I mean the right-wing political parties are pretty open about their desire to keep the status quo economic system which causes wealth the move to the top (and in many cases increase the extent to which it does by doing things like privatising public industries, deregulating industries, etc). And they're obviously a coordinated entity by nature of being a political party.

No conspiracy theories required.
There sure are. I just pasted the readme in the comment box here (so Chrome would check the spelling) and removed the correctly spelled words to leave:

Your original title had "realease" too.
I don’t know about Airbnb. But you realize that before Uber existed, people ran businesses which were entirely, “you call us up, we’ll send you a car and take you where you want to go,” (And that driver was an independent contractor)

I really don’t see the angle that Uber was doing something fundamentally new, except to the extent that they dramatically lowered the price and a lot more people used the service.
Dyslexia is my superpower
The keyboard I'm referring to was small, like htpc use. My desktop uses a full keyboard and I've brought one with me for laptop use before.

And my hands are a little big. Not crazy big though.
Why did Google didn’t create ChatGPT?
It seem to me that Google had plenty of time and the expertise to create something like ChatGPT.
I wonder how could they sleep on that technology for so long, they are now at the fourth generation of TPU, they created TensorFlow that was the leading library of machine learning before PyTorch, they created the transformer architecture, they had all the computing and data.

How could a company with such massive ressource get outdone by a startup, well it seems it always go that way.
A handful of corporations vs the entire population of planet earth, or a nation’s subset, should be pretty obvious where the greater good lies.

That’s irrelevant to the defense, which would probably amount to ‘publishers didn’t suffer any material loss’.
Had to do this recently at a show for a headliner comedian.

I did expose a flaw in their system though: they only bagged one phone (I have a second one for work).
I've often wondered what the old timers dumped in the woods around Boston where the United States started. They weren't only dumping stuff in the oceans. Seems like a radiological and toxilogical survey of the entire USA would be a good idea.
It's a great example of how LLMs can be fine-tuned for specific behaviors. The gain in output quality relative to the expense of tweaking an older, relatively small model is quite impressive. Dolly may not be the Bugatti of LLM chatbots. But it illustrates that high performance is increasingly within reach for the rest of us.

Google is based in the US, so why would it matter whether the EU is one country or many for Google's market capitalisation?
Searched the article and all HN comments for "parents", "kids", "babysitter", etc. No matches.

If you want to be more inclusive, have a sign like, "Tell your cofounder/babysitter than in an actual emergency they can call or text [number] and we'll come get you."
Econtalk is a podcast i keep coming back to. Russ Roberts does a great job bringing on a varied group of people. And his interview style is pretty refreshing. He asks questions like a novice would with “Wait, why is it like that?”.

He had a pro-market view but lets his guests state their views before politely saying “i disagree for this reason”, then moving on.

The 16+ years of archives are great to go back and listen to especially the interviews about the financial crisis of 2008. He talks to some heavy hitters in the finance industry and it’s fascinating to hear their different views.
Time to download my next car
Digital copies of books are available to anyone willing to look for them, free of charge and easily downloadable. I suspect all this ruling has done, if I've understood it correctly, is make it more difficult for people wanting to download or view copies legitimately.

I love the IA. I use it weekly if not daily. My bet is that they'll push back on this and other rulings and will ultimately lobby for saner laws.
Asian restaurants around me that are open Sunday just close on Monday or Tuesday. Very common at least in Atlanta.
When the Republicans don't have the votes to pass a given piece of legislation and a large fraction of the Democrats in the Senate take their side, you can't call it anything else.
How did they do this with $30 only?
That may not be what GP was talking about, but that should be a separate post. I've never seen those lithographs before, and it's like having Picasso explain his work personally, with demonstrations. Amazing. I've never felt like I quite got what Picasso was driving at in any of his work before.
Maybe more like the Library of Alexandria? That said, I get your point.
the thesis is pretty simple:

if any given step in the value chain is increasing their prices beyond what is necessary to cover increases in costs (they are), that additional margin purely for the purpose of wanting more money is, imo, pretty shameless when it's hurting so many people down the line
Please look into responding with empathy and grace instead. You took a chance to educate and threw it away. What would you hope to gain from such an interaction?

I'm sure HN is willing to defer that research to someone like Intel in this case.

