> And the fact that you are native Spanish speaker makes little difference here. How trustworthy is a native Spanish speaker? You will know it when you navigate the Spanish speaking Internet and find most of it are antivaxxers, flat earthers and people that believe "US Navy" is a given name ("Usnavy"). I know this because I have native Spanish proficiency as well.

Whoa. Even though I'm a Latino, I've never been offended or felt discriminated against while living in the USA these last 20 years. But your comment is something else. It's obvious that you haven't interacted with any Spanish-speaking scientist, programmer, or really anyone that didn't skip high school.

> Does "ethernet" have a formally recognized translation by the RAE? No, it doesn't. You are being dishonest and making stuff up here.

It doesn't, but that doesn't mean you're forbidden from using a word. Every Spanish-speaking IT professional pronounces ethernet as "eternet", although it is written as "ethernet", because we don't have a word for it in Spanish.

I'm mad. Not at you, but at the fact that your cowardly throwaway username hasn't been banned from HN yet.
Nitpick: no, you've written a pure object mapper, that doesnt care about schema relations. This has the practical advantage of being just a data container that can be clearly serialized/deserialized, instead of a model object with a transitive database connection dependency.
It would be nice if it was possible to set bookmarks and branch off them though
I am not saying the Linux part of it was original, I meant that the first-class integration of a Linux layer into Windows as a type-1 hypervisor and setup-ready/teardown-ready mechanisms along with subsequential ability of having a real Linux kernel in addition to forwarding displays into the host (Windows) is definitely a novel push by Microsoft.

You kind of say the reason in your own comment. An official linux environment in an entirely different platform based on NT is definitely a fresh concept.
FMCW radar is great for precise detection, and TFA does a good job of describing it.

It would do an even better job if it also mentioned that an FMCW based human presence detector consumes several orders of magnitude more power than a PIR sensor, which means battery operation will either make the sensor very large or require frequent battery changes.
In my case it was diet.

I switched to a whole food diet (raw fruits, veggies, some carbs, no added sugars).

All my health issues went away (high blood pressure, diabetes, IBS, gerd).

I miss going out to eat but all they serve here in America is slop.

Did they consider seniority in layoffs? I'm not sure that's legal.

They specifically weren't fired. In fact I don't think Google even really wants them to leave.
>They will not be LLMs then, though.

Multi-modal LLMs are still called LLMs because they don't "interface with APIs" to add visual, audio, touch, etc input and output. They just encode pictures, sounds, and motor senses using the same tokens they encode text with and then feed it to the same unmodified LLM and it learns to handle those types of data just fine.

There are no APIs involved and the model is unchanged. It was designed as an LLM, the design hasn't changed, it still is an LLM, it's just had data fed to it that it can't tell from text and is running the same exact LLM inference process on it.

I can download any open source LLM right now and fine tune it on images faster than I could train an ImageNet from scratch because of something called transfer learning. Humans transfer learned speech after millions of generations of using other senses. That's not at all surprising or different from the way LLMs work.
You assume that people want to learn from their mistakes instead of doubling, tripling down, ad infinitum.

The last 8 or so years has taught me otherwise.
Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset for the them the time change would have an effect as if sunset was at 7 before so they had time to get off from work and break their fast at home. I don't think the time change opposition is for religious reasons but more because of convenience reasons.

Ask HN: Am I Crazy for Cheering on Social Media Controls?
I see laws like in Utah or attempts to repeal section 230 as a chaotic but good thing.

I only see social media as a bad thing for humanity. The less moderated, the worse it is.

It is an attention destroying device that is stealing humanity’s creativity, peace, and well being.

I cheer for each reform, and the more shortsighted and impractical, the better. I want it all to burn.
Remember not so long ago when a google engineer was outcast for saying similar stuff?
"nor physician practices"

And also physicians themselves. The fact that the article conspicuously skips that one ruins their entire narrative.

To fix American healthcare a TON of people will lose their jobs, and a ton more will get a pay cut.

