And from Central Europe to Southern Europe, where they keep being used beyond repair.

In Portugal we even had a time where used German cars would get a special plate starting with K, given the amount of cars being imported.
Very cool, but...

Limiting (let alone this severely) a number of functions a developer can introduce and locking them in having to pay recurrently just to overcome this limitation and keep their code working is insane. I believe this dooms the product to be extremely unpopular. This way people probably won't even invest time in giving it a try.

Real-Time Data Sources sound like a thing which can be a premium feature. Unlimited UDFs and Unlimited Commands don't.
> Because small developers/consultancies have small pockets, and enterprises have large ones.

Enterprises love long term contracts. Cloud is all about highly-dynamic PAYG. Who does not love long term bulk contracts at [roughly] the price of dynamic PAYG?
I'm careful with my phones but don't like cases, and I solved the slippery phone problem with some non-slip tape - a couple of strips on the back meant the phone didn't slide, and didn't add bulk. It has worked well for several years, but I can't seem to find the same stuff any more.
I'm absolutely with you here. It's been interesting to watch the philosophical divide take shape between "no, I'm special." and "whelp, there it is, evidence that I'm not special"
As another poster said it's incredibly ironic that you claim a person's character should be sharpened by uncomfortable and random situations while also admitting you've never been in such a situation.
I bought a Lenovo M900 Tiny a few months back which is quite a few years old (think maybe 2017?) and upgraded it to 24GB RAM, 120 GB SSD and 500GB nvme.

With proxmox and a few vms running on there it idles around 11-12W which isn't raspberry pi levels of efficiency but still pretty decent.

I think the OP's server may have one or more mechanical HDDs in it that are consuming most of the power.
I don't think so. I value fun and positivity and I think I'm the opposite of fake. I don't have patience for being fake.

I'll attend every social event, I clock out roughly on time, and I do what's needed of me without making a fuss. Want that stupid feature? Sure, as long as it's not morally reprehensible, I'll build it.

What's any of that got to do with being fake? I don't suck up, and do things for the sake of promotion, I don't lie about things. If you ask for my opinion, I'll share it, even if it's negative. I don't think that makes me unfun though.

They didn’t have paper. They’d scribble in a wax tablet using a stylus. Evidently sometimes they’d use the stylus to scribble in the margins on parchment or vellum.
This doesn't seem related to the flaw that was described at all - it seems like it applies equally to both road and rail. So while Sim City is very US-centric ("zoning" felt like just a gaming construct to me and I was very surprised it existed in real life) it sounds like they just flubbed the pathfinding a bit.
It‘s not a synonym for NNs. It‘s one specific NN architecture, consisting of an input layer, an output layer, and a number of hidden layers in between. It‘s feed-forward and fully-connected, as you said.
In many European cities not everyone is priviledged to live near a bus stop or subway line, and even so, not all lines have a connection every 10 minutes.

and a few days ago, some HN users who probably prefer HTML scientology articles criticized Wolfram to just play with shit useless visualizations but they are creative - maybe artistic - but scientific mostly ways to improve the understanding of the world.
Yes. YES. It's happening. The cyberpunk future we've been waiting for. Corpos getting netwatch to hunt rogue AI. Gonna have my USB thumbdrive with illegal AI tech to run for chooms on the dark net.

Just need cyberware to happen and then if the future is gonna suck it can at least look interesting.
I'm not sure if you're being serious or not, but I'm going to assume serious and write a serious response.

Having PhDs or doing research does not equal the ability to create products people want to use and/or pay for. History has shown us time and time again there are some people who are amazing at creating original and groundbreaking research and other people who are amazing at turning research into money making, people-pleasing products. See all the research that came out of Xerox PARC which ended up doing nothing for Xerox and everything for Apple (and other companies).

Google has been spending a fortune on research in AI for 15+ years and, if anything, the company's main product (Search) has only gotten worse! They have been second, third best, or moribund in mobile phones, cloud computing, videogames, social media, and many others I've forgotten.

