My honest experience is that S0 is a godsend, when you use a device on a weekly basis S0 is good enough and it just works, no messing and fiddling and tweaking, just running.

Chasing "real sleep" gives me nothing but pain. Also Android devices "sleep" fully awake so it's really "what people are doing".
Anthropic publishes system prompts and at least for the case of Claude 3.5 Sonnet 2024-11-22 asking questions is explicit.

"Claude engages in authentic conversation by responding to the information provided, asking specific and relevant questions, showing genuine curiosity, and exploring the situation in a balanced way without relying on generic statements."

Because the press doesn’t publicize NTSB reports months after the crash. It doesn’t have the same sensational draw to earn clicks. Look up the NTSB docket management system where they release all the reports (just be aware that they list photos as “Text/Image” but videos as “Other”).
Simple. Just add a law saying planes aren’t allowed to flip.
Lidar scanning to create a 3d image model, for those of only here for the "tech" question. The article is worth a read, though.
I remember a lot of my toddler years. I also remember coming out of what, looking back, feels like a dream-like state that was much simpler emotionally and cognitively but had almost a hallucinogenic feel before "waking up" as a toddler.
Can we talk about how the Rationalists seem to attract mentally unstable people to their trainings in mental technology, while also targeting the young with so-called rationality camps?

If at the apex of an organization you have a person who has organized his life in such a way as to have sex with several other people, and if many people involved in the movement pay a tithe to the organization or charities it designates, and if many of the members of this organization go crazy thinking about the impending hell (of AGI), how is this different from a cult?

Providing some context which I think is missing. It originally started as shown HN a little over 4 years ago [1]. It was a one man (Maco )side project.

For a long time, may be at least 2-3 years it was simply an open source, use as you please MIT software with no hosting offering. I remember when it launch the first thing I notice was the graphics design was so much better than other offerings. While I was interested at the time, I ultimately went with plausible. Mostly because it seems to have a sustainable backing, and another major reason was the usage of ClickHouse. If you want best resources usage / scale / performance analytics I don't think there are many other choices. A lot of other solutions, including pleasurable settled on clickhouse as well.

I have recently went to check on them again and looks like things have progressed a lot. They have hosting offering and they are also working on Clickhouse integration.

Between Urchin, Reinvigorated, and another one I can remember its name, it's been a long time I am excited about analytics. I just hope if Mcao read this. Congratz and well done .

I've stayed pretty involved though go into Cambridge less than I used to; the traffic is just so bad. Even volunteer at an annual reunion event now even if I don't go to my own:-) It was good for me and, while my relationship has changed over time, don't really regret a lot.

Definitely gave me a good start on a lot of things--not all academic.
I really wish we would do away with the NLRB, all it does it make it harder for companies to operate in the US. Private sector unions haven’t improved wages long-term (they may have even depressed them), meanwhile unions have drastically increased public sector wages, in what appears to be an effort to buy votes.

Unions, without the strong backing of government, seem to be the way to go.

It was more than one agent who pulled them over, and it isn't clear they were pulled over as a result of being put under surveillance.

Memories aren’t an objective tape recording. Memories are the brain’s model of the world. You spend your life refining your model of the world. Your earliest memories were initial rough approximations (misinterpretations, if you will) that are later superseded by better (more predictive) approximations. So you forget (they don’t activate as predictions) the old inaccurate (less predictive) memories in favor of the newer (more predictive) memories.
Yes. The term of art for this is "demographic bias" and it's exactly what you describe -- the population set has itself a skew for or against some demographic.

An ML image generator designed to repaint someone as a lumberjack should work equally well for all users, no matter the actual real world demographics. So the training dataset needs to account for this demographic bias if it wants to not overfit.

This isn't some recent "woke" phenomena, this has been known about large ML projects for at least a decade, if not longer.

If you are training a model to respond on automated test failures, you don't want to sample real world test data in proportion to automated test results, because most automated tests pass. This is also demographic bias and needs to be handled depending on what you want the model to learn.
I wrote up a bit of background on non-competes in mid-2024, I see my fears came true: https://www.macchaffee.com/blog/2024/non-competes/
Even if that's a few years, that's the progress until we get 1 (useful) qbit. We're then another 3 orders of magnitude from being able to factor a number that can't be factored on a classical computer. I don't think it's impossible, but I do think it's very much in the ~2 decades away stage.
If we go a bit old-school on AI and reason in the "connectionist" framing:

Let's say neural memories are encoded in some high-dimensional vector space.

And so memory recall is an associative process that entails constructing a query vector and issuing it across the neural memory space.

And the brain is constantly learning, and that learning entails some changes in the structure of the high-dimensional memory space.

And let's say that re-encoding of a neural memory happens upon recall, and only upon recall.

