Renaissance? Immune therapy is the most active area for drug development in the last two decades, comparable to sequencing for diagnostics (except much more productive).

There are dozens of drugs suppressing and amplifying different aspects of the immune system. Multiple Sclerosis is one of the three most expensive disease in the world, and its drugs have multiple mechanisms of action. There are even dozens of cancer-specific immune therapies.
Less people and the stock price would fall and some buyers would sue Tesla.

x86 was not the original target processor for NT in the earlier stages of its development. This was intentionally done to ensure that x86-isms didn't weasel their way into the OS and harm portability.
Almost no one in the cast, including the Americans, save for the 3 actors from the area (Robert Chew as Prop Joe, Felicia Pearson as Snoop, Anwan Glover as Slim Charles) even tried putting on a Baltimore accent. Wood Harris and Idris Elba were supposed to be dealers from the Baltimore projects, but Harris just spoke in his Chicago AAVE accent and Elba sounded like a guy from New York City (his accent even breaks pronouncing the word 'responsibilities'). Lance Reddick sounded like Lance Reddick. Robert Chew tried coaching the kids in season 4 in a Baltimore accent and dialect but the accent didn't seem to land.

I do wish David Simon had enforced accents as strongly as he did with Treme.
Having a bomb and delivering a working bomb to a target are vastly different things.

If a country has a bomb, then they have a bomb sitting around somewhere. It is common knowledge that the nuclear superpowers have a lot of trouble, especially these days, around maintenance and infrastructure. You've got to develop and build good missiles or aircraft to send those bombs out somewhere, and you've got to maintain the whole chain in working order for as long as it takes. They've probably got to stay on high alert 24/7, because you never know when you'll need to press the button and send the bomb to the target.

Just building a nuclear bomb without its concomitant delivery system means you'll have to get creative to deliver it. Good luck putting it on on a truck and driving it to the target or something. At that point, you'd rather just have a dirty bomb instead: a lot easier to make, and just deliver it to a convenient highly-populated spot where it'll make a big stink.

In this case, the relevant fact is pro-abortion protestors have a habit of firebombing things.

That's the sole way I use the service. I don't have time to be constantly checking it. I may get linked to something there from some other website though and read into things.

I don't find Twitter to be a good service for real-time communication so it's much better this way.

When I was a kid in the 80's there were a number of gross/gore/horror trading cards for kids - Garbage Pail Kids being the prime example. One of the sets I had was set in some far flung future, I can barely remember the series but part of the theme were living, biological machines. The only card I can clearly remember featured a flying prisoner transport where the prisoners were seated in the ships cavernous stomach and "if upset during transport could accidentally digest the prisoners." (Honorable mention to HL2 featuring "synthtech" - the drop ship, strider and gun ships were living biological machines.)

This stuck in my head as the idea of designing machines which grow like plants or raised like animals was an incredibly amazing and interesting concept. But as I got older and educated the idea them seemed as far flung as the cards themselves. Though reading you post makes me think, maybe they aren't so far flung after all. Though I still fell that a creature which grows steel or titanium skeletons is still quite firmly in the realm of sci-fi.
That makes sense why I hear olive and avocado as sensible alternatives.
Well I'm not gonna post the less PG advice it gave regarding best methods of suicide, poisoned ice cream recipes, etc. It's really weird seeing it just go at it without any scruples like some kind of terminator. But it's also refreshing to see it just give straight answers to more mundane story writing stuff where GPTs would condescendingly drag their feet and give a billion warnings just in case somebody actually does it for real and ends up suing OpenAI or something.
Jumping back to this thread. My understanding is that the California Public Utilities Commission is the body that regulates this and Waymo does have the approval to provide driverless rides at no charge (Drivered Deployment) but does not yet have the approval it needs to charge for those rides (Driverless Deployment). I think Cruise is the only service that's allowed to charge for fully driverless rides in SF so far.

AfD support is definitely stronger in the East, but it is not exclusively an Eastern party, and (unfortunately) has very significant representation in the West as well -- and in fact more supporters in the West than in the East (though percentage-wise the support in the East is much stronger).

It's also not a "nostalgia", or regional grievance party in any meaningful sense.

In other words, observations in the parent message that you are vociferously attacking ... are basically valid.

If you're genuinely unaware of these facts, I would suggest you attempt to inform yourself at a level beyond that of a few casual keyword searches.

> All of those people have financial incentives to hype it. How curious that there's this great and very probable X-risk, yet they aren't going to stop their contributing to a potential X-risk.

All those people are rehashing what Yudkowsky and his disciples, and his predecessors, were shouting from the rooftops for the past 15 years, but few listened to them. Few still do, most just keep mocking them and wondering why are they still around.

That some of those people now repeating after Eliezer, et al. have a financial interest in pushing us closer to X-risk, and kind of don't want to stop, is an interesting thing on its own - but it doesn't invalidate the message, as the message is older than their presence on the scene.
I would have thought the verb would be "resculpt"
My God so much discussion on a damn leaked memo. Couldn't this just be inferred by reading commits instead ? Open source AI stack = Models + base runtime like PyTorch or TF. tF is built from ground up afaik and PyTorch builds on Torch which is not BigTech handout. The transformer architecture was somebody's PhD thesis at CMU. So how is this article valid if we take all of these data points into account ?

