Right, read my post again. I used numbers for regular charging. I did that for 2 reasons. First even though it's only $300 to upgrade to level 2, in many people's cases you'd have to get a second line into your house. That's expensive. Second, I'm not confident that level 2 charging is easily available in the wider world which means you need to plan for a shorter round trip or, again, plug in over-night.

Both the Indian government and Apple investigated, and both found that Wistron was indeed guilty of serious labor law violations, including underpayment of its workers.

They were probably not considering it under a frame of suppressing competition. If they have people spending a lot of time keeping track of various contractors (who can do what, what capacity is available from whom, etc.) then consolidating those contractors to just a handful might be a cost-cutting measure.

Excellent, excellent article! I have a question though.

> Couldn't we rearrange the memory to get a block of 6 contiguous bytes? Some sort of defragmentation process?

> Sadly not. Remember earlier we talked about how the return value of malloc is the address of a byte in memory? Moving allocations won't change the pointers we have already returned from malloc. We would change the value those pointers are pointed at, effectively breaking them. This is one of the downsides of the malloc/free API.

But why not? Couldn't we store information about old pointers somewhere and match them with new addresses when defragmenting? Some kind of virtual memory driver that would map old pointers to new adresses transparently for the programs? Or would it be too much overhead for too little benefit?
Specifically, we used semantic similarity for shuffled answers (so they are close and not too easy), completely shuffled answers, and AI-generated distractors. We are now going to choose the most popular default (based on retention during A/B/C testing), and also offer the mode as a choice.

The quiz question (though not answer, since overwritten) from the demo you posted was generated in 2020, with T5 not GPT-3. Other and more complex questions were also possible with our finetuned tech on a bespoke carefully collected dataset. It was at the time much more impressive than it is now with GPT models, and we had it out before competitors even launched(the closest thing was old style GOFAI and a few online tutorials on finetuning T5 for similar tasks that had inferior data).

As much as I LOVE AI, and OpenAI -- and as much as I am about Alignment and such...

Its really weird for me, personally, When I know its @sama that is driving.

YC is the bastion of the future of tech.. and I feel, personally, its kind of a weird, nuanced, conflict with the former head of YC to be the head of AI whereby YC (HN) is a primary gearbox in the driving of the narrative behind AI.

Ive watched @sama on lex at least 3 times. His reasonings are sound, but they are a veneer... his ego seeps through the whitespace to reveal what he is really after...

(if I am wrong correct me)

but @sama wants to go down as basically the Father of generally accepted AI as a service which is profitable.

Only "mismanagement" used as a euphemism for self-dealing or embezzlement, which is what I think many people suspect is occurring now on some level. Wikipedia has a small, constrained remit and if no one ever edited it again, it would still be very useful for decades.

US law can change whenever the US wants it to. It's like saying you hold yourself accountable not to cheat at your diet. You can just change your diet and then you're not cheating it anymore.
You know, that thing that will never fucking happen.

Exactly. To the extent that there's any validity in looking at the current situation between the US and its larger neighbors, it completely demolishes the idea that we should have some understanding or other respect for Russia's actions in Ukraine.

Based on it being "unavoidable", or "what else did you expect Putin to do?" or any of that crap.
I get that it's open source and all that, but sometimes one just feels like strolling down to Mozilla HQ and saying "What exactly would you say you do here?"

There's questions about why this announcement matters if it isn't trained. There's a few:

1) This is going to be using a publicly funded computer, which is the most powerful in the world AND was also announced today (btw, the specs are better than what was initially planned). The program gives justification for the machine and that public money (though in comparison to many things governments spend money on, this is very cheap).

2) THAT'S A LOT OF GPUS. This will, as far as I'm aware, be the biggest training every. GPT4 was supposedly trained on 10k A100s. Remember that Summit, the #3 computer, has >27k GPUs (V100s), but Aurora has almost 64k. This is going to be a big engineering feat in of itself. Now it won't make training 6x faster, but it will definitely be much better. It does say that the US government is taking this very seriously.

That's the point of this kind of announcement: marketing, propaganda, and cool engineering project.
I'm not sure I agree that recurring subscription pricing was "extremely obvious from the beginning" from my experience with it over the past three years. To me that's not any more obvious than alternatives like: selling for a one-time purchase, or raising funding to keep it free for now.

It was a solo founder for a long time. I didn't realize he'd hired other people before today... but you gotta pay those engineering salaries somehow, I guess.

But I agree that the new pricing model announced today feels off.

But the editors and moderators aren't paid.

> The brilliant thing about the parent’s comment about the “shape” of the answer is that it reveals how much humans have (uh, historically, now, I guess) relied on the shape of information to convey its trustworthiness.

This is the basis of Rumor. If you tell a story about someone that is entirely false but sounds like something they're already suspected of or known to do, people will generally believe it without verification since the "shape" of the story fits people's expectations of the subject.

To date I've decried the choice of "hallucination" instead of "lies" for false LLM output, but it now seems clear to me that LLMs are a literal rumor mill.
I think I’m missing your point here. Let’s say Texas passes a law that all Texans data has to be processed in Texas, and because cowboys don’t give a shit there’s no consideration for the EUs law.

