Who wants to rent a place and build some cool shit?
I woke up this morning and realized I'm in a very blessed position: I'm living at an inflection point in human history (AI), have the skills to get involved (AWS, Google), and have some money saved up. I also have no obligations to a wife or any kids.

So now I just really want to build some cool shit.

This might sound crazy. But I figure what the heck, I'll ask HN: Does anyone want to rent a place for a year and see what we can build if we spend all our time hacking together?

Reach out here or send a message on the website I put up if this idea intrigues you.

If I want near-instantaneous compile times with my build system I'll just make a bash script or Makefile and use a single compilation unit (which Rust does not really do).

When I use Bazel it is because:

- I want to build nearly everything from source in a controlled hermetic environment. No more "well it works on my machine"... only to learn the developer's libs leaked into the build environment.

- I want to do this with a single build system that works across many languages, and to build libraries which are used in many different languages.

- I want to do this within a sandboxed environment for peace of mind when compiling thousands of dependencies.

- I am willing to pay the money and time to setup remote executors to keep performance acceptable.

In the sense that they are trying to get him for things that they would never even consider charging a Democrat for, yes.

That doesn't mean he did or did not do something illegal. The difference is Hillary/etc. can't be prosecuted for anything.

How many campaign finance skeletons do you think most of the big politicians have in their closets that will never be investigated much less prosecuted?
Yup, it sucked! Users had to spin up a replica set all the time. Wasn't fun.

When you consider population clusters in the big urban areas, your point is diluted a bit.

There's a reason we don't do popular vote; California and New York would pretty much pick the president every election.

Take a look at the geographic distribution of red v blue by county in the 2020 presidential election [1].

Relying on only the popular vote could devolve the country into a hunger games type dystopian hellscape where 90% of the country is controlled by a few dense urban clusters.

analog computing is experiencing a surprising comeback?? Article says though being overshadowed by digital computing for decades, analog computing can be useful in solving complex problems that are difficult for digital computers to handle . Scientists are finding that analog computing can help solve problems related to climate change, energy conservation, and artificial intelligence, among other things. This resurgence is surprising to me though, mostly because analog computing is hella expensive (compared to digital computers), difficult to maintain, and requires specialized knowledge to use.

At least some of the legally problematic reimbursement payments to Cohen happened while he was president.
The US already has one of the largest imprisoned populations in the world, per capita. If the problem is unfairness and inequality (which I completely agree are serious problems), the solution is not to imprison even more people, but just richer people for white collar crimes to “balance things out”.

No, the solution is to imprison fewer people from disadvantaged classes. Imprisoning Trump does little to help all the people in prison for dubious reasons.

The logical conclusion of a policy of investigating and punishing all violations of all the laws currently on the books, is that almost everybody in America should be criminalized. That is not what a well functioning criminal justice system looks like.
Fine, pretend I said "industry standard" then. Either way it wasn't something Apple made.
I'm gonna respectfully disagree. Sort of. Does Turbotax and H&R Block lobby to protect their businesses? Yes, of course. However, that lobbying is basically meaningless compared to the political pressure from the real beneficiaries of the current US tax system: the wealthy and big corporations who spend, say, $5-million on tax attorneys in order to save $50-million in taxes. That's who ultimately created the US tax system, that's who stands to lose the most from reform, and that's who's gonna work to protect the status quo.
Utilizing artificial intelligence for article creation by the authors at Buzzfeed could be viewed as an innovative business move, without intending to sweeten the portrayal of their actions. This scenario highlights the idea of "Table As Set," suggesting that when a profitable opportunity is presented to the public, it's only natural for people to capitalize on it. If there's no desire for AI-generated content, then discontinue funding such endeavors and seek different business strategies. As technology progresses, discerning between human and AI-created content may become increasingly challenging. Moreover, these individuals can't be accused of plagiarism, as they're employing AI as ghostwriters, akin to how traditional publishers have utilized ghostwriters for years. This situation parallels those of late authors like Tom Clancy and V.C. Andrews, whose works are continued by ghostwriters. In the end, the main concern shouldn't be whether the content is human-created but if it's engaging. This matter will sort itself out, and companies must either adapt to the present circumstances or risk failure. Just sharing my thoughts!
> lots of people think he shouldn’t be indicted even if he committed a crime, or that he should be indicted even if he didn’t. I think both are wrong, and the only mistake is giving him special treatment. He should be charged if, and only if, the facts and law demonstrate that he broke the law.

You seem to be using "special treatment" differently between your sentences. Almost all crimes that get committed do not result in any indictments. Committing to indict if a law was broken is extremely unusual. Observing that a law was broken and then not indicting is the second-most-common case, behind only to failing to observe that a law was broken and then not indicting. Why is the normal case "special treatment" while the very rare case isn't?
Thank you all four your taking the time to answer.

