This article doesn't make any sense. Skimming over it, I don't see that it's even about "before the Big Bang," which is a nonsense phrase. Nor do I see why it's arguing the point that our universe has even been empty, because nobody has ever argued that it was.

Ah, it's talking about the future, when it might be "empty", and explaining to the reader how it won't actually be empty. That's weird.

Ah, it's now circling back to "cosmic inflation... Before the hot Big Bang occurred." What? That is one of the most wrong things I've ever heard about the early universe.
Your post just got me to finally donate to internet archive!

And yet no one sees enough value in Slack to pay for it. I type this on a mac, which has built in notes, but I pay for my own notes solution. My company uses Zoom DESPITE paying for gsuite. If Slack offered enough value people would pay for it. Unfortunately Slack's just not that good.
Sometimes that's true, but in the case of a fork especially when the original is still around, I think that's not always true.

Some people use very specialized versions of Linux as a political choice, for example.
Interesting. By no means am I a nuclear expert, so there's a high likelihood I wasn't measuring what I thought I was measuring. What I thought I experienced consistently was a few extra CPM when I placed a bunch of bananas next to my off-the-shelf Geiger counter. Wish I kept track of what I actually measured. I'll have to try again.
I was one of the people who said power is wasted in wires.

When the charged stored inside a chip needs to change (like go from high to low), that energy associated with the charge needs to go somewhere. Currently most of the charge is dissipated in the wire and some of it within the transistor.

If the wires have no resistance, the transistor will be the one dissipating the energy, not the energy simply disappears.

So technically both options are right, but my position is the “technically right, but practically wrong” position lol

That said if the interconnects are less resistive, the switching process becomes more efficient and less power will be wasted than the bare minimum required.

Cheap admins, not lazy.

IT Admins often have their hands tied by corporate bureaucracy that makes a DMV jealous.
After reading this, I’m still not quite sure what “Design Thinking” is? It seems like a fancy term for focusing your design on the user, but then I don’t understand the hype nor the hate. Maybe it’s just hype hate? What am I missing?
Good point! We got mixed feedback on this. Some people really loved it and some felt similar to what you mentioned. Transparently, we left it as is, as it was intriguing the audience. However point taken, will take this as inputs to future changes, if any :)
I've worked at places that actually _rely_ on Teams away/online to determine if folks are actually working...
Author here and I agree actually. The quote was the first thing I wrote and I never went back to consider if it still made sense for the post as a whole. Given the title (which is maybe more combative than I intended?) I don't think I need it. I'm planning on watching the CEO's announcement today and updating the post. Unless there's a better use for the quote, it'll be gone in the next edit. Thanks for the feedback!
At least in Europe, an order of magnitude (or two, depending on country) more people die from the cold than from the heat[0]. Going by the numbers, if green energy policy keeps summer temperatures down but makes energy more expensive[1], it will kill more people.

Exactly. Doing all this math when the main estimator says X is exhausting. Obviously I use percentage now but there is a problem with that estimate and a lot of people just want to pretend everything is fine.
I don't know much about the first one, but the affiliate codes I'm fine with.

A browser company that tries to monetize in ways that doesn't weaponize my info against me is much preferred.

That said, I can't personally separate his politics from his product, which is why I use Firefox.
I'd much rather have a Battlefield Wall on my property in the US than a Ribbon Wall or Crinkle Crankle Wall. The latter two sound ridiculous. I really like "Serpentine Wall", but it sounds a little too technical for everyday conversation with nontechnical people
And driving to the store is basically just like walking there yourself!
It's typically considered an anti-American, anti-freedom ideology in the US to require people to carry any sort of documents, including ID.

Of course, this idea is slowly being eroded by authoritarian ideas and if you are not white (in the southwest US at least) you better have an ID unless you want to risk being unlawfully detained/arrested by border guards or police. This has been a big deal in some states for quite a while now.

But it used to be that in the US, having to show authorities an ID was a horror straight out of the USSR or East Germany.
Thanks! I've corrected the link in the GP comment.
I'm confused why you are confused.
A lot of people don't know what a browser is, or what the Internet is, per se. To them the Internet is the Google search bar on their phone.
I was confused too. Title and first part suggested they were trying to suppress discussion about range issues. Then the rest was about cancelling service appointments. I'm pretty sure this is just a hit piece.
> And over half the Chinese economy is state-run.

Yes? That number is decreasing, is the point.

> What aristocracy?

