These results are very similar to the &quot;Alice in Wonderland&quot; problem [1, 2], which was already discussed a few months ago. However the authors of the other paper are much more critical and call it a &quot;Complete Reasoning Breakdown&quot;.<p>You could argue that the issue lies in the models being in an intermediate state between pattern matching and reasoning.<p>To me, such results indicate that you can&#x27;t trust any LLM benchmark results related to math and reasoning when you see, that changing the characters, numbers or the sentence structure in a problem alter the outcome by more than 20 percentage points.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv.org&#x2F;html&#x2F;2406.02061v1" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv.org&#x2F;html&#x2F;2406.02061v1</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=40811329">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=40811329</a>

The way I heard it, trains in Japan aren&#x27;t (state) subsidized, but rather they are real estate businesses where &quot;subsidized&quot; cheap traffic into and between train stations drives increased real estate value and thus commercial rents.<p>If you think about it, the same could be said of state subsidized public transport, where increased economic activity due to improved traffic (getting people to&#x2F;from jobs, shops and their homes) can increase tax revenue which can then be spent on public transport subsidies, turning them revenue positive. Of course whether most state subsidized systems actually live up to those aspirations is a bit more questionable.

&gt;In addition, the documents show that TikTok was aware that “compulsive usage also interferes with essential personal responsibilities like sufficient sleep, work&#x2F;school responsibilities, and connecting with loved ones.”<p>How can anyone see that and think, yes we want to be in this business.

It isn&#x27;t population density, since we used to discuss politics all the time until 2016. Family get togethers, work events, just friend hangouts, all of them would have active discussions and arguments surrounding politics. The Trump era changed all that. I don&#x27;t know about India, but I think social media is what changed everything, and how it changed everything is more complex than many people think.<p>There are so many factors to it. The non-stop nature, the echo chamber effect, how it allows you to hear the thoughts of people you never would have heard before, but also, and maybe this is a big difference with India, that insane effort from Russia and China (and others) to maliciously engage with our social media with the sole goal of disruption of our culture and nation.<p>I&#x27;m in my 50s, and there was plenty of political discussion before 2016, much like the person from India in the OP describes. We used to have a close friend in our friend group and we would regularly tease each other over political issues, but also listen, and he was a staunt Obama-hater and subscribed to birther conspiracies. Two years into Trump and we stopped being friends, and I haven&#x27;t talked to him since 2018.

Maybe it automatically extends it when you are using it?<p>This is at least what we do for our web application, where users are automatically refreshed indefinitely unless they are inactive for more than a few days (enough to cover Saturday&#x2F;Sunday when they are not working). We have an access token that is refreshed in 5 minute intervals. The refresh request also provides a new refresh token with an extended expiration. A deactivated user can use it for a maximum of a few minutes until the access token expires, because the refresh request will fail. It&#x27;s fine for our use case, but it may not be for everyone. We could potentially include a token black-list in the backend for emergency uses, but we haven&#x27;t seen the need for it yet.

This is the problem with these companies having so much power. I had my Amazon seller account banned over a decade ago for a single bad review. I believe it was a competitor, because I had already refunded the customer and the negativity&#x2F;review just didn&#x27;t make sense.<p>There was nobody to talk to and support just redirected me to an inbox that bounced.<p>At time time, it destroyed my business that I had been building on the platform for five years and it took me some time to rebuild (in a different industry and not on anyone&#x27;s platform).<p>I finally got my account back a few months ago with no explanation.

&gt;&gt; even just the energy advantage of being able to refuel in orbit rewrites all our intuitions about time and expense of exploring the Solar System.<p>Except that it doesn&#x27;t. Refueling in LEO only helps if your gas station is in the same orbital inclination you need for your target. As each interplanetary launch will be via a different orbital plane&#x2F;inclination, there is little use for generic infrastructure. Just using a bigger one-time rocket will be more efficient than trying to refuel and then boost interplanetary from an inappropriate orbital plane.<p>Now in <i>higher</i> orbits refueling can start to make sense as inclination becomes less of a handicap, but boosting from a higher orbit is less efficient than from a lower (oberth). A single larger rocket will still be the way to go.

