It probably makes more sense to derive that information from measurements. There are a lot of ISPs in the world, and allocation policies can change, even if you manage to find a person who knows what they are.
I have several carbon filament bulbs in a large ornamental chandelier. They glow gently and while I have replaced every other bulb in the property (some of them many times) in just the last decade… these vintage examples just keep on running. Output light per unit of electricity is very low, but that’s not really why I chose them.

Probably worth pointing out that C# used to have Go's behavior and they changed it (a rare breaking language change) specifically because it was such a notorious pitfall.

I think Go is doing the right thing here. I'm somewhat surprised they didn't always do this. (Dart has created a new loop variable for each iteration all the way back since before 1.0.)
I was using WebP-lossless for quite a few years, for the subset of images I had that fit within WebP's limitations (being the 16383×16383 dimensions and 32 bpp color depth). I've recently converted everything to JPEG XL. Old JPEGs got losslessly transformed, and both PNGs and WebP-lossless into lossless JPEG XL.

Seems to be a similar level of "works everywhere" for me, with the exception of web browsers this time.
I am a little unclear on the attack. What data in the temporal buffer is being forwarded to the attacking vpgather?

Is the content of the temporal buffer just being blindly forwarded during speculative execution even if the indexed address of the attacking vpgather does not match?

Otherwise how is the speculative vpgather allowed to load the values of the temporal buffer?

If it is not blind is it a virtual address match? I guess it could also be a not-Present mapping physical match as well? I can not think of any other possibility off the top of my head.

If it is a blind forward that is pretty amazingly bad.
I think that's splitting hairs a bit. Laws are written fairly broadly all the time and it's left up to the courts to determine the specifics.
Did processor companies ever advertise that processors guaranteed certain security properties of the software they execute?

Aren't system designers at fault for coming up with the idea of a context switch and assuming that we can trust a processor not to leak details across artificial software constructed boundaries?
Thinking that Reuters and AP are unbiased is laughable. They just happen to agree with your own biases and don't make you uncomfortable. That's not evidence of a lack of bias.

GPT-4 can't reason: "Yes, I'm sure. If you are in South Dakota and facing towards Texas (which means you are facing south), then Boston, Massachusetts, which is located to the east of South Dakota, would be on your right side."

If you are facing North, is East to the right or to the left from you?

GPT-4: "East is to the right from you."

It appears GPT-4 thinks East is always on the right regardless you are facing North or South.
As a layman, I can't follow, but the paper [1] references AQUAL [2] "This systematic deviation agrees with the boost factor that the AQUAL theory predicts." But that theory doesn't agree with observation? And I'll paraphrase Sean Carroll [3] as saying something like Scalar-vector-tensor theories are just dark matter theories in disguise. Positing an noninteracting energy density, is just positing dark matter.

As someone who has done background work many times in Vancouver, I’m left wondering why society needs to ensure that background actors continue to work other than the optics of it all. It’s not a great job, you spend 14 hours just waiting to walk past a window that’s so far in the background and out of focus that it’s completely unrecognizable as a human, you get less respect on set than the physical prop objects, and you get overpaid for hr amount of actual labour involved, considering most of it is sitting around stuffing your face with free food.

Human actors are one thing but background acting provides little value outside of the immediate camera vicinity in the scene.

I suspect that we are going to have a lot of low value jobs start to disappear and the rallying call will be the same about how AI is bad, etc etc. but everyone is assuming the amount of work is finite.

As far as I know, there is no service that banks offer to handle switching your direct debits. I mean, there probably is one, but I'm sure you have to have an account of a certain size for that level of customer service. I've just never seen this offered myself.

There is a good chance a credit union might offer that, but they aren't available to everyone as they often have membership requirements.

What others have suggested is the better route, minimize direct debits by using credit cards (which gets you 'free' CC points).

The other thing is to just use multiple banks... I have my 'debit' bank and then I move my savings around to whichever bank I can find with the highest savings rates (either cd's or money market accounts). I link just those two accounts together and can transfer funds as needed. I find that to be pretty easy now, but it took some getting used to.

I think a lot of people are afraid of opening a bunch of accounts in various places and having to track it all. The open account friction is pretty high... you generally have to do a two small deposit dance, which can take days. I have a theory that part of the fear could also stem from the fact that we penalize people's credit scores for opening too many credit card accounts... but the reality is that we don't do that with bank accounts.

We also have a culture of being afraid of touching our money. You're supposed to just put it in an account and forget about it. I think the mental barriers override the actual barriers.
for some reason i just couldn’t get into it. i love the aesthetic, but i hated the pacing; the game's frequent unskippable walking sequences and menu transitions between puzzle solving felt like a slog.

