The staggering pride of HNers never ceases to astonish me.

Doesn’t understand AI? While he

- deploys one of the highest capacity inference platforms on the planet

- deploys the most advanced AI self-driving platform

- lands rockets with automation that exceeds the capabilities of traditional control systems

He’s probably forgotten more practical AI expertise than anyone in this conversation is ever going to know…
I'm not sure about the plan (that takes time of course), but playing styles are quite different.

I as a beginner try not to give my bishops for horses, but more advanced players adjust it to the strategy they want to persue.

Some people have more experience in open, others closed games.

There are lots of other simplifications beginners have to make to be able to not get totally lost.
There is nothing logical about assuming that a high profile person only in town for a few days would get stabbed multiple times randomly in the middle of a wealthy area at 2:30am on a Monday. It can happen, but no assumptions about it are logical given that most violent crimes are committed by people who know the victim and San Francisco is not remarkable in its rate of violent crime.

>See? We are smarter than all of those people

The only person I see doing that here is you. It wasn't logical, it was emotional based on preconceptions about the crime in the city.
New rockets rarely launch on their first launch day. There will likely be at least a few days of delays.
What’s a plausible example of what an explanation of “how it actually works” would be? Like even a wrong example, but following the rough syntax or shape of what a correct answer would look like?

It doesn’t seem all that different to me than the CS textbook examples of simple neural networks that recognize images with a very low resolution grid of black-or-white pixels.

Is there even a “how it actually works” beyond how the basic physical mechanisms work? Perhaps, but it doesn’t seem like we even know what kind of “language of explanation” to look for beyond the normal reductive physical explanation.
> The devil is in the details

Only if you care about those details. Almost no one does.

In almost any conversation, everyone does in fact know what intelligence, porn, god and beauty are. Yes, all those ideas are fuzzy at the borders, but we almost never need to resolve them in detail when talking about them. When we do, then yes, things get tricky and there's a lot of disagreement - but at the end of the day, as the phrase I once read on the Internet goes, it all has to add up to normality. You can still work with fuzzy, casual concepts, even though you can't define them precisely.
Panspermia is not cheating. If we believe abiogenesis to be vanshingingly unlikely on any one planet, panspermia paralelises discovery of a solution.
Here is a 2-Pager document we have created to show potential customers. Please give me feedback on this as well if possible.

The neural networks are for the evaluation at each node, traversing the game tree is done by using the NN to evaluate how good the position is on the tree’s nodes; how it traverses the tree is minimax with a-b pruning.

In my original comment I didn’t mention pruning or other heuristics like estimating the value of intermediate states because it’s more of an optimization (a very important one!) that doesn’t affect the theory very much.
If only there was an HTTP header that would tell all websites which languages the user prefers.
If you want to get better at recognizing dreams one way is practicing a few times a day to check "am I dreaming".
The trick there is that Manitoulin Island (the island whose lake Mindemoya is an island in) is the largest freshwater island in the world.
Nothing. Fast til your evening meal.
Yeah, I constantly heard people at work complaining about whatever minute changes broke their ultra-customized workflows. Past tense cuz they got laid off.
If you're just copying someone else's code, whether from StackOverflow or an LLM, you haven't made yourself a 10x developer. You may have found a shortcut through the boilerplate and repetitive code that occurs across many applications, but have you learned anything? Do you understand the code? Could you write it yourself? Using a forklift doesn't make me a 10x weight lifter. Finishing a paint-by-numbers canvas doesn't make me an artist.

Learning programming languages and writing the trivial bits doesn't describe the hard part of programming: domain knowledge and skillfully translating complex business requirements into working code.
This was bound to happen eventually. Marketplace that makes money on people buying any stuff not just good stuff and selling sales to publishers needs stuff to have good reviews regardless of its goodness to drive the sales it's justifying its cut of the revenue for.

It's a risky play because a platform where the reviews are high signal drives sales based on that alone. You can only nudge so much before expectations adjust and would-be buyers have to turn to 3rd party reviews which adds friction.

I imagine it's incredibly tempting to heavily moderate reviews instead of letting gamers do what they do and meme like it's a Reddit thread but that kind of thing is actually fairly high signal albeit low seriousness. Silly comments about having 1k hours in the game but not recommending actually does tell you something real about the game.
It's really more "by physics." You can pick how you want to run a tungsten filament and end up with either a long life bulb, or a high(er) efficiency bulb, but not both. The ~1000 hour goal was, at the time, an attempt to optimize the total cost of lighting - bulb and power combined. As your bulb lasts longer, you get rather fewer lumens per watt.

