41,809,700 | comment | ttul | 2024-10-11T14:20:30 | null | I have grown to love markdown in the past year. It is just expressive enough without being burdensomely complex. I appreciate the ability to switch between WYSIWYG and plain text editing modes to achieve precision. In contrast to pure-WYSIWYG editors like Google Docs, the formatting can’t get totally hosed in markdown because you can always dip under the hood and fix stuff.<p>I just wish every rich text editor had accessible markdown… | null | null | 41,808,943 | 41,808,943 | null | [

Why not last year? Why not ten years ago? What success have they even had? Considering where we are right now.
This isn't a group making an impact on the ground anywhere right now.

41,809,713 | comment | jhj | 2024-10-11T14:21:37 | null | Aiming for higher occupancy is not always a desired solution, what frequently matters more is avoiding global memory latencies by retaining more data in registers and/or shared memory. This was first noted in 2010 and is still true today:<p><a href="https://www.nvidia.com/content/gtc-2010/pdfs/2238_gtc2010.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://www.nvidia.com/content/gtc-2010/pdfs/2238_gtc2010.pd...</a><p>I would also think in terms of latency hiding rather than just work parallelism (though latency hiding on GPUs is largely because of parallelism). This is the reason why GPUs have massive register files, because unlike modern multi-core CPUs, we omit latency reducing hardware (e.g., speculative execution, large caches, that out-of-order execution stuff/register renaming etc) and in order to fill pipelines we need to have many instructions outstanding, which means that the operands for those pending arguments need to remain around for a lot longer, hence the massive register file. | null | null | 41,809,498 | 41,808,013 | null | [

41,809,716 | comment | soulofmischief | 2024-10-11T14:21:40 | null | Nanda, et al. successfully recovered the exact mechanism through which a transformer learned to carry out modular addition. [0] Transformers are all about the training data, and we will increasingly learn that structuring the order in which data is learned matters a lot. But it's clear that transformers are absolutely capable of encoding generalized solutions to arithmetic.<p>Given the right tokenization scheme and training regimen, we can absolutely create LLMs which have statistically sound arithmetic capabilities. I still wouldn't trust a stochastic model over the algorithmic certainty of a calculator, but what's more important for mathematicians is that these models can reason about complex problems and help them break new ground on hard mathematical problems by leveraging the full statistical power of their weights.<p>[0] <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.05217" rel="nofollow">https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.05217</a> | null | null | 41,809,557 | 41,808,683 | null | null | null | null |
41,809,717 | comment | bccdee | 2024-10-11T14:21:43 | null | I was familiar with Ada, but I wasn't aware that it had an ownership system like Rust that could guarantee memory safety. So I looked it up, and the first result was a paper called "Safe Dynamic Memory Management in Ada and SPARK" [1]. Here's a quote (emphasis mine):<p>> In this work, we propose a restricted form of pointers for Ada that is safe
enough to be included in the SPARK subset. As our main contribution, we
show <i>how to adapt the ideas underlying the safe pointers from permission-based
languages like Rust or ParaSail, to safely restrict the use of pointers in
more traditional imperative languages like Ada.</i> In section 2, we provide rationale
for the rules that we propose to include in the next version of Ada, which takes
into account specifics of Ada such as by-copy/by-reference parameter passing
and exception handling. In section 3, we outline how these rules make it possible
to formally verify SPARK programs using such pointers. Finally, we present
related work and conclude.<p>> Section 2: A Proposal for Ownership Types in Ada<p>If Ada and SPARK are now taking inspiration from Rust with regard to safe memory management, I think that's enough to demonstrate that Rust's ownership system is substantially novel, relative to Ada and SPARK. | null | null | 41,807,486 | 41,766,293 | null | null | null | null |

