Event-driven machine learning will enable a new generation of businesses that will be able to make incredibly thoughtful decisions faster than ever, but is your data ready to take advantage of it?
Small modern families don’t have a ton of people around and the relationships between those people tend to settle into equilibrium. It’s not really adequate for practicing the adaptive social skills we usually (used to?) expect from adults.

And day care can provide more of that, but is naturally supplanted for 25-30 hours per week once kids start attending school.

Socialization is absolutely a function of schools. You can expect big societal repercussions if it were substantially removed.

What is your definition of hyperconverged? How many physical servers are you talking about?

You can get really, really far with just libvirt.
Oh, my bad. I agree completely.

I wonder... how many issues was Kafka "soaking up" by dealing with concerns that applications and services didn't have to even consider?

As in, I wonder how much application developer burden would be present if using MQTT instead.

In general, it seems like Russia's relations with nearby Central Asian nations are weaker than they were a few years ago. There is perceived weakness because most of Russia's materiel is tied up far from their borders, and some nations like Azerbaijan and Armenia seem to feel that Russia is abrogating its duties to meditate conflicts within their regional CSTO alliance.

In Kazakhstan specifically, Russia deployed peacekeeping forces to stifle protests against the local government a bit over a year ago. Gratitude has poor staying power in global politics though, and it's unclear whether Russia has the resources for another such intervention.

It sounds like this is an issue over unpaid debts, and Kazakhstan mostly seized infrastructure which isn't going anywhere. So they're probably just changing the locks until they get paid.

The news is that they might have been too scared to do something like this in the past. Maybe they don't think that Russia will stick its neck out for the sake of Roscosmos' finances right now.

I jumped onto https://mqtt.org/ to try to answer my usual use-case question about non-Kafka messaging, which is: "Do the messages get saved anywhere so you can come back and read them later?" Still not entirely sure about it.

But I did see:

This is why MQTT has 3 defined quality of service levels: 0 - at most once, 1- at least once, 2 - exactly once

Anecdotally... GOOG/Meta haven't updated their interview process significantly and it now just screens for quantity of leetcode grinded. This is likely a poor signal for actual engineering competence.
To me, this alone could also be a collider/Berkson's paradox: Conditioning on making the cut, there is a negative correlation because you make the cut by either being extremely skillful or by having great certifications – one compensates the other. That in turn would mean that certifications are actually positively correlated with getting employed at Google.

You need the full picture, that is people not making the cut to exclude this pattern.

> that's just the nature of having more than one language in use

Well, yeah. I guess my point is that ASL is pretty much a foreign language.

I'd compare it to the situation with the english language worldwide - since english is the lingua franca, so to speak, many countries around the world teach it as a second language. If you don't learn english, then (generally speaking) you're at a disadvantage because you can only communicate with a subset of your population.

I'm not saying there's a problem with deaf people, any more than there's a problem with anyone else who simply doesn't happen to know the languages of some of the people around them.

Ask HN: Why are 5 comments/day “posting too fast”, what precisely is “too fast”?
Notice: I have used the search function and read ALL results, none contains a precise definition of what "too fast" is. Some suggest emailing HN, but I do not have an email address anymore (because they all want phone numbers nowadays).

I've posted a total of merely 5 comments today, and have not posted a thread at all.

The last comment was over 2 hours ago.

Yet I couldn't post another reply, HN told me "You're posting too fast. Please slow down. Thanks.".

So what is "too fast" precisely?

Why is the timeout so long?

And 5 comments in a single day does seem reasonable, why did I get a timeout anyway?

I have personal obligations, it's really stressful for me to keep what I wanted to say on my mind for hours and keep trying to post it again until it works :| So it would be very useful to know when I can post it so I can schedule this and be done with it :)

Side node:

I know these timeouts are a policy decision to keep people from posting angry things. Have you considered the possibility that people might get even more vile if they feel like their opinion is being suppressed for arbitrary reasons? Because such a timeout script cannot take into account whether what the person is trying to say is right or wrong, it punishes everyone the same for trying to participate. And arbitrary judgements which are not by any means related to what actually happened are anger-inducing, it could push some people over the edge of not caring for good faith discussion anymore.

