I think the bigger concern for America (really free speech) is that if America isn't keeping international trade safe and secure then another nation or entity will be.

That entity might not like the idea of freedom of speech and expression as much as Good Ol' Uncle Sam does. Then they can start dictating terms and sanctions since they control trade.

Why would you say you don’t want to judge if that’s what you’re going to do anyway?
Is there any provably consistent reason that you should trust people you know more than strangers?

> "You can’t just train an LLM with more and more parameters and more and more tokens and expect it to be smarter than the data it was trained on."

This is wrong.

I saw so many people who think this though, even smart people. But it's just clearly not true if you think about it. It's like saying that you can't train a model to predict a trend from a scatter plot because the model can't be smarter than the average point in the scatter plot (or even the smartest one), and points in a scatter plot aren't smart at all.

I think the gap in understanding is that people aren't used to 'models' being treated themselves as 'data points'. So when they imagine a model being trained over model-like data points, they start getting confused between what is a model and what is a data point, and they start thinking that the model being trained can't be more capable than the smartest (or some even say average lol) data point (which is itself a model) in its training set.

Another reason why this kind of thinking is unintuitive is because of the raw scale of these LLMs. The good ones like the first ones that people are saying might become super-intelligent are going to be entire data centers, or data center sized supercomputers like Aurora, and they will cost billions of dollars in training. During training they will have more than a trillion parameters and trained on more than tens of trillions of tokens, so more than 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 numerical updates during their training. That number is just very large and outside the realm of human intuition for things like running through a for-loop in your mind when you are imagining the algorithm.
Stop expecting so much of yourself. Everyone makes mistakes. What defines us is how we react to them. Don't feel bad. Feeling bad is 100% pointless. I don't mean 'psychopath level' of not feeling bad, but beating yourself up is wasted effort.

Instead, do something about it. Don't react right away. Identify why you failed, what could be done next time, and then try not to make the same mistake again. Thank your colleagues for pointing it out, and move forward.
Other countries continued to use the dollar even after the Usa defaulted on its obligation by closing the gold window. There’s a bit more going on that trust in USA - most dollars are issued by private entities in overseas markets.
IMO it's better to call it "fee and dividend", "carbon tax" has a lot of baggage associated with it. I'm a strong supporter of it, but if you say "tax" you'll immediately get people (people who would benefit from such a system regardless of climate effects) insisting it will all go to the government.
> My wife works in the … battered woman shelter sphere

Ah. Perhaps the following reformulation of this thread will help you to understand how clouded with prejudice your viewpoint is:

> All women live a life of getting battered.

> This isn’t true. I’m a woman, and I don’t get battered.

> You are incorrect. I know someone who knows a lot of women at a battered women shelter, and they all get battered. Therefore, the vast majority of real women must certainly get battered. Accordingly, I’m left to wonder how much of a true woman you really are.

The fact that you accompany this absurd line of reasoning with a tidbit in which you take a statement I made praising and reminiscing upon a group of people who categorically treated me with upmost kindness immediately following an all-time low^, then replace my words with derogatory sexualized ones, then turn around and claim I hold a grudge? Icing on the cake. Got any mirrors in that big fancy home of yours?

Here’s the root of the matter: the only thing that just be true for someone to be “homeless” is that they don’t have a home. The fact that you’ve had such a narrow experience with the homeless that you think they must also be impoverished drug addicts does not mean that anyone who doesn’t have a home but isn’t an impoverished drug addict isn’t homeless, but rather that you speak overconfidently of things you know nothing.

If you met me on the street you’d see a happy guy walking on the street with his dog, taking the time stop and talk with anyone who cared to chat. You would hear no mention of my homelessness, and you’d walk away remaining stuck in your perverted worldview in which homelessness implies every bad thing you can imagine.

Fossils are not used to bridge the elimination of nuclear, that's already done by renewables. Fossils are used for industry and heat, where nuclear never added anything in the first place. And while technically it's possible to use the heat from nuclear plants to replace the heat-usage from fossils, the German plants were not designed for this, and probably not even in useful locations for this. AFAIK for using heat of plants, they need to be located near the places there it's used. And I kinda doubt many people would like to build nuclear plant in big cities.

If p is like by a lock, the compiler won't reorder the access outside of the lock but it can still take into account that i is a known constant to simplify the address computation of x[i] into x[3]. This is perfectly safe for a mutex protected variable as the mutex acquire will, in addition to the compiler barrier, provide the required hardware barriers.

This is is catastrophic, if, instead of relying on an hardware barrier, we rely on a load-load dependency chain originating from i; rewriting x[i] into x[3] break the chain and now, while the compiler might still not reorder the access, the hardware very much can.

What Deserves Our Attention?
This is fairly reductive. SSR is less about rendering HTML on the server, and more about having both the initial render and the client-side updates use the same process. Contrast this with other ways of rendering the front-end where either the client needs to build the entire view itself, or you need to write a separate application to do any client-side manipulation that might be necessary.

As with everything in software, it's all about tradeoffs. Using PHP to render your templates works great if there's limited client-side interaction (say, blogs, forums, documents, marketing pages etc), while frontend rendering allows you to build much more complicated applications that can react much quicker to user interaction, but will be slower to load the more complicated they become. And SSR tools try and have the best of both worlds, but make other aspects more complex in exchange.

If Deno does some things better than node, and nothing worse, then NPM support means users can gradually migrate from node. Any of those improvements might be enough motivation if they help your use-case.

AFAICT, there still isn’t a killer reason for my mature project to migrate, but removing the NPM blocker means I can consider it as soon as they release something that fits my use case.

