It is worth doing some ML courses to understand what is going on.

I am beginning this journey, and it takes a lot of the magic out of it.

Really what is happening is just mathematical operations: a lot of matrix multiplications, some simple non-linear functions (because linear algebra alone cannot represent all logic), some statistical stuff to stop the numbers getting out of control.

Importantly there are millions or billions of "magic numbers" that get updated as the model learns called parameters.

Whether you train the network on representation A of the image, or representation B of the image, doesn't change much philosophically. It is just a function f(x) applied before the function g(x, parameters), so you get g(f(X), parameters).

Now you could argue, well it might mean "something". After all you can reduce our brains to being a big mathematical functions.

Possibly.

But I think in this case it is too simple. The AI is just looking at a slightly different representation. Similar to changing VS code from/to dark mode for humans, or something like that. And the modellers might be changing representations all the time anyway as they tinker with things.
While OP could have worded their comment better, this is exactly the kind of thing that Swartz explicitly aligned himself against. [1]

It would be incredibly surprising for Swartz to have supported the kind of bait-and-switch tactics Reddit is employing here.

Straw man, no where did I say that I am against the release of this paper. All I said that was that I don't understand how Google benefits, and I selfishly claimed that more of us could benefit if they created a product. The paper by itself is clearly a gift. I think ultimately it hurts Google to showcase research without product development -- and I also believe the trained model is squandered. If they aren't going to productize it, then they should leak or open source it in a LLaMA fashion. Why the waste? If this was truly a beneficent act somehow despite the weights being locked up in their cloud, where is the carbon footprint data for the training? StabilityAI reports such information for their model releases.
> They’re the fifth largest global economy

Were there perhaps reasons why California was (at least for now) the fifth largest global economy? And could that be partially related to this particular story?

I for one encourage California to file suit on all of its industries, as its "fifth largest economy" status is immutable and unrelated to all icky things involving the physical world. File suits against oil and gas, agriculture, the defense sector and aerospace, manufacturing, and imports. Make real estate unrealistically expensive and provide all physical storefronts with sufficiently prohibitive regulations to show them just who is boss in this new ethereal, software-and-services only economy.

The fifth largest economy can surely do that. That will teach them a lesson.
I'm saying I can't be sure if me measuring distances in Google Maps is accurate to within 5%.

City of Los Angeles includes the port area near Long Beach, and the 110 freeway corridor leading there. Yes, it's a really weird shape.

That’s the idea GM had way back in 1958: https://youtu.be/cPOmuvFostY. Basically ATC for a high speed self driving lane.
That's a lot of work to fill the tub and load the ice. Cold shower is easy and good enough.
A majority of the use cases for self-driving cars are either solvable, or already solved, by some combination of better urban planning (i.e. zoning and probably large-scale regulatory reform), public transit (specifically useful public transit), and public investment. Unfortunately, in the United States, we are unable to do even one of these things sufficiently well, hence the need for self-driving cars (or, in some cases, some other technological solution; e.g. hyperloop).
The P(Y) and M encryption are always turned on, those are the military signals. SA can’t be turned back on, most of the satellites don’t support it.

Also, it would be disaster to lose GPS accuracy worldwide since so many users depend on it. It would also be pointless because there are other constellations like Galileo and GLOSNAS. Plus, multiband receivers are getting more common to support the new L5 signal.

GPS jamming and spoofing are more useful because they can be targeted to area. As is happening in Ukraine.
Need a lot of ice, for one
I would recommend windows terminal and the builtin windows openssh over putty these days if you must use windows.

Anecdotally, a lot of the more senior windows admins at my work are still using putty and they do not seem interested one bit in switching. So putty definitely has some die-hard fans.
Were you limited by GPU capacity, would you intentionally downplay the potential benefit to further scaling the model so as to discourage competitors (e.g., Google) who would be less GPU-limited from pursuing such a direction themselves?

I don't necessarily think this is the case, but it occurs to me that were there any practical impediment (however emphemeral) to them commercially exploiting a larger scale model, they'd likely adopt a posture of dismissing further scaling until they were ready.
That’s a lot of word diarrhea to say that it being on the front page is not representative of anything and that you have the secret actual guide to HN ideologies.

Pray tell, what is your source for the boogeyman you are attacking since it’s not what is popular?
Like many of us I’ve been using Reddit for a very long time (over 10 years) and am saddened by how much worse it’s got since the beginning. I also think they’ve greatly enshittified their default clients to push people to worse clients and hate that - they could have just given people a reason to want to use the new clients.

