The incompatibility was very much intended, Sun needed a way to compete with linux and didn't want to be assimilated into the linux ecosystem, so they released opensolaris under CDDL instead of GPL or MIT. Oracle haven't re-licensed it for their own reasons.

Rooms designed for presentations often don’t have windows so that they can be easily darkened for projectors to work better. Where I grew up, it was quite common for classrooms to have an overhead projector [1] equipped with a long scroll of transparent film. The instructor would give their lecture sitting at the projector and writing on the film instead of at a blackboard.

Yea. Releasing such articles is irresponsible journalism, I'd put it in the same category as fear-mongering.
I'm not sure I understand, while I can follow the logic that grammatically correct might make in easier to remember, doesn't using uncommon vocabulary and, by modern standards, strange structure defeat the whole point?

> Jacquette Brandtr Johm the Pectus of Barnsdall doubted Glenn Gay Gregg and 12 noisy stoats

As a non-native English speaker Brandtr doesn't look like an English word, Johm looks like a typo, Jacquette looks French (and contains a cluster of four letters for a single k sound) and I wasn't sure what a stoat was (my first guess was a type of goat).

I definitely find orf's version a lot more practical.
"[..] countries with easy income from significant natural resource wealth actually experience worse development outcomes."

They develop worse outcomes because all the profit goes to a few extractive elites in the country and in foreign powers.

Foreign aid has, I think, a very efficient path to try: just give unconditional money, not strings attached, to the poorest people of the country. You are helping the people that more need it, they know exactly what they need, and they will expend the money in the local economy. See for instance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GiveDirectly

Fascinating idea.

I've noticed it for a couple of years or more now. I figured most readers of HN have also noticed it, so I thought I would throw it out there to see if my observation was shared or not.

I know that people cycle through moods in their lives. I also know that people require some amount of drama in order to feel as if they have meaning (Even/especially people who say they don't like drama). Doomscrolling and the associated content promotion, curation, and aggregation probably tap into that primal need.

The internet at scale and the associated Markov-chain-like content selection and promotion we're seeing is hacking the species in some very significant and unexplored ways. Between the folks completely in denial and those claiming that the end is near, there needs to be some real philosophy and science going on (I don't think either one by itself is going to help much since this is a completely new area of intellectual exploration)

What you're referring to is HLS, HTTP Live Streaming - where HTTP-based adaptive bitrate streaming.

BunnyCDN which the author is recommending does support the HLS protocol. What isn't stated is if there's any specific steps to achieve that.

You're right though, the author didn't factor this as a requirement to their needs.

You got lucky; your post is why people pick Robinhood and day trading over the long-term one. It's survivorship bias. For every success story like yours, there's at least one - probably more - that lost three-quarters of what they put in.

Oh and note that this:

>> GPT-3 can also finally do arithmetic, something GPT-2 was unable to do well.

Is a preposterous claim that is very poorly supported by the data in the GPT-3 paper [1]. Figure 3.10 in the paper summarises the results. The authors tested addition between two to five digits, subtraction between two to five digits and multiplication between two digits drawn uniformly at random from [0,100]. There was also a composite task of addition, subtraction and multiplication with single-digit numbers (e.g. 6+(4*8), etc).

On all tasks, other than two and three digit addition and subtraction, accuracy was uniformly under 20%. The other four tasks achieved high accuracy with more parameters.

Of course, this doesn't show that the larger models "learned arithmetic". Two- and three-digit addition and subtraction are likely to be much better represented in a natural language dataset than other operations (and note of course the conspicuous absence of division). So it's safe to assume that the model has seen all the operations it's asked to repeat and knows their results by heart. Remember that for two and three digit addition and subtraction one only needs a dataset with the numbers up to 999, which is really tiny and easy to memorise.

Edit: the authors note that they "spot checked" whether the model is simply memorising results, by searching for three-digit addition examples in their dataset. Out of 2000 three-digit addition problems they failed to find more than 17% in their dataset which "suggests" that the model had not ever seen the problems before. Or, it "suggests" the search was not capable of finding many more existing matches. In any case, why only "spot-check" three-digit addition? Who knows. The paper doesn't say. Certainly, one- and two-digit addition and subtraction should be much more common in a natural language dataset. The authors also say that the model often makes mistakes such as not carrying a one, so it must be actually performing arithmetic! Or, it's simply reproducing common arithmetic mistakes in its dataset. Overall, this sort of "testing" of arithmetic prowess simply doesn't cut the mustard.

Edit 2: Also, no information about how many arithmetic problems of each type were tried. One? Ten? One hundred? Where all arithmetic tasks tested with the same number of problems? Unknown.

My point is that if the leak is a grand total of "1kb of user logs", it may not be the sort of log you're assuming. If the leak is a 1 kb list of valid usernames and password hashes, how does prove they were violating their "no log" policy? It just proves they were doing access control, which we knew anyway.
> that it’s possible for a model to someday reach human levels of generalization in NLP

Fully disagree. There is no evidence that we are now closer to human level text understanding than before GPT-3. Yes, GPT-3 produces grammatically correct sentences but it still can't form a coherent idea or meaning and express it in sentences afterwards - that's what humans would do. GPT-3 is just better at obfuscating that the model has no clue what it's talking about.

Nevertheless, compared with Eliza or other bots from 1960-2000 we made remarkable progress.

