A quick question for anyone familiar with the architecture of these Transformer-based models -- I've heard that one reason why they don't work well with numbers is how the inputs are tokenized (i.e. as "chunks" rather than individual words/numbers). Is there anything architecturally preventing an exception in this form of tokenizing in the data preprocessing step, and passing numbers into the model in the format of 1 digit == 1 token? It seems like such a change could possibly result in a better semantic "understanding" of digits by the model.
Read something recently that many serial entrepreneurs seek VC funding rather than fund the effort themselves (even when they have the cash to do so). Often the connections provided by a VC are just as important.

Geoff from YC and Patrick from Stripe did a chat with an Irish audience late last week. One thing that resonated with me was the fact YC provided encouragement along the way when the Stripe founders were unsure the venture would work.
The issue is that it is not divisible by any other prime *from the list*. The two cases (prime or composite) must be handled separately since they do not use the same logic to infer there is one more prime.

For instance, 2 * 3 * 5 * 7 * 11 * 13 + 1 = 30031 = 59 * 509.
The AVX-512 constants aren't embedded in the instructions, but the address to load being static means the CPU can start to cache them when the decoder gets to them, possibly even before it knows that the input to the function is.

In contrast, for the scalar code, the CPU must complete the divisions (which'll become multiplications, but even those still have relatively high latency) before it can even begin to look for what to cache.
>Brightness (Typical): 400 nits

Looks like yet another "fake HDR" monitor. Accepts an HDR10 signal, but can't get much brighter than a regular display, and doesn't have any kind of local dimming.
I'm surprised that everyone here thinks that Kaspersky makes only antivirus products. They have a ton of security products, including their own microkernel-based OS:

Lombok seems to have a 50/50 split of people who love / hate it. I am firmly in the No Lombok camp! My reasons are;

* IntelliJ is very good at generating boilerplate getters / setters etc

* I found sometimes the annotation processor would get out of sync with the IDE resulting in compilation issues until the processor was run again

* Java 17 records replace a lot of the functionality
I used to annoy my friends by sending emails to their sms email address (1234567890@vtext.com or whatever) using open email relays. You could spoof the sender name as whatever you wanted and most sms clients would just show that.
There is an "About the Team" page in Chapter 1 with short bios:

https://highassurance.rs/chp1/about_the_team.html

As a personal preference, I like to place the content front-and-center and not dwell on the individuals behind it :)
Initial feedback:

1) Simplify the UI. Center the typing area and make it auto selected so I can type without having to click on it.
2) There is too much text. Just let me type without reading.
3) It seems like it requires full length questions to get good results. Focus on getting the same results with just a few words by inferring the question.

The Okta Mess Is Even Worse Than It Appears
Please. As if you have not already broken multiple HN rules such as “don’t be snarky,” “have curious conversation,” and “assume good faith.” Hiding behind the rules is a poor shield at this point. The fact you think “strange” is inappropriate language yet “fucked” is perfectly acceptable is… interesting.

Buying a share is not ripping someone off. They are selling the share because they want money up-front, and you are providing it to them. If they didn’t think selling the share was worth it at that price and time, they would hold on to it.

Buying the guy’s share at $5 is a price he set. He determined that getting $5 at this time is worth losing X% of control of the company that that share represents. No one is getting fucked, or at the very least, it’s unknowable who is getting fucked. Whether it was a fucking depends on whether the share goes up or down in value over time.
> Why was it not a problem for Intel to add mmx, several sse iterations, avx, avx 2, but now 9 years of nothing, even though parallel computing in annoying to program for and depend on gpu's is only gaining in importance?

AVX512 is significantly more intensive than previous generation SIMD instruction sets.

It takes up a lot of die space and it uses a massive amount of power.

It can use so much power and is so complex that the clock speed of the CPU is reduced slightly when AVX512 instructions are running. This led to an exaggerated outrage from enthusiast/gaming users who didn't want their clock speed reduced temporarily just because some program somewhere on their machine executed some AVX512 instructions. To this day you can still find articles about how to disable AVX512 for this reason.

AVX512 is also incompatible with having a heterogeneous architecture with smaller efficiency cores. The AVX512 part of the die is massive and power-hungry, so it's not really an option for making efficiency cores.

I think Intel is making the right choice to move away from AVX512 for consumer use cases. Very few, if any, consumer-target applications would even benefit from AVX512 optimizations. Very few companies would actually want to do it, given that the optimizations wouldn't run on AMD CPUs or many Intel CPUs.

