That's fair, I've seen that it can really struggle coming up with novel algorithms. I am curious on if there is more improvement on that front in future models, because even its current performance at algorithmic manipulation is far, far better than e.g. GPT-3.

Nice. Quick and easy read.
Agree, most people who buy trucks don’t use them as trucks. That’s the primary Cybertruck market. Most of life is status and signaling. Sell what people want.

Agreed. It's especially confusing because if the user who clicked the Follow button then tries to sign in on that server, they will be presented with a very generic Mastodon sign in page: https://me.dm/auth/sign_in

This is a problem that hopefully will be solved in the future. Not sure if there needs to be a global (non exclusive) sign in portal... something that could be used as an easy entry point to the user's home server from any other server.

Cool, I guess? Can’t all this be done without throwing a bunch of scanning equipment into the landfill?
the drift speed of electrons in a conductor is, as you say, low, while the fluctuations of the wave travel at near the speed of light, and electrons can be accelerated to near light-speed but I don't think that happens in normal signal transfers.
Suggesting that you are eligible for a reward to a company that does not have a bounty program is a terrible idea.

I find it quite odd and funny that the author specifically mentions Google, and his script has a function `def google_it(query):` but then in the function he uses DuckDuckGo. Is the author ashamed, or does he expect people to not trust DDG?
It’s a douche move because it’s ruining something that is based on trust by betraying that trust. That’s not a challenge, it’s not helping anyone, it’s not high and mighty, it’s just that, a douche move.

Look at how much praise athletes got by proving they could win contests using doping. They got none because it’s a douche move, even if it’s technically not illegal it’s still cheating, even if they never pick up the prize it’s still ruining the contest. Everyone can imagine you can win a race on doping, nobody learned anything.
Honestly I'm not sure it matters that much. CEOs who are not experts or researches in a domain can still build great companies and empower their employees to do incredible work. Lots of tech people absolutely love to point out that Steve Jobs was not an engineer, but under his leadership the company invented three products that totally revolutionized different industries. Now, I'm not going to sit here and say Altman is Jobs, but running a company, knowing how to raise money, knowing how to productize technologies, etc are all very important skills that industry researchers aren't always good at.
So far, I'm loving Chat Box.

Sweden is still ruled by law. The cabinet can't just order a random list of who-ever Erdogan wants this week to be extradited to Turkey. You have to rip up constitutional laws to do such flagrant violations of human and citizen rights, and for that you need 2 really hard core fascist parliament majorities in succession. Not gonna happen.
You could have it start talking to itself in the way that AlphaGO learns to get better at Go. All that needs to be done is find some fitness function that indicates that useful knowledge has been produced. In Go and Chess this is easy.

It can start posting synthesized ideas on social media and see how many likes it gets. Coupled with a metric containing dissimilarity to current information, this could be a useful way to progress to superhuman insights.
Meh, people have been trying to ape biological networks for decades and they consistently produce poor functioning versions of the leading edge... Why wouldn't we have already seen spiking networks contribute something by now?
Guessing from the article, but I think rather than attempting to install everything on top of everything else, and then deriving the uninstallation or replacement of packages from conflicts arising out of that process piecemeal, as per the usual package management strategy, with all the unpredictable complexity entailed, there is instead a planned tree structure for the dependencies, so that the switch is analogous to git rebase to a different branch of a repository and not to series of increasingly desperate manual invocations of /usr/bin/patch
Nah it’s a good video. Solid change in general.

The existence of a robots.txt file has no legal meaning. The lack of one certainly does not mean the content being served is free to use in any way.
That's why misinformation labels aren't really a problem. If Snowden posts that they NSA is spying the government could flag the claim as misinformation, but flagging Snowden's post doesn't make it go away and Snowden came with evidence which the public could review. Once the public saw that spying was happening, they'd know the government lied and the next time they saw something flagged by the government as misinformation they'd be less willing to assume that to be accurate, and eventually might even start to assume that things flagged as "disinformation" by the government we're more likely to be true than not.

As long as the fact checking is transparent, there will be an incentive for the fact checker to stay honest and when they fail we should adjust our understanding of what the flag actually means.

I've gone through that already with popular fact checkers like snopes. I still consider it to be a valuable resource, but I've become aware that they allow bias to influence their findings and that they can't be trusted blindly. Really no one source should be blindly trusted and that's something we should be trying to let people know, but warning labels can still be helpful and also revealing about how adversarial our government has become. A government that can't be trusted not to repeatedly mislead the public is one that should be voted out and replaced.
If you’ve ever been on the hiring committee at a tech company, you would know this is complete nonsense. We look for qualified candidates for years before we can find them, and immigrants working in tech probably pay more in taxes in a decade than most Americans in their lifetime.