The owners of those public-invested private companies. The state didn't decide to buy a majority stake in company A over company B because company A was meritocratically superior; the state had a personal connection to the ownership of company A.
This article is explicitly claiming to be science.
What would be about what you'd get if you made a sawtooth out of straight sections, pretty sure that's quite a bit longer than a sine wave would be.
Well. I wish we could sit in front of a bicycle wheel and discuss it. Because I have a feeling we are shooting arrows at different targets. As a mountain biker I'm more interested in what happens when an extreme amount of load is applied to the wheel, not the model with assumptions applied. Definitely a difficult concept to discuss with only text. Anyways.. glad to have a good discussion with you about bicycle wheels. Don't find many people like you. :)
I'm an On-U Sound obsessive to some degree (I'm an acquaintance with one of Adrian's sound engineers, and I've met a few of the lads from Tackhead) but man the guy gets around. Just this year were new albums from Horace Andy, African Head Charge and this week Creation Rebel announced their first album in 30+ years.

The more post-punk reissues (e.g. New Age Steppers) is also right up my alley.

But yes, I got the impression early on that Sinead had more than passing familiarity with roots and dub. It just seemed to be always at least at the edges of every album in one way or another. On "Faith + Courage" it was quite prominent.
I think they think the big bang means the moment the cosmic microwave background was created, and are confusing the big bang with recombination (which made the universe transparent). Why else would they suggest that inflation happened before the big bang?
Same. Finding out the politics and personal views of some of the people I've worked with would curl most people's toes! But they show and and work without making much of a fuss. In fact they have been some of my favorite people to work with.
This is amazing. Really needed something like this to standardize all my different AI APIs!

On a side note - I love how quickly your team is shipping! Do keep it going!
Same here, I'm happy Google Eve user since 2017 or was it 2018. The little beast has 16GB of RAM, and initially I was using crouton, but one crostini got better I switched to it. There are little things that are missing:

- No idea how to compile/link/load kernel modules. This is rarely needed, but can happen.
- No Vulkan support yet, OpenGL / ES seems to be fine.

Mmm.. that's pretty much it... And yes, Bonuses:

- Android!
- As posted above said - web browsing, NetFlix (DRM support)

And lately, since I've returned to the office and left my Windows machine at home while waiting for beefier at the office, started using Chrome Remote Desktop and that works super well with additional huge monitor and first time noticed how well the laptop also supports multiple monitors.

As last bonus: It can flip around and become an "iPad". Perfect when we were visiting our niece and I gave their 2 year old to watch youtube kinds on it.

The airbags needing a software update in the first place is terrifying.
Was LLaMA2 potentially trained on the raw text from this page? https://huggingface.co/datasets/tatsu-lab/alpaca_eval/viewer...
Umbrel's homepage seems uncomfortably slick, they're selling hardware but the OS is free to use. The app store seems to have more cryptocurrency apps than I'd expect from a general-purpose self-hosting service, and lacks Miniflux, Breezewiki, and Rimgo, though it has Invidious, Nitter, and Syncthing. And the OS seems to live under a noncommercial-only license (https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel/blob/master/LICENSE.md). Overall the vibes seem to run somewhat in conflict with the "by the community, for the community" ethos I'm more interested in. Perhaps if I have the free time (haha when?) I might see if I can polish up Sandstorm for my personal uses, or if it's more work than juggling Docker containers or AUR packages.
Execute none brown traffickers when?
I got sshole for the same reason.
How would you get worse performance?

Currently, the lock granularity is the entire database. This makes it smaller.

The reason this isn't transactions by default is correctness concerns for programs.
From the horse’s mouth:

> What does the name "Slashdot" mean?

> "Slashdot" is an intentionally obnoxious URL. When Rob registered the domain http://slashdot.org, he wanted a URL that was confusing when read aloud. (Try it!)

Rumours about UFOs being hidden by the US government have also been in the wings for a while - like 70, 80 years.
Plus they may start to see in person traffic soar. I won't have signed software, so now I'll go to the bank for all transactions while also filing FTC complaints.

I imagine many elderly folks that haven't kept their systems current or updated may also face the same issue.
Maybe the US is different then, because here in Canada auto mechanics are licensed after a ~4 year registered apprenticeship.
You seem pretty experienced in the hypothetical motivations of hypothetical creatures with the hypothetical technology to travel between stars!

Or are you just assuming that the hypothetical aliens have minds and motivations that would be comprehensible by humans?

Hell, I bet you if I sat down I could come up with at least 10 motivations that might make sense for humans to do the same stealth thing in an inverted situation. I feel like you're not engaging in good faith.
"unless you chart a specific trip"
> That seems to cover all your cases?

