ive only regarded it as a literal system call, the lowest possible level, “language agnostic” api that does a thing in the OS. do you have some deeper insight?
On top of the video player hover over the "x peers" on the bottom, it will tell you how much data you downloaded, uploaded, and how much of the download came from peers or the server.

Maybe for people of a certain age. But there is a whole generation of people (some of whom are on HN) who have only ever known a world where everyone wanted the latest iThing. It's been probably 15 years since you could seriously consider Apple an underdog in the tech space.
You can pay for 4chan and bypass the blocks: https://www.4channel.org/pass

Costs $20 per year and can be paid with various cryptocurrencies. Since 4chan keeps IP logs, this seems like a good deal for someone leaking company source code.
Exactly!

It's much easier to start from a database and add vector search as one of the features, then to go backwards. We have spent 7.5 years on the DBMS part, while the vector search can literally be added in a week...

And that's why every major modern database is now integrating such solutions :)
I'm trying to think where any of this is explicitly banned. You can do subscriptions with various tiers, various one time consumable purchases and various one time permanent purchases. And things like games make this a bit easier with the ability to buy generic in game currency that you can spend within the internal game store. On top of that, if the service is not 'digital' you can use your own payment infra and skip the %30 cut. Like Uber or buying physical goods from an e-commerce store.

Like video fundraisers, paid messages, creator subscriptions, tips, interactive paid streams and tiered subscriptions can be covered by consumable credit purchases and credit subscriptions. What are the explicit rules or history of rejections banning this?
Somebody might be running wireless in there at some point. But I agree it's a neat thought.
What sort of dataset are you indexing that has trillion entries?

That's 100,000 english wikipedias or 50 googles.
Perhaps, with internet access, these AI could open bank accounts (with plausible-enough forged ID - a task which AI excels at), then work on e.g. Fiver, then gamble on the stock market... Where they go from there is anybody's guess.
This bears a strong resemblance to RAM and caches where cache lines are relatively large so you want to optimize your algorithms to touch as few "cache lines" as possible. So even in RAM random IO is slower than sequential IO.
I never did get my hands on a Librem despite preordering it and waiting, but I have a PinePhone from Pine64. It can use the same Phosh launcher UI used in Librem's PureOS (depends on which OS you have installed). Phosh is nice enough, though some of the UI decisions do feel a bit weird.

The Pinephone (not pro) I got was slow and the software was very alpha, but I've heard it's better now. Again, not sure about the Librem as I got stuck in the queue and gave up eventually. I heard there were Librem5 overheating issues and I'm not sure if that's been adequately addressed.

Phosh on the Pinephone definitely wasn't snappy. Maybe it will be snappier with Pro and a new update since I haven't tried it out again in years. I never got around to syncing things too much, but there are definitely email clients on Linux that'll work though how "mobile" their UI is, I'm not sure. Purism created libhandy[0] that's now managed my GNOME to mobilify these things and again I'm not sure about the status, but I'm sure Email was a high priority.

Because at the end of the day, the problem with ads isn't that they're annoying, or get in the way, or are garish, or whatever else. The problem with ads is that they are ads.

I tried my hand at estimating their parameter count from extrapolating their LAMBADA figures, assuming they all trained on Chinchilla law: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fvy4xNkXgAEDF_D?format=jpg&name=...

If the extrapolation is not too flawed, it looks like PaLM 2-S might be about 120B, PaLM 2-M 180B, PaLM 2-L 280B.

Still, I would expect GPT-4 trained for way longer than Chinchilla, so it could be smaller than even PaLM 2-S.
Right, that’s just typically used to validate the port/connectivity

Tailwind is a CSS framework, and some soon-to-be cancelled product from Google that shares (stole) its name isn't going to change that in my mind. Honestly, that name collision seems in poor taste. They couldn't come up with a name that's not already used by a popular open source project?
> there is good precedent and this justification is less necessary

I guess this is more or less the reason. They probably see themselves as the first line of defence in internal security unlike at other democratic countries.

The repeated military intervention in internal matters has set off a positive feedback loop where those capable enough and wanting to bring positive impact join the military. So remaining institutions (civil services, police, law& order, politics etc.,) continue to erode and get more corrupt.
Ran a fleet of servers with terrible BMCs. We kept those on a well-sealed-off private network.

Woe betide you if you run into one of the BMC implementations that shares a host network interface; no separate cable! These things are terrible from a security standpoint.
It relies on a separate client for playback, which can be an open source client like librespot/spotifyd, or an official client. It's also mostly older systems using the older, deprecated, playback client that aren't compatible with the Web API afaik.