If anything, the H-1B program should be augmented, and employment-based green cards should not be linked to how nice your employer is.
I think it's really, really funny to describe "not conducting a coup against a democratically elected president even though your country normally does that" as "Biden backed this guy".
Now distribution are often centered on a DE, but before it was very common to have all the possible choices a available with any distribution.

At that time, it was one of the fun thing to install multiple distributions (gnome, KDE, xfce, wm, blackbox, hundreds of small ones...) And switch between them just by logging out and selecting a new one for logging.

Linux being magic with everything shared in the home folder, it was just the desktop changing but all the files staying the same.
The whimper of the end.
Let me start off by saying that it's silly to discuss the design of a vehicle that does not exist. All anyone has seen so far is a scale model. I'm not sure it's even developed enough to call a concept. We might as well discuss whether it's better to ride a unicorn or a griffon.

>Large, extremely safe

So engineered to kill everyone except the driver. Big, heavy cars are safe only because they flatten the other party in a crash. The Cybertruck will be even worse than your average murdermobile because, as an EV, it will be unusually heavy.

And it gets worse:

>no body that gets easily dented

Cars don't have squishy bodywork by accident. Flexible, easily-dented bodywork is a safety feature. The front end of a car is designed to crumple to minimize acceleration.

Well, everyone knows about crumple zones. Clearly cars need to crumple at highway speeds, but the driver is in no danger in a parking lot. However, it is crucial that this happen even for minor collisions. Any collision with a pedestrian is a minor collision from the perspective of the car but catastrophic from the perspective of the pedestrian. The hood, bumpers, and panels must flex and dent even in a fender bender if they are to protect a pedestrian at 20 miles an hour.
Most of HN submitted content is worth reading for technical merit alone, but it does not include with racist or sexist content. If anything, we treat racist and sexist content as something to fight.

That I raised attention to this issue does not justify a problematic label like "concern trolling".

We are better than this, and our content should reflect that.
I think you should put down the kool-aid.

Tesla's Autopilot page [1] still has a video demonstrating it's self-driving capabilities but the video is actually a composite of videos taken over numerous runs because the car hit objects and ran off the road during some of them which does not make for good marketing material. (previous discussion [2]).

To be clear, I'm not using multimodal chat, either. I just told it to output an SVG snippet in the chat and then manually copy/pasted it to view.

Here's one: F1TV

Their peak demand is insane, especially at race start, and is only sustained for a few hours for ~20 weekends a year.

AWS have already built a live streaming stack for their other customers with DRM and support for a wide variety of platforms. And there are other features like live rewind, restart, live to VOD etc.

It is also relatively straightforward to serve new countries, you don't have to build data centres all over the world, just stand up your infra in a new region.

On the bug, I did play the practice round first, but I still get the same thing now on a new page load. Looks like it's caused by the div#modalIdBox having position:relative for no very obvious reason.

A Guide to Freeing Your Social Feeds from Annoying Algorithms
"Sideloading" is such a weird term. Why does "installing" something without Apple's approval need another word?
I think it'd be incredibly valuable if all vehicles could pick one common unit. Personally I think that need dominates all others. And it suggests to me MPGe is the way to go in the states, to the extend that it makes me want EV "fuel" gauges to be "gallon-equivalents" (33.7kWh). Yes your car only has 2~3 gallons of gas capacity, that's because it's badass & efficient. This is of course (imo: alas) never going to happen.

I think the actual units used in EU are, for example, 19kWh/100km (from the BMW iX which does very well for it's size-class). You seem to have an extra /h in your figure. It has the advantage of being a understandable number, relatively well sized in scope. People can think of 100km as a reasonable length in their head that connects distant points. We tend to think in terms of kWh, which is what electricity is typically metered in world wide. It feels like a poor use of a metric system that shouldn't have a bunch of weird prefixes (there's a k above & below the divisor? are you kidding me? 100km? c'mon!!) but the units are people-sized, are things we can work with in our head. And the final number, 19, as in 19 kWh/100km, is reasonably scoped, going up if you're more efficient, going down if you're less efficient.

It's inverse from MPG, putting the range-unit is on the bottom & the energy-unit is on the top. Some people love it: they claim that the difference between like 12 & 24 MPG is hard to appreciate the savings off of, whereas the difference between 24 & 48 MPG looks big but is actually only half as much fuel saved. Personally, I don't really chalk this up as a win, but some people think it's important & I can recognize that potentially it might be helpful.

