Out of curiosity, what server cases can actually accommodate 50 drives?
I thought of that, but then I realized you'd run out of space very quickly. Stacking links to the notes in the second sidebar is better. It's alot easier to browse & then jump between.
Oh, sure. But it's an indication that the market does exist.
This one was pretty reasonable:

One benefit to Mutual Funds is that you can do things like reinvest dividends, or investment plans. It's not a fundamental advantage that a mutual fund has, but no brokers that I am aware of would let you do those things with an ETF. So if you have long term "forget it" account, with ETFs it will accumulate cash from dividends. And the tax benefit of ETFs doesn't really help in a tax advantaged account (e.g. retirement). Finally, theoretically at least, when you buy an ETF there is an explicit "transaction cost". Even when they don't charge you a commission, there's a bid ask spread. Mutual funds trade at NAV both ways (unless of course there's an external transaction cost separately disclosed).
This looks like a shameless copy of v0 and Bolt.

It’s crazy to see that VCs companies would throw money for forking and copying an open-source project, and adjusting the prompt.
Share it here. I want to hear it.
I am extremely unlikely to ever allow anything even vaguely related to Elon Musk to implant something in my brain, or even to wear as completely noninvasive "through the skin" helmet or headband-like sensing device. Nevermind something with him as a founder.
Have you checked the costs for restoring from Glacier?

It's not the backing up part that's expensive.

I would not be surprised if you decided to spend the dozen hours of your time after all.
Michael Lewis wrote a ton on this topic. He's not Canadian, but his books are really good, if financial non-fiction is your thing. He wrote The Big Short, among others (Flash Boys is a good one).
SWEs do something other than this??! :)
Why does removing two seperate buttons to flush a toilet make sense to you? I grew up in Canada which always had one before moving to England in the early 2000s where I first encountered two buttons and thought it was weird but 25 years later it makes a lot more sense to have different levels of water usage available.
I’d be ok with looking to streamline NOAA, double check budgets etc, but just disbanding it no.
Wait so we're using READMEs as a file system now?
Wasn’t the issue with large drives that remaining drive has a high chance of failure during re-silvering?
Well, I'm certainly glad that you have figured out the answer to the universal question.

I have spent many years pondering it myself, as I'm sure most of us have. I've even spent some time pondering it while not under the influence of mind altering substances (again, not unique, just wanted to throw that out there).

"The question" is, by design or by accident, unanswerable. At least not with any technology that we have yet contemplated.

Honestly, I could probably write for hours about the many possibilities I have pondered, and some of them are quite interesting (and some are just stupid), but I don't want to ramble and HN is not the place for it.

However, there is a good one that gives me some comfort from time to time. So I will at least share that particular thought:

Assume there was an entity with the characteristics one would normally ascribe to a god: the power of creation, omnipotence, all-knowing intelligence, and being eternal yet simultaneously timeless.

At the moment such a being were to come into existence, certainly in an instant, it would experience the "ultimate realization": it would be forever alone.

In my feeble human mind, that is indeed a twisted fate for such a powerful being. Something straight out of the Twilight Zone.

So then I pondered what I would do in that scenario. And the answer seemed fairly obvious: Everything, with a capital "E".

If it could be done, created, built, lived, experienced, dreamed, loved, hated, you name it.

Where would I do it? Everywhere.

For how long? As long as it took. Even if it required doing it all just a bit different 1000^1000^1000^10000000000 times over.

Why? Because then I would have memories. I would have friends.
Seems rather NSFW btw
Coincidentally I ran across and read this fantastic WIRED article with a lot more detail today.

Curious that the posted article credits a bunch of law enforcement departments but not the PI from the article.
My understanding is that this is common with UTIs, and isn't necessarily predicated on having previously had strokes or brain damage.
Saw this recently: "Seagate: 'new' hard drives used for tens of thousands of hours": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42864788

Check your FARM logs. It sounds like people who were using the drives to mine the Chia cryptocurrency are dumping large capacity drives as Chia's value has fallen.

It would be good to remember Joel did a complete rewrite and blogged about it.

https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2002/04/11/our-net-strategy/

The idea isn't that you can't rewrite in a new language, it's that want to do bit by bit. Don't just to the big bang thing.
Lots of research is done on UI for cars and planes, for understandable reasons. I wonder how much is applicable to other less valued devices where there is little research.

I thought of it because someone was talking about their new super-bright, blinking bicycle tail light. I could see someone naively intuiting brighter is better or blinking is better, but I know UI well enough to know that naive intuition has poor accuracy.

I spent a little time looking for empirical information but almost all I could find was cars. (I did find something that said blinking could be a problem because it's hard to visually and mentally track a moving object in the dark - it's in one spot, disappears, and then reappears in another spot. I did come across the standard blink cycle for cars, which includes total cycle length, and the on-period length and off-period length in each cycle.)
My take is that teams should start to think about biasing for selecting for code review skills instead of pure coding skills.

