Actors in Elixir (and AFAIK the Actor Model in general) can mutate their internal state in response to receiving a message. It would probably be awkward to use actors in this way just to facilitate mutation though.
I think what you will find is that a stunning amount of that "charity" falls within the giver's social circle. My understanding is it includes donations to the giver's own religious organization. Or even donating to a cause once it's touched you personally -- your mother dies of cancer so you donate to a cancer charity. Giving within your own monkeysphere, and being willfully ignorant of everything outside it, is what I am talking about.
Nah, I tried Ubuntu too.

The OpenBLAS package was missing on ARM, along with some other dependencies I needed for compilation.

At the end of the day, even with many tweaks and custom compilation flags, the instance was averaging below 1 token/sec as a Kobold Horde host, which is below the threshold to even be allowed as a llm host.
yes that is a good list of 20+ universities (if I throw in the prestigious UC's) out of... 1700 public institutions.

Pareto heuristics suggest there will be about 300 "good" universities that people compete over compared to the other 1300 we can't name.

It's not equivocation, it's a categorization of heteronormative and not-heteronormative.

Personally I suspect the issue here is that incest is the only form of sexual activity that we have a natural proclivity against, probably because of evolutionary pressure (as in, hard-wired into our DNA) against fucking blood relatives. Because a consistently-inbred population will breed itself into oblivion. People who fuck kids can still successfully reproduce and society trundles on.
They implemented a great component of those ideas. Seems like cause for at least some celebration, right? :)

> the devastating effects of the Atlantic slave trade, which significantly hindered their development

It was my understanding that most of the slaves traded were already slaves, so it wasn’t just plundering the continent to kidnap people.

I’m not particularly well studied about this. Am I wrong? What were the effects that hindered the continent’s development? Was it the incentive to capture slaves to trade led to more wars of capture/conquest?

Just want to chime in directly against the flow of negative comments re: security and say two things:

1) I too am exactly in your target audience and I'm psyched to check this out (I'm the solo tech operator of an ecom business and this will exactly scratch an itch I have)

2) I'll echo what I wrote in another comment: It is VERY HN to get concerned about exposing databases, and folks who are posting about the security concerns are not wrong, per se, but also, you are going down a path that many other SaaS apps have successfully gone down, and it's a feature users want and will pay for. So while you should absolutely make sure this is done properly and advise your users not just to expose their databases willy-nilly, don't get psyched out by folks telling you it's a hard no to have to connect a DB directly. Users want this, will pay for it, and you're wise for doing it.

These two talks are for a less mathematical audience.

The first explains the problem of measuring ecological diversity, and the problem with old, traditional measures like Shannon entropy or Gini-Simpson index. The second introduces the species similarity matrix Z and the viewpoint parameter q.

https://www.maths.ed.ac.uk/~tl/riken/

Now you know how to measure the diversity of a given community.

But if you are given the number of species and their similarity matrix Z, and the viewpoint parameter q, if you get to design a community (decide the relative abundance of each species), how would you maximize the diversity? Which distribution of relative abundances will maximize the measured diversity? The posted talk gives the answer, and the surprising result that the answer does not depend on q.
mildly unrelated: so when I ask GPT-4 a question, it is routed to an instance with about 166-194GB of memory?

> Further details on GPT-4's size and architecture have been leaked. The system is said to be based on eight models with 220 billion parameters each, for a total of about 1.76 trillion parameters, connected by a Mixture of Experts (MoE).

For a 7B parameter model using 4-8GB: Average = (4+8)/2 = 6GB Memory usage per parameter = 6/7 = ~0.857GB/B

For a 13B parameter model using 8-15GB: Average = (8+15)/2 = 11.5GB Memory usage per parameter = 11.5/13 = ~0.885GB/B

For a 30B parameter model using 13-33GB: Average = (13+33)/2 = 23GB Memory usage per parameter = 23/30 = ~0.767GB/B

For a 70B parameter model using 31-75GB: Average = (31+75)/2 = 53GB Memory usage per parameter = 53/70 = ~0.757GB/B

The average of these values is: (0.857 + 0.885 + 0.767 + 0.757)/4 = ~0.817 GB/B

Estimated memory usage = 220 * 0.817 = ~179.74GB

We've tried it your way for decades - where prisons are permanent storage for badly made humans - and it doesn't work. They fill up, cost the taxpayer and become yet another thing to exploit. Society looks the other way whilst they get mistreated. Obscenities like rape are constant grim realities of such facilities, and organizations like gangs thrive in them too. Recidivism rates are alarming to boot.

