> If you want an expensive car, you should pay for the insurance to cover it.

Do you think there’s a difference in insurance premiums between the 2005 Ferrari and 2005 Hyundai?
Nothing you've demonstrated requires the use of constexpr. A const is perfectly suited for that.
> For control, I used the PCB of a travel wifi router. I soldered three small DC motors to its LED outputs. The embedded software consisted of something like:

That's a neat idea. Did you have to flash it with a custom firmware or do they typically come with netcat etc installed?
Your logic doesn't even play out in reality. The insurance negotiated rates are lower than out of pocket rates, there's a 'discount' for cash paying but you still pay more for doing them the favor of cutting the insurance companies out of it.
My best guess is culture. Google's perks went from a means to allow employees to work longer and harder to an entitlement that actually undermined productivity. It also appears they allowed internal activists to distract and delay the release of various tech–LLMs, for example, that would have given them a multi-year lead. Again, too many do-nothing marketers, PMs, DEI bureaucrats, TPMs, Directors and VPs, not enough actual builders. Maybe this is the blood letting Google needs to get it back into gear.

Yes. I agree with the FAQ. But I have heard decent arguments (that I disagree with) regarding what "blockchain" means by people I respect, and so I want to be respectful of that.
You're close, but there's something even more fundamentally wrong that goes overlooked. The noise model. Namely the use of gausssian random pixel flips. The spectrum of the noise distribution exactly gets in the way of the fine details before there's any chance to learn it. There's no chance for it to learn the layout of TV remote buttons because in the first iteration of the diffusion there's already noise of the same length scale as the buttons you want it to learn.
I did. Corporations are charging higher prices, and downstream consumer prices are up across the board. Nobody has proven a relationship to the money supply. Quite to the contrary, the Fed's interest-rate hikes have been largely ineffectual.

Many people seem eager to screw over tens of millions of renters if it means they think they’d get a better chance to buy a place.
IMO, this headline is misleading as it includes a rental car. This is not just the cost to repair.

Cost to repair was $14k. That's still insane, but it's far more believable.
You shouldn't fix it by making users choose what bit width their ints are. That's not the right answer for performance (they don't know what's fastest) or correctness (the only choices are incorrect).

If you have a variable whose values are 0-10, then its type is an integer that goes from 0-10, not from 0-255 or -127-127.
OK, I think I have a brilliant idea!

1. design a car with a bunch of cheap off-the shelf parts, but bind them in a way that requires complete disassembly and tons of man-hours of work to inspect

2. in-house repair network charges insurances

3. profit!
Won’t ChatGPT eventually eat your lunch? Once ChatGPT allows uploading documents (embeddings), what good will your app be?

The tools you’re talking about like math, wiki, or search are already built as plugins on ChatGPT.

I see so many AI apps being built, but I think ChatGPT will be general enough to cover 85-90% of use-cases using the chat UI.
Thanks! That's pretty neat. The sample images look a bit overwrought like a lot of other AI images do but I'll bet they're doing that to follow the trend rather than it being a technical limitation.
I mean yeah, renting is cheaper from a cashflow perspective. But you don’t end up with a multi-million dollar asset in 30 years.
Yes, this reminds me of the story of transistors at IBM, when they had to pick between MOSFETs vs BJTs. MOSFETs were theoretically more scalable and what Intel eventually commercialized to great success. IBM had a lot of the best electrical engineers at the time, but chose to focus on BJTs because they supported their core product, mainframes. MOSFETs could theoretically scale better but without a clear line of sight to a product line or enhancement, they chose not to aggressively pursue MOSFET r&d. It makes sense, even in retrospect, because IBM didnt want to be a chip manufacturer.

Google doesn’t want to be an LLM manufacturer. But the benefits of having the industry center on your technical underpinnings are huge, s IBM found out eventually and as Google will, one way or the other. Meta understands this, at least
Ask HN: Foundational Papers in AI
Hey HN,

For someone wanting to ramp up on what’s going on in AI right now, under the hood building these models, what are some good resources? What are your favorite reads?
Man-made Diamonds are falling in price and appealing to more people
Paradigm-wise I find these the most interesting. All the others (maybe except prolog) are really just different ways to write a sequence of instructions. HW definition is fundamentally different. It does everything all the time and you have to figure out how to make it do what you want. Lots of opportunities for tricks to sneak in some calculations on temporarily unused wires, etc.
The wrapper was named "gut". I don't recall all the details so the names below are approximate. It wrapped the git command and added project-specific options (like --first-parent) to existing git commands, introduced new ones (like "gut check" which ran the build and tests), or hid native git command which were discouraged (like rebase).

"gut sync" merged in all the changes from the branch's parent into a single child branch, fetching if appropriate. We never got around to automating sequential syncing since the CI setup was weak in this project.

"gut create" created a new cascaded branch with the necessary tracking information from an arbitrary parent branch.

"gut review" posted the cascaded branch to the code review system so the diff would turn out correct.