Since the pandemic, enforcement of traffic laws has fallen off a cliff, with a corresponding increase in traffic deaths. That is the result of a specific policy choice. Women who get pregnant experience potentially fatal complications somewhat randomly, just like victims of driving accidents are killed somewhat randomly. You probably can’t eliminate either category of death entirely with policy, but it is clear that there are policy levers that could reduce deaths in both categories. They actually seem almost exactly equivalent.

Amazing tool ! I use gather.town at work because everyone works remotely and we all share our screens every day. I have multiple 4K screens and altough Gather let us zoom in, having a dedicated screen for sharing with the proper resolution is a blessing (for my co-workers) because everything is too small for them and changing resolution multiple times per day is painful. Thank you so much !

&gt; Right behind seniors and kids, homeless people are the next big group of library patrons in my town.<p>That has been my experience in places with lots of homeless people too, but not everywhere. As you might expect, you don&#x27;t see many homeless people in places without many homeless people.<p>Which leads me to what I actually wanted to say. The article says this information was based on a YouGov survey. Clicking through to YouGov, it was an &quot;opt-in Internet panel.&quot;<p>So it seems like some of the head scratchers could be explained as &quot;people who don&#x27;t opt in to Internet panels&quot; rather than &quot;people who don&#x27;t use the library.&quot;

&gt; It&#x27;s a spiral, the moment you allow a nuclear power to use that status to force the hand of an opposing nation at war you open a can of worms. Since 1945 the world has been trying to control proliferation through other means, wars of annexation have been shunned, you really don&#x27;t want that to come back into a world armed with nuclear weapons.<p>You also have an example of what happens when some countries are more powerful than others: the veto at the UN Security Council. The UN is essentially unable to do anything that is against the interest of US, Russia or China (it just happens that France and the United Kingdom usually agree with the US). Imagine US, Russia and China having the same power but with 1) the actual ability to wipe enemies off Earth, instead of just blocking UN processes; 2) anybody able to join the club &quot;just&quot; by investing into nuclear proliferation. Doesn&#x27;t seem good.

Not to defend Cruise too much, but the 2.5 to 5 miles stat is misleading in that they aren&#x27;t real time disengagements. They are instances where the vehicle proactively identified a situation where it wasn&#x27;t confident enough to proceed and then safely stopped while awaiting a response. This is obviously way too often in terms being a courteous and legal road user but its completely different from a driver taking over as the vehicle attempts an unsafe maneuver.

This. I&#x27;ve had conversations with PhD folks who are genuinely afraid Trump getting elected will mean their naturalized citizenships will be reversed and they&#x27;ll be deported. I&#x27;ve had conversations with gay Americans who asked me if they should consider moving to Canada because Trump may remove recognition for gay marriages. Both of these positions are so far out of the likelihood of things that may happen that there is no reason to think about them at all, and yet they do. There is little point in discussion at that point.

&gt;Whats the point unless you live in a swing state?<p>The game theory strategy in the electoral college is to register and vote as the non-dominant party in any election. If enough people follow this strategy, the locality becomes a swing state and the party platform and candidates will reflect their interests.<p>&gt;Also why give the government any ammunition to legitimize their existence in the first place.<p>Until the government collapses, they still control the monopoly on violence. Unless you&#x27;re a radical pacifist and willing to be the sacrificial lamb, there is a pretty clear need to participate to the extent that the wolf of government doesn&#x27;t eat <i>you</i>. The punishment which the wise suffer who refuse to take part in the government is to live under the government of worse people.

