Probably largely the same people but cultures can change even if none of the membership does.

Anyway two points:

- The vicious racism was already enough of a consistent thing in the 2000s that I clocked it as essentially a movement at that point. They always claimed to be joking but even then it was clear that many of them were not. Regardless of what other political affiliations were commonly held there at that time. But I think you got it pretty close, they weren't that politically coherent back then, and certainly not leftist so much as just anti-bush/anti-republican.

- Gamergate was a permanent rearrangement, finally giving a coherent "them" to orient a reactionary antipolitical movement against. I think the sharp ramp up in aggressiveness and frankly violent imagery filtered a lot of people out, while simultaneously inviting people in, creating a new overlap with pre-existing and nascent reactionary groups like (self-identified I don't mean this as an insult per se) reddit incels.

So having kept an eye on it for a while now, I think it has meaningfully changed since 2008, even if a lot of the members are the same and many of the cultural signifiers are intact. Just for one it is much more coherent as an allegiance or identity, as you can see by the dozens of people coming out to passionately defend it in these comments.
I wish Apple Maps had a North Up mode. Unfortunately it doesn't and I had to abandon Google Maps because they made some algorithm changes that make it do dumb things like try to take you up a blocked private road and generally avoids the simpler routes in favor of a more "efficient" one.
Awesome! Can you show me when you're done? I'd love to see it :)
> Palantir is politically involved enough that I don't think we can raise any hackles about PRC that don't apply equally in practice to USA.

Absolutely absurd statement. Palantir doesn't run concentration camps.
Mailgun will store the email body for 3-7 days (depending on plan/settings). I'm definitely not an advocate of mailgun as a whole, but their logs are really good in my opinion.

Are you stating you want the email body indefinitely though? Does Mandrill store this? I'm yet to fully check them out.
I see in the article that they think solar panels could be more efficient in space, but could they ever be so much more efficient to justify the added cost of flying them to space?
Multiple revelations including Snowdens reveal that the data is not uncorrelated/anonymous, if it were I'd imagine it'd be of little use for intelligence purposes. Maybe I am too dismissive/cynical but I don't put much stock in what the courts decide or why on issues like this, they're all under somebody's thumb from what I can tell. They're the same folks that brought us such hits as "corporations are people and money is speech", call me crazy but I don't think they're making their decisions based on high-minded constitutional principles
There's a bunch of USB-C portable monitors these days that just work off the laptop battery, using that same cable.

I had a Lenovo one and it was fine. Display quality (and more importantly brightness) was vastly inferior to the Macbook's, but enough for Slack...
It just can't be worse than a govt agency's daily bungling. And probably costs 100 times less than their pension bill. That was probably Microsofts sales pitch.

HN is the most polite site on the Internet [1]; if the response from HN is "too harsh and critical" then those launchers will just be eaten alive on the Internet at large.

Everyone already politely lies to people trying to do new things, we don't need to encourage it further (see: https://www.momtestbook.com )

[1] I cannot think of a largish site with more polite discussion, perhaps they exist somewhere.
That looks really helpful. I'll give it a try.

I like the "open" aspect and using it to pull from my docs rather than being a cloud based thing.
Rather, players have a FIDE rating within FIDE, and a unique rating in each system, because no organization follows the exact, original Elo system.
> The single biggest skill that GPS is killing isn't symbolic recognition in the map, it's what I call "thinking big".

I agree completely. If I'm using GPS to navigate around a town, I've found looking at the route first and creating a general narrative helps. Something like "I'm traveling generally southwest. Most of my time is on I-80, and my exit is shortly after the big turn after which I'll continue west."
From my perspective, it seems two main things limit LLM adoption in my area of the Department of Energy. I'm not in management, so I don't have any particular insight in the procurement process.

1. Information sensitivity. Even ignoring classified information, there are quite a few things we can't even put into a Google search. It's definitely a no-go for this to end up in a training dataset.

2. "Hallucinations"

Making LLM available through some infrastructure that is already approved for sensitive information will definitely help with the first point, and allow us to experiment with more areas where it might be helpful. I presume this would come along with guarantees about the interactions not being used for training.

It might be even better if some company would sell an appliance we could install on-prem with similar non-training guarantees. Then we could leverage these new tools for very sensitive information, which could be a great help.
Resend is, or at least at launch was, using SES as their email provider.
I don't think this coinage is something to be proud of, given that the stochastic parrot analysis is now rejected by most top AI researchers, like Geoffrey Hinton or Andrew Ng. Even LLM skeptic Yann LeCun says LLMs have some level of understanding:

One trouble w/ the long tail as a business is that people who are interested in the “long tail” have a huge amount of old content that they can enjoy. For instance I am still discovering old groups like Yellow Magic Orchestra.

