Thank you for your work :). It's been a long time since I used the PDB directly but I remember being frustrated about how essential and sparse it could be.

I'm curious about your toolchain. Is it just a community going through and manually annotating, or do you have something that helps pick out obvious things that can be fixed using something computationally predictive? If you have links on the UniProt website I can also just read those. Thanks!

That post is literally him shilling his merchandise.

>What to do then, in the face of such charlatans and double-dealers? What to do when Gavin Newsom tells me that masks must be worn for my own good, but refuses to wear one himself? That was question that led me to put “Safety Third” on cloth masks and start selling them to raise money for work ethic scholarships. I sold the masks with complete transparency. I told people I didn’t personally believe that a cloth mask would do anything to prevent the spread of an airborne virus, even if my governor did. I told everyone my Safety Third mask would keep you in compliance – but NOT out of danger. “This is a mask,” I wrote, “for anyone who wants to follow the rules, without being confused with those rule-followers who support mandates, or hypocritical politicians, or the elevation of safety above all else.”

I think you missed some nuance there. If I only realistically have between 9 and 11pm, I am pretty limited on what hobbies I can take up. It's not just that I'm literally time constrained, but also that the time I have available is not conducive to certain activities, so I'm left with video games, TV, etc.

Its the same story as "I can't go to the bank if they're only open when I have to be at work", but for mental health rather than finances.
If I recall correctly the kernel part of things would return an out of memory error which the user mode DLL translated to that weird error (sometimes, other times it would just say "out of system resources", it depended on what widget the bitmap that overlapped the two memory regions belonged to).

Given how PALM2 had less params than the first one (540B) I think that makes sense.

To be completely honest, I was surprised and disappointed at the amount of resources and time spent by the UK's government to infringe on the free-speech rights of pacifist anti-monarchists protesters.

This contrasted with the weak response from the government after the sordid London bridge attacks, with the mayor even stating that "Terror attacks are 'part and parcel of living in a big city'". Is this what people in the UK want?

Lawsuit accuses DoorDash of charging iPhone users more than others
Well, I for one host my own Jitsi instance because of Internet censorship. The censorship is very bad here so major social media like WhatsApp and Telegram etc are blocked. And for cases such as Skype and Google Meet which aren't blocked the connection is sometimes throttled (not to mention that sometimes they just cut the Internet off) so that leaves one option: a self-hosted Jitsi instance on an Iranian data center.

Fun fact: Even on an Iranian data center, I had to limit the video quality on my own server to 360p because other qualities don't work great either.
IMO it's much worse than cigarettes, in that the ills that Facebook delivers upon us is very nuanced and isn't a concrete object like a cigarette is. It's only when you start pulling all the pieces of FB together (commenting, sharing, liking, friend graphs, etc.) that it starts becoming a bad thing.

Maybe data privacy turns out to be the "lower receiver" of social media but I doubt it.
> And ignoring that, it's at least as useful as the brogrammer crowd bombarding journalists with "learn to code" a couple years ago was...

I think this is exactly the same as all these recent reports on AI.

Five years ago, that bootcamp trend made many people believe that they could earn six figures after taking six month courses. But that never happened, because there is more to becoming an effective engineer than just taking a few practical lessons. At the end, that was just marketing, but it didn't stop some managers from declaring that these high paying jobs would be soon gone, because of a massive influx of newly minted programmers.

The thing about engineers is that we have been automating boring stuff for ages. We will adapt to use AI tools, the same way we use auto-complete in IDEs, that is fine.

