Guix has a different take on this problem: it provides package transformations to modify the build graph on the command line (or in a Scheme file), which don't preclude the use of binary substitutes and reproducible builds.

All stuff is cached in /gnu/store so people won't have to rebuild packages, and with `guix publish` people can share built binaries with others (discovery via Avahi optional).
Oh, but your note resonates with me — we’ve slowly changed our what we expect of a learned person. Once, understanding was central. Increasingly, we mainly care about getting the right answer. Or, in the case of AI, something that looks and feels like the right answer.

yep - in the short term there will be some discontinuities like this. But longer term - more staff working remotely is going to take pressure off real estate prices in cities, so it will actually be justifiable even there that salaries can fall. Unfortunately since so many office space leases are long term, and rezoning of land use even slower, this can take a very long time to flow through.
I think a big problem is calling the thing a bond. Everybody is going to think it is senior to equity when in fact it's junior, because that's what every class in capital structure says: the most junior tranche is called equity.

In general complicating things is not a great idea. Why didn't the regulators just say "hey you guys just need to issue more regular equity" instead of inventing this weird Frankenstein?

Especially in a crisis, people need to be able to think quickly and clearly about what they have, and making things more complex does not help that.

That could be a totally unrelated bug, iOS is still running many different software pieces. On macOS I saw no issue on Nvidia, AMD, and Apple GPUs.

And just as a warning, it is still not clear how sweep accounts are handled in the case where the primary bank fails. SVB offered sweep accounts. But due to the intervention, the recovery process of those accounts was never tested in a real life scenario. If recovering your sweep accounts takes months, that could be really bad for a business trying to make payroll. And from what I read, there is some "operational risk" as well, i.e. if a bunch of money hits your account the same day a bank fails, that money will be in your primary banks account and if it is over the FDIC limit that amount will be uninsured.
Google Play Protect has limited capabilities to protect against in-the-wild exploits of the kind Maddie described. It knows about certain packaged implementations, which means that it can offer some defense from off-the-shelf uses of an exploit, but it definitely does not reduce the risk to anywhere near zero. The only correct way to mitigate against exploits like this is a patch, end of story.

"Type Tetris" is the perfect description of what I've felt with rust at times for stuff where I don't care too much about performance but don't want to wrap everything with Arc<Mutex<T>> or .clone() everything.

I don't say this from a perspective of distaste. I really like rust's ecosystem and tooling, but would really love to use `RustScript` one day which is basically Rust with a hint of Go. Green threads and all references can be treated as if they are effectively pointing into the heap.

If you read the LLM papers they do that on the standard batch of evaluations: MMLU, hellaswag, winogrande, etc. Every once in a while they have to make up a new evaluation suite since SOTA is close enough to human-level performance to not be impressive any more.

Just read the actual papers and the progress is readily apparent.

No, we have just worked with huge enterprise applications for 20 years and attempted to get the build system right a few times already, learning from previous attempts — as opposed to creating some mess of ad-ridden (seriously — having terminal ads, are we crazy?!!), slow (windows literally chokes up on deleting the node_modules folder, which is not a rare operation), displaying some insane number of vulnerabilities no matter what, which is also due to having way too many too small packages, and every one bringing in a huge deal of other bullshit tiny dependencies.

Oh, did you know that maven wasn’t hit by those dependency confusion attacks, being almost alone in that? Also, I can literally build a million lines repo faster than the frontend which is relatively small and just outputs goddamn js and css files..
I'm UK native and had never heard of the word as an insult. I wonder if it's a regional thing?
Generally the fraction is fairly low, because the bar for a full chain these days is pretty high. That said, it is important to not be lulled into a false sense of security because you don't seem like an attractive target. A chain worth $50k dollars can be a good purchase if you think you can bring in a million dollars home with it.
It's hard to tell for certain from the paper, without going deep into the code, but it seems they created the new model the same way the depth conditioned SD models were made i.e. normal finetune.

It might be possible to create a "original view + new angle" conditioned model much more easily by taking the Controlnet/T2IAdapter/GLIDE route where you freeze the original model.

Text to 3d seems almost close to being solved.

It also makes me think a "original character image + new pose" conditioned model would also work quite well.

Running LM on two gpus on a single system comes with 10x speed penalty. Getting layers across network will be in general even slower. They talk about 1 token per second, with images it will be even less due to larger amount of sequential steps.

It can be useful... if it's even possible. But there is quite slim amount of possible use cases.

Generation will be slower, so why bother? For high amounts of batches? Maybe. But why use it if we have Swarm by db0?

Training theoretically can be worth it, but something like Kickstarter and gpu renting can be both more cost-effective and quicker.

That's also "solved". Yes models exhibit hallucinations, but chain of thought prompting and ReAct prompting improve accuracy on factual tasks greatly, particuarly in a data augmented generation setting. We are finding new and better ways to prompt language models. Scaling up the models even further will also improve performance.

