If such things interest anyone, here's some relevant Wikipedia links:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ithaca_Hours (one of the larger systems, and the one Kootenay's was copied from, now defunct)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_currency (a general name for such currencies, with a list of a bunch of different ones)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-based_currency (not all local currencies are based on time but Kootenay Barter and Ithaca Hours were)

Although interesting, I should probably note that as a general rule, they have never seen high adoption, aren't very clear about what problems they're trying to solve, and seem to have minimal advantages over, well, any other solution. Even in places where a local currency system is nominally operating, you generally have to look very, very hard to find anyone participating (or indeed, who has even heard of it).

Also, the Kootenay currency has been defunct for something like 15-20 years.
As an American who grew up feeling annoyed and aggressive toward people driving motorcycles, but now drives a motorcycle regularly for the past 10 years, it never had anything to do with how poor someone was. Motorcycles aren't the most practical vehicles on American roads, so I always perceived them as a sport, not a necessity. And motorcycle drivers has a reputation for pulling stupid stunts and causing accidents on the highway. 19 year old kids would buy sporty motorcycles, drive 2x the speed limit on the highway, swerving between lanes of traffic, doing wheelies, etc. Or a gang of gnarly men would ride into town and parade through the streets on their Harleys. When these are your stereotypes of people on motorcycles, any time there is a motorcycle approaching you or blocking you, it's easy to feel annoyed and aggressive. Motorcyclists (and cyclists) are not seen as poor people choosing practical transport. They are seen as hobbyists pursuing a luxury at the expense of others' convenience and expectations.

Of course, I don't see things this way anymore but I'm fairly confident that this is a common mindset.
So why did you jump straight to >50% of the population farming then?

We aren't going back to mediaeval times just because satnav stopped working.
I always thought it was one of those legacy things because the max frame size for frame relay was 9000 Bytes. But in theory, a frame for Ethernet can be 64K I believe but that is not really practical of course for reasons mentioned in other threads here about re-trans.
Last person executed was Cal Coburn Brown in 2010 for murdering Holly Washa in 1997. He and James Homer Elledge are the only two people executed by the state of Washington this century, Elledge was lethally injected in 2001, for murdering Eloise Jane Fitzner in 1998.

Gov. Inslee set a moratorium when he came to power in 2014, and the state supreme court found the punishment to be racist and hence unconstitutional in 2018. It has been illegal ever since. This law basically just removes an unconstitutional law from the legal code.

There is 0% chance that Gary Ridgway would ever have been executed by the state. There is also high chance that he would have given the names of his victims regardless of the plea bargain.
What studies, experiments, and/or trials has this gone through? Also, I see a list of "Publications" linked, but unsure how they relate to the work done here.

"Diagnosing cancer by profiling the immune system" is a bold statement to make while merely linking to a github repo. The readme still leaves A LOT of questions
How much time and how many countries are there in your definition of "now"?
And how on Earth the Pihkal has been published exactly 30 years ago if the research was "impossible"?
Now take that and 100x it.
As an Emacs user, I have always hated that joke. It's not funny, because, as you said, it is untrue. Emacs is not only a great editor, but it's also a terrible operating system, lacking multitasking and error recovery in particular (although it's getting better).
I have a strange fascination with the Burroughs large system perhaps because I like stack machines.

But yeah I can see the resemblance, what Algol was to the Burroughs Ada was to the Intel 432

There is a fun web based Burroughs B5500 emulator. Totally worth it to spend an evening running through the boot procedure.

I'm not so worried about legal. Lawyers seem to be in a good position to gatekeep AI out (e.g. suing DoNotPay). Paralegals could go extinct though.
If you look at the cost of a new screen or battery you can see that parts do have some value. For a thief even $50 is a score.
It's a nice PR action for John Deere. Now US farmers know that if Russia invade the US, JD will have their back. But barring a russian invasion, how many tractors are being stolen in the US every year? I don't think this is a real problem.

And we are talking about a state actor here. I am sure that Russia can find a way to bypass the lock and if not, as mentioned in the article, they will sell the parts.

However, if I was a farmer, I wouldn't want JD to have that level of control on my property. I would want JD to handle that control to me, ideally under the form of public and documented API and free software.
Activation lock may the that excellent if the buyer would have a choice to buy it or not going to risk having an unactivated tractor.