@syg If you happen around to answer more questions: Why going with only Sealed prototypes for structs? Personally, I would assume that with static initializer blocks we could well go with &quot;initially Sealed&quot; with &quot;Frozen once class initialization completes&quot;. ie. Make the last step of &quot;StructDefinitionEvaluation&quot; AO &quot;SetIntegrityLevel(F, FROZEN)&quot;.<p>This way I&#x27;d assume eg. decorators would be usable on struct fields and methods, but engines would be safe to cache prototype method lookup result values without any validity cell mechanics. I would assume this could make prototype method calls on structs very fast indeed.

In which distribution? Like school math or competition or unsolved problems? FWIW I think one and three and probably easier to generated as synethetically. It&#x27;s harder to bound the difficulty but I think the recent David silver talk implies it doesn&#x27;t matter much. Anyway there&#x27;s some work on this you can find online--they claim to improve gsm8k and MATH a bit but not saturate it. Idk in practice how useful it is

I test llms actually similar. For example there is a well known logic puzzle were a farmer tries to cross a river with a cabbage a goat and a wolf. Llms can solve that since at least GPT-2, however if we replace the wolf with a cow, gpt-o does correctly infer the rules of the puzzle but can&#x27;t solve it.

Rivenrayne (also known as XIL), has recently gained infamy in certain internet subcultures and is connected to a variety of online harassment, manipulation, and exploitation activities. His most notable association is with the UTTP (YouTube Troll Police), a notorious online group that engages in trolling, doxxing, and even targeted harassment campaigns. Rivenrayne’s role, however, goes beyond typical trolling. He has allegedly orchestrated manipulative &quot;cults&quot; that lure vulnerable individuals, often encouraging harmful behaviors such as self-harm under the guise of belonging to an “elite” group.<p>Accusations against Rivenrayne include grooming and exploiting minors, making him one of the darker figures in modern digital subcultures. He’s often associated with disturbing figures like “OpsecDaddy” and “Brad764,” suggesting a coordinated network that targets vulnerable users. This network, commonly exposed by OSINT (open-source intelligence) communities, showcases the darker sides of online spaces and how exploitation can thrive in certain corners of the internet.<p>For those interested in learning more, check out sources on Criminal Minds article on Rivenrayne and online cult dangers.

Adopt Habits of Successful People Who Share Your Personality Type
Hey self-improvement enthusiasts!<p>I&#x27;m creating a quiz that combines personality insights with actionable self-improvement strategies:<p>1. Identifies your personality type (out of 5 types) 2. Matches you with successful people of the same type 3. Provides their actual daily habits for your personal growth<p>For example, if you&#x27;re an Innovator type like Steve Jobs, you&#x27;d get:<p>- Morning contemplation walks - Simplified wardrobe routine - Daily Zen meditation practice<p>The idea: Accelerate your personal growth by adopting proven habits of successful people who think like you.<p>I&#x27;d love your thoughts:<p>1. How valuable do you think it is to model habits after successful people with similar personality traits? 2. Would you be more likely to stick to habits knowing they worked for someone successful with your personality type? 3. How do you think this approach compares to generic self-improvement advice? 4. Any concerns or suggestions for making this tool more effective for personal development?<p>I&#x27;ll share the quiz link once it&#x27;s ready for testing.

Well, we grow up with knowing about the origins of the universe, and life, from a young age.<p>I suspect, when you don&#x27;t understand things like the big bang and genetics, the line between religion and science (or fact and fantasy) is quite blurry.

