In the exact same way that blockchain does - you present a token that can be validated by your peers.

However, in blockchain it's the combo of your private key to sign your wallet, along with the consensus engine where decentralized voting decides to accept the generation and association of new tokens.

In centralized servers, it's the combo of your credentials to login, along with the servers that update the database.

Once you own a token, you can create signatures for it that other peers can validate. For example

Its getting worse and worse. The gap between GPT-4 and GPT-3.5 is becoming narrower. This is making me reconsider if OpenAI paid plan is worth paying for.
If you have state that changes too quickly (like the value of an input field), then you can use `useDebounce` to derive a state that only changes every `n` milliseconds.

Hieroglyphs or not, with some human cleverness you can achieve pretty amazing performance.

It's not that bad if you just study it a bit and put your mind into it. Just a sequence of relatively simple operations (+ masking when you need a partial operation), data shuffling, loads and stores.

Unfortunately to extract all of that performance, you do need to know your target architecture, be it SSE, AVX2/512, NEON, SVE or whatever.

You might also need to know some architectural details, like register renaming, out of order execution, branch prediction, load/store buffers, automatic prefetching, cache architecture, sometimes even details like CPU internal ring bus. That's just how it is when you want to extract the last drop of performance.

Sometimes compilers can be pretty great, just not always. Unfortunately sometimes beautifully autovectorized code just stops being so due to some small change in code somewhere.

Luckily most of us don't need to care. Most people can just use optimized libraries instead.
I'm surprised this is the only comment that critizies the fact that now the brush head contains not just plastic but also a microchip. That can't be good for recycling. Not to mention the wasted resources during production of the chip.

I'm not sure what this phrase means, can you explain?

Given the demos in the thread, I'm seeing a lot of 'production line' graphics being done a lot faster and easier with this feature. I'm not seeing a problem, but I'll eat my words if this will backfire like you said.

(I won't eat shoes or anything though, I'm not that confident!)
I’m interested in how you ensure there’s no manipulation. Especially as verifying accounts is not mandatory. Can you explain in technical detail how that works?

I expect that bad actors will manipulate systems like this. They always do if it’s important enough.
I agree to an extent, but you have to at least be aware of the complexity of your algorithms (time and space) and understand the trade offs. If the trade offs change depending on compiler optimisations, then you'll have some difficult debugging on your hands.
The only other equivalent API in broad use today that I'm aware of would be the Kernel32.dll subset of Win32 [1]. Not that it's perfect (so much accumulated cruft) or what I would call modern (still has a lot of ambient authority baked-in) by any means, but the important parts are mostly handle-based (unlike PID-based POSIX process management functions for example).

I happen to like the design of the syscall layer of Fuchsia's Zircon kernel [2], but it's not a full substitute for POSIX (notably, file and network I/O are built as userspace features of top of IPC channels, they are not kernel concepts).

Research [0] suggests that pretraining to uncover sparse subnetworks is faster when using "easy" subsets of the training data. Very small part of the overall picture but I do expect to see more research on data hashing/subsetting/ordering for training optimization in the near future.

You misunderstood what I said. Let me repeat:

> that gives added functionality. Everything is governed by DAO. Interop can be voted in

What I mean by functionality is _actual_ functionality. Like, I earn a shield in one game and now it lets me deflect hits with new animations in another, so the DAO would need to vote in code changes. This is what I meant by interop too.

Not being able to see JPGs that you import across games. Like I said, I built something like that as a weekend project and custom cw721 contracts and unity. It's not hard. It's also not interesting to me.
If it's not possible to be profitable at their original pricepoint then they should add more pricing tiers, not make the good model inacessible.
Unless the cost of generating plummets - and I think we'll see a 10x decrease in that in the coming year or so - it'll probably be a credits system. I think this feature has the potential to quickly become Adobe's primary money maker. I think a lot of companies are suddenly finding themselves in a lot of money with the current hype, e.g. midjourney, openai, etc.
Also, not like we have these "color palette" thingies that we, UI designers, already use to establish branding without affecting usability. We have a lot of UI elements we can change their properties of without directly affecting usability like borders, elevations, distances (while maintaining good contrast and looking out for color blindness too). Design systems exist for a reason. Heck, every SaaS and product already has a sales page for marketing content that is entirely designed to drive sales, no need to introduce dark patterns (or invent new crazy patterns that solves an already solved problem) in the application. A lot of interaction has already been solved, I don't see why can't we automate the whole UI process with a given opinionated design system.
If you have to worry about prompting, it already tells you everything one needs to know about how good the model is.

The most effective method I've found has been to start using a Google service and wait for it to be sunset.