I despise the “classic rock” format where you will hear the same tired song in the morning and evening drive time every day, there is a show on a local college station that plays “classic rock” B sides, obscure tracks, bands that sound like “classic rock” bands you know but did not get so famous. The DJ apologizes if he plays any track he played in the last six months.

Today my thing is anything that is recorded in a surround format be that traditional Chinese music or 2000s electronica or remnants from the 1970s quad era.

New music that appeals to the short tail has to get my attention through all that.
Ask HN: Please share OSS examples of K8s, of simple and medium complexity?
While learning kubernetes ("k8s") I haven't come across an article which compares different levels of complexities of k8s app deployments.

There are internal & external several components within k8s/k8s ecosystem which can be used. I recently worked at a company which uses k8s in at least two different architectural models (startup vs corporatation-which-acquires-startups), which was interesting to see.

In my case, I am interested in seeing a diagram (and hopefully open source codebase such as a github page) of projects at three levels of complexity: simple, medium, and complex.

For example, at simple & medium complexity levels, I wouldn't need a service mesh, or some other types of (whether external (e.g. app integration) or internal) additional complexity.

Does anyone suggest such resource(s)? Thanks!
Models that are known for:

1. Lying about everything

2. Require human curation to procedure usable results, that will be biased because of that curation

3. Being extremely good at convincing people they should trust them

Gee, I wonder if there’s anything that can go wrong here, when it’s handed to unskilled, underpaid employees who don’t care and are used to just following instructions? And they start making decisions that affect peoples lives?

I can bet $100, that if that goes beyond any alpha test, we’ll have huge scandal in the future of how those models were purposely modified to influence government, that will make any social media scandal look like a child’s play.

EDIT: and I assume that there won’t be an information leakage - that’s the easiest problem to tackle, with separate infra that government clouds are reasonably good at.

That comparison doesn't work unless the lawyer is also donating lawyer-work to the soup kitchen, either directly or indirectly (with money earned). Then you could say the time at the soup kitchen is for the sake of motivation and understanding, as is the case with the mandatory time behind the Avis service desk.

But if the lawyer is doing the volunteer manual labor hour instead of donating the much more valuable specialized work hour, then it's nothing like the Avis example.
Giving Perl a Chance
That's pretty bad, looks like some UI bug. We're investigating it right now.
Same with the various web development subreddits as well. Copious amounts of content from "My First Website", to "am I doing intro-level CSS thing right?", and "can I still get a React job?"

There's certainly a place for these, as everyone needs to start somewhere, but having a better home for these would be welcome.
I see only a few peaks starting in 2008 that are in the double digit numbers. Could these just be queries containing the words "stochastic" and "parrot"?

For instance, there's this ecology paper from 2014: Influence of stochastic processes and catastrophic events on the reproductive dynamics of the endangered Maroon‐fronted Parrot Rhynchopsitta terrisi

Not sure what happens under the hood, but it wouldn't surprise me if people searching for this paper would show up under "stochastic parrot" in google trends even if that's not what they literally searched for.
>Also straw purchasing a legal substance is much easier than finding a dealer of an illegal one.

You say that as if it's a given, but it really isn't. It's region-specific, if anything. I live in Tennessee, and I would guess that it might be easier for a teen to acquire meth than alcohol. That depends on who the particular teen happens to know. Don't forget, there is also straw purchasing of illicit substances too, people who know someone who knows someone, but don't have the direct access to the one with the substance, they're also straw purchasing.
And it would end up like RadioShack or Frys. There's no chance with Amazon same day delivery. Gamestop just needs to realize its time is done and shutter their business. There's a reason why there aren't any music stores at malls and everything is going digital download.
there is nccl, gpudirect, nvlink and so on and so forth.. It is not just matmul on gpus.
The system is spoiled by confusion between division into 10 and division into 100. This creates extra levels so that the implementation does not live up to its "two clicks away" promise.

For instance, in the site's own structure, we have

11-core/11.01-introduction

But that would leave two digit categories at the top level. The top level is organized by groups of ten and so we need

10-19-concepts/11-core/11.01-introduction

One question is what if 10/11 gets more than ten items, so there is an 10/11/11, 10/11/12?

Isn't there a division into ten needed there?