Now I'm not sure what the moral of the story here is but I can say it definitely isn't that doing the most research equals success because it clearly isn't that! I'd say it's probably a culture issue and also a motivation issue (which are clearly related). You're sitting on a money printing machine, employees all earning 350k+ per year, in an office filled with bean-bags, gourmet food, and living a chill life with nice and comfortable working hours... where is the motivation and drive to try and build a really innovative and amazing new product? "Sounds like a lot of work man..." It surprises me little that OpenAI beat them to the punch.
You do see a representation of the traffic, but yeah definitely not individual vehicles
Yes it is, if Obama’s regime had the strength of their convictions to enact the rules they wanted, that train would have been classified hazardous. I found out that classification would have meant it would have the better brakes as well as being shorter and speed limited more.

I think an objective look shows multiple failures by 3 different governments to reign in the greed of railroad execs and protect the people in Ohio. What do you see?
> (twelve years ago!

And if you go and read some old management cybernetics you see all that stuff back in the fucking 60s, 80 years ago. I think you absolutely hit the nail on the head tho
I'd be interested to learn a bit more about this. What are you referring to?
> For those who go, "but I need real power"

There's also the flip side, which is "well since I already have real power..."

I.e., like many HNers, I own a powerful coding/gaming Linux desktop with plenty of HDD space, which gets regularly backed up to cold storage. It does however use a frankly obscene 90W when idling, due to the GPU, fans, and multiple hard drives and peripherals.

Building a separate, power-efficient home server would take a year or two to break even, even compared to running the workstation 24/7. But it's more like 3-5 years when you consider that it's going to run several hours most days anyway, and that it can be safely put to sleep at night. Plus of course it's more effort to manage two servers rather than one, so everything else being equal the single desktop is preferable.

Now if I can use some of the tricks described in this thread to turn it off when I'm not using it, and only temporarily wake it up when I need to stream or upload something, then using the desktop as a home server becomes kind of a no-brainer.

Of course, if you only use a laptop, then a low-wattage home server is a totally sensible complement.
I second this advice. While they are not the cheapest, they definitely know their stuff and provide excellent support.
The NYT Op-Ed I Just Took a Kill Fee For
What does "temperature" mean here though? Are you sure you didn't just ask it to generate two different responses?
This reads like something out of a dystopian nightmare. And something that is very very easily circumvented, i.e. generate a image similar to what you want to achieve, then photoshop the faces of the people into the generated image. Or do the authors propose that photo editing software also include backdoors to prevent this?
I don't. But it's really not a dataclass - it doesn't need slots etc.
IDK, from multiple accounts Amazon is an absolute burning garbage bin of a mess for everyone that works in it.
Interesting way to reduce that pressure - I suspect that intention is to acquire some "dev friendly" company and try to replicate what CF is doing when it comes to capturing developers mindshare, exposing knowledge of availabile and offered services etc.
Instead of working to make Akamai brand services more accessible and not perceived as stinky corporate concrete slab they decided to just buy something with good reputation among developers.
General strategy is somewhat good because otherwise (I think) they will be very slowly moved into obsolescence by CF but the execution..
Lufthansa Says IT System Issues Causing Widespread Cancellations
I think a couple things work in our favor here:

- users and makers of dev tools are grouchy tech people like us. I think it's more than likely that tools for us and by us will implement stuff we want.

- most of this stuff is open source, so we can add it ourselves

But, that said I share your cynicism. When I learned about AWS_CLI_TELEMETRY (or whatever it is) I was like, "sigh, it begins".
Human Friendly Object Identifiers
I stopped considering ChatGPT to be niche/nerdy phenomenon after, less than two weeks after release, I overheard some random Polish commentary youtubers (the YouTube equivalent of mass market celebrity gossip, except more self-referential) showcasing the chatbot and voicing their opinions about large language models.

One useful thing I learned from this, though, is that ChatGPT can handle Polish just fine. It never even occurred to me to try it - I incorrectly assumed the model was trained on English text only. I suspect that being multilingual from day 1 was a huge factor in ChatGPT's sudden and extreme user growth.
I think she should have gotten more hacker cred for running her own mail server.
It really depends on your definition of statistics.

For example, quantum physics is pretty much statistics, but how those statistics are used give rise to the explanation of the physical world, because of the complex interaction patterns.

To say that GPT is generating the next likely word sounds simplistic on the surface. It makes it seem like the model resets itself after generating each token, just looking at information before. And when running the model, thats exactly what it does, but thats just the algorithm part. There is a lot more information in GPT then it seems, its just compressed.

