Agree but GP's point is that the launch was terrible.
They’re arguing it would become more valid.
You realize that's a limitation in the web application right?

The web app is a consumer app (B2C) the api is commercial (B2B). They tinker with the B2C app because it's already a lossy approximation of using the model between the summarization and system prompt.

They cannot mess with the commercial offering willy-nilly: People are building businesses predicated on it behaving a certain way. That's why there are dated version that you can pin to with the API. The web app changes whenever they feel like it.
Or price is of little consequence and you just want a nice machine.

I have several Nucs and would love a Max mini server. I think I’d prefer that option but the price is too high to justify it.

The bits I like are the built in 10gbe and the huge transcoding power.
Ask HN: What’s the best way to get in touch with YC Staff?
Hey HN,

I submitted my YC application yesterday for the early deadline for AI startups. I was silly and forgot to include the AIEarlyInterviews23 string in the application. I am now unable to edit the necessary question to include it.

I have emailed apply@ycombinator.com to let them know but I’m guessing they are understandably super swamped right now.

Just wondering if anyone knows another way of getting in touch to make sure my application is considered for the early deadline.

Thank you!!

I've been thinking of getting a fanless case[1] for my Asus PN51. Akasa also makes some for Intel NUCs too[2], amongst others.

While in the past I have used a pair of Gigabyte Brix with good results, I no longer consider them for any new purchase.

The reason is that all the Gigabyte Brix are designed for a maximum working ambient temperature of 35 Celsius degrees. Where I live, in Europe, the ambient temperature is frequently higher than that.

Now, a condition for buying any new computer is to have a maximum working ambient temperature of at least 40 Celsius degrees, like it was true for most Intel NUC models.

Mostly agree but I don't know why you hate AirPods so much. AirPods was great from the beginning (in retrospect after people accepted the design).
You said their main product was "LLMs that benchmark the best" like benchmarking was some important aspect of marketing. It's not. That's fact. You can't say it's this hugely important thing and conveniently leave out they make near zero effort to do anything with it.

Basically the only people running benchmarks that could have been gamed on GPT-4 were other researchers, not companies, customers or users looking to use a product.

Normal users are certainly not running benchmarks and companies running benchmarks are running ones on internal data, which just defeats the whole point of gaming these research benchmarks.
>Llama really isn't open source, at least not in the sense of FOSS licenses like GPL or MIT.

Note that I never said "open source" just "open models". As in, I can now actually build things with GPT3 capability that run locally. I couldn't care less about the model code.

>Llama 2 still requires multiple kilowatts of electricity and $10,000+ of compute hardware per inference session.

I'm running llama-2-7b-chat on my 8GB M1 Mac right now with llama.cpp. Completions are instant, and essentially at GPT3 levels of accuracy.

The higher param models require up to 64GB RAM, but it's all CPU based.

I've used GNU Radio and built a few different virtual radios. I finally grok the idea of a negative frequency (which only makes sense if you have both I and Q)

I wrote a flowgraph that decodes the local VOR Navaid, and shows my bearing to it. GNU Radio is also suitable for audio I/O by the way.

At some point in the future, I'd like to set up a coherent SDR with many channels, so I can do passive radar and see what's really in the sky.

Sweden has a low population density because it's geographically large (by European standards) and has only 10.2 million people. However, maybe you forget that it's population is also 88.49 percent urbanized, so they are actually quite crowded together, in a way comparable to many American levels.. It's not like those millions lived scattered all over the landscape.

Ideally, you'd achieve as much as you can with minimal interruption to your main workflow.

With graphical clients, there's some friction, since you have to open the client to the directory you're in; or these interfaces are designed for use mainly with the mouse.

A command line program is right there, especially if you're otherwise using a terminal. -- But, for any commands which require finer things than "add everything", being precise on the command line is generally slow.

To get `git show 14feb20`, or `git add path/to/foo.ext`, it can be quite slow to get those precise values, especially if it involves re-entering a value from the output of a previous command. (It will still be slow, even if you're using tab-completion or fzf or copy-pasting).

Keyboard-driven interfaces like lazydocker or lazygit avoid those disadvantages.
Paranoia would be charitable: it's FUD.

If you intentionally smear the line between their web app which is chock full of optimizations to even let it function as it does (the web app's max conversation length exceeds the context window) and the API which is versioned and iterated on in the open... it's either a lack of understanding or FUD.

> As large shareholders they…

Apart from Elon, each has less than 0.05% of the shares of Tesla, they are far from large shareholders.

If the board was to meant to represent shareholders and not to rubber stamp their mates decisions as CEO it should be comprised of representatives of the large institutions that hold the majority of the shares.

Fair enough.

Stugeon's Law holds. There's also the whole publishing / academic clique environment which incentivizes such styles. And there are refreshingly clear and accessible authors in philosophy from both the present time and the past. I've been following a number of podcasts for a few years now which tend to be both reasonably high quality and quite listenable: Peter Adamson's History of Philosophy, Stephen West's Philsophize This, a set of podcasts each from Nigel Warburton nd David Edmunds (Philosophy Bites, Philosophy Sites, and a few more) and David Runciman (Talking Politics, History of Ideas, Past Present Future, etc.). Bertrand Russell's History of Western Philosophy and Will Durant's Story of Philosophy are also engaging.

A number of these are surveys of philosophy rather principle works, but there's at least work in the genre that's readable.
My experience coincides with yours with respect to the disregard school boards have for, not just the PTA, but the will of parents in general. Although I don't think that, at its base, it started with contempt-- I think it began with actual disregard or maybe apathy in favor of their own pet projects and ideas of how things should be regardless of the parents' wishes. Contempt only entered the picture when parents voices dissent. But that's only what I see locally for my district, I'd certainly believe you if you reasserted that no, in your district it did actually begin with contempt as well.

