Thanks, generally agree with your assessment.

Might be wrong, but it’s likely that only real solution is for the organization to introduce controls that attempt to put distance between the donors and operations of organization. Issue is donors, especially large ones, are very aware that organizations crave additional funds and often willing to bend the operations and positioning of an organization to gain them.

Beyond that, free speech is complex topic, so one for which I am sure I lack an even partial understanding of. I can easily see how hate speech is outsides of free speech in part because it feels without fail it’s only matter of time before someone takes the words to heart and lashes out in violence.

Given it appears only four lawyers at ACLU actually engage in free speech litigation according to prior article I linked to, beyond ACLU brand recognition and legacy funding, likely be worth funding and alternative organization instead of waiting for ACLU to default on its founding principals; possible retired ACLU free speech attorneys would be willing to mentor and advise these new attorneys.

Lastly, ACLU might easily address issue by making their potential case review assessments public and requiring those assessments include disclosure of any conflicting values and beliefs related to the case, especially case which they choose not to represent.

I'm reminded of the saying:

"tax what you want less of"

I wonder if this is a good move or one that will hurt the company in the long run.
Good things to keep in mind
You get it, which makes me feel slightly less crazy.

I think you're missing the point here. Because I don't say anything in the line of that.

What I say is, this is a double-use technology and dangerous beyond a certain point, so it might need to be regulated or banned at the end of the day.

In an ideal world, we shouldn't need this, but we don't live that ideal world.

For example, I can't independently develop an amateur rocket which can land to an area of my choosing by the means of actively directing itself, beyond a certain accuracy and precision. Because it'll be a homing missile. On the same essence I can say that this technology can be used to damage other people.

Or, I can't get some enriched uranium to build myself a small, teapot sized reactor to power my house during power outages.

Can we say that we're censoring research in this areas too, because they're low security things?

This is same with latest A.I. developments. However I'm a bit busy to open these cans today.
It's a long chain of avoidable mistakes, each contributing to the next one, culminating on the deaths of far too many people who didn't make any mistake.
Cloudflare pricing is crazy rabbit hole. What are the triggers the need to migrate to Cloudflare enterprise? moreover is possible to just be pay-per use?
People not seeing anything sinister in these infinite loops of "content" are baffling me. These loops, the very loopy quality of those things get burned into infant subconscious, and that's no small deal.

I once watched my nephew, 3 yo, having what I can best describe as a psychotic breakdown, hysterically crying out the same word, 'cartoon', interleaved with convulsive grasping for air, every few seconds for an hour straight, like a machine, when he was deprived of 'cartoons' as a penalty for his 'bad behavior', and nobody, including his mom, my sister, who spinelessly managed to outsource his upbringing to YT, could pull him out of that loop. That was really scary to see.

Imagine YT going instantly offline worldwide, what would happen to all those poor little cartoon burnouts?
No matter how you took it, I want to say that there are others here who appreciate your presence.
It's funny that all of these weird fantasies people have about AI are about replacing the rank and file workers. Why isn't anyone fantasizing about building an AI that out-performs the best stock traders, or captains an industry better than famous CEOs. I think a lot of it is just people projecting weird power fantasies on others.
My take on this is that if anyone can learn a particular skill entirely from an AI, then it's not a skill you'd be able to monetize.

And I really have no idea what, if any, are skills that AIs wouldn't be able to tackle in a decade.

Thats even more reason to switch to Route 53. I didn't choose cloudflare at the beginning but its clear its a bit of a liability here.

To put it in perspective, we had to send out apology emails to very irate customers when our system went down for 10 minutes in December.

edit: Route 53 not S3*
100% with you on this one. And we need to make sure parents have the resources to learn themselves. So many parents these days are not even aware how accessible bad content is, or they even consume it themselves, not knowing why it’s bad.

As always with parenting there is no 100% right way to do it, but parents need to be educated first, so that they can make reasonable decisions by themselves.

Why prescient? Did it really predate the relevant scientific understanding?
I don't understand the downvotes. The parent has added relevant information, sourced it, and the source agrees.
Can someone explain to me why anyone would pay for this SaaS, and instead just use an api from all markets?
Happy to say that I am a father of four and have no clue what CoComelon is. Our solution to "screen time" has been an hour of Sonic or Kirby on the weekend and educational-only videos during the week which have something to do with whatever they are talking about or learning that day.

For example, our kitchen has a number of large windows and the birds love to eat in front of it. My five year old has become obsessed with birds and specifically sparrows. My wife found a Youtube video about sparrows, it was a powerpoint with voice-over, and the kids ate that up.

I think that tech and especially videos/games can be very dangerous. I wasted days of my life in grade school playing Halo 2 and later GTA and COD. I wish that my parents had attempted to restrict my time. I also think tech can be really useful for parents to help teach beyond their skillset. Just the line you walk between this too is very tricky.
Well you did question if I was a cheap and lonely Russian bot. Only way I could think to respond to that is to communicate my motivation for posting. I'm glad you respect Musk's conservative opinions. He did fire quite a few workers and there are quite a few people out there who dislike him though. I don't know maybe I'm overthinking things. I feel like an overturned tortoise baking in the desert sun.
While not sure if it will help/matter for the OP, I'd like to confirm the idea/thought of using (ground-plane-having-for-back-lobe-suppressing) axial-firing helix antennas, in pairs, to do circular polarization MIMO on the point-to-point long-distance links. So one clockwise and one counter-clockwise helix, connected to the two antenna ports on a cheap 2.4 GHz router.

