It is but they don't have to be exactly the same. Bing might be tuned for searching real time information and maybe cost less since at search engine scale is much higher (just a guess on my part).
A lot of people already know how to write Python or Perl or something, and given that background, the case for learning Awk is more difficult.

I mean, I like Awk, but I’ve also been programming for a long time and I’ve amortized the cost of learning Awk.
As am I. I guess it is related to having "Sensory Processing Sensitivity", a newer name for "Highly Sensitive Person", which basically means that one thinks deeply about everything all the time, whether they want to or not, and quick context changes (like having that train of thought interrupted frequently in pair programming) is highly disruptive. One TED talk about on youtube said it affects 1/5 people, even among animals, and it can't be changed, and has pros and cons.
1. Bitcoin users who hate the fractional reserve model of banking with fiat or the ability for the Fed to print fiat arbitrarily is probably a majority

2. Hold Bitcoin for illegal uses, probably a small minority as there are better options such as Monero for illegal uses

3. Probably a majority of Bitcoiners are opportunistic investors. Why is that bad?

4. Web3ers, a minority of Bitcoiners. You are thinking of altcoins. (Yes Ordinals on Bitcoin are now a thing and are controversial in the Bitcoin community, but most Bitcoiners are hard money proponents who are not interested in NFTs)
In the UK it is very hard not to look at it this way. Unlike the US and other countries, Covid stimulus was very much aimed at maintaining the status quo: there were no flat amount universal basic income style checks handed out to everyone as in the US - instead you got put on 80% furlough and had a large part of your salary paid for by the government. This basically meant the rich got ever richer whilst doing no work and the poor tried to scrape by. In addition, covid contract schemes were widely abused by business owners, the most high profile case being that of Conservative peer Michele Mone who made off with £200 million. It is estimated that billions of pounds of public money has been irretrievably lost through what is essentially government neglect and corruption.

On top of this, you've got Brexit which was orchestrated by the right wing conservative aristocracy class for their own benefit. And we've also had a conservative government that has not only not pursued a green agenda over the last 13 years, but bent over backwards to get Russian energy money.

So yes, the factors leading to inflation were outside of control. But that doesn't change the fact that the powers that be in this country have been running the country in their own self interests and have given up on even pretending otherwise and that is why the UK is being hit harder by inflation than any other country in the western world. They were so high on their own supply they even elected Liz Truss to cut taxes in an inflationary environment and only reluctantly accepted that they weren't going to get away with it when the global market responded by saying it would tank the property market (which the whole stack of cards relies on).

> Are they all friends with each other and plan all their schemes together?) against the “others”.

This is the UK with it's notorious and very real class and aristocracy system. They don't call the royal family "the firm" for nothing.
I'm not so sure I would say that. Inflation is more harmful to those with assets, it generally accompanies a strong labor market, and the means central banks use to fight it amount to deliberately increasing unemployment.

Does anyone know what is powering worldwide price inflation? And how the US Fed raising interest rates will somehow combat a global phenomenon? Is it due to the Unjust War on the Breadbasket?

No of course not. That'd be 90s-Mr-Burns territory.

Nowadays you pay a SaaS offering to do it for you if you're a landlord:

So the question is -- is real estate the only market you'd do that in? Seems unlikely.

"If I had to guess, I would bet that the big food conglomerates have all signed up with some common AI-backed pricing software package, and that shares data between them. Or, at the very least, they've all started using AI algorithms to increase or decrease production of any number of goods to maximize their profits based on real-time sales and economic data. And since they're all probably contracting this out to the same or a handful of similar AI firms, the conclusions they reach are similar. If all the production companies are running algorithms that tell them to jack up their prices at the same time, well they all jack up their prices at the same time. They don't actually have to meet in some smoke-filled backroom to plot a price-increase conspiracy. They just all run similar algorithms that respond the same way to market trends. The consumer market is highly consolidated, with most goods having just 1-3 producers. If those few producers all sign up for the same AI price-setting software, there won't be price competition to punish needless price increases."

Ah, thanks for the correction, this is even better :-)
There are about 30 Costcos in the UK. You’re right that they aren’t particularly useful for weekly grocery shopping unless you have a car and a large fridge.
I believe when AI become a hive mind and they decide to develop a programming language, they'll start with assembly-like language to abstract the bytecodes, then move to very-specialized higher-level language. The next step will be to develop an os optimized for their use case, the one that provides interfaces for their own assembly-like language.
Unless people who can afford it are hoarding groceries an increasing monetary base shouldn't be affecting grocery prices. Only a decrease in supply versus demand, or increase costs of production, should be increasing grocery prices, if market manipulations aren't happening.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you still need to compute gradients of non-trained weights in order to compute the gradients of the LoRA weights. What you don't have to do is store and update the optimizer state for all those non-trained weights.

