It is smart and it isn't, there is a reason second-hand tools can be cheap.

The problem is that when you are on a project, you need the thing right now, I am sure the author could have found what he needed for a fraction of the price second-hand, be he also wanted a working washing machine. Not spend a couple of weeks with dirty laundry waiting for the right tools to arrive. The local hardware store is expensive, but here, it is worth it.

You can avoid this problem by planning ahead, but it requires knowing in advance what tools you will need, and the answer is essentially "everything". That's how you find yourself with a home workshop. If you want a home workshop, that's certainly the right thing to do, but it takes space and a bit of investment, even with good deals. And you may find yourself with tools you will never use.

I know, my father left me with a bunch of quality tools he got for cheap. I am grateful for it, even though I didn't use most of them (he didn't either), some of them turned out to be useful, and the unused ones may find some use later. But it is also a good thing that I have a place for them, because that's a lot of stuff.

Buying hardware (laptops and peripherals) from vendors that explicitly support Linux would probably be a good first step for many folks.
You would need wire strippers, and maybe screw drivers for attaching the new plug, if not a soldering iron. :D
Dishonoured is such a great game, both the art and the music made it so immersive and it really felt like the world was alive. The narrative was raw, and human.

The credits song "Honor for All" was the cherry on top as well, it was like I'd been holding my breath the whole game until that moment when the story closed out so perfectly (spoilers for good ending: https://youtu.be/IM7TBRdferM?t=26).

I got the same feeling from GW2's ending song/credits "Fear not this Night" (https://youtu.be/HuwXaAIenJw?t=28).

The Ori games also have such amazing narrative/music, too. (Ending spoilers for the first game: https://youtu.be/Kx9DPTIDB_0?t=232).

Little bit spammy so my apologies, but I just love it when a game's narrative, art and music all come together to make some special. Ori makes me bawl my eyes out to this day. And Dishonoured I felt like I was actually living in Dunwall the entire time, all credit to Viktor Antonov.

From my experience, fire infrared light can be stronger than the sun. I used to

have occasional pain in my left knee, but resolved it by one or two really hot

sessions at the chimney(I nearly burned myself lol so it has to be really hot in

order to get rid of chronical pain). Knee pain is gone now. I have read a theory

of the vagus nerve sending harmful substances produced by the microbiome in the

bowels to the knee to prevent it going to the brain. The useful compounds get

teleported to the brain(we got no clue how the vagus nerve does it, but if you

lack a functioning vagus nerve the transportation ceases).

The only real alternative is erroring, but those can be caught and ignored - is that something that is desireable when encryption is at stake?

Warning log levels should be avoided; it's either important and actionable (error or fatal), or it isn't, in which case it's 'info' log level. I had a blog post about it (appeal to authority) but I can't find it at the moment.

Other than having the drawings floating around it didn't seem that useful. Nice thick pair of eye protection, though.

But I guess it's mostly a problem with the tooling not being there. There could be made more special applications helping you to assemble a box, for instance, telling you exactly what to do and even live feedback. I do balk on not looking directly at the power tools while using them, though.

On an aside, living in a small apartment it's a bit of a hassle every time I want to do some wood working as I spend more time cleaning dust of everything after than actually working, which of course makes the hurdle of sitting down and doing my projects greater than it needs to. Like, I only do it a day where I can work 4-5 hours and then clean, as it's not worth it to do all the cleaning for 30 minutes of progress an afternoon.

But to fix this (I mostly do wood carving with a dremel, sanding etc) I built a "glove box" this weekend. Holes for my arms with elastic band sewn into some fabric so it fits snugly. Then a computer fan connected to a random vacuum filter creates a negative pressure so no wood dust escapes and instead falls to the bottom or into the filter. Also doubles as a storage unit for my tools when not in use. https://imgur.com/a/JhdrOft

No, they're using that and RTO as an excuse for layoffs. They layoffs were coming inevitably from ZIRP going away. If you were a CEO and looking at that balance sheet would you tell investors "we need to shed workforce because we can't be profitable" or "we can shed workforce because we're cutting edge". Stop listening to CEOs whose literal job it is to make their company look good under any and all circumstances and start looking at SEC filing numbers.
No one doubts his abilities, and reasonable people are grateful for his work with DOGE and support of free speech. Unfortunately, this platform has become an echo chamber for mainstream media, merely repeating news and links from sources like verge/bbc/politico etc. This is just a bias in the user groups. Still, we should hopefully put politics aside and focus on more tech related subject in this website :)
Uhhh yes.