As an example, in this case the large timeout of over an hour and the anger induced by that made me wonder whether it was even a script, or rather a manual action because the HN moderation team could have some sort of agenda against the (IMHO factual!) statements which I posted. Inducing such distrust does not seem beneficial to the community :|

As an alternative to strict timeouts, I would suggest just showing a confirmation check: "You have replied just N minutes ago. Are you sure you're not being angry here and want to post this? Please type 'I am NOT angry, please post this' into the below box to confirm."
I am not even that optimistic about it. What would be the incentive to keep humans entertained in a world run by AI? Why would they keep billions of us around? I won't make any sense economically.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I would not be surprised if forum moderation was a volunteer activity. Even core functionality like developing the lessons, for less popular languages, was done by the Duo community and given very little support from paid staff.
Russia's playbook is to threaten escalation to "de-escalate". Putin does not want to actually bring NATO into the fight because then the ONLY option he has is nuclear annihilation. Right now he thinks he can still get Western people to lose support for Ukraine eventually and grind them down into a fine paste. That's why he keeps making nuclear threats on TV, because they are directed at Western citizens to try and scare them into giving up.

You can be sure that if Putin ACTUALLY wants to backstop a red line with actual nuclear threats, we won't hear about that.
Which to be fair is what most people reading that problem understood the first time. I wonder what would happen if you then tell gpt "No, it's the lion that can't be with the cabbage, not the goat, try again"

Plenty of industry is focussed on dietary suggestions. Diets and supplements that augment one's electro-potential is an obvious marketing win. That said, it seems a local induced current or field would cure such problems more directly than fussing with diet, which causes a general effect across the body.
I do want to add that I really hope these sell like crazy so you can get enough volume to get some higher performance ARM chips in future models! I _do_ think these are amazing looking little devices and would 100% buy it for light work and play if I didn't have my Max 2.

Neither a human can solve the halting problem. There is no evidence the brain does anything that a computer can't do.
> Answering LSAT questions requires general intelligence.

Obviously not, since GPT-4 doesn't have general intelligence. Likewise "common sense," "knowledge about the world," nor "reasoning ability."

As just one example, reasoning ability: GPT-4 failed at this problem I just came up with: "If Sarah was twice as old as Jimmy when Jimmy was 1/3 as old as Jane, and Jane is as much older than Sarah as Sarah is older than Jimmy, and Sarah is now 40, how old are Jane and Jimmy?"

First, every answer GPT-4 came up with contradicted the facts given: they were just wrong. But beyond that, it didn't recognize that there are many solutions to the problem. And later when I gave it an additional constraint to narrow it to one solution, it got the wrong answer again. And when I say "wrong," I mean that its answer clearly contradicted the facts given.

I agree. This tech is awesome and has countless great uses, but I think people are really underestimating how much it is going to be used to make our collective lives worse because using it will make someone a few extra dollars.
Yea, I read all about it in Anathem over a decade ago. I've come to terms with it. We'll have a balkanized "net", the old internet will be fun garbage. Hopefully it'll cut down on the damage anonymous users and individual state interests can do. Hopefully it'll help take away the free megaphones from idiots and evil doers.
took a quick look - does this differ meaningfully from pothos?
I agree. My gut reaction to previous GPT releases was interest, but for this one (before even reading it) it was dread.

I think we're very close to an inflection point where functionally all information is polluted by the possibility that it's completely hallucinated or built on something hallucinated. We're already getting there in some ways - google vs. seo, astroturfed forums, fabricated publications, and this is just that but way worse. Probably orders of magnitude worse in terms of exposed information surface.

It's basically a pollution - and one that's nearly impossible to clean. The ecosystem of referential information now has its version of microplastics.
Check out the announcement. GPT-4 accepts mixed-mode inputs of text and images.

Mouse cursor instructions aren’t a massive leap from the current capabilities, given the rate of progress and recent developments around LLM tool use and the like.

These tools cannot act on their own and still need professionals to be responsible for their application. If the promise of LLMs comes true, there will be much new work created in tuning models and integrating them into every worker’s job in the unique context of every company. It will likely take decades for companies to fully adapt to the potential, just like it took decades to adapt to the personal computer.

