Your point about it being an authority bias is really interesting and in line with a lot of the political views I encounter on this venture capital forum. It might also tie in a bit to the US disposition towards punitive vs rehabilitative imprisonment.

Everyone is very quick to suggest brutal punishment for the people who have contradicted the will of the authoritative system, but people aren't really so interested in discussing both why they've done so, and the societal consequences of that disobedience. And even then, not considered the impact on the individual being punished; many people seem to be wishing permanent banishment from the university system for cheating in what is probably a random side unit elective class.

All the car has to do is to be better than humans. Humans also make accidents, its just that we generally don't make a complaint be cause we know it's our fault.

Its quite likely that the AI hype (or more precisely the LLM hype) will deflate like the crypto hype even if for a different set of reasons.

People have been conditioned on expecting the next big thing, FOMO on trillion dollar companies, winner-takes-all etc. as if that is the new normal.

Its quite unlikely that things will play out this way again. The iphone moment or the google moment or the facebook moment will not keep giving "tech" moments.

Tech has both arrived and also bitten more than it can chew. Take for example the rise and fall of crypto. It may have degenerated into inane speculation but not before raising fear deep in the core of the financial system. This is was shutdown libra and prompted cbdc discussions.

Technically we have definetely turned a page in the last decade: algorithms and network protocols keep evolving.

But we have not found a new social equilibrium on how to adopt and deploy new business models. Privacy, sovereignty, power and control, regulation are now center stage.

Tech startups changing the world (for good or bad) does not look like the mode for this decade.

Established entities selling shovels will milk the trend for a while but it feels that the next decade will be decidedly different (mostly regulated corporate adoption rather than startupy).
> CUDA lock in

The amount of software written for CUDA pales in comparison to the amount that has been written for Intel x86, yet two large companies migrated off it.

The lock-in with Intel was due to binary distribution (Windows software), and binary ABIs.

Everything to do with large language models is compiled from scratch, using high level languages.

The LLM codes themselves themselves are trivial things, easily replicated in a matter of hours on some other platforms. The hard part is gathering the training data and the compute.

The hard parts are not dependent on CUDA.

Look at it this way: Google developed Transformers and trained multiple LLMs using TPUs, not CUDA GPUs! The reason their LLMs are stupid is not because of the TPUs.

I'm afraid it's basically junk. Once you get past the basics like "access to safe water" and "deaths from lead exposure" you're in highly subjective territory.

"Access to justice," -- does this take into account the fact that in some countries this is available only in principle, for those who can afford to spend $100,000+ on lawyers to pursue a civil case?

"Public sector corruption" -- how is lobbying and the regulatory/corporate revolving-door handled? This can be significantly worse than old-fashioned cash-in-a-briefcase corruption. (Which sometimes has a salubrious effect: https://www.city-journal.org/article/the-uses-of-corruption)

For "how well does a country provide?" this is perhaps a more useful sorting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_life_expe...

Ask HN: How do you deal with large Python code bases?
Currently I am working on a Python code base with 10k - 100k loc. The service does not depend on Python SciPy tooling or similar but is web backend on top a large db. I worked with Python for several years and it is still my go to language for a lot of task. However I feel that Python advantages like dynamic typing become increasingly disadvantages when the code base grows. How do you deal with Python in large code bases? We use MyPy, black, Tox, pytest etc. any tips? I feel like (for the next project) moving to a typed language like Kotlin/Go etc. might be the better choice then using Python when not depending on the SciPy/ML/DL stack.

Short story, CPU's can do calculations, they can do them one at a time. Think of something like 1+1, = 2. If you had 1 million equations like these, CPU's will generally do them one at a go, i.e the first one, then the second, etc.

GPUs were optimised to draw, so were able to do dozens of these at a go. So these can be used for AI/ML in both gradient descent and inference (forward passes). Because you can do many at a go, in parallel, they speed things up dramatically. Geoff Hinton experimented with GPUs exploiting their ability to do this, but they aren't actually optimised to do that. It just turned out that it is the best way available to do it at the time, and still currently.

AI chips, are optimised to do either inference or gradient descent. They are not good at drawing like GPUs are. They are optimised for machine learning and joining other AI chips together so you can have massive networks of chips that can parallel compute.