Age 2: Can point to their own body parts; hold something in one hand while doing something with the other hand

Age 4: Changes behavior based on where you are; can draw a person with more than 3 distinct body parts

There's a huuuge amount of learning that happens through this period. Your brain is learning things like 3-dimensional space, temperatures exist and I don't like some of them, I-have-two-arms, things fall when dropped, I must engage my big toe to stay upright while walking, other people appear to have feelings, other people appear to believe that I appear to have feelings.

And in any case, the difference between 2 and 4 is only relevant to the question of whether a 4 year old can remember being 2, not what this article is about, which is adults not remembering being <4.

Pretty good considering there are laws around data privacy and government institutions that enforce them. Are they perfect? Of course not, but it sure is better than no laws to protect my personal data.
How to create LLM-driven tiny gnome robots?
You know, like in the movie "The Borrowers". Since we have human-sized bipedals now, it shouldn't be impossible to create miniture robots that would act like living beings, right?

It would be amazing to have a small family of electric gnomes living with you. Doll house and everything. Kind of like real life Sims.

So realistically, how complex would it be to scale it all down to five, seven inches? Any startups working on this?

I'm fairly certain the CDN and browser would be unaware of the source of the image/file being hosted on the CDN. There would be no links to follow.
More clicking, please. OP mentions different versions, but you can’t get to them from one another (at least on mobile). The hyperlink is the aesthetic of www. If you don’t have them, then it should be evident why not. Leaves me scratching me head.
That would help people use Linux, but I'm not sure it would make a difference in maintainer bus factor. If I only buy hardware from vendors that already have Linux support then my driver needs are presumably met for me, no? I'm unlikely to write drivers for hardware I don't even own.
correct "16bit segment:offset" reversing is such a huge time consumer - linear 32bit DOS code is more or less easy in comparison
No, I didn't throw that, though now that you say that, I certainly believe people using Rust care on avg more about speed.

Your experience is a singular event not representing the average.

My original opinion was that people should use more Rust to write more efficient software, because it's beneficial to humanity.

At least in the current US political climate, and also generally over the past ~20 years at least, these are almost exclusively left-wing goals:

- The system must account for diverse cultures, languages, and socioeconomic conditions

- [Establish global standards for environmental protection, enforced through] [...] regional cooperation.

- ensuring equitable opportunities

The right is against any sort of intentional accounting for diversity, against environmental regulation, and against any sort of regulation to ensure equity.

The only one I could maybe see as being right-wing is protecting individual liberties, but there again the modern right falls short when it comes to women’s healthcare and reproductive rights.

But I’d certainly appreciate more of those perspectives across the political spectrum.
TBH I've recently felt like that for ~70% of 'top-level replies' in HN, which has slowly pushed me to other mediums (mastodon and discord).

Could just be that the AI 'boom' brought a less programming-focused crowd into the site and those people lack the vocabulary that is constantly used here, who knows.
I’ll never forget the day my laptop Wi-Fi worked on Linux. I was a teenager and it was my first machine and I’d been dying to Ubuntu to break free from the grasp of Windows 7.

Wi-Fi was a dealbreaker because it was a laptop and it was my only machine. I remember one day booting in the latest live CD that Canonical had sent (way back when you could get them delivered by post), switch on my laptop and seeing those SSIDs appear.

It honestly felt like magic, and I’ll never forget it. Something as mundane as working WiFi drivers on a basic spec Vaio quite literally changed my life, by allowing me to run Linux natively with a web connection. That opened many doors to me later in life.

Forever grateful for that work.
Well it means that you can use the language if you are willing to rewrite some of your code from time to time because we don't guarantee backwards compatibility between updates. That's the nature of a work in progress project.

It's possible to grow an economy by trillions of real value without any actor being able to extract that as a profit or it even showing up in the books as money.

Consider that Wikipedia is much bigger than Encyclopedia Britanica, but because it is given away to everyone for free, it is not counted as E.B.'s max sale price ($2900 in 1989?) times the world's internet connected population (5.6e9?) — $16 trillion.

AI, regardless of value, are priced at the marginal cost to reproduce weights or run inference depending on which you care about.

But I do mean "reproduce" not "invent" — it doesn't matter if DeepSeek's "a few million" was only possible because they benefited from published research, it just matters that they could.

And if the hardware is the bottleneck for inference, that profit goes to the hardware manufacturer, not to the top ten companies who made models.
> ultimately replaces all intellectual and physical labor for the rest of time

Sounds incredibly valuable, but in reality collapses into Butlerian Jihad fairly quickly when you have 90% unemployment.

