Did they do something else other than just popping CTE queries into temp tables? In my experience, _just_ doing that doesn't affect readability much at all.
Sure it is, raising rates, e.g. 0.25 this time, 0.50 this time, etc results in increased likelihood of a recession. This is why the rate has been slowing down (e.g. 0.75 last time to a likely 0.50 this time) in order to have a soft landing.
Ok so it wouldn't be a public blockchain. The point is that when you replicate data you reject it if it doesn't conform to some ruleset. That way data that would break the system fails to replicate, and the scope of the problem is limited to whoever (or whatever) entered the bad data.
Mining generally pollutes in relation to the price. You can usually immobilize anything by conversion to sulfides and carbonates, but that may not be economical.

Surprised no one has commented this but the latency requires the model to be trained in tiny fragments on each device which is currently a field of research that is being explored. As it stands now basically all of a model needs to be loaded into memory.

There’s a whole field here and people exploring this problem, colloquially solving this would enable Federated Learning and whoever figures this out will far eclipse OpenAI (if it’s ever solved).
Can you explain what you’d do differently?
I think the second part of what you said is key. Seeing this thread hit top of HN I can see there's a desire or need for something like this, but how you'd even go implementing it, I have no idea. I have mildly speculative ideas but nothing that would result in a successful outcome. So it's like OK, lets say you crowdsource even $20m, now what. What's the structure of this thing that has $20m, how do you use it, what do you build, how do you give access to other people? My gut says, co-op style entity, no shares, its membership based, people put in the money for that and infra costs. You don't try do anything fancy, buy compute for cheap, Hetzner, bare metal elsewhere, whatever, find the best open source project currently for GPT and start to run it, provide an API to it and then start to gauge feedback, do everything in the open, hold weekly meetings, be totally transparent about the costs. Ultimately sustainability is still hard because people are crowdfunding you, so is that forever? Is there a self sustainable model there? So many questions.
Thanks for your feedback, we'll do a review of our onboarding.
I am ignorant on the topic, but strategical, wouldn’t it be better to wait until supply disruptions, while keeping the reserves accessible quickly.
Sorry, yes, I should have specified that that result part is on top of the dopamine from the debugging phase.
The paragraph about Mortal Computation is worth repeating:

If these FF networks can be proven to scale or made to scale similarly to BP networks, this would enable making hardware several orders of magnitude more efficient, for the price of loosing the ability to make exact copies of models to other computers.
(The loss of reproducibility sits well with the tradition of scientific papers anyway/s;)

2.) How does this paper relate to Hintons feedback alignment from 5 years ago? I remember it was feedback without derivatives. What are the key new ideas? To adjust the output of each individual layer to be big for positive cases and small for negative cases without any feedback? Have these approaches been combined?

Of course, and on home insulation state. I'm just pointing out that the threshold to look at during isn't the one described. The specific numbers were just to illustrate the principle.
That's not a flaw in heat pumps, that's just the sizing of the system.

A good designer will not oversize HVAC for edge cases like a once-a-decade weather system. You will size it to meet typical conditions, saving money and increasing efficiency by having a 4 ton heat pump vs 6.

For heating conditions, the typical workaround to meet demand in edge case extreme or long term cold is to add resistive heat pumps, which are much cheaper than upsizing the whole system. Though they are less efficient and therefore cost more to operate, they will only be used a few days a year when the heat pump loses ground.

I have a 60kBtu/h ground-source heat pump backed up by 7kW heat strips that replaced a 110kBtu/h gas furnace. The heat pump meets our needs for probably 51 weeks a year. Typically we will have the strips kick on during a few days in February. But it saves us a ton of money not having to have a second heat pump or larger ground loop system.
Just curious, why would one want to avoid citing Schmidhuber's work?

This is a situation where tossing the whole damn thing out and starting over again would be productive. The systems that lead to the creation of these half-fossilized government projects (that still don't work!) will not change and needs to be tossed.
I agree that S. Korean film and series production is so good right now that it lays bare the USA's tired weekend movie tropes.

The peak blockbusters still come occasionally, and the grittier, meatier content is available in droves on streaming services from US and UK productions at least. This is the golden age of television, despite Disney. If you aren't seeing some of the incredible series listed in sister threads, I suggest you give them a shot.

