It’s amazing that founders and employees think this startup is worth doing. Classic YC mentality.
GPT-3 is horrible at arithmetic. Yet if you define the algorithmic steps to perform addition on 2 numbers, accuracy on addition arithmetic shoots up to 98% even on very large numbers. https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.09066

Oh goodness, I've been programming for 30 years and I'm still in this picture and I hate it. I have to fight the temptation to judgement all the time when I read other people's code.

Their code uses too many classes? Bad code! Its overly factorized? Under factorized? Too many dependencies? Too much reinvention of the wheel? All these things are obviously evidence that whoever wrote this code is inexperienced (and they probably have deep character flaws).

I'm sure other people feel exactly the same way about my code, too. Its frustrating and dumb.

>You're right, but it is entirely prisoner's dilemma.

But part of what makes that whole bit of game theory interesting is that it has a lot more complexity then just the simple version. Yes in a plain prisoner's dilemma betray can make sense, but in an iterated prisoner's dilemma that's no longer true. That's been part of the debate around the whole debacle, for much of SV's history it was very much iterated, it wasn't just about any one company for VCs or even founders, there was some interest in the overall ecosystem. Some very successful people only found success after multiple failures, but success could pay for it all in the end. VCs too, maintaining the ecosystem mattered. In that sense, killing the goose laying the golden eggs, even if there is some short term payoff, is still clearly a poor idea.

There was an HN piece sometime in the last few days I think talking about this and speculating/arguing that the rise of unicorns changed the community from iterated towards the more singular game. If it only took a single megahit to cash out forever, then incentives might be more towards selfishness vs thinking about the next company and the next after that.

>If you saw the HN thread on Thursday, there were founders posting that they were told it will be fine. How do you think they were feeling on Friday?

Sure, but how do you think they were feeling Monday? Or now? Zero threat to deposits after all for anyone including those who sat tight, but they lost a valuable service and icon, invited other problems and scrutiny, etc. While I'm sure lots will confidently say they did the right thing and that purely looking out for #1 was "responsible" I suspect there are at least a few who have some real regrets, even if SVB absolutely made very stupid choices as well.

It is impossible for any Chinese company, let alone the size of TikTok, to exist without partnering with the CCP.

They can appear to be organized and operate like a normal, independent tech corporation, with their charming and eccentric CEOs and their garage startup story.

But we all know the real bosses are in Beijing.

How and why the US allowed companies like Huawei, Ali, DJI and TikTok take over American markets and infiltrate pretty much every single layer of national security for years is pretty disconcerting and shocking to me, even knowing how effective lobbyist can be at manipulating our lawmakers.
VoLTE will work over 5G (and sometimes over 3G in esoteric configurations). It is very data centric, even using SIP for call control. A rule of thumb is, any time you have a data connection, VoLTE can be used.

This is why Wi-Fi Calling and VoLTE took off at roughly the same time. Once you can route calls as data, you can offer it over both cellular and Wi-Fi. (Wi-Fi Calling has an additional outer IPsec layer, but it is the same "guts" inside the tunnel.)
It's recommended to use virtual destructors for objects that live on the heap. Say you have a base class pointer to an object of a derived class; with nonvirtual destructors the base class determines the destructor that is called, whereas with virtual destructors it's the derived class that chooses the form of the destructor.
I ported my number to a voip service and set up an IVR that forces callers to press a number. I've gotten exactly one spam call in the roughly one year since I did that.

Yes! In short:

Do we leave it to every web app to figure out how best to serve everyone, and have them bundle their own tuning optimizers into each app? Or do we bake in a higher level abstraction that works for everyone that the browser itself will be able to help optimize?

There's some risk & the browser apis likely won't come with all the escape-hatches the full tools might have to manually jigger with optimizations, but the idea of getting everyone to DIY seems like a promise of misfit: way too much code when you don't need it, way not enough tuning when you do need it. And there's other risks; the assurity that oh we just need one or maybe two ops on the web & then everything will be fine forever doesn't wash with me. If we make new ops the old code won't use it.

And what about hardware that doesn't have any presence on the web; lots of cheap embedded cores have a couple tflops of neural coprocessing, but neither wasm nor webgpu can target that atm, it's much too simple a core for that kind of dynamic execution; it's the sea of weird expansive hardware that OpenXLA helps one target (and target very well indeed) that is it's chief capability, and I can't imagine forgoing a middleman abstraction like it.

