If not passing on the torch, would you consider releasing a data set for the ~5500 torrents? I imagine it wouldn't be a huge data set, and it would allow others to build their own websites and continue the work.

Not as an Apache module AFAIK but there are command line tools [1] to do the lookups and you could probably cache the results into text files named by part of the IP. There are likely rate limits.

Another more manual method would be to look IP's up in bgp.he.net [2] but there are for sure rate limits. That site can give you all the IPv6/IPv4 CIDR blocks for each AS number. This site is very handy for spotting the shady netblock resellers.

[Edit] Here is an old apache module but I have never tested it and it appears to be unsupported. [3] There may be libraries to do this in LUA/Python/Rust.

Something else that you may find useful is this route summarization script that can merge CIDR blocks into their bigger block notation. [4]

LOL, if you look at the amount of money Google has poured into Google and how much they got back for their investment, it's laughable.

Things like the Wavenet "contributions" are just Demis paying lip service to the fact that once in a while Google was nudging them to produce something, anything really that was actually useful.

Byzantine history is interesting and vastly underappreciated (IMO). If you'd like to learn a bit more, the "12 Byzantine Rulers" podcast is a good place to start. It starts off a touch stiff, but loosens up and is great overall.

Oooh, I remember now. You are talking about that discussion we had a while ago. OK.

Yeah, so,"learning" in that context means you're given a bunch of atoms as examples and you learn a logic programs that entails those atoms. "Atoms" here in the logical sense, of atomic formulae (not in the Prolog sense, where "atoms" are constants).

Ultimately, a sound and complete inductive algorithm like the one in Louise, is capable of learning any program, given one or more example atoms it entails, but in practice some programs are harder to learn than others. This is more so if a program must essentially be executed before it can be learned. Which, for the Ackermann fucntion, is a bit of a problem, given it's very expensive. So "learning" can't be done in a PAC-Learning sense, of learning from randomly chosen examples, because then you end up with combinatorial explosion and fast. So this "learning" I show in the Ackermann example is more like teaching: I chose, manually, an example that I know is informative and that the learner can use to learn.

Btw, I like necromancing old converstations too :D
> google and facebook both have way more publications and deeper benches, but aren't really commercializing anything.

I am absolutely certain that Google and Facebook are productizing their AI research and integrating it with their money-making products and measurably earning more money from the effort. Perhaps what you mean by "commercializing" is packaging AI in direct-to-consumer APIs? IMO, that market is not currently large enough to be worth the effort, but is almost certain GCloud will continue to expand ML support.

Piles of previous statements talking about safety and a general unwillingness to put any of its models in the hands of anyone not under NDA. Bard is the first counterexample I can think of and that was forced by OpenAI.
It's confabulating (or hallucinating) meaning. GPT has no understanding of anything. Given an input prompt (tell me what this made up language sentence means for example), it's reaching into its training set and stochastically parroting a response. There is no cognition or understanding of language.

> high powered rifles with high capacity magazines

And you'd be wrong with this assertion again, because the definition of "high powered" and "high capacity" are vastly different for your anti-gun advocates versus reality.

A .223 Remington cartridge is not "high powered". A 20 round magazine was what the gun was designed for, making that the standard capacity magazine, not 10 rounds like some advocate for.

A .50 BMG could be considered "high powered" - and it's banned in California. However, in California you can purchase .416 Barret, which is even more effective at range than .50 BMG - and it's perfectly legal. Make sense out of that one...

> frightening few reasons for folks to have hollow point or incendiary rounds

This is a statement made out of ignorance. It's all about the energy transferred into the target. A HP bullet is designed to transfer as much energy into the target as possible to prevent over-penetration (where you shoot someone through a wall accidentally, for instance) and can be considered a safety-feature for defense. You really do not want a reality where people are forced to use FMJ for self defense...

> If you buy a lot of the ingredients that go into TNT, expect you will be rightfully checked up on.

