I've been looking for good examples for my next book, but everything I've read about has turned out to be not used, including everything in Michael Bader's book [1], except for S2Geometry [2], but I feel like I need to talk to someone who has more expertise in the benefits/drawbacks of using that in an actual product.

Isn't this literally the definition of 'state of the art'? It's the best we can do with our current understanding and data. This doesn't seem like a convincing argument that current ML techniques are tapped out.
Have you got a source to read more about this? Why the choice of silver - because of its reduced reactivity vs other conductors?
Yes, sorry. It should've been per litre. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_density#In_chemical_rea...) The intuition about volume/ weight is out of the window with hydrogen, because it's so light. Thank you for the correction.

Of course, for almost all uses, the volumetric efficiency is important because you have to create bigger tanks, which if they have to contain liquid hydrogen, are usually heavy and costly.
Wtf are you talking about? Superconductors are limited to 40kJ/L energy density.

For reference, gasoline is 33,000 kJ/L.
Well, hold on a minute – while the idea of a DIY zero-emission electricity supply is intriguing, I can't help but wonder about the practicality and potential drawbacks. Are there any hidden environmental costs in the production of the materials needed for such a setup? And what about the initial investment – is it feasible for the average person?

You probably need to look into disabling the Android phantom process killer. I had a similar issue and could not get DEs such as XFCE running for a long time and after the fix it was smooth sailing.

There are meanwhile quite a few Google references, the one I used at the time is referenced on this comment in the issuetracker: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/205156966#comment52
That's a cool theory, I think that thought (that this wasn't a coincidental discovery) crossed my mind too, but I didn't pursue it. Interesting that you've seen rumblings of this! It could very well be true. Funny that it comes from Korea, although according to Coulthart that's the location a giant structure was built around an immovable alien artefact -- that could be true, too! But in that case let's see some proof! :)

61% of Americans own stock [0] so it’s certainly of more interest than 0.01%.

I don’t think owning stock is about disposable income, it’s about saving. I would expect many people have a savings plan, if at least for retirement. So the majority of people directly own stock and there are more who indirectly do through pensions and other instruments that own stock for beneficiary purposes.

I asked it to find me a cable to connect my iPad to a tv screen. It returned a JSON message with some random filler content and links to “example.com”.

Next I asked it for some help finding a light backpacking tent and it gave me options for suitcases and said they were on sale for “$$0” [sic].

Also, the follow up questions are wholly useless. Why would I want to ask the chatbot if it “wants to see other options”? That should be a command, ie “I want to see more options”. It also gave me the exact same options when I tried it.

I couldn't agree more, unfortunately we are a minority :(. Before react was mainstream, you could "fix" websites pretty easily with things like greasemonkey, but even that is super painful now. CSS modules mangle classnames, so every new version (which are pushed multiple times per week/day) will break your naive css modifications. You can't naively modify DOM elements because React will overwrite them almost instantly.

I know you can write regex in your CSS selectors and use MutationObserver's to update the DOM after react and co are done with it, but it's just so much more painful. Something that used to take maybe 1-2 hours to get some site working/looking how you like it, is now a part time job.
This wouldn’t affect the people who did the research. It would only affect the C levels. C levels at companies this large receive extremely high pay and have relatively little risk associated. This would bring their risk/reward ratio closer (but still nowhere near close) to what 99% of humans have. What exactly is unfair about that? If a C level “finds out” they should have spent more on research because their choices harmed a lot of people, is “learn to live with the assets 90% of humans have” really such an awful, unthinkable consequence?

My go to is using Gin, the Go web framework. But in your scenario, why not use nextjs or sveltekit for both the front and backend? They come with the server side aspect as well? If you’re going to be doing SSR you’ll end up have a front end and two backends.
I agree with you, the problem at a large corporation like ours is that the process ostensibly "works" - the candidates we are hiring are good and it's hard to argue that by expanding more effort(and more money) on widening our pool of candidates would result in even better candidates than the ones we have. The argument you'd need to fight against is basically "we already have a 1000 candidates, if you can't find someone suitable within a thousand people then maybe it's not the candidate pool that's the problem". The pool could be better and include people who are just as good(or better) but don't have a university degree - but again, that's money that would need to be spent and it's very hard to make such an argument in a corporate setting where people who make these decisions aren't the ones participating in the process.
The reason is because for the price of things to crash relative to dollars, there needs to be a shortage of dollars relative to the things that can be bought with dollars and since more dollars are being printed constantly and at zero cost by the government and banks, it's simply impossible to create enough goods and services in the economy to vacuum up all those dollars.

