I thought this was going to be about IoT, and was expecting more useless trashing on a very useful tech that's still just beginning and still fixing the issues.

But nope, this actually is utter crap that robots are crapping out into our eyeballs because we scroll all day because the robot crap eye drops made us forget our previous, more effective means of dopamine seeking. It's almost as bad as the misery making algorithms Facebook uses to maximize engagement.
I live in a walkable inner ring Chicago suburb, and commute to work by bike or the El. Snow cleanup is excellent in our suburb, and we can get to things we want to drive to in bad weather on roads where the speed limit is never over 25 mph.

Ask HN: Will PrivateGPT run on a Raspberry Pi?
I don't understand your comparison to youtubers? They get paid for their work, and complain when the platform demonetizes their videos without being transparent in their reasoning.

I understand if you meant that they were complaining about their views decreasing, or their content not being compatible with the guidelines of the platform, but that is in my experience not that common.

It feels to me like that part of your argument is just a subjective stab at the value of youtube as a job in society.
Well, an article like this is the place to point out that "suburbs" is not a unitary concept.
David Deutsch’s “Physics Without Probability” covers the history of probability, it’s legitimate and misconceived uses and concludes that according to MWI there is no such thing in reality - it’s basically that probabilities correspond to how measures of the multiverse proportion themselves as differentiation occurs.

I watched it a few years ago so may be misremembering bits but I think that is the gist…

Worth a watch especially if you balk at this idea just to to see a strong counter argument.

Most part if you actually need stuff done, you can afford 20$ for OpenAIs proven models.

These local projects are great because maybe eventually they will have a equivalent model that can be run on cheap parts
And if you occasionally cruise a old Sunday show car, there is not shame upgrading that 2 point belt to a 3 point ( if that same car model eventually got 3 points in them)
Have gotten similar calls from "NY Sergeants Association" too. This is surely the tip of the iceberg though as it doesn't even cover all those political fundraising PACs that are similarly running these fraudulent rackets raising money for candidates when in fact they're just funding themselves on loop.

Some that come to mind stop-republicans.org, Progressive Turnout Project:
https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/progressive-turnout-project...
https://www.opensecrets.org/political-action-committees-pacs...

We can see the vast majority of funds raised just go to themselves and very little to the causes they profess. Just scamming small and big donors alike, with no FTC or FEC actions whatsoever. Seems like this is a giant loophole for fraud that gets even worse with automation year after year.
Depending on what assets you have you may be looking at short term vs long term cap gains.

This strategy could cut your tax burden if you hold short term assets into long term category.

You could also strategically take losses as well which could also reduce tax burden.
> we are increasingly in need of a countering force. We are currently suffering under the tyranny of the anonymous!

Are you? What happens if this "need" isn't filled? Just because you can't probe popular opinion with an open comment system, it doesn't mean it is a requirement for society to work. We have systems to vote that work and don't have these issues. Simple paper ballots work really well.

> It is astonishing that so many people are still swayed by such outdated cyberpunk ideologies

Private companies and governments have never collected as much data as they do now, mostly without real consent, and they are getting the means to exploit this data very efficiently now with AI. The cypherpunk ideology (cyberpunk is a fictional sci-fi genre, although it's kinda related with its themes) applies more than ever in this context, it actually predicted the situation we are living, so I can't agree with you when you claim it is "outdated". Individuals should value their ability to be anonymous if they intend to remain somewhat free, this is the "counter" to mass surveillance.
I think you may have misread the article. The point made with the sources like Breitbart is the imbalance between left and right when deprecating, not that Breitbart is a particularly worthy source that has been unfairly served.
It's a shame since Vice's "Motherboard" was pretty good and even broke a few big stories. They understood hacking and tech in ways that traditional media didn't and weren't afraid dig in and involved. Print papers always were so passive, reporting other's investigative work.
The thing about the UK is that it snows so infrequently* that it's just not worth the investment to deal with it properly. Where I live in the south, I think we've had snow on the roads maybe twice in the last four years, each time for only 1-2 days. The entire country grinds to a halt when it happens, but it happens rarely.

*Or at least it's infrequent these days, I'm sure it snowed a lot more often when I was growing up, and my parents tell me that back in their day it would reliably snow a lot every winter. Must be a Chinese hoax.
Well, time will tell if it's a silver lining or not. In my experience, the traditional media tries to follow the trends instead, like clickbait was just done in scammy websites at first, then more and more "legitimate" websites started doing it and now I sometimes see even The Guardian doing clickbait titles sometimes.

