I lived there pre-pandemic in a not so great area for about 3 years, 7th and mission, and it was already pretty bad, people who came to visit were shocked. Buddy on a road trip got a bunch of his belongings stolen in a smash and grab on his car, a zip car I rented was stolen and taken for a joy ride, bicycles were robbed in broad daylight with guys walking around with literal caravans of shopping carts full of stolen bikes and parts, you were likely to step in human shit if you weren’t careful and people were often shooting up in broad daylight next to the subway station. The only plus side was most of the terribleness was confined to a small section of the city. I went back a year ago and it was like that small section had expanded to the rest of the city center and gotten much worse. Its a beautiful city I am rooting for it and I miss it but somethings gotta give.
Declaring someone "head of X" is hedging your bet. If X goes well, then you had the foresight and leadership to expand X. If X fails, then you have a scapegoat picked out.
Great post, the summary for me being: speed is not just speed. There seem to be many other benefits aside from just maximizing productivity. It's a change in mindset that reduces decision paralysis/fear of starting, as well as encouraging experimentation.

As an aside, I was originally not going to post this comment as it doesn't really say anything not present in the article itself. But then I decided that going for it instead of overthinking or reworking it counts as an exercise in working quickly :).

Not anymore, and almost never at small scale. It was massively abused in the 1970s to early 1990s but it's generally associated with the 1980s and specifically the book Barbarians at the Gate (which is an awesome read).

Today I would guess it's most associated with the Toys R Us and Sears failures, but surprisingly no one tends to talk about the Best Buy LBO for some reason...
> The best time to schedule a meeting is at 11am Monday morning.

I always curse people who schedule meetings first thing in the workday, last thing in the workday, or immediately adjacent to lunch time. If the meeting is an hour long, I'll avoid attending an 11am meeting if I possible can.
You can say the same about humans, we only experience an approximation of the real world via our senses, never the “real thing”, so can we “truly understand” it? Yes, in the sense that we can reason about it and make and test predictions about the parts we can understand. The world we experience is based on our senses, and that’s what what we understand. A LLM’s world is text, and there’s no reason it doesn’t “truly understand” the concepts that it’s using any less than humans do
You may be interested in papermill to address the parametrized analysis problem [1]. I think (but I'm not positive) this is what the data team at a previous job used to automate running notebooks for all sorts nightly reports.

A porn app, obviously. But something tasteful - start with a lickable interface written in the native toolkit, decorated in Corinthian leather with porn decoding accelerated by the power of M2. Of course, we also have to be confident enough to pioneer the future of porn, so we'll include leaderboards and "Now Playing" statuses so you can see if your friends and family have closed their rings. It's about family and health, Apple's two biggest lasting legacies.

To give it that premium touch that users come to expect, the app will only play porn licensed by an Apple Certified model who circumstantially agrees to forfeit 15-30% of their earnings. Of course, the real motivation behind the certification system is safety and privacy - when we analyze your vision patterns to improve our biometric feedback system, we want you to rest assured that data is processed on-device until we hash it and use it to serve anonymized advertisements. You're protected from the evil whims of the Metaverse, and sketchy third-party video sites that just want to take your money. In the ecosystem, you're safe and protected.

With these new features, we feel confident that the Reality Pro can disrupt the porn watching market. Think about the sum of how much you pay to watch porn on other devices - your phone, TV, laptop - all of that can be replaced with just one $3,500 device. It's revolutionary.
Prestige depends on the audience. People in Silicon Valley found startups because it's cool, even when their interests are better served at "boring" big companies.
Maybe the author wanted to be offensive, and we just didn't realize, IDK

But as you mentioned, the author's estate, family and editors that worked with them when they were alive are the ones that can probably make the best guess.

My problem is when publishers make changes even at times when authors are explicit in saying they don't want changes, without (not sure about this specific case, I'm just assuming here) getting approval from the estate

Is there really much of a difference once you set aside specific political complaints?

Right: "We used to be great, but now we suck. We should become great again" (though if you ask one, they could prob name things that are better now than they used to be)

Left: "We used to be great in some ways (e.g. income inequality), but now we suck at those. We used to suck in other ways (racism) but now we suck less at those. We should be great at everything instead."

