So, Intel is going to put transistors on commodity chips, then lock them behind a paywall.

This ends one of two ways. (1) AMD provides them without an upsell, or (2) like TSX and persistent memory, they don’t get sufficient real-world usage to have the bugs ironed out in a generation or two, and Intel eventually drops support for them.

I wouldn’t touch any of these features in production, even if Intel gave me a free site license. (Even if that included dev laptops and github / AWS CI, which it would not).
It looks nice! Does it have some paywall-busting powers, like Firefox's built-in reader mode?

Quite often, you can get through many a paywall by switching to reader mode and then reloading the page. Previously hidden content appears.
That’s my whole point though. That I don’t encounter those people and my only exposure to the cult is people who hate him/it talking about it. You’re even telling me it’s a much smaller group than implied by all the references to it. I don’t know what is so confusing about that?
That's great if true. However they have the catch all "non-ordinary use" clause. Obviously if you try to run a massive data center, they'll shut you down, which raises the question of where the cutoff is going to be.
So it's a prediction market but you aren't legally allowed to be called a prediction market. In much the same way that Pyramid Schemes can operate as "Multi-Level Marketing", eventually the regulators will catch on and shut things down.

Well, you can solve some things. Internet and zoom went some way to solving "how do we work in lockdowns?"
Nicely done. Really enjoyed it.

Would be interesting if you combined it with DALLE-2. Either with a prompt at the top that generates the picture on the fly or just by curating some DALLE-2 pictures and using them for the puzzles (and maybe the prompt to generate it could be revealed as a reward).
The only thing I'm a little concerned about is Bankman possibly being a flight risk. He obviously has the money and connections to find a boat or private jet to flee somewhere where he can't be legally extradited and pay enough bribes to live comfortably on stolen money for the rest of his days.

That said, I think it's probably better to have an air-tight case rather than risking some legal screwup on an ultra-complicated fraud case that would probably take weeks/months for an investigator to really begin to understand the full details of.
It is a little more complex than that these days

> to buy an entry level server for the price of a high end one

You pay base price for a mid-range server. You pay the difference to enable the accelerators, if you need them.

What is the problem with that?
This is the idea that I always had but never implemented. I'm glad my dream came true.
I think it's more that as software continues to "eat the world"[1], problems that only exist in the software world are becoming more and more pervasive in other areas of our lives. Even though this paywall affects hardware, I'll bet it's implemented in software.

Honestly, merely limiting drastically the maximum copyright term would probably cover it. (Not just by making things public domain more rapidly, but also by presumably providing pressure on the business models of companies currently relying on the existing duration of copyright.)

Back in 2006, the UK commissioned a report recommending how to revise the copyright system (the Gowers Review of Intellectual Property), and it particularly recommended against any further increases in copyright terms - contra pressure from the music industry - and essentially only didn't argue for decreases because of international obligations. On pages 52 to 55 of the Review, however, there's quite a lot of evidence suggesting that most producers of creative works would not be meaningfully harmed in earning power if the term of copyright was as short as 10 to 20 years after production.

A 10 year copyright term, renewable for a further 10 on application, would do a lot to redress the balance you mention here.
> In reality, nothing has changed because the same pay-ahead option is still there.

That is not true. In the past you have owned a car you bought. Who is going to pay for seat heating if a seat has to be replaced? Who is paying for the fuel caused by the extra weight for stuff you didn't want. What happens if you decide to modify the car you own and run the seat heating yourself?

I can sympathize with your frustration about long web forms, but that seems to me like a separate issue with a separate solution.

People shouldn't be making long forms part of account creation unless absolutely necessary; in which case it should already be obvious to the user that it is.

If it's somehow necessary but not obvious, you can put up a friendly warning. Maybe something like, "Step 1/12" or "expected registration time 15min."
The way everyone seems to demand finished API libraries like spoiled children, it would seem we are building RPC right on the back of REST.
What's changed is now I physically have heated seats and can't use them.
If username is an e-mail then an app probably checks if e-mail domain has configured single sign on (SSO) and, if it has, it redirect you to your company authentication server instead of asking for password.
I pitted Stockfish 14 NNUE against it (only giving stockfish a few seconds per move), it reported a FIDE rating of 2661 (lichess 2891).
I'm not the OP, but it doesn't answer my question - what's their excuse for preventing me for using an existing feature in a product that I purchased?
I wonder when Tesla, Mercedes, etc will figure out that micro transactions for this is a way more lucrative approach.

I’m way more likely to pay let’s say $300 to enable this feature for the weekend to impress a visiting friend or hell at a light next to an annoying BMW M owner that you suddenly need to smack down.

Make it a more affordable impulse buy, they’ll make a ton more money that way.
Eh, there’s money to be made everywhere. Costco and McDonalds make a lot of money too.