Show HN: A minimalist basketball stat sheet app
I was at a volunteer coach&#x27;s meeting for the upcoming basketball season, and a friend of mine mentioned that he had gotten a stat book this year to help him better keep track of what his players needed to work on. As the analytical nerd that I am, I thought this was a great idea!<p>I checked out a few statkeeping books, and either didn&#x27;t find one that had all the stats I was interested in as someone who&#x27;s developing young players (e.g missed vs. made layups, double-dribbles), or required a lot of special marks that increased the learning curve and distraction factor. I saw a similar deficiency with existing apps, and I also wanted one that allowed you to easily export the data for sharing&#x2F;compiling and had an undo button for my inevitable mistakes. I tried it at some games this last weekend and my son and his friend enjoyed talking to each other about their numbers on the way home. I also look forward to helping my friend who got the statbook during the times he can&#x27;t enter stats himself.<p>How to use: It starts with a tutorial, but basically after you click &quot;Players&quot; and enter your players, you can increment stats by selecting a player from the top and then selecting a stat. You can view your stats anytime by clicking &quot;Show Stats&quot;, and when finished you can hit &quot;Export CSV&quot; and then &quot;Reset&quot; to get ready for the next game<p>How it&#x27;s built: It&#x27;s pretty much built with vanilla js, except for the tutorial lib (which I also made with vanilla js, btw: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gitlab.com&#x2F;andrewfulrich&#x2F;tourit.js" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gitlab.com&#x2F;andrewfulrich&#x2F;tourit.js</a>). I took and modified the central state store from here (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gitlab.com&#x2F;andrewfulrich&#x2F;barleytea&#x2F;-&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;docs&#x2F;sharedState.md" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gitlab.com&#x2F;andrewfulrich&#x2F;barleytea&#x2F;-&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;doc...</a>). All the data is stored in window.localStorage, so no back-end. Cursor+Claude helped generate a lot of the original code but became a lot less useful when it came to refactoring and debugging. It was my first successful project with Cursor and it was definitely a good experience overall.

HMRC&#x27;s guidance maps very imprecisely to legislation and case law.<p>Eg the CEST tool asks &quot;Will this work take up the majority of your available working time?&quot;<p>Guidance for that question is here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gov.uk&#x2F;hmrc-internal-manuals&#x2F;employment-status-manual&#x2F;esm11160" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gov.uk&#x2F;hmrc-internal-manuals&#x2F;employment-status-m...</a><p>Can you tell me why they ask it? What light it sheds on the central question of contract-of-service vs contract-for-service?

Even Zuckerberg complains that every time they patch some of the Meta&#x27;s apps on the App Store they need to wait days or weeks in order to get approved. If Facebook and Instagram are not important to Apple and most probably Google too then we can&#x27;t be surprised that indie devs get cold feet.

Oh, but this is not how meritocracy is ever viewed in a liberal democracy. Equality of opportunity is the defence on an unequal society.<p>For the inequality of outcome to be fair and just, there has to be at least some kind equality of opportunity in a meritocratic society.

&gt; I went the other way (hourly -&gt; daily) and found it much more enjoyable.<p>Doesn&#x27;t work too well with maintenance on existing products; clients really would rather not pay for the hours between a PR being submitted and the PR being merged. Toss in a good dose of &#x27;waiting for your tech lead to answer these questions&#x27;, &#x27;waiting for feedback on this proposed document&#x27;, &#x27;waiting for infra to give me access&#x27;, etc, and many clients completely balk at daily rates[1].<p>For complete products daily billing works nicely.<p>[1] This is because they know that a turn-around time for granting access to their labyrinthine infra for all the machines that might be needed is going to take more than a day.

Both Claude-3.5 and o1-preview nail this problem<p>&quot;Let&#x27;s think through this step-by-step:<p>1. Alice has 3 brothers 2. Alice has 2 sisters 3. We need to find out how many sisters Alice&#x27;s brother has<p>The key here is to realize that Alice&#x27;s brothers would have the same sisters as Alice, except they would also count Alice as their sister.<p>So, Alice&#x27;s brothers would have: - The 2 sisters Alice has - Plus Alice herself as a sister<p>Therefore, Alice&#x27;s brothers have 3 sisters in total.&quot;

