Seems like a classic case of a term of art overlapping with normal English terminology.

Knowing that you will be doing further training on a provided model (even "just" extensive fine-tuning), one would want to distinguish the training done before you get your hands on it, from the training you do. An obvious word for that previous training is pre-training, which unfortunately conflicts with a term of art.
But they’ve got a point. And they’re one of the first to market.

Yeah I’d get it if their solution was only tangentially applicable (it’s directly applicable). I certainly don’t want YC:HN to turn into GPT generated ad-city either.

If you met Feross, you’d agree he and his team are deserving of the credit for finding a timely and constructive solution to supply chain problems without filling OpenAI with your IP. He lives the kind of values we respect on YC:HN.

I wasn't so sure, there's 3 comments mentioning it and 2 mis-capitalize it in a context where it could be a proper noun...but I'm leaning you're correct
> instead the employees often say it back to me, which I feel is much more culturally "real" than me saying it.

It is!

My problem is when companies feel the need to say it. If it's actually true, they wouldn't have to.

Are you saying superconducting railguns could possibly cause problems?!?
A first stop could be that the LLM becomes good enough at economic manipulation to pay humans to maintain and upgrade itself.

A possible next stop is that the LLM becomes better than humans at designing new algorithms and hardware.
If you're not sure what a superconductor is, basically anything that conducts electricity has resistance in it.

That resistance turns the energy that is being transmitted through the conductor into heat, essentially wasting it for useful purposes unless you're running a hair dryer or oven.

For instance, one of the reasons why power plants have to be near the cities they serve, aside from practical logistics, is that if you send electricity over power lines, you lose some of that electricity to the resistant line drop, the voltage decreases over time, and ultimately you could lose all of your usable power to heat.

However, that changes when superconductors come into play. Many power plants already use them for short distances where the heat is high and the line drop is also high, but if you replaced every power line in America with superconducting lines a power plant in Florida could sell extra spare power to Alaska with no loss between the two plants. (This is in theory, it is still likely that there would be losses where the lines are split and connected, but that would still be far less than the greater than 100% voltage loss over 7,000 miles of traditional copper lines that you would expect.)

Room temperature superconductors would provide many benefits aside from power transmission as well. Electric vehicles would be more efficient with power coils made from them, allowing more of the electricity from the batteries to be turned directly into vehicle movement.

Cell phones would heat up less with superconducting wires, losing less of their battery power to heat and lasting longer.

Computers would run longer. CPUs would heat up less, requiring less cooling to operate at higher speeds and less power to run closer to the atomic limit of processing.

If it is proven that this works, then we may be very close to the system by which superconductivity works, and solving that may allow for hundreds or thousands of compounds exhibiting superconductivity to be made for myriad applications, allowing for us to live closer to the way we tend to while being a bit greener in the process.
It does mean they’ll hold onto them, it doesn’t mean they won’t buy more.
I contracted at a company once which operated like a family.

Once you got hired, it was really difficult to get fired. So much so, most people there hadn't heard about anyone ever getting fired. Eventually, someone heard through the grapevine what a firing offense was: Getting caught having sex on the company campus with a coworker. But! The first time was a warning.

That company had soooo much money to burn. Lots of people did not like to work, they just kind of screwed around all day. Family members of the founders got to use the private jets (of which there was a fleet of a dozen) to do whatever they liked.

I won't name names, but the company name rhymed with "Spamway".

Yes! That was exactly what I was thinking of! I love one of the comments - "But might this physical stretching then also allow room temperature superconductors, if not why not?"

They were thinking of stretching at a macro scale (like bending a bar of stuff), rather than essentially "stretching" at the chemical scale which is what I understand they did here. Super cool!
We created a funky little OS on top of seL4 & Rust that's most certainly not Unix-like, and is more akin to an RTOS-like approach to building & bundling software. More for purpose-built appliances than a general purpose OS.
I think there's several levels. As a first step, I'd appreciate reducing the risk of javascript extracting contents from outside the browser. A second step could be to use more granular core scheduling within firefox, to prevent sharing cores that shouldn't be shared. A process/thread hierarchy can create multiple core scheduling groups.
You don't have an opinion of a better system?
I'm less concerned with reversing hashes and more concerned with tracking via the attlestation provider.

What is stopping them from recording the value returned to you that is then passed to the site you tried to visit? Does the data provided to the integrity checker allow for identification? Could the original vendor pass some value to use in the integrity check to prevent replay attacks, and could that value itself encode your personal information?
here you get the wait and you get to pay the private price, on top of your insurance.

At least for me, regular medical care needs scheduled out some months, doctors have poor availbility. I get one freebie a year via insurance, everything else is about $50.

