Cool, when can I buy a Morello board for myself? I don't really care until this product actually exists. I'm not a large research institution looking to participate in their program, I just want something interesting to play with.
It's weird, I have done quite a bit of top-roping and bouldering, but never really found it conducive to making friendships. Or maybe I'm just not the right demographic (early 40s, male). Definitely I chat to people about specific problems, but it never really seems to go beyond that.
The rule is "Devices that restrict the opening of windows and door height windows". I can't see the details of it though.

In your edit: "My friend asked for this, so his children would not be able to open the windows and fall out."

I guess it's "not in the slightest" because it restricts the handle and not the window. But the handle restricts the window??? Or can I assume the standard only covers something like what is pictured in the first link?

We are massively far away from modeling the human brain. First of all, no one can agree what level is necessary to model the brain, and that varies tremendously by scientific question. Personally, my lower limit would be something like the computational package Neuron which models voltages across axon compartments and distribution of ion channels, My upper limit confidence bound is we don’t care about anything subatomic.

At the upper bound: In molecular dynamics, which is used extensively in modern day neuroscience to understand the function of ion channels and GPCRs, a single H100 can model 70ns/day of compute for 1M atoms. There are 8.64e+13 nanoseconds per day. There are ~10^26 atoms in a human brain. Therefore, an upper limit back of envelope is you need fewer than 10e+26 atoms / 10e+9 atoms * 8.64e+13 ns / 70 ns = 1.23e+29 H100 GPUs.

Calculating the lower bound is more difficult, but let’s start by saying you can get away with a fp16 for each synapse. Storing the weights of that model for 100 trillion synapses is 200 Terabytes, and if you figure weight size * 4 or so to do anything useful then this is in spitting distance. Note that this example lower bound is massively less complex than the Neuron model I suggested, as the entire field of neuromodulators, homeostatic mechanisms, glia, and more are thrown out, which are all important for modeling how the brain works under certain computational regimes.

The power bill is not related to production cost, though, so taxes and subsidies count for that comparison.
FYI: I’ve read the whole comment chain under this post before replying

> I told it that it was a senior engineer and I was a random client and asked the same thing.

I’m aware that ChatGPT is capable of performing the task I chose. I agree that it’s a relatively weak example, especially if it was my goal to show that AI can’t do this.

That’s not really what I was trying to show, though. My point is that you knew two things that many/most people probably wouldn’t:

1) That crafting your prompts to get the LLM to adopt a “persona” impacts the results significantly

2) That monkey patching has downsides, and that understanding when it is appropriate is important

I strongly suspect that you knew both of those things because you are a senior engineer yourself. My point is that some level of domain knowledge is necessary to get good results from it; my fear is that one day in the not too distant future, far fewer people will be around with that knowledge, because we’ve slowed the “senior engineer pipeline” down to a trickle through the use of these tools.
Spamming description with emoji is certainly one way to show a project is serious...
I find the messed-up imagery disturbing not necessarily because of what they depict but because it's such a convincing emulation of "visions" I've had when my brain is doing... not so great. Illness, fever dreams, and bad drug trips.

It looks like what most people have probably seen in some capacity but wouldn't or couldn't ever put down on paper. That's deeply fascinating in its own right.

Crushed by what? Weakly-interacting bosons can't crush you with pressure.

As far as gravity goes, as long as you're on a direct trajectory towards the center, you'll be free-falling so won't experience a gravitational "force" in your own reference frame.
Science Before Statistics: Causal Inference
If we search foreigners phones, that means we are OK with our own phones getting searched too. If our foreign policy is creating a "rules based international order" which Blinken certainly seems to say a lot, then rules for thee but not for me is a clear violation of that principle. I don't want my phone searched at borders which means I don't want to search other peoples phones at the border, particularly without a warrant.

Border agents with unchecked discretionary power is also a slight against rule of law and I think warrants are a check on that power. Maybe they are more checked than I believe them to be or have less discretionary power than I believe them to have. I am open to the idea that I am wrong.
I think the cat's slow blink is functionally related to a human smile, which when truly felt, also causes the eyes to close and then open slowly.

I've noticed that my two Siamese cats often combine the slow blink with either a bowing of the head or lifting of the chin. They also very often yawn while making eye contact when my wife or I enter the room.

> their request still goes through at the end so what do they care if it took 2000ms longer?

It means that on this hardware they can make one request per two seconds not thousands per second.

And it affects all of the hardware under the control of an attacker, so his attack becomes thousands times less dangerous.

> Biggest problem with DDOS though is that if the volume is even reaching your application server, you're probably hosed.

That's why I'm suggesting that challenge generation and validation can be done on separate machines. So your application servers can be safe.

Obfuscation is a valid point too.

