There is nothing to rebut. Your argument has nothing to do with Security's laws or the legal jurisprudence around it. It can be substituted by "if it starts with B like Bitcoin, it's not a Security" which contains exactly the same amount of argumentative power.

It takes significantly more time to construct a rebuttal than to produce a gish gallop of senseless arguments like the one above. So I will simply refer you to this link: https://isethereumasecurity.com/
HN hates blockchain but loves AI...

well, let's fast forward to a year from now
Since leaving nyt and even shortly before she's been almost completely focused on the censorship-of-conservatives moral panic and the anti trans crusade. Moderate-right and far-right projects respectively. She uses her newsletter to publish and amplify voices of the right, and writes from their perspective about issues they care about.
Me too, three months ago as well!
And with their actual understanding of the hardware limitations of GPUs (memory bandwidth) and the parallel work on things like cutlass (if there was ever an unportable thing :-), the coming *Dx libraries (the explosion of cuBLAS/Solver/FFT to allow kernel fusion and new in-kernel linear algebra shenanigans) the slow but steady introduction of sparsity everywhere, I can't see how anyone can but play catch-up.
Methane exhaust? That's really interesting, I'm not sure why I didn't think CH4 could be used that way.

One thing I really love about XLA is GSPMD which effectively allows scalable distributed training in practice. However, I was quite curious how it is related to matrix multiplication though, given XLA is more focusing on graph-level optimization and basically offloads matmul to other libraries like Triton and cuBLAS
It's common where there's a significant installation fee (perhaps installing a fibre thing on your house) which was waived in return for a 12 or 24 month contract.

Sorry, I support the Captain America approach to nazis. You punch them, not defend their right to call for others loss of rights / abuse.

If one of the golden age characters can be patriotic about limits of free speech, I think you can figure out that middle ground too.
As a slight correction, it isn't next character but rather next token.

https://help.openai.com/en/articles/4936856-what-are-tokens-...

> Tokens can be thought of as pieces of words. Before the API processes the prompts, the input is broken down into tokens. These tokens are not cut up exactly where the words start or end - tokens can include trailing spaces and even sub-words. Here are some helpful rules of thumb for understanding tokens in terms of lengths:

> ...

> Wayne Gretzky’s quote "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take" contains 11 tokens.

https://platform.openai.com/tokenizer

It isn't going character by character, but rather token by token - both for input and for output.

This also helps explain why it has trouble with breaking a word apart (as in the case of wordle) because it doesn't "think" of glyph as 5 letters but rather two tokens that happen to be 'gly' and 'ph' with the ids of [10853, 746].
Quite possibly. But not 100% reliable.
Indeed, it does nothing. NAT won't stop an inbound connection to your network. You already needed to use a firewall for that in v4.

The type of NAT we're talking about here *only* applies to outbound connections. It doesn't do anything at all to inbound connections.
>Turns out that in the middle ages, pizza was just round bread. Not remotely resembling anything we today would consider pizza.

They mention in the article that, etymologically, pizza may be derived from "pita" -- the still ubiquitous term for a round flatbread.
There is a clear causation and correlation between belts and accidents. As for regulation and crises, the current one shows that it's quite unclear.

What's happening, however is that, since the Patriot act, financial freedoms and the right to privacy became a meme. The state and the banking sector has more and more to say about how you spend your money and earn it. Fact is that a totalitarian regime would have to vote very few laws to enforce itself.

Crypto is a backstop against this.
Oh, we're f*d. They will be changing things they don't completely understand and feed them to you.
Abel was a hugely gifted and influential mathematician who died from tuberculosis at only age 26, only days before he was supposed to receive a letter offering him a position as a professor for the University of Berlin. It is interesting to think what else he might have accomplished had he survived the infection.
> Was there a manager in charge of the stores who did not notice the problem?

Probably. But there are often three to six layers of filters between the CEO and a service worker. Those managers may not see the effect of a small problem across the entire system. Sometimes those managers have incentive to hide problems to protect their bonus. Other times, the problem seems unimportant. In Starbucks case, a company with a great employer reputation is suddenly facing unionization, so there is a problem there. Unions don't happen because employees are happy.