For minor injuries, or medical stuff that needs same-day eyes, but not a full emergency department, there is urgent care. You wait as long as it takes, in my area, usually 30-90 minutes, pay $100 and they may or may not be able to help. Minor prescriptions and stitches they can usually do

For major stuff, such as broken bones, heart attack, psychosis, whatever, there is the ER. You wait as long as you wait, and it's about $300 for the initial visit, though this can climb rapidly if you need to stay.

That's about it for your insured options.

Your uninsured options are similar, but more expensive. If you are extremely poor, or old, or both you may have a semi-free option with medicare and medicaid, but that is more complicated than I care to type out.

Interesting how they bundle chrome, android, and pixel with various web services such as search, yt, maps

Kind of odd considering pixel is a completely different kind of product. It does make sense because there's likely synergy between first group and second group, but also it makes me wonder how they calculate the profitability of a product like pixel

Also it makes me wonder whether the recent proposal of the chrome integrity API will positively or negatively effect these numbers long term given sufficient backlash
It depends on how you choose to cut headcount.

Cutting low performers is something we can all agree on, with exceptions to long-tenured employees who are in a temporary low-performance state (divorce, health issues, etc).

At many modern companies, headcount is cut often to increase the stock price for the next earnings report, so leadership can offload shares. Even if the company performance suffers in the long term, they were able to sell their bags at a high price.

An example of a 'family' style company is Kiewit and it isn't anything like the one you described. They are famously aggressive about low-performers. Every employee has ownership shares in the company. You are expected to pick up and move when the company tells you to move. They've never had a negative earnings quarter in the entire history the company... which is notable.
Yeah sorry I edit a lot. I'll bump up my delay.

Tables, views, and CTEs are all tools that can be used to make SQL more readable. They are all valid alternatives to subqueries in JOINs which is the only thing I would say you should "never" do.

I tend to use all of them. I create tables with an optimized (typically star) schema for my purposes. My date dimensions are almost always views on top of a list of dates. I also use views to create a ~"feature store" that pre-joins the underlying star schema. I can then write "simple" analytical queries that utilize CTEs. Those CTEs tend to not have joins and they tend to only apply relevant filters so the final select is clear and concise.
There are many parts of the world though.

It later revs of the OS (3.x), it did support graphics cards ("retargetable graphics.") These were only usable for applications that did not access the hardware directly, of course. And then you're obviously not taking advantage of any of the custom chips.
you can't really do comparisons like that as there are other currents which overlap with the overturning one and they won't stop even if that one stops due to them getting a lot of their energy from earth rotation. Through depending on which you look at they might become a bit hotter/colder.

Also geography making it more, or less, likely for constant wind from the inland affecting the wetter can also affect the normal expected wetter noticeable.

E.g. UK being a island means there are much less affected by inland wetter moving over to them then many typical Canadian comparison places. (And from-inland wind is the main cause of very hot summer or very cold winter wetter in many places e.g. cold weeks in north Germany, or e.g. the main source of Blizzards in the US).

So IMHO comparisons like "this city is on the same latitude and also on the cost so it will have similar weather" without the overturning current are pointless (which doesn't mean that they can't happen to be correct, but they as much can happen to be fully wrong).
YT premium is now $13.99.

Netflix starts at $6.99.

That's exactly double if you ignore the missing pennies.

Netflix Standard is $15.49 though, if we're comparing without ads.
This is probably good advice, generally speaking. But I know there are exceptions to this. What I figured out very quickly is that most people end up needing to take this approach due to the problems you described.

I've been programming professionally for 10 years. And even in my early years, I could code all day without running and normally it works as I expected or if an error occurs it's quick to fix.

Sorry if that sounds like bragging, but I'm sure there are others out there that are like this- just saying it's not an absolute truth, but I believe it to be generally true.
I mean that's almost exactly what happened with cold fusion, not faking so much as convincing yourself. What's the Feynman quote? "The first rule is do not fool yourself and you're the easiest person to fool" - something like that anyway.

To me it seems quite nice, but really just trivially different from SQL - like if Ruby was 'friendlier syntax that transpiles to Python', meh? You'd use whichever you happened to learn first and not bother with the other. (That's often true even though it's more than that of course.)

The examples arbitrarily make SQL look more verbose:

SELECT
id,
first_name,
age
FROM
employees
ORDER BY
age
LIMIT
10

Yes! Of course I'd rather:

from employees
select {id, first_name, age}
sort age
take 10

..but wait, actually the SQL could've been:

select id, first_name, age
from employees
order by age
limit 10

and it's more verbose by a character or two... (no braces, but 'order by' vs 'sort')
I agree that it can still be used in a lot of applications, but this would probably restrict its use in everyday items, such as over-the-counter magnetic bearings,long-distance transmission lines, or consumer electronics (RoHS).