It's best left as a specific optimization technique for very specific use cases where you know you're controlling the server hardware.
I think this would be the best way to teach, but it doesn't seem practical with the class sizes in most school. I frequently had 40 people in my classes and I know other schools in my district had similar class sizes.
No engineer has ever sued because of constructive post-interview feedback (2020)
Yes, with the semantic-style search Andi does best finding answers when it has specific questions with enough detail. That will increase the confidence that the result is factually correct.

Better questions = much better answers

So specifics help you get better results.
I'll counter your anecdote with mine, that my dad finds his Samsung "smart" TV too confusing to use (without even caring about things like tracking or ads), yet he uses his Virgin Media (UK Tivo-based box) and my Apple TV boxes just fine.

Personally I dislike Samsung TV software for the same reasons as most of the others in this thread, and would rather have a dumb TV. But I do agree with your general point about usability, and would be very supportive of a TV that shipped with basic ability to enable apps such as YouTube, but that did nothing to force use of them on the user, nothing to promote content, nothing to track what people watch, etc.
The Lazy Universe: An Introduction to the Principle of Least Action
Just wanted to share this wonderful book with you.
Interesting review:

It's not really goalpost shifting - thieves in countries without extradition treaties and with justice systems that don't care are a serious ongoing problem with the existing banking system, and those transactions are not in general reversable. Hell, someone managed to steal a substantial sum of money from Bangladesh's central bank and almost none of it could be recovered. The only reason they didn't manage to rob all 1 billion dollars of the central bank's reserves was a random false positiver in some AML check.
> Nothing you produce in undergrad is of any value except to advance your knowledge.

Tell that to the job recruiters that require a 3.6 minimum GPA and verbally berate someone for wasting their time for handing them a resume with a 3.5 GPA on it.

Okay most recruiters won't verbally berate you[1], but GPA is regularly used to winnow resumes for college graduates.

1: The one time I witnessed this was at a college job fair. To this day it was the most unprofessional public behavior I have witnessed by a recruiter; he had 3 coworkers next to him at the booth and they seemed neither perturbed nor surprised. As long as I have the luxury of choosing who I work for I will not work for that company.
This is the same situation as prisoner’s dilemma and has the same possible answers. One is, as others have said, that some people will choose honesty for personal moral reasons. Another is superrationality:

That's a shame, because there are plenty of use cases where testing a shallow render makes much more sense than fully rendering the component—for example, when you're wrapping a third-party library and simply need to test that the correct props are being passed, instead of testing the library's functionality.
I'm not sure what it has to do with your question, which was "The FCRA was designed to prevent this kind of thing. I wonder how they get around it?".
Landlords have permissible purpose to check your credit report, so they aren't "getting around it".
Um yeah, but it's the government doing it so it's really important that we all react with scorn and derision, because we're all such bold iconoclasts you see.
This would be a good step.

Others have brought up problems with this but another one is that companies get paid by police agencies to provide these data in response to records requests, they are incentivized to not rate-limit these responses.
hmm FISA, Gag orders, National Secrecy laws, etc all exist in US law, so tell me again how they are different?

Also, as an American Citizen, who has more power to put me the individual in a cage, the FSB or NSA?
Raising regulatory barriers increases cost of housing. Increased cost of housing disproportionately effects those who have less money. Eviction protections are incredibly harmful to homeless as it makes it can make it risky (costly) to rent to homeless, taking housing even further out of reach. Homeless become even less competitive renters.

Your comfort and convenience to have the option not to pay a landlord does not rank higher than the desire of homeless to have better access to housing. Places with homeless problems badly need to remove these protections from renters.
Not sure why this is getting downvoted. Yes, we all agree that smart tvs are shipped with adware and tracking. That matters a lot to the HN crowd, but a lot less to typical consumers. This commenter found something which works well for his family and makes them happier than they would be otherwise. Why downvote that?
>The 'without weapons' implies it wasn't violent

There is no such implication at all. "Without weapons" means "without weapons". The vast majority of people at that riot were gun owners, and none of them were armed or fired a shot. I can assure you, people who own guns and are committed to violently overthrowing the government bring those guns and shoot them. For evidence see any of the numerous coups that occur in countries around the world.
Of course the institutions are different. But is the problem of power any different? If anything, it seems like there are more ways that power is limited in current America than 16th century Europe or the USSR.