One other class of chips that has not yet shown up are ASICs that mimic the transformers architectures for even more speed - though it changes too much at the moment for it to be useful.

Also because of the mechanics of scale manufacturing: GPUs are currently cheaper per flop of compute as the aggregate of scale is shared with graphical uses. Though with time if there is enough scale AI chips should end up cheaper

No, it's okay. Coming from two people with your backgrounds, okay. What I really don't like is that sometimes people make assertions here and they really are not in a position to do so, and it looked like this was the case here until you clarified. Upvoted both.
One of the amazing things from a western perspective about the less developed world is being able to buy a full course of antibiotics without a prescription for a few dollars.

Even this isn't wholly clear. They should have said:

> “Monotype fonts that have been specially adapted to these recommendations carry the name affix "1450".”

The word “that” defines the subject of the sentence; the word “which” describes the already-defined subject. This is a rule of thumb usually expressed as: “‘that’ defines; ‘which’ describes”.

Let's say there was a murder in the house next door to yours. You didn't kill the person. But the news channel is reporting that you had an argument with the person one month ago. Do you think it's morally right to report that? Or do you think there needs to be more evidence before the news channel makes that subtle connection?

my wife had a requirement: be able to have an intercom for the house and shed. We used to have a baby monitor, but that was one way, for one room. Now we need many more rooms to talk to each other.

I looked at some intercoms on amazon/ebay, they are all RF and a bit shit. I saw some wifi ones, but nothing cheap enough to take a punt on. I did think about trying to make something with an ESP32, but that would be too hard for me in the time.

So I bought 6 cisco 7962 sip phones for £35 in total, and installed freepbx.

It took a bit of effort to bring the tftp server online, and make sure all the dhcp info was being passed on correctly. Once that was complete, freepbx makes most things pretty simple.

Now, I have ethernet is most rooms, and a switch that can do PoE, so this solution is for a niche of a niche

I have traveled to several countries across the world. Rich, poor and middle income. And I noticed that happiness has a low correlation with how rich the country is or how much the government provides for its citizens. It seems to be much more nuanced than that.

For example Nordic countries rank among the happiest in the world. Yet, anyone who has lived through a cold dark nordic winter will tell you a different story. Similarly, you visit a poor African village and you see people who are somehow genuinely happy and content.

Something about these rankings seems very broken.

> People have been conditioned on expecting the next big thing, FOMO on trillion dollar companies, winner-takes-all etc. as if that is the new normal.

People have been FOMO investing since the start of investment opportunities. Tulip Mania was a famous bubble in the 1600s. Even when people mostly predict the future correctly, they can be too early like with the dot com bubble (the internet seems to mostly have worked out and arguably beyond the expectations of most of the dot com speculators). AI could very well bring major improvements to productivity at some point, but if it happens, will it be while current speculators can stay solvent or will they be too early in the same way dot com speculators were?
I basically had a blank page, but using the reader mode you can read the content
Large language models do a great job of emulating meaning. That's their biggest strength and greatest weakness. We got a finally good chatbot, at the cost of making people project so much more then a chatbot on it. LLMs can't mean anything. They can only produce surrogate meaning.

When you compress vast amounts of text into a model and query the model you can only get back information that is already in the training data set. It's inherently backwards looking, it cannot produce lowered entropy forward in time. You can't get more knowledge out of it, only less then you inputted in the first place.
I use ChatBot-UI to achieve something like 1 and 2 together. It runs locally and uses the OpenAI API to provide a ChatGPT-like experience, but the chat history is saved locally in the browser. It also has a useful prompt management sidebar.

Of course, OpenAI saves the data regardless, but they say they don't use API requests for training data and they claim it's deleted after 30 days.

As part of their defense, they said that the lawyer used ChatGPT for the first time. Which isn't necessarily true, but it means that he would have repeated the same answer if asked directly whether he used it in other cases or not.

There is just one that I don't understand about this article

It makes the difference between possessions that are truly a mean to an end, like a guitar to allow you to do music, and the Instagram experience (like going to the fancy restaurant when you're visibly not interested in food)

When you like something (in this article the music), you can't dissociate the possessions to do it (the guitar), and all the experience you need to practice and do your passion (your guitar will be pointless without gigs, without traveling to see inspiring and skilled people to train you, to find a subject to sing about,...)