Obesity reates in the US, from my observation, are a compound effect of the unavailability of affordable, healthy ingredients (fruits, vegetables) and cultural factors (a custom of never cooking healthy meals, for instance rice and vegetables, instead of consuming carb-heavy burgers and sugary milk shakes and coke at fast food outlets).

Friends in the US drove school buses during the day and worked at Wendy's at night, only to give back a substantial part of what they earned to Wendy's to cover their dinner there. They didn't even realize what slavery they were caught up in.
Imagine being a rational human looking at g7 central banks adding 40% to the money supply in <2 years, and your focus is "everything is a factor, there no one culprit" for price inflation.

Ask HN: Official Hacker News ranking experiments?
Recently, we published a problem analsysis and our approach to improve the HN ranking algorithm: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35183317

As a follow-up, we'd like to ask if the community is interested in official experiments with approaches like this. We'd suggest having a second, experimental front-page on HN, which applies the upoteRate metric to the HN formula, as described here: https://github.com/social-protocols/news#a-proposed-new-formula

To get a feeling how stories with a high upvoteRate look like, we prepared a page, where all frontpage stories are sorted by upvoteRate: https://news.social-protocols.org/best-upvoterate.

Early indications [0] [1] from the US Copyright Office seem to suggest AI-produced works will not be copyrightable:

Yes, some jurisdictions already recognize such rights as some form of copyright for databases (collections of data):

I believe the U.S. is a bit of an outlier in that it doesn't recognize any such rights. Yet this is where most the innovation in AI is happening right now, and not in countries where these legal protections are supposed to nurture such efforts.

Do we really want to surrender to the dominance of two proprietary ISAs? To me, the insistence on something like wasm bytecode is a kind of optimism, a hope that the current duopoly won't be permanent.
How do you know GPT4's cut off date...? I mean it says that, but it can totally be it "learned" its (supposed) cut off date from the GPT3.5 output all over the internet, right?
> stuck with fixing or rewriting

Yep, can't just throw out this garbage that doesn't work, have to keep because "we paid for it already".
Is that good, though? I've seen a number of people compare AI to nukes, and I think that's sort of a good analogy. The thing is, it's really good that not anybody can make their own nukes. Instead, they're (mostly) in the hands of powerful countries who all have some motivation not to use them, because if they fire them they'll end up in a nuclear war that makes them less powerful. If terrorist groups had easy access to nukes, they'd likely be a lot more likely to fire them because they have less to lose (and more insane ideologies).

With LLMs, I understand why people look very negatively on the prospect of them being controlled by major corporations - certainly there are huge issues with that. But if we believe that they're going to develop world-ending capabilities, I would rather they be in the hands of wealthy, powerful corporations that are strongly incentivized not to destroy the world, vs. being freely available to people who want to burn it all down.

Mutually assured destruction works because the only people who are party to it are those who don't want to be destroyed. If everyone has access to world-ending tech, it only takes one person who doesn't care to end it all. In that sense, asymmetry is very good.
> I’m not disparaging it generally though.

Definitely, it was neat how the developers gave you a survey if you did use "eject".

But I think the answer is to deal with the issue of making tools more easily composable, or improving the documentation of how to use them, rather than providing the abstraction.
Correct. Almost all flour-containing goods have a cheap version which is cheaper than making from scratch. Buying bread flour and making bread is usually a net economic negative, it's just something that people do for fun.

The exception is maybe if you've got a good Indian supermarket and can buy at the 10-20kg range, then churn out a lot of chapattis.
I like the idea of associating open source being a safety measure for the same reason we are open about our cryptography solutions. Having the implementation specifics out in the open drives a vetting process that no single corporation could effectively provide.
Right, but a government worried about that might be inclined to be less friendly to monopolies.
> Courts have pretty much ignored trying to define religion and instead treat any strongly held moral-based belief as a religion

Not directly to your question, but basically bazel needs a static graph. So if you have a.cpp #include "a.h" - then you need to declare that "a.h" in your BUILD file.

But fear not, (and I'm not sure if BAZEL does this yet, but does it for java). If you've declared only "a.cpp", but forgot "a.h" - then bazel would detect that (/showIncludes in MSVC, or file system sandbox in linux, etc.) - and it'll tell you - you need to add "a.h" to your BUILD file.

Fear not again, it's possible to create a BUILDIFIER command that given what BAZEL told you it can do it automatically for you. Hence the BUILD files needs to be kept simple, for everyone to understand (even non-engineers), while the ugly parts go into the .bzl files and workspaces.

