Internal link building, for me, is some of the most difficult parts because it requires you to know all your posts and where you can link to and from.

It’s a tedious process, and I dread it every time I’m done writing a blog post, but I’ve found a tool that automates this.

Linksy shows you, based on your content and keywords, what other blog posts are closely related.

Sorry - I was just born there, spent a few decades, and still go back once or twice a year. Obviously mine was a bit of a throwaway comment, but you can't deny that the banking sector in Italy is vergognoso, and one of the reasons the country continues to stutter economically since the '90s. To be fair, they are not the only one - the Italian elite is, as a whole, pretty bad.
I kind of don't understand the issue - IANAL, so I'm not going to delve on the legality of things, but I think making automated book recommendations better is absolutely fits the bill for 'transformative use' - as in book recommendations are in no way a substitute product for books themselves.

And personally, I think book recommendations are an absolutely underserved market, if I liked a book, having the ability to find more like it would be an absolute godsend for connecting authors with people who would be interested in their works, resulting in much more potential sales for them.

I can't count how many times have I discovered an absolutely great book on Amazon with like 50 reviews accidentally, as well as other, objectively less recommendable books that have nevertheless made an impression on me.

Discovering these books is sort of a hobby of mine, and is the exact kind of activity an LLM would be a great help with.

Going further, if there was an LLM that could be asked for book recommendations for your particular tastes, it could also identify markets for books not yet written, and would give a hint to authors on what sort of books to write to find an audience.

Really a problem for mail. The US seems to be hit especially hard because everyone made a Google account.

Unity doesn't really use Unity Engine, they don't ship a game with it or use it in the real world.

From what someone on HN has described before last time they showed something off like this, even if it's made internally at Unity it isn't really made with the tools you get downloading Unity yourself, it's made by an offshoot team who has people doing changes to the internals of the engine and writing custom hacks for this one use case. Then they ship the video, be it Adam (2016) or Enemies (2022) but then that's it, they go on to work on something else and the tweaks and tooling never get made into something viable for the main engine.

That's why Unity themselves managed to ship Adam [1] 7 years ago but since no one else has used Unity to create content like that since. Feels like it's almost to a yearly schedule now where Unity will do a PR demo like the link above on this topic and then nothing real ever materializes.

I don't understand why you think the literal only way a security standard can be bad is if it has a literal security flaw. What Google is doing is bad for reasons other than security flaws, but it's no different from the other reasons why Google being involved in standards other than security standards is bad. It's just that in this case, their evil, user-hostile mechanism has absolutely no reasonable use case outside of security.

Yes, developing bad, user-hostile, open-ecosystem-hostile security standards should indeed bar you from security standards work even if the prison you've built for end users is maximally secure.

> It appears that Mullvad blocks our business website, infringing on our freedom to operate in the EU

What a load of crap. When a school WiFi blocks Facebook, are they "infringing on Facebook's freedom to operate in the EU"? No, they are simply making their own rules on their own network.

Noone is infringing on your freedoms here. You are free to operate in the EU. And Mullvad is free to block any website they want for the users of their network. On their own network, they (not you) decide whether your website is "legitimate" or not.

If you seriously believe that your rights are being violated, have a lawyer write to Mullvad. This is not a support forum for airing random beef.

I also ave a hardware key, I got it for free last year.

It doesn't take 10 seconds. It takes remembering to keep it with me when I travel.

Also with 2FA the risk of being permanently locked out of my account increases A LOT.

With a bank or similar I can show up to their office, show my id and reset all access. With websites there is NOBODY responding. I've tried taking over an abandoned project on pypi for which I've done several contributions before the owner disappeared. Never got any response.

So losing the keys means that I have to fork my own project :D

<devils advocate> Knowing what websites people visit and for how long isn’t unreasonable if you want to create a test that mimics how a GPU gets used in practice.

Compare your GPU’s performance with competitors across the top X popular websites looking for outliers. Then start optimizing and retest while regularly updating that list with new data in case something starts to become popular.

They could get this kind of data from a third party, but collecting it themselves is more representative of their customers and possibly cheaper.
>My employer is moving workloads to ARM on AWS as it’s much better for price/perf

It's a fool's errand to try to reason about Amazon's pricing. We don't have figures about how much a Graviton costs to build or to run, but we do know AWS has staggeringly high margins across the board. They have huge headroom to make price cuts if they want their homegrown solution to win.

And perhaps it is better! I have no doubt it's a good CPU. But we can't infer that from pricing.
On Windows it isn't possible to remove or rename files and directories that are being used. In order to handle this, you typically have to run some sort of helper application outside of the installation directory. This renames the existing installation directory to a new directory with ".tmp" (often, not always, but this is my guess). If that rename operation fails in the middle of the operation because a file being opened, either by another process or sometimes by an add-on, then the background update fails.

On Mac and Linux it's less complicated which is why they never get the "download the new version" prompt, but Chrome and Firefox have evolved systems for managing how these silent updates work. On Chrome the update button you talk talking about means you haven't closed the browser in awhile. If you see green that means an update has been available for 2 days, orange – 4 days and red – 7 or more days.

My guess is that you are encountering a situation in which the Chrome background helper can't successfully run the update process and then asks you to download the whole thing again so they don't need to rely on the updater and can just move your user files over.

