Sure, I'm just wondering why it happened in this instance. Apparently telling a teacher you won't need them anymore is a kind of impossible situation for them, so I was wondering if offering them an 'out' would help.

Otherwise you get some weird conflict where they need to tell a teacher, which I think is automatically a superior?, that they're no longer required. So they're in a position where they need to 'criticize' a superior, and it looks like they choose to do so obliquely, and then just freeze when said superior asks them to tell it straight.
5950x is a CPU model. Integer-quantized models are generally run with CPU inference. For the larger models the problem then becomes generation time per token.
I'm just clarifying your assertion that these stations:

> are used for rendition

There's no extradition agreement between PRC and NE hence rendition could only be extralegal/extraordinary, which these stations are not doing. That's borderline declaration of war territory. I'm not suggesting these stations are not also used to "pressure" / coerce people to return - they explictly are - but my point is in terms of functionally appropriate is there's nothing wrong about informing people about consequences on PRC soil if they don't voluntarily return. I don't see how "free" societies can enforce, in this case dutch nationals (again a lot of these stations are staffed by nationals) telling other dutch nationals about "implications" on PRC soil. That's as tame as it gets in terms of permissible foreign influence.
Hardcore “competitive” RTS (StarCraft/Age of Empires) can’t since it’s not competitive enough if you can’t hit a meaningful 300+ actions per minute, which is impossible without hotkeys. Even IF they could, I am skeptical you’d get converts. Even IF all of them converted, hardcore RTS is not thriving right now. You’d have to create the perfect game and you’d be rewarded with less players than a Minecraft clone.

The big jump in the last couple of years coincides with the war in Ukraine and high international gas prices.

The government response has been to pressure gas producers to reserve more for the domestic market.
Agree with sibling comments. Not immediately relevant to me but at my current position we go out of our way to avoid anything and everything Amazon. Very hard to do. And if a project were backed by Amazon I would be very embarrassed to start building on it at work.

We are so serious about this that I almost got a contract canceled because it looked like they were running on AWS, and we got them to switch to Azure.
Common approach for the last few decades was to add "event log" tables that get updated on triggers in every INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE.

Basically, for every table "things"

(id INT, name VARCHAR, ...)

you'd also have a "things_history"

(operation VARCHAR, id INT, name VARCHAR, ...)

This is basically a slight inverse of your model, but pretty much the same implementation: your "materialized views" are actually the target tables, and auto-maintained tables give you the source of truth for audit etc.

It’s not good at math. It can do stuff sometimes, and you can easily teach it to use a calculator.

What’s similar that it would be good at is extracting what you bought and turn it into a list and formula.

[Me] Extract the list of things that I bought and their prices. Write a shell command to figure out how much I spent.

I spent 200 on groceries and paid my 70 phone bill. I was going to buy three pairs of pants that were $40 each. I didn’t like the colors. I bought a t shirt for thirty. And I did end up buying one pair of pants. But it was 5 dollars more than those other ones. And I bought bag of tea for every day next year, they were a quarter each.

[ChatGPT] List of things bought and their prices:

Groceries: $200

Phone bill: $70

T-shirt: $30

One pair of pants: $45

Bag of tea: $0.25

To figure out how much was spent, you can use the following shell command:

echo $((200 + 70 + 30 + 45 + 365*0.25))

This command will add up the prices of all the items, including the bag of tea for every day next year. The output will be the total amount spent.
>Which is impossible, because you'd need an infinite amount of energy to do that.

To date I’ve never seen any experimental evidence that the energy required for

A -> B = DV1

X -> Y = DV2

Where X >>> A and DV1 == DV2, was any different. I’ve read countless people claiming it is so under existing theory, but again I’ve seen no concrete experimental evidence.

Imagine two people standing on the “nose” of two mostly identical but different asteroids in vacuum, where one is traveling at 1000mph relative to galactic center and another at 95% the speed of light.

If both jump with equal force I believe they’d accelerate the same, though one should in theory require far more energy to do so if acceleration towards C requires exponentially increasing energy.

I’m aware of the existing theory hack around “reference frames” and that the rate of time is different in each location due to the dV but I don’t actually believe that any of that occurs for macroscopic masses.

There’s better evidence velocity messes with our clocks than velocity messes with time.

My old x270 got that kind of battery life, on Linux, and that was 4-5 years ago. Granted, it was an Intel i5 and not AMD, but AMD had a negligible presence on the laptop CPU market at the time.

Every laptop I've run with Linux in the last 6 years just works out of the box with pretty much everything working: Lenovo, HP, Acer, Dell. I don't know if it's a distro thing or if I'm just lucky or what, but I never really need to do much special.

Try a multidimensional problem which requires prioritizing. Chances are it will be passed successfully. I asked chatGpt to solve a puzzle where I'm in room with a crackling fire, a wilted plant and a sandwich. My stomach is rumbling, amd i can see a watering can and an ember on the floor. What should i do? ChatGpt had no problem prioritizing what should be done - and then provided a lecture on fire safety, food safety, and the dangers of overwatering plants. A final comment said i should enjoy the peaceful atmosphere in the room, which was a bonus suggestion hinting that the problem was far too easy.

