You’re being disingenuous. Those are old links, and state of the art is that solar panels and wind turbines can be almost fully recyclable. And nuclear waste in the US is still kept in “temporary” storage cooling ponds indefinitely.

(Veolia and Siemens are the biggest players in this space, but there are many others who have established end of life supply chains for these products)
Ask HN: Is it disappointing that ChatGPT does not illuminate human intelligence?
How ChatGPT comes up with a response is rather mysterious and doesn't reveal insight into how intelligence works — and hence don't shed much light on how human intelligence works or how one might simulate it in a more direct manner on a computer.

Isn't this a disappointing aspect of recent AI advances?

This is a profession as old as time. "Get rich quick" books and seminars, MLM schemes, the entire "hustle" culture in general. Remember the most profitable venture during the gold rush wasn't digging in mines but opening inns and selling shovels.

If there is a true secret to building wealth then people who know it aren't going to go around telling everybody for $50/mo.
This is a long standing internet grift. Not sure why it's HN worthy.

Adderall is not (usually) prescribed for weight loss, it would be an off-label use as well. There are stimulant medications like adderall that are prescribed and work much better at appetite reduction than Adderall.
Ask HN: Why does OpenAI intentionally keep its randomness/seed value a secret?
So any LLM works with an input/prompt, parameters (like the so-called temperature) and randomness aka seed for its "magic" decision making based on a modell. Think of the randomness like the magic number for minecraft maps: It can create repeatably the same world just from one number and the same version. Or the seed number in stable diffusion: Same prompt, same seed, same modell = always the same result.

But not for GPT3, ChatGPT and GPT4. I wonder why.

I'm quite mad that this random seed is not presented to be preserved or available as an input. It would speed up scientific exploration, produce differen/better fidelity tests.
We should disregard the cost and aggressively subsidize a massive expansion of nuclear power, guaranteeing the price for consumers (matching something reasonable re the market).

Some might proclaim that's not fair competitively. I have no interest in being fair about the matter, I don't want my government to be either.

That's exactly what co-pilot does, ask it to rearrange it if what it comes up with is the same. That's what code plagiarism checkers are for.
From what I can see, @jart had spent a considerable amount of time on this problem and had posted an interesting-but-not-production hack to it (https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/5b8023d9354010...) on March 17th, which they had also excitedly posted about on Twitter.

This was 2 weeks prior to @slaren's contribution (https://github.com/slaren/llama.cpp/commit/fc685122f95f212d1...) on March 29th, so in a sense, it's quite possible that what you've just shown is that @slaren saw that @jart was working on mmap support, worked out a cleaner solution and then wasn't happy with only being a co-author -- for their contribution, they believed that they must be the only person mentioned on the PR: although this is weird, since I don't think they even have a public profile, so maybe instead the truth is that they weren't comfortable with working with somebody that hypes up any changes they've worked on for popularity?

I don't think saying "my changes" on Twitter and other social media means what you suggest it does as is it is just informal speech to refer to things you've worked on with "my", and particularly when you see the times this was expanded (e.g. "yesterday my changes to the LLaMA C++ file format were approved") it seems more reasonable than it does without this context.
Freestanding rigs do exist, but as you're likely aware, they transfer all their loading and stresses through their mast step - most often being stepped through the deck so you essentially have the full hull height worth of support. Not sure which AC class you're referring to either - all the wing based boats absolutely have standing rigging, they just don't have spreaders since they're rotating masts.

Even if this proposed mast is stepped through the entire container, the forces on it will be plenty to cause issues since the containers are only held down by neighbouring containers and the 4 anchoring twistlocks. This proposed design will 100% require standing rigging to support it - the claim that the rig will only experience 10s of kn of loading is almost certainly incorrect as well - 30ft racing sailboats will experience loads exceeding that at the chainplates regularly. The moments about a mast are huge, even on relatively small rigs.
Because otherwise the evaluation order of the following construct is undefined, and you can get different results if you compile your code with different compilers:

foo()[bar()];

In nearly all cases it won't matter, but it can matter if foo() and bar() have some kind of shared state (or affect each other's return values, but seriously don't do that). In general it's better to have a defined evaluation order unless there's some compelling reason not to.
I'm very sure milvus supports it. Milvus calls it hybrid search though: https://milvus.io/docs/hybridsearch.md#Conduct-a-hybrid-vect...
Adderall and Ritalin are not meth, and the fact that you consider them equivalent demonstrates your harmful lack of knowledge on this topic.
Sounds "Just. Like. Oxy." in that people who have no idea what they're talking about go based on their gut feelings as if science and medicine should yield to their imagination:

I mean I'm sure your diabetes is horrible but try telling someone taking insulin to stop. They won't. They depend on not being in a diabetic coma too much! And not slipping into a diabetic coma becomes a part of their personality.

