If I'm not mistaking some Sig P320 models come without a safety switch. However, one could, you know, not keep a round in the chamber, especially if there is no safety switch... So yeah, the users does carry some of the blame.
I think it's pretty unlikely. It's not easy to know what you're buying from Amazon, especially when you're buying a very specific pen with a very specific color in a very specific tip size that's not even sold in your home market. Even if you do find it on Amazon, the rarer items are unlikely to be sold by Amazon and you'll be paying shipping from an unknown seller, maybe even shipped from overseas - and you might as well skip the effort and just buy from Jetpens.
1) It's not possible to fairly compare human intelligence with something that can memorize gigabytes of text and hold it in non-volatile memory.

2) Months ago, in my earliest interactions with ChatGPT, I asked it to solve math problems. It gave me back stuff with LaTeX formatting. Obviously it had, if not these exact problems, similar templates in its training set.

Recently it was shown that GPT is completely incapable of solving Codeforces problems that appeared after it was trained.

Whatever is going on here is interesting but less impressive than it looks.
Unpublishable ? Huh. I think the second is GPT though neither is unpublishable. i think the first is better for the domain - a novel but the second is more literal.

Still though, if you wanted GPT to spit out something like the first or second, you'd only need to ask. "add a literary flair" works (for the first).
Great question, and as a vendor with multiple products that suffer from an SSO tax here is my $.02

As a small team we get constant requests to integrate with a customers SAML provider - eventually we just switched to https://workos.com/pricing We explain to our customers that we have a hard cost for the integration and we pass that cost to them directly. The SSO version of our product and our self signup product do the same thing the same way - it's the compliance or risk management requirement mandated by our customers that require that we sell it the way we do. In our case our SSO or Enterprise version is $125 more expensive than the self signup product. Our money is in the product itself not in the SSO.
I hope that's true. If it's just content farms that are affected, I'd be fine. My concern is that it will happen beyond them.
Both. 3.5 was a non-starter. 4 is improved, in the sense that it produced stylistically correct looking fluff but still offered the kind of substantive legal nonsense that would get a human lawyer disbarred for gross incompetence: it still makes up laws, and cases, and facts.

This is because ChatGPT doesn't have knowledge or understanding of the law, or facts, or the consequences of its output. It just matches linguistic tokens probabilistically. Those who rely on ChatGPT for legal advice will make some human lawyers very rich some day when they have to hire real lawyers to clean up ChatGPT's mistakes.

This isn't to say that AI is incapable of providing legal advice; but it's not going to be an LLM (though it might be a KbLLM).
When people talk about suppression do they mean that their own tweets are suppressed, or the tweets of people they follow are? Or tweets from news organizations are, depending on their content?
Given what she did manage, who could blame her for thinking this?
People here are praying very hard for Twitter to fail. Nearly any social media post nowadays has 50-100 comments predicting Twitter's failure and ranting about Musk. He is living rent-free in many heads now.

Its utterly ludicrous how so many intelligent and rational people are becoming un-hinged whenever Twitter/Musk is mentioned.
Ask HN: Best way to provide access to large data sets
I've been researching methods for exposing large data sets to users of my website, and came across the Atlassian Data Lake [1], and was curious - is this a thing that companies are doing now?

For personal projects and smaller scale non-dynamic data sets I've used Datasette [2], but haven't seen anyone providing anything at scale beyond either an API for accessing data or some sort of periodic file export.

If also passing the scan by a human is feasible to do, and clearly it is because previously that’s what we were doing, and will reduce the error rate even further what’s the argument for not doing it?
Where would you even go? Who‘d even want you? Russia? A life in either one of the few countries that doesn‘t do extraditions to the USA or staying in hiding, always afraid, sounds miserable.
You are arguing that people should share your disdain for Musk's political views. You are not arguing against the claim that this is the only really strong reason why people would want to leave.