Or just peruse rotten tomatoes. There's more richness out there, but the signal to noise may have gotten slightly worse.
Demonstrably flu vaccines do not effectively avert risk. Demonstrably auto safety standards do not avert risk.

But they do. And they've been so incredibly effective that we have collectively forgotten what risk used to feel like, so we're ready to say we don't need these standards/organizations or that they're not working. Obviously this is not to say they are perfect or free from criticism. But it's not just theatre.

I don't know how the Mazda one works, but for Volvo you actually get 1-pedal driving if you want. Set the speed a bit lower than your expected speed (for example in crowded areas), then accelerate as you wish. Once you take your foot off the gas, the car is set at a lower speed, so it brakes for you if needed.

Ta-da! 1 pedal driving :-)
Seems like Space-X is a counterpoint to this type of operation. They are much more efficient and have been rather reliable.
Makes sense. Come to think of it, I would also caveat threaded (as in forth subroutine-threading not as in thread-local) code as showing up fuzzily for my approach.
So am I reading this right: If I have $1m of Tesla stock, and I borrow $1m to buy crypto, that’s zero “net borrowing,” because the stock is “liquid” so I can just repay the loan at any time. Then they both go down by 50%. Now I need more “liquidity,” i.e. to borrow more money, which apparently grows on trees.
The Nova program 'Race to Zero'(I think) has a great overview on Bohr and his contemporaries to induce liquid phase of the lowest elements.

As with you and your captive family in occupied Iran, I too abhor violence. The young man executed was accused of violence, and the "confession" obtained under torture. It is indeed the inherent "violent" nature of I.R. that is a blight on the Iranian nation. This nature was manifested, in words and deeds, from the very day that this minority assumed control over the destiny of Iran.

As a member of Iranian diaspora, my deep conviction is that decisions regarding the removal of this national & spiritual abomination from Iran and its future political orientation are primarily in the hands of Iranians who have lived and continue to reside in occupied Iran. Per your stated personal family sketch, you should be well familiar with Bahareh Hedayati who addressed the issue of violence in context of revolution in her letter from Evin. She is not alone in declaring that there remains no possibility of reforming the abomination, and as you must know, she is merely one out of thousands of the best of Iranians who are now held, illegally, in dungeons of the occupying regime of the so-called Islamic Republic. If you wish to discuss the mechanics of revolution and what is or is not acceptable, it would be best to direct your thoughts to those quarters. As it is, your comment in HN casting shade using "violence" seems 'misplaced'.
I don’t think we have much disagreement here. My first two recommendations totally connect with needing to help people who are too firmly entrenched in one end of the stable-volatile spectrum.

The blog post itself describes a common evolution from volatile to stable through the course of an individual career, so I’m sure the author would agree that no person is predetermined as one or the other for life.

Lastly, I think ideas like volatile-stable have _explanatory_ value more than _predictive_ value. It can help defuse a tense situation to see that a team is falling into a common, age-old trap and then let the creativity of the whole team figure out how to solve it.

I don’t think we disagree as much as you seem to think we do. :)
That’s a decent read, but I also take issue with the either/or mentality. Like there’s plenty of people whom the author would call "stables" that are frankly just slow, don't care, and/or don’t want to do much work, no matter how behind a project is. Similarly, there’s plenty of people who they call "volatiles" that aren't just cutting corners and hacking without caring about scale, but are just more comfortable with working and delivering incrementally.

You will have to ask some heralds. You probably have a "badge", which is a diminuitive/selected feature set of a "crest". The design elements of a crest or badge are described as as "a blazon".

heraldric blazons are their own little DSL, so you'll need to know how to encode the crest into that language. And of course, it's not just one language; it's many that vary by nation-state-ish-thing, time, etc. You'll want to find a herald who knows about the continental blazoning styles.

Point 2 is very important. All the prior authorization paperwork, forms, sequence of tests are not necessary. Those are imposed by regulations and insurance on the providers. Outcomes are not any better due to that.

You don't need to go much further than Asian countries to see how less paperwork makes things move fast.
At some point in their career the problem they're trying to solve will overwhelm even their own abilities - it just hasn't happened yet, but when it does, they'll be in for a reckoning.