It doesn't. LLMs are trained on literature. Women and people of color are severely underrepresented in medical literature.

E.g., patients of color are rarely selected for clinical trials etc.
> despite having a much better product

Not my experience.
I imagine that if you take the time to specialize it, you suddenly have a model that is better than anything from the large players on all the cases that you care about.

But, well, I am currently not hyped enough about it to actually try.
All these frameworks are ways of turning what should be common sense into bureaucratic procedures that can be used without needing to think independently and thus more widely used. "Lean" is another example of this. They serve the dual purpose of sounding better to leadership types who don't like the idea of just studying the problem and coming up with a solution, and requiring less experience and autonomy to execute.
You're asking people not to be people. Having reactions and opinions and shooting the shit is what we do, and part of how we learn.

HN is an internet watercooler. It's natural and fine for people to talk about the latest interesting things—that's what this place is for, and there's no need to be right all the time.

That’s stability
Now you’re reacting to hyperbole with more hyperbole.

It’s more like OP just wants to use rhetoric to have you ignore and silence Brendan Eich. Which I still think is going too far, even if I disagree with his (apparent) private political views.
Correct. The existing way is (trivially) serializable transactions.
They're good for selling people on your product. I think for a web framework it's a bit style over substance however.
I wonder how much money I'd be making by now if I always wore nothing but black turtlenecks. There seems to be something to it in terms of convincing others that one is more competent than they are.
Where is the source that says one is caused by the other
Nice. “Power cool” sounds so much better than “safety squints.”
Jo (pronounced a bit like your without the r sound) is affirmative in lots of European languages, including Finnish and Czech (it's spelled joo in Finnish iirc)
We (in the US) need a national right to repair law. There are too many legal tactics companies can use to defeat state laws.
This seems like a very disconnected way to view things. There are unpleasant aspects of Japanese society, but it's not obvious you can just remove those while keeping the positive aspects.

The US is indeed more dynamic, but as has often been pointed out, that's partly due to coming into existence with a continent's worth of very lightly defended resources only a few hundred years ago. If you win a huge lottery jackpot you will probably enjoy a very comfortable life afterwards, but it doesn't mean you became brilliant at economics.
That gets affected by the kind of people driving the car, and just because I buy a certain car doesn't mean I'm like the other people who bought it. Also, too easy to hack that.
Really? I thought it was pretty clear that the author thinks Design Thinking is composed of vague ideas and vapid phrases. Moreover, the author cites a significant number of noteworthy designers that make compelling arguments that Design Thinking is nonsense that produces a skewed picture of the design process.

I think your comment dismisses the article without giving a compelling reason why.
I'm just saying, you're not meaningfully moving towards the goalpost with this.
Possibly. Might need to be further optimized in size and 4-bit quantisation, perhaps and then you have a scaleable and fast self-hosted AI model.

Lets just hope that there won’t be any embarrassing vulnerabilities coming out of this when someone could prompt the model to reveal its own environment variables or API keys or the internal prompt that it is using.

But it seems the $0 free AI models are eating OpenAI’s lunch and Meta so far is winning the race to zero.

Pretty much anything that's widely available to the masses suffers from the introduction of a higher price for better experience competitor. It's a matter of distillation; People who can afford the better experience will pay extra for it, leaving only those without other options using the original service.

In the case of greyhounds, the competitor was air travel. Before the rise of discount airlines, flying was prohibitively expensive for a good portion of society. Now, oftentimes the only people who take longhaul busses are people who are either unable, or unwilling, to pay an extra ~50-100 bucks to save themselves several hours.
If he's truly a novice, then he's not an anything-guy yet (hopefully). Just teach him what you know and let him to discover GUI tools by himself if he's so inclined.
The dataset seems a bit too specific in some places such as "cocktail bartender" and "green coffee buyer".
My biggest critique of design thinking is that it has this Taylorist elitism (designer observes how a user does something) sorta built into it, and as a consequence, it caters to new users rather than power users. In other words, there is no consideration that the most effective tools actually require some learning and expertise to master them.

IMHO it's better if the designer becomes the user, by actually learning the particular discipline for which the thing is being designed, rather than just observing an expert. Kind of like method acting.

LLaMA2 seems to compete with ChatGPT 3.5, which is great. It's nowhere near as large as GPT-4 so I would not expect it to be competitive with that.

GPT-4 level models that regular people can run with a reasonable hardware budget are going to require innovations in optimization and model efficiency beyond just quantizing weights. Rumor has it that GPT-4 is a "committee" of ~220G models, which would require ~128GiB VRAM at 4-bit quantization to run each model.
Gosh yeah, I guess there's no room for consideration of magnitude.
GP carries concealed, so by definition you wouldn't know. If you did know, then it's no longer concealed and that's a different issue.

