I watched Chamath call in live to a spac scammers live stream. This scammer drove a beater and would pump various spac warrants on his way home from the warehouse job on twitch.

Maybe I'm misreading what you mean, but I don't understand why it's not solving problems. Lack of capactiy solved buy buying more hardware or replacing existing hardware with more powerful hardware. In the datacenter you need to have capacity planning pretty early on, while in the cloud you can get by until reaching very large cloud bill.

I also don't think that every organisation that needs file storage must build a storage solution that should compete the reliabiltiy and features of S3. Most of the times you can get by just fine at fraction of the cost.

So you were just lucky and Linux didn't happen to allocate system / driver critical memory to your specific RAM's broken side and this sheer luck gets it a praise.

I had the opposite. I got a Thinkpad with a broken RAM IC. Windows was booting and working 99% normally with the desktop apps. However running a browser caused it to completely freeze. Linux didn't even boot. It didn't move past the early stage. So it is Linux' fault now?
So how can you claim what an LLM is doing if we cannot define it regardless?

Deallocating stack-allocated objects is completely free. Allocating in a thread-local buffer maybe can be fast as allocating on the stack, but the allocations still increase the frequency with which the gc has to collect garbage.

NanoSage – a Monte Carlo inspired researcher
I built NanoSage, an open-source research assistant that explores topics like we do—refining queries, generating subqueries, and ranking relevance. Instead of a list of links, it maps its journey as a Table of Contents (TOC) (graph) backtraces and generates a retrieval-augmented report (RAG).

Democracy demands a lot of the electorate. We have to be willing to suppress our own values and accept those of our opponents, when the vote doesn't go our way.

It's reasonable for all of us to expect that the election was secure, with a very high degree of certainty. When people aren't willing to consider the possibility of shenanigans, or that the systems* we're using might be insecure, we shouldn't be surprised that people are unwilling to do the democratic thing and accept the winner.

*by "system", I don't just mean the voting machines themselves, but also the whole process surrounding the collection and tallying of votes.
I would be very careful to claim exactly that as emergent properties seem kinda crucial for artificial and human intelligences. (Not to say that they are equally functioning nor useful.)

What are you not convinced about?

Are you not convinced this is what they mean?
You're mistaking prevalence for bias.

There's always going to be more men interested in this field than women, which means you'll see more men in class and more men in industry (read Damore's essay for why).

However, that doesn't mean that at an individual level there is bias against women. In practice, in most tech companies, there is significant bias towards hiring and promoting women.

As difficult as it may have been to achieve the career outcomes you desire, it is significantly more difficult for a individual man with the same skillset to achieve the same outcomes without that preferential treatment.

I think you don't realise this because men are more prevalent. The majority of promotions may go to men, but that's simply because there are more men in this field, not because at an individual level they are each receiving preferential treatment over you.
Could not agree more. The All In guys stopped engaging in thought provoking and critical conversations a long time ago. And holy hell, Jason Calacanis is the biggest weasel on the podcast. At least the other turds own who they are, while Jason will be whatever gets him access to the “in crowd”.

> AGI is a weakly defined term, but generally speaking we mean it to be a system that can tackle increasingly complex problems, at human level, in many fields.

Is it just me, or is that an incredibly weak/vague definition for AGI? Feels like you could make the claim that AI is at this level already if you stretch the terms he used enough.
This is not coming from the Harris campaign. Seems like a material difference. Also a hit repo of the technology to do exactly the thing showing up in the data and then the author directly tied to the winning candidate is something that would be relevant in court. The 2020 court cases never had anything remotely close to that level of credibility. They are a joke.
You've download the raw data and confirmed for yourself that there's no "russian tail" pattern in the data?
I think there is a 3rd mode "I know exactly what I want, I just need this thing to autocomplete 90%+ of it in one shot so I don't have to type it all". Like when you're building out a class and you know it needs to have certain variations of constructor, certain types, certain public and private methods, certain ways to iterated and deep copy, certain ways to pretty print and build up the plumbing to tie those to the default printing methods of the language, and so on.

It's not really the "I don't care" mode as you care very much it matches specifically what you want to build out rather than "something which seems to work as a class if I paste it in". It's also not really "I want to learn something here" as you already know exactly what you want and you're not looking for it to deviate, you're just looking to have it appear a couple times faster than if you typed it out. This is, more or less, "I want faster autocomplete for this task" usage.
I'm not talking about the events themselves or how significant they are—I'm only talking about HN comment threads.

Often, a sequence of related stories (S1, S2, ..., Sn) produces threads that are more or less the same as their predecessors, rather than focusing on the specific new information introduced by any Si. This particularly happens when the topic is a major and divisive one, like the current one.

What happens in this cases is that people tend to post their generic views about $Person or $Topic, often in vehement terms and without much curiosity about the specific details of what's happening. In this way we get threads that don't differ very much from one discussion to the next. That's what I mean by "interchangeable".

My biggest terminal frustration would be lack of access to Terminal. I have loved terminal windows since about 1981 or so. I was a big DOS fan and would only use Windows up until the Mac switched to OS X. I switched and never looked back.