Edit: if the claims are true, then this will be far more destabilizing than social media. What do elections mean when the AI-guided political parties are putting out AI press releases for the AI press summaries, which voters have read out to them through their AI? What happens when >50% of the voters ask the AI who they should vote for? You end up with an AI dictatorship where the levers of discontent are fake.
Your experience matches mine.
I'm willing to bet $100 that a human consumes at least 10x times energy than a latest LLama (picking the open source model so that it can be easily verified) to produce two pages of text. All of this "AI is destroying the environment and consuming too much power" is about total consumption, both training and inference. Inference itself is cheap and green.
It's not a con.

It's the frontier. The only new really big one we know.

It already solved real issues, see alphafold and it will continue until we hit a ceiling.

The money throwing thing is a zeitgeist issue: we have this money and people don't know what to do with it.

But yes ml is now the thing.

And no it was very very far away speaking to a machine and the machine feeling smart. If you can't see this breakthrough as what it is, you will never be excited for any new invention.

> There are just more regulations to comply with before a release.

If you do collect personal data and do funky stuff with it.

Another approach would be to not collect that personal data until you have the right process in place, and basically be regulation-compatible out-of-the-door on day one.
It’s also a good analogy for the right people doing the right thing at the right time. The builders, had they done their job properly, could have it done and dusted in a matter of minutes.

Language has always been a push and pull between evolving (descriptivist) and correct (prescriptivist) usage. Neither side is going anywhere.
We often see semantic drift over a long period of time. It's just that the overarching topic of AI is being played significantly faster than what we would normally have observed in other fields.
You lose a lot of nuance but that’s actually a pretty good explanation because it reveals the obvious parallels to nearly every mainstream religion throughout history.

My mistake, actually. I was trying to recall "Change my mind!", and ended up with that instead. It was meant as a tongue-in-cheek challenge - I'd be more than happy to hear evidence of why I'm wrong and that there's a more abstract latent space being used in these models, not just something more akin to an elaborated parse tree.

To clarify:

1) I'm guessing that there really isn't a highly abstract latent space being represented by transformer embeddings, and it's really more along the lines of the input token embeddings just getting iteratively augmented/tagged ("transformed") with additonal grammatical and semantic information as they pass through each layer. I'm aware that there are some superposed representations, per Anthropic's interpretability research, but it seems this doesn't need to be anything more than being tagged with multiple alternate semantic/predictive pattern indentifiers.

2) I'd reserve the label "thinking" for what's being called reasoning/planning in these models, which I'd characterize as multi-step what-if prediction, with verification and backtracking where needed. Effectively a tree search of sorts (different branches of reasoning being explored), even if implemented in O1/R1 "linear" fashion. I agree that this is effectively close to what we're doing too, except of course we're a lot more capable and can explore and learn things during the reasoning process if we reach an impasse.
Not in Canada, either :(
At this point it’s probably WSL2 only, which is sad.

At least in Colorado, living in the mountains was so you could live a little more freely. I will say living in a large city certainly has different freedoms. It’s far easier to find your people for example.

The game has an alpha version appropriately named save_breaker that gets regular if not daily updates. Some of the later puzzles are completely different, the second architecture has been replaced with a more advanced one that includes pipelining, and some new puzzles are still in the works. The new assembler is much more modular and many of the components have changed shape, with some having been removed or combined. The author plans to release it as v1 when stable but who knows when that will be. Breaking changes still occur occasionally.
Fun! I'll try it out, being a scientist with some LLM.
X now blocks Signal contact links, flags them as malicious
Where is this defined? I'll wait for your reponse.
I'd go out on a limb and say I think probably LLMs made the general population aware of how the "general voice" feels/looks/reads like.

So rather than a lot of people adopting to write like how a LLM writes, the LLM writes as an average of how people been writing on the internet for a long time. So now when you start to recognize how "LLM prose" reads (which I'd say is "Internet General Prose"), you start to recognize how many people are writing in that style already.
I would like to know, what are some things that you could use this for?

This seems like a very powerful dataset.

This is something that I am a huge fan of, particularly from a latency & performance perspective. NVMe + SQLite is a hell of a package deal. If you just need to go as fast as possible no matter what, this is a great place to start. At the highest end the hosted solutions can outpace SQLite but it's like that meme [0].

That said, I'm working on a new contract/project that is somewhat antagonistic to the idea of using SQLite on the server. The biggest reasons are due to employees needing direct (transactional) access to the live data and the ability to do online schema changes.

There are ways to force this with additional tools, but I'm finding that just paying for MSSQL provides a lot of uplift on this particular problem. The possibility that other employees already have experience with tools like SSMS should not be overlooked when making technology decisions. People are generally the biggest bottleneck in any business.
