> Benefit of the doubt says that they thought they were publishing privately.

In what world is pushing your source code to a venture backed (therefore viral growth oriented) company who promote themselves with "npm Inc supports the JavaScript community by providing the registry where developers publish and share packaged open-source modules" possibly consistent with a view that "they thought they were publishing privately"???

Sorry, but I just don't buy that.

Somebody at the bank fucked up. It cannot possibly be npm Inc's responsibility to detect and somehow police that.
> What’s their monopoly on? Serious question. Too many people like using fb so we break them up? lolwut.

Yes, basically. Or at least, they have a partial monopoly on social media.

> Is fb actively stifling competition?

They've been buying competitors. That's classic monopolistic behavior to stifle competition.

> Is there a market failure?

Pretty damn close. Even Google couldn't moose its way in.
Pre-industrial society was a shithole for most people compared to the present. And I’m not basing that on metrics like literacy or access to political franchise. I’m talking about things like “how likely are you to bury half your children?”, and “how likely are you to be raped or murdered?” We’ve made ourselves so comfortable now (which is great) that we’ve forgotten how unusual our circumstances are and lost interest in how we created them.

It’s not a comment on the intelligence of the average historical person, or the richness of their emotional life. It’s just an acknowledgement that the tools we used to try to improve our lot for most of human history (including “common sense”) were not very successful, at least compared to the ones we’re using now.
A couple years after Prop 13 was enacted in 1978, the California legislature approved of Mello-Roos Community Facilities District taxes in 1982. They exist on top of regular property taxes (they do not replace them). While I agree with your narrative that it's hard for California to raise property taxes (beyond two percent per year), CFD's help bring in new property tax revenue to ease the gap.
Listening to this it would seem there’s only horrible extortional companies to work for. If you stay away from FAANG you’re already a lot better off.

There’s a lot of traditional industries that do not exploit people or paychology any more than they’ve been doing for hundreds of years. Those companies need programmers as well.

You won’t get your FAANG salary, but that is the sacrifice you make. No need to give up on IT altogether.
thanks for your reply, and I appreciate that you share your reasoning here.

However, this still sounds incredibly entitled and arrogant to me. Nobody doubts that there are many very smart and capable people working for OpenAI. Are you really expecting to beat the return of the most successful start-ups todate by orders of magnitude and to be THE company developing the first AGI? (And even in this -for me- extremely unlikely case, the cap would most likely don't matter, as if a company would develop an AGI worth trillions the government/UN would have to tax/license/regulate it.)

Come on, you are deceiving yourself (and your employees apparently as well, the Twitter you quoted is a good example). This is a non-profit pivoting into a normal startup.

Edit: Additinally it's almost ironic, that "Open"AI now takes money from Mr. Khosla, who is especially known for his attitude towards "Open".
Sorry if I sound bitter, but I was really rooting for you and the approach in general and I am absolutely sure that OpenAI has become something entirely different now :/..
Great Idea! I hope you have much success!
In your case, the robotic surgery might be okay. The article is concerned with robotic surgery being performed on cancer patients, which has not been approved by the FDA.
Small Suggestion

In the `POST /prompt` endpoint provide a way to pass metadata that does not need to be shown to the user, and return that back in the prompt answer object sent in the webhook/callback.

This is helpful in cases, where I want to send some internal transaction or event reference codes that will help me to properly co-relate the answer into my flow.

Best of luck!

Anecdotally, my grocery bill is about $20 cheaper per week if I can find everything I need for the week at Aldi, versus Safeway or Giant (local grocers in the area). Mileage may vary, of course--there's usually something I need that they don't have, which requires a trip elsewhere. Produce is usually their biggest shortcoming.
If rent goes up too high, and businesses cannot afford to raise wages to keep up, units will go unfilled, and they'll pivot downwards again.
Tim Berners-Lee says we all must act to save the web
I don't think it makes it look like it's not happening, but it is easier to manage some things at higher levels than others. If you're a business, every single governmental entity you have to deal with adds complexity into the system. You need to keep track of various sales taxes, regulations, etc. Increasing the number of jurisdictions you have to deal with increases the complexity quite a bit.

To reduce that complexity, you might get a lot of jurisdictions to band together and decide 'hey, businesses must interact with us via this standard way we all agree on." Congratulations, they have just created a government.

