I can't see the point. Auto vectorization and rearchitect to pass binary values (struct in_addr) rather than text.

Only naive system architecture do dumb things like grow huge logs as unstructured, difficult-to-managed files only to expend vast sums to reparse what was lost. (But the splunk people will gladly take your $$$.)

If you deal in huge volumes of data, optimize storage and processing of that for its purpose rather than nibble on the edges of a firehose. Forget laudable and virtuous compatibility for simplicity and efficiency at scale.
This is also why cost plus contracts are a disaster for governments, and the US is moving away from them slowly.
A looong time ago, I worked at a company that compiled shareware CD-ROMs and sold them when modem speeds were still slow for most people. We tested all the games on Windows (95 I think) before they went on to the CD.

Unfortunately, one game had a splash screen with silly pro-nazi comments that ONLY appeared when the game ran on Windows NT.

We got a call from a "current affairs" show that some poor mother bought the CD-ROM for her sick child and imagine the horror and damage done, blah blah blah.

We said, "How old did you say the child was?"

The CD-ROM also had Doom on it, too, and a clear MA15+ rating on the front - several years older than the poor child.

We said, "Yes, we'll be happy for an interview."

Never heard back.
I agree with them. It does feel like Google could match OpenAI if they didn't have a gigantic brand with tons of reputation on the line.
Do you have any specific examples of devices with bug-free firmwares that I can inspect?
The gist is (which the support engineer referred to as the internal RFC): instead of stripping `cache-control` `s-maxage` / `stale-while-revalidate` values, we should support Targeted HTTP Cache Control[1] (i.e.: `cdn-cache-control` and `vercel-cache-control`).

Vercel strips them because (1) at the time this RFC didn't exist and (2) most of the time you we found customers don't want to cache on the browser side or proxying CDNs, which makes purging and reasoning about cache staleness very difficult.

Another example there is the default `cache-control: public, max-age=0, must-revalidate`. Without that, browsers have very unintuitive caching behavior for dynamic pages.

Customers want to deploy and see their changes instantly. They want to their customers "go to our blog to see the news" and not have to second guess or fear the latest content will be there.

I appreciate Max's feedback and we'll continue to improve the platform.

> GPT is great until you realize 50% of its output is a totally manufactured confabulation with zero connection to reality.

GPT-4 might not be as smart as people but it's performing as well as humans on many kinds of AP tests, medical certification tests, bar exams, SATs, GREs, etc. You can see it on the tech report and the sparks of agi papers. I guess the author thinks those tests are bad, or he didn't read about those results, or he thinks those papers lied about the results, or he is being willfully misleading, I don't know which one.

I don't know of the author (maybe he is famous or not idk) but it looks like maybe he is promoting some competitor to GPTs "I’m proposing a new machine learning meta-architecture for learning forward models. The architecture is called Predictive Vision Model (PVM)."
What is the actual perf benefit of userfaultd (e.g. for write protection)? It sounds interesting but its unclear to me why it would be any faster than a signal handler. Is it just a simpler code path within the kernel? Or is it that the hardware is configured to directly jump to a user space handler without any kernel intervention?
If I can continue the nitpickery, plenty of computer algorithms are deterministic but also pseudorandom--including Markov chains. Only when the randomness is outside your control are things truly non-deterministic. A simulation with many possible outcomes is still deterministic if you get to choose the "seed".

In other words, statistical permutations are deterministic if you control all the input variables (in terms of computer science; physics is another story).
Spending $100b on net losses is too much for such an outcome.
(In case it’s not clear, I’m not actually a fan of illicit drug use. I view this proposal as roughly about as dystopian as the current practice of safe injection sites where trained professionals watch users inject whatever tainted drugs they bring with them, and try to treat overdoses without knowing what the person put in their system. I see it as proposing Brave New World vs the current 1984.)
She also pointed out that causality is weird in quantum mechanics, so it could break at the big scale too!

I would only give this half marks. Telling the blind man to feel the letters is a distraction. The letters might not even be on the blind man’s side of the glass. Plus it can be hard to make out letters by feel alone, especially when they’re large.