> Back when I did bird hunt, the entire community would jump on any fool that fired more than the allowed shells in a gun in rapid fire

Sport hunting is akin to golf. There are rules for etiquette and "fairness" reasons, even if that seems silly to an outsider. Additionally, at an established gun range, few allow rapid fire unless you are a member. This is for safety reasons, nothing else. Joe walking in off the street with zero firearms training should not be mag-dumping for obvious reasons.

> Nobody is hunting with handguns

There's an entire community of folks who do just that.

We cannot have productive conversations about gun control until anti-gun advocates educate themselves and refrain from abusing and redefining established words.
> demise goes to show that humans do not want fact-finding journalism. Even highly paid humans like HN developers refuse to pay for journalism

Non sequitur. People didn’t realise Buzzfeed News was fact-finding journalism because Buzzfeed proper was everything but. Plenty of people on HN pay for news, as evidenced by the constant complaining about paywalls.
The gist of the comment is not on the downvotes of that particular comment in and of itself, as much as the overall behaviour of HN and using itself as a data-point to support the hypothesis. At the time of writing I made a prediction on the behaviour of HN. I did not make a comment about the votes of a particular comment after the fact, therefore, I am clear.

I do see the logic in its clinical application: It's the combination of two facts:

1) Human recall is imperfect. The act of remembering an event actively modifies the memory for future recall, which can be tinted by other thoughts and experiences someone is having while doing the recollection.

2) It's rather difficult to feel strong negative emotion while on MDMA. While under the effects, the baseline is somewhere between "happy" and "downright euphoric".

Combine those two ideas, and you have a pretty compelling groundwork for how MDMA would help those with traumatic memories, particularly PTSD. Dose them with feel-good drugs, have them recall and talk through their traumatic memories without the usual, extreme negative emotional response, and the new memories are less associated with extreme negative emotion. Rinse, repeat, until someone can remember a traumatic experience without setting off an extreme stress response.

You can always slice and dice data to make one side look better.

The actual number of successes vs partial successes vs launch failures vs fatalities are the best data we have. Throwing away any of that data because it makes you look worse isn’t a good idea.

Similarly we needs to understand that there’s a huge difference between risk and what actually happens. People get lucky in Vegas every day, what matters to most of us is the accuracy of the estimate of underlying odds not just the exact outcomes out to seven decimal places.
Different people excel at different types of work (particularly where deep experience is the most significant contributor to performance). Tasking academic researchers with building product is the pathway to hell.

I'm really curious at this point what would happen if someone tried to resurrect a design like the 432. Maybe not the 432 exactly because things like bit-aligned instructions are still awkward/weird and didn't turn out to be as useful as the designers hoped. (It seems like an obvious compromise because object-tagging taking so much RAM in an era where RAM was so expensive it is an easy bet that they felt a need to nickel and dime/golf program code size, if they could.)

But even just reusing the architecture as-was, it would certainly be cheaper and need fewer chips today. It might be fun to have a cheap Raspberry Pi-like board with a 432 to experiment coding against.

It's all a tradeoff. Here's one perspective that was influential on now I think about tests.

> The benefit of this style are better error messages. Instead of just “false is not true”, the testing framework can print values for x and y.

> I don’t find this useful. Using the check style testing, there are very few assertions actually written in code. Usually, I start with plain asserts without messages. The first time I debug an actual test failure for a particular function, I spend some time to write a detailed assertion message. To me, fluent assertions are not an attractive point on the curve that includes plain asserts and hand-written, context aware explanations of failures. A notable exception here is pytest approach — this testing framework overrides the standard assert to provide a rich diff without ceremony.

> The problem is nobody wants to make a hundred purchasing decisions per day.

Indeed. I wonder if something like Brave's idea of just creating a pot of money per month, and then paying that out is workable. As a user I'd love to throw $10 into my pot and not have to worry about cost exceeding that and not having to see ads. The network effect is a beast though. You need participation before you can get participation.
"As long as you're not losing traction on your rear wheels" is the key part.

The more you brake, the more weight shifts forward, which results in less traction available to use to recapture.