I think managing this complexity is incredibly difficult, no matter which strategy is used, and I don't think there is any one strategy available that solves these problems.

In some cases, it makes sense to keep the jurisdictions as small as possible. In other cases, the opposite is true, especially when considering things related to the Problem of the Commons and the like.
You can't, as seen in the case of orphan works, which are often lost because the author is unknown, so nobody can use them.
One example of trolling is when someone posts into a thread a 'truth' while calling others liars, then not providing any evidence of that 'truth' when asked.

So either you are trolling, or you'll be so kind as to actually post the arguments for why Facebook is a monopoly so we can ensure we're discussing under a shared context.
Trump budget seeks cuts in science funding
What's impressive to me is you (and so many others) being charitable enough to assume that the original developer didn't intentionally publish this package.

Some bank developer (or more likely, some underpaid contractor) wants to share something between projects and doesn't want the hassle of proper channels, or just doesn't care enough and thinks "I'll publish this, who will ever find it?".

Years later someone stumbles upon it, maybe they don't even know who did it, "NPM why do you have our code?!?!?!?!"

This is the most likely scenario once you consider this was a bank. In which case there's nothing NPM could do. No warning would have changed their intent, they knew what they were signing up for.
Sorry, I should've been more clear. Both predictions for TF serving and panini serving was done in a single thread in the same specification machine. We used a simple model for image classification of CIFAR dataset. Roughly, 500 predictions were made for panini and 200 predictions for TF serving. The graph on the website is for throughput. I'm planning to write a medium post soon regarding the benchmark test. There are many other projects getting higher throughput compare to TF serving. I've heard TF Serving could be optimized to make it more efficient but making it more optimized is not documented properly. We're planning to make it open source if there is enough interest from the community!
This looks really cool. Although I'm not very familiar with React, I can provide some insight into the history of mixing GL/HTML content for anyone that's interested:

Three.js has had something called the CSS3DRenderer for like 5+ years now. It uses CSS 3D transformation effects to proportionally scale/distort HTML content to what the Three.js viewport is doing. It does most of the heavy lifting for you in terms of matrix math, but you still need to write a lot of glue code if you want a unified feel. I worked with it a lot in 2014, and it felt like alien technology at the time. Ultimately I settled on purely immediate mode though, because you can't apply custom post-process effects to DOM content beyond whatever CSS effects offer.

Famo.us as it originally existed launched in 2015 and was all about mixing WebGL/HTML content, but they pivoted shortly after launch. Some interesting developments came out of that, however:

Their VP of Product, Zach Brown, ended up founding Haiku in 2016, and their first product Animator[0] just officially launched for Mac. I view it as a more capable replacement for Adobe Edge, which was a fantastic little tool for animating HTML content. How flexible Animator actually is in terms of mixing GL/HTML content, I'm not sure. It'd probably need to take the modern Adobe Flash approach and decouple the tool output from the underlying client runtime to succeed at that.

Following the famo.us pivot, community members founded a project called Infamous with the goal of keeping the mixed content dream alive. While most people fell away, one person (Joe Pea) did stay the course and has spent the past few years since then developing Infamous[1], which is basically an entire framework built off the premise of mixing GL and HTML content.

I'm not sure if it's ready for prime time yet, but it sure looks good and I'm extremely impressed with Joe's perseverance. Just looking at the commit history messages, you can kind of get a feel for all the little issues that mixing GL and HTML content creates.

> Why aren’t these same people who are talking about science denial never speak up and make a fuss about the denial of climate change

This is called, in layman's terms, "whataboutism". I think each of us is free to pursue a primary interest, and the arguments need to be evaluated in themselves, not in relation to what else the person might be saying or not saying about some other topic.

Anyway, for me this is primarily about science. I can't see any validity in certain arguments and I abhor the idea (which seems to me the only possible justification for them) that we should choose our truths according to how much we like their consequences- real or imagined.

Or, let's put it this way: every time a scientist says that the study of nature provides support for one or another of our current moral values and ethical stances, I cringe.
Amazon doesn't like the direction that Elastic is headed, so they've forked ElasticSearch. They don't want to maintain and document it all by themselves, and they do want for their users to be able to run it themselves (especially for running it locally or on CI), so they've open sourced it.
Your comment is an identity function.
where are the facebook users going to?
A lot of articles on gender get the same flagging treatment. (FWIW Damore is far from uncontroversial here on HN.) I suspect sometimes the flagging treatment is because these articles can attract heated (often emotional) debate, and this might be why some flaggers flag them, to avoid that and just stick to tech stuff.