All of the tooling, and processes, documentation, and code modularization that it takes us mortals to build complex things - this guy likely does in his sleep without it, until there's a problem he'll face where he can't anymore. He hasn't learned the curse of the gifted. You might have met this guy in high school - didn't need to study for his tests, aced most of his classes, then he specialized in college and ran into trouble because he never bothered to build such rigor into what he set out to achieve, it came naturally - and the longer that problem occurs the harder it becomes to learn the kinds of things that us mere mortals require.

Initially yes, so simple commands to APIs works, I've done this. What's harder and actually requires programming is when you want to combine the use of multiple APIs into some sort of workflow. You could start to write some sort of DSL for this but actually seeing how ChatGPT works, its going to be far more effective to have something interpret human language and write something that will trigger the APIs as and when it needs to.
I knew this would be in here somewhere. This definitely stirred something when I first saw it. If I hadn't already begun a career in computers, I'm certain this would've catalyzed it.

Indeed. Good news you don't have to buy a smart TV anymore because huge monitors and projectors have recently became very good and affordable. You can then add exactly the smart features you want and control them with help of whatever a set-top-box/etc you choose.

BTW there also are more minor annoyances advertised as features.

No, the comment didn't say that most of the bad things were crypto, just that most of the crypto stuff was bad things.

Sadly, this level where people don't distinguish "A subset of B" from "B subset of A" is typical to all discussions related to crypto.
Ask HN: Old thread – Video Lectures pulled for lack of Subtitles
I'm looking for an old front page HN discussion, quite popular at the time, about some US university that was admonished (sued?) for having auto-subtitled videos on YouTube, a breach of accessibility, and ended up pulling all content, at least temporarily.

The entity behind the push used a video of Lady Gaga visiting campus as an example of the auto-subtitler fumbling its job.

I honestly always expect Wikipedia to be the first result for these basic searches.

Is there a way to report this to Wikipedia so that they can try to fix their referencing?

The private insurance model is still a horribly broken concept that needs to be addressed as well.

As someone living in the UK I've never really felt the desire to make a 'company', but I would like to run a website some day, which permits user registrations. Something like a forum, which I wouldn't run for profit. The fact that I need to implement external age verification, so some other for-profit business knows who my users are is such a sad prospect that I just won't bother with a website.

Additionally, I'd be reluctant to hand over my personal data just so I can be in a few Discord rooms.

> Afaict, the idea is to compute the gradients layer by layer and applying them immediately without bothering to back-propagate from the outputs.

I'm not sure where you get that impression. Forward-Forward [1] seems to eschew gradients entirely:

The Forward-Forward algorithm replaces the forward and backward passes of backpropagation by two forward passes, one with positive (i.e. real) data and the other with negative data which could be generated by the network itself

Done correctly, this is great for employees, their morale, and their productivity.

I have seen it done at a number of companies. The only two I ever saw it done correctly were a less than 50 people consulting firm I worked at called MCCI (led by a bona fide genius named Terry Moore), and third-hand at a statistical analysis firm called SAS (known for many best practices at the time).

Put another way: In theory this will work, in practice theory often doesn't.

What I have usually seen is some combination of:

* Workers are informally racked and stacked according to the time they take off

* Workers get pushed to meet deadlines and PTO necessary for physical health, mental health, or to meet family commitments is denied until the deadline is met

* Burnout rates increase

* Worker churn increases, due to the above

That said, Microsoft has innovated in a number of ways and seems to be a decent company to work for now (depending on the team), from what I hear from friends. I hope they implement this well, and it serves as a blueprint for others.

Because we should all be able to stay home and recover when sick (and not infect others), and we should all be able to take a mental health day when needed. There will be people who abuse it, but that will wind up fairly obvious and those people can be fired after sufficient documentation of poor performance.

Does anyone know if they work in old houses?

We have a stone house built in ~1800. We have upgraded with insulation in the floors, walls ceiling, but of course it is still fairly draughty if it is windy.

It's damn expensive to heat, and have considered an air source heat pump, but always thought that it wasn't really a good idea for old houses.