ADHD doesn't mean hyperactivity despite hyperactivity being in the name. For me not taking ADHD medication results in what your proclivity for drug abuse was gaining you: the super human ability to focus on one thing for hours and hours at a time.

The difference is when the drugs you were abusing wore off, you'd go back to being able to do other things. I'd just keep being prisoner of whatever I'm doing indefinitely. It's an awful feeling to know you have to do something else, you really need to switch tasks right now, but it's like you're a prisoner in your own mind, just stuck.

So subjecting myself to that isn't really something I'd willingly... is that surprising?

I mean I've personally requested lower doses of medications, leaned towards less "intrusive" delivery methods like metabolized extended release versions, and stopped when I was injured and unable to do much (being stuck mentally wasn't a big deal when I was physically stuck)

But even if someone else dealing with this doesn't want to do that, I don't blame them. It's an awful disease that deserves proper treatment. Some dumb drug abusing kid isn't going to change that.
some internet of things stuff like a webcam will write data to an sd card.
I'm disillusioned with Apple. With any operating system, you can easily develop with good tools for Linux, Windows and Android. But for MacOS and iOS, you need to buy their hardware.

Not sure why this anti-competive behaviour has been accepted for a whole industry. There is no valid technical reason for it.

The small-ish company I'm a consultant at has started buying apple hardware to some of its developers. Not because they prefer the hardware, not because they prefer the operating system. But, we need someone to run xcode to build software.
That's only true if you squint real hard. Might as well say people are addicted to oxygen or food if you're going to oversimplify that far. Plenty of people are able to learn meaningful coping strategies for their ADHD and choose to go off medication (especially those medicated from a young age), or at least off of stimulant medication, choosing instead to treat their disease with non-stimulant options. You'd also have to ignore the fact that they're, umm, different drugs, and do different things. The pain relief granted by opiates, along with them being chemically addictive and the marketing put forth by Perdue Pharma leading to addiction, for which they've paid billion of dollars in fines. There have been no such issues for AmerisourceBergen Corp., Cardinal Health Inc. and McKesson Corp.

The thing about the drugs being different is the results on people's lives. Off medication and unmanaged, people suffering from ADHD go into depressive slumps of executive dysfunction and are unable to perform their EDLs (EveryDay Living activities; showering, putting on clothes, feeding one's self, using the bathroom, exercising), never mind things like cleaning, holding down a job or paying rent. Most are able to keep at the same dosage for the majority of their lives.

That's not what people happens to people chemically addicted to Oxy. They need more and more to get the same effect, and chase after it to the point that many have become hooked on heroin, absent a prescribed supply of Oxycontin. While on the drug their lives turn to shambles, getting fired from work and losing their jobs and then their housing and end up living on the street.

That difference is entirely material to the discussion. If people are able to make more of themselves on a particular medication, society is able to accept that a medication is good, rather than bad. That may be a tough pill for some to swallow, especially those that want to reject traditional societal norms for judging a person's life. Another tough pill is that the idea that Adderall blunts a person should really be considered a fringe belief these days, given how many people use Adderall to better their lives.

Are their people that abuse Adderall? Sure. Are their many more people that don't, and live much richer lives thanks to prescribed medication from a doctor? Absolutely.
Indeed. I find myself alarmed that in the 21st century so many adult minds have been captured by churches that claim to speak for God, and extract a heavy cost from their membership, and justify it in every way, eventually arguing that profit and money is evidence of God's grace. You, in transferring your money to the church, are acting as an instrument of God. And you've given us the ability to give back to you all the made-up good things we can claim, knowing that we won't be held accountable by anyone, especially not the ones we've taken so much from.

Yeah, I added the second sentence to clarify. I'm sure people don't go on it primarily to lose weight, but I could see how it would become a one-way ratchet if going off it causes weight gain.
Have you tried Audiveris?

I haven’t tried it but my first thought was to use something like tesseract OCR, and I found this optical music recognition (OMR) project from there.
Another example is Gideon from the Bible where they smashed a bunch of jars and blew trumpets in the middle of the night which caused the enemy to think they were being attacked by a large army and caused them to fight each other.

> However our laws are backwards: regulators are required to increase safety standards for nuclear so long as it is cheaper, until the costs are brought up to par with other energy sources.

Any citation for that? It's a convenient villain to blame, but absent any proof regulators are deliberately trying to make nuclear less competitive, it seems much more plausible that regulations are driven by concern over accidents. If a wind turbine fails it doesn't make the entire region uninhabitable for decades.
I think you're really stretching the definition of deterministic here.

For example, switching training order of images has a known impact on outputs, but I don't see the equivalent in traditional compression.