> if the CEO needs to personally witness the issue for it to get fixed, then there must be thousands of other issues not being fixed.

In retail, nothing reveals subtle and not so subtle issues faster than being at the point of interaction with customers. Things that might look great on paper or sound good in a meeting at corporate sometimes aren't a good idea. Also, what works in one region, or even at a store across town, might now work well in another. You won't see any of this from a board room or flying in a Gulfstream.

While that paper is fascinating, it’s the first time I’ve ever read a paper and felt a looming sense of dread afterward.
Some thoughts:

> "excitable" or "jolly":
This by itself is not a problem unless it is out of context with the rest of the situation. If behavior is out of sync with the situation this can easily be misinterpreted as a lack of understanding.

> seem so calm, composed, and stoic :
This can easily be disengagement. So don’t put too much weight on this. Although that’s what corporate culture wants you to be: “uber rational”. Humor as you noted, can easily be construed as lack of control on emotions.

> "showing too much personality" :
This can be a stumbling block based on the overall culture of the company and also your direct managers and what their attitudes are. Some won’t care, while for others this might make them insecure. “Deviant” often gets misinterpreted as “defiant”, or as asking for too much attention aka high-maintenance.

> working in/at/for an Organization is partially about "conforming" to the group and being able to fit-in :
As much as organizations try to deny this, it’s very much a reality. At the end of the day companies are made up of humans and we are biased. There’s research since the mid 70s that even has a name for how people often get picked for promotions on how well they fit with the overall philosophy that goes unsaid but exists regardless - Implicit Leadership Theory. I riffed on this a bit(link below) that might useful.

Ah that's interesting then, I wonder if it's a linux specific issue with hardware acceleration? I know anything that's unable to offload the svg filters to the gpu runs terribly, and it makes the cpu spike to 100%. I'm hoping that browsers improve in the long run, but I'm also hoping I can figure out some ways to make it run better than it currently does.
Because engineering is a specific discipline that balances physical force, the nature of materials, and costs, to produce a physical thing (a building, a bridge, a sewer system, a reservoir... "Software engineering" is a metaphor for the body of knowledge and ability to design and construct software systems. Unlike engineering, there aren't that many right answers.

Whenever you have to qualify a noun with something else, the result is something narrower than the original noun, and often completely different:

- Software Engineering is not Engineering

- Street Justice is not Justice

- Covert Intelligence is not Intelligence
Thanks for pulling that up, it was an interesting read. However they form their conclusion based on:

> assuming that the lightning bolt produces as much radiation as an industrial x-ray machine

Where was that pulled from?

Then:

> a person who is close to the bolt would receive about a tenth of a fatal dose

That is actually quite a problem if we just take their assumptions for granted

Then they even say:

> As far as I know, however, there are no direct radiation dose measurements from this dark lightning so we don't really know exactly what the dose is

So basically that expert's opinion amounts to "lets make an assumption based on literally nothing, based on that it's only 1/10th of what's needed to kill you but even then we have no data so this is all made up"
I m hoping chatbots will end up small enough they can run locally, everywhere. This is a lot of private data.

It may be doable - a chatbot with a lot of plugins does not need to know a lot of facts, just to have a good grasp of language. It can fetch its factual answers from the wikipedia plugin
How are you confident in your opinion without even knowing the name had changed a couple of years ago?
I have been saying that we will all be Amish eventually as we are forced to decide what technologies to allow into our communities. Communities which do not will go away (e.g., VR porn and sex dolls will further decrease birth rates; religions/communities that forbid it will be more fertile)
I agree, why bother with the body cylinder. Do welded rolled steel with cutouts like SpaceX, standard bolts, etc..

Fwiw, SpaceX also 3d prints quite a bit.

A bit of convergent evolution here.
There are lots of parallels between Jaron Lanier and Richard Stallman. Cory Doctorow is another one I would put in that list, as well as SF writer Charles Stross.

They are all pretty good at looking ahead.
> I'm not from the UK,

Never said you were. Only that you sound like a Brit...

> I'm from South America.