My fear is that they will start using those AI tools instead of doubling down on quality, because they didn't double down on quality before so why would they now?
Agreed. The real adaptation is more aggressive management with a short trigger to pip someone or fire them.

Better and more engaged line managers solves the problem.
Even when I'm on an actual newspaper's site, I only briefly check the headline and give the article a token perfunctory skim, then spend the bulk of my time reading the comments.
How about reloading parts of the model as the inference progresses instead of splitting it into GPU/CPU parts? Reloading would be memory-limited to the largest intermediate tensor cut.
No thanks.

Seriously develop whatever you want to, but telling users what to do is a whole other class of unaware.
An important part of designing a curriculum that seems often overlooked is how likely it is that a student will enjoy it, and consequently whether they will even go through with it. Sure, we could speculate at what the optimal training regime would be to force upon a child, but schools unfortunately are not allowed to do that.

Too often, good teachers find themselves working as hype-men rather than educators. I've often said that if a student doesn't want to learn a subject, you basically can't teach them anything about it. And on the flip side, if a student really wants to learn something, you almost can't stop them.
You seem to have a weird fetish for composable ranges seeing your history of comments on exactly this topic (even this thread!). The number of times I have had to think about composability as you mention is close to zero. In fact, the off-by-one errors with C class of languages due to the open ended nature of the interval have bit me about 3-4 orders of magnitude more. There is an entire class of security bugs because of this. I find this obsession very strange, YMMV obviously.
The "pull requests welcomed" and the "don't send in pull requests" maintainers are presumably different people.
Yeah, because no other social media service does it, and Twitter didn't do it before Musk.

And how is this predicated on deleting inactive accounts? Companies usually use inactive accounts to inflate the active user stats, by presenting them as active.

Sure, they can then say "everybody remaining has logged within 30 days, so is an active user" which would not be accurate (could just be logging not to lose the account or whatever). But they could inflate their active user count way more, in even muddier waters, by keeping the old inactive accounts and overcounting (as is the standard SV practice).

So, if inflating their active users was the intention, deleting inactive accounts is the opposite of convenient.
Tbf this is a good attitude to have even when it's not snowing.
I've been using OpenSnitch on Linux for some time now as well. While the user interface can be finicky at times, it's generally working very well. My biggest annoyance would be creating robust rules for applications using runtimes like Python, Java, Node, Electron or even Wine. After a bit of trial and error, I often end up with a relatively complex regular expression for the specific command and its possible parameters, that may or may not work for all future invocations.
Twitter used to routinely challenge Turkey’s takedown requests
So who’ll be the first to write a userscript that background loads Twitter once every couple of weeks?
A year ago, Twitter allowed ordinary folk to bother powerful people.

Now it doesn't.

That's what the deal was always about.
That seems unfair. The profession and the platform are not the same thing - obviously there is a lot of risk in building your business on someone else's platform, but what are their other options?
Can't tell if you're joking, but it seems pretty clear. If you are a news outlet, reporting on something written by someone else — for example, a government report, a scientific article, even a tweet — it makes sense to link to that external resource in the article. Yet, many websites refuse to do that, because it takes eyeballs away from the ads they're serving. I'd cite a reference supporting what I'm saying here, but I don't want you to stop reading my comment and go to a new page, just take my word for it.
No, because you’re gaining interest on your unpaid taxes.

Suppose you have exactly 1 million and must pay 1 million in taxes on year 0. That means you’re left with 0$.

Now suppose you can defer exactly 1 year, so you owe 1 million + taxes on your interest in year 1. Taxes on that interest are < 100% so you now have > 0$. That’s equivalent to lowering your tax bill even if nominally you eventually pay more.

But what happens if you can avoid paying taxes for say 10 years or 100? Delay long enough and for all practical purposes the actual tax disappears.
I haven't tried the fine-tuned variants yet, but when I played around with it shortly after the leak, it tended to quickly derail into nonsense when you let it complete sentences or paragraphs, especially when using other languages than English. When I tried to get it to produce Python code, most of the time it wasn't even syntactically correct.
There are many YouTube channels that are more helpful to other people than most day jobs would ever be.
The related posts at the bottom of that article partly explain why it's happening...
Sorry but I have to disagree. The district my father hails from is the second biggest luxury car market in the country, and not even 30 years back, it was the most backward in the entire state as well as one of the poorest in the country. A generation of education later and we have one of the most affluent districts in the country. In the coming years, I expect more of this boom to occur in other districts (and it's already happening). Just drive around Rajasthan or Haryana these days - that's where the markets are growing now.

