I recently thought a student who "always was bad at math" how to use it to make his marionette puppet servo controlled. On the way we encountered a lot of scaling ranges, working with angles, trigonometric functions for motion synthesis, all kinds of complex remappings with saturation functions, random walks, linear interpolation functions and so on.

He was absolutely stunned and asked me why mathematics wasn't thought that way all the time. Instead of a bunch of things he had to do, he came to see it as a toolbox with things you can use.

And I myself wonder why the hell my maths teachers failed at making this easier as well. I distinctly remember my math teacher wbo failed to answer me when I asked after months of solving integrals why we need those. I had to figure that out myself, pre-internet.

The world is going to become stupider because it’s easier. This will be most dramatic for the youth in both school learning as well as in the field. Unfortunately I don’t realistically see another path in any reasonable time unless the world takes a radical turn away from AI (extremely unlikely).

Why not just copy your last env into the next dir? If you need to change any of the package versions, or add something specific, you can do that without risking any breakages in your last project(s). From what I understand uv has a global package cache so the disk usage shouldn't be crazy.

> Do you think Go is "moving up" (away from systems prog) or is Java "moving down"?

I haven't been keeping score, but I've read other articles like this one claiming Go as an enterprise language alternative to Java. Not much concerning Java as a systems language, but that makes good sense. I see Go v. C/Rust, not Go v. Java/Kotlin. Just my take.
Just want to second this. I was getting migraines every 2 weeks (visual auras, thumping headache for 3-6 hours etc) mainly triggered by stress & lack of sleep as far as I could tell. Started taking Vitamin B and I haven't had a migraine since - for over a year).

There is research to back this up as well:
- https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33779525/
- Conclusion: Vitamin B2 400 mg/day significantly reduced the duration, frequency, and pain score of migraine attacks.

I’m not a chemist, but:

As I understand it, the biggest source of lead that gets inside people is paint, especially where windows rub against it. And sometimes lead paint has been painted over but can still become airborne when abraded. I would be surprised if these tests can detect it.

Get an XRF test instead — this will quantify the amount of lead at or even under the surface. You can do this by getting a lead testing contractor to come over, and a friendly one will test as many spots as you like in a single visit. Or I suppose you could try to buy the machine, but it isn’t cheap.

In your opinion, what's the key difference that makes AI lead to world becoming stupider compared to other technologies that lead to more widespread knowledge, such as writing, book printing, calculators, computers and Internet?
This entire stack also now exists for arrays as well as for tabular data. It's still S3 for storage, but Zarr instead of parquet, Icechunk instead of Iceberg, and Xarray for queries in python.
These kinds of responses are my favorite dark pattern rhetorical device, because you can assert literally _anything_ in this format and almost nobody will refute you, because the cost of refuting bullshit is 100x the cost of producing it.

Anyways, here goes.

1. Guido uses Copilot like I do - as a StackOverflow replacement to write the dumb boilerplate code. A much less flattering quote is "It doesn't save me much thinking, but [it helps] because I'm a poor typist". Also it's literally a minute or two of a three hour podcast.

2. A lot of code is autogenerated lol. Again, it's all the boring boilerplate stuff.

3. The cofounder of OpenAI is a biased source lol

4. He's an AI researcher, of course he runs that stuff.

5. Again, similar to Guido. He's using it for the boilerplate. Nothing wrong with enjoying using it as a toy, as he is here. But he's not doing serious work with it.

There's no virtue in hyping this stuff like a HODL bitcoin cultist.
> The US launching random and unprovoked invasion or destabilising their neighbours is normal behaviour.

It is not. In which parallel reality do you live where this is normal behavior?

> Look at the Afghanistan/Iraq wars for example;

Are you referring the multi-nation coalitions that built a consensus on military intervention?

Heck, the first gulf war was a coalition of 42 countries which follow a UN resolution after the Iraqui regime invaded a neighboring country. Is this your term of comparison?

And what are you talking about proxy war? Russia, much like Iraq, is trying to annex a neighboring country. If anything, the response is timid.

> If Canada or whoever think they're immune to that because ...

What the hell are you even talking about? Are you comparing Canada with Saddam Usein's Iraq? Are there UN resolutions targeting the Canadian government? What can possibly go through anyone's mind to even suggest there are parallels?

Are you trolling?
I’ve been working with serverless architectures and recently explored SST v3. This guide demonstrates how to build a serverless API that stores JSON data in DynamoDB, processes new entries via DynamoDB streams, and sends email notifications all without managing CloudFormation stacks. The integration of SST v3 with Pulumi and Terraform offers faster deployments and multi cloud support, which I found particularly beneficial. I hope this tutorial proves helpful to others navigating similar challenges.
Your last statement hints at a big consideration: accountability. One lawyer on a formerly 15 lawyer staff is accountable for 15 lawyers worth of potential mistakes, and we know that “but the AI did it!” doesn’t hold water in law.
We could fix it all with a single law: All federally funded research papers must be published with full open access.

