Oof, honestly didn't expect the surge in traffic lol. It should work, as auto-scaling kicks in, etc. Sorry about that!
It already is:

100% agree with a language filter, working on one (along with a better, improved model!)
WAV is just a container format that can hold any audio stream, uncompressed (PCM) or compressed.
If this is true, it seems like a strange thing to worry about since there's plenty of Uniswap v3 liquidity that could cover much more than that.
Don't short it. Buy long term put options and roll it. It's a better way to bet on a collapse.

As to it going up today, it's still a 20b company with huge operational costs and no profits operating in funny money world full of scams, regulatory risk and having very little growth potential (after 13 years of crypto there is still no use case other than going around or breaking the law and it already reached its Super Bowl ads state so it's not like any more adoption is likely).

Yes, you already missed the biggest gain as it's already worth about 25% of what naive public paid but there is still one way to go.
they certainly do. You know I wonder if the mixing of the category was a reflection of what the majority of latinos presented as in some region in the US at the point in time the category was developed. Most of the latinos in the US dating around the time of the genesis of the white category were European phenotype looking. Who knows.
That’s the bursting of a bubble - which is slightly different because of the speculative pressure that creates it, as opposed to pure oversupply
One problem with claiming this area is that you'll be landlocked by 200Km to the nearest sea point. It also doesn't help that the area is in the middle of a land conflict between two countries.

Also, while it's "habitable", it's still the desert. You don't have access to the nile, or the sea. Which means living there will be quite challenging.

Panem et circenses. I think it's unlikely that we'll be able to sufficiently transform the economy so that there is an ample supply of desirable jobs that could more profitably done by robots.
Thanks a lot, definitely have a lot of work to do with improving the model!
Would be interesting to get a list of those 40 papers mentioned
How are they supposed to get to treatment if there isn't a transit system to help them with that?

And of course folks should have housing and treatment. The reason we have issues in some areas is because they aren't doing that. It doesn't meant that we shouldn't provide public transport to everyone that wants it, though. It is quite possible to do more than one thing at the same time.
i agree, prompting, ai is becoming a required skill, but very easy to acquire
> has chosen an industry with access to pyramid scheme money.

Seems you can confusing cryptography with cryptocurrency, this guys is a cryptographer, that's a proper expert level security guy, nothing to do with pyramid scheme money.
I really hate how US politics in the minds of so many has distorted the overall view of the political spectrum and completely destroyed political discourse. Like the democratic party is to the right of many Conservative parties in Western democracies, but if you listen to Fox News commentators or republican politicians, people like Biden are just a slither away from being a soviet apperatchik.
Meta genuinely has a good ad product. It's not hard to setup a campaign that very cost effectively hits an otherwise difficult to target audience that actually has potential for a conversion. It's very easy for Facebook ads to mix media and textual information because it's well integrated with their products that display the same thing.

Google's ads are either contextual to the query, thus, predatory (to both the client and the user) since it's trying to pass off marketing as information, and companies practically have to defensively advertise targeting their own keywords so they outbid competitors doing the same. Or they're video/display ads which are pretty much garbage in their conversion rates because they tend to be interruptive to the product experience and creatively restrictive since they can't mix images, videos, and text in the same ad container. It's also difficult to set up a successful campaign and it's very easy getting burned with expensive mistakes. Nevermind the high amount of fraud in their network and very poor brand safety (ad sharing a context with undesirable content). You can only burn advertisers so many times with poor returns before they start to drastically cut their spend.
Haha, thanks! :)

Will definitely work to improve the current model!
Tell HN: Idea to End TXT Scams
1) Don't ever send app notifications from alphanumeric senders, only ever send from numeric senders to which the recipient can reply

2) When someone creates a relationship with you, use a similar flow to the "double opt-in" for email subscriptions. You send them a welcome notification, and ask them to save the number in their contacts. ONLY ever send notifications from this number

3) Every TXT ends with "Suspicious message? reply REPEAT to re-send the last message we sent you". The user will get used to seeing those notifications from you.

4) The recipient can then reply REPEAT and your system will always re-send the most recent message. If a scammer spoofed a message with your sender ID (which is trivial) the REPEAT will go back to your number (it's much harder to fraudulently receive messages on a number, than it is to fraudulently send messages from a number) and your system replies with the most recent message. If it differs then the suspicious message can be ignored
I think you misinterpret my comment. Being "laid off" is being fired (in consequence) because of the incompetence of your management. It is ironic that the incompetent jerk who ran the business into the ground does get to keep their job.