And that can be extended to anything!
Like science ? What's the point of owning a supercomputer and lab equipment if you don't go to conferences and PhD presentations of your friends ?

Like cycling? What's the point of owning a bicycle if you don't cycle to nearby towns to have restaurants there, or never travel to the mountains to practice,... ?

When you're passionate about something, this passion and the people you will meet for it will matter.
It's not a matter of possessions vs experiences.

The only thing that matters is to thing about how each experience and possession will shape you

I noticed about the same in my travels. The happiest people were among the poorest. The difference seemed to be the people - a person surrounded with 10 friends and family members telling stories and jokes doesn't need much. A lonely person making 300k a year can buy it all, but always needs something.
It's more like "the limitations you point out are fixed by paying more money", which is the OpenAI way.

Yeah, drugs are relatively cheap here, and you just walk into a pharmacy and buy it. A true free market, although self-medication is a major problem.
As an RTS fan, I'm surprised you compare it to Generals and Starcraft instead of the obvious inspiration: SupCom. BAR is basically Total Annihilation and Supreme Commander reincarnated. I think even the devs call it a clone or derivative.

I think you're misreading the parent comment or reinterpreting the intent behind it.

Someone made a thing. They get to decide who they share it with. It's very smug and entitled to then go to that person and tell them "actually no. the thing you created.. its not yours anymore. It's now ours - and we're going to use it how we want to use it".

It's cool you like to play my game and you had fun - but that doesn't mean you suddenly have a right to play it whenever you want - unless we came to that agreement. I'm not a creator myself, but I could see how that just feels incredibly violating. I frankly feel this copyright-reform sentiments come from people that have never created anything that they felt personal ownership over.

I'd argue that copyright expiration is not at all about some imagined exchange of legal protections for .. the use of courts (since when is the use of courts treated as a privilege?) and is more about historical preservation and the fact that ownership is often eventually lost. Most copyright provisions are so long that by the time they expire there is noone left to feel robbed, slighted or taken advantage of.

Why does this matter for the release of this whale kept in captivity and why should the sailors even try to? And of course, how would they go about it? [1]

Fortunately, the orca attacs were limited to what is believed to be a single pod off the coast of Spain. This is certainly a disturbing behavior, but fortunately, no humans were harmed. There was some significant damage done to some boats, only one is known to have sunk as a consequence.

Interestingly, when the sailers deployed and boarded their life rafts, they were not attacked by the orcas, despite life rafts being an even easier target.
Also, the attacks mostly concentrated on the rudders of the attacked ships.

1: Besides that it would be illegal to try to harm the orcas and most sailors - we are talking about recreational boats being attacked - are quite peaceful, they wouldn't have any armament to even attempt an attack. Not to mention how counterproductive such an attempt could be.
> When I look around myself, I see two kinds of consumers, broadly speaking. One tends more toward having nice possessions: They have nicely decorated homes and stylish clothing. The other tends more toward having crazy experiences: They’ve traveled widely for meditation retreats, exotic meals, and maybe the occasional orgy.

This makes it sound like the author lives in an episode of Succession.

More importantly, the author doesn't seem to understand what "experiences" mean, because the examples he gives are very similar to "possessions" -- "trying the beef in Argentina" or making one's "entire [life] into the most glamorous Instagram feed possible". He systematically refers to experiences as something you buy.

Experiences are like love: the best ones are the ones you don't have to pay for.

For sure. And that is how it should be. I absolutely love Norway and think that it is a beautiful country. But I also couldn't ever imagine living there because of the weather. So perhaps "quality of life" has much more to it than socialized healthcare and benefits. No?

Just release “user” profiles that are dotfiles, namespaces, cgroups rules, and a git repo to clone.

It isn't complex. Germany's behavior is pure phobia. Japan has an even higher population density than Germany and is still pursuing nuclear.

With modern safety standards and Germany's lack of plate tectonics, it is basically impossible for a serious nuclear event to occur in Germany.
