I've only played around with k and APL in my spare time so I can't speak to real world problems. It is a ridiculously powerful query language, where in SQL you have only started writing `SELECT ...`, in k you are already done. But you need to have very good tacit knowledge of algorithms and the weird syntax to be productive, like oh I need to calculate an integral-image of this time-series, but that just a pre-scan over addition, boom and you are done. The theory of array programming with a focus in combinators is also an interesting perspective on functional programming. IMHO not something you should write full program in, but that hasn't stopped some from trying.
That isn't ever going to happen, and modern airline safety is nothing short of a miracle. There are on the order of 10-20 million flights a year in the US, carrying 900 million passengers. You could take 5 million flights before you could statistically expect to die. This is one of those rare things in the world where a system has been developed that works, and it involves making slow changes with extreme planning and caution.
You take for granted that delivering the user value of a web application needs to be in the form of dealing with "HTML, CSS, JavaScript, XML, SGML, SVG, etc. An entire runtime environment with garbage collector." There is nothing inevitable about that.

Sorry, I don't follow what you're disagreeing with. I was summarizing what Karpathy talks about in the vicinity of 1:31:00 - where he talks (I assume notionally) about a specific neuron lighting lighting up to indicate uncertainty, and how empirically this turns out probably to be the case.

Edit: concretely, we can presume that OpenAI didn't specifically train ChatGPT to know that "Orson Kovacs" isn't a famous person, right? That's all I'm saying here - that they trained it how to say it doesn't know things, and it took care of the rest.

Computers have the option of a replacement hardware where humans do not. Perhaps to tweak the analogy and suggest the computer is specialist hardware running software designed for it that runs a stupidly expensive CNC made by a company that no longer exists. That changes the equation such that spending more than the computer hardware is worth is now worthwhile.

And 2. If you have chronic fatigue it’s nothing like fatigue a healthy person would experience - it’s next level. There were some thoughts to change the name to mild paralysis because sometimes you can be so fatigued that you literally cannot move.

There are objective ways to measure it. Post Exertional Malaise has a number of tests, two day max exertion test for one. There are also immuno assays which are pretty definitive. You can take plasma from someone with ME/CFS introduce healthy white blood cells, expose it to a salt water stress test and measure how quick the cells run out of energy and the results are definitive here too. Hard to fake that.

As for the subjectivity, when looking at post viral fatigue there seems to be 3 categories of people; 1 people who appear to be incapable of getting post viral fatigue, they'd die before reaching some threshold which suggests that there is a genetic aspect to susceptibility. 2 people who grew up with a progressive ME/CFS who are highly susceptive to post viral fatigue but consider the fatigue within their normal experience. 3 people who don't have ME/CFS but are at least partially susceptible, specially with Covid, and anecdotal accounts of their experience tends to have a common thread of never had experienced that level of fatigue before in their entire lives.
Incremental improvement on flight time wouldn't even really benefit many passengers all that much, if I fly London to East coast US/Canada I spend more time getting to/from airports, and waiting in airport or on the field, than I do in the air.

Sure if it was twice as fast with the same comfort that might be a meaningful dent in the whole experience, but if the first step was 8h becomes 7.5h or then 7h, etc., meh?

I'm not sure how much appetite/passenger money there really is for working on this problem. Maybe more frequent smaller flights, or with higher cargo ratio, would appeal to airlines though.
> C4 approach to diagramming

This highlights my only beef with TFA, since it seems to go against the advice to not mix abstraction levels.

TFA is great advice for getting at least mediocre diagrams, informative and inoffensive. But the best diagrams are deliberately mixing levels to highlight stuff, because layer boundaries are usually where it gets tricky. Maybe none of this is relevant if you really want to split hairs about what architecture vs system vs component diagram “really” means, but I’m not aware of nonfuzzy definitions for that and most people seem to use the terms informally.
I think the idea is that fuzzy search makes it easier for users to spot typos and this is a general feature of the flag library not something specific for --help.

Short-circuit any typo may be dangerous.

Now, an argument can be made for including as many aliases for "help" and "version" as possible but that's a different story

Show HN: Organizing cafes to work in Seoul for digital nomads and freelancers
Hello!

I’ve been wanting to create a project for freelancers and digital nomads. So, I started with a project to organize cafes that are great for working in Seoul. The content is not much yet, but I can add more cafes later.

So, I’m looking for feedback. Do you think this is a useful project? Is there demand for it? If you have any other ideas, please feel free to share. And I know the UI isn’t pretty yet — that will be updated later!

Thank you.
All of that "free" and "cheap" stuff has not always been free or cheap - even a decade ago. In the mid-late 90's when these decisions were being made even hosting a minimal site was incredibly expensive and largely the realm of universities and big business.
There's not much point in getting faster.

Due to the the time it takes at either end, there's a fixed minimum time cost to flying. Maybe three or four hours counting both ends.