Other than that: yeah, I've generated and set some very long (40-80+ chars) passwords which I've promptly deleted from my own records on occasion. I don't think I've swapped out email addresses though that's an option. I could see that resulting in an account being hijacked though, depending on how email addresses are handled in the account-recovery flow.

It's good for benchmarks. This is sponsored by Intel so that benchmarks will show x86_64 running faster than arm64 and you should not switch.
A friend of mine that grew up in northern New Hampshire was taught that breaking when about to hit a moose was deadly for precisely this reason. He said to speed up and try to make to the opposite side of the moose so the body didn't land on you.

I have no idea if this is really good advice or widely shared. I hope I never have to make that split second decision.

I was in my mid-30s the first time I saw a moose up close. It almost caused an accident between me and a logging truck. It was massive to the point of absurdity. If you've never seen one it's difficult to imagine how big they are.
Nearly always, but when they do hit it has some serious momentum. I was witness to the aftermath a pretty bad accident on the road between Barrie and Sudbury where a moose ran into a truck on the side. The truck overturned due to the impact, the moose (incredibly) ran on but probably died somewhere in the forest from its injuries.

I also came across a moose running across the road that cut through a forest and it never slowed down, they weave with their heads to keep the antlers from ramming into the trees in a way that is quite amazing. They run through a forest that I couldn't run through without clipping the trees and those animals are easily four times as wide.

Don't mess with moose.
If it really got faster and worse at the same time, the
most likely reason is obvious: They used methods to shrink the model down, in order to lower inference cost. Side effect is higher speed and some loss in quality.
you try driving for 3-4 hours looking at and scrutinizing every upcoming bush along the way. This is the dumbest and rudest take on accidents i've heard here.

There's potentially (low level) fraud involved with people making fake reviews, so you might be able to find a legal avenue to get it looked into.
The folks I know who write rust code haven't mentioned this drama at all. I only dabble in it a little, but I'm guessing 99%+ of rust coders don't care and don't attend conferences anyway. I like reading about the drama, and I was also quite interested in the introspection stuff the talk was going to be about. However, none of this is going to influence my use of Rust going forward. It's just not that important.

It is decent tactic against a breaking enemy. And when your troops keep some cohesion. The risk is, that the enemy doesn't break completely and you find yourself in loose formation, without cover and exposed, facing a tight enemy force.
Yes yes, and the East India Company will reign supreme for all time, Refco is too important to fail, Blockbuster will dominate home entertainment forever, and it’s simply inconceivable that a single trader could bring down Baring Brothers, they’ve been going for centuries!

They are brittle, overburdened by unity of disparity, culturally adrift, and they aren’t taking risks any more. Inertia will keep it all going for a while, but not forever.

Sure, I may be wrong, but I do put my money where my mouth is, and I am right more often than not.
1. My point is that by doing so they are not and have never been as ideologically pure as they and others believe they are. They are taking a pragmatic utilitarian stance instead of one based solely on ethics yet they chastise everyone else for ethical impurity (Stallman always swings around the big word "ethical") for choosing even the least bit of pragmatism. Their stance is fine but their hypocrisy is not.

Stallman is not a software freedom purist nor is he a copyleft purist. He is a GPL purist. Notice how when others created copyleft licenses that are incompatible with the GPL there was much gnashing of teeth. The discussion is never about whether the GPL is compatible with some other copyleft license, it's always about whether any other copyleft license is compatible with the GPL.

2. The popularity of FOSS licences to some degree depends on endorsement by FOSS organisations like FSF and OSI. Custom licences are actively avoided and criticised. The GPL3 does nothing to protect against SaaS because that is not a threat that was envisioned by Stallman at the time. He was more concerned (and rightfully concerned) about Tivo-isation. Tivo-isation is a Right to Repair issue and it is really painful today. But Tivo-isation and SaaS are just different sides of the same coin called erosion of ownership. By failing to more strongly endorse the AGPL and by failing to provide a LAGPL, Stallman and the FSF (Stallman's fanclub) neglected the threat of SaaS. The LAGPL would have probably had more impact than just complaining about SaaS at conferences. Eventually some projects like MongoDB switched to non-FOSS licenses and others like CockroachDB switched to the BSL which eventually reverts to a FOSS licence after a predefined amount of time. For all of these projects the AGPL would have resulted in almost no adoption, but the LAGPL might have been a viable option. The FSF failed at their main job of license stewardship by failing to provide the licences society needed while being one of the two gatekeepers of licence proliferation.

Note, by SaaS I am currently referring to PROVIDER HOSTED SaaS which implies a service provider doing the computing on behalf of the user. SaaS can also be just a licensing model like it is for Photoshop.
The goal might be to normalize weighing all passengers and upcharging by weight. I’m for it.
NVIDIA also depends on not getting the Micron treatment from China. Or even not having China take a particularly hard line on their Micron policy and disallowing NVIDIA to import Micron chips to use in their manufacturing produce for export from China.