Certainly adding arbitrary “upgrades” or higher end models specifically to milk less discerning consumers has proven to be a good business strategy.

I could see laws against arbitrary software gates limiting hardware gaining traction though. I’d like to hope that the manufacturers who don’t use these tactics win out naturally though
I find the ML transcription services, given 2 people speaking English with high quality sound and without heavy accents/a lot of jargon, to be adequate for having a skimmable record--such as for extracting quotations (and just go back to the recording to confirm the exact words if it's not obvious). But if I'm publishing a transcript I get a human transcription. Cleaning up the ML stuff takes way too much time and I wouldn't publish a transcript without cleaning it up.
Really glad to see this! More eyes on axum will make it better and better.

We recently decided to move from Rocket to axum for non-user-facing service to support our platform. Haven't made the decision yet to move the main API, but strongly considering it.

Rocket is really nice, and it's recent stall at 0.5-rc has been jump-started, but I feel that axum has much more momentum. Sergio (Benitez, of Rocket) is fantastic, but only one guy. OTOH, Axum is mostly the pet project of one person as well. If I had to pick analogies, I'd say Rocket is aiming to be more like Django and Axum more like Flask. The latter scope seems much more sustainable by a single person.
I have no clue who SBF, perhaps the title should change to reflect that or at least say in your message.
I played a game, got my estimated rating (pretty accurate!), and a modal dialog box offering me the choice of "enter my email to create a account" or "forget me and play again". Immediately my heart sank. It's 2022, I have enough accounts on enough websites to last a lifetime and am super-sick of the whole "we've sent you an email, be sure to click the link to verify" dance.

Most importantly, what I actually wanted to do was get the game out and analyse it. But now the text was no longer selectable so I had to go grubbing around in devtools.

Turns out the "forget me and play again" button just dismissed the popup and didn't actually start a new game but I had no way of knowing this short of playing another test game in another tab.

Suggestions:
(a) don't use modal dialog boxes! Let me create an account in the middle of a game if I want. Let me copy and paste the moves at any time, including after the game is over. Don't have a button to "play again" if it's not actually going to play again.

(b) asking for email addresses annoys the hell out of people. Let me play again without forgetting who I am. If I want my identity to persist across browser sessions then sure, let me create a username and password. If I want to be sure I don't forget the password, sure, let me tie it to an email address. But it should be step three, not step one. Otherwise people will just never come back.

(c) "excited", "Thanks for the game", the eyebrows? It's a bot, it's not capable of excitement or gratitude or facial expressions. Pretending it is seems, well, patronizing. It's reminiscent of chess.com with its cutesy bots (and persistent nagging).
Different type of insurance, I wonder if anyone would underwrite with better insurance rates if you don't have the faster acceleration? Easier when random features aren't subscriptions that can be turned on/off on a monthly basis.
So, instead of people attacking him for absurdly hyping the model, they attacked the model as being DANGEROUS in order to remove it to .... spite whom exactly? Typical academic catfight

It's really shocking how bad all voice assistants are considering how amazing LLMs are. There must be major effort underway in all companies to upgrade all of them to LLMs in the backend.

OpenAI charges 2 cents per about 750 words (for their best model), or roughly 1 cent per minute of talking. Maybe they can add LLMs as a premium feature, $3 a month for an actually smart home assistant seems like a deal.
So is it better that the demo is down and people can’t easily play/study the model? Who won from them making it less accessible?

Pandora's box was blown open with black powder.

For those with means and motivation (money and machine tools), cheap automatic weapons can be somewhat-easily produced from plans and diagrams online, with parts that can be bought from regular industrial suppliers, or sometimes big-box hardware stores.

Quality is to be suspect, but if you only need to throw out ~20 rounds of 9mm at something that isn't very far away, it'll get the job done.
Once again I think this is going to be a matter of the left wing going "Well, I mean... that's what you get in capitalism when you turn your product into a tool to humiliate your own advertisers". And the right wing going "Oh my god these left wing social activists like... American Express, and these left wing reporters like... Associated Press are attacking Elon because he supports freedom!".

I guess it's up for each of us individually to make a judgement about which side is right.

Also, this is HN so I'll be a little pedantic: you do not HAVE to be nominated to go to a service academy; there are other paths. One such for the Navy is being enlisted and applying to a couple of programs, Nuclear being the most common. Being nominated is only one path, though I believe it is the most common. Note that this is one way in which I know for a fact donations get abused (I went to high school with someone who got a Naval Academy spot because his father donated a large sum, though he did have the grades).
Yeah I definitely don't agree with that opinion. Whistleblowing is about helping the public By doing the right thing for the right reasons. It's a highly moral act. When society puts a higher value on selfishness over selflessness corruption becomes a big part of the problem. We already live in a world where people are too selfish we don't need any more of that.
The only extra information you would be volunteering is that you signed in to a specific website. In most cases, this is not really a big deal.