If I'm taking a 6 hour flight, it's actually a 10 hour flight. If the airplane gets there twice as fast, it's a 7 hour chunk of my time. I save three hours but how much am I willing to pay for that? It's still effectively a calendar day gone.

For shorter flights, this is even worse. For super long flights like London to Sydney, maybe it would be useful to double the speed, so that you're not wasting two days instead of one, but doubling speed is also pretty far from possible.
Not to mention, if you have a good idea, OAI, Anthropic, Google, will implement it.

Even ignoring the sibling comment debunking your "tiny, tiny percentage"...

There's a huge difference between extremely-high-production-value Superbowl ads and regular TV ads.

There's another huge difference between regular TV ads and some of the ads you can get on YouTube (example: someone I follow decided, For Science™, to actually watch the entirety of a 5-hour ad they got on YouTube for...I think it was one of the Lego Movies? It consisted entirely of an endless repetition of the same 3-minute-ish song).

There's also a huge difference between what people are willing to tolerate in order to reduce some of the often-absurd financial burden they're being put under, and what people actually like, or are genuinely content with.

"Revealed preference" theory is a bunch of motivated reasoning.

And even if not everyone does, operating entire flights at business class+ fares is probably not viable. Especially given that lie-flat seating (e.g. Polaris) with at least decent food is pretty comfortable for the people who are willing to pay a premium.
> getting super human at coding

They're getting super-human at _competitive coding_, which is essentially identifying and writing algorithms. They _are not_ good at general coding, as demonstrated by their subpar scores at benchmarks like SWE-bench, and even those aren't particularly representative of what a real coding job is.
Agreed I have heard that feedback a few times now. I tried to make sure the A and B levels were pinned down as it was quite verbose in my testing. I'll have a look into C1 and C2 levels. If you have examples I can back test against I'll use them.

Thanks for the feedback!
My impression is that a focus on dignity and worth of every person has lead to a complete fixation on rights and wants of minorities and underprivileged groups.

What is missing from this point of view are individual responsibility and willingness to contribute. From what I see online some people a fed up with this approach and this has caused the current backlash.

Perhaps dignity needs to be complemented by responsibility and we all ought to keep both in mind?
Show HN: A unique generated maze to share with your Valentine
An experiment with maze generation, started off in Rust, then ported to js to make it a web-app.

The algorithm, code and setup aims to make it simple - and as always, simple turned out hard ;).

The "about" dialog has some more information on choices made, tech used, inspiration and backgrounds.

Most important, for a tech crowd, I guess is:

- it uses p5.js - I generally prefer just vanilla js and canvas for my generative art projects, but here I wanted to focus on the outcome, not the tooling.

- uses seedrandom with the name of you and your valentine as seed. So a unique, but reproducible maze for a pair of names. Randomness controls the colors, layout and maze generation.

- Yes, the code is a mess still. Refactoring breaks my creative process, so I tend to postpone it (aka forget about it...)

- It uses some browser apis (share, copy, download) that don't work for all browsers in all setups (e.g. copy doesn't work on my firefox android, no idea why).

I think it's less about that and more whether or not they used the free or paid API.

I think if OpenAI (or any other company) are paid for their compute time/access as anybody would, then using content generated by other models is fair game. Because it's an active/ongoing cost and not a passive one.

Whereas if someone trained on my dumb Tweets or HN posts then so be it; it's a passive cost for me - I paid my time to say x thing for my own benefits (tribal monk-e social interaction) therefore I have already gotten the value out of it.

I was taught during grade school that capitalism drives lower prices, and since capitalism is good, it's alluded that paying less money for a product of similar value is almost a moral obligation. That company selling the "same thing" for more is obviously fleecing people and should go bankrupt.

That model may have worked hundreds of years ago when comparing horseshoes made by local blacksmiths, and possibly still held up when comparing mousetraps made in the same state / country. But it has issues when applied globally, and we have not adopted fast enough.

> I've long been confused to why there was no legislation to prevent "local" companies from giving away the keys to their kingdoms to foreign countries.

For a long time this seemed like an exceptionally good deal for the US.

Other countries dig up their rare natural resources, send them to us, and in exchange we send them intangible products like Microsoft Office licenses? That's a great deal. You're literally getting something for nothing.

Other countries' workers make refrigerators for us, sell them to us really cheaply, then they also send a load of the profits back to us because they licensed an American-owned design and brand? You cannot lose.

Meanwhile, supposedly the skilled, high-added-value manufacturing would stay in the West with our educated workforce. And to top it all off, this was supposedly making the poor countries less poor and more democratic as you can't trade without free-flowing communication and a prosperous middle class.

Of course in practice this has gone badly in the long term. The current generations are certainly feeling the consequences. But for the previous generations? They got the highest standard of living in the world!

This report also doesn't seem to clarify what is meant by "ad blocker," specifically, which makes the whole thing pretty suspect. Looking into the sources they provide, at least one of them doesn't mention ad blockers at all, even though the related image is about people blocking ads. So, yeah, I'm not considering this to be reliable information.
