Yeah, I love this stuff! Compiling data from multiple pages into a single paragraph in the time it takes to read one page? Great stuff. I can't imagine living without Perplexity.

Oh, sure, it hallucinates a lot, and in dangerous ways, but even if I have to manually corroborate all the citations, I'm still saving time, especially insofar as it reveals whether or not I'm barking, broadly, up the wrong tree.

It's especially good for comparisons, because the results of two disparate search terms can be collated into the results.

Could this be done without LLMs, but only vector embeddings? Hm, maybe. Algolia is maybe the 80 for 20, but does Algolia have a web index?
Perhaps with margin: auto your :gap element can sit in the middle of the “gap space”?
To add, Earth is only ~4.5 billion years old, the universe is 13.7 and possibly double that, so earth is only 1/3 the age of the universe. It took a lot of big stars going supernova to pollute the galaxy with enough dirt to make rocky planets, and in all that meantime, everything has been flying apart, with a significant chunk of it already so far away and expanding away even faster, there is measurable difference between the observable universe and the "whole universe."
JPMorgan was predicting a 48% price drop at the start of Oct 2024 when it was still only $150.

IMHO it turns out Tesla isn't the NVidia of EV.. NVidia is.

NVidia is developing and selling an entire autonomous car hardware and software training stack. They will sell this to all the existing automakers, who make better and cheaper vehicles, to develop their own complete solutions.

I expect Tesla stock to go near or under $20 eventually.

Because we haven’t actually created anything. Supply is the same, demand is WAY up.
Hallucinations are a thing you cannot know or predict ahead of time in any specific detail. Human's also have biases which favor the first choices they make in maintaining internal consistency.

About all you have is the fact that they will happen.

Now, following your own example:

You'd dump 1000 hours of video into the software which is not fully disclosed for example. The Officer or Investigator is told to look at 666 hours of related material. They manually review the first portions, the video is contextually consistent with their narrative. They pick and choose the video consistent in supporting their narrative, discarding the rest which may be exculpatory.

The same way a news room might cut pieces of news together to take an interviewer's words out of context, structuring as a "Complex Question" fallacy.

The burden and cost to prove otherwise is on the defense, which most often will not have the same access to the same software.

Now it doesn't matter if you debunk it later, the jury goes with their first initial decisions. Tainting the jury. Subtle but that's how it would happen.
This is an interesting take, but I have a slightly different take. My ding dong company pays everyone including myself, salaries that are way too high. They gave ne a 30% raise I didn't even ask for or expect. We get a contract to do X, which say should take a team of 5 folks. However, we can only staff the contract with 3 folks because our salaries are too high. Now, we're all working 80hr weeks and stressed to the max because we really need more fresh minds on the challenge.

Now, we're in a contract lull, so some of us are only charging part time (75%), while actually working overtime.

It's bananas.

The solution seems obvious. Decrease salaries and increase company stock offerings. Then, if you and your colleagues care to work harder and deliver outstanding product, your stock value will rise over time and you'll be a.) more wealthy than taking 'dumb' money, and b.) more physically and mentally healthy.
Having healthcare tied to employment is antithetical to the most basic principles of our economy: people should be able to freely and easily change jobs and/or pause employment--that is the "free" in free market.
Yeah but we also got lucky there - like picking the right altcoin. React was just one of many then, and the rest all crumbled. And like OPs said, modern react is quite different than it was 10 years ago

By your own logic you could argue that humans are just as natural as worms (and Jupiter). I don't know if you'd then extend that to include anything we build as well but even if you don't there's already a glaring issue - your criteria has resulted in the terminology being rather useless. It appears to include approximately everything or approximately nothing.

Similar logic can be used to argue that machines are no different from rocks.

At the end of the day it's an argument of semantics so it's always going to come down to some fairly arbitrary criteria. You could survey people to determine common usage. You could establish a standards body to define it. Probably some other options as well.

Recall that Pluto used to be considered a planet.

I think their apparent definition seems fairly reasonable, although it's far from the only one. It appears to amount to living organisms plus any machinations constructed by said organisms that respond to the environment in some clear manner. Thus worms, dogs, humans, and thermostats. Probably not bicycles or hammers. Drones probably only qualify when operating in an autonomous mode. I'm not seeing the issue.

Americans, and actually young folks worldwide, don't value democracy anymore. There's an episode of Radiolab or This American Life that dives into the results of a worldwide survey.

It's deeply concerning. Essentially, people don't care about democracy because they've grown up in it.

It's one of those "My father rode a camel, I drive a land Rover, my son will drive a land Rover, his son will ride a camel" type stuff.

On top of that, Americans truly believe we are different. We don't have to follow the rules that other nations do because we have manifest destiny. This prevalent all throughout American culture. You'll notice it when you start to look for it. "You can count on the Americans to do the right thing, after they've tried everything else." Americans are stubborn.