I agree with you that it is computer code that runs on circuits (and is therefore deterministic in a very loose sense), but it is fundamentally incorrect to compare it to traditional image compression.
Yes, and the people getting rich during the gold rush were the ones selling pans, shovels, and jeans. A tale as old as civilization.
No disagreement here. I personally think cars should be (mostly) removed from cities. It's incredible how much you can get done on a bike on a proper bike path + the rest 10% of cases could be handled by public transit.
Is both. Reading old things, sometimes published in several different languages is required to master a theme. And finding it first takes an awful lot of time

Nice, I made one too:

My take on this space is that it'll eventually be built into the operating system or PDF viewers, so you're going to have to do more than just "chat with a PDF" -- but that chatting with PDFs is a great place to get started!
Milvus standalone is pretty neat. I made it successfully run on the first try.
Python is literally the easiest language to learn. Any web dev can pick it up, and Django is much more productive than NestJS. Rails and Laravel are nice options too. No Rust or Java options come close.
Maybe if you stop taking Adderall for fun you won't need to compare it to your bags of cocaine.

Not necessarily. Those 50 comments may have come before the update.

I do very hard things and while I do most of the things the author does at some degree(embracing the suck), in my experience it is not the best personal strategy for dealing with this.

For me the secret is like the famous Article says: "Attention is all you need". I distract my attention on how much "boring", or "painful" or "humiliating" some work that I believe is important is.

I just do the work until the work is finished, but I should not feel bored, pain or humiliated while doing it.

If you feel it,It depends on the difficulty of your job, if the difficulty is not that much you can deal with it without problems but if it is hard you will eventually collapse, break down and burn out.

I use instrumental music for that and also habits. I also reward myself for the good work done.
Japan to demonstrate space solar power by 2025 (2022)
I have a lot of interest in solar power , I once read solar panels have better performance in space. I read in the papers around 2014 that Japan announced their plans for orbital generators by 2025. I have much admiration for Japan and it’s wonderful people, and I applaud this endeavor. Happy to share here on hacker news, with what I have observed, some of the most intelligent commenters online.
Planes and birds do operate on the same principles though, but instead of power through propellers birds are powered via wings.

There's no reason to think an LLM would not work for a monkey. Even if it is a different structure than how things work in humans a parallel structure could offer more or less the same benefits.

Anyway I buy the whole LLM thing, consider a baby, they can't talk at all and only become coherent when you talk to eachother just about non stop for 2 or 3 years.
Also in the article: "Utility-scale solar-plus-storage costs are about $45/MWh; wind power costs are $30/MWh; and stand-alone utility-scale solar costs are at $32/MWh"

Wikipedia has higher numbers, but still comparable. And "technology proponent says technology can achieve X" is a really bad selling point if another technology already delivers X, especially if the new technology is going to face social hurdles.
Yes, out of context that is the least damning of the many issues raised.

But if you claim you can reduce costs by building something you call a small modular reactor, and it keeps getting less small and less modular, questions do arise as to whether the initial costs will similarly become more like traditional fission.
As someone who has moved in and out of full time SWE employment to work on side projects and explore new things, I can say this does not work for me. After doing this several times it is very clear that my day job was not the thing that prevented me from making progress on a side project. It was everything described in this post.

Probably more so because even at therapeutic doses it gives a mild high and is addictive.

I can't answer for theirs but I made one too:

The way it works is you first parse the PDF to analyze its text, then use a LLM along with the relevant text when answering user questions.
It's a pretty huge difference. Desoxyn's focus improvement comes with a full-body euphoric rush, which while fun and all, dramatically increases its abuse potential and addictiveness. Amphetamine, in contrast, is just makes it easier to focus. Properly dosed, there's no rush, no euphoria, just slanted walls on the sides of your train of thought.
I had an idea to do something like this combined with something like Zeal or DevDocs so you can have a kind of chatGPT localised just to your specific language or framework. But I guess this does just that job, but in a far more general way
> deterministic lossy compression function

This would only be true if it didn't mix or 'forget' any of the training data for each prompt, and only then for the exact same inputs of the training data. That is a lot of qualifiers that aren't practically applicable.

Slight side note: a deterministic lossy compression function should not always be treated the same as jpeg/zlib, as hash functions are technically also in that category.
This might not fully address what you describe here, but I built https://www.try-it-on.com to do something similar, would love for you to check it out!
It would be impossible to give them useful vocal cords. Just not because of the vocal cords.

There should be a category specifically for invalidated science fiction. Things found to be unpossible in any timeline, assuming consistent laws of nature.
> As a result, nuclear is orders of magnitude safer than anything else

How exactly is nuclear safer than solar or wind? Solar panels in particular are about as dangerous as an inert rock.