But (depending on where you live) you'd also be surprised how many coworkers carry guns with them. At one company I was shocked. HR put a policy prohibiting concealed carry, and damn near 80% of my team took serious issue with it. It felt like I had accidentally walked into an NRA meeting or something. There were never any issues, and we tended to get into some heated arguments at that place. Turns out most gun carriers recognize and respect the gun and don't just pull it out and start shooting people every time they get offended.
Hey, it's me! I'm mostly valuable because I'm the only one on my project who hasn't quit at this point so I can help guide all the new people, including new project managers and tech leads. Even though I don't get much actual work done I'm there when they need to ask questions and that seems to be good enough. In fact if I had a remote position instead of in-office, I would probably meet this "lazy girl job" definition.

The video of “levitation” is one of the things that makes me, a complete ignoramus of the subject matter, skeptical.

https://sciencecast.org/casts/suc384jly50n

All other instances of “quantum levitation” that I have seen has a “locked in” effect: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ws6AAhTw7RA .

Whereas the material in this video seems to bounce and warble in a way that appears to me more akin to standard static or magnetic repulsion.

Hope I’m wrong.
Does heating in internal combustion engine cars really affect fuel consumption? My assumption was that most cabin heat was waste heat from the engine, that would otherwise be vented out? Given the dismal efficiency of ICE, shouldn't it be enough to keep a cabin warm even in quite cold climates?
Another option - although that depends on availability - would be roadside assistance, that can ironically bring a diesel generator to your car to give it some charge.
It depends on the eval, but I think it's fair to say that it's close. Here is the AGI Eval results organized into a table w/ averages (also I put in the new Hermes LLama2 13B model as well: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kT4or6b0Fedd-W_jMwYp...

It beats out ChatGPT in every category except SAT-Math. We definitely need harder benchmarks.

I think the range is inflated, but I can get close to it by driving like an absolute grandpa. I think it's possible, but not realistic.
MacOS went full circle here at least with regards to text: In the new MacOS versions, if you screenshot text there's automatic OCR, so when you receive a screenshot of some text, you can copy it again!

It's non-trivial to implement that for something like SVG's, but if UI developers had anticipated this use case, we might have gotten a remedy with the introduction of raster graphics.
People work on their own cars and have done so for at least a hundred years. Using technical means to prevent people from doing their own repairs, or from hiring someone of their choice to do the repair, is a relatively new thing.
I don’t know how to square this with the fact that I routinely ask GPT-4 for code and get back answers that are in fact correct. You’re making it sound like it’s purely random, like I’m just getting back a string of zhrueksnbd8373&;! or something.
Can anyone recommend a decent book on linux firewalls, iptables and the like? Every time I wade into this I feel I'm missing to much base knowledge to make good decisions.
I have only one real complaint:
- I can't find any newer chromebook laptop with 32GB of RAM (or even 16GB, apart from mine). Feel like 32GB is going to make it a lot better to use for development.
There is one: "The agreement between GPT-4 and humans reaches 85%, which is even higher than the agreement among humans (81%). This means GPT-4’s judgments closely align with the majority of humans. We also show that GPT-4’s judgments may help humans make better judgments. During our data collection, when a human’s choice deviated from GPT-4, we presented GPT-4’s judgments to humans and ask if they are reasonable. Despite different views, humans deemed GPT-4’s
judgments reasonable in 75% of cases and are even willing to change their choices in 34% of cases."[1]

The benchmark I care about the most for my development workflow is on structured output.

Paul Gauthier made this benchmark [1] to measure correct git diffs. If you ask GPT-4 for help with your code, it can output a change in a git diff more reliably than 3.5.

My hope is that we can do that with Llama 2.

> In safety-critical and highly-regulated systems like automotive and health care, there's a meaningful regulatory interest in ensuring that the devices as sold and authorized to be on the road (or in patients' hospital rooms) don't get modified in dangerous ways.

On the other hand, a Minority Report future where "your" car answers to a different master, or you don't have the right or ability to control your own medical implants and prosthetics, is terrifying. Given that we've lived for almost a century in a world where cars can be modified in unlicensed ways, I'll go with the devil we know.
House Judiciary panel plans contempt proceedings for Mark Zuckerberg
Yeah, I can imagine it seemed like a good idea at the time. But it probably could have been done differently and I definitely think it should be fixed now!
It's not even production because of that assumption. It's "sum of prices paid" basically