Attempts have been made to make dollars appear scarce to the masses by manufacturing extreme wealth inequality but the inflation we're seeing today likely comes from wealthy consumers, not from the masses. The masses are already totally squeezed out of all wealth-creation opportunities and the system is just creating tons of wasteful bullshit jobs for them instead. The system we have today is utterly incapable of using the masses for anything other than bullshit bureaucratic jobs because it doesn't want the masses to compete against existing corporations; it needs a way to keep them busy but, as a side effect, this anti-competitive economy just destroys innovation through the systematic deprivation of opportunities.
You have to know it’s possible, and be able to aim at useful internal targets despite this being well before aerial surveillance photographs and calculus.

My guess is there’s probably a whole bunch of neat things we could build with existing manufacturing tools, that we don’t yet know are even possible, and which the future will have similar discussions about.

That's funny too, but I think you can do both. You can be interested, but also make fun of it. I have a suspicion, that in the long term, being able to keep it light and make fun of the serious work that you do actually assists your longevity, resilience, creativity and productivity in working on it.

It may not be true, but some amount of keeping it light definitely works for me. I mean I love taking myself seriously too. And some amount of doing that I think is necessary. I guess I just don't wanna put all my eggs in one strategic-approach basket, you know? People are complex! :)
Even taking that at face value, "work" doesn't necessarily relate to full-time employment.

Work can be crafts, social work, volunteering, actually taking time to raise one's kids, hell even playing ball games in the park with friends can constitute work for meaning purposes!
(I don't know what tools you use so this isn't a comment directed at you specifically)

If web developers spent a fraction of the time required to learn react, tailwind, etc on learning HTML the web would be in a much better spot.

There are definitely quirks and rough edges, but if every web devs knew how to get the most out of semantic HTML we'd likely have a lot less JS in the browser, fewer accessibility bugs, and more eyes on when specs could use an update to fix our replace some of these quirks.

That is very outdated text, — 09/05/2023 00:16, we changed directions 2 months ago and we already had a notice about this from stripe and this is the main reason we decided to pivot directions... but yes we do not do NSFW, that was just an outdated text since that was 3 months ago, since I've been busy I did forget about that but I will change it, but that isn't the issue I'm having with stripe, the issue is them closing my account for "fraudulent charges".. but yeah I'll be changing that ASAP since you brought it to my attention

and also to further explain, we offer AI tools that can be used on a wide array of use cases- that being said do you outlaw knives because they can be used for murder when in face they can be used to cut vegatables? stripe should base their prohibited business list off the content sold and distributed mainly by the service, not what the consumers do with the service.. and like I said i've been allowed to operate on stripe and I am passed that as they have already allowed me to operate selling AI tools but an example from this is that amazon (that uses stripe or has used stripe) has tons of media attention of people doing fraud, will they shut down amazon because the consumers do fraud? no, so why should they play with peoples money like that?
Not seen a great explainer on this yet.

You'd either need access to the model weights or a fine-tuning API.

Then depending on which fine-tuning approach you want to use, the user data you need to collect will be different: RLHF requires multiple outputs to a single query vs instruction fine-tuning where you need great input-output pairs to train on. You could ask the user's feedback after running the LLM to pick out good training data.
Well, even if I define myself as a sort of anticapitalist, maybe before waiting for UBI (for which I’m for), we could also do something to halt this race to extreme inequalities.

Even neoliberalism isn’t incompatible with dismantling monopolies.

Maybe we could also top the maximum personal wealth to some billions (I’m not even asking for millions) so that after your 100th appartement or your 200th car, you are 100% taxed.

I understand the oppositions against taxing the riches but we can’t tolerate that 1% of people are able to own half the planet wealth. It’s not helping anyone, even the capitalism itself, to continue to accept that.

