Before WASM's GC feature was ready, it was basically "bring your own GC" which had to run entirely within the WASM context. With the new GC support in WASM, it's now possible to delegate garbage collection to the WASM runtime by exposing garbage-collected-references to the outside world (for instance in browsers that would be the JS engine garbage collector).
This is not green. This is basically an elaborate greenwashing scam, dependent on fossil fuels. As usual with hydrogen.

Probably because it's supported only in a few countries.
There's really not a "license" in that sense for text. There's not some magical way you can use copyright to protect a probability model of the words you make, because that's style and style is not copyrightable (nor are the underlying facts the NYT reports).

In terms of practical algorithms, the Strassen algorithm (O(n^2.8)) is the only one that has runtime advantages for matrix sizes that aren't enormous, and even then, it's not always used because it has two non-trivial costs: reduced numerical stability and more memory space requirements for intermediate results.
I think it is commendable that you have shared something which is often viewed upon negatively by others (as shown here).

Thanks for giving a different viewpoint.

I like to leverage some FP to bring readability to python

from toolz import curried, pipe

pipe(ages,
curried.filter(lambda age: age > 17),
list,
len)

This way you can follow - vertically - what happens, where, and why.

You can make your own pipe function to avoid 3rd party dependencies

import functools
pipe = lambda *args: functools.reduce(lambda acc, el: el(acc), args)
It seems to make sense, but is problematic in practice - for example, for pharmaceuticals it might take half of the total patent time until you are able to sell a product based on the patent, as getting FDA approval could take something like 8 years if they ask for more trials.

Also, patents make sense also for things that are not for sale to general public - for example, an invention to improve some machines that you use in your factory, but aren't selling to other factories i.e. your competitors; consumer products are the thing that is visible, but B2B products matter even more.

The talk page was later. The text still needed a bunch of tidying. Could have asked the other editor to help out!

That said, that looks like quite the controversy. Adding that kind of thing to wikipedia is tricky because it can be hard to represent in a neutral way. Same sequence of events could have happened to me, or anyone else. Fortunately other editors are there to help, but you do need to talk with them.

(edit) Basically Baryphonic started out fine. Discussing on the talk page was the next logical step, after which you can edit the text to fix the issues. Often this kind of change takes several iterations to iron out the problems.
But you can't copyright the underlying facts nor the style of writing, just the literal words used in your article. If you can't point to a sequence of words in the original that's in the later work, that later work isn't "derivative".
This is one reason why I love Go, in that it doesn't follow.

I've been primarily doing Javascript and the like for the past decade, and while I appreciate new features like functional operations added to the standard library - although that was a long process - and arrow functions, I lost it when they added object-oriented structuring like classes, but only half an implementation because there wasn't any good access modifiers. And they added OOP before they added modules and imports. I don't understand.
Honestly, their EDP is probably effectively cost, set in stone to make sure that if the government breaks them up or something like that both systems are good.

If you need to run 15A across the room anyway, might as well use it for everything. 120v can carry more power with less copper.

We have separate lighting circuit that we could switch, but that's about it. And at that point it would be easier just to allow for thimmer 22AWG 120v 0.8A lines or something.

But electric codes assume people might want incandescents, that's not possible with just PoE.

I'd love it if we had wall outlets for USB that look like network adapters to the PC though. Why do we still use RJ45 when consumer stuff doesn't get past 1gbps?
Doesn't this increase the risk of gas explosions in houses? (Hydrogen has a wider flammability range than methane, particularly it is flammable in higher concentrations, =presumably bigger bang) Seems a bit dicey.

I also don’t like the fact how the toggles work but yes apple has an interest in bluetooth/wifi beeing always on - the apple watch for example. Not so tech savvy people would disable bluetooth/wifi not realizing that this also disconnects the watch. There are probably way more features in the apple ecosystem relying on bluetooth/wifi
That has nothing to do with the subject at hand. You cannot charge a battery at 100% efficiency, especially from the source electricity. People are simply creating an apples-to-oranges comparison here. You're just distracting from this fact.

Garbage collected languages have been running in WASM for a long time already, but they had to "bring their own garbage collector" to run in WASM, which increases the size of the WASM blob.

