That's about 95% of Hackaday articles [1] [2]...but I think video is not the ideal format for reaching HNers. The LGR video didn't get much traction last week, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42822296

For me, the folksy personal nerd narrative style that makes success on Youtube, doesn't resonate with the parts of me that make HN sticky. I kind of put up with LGR while admiring what he's doing...I will often watch his videos, but I don't subscribe.

[1]: and rehashing articles and other videos is a large fraction of Youtube.

I don't know, I would prefer such things to be slightly robotic over them being in the uncanny valley.
To save some people a click: it requires a subscription.
It's been years since Google demoed their shocking AI voice calls, and still this seems to be the state of things. It's hard to separate the words from the robotic voice here but the state of Google Translate has also been really sad the last few times I've tried it, given the fantastic translation that most LLMs can provide these days.

> decided to point blank stop looking at startups that were solely focused on AI

The latest ycombinator AI promo video on youtube makes it seem like few are getting in anymore unless they are building around AI. And they strongly push that startups should be hiring developers who use AI tools on top of that.
Can you recommend an exact model?
Waters are often muddied here by our own psychology. We (as a species) tend to ascribe intelligence to things that can speak. Even more so when someone (or thing in this case) can not just speak, but articulate well.

We know these are algorithms, but how many people fall in love or make friends over nothing but a letter or text message?

Capabilities for reasoning aside, we should all be very careful of our perceptions of intelligence based solely on a machines or algorithms apparent ability to communicate.
They can do whatever they want, but I will reserve the right to sue them. If not in the US, then abroad.

Kevin's books tend to be more foundational based on battle-tested techniques (I love his probabilistic ML book series, https://probml.github.io/pml-book/). GRPO is a relatively new technique introduced by the DeepSeek team, and their seminal DeepSeekMath paper is actually a great resource. In short, it improves over PPO by not having to train a separate critic, thereby saving computational resources.
Ah, yes, the profession that most struggles to make ends meet.

I was trying to understand what you meant by “insane”, but you already moved the goalposts to “implausible”, so it’s not clear to me that you even know what you’re claiming.

However, if I were to take a guess, it’s something like “people sometimes believe things without proof”. But obviously this is not true only of religious people, other people have their own creation stories – the sole difference is their’s don’t involve worship. And I agree they can’t all be right, but perhaps one of them is.
>what “my data” means

It makes me wonder, if everyone 'owned' their own data, I wonder if it could be used as a form of UBI. Everyone has data from using services, everyone owns it, everyone can sell it to make a living just doing whatever they are doing everyday.

This is only just a shower thought I had the other day though, there are probably many pitfalls when it comes to such an idea.

My German peaked during an exchange, where after a few weeks of it "washing over" me I was using the language more naturally, even if still making frequent errors. Equally my French peaked when I was working around lots of French tourists, so I'm very onboard with this exposure-based approach.

Nuenki is pretty much what I was looking for - plus it's a good shove to make switch from Safari to Firefox (a change I've been meaning to make).

I've heard of Anki as a learning tool, but not tried it. What makes it miserable?

I'll be sure to checkout the Reddit and YouTube links too. Thanks for the help internet stranger!
awesome that's the same reason why I use it. It's basically a balance between the full html and having the markdown type scrapers that are better for just text. Do you mind if I reach out to you once I set up the Github?
Good point! If I could write the comment over again, I'd probably leave out the ex-Googlers. But I thought of another math PhD who was happy to work for Eliezer's institute, Scott Garrabrant. I could probably find more if I did a search of the web.

You understand that this state of affairs has been created by the bigoted side? I just want to live in peace and build stuff that makes the world better, not worry about the federal government coming after me and pretending I don't exist. Please try not to get so fooled next time.
I don't think any of us are qualified to tell the difference between exhibiting reasoning and mixing examples taken from the entire internet. Maybe if the training data was small enough to comprehend in its entirety, we could say one way or the other, but as it stands none of us have read the enitre internet, and we have no way of finding the stackoverflow or Reddit conversation that most closely resembles a given chain of thought.
Fair, apologies for having a knee-jerk reaction to it. It just sucks to scroll a tiny bit on forums and get bombarded with pure hate. I understand that it doesn’t represent the majority, but makes you scratch your head and think why so many level headed people are willing to throw away trust that was built throughout decades. Like I get the whole America First approach, and understand the desire to build out the manufacturing locally… but is it worth it to turn away all of your allies and make them get closer with the actual super power that wants to dethrone you?
Yep, no bots. A real bug not only means that I wasted someone else’s time, but reporting is a gift for an improvement. If a misunderstanding then it’s motivation that my project is used and deserves a generous reply. This perspective and treating as strictly a hobby, rather than as a criticism or demand for work, makes OSS feel more sustainable.