But I have an unpopular opinion: it’s totally ok, and I mean morally ok, for Reddit to charge for API access to this extent. 3rd party app usage incurs direct operational costs on Reddit, requires them to support an API with clients outside their control (and further, if a client uses the API inefficiently, Reddit has a lot more overhead in working to reduce that), and prevents supporting those efforts through advertising monetization. The actual API cost is not wholly unreasonable. Reddit shouldn’t be expected to work for free.

That is not to excuse all the other terrible dark patterns they’ve implemented. This wouldn’t even really be a problem at all if they had incentivized their own clients by making them better, what with all the funding and employees they have, and the ability to make backend changes to accommodate client changes. They’ve been using entirely “stick” tactics to encourage their crap clients instead of “carrot”. Even for people like me who don’t want to use the app at all, if they hadn’t made the default mobile web client (which I still use) so annoying and restrictive, probably Apollo would have much fewer users.

Basically, this is only a problem because they have given users no reason to use their official clients besides artificial annoyances

Humans use a lot of reasoning though. I once saw a guy approaching an intersection where he had the red light and from far away I could see he was jamming out to the music and in his own world. I didn’t go on green (getting honked at by the guy behind me) and watched while the guy blew straight though the red light and slammed on the brakes when he was almost fully through it.

The industries you mention aren’t going to leave California with enormous liabilities such that the wells that will require remediation enumerated in this report will.

Absolutely, drive businesses dumping externalities on the state taxpayers out. There is no reason to keep them if it’s a net negative to the tune of $21B. You’re stealing from taxpayers for shareholder profits otherwise.
The container wasn't launched inside deleteme_after_202202 it just kept working after somebody did the equivalent of:

You could always email the company, or just validate the email, reset the password and delete the account.

The latter is risky though; some sites use email validation as proof they should attest to the real world identity of the person that owns the account. (Github is one such example).

I imagine some site does that and also does not ensure that access to the email address is enough to reset the password and 2FA setup. (Come to think of it, Github is also an example of this.)

Either way, common courtesy would dictate waiting a week or so between emailing and nuking the account.
I think the confusion between our points is that the GP was referring to the “govt” and not “CFPB”. The govt is a bigger umbrella that contains regulators, but that isn’t mutually exclusive with pointing out the CFPB can’t regulate.

Beyond that, the govt is a service organization. Those services run the gamut from physical security, to regulation, to providing information.
If you want to do it right, you probably want to take their figure and double it.

The gov will likely let them skate by though so yeah it'll cost them a buck fifty or something.
Canadian fires intensified by record heat
I would like to see such a system installed at a high volume intersection. When the light turns green the system instructs all the cars lined up to accelerate simultaneously. The motivation isn’t necessarily practicality, just pure entertainment value.
Cash is not king. If you're in the US and you're paying without using a credit card you're effectively losing thousands of dollars more than those that do. You can disagree that credit cards should have the ability to pay users cash back or offer travel rewards, but you are losing money by using cash.
The obesity deaths are comorbidity, which is… not to say that obesity killed them, but that it may have been a factor. E.g. obese 55 year olds that have a heart attack are in there, even though it is entirely possible for non-obese individuals to have heart attacks at young ages.

Guns… most of those are suicides, and that stat is uniquely American in terms of developed countries.

Opioids… also almost entirely self-inflicted (not willingly, but getting flattened by a bus is different than getting accidentally hooked)

Car stats also don’t count the incredible number of people who have lifelong or major injuries due to cars, which I would imagine is much higher. I feel pretty comfortable saying that a majority of people I know have been injured by cars, something that isn’t true for opioids or guns.
If you're measuring a human in front a screen with their finger on a button, and the human is young, healthy, and fully alert, then you get 0.2s. Some electronic safety systems[0] can indeed physically respond in µs. Some robotics might have lag due to mechanical slack or software/processing limitations, but that can always be improved.

Whereas humans are never going to do better than 0.2s and will usually do much worse, especially if they have to turn their head, focus their eyes, and manipulate physical controls.

