skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
I think you've specified this problem in a very strange way. But if you're saying that you're trying to train on the specific dataset where a = 1 and b = 1, then your model will fit the data perfectly with 175 billion parameters. It will also fit the data perfectly with, like, 15 parameters.

If you're trying to fit to some more complex space where a and b are unknown and you're given 3 numbers in the sequence, then what you're trying to fit is `f(a, b) = a + 2(b - a)` (or 2b - a, however you want to represent it), which is a swell function, but if you only give data that can be equally represented by `f(a, b) = b + 1`, you're mis-training your model.

But you could once again do that with a model with a dozen parameters. In both cases, the issue isn't overfitting, but misrepresentative data.
Um... who does that???
Monocular depth estimation has gotten really good recently though[0]. Not saying this one paper/method is 100% sufficient, but we're closing the gap in this one capability (depth estimation from pure vision) quite rapidly.

What debt crisis? The national “debt” is not a crisis. The US has a great degree a monetary sovereignty. As long as this is true, it will always be able to pay its “debts”. The US government spends money into existence, which is a direct subsidy to either states, citizens, the private sector, or foreign interests (in the case of USG buying imported goods).
I wasn't suggesting the sugar industry is behind this one, but asking the general question of how do we know there isn't someone funding the results they want.

Can I ask, purely in the spirit of potential solutions (as opposed to the meta question of whether you should have to do this) -- there's a link there for "Claim this Knowledge Panel". One would presume that it would give you the ability to control what's listed there. Have you tried that?

Also interesting to see how focused they are still on pure vision input to construct the vector space instead of just using LIDAR, but I wonder how limited they are by existing models already being out there with set hardware.

This study is about consuming HFCS by itself. My understanding, at least based on the studies referenced in “How Not to Die”, is that the fiber in fruit more than makes up for the high sugar content.

I agree in general, though, that much of the processed food we get in the US is oversweetened or oversalted, and it totally distorts the palate.
It depends. If it is equal to the average human driver then being on the road would be a benefit because below average drivers (drunk, elderly, tired, etc) could use FSD while above average drivers drove themselves.
"Human-level hands"

It's even more complicated than that. Some nutrients are absorbed in the stomach. Most are absorbed in the small intestine. Some are absorbed in the large intestine.

Heck, some are even absorbed through the mouth and gums!
I'm confused about the ipython reference, using a notebook for eda or results presentation doesn't have much to do with a data pipeline. I love the idea of being able to use shell scripts to orchestrate data prep and training. There are lots of

curl | grep | awk > .csv

patterns I've used in real life, and having a way to train a model from the command line is a great complement.

Currently I would call a python training script from the command line, and do orchestrate everything in bash. I'm not sure why thay is undesirable.

Such a product could not be a credit card, as it would run on rails of your traditional providers (Visa, MasterCard, etc). If you want to avoid traditional payment rails who can financially deplatform you, it has to be crypto (much to my dismay). Could you use ACH or Instant Payments from the Fed? For as long as the banks that support those payment rails don’t give you the boot.

Think Privacy.com/Lithic.com but using crypto and instant fiat->crypto conversions when the payments are made. No chargebacks, no refunds. The crypto or stablecoin are decentralized rails.
> And you (if you're being rational about it) want them in a Tesla

Right. Rationally, we all want folks who are worse than the state-of-the-art FSD AI to be using FSD. But thinking that the "very low bar" that has to be cleared is drunk drivers misses the point that most drivers are not drunk. So it's much less impressive to a "safe" human driver to clear the low bar.

Bazel is where I started. As an ex-Google employee it's familiar, and I prefer its build language. I found Nix when looking for ways to make Python builds reproducible across machines.

Also, I get the impression that a Nix artifact is generally an entire library/package, whereas a Bazel artifact is often just one or a few files which fits well with how I prefer to use the build system. But I'm no Nix expert and that may not always be true.

If Bazel had a better external dependency story (maybe someday [0]) then I'd probably not use Nix. But currently the pair seems to work well.

The dispute rate is certainly true for companies under the general umbrella of “subscription services”, usually meaning porn / webcam sites, and there are trigger points where the payment processor will switch off a facility that exceeds a certain dispute volume.

OF has been increasingly making use of step-up authentication to avoid disputes, which is the way the non-US payments industry is heading. My guess would be that if disputes are in fact the reason, it’ll be because the step-up authentication isn’t available or working for some significant slice of the market.

That said, I don’t think that’s the reason. Switching off porn altogether means the vast majority(citation needed) of OF’s content will be gone, which means this has to be a life-or-death move. MC has been placing legality/consent/age restrictions on adult content, including real-time monitoring of content / chat [0]. My guess is that this is onerous enough that it breaks OF’s business model.