The point of prisons, which Americans consistently fail to grasp, given their penchant for cruelty and selfishness, is reform.

That's what "our responsibility" means. We need to take these broken people and try to rebuild them, because they, their parents and society failed them the first time. Not all of them can be helped, but not to try produces what we have now, which is an abomination.

Situation: people try to use these predictive text chatbots as search engines.

Problem: LLMs are not search engines. They extrapolate, interpolate, and approximate (so-called “hallucinations”) so they can always produce somewhat-plausible text completions.

Solution: Create a search engine so good at returning relevant results that even an LLM can make use of it… then go to significant lengths to plug that search engine into the LLM, preventing people from reading the search results directly.

Why not simply give people access to the search engine‽ People know how to use search engines!! This is the fifth time I've seen an article like this, and I'm still… baffled. It's https://xkcd.com/2021/ all over again.

Solar is cheaper anywhere you get a decent amount of sun. Much of the resistance to solar is not due to cost, it's political: all those places with big coal economies get pissed off when their services are no longer needed, and vote you out of office if you push renewables too hard. Ditto for oil.

Ask HN: Founding a remote-first startup – takeaways and tips?
I'm currently considering founding a new startup in a fully distributed fashion, where the first team members would be located across geographies and (to a less broad extent) across timezones.

A lot of the tips online about remote-first orgs are targeted towards orgs at a later stage where they already have a mature product and are focused on maintenance/growth. This new startup would be in the early discover (pre-product market fit) stage.

I'd like to hear experiences & tips from startup founders/employees that started from team member #1 as remote and before they found product-market fit.

What worked for you? What didn't? Would you found a remote-first startup again given the chance?

Other details, in case helpful to think about:

* NewCo's product would be in AI space and purely digital
* NewCo's customers would be globally spread out, with a decent concentration in San Francisco but otherwise very globally spread out

Thanks and keen to learn from the HN community!
Well dynamic linking and most things in unix is an afterthought by definition because the first unix system did not have them.

That doesn't seem to be what you mean though in context, but I'm not sure what you do mean. You don't like it or don't think it was designed well because dynamic linking is done in userspace?

> The descendants of those slaves are now much wealthier and better off by pretty much any metric than their relatives who were not enslaved

This is such a loud dog whistle, even deaf dogs can hear it.
I agree exactly. And what about people who’s families moved here in the last 140 years. They surely didn’t own slaves.

And who even gets reparations? If someone’s great great great grandmother was a black slave but every other relative was white, does this person get reparations?
I'm not saying it's new, but it's sorta fascinating - some young people have replaced religion with... astronomy.
The question to ask is "how many kids graduate high school vs. how many should".

Turns out the answer is interesting - about 50 years ago, the graduation rate for high school was around 50%. These days it's much higher (90% or more in some areas).

Does this mean the children is learning? Perhaps.

It also may represent a failure of our systems - in the past, not everyone needed a high school degree to be a functional member of society, and forcing those people to "graduate" may in fact be a net loss to society.

In other countries, this is explicit: people are tracked to "educational" vs. "vocational" career tracks earlier, and there is not the emphasis on graduation rates as a metric.
One of the basic principles in Western law, stretching back 700 years or so, is that prosecuting people not involved in a crime is unacceptable. The slaves and the enslaved are long dead. No one has legally owned slaves for 150+ years.

How do you apportion the taxes? Do new immigrants owe the same as people here generations? Do the descendants of Irish immigrants owe the same as descendants of slave owners? What about the black descendants of black slave owners, of whom there were over a thousand?

And how far does this go back? The Comanches were extremely brutal. They killed and enslaved many people from many tribes, especially the Apache. Should they be responsible for reparations to the Apache and other tribes they crushed?
There was a bit of a 180 in FL during 2021. One week the governor was announcing mass vaccinations at retirement communities, and the next week he was with volunteers giving shots of monoclonal antibodies at libraries and nurses protesting the vaccine requirements at their workplaces (presumably health clinics).

