I guess it depends how you think about it. From computational perspective, it's heavyweight. On the other hand, it really optimizes for minimal human effort, on several levels:

* GPT-3 is conceptually simple: the effort to invent it and engineer it amortizes well.

* Once the model is trained, it can be reused to very different tasks.

* Querying doesn't require programming knowledge.
A better analogy is the game is like a ride at a theme park. The theme park was built by Apple. Many companies can make games/rides for the theme park but must pay a share of revenue from each customer going on rides. You can go on a ride at the theme park but you pay an entrance fee for the theme park and you pay to go on the rides.

If this turns out to be easy and convenient, it won't matter whether the tech is overpowered.

A family car is really overpowered for most trips to the bakers.

Yet people take the car all the time, instead of walking or cycling, because it's just more convenient and easy, and people are lazy.

You can't write just this off as a stunt.

If you described how YouTube renders cat videos to Tim Berners Lee in the mid 90s, it would also seem like a 40-ton truck.

And yet here we are.
I think there are a couple of reasons to this:

1. Lack of expertise/interest, as you say. One root cause here is that there are many devs in web development who are self-taught, with no CS background.

2. Time pressure and contractual agreements: Things need to be finish ASAP to reduce cost, and implementation contracts usually state features and looks, but not performance or maintainability.

3. Many effects, such as sticky elements, couldn't be done in CSS just a few years ago, so devs got used to include libraries for these things. In fact, I think many modern CSS features got introduce because they were widely used, but with JS implementations.
You are looking at the wrong metrics. Capacities and efficiencies are interesting from a technical point of view. But the only metric that really matters is $/kwh of storage. And depending on where you are pumped hydro can be stupendously expensive and disruptive to the local environment or require expensive infrastructure to be put in place. Even just having access to water is a non trivial thing in a lot of places (e.g. deserts).

In some places pumped hydro does make sense of course but you have to compare basically on $/kwh what is the best solution taking into account the local environment. There are no silver bullets here. Which is why a lot of places seem to be ending up with lithium ion batteries, because they are there and can be put in place without a lot of fuss or rearranging of the local environment.
But there’s also a fair chance something will break and you can’t buy spare parts for museum pieces like this.
Sure it does, Apple has a cause of action against Epic for violating a contractual arrangement, which has nothing to do with anyone other than Epic and Apple. The only caveat is that the contractual relationship in question might be found to be illegal. But it's not as though this isn't a case between Apple and Epic about a contract dispute.
How WebAssembly Changes Software Distribution
Thanks for the great insights.

As a specialist, do you partner with large firms like Accenture, Deloitte, etc? Or 2nd tier firms? And how formal do these partnerships need to be (ie word of mouth, contract)?

I simply don't recognize the article's analysis of why we read. I read (voraciously) during my 'downtime': in bed before sleeping, sitting on the toilet, during lunchbreaks. Often the times that a lot of people are game-playing/watching youtube/scrolling FB. I'm not aspiring to "know everything" or to appear to be an "intelligent person". I think reading a lot is just a habit.

It may be that I'd be better off reading less, and having more of my own thoughts. But I find it enjoyable, and after I've read a book I generally feel like it was a net gain, and not a time-suck (like the aimless surfing I can sometimes be diverted into). In any case I certainly don't identify with any need to read a few carefully curated books to "be shaped – deeply shaped in [my] capacity to live and die well".

I read history, popular nature books, novels, classics, travel - so there's no pattern or attempt to 'better' myself. It's just fun and passes the time better than sitting on the john and scrolling a meaningless feed.
Ask HN: What CLI tools do you use often during your day?
Yes, just like I don't have a say in what the supermarket around the corner decides to sell, besides taking the effort to go somewhere else.