Yes, English had crazy fertility rate. At the begining of the Hundred Years’ War France had population of 17 million and Britain(excluding Ireland) had 4 million. By the time of Napoleonic wars Britain(with Ireland) had 17 million people compared with 30 million in France. English also had much higher emigration rate to colonies.

When the First World War started UK had a larger population than France.

The comment I responded to was asking “what can Chinese people get in the West that they can’t get in China”.

My point is that whatever it is, it’s not material goods. It’s something more ephemeral. Whether that’s democracy, creativity, or simply a slower pace of life due to not competing with 1 billion other people - who knows.
> The f32 registers are already hooked up to i32 ALUs.

Technically they are. Practically many CPUs, especially older one, have non-trivial latency cost for passing a value between FP and integer ALUs, like couple of cycles each direction.

Ever wondered why there're 3 sets of bitwise instructions, e.g. pandn, andnps, andnpd which do exactly same thing with the bits in these registers? Now you know.
I think they are missing three zeros... closer to 4.4m millionaires, iirc.
actually, this IS the point of learning FP. it's a different way of thinking about programming and it offers you a new way (often a more elegant) of doing things.

it's usually worth the effort. writing code in a functional way (even without a functional programming language) simplifies testing, often improves program stability and robustness. the more side-effect-free or pure blocks you have in your code, the easier you can build a composable or a concurrent program. basically, most of the principles of good software development (SOLID, DRY, KISS, ...) are native to FP.
Exactly. Most competitors have plastic, but when there's an article criticizing capsule coffee machines, it's always about Nespresso or with a picture of Nespresso pods.
Also very possible.
There is one difference in Rust: they are so confident of their memory model, panic!() only kills the current thread. The exception is if it happens in the main thread it kills everything.

In Samsung's case, if they put the parsing of the telemetry config xml file in a separate thread the default Rust behaviour is not to kill the entire thing. Sending the telemetry back to servers sounds like something you would do in a separate thread, so perhaps it would have saved them.

Other languages with similarity strong memory models like Java / Python / Haskell could do the same thing of course. And in those languages programmer could just emulate it in any case. C / C++ with their weak memory models could not sanely do it. A programmer could emulate it in those languages by using separate processes if the OS supported it, but they would have to forgo shared memory.

Not a huge difference perhaps - but Rust's strong memory model does buy you something.

It's not, however, you need access to starting capital and patience. Wealth begets wealth with this strategy, but you'll only become a millionaire using this tactic if you can put in a significant amount.

The S&P tripled in value since 2010, so you would've had to invest $333.000 at that time and cash out now to become a millionaire. But few people have that. That's a 1%, I already made my fortune / I have rich parents privilege.

Sure, ANY amount you put in there would've gotten tripled, but turning $1000 into $3000 isn't going to make that big a difference.

And if you have hundreds of thousands lying around, I'd argue that buying a house would be more beneficial for your well-being in the short term.

Disclaimer: I've invested some money in the past, both low-risk long-term stuff, index funds, and 'play money' into meme funds like Apple and Tesla. I think at most I've doubled what I put in? Didn't lose money (even with the rona), that's for sure.

I try to not go "I should've done x" too much though, like "I shouldn't have sold my handful of $250 Tesla stocks when I did".
Well it's pretty difficult to avoid paying sales tax on the major ecommerce platforms now in many if not all major markets. So they will receive their taxes as normal. Instead of best buy, it will be more mailing depots & amazon sending them sales tax without the cost of providing services to those big retail centers. We don't even know if those warehouses will have many jobs, since amazon is pushing towards automating them more and more.

Suburbia also costs more to service from a cities perspective, with more pavement, miles of sewer pipes and so on, so we might very well see suburbs get more expensive than the cities too, since revenue starts becoming more about how many people live in a city vs the location of retail centers.

For the past month I have been reading Sylvia Plath's biography and works. I decided to document what I had learnt about her. I created a sort-of wiki page of her in my personal notes app. But then I went to the actual page and found the same information there.

Far Cry 6 and the problem of continuity
But they do; sure, they spend heaps on shit like houses and cars and parties and vacations or whatever other hobbies they have, but most of their money is in their companies, stocks, stock options, tax havens, etc. At some point they reach a critical mass where no matter how much they splurge, they will never see their wealth decline. At best the companies / stocks they own will lose some value, but they will NEVER feel that in their wallet.

And some will set up a charity, but people like Bill Gates have never spent a significant portion of their wealth on that. Again though, that may be a logistical problem - they can't spend money fast enough whilst not splurging it.

Of course, the solution is simple; have the companies pay their staff better. Or give the staff stocks themselves, to be force-bought by the employer when they leave / get fired, and have it pay out dividends monthly to stipend their base income. This gives the employees representation in the board of directors as well, which is much needed in the modern capitalist system.
I thought I was pretty reserved. While I believe this is enslavement, I explicitly talked about the moral ambivalencey of it when it comes to animals.

I didn't advocate a black and white approach of, using animals=evil.

I agree with most of what you say, I just think we should always ask ourselves these questions instead of blindly admiring the technical achievement, comfort, etc.

It's a matter of respect for the universe, part of the respect is aknoweldging that killing is part of this universe, but we should be thoughtful about it. And understand necessities vs excessiveness. It seems you do purposely think about these things, so I've got no qualms with you :)

I hope I'v made myself clearer.
