I cannot access flyertalk.com, which hosts lot of useful airline content from any IP from my country.
I tried reaching out via email as mentioned in the error page and admin does even have a valid email posted anywhere.

I know cloudflare is not to blame here, but they provide way easy access to blocking to bad admins.
It’s a breaking change, but rsc did very thorough testing of publicly available code and internal Google code and found essentially only bug fixes. But I think the risk is why this is an experiment and not a straight up change. Also, the new behavior would only be enabled on modules that are marked as Go 1.22 or above, not program globally, iiuc. So to me, this is very thoughtfully planned and unlikely to be any kind of nightmare
> It guesses words based on previous words.

So do I when I respond to your comment, or talk to another person while staying on the same topic. Am I better at staying consistent in output quality and at referring to past events? Yes, but I also have more than 70B parameters.

Side note: I personally have trouble speaking fluently sometimes for no reason, and in those situations I have to manually dig for one word after the other while my brain seems to be temporarily unable to translate thoughts to language in realtime. I would prefer if people calling LLMs word guessers would provide reasons for why they think humans are fundamentally different.
I think the other HNer is closer to the truth: in a bureaucratic organization, the more people you manage, the more important you are.

So, basically, result of a status competition that comes from misalignment between the interests of the company and the interests of individual managers.
Talking about my personal experience, getting downvoted heavily which was expected and not a surprise, in fact the insanity is another big reason I will not use rust, no other language has such patterns as far as I can tell.
IEEE-754 has supported base 10 FP but I haven’t seen any languages, or processors, that support it.
Enviolo sucks. We have one Enviolo bike in the family. We use it as creative punishment. It sucks. Even for an e-bike.
Could you make the argument, then? How does Svelte make up for the massive ecosystem gap?
Same in desktop version of Firefox.

Also, the examples in the last 3 sections in "Scribbles" ("Small curved steps", "Parenthesis and spheres", "Diagonal Side-way Arrows") don't seem to actually render anything interesting, just showing what is presumably the original ASCII-Art behind them. I'm confused if that's what was intended there, or something is broken (?)

edit: The whole situation is even weirder given that half of the motivation claimed by the author in the "Related" section is apparently specifically: "ran into enough challenges with [...] the text rendering [in svgbob ...] that motivated me to rewrite it in JS (svgbob is written in rust)". I mentioned my confusion about relation to svgbob in a top-level comment here, but the quote above makes it even weirder to have Typograms actually render text poorly (in Firefox)... and the jokes and tropes just seem to want to write themselves here, whether about rewriting Rust in JS, or about Google ignoring Firefox...
Nvidia teams up with Hugging Face to offer cloud-based AI training
Engineers dancing around the fundamental constraints of reality deserve a bit more respect than folks complaining about learning the latest JS-of-the-month, all of which follow basic comp sci patterns.
A vacuum-tube driven Tesla Multiplier (like a Tesla coil but the traditional secondary is separated into resonant and coupling components).

I also built a betatron.
I think the video conference market success is also linked to increased prevalence of camera us - i.e. mobile plans finally support streaming, laptops carry a camera as standard, etc. (Covid also increased demand)

If you're going to speculate on what's next for communication, it's probably best to follow the technology.
> they only activate some parts of the model for each input

Perhaps you see seemingly random results because OpenAI is A/B testing multiple versions, or different combinations of hyperparameters, so that you can train GPT5.
I hauled two kids around in a Toyota Matrix (Corolla station wagon) for years, and never had a problem with the car seat not fitting or making me feel like a sardine.
That's a great compliment as I think the core vision of GNU is that all software should be free (<https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/shouldbefree.en.html>).

Although keeping software proprietary or writing proprietary software may have become somewhat unpopular in some niches (I'm not sure it's incredible unpopular seeing how many people and institutions still use and often advocate Apple, MicroSoft, use FaceBook, WhatsApp, whatsnot...), I'm not yet convinced that many people (say more than 1%) really believe that all software should be free and act on that?
There's a lot to like and some to dislike, but I imagine that holds true just about anywhere. I've enjoyed my time living in North Texas, mostly from a cost of living and plenty of opportunity perspective. I don't exactly make a massive income (probably about half of a similar salary to the valley) but with that I'm able to actually afford a decent house with a single income family and still save, have a commute of only a few minutes, and I can take a light rail very close to my home into downtown to access all the things I'd want from a big city.