Seems like very similarly shaped desires

The trick is that you have to deactivate the virtual environment and then resource it after adding Jupyter to that virtual environment.

Most shells cache executable paths, so the path for jupyter will be the global path, not the one for your virtual environment. This is unfortunately not at all obvious and leads to very hard to track down bugs that seem to disappear and reappear if you aren't familiar with the issue.

I have a recipe here which always works: https://github.com/nlothian/m1_huggingface_diffusers_demo#se...

If you don't have requirements.txt then do this: `pip3 install jupyter` for that line, then `deactivate` and `source ./venv/bin/activate`.
Darn kids these days just don't know how to get anything done! /s

This thought has a bunch of baked in assumptions that come from your own biases - we certainly have not stood still as a country since 1945. And I don't think shucking oysters or planting crops at age ten would help anyone be a better programmer or physicist or really anything other than manual labor.
I’ve no idea what the cost is since the company pays for it — I do need the horsepower to run some really large models and I suspect most people don’t need this kind of spec. But for my company it’s just part of the cost of doing business.

There’s no IT and I can provision instances of any type (subject to limits) at any time.
Cute. Except again and again we see (and research confirms) that the most resourceful, resilient adults are those who are not forced to display emotional or physical fortitude in childhood. Otherwise you'd expect to see former child soldiers and adult children of drug addicts reaching the highest pinnacles of achievement.
There is a noticeable uptick of barely concealed white supremacy here in the last 2 days. I would feel confident saying that the way upvotes and downvotes work on a cultural level has changed.

We've had conservatives here forever, but I haven't seen people talk about things like "replacement theory". I think there's been a definite overton window shift towards the right wing.

Yesterday there was a question where someone asked what /. is and there were 20 replies with "slashdot" in reddit style. I haven't seen a straight out of reddit comment thread like that for months.

I've definitely found myself angrier reading hacker news than I have been in the months previous. I haven't figured out if that's more of a "we become what we behold" (https://ncase.itch.io/wbwwb) or a real change.
I have set the font for this page and there's no confusion. 1 has slope, I double serif, l the top serif only to the left, O clean, 0 with bar and the bar in Ø is wider than the circle.

So it's nice, but Fantasque Mono is still more legible for my eyes in general.
The first Graviton machines (which were worse than the current 64 core RISC-V SG2042) were installed in November 2018. Four and a half years later are now up to 20% or 25% of total AWS capacity. Even without any acceleration of adoption, it looks like they could be the majority of AWS within 10 years from first deployment.

There seems to be every reason RISC-V could do it faster. Graviton 1 level chips are available right now, Graviton 3 or better coming from multiple companies (including Keller's) in 2024-2025. The software is more critical, but once x86-only things have been made portable to Arm (which can be hard work), further porting them to RISC-V is much much easier.
> I noticed US-based employees prefer to schedule a meeting for an idea and discuss/think/make decision on the meeting.

This is probably why the vast majority of meetings I've had in my career have been utterly without value -- productive discussions, brainstorming, and decision-making rarely happen in those meetings.

This story sounds similar. Just yesterday I read about enshitification[0] form a HN post. What is most interesting is how Reddit has ripped a page or two from Musk's twitter playbook for enshitification.

> Summary: In most online communities, 90% of users are lurkers who never contribute, 9% of users contribute a little, and 1% of users account for almost all the action.

The article is from 2006. Given all the reddit drama, I'm wondering if those numbers are similar of Reddit users today.
People used to think that trauma makes us stronger. What it does is permanently scar those who do not have the support or resilience to develop healthy coping mechanisms.

There is, of course, a line - i don’t think working at McDonald’s when you are 17 is trauma. But working physical labor when you are 12 is.
So, it wasn't until the working class got pay raises that it was a problem. Company after company raised prices during COVID and reported RECORD profits. But the moment worker salaries go up, it's a crisis, interest rates need to be RAISED NOW, and company after company starts doing layoffs - while maintaining RECORD profits.
In case the author sees this, the chessbook discord invite isn't working (at least not for me). bummer... this looks great!
Damn. The sooner reddit gets its shit together the better.
I’m just guessing, but I think “digm” is Greek for “No, we won’t allow you to view a channel’s videos sorted from oldest to newest. What a preposterous idea!”