Roman was absolutely multinational. I don’t think it had corporations, but rather the entire empire acting as a single business… which is even worse.
> if the government mandates that EDRs exist

Q: Is government mandating this? At what level?

...and if so, why?
Doesn't seem to rule out using a .gov.uk domain name for something hosted on netlify.

I agree it looks cheesy and makes me wonder if it's really official government documetnation, without a .gov.uk hostname (and SSL cert, naturally).
The point of press/courts/rule of law is that at least you have a chance. Without those, no chance. That matters.

The US is not some monolithic entity. It's almost weirdly schizophrenic. Yes, the government will e.g. use some super-shaky legal arguments to justify torture ahem "enhanced interrogation", but on the other hand Freedom of Information Act requests still get processed. Yes, the NSA will spy on US citizens, but even they feel the need to come up with some legalistic / procedural cover.

Even as the US's checks and balances are tested, and structural inequalities are examined, there is a broad and deep tradition of fighting the government and not going to jail like Navalny.

The traditions and norms of a country's populace, and its institutions really really matter, especially when their institutions are being tested.

Corruption is everywhere, but this is too simplistic a pattern-match.

EDIT> Knight-Ridder did some fantastic and courageous investigative journalism debunking the US casus belli in the run-up to the Iraq Invasion. It didn't stop the invasion, but they were recognized later. Can we imagine that happening in Russia?
Better description: Brief war stories which one (claimed) ex-US Marine told to another ex-US Marine, one recent evening in Ukraine. Verification level: Sounded pretty plausible to the (verified) ex-Marine hearing them.
No, they're not.

Many organizations use blockchain technology to offload the need to develop the account model, user state management, and accounting, lowers overhead costs for some kinds of ventures as well as being trendy which is able to get an audience very quickly. This inherently comes with some aspects of less-centralization (in case you or someone passing by is allergic to the word "decentralization"), there isn't any ideology to adopt with that, its just a matter of reality. In Axie's case, gamers are able to resell assets they've acquired without the Axie platform or opinion of company. It fulfills a market interest and that's it. Many people are also making enough money to support themselves by playing/grinding/joining guilds, this is also an aspiration form of freedom.
This is so tiresome.

Situation: People that don’t pay taxes are getting rich, while people that do pay taxes are getting poor.

Solution: Raise taxes by X%.
It does! Fuzzing actually started off as a tool built by security researchers to find vulnerabilities in parsers, and other complex codebases, usually written in C/C++ (looking for memory bugs). So anything that deals with untrusted binary data is a prime candidate for fuzz testing.

Go’s fuzzing framework supports `[]byte` arguments as well as all of the standard Go primitives, so you should be able to test netcode this way.

If you're looking for a C/C++ solution, my recommendation is libfuzzer [0]. We've also built our own C/C++ fuzzing engine at Fuzzbuzz [1].

The problem here is you state clearly that a "clean bill" would be impossible yet you want to argue the issue like a clean bill was possible.

Sorry reality does not work that way, any attempts to change the law would have massive side effects because the "riders" as you call them would be added, the bill would not be a 10 page ensure employers go through a PIP, no it would be a 1000 page grab bag of special interest back room deals
This is a neat concept and could work well, especially in the more subjective, art based classes.
One of my favorite classes was digital audio production. A big part of that was the amount of creativity we could take with it, partially thanks to the grading. The teacher graded very easily, as long as you utilized this technique and “tried” you get 100 on the assignment, or a pretty high grade. This let me worry less about if I meet the requirements or not, and instead spend time putting creativity into it. He would always offer feedback as well spending time critiquing weak aspects about it and it helped me a ton. Yes, this means the class became a big blowoff for a lot of kids, but I liked being able to dip into the creativity without many worries.

The grading discussed in the article probably couldn’t apply to stem classes or something with a definitive right or wrong answer, but giving less focus on raw number grades in more creative classes can push kids in the right direction. I heard somewhere that kids are increasingly putting less creativity and energy into assignments because they are concerned with hitting the teachers exact expectations, and I think I see that in my own experiences.
To be fair, none of those other debates have anything to do with finances and wealth tools or vehicles. There's inherently less incentive to scam people with those things because it won't make someone rich to do so (at least nowhere near the extent that other options, like stealing digital financial assets, would).

