Peripherals are all usb2/usb3 attached.

Latency would be super interesting to test for both. I tend to think 4-5 usb hubs are still under 1ms latency. I'd expect the DisplayPort digital->optical->digital path takes less than 1ms too. But I'm guessing, for sure.
More universal than you might suspect. Cops treating the 'citizens' with disdain is a pretty common feature of cops, at least in my experience.

Sounds like a gross expansion of government tracking power to make it mandatory. This is equivalent to license plates on cars, which is already used to track people around in many countries.
We found a Neuron in a Neural Network

Nothing new to see here. They pinpoint the nodes where the training bumped up the numbers for one token while not firing other tokens.

Yes, I’m being a bit reductionist, but GPT -> transformer architecture -> neural network. We just have more detailed techniques, a lot more data, storage, and processing power now. But the basics of how a NN works hasn’t changed.
--force-with-lease is great, but I really wish it was --force and the current force was --force-without-checking-if-its-safe or something. The more dangerous one being the shorter one is unfortunate, and I think it's worth the breaking change to swap them (with some sort of config option to gradually do the switch).
In a garage environment, using mesh everywhere and ensuring there are zero openings like an empty PCIe slot is the best solution.

Outdoors you need special enclosures typically made for industrial computers; and many companies build special fanless enclosures that dump heat directly through the metal enclosure (it is basically the heat sink).

Others have fan designs that have their intake and exhaust through filters on the bottom.
To me it just shows that a lot of companies will use dark patters if there are no regulations that prohibit them.
No, they most certainly will not.

Co-author here! I'm kind of surprised that this made it to the top of HN! This was a project in which Joseph and I tried to reverse engineer the mechanism in which GPT-2 predicts the word 'an'.

It's crazy that large language models work so well just by being trained as a next-word-prediction model over a large amount of text data. We know how image models learn extract the features of an image through convolution[1], but how and what LLMs learn exactly remain a black box. When we dig deeper into the mechanisms that drive LLMs, we might get closer to understanding why they work so well in some senses, and why they could be catastrophic in other cases (see: the past month of search-based developments).

I find trying to understand and reverse-engineer LLMs to be a personally exciting endeavour. As LLMs get better in the near future, I sure hope our understanding of them can keep up as well!

This is true for every SQL database. Push conflicting transactions hard enough and you'll need a retry loop. In Postgres you'll see row-level MVCC detecting a write conflict and have the exact same end result. SQLite's locking is just coarser grained, and tends to trigger with less load.

There's more if you start going your way. You can infer a lot of things from shopping records, particularly when you're shopping couple times a week (vs. bulk shopping once every week or two). The things you buy are informative, but so is how your purchases change over time, and so are the dates and times you make those purchases.

Some extra things that should be easy to infer: on what dates were you going to a party; on what dates you had a hangover; when did you go on a diet and how good were you at sticking to it; if you have a problem with alcohol, when did it start and how it progress; are you dating someone; are you planning to travel. I could go on and on - all those things can be identified if you have a continuous record of a regular customer's purchases. And there are many companies, organizations and individuals that would make good use of such inferences - use of the kind you wouldn't want to be subject to.

I'm not sure what you expect here: for Intel to dominate a bunch of very different silicon-based product lines? They already dominate(d) CPUs and chipsets and WiFi chips, what more do you want?

Let's compare to Facebook: what do they dominate? The Facebook social network service, and I suppose Instagram, plus some other "support" stuff like Messenger. How about Ebay? Are they some kind of failure because they're a "one trick pony" with their auction site? Is Comcast a failure because all they have is cable TV and cable internet? I guess Toyota is a failure too because all they make is motor vehicles. I find your criticism frankly bizarre.

There’s a very straightforward and plausible rationale for Russia (specifically, Putin) to do it: coup-proofing by forced commitment to not turning the oil back on, like breaking your own steering wheel in a game of chicken and throwing it out the window. There are presumably elites in Russia who would like to see the war end and go back to business-as-usual so they can get their assets and incomes back, and blowing up the pipeline signals to them “that’s not happening. Total commitment is the only option, so don’t even bother trying to replace the current leadership.”

Is this definitely what happened? Of course not, we don’t know who did it. But it is a perfectly coherent and plausible claim, and so your hyperbolic statements about “what idiot really believes…” etc. only serve to demonstrate that you haven’t bothered learning about anyone’s position other than yours, and thus that you yourself probably shouldn’t be listened to.
Not exactly the same thing. With a body shop, you pay the shop and they supply "someone"

With EOR you post your job position, select your hire, and then pay the EOR to be their "official" employer, since they are multinational, and then the EOR provides "services" to you.

CBC: Why the word 'freedom' is such a useful rallying cry for protesters
Because until we cook up an acceptable UBI and solve scarcity of basics, you are competing with (increasingly) everyone on earth (as international borders decrease in relevance), and there's always someone willing to debase themselves for a wage lower than yours.

Automation isn't cheap either. We see very real divides today where it is still a lot cheaper to have people in a sweatshop do things for basically no pay rather than get a multi-million dollar robot to do the same.

In societies like America which fetishize hard work and hustle culture, and where tremendous struggle is still present or a vivid recent memory in the minds of people, UBI and guaranteed basic quality of life are a tough sell.
Disagreed. Any sufficiently complex app will have mutation dependent tests regardless of where that complexity is stored, models/services/controllers?!/views!?