The pyramid animation at the top reminds me of 11:30 in this video: https://youtu.be/q6MJSfjXUgQ?t=690

...which is the same 2D/3D illusion, but made with, you know... humans.
I've seen the true all seasons more and more. Both my and my mom's car have standard tires from the manufacturer, yet both also have the M+S designation that indicates a Mud and Snow tire. Are these tires of the form you describe?
America's standards for road worthy are just that much higher. IF you: start a car company, buy a bunch of them so the NHTSA can crash test them (thanks Mercedes-Benz for that one), fix them up so they meet modern Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) (which includes backup cameras, among other things), fix them up to meet smog standards (for California), which means it'll also need a compliant OBDII port (and a Japanese OBDII port returning Japanese characters instead of ascii codes won't count), then yeah, it can be considered road-worthy and as a bonus, you can sell them.

It's just that all of the above is very expensive and a lot of work, if not impossible. Having to buy a bunch of cars just to get them crash tested is probably the most expensive part, but the rest of that isn't easy either.
Coming back to the kei trucks discussed in the article, there's basically no way they're going to pass crash testing.

So it's not that it isn't a valid solution, just America has much higher standards for "road worthiness".

It's been "done" by MotoRex for R34 GTRs, though there is a bit of fuzziness as to their legality as they got shut down by the government. That's a whole other story though.

But if you're not going to use the vehicle on the road and just as a show car, or drag race car, it doesn't need to be considered road worthy and the import journey is much easier.
The architecture of AOLserver was ahead of its time back in the day. Using threads rather than processes like Apache meant that all the threads could share a connection pool to the database. And the built-in Tcl support, while idiosyncratic (everything is a string!), was good enough for most web backend work.

Phil Greenspun wrote a book about architecting web applications ("web scale" two decades before that became a meme) that was, and still is, available for free online (https://philip.greenspun.com/panda/ ).

Greenspun had a company, ArsDigita, that created a big framework for building web applications, ACS (ArsDigita Community System), and there was an open source version of it called OpenACS that AFAIU was basically a port from Oracle to PostgreSQL (the recently released PostgreSQL 7.0 had just acquired sufficient capabilities to be usable as an Oracle substitute for ACS) but otherwise pretty much the same. Back then when a "web framework" basically meant a hodgepodge of spaghetti PHP, this was beyond awesome.

I used OpenACS to create some intranet reporting systems as a summer intern back in the day, and it was pretty good, the code was decently well structured and understandable. Though in retrospect I pity whoever had to maintain that tech stack after I left; my best guess is the system ran for a few years until they killed it off as nobody understood it since OpenACS was very much off the beaten track.
Yes, but the assumption is that the $5 is easily compensated by the extra interest.

That will break the beauty of HN in my humble.
Nothing related to Okta Vs Google SSO.

But I think I can add my 2 cents on why people who are already using something like Okta, will take into consideration before switching.

- Pricing, is it going to be significantly cheaper for the organisation in the long run?

If not it's not worth disrupting 100s of applications for 1000s of people, and not to mention the overhead of tech ops setting this up for everyone for a few thousand dollars per year.

But if the cost saving is in millions or 100s of thousands of dollars? why not .. i think then they can afford to disrupt the existing flow

- Bandwidth to perform this migration, do we have enough room to do this. Chances are people are already fighting with the existing burning issues.

- Customer support
It's banally true that intentionally putting an A.I. in charge of our nucleur arsenal might be dangerous.

My point is someone can answer a survey stating A.I. could destroy our species without believing GPT-4 is existentially dangerous.
The biggest claim is that psychedelics are a tool to access a profound truth about the nature of life, the universe, etc. The scientific literature shows there’s a correlation between the intensity of the mysticism experience and its therapeutic benefits. The problem is truth. If experiencing religious visions and feelings is followed by getting better, it doesn’t mean God actually exists, or that your “soul” left your body.
> Same was true for combustion engines, they will probably send us extinct.

Climate change is a serious issue, but you cheapen and discredit it by exaggerating its impact. There is zero chance climate change will cause humans to go extinct. If my stance is incorrect, please reply with some evidence.

>The Industrial Revolution required millions of people to not only retrain, but also relocate. It changed political structures, often violently

Can't wait for my political system to be violently up ended by AI. I can imagine it will only change for the better, right? Right??
I have a feeling that biology research is stuck “at tiny scales”, with scale meaning not size of the components, but the amount of components.

Remember when researchers painstakingly designed by hand new algorithms to scale up pixel images and to remove compression artifacts, and it never looked that good? I read many papers from that effort. Man, the clever maths and techniques the researchers used, the new theories of perceptual sharpness and image quality. And, don’t read me wrong, all of it is still useful in one way or another.

But then neural networks came, and we had a full generic framework that was able to do upscaling really well, and a bunch of other things, and saying that you wanted grant money to code by hand a new upscaling algorithm using some clever wavelet technique you had in mind got you nowhere.