Still needs treatment, unless you drink rainwater straight. And you need to collect the rain, not just let it go to runoff. Flash floods are going to damage the infrastructure to collect and purify such water as well.

I don't see how that's a good thing. Global warming means sea level rise which means more people crowded into less space which means more pressure on natural ecosystems and more conflict over less resources. Plus a hotter world means we're using more of that water keeping crops hydrated.

If there's a fine for operating your business on Sunday because Sunday is the Sabbath, then there's a tax on not practicing a religion.
> Why did you frame it as "prevent people from overworking" instead of "prevent people from being overworked"?

I'm sorry I used the wrong words.

> Humans exist for more than just buying things

Yea, duh

> "A day for something in life other than shopping" is an important idea

That's fine. Why does it have to be the _same_ day for everyone? That's the stupid idea. Pass a law that says everyone must be given a full day off every week, I'm with you. Pass a law saying that day _must_ be Sunday, and I'm walking away.

Hell, pass a law that says everyone must be given three full days off every week, I'm with you. Pass a law that says you have to pay someone 3x for every hour they work beyond 30 hours, I'm with you. Pass a law that says everyone must work 9am-3pm and I'm walking away.

> Are you not lamenting the increasing feeling that you can't go out in public without being charged to be somewhere these days?

Irrelevant to the conversation, but generally, no.

> Or the gradual turning of all walks of life into advertising and subscription services?

Irrelevant to the conversation, but yea, it's a hellscape.

> Is any pushback on it "stupid and dumb" to you?

Nope.
For years, phone forensics firms pretty much consistently had non-public exploits that would allow compromising even locked phones. As recently as 2019, Cellebrite publicly claimed that they can attack any iPhone with up to date software: https://www.wired.com/story/cellebrite-ufed-ios-12-iphone-ha...

And those are publicly known capabilities. You should assume that potential adversaries will have more than that. Am I certain that such exploits are known for the very most recent iPhone/iOS? No. But it would still be foolish to bet on them not being known.

Why do the BBC and some other outlets try to use http/80 instead of https/443 for podcasts. Apologies for yet another tangent in this thread but discussion of podcasts, especially technical details, is relatively rare on HN.

The NPVIC could be a great advancement for democracy but since the side advantaged by the current system has zero incentive to agree to it, the idea is counterproductive without a mandate requiring the entire country to participate.
Oh. There were a small number of corner stores that were allowed to be open. I don't know how they decided that. But you could always get the basics on a Sunday.

Gas stations were also allowed to be open although they rarely had convenience stores attached to them back then.
speaking as an über capitalist, clean water is a human right that every single human on earth must have access to.

there is no question about it, just about how to accomplish.
Okay, sure.

Now what about Facebook/Instagram/Twitter? Are the other social media platforms not also capable of/suspectable to propaganda campaigns?
Does it avoid ZP addresses with special purpose for the system when doing this?
I don't understand. What does all this mean? I just asked what you mean by "real-world sensor data". What does Descartes have to do with it?
Not really what happened — they planned to build a cloud platform on top of it and probably subsidize Docker Hub using those profits. But they got their lunch ate by Kubernetes.
Join the Biggest Hour for Earth
Supposedly the recent reduction in employees mostly targeted non-profit areas and several or the managers in charge of this were fired. I guess the befit nowadays after 20 years didn't justify the cost. I doubt you can put a positive spin on it so no reason to go into details?
The same reason compact discs cost way more than cassette tapes when they came out even though they were cheaper to manufacture - people will pay for perceived value not the actual cost.

Its very convenient to use vowifi vs getting a local sim and not receiving calls or SMS on your home number.

Telcos can offer it as they already need the infrastructure to do voice & messages over 4g anyway.
My favorite extreme example of the ways in which water defines society is the Himba people [1] in northern Namibia. They live in one of the driest deserts in the world and water is so scarce that bathing with water is a social faux pas. Instead of bathing they cover their skin with otjize paste made of animal fat and red ochre which acts as a cleanser, protects them from the heat, and repels insects. When they hunt the men gather the liquid they need for the day by digging up tubers similar to cassava that contain a lot of fiber and moisture, while the women herd their livestock around watering holes until the dry season where they make a b-line for areas with high ground water to dig small wells.