That said I’m always interested in seeing these articles and debates myself, mostly because it’s a pretty important issue in tech and we won’t resolve it if we don’t talk about it. But it’s hard to do.

This post may have survived this long just by luck, I wouldn’t read to much into it.

But you can certainly talk about it here now since this article is in response to your article. (One question I might’ve asked about your original would be, if male and female brains are really the same then how come rates of certain mental illnesses vary so much between the sexes?)

Edit: I realized I originally wrote “far from contoversial” it should be “uncontoversial” but I think that was understandabld from the context.
While everything he says is true, he doesn't really answer the question of whether users and startups are better off when platforms purchase other competitive platforms. In other words, should Facebook have been allowed to buy Instagram and WhatsApp? Are we better off because of that?

I agree that the presence of these platforms is great. I also believe in the benefit of M&A in general. But allowing platforms to consolidate by buying their direct competitors is a bit of a different matter.
That's a US comparison.

It's complicated to make cost comparisons - do you compare own brands or known brands, etc. But in the UK shoppers report Aldi and Lidl as being better value

What should be done in that case? posting a video in some ancient codec (VP9 is from 2012) to be 100% sure that everyone --sans Lynx users-- can play it?

Psychedelics are unpredictable. They can:

- Change your life for the better, like with your "friend".

- Fuck you up completely. It is rare and usually tied to preexisting conditions, but it happens.

- Give you a good, enjoyable, and rather inconsequential trip. I'd say it is by far the most common outcome, especially on low doses.

- Give you a horrible experience. It usually stops you from wanting to do any more psychedelics.

- Something else.

The problem, and the reason why they are not currently used in mainstream (scientific) medicine is that you don't know in advance which scenario will apply to you. Things like set and setting help but there is no sure fire technique.

Pretty genius strategy, she’ll also gain support from traditional media companies which have been battling Facebook lately.
That's good to hear. Presumably you're doing encryption at rest in addition to TLS. Can you talk about the constructions you've come up with to do that?
Sounds illegal/like a violation of TOS.
I don't think a person has to be super specific or say "I am interested in X and Y." What they do need is consistency in a resume so the reviewer/interviewer can evaluate what their primary and secondary focus areas are. Sometimes you have to leave stuff out. For example, Data Scientists typically don't deploy and maintain a Data Science stack unless it's a really small company. And a Data Science Infrastructure person at a bigger company probably isn't analyzing data unless they are just playing around to validate their stack.

But if you have a resume (or say this during an interview) that gives equal weight to the data analysis and the stack deployment, it's just confusing to the person reading it. Especially in Data Science, which already confusing from a skillset perspective. Lots of resumes look like the applicants just thought 10 things with minimal overlap were cool and decided to put them on their resume.

Even if you did work at a 5 person startup and had the unoffical title of "Data Scientist, Data Engineer, Data DevOps, DB Admin, and Chief Data Officer" I'd recommend you downplay some of those based on the jobs you are applying for. Figure out what is essential and what is +1
That is a fair point. I assume that they have different rules for the likes of Warren than they have for you. It is feasible, though, that this was caught in an algorithm and Facebook declined to volunteer that fact.
The model X does not look big when standing next to one. The first time I have seen one on the road, I was actually really surprised how small it was.
So not in the middle then. Amazon the bad guy here.
> But individual acts of sacrifice for the common good are not scalable in the same way, due to our inherent aversion to loss.

I submit that this is a convenient excuse. You have to be the change you want to see in the world. It is easy to say "yeah, I'm making things worse, but its ok because so is everyone else", and thus nothing changes.
This would be a wonderful topic for a blog post or article, if you’re ever interested!
Not sure I'd call it a cliff, I've never done video editing before and over the last two weeks I've create 3 videos using it and been pretty happy with it. I really want to try Davinci Resolve, but I'll need to try installing it again, had problems last time.
It doesn't make me lazy but I clearly feel different. The quantity makes some difference but still no matter how small the portions are the feeling is not the same as if I had no meat. I feel that being 100% vegan isn't healthy but I recommend to everyone to try go vegan for a couple of days and not take the current feeling for granted.
releasing "new features under a proprietary license" might be a smart business move, but let's not pretend that it's pro open source.
I somewhat agree with you. Someone who is spending time now studying jQuery and becoming proficient at developing web services would nessesarily not be able to keep up with the pace of deep learning. On the other hand, there are people that had managed to become relatively proficient at developing software a decade ago. And spend last decade at becoming proficient at deep learning.
Thanks! Bear in mind this is coming from a likely extremely low use user, but supporting links in the text that's sent may solve most problems other customisation would be used for when it comes to content (rather than look & feel).