But AI will not replace engineers any time soon, and the same goes for the crowd who learnt to create websites in three month bootcamps.
Salt Lake 2002 – not enough memory/crashes to desktop after starting error
Ask HN: Touring Symbolic AI
I've been incrementally studying Lisp programming using "Common LISP: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation" by David Touretzky (the 2013 edition). After working through the first six chapters, I feel ready to take a steeper road to Lisp and Symbolic AI. I had originally planned to use "Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming" by Peter Norvig to start. After taking a look at "Lisp 3rd Edition" by Patrick Winston, I'm kind of conflicted on which which book to use as the initial primary text. Both seem to start with Lisp, followed with implementations of classic AI applications. Cost isn't really a factor, because I already own both books. Any suggestions?
It's not a "limit" of course. It's like asking when, if I put the car in gear and stand on the gas, will I go crashing through the back wall of the garage? You can figure it out but it doesn't really matter.

Recent research suggests that if we stop emitting CO2 right now, the earth could continue warming to a peak of +10ºC over centuries. https://theclimatebrink.substack.com/p/warming-in-the-pipeli...

I don't think their brand is as strong as people believe. They are pejoratively referred to as "ClosedAI"

They have a lot of down time and change the model out from under people, only having 3 months support. It is very hard to build a product on OpenAI in this situation.

A close enough model that can run on your own hardware or cloud will get people to move. We are watching and waiting for this point for our own products. For now they are called experiments and demo applications.
Competing app stores are a thing. Apple's moat wasn't the App Store. It was better quality hardware and a unified experience.

I have no doubt that large players can possibly lap OpenAI in terms of ecosystem surrounding a decent AI core.

However, OpenAI has the leg up and it's their game to lose at this point.
You still use theories from psychology to describe the interaction. This is precisely what social-psychology does (admittedly spectacularly often without replication). And a good social psychology theory is consistent with other fields of psychology, like cognitive, or—more often—behavioral psychology. You don’t use population statistics to predict how you as an individual will behave in a certain situation.
> Why is the US taxpayer so much more invested in this contrasted to a French or German taxpayer?

It's not about the taxpayer, but about what the powerful elites feel and want. France and Germany are closer to Russia, benefited from trade with Russia, and are strongly influenced by decades of Russian influence (Schroeder on the take, anti-war, anti-nuclear groups etc.) So they have to be brow-beaten and dragged into doing the right thing and help Ukraine. US benefits from Ukraine weakening Russia, it's a no-brainer.

Not thrilled with yet another subscription. I get it though, as they have to maintain their app with Google's moving Gmail API.

I understand paying for this if you're a paying Google Workspace customer. But if you're a free gmail user, it doesn't make sense. If you're going to pay for email, pay for the actual email before paying for a client.
Is it just less resilient to bad connections, or is there something happening at a particular room capacity?
Well, yeah. Obviously, all of this is true. I asked them to ban my son's school email (which the classmate used) for X years. In that case he would need to first create a dummy email for gaming, which, I hope, he is not capable of at this point. :) But the company refused.

He seems fine with only playing Minecraft (which feels safer to me conceptually), though. Interestingly, our son talks quite a bit about gaming addiction (doesn't mean he can handle it easily, though :), so my reasoning about his brain maybe not being able to handle Roblox addiction seemed to hit home.

I'm not paranoid about gaming, but, hoping to have learned from my own childhood, I do prefer to carefully and thoughtfully limit their choice of games, at least for now. Roblox seemed too intensive and flashy an experience to be on that plate (I'd say our son's classmate launched some 5 or 6 Roblox games in about one minute). Also, as soon as I saw that there's something called "robux" involved, it was an obvious no-no for us.
Twitter bug seems to be randomly restoring deleted tweets
I've noticed a few articles I would assume are okay have been flagged recently. I wish there was a view where you could see what had been flagged to check for bias.
I'm wondering the same thing. I read the article. Nothing suspect there that I can see. Was thought-provoking.
Idk I live in a place like that I find there are still two broad groups of parties that rarely make coalitions a large distance across the divide. It's not like there is only one axis of politics but there is a sort of broad undercurrent of older/conservative and younger/change broad split.

But speaking to your point, there is no reason at all why a two party system is required to have a rule of thumb that if everyone thinks you're biased you're on the right track...