41,809,736 | comment | nickpp | 2024-10-11T14:24:24 | null | We are learning and teaching machines. We can't help influencing and being influenced. Any interaction we have with another human being will influence us. Reading a book, an article or a simple blog or forum post will influence my mind. A lesson or a chat will influence me. Even a smell or a color will generate thoughts and actions in me. We can't help it - they are using the same mechanism we use for learning and without that we can't survive.<p>But does that mean that they control me? Only if this information comes from only one side and is well integrated in my regular trusted information streams overwhelming my defenses. Like propaganda. Or a Guru. Or an academic institution.<p>Ads on the other hand are quite easily defeated because they are both clearly delimited and coming from numerous, competing directions. In a world without Ads I would be very vulnerable to them. In our world though they are reduced to a more utilitarian function: to inform me. They tell me what options are out there, what is available and how to get it if I so choose.<p>I don't think they can "make me" do anything against my own interest or even change my mind.

41,809,753 | story | rstnpce | 2024-10-11T14:26:35 | Show HN: Addicted to Learning | Isn’t it strange how we can spend hours mindlessly scrolling through social media, yet struggle to focus for even a fraction of that time on learning something meaningful?<p>Why is it easier to absorb endless streams of stupid content than to invest in something that can truly enrich us?<p>Obviously, we get constant dopamin hits with the former and the latter feels like effort, right?<p>Wrong!<p>I mean, think about it, when you finally understand a math problem and get that AHA-moment, this is the biggest hit of dopamin you can ever imagine, no?<p>So, if you ask me, the biggest difference between being addicted to learning vs. social media is the delay of gratification.<p>Also, social algorithms know you very well. They know exactly when it’s time to show you something that you like to keep you engaged.<p>Luckily, the same applies to resourceful content. If you interact with that 2h every day, an algo trained on your behavior also knows the ins- and outs of how you learn and get to your small and big AHA-moment the quickest.<p>So, who’s building this?<p>We do. It’s called evulpo.<p>A learning companion that delivers aha-moments for K-12 students. We source the content from the teachers, run it through our algorithm, and provide it to each student in a way where they learn best (i.e., get the AHA-moment).<p>Thoughts? And also, how can we make it work in the US? | https://evulpo.com/en/uk | 2 | null | 41,809,753 | 3 | [

There're so many Markdown editors, choice paralysis easily kicks in.<p>Markdown ist basically a must have for me though, because I know most applications will be outlived by my notes, and I want to be able to move on to a different editor. To try a new one, or even use multiple at the same time (say, on my phone and on my computer), it's unacceptable for me if I have to export and import all my notes first and risking diverging branches.<p>In general I think taking notes is a very personal thing many people do every day and they're looking for an app fitting their exact workflow. That's why there are so many options. I was considering writing my own one several times already, although it's probably not worth the time. | null | null | 41,809,587 | 41,808,943 | null | [

41,809,762 | story | garshythoel | 2024-10-11T14:27:26 | Show HN: I made a Smart Calendar – E-Paper Based, Useful AI, Firmware Access | Hi HN!<p>My name is Harsh and I've made a Smart Calendar that lives on your desk and syncs with your favorite calendar and task apps. Inku was created to do three things: Be useful, be smart, and be joyful - and that's it. It's mostly a passive device meant to be in your work/home space and not whine for your attention. It started out as a personal project but eventually ended up doing a small alpha test after interest from friends and people on the internet - we’ve now gone all out with a crowdfunding campaign.<p>The Inku Smart Calendar:
Uses Spectra 6 spec E-Paper
Connects to the major calendar/todo app providers
Has AI summaries
Has a bit of a personality<p>I personally hate having to pull out my phone for mundane things like knowing my schedule for the day and it's even more annoying when (even w/ the notifications) - i still end up missing things. Inku was made because i've loved using paper/pen/whiteboards my whole life but the manual upkeep - as life has gotten busier - has become harder.<p>This is without the screen strain headaches as well. I have a core belief/aspiration for information to be ambient and around us without locked away behind glass rectangles. One major wave of this is happening via AR/VR - but i personally prefer the not strapping it to my face way of going about it (No hate, I own an Oculus haha).<p>Inku has no notifications, no speakers and only updates once or twice an hour (only if there's something on your schedule). That said…<p>I know the design won't work for everyone - it’s definitely not…minimalist - and that there's plenty Inku could be improving on other aspects.<p>Disclaimer: But what if it's vaporware…it is Kickstarter.<p>Indeed, valid skepticism - we actually already have done a fully functional alpha test with about 5 people, i primarily made it for myself but ended up making a few more when i found that people were interested in having their own - you can find some of the context in my twitter threads. This is more of a productionizing push rather than an Idea. That said there is always a risk w/ Kickstarter products not shipping.<p>We also plan to open up the firmware in case people would like to make use of their own endpoints/flash their own firmware + open up integrations code on the server for the community to create their own data sources.<p>I hope that Inku may be interesting for some of the people here! Feel free to ask any questions - i'll be responding!<p>You can find most information on the Kickstarter.<p>Also, Our feature requests and roadmap are public - you can add/comment/upvote on them here: <a href="https://inkboard.canny.io/inku-feature-requests" rel="nofollow">https://inkboard.canny.io/inku-feature-requests</a><p>Thank you for your time and attention! | https://get.inkboard.ink/ | 5 | null | 41,809,762 | 4 | [

