Code is a more restrictive space than prose. Prose has to be grammatical and meaningful, but code has to compile and efficiently serve a useful specification.

The central idea of programming languages is that the grammar is very restrictive compared to natural languages. It's quite likely that, with the exception of variable names and whitespace, some function you wrote to implement a circular buffer is coincidentally identical to code that exists in Sony's or Lockheed Martin's codebases.

Plus there's the birthday problem -- coincidences can happen way more than you expect. And even with prose, constraints like non-fiction can narrow things down quickly. If everyone on HN had to write a theee-sentence summary of, say, how a bicycle works, there would probably be coincidentally identical summaries.

You can't limit what people want, but you can make them choose other avenues of getting it.

If you charge for transit on news server connections, people will naturally gravitate towards using it for lower size messages, which means they will go to unmetered connections for large downloads. Then not including alt.binaries in our server is less likely to have people looking for and utilizing methods to still get binaries through your service in different ways.

Theres huge differences in outcome based on how you attempt to limit demand. None are perfect, but just opting out of carrying binaries is the equivalent of the drug war, where they make the materials and transfer of them illegal. I'm not even sure how to stretch the metaphor to what I'm talking about, because the national policy on drugs and the drug war seems like a very poor fit.

A good metaphor might be the postal system. The old news system was like if the post office didn't charge per message or weight, just a flat monthly fee. Removing alt.binaries is like the post office then said they don't want you shopping g anything over 50 lbs because it's clogging all the delivery vehicles shipping large things. What I'm proposing is them giving you a total cumulative weight allotment per month you can't go over (or you get charges a lot). Demand will obviously respond to that, and people will opt for other methods to ship heavy things.
Sorry your employer forbids the use of tooling that makes your life better and reduces drudgery. Perhaps you should vote with your feet and find a less Luddite employer.

Does your company allow you to outsource your work to people in a poorer nation for a fraction of the cost that you are paid? Why not? Perhaps you should vote with your feet and find a less Luddite employer.

Not comparable at all. I’m not afraid of AI, thinks it’s a lot of marketting on OpenAIs part, but climate change is a trend not something you don’t see one day and then the next day everything’s different.

Yes, they already had guidelines for photographs. [1]

e.g. "Digital images submitted with a manuscript for review should be minimally processed. A certain degree of image processing is acceptable for publication (and for some experiments, fields and techniques is unavoidable), but the final image must correctly represent the original data and conform to community standards. Editors may use software to screen images for manipulation."

That’s great info and i hadn’t looked to the different versions of current dictionaries. Thanks
The downvotes probably have to do with the fact that:

(1) you lead with a rude and mostly contentless comment, and

(2) your follow-up is merely a dump of Wikipedia quotes, instead of actually summarizing what you’ve been trying to say.
You're doing it too. You're assuming how someone would define a workstation, you're assuming that definition includes it being power hungry.

A workstation can be a single core, 256MB RAM, 1 watt SBC. It can be a 96 core, 2TB RAM, 1 kw beast. It can be anything in between or even outside of that range.

I'm not saying everyone cares about power consumption, but several people here seem to be saying that no one does, and that's simply not true.
I consider price and TDP as the two important variables, for performance, that aren't completely reconcilable. They should be considered separately, and then together for a buying decision for example.

To illustrate and acknowledging that this calculation is more practical than satisfying to mathematicians:

I wouldn't say that a chip that takes half of the power and costs half as much, while performing three times better, than a decade old chip is twelve times better all around. Even though the gains exceed both those indicated by price and watts, taken on their own. It performs roughly six times better per dollar spent and watt consumed, respectively. These performance differences are not reconcilable into a single number that most would quickly understand, but they should be considered together. And this in fact was the specific situation for the processor that I replaced. Not accounting for processing improvements that aren't included in thread processing speed. Try playing 4k video with a decade old processor while monitoring its utilization.

Not to be argumentative as everyone is certainly entitled to their own weighting. I value TDP more than I do dollars spent. Though, both will always be unavoidably important.
Bunker fuel is used because companies basically have to pay to get rid of it. It’s 3.5% sufur for crying out loud.