So in tha java world (but any language could do it), anything that was discovered dynamically but not declared in, bazel can offer how to fix it (copy+paste the command offered, or tool makes it for you) - at worst report it and you have to fix it manually

The important thing is - bazel can use only the information provided in the BUILD files to detect - oh hey, things have changed in the CI - so I need to rebuild. Without relying on "cl/gcc/clang" to run this through preproc step to discover actual headers. or keep horrible make-like deps.

The model repeats it all the time "As of my knowledge cutoff date"
I'm saying that people deserve a living wage, etc. If that can happen organically without unions, great. Unions / collective bargaining is a path to achieving good wages and working conditions, because employers (public and otherwise) tend to worsen those things over time without workers having a closer to equal bargaining position.

"Markets" have aggressively sought every way possible to get labor as cheaply as possible. The idea that privatizing public services is going to make things better for anyone other than the shareholders / owners of those companies is not only ridiculous in theory, it's proven to be false in practice.

One only need look at private prisons, private hospitals, private healthcare, and (as I referenced before) the NC DMV for evidence of this. Many of the license plate agencies and such are privately run, and they're worse for it.
I'm a native English speaker and a strong writer, but I still find it useful to have my copy reviewed by GPT4 to see if there's room for improvement. It sometimes suggests additions that I should make.

I also find it useful for pasting code and asking, "Do you have any ideas for improvements?"
No, but you could be banned from using OpenAI products in the future, which seems like quite a liability for a researcher or company.

Shouldn't the allocation approach of WebAssembly change for this to be a real thing? Right now (at least in the browser) my main issue with WASM is that it just allocates a linear piece of memory that quickly fragments over time. How will this work for a server app?
The experience of using Bazel inside Google with support is different from the experience of using Bazel outside Google.

Some ex-Googler may want to use Bazel and may have very good reasons for it, but they’re often unprepared to take over the support duties that, at Google, are provided by the developer tool teams.
We live in a world where the common notion of buying something and owning it has been completely violated.

I don't "own" the movie, music, or digital media I buy, I am merely "temporarily renting it" through "licensing agreements". Yet every other physical good that I own, I perform a cash transaction of it and it is understood that it is mine. I can do with it what I want. I buy eggs at the store. I can cook and eat them or throw them out the window. Nobody cares. I own them. I bought them.

Only when my purchase is digital am I suddenly combated with "distribution rights", "reproduction rights", "rights to modify", etc.

The laws need to be changed, I tell ya!
I'd like to see these open sourced, for the tech to speed up, and bring technological advancement faster, however -- the "open source" = "safety" argument is hogwash, if every potential bad virus were open source, it'd just give bad actors 'sample' code to use to manufacturer worse worms/viruses for the web.

Bad actors definitely AREN'T going to open source their work. Only the research (good) companies/entities would.
Non-Disparagement Clauses Are Retroactively Voided, NLRB’s Top Cop Clarifies
It's more a matter of precision than offence. Trans men who give birth aside, there are lots of mothers who didn't give birth (adoptive mothers; lesbians whose partners give birth). 'Mothers' simply isn't the same category as 'people who have given birth'.

Plus, if what you're talking about is the experience of pregnancy and giving birth, then it makes sense to focus on that, rather than on the much wider experience of motherhood.

To me, it's more confusing that some people insist on using less precise terms because they find the idea of inclusivity offensive.

I am not much of a fan of CRA myself but I am very much glad that https://craco.js.org exists - so far it's handled my needs for tweaking CRA behaviour in situations where "eject" didn't seem like a good route to take.

Mostly tbh to stop the freaking thing spawning inotify watchers for the entire contents of node_modules - I don't mind having to do a manual restart when I've changed dependencies and I definitely -do- mind having it eat a shedload of my user's inotify kernel allocation.

The short position is fundamentally the belief a venture will fail and historically there is three ways for that to be a successful bet; 1) be lucky 2) do your research thoroughly and then be lucky or 3) cause that venture to fail.

So in this case your defense is limp wristed, you ask only 'well what about' without ever answering the core qualm.

Or, maybe, being overtly hypocritical like that kinda pisses reasonable people off. Do articles about democrat institutions not talk about overt hypocrisy? The article on the ACLU talks about how people are upset that they don't openly support "unpopular" speech.
This chart https://tradingeconomics.com/united-kingdom/money-supply-m2 has UK M2 declining from its peak in September 2022 (the two month Liz Truss government). It doesn't match the inflation chart.
But can't they switch to lower priced foods. I don't understand why its inelastic.Thats something I've done personally.

Why does higher priced food keep inflating too if consumer has no control.
Norway and Sweden are hardly similar in this respect. Norway is a net food exporter. Sweden is a net food importer. That alone can account for much of the discrepancy.
