Not unrelated - OneNote 'copy text from image' has started producing lots of incorrect OCR results, but they're all non-words.

For example, from a clear image of a printed page (in a standard font), it will give me 'cornprising' instead of 'comprising'; 'niatter' instead of 'matter'. Excepting the spell-check underline they'd be hard to spot as with relatively tight kerning all the errors look like the originals.

I'm surprised as 1) I've not had these sorts of errors before, 2) they're not words, and words must be heavily weighted for in the OCR engine (I'd have thought).

I think the downside is that you don't just lose muscle in your legs and core, but rather you lose muscle mass all over. Yes, this is the expected result of calorie restriction but the issue is that when people lose a lot of weight without taking action to build and maintain muscle the amount of muscle loss they experience can cause other problems. Someone relying on a GLP-1 drug is often someone who isn't very active at all.

> For almost all goods, there are other German online retailers that are as convenient, for the same or better prices

My experience is totally opposite. I use Idealo to compare different prices for any purchase over €50, and 90% of the time it shows that Amazon has the best offer.

The seller may not always be Amazon, often it's someone else, but if something goes wrong I'd rather deal with Amazon's 24/7 support than a small shop. Amazon's support has helped me resolve my issues in just 5 minutes or less multiple times, and with small shops — I encountered a few of them that only reply to one email per week, they simply aren't competitive.

I don't know why (and am curious) but this particularly odd question phrasing seems to happen a lot among Indian immigrants I've met in America. Maybe it's considered grammatically correct in India or something?
That money essentially gets funneled back to the rich in a way where they grow in power consistently and the government loses a little power each time.

The richer the rich are the more influence they have over the government and the more they are able to obtain government funds. It’s a vicious cycle. They need to be taxed or else we all suffer.

The fewer assets the government has the less it can do with the same amount of money, IE if it’s renting a building from a rich person as opposed to owning it. An example is:

Elon just said to privatize the USPS and Amtrak. If he accomplishes that then it would essentially make the government less rich in assets and the rich richer, it will increase the expenses of using those things for the government and increase the power of the wealthy. Again, means the government can accomplish less with the same amount of $$$.

Regarding simply stringing long wire, if you have a huge, flat land area and don't mind overhead wires, erect a rhombic antenna on dedicated poles for extremely high gain but with a few downsides worth reading about, such as the sheer size needed for shortwave.

Both of those stores price match Amazon unless the item is not fulfilled by them (and could be counterfeit)

It also depends on the items you're buying. Household goods, like laundry detergent and deodorant, are usually more expensive on Amazon, sometimes by a wide margin.

> Without proper reasoning you can get some "heuristic"

Right, but the question is whether this is good enough. And what counts as "proper". A lot of what we call proper reasoning is still quite informal, and even mathematics is usually not formal enough to be converted directly into a formal language like Coq.

So this is a deep question: is talking reasoning? Humans talk (out loud, or in their heads). Are they then reasoning? Sure, some of what happens internally is not just self-talk, but the thought experiment goes: if the problem is not completely ineffable, then (a bit like Borges' library) there is some 1000-word text which is the best possible reasoned, witty, English-language 1000-word solution to the problem. In principle, an LLM can generate that.

If your goal is a reductio, ie my statement must be false since it implies models should write code for every problem - then I disagree, because while the ability to solve these problems might be a requirement to be deemed "an intelligence", nonetheless many other problems which require an intelligence don't require the ability to solve these problems.
> Anchors are just pointers.

Yes. And it leads to exploits or errors. The dumber the serialization format, the better. JSON has thrived without these mis-features. And most stuff I've seen in the wild doesn't use the exotic features anyway.

The format user should worry about converting nodes to references, and complex keys are something few users ask for.

> You cited them as examples of tasks that would be difficult to automate.

Yes because they are. I specifically gave an example where a machine exists but it's impossible to use for the real world, and an example where economics generally prevent adoption. That gets to my whole point.

I didn't make the claim that it didn't happen.

I feel like you're willfully ignoring what I'm saying. These things are hard and rolling them out universally often doesn't work because it is either impractical or economically infeasible to automate things or you run up against regulatory/cultural/material issues. The best we can do is piecemeal progress where incentives align.
A proposed solution from the article:

> Use "if (condition()) { ifBlock(); } if (!condition()) { elseBlock(); }" -- assuming that ifBlock() can't possibly change the result of condition().

What?? That seems terrible to me - just asking for `condition` to be updated to be modifiable by `ifBlock`, or for some completely undebuggable race condition to occur.

My team has an ongoing style war about guard clauses:

if foo:
bar()
baz()

vs

if foo:
bar()
else:
baz()

Consensus seems to favor the first option but I prefer the second because it helps me keep in mind the conditions that lead me to `baz()`. Otherwise I have to scan up the whole function to figure out the restriction `!foo`.

there's 5 buttons, and the code is four of those 5 in an arbitrary order. at least to my memory. it could have been 5 buttons in an arbitrary order. It's been 20 years!

