That is correct. The pedantic and accurate term would be "objective" since they are basically modify the win conditions of the round, but I chose to use the word "style" because it comes down to how you want to play the game.

There are many players that play "cs_" maps where you're technically supposed to be grabbing hostages and returning them to the spawn zone, but many players chose to play those maps in a different style where they just eliminate all the other players or run out the timer.

Likewise on "de_" maps you're supposed to plant the bomb, but instead many players choose to simply use the bomb to pressure (by essentially tricking the enemy into thinking you care about the bomb) people into situations and trade out kills.

Yes, they could declare any exchange that offers XMR to customers as banned, and no financial institution that trades with that exchange would be allowed to trade with a US bank. That's how US sanctions typically work. Most likely, that exchange would quickly stop offering XMR trades itself.

And even if they didn't, that BTC could indeed no longer be allowed in the US controlled banking system (which is far larger than the West).

Of course, if your friend were able to redeem buy actual goods for XMR and send those back to you, great. But what goods vendor would want to own XMR in a world where no institution that does business with banks would want it?

Note that what I'm saying is not purely theoretical - this is the status of Tornado Cash - where they went so far as to arrest developers of that. And banned BTC also exist - there are BTC that are illegal to own, and wallet addresses that are illegal to trade with.
That's an odd take.

Yes, then DNS sinkhole is the way to go because it cannot be detected and won't break stuff.
Could just calculate checksum for decompressed archive at that point. Still want to store it on server/client as compressed file and there is no point making transfer side more complex.

Would probably want to store expected file size together with checksum to avoid the "compressed stream of endless zeroes" attack vector
That's an amazing similitude, I must note it down. I reckon the last bit could be even "got to fetch it from the network", since you'll likely have to hit Stack overflow..

I read your perspectives on intellectual loneliness and wondered round for an embarrassing period (this is my first encounter with this site… I’m also a dinosaur) in an effort to thank you. It did a great deal for me, not because I’m a genius, not that I have a sob story, not like some genuinely have.
I realised young that it was strange to ask why it was so important to seemingly everyone else that this ball, this fecking spherical sack of air, went over there. Fame fortune and sex if I was the cause of it resulting to be ‘over there’. Hahaha I didn’t hate it, it was fine. Still not 100 convinced that people can love it as much as they say they do though. Other authors are available :)
As I say though. Thank you for spending the/your time. It’s made a difference

Cryptocurrency is one way of applying cryptography, and the article mentions "Filecoin", whatever that is.

Even aside from cryptocurrency, blockchain, NFTs and that kind of stuff, there's a lot to question when it comes to the ethics of the computer security industry. A lot of it is snake oil, like Firewalls that basically whitelist everything so as not to become annoying. A lot of it is a racket (e.g. you can't get insurance for your company if it doesn't have antivirus software). VPNs basically make money by helping people break the law by circumventing geoblocking. I could go on, but I won't.
I don't believe it is so straight forward. Aluminium smeltering is an extremely CO2 intensive process (essentially you need a lot of natural gas to generate the heat, I think there are experiments with hydrogen but they are nowhere ready yet). Moreover in contrast to glass recycling where you can reuse the bottle (common in many areas), that's not possible with aluminium. The big advantage is weight, so a comparison between glass and aluminium typically depends a lot on transportation distances and how complex recycling processes are.
You'd probably want to limit the size of decompression so no 10TB of zeroes compressed to small size. But that's not that hard

A good environmentalist choice! Napalm and flesh produce far less carbon dioxide than a transaction to buy cryptocoins.
Seems cool and I understand you're getting hugged to death by HN right now but I could not use it because the search was too slow and as soon as I change focus to another window for example, it removes whatever I wrote in the search bar so unfortunately completely useless due to this bug.
I thought about remarking on documentation, but I wanted to keep the comment brief.

Even where we have documentation, what experience buys you — what Alice in the example has — is that she's going to the documentation to spur her memory, as a quick double check, and just to give her a good guide rail to make sure she hasn't missed anything. But because she knows the area, she can still be quick about it. Someone new to the system are stuck using the docs not for reference, but for tutorial and basic understanding. They're going to need to read every word, and worse, comprehend every word, and that will take far, far more effort than the "I'm a bit foggy on detail D, what did the docs say? Oh right." that Alice would be doing.

But let's accept your "Maybe that the system is badly implentmented" — quite possibly! But it's the experience of having worked with it, learned how it modeled its problem, and learned how its model falls down and then, finally, that insight into "this would be a better way". That takes time and understanding, if you want to build a next system, particularly one that avoids a second-system effect.