It may not affect the economics of your situation, but if you do projects on a regular basis, this might help.

When I order parts for a project, my baseline rule is "order 3: one to break, one to use, one to kick around in your parts drawer for next time". Then I go back through my order and increase quantities of parts I know that I'll be needing again for future projects until the order total is high enough to qualify for discounts on shipping.
Even more remarkable with rail.
The Python builds from the WebAssembly language runtimes [0] project target the WebAssembly System Interfaces (WASI) [1]. It allows the Python interpreter to interact with resources like the filesystem.

Many server-side Wasm runtimes supports WASI out of the box. For the browser, you need to provide a polyfill to emulate these resources like the one provided by the WASI team [2].

Regarding SQLite, these builds include libsqlite so you should be able to use it :)

From a nuts and bolts perspective, I've been thinking of building some reactivity on top of https://github.com/dagworks-inc/hamilton (author here) that could get at this. (If you have a use case that could be documented, I'd appreciate it.)
So it uses it/she pronouns? Usually the object pronoun is second; does that mean that it wants people to call she "it" unless they're doing something to she? That's off the chain, and sounds like meta-trolling.
> HN wrongly thinks of crypto as a financial system (which it can do, for good and bad reasons thanks to its permissionlessness),

That's how it's implemented in real life, so that's what people's takeaway is going to be. What was the last dApp anybody used that wasn't a pay-to-play game, or crypto marketplace?

You may as well say communism is theoretically sound, but people will continue to get hung up on the fact that's it's real-world implementations have always led to despotic leadership.

No.. just no. Don't watch anything by Thunderf00t. It has been too many times now that he has clearly put out just the lowest effort thing he can make to "debunk" some topic. Doesn't matter. People will view his videos anyway. I think "debunking" channels are inherently problematic because they attract viewers who like to feel smart, but don't actually want to deeply understand a topic. The conclusion is already pre-determined. The topic has to be debunked.

Improbable Matters video is.. OK. He raises some valid concerns. I think he was genuinely trying to understand and critisize the technology honostly. Though it seems he misunderstands some key facts. I've never seen that kind of honesty with Thunderf00t.

predicated on intelligence ~ ethics&planning, I think this is the first argument against AI doomsday that I agree with.

Questioning the premise tho - what do you define as intelligence? Machines can outperform humans at specific tasks, yet those same machines don't have a greater degree of ethics, even if constrained to their domain (i.e., a vision network may be able to draw bounding boxes more accurately than a human, but that doesn't say anything about its ability to align with more ethical values). Which makes me believe that your definition of intelligence has nothing to do with superseding humans on cognitive metrics.
>>"...because 1) they don't seem to understand human anatomy, and 2) the space of all possible transitions is massive..."

I have often thought that we need an empirical-ish library of human movement/positions... we have a beginning small version with Ballet's positions and movements, but we dont have a necessarily precise dialogue for human positions common to every body, as opposed to just the athletic dancers.

how did you reverse engineer a custom encrypted protocol? i wouldnt even know where to begin.
What's the best place to order form china?
It's not a problem of being paranoid about TLS. It's a problem with well intended middleboxes which worked at the time, but now do harm instead. It's easy to say that people should of updated by know. But that's hard to force when nobody fully knows what will break ( ipv4 to ipv6 for example).

QUIC works better becuase UDP haven't gotten the same treatment as TCP and TLS. It brings with it other problems . One problem for example being NAT's sometimes poor handling of long lasting UDP connections. But QUIC has functionality to handle that.

> I wouldn't allow some unknown UDP protocol to go out unnoticed

A bit of a compromise has been made in this regard by using something called a spin bit.

The author failed to cite hard numbers, but they can be found elsewhere:

https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/currencies/dollar-d...

"In a Monday note, strategists Joana Freire and Stephen Jen calculated that the greenback accounted for about two-thirds of total global reserves in 2003, then 55% by 2021, and 47% last year."

You can make the argument that the decline of this number will be a lot slower than 2021-2022 going forward, or that it will perhaps bottom out at a relatively high number. But the trend is there.

I'm arguing against the strength of your statements based on methodologically unsound experiments that do not "very very clearly indicate" anything beyond pose a few questions for which there are several different hypothetical answers. All of which have zero evidence behind them.

Similarly, the initial comment of 'does the brain know what the brain is doing. The answer so far does not seem to be "yes."' is misleadingly suggesting there is a shred of evidence supporting that the answer is 'no' or that the answer is 'not yes'. There are no answers so far, just questions.