"if databases are copyrightable because they represent curation, then software must be too."

Circling back around to creative works, the process of making art is also one of curation, as had been amply demonstrated over 100 years ago by the Readymades of Marcel Duchamp.[1]

The curation involved in prompt selection and selection of which AI-generated works/images to use should therefore be just as copyrightable as databases, if all that copyright demands is curation.

I don't buy the explanation; I think what's going on is far simpler. You only have to break up the tokens. Literally putting in dashes and slashes, like your trying to bypass the swear-word filter on Runescape works without all the convoluted python nonsense.
Under that interpretation nearly everything is liquid.

If you’re going to take a loss by selling an asset prematurely, it is illiquid. Otherwise you’d have to say things like the houses people own are liquid because the person could sell it in a day if they were willing to do so for 80 cents on the dollar.

That is not the financial world’s definition of “liquid”
The Google Project Zero blog post implies that all Google Pixel models have received a fix, but really only some of them have, and it doesn't mention that the vulnerability can't be mitigated on them either. The 9to5Google post gets both of these things right, though: "the Pixel 6, 6 Pro, and 6a have yet to see that March update" and "Google Pixel devices received software updates in 2021 that automatically enabled VoLTE and removed the toggle."

It looks like they've selected similar fonts that are installed on each system. E.g., for the "Transitional" font on macOS, it uses "Charter", on Linux it uses "Bitstream Charter", on Windows it uses "Sitka Text", and so on. So not every user will see the exact same font, but they'll all see fonts with similar properties.

I usually have zero luck with stack overflow except for super trivial things.

Some of the stuff I’ve done has no documentation and I had to find an example (like one other person in the entire history of mankind though this was a good idea) on some random repo on GitHub. Or I’m implementing code from a paper written 30 or 40 years ago and there’s no example code to look at. I could ask on stack overflow but who needs that abuse?

Admittedly I just do this to amuse myself and think that having a LLM digest a paper and spit out code is the bee’s knees.

SMS would be a much better platform if there were actually any decent apps.

I want but cannot find these features:

- Disable/mute notifications for all unsaved (contactless) numbers.

- Block all texts from email addresses. Real people know what is painfully obvious: you can use my email for that!

- Disable/mute notifications for all group texts. People don't expect to get an immediate response from sending a message to a group. You can practically never get multiple people together in person for a conversation without coordinating with each person beforehand.

OP website is complete hogwash. Blaming VCs for deposit drawdowns fully within their right is shortsighted. Now the entire banking industry will need to reassess their treasury bond investment risk. Of course mass actions related to derisking those exposures could also spiral out of control within the ecosystem, with further weak banks with way too much risk exposed and failing, but it’s likely necessary.
Great work from P0 (and Keen lab).

but this statement about baseband mitigations is only partially true. Huawei Balong platform has ASLR and stack canaries now (and some Infineon too I believe), and all baseband platforms are improving (even Mediatek). I didn't check Qualcomm lately, but they have a lot of similar protections now.

It's not trivial to do a pivot to AP on modern iPhones or Android phones (excluding some categories) - especially with PAC (and MTE coming).

But yeah, (Samsung) Shannon are an attractive target for attackers due to easily obtainable firmware, strings, DWARF (elf) firmware that you can find and relatively good debugging platform. The bugs are generally pretty low hanging too.

This isn't the same on Qualcomm platforms (Hexagon is notoriously hard to RE and debug), or the iPhone platforms.
Frankly, you’re suffering from a serious failure of imagination if you think these things will just remain cute chatbots without any means of interacting with the outside world other than the user console. Indeed the cat’s already out of the bag with Bing.

And you don’t even need that for the cute chatbot to be highly dangerous in the wrong hands. The first thing that trivially comes to mind is to convince GPT-(N+1) to find novel exploitable security vulnerabilities in OpenSSL or whatever. Strictly for responsible, white-hat purposes, of course.

These people absolutely deserve to be named and shamed. If the big, "evil" banks can cooperate for the collective good of their industry and the wider economy as they did today by injecting $30 billion of deposits into First Republic to forestall its collapse, there's no reason why these supposedly enlightened, rational VCs couldn't at a minimum collectively agree to just not completely withdraw their deposits from SVB in a stampede, or perhaps go a bit further and actually help them raise additional capital.