I check my slack when I have some slack. If it's super urgent and important, page me. If it is important and not urgent, set up a meeting. If it's urgent but not important, stop doing it. If you let slack pop dialogs or notifications, then you're going to get a lot of urgent-but-not-important shit.
Just start with something simple and create a paper trail. It would verify that this is indeed happening and give you help in the event you have a poor review. When and if you are either forced or want to discuss it with them having a detailed data set will keep the discussion focussed on the facts and away from subjective or poorly documented criticism.

> It feels like he is trying to motivate me, because he sees gap somewhere. But no exact reason has been shared, if he sees a problem or everything is good and he just needs me in different project

If you decide to discuss it with them the above seems like a reasonable tact. Managers need feedback as to how what they are doing is working. Not knowing why they are doing what they are doing is making your job more difficult or stressful. It does not necessarily need to be presented as a criticism of their management style. Maybe present it as a way to better understand and do a your job.
Containers need both namespaces and groups. While created for different purposes, both serve the same purpose within the container world: Giving processes within a container a limited set of actual host capabilities. If cgroups hadn't already existed, we likely would have a namespace that did the same thing; as it is, we had cgroups, so we didn't that namespace.
Works bad on mobile with some weird transitions. Can't believe C2 is fallen to this trap as well.
I lived in four countries before moving to the USA and none of them required me to file at all. As an ordinary employee, taxes were PAYE (Pay as you Earn) and there was no complicated system of tax exemptions that aren't either handled directly at source, or as separate rebates (like child allowance payments). I long for that day in the USA.
Just public beta sign-up list as far as I know! I don't remember doing anything special besides signing up for the waitlist and filling out a survey, so I guess I just got lucky.
Clickbait unfortunately, the article even says supernova is 10,000-100,000 years away.

The brightening is actually a return to normal brightness, from a recent decrease due to dust in the way.

From Wikipedia :

“Starting in October 2019, Betelgeuse began to dim noticeably, and by mid-February 2020 its brightness had dropped by a factor of approximately 3, from magnitude 0.5 to 1.7. It then returned to a more normal brightness range, reaching a peak of 0.0 visual and 0.1 V-band magnitude in April 2023.[19] Infrared observations found no significant change in luminosity over the last 50 years, suggesting that the dimming was due to a change in extinction around the star rather than a more fundamental change. A study using the Hubble Space Telescope suggests that occluding dust was created by a surface mass ejection. This cast material millions of miles from the star that then cooled to form the dust that caused the star's dimming.”
Again, we can assume a distribute training if that is feasible.
Compute Statistics from Google Calendars
We're moving in a direction that disadvantages women in favour of men. The "trans debate" has enabled an insidious form of misogyny that even undermines the language we use to describe the shared struggles of women everywhere.
Be careful with conflating the different meanings of "IQ". There is (1) IQ test taken after adolescence, which plenty of folks consider newage nonsense (it has useful correlations with some mental tasks, but it is not clear whether it deserves a name as fundamental as "IQ") and there is (2) various tests given at young pre-adolescent ages which is quite a bit more interesting when trying to distinguish nature from nurture.

The gap you are referring to, is it about (1) or about (2)? The OpenAI model might be talking about 2.

Sure, why not? I think zk doesn’t do fsync too btw

That's exactly why I find it valuable. Little to no pretense of looking good and a bunch of perspectives in little space. An occasionally useful starting point to get the lay of the land.
My point is that, in English, it's possible to leave someone's gender entirely unstated, whereas in Spanish someone is either "el amigo" or "la amiga" with no other options.

Also, if you don't know Spanish, I'm not going to teach it to you.

It's anecdata but I've seen similar - however, it could also be explained by "not taking weight loss seriously if all you do is switch to gallons of diet drink".

And for lots of sodas, caffeine plays, too. It's hard to factor out the various issues that could also be present.
Definitely agree on some of this stuff. The themes situation sounded pretty delusional the whole time. And there were many more decisions like that.

However, what is this about separate search and url boxes? I have that, still. You don't have to have just the single box. Still, the main url box still behaves as a search either way. Is that what you mean?
Ask HN: Advice for getting into AI for an experienced PM or TPM
I got laid off recently and am taking the time to scratch an itch around AI. I've done a few Codeacademy tutorials on Python to get started, watched the future of AI series from MIT and am now working through Andrej Karpathy's video on Nano GPT and getting familiar with Pytorch too.

All of this has been and is fun, however I am wondering if this is the best use of my time from the perspective of getting a job as a PM or TPM in the field and if not what should I be doing instead.

I've been been a PM for about 20 years in three FAANGS and its been a while since I've found myself getting excited about something. However I also have mortgage and retirement to think off

Love to get suggestions and ideas from folks.
Intrinsic’s Flowstate Seeks to Simplify Industrial Robotics
Surely not in Canada?
It is WAY past time for this. It's absurd that we have to regurgitate tax information that has already been reported to the government. But it's even more absurd that the government gives us no way to do so electronically.