Or what goes into each game console, my cable provider installs on their set top box, and so on.
Yeah so there are few dozens of ways people are getting spammed, why not lets add more ways. Here's an Idea let me write a blog post on how to make windows look cooler and ask my 12YO user to point me to their windows directory and let me use my API to inject my DLLs, none of the defenders of this API are not estimating the level of social engineering, and how dumb users can be, and also the reason why Android failed in terms of privacy.

a) doesn't really seem a fair representation:

UN Special Rapporteur on Torture, Nils Melzer, speaks in detail about the explosive findings of his investigation into the case of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.:

https://www.republik.ch/2020/01/31/nils-melzer-about-wikilea...

(someone linked to this in yesterdays comments its an amazing read though depressing)

b) He is being detained in a way that is regarded inhumane, but its still better than being epsteined.

Assange may be a bit of a greaser, he may be an egotist, he may be lacking in social skills - he may even be wanting to be famous for his work in a way that makes him an arse personally... but i still want our legal systems to be fair and my government not commit war crimes and openly investigate any accusation of them.

Also note that i firmly believe that if any commenter on this site was to be the target of such a campaign that we would all look like scumbags when scrutinised with such bias.
I get around 42 FPS on an old iPhone SE, still a great phone!
In India iOS has 2-3% market share.
We all sometimes buy products that are of partial value for us, but that doesn't break the logic for those who value an entire product. Problems arise only when we try to sit on two different chairs at the same time.

Right now I am experimenting with an android phone, and its hardware is not bad (very good) for its 0.3x price of an actual iphone with similar specs. It also allows all that "control over the device" that everyone wants here. But after an iphone I don't really feel that I'm finally free. It is a constant fight for privacy, for being adfree, for apps that do not abuse permissions and/or "cloudness", etc. I wait for a new iphone because I got nothing out of promises of a freedom that android users around told me with an excitement. It is basically the same brick, but with a jerky scroll and an ability to install ads and low-functional spyware after hours of searching and comparison.
If you allow me to ignore the slippery slope argument, the typical justification given for extrajudicial killing (clear and immediate threat) at the very least, makes this a not-so black and white issue.

FYI you're competing with services that come to you, such as

- Smartbox

You're probably already aware of those, but heads up just in case.

Also, since they are mobile, the long term storage doesn't need premium real estate / to be close to the customer.
You could have a small rom firmware validating a larger ugradable firmware.
The network improvements are not only slower but also increasingly non-uniform as the limits of long copper are reached.

It's the problem with averages again, which are significantly inflated by a minority with ever increasing broadband speeds. It's easy to improve a select few areas to extreme; but hard to improve for the majority. I suspect pointing at figures of increasing averages to justify larger assets is part of the problem.
That is a very deep question.

> the sense of anger and retribution was shared internationally

Speaking from South America, I can asure you that the general opinion of 9/11 was that the US had asked for it and that there are only so many countries you could bomb for oil before one of them decides to fight back.

Sure, our government sent a statement of solidarity and no one was happy that it happened. But I am having a hard time thinking of someone other than the US who was truly, angrily calling for retribution.
The big downside for me having a small child at home is that I could not concentrate on a task for more than half and hour, which is essential for research work. I had to go over stuff again and again because once my thoughts broken I need to follow long trails to pick it up again. I enjoy spending time with family but I have a real urge for uninterrupted work now.
Can you name anyone who's done more to revolutionize journalism in the last 20 years than Julian Assange? The sheer number and impact of the scoops he's released is orders of magnitude beyond what any other journalist I can think of has done.
Isn't that exactly what I wrote?
It's really hard to get to the facts of these drone cases because every military aged male automatically gets classified as enemy combatant unless intelligence proves after the fact that they were innocent. Most news sources will blindly accept the definition of enemy combatant provided by the government so there is minimal uproar.

I would trust Mr Kareem over the US government on this because it fits the pattern of how the drone wars work.

For a good source on this issue I would recommend:

The Assassination Complex: Inside the Government's Secret Drone Warfare Program by Jeremy Scahill

or the Drone Papers from the intercept which were the basis for the book.

