This is incorrect, though subtly, and for several different reasons:

1) It is completely possible to create a sawtooth wave that contains only a single frequency. However, you could also consider the wave to be an (infinite) sum of sinusoids at different frequencies. Both views are "correct", and which is more appropriate depends on the context.

2) Related to (1): natural (acoustic) sounds are almost always best considered as a sine series. While there are such sounds which are most easily described as a sawtooth, when you consider the physical/mechanical process by which they are formed, the sine series is a more obvious approach.

3) A digital 1Hz sinusoid can trivially contain no harmonics at all. However, the moment you attempt to convert this into an acoustic pressure wave, the nature of the physical world essentially guarantees that the acoustic pressure wave will have a series of harmonics going out far beyond the base frequency. Once you start actually moving things (like magnetic coils, speaker cones and air), it's more or less impossible to avoid generating harmonics. But since the original signal was genuinely a pure sine tone, it becomes a little tricky to decide what the correct way to describe this is.

Right, but that's where absolute and relative come into play.

200k new users per week is... what, 0.05% - 0.1% of Twitter active user base?

Not saying one day it might not snowball, but it's been 6 months and I wouldn't call Mastodon an existential threat to Twitter just yet. I am tremendously enjoying and schadenfreuding the twitter melodrama, but even most people making fun of twitter/musk/socialnetworks, seem to be doing it on twitter.
Because under a fully deregulated scheme, corporations will raise a private Navy + private Army and then conquer India... effectively becoming a government on their own.

Governments, in general, are constantly "less bad" schemes compared to their predecessors. The Roman Republic is pretty bad by today's standards, but it was far superior to other forms of government in the timeframe it existed in.

The discussion of "Government" is innately about "Good Government", not bad ones. A good government will split responsibilities in a way that proves to everybody that its trustworthy. That's the lesson on modern civics (ie: anything from the Magna Carta or more recent).

-----------

In any case, I'm not convinced that the fully privatized scheme discussed in this blogpost is to anyone's benefit. The current scheme of free-market banks that collapse on their own (and then the US Government stepping in afterwards) has numerous benefits in practice.
Haven't see any meaninfull problems.
A bit less spam and crap.
> There still isn't much of a reason to move away from it, except for those who want to signal their disdain for Musk's political views

Most of the people I follow have moved off it. They use Twitter largely for announcements when they've put out something new but all their casual, unfiltered thoughts are going in Mastodon. Every time I check in on Twitter now it seems the noxious behavior to signal ratio gets worse.
> obviously they are peculiarities in the 18th century institution of the postal service

The USPS was created in 1971, which is not the 18th Century.

(Heck, even the monopoly rules that originally applied to the Post Office that now apply to the Postal Service were first established in the 19th, not 18th, century.)

People may berate twitter as being a 'simple' app, but everyone uses it because everyone is already there. Substack can't clone that 'first mover' advantage.

Sounds intriguing. I currently copy the URL of any page I am interested in and then open a new tab, click the favourite for archive.is and then paste the URL and hit save. Then I do the same with web.archive.org/save

If shortcuts can make this process faster and require fever steps when I use them, I would like to have a shortcut for each of those two archive sites.

Anyone have good shortcut to share for either of the two archive sites?

I found some but neither of the ones I tried were quite perfect. The one for Wayback Machine navigated there but did not automatically start the save. The one for archive.is activated reader mode after archiving.
I wrote https://github.com/TinyWebServices/tqs a couple of years ago. It is modelled after SQS and runs in a single threaded Tornado server.

I don’t know how many messages per second it does but for a podcast crawling side project I have processed hundreds of millions of messages through this little Python wrapper around SQLite. Zero problems. It just keeps running happily.
>Not only have I used it, I have made several accurate advance predictions about its behaviour and capabilities – some before GPT-4 was even published.