It also never actually explicitly tells the blind man to pull to open the door! What if he can’t figure out what the letters say and gets frustrated? That would be awkward and embarrassing, something people try to avoid if they want to help someone.
Hmm, this is like saying "The '69 Mustang can run on electric power, if you replace the engine."..
A cdn is largely a value prop to reduce latency for static web pages, so that someone coming from a link get a page load asap. Once you have a dynamic or hybrid app, the value diminishes rather quickly, I assume. Potentially it could become negative if you have different points of failures and cache inconsistencies.
Sadly all too common even with popular languages. I ask my dad why he never taught me Spanish and he just "didn't really think about it". Such a wasted opportunity for free goods.
> If a drug that literally turns you into a melting, oozing zombie with flesh dripping off your bones doesn't make you find a different drug - not even quit, I mean, find a different drug to get fucked up on - I think that person is suicidal.

I think you have not even the most basic understanding of addiction, or (perhaps most relevant to this case) specifically withdrawal. If you are addicted, you can’t simply choose a substitute, and particularly you can’t avoid withdrawal from one drug just by choosing another, except for some very special cases.

Don't see software or hardware easter eggs much anymore.

For startups I touch, I leave interesting and dynamic 404 pages on internal proxy servers and internal apps. :)

Or not even that, just to avoid withdrawal symptoms.

I did the same about 8 years into my career. I've been here for about 4 years now and I don't ever see myself leaving. I get to work on neat stuff, the leadership is genuinely nice and open to anything. I feel like a human here and I can see myself being friends with most everyone at the company. We have about 45 people.

Those tools are affordable until the company making the tool needs to start actually making a profit and they raise their prices or they decrease their LOS. Then the tools become an expensive risk and the price increases end up percolating into your own startup. If you raise prices to compensate, you'll affect your growth. That's how startups go under.

In a ZIRP world using the tools of other startups makes sense but the stability of the FAANGs and their in-house tooling means they can weather much choppier economic conditions than the equivalent startup.
> I'm just saying, would being an alcoholic of rock-bottom spirits be that much more expensive?

It doesn’t matter because you can’t just push-button swap chemical dependencies.

Try, and you’re likely to end up dead or addicted to both the one you tried to switch from and the one you tried to switch to.
Sales reps come from the street fighter mindset.
If you hire people like that, they have to be given external targets to fight. Otherwise much energy is drained off in internal fights.

Do you have a link to this tax incentive? When did it come in?
Have you got any info on this? Last I heard EVs were getting made even more expensive due to the luxury car tax. (Which, yes you get a partial discount on for EVs, but even still, a reduced additional tax is still an additional tax)
One category of idea is a tool-in-a-toolbox idea. Many on this page is of that type. A lot of ideas in economics is this, for example. They become thinking tools that are easily synthesized into the brain as they are super easy conceptual ideas. So as you go about your day and come across a problem, your brain can pull from that toolbox to better solve the problem.

I love sites full of wisdom like this. Sometimes there’s a tool buried deep in my toolbox that my brain forgot I had and this brings it back to the surface. And sometimes there’s a new tool I can grok/incorporate in seconds. And inevitably there will be a tool I don’t care about or agree with and simply discard it. Big win for very minimal investment of time.

This is prohibition with extra steps. Granted, you deal with the problem of tainted drugs. But that isn’t the chief issue, and creating a giant hole in the budget aimed exclusively at that harm seems political suicide.

I mostly use the OpenAI APIs out of some laziness on my part: super easy to integrate with my code, inexpensive, large 3rd party dev community.

All that said, I love what Hugging Face is doing with open models and software. I made a note to check out their licensing however, based in your comment.
Yeah it’s not good, I’ve found GPT4 to give me better recommendations
Unless I'm misunderstanding you: it's not about dev or prod. It's that you want Vercel to cache a dynamic page, but not your visitor. That allows you to be in control of the ship: if you purge the CDN, you don't risk a customer having a stale page.

