You could just try it out if you have the hardware at home.

Grab KoboldCPP and a GGML model from TheBloke that would fit your RAM/VRAM and try it.

Make sure you follow the prompt structure for the model that you will see on TheBloke's download page for the model (very important).

KoboldCPP: https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp

TheBloke: https://huggingface.co/TheBloke

I would start with a 13b or 7b model quantized to 4-bits just to get the hang of it. Some generic or story telling model.

Just make sure you follow the prompt structure that the model card lists.

KoboldCPP is very easy to use. You just drag the model file onto the executable, wait till it loads and go to the web interface.

Censorship is when you send a message from jail and someone elides stuff they don't want you to talk about. It doesn't involve goons visiting you, travel restrictions and wholesale restrictions on sizeable chunks of the population in terms of education or association.
Tailwind is meant for a workflow that uses components. I don't need a `.container` class. I need a `Container` component with various tailwind classes on an internal `<div>`.

No, it hasn't. But this is clearly futile, so I'm done here.
Don’t forget about QuickJS!
It seems to me that a lot of modern architectures store the same data in multiple places. The systems I see proposed in my company probably need often 10 times more space than the actual data we have because they copy and cache a lot of stuff.
Hey wait. LTT’s specific in-organization sins aside, isn’t their content a common YouTube tech genre? Are Austin Evans, Dawid Does Tech Stuff, the Toasty Bros, etc. also to be faulted for making reviews?

It isn't. Well-behaved Mac programs use ~/Library/Application Support/ and ~/Library/Preferences/ for these sort of things.

GUI-based software that craps on my home folder doesn't last long on my system unless it must be there for some reason.

For Terminal-based software, though, unfortunately it is common, as it's just another bit of UNIX software.

It was nice to see this kind of topic, reading the list felt a little higher level than I anticipated, even for a startup who is targeting enterprise sales.

I would love to hear what others here consider important to make a minimally viable and secure product in a startup from the starting as a startup.

How much of this list is hard needs, soft needs, beneficial, and nice to have preferences/interpretations?

Many startups wouldn't make it to the start line fulfilling this list. If I could pick a solution architect's brain looking at this, I'd be curious to know what ways there are to satisfy these through architecture, design considerations, or using particular parts of particular platforms?
You use UI components. CSS alone can't do everything so trying to come up with class names in a .css file and then integrate them with components is wasted effort (for most things). The component is the atomic unit now.
Probably not. But it still feels like a weird place to be. Presumably they had subscription access to be able to scrape the content in the first place. It seems strange to be bringing the hammer down on information obtained from reading that content and the conversation stemming from it: I mean isn't that the whole point of the press? Inform people and get them talking? Why is it different that it's also informing LLMs and getting them talking?

Anyway, I've always been a bit prickly about IP stuff ever since a troll lawyer threatened me over a TI-BASIC game when I was like 14. I'm also sure I'm completely wrong-headed about this whole thing and overly anthropomorphizing the LLM.
Looking back in 25 years, the "Hallucination Problem" will sound a lot like the "Frame Problem" of the 1970s.

Looking back, it's a bit absurd to say that GOFAI would've got to AGI if only the Frame Problem could be solved. But the important point is why that sounds so absurd.

It doesn't sound absurd because we found out that the frame problem can't be solved; that's beside the point.

It also doesn't sound absurd because we found out that solving the frame problem isn't the key to GOFAI-based AGI. That's also beside the point.

It sounds absurd because the conjecture itself is... just funny. It's almost goofy, looking back, how people thought about AGI.

Hallucination is the Frame Problem of the 2023 AI Summer. Looking back from the other side of the next Winter, the whole thing will seem a bit goofy.
The AAA games need enormous marketing because they need to sell a lot of copies. They are extremely expensive to make.

Conceivably, in the future, somebody could make a Zelda or Baldur level game in their spare time. It may not sell ten million copies, but it doesn't need to.

Is it worse than the current games, with vast amounts of craftsmen? Maybe. It might be a little sad. Or it might be great that all of those artists now have free time to do their own art.

Of course all of them have to eat. And so we'd better hope it also comes with even greater superabundance than we already have. We get lots of artists, who sell very little but produce great art, or we get something potentially very bad.
The fairness of the comparison doesn’t really matter because we’re talking about buyer expectations… My point was more akin to the one made in the article - regardless of she store methods, they’ve helped create the expectation and habit for the buyer.