>"The White House and Pentagon boast that the targeted killing program is precise and that civilian deaths are minimal. However, documents detailing a special operations campaign in northeastern Afghanistan, Operation Haymaker, show that between January 2012 and February 2013, U.S. special operations airstrikes killed more than 200 people. Of those, only 35 were the intended targets. During one five-month period of the operation, according to the documents, nearly 90 percent of the people killed in airstrikes were not the intended targets. In Yemen and Somalia, where the U.S. has far more limited intelligence capabilities to confirm the people killed are the intended targets, the equivalent ratios may well be much worse."

Exactly. Europa Universalis 4 feels to me like Civilization on steroids. Less tech progress, but far more intricate, detailed mechanisms to understand. Even the most complex version of Civilization is pretty simple by comparison. And yet EU4 is very popular.

(Should I give Stellaris another chance? I got it when it just came out and was disappointed, but I imagine they put a lot of work in it since then.)
20% of what? That number doesn't mean anything without context. Also, references?
When you're poor you have to hold on to things that you might need, or that sort-of work. You keep your old phone with a broken screen because your current one might get stolen (or you might have to sell it). You keep a broken microwave because you can use it in a pinch (maybe it works if you hold the door shut, or if you angle the cord just so), or you might scavenge some parts from it, or you might have have to fix it as best you can even though that's dangerous. You can't afford the transaction costs of just selling everything.

Craig Murray has been wrong about factual matters on rare occasions.

He has not lost the plot or gone mad with speculation.

A recent incident of that is his speculation on why the Prime Minister's SPAD was really in Durham during lockdown, with the assumption this had something to do with a big pharma company in the area and C19 contracts. The evidence is a bit thin for anything linking the SPAD to Smithkline Beecham, but Craig Murray was out there pushing a conspiracy theory, all on his own.

However...

In any given day the mainstream news in the UK will make assumptions that are lazy and untrue. We could be forever debating any one of these. Those that believe the mainstream news and respect the Overton Window given to them by the BBC will not want to hear that some of it is not true. There is this aspect of rinse and repeat, so the narrative on Russia, Syria, the country formerly known as Libya, Iran, Venezuela, Iraq and even Scotland is very different for people who turn off their television sets, boycott the UK papers and seek out news that better suits them on the likes of Craig Murray's blog.

Although Craig Murray has been misguided on occasion, this is a price that has to be paid for anyone who is not bought in to the establishment narrative. I would say lies told by Craig Murray versus lies told by the media is something like a thousand to one.

I would say Craig Murray is biased in favour of values of freedom, truth and democracy. The news from the BBC and the likes of Murdoch is not biased that way.
So you're happy as a consumer that developer's freedom is taken away from them, but you have more freedom. That's understandable, but you should realize that some developers value their freedom and will just avoid such a locked-down platform. There are plenty of apps missing in iPhone because of that.
Notarization is good. Intel calls enclave signing “attestation”, which is clear to me.

Not only that Apple has produced the exact same platform with the same CPU and development tools and APIs as iPhone which it is set to launch later this year where sideloading is completely allowed.
I'm upvoting this because others have downvoted without giving a reason, a strong sign that they have no defence.

And I strongly agree with blackbear_, but I also like this comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24418408 (I'm assuming the claim about the picture's authors is true, but it has much precedent eg. in L. S. Lowry).

I've raged with ill manners here against fawning over art, accepting it because it is art so the courage to challenge its worth disappears (and silent downvotes appear). I'm not against art, I'm against unthinking conformity. A lot of 'art' just isn't - anyone care to debate? (Also of note https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24418220)

Edit: and within 30 seconds a downvote.
This will be the case for everything built on GPT-3, but you've got to imagine it's possible for them to keep refreshing it, eventually training or fine tuning it on a daily basis as their web crawl updates.
Intel AMT Hit by Another “Critical” Security Vulnerability

This does seem like excellent work.

Maybe Etcher accomplishes some of this too.

Seems to me the imaging is more perfect than the subsequent hardware interaction.

Different USB drives and controllers can have greatly dissimilar working geometries as they carry partitions & filesystems, so the hardware is not really interchangeable enough to begin with for direct imaging to be a very reliable means of getting a different partition and/or filesystem onto a flash drive for instance.