The idea that the shipping companies would pay for a premium gas like hydrogen is laughable.

Even with bunker fuel, fuel costs make up a large percentage of shipping cost.

There’s no way that’s happening.
I'm a "watch person" and I wear watches 95% for fashion reasons. It's occasionally convenient for actually telling the time when I wear one, but it's not my default action because I only wear one 1/3 of the time when I leave the house and never at home.

I have no interest in wearing a smart watch because I'd never have it without also having my phone, and my phone has maybe a few notifications per day at most when not actively using it - I massively filter my email via aliases, my work notifications go only to my work laptop, and texting with friends usually happens on my laptop. I don't care about the health features.
Sounds like the idea is that "outlier features" effectively give the model an inhibitory system for other features, and transformer models converge to consistent outlier channel selection per layer at around the 6.7B param mark?

It's interesting, biological neural networks are known to use inhibitory systems for signal gating and sharpening/sparsification, but it's typically handled by distinct neuron types that are strictly inhibitory.

I wonder if one could boost smaller transformer performance with an analogous construction - add on a small additional module constructed for channel inhibition in the rest of the model.
By the east, you mean Samsung (s Korea) and TSMC (Taiwan), which are U.S. allies, using designs from American firms (NVIDIA/Google)?

Those LLM tools are great as productivity enhancers but they don't really provide access to additional knowledge.
I agree that those are the two and the many industrial use cases that use hydrogen directly are the most promising areas.
I think it might be plausible to see hydrogen creep into other market sectors once it already serves a purpose and the infrastructure is already built for use in grid/aviation/steel...etc. Because it is so scalable, we might find it easy to ramp up production and then end up using it other markets sectors.
I’ve met exactly 0 AI doomers who aren’t also highly concerned about and involved with fighting climate change
I guess this is what happens when you have nothing to actually rebut.

Falling back on ad hominems and irrelevant information that, frankly, nobody would ever care to know. Sometimes, you don’t have to say what’s on your mind. I would have hoped the rest of this thread would have shown you that, but clearly that didn’t happen.

Great use of all our time. At least you won’t see this comment to continue your insults of me. Something that, considering you seem to know the guidelines well, is frowned upon here.
> The word „harvest“ is a particularly awkward choice given the fate of their mother…

The verb used is (now? Perhaps it was edited) "salvage".
Sure let's say it happens the day after you put your last dollar in, but some of those dollars previously put in are up 1/5/10/20% depending on DCA pace. Therefore THOSE dollars don't experience the same loss as the last dollar which has not appreciated.

Of course you are measuring that against the fact that the market generally goes up, so any dollars held outside the market are missing gains over time.
In the context of animal rights, and providing evidence of wasps being sentient as support for the rights of wasps, I am making the point that wasps are a massive net negative when existing in my immediate vicinity. We all accept the death of insects throughout the course of merely existing - we accidentally step on them, they hit our windshields, etc. I consider it a right to exist in and around my home without being painfully attacked by the fauna, and if that means I kill a hundred wasps in the 200 square feet of my yard then I accept that as the cost to insects for me to live a life unencumbered by painful attacks.

For context, I am vegetarian (no dairy but I eat pasture raised eggs) because I believe in treating animals that have a "life experience" compassionately and reducing my impact to them as much as reasonably possible. But there are limits to what I want to give mental effort to in my life because if I spent an hour a day thinking about this it would be a net negative to the world in the other ways I could be productively spending that time. And I am not convinced wasps have deep enough of a "life experience" that I am depriving them of anything meaningfully when I kill them.

I go out of my way to not kill insects whenever it's not horribly inconvenient. I always let them outside instead of killing them in the home. I'll avoid stepping on ones outside if I see them. I have saved honey bees a few times when I see them immobile and give them a drop of water so they can recover and fly off. I'm not mindlessly cruel to animals or the environment.

No, I really don’t care. I have hundreds of apps on my phone, most of which I use once every few months or even years. Imagine if they opened some random popup every time someone decided they made huge changes.

Same goes for some extensions, which most likely don’t have (or shouldn’t have) fundamental changes that require immediate action.

