Could you connect a bigger server at your house or wherever using Wireguard to a small VPS, and then don't terminate the TLS at the VPS, use haproxy in TCP mode or similar to copy the still TLS-encrypted TCP connections down the Wireguard pipe back to your house. In that case no one can DOS/DDOS your house (because they don't know your IP), and you can throttle the connections down the Wireguard pipe as well, see CAKE[0], with "Outbound, General Case" but with wg0 instead of eth0 done on the VPS.

> there are a lot of interesting people writing on various topics but when it comes to Crypto,

But when it comes to Crypto there's almost literally nothing interesting to come out of it except:

- scams

- ponzi schemes

- other get rich quick schemes

- schemes that ignore any and all reality

- schemes that are better done using almost literally any other technology (including Brainfuck and MS Access)

- Vitalik's long-winded essays that are either superficial takes on some distant future or technical reports on fixing something in ethereum

And yet for over 10 years now we've been hearing that "there are good and interesting things happening in crypto".

Edit: oh, there's some usefulness there as well: circumventing government rigulations to pay for something illegal, or to be an unregulated uninsured "at your own risk" alternative to Western Union or Moneygram
> I had some unforgettable experiences in Norway, such as a colonoscopy without sedation or anaesthesia in case I can tolerate the pain.

What pain? I have had a colonoscopy without any sedation, also in Norway. It was uncomfortable, occasionally very, but I wouldn't have called it painful. I think you must have encountered an incompetent doctor.

Can't imagine why you would want general anaesthesia unless it was strictly necessary as it gives an additional risk of dying.
I've only watched a couple of his interviews but at least in the ones I watched, which I think this one might have been one of them, he was kind of asking experts to confirm his very positive opinions about Elon/Karpathy as opposed to focusing on stuff they were doing. I find it very strange that he is so famous and popular
Why does Lex have so much “now impress me” energy in these podcasts?

It’s not even a personality quirk because he seems to modulate it throughout the podcast. Surely he can get rid of it altogether.

Rise of Lex is both baffling and utterly expected to me as a AI insider. He used his MIT badge to the fullest extent. Having seen his “lectures” I wouldn’t bet on him cracking an interview for a beginner AI researcher role anywhere
That idea is bonkers insane. I love it. Was/is it technically feasible? Evidently the link to the Black Sea is ~1km at the narrowest and Strait of Gibraltar is 13km. Which sounds like an enormous feat of engineering, but maybe within the realm of possibility.

Edit: evidently the Hoover Dam is 379 meters long.
Maybe SSD are more prone to failures. I had a Samsung 980 Pro which died after a couple of months. Recently bought a SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD and it started to corrupt data just after a couple of weeks of use.
> but the cost per transistor has flattened, or possibly inverted a bit.

No, that part is still accurate. There's still a cost premium associated with really large, dense dies -- and it's one of the major reasons why you see some manufacturers using chiplets to circumvent that.
You can argue compilers have been doing that. And JIT was the next step to enable runtime rewriting of software. AI directed JIT or compilers probably will be next.
> Using LLM to write your scrapers though is a perfect use case for them.

Indeed... and they could periodically do an expensive LLM-powered scrape like this one and compare the results. That way they could figure out by themselves if any updates to the traditional scraper they've written are required.

"We" don't choose.

America's health care system is shaped and maintained by those who benefit economically from its configuration. Configuration maintenance tools include lobbying, gerrymandering, targeted tax favors, and wide dissemination of misinformation.

It's a very small fraction of "we" that maintains this status quo.

He does it with PCBs in one and ram connectors in another, but mentions the process is essentially the same for everything else including CPUs. I'm not sure what the economics of the acids he uses versus nitric are, though.
The word alpha is an approximation (in human terms) for certain privileges the group leader has, over the rest of the pack. You can name it or actively not name it either way. We use words to transmit ideas.
But sure, if you want to be more precise you can make the distinction more finely between humans and wolves behavior.
Oof. I really hope we aren't moving towards a world where people start to copy/paste verbose AI-generated paragraphs without checking the results. Especially not to answer simple questions like, "about how old is someone who was a child 50+ years ago?"

The AI's guess is off by about a decade. If GP remembers multiple booms, they were probably at least 10 by the 1973 ban. Most people can't recall memories back to the moment of their birth, but LLMs often ignore nuanced contextual facts like that. Or maybe this is another case of the model living a few years in the past, since there's a lag in being trained on new data.

Who knows, but I am troubled that its incorrect answer was so readily accepted. This is not an important question, but it would have been easy to double-check. This comment may be a grim portent of things to come, if people continue to trust these models so implicitly.
It will always have some impact because you're thrashing the caches.

A couple more things to try:

Reduce swappiness. Linux tries to swap out idle pages to free memory for block cache, even when there's only light memory pressure. If you have a dozen processes working hard and your UI is untouched for several minutes, it can get swapped out and lag.

sudo sysctl vm.swappiness=1

Set the CPU affinity for your build processes to exclude CPU 0, ensuring one is always free for UI:

taskset 0xFFFFFFFE nice your_build_command_here

Neither is perfect but they can help.
Whether a set is finite or infinite, its power set is always bigger.