I definitely don't pretend its all just roses though. It being over 100F every day for the past month or so is definitely a big negative, and a good bit of the politics here is getting ugly. We need to continue to expand the public transit in North Texas and make it more useful to reduce car dependency. More dense housing options need to be available to allow people to choose different ways to live and alleviate rising housing costs. There's a lot of stuff that needs to be addressed, but there's movement in positive directions around here.

A lot of the debate about Texas power grid make things sound way worse than it is. In reality Texas is about average when it comes to reliability in the US. Meanwhile we produce the most renewable energy in the country, we enable people to buy 100% renewable electric plans, and our cost of energy is some of the cheapest in the country. There's definitely challenges ahead for the grid and some of the market strategies we have need to be re-thought, but overall I'm not too worried about the grid long-term. Texas isn't alone with its grid challenges though, most states need to address massively aging infrastructure.
Does JavaScript state live in the heap too? Can we use this technique to pull objects from memory?
I was reporting my experience to give more detail to the argument. I agree with the paper.
IMO in this case it doesn't really matter. The cars aren't owned by you anyways. They can already be remotely controlled by Waymo/Cruise.
This is exactly how I feel which is conflicting because my company gains from such funds. My multinational employer, based outside of the US, has been expanding into the US for years due to shrinking growth opportunity in Asia and Europe. In recent All Hands, the NA head has mentioned we’re applying for millions in grants through the IRA which is essentially subsidizing what we were planning to do all along.

I hope this at least means there’s no excuse to cut bonuses in upcoming years though.
This assumes that both parties are rational agents acting with full knowledge, no coercion and no externalities. The rational agent in economics is similar to the spherical cow in physics. Great for modeling but pretty useless to a cowboy.

Played with some of the sample queries and did some babies first queries (`1h type="comment" | table`, real crazy stuff here). Pretty cool.

What does the log ingestion stack look like here for your demo?
"Europe could look like the US" sounds to much like a threat nowadays..
Bullshit jobs are created for many reasons, I think you and GP are both right.

GP's point may not be obvious on the surface, but another way to look at it is, if for example the economy cools down and GOOG is pressured to maintain its profits, you can bet that management will decide to lay off even more people. In this sense it is just behaving as if it earns as much money as "expected" (by shareholders or the public, doesn't matter).
There are some serious problems with this paper, namely that I just tried to reproduce it and it failed every test: I tested out several of the problems presented in the paper which it was claimed that GPT-4 failed on and it passed every one every time.

I used the standard chat.openai.com web interface with no special or additional prompting.

It seems like there are others that have the same issues in this thread, which raises the question - what went wrong here? I can't see which version of GPT-4 the paper uses mentioned anywhere, did anyone else spot this?

I've contacted the author and included this thread, so hopefully we get some insight into what's happening here. To clarify, I am not accusing the author of anything and on the contrary I recognize that OpenAI is rather opaque about the models and changes them frequently. That said, the responses from GPT-4 in the paper do not match my personal experience using GPT-4 with reasoning tasks at any point during the last several months, which is why I am curious if the author may have accidentally used GPT-3.5.

If only there was some open standard for browsers to verify that a real human is visiting a website, so that website owners wouldn't have to rely on bespoke hacks that only work in chrome.
Having so much reliance on advanced semiconductors from an island that's potentially going to be invaded by China doesn't seem like a great plan for the US and Europe. It absolutely makes sense for both the US and Europe to incentivize production in their own countries to diversify. If the fabs in Taiwan were to be damaged without building up this domestic capability we'd have a tough time defending Taiwan after a while anyway.
I mean, those cars have cameras everywhere, you can easily imagine the lawsuits if people started doing that
Stuff keeps moving out of the standard lib related to crypto. First was PGP, now elliptic. Why doesn't Go want to provide stdlib crypto stuff?
Best way here would have been to only collect the information at the constituency level. Why is there even a need for a national database? If you're concerned about fraud then periodically cross-check hashed NI numbers or something like that.
That's also just an outlandish point to anchor the negotiation window. I'll bet exactly zero businesses will actually pay for every potential occupant. (Or if they do it'll be because the per-head cost got negotiated way down.)
I exclude Khronos because at least they're able to put aside industry politics to deploy an open API. The problem is the rest of the industry - even if there was a good alternative, nobody would use it. Microsoft has DirectML™, Apple has Accelerate™, and Google has a few thousand tensor accelerators they don't know what to do with.