What does "started driving when agriculture was invented" even mean?
I would feel similarly if Reddit did not force you to log in to get non-shitty UX on those clients. I’m not even against ads necessarily, I just don’t want all my viewing habits to be tracked. It shouldn’t even be necessary to run relevant ads as they can simply be served based on the page/subreddit content. And given that Reddit seems to be generally bad at engineering I don’t trust them with any more data than they need
Wow that's interesting. Any similar ones in the US?
For all they know their next version of chatGPT already scraped the said article form its website before removal and internalized the content :)
We don't. 42K people are killed in the US every year in automobile accidents. Yet humans are allowed to keep driving and killing people despite their massive flaws.
"near field speaker" is a marketing term that has no meaning.
Seizing wells using eminent domain would be extremely expensive because the state would have to compensate owners at the current fair market value.
Which is why we shouldn’t be replacing human vision with inferior versions done in software.
Having a bucket of paid time off that covers anything is much better than having a separate sick/vacation bucket. You don’t have to worry about doctor’s notes
This was covered in a recent Plain English podcast: https://www.theringer.com/2023/4/4/23668556/myth-busting-wel...

The evidence for the health benefits is extremely weak. It can help accelerate “recovery” from exercise, but at a cost of diminishing the benefits of the exercise in the first place. Your body gets sore when you workout for a reason. The only reason you’d want to stop that process is you’re in a multi day competition, which you’re not.
The author was careful to note that the water is "circulating at 1,400 gallons a minute". I suppose that if you used still water instead, your body heat might warm up the water next to your skin a tiny bit...but I have a hard time believing that it would make any difference.
> Elon and Andrej Karpathy argued that since humans can drive using just vision

Which is insipid because humans do not use just vision when driving. We use hearing, touch, and proprioception extensively when driving.
Why would fewer deaths be impossible to quantify? Insurers already lower your premiums if your car has modern safety features, like automatic emergency braking.
I'd posit that if we replaced human drivers with Tesla's FSD (never mind Waymo tech) today, we'd save lives on the net. We just accept that getting T-boned by a texting driver is "an accident" and those "just happen", whereas getting hit by a self-driving car is "omgwtfbbq those self-driving cars can't be trusted", so standards for self driving cars are unnecessarily higher. (Just imagine the median driver; by definition 50% of drivers are worse.)
I thought parking sensors used ultrasonic. Wouldn’t that make them sonar?
It’ll enable people who cannot drive, such as children and the elderly, to drive.

Accordingly this is going to significantly increase the amount of cars on the road which will make traffic miserable.
Is data compression really a problem? Compression algorithms are meticulously tuned to preserve important details. In theory, a model that operates on compressed data has a real advantage over one that operates on raw data. You’ve reduced the memory requirements without sacrificing any important features of the input data.
How does he do martial arts and squats without legs?
Yet that is what humans are allowed to do every day and kill people.
> Never trust a 3rd party to do your crypto.

This strikes me as funny because software engineers are regularly told not to roll their own crypto.
That’s called a streetcar normally.
But can't the computer boot from usb? Then you could just modify the display memory.
The challenge would be figuring out what the display memory is, you'd need a strong knowledge of display standards.
Everyone knows that turbo is less accurate.
That's not what's meant by 'conflict misses', no. The issue is that, with pot, the hottest elements (logically the ones which represent the highest nodes in the tree) will be spaced at pot intervals. If the array is large, that means their addresses will differ only in the high bits; in the case of the higher-level caches, then, they'll map to the same cache set and kick each other out, even though the cache as a whole has enough capacity to fit them all.

> and not "an AI"

But what is AI? If it's just "artificial intelligence", it effectively includes all programming with if/then logic gates based on program input.
There are reports from Ukraine of guided shells not working when GPS is jammed. I thought that most guided munitions have inertial guidance and GPS was to improve accuracy but maybe that doesn’t fit in artillery shell. I was reading that with MLRS that the launch location can be entered manually.
As journalists go, Propublica (and their data science team) is the gold standard for verifying such things before going to press.
Telnet support for PTT has already been deprecated for security reason so I am not sure PTT still count as a telnet-based BBS. Only ssh and websocket is supported nowadays.
I think we'll gave to agree to disagree there. In my understanding socialism and communism are two very different animals.

Communism is about the absolute equality of all - no rich, no poor. Socialism is about caring for the poor, with no upper bound on the rich.

In other words one squeezes from the top down. The other pushes from the bottom up.
I'm pretty sure these are different uses of the word crypto.
The US is functionally ungovernable due to its political structure, so the federal government can’t really just “do things” that are that ambitious, even if they make sense. If something like that happened at all it would probably be in China.
Does fair market value include future remediation costs? And if not, perhaps policy should specify that it does.

If the well has zero FMV (future revenue minus remediation costs is negative), there is nothing to compensate the owner for. The state is simply saying, “you may no longer extract what you can’t afford to wind down in an orderly fashion.” The well is already worthless.