Regular people don't own nuclear power plants. Banning new ones from being built had little immediate personal impact.

Regular people do own devices that use fossil fuels. Banning them means people would immediately have to replace vehicles, water heaters, heaters, stoves, ovens, grills, generators, etc. Raising fuel prices means people immediately feel it.
Oh but don’t worry I’m sure all the people who imagine these schemes assume they’ll be the ones who aren’t obsolete and forced to work menial jobs.

Very similar to how ultra hard core libertarians assume they’ll be the ones at the top of the food chain calling the shots and not be just another peasant.

But it doesn’t really matter because there is no way in hell any of these LLM’s will uproot all of society. I use LLMs all the time, they are amazing, but they aren’t gonna replace many jobs at all. They just aren’t capable of that.

You have your own viewpoint, and are assuming its "resonable" and so by definition I'm "unreasonable" is GOOD FAITH? No thanks, no interest in engaging with you.
I think another important part is that solar has low minimum useful quantities and customization. Lots of the problem with nuclear power is that you only need ~100 to power the US, and each one takes years to build, so getting scale is basically impossible. With a 50-100 year lifespan per plant, that means you only get to build 1-2 a year, and you can't learn much from the 5 you've most recently started since they're still under construction.
It still works fine for end users, just not for the compliance department.

Being good at acquiring fancy academic degrees != Being good at programming.

If you ask the top 1% of FAANG engineers, the Jeff Dean's and Ken Thompsons to try to make it as professional ballet dancers, they're probably going to fail pretty hard too.

Granted "academic degrees" and "programming" are probably more similar than "programming" and ballet, but still.

The metaphor "ballet dancer" and "basketball player" or "basketball player" and "gymnast" might be more apt. You can be good at one thing and not good at a related thing, even if both require 'using your brain a lot' or 'using your body a lot'
The life of indoor LED bulbs has improved over the years. But I learned to only install them in vented fixtures.
I just had a thought and decided to look it up.

This side conversation started as an objection to the comment, "Whatever framework you choose will be obsolete in 5 years."

The first release of esbuild was November 2020, i.e. it didn't exist 5 years ago. And that release fixed... conditional statements in TypeScript--a pretty basic feature to be broken. Does that sound like something you want to use in production?

So maybe your strategy of only using things that work with esbuild doesn't address the problem as much as you think it does.

Yes, plenty. It's not great for passwords, (but sometimes it still is! Sometimes sites using MD5 still get popped) but there's plenty of other problem spaces where brute forcing still means brute forcing.

I only use GitHub Actions for auto assigning issues (and I never merge pull-requests directly; I will always handle pull-requests manually). Here is the entire file:

on:
issues:
types:
- opened
pull_request:
types:
- opened
permissions:
contents: read
issues: write
pull-requests: write
jobs:
default:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- run: gh issue edit ${{ github.event.issue.number }} --add-assignee ${{ github.repository_owner }}
env:
GH_TOKEN: ${{ github.token }}
GH_REPO: ${{ github.repository }}

I set the permissions to only allow writing to issues and pull-requests (so that if gh is modified to do malicious things (or has a security flaw that allows it to do malicious things even if not intended), it cannot affect anything other than issues and pull-requests). As far as I can tell from the documentation, this is correct (although can do things other than add assignees, and it does not seem that it can be set more finely), but if I am wrong then you can tell me that I am wrong.

Documentation for GitHub Actions says, "If you specify the access for any of these permissions, all of those that are not specified are set to none." The article says "I do think a better "default" would be to start with no privileges and require the user to add whatever is needed", and it would seem that this is already the case if you explicitly add a "permissions" command into your GitHub Actions file. So, it would seem that the "default permissions" are only used if you do not add the "permissions" command, although maybe that is not what it means and the documentation is confusing; if so, then it should be corrected. Anyways, you can also change the default permission setting to restrictive or permissive (and probably ought to be restrictive by default).

Allowing to set finer permissions probably would also help.

The author misses a perhaps unintuitive point: the cost of storage depends also on the cost of energy. By the time you've overbuilt 2x, a full extra 100% of your demand is sitting around literally free at odd hours.

Traditionally, moving energy around means batteries, and yes maybe your battery costs more than just generating new electricity from a less efficient new solar panel at odd hours. But batteries are optimized for energy being expensive, where losses are wasteful.

Consider this really simple, dirt cheap alternative: plug your free energy into a pool of water and collect the hydrogen from it. Burn the hydrogen later, and point the light at your idle solar panels. It's hellishly inefficient, but I repeat: the energy is free. You are only minimizing capital costs, at least until other people catch up and start shifting load some other way.