Then your claim lacks any supporting evidence, and that which is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

I can think of about 10 different ways that the information in your YouTube video could be 100% true and correct, and the FAA could still be at fault. You do not have enough evidence to claim what you're saying.
For now. But they're ambitious and have a lot of enablers.

Project 2025 is real, and now that he's gained office he and his enablers are going to try to follow through with all of it. They're going to change the rules they want and ignore those they can't.
I think it's really up to the highly nebulous definition. Even in your comment is implied that reasoning and consciousness are two names of the same thing but i'd argue one is here and one will never be provable ever. Reason is working through logical steps, much like a program. It's a set of conditions that get checked and a logical structure that uses that information to reach a conclusion. That's what sets it apart from gut feelings or emotional thinking, it's a traceable structure with "reasons". I can watch the LLM speak base facts out loud, then begin to synthesize them giving _reasons_ for the choices it's making, culminating in a final conclusion. It's already doing that. That is what i call reason. It doesn't mean it's human, it doesn't mean it's "aware of itself", it just means it's thinking a train of thought with concrete steps between each car. Consciousness is completely undefinable and useless as a metric and will never be probably achieved.

At first, “scary numbers” seems ridiculous. Then you realize we live in a world where otherwise meaningless numbers (also known as “money”) are, because of their emotional effects on others, scaling up to the whole society, legitimately fear-inducing.

I wonder: to which extent are purchased/brokered app real-time location data feeds used by various intelligence services to target missile strikes in war zones? In e.g. Ukraine/Russia.
> It's true in the informal sense. Normal people, when considering an "infinitely" bad thing happening (being killed, losing their home, etc) with a very low probability will round that probability to zero ("It won't happen to ME"), multiply the two and resultantly spend zero time worrying about it, planning for it, etc.

Is this the kind of thing that is part of the Less Wrong cult? I see this "multiply" word being used which I understand is part of the religious technology of LW. It all seems very sophomoric. I don't know what talking about "Infinity * 0" means in an informal sense means. What I can tell you is that "Normal people" are not multiplying "infinitely bad" with a "very low probability rounded to 0". For one, this is conflating multiple senses of infinite. I'm not sure anyone thinks likes bad outcomes are "infinitely bad", maybe in a schoolyard silly-talk kind of way, they just think it is bad. I think that's basically what Less Wrong is, a lot of fancy words and Internet memes and loose-talk about AI all strewn together in a "goth for adults" or some other kind of nerd social club.
Anyone is allowed to publish a list of "bad words". Did they force the CDC to retract 5 million perfectly good studies because they contained the words?
My startup got acquired last year so I haven't interviewed anyone in a while, but my technical interview has always been:

- share your screen

- download/open the coding challenge

- you can use any website, Stack Overflow, whatever, to answer my questions as long as it's on the screenshare

My goal is to determine if the candidate can be technically productive, so I allow any programming language, IDE, autocompleter, etc, that they want. I would have no problem with them using GPT/Copilot in addition to all that, as long as it's clear how they're solving it.
I'd add in The Bridge - original Swedish version with subtitles - is another of my favorite shows. The Nordic Noir genre has mix of intellectualism and misanthropy that I love in shows (including Severance).

You've never actually verified this claim, have you? Next time - please do it.

- structs, with auto, sequential and explicit layout, with complex SROA and promotion handling

- stack-allocated buffers, unsafe fixed and inline arrays, even managed objects can have their layout configured

- monomorphized struct generics compiled the same way they do in Rust

- raw and byref pointers with pointer arithmetic

- portable and platform-specific SIMD, platform-specific intrinsics

- zero-cost interop which enables calls into malloc/free at the cost of C/C++ (you do not actually need this - there is a managed reimplementation of mimalloc which is fully competitive with the original)

- static linking with native dependencies when using nativeaot

We are running out of critical metals. Regardless of whether it's us (AstroForge) or someone else, this has to happen, and it has to happen a lot sooner than we realize.
You should give it a try and watch the S1 entirely. Based on your comment, it seems like you are watching it with a different lense. It is not a drama or thriller where you'd look for holes. It is about perspective of someone who is new to this world trying to blend in.