No you actually haven't. That's what i'm trying to tell you. Your advance prediction are not accurate. what you imagine to be problems are not problems. your limits are not limits. you say it can't make good abstract translations unless overfit to the translation. that's just false. I know because i've tested translation extensively for numerous novels and other works

>I can model these models well enough to fool GPT output detectors into thinking that I am a GPT model. (Give me a writing task that GPT-4 can't be prompted to perform, and I can prove that last fact to you.)

Lmao. Okay mate. The notoriously unreliable GPT detectors with more false positives than can be counted. It's really funny you think this is an achievement.

>(In fact, it might well be worse: GPT-4 is worse than GPT-3 at some of these things.)

What is 4 worse than 3 at ? Give me something that is benchmarkable and can be tested.
Thats not how malpractice works.

This is most likely correct. They didn't realize that consumers always prefetch, and the minimum is 1.

Look at the people who have been killed by Teslas because they were playing video games or hanky panky in the back seat. People don't do that with a gas pedal or even cruise control because it will go wrong very quickly and we know it. With subhuman but roughly functional self-driving, we instinctively see that our attention is wasted 99% of the time. It's hard to make people pay attention 100% of the time because it's needed 1% of the time.
This is my philosophical take on it… We’d be better off admitting that we rely on nature for almost everything we need, no matter how great an iPhone or ChatGPT is. Some “peasant” still grows your food and the “dumb plants” still produce your air, the more complicated we make things, even with AI augmentation, the more problems we will continue to cause ourselves.

Look at what wave done to soil, the oceans, we’re likely on the wrong track. Maybe it’s even unrecoverable.

I think we can have a much more advanced society , but we need to slow down a lot and do things more in harmony with the natural world and out our egos aside. We’d probably have a much better quality of life for doing so.
The exam is from 2019 and GPT-4's training cutoff is 2021, so it should know about the experiment.

Your email inbox isn't an echo chamber because it's not a social platform.

According to this research study, these are the two main ingredients:
1) Homophily in the interaction networks
2) Bias in the information diffusion toward like-minded peers
https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2023301118

Substack Notes is their way to venture into the social platform realm, which differs from the personal email inbox model, which isn't a social platform. With that in mind, for ingredient #1: people can only see notes from people they follow. People will overwhelmingly only follow people that align with their ideas/political leanings/beliefs. This creates the homophily in interaction networks. For #2, users can easily share biased information to their like-minded peers without pushback/opposing views since their social network is comprised of people with the same viewpoints.

To be clear, algorithms can definitely create echo chambers as well but ideally an algorithm based feed will promote discourse and dialogue about ideas.

An anecdote: I follow quite a few people on TikTok that post about housing policy in NYC. TikTok's algorithm exposes these videos to people with varying viewpoints, which creates a ton of dialogue on proposed solutions and pushback on ideas that could potentially harm certain demographics/historical areas, etc. This pushback is very important but is only possible when there is a chance for those with opposing views to discover it, which means there needs to be an algorithmic recommendation feature.

If TikTok had no FYP and instead people could only watch videos from people they follow, this would create a closed loop system and those opposing views for housing policy would not be nearly as prevalent.
I can't describe the feeling I feel when I view a website like JetPens, but it's there.

It's the same feeling I had when I visited my first website.

It's that same feeling I got when we had software instead of web apps.

Tangible springs to mind.
It's very popular right now, but it's really hard to tell if it's just a fad. Motion controls had a huge wave of popularity starting with the Wii, but that died off. It will be interesting to see.
Regardless of your personal view of Ken Griffin, he is a Harvard alumni. Giving back to your alma mater is an American tradition followed by many before him. I would love to be able to donate $300M to my alma mater too.

Also, I would rather see billionaires donate their fortunes to universities, where they can serve the needs of the student community, university faculty and staff, than stashed in investment accounts.
It's anyone's guess what will happen in the long run (or rather, the medium run) but for now the approach that seems to be working is for users to flag the comments that they guess are bot-generated. That's actually the approach we've always taken—it's just that the bots, as everyone knows, have taken a quantum leap recently.
Here's the HN discussion for that article that puts it into context: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33651693

The author is only speculating about Mastodon's search feature, and I see no actual evidence that the search feature is intentionally limited due to child sexual abuse material.