IDK what radios they're using in Ukraine. US military radios have devices that sync to one another that rotate keys. Also the radios hop frequencies every couple of minutes. I think it's pretty much impossible to crack without the "brain" device that is used to coordinate the radios, which is closely guarded.
"Defect" has a different meaning here than it has in common language, so people disagree with the comment.

If you are curious, then try articles like on "Topological defect", "Crystallographic defect", "Cosmic string", ... in Wikipedia to get an idea what defect is supposed to mean here.

> Our theories of physics are just models we work with for our benefit, reality is entirely unconstrained by our models and concerns.

True but every student of physics is taught right from the beginning that every model only has a range of parameters in which it is valid.

Example: you can easily calculate speeds non-relativistically just fine if you are aware that you will only get good approximations of reality if the speeds involved are a low (~ single-digit) percentage of the speed of light. Outside of that, the results will be non-sense.

We create the models after reality and use these models to predict things. After experiments, we know if the the model is still valid in a new range of parameters. Since we know that the laws of nature do not change (we can and do test that!), we can now assume that we have a model that fits well with reality in a wider range than before.

What you see here in progress is exactly the attempt to find an alternative explanation for that what we expect blackholes to look like because we know that our models might not be right there.
A high performance asynchronous alternative to Emacs sounds great, but it feels like the Elisp ecosystem is so massive that I can't imagine everything I care about being ported to Lem. Maybe I could stab at a few myself if I was determined to use it, but I wonder if a high degree of Elisp compatibility macros could help adoption.
Depends on how you define privacy. If definitely accessing the data to train it was illegal/wrong, then you can't. But if that is ok, then the question is to what application will the LLM be applied? A generalized chat interface probably would be able to regurgitate private information. But things like reasoning engine, or recommendation system plugged into other downstream systems where the raw output isn't expose very much could work. There are a hundred new startups everyday it seems that are some kind of wrapper on top of an LLM applied to a niche use case. Many of these should be able to preserve privacy.

Until Windows 95, Windows was essentially just a DOS application that grabbed the framebuffer and ran an event loop where it drew "controls" (which includes windows, buttons, text views, and yes, scrollbars.) That was the whole point of it. It wasn't an "OS" per se; DOS was the OS. Windows was what a Linux-head would think of as a combination of an X server and window manager. And Windows loaded your "application" as essentially a DLL, with the Windows global event loop calling into your application's event-loop delegate handler (WndProc) whenever it has an interesting event that your application might like to react to.

(Your application wasn't even a "process" per se. Until Windows 95, everything was just happening in one shared address space, in real mode. In fact, it was only in Windows 3.1 where user applications stopped running in ring 0!)

If you think about it, this "the kernel is a game engine and your application is the game" approach isn't necessarily a bad design... for a single-tasking OS's library exokernel, like the Wii's https://wiibrew.org/wiki/IOS.

But, of course, Windows claimed to be a multitasking OS. But it actually wasn't! And I don't mean the obvious thing about it not having pre-emption. Lots of multitasking OSes didn't have pre-emption.

No, what I mean is that the concurrency primitive for the cooperative scheduling wasn't the "task" (i.e. the process or thread. Which, again, there weren't any of.) Instead, the concurrency primitive was the window. Until Windows 95, Windows was a multi-windowing OS.

Each control was owned by a window. Each window had a WndProc. If your Windows executable (i.e. application delegate module) set up two windows, then each window participated separately in the global Windows event loop, up-to-and-including things like having its own set of loaded fonts, its own clipboard state, and its own interned strings table. In OOP terms†, your application was just a dead "class object", running no logic of its own save for one-time load and unload hooks. It was the windows themselves that were the "instances" of your class.

This might make you realize why MDI (or Multiple Document Interface, where there are multiple small per-document "windows" inside one big window) was so popular back then. The MDI "windows" weren't actually windows — they didn't have their own WndProc. They were just controls, like a tab view is a control. Only the big container window was a real window, and so all the resources within that big window were shared between all the virtual windows. MDI was a memory-saving trick!