Don’t bug your users.

Note: I’m a Web Extension developer too.

"I only robbed your house because you threatened to join the neighborhood watch!" -- Russia

Explain what "smarter politics" means in such a context.
This depends on your circumstance and its important to be a bit more cautious if you received a large lump sum (e.g. from a disability settlement) that you expect to need or live off.

Yes the average person randomly assigned a lump sum on a random day will do much better if they deploy it immediately. But the tail person who gets the bad roll of the dice and receives it on a bad day will do much worse and may not have the money they needed to rely on.

You're not the average person, you're just one person from the population, and you don't know if you'll be the one with the bad roll of the dice or not. That's why people DCA.

If receiving a large lump sum like this you need to live off, either DCA over 12-24 months, or make sure you have some really good tactical allocation system that moves you to safety in the first few years.
Music is already one of the most extremely devalued art forms given how oversupplied it is. Boggles the mind to think of the consequences of technology like this reaching quality levels where the differences between it and professionally produced music are imperceptible.
Sounds like you can make it with an iPhone app and a 3d printed lens cover. Obtain all iPhone models, run calibration for each with known samples, and store the profiles.

It’ll work similarly to those heart rate measurement apps.

Still needs mooring? What i want to see are swimming hydrolyzer/hydrogen transport units that sail the oceans under wind power, driving a hydrogenerator turbine as they go that powers hydrolyzer and compressor. They'd go wherever weather models predict favorable conditions, cruise up and down those waters on a net stationary beam reach course until the storage is filled. Might want to leave some capacity for the return trip harvest. Then they return home, or to whatever port has the best offersvfor selling hydrogen and buying maintenance.

We can’t even fully explain how our own brains work, never mind a system that’s completely alien to us and that would have to be more complex. We can’t even explain how current LLMs work internally. Maybe we’ll make some breakthrough if we put enough resources into it but if people keep denying the problem there will never be enough resources out into it
"in not wanting to die for your bunker rat's fever dreams"

That makes two of us. Unfortunately, they go far beyond that.

That's what russophobes say.
I don't see why Nature is pandering the privileged while also saying that people who get aid can fuck off? When you frame it in a matter of accessibility does that make you feel like an ass for telling people that they must make the grade and their work is not worthy? What kind of inclusive community does that create? Oh can't afford $$$ worth of glass and cameras, get lost. That's all I see here. I'm fine avoiding that community all the same too. Think about how many young people who are poor who have no means to get the gear required to participate, except they have this app that would allow them. But this community has made a clear message to that person they are not welcome. I think thats sad and a real statement unto itself and is a perfect reflections of our current "nature"
Sam Altman invested $375m in Helion to the contrary.
ffs, can we just not make this a thing?
I am (at some point)! I actually built this as a somewhat hack to get users whom I can interview. There were 2 existing extensions that had similar features and I built this to replace them.
I think it's inherent from the danger of hydrogen and I imagine it's extremely reactive, it might interact with most materials used to hold it.

I stopped supporting Chrome for an extension when Google started acting like they were in charge of a walled garden. At one point, I had identical code working as an extension for both Firefox and Chrome, and didn't have to do anything extra for Chrome. But Google added new requirements, and it wasn't worth dealing with Google to support an old no-revenue extension.
The sharpe ratio is a common metric used to balance risk and reward. Based on the figures in this article, I'm almost positive that "lump sum" would outperform DCA's sharpe as well.

A good way to respond to your example would also be to bring in a discussion of the St. Petersburg paradox and expected utility theory.
They happen annually.
> My understanding is that generative AI is created entirely from software, using a network of previously created images as input. A corrective filter modifies an image taken directly from a sensor instead.

Your understanding is incorrect, generative AI can modify an image taken from any source, as well as creating from scratch.
Yep.

And as you stated, it is important to stay as much as possible close to c89, because ISO is literaly doing planned obsolescence, but on a long time cycle (5-10 years).

