In the 70’s, the AI folks were at the D. C. Power building (the benefactor’s name!) up in the hills behind campus (pass 280 on Page Mill, turn right on Arastradero; but don’t expect to see it: it was torn down some time ago, as being too decrepit).

They had a customized DEC10 (and certainly no IBM mainframes) on which Knuth actually wrote Sail TeX, as they had the best development environment around. The rest of the CS department was in Polya Hall on campus, and then Margaret Jacks Hall in the main quad, with a standard DEC20 and Vaxen and Sun Workstations by and by (and still no IBM stuff).

In the 80’s the AI folks moved in, too, bringing their DEC10 with them, so there was no more need to trek to the lab. Eventually, the insulation on the wire-wrapped backplane wires started to fail, and the CPU was kept going by strategically placing toothpicks to avoid shorts where the wires took a 90 degree turn around a pin (Don Coates was an old-old-school magician). Finally it was too much effort to keep going, and Knuth moved over to *nix when it was retired in 91 or so.

Anyway, no, the AI group, while strong and independent, was still officially part of CS. Now, the hardware and chip stuff was over in EE, which was separate (but still no IBM mainframe).
From the parsers I see in the wild (not strictly speaking about compilers here), I think most programmers should definitely spend some time studying the basics of them. It’s incredible to me how people mess up parsing even the simplest of file formats or make it super complicated.

I'd love to see a breakdown or writeup on this subject in general.
I've never used obsidian or zettelkasten based notes app . I only have a vague idea of how they operate . It's something I've wondered how one would do effectively. When adding a new note , how would one know what are the relevant notes one has to link the current notes to ? It seems a bit stressful .One has to go through O(N) notes every time a new note is added to find all possible links .
I think what the original commenter meant was not to worry about these structuring in your notes , "letting it go" . Else it can tend to become productivity masturbation.
How are you thinking about pricing it out?

I was just thinking earlier today about the absolute meaninglessness of my Big Tech job — and whether it's even feasible or worthwhile to try and find something better.

I have meetings, and many of those meetings are about other meetings. In fleeting moments between calendar chimes, video calls, chat pings, and the flood of email, I code little morsels of SQL or Blub to at least do something interesting. It's tolerable, like all studies in nihilism. But you've got me wondering what it'd be like to work on something I'm genuinely enthusiastic about.

I really dislike the notion of taking a reduction in income to get that, though. I can't pay the bills with "meaning."

> Something else that I'll say. I had children way too young.

On the upside…you’ll have a long life together with your children (and maybe grandchildren), at an age when you are young enough to really enjoy it. I know people who waited a long time to have kids, and then by the time their kids were adults, they were in their mid-late sixties. They end up needing care as they age when their children are young, relatively poor, and with young children of their own…which can make it hard to care for their now-elderly parents.
Super exciting.

For people who haven't heard Coltrane, I would highly recommend "Ballads" and "John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman" as a very very lovely and gentle intro. I have successfully got people who don't even like jazz into Coltrane with those. "Ballads" was done sort of as a riposte to critics who said that he was basically a stunt sax player who could only play fast and crazy and it comprises some of the most beautiful playing of ballads from the standard repertoire you'll ever hear. And the album with Johnny Hartman shows how to play with a singer. The versions of "My One and Only Love" and "Lush Life" on that recording will always be definitive but it's all fantastic. You could also add "Duke Ellington and John Coltrane" to the same category. It's amazing to hear them together but it's more of a thing for people who already like jazz. The version of "In a sentimental mood" from that recording is an all-time great.

Then for the golden period obviously "A Love Supreme" is the one everyone talks about and rightly so because it is a masterpiece, but I would recommend "Crescent". Just an incredible recording which has everything. When I got it I was a student and people in my place of residence thought I had lost my marbles because I literally played the entire recording from start to finish 8 times in a row. It remains my favourite album of all time.

Then I would recommend the album called "Coltrane" and "Coltrane plays the blues" both great, but honestly anything from that period is wonderful.

From there the world is your oyster - I some of the more bonkers stuff (eg the stuff with Dolphy) but if you like crazy, high energy improvisation, the one that jazzers often talk about and shake their heads with awe is "Amen" from "Sun Ship", seriously nuts.

Postscript to add: I joined a big band when their bassist was fired and had just one rehearsal before a gig at a festival. All the music was really difficult and I was sightreading. Our slot was late so I went to the main gig which was an absolutely mindblowing solo piano gig by McCoy Tyner (Famous for being the pianist on most of the recordings I mentioned above with Coltrane). I figured noone would be at our gig after McCoy but not only was the entire place completely packed out but McCoy was sitting at the very front at a table about 3 or 4 meters from me. He spoke to us in the break and was really nice and encouraging.
> Those might all be nice things for a society to provide, but it isn't going to reduce the crime rate.

Sure, because this whole conversation very intentionally ignores the biggest drivers of the crime rate. Most crime is committed by people the “law and order” crowd has no interest in going after. If we really want to make a dent in the crime rate, we should tackle things like wage theft and police misconduct and civil asset forfeiture.