They were trying to have it both ways, where the headline giveth and the fine print taketh away.

In a better world, this could have been released as "We trained a language model on the scientific literature. We're excited because it is starting to draw conclusions, but there is obviously a lot more to be done. See our evaluation here. Have fun and let us know what you find."

The hype is really annoying and seems bizarre--everyone who even remotely cares knows about Meta already.
Oh absolutely. XML and HTML are the epitome of trying to solve a problem that's not very hard, and not solving it very well.

To be honest projects that constantly and consistently generate smart falsehoods (the "bears in the sky" that the author of the article mentions) don't have any scientific need, so to speak. Or, if they do, I fail to see it.

I would also love more in-depth coverage of her involvement in the early days of the Syrian civil war. Her leaked calendar showed weekly meetings with the Saudi foreign minister (much much more than any other FM), and other leaked documents showed her involvement in arming groups of Saudi jihadists who were flown from Riyadh to northern Iraq and Syria - where ISIS subsequently formed.

I'll also never forget the leak that proved that she encouraged the media to take Trump seriously and "elevate" him in the GOP primary because she thought a radical would be easier to beat in the general election.

She was not fit to be president. 2016 was the year of two horrible choices.

Yeah I'm sure that 66 years is actually how much time that should take and not just a delay tactic. I'm also sure that they aren't going to release anything juicy last.
You can select carbohydrates with a low glycemic index (meaning that your blood sugar rises more slowly). For example, oatmeal has a glycemic index of 55, and pure glucose has a glycemic index of 100, meaning oatmeal spikes your blood sugar only 55% as much. This is true even for two items with identical calories.
This is impossible with baseline humans, no matter how good you make education (without slipping into much heavier indoctrination).

>"Head of team that spent months building complex ML system annoyed when people spend undue amounts of time criticizing it."

What's undue about it? If a team spent months producing a webapp that failed to live up to its claims and was full of security vulnerabilities and inaccuracies, nobody'd expect anyone to moderate their criticism of it. Having a Turing award doesn't mean somebody can't deliver a shit product, and I don't see why it should make them more above criticism than anyone else who delivered something similar.
Of course, if we are talking about alternatives, although you describe "modern capitalism" incorrectly - before the time where supposed "most" would work to make others rich or starve, "almost everyone" would work and also starve :) And whenever they try to build a modern alternative too, the same thing happens.
The correct response to this is more whistleblowing representing more diverse interests, not less.

> We're developing ever more sophisticated narrow AI, not even taking baby steps to proper true AI.

I'm fairly certain you cannot rigourously define "proper true AI", and I'm also fairly certain you don't mechanistically understand how humans think. This raises the question: where does your confidence that our current path is not pretty close to "proper true AI" and/or how humans think come from?
No. Rust doesn't do anything interesting to avoid supply-chain attacks.

Yes, I've already experimented with doing this, see: https://github.com/haberman/llvm-project/commit/e8d9c75bb35c...

But when I tried it on my actual code, the results weren't quite as good as I hoped, due to sub-optimal register allocation.
They do. Try asking it about a field that is very novel or very very niche, and it will point out various links. Biology connections (which are often very vague and open) are good for that. I found that it generated some links between mechanisms that i found interesting.

I once worked for 6 months on a third party integration that got canned. It didn't seem like BS while I was working on it but it was unpleasant to have my work thrown in the trash. Hey, I got my paycheck so I can't complain too much.

Several years later I worked at a company that had a successful product and then the bosses decided to add a chat app as a new product. The bosses thought they could get people to pay for chat.

Everyone else thought it was stupid. People don't pay for chat. I left that company but they did release the chat app after putting maybe 2 or 3 million dollars into it. Of course it was a spectacular failure. I hear that the chat app and it's servers still haven't been shut down, although it is no longer mentioned at all on the company's website.
Agree on removing ideal click count.

That's Meta's choice. Blame the people who chose to take it down, rather than the people who pointed out issues.
I feel we are at crypto/blockchain levelof hype int ML and basically the old saying of "if you are a hammer, everything looks like a nail" applies.

For someone who dedicated their career to ML, they'll naturally try to solve everything in that framework. I observe this in every discipline that falls prey to it's own success. If there's a problem, those in the industry will naturally try to solve it with ML, often completely ignoring practical considerations.

Is the engine in your car underperforming? Let's apply ML. Has your kid bruised their knee while skating? Apply ML to his skating patterns.

The one saving grace of ML is that there are genuinely useful applications among the morass.