I refuse to believe this is some free market issue of payment processors wanting the right to not interact with businesses they find morally objectionable.

This is about liability and regulation. The processors are scared to process these transactions. It's not that they don't want to.
It's probably as simple as:

Oh, so this is about the indirect effect of UV on plant growth reducing carbon uptake. Cool study. CFCs are also
highly potent greenhouse gasses due to their long atmospheric residence time and the fact they have very different absorption spectra than everything else out there.

The Montreal Protocol is a lot like the chemical weapons ban: a ban of something the rich and powerful really don’t need that is incidentally the right thing to do. This kind of enforcement regime will work on fossil fuels in about 20 years when we have fusion power, but until then incentives are too greatly against it.

Does anyone know what mapping application is being shown in that article? It looks like Google Maps or something but I didn't think it supported a waypoint/POI layer like the ones shown. They certainly appear to be screenshots of an app actually running on the tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab it looks like).
They upgraded hardware in the past to support FSD customers, so I’m not sure they’re completely against it. If it was, say, just a $500 decision to make it completely viable, I don’t think Tesla would hesitate. But the $500 lidars can’t do what needs to be done.
> This is confusing because before component models, everything was a global.

Hot take: I'd argue this is confusing because (almost) everything should be a global in UI development. Plenty of websites were built in PHP and basic Javascript with (gasp) globals! I guess some folks don't understand that people have been making pretty complex web apps since before 2013. It's monumentally counterproductive having to deal with state management in like 40 nested components because you just want the username and user email to trickle down.

So people re-invented global state but we call it Redux now. It's a parody of a parody.
How can sensible people not? Really the problem would be that anyone that has not increased their threshold of the absurd are blind to the future that is here.
Ideally there would be a way for the OS to signal that it's going to hibernate, so that the application can get rid of the secret stuff (overwrite with zeroes etc) and go to a state that, when back from hibernation, would ask for a password again.

Or even, disable this when hibernating to a swap inside an encrypted luks partition (which also asks for a password when it wakes up)
Yes, a larger mass of fuel would produce more output, but it would also require more laser energy to compress it. They're already maxing out the lasers they have.
CNI plugins is one thing, while k8s subsystems itself still use iptables for KUBE-FIREWALL, KUBE-FORWARD, KUBE-NODE-PORT. At least that how I understand the k8s internals.

Yeah I kept reading about chargebacks in USA so I tried to initiate one on a Visa card in New Zealand and it was a 6-week arduous process requiring a shitload of documentation. It didn't seem worth it for my purposes.
Ironic you post this today; I just got the new youtube like/dislike button change rolled out to me.
If Tesla switches to stereoscopic vision with fully articulated cameras that can move independently of the vehicle (not fully independent, but limited 3 degrees of motion), and then they manage to integrate the output into something meaningful then maybe it would be comparable.
Ay, yes, I was, you know, just making an off-hand comment.
Then again, intelligence is also heritable.
Hooks don't really change anything about whether or not you use Redux, though. The only real difference is that there's now the `useReducer` hook, but that's just a different mechanism for updating the same component state we've always had architecturally.

FWIW, I maintain Redux, and I've written extensively trying to clarify when it does and doesn't make sense to use Redux, and how to use it the right way [0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. No question there's been a lot of FUD and misconceptions about that over the years, and I wish I didn't have to spend so much time on this topic, but lots of people never look at our docs and actual recommendations.

Also worth noting that our Redux Toolkit package [6] and React-Redux hooks API [7] have made Redux _much_ easier to learn and use than it was previously, and we get a ton of very positive feedback about that.

Of course it is. Elon has said that before. They use the human physics as a baseline of technology to mimic. If humans don't need lidar and can operate with vision, then they can do was the logic.
Oh huh, that's interesting, thanks! Is it geared towards worker/DB too, like Dokku? Unfortunately with Dokku it's a bit hard to run multiple containers together (I remember having to hack stuff to enable app deployments where one app was the frontend and another was the API).
> Our brains do the distance estimation, and they use all kinds of tricks and contextual clues to do it

So, first, this presentation we're talking about is literally about problems like that.

Second: your brain isn't nearly as good as you think it is, it's just constructing a coherent story to fool you into thinking it is. Try this on the highway sometime as a passenger: close your eyes and recite the distances to the vehicle in front of you and the one to either side. I bet you anything a Tesla is going to do that better.

Third: they pretty much cracked this already. They stopped shipping radar on US Model 3's and Y's in the spring, have shipped hundreds of thousands of them now, and there's not a hint of signal that something is off with distance measurements with the cars. My car doesn't get this perfectly (you can actually watch the animations on screen bounce around a bit as the estimates change) but I think it objectively does better than I do.