Everyone is out for blood in this market. Going after Khronos for not addressing Fortran FFI is a cart before the horse argument, from where I'm standing.
I've got a side project still on Svelte 3, I feel this. I got the implementation into a good state a few months ago and haven't needed to touch it, soon it will be two major versions behind. No regrets, no other framework was as easy to work with for a primarily SSR app.

I was feeling this with Quarkus too, but they finally set one of their recent versions as LTS. Setting an LTS and migration guides between LTSs is a practice I'd like to see more in front-end tech.
> Corporate profits are often seen as an adverse result; of consumers being taken advantage of unfairly.

What is it then?

I think it's a clear sign that competition doesn't work and savings were not passed to consumers. The thesis that competition will work eventually reeks of trickle down economics.

Such tax is just punishment for the lack of competition. It sends a message that if you are not going to compete for the customer then you can't keep the profits gained from your reluctance to compete.
I am still waiting for someone to explain me why you can forward medias (image or videos) in whatsapp to new recipients without uploading it again completely if those images and videos are encrypted with the public keys of your recipients.

Since the forward is instantaneous and not involve a reupload, it looks to me the files are cached on the servers. If the recipient can see thee files and they are encrypted, it means that the server itself encrypted it using their public cryptographic key. If the server can do that, it means it either:
- can decrypt your own files
- cache them unencrypted

Correct me if I am wrong.

It is easy to test by sending a large video recording over a crappy connection, then forwarding it to another recipient. First upload can literally take a minute or more, the second action is immediate.
Irrespective of the the benefits and/or feasibility of competition to bring prices down, the larger problem with this ad-hoc windfall profit tax is that it is ad-hoc. This is changing the rules after the game has started.

The article reports the effort as a "surprise tax".
I don't do anything related to data science, but I feel like doing it in Rust would be nice.

You get operator overloading, so you can have ergonomic matrix operations that are typed also. Processing data on the CPU is fast, and crates like https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu make it very ergonomic to leverage the GPU.

I like this library for creating typed coordinate spaces for graphics programming (https://github.com/servo/euclid), I imagine something similar could be done to create refined types for matrices so you don't do matrix multiplication matrices of invalid sizes
Just to clarify, you do get your ISI score (and the sleep benchmarking information) immediately after you answer those relevant sections in the quiz, without having to enter your email. Entering your email basically just gives you the consolidated report in one place.

Pretend I’ve never hear of you and don’t know if you’ve ever accomplished anything meaningful. Assume that I’ll take one look, not recognize your name and go away unless you give me a reason to stay.
Or people believe yet another language and compiler is the wrong direction. Same with React's skunkworks compiler project.

SolidJS has shown what can be done performance-wise without all that nonsense. And Mobx+React/Vue is quite performant.

Also, switching costs are incredibly high.
Node.js is now on version 20, and Node 16 was stil active as of this time last year. Is it unstable?

literally spending 2 seconds reading the Svelte 4 release makes it clear that its a maintenance release. you could've done that instead of typing all this.

> Zoom is the Skype of video - it turned a technology few people used much into a mass-market product. But next we’ll get the equivalents of Instagram and Snap - products that ask different questions. Zoom solved getting into a call, but why are you in the call?

Complete garbage. I know why I'm in a call, it's none of your business, and I don't want products asking questions.

> I think that the main difference between LotR and GoT is that LotR is told in a style similar to the actual legendary epics and epic sagas that we have from history.

Yeah, ASOIAF is very much a deliberate reaction against both the tropes (pure good vs. pure evil, characters whose morality or immorality is etched in stone disconnected from events and circumstances, etc.) and the romanticization in what is told and what is elided in the style that LotR deliberately leans into.

