I never suggested it was a bad thing. I was just explaining the differences.

However to answer your question:

Storage hasn’t always been cheap. So it used to be a bad thing. Theses days, as you rightly said, it’s less of an issue.

But if you do want to focus on present day then it’s worth noting that these days FOSS does ship a lot of dependencies as part of their releases. Either via Docker containers, Nix packages, or static binaries (eg Go, Rust, etc). And they do this precisely because the storage cost is worth the convenience.
For my 3yo, I have setup YouTube kids but with only approved content. He gets to see only selected channels or videos. YouTube with search enabled for kids isn't as walled as one might expect.
We can only speculate what might be going on, unless we see what resume you are sending out. But one phrase you said caught my attention:

> and solid startup experience

That makes me wonder whether you also have solid non-startup experience? I've found that a lack of diversity in experience can spell trouble. The older folks I know who have never really varied their roles struggle a bit. Be sure you are not reminding people that there is a difference between 10 years of experience vs. one year of experience repeated 10 times. You need to show growth and change, not just years.

And maybe you do show that... again, hard to say without more info.
I feel the same way, or at least I wouldn't delegate this unless they fine tune accuracy and reliability in their apps. Right now, it sits around 40-60%
But general intelligence has so much more to it than this. It's so overly simplistic to say "outperform on tasks."

General intelligence means perceiving opportunities. It means devising solutions for problems nobody else noticed. It means understanding what's possible and what's valuable just from existing without being told. It means asking questions without prompting, simply for the sake of wondering and learning. It means so many things beyond "if I feed this data input to this function and hit run, can it come up with the correct output matching my expectations"?

Sure, an LLM might pass a series of problem-solving questions, but could it look up and see the motion of stars and realize they implied something about the nature of the world and start to study them, unasked, and deduce the existence of solar systems and galaxies and gravity and all the other things?

I just don't buy it. It's so reductive. They're hoping to skip over all the real understanding and achieve something great without doing the real legwork to understand the true mechanisms of intelligence by just pouring enough processing time into training. It won't work. They're missing integral mechanisms by overfocusing on the one thing they have a handle on. They don't know what they don't know, but worse, they're not trying to find out.
Intel's bad naming is still shooting them in the foot today. For a company that butters their bread by selling new products, they're doing a spectacularly bad job of letting people know what the new hotness is.

I hear things like "What do you mean it's slow? It's an i7!" or "It can't be slow -- it's a Xeon!" from too many people in the wild.

To them, the first number is the important one. What they see is that it is still an i7 and therefore they think it must be still be (relatively) fast, even if their second-gen i7-2600 is demonstrably pretty slow.

I tried once to explain how Intel's numbering system has worked to a friend. I failed pretty miserably. I even used a whiteboard. I couldn't convey what needed to be conveyed in order to explain why his computer (an i7) wasn't keeping up with the tasks he gave to it.

But I can convey the problem simply enough in this crowd, here on HNN: What's faster, a "Core i3-9100" or a "Core i7-2600"?

(At least with 286, 386, 486, and Pentium, the nomenclature was much more digestible.)
This video just drive home that using isospin and hypercharge is like using epicycles to describe the motion of the planets: It works, but it's overly complicated, and it's better to just use the actual thing (quarks, and heliocentrism).
The obvious answer is they can support anything they care about directly. The relationship a selfish multi-billionaire has with the government is ideally that said government takes a huge amount of money from them, then spends it much less efficiently than they would on things Mr. billions doesn't think are the highest priority targets to fund.

Tesla sold about 8,600 cars in three days at four separate stores in Canada, or roughly one every two minutes per showroom, in January.

I mean, it’s going to take more than two minutes just to convince the finance guy that if he mentions “paint protection” one more time, you’re walking out.
Hey thePhytochemist, cool tool! Yes, spectrograms are fundamental for us. Audacity is the classic for quick looks. For systematic analysis and ML inputs, it's mostly programmatic generation via libraries like torch.audio or librosa. Spectrograms are a common ML input, though other representations are being explored.

