skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
The version in the paper only is ever multiplying by 1 or -1, so you do not need a full multiplier circuit. The weights are also stored as signed integers, not floats, so no complicated floating point circuity. I am not sure what current state of the art is, but considering the cost of multipliers/floating point circuity I would be surprised if it changed to those if signed integers work.

All branch predictors need some way of storing their state and selection logic, and the way a perceptron branch predictor stores its data is just a big table indexed by some hash of the program counter of the branch, which is pretty standard for branch predictors. Also, all branch predictors have a sort of "backpropogation" in that pipelined processors produce the actual result of the branch (possibly many) cycles later, so this also is not as much of a factor. Since the training is a function of the weights you do not need to store extra data beyond the threshold, but that is already being computed as the prediction anyways.
Not that it's any relief, but this is also the case with Windows too. MS often introduces breaking changes in the Windows API and rarely adds/updates examples.

Unfortunately, it's the norm in most massive closed source ecosystems like these.

On the one hand, it makes being a developer on these platforms pretty painful at times, and on the other hand, it also increases the value in having expertise with them.
I should note that as a protocol I suspect that ATProto is less chatty which does translate to reduced costs. It adds features on top that some may or may not want which increase costs in other ways but only for the people who want to utilize those features. It's not exactly an Apples to Apples comparison.
Now that Apple leans into services revenue it might make sense to license the OS for clones, if they could still sell you an Apple Music subscription on your Samsung iOS device. But as matwood said above in the 90s they traded high-end hardware sales for much less lucrative license fees and lost badly. It was one of the very first things Jobs tried to fix when he returned, and he ended the program because he couldn't get terms he liked from the licensees. (Which in retrospect is weird because it put them entirely out of business, but shrug.)
Intellectual Property - so there might be trade secrets, patents, etc developed in the course of research. Even if the business goes bust, they might have learned valuable lessons.
Can you give any examples of those difficult domains?

I'm an ok-ish web developer, and would love to fine some niches to specialize in like you mentioned.
Intellectual property. Patents, primarily, but also internal know-how and private research.
Funnily enough, there wouldn't be any "depletion from the ground" in the substrate either. If the charge in the substrate was removed and sent to ground, the charges in the gate would also disappear and be sent to ground simultaneously. In that case, the circuit has lost its stored valu. Ideally, this should never happen, and if it does the circuit is literally broken.
Will we ever hibernate in space?
something similar to my process when I was in university doing my internship and was doing half requirements gathering as a business analyst and half developer working on different small projects. It's really helpful to organize yourself , visualize the code, the problems, plan it out on paper and then code... less coding more design upfront.
You essentially just described the difference between low-trust and high-trust societies. In low-trust societies because minimal trust exists, violating trust has minimal consequences. With high-trust societies, losing trust has heavy consequences, because you've violated an expected social norm and it creates reputational damage.
>I’m convinced there’s a market for this

The market is very small, compared to new releases. It's not hard for an existing theater to test this

The ones that work have some unique spin, e.g. the Wurlitzer organist plays an overture, or it's a singalong, or a cult classic for meetups like RHPS, etc
There are two ways around this:

1. They are URI's, and while ActivityPub say they should be https URL's, they don't need to be, and could e.g. point at IPFS or similar.

2. JSON-LD signatures are used by Mastodon, and included in the export, and nothing stops another instance from validating those and serving them up with the original URIs in the id from new URLs, as a means of making it clear the server didn't originate them (there'd be a trust issue if the other servers is unable to get hold of the keys because the original server is gone, but no more so than if the new server had simply republished the content, so the "worst case" is to distrust the original id's).

There are some corner cases there, around trusting the identity of the old and new account represents the same user, so I do think a recovery key type scheme would be nice to allow a user to prove the old and new id is the same (if changing id; I also think we could really use decoupling the expectation that a webfinger id is inherently tied to a Mastodon account - you can sort of do that today; nothing stops you from serving up a separate webfinger result and use it as an alias, but there are usability issues to solve there).
> There's no reason to not-cheat unless you absolutely don't have to

It's a shame that being a decent person is not sufficient reason.
Needless discourse. Everyone understands there must be caveats to the Golden Rule. People aren't so literal in their moral frameworks to care about the exact wording. It's not charitable to say "what about this extremely contrived situation where the rule doesn't apply!"