> Unless you’re already a billionaire then that doesn’t serve you

The obsession some HN commenters have with billionaires is silly. If more is produced then the following can happen:

- your company is more likely to stay in business and thus your job is more secure (although if a competitor does this and your company doesn't, perhaps you could move, although you would be going in at a lower grade than your new, automation-trained colleagues)

- your job is higher paid because your are more valuable to the company; it can have more clients and/or more work from existing clients

- your company's investors are safer and pension funds etc invested in you do better

- your company's budget is bigger and they have more to spend on nonessentials to attract and retain staff

- your customers get lower prices and in turn they can offer more attractive pricing to their customers, which benefits end consumers

I know this all sounds very obvious, e.g. it's why tech salaries are so high: automation allows our work to scale absurdly, but occasionally when I read "only billionaires like productivity!!!111eleven" I need to say something.

I want to say something, anyway.
The "LTC" watermark in blue might refer to "linear timecode" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_timecode and I guess it's possible whatever equipment they used to embed the timestamp in the video also adds this watermark.
No.. this information is for software engineers applying LLM's in their applications. I'm working on an LLM based system, and I'm just soloing a startup with no academic background and it's certainly no research project. I've been doing it for 3 months 1-2 hours per night and I've already applied half the patterns in this article.

I'll grant you that the way the author presents his ideas seems a bit academic, but I assure you all of this information is just the immediate things you run into as a software engineer trying to integrate LLM's into your systems. No one is jumping to finetuning before they've even tried GPT4 on their problem.
The typewriter is irrelevant to the value equation at that point. You're paying for "potential" human labour, and that's governed by scarcity and fundamental limitations of how much a human can physically do.

I.e. you're paying for 8 hours of that humans time, not their output. They still expect 8 hours, whether you output 10wpm or 100. Now are there some employers happy with splitting the difference in gains with their employees? Sure, but the market's emergent behavior will favor employers that get X output per $, not X-15%.

But remember, this same equation applies to the employer. So they can't tell the market "hey we can now produce this same product 5x more cheaply but pretty please will you keep paying the same while we reduce our expenses by 5x?"

In my head, it's essentially the same, perhaps I'm not explaining very well.

Hello, my name is Sergii and I'm a Senior Software Engineer with strong knowledge of Ruby on Rails framework, and have a long history of web applications development. I'm fluent in several programming languages. For the last 10 years I have been working more with backends but I'm also familiar with JS and I can make something trivial with frontends as well.
They start out well but often have no negative feedback loops, so everything gets a bit rubbish.
About 80% of the doing-the-work bit is figuring out what you're doing and how. There's a lot more work to work than just the bit that we think of as the work.
The idea of maintaining two entirely different versions of the same side gives me flashbacks to the days when they sir had a separate "m." codebase for mobile. There's a reason we found better solutions there, building and maintaining the same site twice is almost never worth it.

Yes, I know, the true story is a bit more complex [1], but the general point still stands - instead of whining "no one wants to work anymore" [2], he simply paid an adequate price for labor.

I think you could ask an LLM if they were persuaded, but I don't think you'd get meaningful data from it

Leaving aside the bots that are trained to answer "as an LLM I do not have opinions..." it's going to be a very basic probabilistic yes or no based on tone and numbers of pros and cons rather than knowledge of the surrounding political context and higher order reasoning about the accuracy of the claimed pros and cons.
Here's their response.

Thanks for your thoughtful questions and for your patience as we connected with our engineers over the weekend.

*Why are IP addresses collected?*

Currently, IP addresses are an unavoidable part of the telemetry data process because the event transmission occurs over the TCP/IP protocol. The library we use as the web server automatically parses IP addresses from that transmission, but we've implemented a step to entirely remove that field from the data before it's processed for analytics. We currently don't require or desire IP information for telemetry; we’re early in our telemetry journey and will consider improving our handling of IP addresses as a future enhancement.

*Why do we de-identify server-side rather than on the device?*

De-identifying server-side allows us to enrich the raw event data with additional metadata elements that aren't stored on your device. These elements are non-identifying pieces of information like the type of account and whether or not the trial period is active. The entire server-side enrichment pipeline is hosted entirely within 1Password's own infrastructure.

*Could the timestamp be truncated by the batcher on the device?*

The timestamp being truncated on the device is possible – our primary concern here is the loss of visibility into latency in our pipeline. This can have a significant impact on data quality and understanding the health of our pipeline.

Our goal as we roll this out is to provide transparency on how we prioritize customer privacy while building a better 1Password. We hope this helps answer some of your questions and we’re here to help if you have anything else you’d like to know.