Enhancing frequenSee for scientific use (labelling/analysis) sounds like a good idea. But I am not sure what is missing from the current tooling. What functionalities were you thinking of adding?

The PHP Foundation: Impact and Transparency Report 2024
They (the two major political parties in the US) are consistently and provably full of shit and you're mad at me for pointing it out? Not sure what that means. Likewise I reject any claims of virtue signaling when what I'm actually doing is expressing life-long disappointment and frustration at a very nearly complete lack of political representation.
This could use a bit more explanation. For instance:

How many points and how many bonus moves do you get for a capture? Does it depend on what you capture? (It looks like it's one bonus move whatever you capture, but more points for more valuable pieces; 1 for a pawn, 3 for a bishop, so I'll guess it's 5 for a rook and 9 for a queen.)

Does "Beware of attackers!" mean (1) you aren't allowed to move the knight to a square that's attached, (2) you will get some points deducted when you do, or (3) nothing, it's just flavour-text? (It looks like it's #2, a loss of one point each time you move to a square that's attacked.)

The instructions don't mention the "clean board" bonus; I think they should.

I'd write it something like this:

Complete each level by reaching the target within the given number of moves.

Each piece you capture gives you one more move, and points according to the value of the piece.

You lose one point any time you move to a square that's attacked.

Your score for the level is the number of moves you had spare at the end, times the number of points you earned. Double if you captured all the pieces!

(... Except that it looks as if there's some further "streak" mechanic, which I haven't tried to figure out the details of.)

If that's too long, put it behind a clicky-button, and just say "Get your knight to the target square. Earn points for getting there quickly without being attacked, and capturing pieces on the way." plus a button labelled something like "Full rules".

Maybe make the notification when you capture a piece say something like "+3 points / +1 move"?

If the levels get fairly crowded then it might be expensive to get the computer to find the best possible score, but it shouldn't be hard to make it find a pretty good score. You could present that, either at the start or after the user finishes the level, as a target, and congratulate them when they meet or even beat it.
AGI doesn't have a strict definition though so I think it would depend a lot what you see "AGI" as being.

We're well on our way to building AIs which are competent at many tasks. Assuming an AGI doesn't need to be able to do every task a human can do, and doesn't need to do all of those tasks as well as an expert human, then something which could be called AGI doesn't seem that far off at all.

I remember a time quite recently when the idea of an AI beating a good-faith interpretation of the Turing test seemed very far away. I feel like we're much closer to AGI today than we were to beating the Turing test in the late 00s.
I was laughing at the point that they are doing the extra steps to be compliant to all pass DKIM and DMARC yet legitimate companies are still running open relays.
Tangentially related, Radio Shack had a remote control robot called Robie Sr. You could move him around, turn his eyes on as lights, and make him say whatever you wanted through the remote.

The robot also had a tape deck, and if you hit record on the tape you could later playback the pre-recorded actions for the robot.
Yeah, I got driven out of college by one bad building. (This was back before it was understood that a building can be a problem.) I simply couldn't think properly while in it. A problem with classes, a showstopper when the labs were in the building. I'm sure I would have flunked out if I had tried to take those classes. I have no idea what I was reacting to but there sure was something. (It felt a lot like one house where I had the same sense of something bad walking in the door--and long later a wall full of black mold was discovered.)

I am wondering about why all these people think AGI will care about humans like enough to send terminators for them.

Not calling out any books not to spoil stuff for people - just mentioning it is not my original idea but one that I find interesting.

My read of the thread is that this discussion is specifically about Microsoft Copilot, not GitHub Copilot.

I feel like this all motivates for a very expressive type system for integers. Add different types for wraparound, saturation, trapping, and undefined. Probably require theorem proving in the language to provably never overflow for undefined overflow integers.

>knowing that (A + (B + C)) can't overflow doesn't mean that ((A + B) + C) can't overflow

Here, the associative property works for unsigned integers, but those don't get the optimizations for assuming overflow can't happen, which feels very disappointing. Again, adding more types would make this an option.