The AI is going to significantly improve coding output, but at least for a while , we're still going to need human shepherds to make a call on quality, check for performance, security, and conformance to the bigger picture of the system. Maybe longer than we think given that we still have conductors and pilots.

The startup I was at just wound down last December and I interviewed with a handful of companies. None had any code reviews as part of their process, even though they probably already have engineers using Copilot or Cursor.

There's only been one company, a YC startup, that I interviewed with that incorporated a code review (as the first round no less). I ended up creating a lightweight, open source app[0] for teams to incorporate code reviews into the interview process more easily after really enjoying that process with the startup.

> a place where only non-controversial stories and conversations are encouraged

I've made a list of 23 threads (see the reply below), all from the last month. There are over 13k comments in those threads alone, and it's not a complete list.

It's interesting how claims like "only non-controversial stories" or "no discussion of this sort shall be allowed" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42976817) arise during periods when there's a sharp increase in such threads (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42978572).

At first that seems counterintuitive (like Jevons' paradox, or Yogi Berra's "nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded"). But it's not so paradoxical. These aren't factual propositions, they're expressions of a feeling—what people are really saying is not that there is no coverage of these topics, but that they would like more coverage. They often use words like "no", "zero", "never", and "nothing" to express how they feel, but what they mean by these words is "not enough". Which is fair enough. The community always splits between users who want more and users who feel like it's too much.

Also, it's easy to miss any particular thread or sequence of threads. Even among regular HN readers, there will be many who haven't seen even one of the 23 threads listed below, or who only saw 1 or 2, and therefore might naturally feel like none of this is being discussed. Among those, there will be some who feel strongly about it, and some of these will naturally express their feeling in the way I described above. Nonetheless, in reality there is a large amount of this discussion happening—it is by far the most-discussed topic of recent weeks, and will likely continue to be.

> also seems a bit condescending

Sorry for giving that impression! I often add a disclaimer like that because I don't want to sound like I'm making excessive claims about HN's discussion quality. The most I can say is that median discussion quality here is modestly better than elsewhere on the internet, but at its worst it's still pretty bad. I don't mean to put down HN commenters who are using the site thoughtfully. You have to remember that as moderators we see a lot of stuff like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43018472, to pick the most recent example. In fact we must see more of that than any other reader, simply because it's our job to.
>We have no way of knowing which path they will take,

They will take every path we allow them to take. Giving them access to weapons is the first big mistake.
As much as I hate Musk, this brings a tear to my eyes seeing these disabled people regain autonomy and feel like a person again.
Right, I think we're going to find that a test of "Does this sound like a waste to an uninformed person who has thought about it for five seconds" is a pretty poor framework for making sweeping changes.
stuff like this

SELECT jdoc->'guid', jdoc->'name' FROM api WHERE jdoc @> '{"tags": ["qui"]}';

or

SELECT jdoc->'guid', jdoc->'name' FROM api WHERE jdoc @? '$.tags[*] ? (@ == "qui")';

which find documents in which the key "tags" contains array element "qui"

I think the problem is that from our human scale, mass-killings is the "best" method to eliminate the possibility of another organism causing harm for us. Hypothetically, if there was a more optimal (i.e less costly) method like just introducing some cheap catch-all combined vaccination/antiviral into their feed, we would just do that.

We don't have things like that, but that could easily be a consequence of man's limited research capacity, something that an ASI would not necessarily be throttled by. From an ASI's perspective, there might be many methods that are both less brutal and more optimal to fix the "humans creating a competitor" problem. Not that they would be aligned (Think halting human AI research by rewiring our brains to just not be interested in it [0]), but at least not deadly.

"Informative" and "entertaining" are both valid goals for non-fiction writing (and, indeed, fiction writing, if you squint enough to recognize that it can convey "information about how people think/feel/act"). Arguably, the ideal would be to achieve both; but, achieving either is perfectly fine.

Most non-fiction aims to inform, and most fiction aims to entertain, but either can do either.
We're at a point where companies have figured out that they can hire someone on a clerical wage to prompt an AI to do this grunt work, rather than a CS grad on $100k a year.
If it was that or be paralyzed for the rest of your life, would you at least consider it?

I don't like Musk and I find Neuralink spooky in terms of their overall goals, but it's hard to deny how much this invention helps people.
Hey Seth and Ayo - congrats on this launch.
While I think there’s certainly room for improvement, which I’ll address below - this demo makes me feel that you both can keep grinding and succeed with this.
The main feedback I have is similar to others who asked how this is better than Cursor running with a react native codebase and iOS simulator running on the side.
I read your response about being better at iOS/android specific things could be the case (for example, making it really nail payments and subscriptions could be useful) - but it is definitely going to be a tough battle.
If someone can only use your platform and reliably have a react native codebase (version controlled on GitHub), with working Supabase auth, and fully synced with Expo (so basically almost ready to go)- that would be pretty cool!
I also think there’s room for you guys to add value around some of the other annoying parts of launching a native app.
If your app was able to automatically make App Store creatives and essentially publish the app for me with some user-promoting - that would be sick
The article shows a video of Noland, paralyzed from the shoulders down, playing Polytopia. It's great to be fully able-bodied and mock Elon Musk, but for someone to go from using a mouth stylus to playing Polytopia via telepathy is very cool and should be celebrated.