I still think we should just use 33.7kWh / 1 gallon-of-gas equivalent as the common unit of energy & give everyone a common frame of reference.
Even if the model doesn’t, where does code written with the aid of an llm end up after the various rulings about the output of Stable Diffusion etc. not being copyrightable at all?
“the current ruling party is straight up unironically fascist and descends from the same political party that inspired the german nationalist socialist party.”

Oh can we stop with this bullshit? In hindsight Nazism is an almost cartoon like singular epitome of pure evil but in its day it was considered by many throughout the world not just in India to be a cutting edge political philosophy whose ideas were to be taken seriously.

Nazism like many other ideologies including some varieties of Hindutva was an offspring of 19th century Romanticism. The idea of one’s culture having a primitive yet glorious mystical past was appealing to many freedom fighters the world over and implied nothing about their feelings towards Jews or German expansion etc. Similarly the superficial adoption of e.g. the swastika doesn’t imply Germans were rushing to make a yatra to the Himalayas.

In fact the most prominent example of a “Nazi” Indian is not any RSS member but Subhash Chandra Bose. His nickname Netaji is a direct translation of “fuehrer”! He died in the Burmese jungles where, bankrolled by Berlin, he was trying to open an attack against the British colonial regime. However he wasn’t so much pro-German as he was anti-British. And that’s how India remembers him; as a freedom fighter. A couple of years ago he briefly came into the news in the US because Saikat Choudhary (the architect of the Democrat party’s “Green New Deal”) wore a t-shirt with his picture on it. When a “fascist” is on an ultra-leftists apparel, the word fascist has lost all meaning.

I’ll leave you with an assignment. Find out about the prominent Indian Muslims of they 1930’s who made pro-Nazi comments. It’s an interesting historical exercise (especially their reasons why.) but I don’t think it would reveal much about the views of todays Muslims. Do you?
It's a bit telling these state broadcasters quitting twitter when they are labeled as such: if they really felt their stakeholders were their readers, you'd expect them to crack on, even if they didn't like the label, to make sure their stakeholders are served. But their stakeholder is the state, and their role as a propaganda organ is diminished by the label, so they quit, because their master isn't happy.
I’ve used em all. I hate Windows. MacOS is “fine”, and Linux can be great. The issues with Linux are on edge cases, just like macOS. They’re just in different places, imho.
> I think that having no support on current-gen flagship models does equal broadly terrible software support and is more worth highlighting, since otherwise someone might assume they could just go pick one of those up and get a 24GB GPU on the cheap, especially in the context of LLMs (which is what the OP was asking about).

Absolutely fair and I agree with this part. I started my reply with "FWIW" (For What It's Worth) on purpose.

> For RDNA2, you apparently can get LLMs running, but it requires forking/patching both bitsandbytes and GPTQ: https://rentry.org/eq3hg - and this will be true for any library (eg, can you use accelerate? deepspeed? fastgen? who knows, but certainly no one is testing it and AMD doesn't care if you're not on CDNA).

I haven't tried any of the GPU-based LLMs yet. SD leveraging PyTorch (which seems to have solid ROCm support) worked for me. It will not be faster than NVIDIA for sure but if someone already has a 16GB+ AMD card they may be able to at least play with stuff without needing to purchase an NVIDIA card instead.
On the one hand, you prevent Trump winning and maybe write some debt down.

On the other hand, you know, war with a nuclear power with plausible escalation scenarios where 'who won the presidency' and 'who owes whom money' become utterly irrelevant questions.

The DoS isn't that stupid. But the conspiracy media producing this FUD is.
Yeah, age old conflict of the Russian government against its people, alright.
Kaggle and Google colab both provide free access to GPUs powerful enough to run stable diffusion.
Alternatively, you can use other people's GPUs through Stable Horde or one of the free services online, though this comes with more limitations regarding image size and implemented extras like Lora and textual inversion and so on.
Qemu.js – a proof-of-concept port of QEMU to web browser using WASM JIT (2019)
Do raw materials need to be sourced from the United States? Or can raw materials be imported, but the batteries need to be manufactured in the United States?

Re-resourcing such a major component is a massive undertaking. Will the automakers adjust their supply chains when a change in the political climate can negate their efforts?
For my tiny startup, the cloud is two to three orders of magnitude cheaper. We could not exist were it not for the cloud, AWS in particular.