Just like cellular automata, universal turing machines, or differential equations describing chaotic behavior, there is a concept of emergence of complex patterns from very simple rules. When GPT generates the next word, its effectively changing its internal state because that word is now in consideration for the next token. And this process repeats itself for consecutive words. But this process is deterministic, and repeatable (you can replace the random process of temperature parameter affecting word selection with a pseudorandom sequence generated by a formula and achieve the same effect)

So just like the autoencoder/decoder networks effectively compress images into much smaller arrays, GPT compresses not only textual information, but sequences of states. There is quite a bit more, a whole shitload more in fact, information in the GPT model than just statistical distribution of the next likely word. And if you were to decompress this information fully, it be roughly the equivalent of having and extremely large lookup table of every possible question and its responses that you could ask it.

So all it is is just a very effective, and quite impressive at that, search.

And its both significant and insignificant. Significant, because after all, AI is equivalent to compression. Philosophically speaking, the turning point would be the ability to compress a good portion of our known reality in a similar way, then ask it questions, to which it would generate answers that mankind was not able to answer, because mankind hasn't bothered to interpolate/develop on its knowledge tree in that area. However its also insignificant in the grand scheme of things. Imagine moving beyond lookup tables. For example, if I ask an AI a question "A man enters a bathroom, which stall does he choose?", an AI should be able to then ask me back specific questions that are needed for to answer the question. Go ahead and try to figure out the architecture data set for that task.
So... why can't a "good team" be assembled somewhere else that's 10x cheaper? Just like what happened to manufacturing, the Chinese and other nations actually turned out to have good - enough - teams to take a good chunk of the US market. So if I'm building my fully remote team, what advantage does a stateside worker have over Latam, or India, or some other location that has managers on the ground, tons (and growing) of Computer Science graduates, increasing knowledge of English, and in Latam's case, same timezones? Isn't that the culmination of remote?
That was my first thought, but I found the article way more interesting than the title suggests.

Lest anyone else be put off - the doodles are just one example of something not (or barely) visible without the new imaging techniques described. It's about finding new artefacts in an existing collection, not 'oh wow so weird an ancient human doodled something'.
Isn’t that a contradiction? The union is for the workers, not the company - how could the company make a union? Doesn’t it have to be the workers who organize?
You're posting on an article that is literally evidence supporting this perspective.
I think CAPTOR is a deep water anti-submarine device? I agree that a roving band of nearby civilians in a submarine would be at risk, but that's what a war zone is for.

But more generally, I see what you're saying: it's the same problem, but at a different scale - in this case, the scale of "distance from the weapon". Minefields are very localised; underwater anti-submarine mines require a submarine; autonomous aircraft are just the same, but with a much bigger range.

However, I think the range matters. Civilians avoiding a war zone in a ship or a minefield, while bad, is not the same thing as autonomous aeroplanes able to go to a static civilian population and fire at it.

For me it has worked in Brave, Chrome, Firefox and Safari Tech Preview, with or without installed IPFS and IPFS Companion (with IPFS it works much better). Haven't worker in Safari in IOS and non-Chrome browsers on Android.

Not very fast and sometimes it requires page reloading but overall impression is awesome.
I would say information is a form of compression. You observe reality, then compress what you see as information and pass it to another observer. Understanding is the ability to compress and decompress information. Decompressed information can become action or emotion.

Wow. These are the free-speech rankings for colleges in the US:

https://rankings.thefire.org/rank

Of the top 6 that are rated "Good," L=Liberal to C=Conservative ratios are telling:

1. University of Chicago, L:C = 4 : 1

2. Kansas State University, L:C = 1 : 1.3

3. Purdue (main campus), L:C = 1.1 : 1

4. Mississippi State Univ, L:C = 1 : 1.9

5. Oklahoma State Univ, L:C = 1 : 1.2

6. Claremont McKenna, L:C = 5.2 : 1

The bottom 6 (Poor, Very poor or abysmal):

198. Yale, L:C = 5.2 : 1

199. Skidmore, L:C = 11.8 : 1

200. Georgetown, L:C = 3.3 : 1

201. Rensselaer Poly, L:C = 2.3 : 1

202. U. of Pennsylvania, L:C = 5.9 : 1

203. Columbia, L:C = 6.8 : 1

Looks like there's been a flip in the definitions of liberal and conservative, at least wrt free-speech
Ask HN: What fraud warrants this much personal data from an LLM service?
I tried to sign up for an online large language model service just to experiment but it prevented me from registering. Their support team expects me to send them all these details first:

As others have mentioned your question doesn’t cleanly map to what a “cdn” really is these days. The minimal requirements for even the most basic content distribution cache or NS setup is pretty significant in time and capex. In my experience as much effort goes in to operations and “control plane” management as the “dataplane” software that serves requests.