Oftentimes, the questions or problems are of the form "we have tool X, and it does job J, but we have this other job, J', and it's … sort of like J? Can tool X do it?" Now tool X has never encountered this particular problem — by definition it cannot be documented — and it might be we need to change tool X. Again, experience makes this take a lot less time. Even for a well designed system, it still requires someone new to it to dig in and figure out first how it ticks before they can even approach such a question.

The reality is, of course, far less rosy, and there are many places where the docs could be better, often a lot better. But we've lost the most qualified person to improve them!
> Examples are bots, crawlers, more kids playing with iPads, or malicious website design, e.g, I have clicked on ads because I was tricked on it by the HTML/JS

Google considers all of those spam, and goes to great lengths to detect them, refund them, and remove them from the stats. Changes in spam-cleaned CTR, which is what advertisers see and what Google talks about for aggregate metrics, should not be explainable with any of those.

Also, even in the short term, CTR as a primary metric only matters if you're paying a fixed amount per impression on a fixed number of impressions - i.e., almost never, unless you're looking at a particular fixed subset of the network. If prices go down, e.g. because of adding enough new inventory to decreases auction pressure, or if you add new lower-CTR inventory in a CPC auction, then the total amount of ad spend can still go up as CTR goes down. Google-wide CTR has been dropping for years, mostly due to mix shifts. In particular, Youtube ads, which have lower CTR than search, have been growing a lot faster.
Thanks! Definitely welcome all the feedback here.

Gonna ship a better, improved model soon!
What is the proportion of ads revenue is generated from search compared to maps, youtube and their other sources?
I’d argue “learning and remembering” is the core issue here, and the other things you’ve mentioned are just ways humans use that ability. I took a “Knowledge Based AI” course and it really opened my eyes to how central a knowledge system is to cognition. I wouldn’t call what LLMs have knowledge since it lacks structure, though I’m very much a novice on the exact details there.

Well actually #3 isn’t great bc what exactly would you call taking input from a human and displaying output, much less e.g. controlling a smart home? Seems like LLMs are plenty smart enough to interact with things.

I was offline last night and didn't see it until now. It was downweighted, I assume as yet-another-Twitter-drama story, but I agree this was above the line for significant new information (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...) so I've belatedly turned off the downweight and re-upped it.

They can but it’s pretty rare for them to do anything about it (and even then it’s normally just a full page div that’s easy to remove with dev tools).

I use nextdns (because I was too lazy to setup pi-hole), which has a simple ui for whitelisting domains as and when I can’t get around one (though usually it’s down to a tracking script breaking a site when it fails to load).
Nothing changed really. Microsoft or Apple don't provide updates for third party software and people install stuff on it.
I took this screenshot sometime in 1999 of the CS Beta: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/897901358999548004/10...

I got obsessed with his ideas after reading the Quake 3 source code. So many novel ideas, flawlessly executed, highly optimized, yet easy to understand and easy to modify and debug.

My personal impression is that John Carmack has the ability to organize concepts in a way that few people can. So even if he's pretty clueless about the topic now, I would expect him to reduce some maths papers to their essence in a way that nobody else did.

I mean also for Oculus, reprojection in a pixel shader seems like an obvious and easy solution in hindsight. But nobody had tried that before he did. Plenty of people (myself included) knew the math. But we all missed its application to the issue at hand.
Go is about productivity. It allows writing, extending and maintaining big codebases with lower efforts comparing to assembly or some other programming language out there. This is because of simple "what you read is what you get" syntax without implicit code execution. Generics break this feature :(

Of course, there are other brilliant features in Go ecosystem, which simplify writing and maintaining non-trivial codebases in Go - tooling, standard library, fast compile times, statically linked binaries, etc.

Sorry! The service is sometimes bugging out due to the recent surge in traffic, which is causing some songs to consistently fail.

Things should become much more reliable and better soon!

Also, sometimes there's a delay between when a song is available in the text search bar, and when it has been indexed with my AI model (which can also cause this error).

This will also be fixed!
What struck me here is that the idea of "five Franks and ten Amys" seems like a fundamentally wrong way to think about it. After all, if I do some work in an Excel sheet, I don't think of it, much less pay for it, as an equivalent of X accountants that could do the same job in the same amount of time without a computer. But then again, this is probably the best way to extract as much profit out of it.
Discogs is great, it just doesn't concern it self with how the music sounds...
This is usually a sign of advertiser flight. Usually big reputable brands are easily the top bidders getting their ads shown, and in the absence of those, the much lower bidding scams can get through.

I’m pretty sure that’s fully accurate. Filippo mentioned one of his backers is the Interchain Foundation [1], and several others of his backers are at the very least cryptocurrency/web3 adjacent. Note, the GP didn’t say that Filippo is working directly on cryptocurrency - but that the funding is likely (at least in part) coming from cryptocurrency profits.