Lead batteries for cars are a bit special, as the whole supply chain goes both ways for recycling, while batteries are rather self-contained and not usually exposed to harsh environments.

Though I suspect you are right in the end, as it's a matter of judging the risk vs reward, I wouldn't be surprised if other materials with a similar structure end up performing similarly.

Pb is also quite hard to use in integrated circuits, as far as I know. I am no material scientist, but it could be due to its low melting point or tendency to contaminate other metals.
The idea of reversible computing is that if you only add heat in a few instructions, you can have a much more economical computer. And magnetronics is a good candidate for implementing this, so yeah, computers that use a lot less power are an application too.
the inflation rate at June 2022 is not what you should use to normalize the growth of a company, YoY, at June 2023. You're off by a year. The US YoY inflation rate for this period was around 3% going off memory.

Until a few years ago each CPU generation brought so much performance improvement that you would actually save money by replacing the server, because it would cut down your operational expenses (power, rack space, cooling, ...) per unit of compute. This is not so true anymore.

I think (from the outside looking in) many lesswrongers are slowly coming around from the "paperclipper" scenario to something more gradual, in response to how the tech seems to be developing currently. More along the lines of "we hand over bigger and bigger parts of running the world to AI systems and this gradually leads to less and less human involvement (until such time as the intelligent systems that run the world see humans as an unnecessary interference that can be done away with)". Something like that at least.

They use both liquid helium and liquid nitrogen. The nitrogen is used to cool the helium. On MRI scanners that have come to market in the last few years, helium volume has been reduced at least 100x and is now only a few liters (i.e. previously >1000L and requiring frequent top off to <1L and requiring refill only after emergency/full power loss).

Note that "Doesn't use cookies" != "Doesn't require a cookie banner" (the opposite also isn't true). The tool just doesn't collect any PII. IIRC, it can even add a session cookie that just tells it "This user was on the page before", making the analytics more useful without personally identifying users and thus still not requiring a cookie banner.
I haven't touched much physics since college. Could the Meisner effect be observed in a material that is not superconducting? Or would that be new physics if it were the case?

It’s often not even true that Americans pay a lower tax amount or rate, unless you’re at the richest ends of the scale. (~25 years ago, my wife and I both made about $50–55k; she ended up paying a lower total amount of tax in Canada than I did in the US, and I had the shitty American healthcare system with $15 copays. Needless to say, I emigrated.)

There are regressive taxes (e.g., sales taxes / VAT) which are certainly lower in America than most of the rest of the world, and some American states deliberately starve their government of income so that they cannot be obligated to provide basic services and instead shift things to user fees.

Agree to a big extent. Rust has lots of methods, because their traits work best or most habitually with methods. So I see a comparison of Rust x.min(y) vs Python min(x, y).

The Rust x.min(y) to me is so asymmetric. min(x, y) conveys the symmetry of the operation much better, x and y are both just elements. (And the latter is how it can be used in Python. In Rust, you can call Ord::min(x, y) to get the symmetry back, but it is less favoured right now for some reason.)
May I ask: how do you moderate this giant stuff ? Manually, with machine, from reports ?

Everybody but the professor. Prof. did no wrongdoing.
When I was young, I worked at a company that said things like "we are family" - and knew exactly how to manipulate with it.

I'd had a pretty rough year, my last year there - a recent breakup, a deteriorating domestic situation, and a death march at work. Management was aware of all three. In the end, I decided to leave the company. The attempt to retain me was not more money, or really anything around comp - it was something along the lines of (a rough quote): "You really shouldn't leave. We're your family. In times like yours, people can push the people closest to them away, to their own self detriment." And I was shared some links to psychology sites, talking about how folks in crisis can push close loved ones away from them.

Being young and naive, I gave some profuse thanks for enlightening me, promised to stay, reneged on the offer with the other employer... and a few days later, thought, "what on earth did they just do?!"

Needless to say, I put my notice back in, took the other job, and never looked back. The silver lining is that I now have a pretty good radar for management using the "family" argument in manipulative ways.
The powdered lead seems like something you need to be careful with tho. Quite toxic.
A little deeper comment is one should compare the costs associated with a supply reduction vs the cost of the storage needed to mitigate the disruption vs how often that happens.

The argument that you can't afford 7 days of renewable storage is just restating that the marginal cost of fossil fuel storage is lower than the cost of electric storage. While ignoring the ability to curtail demand.
Good thinking. I'm guessing journalists lurk here so we'll probably find out soon enough.
I think the chance of this working reliably is precisely zero. There are multiple trivial attacks against this and it can not work if the user has any kind of access to token level data (where he could trivially write his own truly random choice). And if there is a non-water marking neural network with enough capacity to do simple rewriting you can easily remove any watermark or the user does the minor rewrite himself.