Let S be any set and assume f: S -> P(S) exhaustively enumerates the subsets of S using only elements of S.

Then define a new subset L of S: For each s in S, we decide whether to include s in L as follows: If f(s) contains s, then L shall NOT contain s, if f(s) does not contain s, then L DOES contain it.

No s in S can be a preimage of L under f, since L disagrees with f(s) about whether it contains s or not, by construction. So f must have missed L. So P(S) is strictly larger than S.

Nothing about infinities in there. You can't have a surjective mapping from any set to its power set, ever.
That's still serving a human.
The article is about claims, which are a difficult thing than pre-auths.

There are some restrictions on pre-auths and when an insurer can require one. If you are in need of immediate care to save your life, they are not required and your provider will give you care before even telling your insurance company about it.

The grey area with pre-auths is with nonemergency care that could lengthen someone’s life. There are requirements by law for appealing these denials but yes, this is where those stories about “I can’t get my cancer treatment” come from.

This is not the situations in the article, though.

What’s shitty about the actions in the article is that many people don’t even realize that erroneous health insurance denials are common and they just accept the denial and pay out of pocket. It is very common to get a denial, send in a challenge like “no this should be covered” and then they pay.
IIRC, with aviation fuel it's kind of complicated due to international treaties on taxation of fuel.
> It's a shame such (one would think) crucial services are so underdeveloped locally.

Well, the domestic PCB shops are in a catch-22 local minimum. They don't move enough volume which means they can't optimize and automate every step which then means that they can't move the same volume as China which means ... This one infuriates me as it could be fixed but nobody does.

However ... PCBs have a lot of toxic glop and emissions. How do you contain and dispose of it all? How do you prevent people from breathing it? China doesn't really care all that much about those considerations and that adds quite a bit to prices.
It’s interesting (and telling) that is what you inferred from that. You can replace corn with a non-subsidized commodity/service and the principle still holds.

Any mechanism with the explicit intent to increase supply is tantamount to a subsidy. Tax breaks are an informal “subsidy” to spur business, with a cost incurred by other societal goals. Decreasing environmental regulations are an informal subsidy to increase energy production with externalities borne by others. Etc etc. The broader point is that defining the utility function that captures these societal costs/benefits is complex and your false dichotomy misses all that nuance.
Here's a simple solution. Insurance HAS to pay if a doctor recommends it. This is what premiums are for. If insurance cannot pay, they can go out of business.
Why didn’t OpenAI just shut down if being a non profit was unviable? Of course great things have happened because it survived. But survival instinct is as much a part of that transition as anything else
Maybe not too productive but I often ask:

* "What are the future-proof jobs after the AI revolution",

* "How to get to the cutting-edge of my field".
> you come back a few weeks later. You pay your $20. New doctor this time,

That's odd. Here in Norway I can always see the doctor with whom I am registered. Very occasionally I'll accept seeing a different doctor in the same practice because that can mean getting an appointment sooner.

I think you should complain to someone because you are clearly getting substandard care.
Is it wrong or is it true? What's weird is your choice of words.
There really was a period in mu life, when I was taking out my phone and fiddled with it during social events. But as most of bad habits it could be corrected by first being aware of it, then noticing it, and then stopping doing it after I noticed. Now I can consciously put the phone in my pocket and take it out only when I really need it, like for writing something sown or checking online something meaningful for conversation.

It also became a litmus test for social activities: if I want to take the phone out, it usually means that the event is boring, and it is better just to excuse myself from it.
> do we even need structured data in the post-AI age?

Even humans benefit quite a bit from structured data, I don't see why AIs would be any different, even if the AIs take over some of the generation of structured data.
>Insurance was Aetna and Hospital Self Insured

Does this mean that the hospital self-insured and provided the surgery? As in why have Aetna involved at all then?
I agree there is strong overlap between entities, and also infobox values, but both wikidata and wikipedia has many more disjoint datapoints: many tables, factual statements in wikipedia which are not in wikidata, and many statements in wikidata which are not in wikipedia.
True, but even with the base model it is hard to go from logits to a confidence level for freeform answers. For multiple choice questions it is easy, since you just look at the probabilities for each of the allowable tokens in the answer (which is presumably what they did in that benchmark) but I have no idea how to do it more generally.
That's not what I wanted to say. It depends on the situation. Not all neglience is evil, of course not. Not all greed is evil, either.
The Inkplate platform is really neat. Sorry to see they shipped yours without the MCP23017. I used one of those pins for my project:

But probably some of the GPIO pins on the ESP32 are usable (unless they're reserved for the touch pad buttons on the front, I can't remember).
That's incorrect. The assumption was that there was a 1:1 (injective) mapping, and the proof was that it (regardless of it's exact value) wasn't onto (surjective) and so isn't bijective.
If only there was some kind of technology to allow roads to cross water, that would be highly convenient, I guess until that tech gets invented we'll just have to allow flooded roads to cut people off from the rest of the country.