---

† The actual more interesting analogy is that Windows was essentially a (single-threaded, cooperatively-scheduled) actor system, where windows were the actors. There is a very close parallel between (Windows 3.1 executables, Windows 3.1 windows) and (Erlang modules, Erlang processes).
I think the word “law” is a little misleading in this case: International law is more like international diplomacy LARPing as law.

"We didn't understand our costs, so we underbid and now are blaming Apple." - Wistron
It's not a theory. Google has been pretty open about what models they have (e.g. PaLM was before GPT-4); they just didn't let anyone use them.
As an ex-depressive, the best cure for depression I've found is a period of ketogenic dieting.
I'll be interested to see how this performs if/when it is released.

I'm not convinced that simply increasing the number of parameters improves the models, and I don't think we should be putting out press releases "spec-chasing" increases in the number of parameters. I've also found in my research that larger models often do not perform better, but this is becoming more difficult to explain to non-technical folks due to irresponsible marketing. If we aren't careful about the bold marketing claims, we'll disillusion many people and reduce the potential for future growth—we don't want another AI Winter.

There's a significant environmental cost to training these large models, and it's harder to understand, use, and control these very large models (even as a researcher).

Are you suggesting there's no succession of power in Ukraine and, effectively, legitimacy with respect to prior governments and their foreign policy stance?
Can also vouch for this. Bought a 2nd gen AMD Thinkpad T14 ~last year and haven't had any issues at all running Debian testing (bookworm). Swapped the m.2 with a 4TB one and added an extra 16GB of RAM to supplement the soldered 16GB. I believe they're on 3rd gen now but I imagine hardware compatibility is probably similar to 2nd gen.

The size/form factor is basically the same as my old T460s which I've had for ~8+ years and is still running, but a bit dated now with a 2c/4t Intel CPU. I believe back then the T460s was the "slim" version of the T460, but Lenovo seems to have dropped the "s" for the T14 even though the dimensions of both seem the same to me, maybe a couple extra mm in height on the T14.
Even capturing the radio is not enough. The crypto device that is used to synchronize the radios must be captured. The radios are synchronized in a secure area away from the battlefield.
Apropos of not much, many Mikrotik devices can run OpenWRT, if that's your thing.
This kind of news isn't of interest until the model is made and tested side-by-side with GPT-4 and shown to at least be in the same ballpark of performance.

So far, nobody has claimed to exceed GPT-4's performance (either by academic metrics or by youtubers subjective evaluations)
They pump water into wells to fill up the aquifer.

Sleep quality deteriorates rapidly after age 45, at least from what I was told by the Dreem2 tech support a while ago. My understanding is this involves the amplitude of brain waves during primarily the N3 stage, while physical exercise has been shown to enhance that amplitude, e.g. walking 3 miles a day

The Dreem2 headband does have the ability to enhance the amplitude and duration of N3 brain waves also, by using timed pulses of pink noise in a feedback loop

Though I don't think that feature was available to consumers inside the USA cuz of FDA regulation BS
Isn't every plug-in hybrid an EV with a built-in range extender? I guess you don't like their performance specs, but there seems to be a sweet spot in the solution space that all the manufacturers are focused on. I wonder, is this due to technical limits and/or regulatory challenges, or mostly just consumer preference?
We're currently at 1.2C, and almost every new year, we emit more carbon than we have in any other year in human history.
> I think OpenAI is building a moat right in front of us through their plug-ins idea.

I think OpenAI is doing the opposite by massively degrading GPT-4 to support the load from all these integrations (as well as their new app). Their moat was the head-and-shoulders-above—their-competitors quality of GPT-4, which had now taken a huge nosedive. I’m not sure why anyone would pay for it instead of GPT 3.5-Turbo. It went from being a competent, if somewhat error probe coder to doing things like randomly inserting C# code blocks in text.