I'm inclined to think that the model is just too small, or that integer quantization damaged it badly. It has the GPT-2 trait of getting "stuck", (mode collapse?) if it gives a bad response once, it will tend to repeat itself over and over. (Repetition was also a bad GPT-2 trait)

It's important to note that 7 billion parameters really is very small. 20 times smaller than GPT-3. Smaller still than ChatGPT or GPT-4. I find it plausible that in the future there will be distilled models substantially smaller than GPT-3 but with all its power, but GPT4ALL-LLaMA-7B isn't it.
As the images in the page are linked from jetphotos.net (example: https://cdn.jetphotos.com/full/5/74636_1585128961.jpg ) , watch out that they don't do something like an httpd rewrite rule for everything that comes from your http referer and serve up goatse.jpg instead.

That was one of the traditional methods of dealing with people direct embedding images in off-site forums and pages maybe 22 years ago...

If this got REALLY popular I'm sure the jetphotos.net people would probably take a dim view of the extra bandwidth and server load caused by it.
> Most people can talk faster than they can type

Most people I know type faster than they can talk. Also more accurate. I find talking a horrible interface to a computer while sitting down. On the move it is another story entirely of course.

By the way, chatgpt is not very fast either, so usually I type something in the chat and continue working while it generates the response.

I just tried that; it works quite well, however, pressing the mic button kind of messes up that experience.
"The original program engine specification allocated 15 kW of bleed air extraction to support system cooling requirements, and the F135 engine was designed, tested, and qualified to this specification with a level of margin available for future growth," Schmidt wrote. "During the final stages of initial aircraft development, air vehicle cooling requirements grew to exceed planned bleed air extraction."

"To provide the necessary bleed air, the engine is required to run hotter, and the program is realizing the effects of this through an increase in operating temperature, and a decrease in engine life, which is driving earlier depot inductions and an increase in lifecycle cost"

The F135 engine in the F-35 was derived from the F119 engine powering the F-22 (dating back to the 80's). The original plan was to develop a new F136 engine specifically for this plane, but it got slashed as a cost-cutting measure late in development.

Yes, GPT is funny because it's basically Madlibs on steroids.

> This is a major issue. A good build tool shouldn't require a dedicated team.

Build systems are complex because they solve issues which only exist because of how OSes handle libraries and executables. I am pessimistic we can ever solve that issue in a capitalist society. I will be optimistic if we have a new major OS that isn't Windows, Linux, or MacOS in our lifetime or we solve death.
The article and study are a lie. It leave out Asians because when you them then poverty stops explaining the achievement gap. They are blatantly cherry picking their data.
> “A direct-to-I.R.S. e-file system is a solution in search of a problem,” said Tania Mercado, a spokeswoman for Intuit. “And that solution will cost taxpayers billions of dollars.”

Funny, I think she has conveniently recast "the problem" as whether to replace the commercial tax filing industry with something that might be free to the taxpayer. Because yes they doing just fine, thank you, paying us for that convenience, so there is no problem if you look at it that way.

But if the problem is helping people file their taxes easier, then clearly Intuit didn't think that that was a solution in search of a problem, for them to build a whole industry around it...

Funny how entrenched interests will go to great lengths to redefine and recast what the fundamental goal of the government should be. And usually that recasting is some kind of distraction away from the question whether the government should serve the people, or serve specific entrenched interests.
They said tax preparation industry. That's not citizens, that's the major ruling class in the united states, directly and indirectly responsible for many laws at the federal and local levels. Sometimes various branches of the government even consult them to write policy directly, skipping the lobbying step.
Yep, water, sleep, fitness, and being social are all very important too.

This is absolutely ludicrous, unethical, and borderline criminal.

I took algebra I in the summer between 6th and 7th grade. That allowed me to take geometry in 7th grade, algebra II trig in 8th grade, pre-calc in 9th grade, AP calculus in 10th grade and then IB high math in 11th and 12th grade.

I credit my public, magnet school with giving me a huge leg up in life. All of my peers were middle class, yet a focus on lifting us up, accelerating our education, and challenging us helped me become the successful person I am today.

In contrast, my life almost took a severely different and worse path in elementary school when I was sent to the principal's office often in kindergarten and second grade for distracting the class and causing disturbances.

Thankfully my first grade teacher realized the root cause -- I had already learned the material quickly and was bored and thus distracting others. So she gave me more advanced novels and books to keep me stimulated and learning. If instead I would have had a teacher force me to slow down to the rest of the class, I likely would have ended up suspended and a delinquent.

This holding everyone to the slowest standard in the name of equity is actually very inequitable. It forces children with ADHD like myself to end up as failures instead of recognizing neurodiversity and helping each child succeed in the manner best for him or her.
> because megacorps need to control their own code and infrastructure.

explain npm then…
Even if the tax code didn’t change at all and we still filed our taxes the same way I would support this. A couple of years ago I had to mail my taxes in. It took them over a year for them to process them. During that time the government owed me over $5000 which may no seem like a lot but I was a poor student. (They sent me a check for a whole $50 in interest.)