I&#x27;m not saying this because I like Go per se, though one might argue I like Go because I can say this, but &quot;Go, but stay away from all concurrency for a while&quot; is becoming my go-to recommendation for new programmers. Fewer foot guns, it&#x27;s close enough to the metal you can learn about it (there&#x27;s even an assembler you can play with if you want to), and despite being 15 years old is essentially <i>not</i> the result of 15 years of language-construct-astronautics. It also lacks a lot of the accidental complexity of C in the compilers, using new modules is &quot;go get&quot; rather than essentially learning a new sublanguage, a lot of advantages.<p>But do stay away from the concurrency. I occasionally get flack on that point, but try to remember back to your programming days when you were having enough trouble keeping track of how <i>one</i> instruction pointer was flowing; it doesn&#x27;t help to immediately try to keep track of multiple. Gotta recover the novice mindset for a moment when recommending programming langauges.<p>I used to recommend Python, as many others did. Your cited disadvantages of such languages are certainly true, but Python used to make up for it with the ability to do real work relatively quickly, and while it may not have taught you how the machine worked, it did a good job of teaching programming. But now... well... Python was my primary hobby language for about 8 years around 2000-2008. I&#x27;m fluent in Python. I wrote metaclasses. I wrote a bit of a C module. And I can still read it, because I do check in from time to time. But it&#x27;s not the same language anymore, and almost every change it has made has made it harder to recommend as a new language. It used to be the simple alternative to Perl that still had most of the power... now I think it&#x27;s harder to read than a lot of Perl 5, what with all the constructs and the rules about what happens and the difficulty of resolving what a given line is going to do with all the ways of overloading and decorating and overriding everything. And the culture of having all this power, but using it selectively, is gone from what I can see; now it&#x27;s &quot;we have all this power and what a shame it would be not to use it&quot;.

I do think we deliver $16&#x2F;user&#x2F;mo of value fwiw: unrestricted posting, DMing, video calls with recording + transcripts + LLM summaries, API, and tons more. But we&#x27;re not doing a good enough job:<p>1. Giving people an on-ramp to try posting on Campsite without committing to $20&#x2F;u&#x2F;mo. What&#x27;s your take if we had a $10&#x2F;u&#x2F;mo &quot;starter&quot; tier? 2. Telling the story on how working the &quot;Campsite way&quot; is so much better than Slack, and the craft in the product justifies the price (in my strong, very biased opinion).

Arm has had a performance-to-power edge over x86 since inception.<p>AIUI, if you want the most flops per die, you&#x27;ll buy x86 - probably the 128-core Xeon for enterprise money. But that&#x27;s not what&#x27;s best for hand-held gaming.<p>AAA titles are typically GPU-bound anyway. More CPU flops may not offer much benefit.

&gt; I have seen the friction show up when the company is too small to have any staff dedicated to working architecture and engineering facing engineering systems, but big enough that their past choices are creating friction.<p>It&#x27;s funny you say that. My career hasn&#x27;t been as wide and varied as many. My roles have been across wildly different industries, but I only have one person&#x27;s life to live and my average tenure has been around 5 years. I&#x27;ve had a lot of time to reflect on these sorts of issues in depth, but not to see how they apply across as many situations.<p>That _exactly_ describes the organizations I had in mind when I was writing that. I have no extra useful insight to add or anything, just that you&#x27;ve definitely given me something to chew on there.

Yes and:<p>That essay is a good start.

Versus say humanism, dignity, sovereignty, and right to self-determination.<p>What about fair and impartial adjudication of disputes, determining tort, and dispensing justice? These Big Bad vs Consumer framings don&#x27;t (adequately) say what to do about inherit power imbalances.<p>Who are the referees?<p>When our government&#x27;s &quot;monopoly over violence&quot; is usurped by corporations, acting as police-judge-jury-executioner, disenfranchising actual people, we&#x27;re all just wage slaves, paid with company scrip, struggling to get our basic needs met.<p>Road to Serfdom indeed.

I feel like disabling editing on mobile entirely might be going too far.<p>It&#x27;s obviously your project, so you&#x27;re free to do whatever you want, but if you prefer focusing on read only mode on phones, maybe you could consider a full screen&#x2F;toggle mode instead (not split whatsoever - neither vertical nor horizontal), that let&#x27;s you select editing or viewing mode - and it defaults to off &#x2F; viewing?