FWIW, my current use-case I'd like to put in here is that I've got some auto-generated art based on user inputs that I'll be shipping off. There's some stuff that could go wrong, so having a final check before the order goes in would be great.

Currently the workflow would be

Auto generate

I check occasionally, manually set the order to go.

I'd like to change it to

Auto generate -> send me either the picture itself or a link to it, I hit approve/reject -> order completed automatically

For ~1 cent per order, it's not worth me even getting email alerting setup.
OT: One of the things I find interesting is that "zero knowledge" has become a buzzword. On the one hand it is frustrating, because when cryptographers say "zero knowledge" we mean something very specific and rigorously defined (a survey protocol cannot be zero knowledge because the results of a survey do reveal something about the respondents' inputs). On the other hand, the fact that non-experts are comfortable with the idea of using an interactive protocol to securely compute functions means there is one less mental hurdle to deal with when trying to deploy these technologies.
This would suggest Facebook supports censorship
1. Caching the input will save lots of time. Inputs are not unique each time. In a production environment, lots of inputs are the same. Many platforms in fact will do caching such as Algorithmia, TF Serving, and Sagemaker. If a time to do a search in Redis database is faster than forward pass, caching will reduce time dramatically. Watch my youtube video where I give an example.

2. It's up to you if you want to use it in GPU or CPU. Benchmark was done in a CPU but you're free to download panini via Helm and use GPU in your private kubernetes.

3. For now, during beta testing, we're offering free inference and there is a limit of model size cannot exceed over 2GB.

Hope this was helpful.
You can forcefully restate your opinions all day long, but facts are facts. The first world countries that offer socialized medicine do strictly better than the US on basically every metric. Pick one. Access to treatment? Better. Infant mortality? Better. Mothers mortality? Better. Life expectancy? Better (the US used to be 1 year above average, it's now 2 years below, and falling). Bankruptcies due to medical bills? Better. They’re also cheaper. Your opinions do not line up with reality.

America’s at the bottom of the OECD for many of these things, and at the top by a country mile for cost. [1]

There's no medicare statistics trickery lol, all those government services being leveraged have to do almost nothing incrementally to support medical fees. They're still collecting payroll taxes, they're still collecting income taxes, one way or the other. By your own measure this makes the work they do duplicative of the insurance industry making the insurance industry the wasteful one. This is also failing to take into account the waste of employers managing employee healthcare -- why on earth are they doing that?

OF COURSE medicare is expensive we already addressed that in another thread. The US doesn't have free market healthcare. The young, healthy and cheap are forced into expensive market plans, privatizing the gains, while the old, sick and poor are handed off to the government to look after, socializing the losses. It's absurd. The young, healthy and wealthy should be paying for the old, sick and poor. You can’t saddle the socialized program with all the worst customers, hamstring it’s ability to negotiate drug prices then point to how much it costs.

Doctors in Canada make hundreds of thousands of dollars per year providing socialized cover. They're civil servants. They do fine. So what if it's less than doctors are paid now, the question is are they compensated fairly, and they are.

Last I couldn’t help but notice you totally sidestepped my point about reduced costs by offering preventative care.

This seems odd, sort of paradoxical, since in the last 10 years San Francisco seems to be on a decline: not in the number of tech companies or new high rises being built, but in public health with the homeless population and cleanliness of streets — for the common person San Francisco is getting worse but VCs want to move there?

From what I can tell, Facebook did not take down all the ads Warren posted calling for the breakup of Facebook, there were specific ads which got flagged for use of the Facebook logo.

So it seems to me that Warren’s team when fishing for ads about breaking up Facebook which would flag in the automated system, and then ran to report about it.

It smells like a setup.