The issue is the models can mostly only access abstracts (same as the majority of humans!) and thus we are back to the dark ages where knowledge is hoarded by the aristocrats in their ivory towers of academia.
And they’re usually right.
smart. although, i guess that pushes the locking from selecting queue entries to making sure that objects are placed into exactly 1 batch. curious if you ran into any bottlenecks there?

DI frameworks save you from writing trivial code, and it masks dependency insanity. This is why I don't use it even in Java. If the codebase gets to the point where a DI framework is really useful then you've fucked yourself over.
Because all your writing is being done for you. All your homework is done for you. You go to start coding as an engineer, you just copy/paste from an AI until it runs. No need to think, no need to try to figure it out for yourself, no need to learn anything.
Yes, they probably all do that. Anthropic primised to pay the winner that broke all their protections. That way they get tens of thousands of free workers trying to get the money. Much cheaper than $300k engineers.

Ok. A better, less ephemeral link is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scope_resolution_operator#PHP .

'T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM' is the PHP parser's name for the '::' double-colon/scope-resolution-operator token; it means 'T_DOUBLE_COLON' in Hebrew, hence related parser error messages mean "Unexpected double-colon/scope-resolution-operator found". There was some controversy in the PHP community in 2013 about keeping the non-English naming as it was widely considered confusing to users.
Upsetting... but surely not surprising? Europe and the previous administration were making existential threats, and the new guy offered to either pile on or make it all go away... for a price.

* Facebook was offered the option of either cutting their EU profits to zero or facing equivalent fines.

* Very Serious People were having Very Serious Discussions about whether Google should be allowed to run auctions for ad space on their own home page. At the same time, the two sides of the Atlantic cannot agree whether to make the web a Chrome monopoly or to only allow Google offer its services through 3rd party platforms controlled by competitors.

* Apple's whole brand proposition is being actively undermined. Apparently their monopolistic 30% market share does not demonstrate that consumers want a choice of something different from the competition (and legislators know consumers better than they do themselves).

* Amazon is somehow subject to expensive-to-comply-with restrictions, yet none of their similar-size in-market competitors are. Because reasons.

Surely it was predictable that they would all support a politician who offers to deliver them from regulations that not just limit profit but actively erode ongoing viability of the business, no? I guess you could call it the "Brussels effect".
They probably said the same thing when the printing press came out. “How can you really know the book if you didn’t copy it down yourself during a reading?” But the printing press won out in the end.
We know the limitations of current LLM AI. I didn't read the article. Is there anything in these "dangers" that isn't currently known, mainly hallucination related?

All these anti LLM articles are starting to become as tiresome as the pro LLM ones.
The models that exist right now would still be considered alpha LLMs. Even a half decent video game takes longer to make than the time since GPT3.5 launched.

If they still are at this level in 2-3 years, then yeah, it will likely cause a bunch of bad downstream effects. But at least recognize that it is still a few years too early to judge.
One solution for people who don't have driveways or garages is that the cars drive themselves to fast chargers. This can be done while people are at work, or sleeping etc.

They would probably have to be wireless/inductive charging, which is very efficient with correct positioning (which can be achieved using RF technology for positioning - similar to AirTags).

I think there was (maybe still possible?) a real missed opportunity to pitch green energy in a national security or America First way. I don’t think the average republican voter wants us to be as tied to OPEC the way we are.

I set up a "sandbox" project as an early step of setting up a new PC.

Sadly for certain types of projects like GIS, ML, scientific computing, the dependencies tend to be mutually incompatible and I've learned the hard way to set up new projects for each separate task when using those packages. `uv init; uv add <dependencies>` is a small amount of work to avoid the headaches of Torch etc.
Someone asked them why they dropped SMS a few years back and got a detailed reply: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33258684

The most compelling bit here for me is RCS. Lots of devices will auto upgrade an SMS chat to RCS if they think that both ends support it.

Signal cannot support RCS (there's no API) so you'd end up with a situation where someone uses signal to send an SMS, the recipient device then replies over RCS and signal never gets the reply. Not great for usability.
Not necessarily. If you assume an ideal ruler and compass, it‘s pretty easy to construct the square root of any number which means that you can easily put a dot on that number line which is provably not a rational number. There is the question of whether continuity actually exists (are time and space quantized like matter and energy or are they continuous? this is currently unknown) and the fact that your paper and the line on it are composed of discrete molecules. But if the real numbers are, in fact, real, then the probability that your dot is at a rational point is actually 0 since while the number of rationals in [0,1] is infinite, it’s only countably infinite and the number of irrationals in [0,1] is uncountably infinite meaning |ℚ|/|ℝ\ℚ|=0.

However, you all should publish pricing before launching, and forcing me to book a call with you to use it is a nonstarter for me.

I don't want to get tied to this tool and then be charged for it in some weird way; give me your v0 pricing so that I can pay for it in a transparent way. As a fellow founder, I think you also know how little time I have for calls to check out demos for tools. So, just let me sign up and give it a spin.