&gt; I think you just have to structure your thread-related APIs to be misuse resistant<p>The premise of this stays. C# approaches this in a more traditional way, with exposing the set of synchronization primitives. It&#x27;s a step above C and, usually, C++ still because you don&#x27;t need to e.g. have an atomic reference counting for objects shared by multiple threads.<p>Concurrent access itself can be protected as easily as doing<p><pre><code> lock (obj) { &#x2F;&#x2F; critical section } </code></pre> This, together with thread-safe containers provided by standard library (ConcurrentDictionary, ConcurrentStack, etc.) is usually more than enough.<p>What Rust offers in comparison is strong guarantee for <i>complex</i> scenarios, where you usually have to be much more hands-on. In C#, you can author types which e.g. provide &quot;access lease&quot;, that look like &#x27;using var scope = service.EnterScope(); ...`, where using turns into a try-finally block, where finally that calls .Dispose() on the scope is guaranteed to be executed.<p>It&#x27;s a big topic, so if you have a specific scenario in mind - let me know.

Yeah, gotta love the modern conveniences of fobbing your customers off to automated hell. Reminds me of my experience buying something on eBay without creating an account, having a problem with the item and no way to contact the company other than creating an eBay account and reaching out to the seller. Well, that went well as I was instantly blocked, terminated and told to never return. All I did was contact the seller with my order number, as presented by eBay, through eBay. The customer service drone was very unhelpful. Hope the OP has better luck with Google.

Documentation where, somehow, every single thing you can find for some particular need is “deprecated” and it’s weirdly-difficult to find a complete set of docs <i>not</i> full of deprecated landmines mixed in with the current stuff, is kinda a Microsoftism.

I think they meant &quot;not unlike&quot; as - we didn&#x27;t think asbestos was bad, then we thought it <i>could</i> be bad, then yes, after studies, this is really awful. Similarly, we might find that ingested plastics cause more damage than we realize now.

You misunderstood: the risk isn&#x27;t that the password managers can lose your password, it&#x27;s that they can be compromised and when they are then all your accounts are compromised at once.

In order to get a better idea of the distinction you have in mind, fox or lion: EES, DJT, NB1, DG, PG, SHA?

&gt; Welcome to dystopia<p>The end-game of capitalism is where companies start to recursively regulate their own markets. Perhaps government regulation wasn&#x27;t so bad after all?

It&#x27;s because every election the political parties figure out how to up the stakes to get people to care about voting. Now if someone gets voted it&#x27;s &quot;literally life or death&quot; (it super isn&#x27;t). Everyone could use a dose of &quot;no treason&quot; by Lysander spooner. Then maybe we can care little enough to have actual conversations.

Yeah, that is quite high. My 2x 3090 with 7950x and 96gb of ram idles around 70 watts.

In the end, what&#x27;s more important than your own ego? They love feeling powerful and strong. They love feeling like part of the group.

Classes are still built around prototype inheritance, there are some differences, however they are still an easier to use api on top.

<p><pre><code> startup success across stages of a venture’s development - from initial fundraising to exit. </code></pre> … we know how pointless this all is, right? Not the research (which seems like a solid confirmation of intuitive assumptions and advice) but the industry. I suppose it’s a little rude to point this out on the site started by the guy who made his millions by selling a company to yahoo that ended up being worthless (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;smallbusiness.yahoo.com&#x2F;stores" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;smallbusiness.yahoo.com&#x2F;stores</a> literally 404s now), but it’s just so brazen in this article…<p>In the post-SV era, I hope we all take the time to consider what other stages of “success” there might be for software entrepreneurs other than raising money from rich gamblers. Like, say, product market fit, profitability, or user satisfaction. Hell, maybe even “did I make the world a better place?”<p>Tech is changing, but we lucky few in the puzzle-solver class still have an unusually high degree of access to power and autonomy, for now at least; I encourage us to use that to dream a little bigger. If you asked Paul Graham what he’s most proud of, I doubt he’d say “making millions of dollars”, anyway!