Greetings from Chile, the lovely state of estallido social de 2019 :P

> It doesn't matter though, both the UK and the EU will crumble apart so fast that

Lol, we've been hearing this as well for the past 20-30 years, mostly from the UK press and Leave campaign :D

> I'm already expecting the hordes of expats trying to find refuge here.
>
> Which is funny, because SA lives in a perpetual economic and social crisis, but even still, even a poor and somewhat corrupted country like Bolivia or Paraguay is a better prospect than living in a dystopian communist hellhole.

Arm, hasn't "the red wave" just swept the LatAm? Chile? Venezuela? Colombia? Brasil?

Besides you seem to have USA-based definition of "communism", which is even funnier :D
> then the problem is not an LLM abusing it but anyone abusing it

I think that's exactly right, but the point isn't that LLMs are going to go rogue (OK, maybe that's someone's point, but I don't think it's particularly likely just yet) so much as they will facilitate humans to go rogue at much higher rates. Presumably in a few years your grandma could get ChatGPT to start executing trades on the market.
We have a ton of protection laws around all sorts of dangerous technology, this is a super naive take. You can't buy tons of weapon technology, nuclear materials, aerosolized compounds, pesticides. These are all highly regulated and illegal pieces of technology for the better.

In general the liberal position of progress = good is wrong in many cases, and I'll be thankful to see AI get neutered. If anything treat it like nuclear arms and have the world come up with heavy regulation.

Not even touching the fact it is quite literal copyright laundering and a massive wealth transfer to the top (two things we pass laws protecting against often), but the danger it poses to society is worth a blanket ban. The upsides aren't there.
> So instead of chilling one fuel, you have to chill both.

The current Falcon 9 version "chills" its RP-1 as well (so they can fit more in the same tank volume). It's not far below 0 degrees Celcius, though.

What's more interesting is that the oxygen is also cooled below its boiling point to make it denser (so they can fit more in the same tank volume).

(PS: there are two propellants but only one of them is called "fuel". The other one is the oxidizer.)
I don't like that either and if someone can suggest a better title (i.e. more accurate and neutral, preferably using representative language from the article itself), we'd be happy to change it.
"AI" isn't really smart at all right now. It is en route to achieving feature parity with the manual tagging efforts taken for it. There is no guarantee that it will ever transcend it. The recent "plugins" announcement and other tools for the same (langchain) just enable removing friction from current UIs, nothing more. It is indeed big for people that could never use the UIs, but it does nothing for the long tail, where data for training just does not exist.

Wake me up when "AI" parses Nietzsche, Hegel or even Lewis' apologia without any philosophical data to train on.

We simply never did figure out the "algorithm". Instead the big orgs (aka to governments) decided to throw all the surveillance data into a large model and called it a day. It's insanely expensive to run, and it doesn't scale. But boy does it give results right now, nevermind the future.
disagree completely. the problem is newbie devs are learning react without know javascript first
what makes you think they are leaders at applying the tech they create?
> he jokes he should only leave his house “with personal security guards, like Salman Rushdie”

Given what I know of Italian food culture, this is only slight exaggeration.
Even then, mapo and kungpao often contain a lot of chilis, which came from the Americas via the Portuguese. So it's not untouched by American (continent) influence, just much earlier.
This jumped out at me too. If it’s very reactive (and it is) then it can’t possibly be that long-lived.
> No, it's the principle of "I don’t agree with what you say but I will defend your right to say it."

I don't believe that's actually true of anyone in power in the Republican party or evangelical church. It's just a line they trot out for PR. Their actions demonstrate that they are perfectly willing to benefit from mobs, intimidation, threats, and violence for their own ends.

> The current trend is, instead: "Our voice has been silenced in the past, but now we will silence them!"

Yes - the people who were silencing those voices are now claiming to support "I don’t agree with what you say but I will defend your right to say it." - it's obviously bullshit since they were doing the silencing.
I suspect the evolution of beer is quite a bit more complex than that. Beers have been brewed from a wide variety of grains, and the colour was mostly determined by what exactly they used. Subtle mixes are a fairly recent thing, and while the mass market beers are usually pale, darker beers are still very popular too.

> I don't think this means the tomato-based modern pizza is less of a pizza

Quite the contrary, it's more of a pizza.