Then it could be that all experience is in fact stored, but because of changes due to learning, those memories become inaccessible. The machinery constructing query vectors has updated its structure enough that its encoding of those query vectors is sufficiently dissimilar from the encoding of the stored memory vectors (which use the encoding from the last recall).
If we invested as much into rail safety as we do into air safety, it'd be fair to compare them. Regardless, in the long term rail transportation is simply much more sustainable and increased investment is very much warranted
Remember that ATC will give wind speeds in knots, not km/h.
I'll copy someone's comment from a related thread:

G.K.Chesterton knew it, 100 years ago:

"... insanity is often marked by the dominance of reason and the exclusion of creativity and humour. Pure reason is inhuman. The madman’s mind moves in a perfect, but narrow, circle, and his explanation of the world is comprehensive, at least to him."

It's a very common failure mode, in fact. We tend to swipe inconvenient emotions under the rug, into our subconscious basement. Those emotions don't disappear, and their fumes start poisoning the mind, who believes that it sees clearly. Instead, it quickly surrounds itself with a shell of illusion. In that imaginary castle it sits and slowly goes insane. A simple self-test is asking yourself: do you feel compassion to those around you? Mind alone cannot create compassion, it comes from above to guide the mind. That's also why living a solitary life is a bad idea, especially when your mind wants to self-isolate to guard its precious inner world.

Your critique contains multiple factual inaccuracies:

1. Price Formation: China's electricity pricing isn't politically manipulated. Since 2021, 60.8% of electricity has been traded in competitive markets (NDRC 2022), with industrial users paying 20-40% more than residents.

2. Rural Heating: 12 million rural households received $3.5B in 2023 heating subsidies (MOF), reducing coal-based PM2.5 by 54% since 2015 (MEE). Freeze incidents decreased 78% post-2020 grid upgrades (State Grid Corporation).

3. Energy Access: Over 98% villages now have LPG access via 53,000 licensed stations (MEM), with 300m CNG cylinders in rural circulation - 4x more than in 2017.

4. Affordability: Rural electricity costs average 5.9% of income vs 8.7% in US farm households (OECD 2023). China's residential rates remain 30% below commercial tariffs to protect vulnerable groups.

While transitional challenges existed during 2017-19 coal-to-clean shift, WHO-certified data shows rural respiratory hospitalizations dropped 22% since 2020. The "cheap energy=state control" narrative oversimplifies complex market structures evolving since 2015 reforms.
Crazy, I've just been in Media, PA on my sons birthday this Friday. Didn't expect to see it in the national news.
It's not universal. The things that you do that energize some people will drain other people.
Why this kind of news can popup here regularly, while any news about other massacres always get banned?
When I used to play the piano, making music would occupy the language processor. If you asked me a question while I was playing, I would have to stop in order to reply; I couldn't form any words otherwise.
I agree though I have actually noticed that Amazon is more clear about this than they used to be. They now clearly say you’re buying a license not the book and it may have just been a Europe thing but I think it even made me confirm that I knew some of the implications of that distinction.

Unlike a lot of people on here I think I don’t have fundamental problems with DRM, but I think consumers absolutely should be guaranteed more rights over the things they buy. Maybe something like.

* access is non revokable and if any part of the drm scheme stops working the provider must provide a drm stripping tool

* access is transferable
Idk about factually incorrect, but the piece repeatedly misgenders the cultists, puts their names in scare quotes and favors their old names (and calls those old names their “real names”) and leads with “trans terror” in the headline.

At every turn the purpose of the piece is demonize trans people, even if it got the facts right.
I don't know much, but my guess would be that smaller planes are more prone to both of these issues? The DC problem was a collision between pilots who didn't see each other in time, which seems more likely with a smaller plane, and this seems to be because of wind/traction, which also seems like it would be more likely with a less heavy/large plane?
Nice!

You can't know that.

I had memories as a toddler that I confirmed after meeting my mother for the first time in decades a couple of years ago. Specific things about where I lived, events that had happened and how someone else in our family had died. I had another conversation with an aunt that confirmed other things, including a word from another language that I knew from when I was little but didn't realize wasn't a made up word.

Memory is fallible and we have an imperfect understanding of it, but I know for a fact from personal experience that people can remember events from very early in life if the emotional impact is deep enough.
Would a points-based system improve content quality, or just kill engagement?
Hey everyone, I’m building a business community platform for SME owners & entrepreneurs We’re exploring a points-based system to improve content/discussion quality and really like to get some feedback since this is a forum and I believe it is an issue you may have faced either here or elsewhere. So hope you can give me some feedback.

The goal is to encourage high-value contributions.

Here’s the idea:

1) Everyone starts with 50-100 points. Users earn points when their posts/comments get likes.
2) Posting articles, commenting in “serious discussions” or posting anonymously costs points (e.g., 10 points per comment).
3) Users can still post normally, but "serious discussions" would require either points or LinkedIn Profile displayed (SSO sign in) to encourage more genuine conversations - striking a balance while still allowing for anonymity to a certain extent until they earn more points via quality conversations.