Now, you raise another point. Unfortunately in the US, being laid off is not supposed to carry a stigma. But ironically in fact, possibly illegally, it really does. Because companies think "gosh: google has 120,000 people. They laid off 12,000, therefore you are in the lowest 10%". Companies are also often very reluctant to fire for incompetence. So a layoff can serve as a cover for "cleaning house". The consequence is that it is always a question afterward: did this guy get laid off because he was the problem child? Why him/her?

When you have a job the recruiters beat a path to your door. When you are laid off, you are in a cycle of endless interviews and are regarded as damaged goods for the fault of bad management.
we can make the extension to pacify your boss :)
AI researcher perhaps, but almost none of them understand cognition. They're focussed on getting something that vaguely resembles a part of the brain to predict the next most likely token. Their idea of cognition apparently stops at Skinner.
Yeah I remember having to buy half life and there wasn’t any recoil yet! Haha. Good ol’ cs_assault days.
It made me realize there are ways for capitalism to be “ethical”, that not all banks are trying to make a profit at all costs and that there are investors that track and optimize for other metrics besides monetary returns, e. g., community impact.
Well I think according karma you have enforced commenting limits, so if you comment only ocassionally you won't notice it, but if you wanna engage in discussion and wanna keep discussing then either you have choice of self censorship (not going against HV hivemind) or face posting limits.

Other than that if you are under 500 you can't downvote other posts (which is actually good thing and I wish we would remove downvoting for everyone).
It's interesting this would pop up, because I was just thinking yesterday about how the holes of cans used to be a different shape. I believe it was mid to late 90's. They switched over to a larger hole.

I was telling my mom and she was telling me that it didn't happen. I was hoping they were going to cover this in the video but no such luck. This did actually happen, right?
My dad browses the web without adblocker on his smartphone and tablet and he never clears his cookies on these devices either. It should be easy to target him with advertisement, and yet he mentioned how irrelevant all the ads are and that he couldn't understand why companies kept paying for them. So they can't show him interesting ads despite observing his browsing activity for years.

I believe the only effective form of online advertisement is saturating search results with sponsored links, which is also kind of scummy because it hinges on making the ads look like regular search results.
Fair. I'd probably reach for it too if I had any kind of frontend required, even if that were just HTML and forms. For server-only applications I'd probably go with FastAPI these days and I'm actually looking forward to an all-in-one framework that encompasses FastAPI as the core.
I always cringe and pull people up when they refer to work / teammates as family. We are all a family here at 'wootsie'.

NO!

Family means you will stick by people no matter what. Your Brother is an ass, he stole your PS5 to score some fentanyl, he is still your brother, you're frustrated with him, but he will always be family. That is a very different loyalty to the people you work with. Fuck up and they will drop you like a hot rock.
The mere fact that you needed to use quotes should clue you in that the scale was fundamentally different between groups. It's not as if th Irish were literal slaves for centuries in America.

Is it truly possible to treat everything equally? I'm always having that strange feeling that people are trying to pursue something impossible, and it is just repetitive history. A language model which was learning from us would treat every single one of us equally? It is year 2023 and they are trying to sell us another Communist Utopia. It will just never happen. These models will be always biased, they will hurt someone badly, they are not perfect, they are based on something vague and non-deterministic like natural language. There is no universal morale you can use which will work for everyone, "hurting" someone with language is not the same as hurting someone physically, splitting humans into women and men, black and white, liberals and conservators, all inside algorithms; building logic on top of that, treating these differently are most destructive and discriminating developments which only promotes more hate in the long-run
I have a similar story from a pc gaming cafe. Someone became convinced I was cheating and pulled a knife out on me. Strange times.
Unless you assume you're not the first one to be experiencing a particular situation. On a broader scale that's the reason why you doomed to repeat history.
Personally, from using it a lot during development, I found that I kinda developed a sense for which types of songs it'll do really well on, and which types of songs it will sometimes struggle with.

But a lot of this should go away with a better, improved model!
You could try NewPipe instead!
Oh classic bugs, yes.

Bugs and Kermit are essentially 'adults' whereas newer kids characters are themselves kind of infantalized, obviously not children, but removed from all hints of potential conflict or ascerbic nature.

I really do feel there's something very creepy and ultimately very obvious happening right in front of us, that we just won't see until retrospect becuase it wasn't a purposeful characterization.