From all the newspapers the Guardian isn't exactly what comes to mind here. Their opinion section might have some content that is very liberal or left from an American perspective but their news reporting is factual and pretty good while succinct in my experience.

Neither, but perhaps worse: I am young.

Are there any compilations of apocryphal stories of the events you described? It sounds too fantastic to be real.
Dated doesn’t mean bad (usually the opposite in my experience!) What issues do you have with Airflow?
They weren't guilt of fraud because they had not intended to obtain money or property. Maybe they should or could have been charged under another law. Which law do you think they broke?
> It means asking questions without prompting, simply for the sake of wondering and learning.

I disagree. What you are describing is one of the possible goals of intelligence, it doesn't define intelligence itself. Many humans are not really interested in wondering and learning, but we call them intelligent.

You totally can tune LLM that it will ask tons of questions to someone who created chat: how are you today? What are you doing right now? What are your hobbies? Etc.
You can often fool yourself by using sync.Pool. pprof looks great because no allocs in benchmarks but memory usage goes through the roof. It's important to measure real world benefits, if any, and not just synthetic benchmarks.
Salesforce pays to have their logo on top of the tower, much like stadium naming rights. They don't own the building. Very far from it. They lease like 12 floors total (and not even the higher ones).
> The biggest thing though, is for the life of me I don't understand why you can't open and close a dialog without JavaScript. There's no way to do it.

You can use popovers like this without JavaScript:

<button popovertarget="some-element" popovertargetaction="show">Open</button>

<div id="some-element" popover="auto">
<button popovertarget="some-element" popovertargetaction="hide">Close</button>
</div>

You can mark a <dialog> element as open by default with the `open` attribute, and you can close it with a button using the `dialog` form method. No JavaScript required for that either.

I don’t think there’s any way at present to open a `<dialog>` element specifically without JavaScript, but command/commandfor handles this and was recently added to the HTML specification:

Well, if green numbers go up, we can reverse the logic of the author. That means that tariffs improved the economy! /s

More likely: any headline about "why" the numbers are moving should be taken with a grain of salt.
no, they have one record, of 2.9 billion records bieng stollen.
It is absolutely true that many records that are stolen, are not recorded, as such.
There is no record of what, is recorded.
This has the possibility of becoming, a record for ,well deserved, adsurdity
The numbers are highly suspicious, but the article doesn't seem to point to any actual specific accusation of wrongdoing. Were the cars sold to people in other countries and thus not eligible? Sold to corporate buyers and they're not eligible? The number of vehicles sold at the dealerships doesn't pass a sanity check but it's also unclear what is believed to have happened that was illegal. Were online sales ineligible for the subsidy so they were routed through dealerships? There appears to be smoke here but it's unclear where the fire is located, if it exists at all.
Instead of defunding, fund somebody else to replicate the claim. We should start rewarding researchers for disproving or confirming another person's work at the same level as we would the original researcher. I would go as far as to say that a confirming researcher should get top billing along with the initial researcher.
Does that exist for Tesla dealerships? I thought it’s all online and just the delivery happens in person.
We should separate the problem from the solution. The problem is that running tests may require relatively many integrity-busting flags. That is true.

There are, however, better solutions than a global test-mode flag that, invariably, will be used by some in production out of laziness, leaving no auditable record of what integrity constraints need to be violated and why. When a new team lead is appointed some years later they will have a hard time trying to reduce the entropy.

The better solutions will arrive in due course, but until then, build tools can automatically add most of the necessary flags. They should be encouraged to do that.

Show HN: I made a Chrome Extension to stop mindless browsing / avoid tab clutter
Hey HN,

I've created on a Chrome Extension called Lucid to help me maintain my focus while browsing. It has been working great for me, so I wanted to share it here.

Whenever I start browsing with a certain intention, I always find myself get off track, doing some other thing, forgetting about my intention. This also leads to like 20+ cluttered tabs, not knowing what to keep or close.

