Placidly uncaring since long ago as I stopped consuming media full stop.

Yes! This seems to be a really neat combination of 2010's Bayesian cleverness / Tenenbaumian program search approaches with the LLMs as merely sources of high-dim conditional distributions. I knew people were experimenting in this

There's this one GitS (SAC I think) UI thing that I think about pretty often: a bot needs to work faster so its fingers pop open revealing a huge number of additional cursed sub-fingers, such that it can type on a keyboard massively fa

Nah, you have to write cute little LLMs that grind leetcode for you...

And that’s an inclusive “or”, mind you-- I remember an Al-Jazeera news story that opened with the line “Some say the new measures go too far… but do the new measures go far enough?”

This is a near-meaningless statistic for evaluating the health of the environment, obviously. Maximizing the coverage of intact ecologies supporting biodiversity should be the management objective. The problem here is that you can plant mor

It's not pretty, but, everything else seems like a toy for children by comparison.

Note the question mark in the OP’s comment. Also, pretty sure the e-ink limitation is common knowledge on HN. Yep, HN is amazing.

This sort of reminds me of what happened to the Slashdot... everyone was playing video games, hacking with Arduinos, doing silly things with homelabs, arguing about OS X vs. Linux, etc. and then suddenly so many people in the community mov

I was vacationing in Mammoth one time and started reading about the geology... quite a shock to find that basically everything to the east is a giant caldera [1]. Also 760,000 years ago is really quite recent on geologic time scales. [1] h

Besides the author’s v points about the poor working conditions, I was struck by the points about transit costs. I am curious how much of the current labor situation in the US can be explained by the combination of 1) geographic wealth segr

Obfuscating the total cost when the consumer is making decisions—-the menu price is like the listed price in Google Flights, then taxes and tips are kind of like the baggage and seat fees on low cost airlines.

Kiwi used to have this in their map view -- you could select a very large circular region regardless of country as the origin -- but it seems like they got rid of it. This was by far the most useful tool to identify cheap segments and cut d

Risk $1.3b on an unproven design by an eccentric amateur that has some pretty clear shortcomings in "user experience" for the *vast majority* of users? I can't believe UCSB leadership is still seriously considering this rathe

Similarly naive follow-up: how much hay is needed per animal per month, assuming no other sources of food? (or does one always provide hay plus something else?)

I took up large format film two years ago and I’ve found it to be extremely rewarding. Film has a different response to light than digital sensors, the size of the negative lets you do things you can’t with digital, and then there are camer

This was originally reported by Bloomberg and then the Boston Globe, https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/07/29/business/wealthy-amer... To my knowledge, Bermuda Post is not a real journalistic organization

I find nothing more disturbing than an invertebrate eating a vertebrate. It happens but it shouldn’t.

I find it interesting how this is premised on the "one big claim per paper" model, which for better or worse seems increasingly common. In my experience a lot of 60's-90's research is of the form "the results of our

A lot of academics and scientists I know dislike TED talks. First the name means (T)echnology, (E)ntertainment, and (D)esign -- which are all proximal to, but quite different from, actual science. If anything, it turns science into consumer

I've read that quality is largely limited by optics, and optics are limited by space in the MacBook line (just a few mm). Not sure why Apple wouldn't improve it on the iMac (a few cm depth to work with!).
