In principle I agree. On one hand, we can positively conclude that IQ is indeed important, but at the same time are horrible at measuring it. That being said, there is a country mile difference between most of these tests suitability for the purposes they are being used.

Essentially the same point that we had in 60s, to be stepping stone for greater things.

Artemis is basically rebooting the manned space program, and that inevitably includes retracing some past steps to regain the position. Progress is not always a linear straightforward thing, occasionally there are setbacks and losses.

So the exitement for Artemis is not just for the mission itself, but more for it being a sign of manned space programs getting attention again, hopefully this time on a more sustainable basis than Apollo.

When you unlock an item in a battle-pass, you have to hold down the button for about a second to unlock it (and there's a little progress bar animation as it unlocks). This is great! it makes it much harder to accidentally unlock the wrong thing with a single button press. The downside to a wrong click is pretty negligible though, you're probably going to unlock everything in the battle-pass eventually anyway.

But in the "store" part of the app, where you're purchasing things with the "v-bucks" in-game currency (which you've paid actual money for), the purchase was just a single button press. It was very easy to accidentally purchase when instead you meant to press the "back" or "preview item" button. Only recently did they change this to use the same "hold for 1 second" pattern already used in the battle-pass.
Spare me the shitty analogies. We write shell scripts because it’s cheap, fast, and the behavior is very predictable.

Like it or not, an AI’s behavior is a black box and can’t be “proven” to execute exactly the same every time for the scenarios you are targeting.

A shell script will do exactly what it has been written to do every time, unless tampered with. And if changes need to be made, it can be done quickly without need for retraining, god knows how long that would take for an AI to learn something new. God help you if you need to maintain “versions” of your AI, trained for different things.

Face it, AI are pointless and slow for certain classes of problems.

> And for what?

The definition of a "systemic" bank is one that, should it fall, could take the world's entire financial system down with it.

So the "for what" would be: to prevent the world's entire financial system from crumbling.

Should one systemic bank fall and make all the other systemic ones fall like dominoes then it's definitely not unthinkable that there'd be logistics issues and very likely famine in some places and probably civil war in several countries. Politicians may not care much: but they care about getting re-elected. And the whole system crumbling and famine and civil war means politicians not getting re-elected.

I mean... Take a small player like SVB: it's not even on the list of systemic banks. A measly $177 bn AuM: that's literally one order of magnitude smaller than Crédit Suisse.

And yet everybody was whining and crying for SVB deposits to be saved and the goverment came to the rescue.

There is spy-vs-spy for getting information and there's spy-vs-spy with the intention of blocking the other country's interests. The first can be seen as merely defensive while the other is a bit more offensive.

For instance, stealing secrets can be seen as defensive, while covertly supporting fringe political groups is squarely on the offensive side.
backpropagation didn't get solved until the '80s, weirdly. before then people were using genetic algorithms to train neural networks.

and it was only in the last decade that the vanishing gradients problem was tamed.

my impression is that ML researchers were stumbling along in the mathematical dark, until they hit a combination (deep neural nets trained via stochastic gradient descent with ReLU activation) that worked like magic and ended the AI winter.

> They've been squawking about the impending recession since 2015 and here we are, they keep saying it but it doesn't happen.

Mostly because the Fed has been creative about keeping the economic bubble going and preventing the numbers from "officially" indicating whether a recession has started. Those folks "on the ground" are more exposed to the reality of the situation: wealth inequality is expanding, wages haven't kept up with rents in decades, inflation and plain old profiteering are resulting in higher prices for worse quantities/qualities... for anyone other than those at the top of the economic ladder (who are largely insulated from the effects of their own economic policies), it's readily apparent that the current economic system is unsustainable, and it's entirely a matter of "when", not "if", the Fed and the broader financial system runs out of tricks to maintain our suspension of disbelief.
Crazy to me how expensive my home state of AZ has gotten in the past few years.

Warn HN: I've never seen the HN community so delusional about a major tech area
HN has been in my life since 2008.

I've seen many technology waves come and rise and go in the comment section of HN.

Almost invariably, the HN community is quite rational and curious.

Yet, the HN community's response to crypto is like nothing I've ever seen in my fifteen years of being here.

For most people in the HN community, crypto's perennial scams and dumps seem to have created an irrational level of disgust for the entire crypto industry. I believe this disgust has overwhelmed rationality and curiosity.

If you're an engineer, if you think of yourself as a curious person, but you haven't taken 30 minutes to read up on zero-knowledge proofs or stablecoin growth, or you haven't taken an hour to create a wallet and try products like Maker DAI, ENS, Compound, or Uniswap, then perhaps you aren't actually that curious, and/or you're letting your disgust of crypto scams get in the way of rational inquiry into crypto technology.

Answer:
No, there is no standard or implementation specification that requires a covered entity to “certify” compliance.

An ordered list of strings is the training corpus. That's the data being modeled.

But that data is more specific than the set of all possible ordered lists of strings: it's a specific representation of an example game written as a chronology of piece positions.

GPT models every pattern it can find in the ordered list of tokens. GPT's model doesn't only infer the original data structure (the list of tokens). That structure isn't the only pattern present in the original data. There are also repeated tokens, and their relative positions in the list: GPT models them all.

When the story was written in the first place, the game rules were followed. In doing so, the authors of the story laid out an implicit boundary. That boundary is what GPT models, and it is implicitly a close match for the game rules.

When we look objectively at what GPT modeled, we can see that part of that model is the same shape and structure as an Othello game board. We call it a valid instance of an Othello game board. We. Not GPT. We. People who know the symbolic meaning of "Othello game board" make that assertion. GPT does not do that. As far as GPT is concerned, it's only a model.