They do quite a bit more sampling in order to dynamically determine a good delta value. But apart from that, I dare say that I got it broadly right.

It feels to me like there's also quite a bit of temporal coherence that could be leveraged in order to accelerate the process.

The Collapse of the EV SPACs: Another One Goes Bankrupt, Others on the Verge
It's a place to tread carefully in the context of discussing a multiregional human origin theory.

I can't read minds but they may have intended to point out that while humans did not evolve from any of our modern cousins (modern apes, modern monkeys) we all evolved from some common ancestor (generally classed | accepted as an 'ape' albeit not a modern one) and it's conceivable that common ancestor may have had its own diaspora from which various human groups evolved in differing regions of the world.

Not my argument, mind you.

With LLMs/ChatGPT, i would prefer fine-tuning a model and have it auto-generate bash commands with my natural language description.

I remember, I used to keep a diary with landline phone numbers of relatives etc. I used to remember at least a dozen of those numbers for emergency. With mobile and digital contacts, now that number is down to just 2.

Wonder, what the programming is going to look like in 10 yrs. If no-one dedicates so much of their time and effort to document, the programmers then would feel helpless. right?

1. Or at that point, LLMs will be intelligent enough to read the source code and figure out the commands.

2. They can generate data by running commands, and train themselves using this simulated data.

What other scenarios will occur once we stop generating data using human effort because we all are so dependent on LLMs to generate those commands?

> I'd go as far as to say that Commodore missed a massive opportunity with the Amiga in terms of use for music

IDK - the first DAWs were made for the Amiga. If the Amiga hadn't already died-out by the early-ish 90's then I'd imagine Pro Tools would have been created on that and there would be a very real possibility we'd still be using Amigas today.
The problem is that the driver is closed-source.

Even if the driver sent data in a format which is easily inspectable by user, and with only benign-looking data, it would be really hard to prove that something nefarious and underhanded is not being sent instead under that guise.

Nah, I pretty much gave up on AMD when the 7000 series launch was imminent and still no ML real support for the 6000 series. Not that I was even expecting anything. With the way Intel Arc is coming along, any ML support for Radeon is just a bonus. I refuse to pay the Nvidia tax until it becomes clear there is no other option again. Nvidia just really rubbed me the wrong way with the latest generation.

I am a luddite. What's wrong with that? I don't believe that all technology is bad, but that AI has reached a stage sufficient so that the order of magnitude of the changes it can affect are too damaging for humanity. I do believe that AI has become advanced enough to pose such a risk to us.

Some creative people are using these technologies, and while it is quite human guided NOW, at some point, the guidance that humans put into it will lessen. That's not to say that AI will ever produce a work like Dostoevsky --- maybe it won't, but it WILL be enough to eliminate most creative jobs, and reduce them to being at most being supervised by people who don't have much of a passion for creative works. And that's a shame, because it will remove the passion of creativity from society.

I've been around a few of these people in my life (albeit not nearly as successful). One guy in particular got people to invest millions in his sinking ships. Some people have a reality distortion field around them. Pair that with a half decent pedigree (school, neighborhood, city) and while money was cheap it was fairly easy for them to get whatever they wanted.

It's sometimes surprising how shocking simply knowing people is.

Using “radical” to describe a tool just reeks of hype driven development.
Is it? I think we have a pretty good grasp of what "reasoning" means in mathematics and computer science, in particular with logic. Although to be fair we normally use the word "inference" in maths and CS to avoid confusion with what humans do informally, vs. what we do formally, with computers or without.

But it's clear that the author of the paper above is using "reasoning" to mean formal reasoning, as in drawing inferences from axioms and theorems using a set of inference rules. I think that makes the article's point very clear and we don't need to be splitting hairs about the different possible definitions or understandings, or misunderstandings of "reasoning".

I feel most awful for Softbank. WeWork was such a terrible investment.
The issue pointed out by these two comments come from a conflation of vocabulary (which is typically intentional at least at some point in the education). A truly "free market" would ensure that things like WeWork wouldn't happen because the ultimate material inputs and outputs of the company don't square. "Capitalism" is the seeking of profit at the expense of all others, where having a viable company no longer is an objective in itself but simply is a means to increase personal wealth. In such a system, WeWork makes a lot of sense because the long term solvency of the company does not impact how the market measures it's success.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk
Data drift is not a good indicator of model performance degradation
The world is a dynamic mess. So, it is natural for things to change. And, don't get me wrong, data drift methods are good tools for detecting those changes.

But in the context of ML monitoring, data drift methods, which are often presented as the go-to solution for detecting performance degradation in ML models are not the right tool.

In my findings, data drift doesn't always imply a decline in the model's performance.
Some reasons might be:

- The drifted feature may have low importance for the model's predictions, meaning that changes in that specific feature have minimal impact on overall performance.

- The model might be able to correctly extrapolate or generalize from the available data, even in the presence of drifting features.

- Even if multiple features exhibit drift, the relationship between these features and other relevant features may remain unchanged, resulting in stable model performance.

So, because of these limitations, drift methods often generate lots of false alarms. This makes them somewhat noisy solutions for ML monitoring.

I'm interested in reading your opinions about it and knowing if any of you have experienced something similar.