So I built Lucid. Simply stating my intention (1) creates a floating reminder that follows me everywhere, and (2) creates a tab group off of the intention so the tabs will be organized automatically. You can add multiple intentions as well.

I hope this helps, and I would love to hear your feedback!

So lets say you have a 6 sided die and you have two options.

1. You win when a 1 is rolled

2. You win when a 1 or a 2 is rolled

Despite both of the situations being less than 50% the 2nd one is still more effective.

(Also your comment implies Trump's campaign doesn't have boots on the ground which obviously isn't true ...)
He's considered a moral and good character purely because he was fully willing to sacrifice his child. Even if God did stop it at the last second, we're supposed to think that the morally correct thing to do was to listen to God and murder his child.

I don't know that I agree with your take, I don't think it's meant to be interpreted as a limit to sacrifice. If that's what you got out of it, that's good, I don't think you should sacrifice humans, but that wasn't the vibe I got from the story at all; the vibe I got was that "you should always listen to God if you want to be moral, and God will make sure that the right thing happens."

This isn't a good analogy though?

A good faith interpretation of the parent's comment might assume the tribe's leaders started making arbitrary rules about fires which were of questionable benefit to the tribe and when the tribe did things there own way the leaders took bananas from them as a punishment.

If the rules being made are not of clear benefit to the tribe then surely it is right to question them? Your point that rules can be good should be self-evident, as is the inverse - that rules can be bad. What's important here who is the beneficiary of those rules.

I do have non startup experience too. I didn't face this problem a few years before (4 years)...was able to land interviews.
What I am curious about is: Did I hit the age limit where the companies stay away most of the time
That's not how it works for Tesla. Totally different buying experience. You order online, get a notification some days or weeks later that it's ready, go to the store sign a couple of documents and drive off with the car. Maybe 10 minutes total. (Source: bought a Tesla a few years ago). I just recently got a Kia EV9 and it was a 3-4 hour marathon of paperwork, talking, more paperwork. Really terrible buying experience. Nice car though.
I think public transportation is most used during commuting hours.
Say the person who the public vote for is in prison (and to make it "easier", prior to running for office. Or maybe they were a write-in).

That decision should lie with the voters, you say.

So which takes precedence? Prison, where they are serving a sentence? Or the democratic role?

After all, the same public, using their democratic rights, voted for a system in which that person was sentenced to prison.

So which vote is more important? The vote that says that "X is a crime, and if you are justly convicted, the sentence is Y"? Or the vote that says "If I want you to be our leader, that's more important than that previous application of justice"?
What basic rugby technique?

A rugby scrum is highly regimented, it's not the optimal way for 3 (or 5 or 8) guys to push the other team back, it's the optimal way to do it given that they must be bound in a particular way.

A rugby ruck or maul is more freeform and maybe some of the techniques from those can be applied to NFL, but small differences in rules make a big difference there too.

On a different question, though, sure, the Eagles have a massive and strong QB who is perfect for this play, but other teams have huge guys playing other positions. Why not have a different quarterback for your QB sneak / tush push plays? Specialist players for niche situations is a trademark of the NFL compared to other professional sports, and this play doesn't rely on the element of surprise. You don't need to have your best player at passing the ball also be the strongest at breaking the line.

I was trying to guesstimate a theoretical upper-bound on the damage. Looking at youtubes online, it seems a labtop battery explosion is still scary and more like a handful of firecrackers than TNT, but what actually seems worse is that the explosion is followed by the labtop being on fire and producing subsequent smaller explosions. So the worse case is that the fire ignites other stuff in the plane, which includes other lithium batteries.
On the other hand, because there's a minimum weight for bikes, and frames and wheels are too light now, we get cool tech like motorized derailers and disc brakes
sure you can. You're likely not granted clearance or in the military. Private citizens don't have a concept of "state secrets".

It's not just the opinion section. While I don't regularly read The Guardian, I do read some articles from it that show up here, and the donation nag at the end of every article is always specifically anti-Trump.
