Some of the more modern tools do exactly that. If you upload a CSV to Claude, it will not (or at least not anymore) try to process the whole thing. It will read the header, and then ask you what you want. It will then write the appropriate Javascript code and run it to process the data and figure out the stats/whatever you asked it for.

I recently did this with a (pretty large) exported CSV of calories/exercise data from MyFitnessPal and asked it to evaluate it against my goals/past bloodwork etc (which I have in a "Claude Project" so that it has access to all that information + info I had it condense and add to the project context from previous convos).

It wrote a script to extract out extremely relevant metrics (like ratio of macronutrients on a daily basis for example), then ran it and proceeded to talk about the result, correlating it with past context.

Use the tools properly and you will get the desired results.
It is consistent support, and it is getting worse, and the sentiment brokers are making it even worse by preventing people from talking about it by echo chambering most people.

In systems theory we call this a positive feedback system, and they are prone to runaway failures. The environment today that has been created is disadvantaged, and will get worse because of regulatory capture and lack of representation.

Dating largely isn't happening because any eating out costs a large fraction of your rent, which is also high, and jobs are few and far between.

Thomas Paine wrote about systems like this where they decree for all time that something must be. He called it dead men ruling, and that is the system we have today, and its stagnated for a generation (20 years), and is now coming undone.

The elements of slavery without calling it that. A thing is what it does. The ugly truth is past generations broke the generational contract, raised their children to be slaves to fuel a comfy life, and withheld the benefits of past generations which they received.

They have deluded and blinded themselves to the point where they are blind and think its the children, when they should be thinking; I along with everyone else allowed this to happen and supported it.

Which is why the world is never going to view or deal with the US the same way they did before. The current administration and its actions represent the will of the American people; represents their world view, their desires.
It's not really a fundamental problem if plastic was only used for things that are meant to stay whole a long time. Say an RFID tag or a piece of trim on a car.

Currently we put supermarket-made perishable salads in a plastic container, we wrap the container in plastic, we put a plastic strip lid on it, and we put the oil and nuts in two separate plastic wrappers inside the plastic container. That is ludicrous insanity for something that perishes in a couple of days max.
Great to see more projects come up in this space monopolized by eleven labs. Need to compare it to Kokoro
> Furthermore, performing custom ISA optimizations makes these changes RDNA3-specific

this is overblown at least wrt forward compatibility - all of the instructions used are in RDNA4 and most of them are even in CDNA3 (CDNA4 isn't public yet?) and the ones that aren't exactly there are only slightly renamed (ds_load -> ds_read). Sure it's annoying but it's not the end of the world to have some `#ifdef`s in your code (that's not very much different from what the compiler itself is going to do anyway).
Avalon Emerson is such a great dj and producer. I’d love to see them live sometime - I’ve a great set from 2017 of theirs on SoundCloud that’s really eclectic. Love the style.
Since this is an age competition, I can remember the annoyance of XT and AT keyboards and motherboards having the same connector but being incompatible. Some keyboards had a switch to change modes. I don't know what advantage the AT keyboard provided but it must have been huge to be worth breaking compatibility in both directions.

How is this judgment reached? What's the probability distribution assumed for the probability of life arising, and how was that estimated?

This is nothing more than a personal feeling on your part dressed up to try to make it seem to be something that isn't completely subjective.

This whole subject, touching as it does on existential questions, is rife with opportunities for bias, so it's very important to be rigorous and explicit in reasoning, not resort to "feelings", or in arguments that end being exercises in rationalization of those feelings.

What one must do in such a situation is seriously question ones own assertions. "How do I know that this is true?" "What would look different if this weren't true?" So many seem to just voice their intuition and stop thinking.

I want you to imagine an alternative world, let's call it Schmearth. It's inhabited by Schmumans, orbited by the Schmoon. It's in a universe much like ours, but the laws of physics are such that OoL has a very difficult step, so Schmearth is the only life bearing planet in their universe. My question to you: what would be different that they would see that we do not (or vice versa)? If you can't identify such a thing, how do we know we aren't ourselves living on Schmearth?
Not at all in my case.

Also, not hating on the Kerala model - every state in India is now in the position where they can take advantage of it.

But I do not think it's replicable in most other LDCs due to historical quirks.