Every day I use zsh on my Mac and bash on all the servers I use (almost all are Ubuntu).

My biggest peeve is the difficulty with formatting output in an elegant way when writing shell scripts. I have wrangled it for the most part, but all the solutions that I have found seem a bit janky.
Perhaps...

Seems more like throwing good money after bad as they appear to make it so you have to get an API key to do anything useful and then there's the possibility of spending significantly more than the $20 month 'pro' plan. Not something I'm really all that interested in considering this has nothing more than entertainment value and, from a video on the youtubes that broke the costs down, they have the highest per token rate.

I have enough yaks to shave to justify $20/month but anything over that...
Tons of languages have soundness bugs. While that one is ten years old, there have been zero reports of it ever being found in the wild, and it will finally be fixed relatively soon.
I’m currently building something like this. It comes at the problem from a different angle though. The app uses the book to aid discussions for the current reading sections.

Good ‘ole “your best talent leaves and worst talent stays” anti-union/union busting propaganda. Have heard this many times over the years yet have not seen any data confirming this.

The position of the Democratic party shouldn't change the analysis. If there is evidence it should be analyzed on its own merits.

I suggest you add a 'detail' view so that:

- mobile users can easily see the external links (which are hard to see in a list view on a narrow screen)

What makes me sick is how the word "fraud" is being abused now too. Like those in power in the US are redefining it to mean "things I don't like". It's very dangerous.

It's incredibly Orwellian.
Writing is organized thinking, and organized thinking is valuable, now more than ever, in a world more and more people are delegating thinking to LLM everyday.

I once read from a comment in HN or a blog saying that, in the future writing will be like workout; in the past the daily physical labors forced people to build muscle on some aspects, but technology freed people from the labors as well as the muscles. Now if you want to build muscle you have to workout. Writing and organized thinking is going to be like that in the future: only those who wish to and take action to build organized thinking muscle will have them.

That is why to me writing itself is valuable, even if nobody reads it. Bonus points if somebody stumbles across my blog and it somehow builds my credibility.
You've never heard of courts? The world does not work the way you think it does at all.
Influenza Type A was awful this year. It took out our whole house. Having both parents and the kids sick at the same time is a whole new type of torture.
My understanding of the post is that women have been marginalised for so long, the poster thinks it’s ok that we make provisions to correct this. The poster doesn’t mind we take some actions to correct this.

The poster also says that meritocracy is an illusion. And men have too much ego, and that it’s too easy for men to have their egos hurt.

Am I wrong? I don’t particularly disagree with any of those points.

It's going to be used to amass more power. "The President" makes baseless claims that everything is fraud now. "So much fraud, fraud, fraud". Everything he says is a projection.

> governments can handle long term thinking and capitalists can't

I don't think anyone is arguing against the long term planning capabilities of capitalists. The disagreement is about whether their plans are beneficial to society.

For example, take the case of the aggressive marketing for baby formula that nestle carried out in the third world. Very forward thinking long term strategy, and innovative too: Other baby formula vendors were not focussing on these nations. The outcome was twofold. On the one hand, higher profits for nestle, and on the other, increased infant mortality in the targeted nations.

Now, whether that outcome was desirable is entirely up for debate. Me, personally, I'm not a huge fan of infant mortality, but to each their own. What is not up for debate is that nestle engaged in some effective long term strategizing.
Prior to the Internet/Web any sort of pause in software was anathema. Now AppleOS spins for 20 or 30 seconds on file security checks.
I did a bunch of my own math on this a while back related to this.

1. On of the big tradeoffs is the sun sync orbit altitude chosen. The higher up you are, the slower you have to tilt to track, the longer time possible on a given customer, and bigger range of possible customers you have as the sat goes around. But, as you are higher, the size of sunlight you send gets bigger and bigger. A 5km by 5km circle is going to waste a lot of energy on not-solar panels all but the largest solar installations. If you double the light radius, you quarter the intensity.

2. Most of the earth is water. Of that land left, most of the land is quite uninhabited. This means that most of your time orbiting is going to be over areas with no paying customers.

3. I think the EEVBLog video overestimates the cost per sat, but I still didn't get the economics to work out to something profitable.
Whilst the Atari 2600+ and Atari 7800+ are faithful reproductions, the controller’s of this era are all kinds of horrible.

They don’t even come close to a modern game controller, and these new systems would benefit from a modern interpretation rather than being a faithful rerelease.
Wonder how fast it was going. Looks like the whole wheel got ripped off.
All of your criticisms are unrelated to understanding the analysis (or software). Let's read it, work through it and discuss it, rather than dismissing it for all the wrong reasons. Flagging this submission is anti-curious. Instead of not engaging if you're not interested in doing the work, you're trying to suppress other people from doing the work. It may turn out that none of it is convincing, but we don't know that right now and what has already been presented is surprising and worth investigating.
> The only advantage we really have is long-term memory.