What would the appropriate way for meta to handle a friendship between a Texan and a European be? They can’t process the Texans data outside Texas, and they can’t transfer the Europeans data outside of Europe. Disallow them to be friends?

As infuriating as it is, I'm not sure that the stupid failures are the reason. Some of the money is always going to be wasted. That's not an excuse for lazy oversight or corruption, but even when those are working well, some things will simply fail.

As much as it sucks to waste $200k, it's a drop in the bucket. American charity giving is close to half a trillion dollars per year. We are awash in so much money that it's counterproductive to think, "Well, if they're just gonna waste some of it, we shouldn't do it at all."

As I said, that's not any kind of comfort. It's right to be infuriated when something could easily have been better. But I've seen too many people insist that avoiding that negative emotion is the absolute top priority, and that causes a lot of suffering.

To do that you either need a structure that you update every time a pointer is created, copied, moved or deleted (too much overhead), or you need a way to scan the entire memory
and get all the pointers. And at the point where you have a piece of code that knows where every pointer is, you already know which pointers aren't used anywhere anymore so it's a waste to not have it also call free() for you.

Once you have it call free() for you, your piece of code is now a compacting GC, like Java's for example.

In a language like C that isn't really possible because the language can't keep track of all of the places that memory address is stored.

If malloc were to return something like an address that holds the address of memory allocated there is nothing preventing the program from reading that address, doing math on it, and storing it somewhere else.
Well, that's what some GCs do, and they do indeed defragment the heap.
While “NATO isn’t invading anyone” may be your honest interpretation of recent history, the article discusses NATO activity in the former Yugoslavia and Libya as examples of NATO force being used. The article also briefly mentions the color revolutions supported by the US, a NATO stalwart.

The article places the potential miscalculation of NATO expansion within a historical context of cold wars nukes in general and especially within the context of the bellicose reaction of the US causing what is called the Cuban Missile Crisis. Additionally the article gives details of intra-NATO misgivings about the effects of expansion on Russia.

There aren’t easy answers to the trolley question of “appeasement.” If the decision is to accept Ukrainians dying now in place of maybe more of other nations dying later, then better understanding the likelihood and likely scope of the latter is needed. If Ukrainians are dying now out of impatience to join a military compact, then that is a tragedy that has come from a trajectory that should be studied.
I enjoy a lot currently watching Tales from the Loop - after the book of Simon Stalenhag (sorry can't type the a-round thing). There's some of the eerie not-much-happening world of Tarkovsky right there, and I'm quite sure whoever didn't like TftL wouldn't resist 10 minutes into Tarkovsky.

There is also some fraction of the sea turtle population that goes in the "wrong direction" when navigating by the Earth's magnetic fields. I believe these individuals generally do not do very well.

Okay, let me explain this analogy because I think that I am not communicating clearly

There are two components that you are paying for here:

- For the car analogy - purchasing the car outright (not leasing!) and a maintenance plan for the car (which requires you to pay for and lays out a set of conditions for maintenance - bring the car in every X miles for an oil change, etc)

- In the printer case - purchasing the printer outright (not leasing!) and the ink plan for the printer (which requires you to pay for and lays out a set of conditions for maintenance - limited number of pages before refills, etc)

In the first case, since you purchased the car outright, you would expect to be able to operate the car after the maintenance agreement expires - with you paying out of pocket for the cost of maintenance, of course. It would be asinine to assume that you lose the ability to use your car if the maintenance plan goes away - that's now how purchasing items works.

In the second case, you purchased the printer outright - it's not advertised as renting or leasing a printer, it's advertised as a sale. It is asinine to assume that you would lose the ability to use the printer after the automated ink refills end since you bought the printer outright, and bought for a price not for significantly less than the competitors printers without this service.

Another example that's closer to the model that HP is trying to mimic - razors and razor blades. Assume you sign up for a shave club that sends you blades and shaving cream every month with the purchase of a razor handle and a fee. If you cancel the shave club they don't ask you to send the razor back, and if anyone tried to enter your home and take it from you then you'd be well within your rights to involve the police for burglary and theft.

If HP doesn't want to get backlash for this then they need to clearly advertise their printers are leased and are bricks if you ever sign up for their instant ink and cancel. Otherwise they are being completely unreasonable, no matter what cutesy language they want to hide behind in whatever contract the user is not free to negotiate or is forced into arbitration if there are disputes.

They're a big boy company, no more lying to their customers.

By your own link, statistics have reversed and just in 2019-2020 alone an increase of 8 million people fell into extreme poverty. Going by UN metrics, we're actually seeing a stabilization in the "dramatic improvements", and we're struggling to break past the ~8% mark. We're talking about a $1.90 poverty line v a $2.15 poverty line, and that sent the rate from 8.4 to 9.3[1]. In that same document, the UN had to adjust their goal of hitting 3% under extreme poverty by 2030.

How does this not justify what the above person stated, poverty is running rampant? More than 600 million people are still in extreme poverty. A record 100 million are displaced due to conflict in their countries. So I have to ask what exactly is unbelievably counter-productive here? I would argue that placating ourselves is.
