It certainly isn't a secret in the sense that they didn't want you to know about this feature, but it is a de facto secret in that you can find people who have been programming in Go for year who don't realize they exist. In addition to the other replies you can already find in this HN discussion mentioning that, I can attest to the fact that I've personally introduced them to multi-year programmers in Go as well.

I hypothesize that a very simple and easy-to-make mistake created this situation, and it is as simple as this: Godoc collapses the examples. Behind undistinguished links. Look at the current rendering for the documentation for net/http, the core HTTP package: https://pkg.go.dev/net/http Your challenge is to scroll through the package with the scrollbar, looking for the Examples.

Of course, if enough people try this, some will find them quickly. Someone will simply jerk their mouse and scroll right to it in a quarter of a second, of course. But in general, they're not easy to find, even when I'm telling you to look for them. If you don't even know they are there they are super easy to miss. The main listing for the examples is between the Index and the Constants. In the left section breakdown, they don't get their own top-level section but are instead by default buried unexpanded below Index, where I would personally assert they don't belong. Even if you scroll to the documentation for a specific function that includes an example, such as Hijacker: https://pkg.go.dev/net/http#Hijacker , I think it's very easy to be scanning through and miss the little Example link in all the noise. And again, in this context I'm calling your attention to it; in normal circumstances I think link blindness kicks in and people can read these docs for years without catching them.

And then of course even if you do catch them it's easy to come away thinking it must be something special the standard library can do but you can't, because that is a Go thing, and so few 3rd party packages avail themselves of this. But you can easily do them yourself. It's little more than a slightly specially-formatted test function.

Nope. You can see it in Brave search results. It’s also a massive barrier for a small start-up to index the web if it has to expend resourses to download and execute JavaScript. More generally, there’s also web scrapers (the good kind), TUI browsers, old hardware that shouldn’t be obsolesced just because of “browser target = current browsers only” (with this being more important for informational type websites rather than web applications which could just have a small blurb about what the site is/does tagged with its “Enable JS for X-App”).
Compared to other mitigation providers there were very few filters, and when you were under attack it just seemed to throttle your whole connection to as low as 50Kbps, meaning players would disconnect.
It’s almost impossible to supervise something more intelligent than you because you can’t tell why it’s doing things. For now it’s easy to supervise them because AIs are way less intelligent than humans (though even now it’s hard to tell exactly why they’re doing things), but in the future it probably won’t be

Friendly people.

I've received emails like that too over the years. What hugely controversial thing do I do? I have a website where I sometimes write about $stuff and I post on HN. Keeping the basic info private is probably a good thing especially if they're based in the US, because "SWATting" etc, but beyond that it doesn't seem "credible" in the sense that it's very likely someone will show up at their door with a gun.

Since the first two are redacted, I wonder if they sent them with their real names.
Depending on language there are ton of style choices. There’s style guides as examples of trivial.

Non trivial include names, comments, logging, error checking, structure, ordering of operations that aren’t sequential.

It's more of an HN replacement (or addition) where you can get pretty detailed posts and comments without jokes and memes. It's like if HN added subs for games, hobbies, etc.

>Actually working Linux on real hardware is far more important than purity IMO.

I agree, but I also think this depends heavily on who you ask. Stallman for example would rather have poorer functionality than compromise his personal (extremist) ethical principles.

There are a lot of folks who use laptops without wifi because the blobs are non free, so they're using ancient ThinkPads plugged into Ethernet.

Much depends on your personal computing needs.

Zig Dangling Pointers and Segfaults
While I'm glad to see proprietary firmware both included and segregated in its own repo, I'm wondering why RISC-V wasn't added as a supported architecture in Debian 12? It seems like that supporting at least an open ISA would move closer to the possibility of what Debian wants to see happen... so why isn't it as a distro helping to make it happen?
> ...being a middle-man just skims off the top of things that are already happening.

Presumably you buy all your goods directly from growers / manufacturers, rather than using retailers who are simply there to skim off the top?

You're confusing the effects of the industry with the effects of incompetent actors within that industry. Besides, the negative externalities are trivial. Institutional holders barely notice or care about flash crashes.

This one happened in Mission District, which is an iconic and one of the somewhat central areas in SF, often frequented by lots of HN userbase living and working in SF.

The difference in this one "having anything particularly special" is kind of like, a random shooting in some less populated state in a suburb most people haven't ever heard of vs. a shooting in Times Squate.

Except one is actually science, whereas the other is political philosophy which pretends to be science in order to justify its perspective. Studying theology isn't necessary to be able to criticize religion. It can ne useful if you want to give theoligical criticism of religion but that's it.

Ans I say that as someone who's spent 5 Yeats studying economics for the exact reason you mention. It turns out it's ideology all the way down…

And the author is also very familiar with econ 101, he's just not reusing these concepts from the canon, because in fact they're mostly ideological ans not very helpful to understand the real world.