> This doesn't mean that LotR is less realistic

The tell vs. imply distinction isn’t a matter of realism, true, though other aspects of the difference, particularly around characterization, very much are, and those are deliberate stylistic choices on both sides.
Hmmm... maybe the government shouldn't have let conglomerates buy up everything.
After a few years, I am coming to an opposite opinion on this. Yeah, shape checking is nice and all and you should be able to run them before-hand (might be a linter pass). But inside type-system while most people have LSP running in the background and bark at you on any type mismatch? It is not going to be a pleasant development experience.
The joke was that Mozart was considered inferior, while Bach was still worth drawing on for inspiration. Perhaps less funny explained, but also amusingly musically accurate.
Make the protocol so boring you have to write about something other than the software? It might work!

I wonder if the mostly proprietary OSes and browsers has anything to do with the early internet's appeal. Open source invites you to improve and customize the software. Does the ability to do so change the psychology and put the focus more on the app itself? Is it related to entropy, where software has lots of other possible ways that it could have been done differently, all of which sit in ones mind like alternate timelines distracting from the present?

With open software software(Aside from ultra minimal software defined by a specific ideal) you can always improve it with some effort, so perhaps it's always disappointing to some degree especially to anyone who knows how to code?

It's one of the only things people do where there are frequent updates. A textbook might go years between editions. Painters will usually return to similar themes and subjects when they feel they could do better rather than redo a painting verbatim. Software is never done, and software people are never done thinking about it.

How can we get the same results in FOSS that we had on the early internet, when people just said "it works, lets use it!" without using ultra minimal stuff that once again is only interesting to tech tinkerers, and doesn't really do much?

He even has to say "I hope I'm wrong" to avoid the hoards of eternal growth people to swamp his channel.
Likewise, and that's the advice I give everyone. Most things are perfectly fine as a web page. The app offers no benefit to the user. It only benefits the app owner.
Yeah there's a bunch of other stuff like limited liability and governance rules, but they're not really to the topic at hand which is why bigger companies should get taxed more.
The distribution portion of UBI is the least interesting from a theoretical and technical standpoint. Giving money to people is easy, and a solved problem, which is basically what I've been saying. Funding that money is the hard part, and the portion that basically requires a government because it's likely to be taxation that does it.

Some crypto company trying to help enable UBI by solving the identifiability and distribution problem is like some artist trying to help build a car by offering to find the right shape for the wheels, and then using the fact they offered in promoting themselves. Thanks, but really, you aren't offering much, pretty sure we're already going with "round".

That, in a nutshell, is what I've been trying to express. I think they just attached themselves to UBI as a buzzword to sound better, when really their change of usefully being involved in a real UBI implementation is likely close to zero because it makes no sense for them to be involved in any feasible plan that could move forward.

It's no different than if they said they were going to help enable people to pay taxes (except in negative connotation instead of a positive one). The portion of the problem they'd be helping with is a mostly solved problem, so what are they really offering that's likely to be of use? If it's extremely unlikely they'll be used for whatever reason in the problem space they're advertising themselves in, what's their reason for doing so, to actually advertise their intent or to associate themselves with something?

> This handles the wealth-redistribution function of taxation, and allows control of the total number of tokens to prevent inflationary spiraling over time. A prime difficulty is assigning accounts.

That's a prime difficulty of a cryptocoin, not of a government entity dealing with its citizens. Again, I'll note, in UBI the actual distribution of funds is so simple and solved as to be inconsequential. Who to give money to and how much are the main things to work out on the distribution side, and are entirely policy based, and thus no blockchain product is going to help.

TunnelCrack: Leaking VPN Client Traffic by Abusing Routing Tables [pdf]
The author argues that local news papers should be externally funded (government, NGOs) to keep them in existence.
One main argument brought forth is that newspaper uncover scandals, which is for the public good and ultimately saves money by preventing and couteracting corruption.

This seems completly insane. The reason local newspapers are failing is because nobody reads them. People obviously do not care what is written in them to an extent that would keep the paper alive. Funding them will not make people read them.

The idea that state funded journalists should be recruited to uncover corruption and then report about it is unbelievable. The one reason journalists can uncover what the government can not is because they are independent of the goverment. If you want to fight corruption you don't need journalists in between.