Among other adaptations, they hunt not by driving their pray to exhaustion or by using heavy weapons like spears, but by digging up beetle larva infected by parasitic Lebistina larva which produces a very concentrated toxin that they use with very thin bows and arrows to bring down pray (which they have to chase down anyway).

You don't have to buy the buns lol. I remember using sliced bread instead of the buns because it's cheaper if you only use 1 slice to wrap the meat. I still see the $1.99 for a loaf of wonder bread or whatever it's called. That's plenty of slices for plenty of hot dogs lol.
Reflexion: An autonomous agent with dynamic memory and self-reflection
NEL opened in March 2020.

The first doc on this case was filed June 1, 2020.

NEL closed down almost immediately on June 16, 2020.

IA was definitely and stupidly playing with fire here. As others have said, publishers weren't happy with IA's one hardcopy, one digital loan rule, but lived with it because of the potential bad press. However, I'm willing to bet the NEL pushed them over the edge to go to war. Incredibly reckless and now we've taken a step backwards against IP abuse, IMO.
No, that didn't happen last week.

I still don't use 2FA
Ah, yes, this is also why my dictionary should solely tell me how to say words, and never tell me their definitions, since the word diction is predominantly associated with speech and comes from the Latin dictare, which is a conjugation of dicere, which means to speak.

Dictionaries have no business in providing definitions! Their business is diction!
It is a corner stone to AI. The opinion is subjective since we are treading into a new era it is hard to clearly define those lines.
>> I don’t think it’s surprising the model did poorly.

But it did poorly only on the problems it hadn't seen before. Was it prompted differently on one kind of problem, compared to the other?
That seems horrendous. Don't many community/government libraries do this? Seems like a huge blow to freedom of information and sharing.
Ask HN: Why are all LLaMa and Alpaca repo taking down their download links
I noticed that a lot of github projects that related to LLaMa or Alpaca are removing their download links (like llama.cpp and alpaca.cpp). Is there something going on that's accelerating all these take downs?
In humans, though, there's a degree of matching between knowledge of a topic and ability to speak on that topic, which can betray the uninformed. People often speak on a topic too coarsely (in a way that betrays their lack of understanding beyond a headline level), or more often, they try to disguise their ignorance with postdoc-level vocabulary and wordy dissertations that try to overwhelm the listener to cause them to conclude that since they don't understand all the terms being thrown about, the speaker must know something they don't.

But, after you've been exposed to this a few times, you start to get a sense for it. Most people have a "bullshit meter" which gets calibrated over time, and it's remarkably good at sniffing out the people who are out of their depth.

ChatGPT is somewhat different in that its level of command of the English language doesn't change in response to its level of knowledge about the topic it's asked about. It most likely has the most thorough command of the English language of any entity ever born or created; that is exactly and specifically what LLMs are supposed to be good at. Because of that, it can speak "perfectly" no matter the topic; it can be prompted to explain things in "simple terms", but remain eloquent. It doesn't fall back on jargon to mask its ignorance, and it doesn't breeze past important concepts without bothering to explain them. As a result, it communicates exactly like an actual domain expert would - carefully, precisely, and simply. This is wonderful for clear, effective communication, but it completely subverts the bullshit meter.

In some ways, maybe this could be a blessing. Media and marketing organizations have gotten very, very good at sitting in the "happy language zone" as they straight-up lie to our faces. Perhaps just flooding the zone with language which doesn't trip the bullshit meter and still manages to be empirically wrong could cause people to readjust and redevelop the heuristics they use to evaluate the trustworthiness of information.
Yes my comment was very facetious.
I assume the numbers are normalised for the number of buildings, otherwise the comparison would be meaningless.
And absolutely nothing has been done to defend against that by OpenAI. Most of their effort it seems has been preventing it from saying politically incorrect things or making up some flat earth fiction. It'll still happily "hypnotize" people into buying something they don't need or imitate someone they know, because how else is the VC-backed startup "Souul" going to become a unicorn by offering to reserrect the personalities of dead relatives to advertise Tide soap? As far as SV is concerned, scammers and the anti-social aren't evil, just competition.
That isn't arguing the "worse" part. Facebook is also going to support, assist, etc, with US national intelligence services. You can be black-bagged anywhere in the world by the US too, they are pretty famous for how far the arm of US law reaches.
Eat the... moist?
Unless the formatting is somehow very different for pre 2021 problems it is still a strong signal that it is (up to a point) just parroting a solution it had heard somewhere rather than inferring it some way else.