Wait — that last one’s not actually a crime, because crime is socially constructed and we’ve decided that stealing is okay if the right people do it. The entire point of this “crime wave” project is to find ways to criminalize people we as a society don’t like.
My personal experience has only been from the tourism side with one concrete example being digital payments outside of PayPay. It's much better post COVID but even on my most recent trip from a couple of months ago if you want pay by card, the vast majority of the time you're signing with pen and paper. Rarely did they offer pin or tap which is common elsewhere.

Anecdotally I only know stories from people that I know personally that live there and through the internet. Eg PauloInTokyo does good "day in the life" videos. Off the top of my head I believe the Pachinko episode illustrates a variety of old school manual processes that have stuck around (pen and paper shift logs etc).

I've also heard opening even a simple bank account is quite the pain.
Would someone from/in the UK/NZ/AU/etc. be able to say more about the outcomes of these principles, e.g. in the context of public protests?

You could try legal insurance. Costs about 200$ equivalent/year where I live, then I have a place to ask legal questions and escalate as needed. I think they cover the first 150k$ worth of legal costs with any lawyer I pick if it goes that far and their in-house lawyers can’t get the other party to back down.
For syncing on my own database, I just put the source directory of my graph into a folder in my computer's documents folder (on a mac). Then I have the documents folder enabled for iCloud syncing.

I do the same thing on my work computer, iPad, and iPhone. So the files are synced using the iCloud backbone. I just point each instance of Obsidian to the same folder locally on each computer and the file is synced in the background, with Obsidian unaware of this, it just treats it as a local graph. And it works flawlessly.

This is effortless for people with Macs. For people on cross-platform systems you could use dropbox, google drive, or onedrive or similar. Plenty of solutions out there.
Hi! Sneller CTO here.

Thanks for pointing out the dependency on the AGPL bits -- I'm going to fix that ASAP. (There's just a small utility library we've got to re-license as Apache-2 as well.)

Once we're comfortable committing to the format for the long haul, we're planning on publishing a C implementation as well. There are still a few tweaks we've been evaluating to try to make the compression ratio a tiny bit more competitive.

It’s the very inability of the hot air balloons to maneuver that makes them unsafe. There are countless balloon accidents where the craft are dragged along the ground, blown into power lines and other obstructions because the pilots have no real control of the flight path (other than limited control of altitude).

So, again, it’s my opinion that balloons are the real danger, not UAV’s.

I get a cold sweat whenever I use Chrome Web Store. How do I know that what I'm downloading is legitimate and not malware that's been made to look like another well known extension? The download counts aren't useful in determining that either, it's just a number and who's to know that it hasn't been manipulated by bots? I'm wary of suggestions that Google could implement a meaningful review process. They claim to do that for ads, yet it's not unusual to see ads in search for software that's obviously malware.

Historically when a large organisation does something that looks really dumb, it's usually exactly as dumb as it looks. I'd expect most individuals to make better decisions about Reddit than Reddit does, because of the whole "the intelligence of a group is that of its dumbest member divided by the square root of the number of people in it" effect.
Capstone is used[1] by QEMU as disassembly engine in debug logs and in monitor mode debugger, by the way, so it's in the scope of the RISE effort.

> in my experience once you get past a certain point (~X000 MB/s) performance gains become pretty marginal in real world applications

There might be no latency benefits to that, but there's always a throughput gain from using fewer cpu cycles over all - the cpu cycles you would have spent decompressing can be used for other things.

For that reason single-core performance would still be nice to have and always great to have open source code which is performance centric so that we all get to find out "How the hell did they do it?" (it is very readable assembly [1])

> I'd like to see compression speeds and performance on AVX if AVX-512 is not available.

The ARM is probably more interesting in the elastic compute world right now, the AVX world is unlikely to get cheaper.

And unlike before, I don't need to wait for a vendor to sell me an SoC, Gravitons are already here.

I didn’t make the technical arguments, that would be too long for an HN comment. Check out Robert Miles’s YouTube channel for a good introduction to the more technical side.
They don't really offer a service, though. They just built a toll gate and tricked people into needing to cross through it. An ever-increasingly annoying, crappy toll gate at that.

Presumably that's why they haven't booted old.* users yet. They realize that a really substantial amount of their network effects and their moat stem from quality posts by people using computers.

Reddit is about to fuck around and find out, and unfortunately I think they're going to find out that people will just dump everything into even more annoyingly gated-off Discord communities
Also important to note that the entity that did the illegal act is different than the one paying the fine.
>Are there any Imagination gpu drivers this time around

Proprietary drivers are available and work.

Open source drivers in the form of a mesa3d driver are being developed by a third party employed by Imagination Technology. We know about this effort since early last year.

