what do you mean? there were no recordable UMDs. they all had to be stamped. so having mini discs laying around would serve no purpose
The thing about this game is that there is no requirement that is technically impossible.

That's provable; with no closed loops, any pair of points on the paper can be joined by a long enough line. That's why it's a good analogy for code.

...but if you, eg. a system for this; Use straight lines only and space the lines equidistant from other lines.

I mean, it's a game. Literally play the game a few times (grab a friend and do it together) and you'll very quickly figure out things that do work (leaving space) and dont work (draw crazy squiggly lines and lines that are too close together).

This is just a contrived example; if you want to make it more realistic allow 'you can erase a line and redraw it as long as the requirement is maintained', and then you can structure lines into groups, etc.
Ask HN: Looking for a Tool to Monitor Hacker News
Here’s what I need:

1. A tool that can mark a post as an example of a problem my product can solve.
2. This tool should then diligently monitor new posts, scoring them based on their similarity to the examples I've provided.
3. When it finds a match, it should notify me so I can engage with the post.

Is there an existing tool that can do this?

I’ve developed a similar tool for Reddit. This tool, equipped with the power of natural language processing and machine learning, was designed to monitor posts and alert me when it found discussions about problems my product could solve so that I could earn karma, awards, and gold.

But Reddit’s strike taught some of us a valuable lesson. We learned that there is more to life than karma, awards, and gold.
Reddit's strike also taught some of us a harsh lesson. We learned that there is nothing more to life than karma, awards, and gold.

Hacker News seems like a more promising place.
That’s fine. We would both interpret it differently. A lot of reasonable people would. That’s my point. It’s not that a thumbs up can’t mean approval, but that it just as well can mean acknowledgment.
> Any time you see one of those giant context window LLMs, you need to be asking what heuristics they added, what is getting correlated, and what is not getting correlated.

Exactly. The paper doesn't even contain any experiments with context windows over 32K tokens. Presumably because it doesn't really attend to the rest of those tokens at all. In practice it's just a 32K attention window with some "theoretical" opportunity for attending a bit further than that.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Yes, bread + topping is by definition not pizza. Pizza is made with pizza dough and toppings, not with already-baked bread.

Of course if the pizza dough is wrapped around the toppings/fillings, pinched around the edge in a half moon shape and then baked, now it is a calzone, not a pizza.

Or is it an empanada? ;-)

And thank you for that list! I have never had sabich or lahmacun, so you have given me some new things to try.

I'm trying to do the same with United. They kept in the airport from 9 am to 5 pm (they kept delaying the flight hour by hour until they cancelled) and they say they didn't need to provide me a hotel because the flight was cancelled due to external forces (outside their control). I think it was a lie. The plane was in the gate they did not have the crew to fly it. I'm Brazilian and that happened in the USA, so I'm not quite sure how to proceed. But I'm thinking about sueing them in the small cases tribunal.

Sorry if this is not completely related to the story, i just felt like getting it out of my chest.
Is that a realistically reasonable thing to judge someone by?
This is fantastic. Thanks for sharing it here.
Author here, a key thing is that we didn't prescribe that the mechanism of exploration was the same, but rather we found that the AI agent explored poorly (i.e. unlike animals) until we included Curious Replay. Interestingly, we found that the benefits of Curious Replay also led to state of the art performance on Crafter.
Probably, but I doubt it's as intentional as you suspect, if only because that would require a level of competence I don't think they have (Hanlon's razor and all).
Threads is part of Instagram, and I can delete my Instagram account, right? Seems compliant to me.
No, the claim is to the operator, not to the ticker originator. These are claims related to "irregular operations" in aviation speak, so are the responsibility of the operator. This has weird impacts sometimes, but in most cases the operator and the ticket originator are the same for most people so doesn't much matter.

Yeah I mean I wouldn't really include coding models in this list since they're not general purpose models and have an obvious fine tuning edge compared to the rest. But WizardCoder is definitely something to look at as a Copilot replacement.