If the bottom level never goes beyond 00-09, the zero is redundant. It's actually a three level system with a branching factor of 10, and you might as well just have

10-concepts/11-core/1-introduction

I would just have

10/11/1

and have symlinks

concepts -> 10

10/core -> 11

10/11/introduction -> 1

Using the numbers as prefixes for the symbolic names means that someone who remembers the symbolic name but not the number cannot use tab completion nicely. They have to use tab completion to scan the entire directory level, then type the number, then tab complete again.

Symlinks going from symbolic to numeric is probably the right direction. The OS symlink resolution then teaches the users what the categories are:

$ realpath --relative-to=. concepts/core/introduction
10/11/01

There could be accelerator symlinks at the top level:

11.1 -> 10/11/1

Now you get the full benefit. If you remember that introduction is 11.1, you actually have that as an instantly navigable identifier in the system.
As someone who has worked a lot with CVEs (and CPEs :shudder:) and had a few interactions with NVD, they are trying their best but absolutely do not have the resources they need. The other part of this is that CVSS 3.1 overrates severity in many cases, solving this is a major goal of the soon to be released CVSS 4.0!
Instant Pot has become a cultural icon, everyone has one. How does such an iconic brand go under so quickly? Just bad management? I'm not buying the excuses of "its the macroeconomic climate blah blah"
LessWrong might call that motivation the lawyer gets from working directly in the kitchen WarmFuzzies to contrast with the hard utils of working and donating.

There's even some advice to make sure you get your quota of warm fuzzies to stay motivated and connected with the cause you are working for. It's easier to burn out if you never see the upside of your efforts or the smile on people's faces directly.

However they are different things. Don't also forget to uh how do they say it.... "Shut up and multiply" I think and figure out what advances your cause the most. (While including enough direct touches to stay sane as otherwise you are less effective)

Though I don't often see the finding problems case stated. That is important too.
> Sounds great, but with all the morons reacting prolifically to every piece of trash, will my one carefully allotted upvote be valued?

At least you aren't adding to the problem.
How would you prevent every school shooting without literally going through everyone's private communications? They're not criminal conspiracies or even planned, they're some guy using a gun to shoot people at a school.

This is America, tons of people are buying ungodly amounts of guns and ammo right now. Only like 0.1% of them will ever shoot up a school (95% of them will just use it on deer and shooting ranges, and 5% will either kill themselves or have it stolen by criminals who will use it for carjackings), and courts will strike down the FBI going after people for buying ammo
On an individual-level then sure, but less people buying flight tickets will obviously lead to airlines eventually running less flights.
I haven't been to SF in 20 years and reading the news I can't decide whether it's the 10th Circle of Hell or just another misunderstood American city. The comments eventually will support both sides equally no doubt.
Do you love money so much that, like the Sackler family, you would kill millions to have more of it? I hope not!
I thought lasers would work better so I did some searching and found this article from DOE. It seems lasers are easier
to construct, but the problem with lasers is that it’s a high powered laser in space which might as well be a weapon.

https://www.energy.gov/articles/space-based-solar-power

Microwave transmitting satellites orbit Earth in geostationary orbit (GEO), about 35,000 km above Earth’s surface. Designs for microwave transmitting satellites are massive, with solar reflectors spanning up to 3 km and weighing over 80,000 metric tons. They would be capable of generating multiple gigawatts of power, enough to power a major U.S. city.

The long wavelength of the microwave requires a long antenna, and allows power to be beamed through the Earth’s atmosphere, rain or shine, at safe, low intensity levels hardly stronger than the midday sun. Birds and planes wouldn’t notice much of anything flying across their paths.

The estimated cost of launching, assembling and operating a microwave-equipped GEO satellite is in the tens of billions of dollars. It would likely require as many as 40 launches for all necessary materials to reach space. On Earth, the rectenna used for collecting the microwave beam would be anywhere between 3 and 10 km in diameter, a huge area of land, and a challenge to purchase and develop.

——-

Laser transmitting satellites, as described by our friends at LLNL, orbit in low Earth orbit (LEO) at about 400 km above the Earth’s surface. Weighing in in at less than 10 metric tons, this satellite is a fraction of the weight of its microwave counterpart. This design is cheaper too; some predict that a laser-equipped SBSP satellite would cost nearly $500 million to launch and operate. It would be possible to launch the entire self-assembling satellite in a single rocket, drastically reducing the cost and time to production. Also, by using a laser transmitter, the beam will only be about 2 meters in diameter, instead of several km, a drastic and important reduction.
Why people are not in love with Active Learning, yet
All good you helped me explain my position better I think. I also remember my friends noticing that hack. Good times in spite of the change it was indicating, where megacorps thrive at the expense of others. Which btw fits into the story of some video games, like Umbrella Corporation in Resident Evil.
It is dangerous to play bio-engineer, and then handle what you create like Gomer Pyle.
Our entire patent system in the US is designed to benefit lawyers (keep them employed) and large corporations. Fostering innovation and supporting inventors is now completely secondary (or not a goal at all)... probably been that way for a long time but it is only getting worse.
Partner Politics at Goldman Sachs
The basic filing fee is extremely reasonable: https://www.sec.gov/ofm/filing-fee-rate : about 0.1% of the value of the IPO.