I agree that it is most certainly necessary to have compression to have intelligence, after all, it is the bridge from empirical examples to a learned policy. Oftentimes the subtle switch comes when people say that compression IS intelligence.

Similar to how metabolism in many ways is required for life, yet metabolism itself isn't life.

One of the challenges is that the minimum MDL (Minimum Descriptor Length -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_description_length) is intractable to prove directly, we can only prove that we are a bit closer to it than we were before. This of course becomes even more difficult in the temporal regime, as the amount of information to prove that an iterative mapping (i.e. a decision-making algorithm or what have you, in this case) over each time slice in a temporal system is nigh-impossible. We can tell _something_ about it because of the attractors generated by such a system, but even then, I think it's something basically impossible to do in a closed-form manner.

That being said, I do believe compression is required for intelligence, and that deliciously drags in all of the info theory stuff, which is very fun indeed. Just seems like it gets really messy with that time component, but that's just my 2 cents at least. :'(

I didn't know that was related to the Hutter Prize. Very cool. I'd read a little bit about that prize before, and I'll take another look at it now. Probably won't start any work on anything because I really, really, really do not want to Collatz Conjecture myself again.
Setting your condescension aside, I browsed the thread.

I understand that calculating trajectories is difficult.

If someone claims something like a 3% impact probability, and they are wrong 99.999% of the time, that speaks to a methodological error in how the numbers are conveyed and or defined.

I work in medical devices and testing. I perform tests like X percentage of patients will die based on the statistical calculations. You may undergo treatment with a medical device that I have worked on.

Oooh, I see what you're saying. For want of an "s". Yes, in this context, I am aware that it is a whole class of functions -- and that f is a label being affixed to that class of functions. Sorry for the confusion -- that makes much more sense now.

No offense received -- was just genuinely confused as to why it netted two comments and a few downvotes for a seemingly uncontroversial statement. But then again, we're talking mathematical logic here, so loose english is of course reasonably discouraged.

Thanks for the clarification, and I hope you have a great evening!
This makes sense. “South Korean journalist” is a very clear way of saying “western journalist” also I’m sure “anti white racist” isn’t any sort of culture war word salad.
How is lampooning people who disagree with you as "arrogant" not moralizing? Arrogance is a moral accusation.

This isn't a problem where you can just copy and paste a deductively-proven-correct-for-all-inputs solution and be done. One way or another you're creating problems for existing users and existing scripts as soon as you start using the new location. A newly provisioned system with an old script (or an old user (and "old" meaning nothing more than "older than this change")) running on it is going to end up thinking that it's doing a create-or-modify on, say,`.bashrc`, when in fact it's doing an override (because existing config was in the new location).

"Ignorance" is being blind to that problem (and others). "Arrogance" is pretending like it's somehow obvious that that problem isn't worse than the benefits of unifying on this convention, especially when there are so many examples of estimable projects on both sides of the issue.
I’ll be blunt. Montana has self-determinism, which is one of the key principals of our form of government. They don’t need to do anything they don’t want to do. Life is about compromise. If you want something from them, you need to be willing to give something up.
Oh, I appreciate this point, thanks for making it! I like it a lot. <3 :))))

I think, perhaps, if inputs > outputs and there is some dimensionality reduction (though I think orthogonality would be a trait of an ideal system [i.e. an emergent property approached in the limit], not one that is explicitly enforced each step).
A list of security recommendations about MV(S)Ps created by a consortium of pretty big non-startup companies. The joke tells itself.

But seriously, I think the problem is in the name. This is not a set of best practices for any kind of startup but rather a public checklist that anyone looking forward to provide some kind of service or product to any of the contributors (i.e. Google, Salesforce, Okta, or even other companies subscribing to this extreme SecOps cargo cult) must comply.
Ah, I see, that makes more sense now. Thank you.
Another way to see it is that if you criticize repeatedly somebody, and have being asked amicably to join him/her to talk about that, it would be polite at least to accept to hear his/her version of the history. Don't even need to join him, could simply have a email conversation

Musk claimed to be unfairly treated, and asking to be allowed to explain their own version of the facts in private is not unreasonable. The professor may discover that was missing some relevant facts, or find a different valuable perspective of the history. He could also address this critics directly to Musk and defend his opinion. Both are adults
You can query the spot pricing api and see what’s going on with that. I have a feeling Amazon purposely tries not to hang their customers out to dry by consuming large amounts of spot instances, or on-demand tanking spot availability.
The vast majority aren't turning up dead and in pieces, some after saying there are people after them. Half of them aren't even that well known where as a lottery winner is broadcast.