Yea, this is due to a shortcoming in the current model's design.

It mentions it as one of the well-known outputs of a company he consults for. I am confident that he is not working on a cryptocurrency at all.

If your definition of "crypto bro" is so broad to include "receives money from any person or company that has ever incidentally done anything with cryptocurrency" you've basically painted the entire industry that way.

Just because it mentions "Filecoin, whatever that is" doesn't imply that he's working in cryptocurrency.

I use "crypto bro" to describe people who actively work/invest in cryptocurrency directly and/or evangelize it. This usage does not intersect with Filippo at all.

> 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.

I don't believe he had anything to do with hiring at openAI nor that he is anything more there than an investor/donor as others are.
So it sounds like we'll have a few different realities then:
1. An Apple near-monopoly for mobile devices and personal computers (i.e. laptops) owned by individuals, and probably big inroads into corporate desktops too.
2. A Microsoft monopoly for enterprise crap and most business computing.
3. Linux for internet stuff and rebels. The problem here will be poor hardware availability if you aren't building servers, unless that Asahi Linux project (Linux on Mac M1/M2) works out.

> Sorry if I'm not tip-toeing around your delicate feelings

Don't be, my feelings are not delicate, why do you assume that?

> Is it really that difficult and frustrating for you not to openly act like a racist sexist homophobic transphobic bigot in public?

It's not difficult for me at all since I'm neither of those things. The issue I have with wokeism is exactly that - it's making people who are not racist afraid to speak their minds because an angry mob may misinterpret their words and crucify/cancel them. This hinders public discussion and scientific progress, which I believe is exactly what happens in case of OpenAI having to waste time on those filters.

Digging old quotes is actually one of the perfect ChatGPT use-cases:

bot: "Take one watch or three, but always be on time."

me: Origin?

bot: This quote is often attributed to British admiral and explorer, Horatio Nelson. However, there is no definitive evidence to support this claim. It is possible that this phrase has evolved over time and has been adopted as a quote attributed to Nelson due to his association with naval and maritime history.

OK, but I'll concede it does SOMETHING pretty wild. Just not necessarily something good for recommendations.

Because I tried another song: "Sam Sweeney - The King of Prussia's March", and the second recommendation was "Polsk Nr. 48" by Rasmus Storm.

The wild thing? Well, first of all, Rasmus Storm isn't strictly speaking the artist. He was the composer. He was a 17th century Danish fiddler, who - rarely for his time and social standing - knew music notation, and wrote down his tunes in a book.

The crazy thing is that in that same book, "Murchy nr. 14" is the tune better known in England as "The King of Prussia's March"!

The odds of that happening by chance has to be absolutely tiny. "Obscure" doesn't even begin to describe it when it comes to Rasmus Storm's notebook.
Wait, you really don't hear the similarity? To me the two pieces sound uncanny close. The tempo sure, but also the rhythm guitar does almost the same thing, and the higher pitched instruments in both have similar timbre and do similar things. You could probably mix the two pieces together and it'd sound alright.

This happened to me before, I'd point out that for example Reckoning Song and Counting Stars are the same song, but people would swear they have nothing in common. Or Sail vs Believer, why was the second one even made. Is it that people focus mostly on the manner/vibe of a song, and don't notice what it actually sounds like?

Perhaps not directly, but from the very start OpenAI was considered "Elon's AI company" and people wanted to work there because they wanted to work with Elon. That had a huge effect on what kind of talent OpenAI was able to hire.

Yes, I'm aware that Ilya had much more day-to-day impact, but if you're part of the ML research community and have worked with Ilya, or heard rumors of working with Ilya, that may have had more of a negative effect...
Good point, although some background info should be noted: Vedal worked on Neuro-sama for about 10 years, and for most of that time it was a NN with a singular task of playing "osu!". I think it's only this year that he implemented a chatbot with TTS for her debut on Twitch. Although Neuro-sama is an impressive application of several existing technologies to make a virtual entertainer, under the hood Neuro-sama is several specialized NNs (one to play Osu, one to play minecraft, one for chat, and one for TTS) that, for the most part, don't know what the other is doing as very little data is passed between them. There is no scientific innovation or any claims of higher intelligence, but I think it's still a very cool system from hobby-engineering point of view. Neuro-sama is a ditz, but a funny one.
yup. People make it sound like it's impossible to predict the market. On the other hand, what is the logic in overhiring - we expect search revenue (bulk of the revenue) to spike in the next few years, so we will hire 50,000 more engineers to... do what? build more search that's already built? and if things don't work out, we'll just get rid of them?
So it's incredibly easy to detect.