I'd post a more well rounded benchmark but the problem is that all non-coding benchmarks are currently more or less complete garbage, especially the Vicuna benchmark that rates everything as 99.7% GPT 3.5 lol.
This may be true but isn’t their official stance that their models are too powerful and could destroy Western civilization as we know it?

I guarantee you’re not as safe as you think you are unless you literally never walk anywhere. Drivers illegally tint their windows so you can’t see them.

"It takes a whole new skill set and lots of deliberate work to make the switch." This is very much true. Right now you are managing code. As a manager you'll be managing people, your managers, and in many projects. Managing people can be very difficult. You not only deal with the business day to day issues but you'll have to deal with some of the life problems of the people you manage. Some people love it and others dislike it. It's not a higher level of writing code. It's just different and requires new skills.

BTW, young managers can be at any level of the management structure. It's very possible that your new boss as a manager could be younger than you.

> Inability to encrypt more than 64Gb with the same (key,nonce) pair.

I think a better way is to derive the content per file part and then use a ratcheting nonce to encrypt the subparts. That also gives you random access into the entire file in ~O(1) (i.e. no need to decrypt the entire file) and the ability to interrupt and resume decryption. Unfortunately, there's no standard that describes how the output should be serialized, so tool interop becomes a problem. Although, to be fair, there's no serialization standard for AES either (i.e. what do you do with the nonce?) so it's probably not a big deal.
That's not what nationalize means, you kind of went off on a tangent. Regardless the wealthy would find a way around any scheme like this, I have no faith something like this could be done effectively. Like I said they can't even regulate because of lobbying and special interests (they need money to get elected).

My point primarily being that government is more the problem here than corporations. It's their job to put in safeguards to prevent these things from happening in the first place and they could do that without resorting to pseudo communism.
I do this when calling help lines for companies. I tell the first person I get that I will be recording the call. 9 out of 10 times I am immediately transferred to someone else who ends up being far more knowledgable than tier 1 support.
>That's provably false.

Please prove it. You'll find is some redacted district court documents which is as credible as PRC MFA statement with respect to counter intelligence shenanigans.

> In fact them not being spies, but related to connected people is actually even better.

Except it's manifestly not, especially if you look at geopolitcal messaging at the time. PRC's retaliation over Meng was specifically calibrated to message business community was NOT targetted. Apart from Michaels ther was the Canadian drug trafficker with proven traffic activy in Canada. And when media was frenzing over some passengers (I think teacher) having issues transitting via PRC airport, there was rapid messaging from PRC end to assure it was procedural and not part of the Meng drama. PRC messaging could not have been clearer. The Michaels being spies mattered precisely because the point of PRC retaliation was to segregate from commercial activities. This was during time when PRC was fighting hard against decouple efforts from US.

Smoking gun in sense that if an ex MSS member got arrested in US, was returned to PRC during exchange, followed by MSS publically celebrating their return and their associate saying they used to conduct intelligence activities, the parsimonious answer is US security apparatus caught a PRC spy. If that's not enough damning context then there's nothing else to say.
I had an old compilers professor say something like this once. “If you think you can do something better than the C compiler, I promise you you can’t.”
ITA (former Alitalia) lost my baggage in transfer and delivered it four days later. While their phone support in Italy assured me I could send in the receipts for essentials and a change of clothes, their US office completely ghosted my inquiries and receipt scans.

I filed a complaint with US Department of Transportation https://www.transportation.gov/airconsumer/file-consumer-com... received a written confirmation from DOT that yes, they agree what ITA did was wrong and that my case was being forwarded to the airline.

A few days later a manager who was suddenly "informed of my disappointing experience with ITA" reached out and asked for the receipt scans to be sent directly to him.

Not that it inspired any confidence in ITA processes (there was no ticketing system, just a message to the guy's corp email account) but I did get my check a month or so later.
>> “Russian colonists” is an extremely biased way of labeling people who moved to a region while living in a federation, and wound up living there after the federation allowed the regions to secede.