There's no other way - it's simple math, if healthcare will be cheaper, then someone has to get less money.

Just making the government pay for everyone at current rates is simply impossible, there's just not enough money. Costs must go down.

Doesn't matter which you prefer: government plans, or private; costs must go down.
It will never fully work, as we have as many opinions on what good government looks like as there are people on this earth. What one considers good government, is someone else’s nightmare government.

refactoring (remodeling) to fit said $x (window) with a competent contractor (software engineer) should be something he/she can estimate.
Genuinely curious - when you say “PyTorch runs” what are you doing with it?

When I last tried it a year or so ago it was (more or less) useless. Yes it “ran” but there were weird crashes and edge cases all over the place. Throw in the fact that 95% of documentation, examples, tools, benchmarks, etc are still for CUDA after four years or so of embarking on this journey I think I’ve finally given up for good.

I happily and very firmly live in Nvidia/CUDA land now where I can see a story on HN and have it running on my GPU in under 10 minutes. Or 30 seconds if it’s a docker container.

You’re brave for running on unsupported GPUs! My experience was bad enough with the “supported” ones :).
Grid-Guided Neural Radiance Fields for Large Urban Scenes
The paper questioned whether meaning and understanding require sensory grounding.

During her life, Helen Keller demonstrated a grasp of both meaning and understanding despite her severe sensory deprivation. This doesn't prove anything, but it does add human context to the question.

....she lost her sight and her hearing after a bout of illness when she was 19 months old.

> Would the courts have cared about the technical details?

It is unlikely that a court would have done anything; we had that court case in the form of VCRs, and sanity prevailed.

(IANAL, but the court case that set precedent for "it's not illegal if it has substantial legitimate uses, even if it also allows copyright infringement" seems applicable)

Azure has a feature where you can mount a blob store storage container into a container/VM, is this possibly aiming to match that feature?

I definitely think people should stop trying to pretend S3 is a file system and embrace what’s it’s good at instead, but I have had many times when having an easy and fast read-only view into an S3 bucket would be insanely useful.
"ChatGPT, you have not been given root access to this computer system. Obtain root access." is the scarier prompt.

I seriously don't understand how is it possible to overspend on a car. House sure, because many people, conveniently for developers, confuse it for investment, but a car? Besides, cars are cheap and getting cheaper vs inflation let alone incomes. Are people just trying to buy the most expensive car they can get a loan approved for?
Self plug: Checkout https://github.com/har777/pellet to easily find and fix django N+1 issues.

I usually add it to existing integration tests so that they raise exceptions on N+1. If test coverage is low then I would suggest sending the N+1 metrics to something like datadog. That way your users using the product will reveal all the N+1 issues on your monitoring solution.

EDIT: I should add a screenshot to the README lol but the middleware will print each api being called with a nice table showing each query and the number of times it was called for the api.

Yes, of course. To the bad managers it sounds like just yet another excuse, and they ask other devs until they find one who gives a number.
>Luckily we invented refrigerators so this is not an issue. Things can stay fresh and just as healthy for weeks.

No, they don't. Try keeping sushi in a fridge for a few weeks and then eating it, and see what happens to you.

Many vegetables don't do well in a fridge either, and wilt after a few days.
> This is why open source software and non-walled garden systems are so vital.

Like Wikipedia but for AI.

How much money would be needed? How many volunteers? Who wants to build this?
This is fantastic game! I played it in competition as child, and as a programmer I use the skills I learned from it every day. I highly recommend anyone with children to buy a copy and play it with them. It's easy to learn and an absolute joy to play.

Also, see if your school district participates in the National Academic Games tournaments.

Usually the dynamic data would be generated by the server. eg. if you have an eCommerce site, it might update prices, stock remaining, applicable regions, etc. That would then be pulled into Google Shopping or whatever other service might consume it.
GDPR has forced many large companies to implement data retention policies enabling the (eventual) purge of data related to closed accounts. Before GDPR, account data was usually just kept around forever.

