- Are you assuming that all these people also have employment income on top of their UBI? Or only UBI? The premise upthread seemed to be UBI in response to mass unemployment caused by automation. Are you sure renters will still have more money in their pockets, even with UBI?

- If they don't have employment, and incomes are $0, then in the absence of UBI, would rent also drop to $0? If not, then I think we're better off with UBI.

- These higher prices for rent and groceries seem like strong incentives for competition. Maybe we can't expect that in NIMBY San Francisco, but without a jobs market, the only attraction to live there is the weather. Why not move somewhere cheaper?
> I could make plausible sounding recordings that did not reflect reality by, for example, cutting recordings up with freeware like Audacity, or even using a consumer level double tapedeck before that.

Sure, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hahn managed to get quite a bit of nuclear material.

I've updated it to include binary assets on the releases :)
I've been using phi4 a lot, in most cases to process incoming transcripts of recordings. based on keywords or keyphrases, these transcripts get sent with a custom prompt, or the prompt is in the transcript itself.

I'd say it's suprisingly good at exacting reminders and todos from natural language into json 'action objects', or turning what is essentially a run-on sentence of a transcript into a markdown formatted text.

What I've found most fun to play with is to get it to extract metadata like an 'anxiety score' and tags.

Overall, it's clearly 'dumber' than the hosted big models, and in my case I have to deal with a small context window. In general my 'vibe' is that I have to be clearer and more explicit, and it's usually better to just do multiple passes over the same text with very targeted questions.

Oh, and in my case I definitely notice my laptop screeching to a halt when it's processing a big transcript, but in my case I can specifically delay those jobs to a time where I'm not at my computer.
BlizzCon Returns in 2026
Hi, one of the other devs here. As the poster below pointed out what you're missing is that in this case we know that an eigendecomposition or PCA will be useful. However if you're working on matrix decomposition algorithms like us, or if you're trying to design new forms of summary matrices because a covariance matrix isn't informative for your type of data then these types of visualizations are useful. We broadly work on designing new forms of matrix decomposition algorithms so it's very useful to look at the matrices and then try to determine what types of decompositions we want to do.
Founders - what would the ideal accelerator (or call it what you like) look like today?

Truly comedic moments from my work history. I was once the only London-based employee on a project principally done in Mumbai and Chicago. I’m pretty sure the principal reason I was on the project was I was the only person who understood everyone’s accents.

Anyone know the firmware version I should hope to see on mine (I have this exact AX21 router, just purchased like five months ago, FML)? It says no updates. 1.1.1 Build 20240822 Rel. 44461

I game very little these days, but have run mumble, ventrillo and teamspeak in the past and the problem was always the friction in onboarding people onto them, you’d have to exchange host, port, password at best, or worse, explain how to download, install and use.

Discord can run from a browser, making onboarding super easy. The installable app being in Electron makes for minimal (if any) difference between it and the website.

In summary, running in the web browser helps a lot, and Electron makes it very easy for them to keep the browser version first class.

As an added bonus, they can support Linux, Windows and macOS equally well.

I would say it helps as without Electron, serving all the above with equal feature parity just would have been too expensive or slow and perhaps it just wouldn’t have been as frictionless for all types of new users like it is.
No, what you posted was flamebait: a rant against “academics” (all of them?) presented without evidence by a brand new account. This is just calling it out.
It had been very explicitly designed with this goal. The idea was to make a simpler Java which is as easy as possible to deploy and as fast as possible to commute and by these measures is a resounding success.

Well-optimized JS isn't the only point of operation here. There's a LOT of exchange, parsing and processing that interacts with the File System and the JS engine itself. It isn't just a matter of loading a JS library and letting it do its thing. Every call that crosses the boundaries from JS runtime to the underlying host environment has a cost. This is multiplied across potentially many thousands of files.

Just going from ESLint to Biome is more than a 10x improvement... it's not just 1.5x because it's not just the runtime logic at play for build tools.

Sure, that's all true. It does limit Go's memory safety guarantees. However, I still believe that just because Java and other languages can give better guarantees around the blast radius of concurrency bugs does not mean that Go's definition of memory safety is invalid. I believe you can justifiably call Go memory-safe with unsafe concurrency. This may give people the wrong idea about where exactly Go fits in on the spectrum of "safe" coding (since, like you mentioned, some languages have unsafe concurrency that is still safer,) but it's not like it's that far off.

On the other hand, though, in practice, I've wound up using Go in production quite a lot, and these bugs are excessively rare. And I don't mean concurrency bugs: Go's concurrency facilities kind of suck, so those are certainly not excessively rare, even if they're less common than I would have expected. However... not all Go concurrency bugs can possibly segfault. I'd argue most of them can't, at least not on most common platforms.

So how severely you treat this lapse is going to come down to taste. I see the appeal of Rust's iron-clad guarantees around limiting the blast radius, but of course everything comes with limitations. I believe that any discussion about the limitations of guarantees like these should have some emphasis on the real impact. e.g. It's easy enough to see that the issues with memory management in C and C++ are serious based on the security track record of programs written in C and C++, I think we're still yet to fully understand how much of an impact Go's lack of safe concurrency will impact Go software in the long run.
Yeah, after reading the NYT article[0], I'll amend my earlier statement "since there's no real evidence that's what happened," since that is some pretty strong evidence that something happened (albeit more complicated than simply "her poll was wrong, so she lost her job").

Sounds really compelling.

But it doesn't seem to answer how it works in Jupyter notebooks, or if it does at all. Is the GPU acceleration done "client-side" (JavaScript?) or "server-side" (in the kernel?) or is there an option for both?