"gut pdiff" would show the diff of the branch relative to the merge-base of the parent.

"gut reparent" would change the parent of a branch.

"gut insert" would insert a new cascaded branch between two existing branches -- useful for inserting refactors earlier in the series.

"gut merge" which merged the branch into the parent only once various checks, like review approval and passing tests and being at the head of the stack, were satisfied.
> Sounds like a deal to train vertex ai on enterprise codebase

Needs source. Neither Github, Gitlab, AWS, Azure, or GCP legally trains anything on enterprise codebase. If they do, it would be illegal.
The back quarter panel was damaged and that piece goes all the way from the tailgate to the front windshield

This is what happens when you train people to be nothing more than parts-swappers and design with that sentiment, along with a "we'd rather you buy a whole new one" attitude. Skilled labour i.e. welding and fabrication and other metalworking skills gets rarer and even more expensive, to the point of disappearing.
Google tells staff it plans to limit publishing AI research
Well I think there's a contradiction of wants in having AI that's supposed to be the cutting edge of emulating us yet insisting that it shouldn't be anthropomorphized no matter how close it gets to emulating us.
To be fair, in a lot of cases you'd probably build multiple units on the same site which would get you some learning effects. But compared to wind, solar, and batteries...
LangChain has been so frequently discussed that I thought it must be this amazing piece of software. I was recently reading about vector databases and how they can be used to provide context to LLMs. I came across a LangChain class called RetrievalQA, which takes in a vector database and a question and produces and answer based on documents stored in the vector db. My curiosity was piqued! How did it work? Well... it works like this:

prompt_template = """Use the following pieces of context to answer the question at the end. If you don't know the answer, just say that you don't know, don't try to make up an answer.
{context}
Question: {question}
Helpful Answer:"""

My sense of wonder was instantly deflated. "Helpful Answer:". Seriously? I think LLMs are cool, but this made me realize people are just throwing darts in the dark here.
> That's true, but its not a conspiracy either

I'm not saying it's a conspiracy. Everyone is just acting in their own self interest.

> Supermajority is unstable

It hasn't always been a 50/50 split. It's a relatively new phenomenon.

> demotivated voters on the other side (or, in extreme cases, tricking them into failing to vote) is a strategy central to, and incentivized by, the electoral system.

Both can be true. They want to get more votes. They want their opponent to get less votes. They use whatever tricks they have up their sleeve to accomplish both goals. I agree redistricting and other dirty games are big part of that process. But I don't think it's controversial to say that another big part of the game plan is to sow division. Have you ever witnessed any organization that is more publicly derogatory towards their collegues than congress? It's a complete shit show.

> They usually aren’t because our system is designed with lots of veto points

That's true, and in my opinion this makes a vote for policitian X even less important, despite all of the "the future of our country is at stake" talk we hear every single election.

Good questions to which I do not have an immediate answer. What does 'property damage' cover? I could see scenarios where it included at-fault damage to other cars, but I could also see it being specifically about non-vehicular property damage.
Poll: How interested are you in watching TV or movies created by ChatGPT?
I keep reading about all the content AI can create, from digital images to TV scripts to videos to movies. With this expected volume of content creation, someone has to be around to consume it. Are you willing to spend your own time consuming AI generated content?

For this Poll, think about what you will do after the novelty wears off.
"This add-on is not available on your platform." on Desktop Linux.. what makes this windows only?
For as long as I can remember I have this thing where I hear sounds, voices and sometimes see things depending on how tired I am. It almost never happens when moving around, it sometimes happen when sitting still and often happens when trying to sleep or wake up in the morning. But always goes away as soon as I move around or start using my brain somehow.

However when consuming THC these symptoms are heightened to something that feels like 50x and they occur even when awake and moving around.

The symptoms are also heightened a little bit when consuming alcohol and especially when trying to sleep.

If I stay up very late it's also a lot more intense when trying to sleep.

I consume a lot of caffeine in general, but I don't think it heightens my symptoms directly. Maybe indirectly it makes me stay up longer depending on when I consume.

(I've had cats most of my life too!)
It's more or less an advanced personal project to stay on top of the LLM learning curve, rather than just being exposed to news and press releases. I also have an appetite for further wrapping my mind around all of this. I already work in the AI space as web-developer on the B2B & enterprise side of things. My opinion here is that there are going to be loads of use-cases and necessary plugins, which for privacy, legal and security reasons need a proprietary solution and won't be able to interface with any third party APIs, plugins or frameworks.
I thought this would happen: https://twitter.com/LechMazur/status/1617331853022711810, even though a Google Brain researcher said he didn't want it to happen: https://twitter.com/giffmana/status/1635724033307328517. It makes sense from a commercial perspective. This might slow down AI progress for those concerned about its risks.

AFAIK totaled implies that the car is undriveable unless fixed.

If a cheap <$300 car gets a dent in its paneling, it would not be considered totalled.

`const long pos_long = ftell(fp);` contains a potential implicit case in the future if the return type of `ftell()` changes.