Allow them to keep the well if they put up a sufficient bond to cleanup in the future, using reasonable future well closure and cleanup costs. They will be unwilling to if cleanup costs > remaining extraction value (assuming economically rational actor).

I base my opinon on the following:

1) Gain of function research was being done in China by Ecohealth Alliance, funded under a program headed by Fauci. The most logical motivation for this is bioweapon research. Testimony to this fact was solicited by Rand Paul in congress. Covid was made in a lab.

2) The US did send Al Qaeda prisoners to Black sites in Eastern Europe for enhanced interrogation (torture).
This establishes a previous willingness to skirt international rules.

3) Given the geopolitical situation, I do think that the government in Ukraine would do almost anything the West asked of them.
Why should society pay for your business risk when you get all of the upside?

And there is already unemployment insurance. Whether it is enough and the fact that it doesn’t cover contract workers is a different issue.
If legislation applied the externalities properly, the FMV would be much lower, or if you believe the article, maybe negative.
I have no problem allowing it on the road. I do have a problem calling something that does not drive itself “self driving”. Much less FULL self driving.

Although, I guess my bigger issue is actually with the government that takes no action about false advertising.
Your writing is way too verbose.
That doesn't nullify their argument, though. If Lidar were free, it doesn't mean you need to have Lidar to achieve the same level of performance as humans, and having Lidar doesn't mean the data is so clean that the decision-making aspect of self-driving becomes solvable in a weekend.
Exactly.

I have learned that there is no point trying to tell a Tesla fanboy what the problem is. They will not listen. In the nytimes article, a guy bought another Tesla right after the previous one was totalled because of an FSD error.

The thing I have been telling myself is that fortunately I am not risking my own life for that.
The Biden administration have just changed the rules about environmental assessments to include all future costs. It's a _big_ win.

I'm sure there is a better source, but this covers it https://www.brookings.edu/research/overview-and-analysis-of-...
Is this true though? Earlier today mine picked up on emergency lights that were several hundred feet further away in traffic than I would have seen them. It seems able to enhance the images the cameras capture.
Same. It is the reason I took all my lawn mower money and bought a Commodore 64. I believe the movie graphics were done with a Commodore PET. Things went from peaking/poking from magazines, picked up a tape drive to start keeping things... to a 300 baud modem and eventually a 5.25" floppy. What glorious days.
"Considered" by whom? And who has that honor now, to the best of your knowledge? Does it seem a bit juvenile to imagine artists ranked on a linear scale of "greatness?" Like teenagers arguing about the "greatest" rock drummer or "greatest" car?

No one serious about music would attempt to compare Beethoven to Bach, or Mozart to Verdi, or try to establish a ranking that includes Wagner and Williams.
The pe ratio will increase.

That's why the digital markets act will be devastating when it will apply to social media apps, the first target is chat apps, next social media platforms.
Ahh I see. Bummer.
> Indeed, and that's why you let the student write it for you

Hmmm and I wonder which tool the student will use to write the letter?

I agree - generating letters written by nobody for nobody to read and whose contents vaguely align with the truth is the sort of box ticking exercise that humans should get looped out of and that the current iteration of AI seems perfectly suited to.

Or we could just cut out the middleman and give people a generic "I recommend this person" button.
Finally, someone gets it.

GPS is, at this point, a public good. Almost everyone uses it, and it’s central to current technology. It seems clear to me, at least, that it should be funded through general taxation, not some kind of user fee.
I too had dreams of an all solar future, until recently when my bms had failed, I temporarily removed it so I could still have power to my well... Fast forward a few weeks and we had a frost. About $2k worth of Prismatic cells are now swelling and probably at 20% the original capacity. Ughh. I still want to do solar, but it's expensive, unreliable and... Maybe kinda dangerous if you're doing not so kosher things.
Yeah, yeah, we know it is all matrices and numbers. But the Apple group seems to be asserting that there is a difference,

> We also demonstrate ByteFormer's ability to perform inference with a hypothetical privacy-preserving camera which avoids forming full images by consistently masking 90% of pixel channels, while still achieving 71.35% accuracy on ImageNet.

So the way this algorithm smooshes the matrices is "privacy-preserving" because it doesn't actually take in all the bytes. Just some of them. So it is not an invasion of your privacy, if your phone checks all your stored photos for child pornography, because it never actually _looks_ at the images. It just _peeks_ at a bit of them.
It's obvious that they're talking about the input ("sensors") humans use and not presenting an exhaustive list of the things required to drive.
