Sad but an obviously correct choice.

USB-C/USB3/Thunderbolt/USB-3.2 SuperSpeed 4x4 is obviously a better choice for literally everything, nothing quite beat the chunkiness of a PCMCIA card. The creative ways people made attachments work (e.g. a pop-out connector for an rj45/rj11 port) was great.

The First Amendment is a a flat limitation of Congressional power, not a rights grant. So in that way, it is globally binding as it applies to laws that the United States Congress may make as they pertain to e.g. US citizens residing in Canada, or really even Canadians at home or in the US.
Indian government has an easy way to keep opposition party leaders in jail
ChatGPT-J: The Privacy-First, Self-Hosted Chatbot Built on GPT-J's Powerful AI
1. Manish Sisodia which is a senior leader of Aam Aadmi Party and very vocal against PM Modi, was arrested on February 26 by Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on the allegation of corruption and in Jail since then. [1]

2. So far they haven't found an iota of evidence and no trail of money to Manish. Today they had the hearing in court for bail, and citing "lack of time" court simply moved the hearing to next date March 21. Which means they will get to keep him in jail for 10 more days. [2]

3. Because CBI has no evidence and the first case will eventually fall flat, another agency has stepped in and arrested him for the same case. So once he gets bail from first case, they will be able to still keep him in Jail due to second case. [3]

This twitter account covers minute by minute record of court hearing process. You can read for yourself if they presented any evidence in the court. [4]

> Double taxation occurs when a corporation is subject to corporate tax and then pays a dividend, which is after tax, but counts as income to the investor. There are arguments to be made that this is fair or unfair.

Even calling it double-taxation seems like BS. Generally, we tax at the point of exchange: income, sales, etc. Money moves around endlessly. It's taxed when the consumer pays the corporation (often twice! sales and income), when the corporation pays the shareholder, when the shareholder dies and gives it to their kids, when the kids buy a house, when the homebuilder pays their contractors, etc. etc. etc.
Teaching companies lesson about diversifying their finances is probably worth few startups going down (...which they might anyway). VS robbing taxpayers for another private corporation mistake

I didn't know there was a YC backed startup with an app that lets you directly inhale your own gas. I'm sure that one isn't at any risk of extinction.

To clarify slightly: "added jobs" means more people at work. The increase in unemployment means that, at the same time as more people found jobs, even more people joined the labor force.

It doesn't go into more detail about where those people are coming from.
Sure, Rabois will Rabois. My comment was aimed at the editorialized headline, which treats his provocative comment as fact and serves as clickbait for the article.
> It also puts you in a terrible position to raise bridge rounds and other financing. Every investor and lender isn't incentivized to give good terms.

Why wouldn't a lender lend in this scenario? It's almost zero risk.

It wouldn't be a good negotiating position if there was no other lenders, but there would presumably be plenty of lenders interested in providing a "small" bridging loan in a situation like this. And those lenders will have to compete.
> ...it's just promoting pre-existing capabilities. The reason you can get "Waluigi" behavior isn't because you tried to create a Luigi. It's because that behavior is already in the model from the language modeling phase.

This is exactly what the post argues.

The "simulcra" argument is that GPT contains some large number of simulated agents -- good, bad, smart, funny, dumb, creative, boring, whatever; potentially one agent for every person who helped create its input. On an empty slate, all simulcra are possibilities. As the text goes along, it slowly "weeds out" simulcra which are unlikely to generate the text so far.

If that's true, then what the "RLHF" phase is trying to do is to pro-actively "weed out" all simulcra that don't match the given profile; i.e., they're trying to weed out all the simulcra that don't match "Luigi".

The problem, according to this article, is that every "Luigi" you can imagine has a "Waluigi" that normally act just like a Luigi, until something triggers them to reveal their "true nature". And so the RLHF phase does weed out a huge number of the non-Luigi simulcra; but because the Waluigi simulcra usually act just like the Luigi simalcra, they don't get weeded out.

The result is that the final result is an amalgamation of "Luigi" and "Waluigi" simulcra all acting together; and all it takes is a "trigger" to filter out most of the "Luigi" simulcra and make the "Waluigi" take over.