41,809,764 | comment | parsimo2010 | 2024-10-11T14:27:50 | null | I won't take a strong stance on whether or not LLMs actually do reasoning, but I will say that this decrease in performance is similar to what I see in college freshmen (I'm currently teaching a calculus course in which almost half of the students took AP calc in high school). They perform well on simple questions. Requiring students to chain multiple steps together, even simple steps, results in decreased accuracy and higher variance (I have no data on whether this decrease is linear or not, as the paper assumes that the decrease should be linear with the number of steps). We see similar results with adding unrelated statements into a problem- many students are trained to make sure to use all given information in solving a problem- if you leave out something that the instructor gives you, then you probably forgot to do something important.<p>So while I don't take a stance on what an LLM does should be considered reasoning, I do think that SOTA LLMs like GPT-4o perform about as good as high school graduates in America with average intelligence. In other words, average Americans exhibit similar limitations on their reasoning as good LLMs. Which on the one hand is a little disappointing to me in terms of the human performance but is kind of good news for LLMs- they aren't doing graduate-level research but they are already capable of helping a large portion of the population. | null | null | 41,808,683 | 41,808,683 | null | [

41,809,765 | comment | pluto_modadic | 2024-10-11T14:27:54 | null | so.... if I initially got the key "foo" at time T=00:00:00, this library would re-query the backing system until time T=00:00:60? even if I requery it at T=:01? vs... being a write-through cache? I guess you're expecting other entries in the DB to go around the cache and update behind your back.<p>if you are on that threshold window, why not a period where the stale period is okay?
T0-60 seconds, use the first query (don't retrigger a query)
T60-120 seconds, use the first query but trigger a single DB query and use the new result.
repeat until the key is stale for 600 seconds.<p>that is, a minimum of 2 queries (the first preemptive one at 60 seconds, (in the cache for 10 minutes total)<p>and a maximum of 11 queries (over 10 minutes) (the initial one that entered the key, and if people ask for it once a minute, a preemptive one at the end of those minutes, for 20 minutes total in the cache). | null | null | 41,809,262 | 41,809,262 | null | [

As the parent comment said this is pretty easy to generate test data for (and for the model to pattern match against) so maybe that is what they did.<p>A better test of “reasoning” would be to isolate the concept/algorithm and generate novel instances that are completely textually different from existing problems to see if the model really isn’t just pattern matching.

You seem to be listing basic uses for a fundamental data structure.<p>You said you were using it for a "key-value store". If all you need is a key value lookup, all you need is a hash map.<p>When it comes to concurrency the difference is even more pronounced because hash maps can have lots of concurrent IO due to working on different parts of memory that are mostly independent of each other while a sorted data structure is going to have to move things around, which means more atomic swapping, which means more chances for collisions or race conditions where other threads are going to have to retry their compare and swaps or back off and try parts of their operation again. | null | null | 41,806,303 | 41,798,475 | null | null | null | null |