What I haven’t seen others mention, and is a literal open source CDN, Is Coral CDN. I’m not sure if it’s a going concern anymore, but it was a plausibly useful academic project circa 2005-15. I believe to ubiquity and accessibility of very cheap commercial offerings, and the ratcheting improvements in commercial CDN tech, really put Coral “out of business” by 2013 or so. http://dsrg.pdos.csail.mit.edu/2013/07/18/coralcdn/

This isn't any sort of news or new development and has been known for decades.
You can't seriously propose a solution for the tragedy of commons scenario. I wouldn't voluntarily donate money to the government because it is dumb to make your living worse for statistically zero gain (because a single donation is like that, and no one else would donate). But I fully support taxation (as a concept, current brackets and laws are very inefficient), exactly because it is enforced on all population at gunpoint. I would not join army voluntarily, but I actually was in one because we have a mandatory draft and unfortunately a reason for it now.

The only way humans can function in communities bigger than 100 people is enforcement of resource sharing, or they will be expelled/punished. This doesn't mean that enforced sharing is bad in absolute terms. It is relatively "bad" and inefficient, but the only alternative is chaos and no sharing at all.
> but why not just call it something "Linode by Akamai" or "Akamai Linode"?

Because they know they're up against the AWS, GCP and Azure's of this world....

So it's probably a touch of the "nobody got fired for buying IBM", i.e. they consider "Akamai" to have more clout on a proposal sheet than "Linode".

Of course nobody sensible reads anything into a brand name, but if you're trying to impress the customer's C-suite ....
Swiss to vote on preventing cashless society, pressure group says
Research papers turned into a mouth tape isn’t cool either. The commenter above noted that it’s not specifically a game model that emerged in an LLM in that paper, but 64 additional networks that somehow represent each tile from values of all weights/activations of an LLM. Which is somewhat weaker than the initial claim, slightly less obvious.

People nowadays use papers as a means to shut someone up with a summary, because chances are low they’re gonna read beyond it. And summaries tend to be headline-y for obvious reasons.

The rest of your comment falls under this shadow, so please tell how an average person should evaluate this thread. Personally I’m all for education on this topic, but different sorts of people’s opinions and meanings, from diversely delusional to diversely knowledgeable^ with strings attached, do not help with it.

Resembles LLMs themselves who cannot just answer “I don’t know”. We’d rather say that if we really don’t, imo, than claiming tipping points and history turns. We did that with fusion, bitcoin, self-driving and many other things that we’ve lost in the background noise.

They essentially have MITM capabilities over a significant portion of the web, undermining TLS security

Cloudflare is on them edge of your infrastructure. It's not in the middle of your service's infra and the user. It's not undermining TLS security because you are explicitly sharing the decrypted data with cloudflare to let them cache and protect your site.

>They have a tendency to deny access to normal users using privacy-friendly setups (Tor, without Javascript, etc)

To protect yourself against a bad actor you will need to fingerprint them and then imposes restrictions on them. People who are using privacy friendly setups look like they are trying not to be fingerprinted or have a shady fingerprint. By getting rid of a unique fingerprint that Cloudflare can learn to trust you end up always looking suspicious. Cloudflare did develop privacy pass to give these people a better experience when accessing websites protected by Cloudflare.

>and them operating in net loss (implying that the shareholders value growth, i.e. gobbling up even more of the internet infrastructure).

There are many competing CDNs. Most web traffic doesn't even use Cloudflare. There is still plenty of room for Cloudflare to grow.

>Some people are also concerned about their emerging ability as a powerful force for censorship and surveillance

This is a problem in general with internet service providers. ISPs can just decided not to peer with you or just null route your IPs. Cloudflare is less of a problem compared to major consumer facing ISPs.

>Cloudflare threatens the nature of the web as a somewhat decentralized system

So do DDoS attacks. If the small guy can't keep a site online like the big guys can that leads to a less decentralized web.
Lol. You can't outlaw matrix multiplication.