Second, libertarian ideals around free speech say that fairly engaging people whose views you disagree with is a better way to change minds than deplatforming them. That is because deplatforming them just encourages them to migrate to cesspools like Truth Social, which then become echo chambers for extremist views. Therefore there are reasons to allow offensive people to remain on a platform other than agreement with their offensive views.

Speaking personally, I am firmly of the belief that the obvious political censorship applied to social networks, including by the previous management of Twitter, is one of the CAUSES of the extremism that lead to the Jan 6 insurrection. You might dislike that there are people who think your children are a disease. But surely you'd dislike it rather more if we slid into an authoritarian dictatorship where people like that are the ones in charge. Therefore it is worth looking past your good reasons for taking offense, and asking seriously what is most likely to keep violent extremist networks forming that are in a position to do just that.

Note that multiple countries in Latin America copied the US Constitution's idea of separation of powers. A common pattern is that they wound up as authoritarian regimes after a powerful executive solved gridlock through declaring a state of emergency. It could happen here. In fact, it nearly did.

And finally, I find the comment that you're responding to far more in the best traditions of Hacker News than your reply. Hacker News has a tradition of polite and reasoned discussion of controversial positions between people of diverse points of view. I would rather keep that tradition alive, rather than implying that people who disagree with you are horrible people who might not mind your children being eradicated with fire.
"Problems" are interpreted as underlying "logics" that may not be evident. As in, "Why is this happening? // Because of this hidden structure/process/mechanism(...) H". Reaching solutions is seen as dependent on deeper understanding.
I would argue that any company with 3 or more employees needs an SSO.

Back in the day SAML was the only game in town, SSO was an enterprise feature. Nowadays with oAuth/OIDC, this is a no brainer and you can get a basic setup going with plain Google Workplace (Gsuite/Gapps/...) without the need for anything else.

Yet SSO keeps being bundled in the premium feature list of most of the SaaS products out there, costing 10x to 100x more per user.

14$ sounds pity, but when you take it in the equation of "price per slot * total slots * products * 12 months", you can get to some serious numbers even for a small 10 people company.

Notice I said "slots". That's because the nasty trick lots of SaaS do nowadays to boost their profits. They will auto provision a slot when a new user onboards, but when that user account gets removed (with or without SSO), they will keep charging you for the slot until an admin goes and reduces the slot amount by 1. This is something that AccessOWL can help with, I suppose.
I would not seek perfection from a Shortcut. A 90% solution is commonly achievable though. I shared an archive.ph one in another comment.

As for Reader mode, I think you just need to go to the site again, hit "aA", "Website settings", and disable "Use Reader mode automatically".

Thanks for trying it out! I'd love to hear more - we use auth0's login UX, thought it would be a smooth experience for most. Did you want to try without signing up? I understand the frustration... but we made it work this way so we can store designs under the customer's account, so they can view it later.
yeah on the VR side apparently im supposed to undertake a training regimen to be able to tolerate it without feeling sick. this is on top of the already massive commitment of wearing a giant helmet on my head. of course none of this is mentioned on the product page. (to be fair sony has a very generous return policy on these, probably for that reason)

it's unfortunate because VR GT7 was really cool until i started feeling horrible, but the sickness was very strong like from riding on a spinning carnival ride. i had to lie down the rest of the evening each time it happened.
It looks like bog standard webshit.
Things like Google Workspace et al. make it super easy to use SSO (ok a bit difficult but usable) even for smaller companies and honestly it should be used by basically everyone as a core security practice. It's annoying that companies charge out the rear end for a basic security feature. It'd be like charging to let people use 2FA/security keys.. just super stupid/arrogant.
PEP 684 – A Per-Interpreter GIL Accepted
I don't work at OpenAI but as a Systems Engineer it's pretty easy to conceptualize how they'd do it.

- Instead of serving up one 175B parameter model, ChatGPT is probably a collection of smaller models that classify the input and then send it off to an optimized model to reduce the memory footprint for that task, such as classification, summarization, coding, and so on.

- Faking the memory from the chat. Context size = compute time. If they can "compress" a conversation by summarizing previous context, it will likely reduce the tokens they need to generate for each response. It definitely feels like they are doing something like this, as the chat gets longer and the model is less able to recall context from the chat.

