Absolutely, and if you eliminated all of that... most americans would still want a car, because it lets them get out.

Look... I live in the inner city. Realistically, I walk everywhere most of the week. However, I keep a car so I can get to the mountains 50 miles away. That is the main reason I keep a car and my main usage of it (and to also visit family and friends who live more rurally).

The old Burroughs COBOL compiler had 8 passes, supposedly so it could run on machines with about a megabyte of disk, and 64Kb of memory.

The output of the 7th stage was an intermediate code; my guess is that part of the reason there were so many stages was to enable most of the compiler to be language-independant. If you renamed the executable for the 8th pass, you could hack on the intermediate code with an editor, and make COBOL programs that could do illegal things, like access IO directly.

I suspect a lot of the passes were common to the ALGOL compiler.

The higher up failed to see the difference in "users", as well as use cases.

In Wikipedia, the user is same as the content creator: the general public, with a subset of it contributing to the Wikipedia content.

In OpenStreetMaps, one category of users are also creators: general public needs a "map" product, and a subset of them like contributing to the content.

But there's another category of users: businesses, who keep their hours/contact/reviews updated. OpenStreetMap doesn't have a nice UX for them.

As for use cases: underlying map data sure, but one needs strong navigation features, "turn right after the Starbucks", up-to-date traffic data.

This all makes it so different from Wikipedia vs Encarta.

There is also another funny thing in the image, the user posting about is sending one from "retr0-id.translate.goog", which is odd. Somehow he has got https://retr0-id.translate.goog/xrpc/com.atproto.identity.re... to redirect to his page, and gotten that handle as well.

It seems off to me to suggest symbolic, associative, abstract thought "subconscious". Active thought comes in many forms, if I'm thinking hard about something there is certainly nothing at all like an inner monologue doing the actual work or reaching conclusions, nor is the process itself describable - though the result is, what with my brain not being severed in two. Vocalizing thoughts - whether silently or out loud - is mostly to make the more efficient means stay on track.

I wouldn't say that means most of my consciousness in such a state is subconscious, or that failing to reach a useful result means there wasn't "aware" computation.

An anology would be two co-processors, where one is responsible for IO. Your idea of two entities simply doesn't apply if the interconnect is intact. Unity isn't an illusion just because the entire inner process isn't fully shared across.

And isn't the part about the subconscious making decisions and the conscious merely catching on or rationalizing mostly about basic ones that _by definition_ don't require much thought?
Discord missed a chance to build a community. That might sound absurd, but what separates Discord from HN (among many other things) is that we have consistent identities here. You can go and see what I’ve been up to. Ditto for me being curious about you. That curiosity is an important factor, and Discord’s naming system didn’t foster it at all.

I’m theshawwn on Twitter. shawwn on GitHub. sillysaurusx on HN. I was once on discord for years, till I left — and when I left, I felt no loss. There was nothing attaching me to discord. If I abandoned any of those others, it would feel awful; my entire ML history is codified in twitter, and anyone can go read it. Whereas I can’t even remember what my discord username was.

You might be thinking that you’d lose the servers. If you leave discord, you have to rejoin everywhere if you make a new account. But rejoining is easy; it’s the point of discord to join servers. So that’s not really “a thing” the way that my HN comments are a thing, or my GitHub repos, or tweets.

This change is the first step in letting users feel attached to discord. If they play their cards right, you’ll start to feel like “this is me” the way that those other services feel like a part of you. Being able to link someone to discord.gg/shawwn (or whatever) is no small thing — it’s a reason to care about staying on discord at all.

I don’t know if this change will matter at this point, but it’s nice to see them still pivoting and trying to fix their fundamentals. Making big changes to community software is such a tricky thing (how many times have we seen a mass exodus? I can think of at least 7, with digg being the limit case of what not to do) so I respect that they’re willing to take a risk at this point in their growth stage.
What on earth Thai study are you talking about? I provided my sources.

> Excess deaths are remaining stubbornly high in highly vaccinated countries.

That, not to put too fine a point on it, is because everyone became fat during COVID lockdowns.

> About 42% of U.S. adults reported undesired weight gain in the first year of the pandemic, with 29 pounds gained on average, a recent survey shows. [1]

An average increase of 29 pounds and a drinking problem for half the population is going to do a hell of a lot of the heavy lifting (pun intended) in regards to excess mortality.

I look forward to your theories on the moon landing, cadet ;)

Again this is all proportionality bias. Excess mortality is up because we're fatter now. Substantially. Off an already high baseline. And we drank a lot.

IMO permanent locking is just useless feature that increases e-waste unnecessarily. It doesn't stop attacker from dumping whatever is running on the device and just exploiting it then replacing board with unsecured rPi/CM4, it just allows vendors to lock in their stuff even more.

I'd rather prefer alternative like say device have private key that can be used to validate device's "authenticity", and that key is:

* unavailable if device is not booted via secure boot

* resetted if you reset secure boot to turned off

Then:

* software can use it as "device key/license key" for proprietary applications, acting as mini-HSM akin to TPM; sign the generated public key with company's cert on device production and if it ever gets put out of the secure mode, byebye license.

* no total bricking, no landfill, hackable devices.
And imagine if instead of wasting their time on that they added more features to the vehicle, or made existing features better.

How about placing more emphasis on the family unit? Family bonds are stronger than anything else. If you encourage everyone to work then people may get the misguided idea that careers are more important than families.