A typical 1000 hour rated 60W incandescent (an old one, not the new halogen "efficient" ones - 28% less power for 28% less light) will put out around 850 lumens. I have a 20k hour rated bulb with the same output - but it pulls 75W. Over the lifetime of the bulb, that increased power use is quite a bit more expensive than replacing bulbs would be - but they're designed for places that are harder to access, or that are high vibration (typically, long life incandescents also have more supports, so they work better in higher vibration environments).

There's no magical tungsten filament, 60W, 850 lumen bulb that will last 10k+ hours. It's simply not possible within the normal constraints.

This new tech, though... I'm very excited by it!

Btw I wasn't favoring either side in the flamewar, just doing the standard mod thing of asking people not to break HN's rules so badly.
So entirely different experience for me. So 5 years ago I travel to California. Out of all the cars I picked a crappy GM car when there were better cars to pick from the rental lot, why, because I had my iPhone with navigation.

Every time I rented cars since I would always make sure it had apple CarPlay so I could drive any with a familiar experience.

Now today, my car has wireless CarPlay. My experience goes like this, I get in my car, turn it on, my head unit loads apple CarPlay instantly and I have Waze running which I like for speed camera notifications on new roads and my music and playlists instantly accessible.

It’s seamless, instant and I don’t touch my phone it stays in my pocket.

I would never consider a car with out either android auto or CarPlay. It’s mandatory for me and yes I miss out of heads up display of directions, but then I don’t have to pay an additional subscription to traffic info, or pay an update fee for new maps.
Well, that's not a small island.
Say what you will about Elon Musk, but this is the kind of human creativity that should know no bounds. Here's getting very excited about the species' chase for other worlds.
There is an API for multimodal computer vision and visual reasoning/VQA, and it's available, just not for normies. It's exclusively for their test group and then the Be My Eyes project at https://www.bemyeyes.com/.
All these people are playing with fire. Nima was jailed twice: 1) DUI 2) illegally selling switch blades. Nima's sister (married) had an affair with Bob Lee (also married).
“leaving the platform vulnerable to foreign manipulation.”

I thought Twitter is a global platform? If so, what could be a “foreign manipulation”?

The approach of Musk is clearly less moderation. Tying the layoff of staff with more trolls is IMO somewhat misleading because it’s not the root cause of the issue, merely a collateral consequence of the new policy.
People's Open Network – community-owned internet
People who work for him may well be experts. That doesn’t mean he knows anything at all about it himself.

Musk didn’t do any of the things you listed, companies he has ownership in did.
Agree, why not show the plane? In this world of fake news I do not trust reports that do not show even the most basic of things.
And crucially more room to absorb shock.
Region-beta Paradox
I think it's pretty common for guards to be persuaded by prisoners to give them extra privileges based on built-up friendship, empathy, or attraction. Another example would be whistleblowers or ideological spies, who are persuaded by the contents of secret documents to leak those documents against obviously their official instructions. On a day to day level humans ignore instructions constantly, for eg I've almost never seen people enforce a 'no tailgating' policy at a doorway, despite constantly being told. The people observe their environment and the non-effects of others breaking that rule, as well as reason about common sense situations like people they know well, then simply ignore the tailgating rule.
This is really excellent and just a great example of the niche side of the internet I miss so dearly!
i mean isnt this true for pretty much everything from a user's perspective?
Lars has written about his interactions with Linus before in this article: https://liw.fi/linux20/

I fondly remember these lines:

That summer, I re-connected with my fellow students from the university,
including Linus. One of the students a few years older than Linus and me,
Patrik, had a sauna in the building he lived, and he booked it once a week
for the group of us. You perverts who think the word sauna is a synonym for
brothel can stop imagining orgies: in Finland, saunas are for bathing,
medication, even meditation, not sex.

There’s a semi-famous picture of Linus, looking naked, drinking beer. The
picture was taken at Patrik’s, by a fellow student, Stina, and Linus is
wearing trousers, but it was a hot summer day, so he didn’t have his shirt
on. No orgies. Really.
I don't remember the exact mechanics, but Risk has cards that each player holds. If nothing else you'd probably want to see how many of them each player holds to plan the next move.
Everyone got murdered or tired of tripping over passed out junkies.
You have a bullet point about compliance / hosting concerns. I'm curious, do you have any idea how many of your customers care about that?