- Model quantization: This is being heavily used in the OSS world and I'd be shocked if OpenAI weren't trying something similar. You can use quantized models without losing much accuracy and further reduce the memory footprint.

- Heavy use of caching. If I were them I'd be caching like crazy. There are a lot of clever tricks with caching variants, so users don't realize they're looking at a cached response. You could take the cached response from the big LLM, then using a simple LLM to reword it so users think they're still talking to the big, smart model.

- All the standard stuff in a BigCo stack (Containers, some kind of IaC, CI/CD stacks, testing environments, various types of databases or caching software, service discovery, observability tooling, etc) And probably a shitload of glue code that makes the magic happen behind the scenes.
> Parking lots essentially switch from random access (which requires expensive unoccupied 'lanes') into a slowly snaking space-filling curve.

Why would they? You still need to get the car to unpark itself when the owner needs it?

Oh, you mean everybody shares cars with everybody? What about letting sections of that "snake" just drive around, stopping at different spots and let people enter and leave? And perhaps let them walk around inside? Congratulations, you've just re-invented public transit.

This is similar to the "Amazon problem," where manufacturers can earn a higher margin by selling direct.

>The question about any feature they add is “what does it do about that situation?”

The answer is the same in the cases of Amazon & Substack: generating sales isn't free, and in all likelihood the platform can do it cheaper than you can. Take the $200k writer who pays $20k to Substack annually. Either Substack can generate 166 subscriptions ($10/mo) annually so it's worth the money, or you move. (That's almost correct: if you are a writer, it may be worth it to you to let Substack continue to own this piece so that you don't have to run a business. There's a lot of value in being able to focus on thinking and writing and not SEO and ad placement.)

Make Something Wonderful, Steve Jobs in his own words
I don’t understand how the current strategy can be expected to work. There are two vaccines: IPV and OPV. IPV does not cause outbreaks, but it does not induce sterilizing immunity [0]. So polio (harmless vaccine polio or dangerous polio, vaccine-derived or otherwise) can circulate in IPV-vaccinated populations.

But the US hasn’t administered OPV since 2000 [1]. So polio can circulate in the US without causing symptoms! Anywhere with a sufficient population of people under 23 can be a reservoir of polio.

I don’t understand how the overall strategy can be expected to eradicate polio. Even if the nOPV vaccine were perfect, any reintroduction of polio from any source (wild, old type 2 vaccine-derived, nOPV-derived) could circulate in the US and then be reintroduced elsewhere from here.

I don’t get it. Presumably the US should start administering nOPV just to control its own outbreak.

This story makes me happy that justice works some times.
> humans still have to check the output

how often is the “have to check output” more work than just doing the task at hand without the LLM in the first place?
I suppose we can generalize my statement too. I imagine that most courses at UT have fewer than 50k students enrolled.
Mother Teresa was a pretty terrible person, she's not someone you want to hold up as an example of a good person.
SpaceX used plans and research originally performed by NASA, which NASA was unable to implement due to congressional interference.

And Paypal's tech and business model that you benefited from was from Thiel's X.com. Paypal used literally none of Musk's tech or business model. Musk did such a bad job running Paypal that they fired him for cause (which is one of the reasons that Musk is always trying to fire his own executives for-cause).
Too theoretical to be pivotal. Years ago we had results about how all sorts of learning was reducible to kernel SVM and that drove a big fad for kernel SVM research at NeurIPS and other hot conferences. Nobody cares about SVM anymore. So we don't have a good enough grasp on the theory of AI to predict what is going to be a breakthrough. Only rigorous empirical results convince.

Second, the idea of meta-learning gradient descent, or that some learning algorithms can do it, isn't new or specific to Transformer architectures.
It’s a word processor. Notepad is a text editor. They are not the same thing.

So you're saying that production capacity of electric cars is going to slow down their growth? EV production capacity increased by ~5 million per annum last year (4 million of that in China).