We need to have that moment in cell biology, when we stop having entire research groups looking at a single pathway or just a single protein conformation for years, and instead use a generic framework to solve a problem.
I mean, Helen Keller did pretty well (with an appropriate tutor) with only very low bandwidth interfaces like touch and smell.
Search has virtually no moat to luck customers in. People switched from AltaVista to Google fast!

I already use phind.com almost as much as I use Google. A significant percentage of the non-development "queries" that I have, I now ask ChatGPT 4.

I'm starting to suspect that within a year, I won't be using Google search much at all.

That should terrify everyone at Alphabet Inc.
quite, mentioning AI or Blockchain seem to set off a knee jerk reaction, crime is crime, methods change but frequency afaik stays relatively stable as a product of poverty Vs quality of life, so, as these technologies are still in their early days, so many factors are affecting their performance and changing their potential, seems odd that a forum for hackers is so, well, not sure how to put it, negative?
What issues did you run into using Tcl? (If any)
Sure why not. It’s absolutely horrific Python code. Maybe someone else can clean it up 10,000x. I’ll make a note to move it to GitHub.
What will all the serfs and slaves do for a living, now that we have tractors and combine harvesters?

I mean, that's > 90% of all jobs! How will we cope with 90% unemployment?

(it should be obvious that this is not serious... humanity has survived "machines are taking all the jobs" many times before, and it will survive this one too)
As someone much younger (mid 20's), I have absolutely no idea what to do. I don't even think there _is_ anything I can do, aside from waiting to see what happens. What happens when programmers are no longer needed? That certainly (I hope) won't happen in 5 years, but given the exponential rate of improvement, I can see programming as a profession being gone in 20-30 years.
I'm using https://huggingface.co/lxe/Cerebras-GPT-1.3B-Alpaca-SP which is https://huggingface.co/cerebras/Cerebras-GPT-1.3B finetuned using LoRA on Alpaca dataset. The cerebras models (gpt-2 based) tend to hallucinate a lot.

Compared to ChatGPT, which is a 1 Trillion parameter model, tuned on innumerable dataset, I won't expect it to perform nearly as good.

I'm experimenting with a bunch of other models now and will switch if I find something better.

Also this is far from gibberish. These are straight facts and life advice to follow.

Human: How do birds fly?
Assistant: Birds fly by flying in a circle.

Human: Why is the sky blue?
Assistant: The sky is a beautiful blue color. It is a symbol of peace and harmony. It is a symbol of the sky and the sky is a beautiful color.

Human: How can I create a better LLM?
Assistant: 1. Create a model for the data.
2. Create a model for the model.
3. Create a model for the model.
4. Create a model for the model.
> I doubt a vision of growth is compatible with "sustainability". In fact, I find it highly unlikely.

This is a backwards viewpoint. A future of sustainable is a future of more consumption, but green consumption. Standard of living has a strong correlation with energy use. We'll only use more energy in the future. We're still a ways off from a Type 1 civilization.
it is not that easy: in our context (where we have to assure our customerss that the operating systems are patched for security) it practically means that we are not respecting the contract. We have a a lot of servers (all VMs), who doesn't these days?, due to splitting in a lot of micro-services, that means that with the PRO move we have a LOT of added costs: customers says, of course, why don't you use another linux?

It was our (my personal, actually) mistake to move from Centos to Ubuntu some years ago: plus another big mistake was not to feel it coming (the PRO move, I mean), even by reading HN daily! I figured it out only the day I saw, in the cli, the pretty explicit message, which to me sounded like:

* there are security patches available, but you don't get it until you give us 500$
Ask HN: How do I detect if the text is generated by ChatGPT using API?

1/10 animation based on DOM is bad. wont watch again.

I really like .swf in the past, but I have to say that it feels really weird that I can't fast-forward. Am I been trained to be too impatient in this video-everywhere age?
Not sure about the specifics but yes, in cases like the one I described in my oriignal post, the "header" state will not change immediately but some kind of service thread would periodically revisit the active headers (i.e. anything that had not reached the final stable state) and check all the items in order to update the header state.

That worked fine for us. Also, I have recently (< six months ago) used a SM to build a module in the application I am working on and I am quite happy how it allowed us to quickly adapt to the corner cases that inevitably started cropping up after deploying the module.

I am fairly convinced that a different approach would have make been much more difficult to adapt, and that testing for subtle interactions of different states would have been much more complicated.
Doesn't help; what matters is your total R&D spend which - apparently according to current guidance - includes all/most of programmer salaries.