Hopefully risc-v will be a success, and all system components and interpreters of very-high-level languages will be rewritten in risc-v assembly and it will become actually very hard to do planned-obsolescence.
The Inattentive Thinking of the Disturbed Character
Ok not “way” after - really splitting hairs here. Point still stands public commercial dialup internet was available pretty much everywhere. Call them early adopters or whatever - but the internet already had established communities well before 1994.

> 50,000 people in a metro area of a few million.

We’ll just have to agree to disagree on the interpretation of what “first families”. In the context I read that post it sounded like someone saying they were among literally the first few, not 50k to 100k when anyone with a credit card could order service. First families in my interpretation would be those that probably had access from their parent’s university shell account. This follows with the claim 15 minutes to load a single webpage - but unless you were on a shitty rural phone line running 2400bps it’s not like everyone’s dialup internet access at the time was that limited. Some had to put up with that but the tech in 1994 was not that primitive.
Yep, this is key. With climate change maybe we should be alarmed now, but few people argue that human extinction without our lifetimes is a possible outcome of inaction in the current argument.

Unfortunately, with AI things are different. By the time humans notice a real problem, we may be months if not hours away from death.
You have not provided any evidence for such a claim. I prefer to act based on facts or at least probabilities, not belief.
At least that had some obvious problem it was trying to solve. Here there’s no proposal as to what would happen in those 6 months, what’s at stake if we don’t, why 6 months specifically, how could you even plausibly get cooperation when it’s about competition vs viral spread, no attempt to get cooperation in other countries (eg China), who would even come up with whatever restrictions in those 6 months and what that would look like, etc.

The reality is the cat is out of the bag in so many ways, particularly if you’re a bad actor LLAMA models are available to you. It’s already possible to just create infinite propaganda/spam now. What would 6 months possibly solve?
Ha, moved from the US to Finland 2 years ago myself, we could be twins down to the phone. The deciding factor for me picking up a ruggedized Nokia XR20 was because I said to myself "all I do on this think is Anki, Spotify and social media, so I might as well get an indestructible one if I have to get a new one at all."
This seems like the right thing to do. Lets the newcomer be useful and gets the documentation to have guaranteed recent knowledge. If it's an antipattern it's because too many people don't like documentation and don't update it.
Just like the first generated AI images were full of blurry artefacts,

Then 2 months later, they weren’t.

You’ve got to start somewhere.
"While all agreed "the hat" was the first einstein, its mirror image was required one in seven times to ensure that a pattern never repeated."

Industrialization only happened in free societies that recognized those rights.

Yes, I know about the forced industrialization in the USSR, but that failed to really deliver much to the civilians. It was mostly focused on military production. The US industrialization was so far ahead it provided not only the highest standard of living in the world, but enabled the US to fight simultaneous wars in both hemispheres, while supplying its allies (including the Soviet Union) with vast quantities of industrial products.

> is much more clear

Again, the industrialization of America happened after the rights were guaranteed, and only in the parts of America that were free.

TDP is the wrong measure here. i9-13900K and i7-13700K both have 125W TDP with 253W PL2 specs. By that calculation, the 13900K is more performant per TDP, so is "better" for efficiency.

Computation per kWh (or rate of computation per kW) is the right efficiency metric, not TDP (thermal design power).
Culture Influences Character and Vice-Versa
The real word isn’t pretty, societies maintain a monopoly on violence so all politics is inherently violent. Every political opinion you hold would or does before state violence against some group of people.

This comment is childish, it’s like saying “why can’t we all just get along man”
Look at the i3. Though it isn't much different than last gen, and that buying decision should be mostly determined by price (for the same price, go later). Unless there are significant enough non-speed related architecture differences that I am not aware of and that are important to you (possible). Try to catch a sale. Going upline will double the TDP for little gain, especially if dollars spent is important as well. People that have a specific interest in more L2 and L3 cache may see the logic in going upline. The TDP and price equivalent Ryzen will equate to about 10% better gaming performance, and better multi-thread performance, but lesser single thread performance.
Instead of comparing them based on the average expected value and the variance, and trying to evaluate the trade-off between them in your head, how about comparing them based on the median case, the 40th percentile case, the 30th percentile case.

That allows returns and variance to be combined into one number, allowing more intuitive comparison and evaluation of the trade-off.