I thought about it for a bit, made some experiments. Now I think the challenge should be completely random but the server needs to keep track of recently issued challenges and solved challenges to prevent reusing of already calculated solutions. I think bloom filters would be perfect for that because some small percentage of false negatives doesn't matter.
I don't find it hard to resolve, personally.

Cosmologically, the world can be full of special, beautiful, unique things AND be merely the result of some computation. That is what a fractal is, no?

So if your concern is with your mind being special, that's not a problem that needed to be addressed by saying "nothing else in nature possesses this particular fractal boundary". You merely have to be one point on the curve, somewhere, and to the extent that an AI could replicate it, it would still be an approximation of such. It might be a very good one, but it wouldn't have the same causal relationship to nature, and therefore would be special in a different way, for the same reason that when you turn over an hourglass, the grain of sand that was special for being the last to fall now becomes the grain special for being the first to fall - it's "just" sand, but it's also positionally different.

So the world could be deterministic, but the interpretive meaning of that might not be "chains of fate," but a perpetual explosion of color and possibility, in which I will never know for certain in what way I might be unique, but it is far more likely that I am than not.

Ask HN: Is anyone using AI to help with parsing data?
I'm interesting in crawling a variety of websites and extracting data from them. I'm curious to see if AI could be useful in the extraction process.

Some preliminary exploration shows that ChatGPT is pretty good at it. I'm not keen on paying lots of money for ChatGPT or being reliant on a third party. Has anyone tried doing parsing with a local LLM?
Few U.S.-China flights are back despite the end of Covid
Agreed. Tweaks: I don't think C++ is going to be relevant for much longer, Rust solves the problem space better.

Python ... maybe? It's so different than the rest, I can see it going the way of Ruby once AI bindings improve in other languages. I can also see Julia dominating the AI space.

The "better than X" languages though? C#, F#, Scala? Done. I don't even hear about Kotlin that much anymore, Java is starting to adopt the good stuff from them.
I think a long ways away, if I understand this article about the difficulties involved in accurately modeling even a single biological neuron:

https://www.quantamagazine.org/how-computationally-complex-i...

> "If each biological neuron is like a five-layer artificial neural network, then perhaps an image classification network with 50 layers is equivalent to 10 real neurons in a biological network."

The complexity explodes quickly because each biological neuron's behavior is modulated by a large number of biochemical neurotransmitters, on top of all the dendritic connections (up to 15,000 each, apparently).

For my domains personally the static math functions are still clunky to me in C#, and the forced compiler time inlining can really help some algorithms with massive perf gains (experienced firsthand) especially with some of the newer .NET features (e.g. ref's). IMO to me the nicest thing is the terse syntax, and that I need less IDE as a result. There just seems to be less refactoring tools required to get started and onboard people.

I think the abandonware thing is expected. But I think this is the cost of a language that is a child's to a main ecosystem and doesn't just apply to F#. Unless its specific to FP/the F# domain it will be written in C# or whatever the common language is for that platform. Ironically the language with the least features is the one to write in (LCD) so it targets the most people. Why would I just target one language on the platform when I can target all languages? Especially if I'm paying a team to write the library. Most bang for buck so to speak.

Hence most things in these side languages are either wrappers to make them more idiomatic and/or pattern libraries that are specific to the extra value add the language has and usually don't need to change much once implemented. I think that's fine and pragmatic, why reinvent something that works?
I do coding exercises!
Does a warrant to a third party require your notification? Either it does, in which case this is different, or it doesn't, in which case this is no different at all, and it's purely up to the third parties in general as to whether they want to notify you about what is (now) legal access to your records from a government entity.
I have been looking into this as well.

I'm strongly convinced that Chu duality or similar (i.e. the duality between states and transition between states is at play). At first, the model learns only the states but over time it learns the transformations.

Ironically, this is a similar process to QTF renormalization.

You can write glue for whatever hosts your repository to make api calls to Jira.

Say you have some code that needs some changes but at a later time, you can put a comment above it (or really anywhere)

// JIRA: MYPROJ-123

When the glue sees that comment disappear from the codebase, it can mark the ticket as done.
Exercise makes me tired and more irritable than normal for at least a day after and often beyond. I also tend to make more mistakes and forget obvious things. Coworkers at multiple places have said "You exercised yesterday, didn't you?" Their hit rate on the prediction is excellent!

As an aside: How credible is HBR.org? I've been underwhelmed by the caliber of articles I've read there. Are the authors commissioned by the University or do authors submit in hopes of getting some Harvard shine attached to their names?
Its in the webpage you linked

"In March 2019, AMI released a statement responding to de Becker's column that the only source for their story on Bezos was Michael Sanchez, the brother of Bezos's girlfriend, and that there was "no involvement by any other third party whatsoever."[24] A year later, Michael Sanchez sued AMI, stating in court documents that when the National Enquirer first contacted him, they already had "raunchy text messages and nude selfies exchanged" by Bezos and Sanchez's sister. Michael Sanchez denied giving AMI explicit photos, and accused AMI of hacking Bezos's phone."
You realize this shows the leadership team that there is worker organization.