People got rich at Google and Tesla but you don't see them turning up dead.
The EBS storage could easily be highly redundant (for good reason) local cache copies of store data.
Good info.

I'm aware that accounts get renamed. I've run across a few instances, most recently through my front-page activity analysis. IIRC there are some glitches, possibly with Algolia still referring to the old name, or the old name showing up othewise in some archives.

I also strongly suspect there's an independent (and immutable, or at least more durable) userID value that's not the semantic name, which is kept internally to HN, and isn't publicly exposed (at least not that I've found).
The uncensored model isn't very uncensored. It refused a number of test prompts for me, telling me that things were unsafe and telling me to consult a professional
Could be true, but there will more tests for sure.

Why does bolding words imply adtech?
The frontend has… a browser. It's a much more constrained toolbox. You are forced to use JS and whatever browser APIs made available to you.

The server side is only limited by what can run in a datacenter. Any language. Any service type. Any scaling profile.

Neither is more "correct". Both have pros and cons. As for why the backend engineer's point of view matters: if you are server-side rendering, you will have a better chance of going faster. A browser will always render HTML faster than JS that generates HTML on the fly, and the server side can always be made to generate HTML faster than a browser could. You can always simply throw more hardware on the server side to speed this up whereas you have basically no control over the performance profile of a random user's browser.

Look at Google search results. It's typically not JSON over AJAX; it's rendered HTML dropped into place. Why? Because every millisecond can be quantified into gained/lost revenue.
I have a different perspective on your statement "trained scientists are scarce
.... both could be helped by increasing interest/excitement/awareness"...

When I was a kid I read about DNA and genetic modification of organisms (this was back in the 80's when it was still fairly new) and decided to become a scientist to genetically modify humans using gene therapy as an alternative to standard pharmaceuticals. The articles I read suggested that if we just sequenced the human genome, and did a bit more research and applied computing, that gene therapy would be a viable solution. Biotech was undergoing a revolution at the time.

Fast forward- I've finished grad school, postdoc, and am now a principal investigator at a national lab. I was a beneficiary of a massive growth in science funding during the Clinton era that ended right about the time I was looking for a faculty position. There are almost no faculty positions available, compared to the supply. Guess what? Real science doesn't look anything like what I thought. The majority of the time is spent writing grants and papers, your competitors are super-hardcore, it's really not a fun job and it gets in the way of work-life balance.

And the entire area I wanted to work in, gene therapy, was almost entirely stopped for 20+ years due to the death of a single patient in a single trial (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Gelsinger). The risks of gene therapy had been greatly understated, and even today, the few gene therapies that do exist aren't great, and cost $$$. We hear constantly that human genome sequencing is going to revolutionize drug discovery- it didn't.

So, I am not so sure that breathless articles about technologies that could reasonably have been anticipated not to work (like LK-99) to excite more people to sign up for science is really a good idea.
It's not about managing unknowns. It's about low information speculation taking up all the information bandwidth crowding out high information factual stuff.
hmm ok im familiar with Dang and for a bit there I thought maybe these sites where these stories are ... are conspiracy theorist sites. Though here is the same story on ABC's Good Morning America in which the Govenor of Hawaii is addressing and speaking on the issue.

> despite frequent public suggestions from anonymous cowards suggesting her particular physical form disqualifies her from being one.

Weird way to say journalists but ok.
I think a lot of opinions coming from first-hand perspective is, if anything, more biased. People get inured to the life they live in and don't have perspective. A lot of people I know who live comfortably in the US that are from places like China or the Soviet Union are still pretty biased in favor of their nationalist propaganda. Not all of them, but some.
Me too friend
And yet you impose XDG (originally a GNOME specification) on macOS (completely unrelated to GNOME or Linux). On macOS, you should be looking in ~/Library/Application\ Support/op and ~/Library/Preferences/op/config.