5 pick 4 = 120, so that's an upper bound for my recollection. I remember it being fewer than that, but the original "paper" was a sheet of graph paper that had been scanned, i just transcribed it to my palm pilot.

oh. It isn't 120 * 4 keypresses. Because the thing that decided if the code was valid didn't have start/stop/reset states, so 1234523413452 would trigger 1234, 2345, 3452, 4523, 5234, 2341, 3413, 4134, 1345, and 3452. that would take "40 keypresses" in the OP "game", whereas it only takes 13 keypresses on these code pads.

so the paper was "an" shortest permutation that covered every possible combination.

edit: python gave a 625 keypress answer, i replied to a sibling with the full list of numbers.

Congress needs to be responsible for restructuring the government. Even if you support what President Trump is doing, it'll all be reversed on day 1 of the next Democratic administration. Avoiding this kind of yoyoing every four years is one of the reasons the Founding Fathers made all proposed major changes to the government receive public debate and approval at least five times (House+Senate committee then House+Senate floor then president).
It's a 7B model. So while the problem is not advanced the model is far from it too.
> but rather you lose muscle mass all over.

Well, you lose weight all over. You lose fat in your arms and your shoulders don't need to be quite as strong. You lose weight on your face and your neck muscles don't need to be quite as strong. You lose more in your legs, but you're supposed to lose muscle mass all over.

> Someone relying on a GLP-1 drug is often someone who isn't very active at all.

Sure, but that's a completely separate issue. It doesn't have anything to do with weight loss. Being in good strong physical shape is great, but nobody should expect weight loss to magically result in strength. That's like thinking you can stop going to the gym but won't lose any of the muscle you'd previously built up. It's got nothing to do with weight loss though. It's got to do with the fact that you're not working out.

A few libertarians wanted to free humans from greedy banks and govts. But suddenly they have discovered that banks and govts are a feature, not a problem. Fully trustless society is a hellish dystopia, of the likes portrayed in the sci-fi books.

Himalaya: CLI to Manage Emails - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42366025 - Dec 2024 (97 comments)
Welcome to the fascinating world of academic code!
Common take but the author makes it interesting (Tim Bray was an L8 distinguished engineer at Amazon who, IIRC, contributed to the XML spec).

I canceled my Prime and Subscribe and Save in 2023. I still order from Amazon from time to time, but they are a merchant of last resort for me now.
It should be obvious. There are plenty of thing we can build robots to do, but we don't because its wildly more expensive than we can sell the resulting product for. We can mostly automate construction but it turns out the land acquisition dominates costs, installation still ends up being sloppy and human, building codes are different everywhere, and people want a different kind of dwelling than what prefab is suited for at the moment.
Standard PC experience these days. The very high end dell precision are just as bad. Getting an hour of battery life doing basic tasks after only 9 months.

Using a 2021 MBP M1 Pro MBP instead of the $3000 turd my outfit said I needed to use. It’s faster and doesn’t fuck up.
I don’t know if that would have helped here, if memory serves me right:

1. The copy was needed initially
2. This structure wasn’t as heavy back then

… over time the code evolved so it became heavy and the copy became unnecessary. That’s harder to find without profiling to guide things
My first MS OS was DOS 2.x (forgot the exact point release...). I remember going to Costco as a kid and getting excited whenever a new version of DOS, and later Windows came out because each and every one of them was a true upgrade in every sense of the word. They built things for the users and it showed. I even got to beta test Windows 95 and was blown away when it came out. The last good OS MS released was Windows XP. After that the trend was clear. They were no-longer building stuff for users and instead were building for companies to take advantage of users. MS has completely lost my trust and I doubt they will ever get it back.
The whole market is one big price discrimination where you spend time to avoid getting ripped off by shameless decoy prices. I haven't noticed Amazon being routinely less for any category. It is generally more for household items, but that still isn't a hard rule. If you're not shopping around, you've already lost - most other large retailers have free shipping as well, and frankly it's often quicker than Amazon's slow spiteful shipping.

Really I want some user-representing local-first software that searches many stores with one query. Of course these sites fight tooth and nail to make that comparison harder (the main point of captchas). Still maybe we'll get there as the surveillance industry enters its screw-turning extractive phase.

As for (sub)Prime, it still boggles my mind that people pay for it as an ongoing subscription. I activate the free trials when they're conducive to some other goal (eg fixing/making something that's going to require a bunch of iterated rounds of parts). Between my account, my partner's account, and my "business" account (more price discrimination, hooray!), I'd say there's a free trial more than half the time. And the once or twice a year I need something quick and don't have a trial, there's always the $2 for one week option.

(Also, I'm sure it's been mentioned elsewhere in this thread - one of the "economic blackout" flyers has March 7-14 as Amazon-specific boycott. I don't think this kind of thing is going to move the needle on overall revenue any time soon, but rather it's about sending some kind of message to the neofascists and those who readily support them. Frankly we need many more of these days. And if that seems inconvenient, look at it as practice for when we're back to full blown Trumponomics with empty store shelves everywhere)