> The results make it clear that isolation will be a significant problem for the US. Even under the lowest sea level rise scenario (0.5 meters by 2100),

Pretty sure we can deal with 1.5 feet of water, it seems somehow surmountable, like maybe add 2 feet of gravel and pave it again?
That would make sense if we didn’t already have online shopping that is so easy and seamless. I know what I like and can already find it and order it inside of literally 15 seconds, 1 minute maximum. Is that minimal time savings worth the creepy factor of a corporate chatbot learning every little thing about you? Have we not been paying attention to the last 10 years with respect to privacy concerns surrounding ad tech?

There’s things about shopping that are monotonous and annoying and there are things that are pleasant and fun. Online shopping already took away 99% of the monotonous, annoying things like driving, waiting in line, etc. I don’t mind spending 10 minutes looking at pictures of 5 different hotels for my vacation, well worth it to make sure thousands of dollars are well spent. It does make sense to let a bot handle routine things like toilet paper and dog food but we already solved stuff like that with subscriptions.

I have had it happen many times for large sites. Always assumed it was some overseas business competitor or extortionist but we've been able to get things back up quickly or prevent it from bringing the site down completely.

There's also tons of sites that get the "HN hug of death" when they're posted here (or Reddit, or wherever else that generates a surge in traffic). Tragic to miss out on all those potential hits and easy to prevent with Cloudflare free.

You can dislike Cloudflare policies, but they do provide a valuable service and often completely free of charge. That's exactly why they have such a large slice of the internet under their domain. People don't just opt in for no reason.

This. Inflows of saline water from the North Sea are important for the ecology of the Baltic Sea. The sea is naturally low in salinity due to its shallowness and the relatively large influx of fresh water from rivers. More saline water only gets into the sea via the straits from the Atlantic.

Apparently, the pulses that bring in saline water (along with more oxygen-rich water) into the Baltic Sea have been getting less frequent in recent decades. They still happen, though.

It seems outlandish that anybody would write about such an idea (or the damming of the Baltic Sea part of it) without even mentioning that. It sounds like a crazy engineering idea with no real regard for side effects.

Insurance companies deny medical necessity claims because the procedure and diagnosis code combinations don't align with what is pre-determined to be medically necessary. One of the big reasons why this happens that nobody ever talks about is because the doctors office does not code the claim correctly and it gets denied. The patient is pissed and blames the insurance company, the doctor is pissed and blames the insurance company, but in reality its the biller/coder in the back office who screwed it up.
The layoffs I have seen just were not that thought out. First people to go were the most paid ones, regardless of performance anyway.
It is a matter of degree. GPT-4 may, for various reasons some of which are artificial handicaps, have only a weak grasp of a board representation now. But if it has any such representation at all, that's already a different story than if it did not. I think all evidence points this way, even from other networks, e.g. image classification networks that learn common vision filters. It's a pretty general phenomenon.

You don't? How about "I think they got a bad reputation because farmers really don’t like it when they kill off their livestock."

I was wondering the same thing and thinking about it.

When AMD bought ATI they viewed the GPU as a potential differentiator on CPUs. They've invested a lot of effort into CPU-GPU fusion with their APU products. That has the potential to start paying off in a big way sometime - especially if they figure our how to fuse high end GPU and CPU and just offer a GPGPU chip to everyone. I can see why AMD might put their bets here.

But the trade off was that Nvidia put a lot of effort in doing linear algebra quickly and easily on their GPUs and AMD doesn't have a response to that. Especially since they probably strategised on BLAS on an APU. But it turns out there were a lot of benefits to fast BLAS and Nvidia is making all the money from that.

In short, Nvidia solved a simpler problem that turned out to be really valuable, it would take AMD a long time to organise to do the same thing and it may be a misfit in their strategy. Hence ROCm sucks and I'm not part of the machine learning revolution. :(

CPS is generally required to investigate any complaint and follow a protocol. The hospital doesn't have a failed drug test since it doesn't meet the guidelines. They're only required to report if they reasonably believe the mother is using drugs. Tests below the guideline level don't provide that basis. It's an unnecessary/false report.

It's the same way that courts grant protection orders or red flag orders - they're supposed to use the basis of something being more likely than not. Yet they consistently "err on the side of caution" and simply grant the order even though it's not actually likely to occur in most cases. Thus we see some lawyers advising their clients to file orders without basis during divorce to gain leverage. I'd love to see the numbers, but I would guess the process is abused or misruled on more often than it's used correctly.

Middle-Endian is how it tends to be said out loud in English. Even in countries that would write 25/3/23, you still usually answer "What day is it?" out loud with "It's March 25th" rather than "It's the 25th of March." And after that point, the year going at the end makes sense because people are generally not asking what year it is. The only thing that makes it confusing at all is Europe choosing to do it differently without a clear way to tell which system is being used in some cases (you could say this about timezones as well, and would be right to complain there as well, but that doesn't mean that someone's particular timezone is "more correct").

In my opinion though, using a number for the month at all is silly. Nobody ever answered "What month is it?" with "Five." A better format would be to use standard 3-letter codes for the month, e.g. MAR:25:23.

Yes, my post was mostly a response to the first few segments of the interview where Sam talks about how experts in the field didn’t believe in their (openai) focus on AGI.