People vastly overestimate how much traction is available at the rear during braking, and running out of traction at the rear typically results in the car spinning (especially in an EV with low rotational inertia with most of the weight between the axles) so regen tends to be very conservatively tuned to not cause rear lock up, thus using even less of the little traction available.
> Now, we live in a time in which AI research and technology is advancing exponentially. In the coming years, AI - and ultimately AGI - has the potential to drive one of the greatest social, economic and scientific transformations in history.

I'm not an AI Doomer, but is there some kind of scenario where the coming of AGI doesn't trigger a communist revolution and a lot of death and destruction along the way? I dunno, maybe it could be a Fabian revolution, but seems pretty unlikely. Seems more like AGI → everyone is pissed off that they still have to work for a living → a lot of rich people with heads on pikes. Is there some other scenario that's more likely? Doesn't feel that way to me. Then again, I'm the creator of https://bellriots.netlify.app/, so maybe I'm a Revolution Doomer.
There are plenty of products that launch on top tools and frameworks that are worth far more than the underlying will ever be. OpenAI is creating products, DeepMind was creating tools.

It's not a matter of skill as much as objective. And DeepMind would still be starting at zero if they decide to pivot to products.
It looks more like a re-org to show to investors Google is doing something to fix this. "let's combine departments and move people around".
Google is a technical company and they have not had much use of LLM as a technical feature in any of their products. Honestly, what is the use of LLM other than write your essays and summarize web info? For technical nerds, LLM is boring.

Google is approaching this very consumer-oriented (Apple-esque) LLM model with a very technical genius mindset. And this is incredibly miscalculated. The kinds of advances from DeepMind research and Brain research is a puzzle piece of advancement that needs a good product development to seam together. I doubt DeepMind founder has this talent.

It needs to first accept LLM is NLP on steroids. And it is way behind on the magical consumer-oriented technology. Then develop further research for a reasonable product in a year. In the meantime, start giving more technical information without the nice language skills as search results (similar to what it is doing today, but on a broader scale). Let users enjoy this feature, while they use ChatGPT LLM for their office documents.

I suggest you read the article—it may not be what you think from the headline.

It’s not that NIH didn’t find a cause of “long COVID”…it’s not that they didn’t find any treatments for long COVID if such a thing truly exists…the NIH just did a whole lot of nothing.

The National Institutes of Health hasn’t signed up a single patient to test any potential treatments — despite a clear mandate from Congress to study them. And the few trials it is planning have already drawn a firestorm of criticism, especially one intervention that experts and advocates say may actually make some patients’ long Covid symptoms worse.

Instead, the NIH spent the majority of its money on broader, observational research that won’t directly bring relief to patients. But it still hasn’t published any findings from the patients who joined that study, almost two years after it started.

A really spectacularly expensive whole lot of nothing.
I’m mid-40s. 40 is such a mystical number. Almost immediately after I hit 40, interest in me dropped 95%.

1. East seated twist left and right have their icons switched. The twist left states to put your left hand on your right knee, but it shows the person with their left hand on the back of the chair.
2. When you first start and are on the 5 second count down page, you can scroll through exercises.
3. Once that 5 second page moves on, if you're on the first exercise and click back, it takes you to the last exercise in the routine. I found this unintuitive since I was actually trying to see what the 5 second page was telling me and didn't realize it was just a "get ready" countdown.

Certain PFASs are no longer manufactured in the United States, as a result of phase-outs including the PFOA Stewardship Program (2010-2015), in which eight major chemical manufacturers agreed to eliminate the use of PFOA and PFOA-related chemicals in their products and as emissions from their facilities.[95] Although PFOA and PFOS are no longer manufactured in the United States, they are still produced internationally and are imported into the US in consumer goods such as carpet, leather and apparel, textiles, paper and packaging, coatings, rubber and plastics.[96]

In 2020, manufacturers and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced an agreement to phase out some types of PFAS which are used in food packaging by 2024.[97]

PFASs are also used by major companies of the cosmetics industry in a wide range of cosmetics, including lipstick, eye liner, mascara, foundation, concealer, lip balm, blush, nail polish and other such products.
The question then becomes how to fill the gap that's left.