I’ve got a script that I’m making conform to XDG, and it's a lot of work to make it work well because I have to know about three different roots for different things (configuration, temporary files, and persistent files). I’m not convinced that it's worth it, because it is no longer as easy as telling someone "uninstall this by doing `rm -rf ~/.PROGRAM`", but instead I have to say `PROGRAM self destruct` or something like that to clean up all the detritus (and what if it fails in the middle?).
Waiting for more labs to weigh in. Every scientist whose name we know was called an idiot by a room full of experts first.
The codes translate to series of billboards for "South of the Border" and "Burma Shave"
> transmission losses are under 10% in modern grids

Modern grids are designed to keep those losses down.

If the losses weren't a factor the grids would be designed differently. Very differently. As in, North Africa would be so full of solar panels the generating fields would be visible from space.
I think this misconception stems from people thinking 'earthenware' or 'clay' when they hear 'ceramics'.
Its not in Street View.
I mean, if it’s a favour, then it isn’t being particularly well-reciprocated; ol’ mini-hands is still on Truth Social, not Twitter. I think Hanlon’s Razor probably still applies here.
- Being asked to twerk at work.
- Being denied basic equipment for her work, vindictively.
- Being bait-and-switched with additional contracts _after_ moving to a new country for the job.
- Being forced to manage an OnlyFans against her wishes, including being forced to witness adult content.
- Enduring slurs.
- Being asked about details of her sex life.

None of these are acceptable, regardless of an individual's suitability for a job.
No, I'm pretty sure they're just saying she should have known better. Vice were the ones who outed Naomi.
How is that odd? They have chosen not to allocate resources towards building their own blog site, and instead have gone with what is, like it or not, the standard format for blogging. Seems exactly on-message to me.
Interesting, but I'm having trouble thinking of a startup that was killed or even harmed by a security issue (outside cryptocurrency stuff). Anecdata-wise, startup graveyard stories don't seem to have being-hacked as one of their failure causes either, unless I'm missing some big ones.

An old product attempt of mine was a threat model wizard that generated a simple deck with some very clear viz of the model and threat exposure addressed to all concerned parties - and then backlog issues and themes and epics for implementing or verifying the controls it implied. It reduced the checklist/risk assessment process to about an hour from the weeks of spreadsheet work that was a lot of peoples jobs, and it put security into the product/project dev process. Pretty much aha.io (the product management tool) but for security.

What I learned from it is a) self-assessments weren't valuable to large org customers (who need to be able to say they were told by a 3rd party, so it's not like product management that way) b) the need of small orgs / startups was a standard compliance checklist to make standard assertions to potential customers as part of vendor onboarding, and a faster/better model didn't get them that standard. c) most security people trade on their insights, and codifying their ontology even just to speed it up undermined their leverage in their orgs.

This checklist or something like it might actually meet the real needs of some startups who must make templated assertions to customers for vendor onboarding, but most startups would be lucky and probably pretty chuffed if they actually had something someone wanted to steal.
I once asked to change my username. This was done within hours. I once asked for my account to be disabled, if I recall correctly this was done within a day. I asked for it to be re-enabled a year later, and this was done within hours.

All of this took a single email every time.

I don't know what "Hacker News does not allow users to delete comments"-person wants or what they did or didn't ask at hn@, but it's completely valid to NOT nuke entire threads just because one person has a hissy fit. Reading old Reddit threads (and sometimes even recent Reddit threads) can be a real pain because of this. If they want their content anonymized or their account disabled they can do that easily, if they want some specific post altered or removed then I'm sure Dan will be accommodating.
By non-standard I mean XDG home
This is a hardware failure. The server should report to the domain controller a malfunction (by assuming it's certificate is valid) and then give up.
What I care about more than "fell for it" is the general lack of patience and skepticism from us, the audience and the commenters. As commenters, we are part of the media (i.e. social media). Usually, anything claiming itself a revolutionary discovery, especially in physics, has a strong undertone of crankery. For it to be included, even in a preprint, is a bit preposterous.

It's not wrong to be excited, but there is a sort of fatigue which builds up, like the boy who cried wolf.
I think the XDG standards are largely good and I wish everyone would adopt them, but it was absolutely not the result of "a large majority of developers" reaching a standard. It was a very small minority.
Musk’s a minor variation; internet _fanboys_ broke his mind.