It comes across as something from an open source enthusiast outside Google. Note the complete lack of references to monetization. Also, there's no sense of how this fits with other Google products. Given a chat engine, what do you do with it? Integrate it with search? With Gmail? With Google Docs? LLMs by themselves are fun, but their use will be as components of larger systems.
I stopped using Google Maps in my car with CarPlay, because the map would lag by about 5 seconds to reality, which is really bad at say 55 mph in a place where you’re not familiar.

The games for the most part are good. Yeah, MSFT has dropped the ball several times, and as others said in the article's comments - it seems that a lot of the times when MSFT buys a studio, the studio's output tends to nosedive in terms of quality.

That said, MSFT still is lightyears ahead of Sony or Nintendo when it comes to a robust, centralized online ecosystem for multiplayer games....which is what a lot of people tend to play. Nintendo can have their single-player first party games that don't really have much replay value and their first party games that are good family fun, like Mario Kart or Mario Party or whatever. Sony can have their exclusives like Spider-man, and good for them. Nothing against them. But people will turn out in droves to play CoD, FIFA, Madden, GTA, etc... online. And that's where the future of gaming is - online multiplayer. And that's where MSFT is untouchable.

The problem cannot be solved by treating adults like children or by imposing censorship. Education and increasing awareness of the problem is one way to solve it. But those in power probably don't want a population with good critical thinking skills, because those in power will lose their ability to manipulate or otherwise control the population.

And when I mean those in power, it's not just the government, it's those making the headlines in the newspapers, our managers in the workplace, and even our parents. All of them would, on some level at least, be against us having excellent critical thinking skills. Because to do so, is a threat to power in general, especially illegitimate power. And should be encouraged as much as possible.

Google put out the Chinchilla paper last year, showing that GPT-3 and others could have gotten better at the same size by just shoving more tokens at them in further training loops. The paper showed some snazzy curves where more training time and data equalled better quality, and speculated / demonstrated that a lot more training tokens and time could get better quality out of smaller models than GPT-'s 175B.

The was, for a minute, ignored, because the PaLM paper came out very shortly thereafter which seemed to show, pretty conclusively, that there are unusual and exciting emergent behaviours coming out of much larger models, (PaLM is 540B parameters), and so that was hotter news.

In the meantime, some really smart folks looked at the Chinchilla curve, and were like "hmm. One way to think about this is to see that if you are willing to put a LOT more compute in upfront on a model, then the inference costs go down in some sub-linear function."

Llama's architectural instincts are that if you're going to give away a model, and it is going to get run on the edge, it might make sense to spend a whole, whole lot of compute, once, training something past what the paper considered optimal, and well into the point where the paper thought of it as "not worth it", precisely because the entire world might be able to run it if you can get something good and much smaller.

Conclusively, OPT and LLMs from its era are significantly 'under-trained' compared even to GPT-3, itself undertrained by something like an order of magnitude from where the Chinchilla paper implies they should be.

I guess I made up the phrase over and under-trained; their might be some other way to talk about it elsewhere. Sorry! :)

It depends on the drug (and maybe the state).

I have to show ID for a couple of prescriptions I have, and my understanding is that it then goes into some kind of database that gets cross-referenced between pharmacies to make sure that I don't have multiple prescriptions at multiple pharmacies.

I think that came about as part of the opioid crisis, because some people would have 5 different doctors write prescriptions for the same meds to 5 different pharmacies. No one had a way to detect that someone was getting 5 oxycontin prescriptions.
That's all fun and games if you want `foo` to be used in some `else` block but it just straightup wrong for using `foo` further down in the method as it scopes the decl (`:=`) to the `if`

One example - they mine people's labour of searching beyond the first page of results - so when a small % of people really dig into results, they can infer which the good sites are deeper in (e.g. by when you settle on one).

Bing doesn't have enough traffic to do this as well, so is less good at finding quality new sites, reducing overall quality.

The fact that software falls under copyright was a conscious decision in 1978 because they couldn't find a better place to put it under; so "writing software" was equated to writing books or poetry.

The point here is that copyright requires a human to have created something using their own labor/creativity.

The result of an algorithm run by a machine isn't a creative work under these definitions.

To be fair, it shows some character/culture/? which makes it stand apart from all of the other corporate releases out there. If it were good news it'd certainly hit different.
Police/security could be called on a resident every time they walk into the hallway of their building, and landlords would tell them "we've put in a support ticket with our facial recognition vendor, we'll let you know their response in 4-6 weeks".

Or residents could be locked out of the building with no way to get in for weeks at a time.

Just facial recognition wouldn't have a point - landlords are going to use this data for something, and that something is likely to interfere with residents quiet enjoyment of their residence.
The EU is a single market, with free movement of capital. This means the risk-free rate ought to be the same EU-wise regardless of currency. If interest rates are significantly higher in a particular EU country compared to the rest, it probably means the markets have determined that that particular interest rate isn't risk-free.
Nope, absolutely fucking none of that. The "baby" in here is not a baby, it is a gigantic pile of dogshit that seconds as a tracking device. I'm more than happy to get rid of all of it.
What would be interesting is if we have continued high interest rates whether the push for monthly subscriptions will subside.

Recurring revenue brought back for a DCF at an interest rate of 5-6% is very different from when an interest rate of 0-1% is used.

Also if the credit crunch gets worse with continued high interest rates, access to the upfront capital from the customer to fund expansion/R&D becomes a lot more interesting compared to when banks are throwing money at you.