If you spend is going up, you're pre-paying more and more tax on profits you haven't earned yet. If your spend is constant, you'll stay the same amount behind. If your spend declines you'll start to catch up, and if it drops to 0 and stays there for ~4 years you'll catch up to where you would have been without the law change...but if you start spending again you have to start pre-paying again.
What if LLM hallucinates some destructive operation, such as deleting local files, and runs it? I think the project should automatically run everything in a container, just in case.
It’s so simple it’s embarrassing to admit. I think the prompt is “Here is a credit card statement item. Identify the company: <STATEMENT>”

GPT-4 is just that good at one shot classification tasks.
We have two 100Gbps links with CenturyLink and we use an MTU of 1500.

Why would they build their own over buying from AMD or Intel?

If they're going to buy their own, wouldn't it make more sense to use ARM like AWS with Graviton?
> If you're in an accident going fast enough for the size of your vehicle to matter, you stand a very high chance of getting severely fucked up no matter what you're driving.

The most dangerous, a head on collision, will always be safer for the heavier vehicle. It's simple physics.
I can do 60 tokens in 24s on my 2020 ASUS G14, Thorium 111 + Windows 10. Nvidia-smi says my RTX 2060 is 24% loaded and has ~1.1G eaten up.

Thats slower than Vicuna 7B (aka LLaMa 7000M, GPT 3ish? model) on linux on the same machine, where I get about 3.5 tokens/sec and 97% usage. So... yeah, performance is not so great yet.
Australia does have a public RTK network, which is free to access - you only have to ask. But you need internet access, and RTK only works is you are within 20km or so of the base station.

As other have said can do a local install. A pair of RTK receivers is only $500. But you need a connection between the base station and the tractor. These farms are pretty flat so perhaps perhaps technically it's not so difficult with LORA. But these are farmers, not hackers, and perhaps it has to talk to the tractor, and perhaps the tractor is made by John Deer. It all gets very hard very quickly.

In the mean time SBAS was a off the shelf solution the dealer could sell to everyone because it worked everywhere in the country. Until it didn't.
It’s hard to overstate how far ahead of everyone else DeepMind was as far back as 7-8 years ago. When AlphaGo burst on scene it blew everyone’s mind and even redefined what’s possible by an AI agent. I had thought back then surely Google will figure out a way to convert those research breakthroughs into consumer products.

And yet here we are. If anything it’s a great example of how a “money printer” business, Google’s ad business, makes an org into a lazy, risk averse and accumulates an army of empire builders who collectively breed promo culture.

Combine that with a decade of 0% interest rates which also boosted its stock price and it’s no wonder that Google is struggling on so many fronts.
Age wise you are correct, and in California you still need a driving test (although not a super strict one).
I don’t know the reasons for it, all I know is that the first part of the flip is intentional and the rest happened because stage separation failed.

I have heard some theories on why they do this. One is that it gets around the need for “ullage thrusters”, independent thrusters that fire early to provide initial momentum forcing the fuel to gather at one end of the tank to provide full uninterrupted flow to main thrusters. Another theory I’ve heard is that it’s an attempt to develop a stage separation mechanism that doesn’t require consumables like explosive bolts or heavy special-purpose equipment like hydraulic pushers. Both seem plausible to me given the goal of a truly re-usable rocket; the vision seems to be that you literally just fill up the gas tank and go again, you don’t have to refuel independent thrusters or install a new explosive decoupler.
I'm attempting to port repetition penalty to the sampling code to make it less repetitive for gpt-2 based models. Model suggestions welcome! I will be able to get one of the smaller llamas loaded in here.
Boats are noisy and dangerous places at times, I wonder if the lexicon arose organically or intentionally on the ability to hear them clearly to avoid misunderstanding. Any pirates care to comment?
My understanding is US emission requirements scale with something like vehicle footprint.

Therefore, it's far easier to build a larger vehicle to meet the requirements.
> there's some very well developed verbalization of percussion

It's called bol[1] in Hindustani music, and koṉṉakkōl[2] in Carnatic music. The basic 4-count syllables are 'na dhin dhin na' in the former, and 'ta ka dhi mi' in the latter.

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bol_(music)

[2]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konnakol

Both are easily heard and seen performed by live musicians in the archetypal North and South Indian dance forms, Kathak and Bharatanatyam respectively.
> it's a commonly romanticized view that relationships shouldn't feel like "work" if they're good relationships

But I've already got a job and other life chores to deal with day in and day out that are stressful and exhausting. What's the point of friendship if it's just more of the same?

Sometimes I do think I want friends. Then I read threads like this and I'm not so sure.
Same thing for anybody moving to US (or California at least). No matter what foreign country license you have, if you are moving to California permanently, (not tourist), you need to get a California Licence & foreign license will not give you any discount in process.
