I've worked on the CS side of new material discovery.

The tricky thing is that you don't actually have that much data so ML is not even close to plug and play. If you want to get results you end up needing to pair ML with a lot of theory and some tricky algorithms to help narrow the search space and even then that space is huge.

Progress is being made but I think we're still at least 5-10 years from CS providing a real inflection in materials discovery.

I’m asking on a legitimate basis. I am not involved in the science world and only know about Nature as a publication from high school and college. The way Nature was described to gave me the sense that you weren’t going to have a paper published unless you had some surprising results, and that didn’t include the null hypothesis.

If that’s not the case for this publication then I would appreciate if someone showed me how they changed in the past decade
Its really time for some competition. Either AMD or some chinese company like 'more threads' need to speed up and get something on the market to break the Nvidia dominance. Nvidia is showing already some nasty typical evil behavior that has to be stopped. I know not easy with fully booked partners at Samsung/tmct/etc
right, but money
The journals reputation will be dinged if it comes to light that they have not adequately performed their due diligence. Which, as has been explained above, does not include replication.

If you require replication for publication practically nothing will get published ever. Once published, others will attempt to replicate, and it is the authors' reputation on the line if nobody manages to replicate it following the paper and consulting with the authors.
What you write is exactly what baffles me. You think I'm baffled because I don't understand how it works but it seems that I do, and that you don't seem to realize that it works in baffling ways makes it more depressing. There's debt being created by service or product changing hands but you just put up a sign and refuse accepting legal tender to pay that debt? What?
How do you do pca on dimension 2M?
I mean in the sense of expanding the macro. It doesn't look at the type of operand at the macro expansion step, it simply replaces it with the _Generic() function call, which contains all the expressions, and each expression is parsed, and thus must be valid.
I guess op meant "vec(ABC)=kron(B.T,A)vec(C)", and my attempt at explaining it would be:

If you take the result of transforming the columns vectors in the C matrix by AB and vectorize it you get the same as vectorizing first C and then transforming it by a block matrix obtained as the Kronecker product of B transposed and A.

The significance is that it performs a reduction of matrix calculus to vector calculus (i.e., it shows that you can convert any matrix calculus operation/formula/statement into a vector calculus operation/formula/statement).
It is a well researched report on the GPU availability crisis. The song is funny, especially Mark riding a LLaMA and the cabaret dance.
Ha I think you get it. The only moat is either user engagement, sales or sufficient sophistication of otherwise known techniques. There is not dark arts magic moat.
But it's exactly why I enjoy ChatGPT so much. It gives wrong responses all the time and improve it according to your suggestion. I presume this "apologizing" language is just here to help the user to continue the improvement spiral, and use the product in a good way, not just like a google search, you need to keep the interaction running.

Also I found some command that ChatGPT is interpretating like command lines. Like when I send by mistake the letter "c", ChatGPT interpreted like "Correct me that code you just sent me" and send me a corrected version without surrounding text.
Oh no, another one of those tinfoil hats BCashers that think that Blockstream has taken over the BTC-Core team, when it's not the case (see https://s3.cointelegraph.com/storage/uploads/view/acd600e03b... , from this article: https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitmex-research-unveils-who-f... ).

What do you mean by sound? Mathematically sound means "there exists a model validating it", and of course it exists, but so what? If you mean you can bound the probability of error, then in your formulation you actually can't.
Only the 8 bit BASIC fundamentals.

Original BASIC was actually developed with a JIT compiler, only the 8 bit home versions were purely interpreted, and mainframe BASIC already supported structured programming and AOT compilation by the time 8 bit home computers were taking over, e.g. VAX BASIC.

I think many of us that started on 8 bit as kids, and eventually used something else on 16 bit computers aren't aware of this.

If it’s shown it’s theoretically possible there’s going to be a gigantic reallocation of resources into productising it and figuring out to make production work. “It’s theoretically possible but hard” is a world of difference away from “unsure if theoretically possible”
The other REALLY big issue is the CBD content.

CBD is on its own an effective antipsychotic (comparable efficacy to one of the common treatment options in schizophrenia in a 2013 study), and has repeatedly been shown to balance out the psychotic effects of THC.

And I'd say easily 80% or more of the products I've seen in any dispensary I've walked into have ~0% of CBD compared to those heavy THC amounts.

It's no longer "just using something that grows as part of nature" if you completely disrupt the balance of the natural high with extreme levels of selective breeding and processing.
If your goal is to have others verify your signatures, then they need to have your public key.