The Golden Rule conveys 99% of the idea. No one cares about the remaining 1% except for people who have time to waste. We get it. We get the point Kant is trying to make.
Personally I suspect all of these official figures. The unofficial speculation isn't much better either. The theme is something like, "The PBoC secretly buys gold to avoid driving prices higher", "Fort Knox is empty! They've been dumping to suppress the gold price" and one of my personal favorites, "The London bullion market is is rigged. Unbacked paper gold is used to suppress prices. When you ask for delivery, you can only get the currency equivalent".

None of this is impossible. I find it all interesting, but it is worth noting that it is heavily biased. The PBoC secretly has more gold than stated while the west is secretly bankrupt. A gold backed CNY will emerge as the new dominant currency.

Also of interest is the emergence of the BRICS as an acronym dates back to 2001 at Goldman Sachs. There's definitely more than meets the eye and the official numbers are suspect, but the alternative numbers are speculative. Not to say that I don't find the fringe theories interesting. I just find it hard to believe either side. For me the de-dollarization hype is too orchestrated. Meanwhile the Peter Zeihan theories are too neat and tidy.

The USA is already largely energy independent. We import very little oil from Saudi Arabia. But if the price of fusion power gets low enough (questionable) then that would obviously have a huge impact on international trade.
Software engineer interviews are hard because simultaneously:

1. They are adversarial where the interviewer is trying to tell if the interviewee is cheating and evaluate their performance.

2. They are trying to, as much as possible, emulate the team-oriented work environnment where the relationships are cooperative. So the interviewer is trying to be on the interviewee's "side" as much as possible to see what it would be like to work with them.

These two goals are in opposition, which is one of the reasons why SE interviewing is so hard to do well.

If you make the interview more explicitly adversarial like examinations are, you do a better job of weeding out cheaters. But you also bias towards candidates that are comfortable with adversarial interactions and you lose vital signal about their cooperation ability.
It's like taking an idea hostage. If you fail to pull it off, you make sure that nobody else has the chance to try it without first paying you for that privilege. It's supposed to help somehow.

You can have serious acute injuries from running via physical accidents or mismanagement of hydration. You can also die driving to the market to buy toilet paper, but the risks in both cases are extremely manageable.

Life threatening or debilitating chronic health problems from running high volume are rare, and far outweighed by the overall health benefits of regular exercise. Most of the ideas that persist out there, like running being bad for your joints, are complete myths. https://www.health.harvard.edu/healthbeat/will-continuing-to...

The only thing to get screened for if you want to run marathons or more is a family history of heart defects, to avoid the very small possibility of sudden cardiac death, which is a risk with basically all intense exercise, including things like shoveling snow or other manual labor. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6070620/
But the awesome part is that you can ask it to explain parts and it usually does pretty well.

Attempts to muster and legitimize the ownership, squandering and sequestration of The Commons are growing rampant after the recent successes of generative AI. They are a tragic and misguided attempt to lesion, fragment and own the very consistency of The Collective Mind. Individuals and groups already have fairly absolute authority over their information property -- simply choose not to release it to The Commons. If you do not want people to see, sit or sleep on your couch, please keep it locked inside your home.
When resources are perceived scarce, it tends to incentivize worse behavior.
I never said that was okay either. LLMs should be open source and open data. Yes, this viewpoint shares similarities with academic journals that also rent seek.

What aspects of the UX do you think that needs improvement? For me the default layout (sidebar for email accounts and folders, upper frame for email list and lower frame for single email) looks very good. The pain is in finding the setting that I need to adjust and specifying criteria for searching emails. However if the improvement is only about making it look better, then I wouldn't buy it because "modern" designs consume more screen space and GPU. Better to have Hacker News than Discourse.

Yes there is also another factor in a chess position which is not included in this encoding which is who is next to move.

That being said the basic idea is really interesting. I'd love to see a fully opensource competitor to chessbase. For people who don't know, chessbase is a subscription service which gives you a windows-only chess analysis platform and game database. It allows you to do advanced searches (eg I want to find games by 2500+ rated players in the Caro-Kann where black has a pawn on c5 and a bishop on e7 or whatever) which advanced players use to do "prep" (deep positional analysis typically of opening positions) which they save in reams of files prior to memorization. It's probably not an exaggeration to say nearly all strong players and serious improvers subscribe to it.