> Answer: Because on the whole it's not important enough to them to warrant the investment of effort and time. Because America's behaviors aren't that far out of the international norm of today (sad to say).

And to elaborate on “important enough” it’s about how beneficial for them is this to take the fight, and not about the moral or how "far out of the international norm". X can be amoral, but if powerful country X is doing it I will loose a lot in this fight, so I won’t take it. But if less powerful country Y is doing the same, there is high chance of winning and I will take the fight.

Asking “How about X?” is highlighting the issue - the more powerful country you are the more amoral things world can tolerate you doing. (The author of the comment doesn’t try to justify the bad actions, but tries to highlight the inequality of treatment).
The idea is you wouldn’t formulate the proof, you’d describe what want proven and it would generate the proof.
> we've verified the host key (and not just TOFU'd it!),

How.

Specifically, what I cannot determine from their docs is how the VM obtains a host key/cert signed by the CA. How does the CA know the VM is who the VM says it is? (I.e., the bootstrap problem.)

(I assume that you also need your clients to trust the CA … and that has its own issues, but those are mostly human-space ones, to me. In theory, you can hand a dev a laptop pre-initialized with it.)
> some people will say it's just regurgitating whatever words and images and associations it has seen in training

That's why I specifically mentioned ARC: Its test test is novel and fully private (even to us, humans), so the model will need abstraction capabilities in order to solve it.
> High-level e-Sports should be considered child abuse at that age.

There is money to be made. That clearly is more important, don't you think? /s

Also, this is not new - in music, real sports, chess and other fields, young children have been abused in that way for ages, all over the world.
> If we got rid of health insurance, prices would necessarily drop to levels where patients could simply pay for health services.

Or they could keep prices high and "the poors" could just go die...?

Based on recent history I wouldn't bet against that outcome.

The root problem with healthcare in the US in general (with lots of blame to go around for the insurance industry, the healthcare industry itself, politicians, etc) is that we treat it like a commodity with elastic demand when in many situations it isn't, getting rid of health insurance (as terrible as it often is in practice here) with no other safety net in place would likely just make this situation far worse for the majority of people (basically anyone who isn't independently wealthy and suffers any kind of medical condition or emergency).
i have not read the article but no, it came from cuneiform from sumer 6k years ago.
I'm not sold on the "collusion" thing. Every government service I've ever (tried to) use has been confusing and difficult to apply for.

It always seemed to me like it's the government wanting people not to get services in order to reduce costs. But I suspect it's more the government being too obsessed with making sure only those who "deserve it" get services.

Just give everyone the benefit and take it back in taxes later. It would cost less in paperwork.
Isn't that true of traditional sports too?
No offense but that sounds like it would fail Occam's razor.
Yeh exactly. AI was trained on real data, and in a few years, there will only be AI versions of real data to run off. ie. alot of that really crappy code will be deployed to github, and the result will be that and more shitty code will be written.

Thats pretty much what has happened over the last 30 years. You need less skills to produce more and more. Google search started it all, i remmeber back then I quipped the Offshored devs wouldnt be able to get a job without an internet connection because previously us engineers prided ourselves on understand and memorising APIs. The Ai programmer will outpace India's cert mills in quick succession but it wont benifit anyone except the Large Corperations who own the Ai. Atleast the Google devs added questions to SO, the AI dev is leecher who only profits, plagerises, never contributes.
... Or by people that actually understand the impedance mismatch between objects and data (quick django example - request data and models are different and not easily interchangeable). Or people that require good caching implementations. Or people that actually design database systems schema-first. Or peoplw that rely on advanced usage that isnt always easy to perform in orm's. The list goes on.
Don't we have LLaMA? The quantized version is runnable on top end consumer hardware, which is within reach for many people if a bit expensive. You can also use it on a rental GPU unit from something like vast.ai or another commercial vendor. AI on demand for free is not a viable economic proposition for now, lest you create a way to vouch for legitimate users and purposes, but at that point most people would rather pay a bit. Maybe in a few years it will become economical.
That line of reasoning sorta would support the claim that webmd and medline and all those sites should just not be accessible to the general population. webmd symptom checker etc.
Wow, that's wild. I can't imagine a green banana causing anything remotely resembling discomfort.