And that model can be found in any valid example of an Othello game played. Even if it is implicit, it is there.
> if you're using a font "stack" then you don't care about typography at all

Why?

If I want to display a document with some atmosphere for which several fonts could be suitable, and it's not so important if a default generic font is used, but I care more about performance and resource usage, it's a good solution, no?

The default generic font will probably be a well designed font that the user is used to, so, typographically, it's very good. I like this "best effort" approach.

A custom font will probably be worse for many users: users have to download it, there can be flashes, reflows, rerenders or a long time where stuff is blank, and the user might not be familiar with this font. Since fonts are mostly a matter of taste anyway, it's not clear the user will prefer this custom font over the ones that are already on their computer and that they are more likely to be familiar with.

So, in the end, it might as well be the better solution, typographically speaking.

Unused End-of-Life runtimes get removed automatically now (as of 1.9.1), but the answer is a bit more nuanced than that, especially if there are multiple users on the same system (that could have user-specific flatpaks that use system runtimes).

It could also benefit users that have more disk space than bandwidth (I was in that situation for a while, though a mechanism for sharing runtimes with LAN peers would be nice).

In New York City you should be making at least $150k to $200k for a decent life IMO. If that’s not you there’s no point living there, but you can certainly commute there to work the menial jobs if you’d like. Inevitably someone has to do them and it won’t be the $200k+ residents, so job opportunities should be fairly plentiful.
love this list, especially Option #4 that is not on everyone's radar but a very real issue clouding people's judgement.
Depends how far you take the word 'fundamental', on the one hand yeah most DL systems are trying to predict something, and they generally have some concept of compression built in. But in terms of the steps to curate a dataset, train, test, iterate and actually use the model for a given end goal - they are pretty fundamentally different.
I think the Feds are going to keep fighting inflation. Will they rate hike or not I have no idea, but I'd be very surprised if they lowered rates right away.

Unless the economy really goes bonkers stupid and crashes hard, I really don't see them lowering rates anytime this year and maybe not next.

A few banks that were arguably stupid crashing and burning? Well that's part of the expected cost of fighting inflation.

Show HN: Learn ML and AI infrastructure in the browser
We are the developers of an open-source package Metaflow that we started at Netflix. Metaflow provides a human-friendly interface to the full stack of ML infrastructure, including data access, compute, workflow orchestration, and versioning. It is used by hundreds of companies across industries.

Over the past years, we have seen that there are two major stumbling blocks for folks who want to learn to build real-world ML applications:

1) Setting up the full infrastructure stack in the cloud costs time and money. The investment is worth it once you know what you want to do, but that's not always the case in the beginning when you just want to explore.

2) While many excellent ML/AI tutorials exist publicly, there aren't that many hands-on, interactive environments showing how to map models to real-world workflows, running on real infrastructure.

This Show HN release is about our attempt to address (1) and (2): We host free, fully-featured sandbox environments that include a private Kubernetes cluster, metadata service and UI, and a workflow orchestrator backed by Argo Workflows (1). If you like what you see, you can set up a similar environment in your cloud account using our open-source Terraform templates.

In addition, leaning on industry experts, we have created a number of tutorials covering NLP, computer vision, OpenAI Whisper, and recommendation systems (2).

Hopefully you'll find these resources useful. Let us know what you think!

If you tens of millions in cash, that money shoupd be managed proffeshionally. And anyway, why should preserving that money be anyone's problem other than the owner's?

There is no such thing as 'sace money' in the world. It just doesn't exist.

We as a society spend more effort making sure money is safe than we do making sure children are safe/not hungry.

A person walking outside cant be safe from getting hit by a car, a child cant be safe from getting an ilness, plant machinery cant be safe from breakdown, a city can't be safe from being hit by an earthquake.

There is no person or asset that is safe.

why should money be safe?

Long ago I was tasked with swapping someone's Porsche off to them at their house, as the service writer the evening before had given the customer the wrong car.

Both black. One a panamera (so?) 4, one a 4s. One with dealer plates (the one they ended up taking home..) , one with a custom plate.

So, after showing up to this persons house (through a golf course, up a winding top of the hill driveway), I knocked on his door and asked him the same question (after apologizing for the workers mistake).

"Oh, well, it was evening and the radio stations were programmed in the same, so I just didn't even think about it. In the morning I said "well, that's strange, usually they wash the car nicely before returning it -- then I realized it wasn't my car".

Guy was super down to earth about it, not a care at all and the exchange was very pleasant.

Point being: some people just really go with the flow, and even with 100k+ cars 20 years ago, sometimes just don't really pay attention to, well, much of anything. Bigger fish to fry, I guess.

I'll never forget the whole interaction, fully expecting a grumpy person and coming face to face with "eh, life!".
When I visited the US Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL a couple years back, it was full of stuff promoting the SLS as the future of space flight, without any mention of other, non-NASA platforms. It felt like the kind of propaganda-driven alternative reality one might encounter in the Soviet Union—it's been plain for years that, at best, it's gonna be obsolete by the time it's ready, but here are all these pieces of marketing pretending it's not a giant waste of money and carefully avoiding mentioning any more-promising rockets. If a person came in without any idea what was going on in modern space flight, they'd have left the place having gotten entirely the wrong impression. It was the opposite of educational.

Then again, most of it that wasn't run-down and/or broken just felt like a big, ugly, defense contractor trade show (complete with the kind of hilariously-terrible graphical collages & infographics that end up in military powerpoint slides), so that's in keeping with the rest of the vibe. Gross, definitely do not recommend. If you can convince them to let you into just the Saturn V hangar at half-off the normal ticket price, that'd be worth it.
the difference is that these processes, i.e. stacking multiple images, are meant to find out as much signal as possible from a noisy set and if they bring extra signal they are all declared in the sources.