I do not know the state of the effort.
Definitely there's a lot of workloads that are pure data-munging, where you don't want to store the whole bloated JSON (or protobuf) mess on eg. S3 where you're paying by the byte, but at the same time, you're looking at key parts of your infra which are spending double digit percentages of their CPU time just decompressing stuff.

Sure, you can say the problem is JSON, protobuf, whatever. But in a huge organization with hundreds or thousands of types of documents, it's a needless friction to require custom optimized formats for each one.

So a faster decompressor is often a no-brainer of a win and can have substantial dollar values attached.
That’s why magnet links were invented for torrents. They don’t link to any content, just give your client a unique ID to find peers for.

This seems like a very convoluted way of saying "advertisers like to know what they're going to be displayed next to, unmoderated UGC makes that difficult." A group of people could be talking about sports without sharing any non-sports-related ideologies or rules beyond "keep it PG" and advertisers would have no issue with that. While that same group of people but in the context of sharing porn would be very advertiser-unfriendly.

That's an ancient (in internet terms) problem, framing Reddit as some sort of intentional ideology-spreading-loss-leader-for-powerful-capitalists doesn't correspond with their actions - after all, Reddit has been deeply involved in the spreading of all sorts of ideas on all ends of political spectrums.

They're just running into the same issues all these "give something cool away then hope you can make it profitable later" business do of trying to turn the revenue knobs slowly enough to not drive everyone off.
An easy to reach for activity that usually involves parsing is stuff like Advent of Code, where there is almost always a parsing step.
If small organizations and teams can’t use it, then open sourcing it mostly just benefits big tech

That’s not ideal

How does open source licensing work with respect to trained ai models anyway? Is something like the mit license even that valuable here? Or is it?
EVs generally do, at low speeds. I believe it’s legally mandated in the US as of a few years ago.
Most of the companies I work with are actively putting in place policies to prevent employees from using OpenAI's service because nobody wants to send their proprietary IP to them.

Almost all of these companies have the technical ability, desire, and means to self-host for their employee community. Imagine the internal coup for CTO/CIOs everywhere to buy whatever is the latest Nvidia GPU cluster box, stick it in the on-prem datacenter, load a licensed GPT model and provide "AI as a service to our employees".

Except what's happening is everybody is looking at buying the box from Nvidia, and sticking a large actually open model on it and simply ignoring OpenAI.

And I wonder the same. My family moved around a lot growing up and one of the few constants was a visit to a specific theme park every year. It seemed to be one of the few constants in my life when I was younger. I'm sure that certainly influenced the way that I feel about them. I bet a surprising amount of other enthusiasts would have similar stories.

They discuss flow-state and they state that it amplifies learning. Flow state is always described as being in a state of intense focus and where you might not even notice the passage of time.

I have experienced this state many times in life, it usually triggers when I'm deeply focused on a task. In this state things become easy and time seems to fly by. There is another state though and that one has only triggered in "life and death" situations for me. One was during an actual life and death situation involving a rock slide and the other when playing Counter-Strike and my whole team got wiped out and the opposing team converged on my position.

In both of those occasions you have your usual emotional detachment but instead feel as if you are watching yourself do the actions instead of feeling like you are doing them. Time slows down though, and even though you are relaxed and calm you feel the performance difference from what you are normally able to do and your fear is the knowledge that if you come out of this state before the danger is over you are done for.

That second state feels different and I'm sure its the 'flow' people that do extreme sports talk about. Is there a different name for that state? or is that too just called 'flow' aswell?.

This isn't exactly true, it's relatively common to see HN-user created games on the front-page. I think you're engaging in typical-mind; while this community is a space for nerds, not everyone here is interested in video games. The shared interest here is for "hacking", computer science, and computer software. I wouldn't even say the forum is necessarily business oriented, despite the association with Y-Combinator. It's simply that, because of the incentives, there is a lot of interesting software and research that comes from the private sector.
You don't need to even read their law to know that they are speaking only of training and not of output. Otherwise, they would have just suddenly created the world's most obvious loophole. Create an 'LLM' that "trains" on some input and then categorically outputs each file, be it a movie, song, book, or whatever. You've now legalized copyright infringement (and distribution) of everything.

So their law is going to essentially come down to you can train your LLM on whatever you want, but can also be held liable for any infringing outputs.
Or ask two or three historical questions that very few humans would know anything about ... but a well-trained model would.
True - and their lack of rate limiting ended up letting someone overwhelm their servers, knocking them offline.
I’m sorry, who is buying “ideological conformity” for it to be worth so much? Everything you’ve said sounds great but I’m trying to dig under the surface and I’m honestly confused.

Reddit’s product is ad-supported message boards. It has a high valuation because it gets an incredible number of eyeballs every day and investors want to monetise them. Reddit is flailing because those users aren’t as monetisable as investors hoped. I don’t think it’s a whole lot more complicated than that, not everything has to be a political conspiracy theory.
The things that an LLM is likely to contain a complete verbatim copy of are things that are a) short b) widely repeated to the point that they're embedded into our culture - and by that token those things are almost certainly not copyrightable.