That's one reason type inference is safer than not inferring. Your program doesn't include semantics you didn't actually intend to be part of its meaning.

Also, I think lambdas would be annoying without it.
It got a lot of traction on non-coders thinking it’s doing some magic, but if you read the source it boils down to some brittle prompts and lots of Python class boilerplate.

That is true, I'm sure there have chips that have been purposely down-binned because they needed more i5s instead of i7s (probably not right now, but back when Intel was dominating and slacking).

But even that unique case is very different from literally blocking features in a chip for extra money per month (you couldn't pay Intel to up-bin an i5 to an i7, except for the 1 or 2 times they actually tried that)
But it didn't put the DSP inside the computer, which is what made the NeXTcube interesting.

ProTools had a separate box that had the DSP farm in it. There was nothing particular unique about that (at the time) (though running a DAW on it was definitely novel when they did it).
Makes so
Much sense
However Google is saying this:

> this means that passkeys protect you against phishing and any accidental mishandling that passwords are prone to, such as being reused or exposed in a data breach. This is stronger protection than most 2SV (2FA/MFA) methods offer today, which is why we allow you to skip not only the password but also 2SV when you use a passkey.
Notepad? Clicking? I think I see the problem.
Are you working in medical/health? There are very different ethics bars for different fields. Do you see no value in having ethics committees?

Is your argument that they took appropriate precautions before releasing their paid tools publically?

My point isn’t that these AI research houses should have the same ethics committee as a university, it’s that they should have ethics committee appropriate to the risks around the work they are doing.

Right answer, wrong reasoning.
> your article says what I said, not what you are saying.

No, it says what I said: they don’t, in practice, move together, though ideally they should.

Here’s an article with a national chart since 2000 against a year 2000=100 baseline, again note that they do not, in fact, move together, though they usually (but not always) move in the same direction:

Yes, that’s what economists say when they need an excuse for making statements that are non-actionable and not predictive of real behavior on any meaningful timescale. “But this long run is a misleading guide to current affairs. In the long run we are all dead. Economists set themselves too easy, too useless a task, if in tempestuous seasons they can only tell us, that when the storm is long past, the ocean is flat again.” John Maynard Keynes, The Tract on Monetary Reform (1923)

2) Buying a house and living in it requires you to pay for it.

3) Buying a house a paying for it eventually ends when the mortgage is paid off.

4) when the mortgage is paid off, you now can choose to sell your house for money.

5) you can now use that money to buy another house in the future and live in that one.

6) you could rent out your house to others in which case they'd be paying down your mortgage.

7) when you rent out your house to others, you yourself need somewhere to live.

8) wherever you live you will need to pay for. Either through renting yourself or buying another property and paying down it's mortgage.

$10M Is Yours If You Can Get This Guy to Leave Russia
Developers nowadays want to have their cake and eat it too. They want to develop FOSS code because capitalism is evil and proprietary software is immoral and Micro$oft is the devil, man, and so give their work away for free... but whenever a company makes money on it and gives nothing back, completely in line with the letter and spirit of FOSS (because requiring compensation would violate user freedom,) they also want to get paid.

Like the entire premise of FOSS is that money doesn't matter, only freedom matters. You're not supposed to care that Google made a billion dollars off your library as long as they keep it open.
Hi! I think this is pretty cool. I was wondering if it was open source? I can't find a link anywhere :/

Using AU/VST etc. to run externally was a development that did not happen until later in the 2000s.

Waves in particular, who I worked with in the 2007-2014 era, did not do this until Linux got into shape to allow them to build plugin/DSP servers.
I'm not an expert on car values or insurance. I'm guessing the 2005 Hyundai is pretty much worthless, while the 2005 Ferrari is still somewhat valuable. Maybe I should have picked an older Ferrari? Collectors still buy and sell certain models for a lot of money I think.

If it helps, change my proposition to use a 2015 Ferrari as the example.
SQL is based on Relational Algebra a mathematical foundation for modeling, factoring and joining data. In this it’s probably unique. Other languages may be based on other mathematical models such as pure functional languages being based on lambda calculus etc.

Ah good point. Though even then, I looked up googles annual revenue for 2022 on the play store and it’s some 40B for the year (can’t find quarterly for some reason).

That’s still impressive for Apple given everything totalled from their top competitors is roughly equal to their own services.
There’s always DSP for those who need a lightweight but powerful programming model — not a library of predefined prompts and integrations.

It’s a very different experience from the hand-holding of LangChain, but it packs reusable magic in generic constructs like annotate, compile, etc that work with arbitrary programs.

> Knowing how much memory your numbers take up is important for many applications, so I find things like "auto i = 5" to be questionable.

Automatic variables[0] don't take up any defined amount of memory. They certainly don't take up exactly sizeof(i) memory.

Struct members and global variables are more likely to do what you say; in that case it will be either not be allowed or will be sizeof(int). Conversely, `long i = 5` is two different sizes (long vs int) which could be a latent bug.