I've seen a lot of customers get burn by sending `max-age` as a way of getting their CDN to cache, not realizing they're inadvertently caching on users' machines. Sometimes it's a seemingly harmless "5 minutes", but that can be damaging enough for rapidly changing pages (imagine breaking news on a homepage).
You dont, yet I think. I registered for a hobbyist account and requested Alpha, hopefully that will lead to me getting access to the Portal to request AMD64

This reminds me a bit of the relationship between the inventors of various steam engines, and the then fledging science of thermodynamics that sprang up to explain them.
Language is pretty foundational to culture. When you lose a language you lose more than a way of speaking, but also the subtleties and emotions behind the "shape" of certain words, not to mention those words that reflect something so unique to that culture that you can't really translate them. The death of a language is the death of a world.

Saying there should be fewer spoken languages is frankly a very unempathetic thing to say.
But your proposal doesn't stop that. It criminalizes them telling anyone and sweeps it under the rug like you cleaning your room at 11 years old.
Like if Mars is reachable by travel though space in one minute, that reachable Mars is inextricably in the past of the Earth that you start from.

Nope, you are mixing up philosophy with science and math.

If you don't travel through space, then you literally have the ability to jump between points in space-time and are sort of obviously traveling through time.

Nope, we're talking about moving through space
I’m surprised people are responding talking about being more visible in a small company. The best thing about moving to a small company (for me) is knowing everyone, even if I don’t necessarily like everyone. I’m on a first-name basis with the entire org and we can all celebrate an achievement together by going out to a restaurant plus drinks. We have board game nights at the office (we’re barely over 20 people).

These types of connections aren’t anything like when I was in a huge multinational and was close with a handful of people. (Not everyone wants to participate in the group activities and that’s fine too.) (Also, again, I have this luxury because I don’t have dependents. I know this calculus doesn’t work for everyone.)
All I am seeing is a ton of reasons to build an absolute boat load of cheap nuclear power. None of these processes are even remotely possible without abundant essentially free energy.
"People not being sure if she genuinely made a deal with the Devil, is just more proof that she is a witch."
Yes, the person to whom you are responding appears to be mixing up "publicly available" (made available to general public) with "public domain" (not protected by copyright).

IANAL but, I think, as far as US law goes, they have the right conclusion for the wrong reasons. Unsupervised training is an automated process, and the US Copyright Office has said [0] that the product of automated processes can't be copyrighted. While that statement was focused on the output of running an AI model, not the output of its training process (the parameters), I can't see how – for a model produced by unsupervised training – the conclusion would be any different.

This is probably not the case in many non-US jurisdictions, such as the EU, UK, Australia, etc – all of which have far weaker standards for copyrightability than the US does. It may not apply for supervised training – the supervision may be sufficient human input for copyrightability even in the US. It may not apply for AI models trained from copyrighted datasets, where the copyright owner of the dataset is claiming ownership of the model – that is not the case for OpenAI/Google/Meta/etc, who are all using training datasets predominantly copyright by third parties, but maybe Getty Images will build their own Stable Diffusion-style AI based on their image library, and that might give them a way of copyrighting their model which OpenAI/Google/Meta/etc lack.

It is always possible that US Congress will amend the law to make AI parameters copyrightable, or introduce some sui generis non-copyright legal protection for them, like the semiconductor mask work rights which were legislated in response to court rulings that semiconductor masks could not be copyrighted. I think the odds are reasonably high they will in fact do that sooner or later, but nobody knows for certain how things will pan out.

> Between lower quality of life and some of the highest tax burdens in the US

Oregon isn't even in the top half of states by overall tax burden.
Lean = Fast
The burden of proof goes the other way. I've never heard a convincing argument that AGI will most likely lead to human extinction. I don't think we have enough information to make strong predictions either way. That doesn't mean we shouldn't put more resources than we currently are into mitigating AI risk. It does mean that we should be highly skeptical of doomsday claims. I posted another comment in this thread explaining why I think his claims aren't justifiable.

Edit: the idea that you can pause AI research until you solve alignment presupposes that alignment is orthogonal to the implementation details of AGI. You need to factor in the risk that pausing will hinder the necessary breakthroughs to actually implement alignment effectively.
Bullshit. It’s expensive because they want to exploit whales.