Essentially, we are trying to see how best to achieve the best of both worlds - anonymity vs serious discussions and 2 different preferences.

Do you think this would:
- Points - Improve discussion quality and therefore encourage participation for all or discourage participation and stifle this new platform?

- LinkedIn profile - would knowing the credentials of the person, help you digest, among all the replies/advice you may get, which to lean towards?

Would love to hear your thoughts!

This is wild speculation which even when done by professionals is still nonsense. People read this and will remember it as fact.

Journalists shouldn’t publish this nonsense because it’s exactly the kind of thing that makes people not trust journalists (with good reason).
Absolutely no way to study this.
Odd. My first memory turned out to be when I described in later years to my mother from when I was just over a year old.
a regional is a major airline if not in name but in practice. they contracted out for delta and are considered commercial aviation for the statistics. they had 80 people on board which is still quite a lot of people... smaller than a 777 sure but still a large bird.
This seems... futile. Google has chosen a pretty reasonable approach with tagging differently for users based on jurisdiction.

All of this is just a dick measuring exercise anyway, there's no actual territorial dispute. Ownership of the waterway is unchanged. Not sure if it's a threat to anyone's sovereignty, even though it's dumb.

The people on the youtubes doing the high-HP turbo stuff I watch try really, really hard to keep as much heat in the turbos (using thermal blankets, hi-tech coatings and whatnot) in an effort to extract as much usable energy out of the exhaust gasses as possible.

The cold side heats up due to the compressive 'forces' (or whatever it's called) AFAICT. Same reason superchargers need also need aftercoolers to run at peak efficiency.

One of those pesky laws of thermodynamics seems to imply that if a turbo only used the kinetic energy of the exhaust it would not be able to overcome the losses of transferring the energy into the intake and would be a net drain on power.

Of course, I'm no thermodynamic engineer and am more likely to be wrong than not.

--edit--

Though, certainly, a turbo is harnessing some of the lost energy of the combustion process since the piston can't do a 100% energy conversion.
Since no one has said, but I strongly feel like it should be said and it's so great and positive abd triggers many memories.

Interestingly enough some of the US nuclear bombs contained Canadian made plutonium

“ Despite the declaration of peaceful use, from 1955 to 1985, Chalk River facilities supplied about 254.2 kilograms (560 lb) of plutonium, in the form of spent reactor fuel, to the U.S. Department of Energy to be used in the production of nuclear weapons.[3] (The bomb dropped on Nagasaki, Japan, used about 6.4 kilograms (14 lb) of plutonium.)”

Going directly to batteries is far more efficent. Going from power to hydrogen is incredibly inefficent. So at least not as much energy needs to be produced.

This would make a lot more sense if there was a way to benchmark the effectiveness of a department. There are lots of edge cases in both directions that get ridiculous, but there must be a workable middle ground.

Yup, that’s definitely correct in terms of avoiding most of the complexity. The tips in that blog post can apply to third party libraries, but sometimes the complexity of the lifetime can leak past the API boundary in a way you can’t ignore (but often you can).

You’ve got to start somewhere and the Zuku kingdom was a step change on size and relevance. Pretty sure the other states mentioned there are a fraction of the size of the Zulu one.

The pre Zulu stuff in school was mostly framed as regional flows of people rather than focus on specific states (realistically we’re talking more city states anyway). Eg the Bantu expansion

Haha same. I had to check the timestamp
Lucio Russo's The Forgotten Revolution points out somewhat indignantly that Dedekind was ("just") restating in modern number-theoretical language a definition of proportion or ratio that he found in Book 5 of Euclid.

The translation at https://mathcs.clarku.edu/~djoyce/elements/bookV/bookV.html says:

> Magnitudes are said to be in the same ratio, the first to the second and the third to the fourth, when, if any equimultiples whatever are taken of the first and third, and any equimultiples whatever of the second and fourth, the former equimultiples alike exceed, are alike equal to, or alike fall short of, the latter equimultiples respectively taken in corresponding order.

This is a bit hard to understand, but I think it does come out to the same thing: positing the existence of ratios of magnitudes that cannot be expressed as ratios of integers, but which divide the ratios of integers into those that are less than or greater than the ratio of magnitudes in question.

Further discussion at https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/499395/how-to-best-... seems to agree.
Well, I have found that finding things in common with people is usually a great segue into improving relationships. Learning more about them, also helps a lot. Find the things they care about. It can be surprising.

I have learned to make the first move, myself. It doesn’t work, if I insist on them doing it. Also, I need to accept their value system. If they truly have values that I can’t deal with, I usually “compartmentalize” things, so I don’t deal with them, in those areas.

I’ve spent my entire adult life, getting along with people that don’t play well with others. I haven’t always been able to get through, but I’ve had more success than failure.
They are not going to privatize management - they are going to sell the land so the federal government does not own it anymore and give it to themselves in the form of tax breaks, subsidies to regime friendly companies.