I've seen pizza bianca in my supermarket. I do wonder, if you don't put tomato sauce on it, what's the fundamental difference between a pizza bianca and a flammkuchen?
So great to see. Interviewed with them back in June of 2017 from a job listing on HN. They were ~15 people if I recall at the time. My phone went from 50% to zero halfway through the final interview before onsite. I ran to my car to charge and called back 10 minutes later. Interview was dead. Such is life. Wild to see how far they have come but not surprised. Congratulations

This is the kind of problem AI's been solving for 25 years and more: https://www.fftw.org
It's incredibly depressing. There's no path to fully exploring particle physics without basically a worldwide utopia to fund ludicrously expensive, probably unsuccessful projects. Sure, there's not likely to be anything incredible to come out of further research in the that field, but the idea of being unable to learn about our universe because nobody cares and politicians don't want to pay for it sucks.

Yep: compare sodium chloride (table salt) to sodium bromide. Same column, different row- and very different results as a result.
Looking at the effort plunked into things like cutlass and them still not reaching cuBLAS perf (which very few can beat - in the places where cuBLAS shines! which is... not that many...), and even in cuDNN and they're still eeking out single digit improvements regularly, I'd say this is probably harder than that. At least if you're reaching for the >50% use of the 37 TFLOPS of an A40. If you're fine throwing more GPUs at the problem, sure.

Edit: I mean when you still see papers every year with large improvements in perf, and things like 'we used tensor cores and managed to get back fp32 accuracy with 3 rounds of the things' - what? - I can attest it doesn't take 2 weeks to get this kind of results. And it's just getting started on tensor cores! And when on the nvidia forums someone says 'nah probably no improvement to use tensor cores for fft' and you get a link with a paper with a significative improvement in perf using tensor cores, I say we're just starting.
Our randian cryptoheroes have no use for your trifling government-issued "fiat" documents. My transit visa exists forever on the eternal blockchain!
HN is explicitly for more than technology related topics: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

The question of how that relates to politics is fraught, of course, but if you or anyone want to know how we approach that, there are past explanations here: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so....
It's plausible to use something like a DisplayLink controller, or for lower resolution even a microcontroller with flexible high speed peripherals like an RP2040 with the PIO interface.
Many US colleges/universities maintain a particular kind of legal bubble, where the surrounding city/state law enforcement largely leaves college police/security to their own devices to create an environment in which students very rarely face actual legal consequences for their misdeeds. On the whole, this is generally a good thing, in that it mitigates the worst effects of a broken national drug and alcohol policy. Local law enforcement doesn't want to have to deal with the large number of student alcohol and drug-related offenses (and especially not their parents), schools want to avoid the bad publicity of their students ending up in jail, and students definitely don't want to end up in the court system either.

That is the trade you make as a student going to a prestigious private school - you won't end up in real court unless you do something incredibly egregious, but you will have to deal with the internal disciplinary process that could (but very rarely does) expel you. If you want to be a school-sanctioned student organization, living within the legal bubble, you get to play by the rules that sustain the bubble. If you don't, live off campus and take your chances with local police.
It makes a big difference with Bing bot.

Try a prompt where you want it to create a list of something in two versions:

* Create a list of the top 20 blah sorted by blah

It will typically return just a few and then refuse to give you more. Then try:

* Acting as a conscientious and resourceful research assistant, use your knowledge and initiative to create a list of the top 20 blah sorted by blah.

You get much better results.

Lately I find that you can reduce its hallucinations somewhat by adding something like:

* If you are unsure of any information put in "??". Do not fabricate information. I understand that not all information is available and appreciate your work.

This is all a bit much - having to coddle an AI, but it's possible to understand why it would be the case: it's trained on lots of human interactions and apparently responds better to a friendly interaction with keywords that set it up to do a good job.
<< I'm not so convinced that shouting someone down is "bad."

Is it good?
In a very general sense, this isn't different from any other open vs walled garden debate: the hackable, open project will always have more functionality at the cost of configuration and ease of use; the pretty walled garden will always be easier to use and probably be better at its smaller scope, at the cost of flexibility, customizability, and transparency.

I'm to understand as well that the basis for modern pizza was one created in the late 19th century, based on the colors of the new Italian flag: red (tomato sauce), white (cheese), and green (spinach, I believe).