It's the legal advice and accounting specialists required to produce an adequate prospectus that's the big cost. But again: if you're raising millions, it seems not unreasonable to front some of that, even as personal debt, in order to prove "skin in the game" and that it's not a scam.

EOS raised $4.2 billion dollars. You're telling me they can't front 60k?
>>If the UK already blocked the deal, why does the US need to?

The UK could reverse their position. It makes no sense for the US to rely on a foreign countries ruling, as they have no control over whether it changes.
I don't think that's a flaw; that's addressed in the very next essay in the sequence, titled "Purchase Fuzzies and Utilons Separately."[0] The idea is that if you're a lawyer that's trying to do maximum good, food kitchen work is a very poor trade for you. But if you're trying to get a warm fuzzy feeling, working in a soup kitchen may be pretty effective.

Purchasing warm fuzzies is sometimes efficient (from an emotional or long-term mental health perspective), even though it's very inefficient at doing good directly. But ideally you should be able to be honest with yourself about what it is you're actually buying with that hour.

> Looking for a job right now, not limited to any specific language, and I see Ruby mentioned plenty of times.

This furthers the point. By stating a lot of companies are looking for Ruby (something that doesn't match my experience when looking) is not a testament that it is hot and in-demand, it is a testament that those roles are not being filled. Senior devs don't make senior dev money doing junior dev work. My assertion is that the majority of Rails is CRUD development that only gets difficult when you step off the golden path- ergo, those positions go unfilled and outnumber their statistical representation in what would be called 'production Rails applications'
I've worked at companies who sell software to state governments. They usually run sensitive software in their own servers with no external internet access. We would have to send someone onsite to perform their upgrades or send detailed list of instructions so they can resolve the issues themselves.

I suspect Microsoft would do something similar, no data would leave government property.
IMO, there is this common habit in lesswrong of creating new words that sound smart, as if they cannot "stop trying to make it a thing". If justified, I don't normally see a problem with that (like fractal, from Mandelbrot).

It feels like it is not enough to talk about a concept, we need mega-utilons, or hyper-tail-distribution. As if they wanted to sell you a best-seller at an airport about this new concept. I have been disappointed in enough articles there that use these new concepts to hide flaws in argumentation, to not bother with lesswrong.
> Add to that that there are many Russians publicly supporting the war

There are many white people being racist towards white people, should I give all white people the cold shoulder so one day it will end racism?

I think it is unkind to treat people in a punitive manner for something that is beyond that individual person.

What an awful thing to say to another person
It's not a perfect system, but I think the Nintendo Switch is the best system for collectors right now. There are still many things I would change, but compared to Xbox and PlayStation...

1. Games that require downloads are clearly labelled on the box. (Spyro being an example - clearly states that a ~10GB download is required on the back.)

2. Games that only include download codes are required to have a massive banner at the top of the box. There's also no "Smart Delivery" nonsense like on Xbox where the game might have a Xbox One version but no Xbox Series version on the disc.

3. Games can be updated offline from another Nintendo Switch. While not a perfect system (no upgrading directly from stored files), if Person A's Pokemon Scarlet has been updated to 1.4, and your version is 1.0; if the internet was not available, Person A could update you to 1.4; and then you could update other people to 1.4. Compare that to a PlayStation or Xbox which has no capacity for offline updating of games, of any kind. The catch though is that the Nintendo Switch System Software (OS) has no ability for offline updates unlike the PlayStation or Xbox, so keeping your Nintendo Switch System up-to-date is still important.

4. Nintendo occasionally revises cartridges to have newer versions of games, quietly. Super Mario Maker 2, for example, has had 5 cartridge revisions going from version 1.0 to 3.0.1. Breath of the Wild has had 4 revisions from 1.0 to 1.6. Third-party studios don't do this that often, unfortunately, but you can read the revisions list at http://www.benoitren.be/switch-cartridgerevisions.html.