As someone who consumes twitter posts without even having an account, I don't really care if a 'tweet' comes from twitter or substack.

>240p is fake and a lie, but close enough for us

I want to know more :) and my googling skills are failling me. But I didn't even realize you could do 240p/60hz on a CRT. To be honest I even assumed that CRT more or less means interlaced for some reason...

> Musk is the least of my concerns, I can ignore his account if I cared that much.

You really can't tho. Even if you block him, he'll still routinely show up in your timeline when people tweet a jpg of his tweets. Even if you somehow ignore all that, he'll still do random shit like change the Twitter logo to a dog to make sure you don't forget it's his playground, and you're just an NPC in his main character existence.
I think some domain-specific considerations include:

1. You need a really big in-memory data set that you touch ~all of several times for each request, so you really want to e.g. memory-map it and make sure it actually fits in memory on the machine.

2. If using a GPU, you have to make sure the GPU is hooked up to the serving process. You probably want your processes to be heavier-weight than they otherwise would be.

3. You might want to batch requests from several users for processing in the same stream of commands to the GPU. So you need to collect the right number of requests before processing any of them, without making any requests wait too long. You might need to sort these out by what inference parameters they want to override, and send them to different servers, because they might need to be batched accordingly.

4. You might want to stream the output more or less character by character. Possibly to several users, from one live run on a GPU, after having batched up enough requests to justify a run.

5. Content moderation when you are sending data to the user before you have even seen all of it yourself is an unsolved problem.
I don't follow that much of the sports world, but the celebrities are definitely shifting more towards Instagram. I feel like Twitter is rapidly distilling down to LinkedIn type hustle-culture influencers.

This seems pretty common in "fédérations" (or similar systems.)

I guess Californians and Texans can both vote for local politicians under the same party, but nothing force the politicians to vote together once in Congress ?

Also, I think as a bloc, the EU is not entirely ready yet for, say, French people to directly vote for non French people. But who knows.

As for the balance of powers in the EU, it's far from perfect. But coming from France, who am I to judge ?
It’s abundantly clear that we are going to expect near-perfect reliability from autonomous vehicles. This isn’t necessarily illogical; they operate in a different context than humans do. We expect humans to make mistakes and we have various ways of dealing with the consequences (eg lawsuits targeted at the responsible individual). The argument from statistics doesn’t appear likely to win the kind of societal approval we need for autonomous vehicles to be accepted.
I'd seriously recommend the 4090 over the 4070 if you want to do finetuning/inference locally. And I highly recommend 64GB of ram.

The 24GB of VRAM is 100% worth it alone. If you want to do local ML stuff you _need_ that 24gb of VRAM.

64GB of ram + 24GB of vram lets you run a lot of the medium size models at decent speeds. I don't use Colab personally but AFAIK it should work fine for you if you don't want to do it locally.

Also worth noting is the newer ray tracing rendering that cyberpunk is doing. You should checkout the demos IMO it looks sick. It only runs at 18fps on a 4090 so it's only playable on a 4090 + dlss, and I'm not sure if the newer rending tech will be super achievable on any of the other cards - if that's of interest to you.
The thing is, America can afford to have its school system be the worst while also being the most expensive, because it compensates through skilled immigration from countries which have ambitious people with great schools (Asia, Eastern Europe), and also from having the best research universities along with top paying companies, ensuring US's technological superiority.

Linus Torvalds or Andrej Karpathy didn't go to school in the US, but they made their careers there, so as long as the US will be the No. 1 gathering place for the world's top minds (and highest salaries), it has nothing to worry about.