You’re right, their older cars don’t have their most advanced system. When I said “on the market” I mean the cars they are selling now, not historically.

I’ve found the system extremely adept at gaze tracking and alerting. The cabin camera is infrared in their latest models (at least for the last 2 years).

Please don’t call me a liar. I am happy to be called wrong and corrected.

I should have said “one of the most advanced” because this is in truth a subjective measure and I don’t think agencies like NHTSA rank and qualify attention tracking?
Yes, that much I do understand. I'm just confused why that is important when predicting the next token? What about the calculation requires that you keep track of really big numbers (and don't overflow) and requires that you have very precise numbers (and don't truncate the precision)?

Ahhaha, Intel's TDP is 2-4 times bigger under full load (and I guess ~10-15x under moderate load) while having negligible perf advantage over M2. The author can not be serious.
Hour and a half is no biggie? Is that one way?

That sucks more than having a car does by far. Even the last part about "your arms ache but you get used to it" - how is that for disabled people? How is it for the elderly? An extra hour and a half - what about if you have kids at home?

Honestly that... Blows?

If the options are to destroy the environment or to have to take an extra three hours daily to commute, I choose destroy the environment - smart people will probably fix it with science.

I thought about it - why would I rather destroy the environment than reduce cars? Because it's a lie - there's clearly no shared burden. Like as soon as humanity bans all privat jets, the entire cruise industry, etc, then maybe I'd consider it. But as it is, it's just one more "eh the poors will get used to it" - meanwhile we don't ban major contributions from sources that are rich people's enjoyment or profits.
Sorry if it seemed too bold. It’s obviously not common knowledge yet in this stage of the Collapse.
Netflix has 74.4 million subscribers in the US and Canada. In q1, they added net 100k subscribers or about 1100/day. With some algebra, we can deduce that cancellations increased 60% in this time period. However, we can't calculate the net subscription rate in this period without knowing the sign up or cancellation rates.

If we guess that there were twice as many new subscriptions as cancellations (i.e. 1100 cancellations/day, 2200 sign ups/day), the we can estimate the new rates were 4400 sign ups/day and 1760 cancellations/day or 2640 net subscriptions/day, which would be a 140% increase in net subscribers/day.

If we guess 20% more sign ups than cancelations (6600 sign ups, 5500 cancellations), then we can estimate the new rates were 13200 sign ups/day and 8800 cancels/day, or 4400 net subscriptions/day (300% increase).

There is no way this is sustained though. Even in the extreme case that every subscription was shared and causes 1 additional sub, that can at most double subscriptions, and that's not at all likely. If this follows patterns of other similar events like game launches, there will be an exponential decay of some kind back to a mean rate.

I expect a bump at first, but I think this will encourage churning your Netflix so you only subscribe a few months of the year instead of sharing with a group the whole year.
Isn’t that only working until all regular gpus catch up?
Isn't "meaning" just how a word is used within a specific context? I think that was one of Wittgenstein's points. The word "dog" doesn't need to reference the underlying reality to have meaning. Its meaning emerges from its usage in relation to all other words. Language isn't a mirror of the external world, which is probably one of the reasons LLMs are so successful.

Well, for example empty ones are really unlikely to be.

Misleading headline based on this quote: “At aggregation sites, water users were found in proximity to sharks 97% of the days surveyed”

(An aggregation site means a place where lots of sharks cluster.)

So what it means is a shark is seen near a human just under once a day. Possibly per area, or more likely across all the areas they surveyed, because why not inflate the stats to the max.

Most won't know it's posted, or won't see until after it no longer matters. "Don't editorialize" is the simplest and surest way to respect the original author.

"Don't editorialize titles unless the original title is very nondescript or clickbait-y" is not a controversial HN policy.

This and the introduction of the new slower less expandable - at least with respect to GPUs and memory - is indicative that it was a mistake for Apple to completely transition to ARM and should have kept high end options on Intel until they had a better GPU story to tell.

They already had the Mac Studio, they could have kept the Mac Pro on Intel.

I see this old-package argument over and over again and I think it is inaccurate, considering that an estimated 95% of Ubuntu users use the LTS version, the below table demonstrates that Debian 12 (stable) packages are newer than those of of Ubuntu 22.04.

Can you explain in what way Palantir is a criminal organization?
The theories all inevitably rely on assumptions that are essentially the equivalence of spherical cows in a frictionless universe.

All evidence is that costs for intelligence likely scale superlinearly. Each increase in intelligence capability requires substantially more resources (Computing power, training data, electricity, hardware, time, etc). Being smart doesn’t just directly result in these becoming available with no limit. Any significant attempts to increase the availability of these to a level that mattered would almost certainly draw attention.