Study up, work hard and keep at it. Don’t dispair, be hopeful. And once you get a job and make some money, put some of each paycheck into the S&P 500 as a hedge that Labor will become worth much less than Capital for awhile.

Huh, this actually works! I never imagined it would be so simple. Thank you.
Isn't GPT essentially tool for rephrasing what it finds on the Internet, it doesn't really think?
They do leverage emergent abstractions. For example, in [1] a transformer model learns the coset structure of a group to better grok its multiplication table.

Why can’t they also make glasses that translate sign language into English audio or text then?
Maybe, but in the past we've used fighters to shoot down Reapers after losing positive control over them (e.g., in Afghanistan), so it's not clear that they are very self destructible. Flying it straight down into the water would probably cause a large amount of disintegration.

MQ9s have also been lost many times before, including over Yemen and Libya, so it's not clear how sensitive the wreck still is.
It whitelists all of the Apple privacy-invading phone home nonsense by default. You have to disable those rules to see the dozens of alerts from different OS processes phoning home to Apple (even if you don't use iCloud or iMessage or FaceTime or the App Store or any other service at all).
Is there a name for this fallacy (is it a fallacy?). I feel like we see the same issue with self driving cars crash rates. People are hesitant to adopt because they aren't perfect, but ignore that it's better than the status quo.
But the human (in the comment chain) here made exactly the same mistake!

In that sense this test doesn’t seem to be a good fit for testing the reasoning capabilities. Since it‘s also easy to get wrong for humans (and humans also don’t always reason about everything from first principles, especially if they have similar answers already cached in their memory).

It seems you would need novel puzzles that aren’t really common (even if in kind) and don’t really sound similar to existing puzzles to get a handle on its reasoning capabilities.
Good point. I suppose it would help to know what guardrails are in place

My biggest concern is the use of the local application. I don't _think_ that is affected but we'll see. I don't currently log in at all on the local application, will they start requiring you to login to even use the application?

Yes there is but you probably don't like the answer: install Linux on the thing and be done with it. It does not seem to work as well on the ARM-versions but on Intel it flies. You can try to keep on fighting the beast but in the end the beast will win unless you show it the door - its only vulnerability. You get the glitzy hardware without the annoyances of MacOS - Linux may have its own annoyances sometimes but these tend to be less nefarious and more easily solved than the hurdles put up by Apple. Apple is not alone in this or I would have said to install 'Linux or Windows', Microsoft is just as bad when it comes to these shenanigans. An additional benefit is that you'll be able to keep the thing running an up-to-date OS for far longer since (most...?) Linux distributions are not enmeshed in planned obsolescence schemes.

>I don't see any real understanding only human like appearance.

There isn't, but trying to find that in currently available LLMs just means you are seeking the wrong things. Did workers who weaved magnetic core memories in the 1950s expect those devices to store LLMs with billions of parameters? Yet the design and operation of these devices were crucial stepping stones towards computer memory devices that exist today. The future will look at GPT-4 in the same way we look at magnetic core memories in the present.

>> How are you going to build your service network?

> Compensate the contractors fairly and act as lead gen

This will be tough. At least in my geography every decent contractor is busy all the time. Additionally, you'll need to provide enough business to your partners that it's worth the time to deal with. I don't know if that's 1/x install per week or enough to basically have a whole dedicated person. I've tried to outsource something similar (equipment start-up, not install), but my volume was only ~20/year and my guy eventually said it wasn't worth the hassle unless the price was outrageous.

I see a bunch of people dogpiling. I'm skeptical of the distribution approach, but there is space for more heat pump players. Good luck. See you at AHR in Chicago

It’s not at all humiliation to the US.

The US could just up the tempo of drone operations in the region, if the Russians want to keep hitting them with fighters, well, even with a pretty Russia-friendly by-unit-count success ratio, the impact isn’t like to favor Russia in the long term.

Heck, the US could just make a comment about the incompetence and recklessness it displays and largely ignore it for the same reason.

> because it is no longer a feared superpower.

If it isn’t a feared superpower, why is everything that Russia does framed in fear of the US?

As far as that last part goes, I think we already have ample evidence that bots can, if not have emotions, then pretend that they do (including wrt their decision making) well enough for humans to treat them as genuine.