Distance/Lidar framing is old news, basically. Vision works fine. The worst bugs remaining with all the FSD Beta footage on Youtube are almost entirely pathing and planning issues. The car sees its environment just fine.
Good to know. Odd though in that I didn't change anything. Not my profile, not my username, not my keybase account, nothing.
I didn't specify the training set, just the test set. It's possible that your model actually models an arithmetic series. Or that it simply overfits. The point is that it doesn't require trillions of parameters to overfit to a trillion-sized test set.
A candy bar is equivalent to a stick of dynamite, energetically. But then, energy and power are not the same :D
The most interesting part of the story has been left out? I mean sure, engineers would start to quit, top-flight engineers would quit, etc etc.

But was there any impact to quality of service? Are people not getting Ubers, or waiting longer for Ubers? Were there new food delivery services delayed or did they roll out more or less on time?
If you mean sucrose, say that instead of “sugar”.

The article is about the increased absorption of fructose, not glucose.
Yes, somewhat counter-intuitively, because chewing essentially turns fruit into a smoothie!

The difference is the chewing effort and the time taken.

Eating more than two apples makes me tired even thinking about it. I never eat more than one at a time in practice. Similarly with carrots, I'll happily crunch through maybe half of a large carrot, but never a whole one.

Meanwhile, most people can just gulp down four to six apples or carrots worth of juice -- pulp and all -- without feeling immediately satiated.

That's the difference: in juice form we can happily ingest far more food than we would prefer to eat via normal chewing.

Note that it's entirely possible to eat the same amount of apples! It's just exhausting and even unpleasant.
Telling him to google, then providing exactly one link to the company that created USDC isn't really much of a refute. Maybe a link to an independent audit (as far as I can tell there are none).

Much like tether, there is no proof that they have anywhere near the currency they claim and folks that operate in that market are the ones shouting the loudest about the apparent fraud occurring. I've yet to see tether or usdc provide proof otherwise, it always seems to be a "we wouldn't be this big if we didn't have what we say we have" - bernie madoff style. And to get in front of it, an attestation != audit.

I'm a pretty techy guy but in this one sentence alone you said 5 things that I have no idea about nor even heard of ("USDC", "DAI", "sidechain", "Polygon", "Fantom").

The chance of the general population catching onto this stuff anytime soon is slim.
Most people weren't aware or couldn't see where this was going. Now that it's becoming obvious, people are starting to care.
Heh, my current team is trending towards all-senior swe, and we're all eager to eliminate as many meetings as possible to keep the focus on building shit and solving problems. Love it.
There are outliers to everything. I'm in a similar boat as the parent comment. I've tried multiple classes, multiple formulations, multiple dosages, and all of which I have tried multiple times.

It's been 7 years, and I eventually settled on one that worked the least worst, and just try to do the best I can. I am even considering quitting all together. I believe if the withdrawal effects were not so serve, I would have already.
> But thinking that the "very low bar" that has to be cleared is drunk drivers

I said median, not drunk driver. Existing shipping autopilot is already saving DUI fatalities. This feels like a strawman to me...
I didn't specify that the training set wasn't representative.

All this shows is that you don't need parameters anywhere close to the number of test examples to overfit.
C++ is mentioned many times in the live presentation today. I guess they felt it is important to mention that.
> the sender has committed no crime

> they've done nothing illegal

Perhaps that's true in the narrowest sense, but aren't the odds of generating a colliding file so low as to all but rule out coincidence and therefore strongly indicate premeditated cyber-attack (which is illegal)?

If I were law enforcement, at the very least I'd want to keep tabs on these sources of false positives. Probably easy enough to convince a judge that someone capable of the "tech wizardry" to collide a hash can un-collide one too, and therefore more thorough/invasive search warrants of the source are justified.
Couldn't they just submit patches (even if they were large ones) rather than truly rewriting under the MS banner? That seems like less of a risk to me. If an open source community is happy with their D code (to make a huge generalization), that's their prerogative.
It’s reproducibility that’s the benefit, not immutability. The fact that the Nix store is immutable is just an artifact of being a content-addressed store, not actually the point of anything.
If only there were alternatives to personal cars to go from place to place. Oh well.
No, there are still plenty of those, especially in larger arcades.

Ask HN: Meta database to manage audio, video content?
Two questions:

1. Is there a database specifically designed for Video, Audio and other unstructured data. So that you can search, administer, process (transcribe, thumbnail) and manage it in a central place. The actual binary data itself could be in any of the cloud object store (S3, etc) or Youtube and the metadata is managed in the database.

2. I couldn't find anything on the internet so built a rudimentary version of the above. Would this be helpful for others.