Do you have any concern that a customer is going to look under the covers and re-implement your product? I would guess the overwhelming majority of customers are going to be happy to just consume the API and go about their own business, but some products attract copycats, and handing out code / build artifacts makes that easier.

The tradeoff you've made makes a ton of sense if you're not concerned about copycats.
As always, there's a relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/1495/
I even have only wired CarPlay and haven’t had any of the problems more than once or twice. For connection failures, I had to de-lint the Lightning port (easy to forget when you charge wirelessly) and I’ve forgotten the phone in the car when something interrupted my routine.
As a moderator of r/sf, that's simply not true. We just want balance.
Ah, ok, so Minmax/Alpha-Beta to traverse the game tree and NN to evaluate, my mistake (apparently I am the one who should visit the link I provided :)
One year's worth of power generation.
Maybe he's trying to protect himself from a totalitarian dictatorship (that can do whatever it wants) and not from a democratically elected government, whose authority is constrained by independent courts, free media, fair elections and so on.
Sorry to hear about it. There are a lot of different ways to handle this. I recommend picking a couple of each of:

- A. Techniques focusing on the circumstances: It's not your fault. You have shared, objective evidence that shows that testing circumstances are a problem and that you know your stuff. So, for these techniques, you take an objective view and go to your profs and say "look, here's the situation, I need help, what can be done?" Keep an open mind, and see what they say. (Please don't stop with just one person--Ask a variety of profs, ask department leadership, ask around) I've seen some great examples where students were accommodated really well.

- B. Techniques focusing on you: Check for a resource lab that can help you out. For example, test-taking courses. These treat the test-taking process itself as a skill that can be mastered. You can even find these on Youtube. Some schools also offer self-hypnosis courses. These also exist online and there are test-taking scripts on Youtube. A lot of people will lecture you on these techniques but it's important to ask: Which ones seem like they would help?

If you can, I recommend putting most of your effort in group A. It's not a cheat, a weak path, or a shortcut, it's just getting help you deserve. People do this every day, and your school and department both probably have resources.

Also since your school works in levels / shells from you up through your department, feel free to ask your school's general counseling center as well. They have definitely been through this a thousand times with various students. They can often point you to objective resources and suggest methods.

Anyway, I guess what I'm saying is--there's probably some immense pressure to blame yourself. Instead, please help yourself in as many different ways as possible, without blaming yourself, if possible. Good luck & hang in there.
I believe it's a measure of rated output power. The article's headline confusingly refers to energy.
> Left unsaid in this piece is that OpenAI likely would have to increase parameters

Maybe true, but he also said "We are not here to jerk ourselves off about parameter count"

Also, who says that the "transformer scaling laws" are the ultimate arbiter of LLM scaling? They overturned previous scaling laws and other scaling laws might overturn them. Furthermore, it's even possible that the transformer model won't even be used in later models. I remember Ilya making the point that just because the transformer model was the first one that looks like it can scale intelligence just by lighting up billions of dollars of GPUs, it doesn't mean it's the last one. Maybe it will even be like, the vacuum tube of AI models, and other ones are being made in secret. A hacker news rumor was that they are paying $5M-$20M per year to the top neural net experts probably to make some exotic architectures to surpass transformer.
I see... yeah I just imagine it over Earth probably from renderings.

Would be cool if it had a little buddy it released to get above/behind it to take a 3rd person view picture.
I'm glad that they're continuing. I love indie games, I love passionate people and their output—but it's a visual novel. What did they expect? Artistic merit et al don't equal commercial success. The reason to make a very personal project that you're passionate about is because you enjoy the process, not because you're hoping for a return on investment of time. For many people, the joy itself is in the process.

VNs are niche enough, trying to compete with the established heavy-hitters is going to be an uphill struggle. That they saw previous success is a fluke and depends which way the wind is blowing on any given day. Now isn't a great time to sell anything with economic uncertainty, especially as they self-published. Publishers frequently make or break indie games, and clearly it made previous attempts. Lesson learned is that maybe they need a publisher and don't yet yield enough clout or budget to make something a success numbers-wise. Maybe reaching out to a publisher to do a remastered version in a few years might make sense to them, I've seen a few indies do well with a rerelease.
Outdoor cats are a menace to birds and other wildlife on a scale that's hard to describe. It would be hard for an individual homeowner to do anything else that is even nearly as destructive to their local wildlife than keeping an outdoor cat.
Native American society was technologically inferior.