The sane point on this curve probably looks something along the lines of a mix of batteries and synthetic fuels powering existing fossil fuel plants. The nice thing about going all the way to synthetic fuels and not hydrogen is that long term storage becomes trivially cheap, so it starts offsetting your winter load as well.
When I was fiddling with LED circuits back in the 70s (!) I experimented with turning the LED on and off with a square wave. If you turned it on and off rapidly enough, your eye did not notice it, and your eye perceived it as fully bright. (Adjusting both the frequency and duration of the "on" part.)

Hence, you could get some decent power savings doing this.

I wonder if this is commonly known. I've mentioned it to a couple EEs over the years, and they were able to reduce the power consumption of their devices.
Congrats on the progress.

A lot of the SQLite code & modeling looks similar to how I'd approach this.

I was wondering about the need for React in this arrangement. I feel like you could do this with even fewer vendors and less memory (on the client).
It’s just a way to say: why do you think this index is meaningful based on what it measures.
No, it's not the same whatsoever as a monkey taking a photo, because a monkey taking a photo has the same originality as a human taking a photo. The monkey is not making a sophisticated mash up of copyrighted photos.
I really urge people to try Cirrus CI, it's almost unknown but it has pretty amazing features!
It’s still helpful to eg fold different phases in Nix, and different derivation output.

I work on garnix.io, which is exactly a Nix-based CI alternative for GitHub, and we had to build a lot of these small things to make the experience better.
I spent a good half hour "talking" to 4 mini about why Picard never had a family and the nature of the crew as his family despite the professional distance required.

Can't say I'm enthused about another novel technological way to destroy the living of people who work in the arts.
> This suggests that dumb luck plays an increasing role.

Nah. It’s not luck. It’s charisma. And skill at performance & in many cases clowning. Some people just have that certain something that makes people enjoy listening to them. It can be learned, but like programming it takes a lifetime to master. And like programming, some people are naturals at it.

I know because I’ve been training in improv theatre and clowning for the last 6 years. That’s enough that I could tell you in detail what people like the Primagen or Joe Rogan are doing. But I can’t replicate it. I’m way better than I was, but I’m nowhere near their skill level as a performer.

Imo, the “activation energy” is a lot lower than it appears too. The determinate systems nix installer solves a lot of the local development issues and it’s fairly easy, as a first pass, to write a simple derivation that just copies your current build process and uses nix for dependencies.
I have a couple LED night lights that are triggered by a photocell to only turn on in the dark. I've often wondered if the trigger circuit consumed more power than just leaving the LED on.

It seems "ever further away" because most cities in the US are literally decades behind on building enough housing. It's going to take drastic anti-NIMBY overhauls to allow enough to be built to actually catch up.
Yes, that looks safer. I didn't realize I could put the `-X` option at the end. The man page says:

So, I presumed the path had to go last.
Aside: >1000 comments in 2017 is significant. Is there a straightforward way to list such highly-engaged HN submissions? Ideally sorted by prominence within a short (1yr is fine) time window, but a simpler sort (no regard for prominence, just absolute engagement, which would strongly tilt the results toward the present, due to platform growth) would also be ok.

I also like how it shows the 'power' of NP-completeness. Explaining zero-knowledge proofs for colouring is fairly easy. Explaining how to go from 3-SAT to colouring is some nice pictures. Explaining how to go from Sudoku to 3-SAT is 5 minutes work (assuming you understand both 3-SAT and Sudoku already).

Together, these things let you do zero-knowledge proofs for Sudoku with no more work, and by a similar process, zero-knowledge proofs for any problem in P.
So the hierarchy looks a bit like this:

Top level = Keychain Access.app or the security CLI tool

Mid level = keychains (in flavours of files, core storage, data protection-enabled, and iCloud)

Item level = an entry inside a keychain

There is a sub-level as well, some software stores encoded data as a single item so when it's decrypted it's a bunch of different data, not a single secret, but technically the keychain system isn't aware of that anyway.
But there are pretty large-scale deployments of renewables and battery storage going on, so presumably some fraction of the power used in today’s desalinization plants is generated from renewables (at least in China.) At very least there should be no deep mysteries about the generation costs.

And if you prefer, employers who need engineers aren't going away. They're being temporarily deluded into thinking that they can get rid of their teams due to the AI hype, but I expect that to change as "vibe coded" software starts to fall apart.
Ive had similar results asking chatgpt to generate inout files for graphviz "dot". Pretty good. E.g. i asked it to summarize a complex article and draw the people named and their relationships.

But it was good at arranging the elements in timeline order for example.

That doesn't follow. It's a reason to believe prices will increase, not that prices will increase roughly in line with the income increase. This distinction is not a minor detail, it's pretty crucial. If you give people $3k and the prices go up by $2k... that's a very different scenario from one where the prices go up by $3k.