There's no intended deception at all here. GPT is just trying to write a good story, and there are lots of good stories where characters either start believing A and then come to realize that B is true; or where characters who secretly believe B are forced to act as though A is true until something forces them to reveal their true nature.
FDIC mentioned that by Monday there will be access to accounts with 250k that is fdic protected. Does this statement take this into account?
You have been shamelessly self-promoting your Hopf algebra/deep learning research on a very large percentage of posts I have seen on HN lately, to the degree that I actually felt the need to log in so as to be able to comment on it. Please. Stop.
Why would the FDIC make them whole? Doesn’t FDIC insurance only cover $250,000?
Because it's free to do so.
Suddenly, "Hey, why isn't HN loading?".
Having a the story mapped out before you start and being willing to say "no matter how well this does it's stopping here" makes for incredible content, but poor business. If you have only modest success you may be cut off in the middle and leave an unsatisfying conclusion. If you do really well you have to stop at the height of your success and the execs will be putting huge pressure on you to figure out how to continue somehow.

Maybe HBO got it right with Game of Thrones? Have some incredible early seasons and then totally shit the bed later so nobody is clamoring for new content and the showrunners can move on to different projects. This kinda fails the audience test however.

The media landscape is also a concern. I would never ever plan a 5 season story on Netflix for example. And to be fair, some of their best content is one and done. Russian Doll for example has a second season, but it's only barely connected with the first. It's basically an entirely new show that just happens to have the same actors.
I imagine there are a bunch of us "Scene kids" around, Everyone I know that got arrested were the for same reasons. Ironically most of us ended up in very interesting positions / senior positions at a lot of modern companies. Our general rule of thumb was, don't make any money. I often wonder if there are old boxes sitting in storage around universities all over the US, that contain a ton of releases that have been lost to time.
Is AI like grain production?
So what happens to all the startups that were created via Stripe/ATLAS with an SVB account currently less than 250k in cash balances? Should they move their $ to a new bank? if so which one is recommended? thanks!

> there is no meaningful risk that these startups will not be made whole in the coming weeks.

Wow, two very bold claims here:

1. they will be made whole

2. in a few weeks

For 1. I think this is very unlikely to happen. Absolutely account holders will get some money back, but I would be pretty surprised if it was 100%. Regarding number 2. I would be even more shocked if anything more than the FDIC insured amount was returns within "a few weeks".

However you are claiming that there is "no meaningful" probability these will not both happen. Do you care to elaborate on this more because I have heard nobody with any experience in this space making claims like this?

If the point is to kill people, a 20-50MT weapon killing just 15,000 people is a pretty dismal failure. The 16kT Hiroshima attack killed about 100,000.

I've been sneaking into bars since 15 playing drums for a bunch of different bands. Started a band with old high school friends playing midwest-emo and math rock about 7 years ago. During college, we took it more seriously by touring, releasing on small indie labels, and playing at local festivals. Now that everyone has real jobs and settled down so we treat it as a good way to get together, drink beers, and make something. Always open to talking emo/math-rock and drum gear

Yep, good old malloc and calloc (and if you absolutely undeniably have to, free)... well, or your own hand-rolled variants.

Hi beardyw, thanks for the feedback and for reading the piece. As I tried to communicate in the blog post, Mot Juste is not intended for rewriting your work but rather to retrieve specific words and idioms, and I specifically chose that sample sentence to illustrate this point. Rather than copy-paste Mot Juste's output, I select the idiom "cobble together". I encourage you to give Mot Juste a try the next time you write!
I believe it's completely delusional to expect the court system will regard "training an AI system and distilling millions of works into a commercial model" as anything other than creating a derived work based on those works, an act that is not covered by any traditional forms of fair use and therefore illegal unless explicitly authorized by each of the millions authors of those works.

We are living through the early Napster years when people were saying with a straight face that "everything has changed now in regards to intelectual property" and "information [specifically, music in mp3 format] wants to be free". In Morgan Freeman's narration, they were about to find that little had, in fact, changed.

Completely agree, but it did surprise me a bit and I didn't find much when I googled around for "don't mix var and the diamond operator."
To some extent that falls into the category of "fiddly details." Solar panels are probably not the best choice for use alongside bulk harvested crops like corn, wheat, soybeans and even potatoes, but an awful lot of "produce" crops are harvested by hand.

The reason I say "fiddly details" is because questions like "what's the best spacing between rows of panels" and "do I plant under the panels or just between rows" can be decided as people look into available equipment, land prices, crop variation and flexibility, etc.
lol please be gentle. This is a great idea, but most of these features are tablestakes and likely already implemented in an existing web application. Now, if you had a feature like... create a WebRTC connection API + the UI for full video chat and screensharing with React, that might be interesting.
Can confirm, MUJI notebooks are of a decent quality and they can handle fountain pens as well.