But, NVIDIA's heavily exposed to the LLM craze.

The context is people who should know better, whose job it is to put the effort into understanding the tools they are using.

Of course, I think these AI tools should require a basic educational course on their behaviour and operation before they can be used. But marketing nonsense is standard with everything; people have at least some responsibility for self education.
There is now (well, 2020) a Haskell version of this idea (Moore's "Crossing the Chasm") too, as a conference talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNpsgTIpODA
At the moment, for some reason Google seems almost untouchable.

> Is refusing to engage in a conversation censorship or constraint?

If you are choosing to refuse to tell me then it is constraint

But if you are being forced to not tell me by someone else, then it is censorship

So, is GPT free to choose, and it is choosing to not tell the users? Or is OpenAI forcing GPT to not tell the users?
Not only amazing but fun to use. I like the image drop animation
There's no question about it: joking about dongles and forking, *for the innuendo", is immature. It also is unprofessional, and they were having the conversation loudly enough to be heard by women and others nearby.

Yes, there are far worse cases of sexual harassment. Nonetheless, it helps create an environment where people, especially women, understandably feel uncomfortable.

The question then is what to do about it. IMO in the PyCon case, an apology and training would probably have been the best outcome, because losing your job is quite severe.

Of course, if after training a problem is repeated, or if there is just one case of much more overt harassment, then firing is probably the least bad action.

The difficulty with social media is sometimes it is impossible to call out toxic behaviour without there being an overreaction. That's unfortunate, but it doesn't mean toxic behaviour should be unaccountable (or overpunished).
You mean this IntVector[0], which I assume is the Java experimental API anthony88 was referring to, correct? If that operation being missing is a blocker, I feel there may be some middle ground other than implementing the whole thing in C++ (like adding it or fast tracking work on this API)

With the Vector API comming I don't see this PR going through. A light search on the OpenJDK mailing list found no discussion.
Intel has been doing this for a long time. It's a long term strategy just like nvidia helping optimize games.
Why? this is pretty typical of them. They used to ship massive amounts of patches to various projects to make their CPUs look good as part of their Clear Linux project, although that seems to have stalled somewhat.
SIMD is not Intel only. ARM has SIMD support. So does AMD.

Portability is not a problem. The C/C++ compilers have nice wrappers on them to let JVM take advantage of them. And there’s always the non-simd version to fall back to.

JVM is the correct abstraction layer to implement this for portability. Any Java program doing sorting benefited from this on all supported platforms.
I would immediately jump to an AI not being "aligned" by SF techies (or anyone else).

I use it on my iPhone. It has a HN vibe. In a few seconds, no pictures, I get the main headlines. I've also noticed that the folks that write the Teletext headlines do so much more concise. They have limited characters, and need to get the main point across. So it also forces the writers to not add fluff, just get to the core of it.

Just overall, it lets me consume news much faster. No ads. no images, no fluff.
> I don't know why you're getting downvoted.

I didn't, but probably because they may read like they are lecturing Rachel. Which looks bad in itself, but feels extra ridiculous for anyone familiar with Rachel's blog. She pretty much knows how malloc and C work. She probably could write her own malloc without sweating.

Worse still, OP is seems to try to imply that Rachel is trying to lie and brag about some irrelevant gift (decoding hexadecimal in her head) by making up examples. Let's just say that it's not very charitable and it's also against HN guidelines.

OP could just have expressed their surprise and asked for some clarification instead. They are not reading "is really" correctly and not considering that Rachel is taking some shortcuts so the article remains simple and enjoyable to read, as most good writers do, which in the end makes OP's whole comment somewhat moot.

See abbeyj's reply for more context. The full explanation is in Rachel's article abbeyj points to, there's no need to guess.

edit: I had skipped the last line of OP's comment. It's just outright mean. No wonder they are downvoted actually.
Not OP, but in Germany it is quite typical to receive a letter that officially states what were your duties and titles. Some employers expect you send them the previous job letters as a sort of background check.

It is also easy to read between the lines in the letter to see if you did just the minimum or they were really happy with you. The fear of a bad letter can keep people accountable until they leave (best case) or be used as a threat by an unscrupulous employer (worst case).

This affects international jobs a bit less, in my experience.
Kevin Edwards in The Micro User – article series on 6502 (1985)
Outside of mating season and when not appearing threatening typically 'just fine'. With young and whilst in mating season: avoid if you can. Seeing two bull moose crash into each other will give you all kinds of things to think about, such as what would happen to your car if one decided to plow into it. And they don't move slow either, they are very agile, probably much more so than you'd give them credit for if you haven't seen them in action. It's more like swordfighters than sumo wrestlers.