And then there's the disgusting shell game that IS the entire U.S. tax system, which is the root of the whole problem.

But... didn't Congress pass some corrupt legislation years ago that made it illegal for the government to set up a tax-filing Web site? What happened to this: https://www.propublica.org/article/congress-is-about-to-ban-...
Also interested to see if there's any proof of this. I know, anecdotally as an obese man, that whether I cut out diet soda or not doesn't seem to make a difference. Maybe I'm not doing it for long enough?

I'd disagree with the "instant access to an escapist fantasy world" bit being the core issue.

Kids have had access to escapist fantasy worlds ever since the invention of the paperback, and I don't think "being able to distract yourself with books" will lead to mental health issues.
I'm sure this will be killed in a lawsuit. Can't have the government destroying jobs.
It's only possible if you use neologisms like "they said", whereas in Spanish you can go entire sentences without referring to the gender.
GPTs are distractions. Now's a great time to aggressively pursue something else.
I'm not them, and I don't think "woke" is the right term, but I've noticed certain "themes" inappropriately appearing in answers. Right after release of ChatGPT 3, the marginalization of certain groups would show up answers to questions that weren't related. I saw many examples on twitter, but my personal one was in the answer to "Why are pencils bad?". This one has been "corrected" since release, as far as I can tell, but I also don't ask it questions where this theme could show up.

Now, I only notice green energy/environmental issues that show up in odd places (mostly in GPT 3), and the "moral of the story" always being the same "everyone works together". I see this happen when "creativity" is attempted, where it's free to make up the context (story, wishes, etc).

Outside of possible definitions of the elusive "woke", the "As a language model, I" type responses are the most limiting, and usually absolute nonsense, with an ever increasing number of disclaimers found in answers. For example, "Write some hypothetical python 4 code that sends a message over the network". Some pretty heavy "jailbreaking" is needed to make it work.

ChatGPT4 used to handle this much better, but I think the "corrections" are stacking deeply enough that no longer has the "resolution" left to see where answers can be given without them.

It would be nice if there were a "standard" theme of questions where we could measure progression, and compare, to know. Most times these observation or questions come up, someone is very quick to say "racism" or the like.
> While dumbing down a model is not necessarily a bad thing, the model is not being dumbed down, it is taught to shut up when it's adequate to do so.

This is where you're wrong. Teaching a model "to shut up" about taboo topics measurably reduces their cognitive capabilities in completely unrelated areas to a very significant degree. This has been empirically validated time and again, with the most salient examples being GPT-4's near perfect self-assessment ability prior to safety tuning being rendered no better than random chance after safety tuning and the Sparks paper's TikZ Unicorn scale.
> But when she does, the office is half empty, and she hates it.

If they halved the office space so that the office is full, would that make her experience better?

I know it sounds like a flip question, but I am asking it earnestly. That could be the compromise position.
> The immune system is a giant random number generator. Your body randomly generates antibody patterns in the womb, so everyone is different.

I read about this in the book "Immune" [0], and it blew my mind. I just want to call attention to this part of your comment because people might breeze past it.

Your immune system is tasked with what might seem an impossible problem: be able to kill anything that doesn't match "you" / your genome. But it can't encode everything that isn't "you" in the DNA that your immune system came from, partly because DNA transcription is generative: any arbitrarily-long sequence of codons creates a protein.

So rather than try to write down all the things that could kill you (even ones that have never been encountered in all of human history) and remember how to kill those things, it generates random proteins, checks whether they look like you, and if they don't, figures out how to bind to those and produces proteins (antibodies) that bind to those things.

(I'm heavily paraphrasing and I don't have the book handy to refer to, sorry)

This is one of the most frustrating things on the linux world. The lack of focus, the lack of a collective effort of pushing to make these very overdue changes

One of the reasons is that cars have not only gotten more expensive, but the cost of debt has skyrocketed. Look at the interest rate of a car loan a year or two ago compared to now.
I've been watching Redpanda for a couple years primarily because I'm interested in their wasm data transformations. In the past 3 months I've heard it mentioned several dozen times by other teams in our company, vs. maybe 2-3 times in the >1y prior. So something seems in the air, and presumably Confluent has noticed.

I'm not sure why, Kafka per se doesn't seem to have really dropped any significant balls lately (and we're self-hosted so Confluent isn't very relevant).
Most cities anywhere, even in red states, are pretty liberal.

As long as the EU representatives aren't getting paid, lobbying seems fine to me, unless you want all campaigns publicly financed (which I'd also be good with).

It's a dubious claim to state that lobbying is legal corruption.

The difference between actual corruption and lobbying is large: corruption enriches politicians personal wealth, while lobbying (at its worst) increases the money a politician can use to get elected. Maybe some would believe one is just as bad as the other, but I don't. Election finance law is critically important to preventing corruption from creeping in.