This is neither good nor bad, that will depend on what you want to use the model for.

most business problems require good understanding of the goal and only mid-level technical expertise.

Ive seem more projects fail because requirements weren't understood, often by the customer themselves, than because of tech

I said was. Meaning pre-2012. What year in your opinion did Yahoo jump the shark, as an employer?

(IIRC Yahoo culture had the reputation for being very friendly to employees open-sourcing their code, and not aggressively pursuing BS patent suits; this was different to most of MAANG + telecomms.)
Maybe they already did
Thanks for sharing the code. What happen when the existing content get updated and new contents created, would it need to create embeddings for all contents again? The current approach is not good as create embeddings cost money? Please see https://github.com/mpaepper/content-chatbot/blob/main/create.... Would it be possible progressively update the vector store?

Please advise. Thank you.
If you want neutral go and read Stratfor reporting on the Ukraine-Russia War.

It’s basically fact reporting - who is doing what. It reads like an academic paper. No filtering of what’s covered based on who’s the “good guy”. The conclusion are focused on geopolitical impact - good or bad.
Ironically, the link to the app isn't even working properly, as it just opens app store. I have the app, but it's just unusable since links simply won't open there.
Listing a place a law was broken to advocate for repeating it is not good advice. The proper metric is to see how many times laws are broken and how often that works out for the lawbreaker.

IA is learning the difference, unfortunately.
Where’s the objectivity in letting well financed private power “own” natural resources.

There is no being objective when the conversation starts in such an intentionally spread artificial obligation to consider. Their claims of ownership are not backed by immutable physical evidence but mutable spoken social norms.

Your skepticism alone is insufficient objection to curtail conversation that may rustle Jimmie’s but otherwise does no quantitative damage; it’s not as if mere conversation magically alters the status quo. Rest assured Nestle will be ok tomorrow.
Plenty of famous places are all PR and little substance.

Plus, the difficulty of integrals is not a real metric, but not having come across one that WA can't handle says something.

The rhetorical problem is that it's a sort of inverse of Yossarian's "they're trying to kill me", coordination is often not usefully distinct from a system which incentivizes the same actions that would be achieved through coordination. Some things are very hard to describe without sounding like a conspiracy no matter how little communication happens between actors, precisely because those incentives are a form of communication.
The reason we're being kept around still is that you can solve the problem without it ever appearing in your training set, and once you have, it has.
Code and case summaries couldn't be much different. With code you get compile time validation, run time validation, (hopefully) test validation, and you can generally look at a block of code and say "seems like this should work" or "this makes no sense". You get none of that with facts of a case.
Agreed, but that still wouldn't help with games that have primarily online experiences, because things like server programs and content management systems also need to be archived for those -- and these (almost) never reach the hands of the people.

Sorry to hear you're very much under the weather.

I'll echo what has been said already - you need to find an area to ask, but IMO, not necessarily any speciality place - people tend to, given a hammer, see only nails. [Somewhere anonymous]

More often with weird strange problems, it's been other people, including at times nurses, pharmacists, who've nailed down what the root cause was.

To often disease will affect kidneys, liver or other organs where many similar symptoms result and makes it hard to tease out if they are significant or not.

Possibly your problem could be complex ... or it could be all from one little problem that no one has picked up on.

When I was in the first few months of my worst chronic problem, and I by pure chance happened to phone on some incidental matter, a guy who'd been bed ridden for near 20 years continuously and just been diagnosed and not long returned with a new lease on life - but his own family had for many years prior, regarded him a lay about, lazy and a bunch of not so pleasant terms, as doctors had told him it's in his head (disclaimer Aussie GP docs here, one can often get way more attention span from a child with pronounced ADHA - well my experience of them up in the Northern regions.) Turned out to be simple, 20 years he'd had a very resistant infection from the tube that drained the kidneys, and I guess usual testing didn't reveal it, but being what it was though the cure was a hospital stay while they pumped the adequate amount of drugs to kill it off properly.