In addition, even for current AI we don’t even fully understand what we are doing, even though they are operating at a lower generalized intelligence level than us. Since we don’t have a solid foundational model for truly understanding intelligence, progress relies heavily on experimentation to see what works. (Side note: my gut is that we will find there’s some sort of equivalent to the halting problem when it comes to understanding intelligence) It’s extremely likely that this remains true, even for artificial intelligence. In order for an AI to improve upon itself, it would likely also need to do significant experimentation, with diminishing returns and exponentially increasing costs for each level of improvement it achieves.

In addition, a goal-oriented generalized AI would have the same problems that you worry about. In trying to build a superior intelligence to itself it risks building something that undermines its own goals. This increases the probability of either us, or a goal-aligned AI, noticing and being able to stop things from escalating. It also means that a super intelligent AI has disincentives to build better AIs.
"Factual based on data," lol. You realize you are in a discussion of an article about Nazis generating specifically Nazi content, right?

Of course you do. You and your fellow cohort that use "wokist" as pejorative.
To use your example: I think you'd be correct for the superficial beginning of the conversation.

But this is no different than saying "Metallica fans from ...", or "NASCAR fans from ...". Politics is no longer about what people think. It's a nationalized polemic sport. There are two teams, and an irrelevant number of pretenders.

But if you ever got past the "what you think you think" and into the "why you think the things you think", or "how do you live that expresses the way you think" ... the variations would start to come out.

This is the best post I've found that actually describes what it's like to run a HFT firm / desk. Probably best article ever written about HFT.

For me HFT is the most interesting job one can have and it requires you to be good at a variety of things to make money: low level tech, quant modeling, risk management, business sense so you can cut good deals, etc.

Unfortunate the industry is unfairly maligned by people who really don't know what they're talking about (like Michael Lewis in Flash Boys). It's cheaper to trade now (especially for retail) than it ever has been in history and the positive effect this has had on the capital markets and the economy in general cannot be understated.
You are living proof that propaganda works. Thanks for confirming.
Are any of these anti-pattern specific to onboarding ?

Even if you're in the company for 3 years, having no clear view of what you're supposed to do, where to get the info for your following projects, and be fed philosophical BS instead of actual information doesn't look like a great situation for anyone expecting guidance.

If you feel you can figure all of the above on your own, onboarding could probably go the same route to get you warmed up.
Direct social interaction while wearing things on one’s face will become second nature as quickly as interactions while wearing AirPods (or a Covid mask).

This is better than a Covid mask in that even Version 1 lets people see “behind the mask”, kind of. By version 14 it’ll be so completely natural that it won’t occur to anybody on HN to even comment on this aspect of it.

> In one, everytime someone publishes code with a license attached, they've taken a chunk out of the set of valid lines of software capable of being permissibly written without license encumberance.

If this were true of copyright, we would’ve run out of permissible novels a long time ago. There’s plenty to complain about with how software IP works, but copyright seems pretty sane. The alternative of protecting IP via trade secret is not a world I want to live in. That seems bad for open source.
I interpreted that statement as saying the current practice is to make LLMs larger and larger (so they effectively memorize more and more data) to make them more powerful, but from the perspective of information theory, if models were powerful and "understanding", then models could stay the same size and become more and more powerful as they get increasingly better at compressing the available information. I am not sure if this interpretation was what was meant though.

Suppose the germans just forced the local french fisherman at gunpoint to take them over. Would the royal navy lay waste to thousands of french fisherman in the same seas as thousands of british fisherman loaded with their soldiers? I’m surprised the germans also didn’t just lay waste to them at dunkirk with indirect fire.
In the wild, people tend to use GTPQ quantization for pure GPU inference: https://github.com/PanQiWei/AutoGPTQ

And ggml's quant for CPU inference with some offload, which just got updated to a more GPTQ-like method days ago: https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/1684

Some other runtimes like Apache TVM also have their own quant implementations: https://github.com/mlc-ai/mlc-llm

> that consumes massively more wattage

power consumption doesn't scale linearly with performances

the absolute best of class NVIDIA discrete GPU offering could possibly outperform the Apple GPU at the same power level

Or, to put it in another way, to recover that remaining 50% of performances (2x) the increase in power consumption would be exponential (a lot more than 2x, like 10x)
As a sibling comment notes, one important aspect is whether the copied portion is something copyrightable in the first place. In particular, whether it exceeds the threshold of originality [0], which at least in the US requires "some minimal degree of creativity". It’s rather unlikely for "half a dozen bytes" to meet that criterion.

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threshold_of_originality
I believe the parent poster's point is: LLMs are more effective when they use more memory, meaning the less they are forced to compress the training data, the better they perform.
Why is a contrarian biased substack writer so often in front page. His opinion is literally that AI is snake oil. Populist.
Middle men provide real value, that's why you buy almost all of your stuff thru them.
Where are the performance per watt numbers?

Anyone can get the performance crown by having an unlimited energy budget. Performance per watt is much more valuable in data centers (TCO) and consumer devices (battery life).