I ask myself if foregoing the chance to learn under fire and outsourcing it to a corporate tool is extracting the right value from it. Yeah you get the task on hand done. Maybe means money comes in. Trumps everything right? But next time you'll depend on this remote API to hold your hands again. What if it costs 10x as much then, or is now proprietary and unavailable to you?

We're all giving up learning for short term convenience? Is that what makes good engineers?
There are only two distinct transitions there.
A wireless controller ALONE is already over 20ms, and that’s before you touch the network, actually doing with that input, wait for the display to redraw…

At a 20ms total round trip, that only buys you about a 1500 mile radius, again completely ignoring all other latencies.
It would be interesting to see if anyone else is working in this area using Chat GPT or other language models.
No, it's more that Apple has always released iPod with older chips, and in this case it also decided to discontinue that product line, which meant that they dropped software support for it relatively soon.

To me model architecture sounds the most important.

Stable diffusion was possible because diffusion model architecture and then doing it in latent space instead of image space and then upscaling.

Yes, but it has some issues in latest models.

> GPT-4 can also be confidently wrong in its predictions, not taking care to double-check work when it’s likely to make a mistake. Interestingly, the pre-trained model is highly calibrated (its predicted confidence in an answer generally matches the probability of being correct). However, after the post-training process, the calibration is reduced (Figure 8).

I don't understand this argument. Have you tried running a website with an open comment section in the last 10 years? Every corner of the internet is already stuffed with low-qualtity spam. Does it really matter if the spam quality gets better? Search for any combination of 2 words that are not related to each other on Google and you find some bullshit site that just lists random words. Arguably, wouldn't it be better if there actually was AI generated content that combines the 2 words in some meaningful way and maybe, maybe, presents something useful?
It's also not like every information on the internet - even if generated by humans - is correct and fact checked, so you need to do the critical thinking yourself anyway.
Speculative sampling to the rescue - you decode locally with a smaller-LLM, and only check from time to time with a large model, like every few tokens. This guarantees exactly the same quality with a big speedup, as you don't need to predict with the large model each individual token.

I think that is an essential skill. I'm pointing this out because it will become relevant in the next sentence.

> I feel like my technical skills like system design have not progressed

System architecture is about mediating between different levels of abstraction: translating business requirements into technical requirements and getting business stakeholders to talk to technical stakeholders.

An architect's personal competencies matter less than what they can motivate others to accomplish. Can you get business to formulate (and prioritise) the correct requirements, formulate processes properly, understand implementation limitations and manage risks? Can you motivate developers to integrate their workflow into architecture governance, align work according to business priorities, embed their output into the organisation's operational framework and cooperate with you?

Peering with architects will help if you have access to some, otherwise reading up on IT architecture eg [1] or [2].

The loudest voices on HN are the ones most eager to show how “smart” they are. They do that by putting down other people’s work. See also “middlebrow dismissal.”

I’ve had a few articles of mine show up on the front page. They were interesting enough to get a bunch of upvotes, but the people who take the time to comment overwhelmingly 1) didn’t read the article; 2) have a shallow understanding of the topic; and 3) loudly proclaim how bad the idea is / how easily it can be solved with some misconceived alternative.

In short: yeah, in aggregate, HN commenters suck. Including me, I suppose.

I believe the VoLTE toggle's presence is controlled by whether there is any fallback from VoLTE. Apparently a substantial number of carriers don't offer anything other than VoLTE at this point. Turning off VoLTE when you are with an affected carrier is equivalent, at that point, to just turning off calls altogether.
> to me this sounds like a distopian place where anyone that does not align with the "correct worldview"

To me there are basically two sides to this, and I'll outline them with two examples.

One is when people decide to have a debate on whether or not trans women should be allowed in women sports. In this case, banning people who have the "wrong" opinion is sort of dystopian. At least with the decentralized social network, you can't really ban them, just silence them on your particular server, so in a sense it's less dystopian than centralized social media. But I frankly agree with you on this, because it makes having discussions on certain subjects impossible, which isn't great.

The other example is when someone posts pictures of Warhammer models they have painted, and someone starts commenting on their gender, race, religion or whatever that is completely unrelated to the original post. Or when someone is being plain hateful in any context. In those cases, the way I see it is that the hateful person is breaking the social contract in which we all agree to be respectful to each other. Once you break that contract, then it no longer applies to you. This is the way the real world functions, and it's how the internet used to function before the ability to moderate assholes was centralized and sort of removed.
Not to mention it might be much cheaper. Here in the North of England, I paid half that for a simple headshot on white background from a local photographer. I guess in London it would cost more, but then in London half your friends, and most waiters, are photographers...

I read that as well, and either it's unclear or I lack the technical understandings to apply that to my question.

What does "at the baseband level" mean in terms of remote attack vector? Do they need to be physically nearby with an antenna or could they be across the world connecting through VOIP?

And why do they need to know a phone number? If it's that they need a nearby antenna + knowledge of a phone number, it sounds like this vulnerability might not be a big deal, and it would be great if they communicated that clearly. Alternatively, if the vulnerability is accessible from any remote phone connection, knowledge of a phone number wouldn't matter because attackers would spam the attack against millions of numbers.