Chessbase made themselves persona non grata in the opensource world by apparently ripping off parts of stockfish and selling it under the names "Fat Fritz" and "Houdini"[1] and even were that not the case it would be great to have mac and linux opensource options.

>>promotion process is distinct from the interview process

Promotions often have nothing to do with merit. It takes a lot of political manoeuvring, back room dealing, negotiations, packet building, documentation, positions trading, making allies to building support/consensus etc etc.

People who cheat are exactly the kind of people who are likely to win big in these processes.
^ This can definitely be the case in a multi-producer/multi-consumer (MPMC) scenario if CAS is involved with loops. Great care has to be taken when writing MPMC data structures without locks that are more performant then lock equivalents; they are far more complex. I think it should be called out that it seems most (if not all) of the data structures provided are single producer/consumer which generally always have much simpler designs (and limitations of use) then MPMC.
That is an economic argument for something like UBI, not an argument to artificially keep jobs and limit technological progress just so people can make money.
I’ve been using it a lot for programming, but I also have a security background and it will often generate insecure code. I’ll point it out and tell it to fix and it will.

So be careful if you don’t want AI-generated sql intentions!
There's nothing scary about this. If it works it'll be very cheap, dispatchable power with no need for storage, curtailment, long-distance transmission, or demand management. It works just as well in any location, is massively scalable, and isn't really helpful for making bombs.
We discriminate tuition based on national (even state!) origin. That's not physical segregation but it has the same result.

I'm calling for schools to just create a "international student focused" campus where they can collect all the rich international students, let them party and cheat for 4 years, collect the outrageous tuition, and shield the indigenous students from their bullshit.
Why are we so defensive concerning human created content vs robot created content? Do we really need to feel frightened by some gpt?

Whilst the output of AI is astonishing by itself, is it really creating meaningful content en masse? I see myself relying more and more on human-curated content because typical commercialized use cases of AI generated stuff (product descriptions, corp blogs, SEO landing pages, etc.) all read like meaningless blabber, to me at least.

Whenever I see some cool techbro boasting how he created his "SEO factory" using ChatGPT, I can't help but think that the poor guy is shitting where he eats without even realizing it.
Take Google with their Search and Ads; over the last decade they managed to bring down overall quality of web content that much, that I'm just completely fed up using it because by 99% chance I'll land on some meaningless SEO page.

From what I can perceive with things like HN, Mastodon, etc. it feels more like a rejuvenation of the human centric brand trusted Web. And by that I mean: Dear crawler, just use my content. Maybe you can do something good with it, maybe not. But chances are low, it's gonna replace me in any way but rather improve my content. It only leads to a downward spiral if we stick with the past of commercial thinking (more cheap content, more followers, more ads); if we'd instead switch to subscription models individuals won't get rich but we'd have a great ecosystem of ideas and content again.
I upgraded my TV recently to a high end OLED (Samsung S95B) and it's been a revelation. Watching good transfers in 4K of old black and white stuff is jawdropping. Truly filmic. Those inky blacks are a huge part of that (plus HDR, so you can have a few bright spots, like, say, streetlights, without all the midtones being crushed to gray.
appreciate that! definitely working through the bugs one by one - both bugs in our code and frankly bugs in the ScreenTime API itself. but we're starting to converge on a stable state, and to their credit Apple has been fairly responsive in moving the API along and responding to developer requests.

Seems that McDonalds has some robots to do the job quicker, without humans. I don't use their service regardless...

The same happens with AI content, I personally don't get any joy looking at AI generated images, and find absolutely horrible the video and animations it generates.

In the other hand, I understand that some people like McDonalds and trashy reality tv.
There was just a vote in SCOTUS to attempt to put an end to NY and CA's last-ditch attempts to deprive people of obtaining CCW permits without ridiculous requirements and mind boggling wait times.

Also, yes, while you may be able to get ARs, you're subject to dumb arbitrary restrictions[1] on what you can put on that AR.

And finally, CA and NY are doing their best to ban body armor. That makes me laugh, because now you can't even own methods of self-defense that aren't meant to injure anyone.

I consider CA and NY foreign nations at this point[2] (among a few others). It seems they do whatever they can to keep the common man down. They're good at one thing though: making it easy to "cheat" your reproductive system, and evade the responsibility of parenting while maintaining your rabid degeneracy as much as you want. I'm not even religious, and I find the rise in abortion disturbing. Although I guess the demographic that tend to get abortions will just be unbreeding themselves out of plurality, by definition.