There are apparently millions of other tax returns in the backlog. Those returns often represent people like me whose money was locked up. I was fortunate that it didn’t cause me true financial hardship but I’m sure others weren’t so lucky.
Ask HN: Language that treats key-value DBs like memory?
Hello everyone! I'd like to know if there exists a programming language that, instead of being mapped to memory, is mapped to a key-value database? In other words, one that treats the key-value database as if it were a large memory space? This way, I could, for instance, use any complex data structures like binary trees, linked lists, queues, graphs, etc., as if I were working in memory, but it would actually be done in a key-value database?

If such a thing exists or is possible, how would the performance be? I imagine the performance would be significantly degraded? Or could caching help mitigate this? If such a thing exists or could exist, how would the distinction be made between in-memory and persistent structures? For example:

A let a_xpto: i32 = 10; would place the value "10" in the memory region called "a_xpto". If it were persisted, it could be something like: ^let a_xpto: i32 = 10; which would place the binary value "10" in a key-value position with the key "a_xpto" where the "^" directive would indicate that the writing would be done in the database and not in memory.

Wouldn't such a language solve all the age-old problems we face at the interface between code and databases? I see that today we have numerous databases, each with a different purpose, a different interface, and communication between code/data structures in memory vs databases is always very painful. We're always left wondering: should we create this function in the database or in the code? How would the performance be? And if I have more than one type of database? How do I integrate them? Should I load everything into memory to filter? Or should I filter something in the database before processing further?

Additionally, we end up with that odd-looking code that passes strings to databases. Even when using an interface that "maps" the database to objects, it's still not great. It's always a pain to modify the database, for instance. If something like what I'm describing existed, it wouldn't matter which database was behind it. I know that Datomic does something in this direction: it abstracts a database, allowing you to easily swap out the underlying database type. However, it's still not quite what I'm talking about. What I'm describing goes beyond that: you would use the same data structures, objects, etc., that you're used to working with in your code, but in a persistent manner.

Can anyone shed some light on this?
If you care about this kind of stuff, the theory lies in numerical methods, for example,

Unless you actually use the memory (e.g. allocate it), it won’t impact system performance, but yeah, it definitely is overhead.

For anyone familiar with sockets being very confused. When they say "raw sockets" they just mean like TCP or UDP sockets as opposed to eg. "websockets".

> No one has ever pointed to a charge that related to the payment itself that I’ve heard.

When the story rolled around the first time, people did indeed make the argument that the payment itself was illegal.

The campaign finance laws require expenditures that help your electoral chances to be declared as campaign expenditures.

They also prohibit declaring any expenditures that help you in your personal life.

This leads to the obviously terrible result that while you're campaigning for office, it's illegal to pay for anything that simultaneously helps you electorally ("the voters will never hear about my affair with a stripper!") and in your personal life ("my wife will never hear about my affair with a stripper!"). If you don't declare the campaign expense, you're violating the disclosure laws. If you do declare it, you're embezzling from the campaign.
Sure, but that's not what causes it.

I can reason through the code and understand it.

The thing that makes me wonder if I'll ever be a real programmer when I grow up is that someone wrote this, probably on a Thursday after lunch (at least, that's how my brain imagines it).

They were able to conceptualize the math solution to a major optimization problem, deal with all sorts of precision issues with bit manipulation, and come up with a blazing fast bedrock algorithm that's dazzling both in it's simplicity and complexity. And then likely popped out to a pub for a pint and didn't think much about it again.

Intellectually, I understand that this person was specialized, and may struggle mightily navigating the complexity of modern web frameworks, something that I find straightforward because I do it every day.

But for some reason, this stuff always strikes me as being "real" programming, and what I'm doing as just plumbing, piping together the bits that the "real" programmers write.

I know, I've experienced it.

But in those other countries the tax code tends to be simpler and the reporting back to the tax agency more accurate.

If you've ever been transfer more than $600 through a payment platform you're going to need to do some tracking on math to make sure the right amount gets reported. The payment platforms aren't going to do that for you.
Your points were perfectly portrayed. The problem was that they are extrapolations based on assumptions born from idle musings and suppositions. AI is already used heavily in VFX and it's use is expanding. Tech artists in VFX, games , etc are not non-technical people. Much, if not most of any given job involves coding in Python, C++, or a handful of proprietary languages. I was a full-time developer for ten years and I know one with a masters in computer science in addition to an MFA. If you knew things like that, or anything about the way professional VFX was done, the logistics of how movies get made, what intellectually and creatively goes into creating movie scenes, the involved piplines and their purposes, both technical and artistic, or any of the other critical bits of knowledge needed to talk about how this stuff actually works, then your comments would have been a lot better. If that wasn't obnoxious enough by itself, it manifests in the urge rub your perceived insecurity of people's careers in their faces. No matter how insanely ill-informed your statements are, that's just a messed up thing to do. It's not normal. Man. Get some help.
8 years of investigations, two special prosecutor, two impeachments 3-4 non federal investigations all for different crimes... its almost comical to list all of that out and still have people think this isnt purely political.
How on earth did the government owe you a $5,000 tax return as a poor student?
Almost certainly not. It's not very likely for him to be voted out, and companies don't "hope" their dollars go toward what they want.