Gain seems to max out around 15 dBd, in that case, for a 90cm long antenna of ~5cm diameter. The beauty of circular polarization there is the independence of mounting angles/matching rotations, but I guess a small forest of H/V dual-polarization Yagi's (or, for routers with 3X3 MIMO, 3 equally-spaced polarization directions, assuming that works without breaking the workings of the Yagi) might be easier due to the potential for a solid metal center pillar to hold the elements.

A forest instead of a lone Yagi would be to increase gain more efficiently than by merely elongating a single Yagi, as the latter would quickly cause mechanical issues in wind.

I'm imagining access to an improvised spot welder to attach lengths of copper wire to a steel support pillar, then finished with some paint as an anti-corrosion coating. Or some more low-tech attachment process, like a styrofoam pillar with the wires pierced through in the right spots, mounted either indoors or in a drain pipe or such for weather protection.

Can you confirm that these approaches are appropriate for the situation/call some out that are not appropriate?
It's Olric: https://github.com/buraksezer/olric. Publicly speaking about the companies may not be a good idea but you can dig into the issues, pull requests, and Discord channel if you are curious.
One of my first programming jobs involved helping the boss make a twitter sharecropping service. I remember at some point after that project twitter made a big TOS/API change and crippled a wave of startups at the time. I was doing something else by then but it was a good warning to not let myself ever depend too much on sharecropping; over the years I've seen a lot of people learn that lesson the hard way.

I've used the API since then for on-off things, but the one I'm sore about now is a little Python script I've had running in a nightly cronjob for years that I've used to make local copies of images/videos from tweets I starred (now heart'd). It's a simple bit of code to get all my favorites and download any new ones. (If I recall correctly you need to get all of them, because the response doesn't necessarily give them to you in the order you liked them, so if today you like an old tweet from say 2012 you might have to paginate a while to get it in the response.) Looks like the json of all ~9800 liked tweets I build up to parse for new URLs is 1.5 MB gzipped, it's true their API returns a lot of unnecessary extra data. Currently debating with myself whether to cobble together a new script from one of the existing scrapers (gallery-dl might be easiest), or say screw it and write some Lisp code (more stable than Python) to fire up Selenium and waste more of twitter's bandwidth pretending to be a full browser.
I think that some complains about new generations are valid others are not. And as I had own kids I realized that when parents or teachers see an issue, they talk about, comment on it and then try to fix the issue. So sometimes, the observation is actually correct, but it makes adults to work on fixing it and sometimes they succeed. Some generations are more violent then others, some generations have more substance abuse issues. All generations are adjusting to the world they live in.

Moreover, in every single time and generation, you had mix of adults who had many different opinions on generations. One guy writing on the wall at the ancient Rome does not even implies all that much about general opinion of people in Rome.

But, "youtube bad" is not even complain about generation.

Funny. That's what OP said:

> I would fully understand that I am required to upgrade, but why not sending me an email before shutting down my business completely?
> So most Americans have simply no idea that thermostatic valves are a thing.

Having very limited travel experience outside the US, my mental model of what the temperature control on showers was supposed to be doing was thermostatic, and I just assumed that they were just bad at it. You may have just explained one of my longest running minor peeves, which is that I've always found it basically impossible to maintain a shower temperature I find comfortable without needing to make adjustments. Given that I don't own my home at this time, I probably can't do anything about it any time soon, but at least from now on when I have to deal with the fluctuations in temperature I'll know that I'm not crazy and this is actually expected behavior.

All those frameworks should be good for your requirements...the fact they support more complex scenarios doesn't make them unsuitable for yours
It seems like the issue here was the amount of network resources being used. You can't have any kind of SaaS without using someone else's network.

The fact that stuff needs to be raised at all is the problem.

Clearly something has gone wrong if customers get treated this way.
Most of these papers you list are about the model, and there is the original Transformer paper, and most of the others are some variations of the Transformer.

I think to get into the field, to get a good overview, you should also look a bit beyond the Transformer. E.g. RNNs/LSTMs are still a must learn, even though Transformers might be better in many tasks. And then all those memory-augmented models, e.g. Neural Turing Machine and follow-ups, are important too.

It also helps to know different architectures, such as just language models (GPT), attention-based encoder-decoder (e.g. original Transformer), but then also CTC, hybrid HMM-NN, transducers (RNN-T).

Diffusion models is also another recent different kind of model.

But then, what comes really short in this list, are papers on the training aspect. Most of the papers you list do supervised training, using cross entropy loss. However, there are many others:

You have CLIP in here, specifically to combine text and image modalities.

