When one doesn’t have a response based on logic and common sense, one resorts to name calling. Fact is, whether you like it or not, the party in power has been in power only for a few years, and has achieved more than the other party did in 60 years. Do you really believe that the INC would have handled Covid better? They were trying to kill off indigenous vaccines to favour Pfizer etc who (a) refused trials in Indian conditions and (b) wanted $62 per shot. Do you really believe that they would have managed to keep fuel prices in check given Trump's war on Iran? Do you really believe that Rahul Gandhi is qualified to run a home owner's association, leave alone a nation of 1.4 billion people? Take a look in the mirror then next time you use that phrase.

I think maybe the most difficult part will be cost. As far as I know, it will cost more than 5 dollars per item. But if the quality is good enough, I think maybe some gaming user will buy it. Customize layouts is really important for gaming user.

Now that's what I call an interactive web experience, thx for that

Thanks!

Extreme accretion/scope-creep of syntax (and features) across all languages continues, C++ is probably one of the most extreme example of this. Everyone's trying to bring in the shiniest new toys from all other languages. So-called "modern C++" is an unbearable menu of every possible flavor of procedural, functional, OOP, templates, strong/weak typing, metaprogramming, and so much more. End result is a Frankenstein mix of C, Fortran, Pascal, Python, F#, Scala, C#/Java, Visual Basic, LUA, TCL, Rust, and what not... and that's before we even talked about the STL/STD situation in C++. The only correct way to work with C++ is to agree on the most minimal subset of features needed for consistency and productivity in your codebase, stick to those and avoid adopting 95% of the crap that's being brought in. Ignore the noise.

Procedural generation always looks magical until you realize it's just a bunch of simple rules fighting for resources.

Agree with you, I do Language modeling is fundamentally compression: https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.10668 The entire endeavor is ultimately fundamentally coupled to reducing compute Eventually we will compress models further by removing outdated knowledge like Python and Cobol cause who needs 1960s like languages to then layout data in the screen when the model has knowledge of geometry and can mutate the screen geometry without needing a Python interpreter or C compiler

I’ll even sign your guestbook.

Oh man, hope my computer won't lag rendering the whole amazon rainforest

I think I love slop now.

I had the same issue of using AI as useful tool, but it never really hit the mark. I was a content designer/copywriter years before AI was a thing (writing career started in 2004). I learned to write (sometimes great) content organically, lots of rewrites till it finally stated taking shape. This process involved getting to know the product, the audience, the positioning, etc. for each piece. With AI, it made the production of content faster, but definitely not better. I decided to remedy this by creating an AI tool built on the basis on my "real" writing hands. Levragd uses your company's existing company info, brand docs, guidelines, product info, and audience (among other parameters) to create content specifically for your company. Try the Analyze my company function (no email needed) to see what Levragd could do for you. https://levragd.com/ If you like it and know of some other peeps who could benefit from Levragd, spread the love :)

Yeah they do. Usually staring at Peppa Pig and crap like that. Take it away and they have a meltdown. It's awful. Mine were never exposed to tablets and consumption based technology until they went to university when they were given an iPad and apple pencil. One science grad and one still studying at top tier universities, no cognitive issues or addiction. Their peers, not so much as since the advent of the iPad they were given an unrestricted device to stare at.

That NDA case is the real argument, more than price. Token prices keep dropping anyway, but "this data can never leave the building" doesn't change with a price cut ;)

