It seems like at some point in the past few decades money stopped becoming a useful abstraction for the values of goods and services and instead turned into a some numbers game played by by finances and tech bros looking to play the game rather than do anything good.

I mean ultimately the value of the money went like this

Some VC thought they could make money off a dog walking AI/ML self cleaning mapping proposotion. Not that they believed it would produce that much value but merely believed they could make a return.

The startup put money in SVB which held the funds that represented the supposed value of the startup.

The pension fund saw SVB had money (that represents the abstract value of a couple of dozen startups) and decided that would be a good place for them to put/invest more money.

All of this undergirded by the idea that the value was in the 100s of millions of dollars for an AI/ML Dog Walking Mapping Startup platform. Which everyone knew was never worth that much to begin with, but was just following the numbers game because the hope was it would be able to be pawned off on other suckers. With the suckers being either a) The general public through an IPO or b) The tech giants who would acquire it.

It just seems something broke somewhere and we need a correction.

Not yet Orico seems pretty disappointing 600MB/s for their 20Gbps enclosures. I would thought you should already get that with their 10Gbps ones. So a bit wary to try out their 40Gbps enclosures.
The pension fund probably owns shares in the bank, which are now worthless.
Sure, the profit margin would have to be wide enough to account for a lot of variance.

Seriously, the insulation effects on your heating bills cannot be underestimated. Two houses that look superficially the same on the curb can have a margin of error that is a multiple of your heating bill, and that largely comes down to what the insulation is in the house.

Like we're not talking about "variances up to 30%" territory, we're talking "variances up to 300%" territory. No one is willing to make that guarantee without pulling off your drywall and examining the state of your insulation, not to mention the various behavioral issues others have brought up that vastly alter your bills.

If I understand you correctly, you're asserting that it's possible for transport-layer protocols to cause hiccups in the output because bits might get flipped.

Except all of the transport-layer protocols before the DAC are working in digital logic and have checksums applied to them. A bit flip is going to be detected and corrected or the packet will be dropped and resent. So the transport isn't going to have any impact on the bits whatsoever (barring effects like a packet arriving too late to emit the sound on time).

Oh, I know they know.

My point is that Tyson (et al) doesn't "officially" know. Their employees are providing documents, Tyson is submitting those docs to the government, and that's that.

> Describing it even as “open secret” makes it sound more secretive than it is in practice.

Knowing something to be true and being able to prove that thing is true are two very different things.

The pension fund plays the role of investor here, not depositor.
It is, but our country is paralyzed by a political fallacy of "if the market is already so bad, imagine how much worse government exerting any sort of deliberate policy would make it!". And then add in the lobbying process where bills only get passed when some corporate sponsor stands to gain [0], and it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. See also the "death panel" meme, as if that isn't a term that perfectly describes the "insurance" racket we've had all along.

The last time I have seen such an operation was back in 2009.

Also, even today you can buy a barebone place in the rack, with climate control and power supply. I know companies who do their disk replaces, cable management even in 2023.

I am fully aware you can have mostly managed data centre, like for example, Leaseweb, OVH, Servers.com. But if you have specialized hardware requirements, sometimes you have to wait a few days/weeks for installation.

I am old, but I don't think we are back in the 1998.
Sounds like you may have had a whole-home energy audit done already -- including a blower door test? If not, I'd highly recommend it; I paid ~$500 for one a few years back which included thermal imaging, blower door tests, airflow measurements & calcs, current/draw measurements for all energy-consuming devices, thermal load calcs, etc. You may find better pricing even -- ours included a detached structure/office, and house is relatively large, multiple HVAC units/solar/pool/servers/etc...

In my case, I didn't end up with any super directly-actionable insights -- but it was still very well worth the money IMO. Even just to confirm that we weren't losing/"leaking" energy egregiously. The reality was, our household simply uses a lot of energy - hah.

I mention this all because, at the time, we were just about to replace our HVAC units & we had just installed solar + storage.

I'm located in Las Vegas -- summers are HOT (!) -- but our units (2x 5-ton Bosch heat pumps) can near-trivially keep us at 70F (or cooler), even on the hottest of days. I try to "push" the thermostats up a bit (we leverage a ToU energy plan), but there are days when the battle isn't worth having & the wife needs it at 69F -- and, even on the hottest Vegas days, we're able to hit it (can be expensive to do so, depending on time of day -- but is totally doable).

Edit to add -- Oversizing a system can very easily lead to issues; short-cycling, humidity control, etc. The ideal system will run nearly non-stop on "design" temperature days.
See if you can find any highly-rated Bosch installers locally; they'd likely be willing to "oversize" a system since the Bosch units are "variable capacity" (inverter-driven), which means you're less susceptible to hitting some of the common issues/concerns when oversizing traditional systems. Alternatively, the high-end variable-speed options from major brands are generally well-regarded though they can be extremely expensive (the price segmentation, and resultant value propositions, are bordering on dubious IMO).
The honest ones know this. Same as using vacuum tube amplifiers, they distort the sound, but in a way that some people find pleasing.

This is a really important consumer problem to solve. We retrofitted a heatpump into our home about a 18 months ago and it wasn’t a great experience. Ranging from contractors not even replying (retrofit being harder than new homes), wildly different quotes and setups, lack of (API) integration, uncharitable on planning and timelines, Etc. Note: This was before the energy prices spike because of the Russian invasion into Ukraine, it’s gotten worse since then.