I have some dealings with Spin Master (aka Paw Patrol) and it's 100% 'just business'. It's just a product like anything else: eyeballs, distribution, attention, view count etc..
So the best option is to drink bottled beer from a regional brewery, to keep the shipping costs down.
Does this mean the flood of clickbait and like hunting posts that took over LinkedIn are coming to Hacker News?
People can find their own outlets if given the basic necessities and enough time. I fear this attitude will lead to job programs where people work a 9-5 and achieve essentially nothing, I.e. bullshit jobs.
I'm wondering if anyone has done something similar, but instead of trying to find similarities in the raw audio, they use tags available from sources like Last.FM, Musicbrainz, Discogs etc? And the ultimate answer to that is probably "those sources kinda suck". Discogs is like a trainspotter on the spectrum, fascinated by release IDs. Musicbrainz is kinda similar (each song will have a dozen matches of wildly different quality). Last.FM tags are used-generated which make some of them amazingly useful, and others amazingly detrimental.

I have a human-powered recommendation service that uses my own tags that I've added to my mp3 library over 25 years. I add instruments (not all, just the ones that stands out, like synth, flute, distortion, violin, piano), vocals (male/female, falsetto, spoken, rap), moods (happy, sad, angry, mellow, dramatic, chillout) and genre (I don't go too deep here, because I hate getting recommendations stuck within some obscure sub-genre). And that's it. I get it to play a random highly rated track with a keyword or two, and then use the tags from the first 10 songs to generate the next. But since, for me, music is a somewhat interactive experience, every 10 songs or so, I'll think of something that I want on the list (maybe reminded of it by another one that just played).

Other things I think might be useful for recommendation is Last.FM histories. Think about it, the are hundreds of thousands of active listeners "scrobbling" their listening history. You could easily parse that and group songs together that have been played within 5 songs of each other as long as they're not by the same artist and the time between the songs is around zero (ie: listened to in order, no pauses). Similarity is higher for songs that were next to each other and score drops.
GPT3 can't do math
This has pretty much always been the worst bottleneck, sadly. I worry there aren’t enough incentives for the industry to change its ways.
I really like using the singular for an instance, capitalized singular for the class, and plural for lists of things. card = Card(); cards = {card}

Every now and then there is no plural so you just have to add and s on the end anyhow. sheep = Sheep(); sheeps; Or you can get creative. flock? herd?
Interesting, I specifically do that in order to get a general feeling of what people think of a topic.

Reddit is moderated and curated. Makes sense that it’s often more useful than say, SEO spam. However please note that there’s a ton of advertising hidden in sheep’s skin.
I guess manufacturers went crazy on range because range anxiety was a legitimate blocker for many people. It's so wasteful. Hopefully as charging networks and charging speeds improve, manufacturers start to release smaller vehicles with lower capacities.
I'm always taken aback by this fascination and heroification with John Carmack (or similar figures) on HN. I love Doom and Quake too, but that doesn't qualify him any more than any other random senior engineer to work on something totally different.

From his interviews it looks like he understands little about the technical details of ML, or about as much as anyone can learn in a few months, and is just banking on PR based on his games and name.

I put him into the same category as Elon Musk, who also understand nothing about technical details of AI, but was still able to hire a world class team at OpenAI. His name and fame counts for something in terms of recruiting and joining his venture may be a good bet because of that, but he's not a person whose opinion on the subject matter I would take seriously in the same way I'd take a researcher seriously.
Note to author: 120ms is not 66% less than 200ms but 40%.
Do you see “giftedness” as a 1D score, where someone is either smart or not smart? And presumably this quality happens to correlate with software engineering ability?

I think you’re hinting at some very hurtful, dangerous ideas.
> then ban cash in the mail too

I mean, yeah this is already done. Over $10,000 requires you to file a FinCEN Form 105. The point isn't "you can't send money" its "The US government only wants to allow systems to exist in which it knows who/what/when/where about any non-trivial sized transaction."

If there's an auditable/subpoenable record, they're happy. If not, they're not. Right now they're "not happy" about XMR. Some day they'll ban it.

As for ETH/BTC<-> XMR they'll probably ban that too. Not from a technical perspective but more like "if we catch you sending ETH to that Russian XMR exchange we'll prosecute you."
Definitely understand the current model's shortcomings that people have mentioned.

I actually think this is largely in part due to how the current model + training process is designed.

I have some ideas for improving things on this front, will give it a try and push an update soon! :)
The interesting aspect is the tech folks being laid off right now with automated email, could just as easily have developed the automated tools that automated the email. You have to wonder how many really spent much time outraged to the misfortune of those automated out of jobs by the software they develop (cashiers, accountants, entry clerks..)