The solution to using weak algorithms is to not use them, not to hide your public key. If you don’t reveal your public key, then there’s effectively no value in the signatures made by its private half.
Would find it more authentic if the recipe would start with a 1200 words long story about an episode of the author's childhood, where they tell us the time their mother bought a box of socks, which inspired this delightful spring salad-wonder.

I would be very surprised if asking it to not make mistakes actually has any positive results, in part because I don't think it can know if it is making a mistake.
https://tinygrad.org is trying something around this; currently working on getting AMD GPUs to get on MLPerf. Info on what they're up to / why is mostly here - https://geohot.github.io/blog/jekyll/update/2023/05/24/the-t... - though there are some older interesting bits too.
We’ve found way that works for us. Nothing magical, but it works in a generalized sense. And doesn’t have this need for significant manual tuning. Search space is vast, but since they can write their own prompts or select strategies, you can have then tree nav a library of strategies and they do pretty well.
I was many times sad to not be in the future just to get more history to read and more ahead on the tech tree as you say. One of the most interesting things in life is the "story" of life itself. I don't mind not living later but I'd really like to know what happens!
The authors already said that they were not able to consistently replicate it.

And so we have one failed attempt based on limited information and then suddenly the authors are accused of fraud ?

I just think people need to take a deep breath before jumping to wild conclusions.
Nope, it’s the same. I believe the blog post is trying to say that including the key in the git object storage is effectively the same thing as self-signing, since there’s no independent key discovery or trust mechanism. In other words: it’s not because it’s a private key, but because putting a public key in the same channel that it’s meant to verify is essentially “useless” from a verification perspective.
How? 5-10 years for 5-10x less seems like a better deal cost (if not environment..) wise. Even if you ignore energy usage.

Yes, absolutely! I second this wholeheartedly. Care by Design is a great brand that sells low THC, high CBD products but they are hard to find.
I started a facebook page a while ago called "Cooking with ChatGPT" a while back, where I would ask cgpt to make a recipe from three random ingredients I chose.

The results were really very good. But I got bored of doing it after a couple of days. This site is exactly what I was doing, but clearly in a more elegant fashion.
Maybe we should invent a paradigm and write a manifesto about it. We can call it... test-driven development.

Publishing incorrect results should be hard, especially if they would be ground breaking if true.
I don't even get this arduousness argument. A barebones WinMain is extremely long-winded (what causes most people to "nope out"), certainly, but once you get passed that it's fairly consistent and the API calls reasonably formed. I don't think it's an example of a perfect API, but the concepts and functionality of it mean once you learn the basics of it (handles, resources, parentage, text encoding, type annotation, etc) they apply to any other widget you'll implement, from legacy ones all the way back in 1993 to modern ones introduced in Windows 7+.
I just said "AI stop apologize" and it did.
Ask HN: What is your weekend schedule?
I'm pretty productive and happy during workdays. However, I struggle with figuring out how to spend my weekends in a way that's either fun and/or productive. This is an issue I've had even back in my home country, and it continues now that I'm living abroad.

This problem will probably fix itself once I have children, but until then... I'm curious, if you enjoy your weekends, what does your weekend schedule look like?
Then let me tell you that programming X Windows is even worse, from the point of view of someone that knows Windows since Windows 3.0, and learned it via Turbo Pascal for Windows and Turbo C++ manuals.

They do generate native code at installation time via the NGEN tool, and Managed C++ (later C++/CLI) can created mixed mode Assemblies, where native code is embedded on the file, which is the reason why mixed mode Assemblies can't be considered safe from CLR point of view.
Shortbets 5 years. This is so going to happen.
That sounds disingenuous (the article as referenced). If you put cells in a very oxygen or salt concentrated formula it would also cause way more cell death, yet we would not label oxygen or salt as extremely dangerous.

In fact, using that same experiment compared against oxygen, one can conclude that a slight amount of microplastics is necessary for health!
Honestly, that's a really excellent point.

That’s a significant oversimplification. These days, most of humanity has access to many types of powerful potential addictions. For many of them, trauma suppression is not a necessary condition. Reward chasing can exert enormous influence on its own.

Yes I use stackoverflow at times as documentation, which is good. The other situation where it's good is when there are enough different answers to a question that help you attempt different approaches.

I never ask a question on Stackoverflow like I did before, anything useful I'd ask can't be asked.

In the 90s, there were other options besides Windows and POSIX.

What you are alluding to is a modern interpretation of the theory, one that arose from Einstein's postulation about the relationship between space and time. This interpretation produces novel, testable predictions which have been experimentally verified.