If anything, there are more unified consciousness hypotheses than otherwise, although if you refer back to my original reply I did not make this assertion: 'I think the correct statement is "so far the answer is we don't know"'

> It is not "paradoxical" but yes it does conflict with some reported experience.

Rather than belabour the experiment results and implications here is a great peer-reviewed article by experts in the field: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7305066/

> Regarding addiction, it is very, very commonly reported that addicts will go into "autopilot" like states while satisfying their addictions and only "emerge" when they have to face consequences of their behaviors. Again, subjectively reported, but so is the experience of unitary consciousness! If we cannot trust one then we shouldn't take it as granted that we can trust the other.

The dopamine reward system understanding (which by the way is probably the most well-validated and widely believed model in neurobiology) provides a rational explanation for addiction.

You haven't explained what is self-contradictory, that a few case reports exist of patients claiming they went in and out of consciousness? That's not a contradiction.

Yes, but there's not nearly as many of those jobs and they require advanced training. The beauty of the classic fast food "McJob" was that you could learn it in a couple days with no prior experience and make just enough money to be worthwhile as a teenager's summer job.

The more random it is, the harder it is to have certainty, but at high enough transmission rates and powers the raised noise floor is impossible to miss and is definitely something that can be triangulated.

If a normal radio transmission is a point light of a specific color, truly random spread spectrum is a grey glow.

Direct sequence spread spectrum being many different color flashing lights here, I guess.
I really like Bing Chat. Ability to extract the exact thing I'm asking for from found websites is something that's valuable enough to prefer it over google in many of my searches. Ability to ask further questions in context also feels great. Feels like first meaningful improvement in search in two decades.
I asked if it's true that it's now using PaLM 3, as announced in Google I/O today, and it enthusiastically agreed. The previous question was asking the same question but with PaLM 2 and it agreed to that as well. I followed up asking about this discrepancy, and it said:

"I apologize for the confusion. I am still on PaLM 2. PaLM 3 is not yet available to the public. I am excited for the release of PaLM 3, and I hope that it will be a valuable tool for people all over the world."

My initial results are very disappointing. It's very strongly parroting information I give it, basically rephrasing my question and adding maybe a sentence worth of additional details. Sometimes, it does well, but I have no way to reproduce that kind of quality on demand. I feel it was conversationally better before any recent changes.

I understand that this is still beta, but for some questions, I already produce similar or better results locally. I also might be talking to PaLM 1 or even LaMDA, no way to confirm.
For this particular project, Python is a requirement.

For the general approach, the answer is more complicated. It depends on what hooks the language implementation exposes -- and even if it exposes enough to make this work in theory, tracking dataflow at the same level of accuracy and granularity as IPyflow does may not be possible without taking an unacceptable performance hit, or without sacrificing portability across language versions.

My hope is that the approach can scale to languages like Julia or R, but I'm not as familiar with those languages as I am with Python, and I kind of suspect each language may require its own bespoke tricks.

Regardless, for Python it was a journey roughly 3 years in the making (and still ongoing) -- other languages would be easier now that I've learned a fair amount, but the work to add this kind of support is by far the most complex I've ever done.
Yes, quite well.

> Most AM4 boards put an x16 slot direct to the CPU, and an x4 direct linked NVMe slot. That's 20 of the 24 lanes; the other 4 lanes go to the chipset, which all the rest of the peripherals are behind. (There's some USB and other I/O from the cpu, too). AM5 CPUs added another 4 lanes, which is usually a second cpu x4 slot.

Mine just go to second NVMe weirdly enough.
FCP 7 was dominant but the disaster of early versions of FCP X forced a bunch of shops to switch to Premiere.

There are still things that make Premiere better. Recently I couldn't get an mp4 from a Sony cam to play at the right speed in FCP no matter what I tried, and it just worked in Premiere. I'm more fluid in FCP but I will probably switch too as Premiere just "feels more pro" now to me.

> It fundamentally changed the way I think about computers at every level

I had the exact same revelation also in the late 90s! (~1998 for me). I was already telnetting into servers a bunch and was getting into running an Apache server. I remember the moment I typed "GET / HTTP/1.1" into port 80 so clearly because it suddenly turned the "web" and "HTTP" into something comprehensible with composable parts I could understand at a deeper level.

In our current world of SSH and HTTPS, it seems less likely the new generation will have the same experience. But we also have browser developer tools nowadays which make it so much easier and motivating for someone to start to learn the about the web and JavaScript. In the 1990s I had to use proxomitron to painstakingly modify a webpage's JavaScript or HTML, but these days it's dead simple.