Oooh ok; I'll validate you; you're so special to me after all Totes will advocate for a social system where you get a shot at the life you want But only as propagation of such freedom is in my interest too Will never know/care if it works out for you personally; but everyone is physically welcome. Debating finance and related semantics is generic and shallow at this point in human history; the ledger of ownership/capital distribution makes it clear and the cops on TV rounding people up when the people attached to the names on the ledger feel scurred; all quite clear as well Finance is rhetorical only to me; empirically the only evidence it exists is the say so of others My applied physics studies and engineering experiments in fancy labs, studying information propagation in various physical mediums never revealed to me a fundamental particle that gives rise to value of a dollar But go ahead spend another 250 years debating the memes of the long dead; I am more interested in weird science and a lived experience that's more than that. Oh no some people who have zero obligation to me took some made up points away... guess I should commit seppuku? You all want me to keep you in mind next time I buy groceries; would some HNer find this choice generic; lol...nah... Not unreasonable to call such banal arithmetical score keeping generic and shallow; a binary up/down vote; oh so deep and heretofore unknown to humans Believe it or not my real goal is discuss actually interesting things not the same old blah blah blah of CNBC. The generic and shallow tone towards finance babble is because it's a generic and shallow context we pretend to find interesting because of its centralness to our social cult practices; when all you have is a hammer every problem is a nail; coloring either tool or both pink, blue mango... the context is the same context The government is the number 1 employer of economics PhDs and well... may be that they are ready to quit hiring them: https://www.chrisbrunet.com/p/the-collapse-of-the-econ-phd-j... The times are a changing; moving on from ultimately arbitrary academic euphemisms. You know how we don't call ourselves British in the US? And the world doesn't default to Latin? Future people won't sound like us either; because it doesn't really matter. I stick to discovery of new music and bleeding edge physical experimentation in physics and engineering to get a bump. Dollars and cents bean counting is just empty fingers flapping to mime a babbling mouth This, though, is actually interesting analysis of reality before us: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/for-the-first-time... We may be able to just beam consciousness across timespace with out the dick shaped rockets; but we will never find out if we keep living in sunk cost fallacy and cling to rockets to nowhere because it's what the 55+ year olds oo'd and ahh'd at as kids to the detriment of the next generation of kids finding even cooler things to oo and ahh There you go. Some proper deep thoughts. Like and subscribe!

Gone back to my old T480 here for that. I don’t need a lot of CPU but I do need a lot of RAM. Managed to get 2x16Gb sticks for not much money. And a better screen than the newer T14 I have.

Hi! I know absolutely nothing about music, but I played with Jamfetti for over an hour. It's so well made. I wanted to keep playing, so here's an idea: what if I could loop what I just played, and see what I pressed on the screen (like a trail of the notes)? Then I could layer melodies and keep building on them. Thanks for making this. (English isn't my first language, so I used a translator.)

AI payoff in the tech sector so far is the loss of thousands of jobs, the disappearence of entry-level positions, a flood of low-quality software and more cybersecurity risks. Thus far AI has been great at extracting value from every area its introduced in, but terrible at actually generating value.

Lots more money in cracking cryptography and other areas of math which are economically active. I agree to some extent. This was just a large tech flex. Feather in the cap and lots of damage done. It’s up to mathematicians to harness it. I don’t think AI companies care much any more.

USD actually strengthened during the time, so it actually makes sense for gold to trade lower.

Is there any other country whose very existence you’re against due to your “conscience”?

We have seen this before even with human-generated proofs. Inelegant 100+ page proofs of the global stability of Minkowski space-time or the four colour problem leave humans reeling. Is it worth-while learning? Any lessons to generalise? If not it is just a mechanical exercise (like coding).

As a mathematician turned Wall Street Quant & trader (and now part-time CS faculty), I do not particularly like unsolved problems. I no longer get thrills from solving problems, rather I care about finding them solved. In that sense AI is a cure (for my poor coding!) and a good part guide. But it doesn’t solve things on its own. AI directed intelligently (& critically) does great things but AI without produces slop when used uncritically. The AI could have done nothing without a human making open conjectures and a human prompting it, often again and again. I have used AI in academic papers to generate a theorem & proof when the result seemed obvious (but the referee asked!) and I had done all the earlier heavy lifting. I have never used an AI output I didn’t fully understand and that is crucial. It lies and hallucinates and we must police it. Academic math will be the hardest hit. It needs to pivot quickly. This is the real challenge. Individuals can move quickly but how do you get institutions to do so? Looking forward to brave new world when mathematicians become AI whisperers. And they are rewarded for their skill in discovering and co-discovering new and exciting areas.

Maybe an old Amiga. It's easy to get started, as most games boot automatically from the floppy disk. When they are ready for more advanced usage, the default boot ends up in Workbench where they can get a desktop environment. After a while, expose them to programming through AMOS or Blitz Basic.

They do have big advantanges because many large corps have become totally dependent on them having outsourced everything and lost internal knowledge. That internal ops knowledge is very crucial/useful to take full advatange of what AI offers. In the coming years much of it will leak into frontier models. After which corps might not need IBM/TCS etc and just rebuild internal teams to handle ops like they once did.

We ran into a related issue too: uploads succeeded, but Cargo couldn't find the new versions in the index. Related report: https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io/issues/15053 It now looks like it has been fixed. They're visible now.

The edge-crossing alert feature is great. I've struggled with draw.io for fixing it by my client's requests.

Oh this takes me back, what a cool project. Can someone reinvent the internet from that era next please?

Nothing in your links support the claim that there is more money in those things than there is in big pharma! Not to mention the bad PR you get for supporting them....