> Nobody goes to an IVF clinic intent to kill babies.

Everyone goes to an IVF clinic knowing they'll kill multiple babies in the process. How can this be acceptable to a single person?

> IVF could be attempted one life at a time. What you're describing is a cost-cutting measure, a technical implementation detail of the clinic, and who said I'm not fighting against it?

You didn't say anything against it so far. So based on your statements it would be okay to abort babies to save the mothers some money, right? After all you find IVF acceptable, where they kill babies to save money?

> Killing in the pursuit of life is less worse than killing in the pursuit of death.

Really? Does the law say that? Is it generally okay to kill people if you also create new people?
> if Americans don’t celebrate lying on positive euphemisms like “fake it till you make it” or “being a good salesman”

Most Americans that I know don't consider those phrases to reflect positive values at all. They're used disparagingly against people who really think like that.
> “If they cannot have a deletion process in place that is good enough, then why did they collect the data in the first place, if they knew it?” Kissler asked.

It always shocks me how prevalent leaping before looking is.
That really depends on how fast they can capitalize on doing so. Whilst it's nice to think America would share such tech willingly, I'd offer the reality that if it's not generating a revenue, it's not being given away.
>>Your health insurance doesn't want to pay for it because they deem what the clinic charged as "too expensive"

Out of network is the reason. Simple as that.

>>we went to the clinic that is at the ski resort

The ski resort's clinic likely doesn't participate in any network similar to a cruise ship.

That's also what I use Thunderbird for. Taking control of my emails and importing/exporting them between email providers. I wonder if there is a version of such software that can run on a cloud server though.
I didn’t realize that. That seems pretty stupid. The system I describe doesn’t log any personally identifiable information.
TLDR: It really depends on where you are. Stick to the tourist and safe cities and states and you will be fine.

CDMX, Yucatan, Oaxaca, and many of the frequently touristed areas are very safe. There has been increasing cartel activity in Riviera Maya (Cancun, Tulum, etc) with shootings between cartel members being more common, but AFAIK it hasn't gotten bad enough for people to feel unsafe.

It's a whole different story in the states of Tamaulipas, Sinaloa, Chihuahua, Colima, etc. There you have strong cartel presence and constant fighting.

However, even in those states you can probably be safe if you know which areas to stick to. When I visit home (I am from Juarez, Chihuahua), I don't feel unsafe, but I do stick to the "safe" areas. Moreover, in my city, most of the violent crime is just cartel-on-cartel shootings so I don't worry about petty crime or kidnappings or what not (this was not the case back in 2008).

There are states like Guanajuato where you have record numbers of homicides. But within the state you have Guanajuato city and San Miguel de Allende that are famous tourist destinations (beautiful places) and are remarkably safe.
Good guess but it’s slightly different:

- 1 work laptop at office

- 1 work laptop at home

- 1 work laptop in second home

- 1 work desktop in second home

- 1 personal/shared laptop (mostly primary home)

- 1 personal/shared desktop (primary home)

I regularly travel between the office and the two homes (all are transit / bike accessible from each other).

I don’t like carrying laptops between places and don’t work while commuting.
Making companies liable for the data they collect is a very good thing. Before GDPR logging everything was the default. Now, every business has to think about what data they collect, what purpose it serves, which parties the data is shared with, and when the data will be deleted.

GDPR, like any big new law, has plenty of weird unintended consequences. But it’s a major step forward for privacy and consumer data rights regardless.

I understand the excitement feeling of using something like this to greatly reduce the learning effort. Before GPT/ChatGPT, it was definitely frustrating to "bootstrap" your knowledge in any new area where you don't have prior experience.

But still, I treasure the old ways I learned how to program. It was such a fulfilling experience by making newbie mistakes and getting corrected in hard ways, and you really only get the authentic insight by going through that process, and by reading all those important books chapter by chapter. It's probably not as "fun" as using GPT-4 though.
Your computer can’t really do any useful crypto mining, so I wouldn’t be too worried.

It's not true that all of the gains are captured by investors.

Alphabet's CEO makes about 1000x the average googler, but that's only about 1% of salaries. What I mean is that for every $100 a Googler makes, about $1 goes to the CEO. It's not like top executives are claiming ing most of the value for themselves, the majority of the value a worker generates is returned to them in their compensation.