The point is you want to "replay" all mutations in each test. i.e. TestA requires Mut1, Mut2, Mut3 .... just so happens TestB also requires the same mutations.

What this function is trying to say is - Don't make TestB depend on running after TestA because TestA "set up your world" for you and it was "easier/faster/less-work" to depend on that one.

Run Mut1, Mut2, Mut3 for TestB independently. Yes, it doubles the time because you're performing the same mutations, but maybe it makes sense.

The question becomes, should TestA and TestB be part of the same actual test? OR are they sufficiently different that it just makes sense to eat the double setup time.
> I am unsure as to why all the intelligence officials in the initial planning meetings for the mission felt that the only possible way to sabotage the pipeline would be at the short section directly bordering Russia, instead of the large section in more favorable waters.

If you (US military / intelligence) knew that the entire world was going to blame you after this happened, you might feel that was critical placement for the sabotage. You would also plan to immediately seed the entire media ecosystem with “Russia obviously did this” statements and the explosive placement would bolster your claim.

I can agree that as a mission objective, installing a friendly government there was a catastrophic failure.

But the war ended in like 2002. The Taliban and America were not at war for 20 years. Remnants of a defeated enemy were causing problems and engaging guerilla style attacks from hiding after being evicted from power.

A war was declared against Afghanistan and the US controlled the land and government and dismantled the people in power and at the very least put them in a place where they cannot govern any aspect of the country.

What failed was a mission objective part of the greater "war on terror" not the war against afghanistan.

The cheaper and less combative solution is to of course just let people work remotely.

Wait, why would anyone be doing any sort of whitelisting? That seems a disastrously bad idea that utterly ruins interoperability. I could understand checking that the IP address the URL resolves to isn’t private, but what they’ve written suggests something much broader.

Am I missing something, or have they gone off the deep end, or are they reacting to implementers that have gone off the deep end?
I'm working on a bigger long, term project, but I've been aiming for the sweetspot of effective yet fast builds. She noted esbuild for its stability, but it's also quite fast.

My setup for a nice ui dev experience now consists of 3 things:

- yarn plug-n-play

- esbuild, invoked from thr cli and not node, with no plugins. I run it in watch mode.

- caddy as the reverse proxy to serve the watch files and the api under a single url

It has been refreshing fast. And add into that generating TS api bindings for my backend server automatically... well it's great.

Homeless man overreacted. The police would not dispatch an officer to pursue.
Same. I was hoping for something compelling to refute. This piece is trash and it’s a sad comment on the state of critical thinking (and liberal simping for empire) that it even garnered this much traction on HN.
The West Coast has temperate weather which makes them a desirable destination for the houseless, as well as other jurisdictions to send their populations over. You don’t see that level of homelessness in fairly liberal drug policy states of Illinois or New York, and I’m sure there are even more examples.

Also, the previous rebuttal makes no sense. If an area has a high amount of drug use, what does it matter whether if the law there are legal or illegal, with respect to how that affects homelessness? Was the GP claiming only the well-to-do housed are using drugs there?
Sadly I don’t think it will change anything. It’s different from Chrome so it lacks the feature of the week and needs “special fixes” because it has a different rendering engine.

I tried a basic query: "ohio train derailment chemicals"

This returned abundant numbers of articles, and included a wikipedia note at the top of the page: "A freight train carrying vinyl chloride, butyl acrylate, ethylhexyl acrylate and ethylene glycol monobutyl ether derailed along the Norfolk Southern Railway in East Palestine, Ohio, United States on February 3, 2023. Wikipedia" as well as the accordion lists of specific talking points, "What was the chemical that spilled in Ohio?" and "What chemicals are burning in Ohio?"
One of the more interesting and on some level plausible hypotheses I remember reading at the time of the sabotage was that it was a purely political move for Putin, to remove the possibility of a quick return to their previous status as Europe’s gas provider, in order to dissuade those around him from a coup. Destroying the pipelines removed a major carrot (hundreds of billions of euros per year in exports).

Have you actually tried using an LM for programming?

ChatGPT catches me off guard sometimes even when working on "boring" problems. For example, I was consuming structs from a UNIX domain socket in Java and had some tedious translation from C-types to ByteBuffer calls.

It's brain dead easy thing to do, the structs were defined as packed so not alignment issues, ByteBuffers handle endianness, there's a little bit of trickiness with unsigned types but nothing terrible... but with 6 types and writing tests for all 6 definitions, I wondered if ChatGPT could do it and save me a couple of minutes.

What impressed me wasn't that it managed to generate the near identical code to my example definition,it was the fact it recognized one of the fields as padding and pre-emptively discarded its value.

The padding wasn't in any way shape or form covered by typing, yet the fact the comment in the C definition mentioned padding caused ChatGPT to generate code that skipped over the padding instead of trying to needlessly capture its value and commented that was doing so.

And when I had it generate unit tests, it managed to maintained context on the padding and added a helpful comment pointing it out.

-

It's small corner cases like that which really make me see LMs as being the natural productivity multiplier for programmers.

There's a ton of nuance in some problems that by the very nature of an LM, you'd never imagine it'd be able to capture. Yet when you press on it, it actually does better on those than it does on "copy everything from Stack Overflow" problems.

During the supposed initial planning of this operation, from the way it is described by Hersh and his source, it appears that the CIA and entire interagency group were unaware of the fact that the Nord Stream pipelines were in fact pipelines.