Garbage collection can now be delegated to the WASM runtime instead (e.g. see the short description here: https://chromestatus.com/feature/6062715726462976)
Fair use also covers generating derived works, and arguably the AI is a derived work.
That must've been a while ago, I find factors of both working pretty well together. Most languages are a mix nowadays anyway.

> Cross-site request forgery. Example: Accepting requests with an Origin header from a different domain

English is not my first language and I’m not a security expert, but this description seems a bit misleading.

The “Origin header” part should be left out. You don’t check where it’s comming from (you can’t know). You either send a unique token back and forth, or you defer the issue to the browser (cookies with Same Site strict/lax).

And it’s not “requests”, it’s “unsafe requests” AKA mutations (POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE). It’s not just a nitpick. If your GETs are not safe, you might cause deeper issues.

To be honest you don't even have to go to universities or schools. Just offer tutoring from the field or around the field you're in. There's a lot of money to be made like this, especially since math in school is fairly easy to teach for someone with comp-sci degree.
That extra step is only required when you deploy the certificates through one of the less secure methods:

> You must manually turn on trust for SSL/TLS when you install a profile that is sent to you via email or downloaded from a website.

The more secure deployment methods do not require this:

> Apple recommends deploying certificates via Apple Configurator or Mobile Device Management (MDM). Certificate payloads are automatically trusted for SSL when installed with Configurator, MDM, or as part of an MDM enrollment profile.

Not sure where you're being asked to believe that beyond a single thread contribution. I've argued your point earlier in this thread and agree that they are "widely accepted", so you may be barking up the wrong tree.

Nevertheless, some people prefer not to accept them while not being entirely anti-tech either. You may not be agreeing with choices other people make, but it goes a little far to call them "absurd on its face", don't you think?

Things like what? Traffic violence and risky behavior if a raising problem and it seems we don't have a solution for it despite many attemps. My view is that most of it comes from a small group of drivers. It's not "everyone speeds and uses their phone sometimes" but "there are people who speed recklessly and are on their phone most of the time". If you share my view then you want the camera in areas with the most traffic as the goal is to fish out and eliminate those dangerous drivers not punish sensible drivers who make mistakes sometimes.

Putting it on a major "safe" motorway is perfect. As you will have a chance to check most cars there. Being and to go at the speed limit where it seems safe (from inside the car anyway) to go faster is also the most important psychological trait for safe driving. Catching people who aren't up for that will improve safety in other places as well.
yeah ie for us O2 would be nice, I mean really nice... anybody did calculation how warm would Venus be if we somehow broke that runaway greenhouse effect? I can imagine poles may be quite hospitable temperature wise.
And I’ll add some more:

- LLMs aren’t very good at large scale narrative construction. They get too distracted by low level details that they miss the high level details in long text. It feels like the same problem as stable diffusion giving people too many fingers.

- LLMs have 2 kinds of memory: current activations (context) and trained weights. This is like working memory and long term memory. How do we add short term memory? Like, if I read a function, I summarize it in my head and then remember the summary for as long as it’s relevant. (Maybe 20 minutes or something). How do we build a mechanism that can do this?

- How do we do gradient descent on the model architecture itself during training?

- Humans have lots more tricks to use when reading large, complex text - like re-reading relevant sections, making notes, thinking quietly, and so on. Can we introduce these thinking modalities into our systems? I bet they’d behave smarter if they could do this stuff.

- How do we combine multiple LLMs into a smarter overall system? Eg, does it make sense to build committees of “experts” (LLMs taking on different expert roles) to help in decision making? Can we get more intelligence out of chatgpt by using it in a different way in a larger system?

"Most" is an exaggeration; "many" would have been fine; it's been a while since I read Sapiens, sorry about that.

I was mainly referring to how he talks about the invention of agriculture.

There has never been an agricultural "revolution". Cultivation was practiced for at least 3,000 years (probably much longer) before some human groups decided to make it their main mode of subsistence, while many others, already familiar with the concept, decided not to.
Transformers (for NLP) also perform steps on Markov chains. The difference is that with transformers (for NLP), which Markov chain it's moving along changes every step.