Like, Malawi, Guinea, or Afghanistan can't use much of the "Kerala Model" to succeed, as India was unique in that it was subsidizing the UAE's economy with the "Gulf Rupee" [0] (maybe Cambodia/Laos thanks to Thailand, but it ain't a great reason why IYKYK)

the KV store i am talking about doesn't use paths, it uses IDs. the paths are in a hierarchical directory that is added on top of the KV store, or alongside of it. the result is a filesystem.
They have been notorious for this for generations, to the point where it's sort of surprising to see it mentioned explicitly. Obvs this isn't a fashion forum and not everyone knows, but probably most people who want a specific pair of levis does know.
Coming from Kerala to Europe for a short Erasmus, I feel here you have to visit a huge chain for buying anything on a discount. What I mean is big supermarket, or electronics or transport chains. Kerala's premature strikes against these were the only reason they didn't grow as Kerala grew. Can't fully say if it's a good thing but it does feel safer not being dependent on a private entities for many basic things.
Don't forget the Centronics 36-pin parallel connector!
This is like people that think they have designed their own even better encryption algorithm. Voodoo. You are not solving a problem better than the kernel and filesystem (and hypervisor in this case) has already done. If you are not writing the kernel or a driver or bootloader itself, then fsync() is not your problem or responsibility and you aren't filling any holes left by anyone else. You're just rubbing the belly of the budda statue for good luck to feel better.
It's only fair to compare them to other victims of unprovoked Western aggression, like Libya. In that arena, they are actually doing relatively well, and imagine how successful they could be without the "global policeman's" boot on their neck.

Never have I ever imagined the state I grew up will end up on the front page of Hacker News. Keralites have a common skill of migrating almost everywhere. They have huge connection with the middle east.
I quite liked it when it first came out, I'd been dealing with a ton of bespoke formats up until then. Pretty much every one was ambiguous and painful to deal with. It was a step forward being able to push people towards a standard for document transfer.

I suspect it was SOAP and WSDL that killed it for a lot of people though. That was a typical example of a technical solution looking for a problem and complete overkill for most people.

The whole namespace thing was probably a step too far as well.

Bummer there's no free tier. I've been bashing my head against an intermittent CI failure problem on Github runners for probably a couple years now. I think it's related to the networking stack in their runner image and the fact that I'm using docker in docker to unit test a docker firewall. While I do appreciate that someone at Github did actually look at my issue, they totally missed the point. https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/11786

It's cool but nothing that special. It's kinda bold that you're willing to say what you don't do but it doesn't stand out. It's basically a resume, there are many different ideas about how to write a resume, you're focusing on "how I work" but there are other ways to do it to.

A few lines of analysis are:

(1) If you have a good resume you should blast it out by every channel imaginable: get it on LinkedIn, turn it into a Slideshare presentation, put it up on your GitHub, you ought to put it up in 50 places. Present it as a YouTube video.

(2) Early in my career I struggled with job interviews. Bob Firestone (look him up!) got me to look at it like a pick up artists and I went from being terrified of job interviews to doing them for fun or to gain information. There is a lot of "science of seduction" and self-psychology here but the thing I'd call out is "is it about you or about them?" In a process like that you want it to be about them and not about you, or at least not that you are thinking about you.

(3) Personally I'm a bit of a chameleon for the good of the team. Some teams are really too cautious and they need somebody a little reckless to shake them up. More often people are sloppy and need someone who helps them be careful. My pet peeve about "data scientists" and people who've worked in big companies is that they often don't have the small company or startup ethos that you do whatever the team needs if it isn't in the job description. I think a lot of employers value flexibility a lot, I know I do.

(My better angel points out you might avoid some bad situations if you're more clear about your boundaries up front!)

(4) If you want to get attention online you have to do something really special. A demo which looks like it fell off a UFO, a blog that you wrote a post on every week for a year where 50% of the posts are S-rank. Preferably the blog and 10 of those demos.

(5) ... and yeah, get a pic that was taken with a long lens instead of a wide angle lens

Good luck!
The vast majority of cases are not declined for fraud/wilful misrepresentation. They're declined because they don't meet standards for asylum (or at times because the judges are being pushed to deny regardless of what the law says or means) or because they didn't have proper representation or enough time to prepare and have to face a broken immigration system. Hell we don't even have enough interpreters. Many of those claiming asylum speak less common languages like Mayan languages

Even if you can't define the exact point that A becomes not-A, it doesn't follow that there is no distinction between the two. Nor does it follow that we can't know the difference. That's a pretty classic fallacy.

For example, you can't name the exact time that day becomes night, but it doesn't follow that there is no distinction.

A bunch of transistors being switched on and off, no matter how many there are, is no more an example of thinking than a single thermostat being switched on and off. OTOH, if we can't think, then this conversation and everything you're saying and "thinking" is meaningless.

So even without a complete definition of thought, we can see that there is a distinction.