>The Dems are complicit because in about 25 years, they haven't bothered to come up with a simple, effective counterargument.

Because no counterargument, however simple, would be effective. Republicans mistrust "elites" and "academia" and "education" and "science" as a function of their own persecution complex and conspiratorial worldview. And yes, it does make them dumb - aggressively, proudly dumb. A lot of them want NOAA gone because they associate anything weather related with what they consider to be a vast left-wing climate change conspiracy. These are the same people who harass meteorologists because they think they control the weather. There's just no way to argue with that.

There's some rumors of an Arc Pro, which would be a B580 in clamshell configuration with 24 GB of VRAM (which iiuc would be the same memory bandwidth unfortunately). Unless the price is absurd it would be the cheapest dollar/VRAM card at 24 GB.

The same thing that stops them from doing whatever they want to the interest rate. The people managing the economy would not be politicians. Not every activity of the government is undertaken by politicians directly. In fact it would be entirely impossible to elect enough politicians to handle money at that scale. The matter of issuing loans would obviously have nothing to with politicians.

I always find it a little stupid when people claim the government is too powerful. The governments of most countries are massively beholden to business interests. It is to the degree that people cannot separate the ideas of government and corruption. "The democratic electoral process" is not a real thing. Every country that claims to be democratic has a different way of going about this, with differing results. The system in America is one where politics is driven by whoever has the most money. If you gave government the power to subjugate private wealth, you might have an actual democracy.

You seem to treat corruption as a fact of life, but it clearly isn't. You can make laws banning it.
I couldn't tell if it was humor, sarcasm, tongue-in-cheek, or just weird fiction. Talking casually about one's "enemies?" It's definitely not normal to have enemies. I certainly don't have any. Warlords have enemies. Extreme politicians have enemies. Am I just lucky? Or just super non-confrontational? I couldn't relate to a single word of this.
Nice to hear that PMs are still making up deadlines based on vibes rather than real historical output whether it’s a human or AI.
> Post the data and let me decide for myself

NOAA has been posting the data, literally for years now [1], with forecast updates in near real-time[2]. Replacing their data products would be a non-trivial endeavor.

Consider a scenario where someone needed to predict the dispersion of an airborne chemical after an accident, in real time, to coordinate evacuation routes. That is going to require rather precise and up to date modeled weather data - the kind that anyone can go get from NOAA right now. Sometimes the benefits of a system aren't apparent until we need it.

A breakthrough is exactly what everyone is banking on. OpenAI was surprised by GPT3, they were just dumping data into an LLM and ended up with something that was way better than they expected.

Everyone is hoping (probably delusional) that bigger and more impressive breakthroughs will keep leaping up if we just keep tweaking the models and increasing the size of the data sets.
The case involves headnotes, not just key numbers. Your links provide examples of such headnotes, which make it very clear that a lot of human creativity and judgment is involved in authoring them - they're not a matter of purely factual information, such as a phonebook. Thus, the headnotes are copywritten, and translating them to a different language doesn't negate that copyright. This looks like a slam dunk case, but it has very little to do with AI training as such - the AI was only used to create a kind of rough indexing over the translated text.

If this was only about key numbers, it might have gone the other way because the fact-like element there is considerably greater.
Funny enough, I never heard of Quip until now. Looks like Salesforce bought it.
In fairness, creating a universe is pretty useful.
You can. You need a recent Linux kernel, but pytorch now officially supports Intel's extensions (xpu). These are actually a decent consumer proposition because the bottleneck for most people training models on their own hardware is VRAM. These have substantially more VRAM than anything in their price bracket, and are priced competitively enough that you could buy two and have a pretty solid training setup. Or one for training and one for inference.
That is due to differences in language.

In Ireland, for example, it's called the English Channel.

if you have an MNIST classifier that just takes in images, and spits out a probability of digits 1-9, that wouldn't necessarily be generative, if it is only capable of modeling P(which digit | all pixels).

But many other types of model would give you a joint distribution P(which digit, all pixels), so would be generative. Even if you only used it for classification.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generative_model

I guess these days "generative" must mean "it is used to generate outputs that look like the training data".

But until recently, the meaning had to do with the information in the model, not how it's used.

You told a guy complaining that DAWs are too complicated that he should stop being a musician, and now you're telling him to use a tape machine. The entire point was that a program that's a drop-in replacement for a tape machine (or even simpler pieces of equipment) should exist, because it's not that complicated of a concept (even if you can make it complicated by nitpicking details of the execution).