It's an even bigger gap than that.

Homo Erectus takes us back around 100 million years. A billion years gets us to very simple multicellular life which can't do imagination at all. Or logic. Or thinking. Or creativity. Or much of anything else.

So... a billion year old civ is going to have very fundamental abilities which are completely beyond our comprehension.

It's like Dunning Kruger on a cosmic scale. Except that with Dunning Kruger there's usually some potential to learn a way out of ignorance.

Here there isn't. Not only can we not do it, or understand why we need to do it, we can't see - never mind reach - the first rung of it.
Thanks. I've reviewed all of those solutions and happy to go into more detail in a later post.

Here is our take:
None of these solutions are built to fit seamlessly with the data team's workflow to collaborate and work together on (imagine the difference of Modal and WandB had on data / ML teams). We have built and consulted on a number of LLM projects and found that prototypes were super easy to make. Iteration was incredibly difficult. Our goal was to make iteration as easy as writing a unit test.

A number of these projects are missing most Python developer's workflow. For example - we made it compatible with Pytest on day 1 because that's the most common testing suite.

Many competitor tools all make a good pass at these but our roadmap is significantly different and not catered for normal web developers etc. Our focus on building this is to ensure the first step makes sense - that we are super intuitive to add to a data team's Python workflow. (Just 1 assert statement to write a unit test).

Most EVs go a lot further on the 50kwh * 0.85 = 42 kwh it would take to produce that. Most EVs with a battery that size would be doing 150ish miles or around 200km. That kind of shows the problem with hydrogen and transport. With an expensive and ideal hydrolyser (using the numbers in the article) you are still requiring twice the energy per km.

Of course things not being ideal, it's more like 4x with the 80kwh / kg hydrolyser this company advertises. Now we're talking 80*0.85 = 68 kwh. That's typical for a lot of mid range EVs (including Teslas) with a range of 250 miles or better; or about 400km. 4x the energy + all the additional cost. Sure it will only cost a 85 cents per 100 km. But you could be driving for 21 cents per 100 km.
Ask HN: HSTS vs. Letsencrypt
The HSTS standard generally recommends an expiration of 6 months or more which was fine when certificates issued were valid for one year or more.

However with LE we now have certificates that are valid for 3 months. If we are unable to renew a certificate the HSTS header becomes an issue. In fact IMO the HSTS header should shorten by the days until the certificate is renewed to avoid this.

The issue I have is that all these "security" tests (that customers run) will moan that an HSTS is shorter than 6 months and deduct heavily from a score.

What are your opinions on the HSTS header and how do you deal with it if you are using LE?
Good question! At the moment if you have the abstraction of data -> model -> vector then it is amenable to searching like this. It will depend a bit on the use case though.
> What leading role?

WG21's "Direction Group" is a handful of "experienced" people, by-invitation only, which has "been decided" (by itself of course, with a little help from Herb) to choose the future direction of C++. It further decided that to shape their work they should consult what was written in a book and in several papers about C++, all of them written by one of its members, Bjarne Stroustrup.

It reserves the right to chime in on absolutely everything, and has an "expectation" that everybody else (e.g. chairs of sub-committees) will take the Direction Group's advice.

> Concepts Lite is a consequence of ISO politics, it was either that or nothing all.

On the contrary, WG21 had voted in C++ 0x Concepts for the standard which would eventually become C++ 11 but after that Bjarne wrote a paper claiming that you don't need all these fancy features other people designed. You do, which is why C++ 20 Concepts achieves so little - but his paper was influential.

Over the next several months, the argument was made that C++ 0x shouldn't have this complicated C++ 0x Concepts feature which they had voted in because it wasn't implemented yet, and anyway Bjarne says it's not necessary. As JeanHeyd Meneide has observed it's weird, sometimes WG21 feels like it's absolutely crucial to have a working implementation, but then other times (cough modules) they don't see this as important at all and ship the standard with basically a TBD sticker. See if you can guess which WG21 member wanted Modules and also which WG21 member didn't want C++ 0x Concepts.

WG21 went back and ripped C++ 0x Concepts back out of the standard and then spent years more working on what would eventually become C++ 11.