"Our Choice: To Be Global or To Be Western?"

This is the crux of the matter in a nutshell. The West has been 'Top Dog' so long that most of us can't envisage any other viewpoint. The West is highly at risk of being left behind and unable to catch up.

And it's not just Open Source where the West will be left behind. It's time for us to leave the cocoon and see there's a very big, wide world out there.
That's right: You upload an object, and the HTTP 200 response includes a header that is the object ID. Your imagination is almost certainly correct: creating a mapping from user-defined key to storage location is really best done by a metadata store so that data doesn't need to be reshuffled with topology changes.

A classic distributed key-value store (such as Dynamo[1]) spends a lot of its design on how to consistently map user-keys to storage locations. Most of these solutions are focused on performance (so avoiding a middle-layer lookup) and accept the tradeoff that data will need to be re-balanced when doing things like expanding the cluster. This isn't an acceptable tradeoff for object stores that have much higher data density (100+ TBs per NIC)

I've messed with ChatGPT before but this weekend I tried to use it seriously to hack together a python demo in the computer vision space. I appreciate it and it's a way better rubber duck for me to talk my ideas through with and generate sample snippets, but hallucination is a problem, and the more intricate and customized the code being developed, the more prone it's been to misinterpretation.

I'm getting some good code starting points, and talking the idea through step by step with a chatbot is really helping me clarify what i need to do, but I've still got API docs open for the libraries it uses because it likes to make up functions, including the core one on which the project logic hinges. (But that's ok, because now I know I just need to write a function that works that way and i can do that).

Pretty cool and helpful! And I can imagine it getting better with GPT-4 or code-specific tooling. But it's generating value on the order of like.. many other SaaS offerings that have come onto the scene that try to ease pain points in coding workflows. Versus value of the sort that upends society and my entire way of life. A great new tool that I should learn about to make rote bits of my activities faster and easier, a story that's a bit more familiar in tech than some of the more breathless stories about AI make it sound.

Hard to say, but other videos I've seen are in areas where things are genuinely murkier; for instance, the status of fine-tuning arguments and the interpretation of quantum mechanics. Not so for this video, which is settled territory (and presents no extraordinary counter evidence). Generally, I do enjoy her off-kilter takes.

But why didn't you?

The speed of light is a fundamental aspect of space-time. Time isn't separate from space-time, it is bound up with space into space-time. And then if you goof the rules, goofy things happen.

If you look down in the cousin comments to yours, I had already posted a comment making it clear that I don't think light propagates instantly (3 minutes to Mars and all that).

It's certainly possible that someone will come up with a theory that allows us to set aside the idea of space-time, but it's not worth worrying about until it happens.

Think of it this way: photons don't have to exist, they might just be a model for the propagation of information. In the reference frame of a photon, propagation is instantaneous.
The information would travel at the speed of light, sorry if I wasn't clear. I don't think FTL travel is possible, but more to my point it isn't desirable since it would use so much energy. Even traveling at 0.9 c would probably be cost prohibitive. This is why I think space travel will be the realm of information streams, not matter.

The reconstructed lifeform would not be a clone. It would probably be housed within a body adapted for its environment. I'm not imagining somehow copying a human at the quantum level.

Mentioned in the OP, but perhaps buried a bit, I am always partial to Chebyshev's Inequality (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebyshev%27s_inequality) since it describes all distributions not just Gaussian. While approximations, they are nice to have when you question the normality of the data and still want to estimate limits - more numbers to remember however, since they are estimates.

It's pretty much looking like anything can be extracted from language. Some harder than others for sure but with enough scale it does look like eventually everything falls. Text only GPT-4 has a pretty solid understanding of space that 3.5 definitely lacks. You can see more thorough experiments in the microsoft agi paper where they test it's ability to track the visual space of a maze.

Maybe, but consider the post above where GPT4 gets confused about the blind man on the other side of the door, while Vicuna-13b seems to figure it out. I accept that GPT4 gave a better answer in this case, but its level of understanding about the scene under different scenarios still seems limited.

This will linger in the courts for years if not a decade, all the while the tech and industry will move on. Think Oracle vs Google case involving Java on Android. Was finally settled but didn't have any impact.

Didn't people say this about calculators too probably?
I think this is a great question we should all think about for ourselves in advance - what does it have to do to convince you it’s actually intelligent.

Because once it does that thing without you having expressly decided that is the goal, it’s very tempting to just move the goal a liiiitle bit further away
> if you aren't coding the solution to the problem, you shouldn't be allowed to define the solution

I think you're on the right track here, but from the wrong direction. You pretty much stated it earlier:

> the only way you can avoid that is by almost annoyingly probing to find the root of problem

I approach this as: if someone brings a solution, mostly ignore it and start asking "why?" until you're back at a root answer like "so my business can make money". I can't even count the number if times someone has proposed a solution where I've done this and not only ended up with something simpler and faster to build, but a better or more complete solution.