This is somewhat amusing because (AFAIK) the MI300 was never supposed to an "AI chip." It was squarely targeted at HPC. But alas its what AMD has right this second, and now AI customers can afford it.

Even Nvidia, who was laser focused at ML, wasn't really prepared for the memory requirements explosion.
Jeez, now he was the head mod of r/jailbait? This game of telephone is ridiculous.

There’s no need to slander the guy with false information. Reddit used to allow the moderators of a subreddit to automatically make someone a moderator of that subreddit. Then, as things like people being added as an r/jailbait mod against their wishes became widespread, Reddit changed to an invite system which required a user to accept an invite to be a moderator.

Here is a post on Reddit from 10 years ago describing in depth how the ‘new’ mod invite system works and also stating that you could be made a moderator against your wishes: https://www.reddit.com/r/changelog/comments/117wkp/reddit_ch...

Spez was not an actual moderator of r/jailbait, he was added against his wishes. Please don’t spread harmful lies about the guy, there’s enough true things about him to criticize.

You forgot ‘stealth edited the posts of other users by editing the database directly’ in his list of crimes, don’t forget that along with the firing of the AMA person and lying about the Apollo dev. Those things are all based in reality.
Only if you insist on thinking of brains and ICs as magical mysterious objects about which nothing can be said. We understand how both of these objects work to one degree or another. My point is that it is precisely the understanding of both phenomena which suggests that LLMs are not conscious or, arguably, intelligent.
I can't help but think of anti-personas, like folks who value privacy, who dislike installing apps, folks who hate in-app purchases, or folks that dislike subscriptions. Leave these out and you have a money funnel with little or no friction.

Apple pioneered this, and I remember the steve jobs presentation where he talked about all the users, each with a credit card on file (required).
> ...on the inside of his lower arm was there tattooed a number which Toadvine would see in a Chihuahua bathhouse and again when he would cut down the man's torso where it hung skewered by its heels from a treelimb in the wastes of Pimeria Alta in the fall of that year.

Now that's how you introduce a character!
I don't think it's so unpopular to be suspicious of a blanket law against child labor, but the point about compulsion is critical. Our progressive laws are a compromise that is massively good in the net-that's the nature of the modern world. It may be there's a better arrangement, but it has to avoid the pain, we can't go back to it now. If children can work, poor children will. This recent essay is a good case FOR:
https://letter.palladiummag.com/p/school-is-not-enough
But, it's the kind of thing that cannot be flipped like a switch--it has to, as you say, be part of an effective project of economic justice, which we're very far from.
In lieu of that, the challenge is, can we continue to prevent child labor while compensating for its downsides? Pain is information. Child labor laws trade a widespread and severe pain for a somewhat narrower and vaguer one, but we can respond to that too (a kind of gradient descent).
The factory farming industry seems to have caught onto this. It's illegal to take a picture inside any factory farm.
That's actually part of Marx's analysis in more words, specifically in how social status is a main driver for working people to give in to the logic of capitalism. Ultimately his argument is that this is fundamentally irrational and that even insofar as there is to be some kind of social status, it's more rational for working people to make that less dependent on capital as they are structurally prevented from achieving it.

But yeah as an argument in general "people are selfish and only care about struggling for themselves", if that's actually true it does undermine his whole argument.
I work in AI for a living, my advice would be worry less about what's the latest and greatest and focus on solving your problem, and learning the things you're interested in well.

Precisely because "the rate of change in the AI space is super fast", there really isn't much of a point to keeping up, even if you're an academic researcher (for those you only need to keep up with your piece of the puzzle, and you likely know everyone in that space already).

For example, I wasn't working in the NLP space for a few years. I kept an eye on what was getting mentions in various circles but basically ignored everything until I had a problem to solve. I work with LLMs everyday now, and honestly, even though I do understand them pretty deeply, there's no real need. Prior to the rise of LLMs I spent some time building LSTMs because I felt that I needed to understand them better. Lots of fun projects, but if I had skipped all that it wouldn't have really mattered at all.

Even more dramatically, I was never particularly specialized in computer vision, but currently build things (for fun) with Staple Diffusion every night. I've spent a fair bit of time really understanding the underlying model well (still have much to learn) but, because the space moves so fast, it's not that big a deal that I didn't also spend nights building GANs. Even though Stable Diffusion is also perpetually changing, the community has largely stuck with 1.5 and is very focused on squeezing as much juice out of that as they can.