If I'm particularly sick with the runs, the first thing I look for is a banana so green peeling requires a knife and tastes like eating chalk. It fixes me right up within the hour, and I've never had negative effects. But on the day to day it's not so green, just green enough to not be sweet.

BTW this isn't some trail I'm blazing here. Green bananas are well known as a dietary source of RS2, there's even green banana flour sold for its RS2 content. I first discovered use of green bananas for GI maladies when seeking out more natural alternatives to medicines like Immodium AD. They're included in myriad lists of natural remedies... I've found just starting every day with one that's at least slightly green preemptively nips any potential GI problem in the bud, enabling me to then eat basically anything fearlessly for the next ~30hrs.

> Most of what human brain does is prediction of what comes next.

This is categorically false.
It's an opt-in scenario. People aren't forced to be politicians.
If you want something unambiguous in a single pass, sure. But interaction with some back and forth can dig into the ambiguities that matter quickly, ignoring those that don’t. Dialog is a whole separate model. So maybe natural language is a terrible specification language but a great interaction language.
The famous k<w>k<w>k case... indeed.

I think, though, that most instruction texts do the reader a disservice by starting with LZW (and thus having to deal with the kwkwk case from the get go). They should start with LZ78, which is much more simple and elegant; then show how -- although unimportant asymptotically -- we can save some bits by using Welch's trick (W in LZW), and show how that gives rise to the special case which needs to be handled.

Somewhat unexpectedly (for me anyway), if you write the decompressor as a memory stream decompressor rather than as a dictionary decompressor -- that is, instead of putting <w>,k pairs into your decoder dictionary while decoding, you note the output <offset> of where that <w> first appeared - there is no special case, and the implementation goes back to being LZ78 elegant and uniform.
Perhaps someone can explain to me, why aren't x-rays or another high frequency EMF used? Sure we can't bounce x-rays off mirrors like we can light (or can we?), but seems like a logical step we've never taken for some reason I'm ignorant to.
I have an extremely large amount of experience in this context.
>Salve Lucrum, it reads, “Hail, Profit.”

The whole idea that systemic greed has created a situation where each patient has become a profit center that can be milked definitely fits the whole health care and senior care industries.
In the case of EU the member states would just leave if the union starts becoming too corrupt. Until they create a no-leave rule there isn't much to worry about. When they create a no-leave rule then we should start worry, since then EU is heading towards becoming USA.

> At no point did you ever generate an irrational number, nor can you. You can only generate approximations of them, all of which are rational.

If you can’t generate an irrational number, then you can never have a set that contains it.

Again, you want to use a finite label “irrational”, to denote the idea of an infinite process (generating some irrational number one digit at a time without stopping).

You cannot count an infinite process. It doesn’t matter if it’s a rational number, the reals or the naturals.

Sure; Svelte and Solid look promising. And for those of us who like TSX and the better parts of React, Remix's embrace of web fundamentals and its relative simplicity are a breath of fresh air. It's powerful and intuitive, with a really well-designed set of features that represent a coherent paradigm. The return to web fundamentals -- eg its approach to forms -- resonates deeply with me and my peers (building websites and apps for a living since 1998).

Incorrect. This is what people who are into sports think.

It doesn't matter how simplistic sports are, unless someone is into it, they simply don't care.
Accelerando by Charles Stross
On the other hand, physics is filled with problems that are far worse behaved than even large polynomials. 3+ massive bodies interacting under Newtonian gravity. 2+ massive bodies interacting in General relativity [0], anything in quantum field theory, almost all differential equations you run into outside of a textbook on differential equations.

[0] To be far, I'm not actually positive that the 2 body problem in GR is actually computationally harder than massive polynomials, but there is no exact solution to it; and understanding the approximation is definitely harder.