>More broadly, the hypothesis that an LLM reasons is not confirmed by an infinite number of correct replies to prompts. It is immediately refuted by a systematic failure across types of reasoning (NOT q/a instances).

The question of reasoning in LLMs isn't a question of whether they employ sufficiently strong reasoning capabilities in all instances, but whether it has the capability of sufficiently strong reasoning. You can't confirm general reasoning abilities with many instances of correct responses, but you also can't disconfirm general reasoning abilities through systematic failure unless you have good reason to think it should have engaged those reasoning abilities in the test context. We know that LLMs selectively activate subnetworks based on the content of the prompt. There should be no expectation of any systematic reasoning abilities, but rather what are its capacities in ideal contexts. LLMs are way too sensitive to seemingly arbitrary features of context to rule out capacities from even seemingly systematic failures.
This announcement feels like a "well, we're not close to shipping and we don't know if we have the resources to continue, so let's issue a press release and see if we can muster some interest to gauge if we should keep funding this". Or else it's just an announcement to help show that Google is invested in AI.
seems like the author mentioned that in FireFox disabling "privacy.resistFingerprinting" worked. So looks like Chrome by default is allowing the server to collect Fingerprinting. If cloud flare is using that, then it is a big red flag.

We can also nit-pick regarding how great these entitlements are, especially when it comes to things like: vacation, job security, empowerment, how much you're at the mercy of someone that ruin your life and make it miserable.

These are areas unions can help with. "Good" benefits in the US can be pretty bad. I can take like 2x week long vacations. The rest gets used for odd days (which is nice). This is the "super deluxe" benefit I should be over the moon for?

I learned first hand in my last job that getting on the bad side of the wrong person can be miserable and career altering; guess you could argue that a union just adds one more of these people, but it also adds an advocate. They may defend "anyone", but that also includes people that have been marginalized and may be underrated, due to being unpopular.

You can be fired for any reason. Your employer might be hesitate to put you on the firing line for political, and legal reasons, but that's not a guarantee anything.

I’m saying that it is possible to learn how to optimise for “better” or “worse” decisions without being trained on an opinionated dataset of every single event that has happened. An “intelligence” could exist without necessarily answering your nukes question.

I don't know what they consider to be "significant prior watch history". I have mine paused for nearly 4 years, and have spent a lot of time removing videos from my watch history to improve their recommendations. I've talked about it on HN before [1].

I finally got around to subscribing to YouTube Premium, and they already burned me once by raising prices. If I'm affected by this, I'm canceling it and donating the equivalent between NewPipe [2] and Piped.video [3]

> Code seems at its surface a much simpler language

When using GitHub Copilot, I often write a brief comment first and most of the time, it is able to complete my code faster than if I had written it myself. For my workflow, a good code model must therefore also be able to understand natural text well.

Although I am not sure to which degree the ability to understand natural text and the ability to generate natural text are related. Perhaps a bit of text generation capabilities can be traded off against faster execution and fewer parameters.

Show HN: Ggml.js – Serverless AI Inference on Browser with Web Assembly
What is ggml.js?

Run any ggml ported ML models directly on your web browser with ggml.js

This project provides JavaScript bindings on ggml models, so that you can embed GGML models to your web apps to build serverless AI inferencing.

Currently the framework supports following model types:
- Dolly v2
- GPT2
- GPT J
- GPT NEO X
- MPT
- Replit
- StarCoder

You can find more details about the framework: https://rahuldshetty.github.io/ggml.js/

For live demo examples, you can visit here: https://rahuldshetty.github.io/ggml.js-examples/

Source Code: https://github.com/rahuldshetty/ggml.js

Please do provide any feedback/questions/suggestions in the comments. I'll be happy to take it up :)
I get you, and agree, it's not as easy to scrape. And makes no sense to do it that way, for them, a scraper, a search engine, A.N other, or the user.

The old SSI includes of Apache would probably just be as efficient.

Reading the OP and comments it seems like a generational difference with a younger gen not appreciating server side generation in the same way.
What is your counter argument here?
The difference being that it's somewhat related to the app's operation. In this case, it's completely orthogonal to the app's marketed function.

Just incredibly funny, I love the tone of incredulity... so ... relatable. Can't wait until we have to cope with some kind of "dark matter tendril 'metaspecies'" ...

"What do you mean they're made out of undetectable non-particles that don't exist in 'standard model'^2?"

"I mean, our new overlords can detect and interact with us, but we cannot detect or interact with them directly. And, they don't like being called 'they', sir..."