They lacked written word and the wheel at a time when Europe (and parts of Asia) had the printing press and extensive engineering and mathematical accomplishment.

The Americas were far behind Eurasia by every metric.
Yeah, it's a classic sci-fi novel by William Gibson. A little bit unfocused, but it's an interesting read. I kind of spoiled it though, sorry.
You may want to recall that correlation doesn't equal causation. We live in an incredibly complex system where things may appear a bit disconnected.
SpaceX previously tweeted that the launch could occur roughly a week after the Wet Dress Rehearsal (WDR) which still has not happened.

In fact the rocket is not even stacked at the moment, so 4/20 is more probable than 4/17 imo.
AI: just another way to get people to give you their password :)
I feel like you're acting in bad faith conflating "public" and "state" in this instance. Wikipedia is an apt comparison that receives the vast majority of its funding through donations. It has received grants, but it's not "state run media" at all.

If the bar for being state affiliated is receiving money from the federal government, then I'm sure every news outlet and business of reasonable size qualifies (especially after the PPP loans).
Setapp income accounts between 10% and 30% depending on the app.

The Setapp SDK tracks usage time and the app makes a fraction of user monthly payments (factored by app price and user time spent on the app)
I wonder if Linus can install Arch without using the Arch Wiki.
> In practice, Chess is not a game of perfect information, since you generally don't know which lines your opponent has prepared beforehand

What do you mean when you say "game of perfect information"? What would be an example of one?
let's face it, there is a very large amount of music consumed on nothing more than earbud level of speaker. so large, that if they make it sound good on those and not so good on larger speaker systems, most people wouldn't know. that leaves a small number of very vocal people to bitch about it. however, these are the same people that believe you have to have gold plated cabling and all the other nonsense that audiophiles believe. so, if you mix for something that keeps >90% of people from bitching while cashing in all of those $9/month subscription fees, then sounds like a pretty decent bizplan.

even "room" sound is nothing but bookshelf sized speakers. i miss my towers with a 12"-18" sub, a 8"-10" mid, and a 1"-2" tweeter. i cried a bit having to get rid of those.
- It's not a life and death solution, humans have become what they are because they could eat animals. I don't share your opinion about "exploiting animals for profits" - why is that bad? Will you stop using other humans for profit, too?

- Nutrition is one of the least scientific domains, with theories coming in and out every decade. You can leave solely on a plant-based diet, but there are many drawbacks. It's not like if it was just like changing your shirt's color. Plant proteins profiles are inferior to animal protein profiles. Period.

- Phytoestrogen have a measurable impact on hormone levels. Here is a metastudy by the french food safety body, explaining in length this : https://www.anses.fr/fr/system/files/NUT-Ra-Phytoestrogenes....

- You decide that animals are equal to humans. I decide that it's not the case, which is the common perspective held in western societies since they exist.
Definitely. I've absolutely never heard of young college kids breaking into cars

Let's just say he's extremely controversial: https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/policy-and-politics/2337379...
But why? Let's say North Korea nukes Seoul. Is nuking Pyongyang an appropriate response? Are the inhabitants of Pyongyang guilty of the use of Kim Jong Un's nukes?

If the war in Ukraine showed us something is that for military targets precision conventional strikes are very effective. Ukraine could use more Himars, more GLSDBs, more 155 mm rounds (preferably guided), more suicide drones. And could obviously use cruise missiles. But it could not make any meaningful use of nukes.

In a confrontation between North Korea and South Korea, the dominance of South Korea in conventional weaponry is absolutely jaw dropping. Any type of retaliatory response against a use of nukes that can be done with nukes can also be done with conventional precision bombs, and it could be much more directed against Kim's clique.
The author mentioned that some silos make people log in—which ones? To my knowledge, none of the ones in his doodle of what the average website looks like make you do that, so I'm curious which do. And even if they do, in order to "be a fan", surely that requires subscribing through some method? And surely the average schmoe doesn't use RSS?

Big fan of RSS, but feel like it's largely a demographic slant that assumes that because people within x demographic use RSS and are tech-literate that everybody must thus use RSS and be tech literate.

The author has basically reinvented Soup or Tumblr.
>in theory know every possible outcome

Does your theory model the maximum possible compute of a player and the amount of time they have to spend computing these outcomes on a turn? People have a finite amount of time to make moves or they lose. Even computers can't explore the full search space.

Trivializing the combinatorial explosion of each move is not useful for a chess strategy.