It might just as well not have a school system at all. /s

Edit: I'm not from the US, it's just how I see it from my PoV
This generally seems to be a thing plaguing tech anymore. Within the last several years I've noticed the removal of "No" buttons in favor of "Not Yet" buttons and no way to say "Never show again." I don't understand why companies think repeatedly notifying me about the same thing will do anything but make me mad. You're not going to force me to install it or use your product or do whatever you're trying to force me to do by bothering me about it. I'll just not buy another product from you or find some way to make it stop one way or another.
I think with things like this, it's staying ahead of the curve that's key. Remember to consider what the entirety of this industry is. There's hundreds of thousands of software developers employed doing what is the equivalent of copy pasting CRUD endpoints from Stack Overflow without any product or scaling considerations.

Keep your skills sharp, understand what users want, and look out for your own career when you can. Make hay when the sun shines.

All this isn't to say that the job is even going to be automated. Maybe AI really does just serve to make us better for now! Important to remember that the more well equipped you are cognitively, and the better emotional reasoning (EQ in general) you have, the longer you are going to survive.

We have a long way to go to this future and you're ahead of it already by thinking about it. Don't succumb to anxiety and fear. If this is really what you enjoy doing, keep doing it and keep on your shit.
The worst part is the stigma surrounding misfires, with some people even losing their jobs. Danish military is also using this gun in the no-safety version, and have had several misfires. The blame always goes on the users, never the gun.
From the article:

> To the best of my knowledge—and I double-checked—this exam has never before been posted on the public Internet, and could not have appeared in GPT-4’s training data.
> Very few people are able to do that.

All kinds of idiots have done that: Bill Gates, Larry Ellison and even Donald J. Trump have all proven capable of not mucking up if they've got enough help.

When you strip away Jobs' great council of advisors, amazing industry connections and production value, you're left with a guy. Kinda like how without the marketing and software, an iPhone just becomes a computer again. It's a vulnerable fact to accept, but denying it doesn't make us closer to understanding how humans or iPhones work. The hunger for knowing what made Jobs special left us foolishly vulnerable to worshiping him. A man with a big company is still a man, and if that man is an asshole then we shouldn't preach the opposite to respect their vision. Same goes for Walt Disney or Elon Musk - a futurist can still be deeply wrong in their beliefs. Many are, which is why their ideas are so grand in the first place.

So, let's appreciate the good parts and use the bad as a cautionary tale. Both sides of his life give us plenty to teach from.
Pretty sure I know which company you're talking about b/c I had the same experience. I read somewhere the IQ test may be a mandate from the CEO.

I actually had to take the silly IQ test twice, once on my own and a second time with a webcam proctor who watched me (its as awkward as it sounds).

Anyway the proctor told me I got a perfect score, so I next completed the take home, with all three solutions passing the tests (in an optimal way AFAICT). Got rejected anyway.

The IQ part felt like a big waste of time for me as well as the proctor. So long as they insist on this silly game I agree to not bother applying there.

Every situation is different etc but speaking for myself BNPL seems fundamentally unattractive given how many credit card benefits you'd forego [1]

The law is reasonably clear in this area, with established precedent and procedures. Used to be followed.

Not the consequences I’m referring to, rather law enforcement.
This is Design not UX also you can actually get quite far by following those 'rules' you still want to have the meta issues sorted out first before getting to the tweaks. But yes, the notion of practice over art actually does apply - you can make things better in a pedantic way.

Which means that the scores would have remained unchanged: result values are not absolute but relative to the population.

Did you ever try plying them without the glasses? Now that’s a headache!

I had a Master System as a kid and was disappointed when I purchased Maze Hunter 3D and brought it home only to find I could not play it without the glasses. No wonder they were discounted.

However, I did read in a book that Space Harrier 3D had an Easter egg that allowed you to disable the 3D feature, but you had to get on the high score screen to execute the code. I ended up buying that at a discount. I got quite good at getting through the first level of the game without the 3D glasses.

I think their strategy is to use a cheap search algorithm to reduce candidate results and use a more expensive network to filter those results. The head end search could be replaced by an embedding-based search with a vector based search engine but it may work well with the conventional search engine.