In addition to that, I gradually switched to their 0.38 pens of different colors. With fountain pen it was more stylish but impractical for multiple semantic(*) colours. With cheap, light, yet nice quality pens of different colours I can not only carry multiple ones, but have the same set at multiple places.

I would replace the battery if that was the only part affected. Unfortunately when it expanded just like the last time it bends/warps the top case and keyboard, the metal around the trackpad and the bottom case. I can't just replace the battery and leave everything else bent/warped, the laptop won't sit level, the screen will not close completely. It's really not a cheap or easy task. Not to mention the risk involved in removing a battery that is expanded and could rupture.
>These guys are charged with conspiring to kill police officers. They were found bringing guns and tactical items to a remote protest location while chatting about using those guns to kill people.

Could you define and point to evidence of exactly how many of "these guys" there were doing this? Can the government with its penchant for mendacity? There were many thousands and thousands of protestors. It's not hard to find a few casually discussing illegal activity and using that as a justification for painting the rest black.

>Even if the cops were violating people's rights, this is not the best situation to be arguing for civil liberties.

No, this is exactly the best situation for arguing in favor of not blatantly violating civil liberties, because it should especially be argued for groups that aren't part of the social mainstream. That's the real test of how seriously a country takes such rules about civil liberties. Any asshole can argue for civil liberties in favor of widely popular, media-favored protests against logging and pipelines.
Sure, I totally believe you found it valuable, and it's great that it helped you solve your problem. As with simonw, it sounds like it got you over a hump. One you could have gotten over on your own, but maybe you didn't want to or couldn't take the time. But in both cases, what GPT coughed up was a dead end in development terms. It's not like you could just ask it to fix your app or to replace your app.

This sort of reminds me of the 3d-printing hype cycle. People were very excited! We could make any object! We could soon be 3d-printing 3d printers! But in practice, 3d printing is now mostly useful for small, marginally valuable stuff. That's not nothing; I have friends who are excited about their 3d printers. But I also have friends who are excited about woodworking and accordion playing and falconry. But none of these are particularly world-changing.
Well an amendment in 2017 to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware added Section 115 which explicitly permits Delaware startups to adopt in its certificate of incorporation a requirement that all internal corporate claims are exclusively held in front of a Judge in Delaware. Several cases in California have upheld this. So it's not exactly a crazy question to ask if this would work for YC startups employees.
California fortunately doesn’t give a shit.
Is it? I'm not on Twitter and I'm Danish so I'm not really caught up on American identity politics, outside of what you hear online, but is that really revealing any bias of that sort? It sounds like someone who has a dislike for Musk, but really, I think this could be said about most of the billionaires running social media platforms from a certain point of view.

I think we should still put a lot of the blame on ourselves, but really, our political institutions shouldn't be on these centralized social medias if you ask me. They should be running their own instances of something like mastodon, so that it's not an American tech company that gets to moderate Danish politicians. Which isn't really a right or left leaning point of view where I come from.

Frankly saying that Musk burnt $44 billion on a website that makes no money could also just being laughing at the whole situation. I think it's been sort of hilarious to follow, but being Danish, we do have a nice tradition for enjoying watching successful people fail. That being said, you may also be right, but I think it's a bit of stretch to boil this down to political bias of the sort, because there is frankly a bunch of reasons to laugh at twitter right now that have nothing to do with politics.
Or because it’s actually a huge scam.
doesn't the noise from basketballs hitting concrete/asphalt drive you guys nuts?
Why cant universities fund it with their billion dollar endowments?
sure it may (in the long term) be a few percentage points of a loss. The problem is the timeline on which you get access to it. If you are a larger company, 250k won't cover much of your payroll. No banks are going to rush to buy these low interest securities unless they get a steep discount.
It's what most of us called it ironically, eventually it became the standard vernacular amongst most of the sneakernet / underground groups I ran in.

I think in general it is fair, but the very arbitrary 18/not-18 cutoff doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

I consider (myself) and most people I know to have been children at 18 and up to several years older than that. But it's not like people wear their "maturity" levels on their forehead, so the justice system has to make an arbitrary cutoff somewhere.

Not saying it's ideal, and individual circumstances have to be considered, but it's the best a crude system can do.
Why do we have this system that to be able to use your money in convenient way you have to deposit it in a bank that can then lend it out? Lending and keeping deposits should be completely separated things.
There is no reason whatsoever for me to have a stake in lending business just because I want a convenient way to keep and operate my money. Charge me for that and don't do business with my deposits.

Bank going bust should mean stakeholders in the lending business losing their money. The whole federal reserve system can be preserved. Just raise capital to meet the minimum and don't use money from people who just want an account.