Last week I had a call with the AWS support team helping me get some costs under control with improved architecture and optimizing how I pay for compute. Based on our chat, I believe I can reduce costs by a third, which for us means multiple more months of runway, critical time to find P/M fit.

At my old job, cloud costs were out of control, mostly because there was a huge effort to “lift and shift” the existing systems, rather than redesign them with the cloud in mind.
> one of the goals of the sting was to “dismantle the business model” of encrypted phones as a tool of organized crime

Why would law enforcement do that? They are self-made honeypots, evidence-collectors, and tracking devices all rolled into one. And these people can't seem to muster the self-discipline to lay off the sweet stuff.
Sounds like pretty much none of them have any sort of reasonable Linux support.
I've lived in Japan since 2009. In my opinion, most foreign residents who want to stay here long-term are interested only in permanent residence, and not citizenship. Reason being they don't want to give up their existing non-Japanese citizenship (which is technically a requirement for citizenship in Japan).
Printers are directly descended from Satan himself.

Edit: and printing is the one part of the tech world that really is worse than it used to be. Most of the time, it’s just rose colored glasses that make us think things are worse. Computers used to be awful. Constant crashing and rebooting, and stuff randomly failing to work. Slow, bad UX, etc. printers, however, worked fairly reliably. Then… inkjet, laser jet and fuck this jet. Printers haven’t worked since inkjet became a thing. Dye sublimation printers, thermal printers, and impact printers seem to work forever without issue. The common inkjet printer is just a pile of plastic and bullshit.
Thanks for the link! Unfortunately, the video has been archived already. But that helped me to just look up a UI review video on YouTube. Now I get what the fuss is about! It turns out that I am in some holdout or control group for this UI experiment as my home screen did not change on iOS. I can access the new feed if I tap Music on Home feed though. The new experience is completely unusable, not sure who this is for..
GPT-4 Is a Risky Dependency for FOSS Projects
Huh. The way I see SO and the future of AI is ... I don't. I don't bother looking at SO any more for the easy questions, I just use ChatGPT. It's not perfect, but neither is SO, and ChatGPT is faster and more polite.

I still don't think ChatGPT is really coming for software engineers' jobs anytime soon, though. A high level programming language is about telling a computer exactly what you want as succinctly as possible. By the time you get specific enough with ChatGPT to produce said code, you could just write that code yourself. Without the non-deterministic behavior, too.

But as a helper tool, it's remarkably useful.
I work with CloudFormation scripts extremely often in my line of work and while confusing at first they're extremely clean once you wrap your head around them. Like any tool or language there are multiple ways to approach issues, your solution can be clean and efficient or "a ream of dirty hacks", it really depends on how familiar you are with the tools.
It's absolutely useful to have a standard form for DNS zone files; it just shouldn't be a part of the DNS standard. There's no scarcity of RFC numbers, and zone files should be a separate, optional RFC.

(They're practically obsolete now, so there isn't much uncertainty about who had the better side of this argument.)
Yup, Russia, China, North Korea, all authoritarian states
> there’s a real tangible risk to getting recruited if your resume paints you to look like a mercenary who leaves every year.

Yearly would be a bit much, but every 3-5 years isn't really that big of a deal.
Seems like a gigantic increase in the context window would be a great next step. GPT-4 is so damned good I tend to only become disappointed when it is forced to forget history.
I have been going through the Canadian immigration process recently and I’ve had so many struggles with editing PDFs.

A former employer sent me a copy of my work reference encrypted with a password that I had to remove.

I had to install third party PDF software to fill out a Canadian government form. The native Mac Preview app couldn’t edit it.

A form for a police certificate seemed to be entirely uneditable with any third party software on my Mac.

I have no idea how ‘normal’ (for want of a better word) people are able to get anything done with PDF documents.
I know tons of people from both political spectrums who are pro-free-speech. I also know people who support free-speech that only supports their views. Nonetheless, you are correct in that there are right-wingers who are hypocrites by claiming to be pro-free-speech but then defunding libraries. Many on the left do this too, unfortunately. They claim to be for freedom but then advocate for the censorship of "misinformation" - a term that is currently being twisted to fit different political agendas.
I've set up a spare PC at my mother's place so I can help her out when she needs it (I'm in my late 40s) and still do my work remotely. Her house is half way to my office, so it doesn't cost much time. Unfortunately all my friends are too far away to make working at their places less time consuming than going to the office.
This is a referency to Tim Cook being gay. Real classy, "ihatepython".
I dunno, I just watched it and he almost immediately throws out the formality of the delta-epsilon definition and starts using infinitesimals.