There is the whole field on unsupervised or self-supervised training methods. Language model training (next label prediction) is one example, but there are others.

And then there is the big field on reinforcement learning, which is probably also quite relevant for AGI.

Do you really go through life thinking of reasons why you shouldn't do a thing?

How about "if X did it, I can too." Which way would you prefer to live?
Yeah, I get that but it’s just not an especially insightful point: that’s double what the average buyer pays and, more importantly, someone who buys literally the most expensive configuration possible will spend considerably more than that on service over the life of the device.
> Eating is immensly boring and I hated it as a kid. I wish I had something to distract myself from the boredom of eating.

This is usually the time people use to have social multigenerationnal social interactions. Outside of weekends parents have stuff to do all day long, kids have to do their homework, then like to immerse in playing. Sometimes kids and parents spend sometime on a specific game, cards and board games are nice for that, but time is usually against them midweek. Meals and Dinner are those time when family member reconnect and chat. There is no reason to be bored unless your family is totally dysfunctionnal.

I would say even as a single adult, meal can be a perfect time to have that disconnected moment and just think for a little while. Maybe you should try it as an exercise if you don't have those moments in other times of the day.
You literally talk about "radicalized people and impacted the global political order". I dont worry 4 years old will do any of that.
> Why didn't you use the load-balancer service?

Speaking from experience, if you only need rudimentary L7 load balancing, then Cloudflare Workers is as good as it gets.

> How much are you paying for the workers/month?

Per my estimate, probably between $600 to $2000 for Workers: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34639930
> To be clear, I think that the availability of niche apps is some kind of competitive advantage for iOS.

It's not just niche apps, though, as you put it.

For instance, for years (might still actually be the case depending on phone model), creators complained about Instagram having terrible image quality on Android for content creation. Apparently the app was just screenshotting the camera view finder, instead of pulling the actual camera feed. Obviously on iPhone it's using the real camera data, delivering the expected image quality.

That isn't a niche app. That's freaking Instagram. But that kind of story is fairly common place--developers take the time to get their apps right on iOS, because it's actually worth the time. People with iPhones spend more money and thus drive more advertising revenue. Android ends up with a second rate version of the app that's given less investment but actually has more devices to optimize for. With those constraints, it's just a natural result to end up with a lower quality app experience.
Are you doing RAM-aaS or something?

Must be alot of redundant data back and forth.
That seems great for expediency, but it also seems to place the exposure to social engineering back on the org, who might not have the best tools to authenticate someone whose account is already in lockdown.

For example, I'm a remote user, and if I got logged out of all company systems, I could phone my supervisor or send email from my personal account. Is that enough to assure the Super Admins that I am who I say I am?
Like most head scratchers, it’s EU taxes.

The import taxes are higher on video cameras than still cameras, so they artificially limit the length of videos you can record to avoid being classified as a video camera.

> Video camera recorders are subject to import duty of 4.9% or 14%, still image cameras are duty free.

There is no lack of rules and regulations where I'm from - Eastern Europe. People are well aware they are breaking said rules. As for spreading wealth - far from it, everybody hoards as much as they can for themselves at the expense of others who are in many cases worse off.

About cultural values, an anecdotal example: every time somebody gets prison time for stealing, fraud, embezzlement, etc, people comment things like "4 years for X million euros? Would gladly take that deal". Also people who make money with drugs or human trafficking are idols for many young people and they are open about it. We have song hits about this life style. This is what I call culture.
More like if you’re serious about identity, you don’t add another IdP because you added another cloud provider.
That doesn’t sound right. To use a better example than Tom Cruise, I don’t think LeBron James negotiates his own sneaker deals. Some agent is getting a cut as usual.
So many talks, so little time
It seems I need to re-read it.
You are right, I am equating age with being inflexible and as an old man myself, I have to fight to retain my flexibility in all respects.

So, replace "old" with "inflexible" and you get the gist.

In general, "old" people are inflexible, but we professionals are lucky that we don't have to be in a field that is always expanding.
Wow this is the worst take about customer service I have ever seen by a company. You cause huge issues for business with the touch of a button, and when they require help and don’t think the cause was acceptable behavior, they’re whining? Just wow.
Cloudflare is not used at all for data collection (it's not scraping, it's using official exchanges APIs), only for the APIs that serve historical data.
HN has an official API, no scraping needed.
I think GTP is very far from solving 1), at least if you happen to know anything about LLMs.

Bio:
Hi, I am Akash Verma. As a software developer with 1 year of experience, I excel in back-end engineering for cross-platform desktop applications, automation scripts, and RESTful API design. Proficient in Python, JavaScript, and C++, I bring a diverse skill set to software development projects.

My passion for software development and expertise was recognized at the international level when I was selected to participate in the Google Summer of Code 2022 program, where I collaborated with NASA engineers and astrophysicists on the Helioviewer Project. I also had the privilege of speaking at the San Diego PyStudyGroup conference in September 2022, showcasing the work I accomplished during the program.

With a strong ability to write, read, review, edit, and correct code, I am eager to apply my skills and experience to new projects.