Haha, the future is bright my friends, let me tell you! (And this isn't close to when "the sun" runs out of its fuel... speaking of bright...)
There are an infinite number of models which generate the same exact (infinite) sequence.

No model is "recovered in the limit".

And, more severely, we're blind to the future. So of the infinite models of all of history, we're not even interested in the ones which are maximally retrospectively predictive.

Almost all of those are maximally non-predictive of the future, and indeed, much worse than the ones which fail to predict the past well.

So your 'recovering in the limit' alas is a dangerous kind of pseudoscience: fitting the past.

We want models which are wrong for the right reasons. Not models which are right for the wrong ones.

The latter fail catastrophically.

The models we require enable us to simulate unrealised futures; the causal, abductive models of science (, say).
That still seems questionable to me because they are completely different kinds of systems.

The NYC system is serving an entire city with stops near a large number of businesses of all kinds. It's a system that almost anyone in the city might have reason to use.

The LV system has stops at just two businesses (four at the convention center and one at a nearby hotel). It's a system that is only useful to people who need to move between locations at the convention center or between the convention center and that one hotel.
And every Cloudflare customer is a company I won't do business with (unless there is absolutely no way around it)

Some particular build of Chromium and Chrome are vastly different systems. A lot of this is philosophical; The Mozilla way is to support standards and tut-tut at websites for doing overtly malicious things like looking at user-agent or asking for widevine, the Chromium way is to treat the web as a hostile actor and offensively subvert anti-user behaviors.

Any modern browser that doesn't actively fingerprint as either most-common Chrome on a laptop, most-common Android browser, or most-common iPhone is written by such hopelessly naïve nerds that they shouldn't be trusted with user-facing software with real security considerations.

That's a cool Idea. Thanks!
America's notion of freedom of speech was designed at time when we thought humans would prefer truth over "truthiness". Turns out none of that was true, or only true for a small subset of the population. No other country runs with our rules of "freedom of speech == freedom of consequences" (particularly for the rich). But then, most of the West is running into similar problems with the news.

Not sure there is an easy answer. None of us want to be censored, but for sure the market has failed (both the demand side and the supply side, and there is lots of money to be made from all the fake controversy and scandal)
Actually, technically, it's possible that she was dead in the sense that her heart stopped at 11:59AM, and then she was revived via CPR. So maybe GPT4 is right here :)
You can’t, but there are a large set of built-in emoji-like inline graphics in addition to the normal emojis. Some of them quite good but the selection seems a bit random. They are privileged over keyboard emojis in that they pop up for selection when you type keywords. AFAIK users can’t create their own.

However, stickers have a culture of their own, and I don’t think it’s inferior to emojis, maybe it’s even better. You can express a lot in a sticker or two, without words, and quickly. And they’re not tiny ambiguous glyphs, they have the room they need.

So far in my Line experience I’m the only one using emojis (I should probably stop) because it seems like the standard is to use text to say specific things and use stickers to convey emotions.

I’m a foreigner and don’t have a million Line friends, but that’s how it looks to me.

“When you’re young, you look at television and think, There’s a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older, you realize that’s not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want. That’s a far more depressing thought. Conspiracy is optimistic! You can shoot the bastards! We can have a revolution! But the networks are really in business to give people what they want. It’s the truth.”

I don't quite understand the "ads it deems necessary for me to see" comment.
You will always get ads on sites that serve ads. The thing the tracking might do, is change which particular ads you get.
The right solution to that, is to use an ad blocker, and to pay for sites that have an ad-free alternative.

Also, fingerprinting isn't always "bad" -- any business who takes credit cards online, wants to try to exclude people who will commit fraud (because they might have done it before.)
Preventing fingerprinting, means you prevent certain anti-fraud, which means that you see higher prices and more friction doing commerce online, which also affects your experience. The connection is just much less direct.
As a data point, enabling privacy.resistFingerprinting on Firefox defeats this website.

It took me 8 months to find a job as a frontend engineer at the top of the market in 2021 with 15 YOE. I was interviewing every day, and most of them were positive, but they didn't bite. At the end of the day, you never know why someone doesn't hire you. It worked out fine for me though. I ended up in a FAANG company. Interviewing helped me build the skills I needed to pass the interview.
Author here: I implemented several versions of matmul with different unrolling schemes using the Vector API and I got a ~4X speedup with a single thread, but the speedup fades the more threads you add.

> So the thieves have physical access to the ATM, and power tools. Why do they need the computer to do anything?

It's easier to hack into the computer using an exposed USB port than to drill up the safe - its control electronics are usually well defended which means you have to spend way more time which may raise suspicion.