I am not saying we should not write software, but don't go crying when the realities of capitalism come for your cushy privileged tech job too.
It's shame posting limits or comment/post throttling is not clearly communicated and we have to only guess, for instance I am pretty sure the cap is even lower than shown, you can get downvoted into oblivion and not just -4, which stops you from commenting since then some severe posting limits are imposed. Not sure how can you then provide counterarguments when there is bunch of people brigading on you and you are supposed to discuss with them when they just decide they downvote you and limit you to what 5-10 comments per day, then whole point of discussion is meaningless and it's no point even try to exchange opinions when you know how it will end up.
I wonder if one day we'd have companies that hire devs, then another company would contract them to work on specific open source packages.

Seems like the easiest approach for a business. Finding a person then issuing a free lance contract is a lot of overhead.
Front end conference https://aneventapart.com because it helped focus on the important parts of the web, like new standard features and accessibility.
The top sits on the rim of the can then the edge is rolled closed like a tin can. Sealing takes a fraction of a second. There isn't really time for pressure to build under the lid before it is sealed.
Why is this even on hacker news.
Thanks for your feedback!! Yup, model can definitely be improved (and perhaps I should also add a language filter)! Noted! :)

Great! Now we have to manage the "managers" and also do the work.
This approach is better for remix beat-matching than as new song recs, IMO.
IMHO, for music, e.g., violin music, better than a robot playing a real violin is just a computer with some software, apparently still needing development, making the sounds of a violin, piano, orchestra, etc. I think of this future much like typewriters getting replaced by computers and word processing. But in both cases there are humans involved in the performance.

BUT: There is a lot of culture surrounding music from its performance, and tough to get any of that from a computer performance. So, grand concert halls, orchestras, conductors, violinists, and famous, old violins have not much place in that future.

But, to some extent, some of the music, even if performed by a computer with software with a human using the software as a tool does have a future.
Could you provide links to a few Go packages, which implement useful generic-based data structures?
- Single Variable and Multivariate Calculus from MIT-OCW was my first ever MOOC. Was in Junior year in High School. This changed for my whole life how I see Math, learning, and knowledge itself. Before it, I was just a algorithm-following, practicing, A+ getting student with not much love for Math. This enabled me to learn Math properly.

- Not a MOOC, but I read Fundamentals of Physics by Halliday, Resnick, Walker, and it also had the same big impact on me- in terms of changing my whole worldview about learning and knowledge and books.

- In my last year of college, I took IBM Data Science Professional Certificate course on Coursera. It did not have much technical depth at all. But it introduced me to Data Science.

- Then I took Andrew Ng's ML and DL on Coursera. Learned a lot. Connected the dots from back. Learning the Math properly that was triggered by MIT-OCW, finally paid off as all ML concepts were promptly undetstood by me.

- fast.ai course. It helped me build practical AI projects. Jeremy Howard is among the best instructors out there. I got my first job after this course. I made a lot of projects as well.

- Deep Learning course by Yann LeCun and Alfredo Canziani from NYU. Learned most DL from this course. It has made me a much better researcher.

____

What has had the most impact in my life is that I learned Math properly early in life. I don't mean like being a Math whiz. I was never that, and never tried. But understanding each concept in Math from the ground up- from HS Junior year to Master’s degree- has made all the difference.

____

Not impactful yet, but learning came in a full circle after going through:

- Mathematics for Machine Learning from Imperial College, London.

- Computational Neuroscience from Neuromatch Academy. It has unlocked the "Hacker mentality" in me.
I just use the term "crypto bro" broadly to refer to anyone who benefits, directly or indirectly, from cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and things like that. I do consciously choose a term that expresses the fact that I have a negative attitude towards those things as I believe that they're not "honest money".

Taking Google-money means taking money that's earned through surveillance capitalism and anticompetitive tactics deployed by a monopolist that erode our free markets. Taking crypto-money means taking money earned through "greater fool theory" of valuations of investable assets.

People, on the whole, are never all-good or all-bad. When I see somebody showing off their good sides, I instinctively start looking for the bad. When I see somebody owning up to their bad side, I instinctively start looking for the good.

The good in this person is that he does open source. But that doesn't make him an angel. The bad in this person is that he's a top earner in part because he takes money that causes bad things to happen in the economy. As to his personality, I simply have no information on that and have never met him.
Algorithms and data structure is the only career-related value I got out of university. It was essential knowledge.

However the mandatory engineering class were the most valuable overall, as I would never have studied those otherwise. They keep coming up in everyday life.

In community college (rough approximation of what CÉGEP is), I had a bunch of bullshit classes that changed the course of my private life: film, photography, philosophy, etc. It made me amore well-rounded person, even though I didn't see the point at the time. That's why the classes were mandatory.
Thanks for very strong argument :)