As for Chennai, it's a different story. In my experience, rich Tamilians tend to flaunt wealth less prominently as a cultural trait, unless you're talking nouveau riche politicians and entertainment industry people. I've met Tamilians all over the world and they have consistently been comparatively down-to-earth in terms of material wealth. An old friend's dad was a producer for several Rajnikanth movies, yet he drove around in a Hyundai.
That's a broader question, but in general: it doesn't matter what I think about Nvidia's business. I could be correct all the way, but if other people disagree with me, they won't pay me for the shares.

It's also not necessarily about the 2021 peak but why isn't Nvidia bigger? allegedly it's a necessary component to a technology that can replace hundreds of millions of people (worth trillions in economic output). And unlike OpenAI, Nvidia wins no matter which company wins the model competition.
Why do you think it would be cheaper for any organization to do this on the side, vs. a dedicated specialist like WeWork? The unit economics with fully loaded costs are not very good, and for a company with a little extra capacity it's a huge distraction. They couldn't run it like the residential side where hosts shift huge costs onto thir surrounding ecosystem, or just take big risks with no mitigation.
But isn’t the inheritance tax (for everything over $12 mil until 2026) even larger than the capital gains tax? And it applies to the whole value, not only the increase in value.

This submission title is extremely misleading. What the document actually says is this:

> We encourage people to actively log in and use Twitter when they register an account. To keep your account active, be sure to log in at least every 30 days. Accounts may be permanently removed due to prolonged inactivity.

[emphasis mine]

May be after prolonged inactivity is not the same as will be after 30 days.
You gave an awesome answer in 2 minutes! Might be faster than reading!
I think there are two scenarios which both call for different solution.

One scenario is when your goal is to make something new. Something, that would feel different and have different ergonomics. This is like inventing a Python when there are mostly C-style and Pascal-style languages.

Other is when you are interested in a particular behaviour of the language. Like type system. Why should you bother whether you write let x = 5; or int x = 5; when all you are interested in is its type. This is likely the case of this paper.
I think we should understand that new generations are currently shaping the future in general. See [1] and the same could be applied worldwide: if it is politics or finances.

IMHO the issue in the context of wealth is if would serve a purpose that benefit some part of the society or not. A lost of opportunities are lost when you don't see beyond your nose. Indeed is the human history but since these generations are more linked to global issues we will see if it is a naïveté or a force of change.

I believe this is explicitly illegal in France under the country’s environment and e-waste law. Apple got in trouble because batterygate was interpreted as planned obsolescence, which is forbidden.
Viewed as an investment, it probably had a quite good ROI.
Hmm, that explains quite a bit. My experience with the pharma industry previously gave me the impression that the Japanese were big on foreign brand names, but I guess the underlying driver is just quality.
Another aspect of this arrangement: you don't pay federal income tax on money you receive as a loan in the US. The money does not count as income because of the matching obligation to pay it back.
> I don’t expect it to bother me after I’m gone.

Yep, it didn't bother me for ~eternity before I existed. I think it'll be the same after.

Approaching death does scare me though. I thought Christopher Hitchens captured that feeling well:

"It will happen to all of us, that at some point you get tapped on the shoulder and told, not just that the party’s over, but slightly worse: the party’s going on — but you have to leave. And it’s going on without you. That’s the reflection that I think most upsets people about their demise."
Exactly. Now that everyone has a megaphone, there will be rockstar economists, mathematicians, computer scientists, and the like that distribute their message directly.

I would much rather get info directly from a popular expert than from an English major who interviewed said expert.