We also have short term memory that is associative to our long term memory. So, STM is about 7 items. But those 7 items are also pointers to LTM.

Genuine question - What's the meaning of "activating" as an opposite to "interesting" in this context? I've never heard it used like this and couldn't get good results from searching.
Of course, another major factor there is that just about everyone subject to the Aztecs hated them for a variety of reasons, but most obviously all the raiding/kidnapping and blood sacrifice. That's not to say the Spanish Empire was necessarily better, but their opportunities would have been much slimmer if the Aztecs had been even a little bit less all-around cruel.
There is nothing spooky or nefarious about the existence of that test suite.

But that this skill set gets you into E's inner circle definitely goes onto the ever-growing pile of circumstantial evidence that something is not right.
Actually better is the book "The Fifth Sun: A new history of the Aztecs" written in Nahuatl (the Aztec language) and translated by Camille Townsend. It is an account of how the Aztecs viewed conquest, which they didn't see as a conquest initially. Also the descriptions of the city of Tenochitlan indicate that it was just as sophisticated, and cosmopolitan as it is today: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_Sun:_A_New_History_of_th...

I am a working to learn a second language right now, one of the elements I have encountered is that I don't like is the anki apps UI, and the variety of stylings of anki cards from deck to deck, and how audio plays (or doesn't) depending on the app (web, mac, ios). Lot's of little UX frustrations that push me away from using it myself constantly.

I see from your LinkedIn for the site that the application: "automatically generates personalized Anki decks. With integrated spaced repetition, automated word examples, and native audio, it lets you build efficient, focused lessons—no rigid courses required."

Based on the wording and having used the application briefly before the application crashed, I'm assuming this is some kind of LLM backend that generates the text data for the cards as well as the audio from a TTS model for each card?

Please correct me if I'm wrong on that, because I've personally worked to build something similar for personal use and would love to read more about your framework and what's going on under the hood.
Elon Musk is the #1 richest man in the world, out of >7 billion. Everyone knows who he is.

Celebrities to him are almost what commoners are to rich people. Joe Rogan, the biggest podcaster, has <0.1% net worth. Most have far less: they actually need to make money from podcasting and can't afford certain things, whereas 0.001% of Musk's net worth is enough to live an entire life well-off. And it's not just money; I'm sure far, far more people learned about Rogan when he interviewed Musk than vice versa.

Wealth, attention, and power influence people. If you had more of them, or a solid chance at more, you'd be influenced too.
While curious, intelligent young people are still self-assembling in small groups, I'd hope they'd be more shmoo group, l0pht/cDc, or w00w00 than 4chan. Maybe they are and we're just hearing about this one because they're thrown into the political frying pan.
A reminder that a major factor in USPS's budget concerns is the unique requirements they've been obligated to meet with regard to their pension funding: https://apwu.org/usps-fairness-act

>You just ruled out 99% of humans from having reasoning capabilities.

After a conversation with humans I think you'd agree 1% of them being able to reason deeply is a vast overestimation.

A good example to see how little people can reason is the following classic:

> Given the following premises derive a conclusion about your poems:

> 1) No interesting poems are unpopular among people of real taste.

> 2) No modern poetry is free from affectation.

> 3) All your poems are on the subject of soap bubbles.

> 4) No affected poetry is popular among people of taste.

> 5) Only a modern poem would be on the subject of soap bubbles.

The average person on the street won't even know where to start, the average philosophy student will fuck up the translation to first order logic, and a logic professor would need a proof assistant to get it right consistently.

Meanwhile o3-mini in 10 seconds:

We can derive a conclusion about your poems by following the logical implications of the given premises. Let’s rephrase each premise into a more formal form:

Premise 1: No interesting poems are unpopular among people of real taste.
This can be reworded as:
If a poem is interesting, then it is popular among people of real taste.

Premise 2: No modern poetry is free from affectation.
This tells us:
If a poem is modern, then it is affected (i.e., it shows affectation).

Premise 3: All your poems are on the subject of soap bubbles.
In other words:
Every one of your poems is about soap bubbles.

Premise 4: No affected poetry is popular among people of taste.
This implies:
If a poem is affected, then it is not popular among people of taste.

Premise 5: Only a modern poem would be on the subject of soap bubbles.
This means:
If a poem is about soap bubbles, then it is modern.

Now, let’s connect the dots step by step:

From Premise 3 and Premise 5:

All your poems are on the subject of soap bubbles.

Only modern poems can be about soap bubbles.

Conclusion: All your poems are modern.

From the conclusion above and Premise 2:

Since your poems are modern, and all modern poems are affected,

Conclusion: All your poems are affected.

From the conclusion above and Premise 4:

Since your poems are affected, and no affected poem is popular among people of taste,

Conclusion: Your poems are not popular among people of taste.

From Premise 1:

If a poem is interesting, it must be popular among people of taste.

Since your poems are not popular among people of taste (from step 3), it follows that:

Conclusion: Your poems cannot be interesting.

Final Conclusion:
Your poems are not interesting.

Thus, by logically combining the premises, we conclude that your poems are not interesting.