Latvia wasn't "allowed to secede", but was occupied by force in 1940 and restored its independence in 1991 when the USSR crumbled. Soviet forces tried to prevent it using violent means until the very end: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Barricades In Riga, Nevzorov recorded a famous video with Spetsnaz instructor preparing soldiers to go on a rampage on civilians. In neighbouring Lithuania, Soviet forces drove tanks over civilians: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/a7/eb/15/a7eb15202e9b6655af25... "Allowed to secede", you say? Fuck you. People fought for their freedom and won, it wasn't handed to them.

As to colonization, Latvia is literally an example in Wikipedia article on Colonization: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonization#Baltic_states

Over the three Baltic countries, 630 000 people were murdered or deported and their homes were given to Russian colonists. Due to oppressive policies and constant flow of colonizers, the share of Latvians in Latvia steadily decreased until they were about to become a minority in their own country by the late 1980s. Latvia was mercilessly exploited by Russians, and those colonists who are now left there are former plantation owners, bitter that they have no special status and no slaves anymore, and have to learn the language of slaves and drive a cab to survive.

>> my point about a symmetric proxy war

"Proxy war" is nothing but a hollow Russian talking point, because Russians see Ukrainians as inferior and cannot bring themselves to admit that they are losing to "subhumans". So they are desperate to depict this as a grand war against the whole NATO. It's not. Russian invasion of Donbas was a Russian military action from the earliest days, carried out by its special forces and regular army. According to top Russian commander of the invading forces, they had next to no local support. In contrast, Ukrainian defense against Russian invasion is fought by Ukrainians under Ukrainian command, with military aid from the whole world - such as tanks from Morocco, artillery guns from Sweden, shells from Pakistan and APCs from Australia -, and not from anyone in particular.
Not to nitpick, but if you're able to name the company employing Kenyans, Sama, who's homepage is at https://www.sama.com/, with a team page at https://www.sama.com/our-team/ , I'm not sure you can complain that they're being shady and anonymous.

I know this is conventional wisdom and also is very true.

however, the funny thing is, when eventually a film maker comes along and makes a film that is both new, unique, and outlandishly successful, then suddenly its "obvious" and Hollywood starts to copy that, but it takes forever for the right person to be in the right place for that to get moved forward, so you end up with rinse wash repeat stuff for the longest time.

For example, HBO taking a risk on Game Of Thrones or the initial conception of the new Marvel movies (I'm talking about Iron Man, the first one from 2007, and so on, when it was still novel), Breaking Bad was novel when it came out too. Same with The Walking Dead (the plot elements, not so much the idea of a zombie horror)

There is another possibility: because the first leg plane was late, it missed the pushback at 09:40 and then again 09:56 and the ATC put the plane at the end of the queue for takeoff until 10:48. ~~Though I can't imagine Lisbon to be such a busy airport to have an hour-long queue of departures, who knows.~~[1] In any case, if ATC denied takeoff/pushback because Air France missed the schedule, AF could not blame the ATC.

Thank you for your post and reply but I fear with a post + title like this you may just be chumming the waters.
It looks like the concept comes only from that paper.

Your understanding in the last paragraph is correct. Whereas both types of transistors are current sources, this hypothetical trancitor would act as a voltage source.

From what I understand of the paper, it is only a theoretical and mathematical basis. One simulation with an ideal trancitor that they do shows that it saves some complexity by using less transistor/trancitors for a certain application and has better power efficiency.

The issue is that it likely would break down at some points, and we would have to also figure out how to create this behavior in the first place.

I think you're splitting hairs. Clearly "environment" in this context isn't the existence of Earth as a planet but life on Earth, the current ecology, and our place within it. That cares very much about how much total carbon output there is, regardless of what we perceive as fair. And again, as I mentioned, China's total energy use is likely artificially inflated than it might otherwise be because the world's manufacturing capacity is centered there - a fairer comparison would likely take carbon emissions used in exports and attribute that back to the home country that is importing the product. I suspect in that context USA & Europe will look remarkably worse per capita.