Email and websites in general have tons of scams associated with it, to the point where I'm required for whatever company or client I work for to take phishing/security awareness lectures every single year, yet those things don't "need to be defended".
If they are possibly into history and city building - Anno 1800 might be of interest. I heard it has elements similar to factory builders like Factorio but since its in a historical setting, the graphics are probably more approachable/relaxing for a larger audience.

Also if you are early innings Nvidia GeForceNow free tier can save you some money if you don't have a high end PC with the latest graphics.

0ad is also interesting as its like Age of Empires but easily moddable. Modding might be a good segway into long term interest in computer science.

I wouldn't trust anything from Samsung with a camera in it.
I agree npm is wonderful and if you need npm just stick to React but you mentioned UI libraries. I use Django + HTMX stack in side projects. I've been using Material UI with React before, but I don't see a need for something similar in Django + HTMX stack. Just add some css like bulma and you're done.
> But I don't feel like manual curation by one person is easily compatible with search engine.

I see the manual curation as more of a temporary measure in the beginning. There are various ways blog detection can be automated and scaled, but manual curation for now gives me a better understanding of the data, and ensures I don't run into random edge cases.

> Because after trying a few search "getting a job in vc", "best computer chair", "learning erlang" I'm not confident this answer better results than Google.

Right now it's more useful for very broad queries like "inflation" or "covid". The index is pretty small at the moment, but the more posts that get added to the index, the more specific queries we'll be able to find good results for.

> You've got a content size problem as you are manually curating, and this will lead to people not use your search as a default, and probably not use it as a search engine, but instead as a discovery system.

That's actually what I want! This is not a search engine to replace Google, it's a discovery tool for blog posts.

Thanks for all the feedback here, and will definitely check out the newsletter.
I agree - I took a look at the minimization algorithm[0] and it seems like it loops through a few basic options, with the last one basically normalizing all possible bytes to something readable (like "0"). Part of the issue with trying to be as generic as possible is you sometimes can't find the best solution to every problem, this might be one of those situations.

I know the goal of 1.18 was to get the UX down, so I'm interested to see how it improves for 1.19.

This is the entire foundation of capitalism. The idea is that people who own capital only reward other people for their time who help add to their capital. If companies distributed all of the gains in terms of stock awards to employees, you will see very different asset distribution in our society.
>What was jan 6 about?

Jan 6th was about a small number of ignorant people who bought into a bunch of lies. A protest that got out of control. One that was far, far less violent, with far fewer casualties than dozens of protests that happened around the country the prior year. All mobs are bad, all riots are bad. Unfortunately different partisans have been trying to blow up the implications of one riot while downplaying all the others.
$400k seems to be around what the helium recovery and liquidation to support medical imaging costs, but presumably at a far higher power than a $400k .1Kelvin cryostat.
Not really, when you consider that there are tens of thousands of USB devices that work with Windows, many of which can operate like a flash drive even though they aren't (like cameras). I can imagine MS disabling this feature by default due to the headaches involved.

Notably, autolaunching USB drives is also no longer the default option for USB devices. The user has to specifically choose what action happens when the device is first plugged in (and by default, that choice only applies to the current instance; the user must manually choose to have the choice apply the next time the device is plugged in).
It would help US to condemn Colin Powell for brandishing supposed proof of WMD at the UN Counsel in 2003, which they never found after invasion.

It would help for the US to stop Predator attacks. Most of the world is convinced that they are illegal and illegitimate.

And as a French person, I preferred Trump, because he didn’t trigger any new war and he calmed down Little Rocket Man. He even shook his hand! And donated 100% of his salary to charities! Biden is back and the war is back: Bad negociation tactics, Hunter Biden shenanigans with billions transferred as a chairman of an oil company in Ukraine, female ministers of defense in all of Europe, focus on having transgender soldiers, so Putin believed we were weak and the field was open. The result is a war.

We could have avoided this war.

PS: I’m not saying female ministers of war are incompetent, I’m saying they make no-one afraid. It was way more frightening when Krouchtchev’s general responsible for the nuclear button was a crazy alcoholic: When you’re faced with an madlad, you take him seriously.
There are plenty of other systems to do this with. Gist's value proposition seems orthogonal to its Git integration—more to do with its UX.
Thank you for this perspective, it's one I'll try to incorporate more of in a future revision.

While the content aims to be generally applicable to a broad range of software, further contextualization against a specific standard like DO-178C might make for a valuable appendix section.

There's a bit of a balancing act, however, since Rust is, at present, not a certified choice for such use cases.
A well deserved twist of the knife to do this right before the tax rush.