With respect to the GP comment, I don't think things are quite as pre-planned as a deliberate effort to have engaged parents sort of subsidize the lack of effort by less engaged parents. That might be the net result, but attributing that to a deliberate and coordinated plan on the part of school boards or the broader public education system is, to my thinking, giving them too much credit in their ability to so coordinate and engage in such complex efforts. They bicker far too much among themselves pursuing their own agendas to agree long enough for that level of strategy.

And there are on occasion parents truly willing to put in the effort and get elected, but end up quickly disillusioned on their hopes for affecting any change and leave to spend their time more productively. Often enough those who seek & stay in these board position aren't even parents of children who currently or even attended the schools in the district.

Again though, I'd temper my statements with the caveat that they're based on my own singular experience, and I'd readily believe that elsewhere there are boards who arrive at the same state of affairs with a bit more deliberate actions. It's all a mess.

This sort of device is usually made by OEMs, so the NUC was quite unusual, so that’s a reasonable thing to mix up.

Actually, this has made me curious—I’m not sure if Intel, like, physically made the cases. But it could be a deal like with Apple, they don’t actually physically make iPhones of course, they contract it out to Foxconn. Wasn’t able to find any info about a contract manufacturer for NUCs, does anyone know if they used one?
Telegram is one social network that has a huge potential for growth today. It is a dominant platform for War reporting from both sides. And it is not compromised by history of censorship, and CIA connections, like other social networks.

This is not what the Llama 2 license says [0]. There is a cap on the number of active users of products (any products, not just ones that may make use of Llama) by the company who plans to use Llama 2 as of Llama 2 release date.

Not a “future cap on number of users of your Llama2-based product”. Also, the cap is 700 million users.

I quite like layered dependency structures.

I even have a lua codebase where I've linearized the sourcecode files into a particular order. The layout looks like this:

01_foo/
03_foo.lua
04_bar.lua
15_whatever.lua
02_bar/
22_whatever.lua
56_something.lua

It has always bothered me in codebases that they don't have a "beginning" and an "end", and therefore it's difficult for a reader to know where to start when they just want to read the codebase.

So, my approach is to impose this linear order and only allow code that comes later to depend on code that comes earlier, never the other way around. This way, you can read through the code rather easily. As you look at any piece of code, it will only depend on code you've already looked at, so you don't have to be constantly jumping through the codebase as you're reading.

I've also found that failure to correspond to a linearizable dependency structure is a "code smell", and that, as I try to eradicate that code smell, I frequently end up with code that's better in all kinds of ways.
DBrand Did Something
It’s designed for building libraries really. You write functions in the foo.pyx file, Cython generates a foo.c file which gets compiled to foo.cpython-39m-x86_64-linux-gnu and then in your script you do “import foo”
My impression is that the opposite can be true as well: beyond a certain amount of wealth, no number can be high enough to not chase an even higher one. I believe that the low point of pursuing more is when there is enough money to make the immediate utility of a little more unnoticeable but not so much as to make your wealth the defining characteristic of your identity. Once that happens, no number will ever be high enough, they'll seek the higher number like competitive gamers seek higher scores, runners seek lower marathon times, skaters seek ability to do more tricks, collectors seek rare collectibles.

The only causal link between less police leading to less crime: is fewer police reports. People give up reporting crime if police is nowhere to be found.

How do you access your remote development machine? Is it a graphic connection / can you use an IDE?

Lack of universal healthcare and lack of laws requiring drug users and mentally ill to get treatment or go to jail. Most democratic run states have just given up enforcing drug laws or decriminalized drugs. If you are mentally ill or addicted to a substance, no one can really force you to get treatment. As a result, most never get better and just get worse and worse. There is also just less housing overall, so if someone is going to get displaced first--it's going to be the folks on heroin and meth first.

> a lambda that maps to the Runnable interface _is_ a first class object.

A simple python function also is. Just much simpler. On principal, every turing complete language can do everything that you make it do, including emulating concepts that are more natural in other languages - you can write OOP in C if you want to build the whole scaffold to support it.

I also happen to know quite a number of languages, up to 10 if we talk about everything I've developed something in, but more like 5~ if we talk about ones that I'm familiar with, this includes java and python. imo programming should be language agnostic - don't try to remember the syntax, all of it is available in 10 second via googling, but remember data structures that are common across all languages and specific useful patterns and choose the right one for the job.

Both python and java have their own advantages, and own ways of doing things. But writing python like classic OOP java results in hot garbage. It defeats the purpose of using python, should just use Java if one want to emulate all of that polymorphism and OOP patterns, at least the language is built for it.

This is a big beef I have with a lot of STEM types, especially in IT

Math should never be taken a concrete thing. It’s a guide to understanding such things. A map.

Truth in the physical world is determined by experiment. That’s physics.

Too many in IT and engineering seem to think making purpose built counting machine count is experimental verification.

We can’t iterate on rockets forever; not enough stuff. Yet so many smart people just scoff at the idea.

Unscientific mind viruses about reality for us being endless permeate society. Even as religion fades, paranoia at the real nature of reality, anxiety over it, has latched on to the biology religion accidentally stumbled upon.
The model learns an embedding table, where (roughly) each row is used as the model’s internal representation of each token. The numbers in that table are learned. What isn’t learned is the map from token (i.e. combination of characters/byte-pairs) to row-index in the embedding table. That is given by tokenization