There isn’t a lot of tech unions, so we could see the ball rolling on this which could result in something very powerful.
I love F#, I use it professionally. But I agree with everything written in this post. I hate that F# is not a safe choice yet. I wish that it were but it doesn't have the critical mass. That means hiring others is not going to be as easy as finding an existing F# developer.

Functional programing is different. I don't think it's hard but it's not what most developers have spent years practicing. So there is a learning curve to get over.

Critical mass is a problem for all new languages and often it's not the best language that will win critical mass. It's the one that gets adopted for reasons that aren't always merit (see javascript).

I pick F# because it's easier for me to avoid silly mistakes. I find my code is easier to change and it's harder to write some classes of bugs. It's also very pleasant to use.

But C# is pretty good at all of these things, F# is just a little bit nicer. But that little bit comes at a big cost of being very different.
Yes you will enter the country no matter what, but people should not forget that a CBP inspection during entry is still a law enforcement encounter and could result in criminal liability just like any encounter with police.

This novel approach seems like it could be highly effective in humans and doesn't require mRNA therapeutics or the use of a spike protein to initiate an immune system reaction. I'd be interested to see how this treatment evolves.

"[The decoy] is a version of ACE2, the surface protein to which the virus attaches, which, unlike the natural, cell-bound version, is untethered from the cell surface. The free-floating decoy binds to the virus by its spikes so that it can no longer attach to ACE2 on cells in airways. Unlike the monoclonal antibodies, which are shaped to interfere with a certain spike shape, the decoy mimics the spike’s main target, and the virus cannot easily evolve away from binding to ACE2 and still invade cells."
True. And drowning is one of the few CPR scenarios where early ventilation may be more important than early chest compressions. Follow medical direction and local guidelines to be sure.
The literature I’ve read all talks about Boson stars as extremely dense objects, comparable to neutron stars.
The term classifies a different type of characteristic of the learning trajectory, so just using 'learning' would be missing that distinction. There needs to be a separate term for 'long stretch of epochs for which there is a large, almost perfect, separation between train and test accuracy' ... and I would hate to write that over and over again, so there's a single term for it.
In some respects, it's maybe problematic for causing a namespace conflict for grokking in this sense, vs grokking in the more 'normal, human' sense.

No, checking was done!

"Oops, I'd better remove that comma".
That is what they are. If a non compete contract has no monetary consideration, it is virtually unenforceable. Our business law professor in college told us very clearly to simply ignore any non compete and she was general counsel at several major firms. No one is going to waste their time on enforcement. It's all about making the employees scared witless.
That is even worse. It only shows that the so-called Rust community and the project is still infantile and full of evangelists as well as the Foundation's interest is focused on corporate interests in general regardless.
but also, some languages really overlap directly, like elixir and ruby, or C and java and javascript.
so maybe is not "zero sum" between every langauge

and even more so for beginners, most languages only show their differences at a much deeper level.
> malloc(1213486160) is really malloc(0x48545450) is really malloc("HTTP")

No it's not / that's not how C works. malloc("HTTP") is malloc of the address of a string literal in memory. If "HTTP" is at address 0x11223344 then it's malloc(0x11223344).

So it's the address of where ever the "HTTP" string is in the binary not the characters themselves.

It's kind of a weird way to say that you can convert decimal to hexadecimal in your head. I also wouldn't use malloc as the example to demonstrate that talent, it makes no sense that way.

Perhaps becoming a systems engineer should involve learning C first... Don't always trust what you read.
I'll share my strange story with The Stranger. 10 years ago I suffered from anxiety, lack of sleep and high blood pressure.

I'd been given small pink pills. Took them as prescribed. My condition didn't really change.

Then I turned to reading. After a couple of other books, I found this list [1]. I read The Stranger. I've felt sudden ease of my anxiety, I was at peace.

Two weeks after The Stranger, I read Siddhartha. Soon, my sleep turned back to normal.

I'm not praising these books, neither I'm suggesting avoiding medical advice. I'm just still excited how reading can affect someone's well-being.

What does this mean for the AI race? For example what if a newish company (newer than Google/Facebook/Microsoft/etc.) like Anthropic, Scale, Perplexity, or Stability is able to scrape together $5B USD funding and spend their hardware budget on these things. Say that can buy $1B of them and spend the rest on hackers and operating expenses (idk if that's realistic). So maybe they could purchase and operate like 20 of them. Say that they spend six months doing experimental things and then the next six months training their Tsar Model. If they follow the Chinchilla scaling laws and normal architectures, how good will these models be?