The working layout may or may not be based on the _native_ detected geometry of the device.

And mainboards can have their preferences as to which geometries they prefer and when.

This can make data appear to disappear depending on where you plug in the USB drive, and more commonly cause difficulty booting.

The IMG file of a floppy disk is standard but the blank disk always needed complete perfect sectors to write the IMG to, afterward their FAT12 filesystem was universally accessible and bootable just like it had actually been formatted indivdually by standard MSDOS. It was just a clone.

The ISO of a CDROM is standardized too.

USB drive behavior is not very standard, so an IMG or DD type file captured from a particular device can not be expected to perform indentically unless it is restored in an identical way to the original device or an equivalent device which has no show-stopping dissimilarity.

Since the beginning until just recently USB flash drives were sold pre-formatted with FAT32. Now they are just getting too big for FAT32, so over 32GB has NTFS.

Now not always will most of the drives in the world have been originally formatted with very Microsoft-compatible procedures. At least one major supplier has a fundamental formatting error propagated for years. Different mainboards will tolerate this to different degrees.

Depending on what you start with the image you capture might not be the best to rely on.

Defragmentation can also be an issue to work around.

A Live Linux distribution intended for direct _burning_ to flash drives is not a good distribution method compared to burning the ISO to disk.

Rufus is good because it takes a bootable ISO and writes it in a file-based way onto just about any USB device, and various USB drives end up more bootable than you can get from perfectly copying a prepared master image bitwise.

Ethical Subcommons Starter Kit – bringing openness to software of moral concern
For HIPAA integrations you're going to need to a lot of security auditing. Something that might work well is publishing a white paper of your personal security practices. Things like full-disk-encryption for developers, password policies, hardware 2FA for ALL company accounts, SSO for all logins with a single place to delete a credential set, mandatory monthly/weekly HIPAA training, etc.

Another thing you might want to consider doing is open sourcing some stuff to help setup FHIR/HL7 integrations. Pretty much the only fully fledged HL7 "solution" you can get for free HAPI [0]. You might want to make some open source tools around all of this. For example: a reverse proxy that prints all to a log that's censored for PII for debugging. Make that for free, push that to github and open source it.

This will get you:

1. Lead generation: People in this space will know who you are

2. Trust: Hiring consultants is difficult if you cant see the quality of their work. If you do a good job on these OSS tools you can prove to people that your code quality is high. This demands a much higher price tag.

Something else you might consider discussing is what EMRs you have direct experience with. For instance Epic [1] provides "training services". HL7 has a "HL7 Certified" exam you can take to prove you can memorize it's obtuse message structures. Taking, passing, and displaying this might make some buisnessy-people happy.

No it isn't. There's tons of free space surrounding cities, including with developed infrastructure and support.

The demand driven forcing is miniscule compared to artificial scarcity due to zoning permits or bad infrastructure. (Typically slow transportation.)
Amidst all the hype for firmware security, one point missing in these discussions is how many points of failure these guys have added. 1) Intel/AMD for ME/PSP 2) Dell for bios signing keys 3) MS for secureboot keys 4) American Megatrends, Phoenix, etc., companies that people don't even know exist, who actually write the bios code. If the threat model is nation state attacks, there is plenty of surface area here in the circus.
True enough, but I should think he's got the power to stop this train too, then. How long can a man be held prisoner without a trial in the UK, anyway? What kind of democratic system can hold a person jailed indefinately like that? What are we becoming?
Why does this require to blow fuses? Just store a secret into the CPU that can only be unset if the same secret is provided again. It could be totally reversible, as long as you know the secret, that way the lock could be removed when decommissioning the system.

With a tiny bit more fancy crypto one could also generate per-system unlock keys so that a vendor doesn't have to reveal his master lock or something like that.

Unlocking bootloaders is a solved problem on android. Why introduce a worse solution that creates vendor lock-in?
Why does it need to be a subset? Then you run the risk that whoever uncovers wrongdoing is labeled "not a journalist". Same reason freedom of speech applies to everybody and not just registered "free speakers".