We’ve seen two similar start-ups (direct to consumer heat pumps) in the Dutch market. Might be interesting to have a look:

- https://www.quatt.io/ (4 or 8kW at $5500- and $6500. After which you get about $3000 subsidy.)

- https://www.dewarmte.nl/product-pompao (2-8kW modulating at $6500, or $3500 with the subsidy)

Both marketed as hybrid pumps because they don’t provide hot tap water and that’s typically still done with gas. Electric boilers being uncommon here.
This effectively ends up being a subsidy for risky, well-connected people while being a tax on responsible, not-especially-well-connected people.

> Our regulatory system has totally failed, which is why it is rife with these perverse incentives.

Our so-called “regulatory system” works precisely as Karl Marx expected it to 150 years ago. The so-called "perverse incentives" are fundamental characteristics of capitalism.

The delusion that haunts us originated with the idea that capitalism is not a system but a set of isolated features that we can opt into and out of as we please. Karl Marx showed us 150 years ago that capitalism is in fact a complex system with many contradictions.
Yeah, I'm aware of this; IMO it's a loophole they've been heavily abusing. I would deem this "practicing telemedicine". We do have /some/ regulations on telemedicine (I think? I hope?) -- you could argue that they're violating those.
According to the article, the pension fund's exposure is because it owns shares of stock in SVB. That's bad, but bank stocks can be tricky. They're not saying they lost money as a depositor.
You can get mini-splits that don't have protruding wall units, but the real downside of mini-splits is indoor air quality.

They don't have good filters and they basically recirculate the air in the same room.

For a very tightly built house, you need to bring outside air in continuously, ideally through an energy recovering ventilator (ERV), and then you want to filter that air with a MERV 13 filter (or whatever target you want), plus you want to move and filter all the house air in general, plus you often want to control whole house humidity.

Mini-splits can't do any of the above.

Incentives and chilling effects.

Automatic 30 days in jail for everyone who oversaw a minor get hired, per day worked. If more than five minors or across multiple managerial departments consider it systemic and send all overseeing managers and their managers to jail for 30 days per minor per shift worked. Strict liability and mandatory minimums are effective against white collar crimes unlike crimes of desperation.

Over ten kids and the company should be seized, all management imprisoned and all assets auctioned off. Give the legal employees enhanced unemployment to bridge the disruption to their employment.
Added to that, the country is literally shitting[1] itself. Its really weird living here at the moment, its like some kinda of cautionary fable about the monster that made everyone impose trade-sanctions on themselves, but none of the towns-people are allowed to to talk about it or discuss it.

Show HN: blanco.ai (YC S23) Ad Management. Automated
Hi I am Orlando founder of blanco (https://www.blanco-media.ai/). Were automate social media ad management for small businesses. We have taken the advertising agency model of managing ads and put it into a software product. We provide far greater performance as we can analyse data 24/7 have 98% lower costs than agencies (we start at just $49/month compared to agencies at $2.5-$12k/month) and you can get started in just 10 minutes with our streamlined onboarding.

We have made and end to end solution from creating the ads to managing the ads. Ad copy is done by GPT-3 so you can just type in your first ideal version and then we will generate multiple others. We allow you to create graphic ads on our site using our ad generator, creating high quality, converting ads for your business.

For managing ads dynamically A/B test all of your title, image and description combinations to see what preforms best with your target audience and then optimise the budget to the ads that preform well. We also look at metrics like cost-per-action to optimise ads which convert your desired goal (e.g. product sales) for the lowest price possible.

So far we have over 100 small businesses effectively managing their ad campaigns with us. Providing greater performance for a fraction of the price. I saw that agencies were expensive and ineffective and so I created blanco.

If you need to run ads for your website or business then we would love to hear feedback from you. The first month is free only for the next 5 days.

That is likely because "good" is a higher bar in language than images, because people don't mind or notice the longer range artifacts in image models as much.

I'm sure there's some contractor unit that lets you see the live readout of compressor speed. As for Electric Air - we want to give visibility into system operation, what's the input electrical power, what's the output thermal power, how much have you spent on heating so far, and what's your average COP for a given time period (ratio of heating out/electrical in).
I mean,one of the core competencies in (certain types of) security is bringing yourself up to speed on obscure technical systems you never heard of before. Familiarizing yourself with unfamiliar terminology is step 1.

Here is one question I have not seen answered yet:

All the magic of "7B LLaMA running on a potato" seems to involve lowering precision down to f16 and then further quantizing to int4.

Clearly this quantized model still outputs something resembling human language, at the very least.

But I haven't seen anyone show what effect this quantizing has on the quality of the output. If the quality of the output is bad, it's unclear if it's because the model needs to be finetuned (as Stanford did here) or if it's because the quanitizing reduced the quality, or both.

If this fine-tuned Stanford model still has excellent output after quantizing it to run on a Raspberry Pi 4GB, that would be awesome!

Microsoft has mentioned today that it cost them many hundreds of millions of USD to accommodate OpenAI models. I studied NLP at Stanford including LLMs. Only Google had a smaller transformer that could somewhat compete (Reformer) but the rest went with the brute force GPT-like models and 1000+ GPUs, $10M+/training run etc. I haven't seen a single post anywhere explaining how to train such large models (a smaller model on 4-8 GPUs doesn't count).

If you let the penis visible, there is still not that much remarkable. The picture was mainly about a baby swimming toward a bill used as a bait.