As the year progressed, there was a collective run on Ivermectin horse paste at the farm & feed stores, no wait to get a Delta booster vaccine at Walmart, and no small number of death threats being made against public health and local officials who retreated from the “liberal” mask and vax talking points.

Also, the lines were very short at Disney World.

> It leads to spooky actions at a distance.

I'll disagree on "spooky". If the type is ambiguous, the code will fail to compile. Contrapositively, that means that if the code compiles, the types aren't ambiguous. I find bidirectional type inference to be absolutely lovely (or at least Rust's implementation of it), and I wouldn't give it up.
How far away from the shore would you need to go? I imagine it would be fairly easy to pipe the brine a few miles off shore to deeper waters.

Greens have relented probably because there are safer ways to put the brine back into the ocean that don't disturb ecosystems all that much.
> which simply means that "being predictive" is not by itself dispositive of some underlying mechanism.

Right. I don’t see how any statistical analysis can tell you if a mechanism exists or what it is. Quite the opposite. The better you understand the mechanism of the process that generates your data points the higher quality your statistical analysis will be. And in the case of intelligence we know there must be an actual real underlying factor because some people are observably smarter than others.
Thanks to pointing that out ( about the doc )

I will take your word for it and try.
It is not a good start that they begin with a dictionary definition of Hallucinations. While the similarities to what a LLM does are apparent enough for the term to be used, LLMs are under no obligation to behave similar to the dictionary definition of Hallucinations.

In general facts are not the answer to Hallucinations. You can't possibly have every fact for every situation. The true solution to Hallucinations is figuring out how to make a model say 'I don't know"

Even if you live at home and stay on your parents plan in state tuition is 14k. Add another 2k for books and at a minimum your talking 16k. That's a pretty big chunk if your only at 150k for a family of 4.

If I was to propose something I'd make in state tuition fully free for residents, and if that cost too much maybe make people do the first 2 years at a community college. Honestly I credit community college with turning my life around. I ended up graduating from a state school and I'm very happy with my degree! It's not in computer science, but after a very long journey I feel it's something to be proud of.

The best part about college is your free to take time off and finish later.

If you have kids yes. If you don't then you could still being paying for some rich kid's food. Still I would have no problem with this since the alternative is to means test which is just wasteful bureaucracy. Plus I am perfectly willing to subsidize the one rich kid so the 10 poor ones can eat.
Honestly, who gives a shit? We are a society, not a bunch of White people and Asian people and Black people and Hispanic people.

> If we could implement a race-blind affirmative action program that got bipartisan support, could we not solve poverty faster than if we continue to alienate one side by insisting on excluding poor white people?

The issue is that it's hard to make something "race blind". Not without essentially making a lottery system in the process with how little data you're given. The moment you give high school data, you give approximate data on your area, which means your area's demographic and economonics. If we could have a world where standardize grades and national test scores it may be possible to pull it off (btw: national test scores also correlate with income levels, especially since they cost money/time to take and can be taken multiple times. IQ tests have also shown their bias). But as is it is a utopic dream.

>Why should a goal of an affirmative action system be to be able to make the accept/reject call based on a quick glance at the applicant's photo?

It's not just a photo. your race is considered a public statistic. You can opt to say "prefer not to answer" but I imagine 95%+ of applicants to report it.

It's the exact opposite of finances, and it's not as easy to grab that data even as a public institution. I don't think submissions offices even get that data to consider. Should they get that data? I don't know. I think we can imagine a dozen ways that can help and also be a complete catastrophe. That's a much larger topic of discussion.
This is pure spin. Toyota cannot make this claim for every region in the world where they sell cars. It is especially disingenuous when they have been pushing their hydrogen vehicles and there is not enough hydrogen production either, in any region, because it makes no sense to overproduce when there is no market.
My grocery store has a free water fountain (near the bathroom area) where I can drink cold water until my belly is full. They also have bottled water options starting at $0.50.

I'm an educator, and a social democrat (approximately) so "yes"?

What saddens me is that grand (and simple) plan "free education for all" gets watered down and chipped away to "free education for those who have money or connections" and later attempts to shore it up offten amount to "free education for $special_group". While I don't deny $special_group should get free education, what gets me is all the special-pleading going on.