As a small quibble, there is no such distinction between "laws" and "theories". In common language a theory may imply less certainty than a law, but in science this is not the case.
When they say capacity increases proportional to volume, do they mean you need to make many alternating thin sheets within that volume?
I don't know if "killed" is the good word, but simply block google.com in your /etc/host and you will see how broken surfing on the web now is. Google is now technically owning the internet and is clearly using this position to its advantage, not to the advantage of its users.
Even more scary: You can tailor each individual's completely unique online universe to dovetail with the equally unique online universes of their IRL social connections / networks so that when they get together again at the holidays or meet for the first time at a bar they both frequent, they have serendipitous conversations about discovering the same hyper-niche thing recently, reinforcing their online conditioning with real-life anchoring.

This could be pervasive through not just online discussion forums, but also online news articles, auto-generated YouTube/TikTok feeds, pages inserted into search results that are custom generated on-demand, conversations on dating apps, etc.
Whoops! You unleashed ChatGPT's defence mode!
Our local big online retailer proxies emails sent to customers by third party vendors on their market place. There’s absolutely no need to share your email address.

In those mails there usually is an incentive in the form of a review/discount to persuade you to share info though, but that’s easily ignored.
Yeah, it doesn't apologize as much when going through the API.
Main takeaway: Users care more about getting the job done than what your UI looks like.
If research moves more to arxiv + discussion forums rather than paid journals, sharing research results earlier seems like a good thing, not bad. If they didn't publish early, when they published maybe things would be clearer for other researchers. But by publishing earlier other people have the choice to engage with it or wait for later. Seems like many people decided to not wait, so it seems like it was a good choice?
Seems like such a waste, unless the houses are built with bad materials and sub par building regulations.
There's no bullet to dodge. Minus human intervention, the next ice age would be in 50,000 years. Humanity will be either some unrecognizable scifi trope or, more likely, long gone by then. Planning for it is pointless.

The time scales for anthropogenic climate change and the previous temperature cycles are so different as to not be comparable.
There is a website here https://socket.dev where you can search for any OSS package and get the same information without the need for an extension.

The idea behind the extension is that it integrates directly into the developer workflow so you don’t have to remember to check a separate website.
Which is why they can keep the OS ABI compatible, while at the same time evolving that struct.

By having a size field, the OS can know for which version of the struct the application was compiled for, and what fields it expects to have in that struct.
It’s a security issue in the sense that it defeats the signing scheme: rather than negotiating the key out-of-band, the user is trusting the thing they’re trying to verify to supply the key. In other words “trust me because I’m signed, and also trust me to give you the key I’m signed with.”

On the other hand, approximately nobody actually verifies git commit signatures, so it doesn’t matter all that much :-)
Medication is often sealed with brand specific seals and sometimes comes with instructions what it should look like or otherwise be returned.
It doesn't necessarily need to be public in the global sense, but it is public in the sense of "you can't rely on keeping it secret as a security boundary". Since its used to validate the signature, it will usually need to be (at least) as public as the signed thing.
The article does bury the lede a bit by neglecting to point out that the land retains its value, only the house itself loses value. It is an interesting article to an extent in that it points out some fundamental differences between the way the west in general and USA specifically vs Japan think about houses. But it doesn’t really explore the idea beyond that
I’ve always wanted to ask someone who knew something about this stuff if this idea is feasible:

Imagine a giant empty bucket held high in the air. As it rains, the bucket fills and using a counter-weight it slowly lowers down to ground level. Now the bucket is covered and the water is slowly drained causing the counter-weight to lower to the ground and the bucket to rise in the air again.

If this were geared properly, could energy be generated in any meaningful amount?
> YOUR ECONOMISTS ARE TOO CLOSE TO THE PROBLEM TO SOLVE IT, the yogurt said. ANY HUMAN IS.

I have heard people express similar ideas about AI. That it is somehow objective and correct, free from human folly. These people often object strongly to installing guardrails, on the grounds that the AI knows the truth better than us - almost a suggestion that we align to it.

This is problematic for a number of reasons. But to pick just one, it makes you vulnerable to manipulation through what I call "the unsupervised loophole," whereby you are able to get the machine to give you the results you're after without labeling the data. Instead, you shape the training set such that you get the result you want anyway.

Eg, you could implement an illegal redlining scheme by neglecting to balance your dataset beforehand, allowing systemic biases to influence your training set. This is an rookie mistake (you can tell because I'm an ML rookie and I've already figure it out the hard way) but might give you enough plausible deniability to survive a lawsuit.

At the end of the day you have to make a decision and if someone doesn't make it easy for you to hire them, then they don't get the job mostly.

I have been overridden a couple of times and candidates were hired that I thought were poor. In both cases I was right about their weaknesses, but in one case they had strengths I did not acknowledge and they were excellent. The other one was a disaster!