Ambitious Keralites move out of the state to set up businesses. The ones who remain usually get rich through a mix of unethical businesses, political party connections and corruption, or the gold and money-lending businesses (which were inherently shady). Keralites are either highly ambitious, in which case they go to more welcoming cities such as Delhi, Bangalore and Chennai, or extremely lazy, in which case they stay at home and abuse the welfare state. The welfare state is so abused by lazy government employees who will do anything to block you from setting up your business. And if it isn't them stopping you, it's the pesky political parties who will send their goons after you to charge for every task.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokku_kooli

For instance, the richest Keralite, Yussufali MA, made his fortune in the Middle East. His sons-in-law, both billionaires, as well as KP Basheer, Ravi Pillai, PMC Menon and Mohammed Ali of Gulfar made their fortune in the Middle East, all of whom are silent billionaires even most Indians barely know of. Vivek Ramaswamy's parents were from Kerala too, as is Thomas Kurian (head of GCP).

If you look at the West, Keralites are increasingly taking spots in the medical and healthcare sectors, especially nursing, and now even the education sector. There are Keralite teachers in the oilfields of Midland, Texas, because most people are otherwise not ready to work there. Some of my neighbours relatives from back home were even working in Afghanistan for the USG, making bank for working in a warzone. The only groups that are more or equally as prominent as Keralites worldwide might be the Gujaratis (the Patel motel guys and diamond merchants) and the Jews.

Ask HN: What is happening?
In the last few days, I’ve been feeling quite depressed. I don’t know how others feel about this, but it’s quite a shock that this is reality. We’re in the middle of a pandemic, yet it seems nobody wants to admit it, address it, or fight against it. Walking along my university aisle, sitting and waiting for the doctor, riding the train, or even driving my car—everywhere I go, everyone seems locked into their smartphones, chasing the next dopamine hit while doom-scrolling through "social media." What does this have to do with social media? The interaction is anything but social. I miss the days when Instagram was a place where you shared a slice of reality, not just generated content designed to grab your attention in the fastest way possible (to match your shrinking attention span) and satisfy your dopamine cravings.

Even though I work in the research area of algorithms and complexity, I love interdisciplinary exchange. The most affected people I’ve met are teachers. They can’t seem to get a handle on the problem: the attention span of children in the classroom is too short. Even if you can debate modern teaching methods, we’re currently raising a generation that isn’t used to paying attention to anything for long; they’re accustomed to being entertained like a king by his court jester. I don’t see technology as the enemy. I’ve learned to love the discipline in all its facets and wouldn’t want to live without it. It’s an enormous advantage—it can bring us closer together and allow us to exchange information more quickly if we use it properly. Nor do I want to demonize social media. I want to raise awareness that algorithms designed solely to manipulate your attention span and keep you on a platform as long as possible can’t be good for humanity. Thinking needs to shift more toward human-centered design; our collective attention needs to focus on this problem. I’d like to hear your opinion. I appreciate the community here, and your perspective might help me come up with new ideas.
While not agreeing to the parent comment, it comes from the domestic politics now playing out in that state. After India got independent in the 40s, communists were the main opposition political party in the country for decades. Now, their presence in power is mostly confined to just this small state. While the center and most states are ruled by a hindu nationalist party. This has led to the politics in kerala moving to a sort of secessionary path. A political alliance of the communist-christian-muslim groups against hindu groups and rest of india.

Hi,

I'm building a distributed application based on Hypergraphs, because the data being processed is mostly re-executable in different ways.

It's so refreshing to read this, I was also sitting down many nights and was thinking up about the same problem that you guys solved. I'm so glad about this!

Would it be possible to plug other storage engines into Restate?
The data-structure that needs to be persisted allows multiple-path execution and instant re-ordering without indexing requirements.

I'm mostly programming in Julia and would love to see some little support for it too =)

Great work guys!

Sure, start with 501s in Levi's LVC line. You'll get better quality, selvedge denim and they'll be based on 501s from different eras (so slimmer legs, wider hem, etc etc). If you're lucky you can find some with Japanese or Cone Mills (USA) denim. LVC are often in the sale, shop around.

Then look at the Japanese brands. Most of them are reproducing 501s from various eras. FWIW, I like TCB (https://tcbjeans.myshopify.com/) - the price/value ratio is superb, the quality is better than LVC and retail is cheaper. Their 40s and 50s jeans are both brilliant and they age amazingly.

Hope that helps!

Four Hypotheses on the Impact of AI
1. AI will allow everyone to build powerful, secure software on their own, programming at the interface, very soon.

2. They can use this skill to build an actual close integration between their mind and llms. The extended mind hypothesis in overdrive.

3. This setup will at least for a time be the most powerful form of cognition if done to its full potential. Augmented Cognition.

4. The step is imminent, and can be performed by every single individual. Open source, self-hosted, good enough cognitive augmentation is needed. Self-organizing and tightly integrated.
A thin coat of flexible glass around lightweight biodegradable material (like paper) might work - it is lightweight, nonreactive, not brittle or dangerous but might be somewhat more expensive to manufacture.
Often they will do exactly that, currently their reasoning isn't the best so you may have to coax it to take the best path. It's also making a judgement call in its writing the code so worth checking too. No different to a senior instructing an intern.