Because I've used supposedly fast visualization libraries in Google Colab before, but instead of updating at 30 fps, it takes 2 seconds to update after a click, because after the new image is rendered it has to be transmitted via the Jupyter connector and network and that can turn out to be really slow.

> Using the strengths of the human vision system to get a rough idea of what the typical data looks like and the frequency and character of outliers isn't dumping the job of exploratory data analysis onto the reader, it's how the job actually gets done in the first place.

Yup this is a good summary of the intent, we also have to remember that the eigenfaces dataset is a very clean/toy data example. Real datasets never look this good, and just going straight to an eigendecomp or PCA isn't informative without first taking a look at things. Often you may want to do something other than an eigendecomp or PCA, get an idea of your data first and then think about what to do to it.

Edit: the point of that example was to show that visually we can judge what the covariance matrix is producing in the "image space". Sometimes a covariance matrix isn't even the right type of statistic to compute from your data and interactively looking at your data in different ways can help.

HN has been my very favorite website that I consciously open every day since last ~15 years. It is the portal to get the ambient and relevant view of the techland.

I love the near-non-BS nature of it. And even though the techland changes, HN itself has had very little change, so it acts somewhat safe stable ground/forum/club for observing the ever changing techland. Although I recognize there is somewhat minimal degration in comment quality (less professional pragmatic comments over the years, at least so I feel), it still trumps every other alternative there is.

So, thank you PG/HN, and of course the HN community that makes most of it.

PS. I have been read-only mode for the past ~15y (and there was nothing valuable for me to comment on anything), but now I created account and this is my first comment :)
That's a real issue, but that's masking some of the issues further downstream, like chunking and other context-related problems. There are some clever proposals to make this work, including some of the stuff from Anthropic and Jina. But as far as I can tell, these haven't been tested thoroughly because everyone is hung up at the OCR step (as you identified).
This is the correct take. There are almost always better ways to plot three dimensional data than trying to project 3D geometry to 2D.

That's true, but the details of the placement of the ladder doesn't matter at all. The only thing that matters is that the ladder doesn't move or wobble around during the experiment.
> 3. what value do billionaires bring to the table

It's a good question. The Reagan-era response would be that having billionaires inspires people to work hard, take risks, come up with ideas and better themselves. In a post-scarcity era where the only route to wealth is capital, and machines handle the hard work and ideas, I'm not sure what benefit remains from having billionaires. What good are incentives at that point?

Not off hand, there's some JSON problems spec I found once but I don't recall if it had anything for stack traces specifically.

It's not hard anyway. You can just upgrade server frameworks to render the stack trace to either a string or a json data structure (or protobuf), and when an exception bubbles up you capture it, convert it to that structure, compress it, possibly encrypt it with a shared key (just to avoid leaks in case there isn't a proxy stripping the special header), base64 encode it and stick it into a special header. Then your HTTP client can be taught to look for that header in case of a 500, decode it, turn it back into an exception and rethrow it.

If you have a unified framework like Micronaut it's probably the work of an afternoon to throw together. The hard part is the crypto. The moment you introduce keys, corporate security teams will insist on things like frequent rotation even if it's just a backstop against badly configured frontend servers and not mission critical (if you leak a stack trace, ok, not great but not the end of the world). So it might be better to obfuscate in a different way that isn't meant to be fully secure, or detect if a request comes from an internal IP in a secure way, etc.
I do both. It depends on whether I can think of a concise variable name that faithfully describes the intermediate result. If you need more than 20-ish characters to describe it, then it is better to leave it chained.
> Are you assuming that all these people also have employment income on top of their UBI

Any system with UBI requires other sources of income to exist (thr absence of such sources means that nothing of value is being produced for exchange, in which case any money printed is basically monopoly money and how you distribute it doesn't matter because it isn't doing anything), and a major premise of UBI has always been that it enables those transitionally deprived of income more freedom to reconfigure their lives and ramp up these sources of income (and does so with less redundant—with the progressive tax system—bureaucratic overhead) than do means- and behavior-tested welfare programs.

The particular mix of available other forms of income between wage labor, independent business, or capital don’t really change the basic arguments.

> Was the modified ENIAC less of a computer than the Manchester Baby because its program was in ROM and could not be changed by the computer?

To me, the most remarkable property of a computer is that data and code are interchangeable. This makes it possible for the same computer to run different programs, run programs that transform programs, and so forth. It's the same fundamental concept that today means that one can "download" an app and then run it.

(See also: Lisp, which is equally remarkable in the software space for the same reason)

> Look at it this way: many modern microprocessors, especially small ones for embedded control, have their programs in ROM. If they are modern-style computers, then so was the modified ENIAC.

What makes them modern-style computers, though, is that they are capable of having their firmware flashed - or at least the development versions can do this while their software is engineered. If the final product only runs a ROM, it has lost the essence of a general purpose computer, which is the fundamental and very remarkable invention that is what we actually celebrate.

Apropos of the Morgan Stanley reference in the linked CNBC article. Goldman Sachs and other have MUCH lower price targets. I mean, I'm no expert, but I do know there's a range of opinions on what the appropriate price for TSLA shares are.

Full disclosure... I bought TSLA way back when, before Elon got super-weird in public but sold it in 2021. I made a HUGE profit, but felt it was a little too risky to put a lot of money into so I didn't get "life-changing money" from the deal. Still... I have a personal, good experience from TSLA and try to give Elon the benefit of the doubt, but dang, everyone seems to be going crazy these days.