Pointing out a tradeoff isn’t the same as arguing for the other extreme. That’s splitting[1], a well-documented cognitive distortion. A bit of therapy can be great for catching these patterns—sharpening your reasoning toolkit, so to speak.

I found Shogun the show to be relatively disappointing, after having read the book before. The book has a lot of nuanced explanations of people's motivations and philosophical/intelligent dialogue that the show just skips over, since they wanted to cover a huge tome in just one season.

This series deserved to be 2X longer to cover those imho.
The deep state does not exist. It is a bogeyman, so that Trump can rip up whatever he likes.
Unlikely. I'd think the most valuable data is generally the type that can be used to extract money from you. Targeted ads and such. So, your data's value would increase in proportion with your spending power.
Honestly, this had nothing to do with mutual investors. While that's great, the space community is small, and we all talk to each other. Andy and Stoke Space are an amazing team, and in this case, we shared a lot of benefits with each other. It's a rare win/win.

> I've heard of Anki as a learning tool, but not tried it. What makes it miserable?

I'm a bit biased here. I used it prolifically for years in order to optimise my learning (school, not languages) so that I could compensate for a concussion. I heavily burnt out of it and I've not touched it since.

Nevertheless, if I were to say something more objective, it's that it's very dull. Other learning methods have you going over either somewhat-engaging content or intellectually stimulating learning (e.g. reading about the complexities of grammar).

Anki is just... word. think. click. feedback. repeat. repeat. repeat 200 times. repeat tomorrow.

You can do the whole thing with the space bar and 1-4 on your keyboard.

You can make yourself do that, but be wary of it souring you on the language or burning out.

> Nuenki is pretty much what I was looking for - plus it's a good shove to make switch from Safari to Firefox

I hope you like it! Let me know if you have any feedback etc.

I'd like to add Safari support, but Apple makes it pretty difficult to publish as someone who doesn't have a Mac or lots of money to spend.

Good luck with your German!

As a Java developer the author should take a look at Clojure protocols. Those are even more flexible and can be implemented for 3rd party classes or even standard library classes without wrapping.

I believe Stalin's purges included intellectuals as a group.

>What's the difference?

The pain receptors. The human brain doesn't just "have" pain receptors. Your entire body, including your brain, is one system. Your brain isn't piloting your body like a mech. This brain body dualism is a misconception of how biological organisms work. You are your pain receptors just like you are your brain, and removing any part would alter your perception of the world.

>How does this differ from human learning?

It differs from human beings in every respect. Humans don't do linear algebra in their head, biochemical systems are much too slow for that. Humans don't inhabit some static model of the world learned at some fixed point t, you're a living being. Your brain wasn't trained four months ago and was done at that point. Humans learn with a fraction of the information and through self play, they don't decohere, and so on.

Only if you don't turn WiFi off. To my understanding even the "soft off" option present in iOS stops the phone from beaconing, and just listens in order to collect data for building augmented location services. I don't know what the Androids do. These days both of them also offer randomized MAC address to curtail such tracking.
If the interview is mostly a formality is it still multiple hours of leet code?
That's easy to say from the sidelines, but it's people's jobs we're talking about: they need to eat, and have mortgages and children in college and whatnot. There's a lot at stake for people in very direct and tangible ways. And at this point it's unclear if any of this will even be effective, or if any of Trump's action will stick. "Put your livelihood on the line to perhaps maybe prevent some form of authoritarianism of unclear severity".

I mean, I don't think we really disagree on matters as such, but I do think you're underestimating the extremely difficult position these workers are in.

I think you were browsing the cards and using the quick navigation to go to another card in the same deck. When you actually review the cards using the SRS system to review the cards (the big “Review” button), there is a setting (in the settings view) to enable fuzz (a small random delay; defaults to on) which will effectively scramble the cards for your next review. I actually had been using it for a couple of months without fuzz and just random noise in my retention abilities were enough to scramble the decks, at least in my experience.

But a button in the quick navigation bar when browsing the cards to jump to a random card is not a bad idea.
From a journalistic standpoint, it's entirely fair to report on these 19-24 year olds, and it is not doxxing to do so. They are quite literally now involved in the US government, and are consenting adults making the rational decision to involve themselves in real legal jeopardy.

Some people have unusual chromosomes, ie. Not women or men's, and they can still get pregnant. Other people transition but still have kids. Sex or gender; the language can apply just fine to anyone who gets pregnant and is appropriately vague. I am fairly certain the term isn't one of disrespect to women's rights or accomplishments.