Is this article about a specific vision of Eliezer's, or is it about belief in the existential threat of AI? Because it seems like it's about the former, but it's claiming to be about the latter. I personally don't espouse a totalitarian world government, even though I think it could solve the problem of AI x-risk, because I don't think it's the only solution. (To be clear, I don't think any solution is likely.)

> Seems like a wild religious claim

I really disagree, unless you consider "religion" and "belief" to be the same, in which case we can classify almost everything either of us says as "religious".

Regenerative braking should trigger brake lights if it's strong enough. The car knows your brake pressure and it knows how much regen torque it's applying. Just sum those two and turn on the light at the same threshold as before. OTOH there may be a federal regulation that doesn't permit that. I haven't studied FMVSS in a while.
volatile is truly a semantic mess. The effective definition of "suppresses optimizations" is difficult to work with, because the boundary between an optimization and weird feature interactions is incredibly murky. (e.g., don't ask what happens with volatile bitfields. Just don't.) It's better to replace it with things that have clearer semantics, even if they don't have the full functionality. The use of dedicated atomic intrinsics is one such clear replacement.

Indeed I've worked with hardware where it was more obvious how to lower an atomic load or store than it was to lower a volatile load or store, because the technical definition of volatile really doesn't comport with the practical meaning of "don't optimize this" (crazy hardware does things like that).
Wow! You're right; I wasn't considering that anyone would try to have that many indices. 100 is a lot. I should qualify my statement and say that you won't get in trouble with one index on a small table. I've edited my post accordingly.
>has evolved in modern literature to any item [which can] cause death when an image of them is mentally constructed

The excellent and memorable science fiction short story BLIT [0], by David Langford, is what I think of. In the story, a mathematical process called the Berryman Logical Image Technique produces images that cause segfaults in the primary visual cortex when viewed, and thereby irrevocably crash human minds.

I was introduced to the concept by the excellent The Laundry [2] series by Charles Stross ('cstross here on HN!), which features a dangerous fractal referred to as the Langford Death Parrot.

The viewpoint character, for much of the series, is a sysadmin.

Totally understood - you have to do it once per website per device but I get that's still a hassle. That said it doesn't have the UI quirks that (even good) password managers have.
Consider the example from the post of searching your shell history. If I don't need indexes I can just have it all in one flat file and use grep. Switching to a tool that supports indexing adds a lot of potential complexity and ways things could go wrong.

Or consider the example of a developer querying frontend logs: queries are many orders of magnitude less common than writes, and (at the scale I used to work at) an index would be incredibly expensive.

Requiring things be defined in the right order is a bit annoying, as the computer can surely figure it out... but a lot of us are working with really large codebases that are very slow to compile and alleviating the compiler from having to know the entire file--or in some cases entire modules... madness!!--before being able to understand what any of it means really helps.

Nothing happens to server if you stop paying, I will be just emailing you and asking what we could do better :)
You won’t be able to create apps or add more servers until you resume payments though, but nothing gets locked out breaking your apps etc.

In fact you can add a server through custom server option, then remove it from appliku and remove appliku keys. Free approach to quick server setup :)
Appliku doesn’t leave any trace or back door or additional software on your your server. Only ssh authorized keys.

Also none of your data except for build logs and everything related to configuration is stored on our servers either.
Well yes, but engine breaking is a lot weaker then regen braking can be, so there really needs to be break lights id deceleration is more than one would reasonably expect engine breaking to achieve
This looks great. One thing I’ve always wanted to see in a Rust ORM was support for returning lateral joins as nested JSON, similar to Zapatos[0] in Typescript land. The ability to do this at the database level instead of the application/orm level is super powerful in my experience.

> Should we not sanction countries ruled by terrorist organizations?

Correct.

The punishment should fit the crime. Being born in a location run by a terrorist organization is not a crime.

This idea of group punishment is a very slippery slope and I believe you've already slide down it. As I pointed out in the previous comment, there are domestic terrorists in the US. And I'll go even further, members of the US current government have argued that other members of that government attempted a coup. Can't get much stronger claims of being ran by a terrorist organization than that.

A good example of sanctions is the recent US ones vs Russia. It's almost entirely targeted towards individuals and property/companies associated with those individuals who promote/support invading Ukraine. (War being the crime, sanctions being the punishment).

w.r.t. PayPal, afaik they're not the only payments organization so I'm fine with them not providing service as it's not like the Palestinian's have no alternative. (As opposed to say the only grocery store in a region refusing to sell food to a homosexual).
Got it, I agree that's a harsh example I wrote.

When I read "I can't stand the way some people write", I get a similar sort of feeling. The intention is not that it is a harsh statement, but to me it's very harsh (although not on the same level as the example I wrote).

To me, this highlights the problem with criticism and why the thread is a bit divisive. It's a gap between intention and perception with different end results based on how feedback is perceived.

I didn't like Star Trek TMP when it was released in theaters because it was slow, but have come to appreciate it over the years.

The one thing OPEN LOOK did get right were the pushpins. It annoys me to see so many "modern" half-assed semi-skeuomorphic pushpins that instead of actually pushing in just remain in the "not pushed in" state, but highlight a framing box instead. It's in the name, people. It's supposed to pin the window on the screen, and how can it do that it it's just highlighted instead of actually pushing into the hole? Pushpins REALLY should safely and satisfyingly push in, not just sit there sharply pointing out at you menacingly like that. It's not rocket science so I don't understand why so many pushpins don't push in. Was there a user interface software patent on pushpins that push in?

If we look at the issues Tesla has with quality control the Germans are still coming from a position of strength, even if they are ICE specialists.