Maybe there’s a particular cognitive profile that benefits most from LLM chat bots? I’ve tried multiple times to realize this force multiplier in my life for everything from day-to-day stuff to picking up new things, using the latest paid bots with the best models, and I’ve persistently found them to be awkward, inaccurate, difficult to pin down into giving useful info rather than a bunch of non-committal pablum without hallucinations, etc etc etc
I get a migraine with aura about once every 6 months. It can last between a few minutes to several hours. When this happens, part of my field of vision disappears randomly and it becomes difficult to focus on anything or read. Then after the aura, I get a bad headache.

Sometimes, if I start to feel sensitive to light (a sign that I'm about to have a migraine aura), I take a paracetamol and it prevents it completely. The trick for me is to catch it early and notice the signs. My migraines seem to correlate with my stress levels, too much thinking and/or insufficient sleep.
The printing press takes your ideas that you already wrote and increases distribution. Deep research is writing the text for you. That’s completely different.

Thanks, I’m familiar with WizTree but to the best of knowledge it’s meant more to find what’s taking space, rather than navigating between folders. I’m not sure how practical it would be as a replacement of file explorer, for example I think it defaults to mapping out the whole drive (rather than a specific folder). But thanks anyway for the suggestion!

You can get infinitely many of such perplexing puzzles when you bring in infinity into our logic framework. The existence of these nonsensical puzzles prove that infinite doesn't fit into our logical framework, and one can get any number of astounding and amusing results they want, when you mix common mathematical logic and infinite.

Yeah. If it's been ported to 64-bit now they've probably dealt with the x86 assembly as well.
This has nothing to do with "democracy" in any way. This is the equivalent of a CEO publishing a memo telling employees how to interpret things that happen outside of the company (e.g., new laws, social trends, etc.) It's the CEO's job to align their workforce to have the same interpretation of information. Federal judges can still rule on issues brought before them but the judges have to provide Constitutional- or precedent-related rulings.

Why are Americans acting so surprised that the President has this authority? That is his job, as it was for all presidents before him. This executive order is saying that the "employees under the CEO" do not have the authority to usurp the "CEO's" interpretations of law. Checks and balances still apply, of course; Congress can intervene if the President is acting in ways that Congress doesn't like. That's what impeachment is for--and impeachment is a process regardless of whether the President is issuing "illegal" executive orders or doing something else like what Nixon did.

The process works; blame Congress for not holding the President accountable in the ways outlined by the Constitution.
It's much easier if we're talking about a new company. IMO companies formed after the pandemic have a much easier job of figuring this out. You can set expectations from the beginning about which teams are remote and which are not. Some teams should be remote. I know of a hybrid company that has always had SREs be remote. They operate a global business and want people covering all timezones.

As for getting rug-pulled: that possibility exists with any management decision. You could always get an asshole boss, the company could get sold, etc. Not to fully discredit your point, but it wouldn't be my biggest concern as an employee.
There are more structures in non-computable numbers. As an example, a non-computable number could be "definable", i.e. you can describe it. For example, a real number the nth digit in the binary representation of which equals to whether the nth Turing machine halts.

Since the set of all English sentences is countable, whereas there are uncountably many real numbers, it follows that there must be numbers that are NOT even definable.

Think about that.
Thank you, that’s a nice photo and shows something very close to what I’m thinking about! (Albeit hopefully a little less barebones haha)

Could you share the name of the software it is/was, or perhaps a link?
In the US, crime basically kept increasing until the 1990s and have been on a downward trend ever since. If you've fallen for the modern crime panic, it's completely manufactured. Look at any graph that goes back 40+ years and then tell me what the trend is.

The reason for this is hotly debated.

One theory is that it coincides with being 18 years or so after abortion was legalized [1]. The argument is that not forcing people to be parents who don't want to be and aren't equipped to be as well as this skewing to lower socioeconomic status. The link between poverty and crime has been well-established going back to Ancient Greece. In some ways, this is an uncomfortable argument because it's basically eugenics. In support of this, abortion access varied state-to-state by up to several years and the trends tend to follow that.

But this is a US-specific argument and I believe the trend was present in other countries.

The second big argument is removing lead from gasoline (in particular, but also water because of lead pipes) [2].

I really wonder what societal problems and public health incidents in the future will come down to micro-plastics.

Who is this actually for? It seems like most people who need private security need it on an ongoing basis, not just for a one-off thing. Even if the need arises suddenly (i.e. a stalker starts threatening a celebrity), it still seems like someone who needs that would have it arranged via their management / assistant, and wouldn't have any need (or desire) to arrange it themselves.

I actually can see some situations where on-demand private security would be useful. Say you need to retrieve your belongings from your abusive ex-partner's place (and imagine you're on the lease/deed so you have the right to enter without their permission) - having an escort could be useful if the person is violent.

However... situations like that don't seem to be what this app is going for?