Instead they gutted the bank that provided them with banking services for 40 years, often when other banks would not. Some of them even did so two-facedly, publicly claiming to support SVB while pulling their and their companies' money out of it:

> Y Combinator advised its portfolios to collapse SVB, while Garry Tan petitioned the government for a bailout

Union Square:

> Signed the statement [of support of SVB] after contributing to the run.

Tell HN: A 8000 tokens long chat with GPT-4 can cost more than $5 using the API
Just like about everyone I'm really impressed by GPT-4 and already a happy user of it via ChatGPT Plus, but something that I haven't seen mentioned a lot about GPT-4 is that while OpenAI has put a lot of emphasis on its usage as a chat bot, it doesn't really seem cost effective to use it that way via the API for now, at least not for long length conversations.

I'm not sure at all that my calculations are right, but here they are for a conversation I just had with ChatGPT (GPT-4 model):
- It was about 8000 tokens long in total (counting both my messages and the ones of ChatGPT)
- I sent around 45 messages
- The answers of ChatGPT were about 100 tokens each

Assuming the token length of the conversation increased at a constant rate with each new message, we can consider that, on average, each sent message costs 4000 tokens (half of 8000, the final total conversation length).

The price of context tokens for the 8k model is $0.03 per 1000 tokens, the price of generated tokens is $0.06 per 1000 tokens.

If each sent message costs 4000 tokens on average, and that 100 (0.1k) of these tokens are generated tokens, that equates to 3900 (3.9k) context tokens on average, which means that for 45 sent messages you have (0.1 x 0.06 + 3.9 x 0.03) x 45 = $5.535

I feel like even for a personal usage, the costs would quickly become very high: even if you just had one conversation like this per day, that would be about $150 at the end of the month. That's too much for me.

What's your opinion about this? Did I get the computation right? Is it likely that OpenAI is having big margins? Because I don't see how would Bing Chat even be viable if this was anywhere close to the actual cost of running it?
I support having web targets. It'd be a good offering.

But it feels upside down to me from what we really all should want, which is a safe way to let the web target any backend you have. WebGPU or WebGL or wasm are going to be OK targets, but with limited hardware support & tons of constraints that mean they won't perform as well as openxla.

Also how will these targets get profiled? Do we ship the same WebGL to a 600w monster as a rpi?

There's a lot of really good reasons to want OpenXLA under the browser, rather than above/before it.

Unions are simply a rent-seeking mechanism to extract more wealth from the shareholders by restricting their contract rights.

Detroit was the wealthiest city in the US in 1950, with the highest per capita GDP in the country. Over the course of the 1950s, 60s and 70s, the UAW union took over, with membership eventually peaking in 1978.

What followed was industrial collapse, and eventually, Detroit becoming a ghost town.

Unions are not good for labor at large, just the labor that is on the winning side of the zero sum rent extraction scheme.

Gambling in general is expanding across the board. Loot boxes for kids, then cryptocurrency pump & dump, sports gambling, casinos being built. It’s a kind of decay I saw elsewhere first.
Metaphorically you should aim to be the second out the door really. It’s the first person out the door who starts the run, and starting the run is rarely rational. Once the run has begun, yeah you should aim to be out the door fast.

Unfortunately it’s very rare to have the knowledge and/or connections necessary to guarantee that you can not instigate a run, but still withdraw before the collapse.
Is it possible to integrate this with [onnxruntime-web](https://onnxruntime.ai/docs/tutorials/web/)?
The US historically has oscillated between allowing gambling and restricting gambling. We might be at the high mark of this current swing. When most people know someone whose life was ruined by gambling we will see widespread bans and likely go back to just Nevada having legal gambling (as it is allowed in their state constitution).

> So how does this even end? Is it a temporary thing until the bridge bank gets acquired by somebody, or do they have now perpetual 100% protection from the FDIC? Really trying to understand.

That will depend on what the FDIC does, and I don't think even they know what the end result will be. They'd like to get it back into private hands (and to that end they want to keep it operating normally, to make it as attractive as possible to buy, at least for the time being), but that depends on finding someone willing to take it. If they can't, they might start gradually winding it down in orderly fashion (e.g. close to new accounts, start giving people a while to transition), or they might keep running it in the current limbo forever (just look at Freddy and Fannie).
Every reasonable human being with money in SVB should be in this list.