Most important: the fundamentals have never changed. GPT4 still projects information into some highly non-linear latent space and samples from that. Diffusion models are probably the most novel thing happening now, but more so for their engineering (they're essentially 3 models all trained together with differentiable programming). If you really understand the fundamentals then catching up when you need to is fairly easy.
I wish someone would force the US to confront the human trafficking nightmare that the southern border has become.

Years ago (15?) I looked into this and the numbers were between 20K and 40K people per year. This data is available from multiple reputable national and international organizations. This isn’t ideological, the size of the problem and the misery it creates are matters of verifiable facts anyone can dig up.

Today the problem is massively worse. 100K/year? 200K? Nobody knows with certainty because our government, for some unspeakable reason, seems to think the human misery is worth the political gains.

Anyone who is willing to do some honest digging can get a good picture if the tragedy that has unfolded.

I think this paragraph, from The Road, is one of the most beautiful I’ve ever read:

“Once there were brook trouts in the streams in the mountains. You could see them standing in the amber current where the white edges of their fins wimpled softly in the flow. They smelled of moss in your hand. Polished and muscular and torsional. On their backs were vermiculate patterns that were maps of the world in its becoming. Maps and mazes. Of a thing which could not be put back. Not be made right again. In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery.”
I'm not familiar with the rules. But if you train AI on customer data you might end up with something that looks like front-running.
Ask HN: How do people browse reasonable on Android phones?
As in: what is your solution for browsing news on android and having a reasonable experience. The user experience just seems to be getting worse, and is close to unusable these days, with most sites (other than HN) filling more than half of the screen with videos or adverts, and usually if you click the tiny x without hitting an advert, another usually pops up again as soon as you scroll. A lot of sites also have tiny fonts, which are difficult to read in low light conditions (at night in bed) without lots of zooming (which some sites prevent).

Here are the solutions I've tried:

[1] Safari. Works really well on iOS, and I want it on Android, but isn't available.

[2] Opera claims to have reader mode, but when I tried it it just seems to add its own adverts, along with a "click here to read more" link on all pages. So ultimately it just removes everyone else's adverts and adds their own even worse ads. I get they have to make money, but the whole thing is unusable.

[3] Android Reading Mode. Now, this would be an excellent solution if it actually worked and was thought through, but no, it's a disaster. So you install the "reading mode" app, then turn it on in settings. Now you have a choice: either enable the permanent little annoying bubble that appears all the time, even when reading mode can't be used. Or, choose to click both volume buttons at the same time. The problem with this is that it beeps every time you do that, and the beep cannot be disabled unless you turn "ring & notification volume" to zero. The beep can't be disabled by using "do not disturb", and the "reading mode" app claims it is not using notifications, so there is no way to disable it there. Overall I think google must just have tried to make Reading Mode as annoying as possible so that they can say "hey, we have accessibility", but it's just so annoying that nobody will ever use it.

I haven't found any other solutions to the problem yet.
By that logic the Vision pro isn't an MVP for AR... so then what are we talking about as MVP's?
Daily multivitamin may enhance memory in older adults
> A large clinical trial found that daily multivitamins led to modest improvements in memory over a three-year period in older adults.
The greatest increase was seen in those who had underlying cardiovascular disease.
Additional research is needed to include more diverse participants and pinpoint which nutrients might play a role in protecting memory.

I would hope any good director would have the sense to know that it probably isn't for them. I can't imagine Spielberg picking this up. Gangs of New York is about as close as Scorsese could get but still too Hollywood. The Cohens did a great job of No Country but don't seem like a fit for Blood Meridian.

And hopefully nobody would offer it to somebody second rate.
> people claim Americans are often too artificially faux positive, too effusive, too <insert anything but the cold hard authentic truth>.

I am a genuinely positive person and my interactions reflect that. But I have learned to to be more dour when interacting with people from other countries (mostly from European nations) because they think I'm being phony.

The thing is... I'm not. Being dour to put them at ease is me being phony, but they'll accept that as being "authentic".

So much bizarreness all around.
Personally for me the biggest hurdle is starting a project, not finishing it.