I can buy chinese made lego sets that cost £15. An official set would be hundreds or thousands. It’s the same pieces.
I think the reason IF is often successful is simply because it indirectly results in reduced caloric intake simply by cutting out what would have been useless meals/snacks. For example it just encourages you to eat less by eliminating midnight snacks, popcorn during movie night, or useless bowls of cereal at breakfast.
Does any CDN support stale-while-revalidate?

I know Cloudflare doesn't. I thought Vercel did but apparently not.
They violated the school's rules on disrupting events. The SLS dean had sent out an email that day reminding them of those rules. The DEI dean (lower ranking than the SLS dean) did indicate her pride at what was happening, which could be viewed as endorsing the behavior. But they were put on notice in writing, that day, by the senior dean.

To be clear, they could not have been punished for violating any laws. But the school could have punished them, and the state bars to which they will be applying could deny them admission based on their behavior. This would have a serious impact on their ability to earn money and/or repay loans.

I tend to think the only reasonable and scientific viewpoint is that it’s possible to make sense of everything. Anything else is defeatist.
Unfortunately, I do think it refutes your point. You stated the following based on someones post of "everybody should try meditation":

>Here is why it is toxic: for people who those things don't work, or for whom the
proposed solution is beyond their ability, it's a short step to blaming them for
their problems and writing them off.

It seems very illogical to be on a recommendation engine of a site if its difficult for you to to reason with the recommendations posted and/or the direct feedback that people also post, relating to the topic at hand. I pointed out that this is what HN was based on. I disagree that it is toxic for someone else to make a recommendation, based on their perspectives, to try something on a site like HN.

If you had possible insight I would like to understand two things:

1. Why is someone one a site like HN if they aren't the intended audience?

2. What value would they derive from the site, presumably knowing their own mental health and that any recommendation they could read would be toxic to them because they may not be able to achieve the desired outcome?
I guess that's why so many SaaS startups have a policy of "you have to pay for our software but we never pay for software".
I was having a related discussion with my wife about why our nephews weren’t taught Spanish as a first language (we live in Texas, their dad is bilingual). Frankly, having English as your first language gives you a much higher advantage in life in the current zeitgeist. There’s no incentive to learn RandomLanguage first, but there is every incentive to learn English first.
My general impression, possibly out of ignorance, has been that there have always been lots of these and people (read: me) were just unaware of them. Some, like this (and "88" on usernames) are sometimes (often?) legitimate but have also been used as dog whistles... and fascism stains everything it touches.

I think I'd be more worried about my job in a 10000 person company than a 300 person company.

If Im in a 300 person company I'm probably one of 40-60 devs, and most of my peers know me and have met me. If I'm a senior dev, there's a good chance I'm on first name basis with the executive team, and they know what I work on and the impact I have. There's a lot better chance of me being able to demonstrate my value and avoid being let go if cuts are needed.

At a 10000 person company I'm basically guaranteed to just be an employee number next to a salary number in a spreadsheet, when it comes time for cuts.
This is so important. Over the years as someone who's constantly trying new note-taking mind mappy things, interacting with my own thoughts in the past, it took an embarrassingly long time to realize that one of the the fundamental differences between me and the computer is that I require multiple writes.

(The other is that graphy mind-mappy tools on the computer are often pointless, because this is the thing that human brains are WAY BETTER AT than the computer.

What the computer is good at is "perfect recall of specifics in the form of words")

In consulting work I find myself asking the question, “is this limitation technical or is it a business decision?” If it’s technical I can offer solutions or workarounds, but if it’s to avoid an entry level product eating the high end version’s lunch, I won’t waste my time.
It’s this simple, something that a surprising number of intelligent people fail to grasp. Apple was rarely the first to it, they just did it well.

Addiction is a mental and physical health issue. Why on earth are the police involved in the first place? That's not what they're for.

But a lot of what you're describing is literally the Portuguese model, which you can find out if you read the article. They can require you go to rehab depending on if it's your first time or if you're addicted. It's just not a criminal matter, it's a public health matter. Which means you have less stigma, you avoid prison, a record - and you are more likely to ask for help.

We know for a fact prison is a place you can get drugs, and going there leaves you more likely to be addicted, not less, because you look to those same drugs as an escape from your prison situation.