Current rate of production growth means 60% EV's in 2027.
Private Equity and Its Hospitals
Have you tried kagi? I‘m finding it better than ddg and often on paar with G.
x = foo01();
y = foo02(x);
z = foo03(x, y);

Contrast with:

foo03(foo01(), foo02(foo01()) );

x, y, and z were named by humans, giving them domain meaning, whereas a debugger would give the second one no name or machine-made names for intermediate state. (Here, z, y, and z have no meaning because it's a foo-bar example, but in practice they'd have better names.)

The first is also often easier to read than the second, at least to my eyes. I know devs who can read the second quickly, but I don't think it's the norm. The LINQ "dot style" can be a little easier to read, but has similar problems.
Well, it means it could go either way. Which with respect to Google and search is quite a novelty, as Google has been on top for 20 years, without a serious competitor for most of that time.
Exactly. People are already occupying public resources for their private luxury (in the form of parking on public street in front of their house), nobody would think twice just letting the thing circle. Especially in places where parking costs money, which will then only be a thing for people who can't afford self-driving add-ons or need to charge the thing.

It's all a matter of how much throughput you need. A queuing system can handle, in the same hardware, orders of magnitude more than a traditional SQL database that writes rows to disk in a page-oriented fashion.

If your load is, say, a few hundred writes/second, stick with the database only, and it will be much simpler.
I've worked on ultrasound systems that definitely worked this way, not just in theory but also in practice. Bandpass filter 20–40 kHz, sample directly at 40 kHz (giving 20 kHz bandwidth). No mixer step involved, but your spectrum becomes inverted (e.g. if you do an FFT, a 22 kHz tone will be in the 18 kHz bin, not the 2 kHz bin as you would perhaps expect).
This is just what 95% of websites look like these days, they both could be demo pages from the react or angular doc's.

The fact that Musk is known to be thin-skinned and prone to internet outbursts explains why he threw such a tantrum.

It depends on how you're measuring "hard". In the case of apartment buildings, you could argue that's harder because it's one entity that has to pay for 1000 installations. In homes, each entity has to pay for a single installation.

The cost of 1000 installations is extreme (especially if you have to tear up concrete and asphalt). Certainly more than any but perhaps higher-income housing can, or will, afford.

That is an ABL or Automatic Brightness Limiter and it’s one of the things that’s messing Lunar’s brightness Sync algorithm because the max brightness is constantly changing.

It might be possible to disable from the monitor hidden service menu, if you can find a way to enter it. But it will also greatly decrease the lifespan of the diodes as OLEDs are not made to go so long with high brightness and heat.

If the monitor does not provide such an option, there is no way to circumvent this as the function is embedded in the monitor firmware.

It's free for the user up to a point, but it costs OpenAI a lot of money.

Apple is a hardware vendor, so commoditization of the software while finding more market segments is definitely something that'd benefit them.

OTOH, if they let OpenAI become the unrivaled leader of AI that end up being the next Google, they end up losing on a topic they wanted to lead for long time (Apple has invested quite a lot in AI, and the existence of a Neural Engine in Apple CPUs isn't an accident)

Here's the quote from the article, which is very short:

> Prosecutors had attempted to argue that Holmes did pose a flight risk, revealing that her partner had bought her a one-way flight to Mexico shortly before the verdict was returned. While Davila called the travel plans a “bold move” and Holmes’s failure to cancel the ticket post-conviction a “perilously careless oversight”, he accepted her assertion that she was not trying to flee the country.
Sounds like it could be a component of the back end for either one.

A complete feature flag system would also need a business-friendly front-end that product managers could use to roll out features and track how many people were using each one. Possibly an A/B testing component as well. And a way of alerting when a flag has been 100% active for X days so it could be removed from the code. Etc.

A complete authorization system would need a front-end focused on understanding who had which capabilities, assigning capabilities to users and categories of users, and probably some sort of capability grouping and inheritance mechanism. Possibly an impersonation ability for the support team. Etc.