Even better - I get to decide which people I regard as experts, and not the journalist.
It very opinionated. I don't know if that makes it petty though.
>...a stab at the value of youtube as a job in society

Yes. Not to pick on youtube - it's just the strongest of the group of entities of which I'd include buzzfeed, vice and the rest.
The world is saturated with entertainment, and it's not good for anyone.
It's not good that kids grow up wanting to be youtubers not scientists.
It's not good for the entertainers who chase the algorithm instead of building things or helping people.

establishment media does nothing but gaslight and ignore important information

i'm a little ways west of east palestine and when that train derailed it was twitter and reddit that warned me, the media did nothing

plus there are now a ton of individuals across multiple social media sites that are showing information as proper data for a more intellectually honest interpretation of various global trends, crime rates, and economic factors to anyone who looks at it. the news will literally tell you the opposite of what the data says while presenting nothing but the caked-up person who reads their teleprompter. I want better, higher quality information, not gatekeeping.

Google’s AI tools embrace the dream of Clippy
Social media is more like a common space, and unique user names are a limited resource. Being born with a common name I've come to terms with never getting my name and being difficult to identify among the masses with the same name.

The people who remember me will have their memories and any copies of digital exchanges or recordings they've made. That's more than enough for me. We'll all be forgotten soon enough.

And recycling user names should actually make problems like disturbing notifications less likely.
llama is a text prediction model similar to GPT-2, and the version of GPT-3 that has not been fine tuned yet.

It is also possible to run fine tuned versions like vicuna with this. I think. Those versions are more focused on answering questions.
As someone who creates games for web consumption, thanks for being interested in the topic. Truly thanks. If I had to write low level WebGL (and now web GPU) code I simply wouldn’t do it. It’s hard enough creating at the higher level of abstraction of my game engine of choice. It’s just a bridge too far in my mind.

I’m now waiting for interested engineers like you to update Unity to enable use of web GPU. I embrace that it’s not a topic I want to care about as a creator, but instead as a consumer.
I was about to say this. I can relate hundred percent to the modus operandi, and to be honest I just accepted that I tend to loose interest and that's fine.

Moreover, I came to analyse that what was really interesting to me was this initial dreaming and planning and obsessing phase rather than the long execution.

I tend to discover and learn what I was seeking in the early phase. After that the need is less pressing.

Accepting this I made my profession of being an architect, planner, discoverer, and not a regular maintainer of things.

Note that I also revisit often old stuff and the spark might reignite. I have completed projects in the span of years picking up after a long time.

All kinds of undocumented findings will occur in a closed source software. And this one is not even the most shocking.
$12.9 is per estate, not per heir. If someone has one spouse and 3 kids and also leaves by will some stuff to 6 other relatives, then the exemption is split between the 10. Each benefits on average from an exemption of $1.3 MM. At the highest tax bracket, they get a one time tax deduction of about half a million.

When people talk about wealth gap, they mean the ultra-rich, the multi-millionaires. For someone with a net worth of $20 million, a one time half-a-million does not make such a difference.

If you want to get rid of the estate tax exemption, you don't hit the Bezoses and the Zuckerbergs of the world, you hit the middle class.

And by the way, you don't even need to move a finger to cut that exemption in half. It will do that in 2026. If you so desire, you can write to your representative to tell them you'd be very upset if they vote for an extension of the current levels of the estate tax exemption.

> The groups avoided helping candidates on purpose, said Mr. Engle, a Washington lawyer they recently hired as a legal advisor. He said they made sure not to exceed $1,000 in direct aid to federal candidates — which could trigger a requirement to register with the F.E.C. — or to exceed state-by-state thresholds that would trigger a requirement to register with state agencies. That left them regulated by the I.R.S., which monitors 527 groups that the others do not.

> “Helping candidates directly is not always the best use of money. Candidates often have more than enough money,” Mr. Engle said.

It's wild that the lawyer they hired is saying this in their defense.

Somebody thought the doc was interesting and shared it with a news outlet.

I've read 100+ docs that read like this. Some sort of position paper designed to spark discussion, much of which happens in the comments alongside the doc. All of them are just the opinion of a person, not the company.
In reality we haven't seen the worst case at all. In fact, we have companies like cloudflare arguing that they are obligated as an infrastructure provider to serve neonazi websites.
This, is such a succinct summary of what is wrong with the news that I am upvoting it even if you didn't mean it that way.

To be clear: the curation social media does is perverse, because it bubbles the worst, most salacious and panicked stories to the top. Reading comments and quotes without having the context of the article itself is a great way to wind up angry and misinformed. If you're a news outlet, designing your news coverage to support this is unethical, and results in a cultural death spiral. Hyper-focusing on what your audience is interested in is good business, but bad journalism, and freedom of the press is enshrined in law so they can inform us rather than just give us the content we crave.