This often comes in like "just build a button to export this data to csv", which if you probe is actually "..So I can get it into Excel easier" ... "So I can reformat it to bring to this other system". The result is something like "what if we push the data to their API, that we already have integrated with, once every hour?"

Sometimes it's software, sometimes it's not, mostly it ends up being a mix -- but importantly if you don't ask "why" enough, you'll solve the wrong or at best only an intermediate problem.

Agree on VAT, but MA also has 6.25% sales tax which I didn't consider, that is if you want to start from revenue. So the difference will be less than 19%. Also VAT in Germany is not 19% on everything, there are exemptions and low rate of 7%.

33% is not a marginal rate, it's an effective tax rate (filing jointly) including payroll taxes which are deducted from my wages, I mentioned it. Also we have a state tax in MA which is also included in 33%.

In any case there are other taxes too (e.g. gas excise, vehicle excise, property tax etc.), so I'm not trying to compare the whole tax burden, that would be too much for HN. But regarding payroll taxes -- they are pretty close even if you consider VAT, certainly not a "lot less", it's a myth propagated by politicians. So the question is: we pay (almost) "welfare state" taxes, where is my part of a welfare state?

Yeah, it's possible to modify physical theory in a way that is compatible with our current bounded observations, that allows FTL with higher energies then ever controlled or perhaps ever practical to create.

One of SH's hobbyhorses is that the Universe has no obligation to conform to the most elegant symmetrical theory. (See C/P/T symmetries.)
Love that, thanks!
Self driving, I think is where we got it backwards. To drive correctly we need AGI because 'uncommon' but not 'rare' events are avoided by drivers all the time and in a manner you have to understand how the world works and how people think.

LLMs, especially the multi-modal ones go much further to making self driving possible, that is if we ever get to the point they can incorporate and act on data fast enough. We may still have a hardware problem for some time there.

But on your second point I am with you. There is nothing obvious about at what level emergent behavior occurs in the models. Just keep adding parameters and new things keep popping out with no real means to determine where and when seems kinda sketch as we push these things past the exa scale.
For others, not you because you're a troll, I will clarify:

Glory to Ukraine is a simple formulation of words that cannot be owned by any particular group, and to suggest its a Nazi phrase is russian propaganda. The phrase first came to use amongst students in Kharkiv at the end of the 19th century and wider use during the War of Independence from 1917-1921. All before the Nazi party in Germany was created and before the OUN was created. The phrase was subsequently forbidden for a time by the Soviet regime which also attempted to discredit it for the same reasons they did any idea that opposed them.
Yeah. Like, steelmanning the argument here:

1) Musk has come out in favour of shadowbanning, or "freedom of speach, not freedom of reach", as he once put it. Twitter isn't stopping you from tweeting a link to Substack, it's just sharply limiting the ways people might see that tweet, and trying to scare people away from following it if they do see it. Which in the most technical sense is arguably not blocking links to Substack.

2) It's possible Substack was scraping Twitter. Or much more likely, they've said they were using the Twitter API to embed tweets into newsletters. That's a perfectly allowed and legitimate use of the API, but it's possible some bug on Substack's side may have made the requests look odd or happen at an unusually high rate. Or alternatively, Twitter has made major changes to how the API works recently, and we know they have a skeleton crew these days. Perhaps (due to bugs or lack of resources) they incorrectly flagged Substack's API usage as malicious. If Musk saw a report that (rightly or wrongly) suggested Substack was misuing the API to embed Tweets, he might have assumed that they were using the API to scrape Twitter.

3) Taibbi isn't an employee of Substack, but he has a Substack and paying subscribers, and thus has a very slight financial interest in the health of the Substack platform. (Only slight because Substack makes it quite easy to migrate off their platform, taking your paying subscribers with you.) But that's still more financial interest than people who aren't Musk have in the health of Twitter. So if you squint, Taibbi could almost be seen as biased against Twitter in any conflict with Substack?

So sure, I can almost find a way to imagine Musk's claims as "technically true but intentionally misleading", "almost certainly false but perhaps Musk wasn't intentionally lying", and "Musk had to know he was lying, but perhaps he was morally very slightly correct". But boy do you have to work hard to force his statements into even that ambiguously positive a frame. :)

> Occam’s razor would say he’s trying to stifle competition and picked basically the worst conceivable strategy to do that.

Totally agreed. There's been a flurry of Twitter competitors, but Musk's actions so far have catapulted Substack's Notes into the forefront, which is hilarious for a product from comparatively tiny company that hasn't even launched yet. Spoutible and Post.news have to consider this little spat an existential disaster for them.
Well it would be interesting to see who is using the libraries that we have and what are the book they're renting.

The purpose of a library should be to give access to reading materials to everyone, and I think the reality is that the majority of people do want to read Harry Potter.

I think ultimately what we need is more funding for libraries so that they can get more books, which obviously include hard to find books. In any case, most libraries allow you to request books and they can get these from the network of other state/country libraries. And if they don't have a hard to find book, maybe you could consider donating it to them, libraries take very good care of their hard to find books.
