> I think scaled up renewable propane would be a much cheaper cost overall than rebuilding every single vehicle in existence.

I don't think you have any realistic idea about the energy costs of synthetic hydrocarbons. We're talking about something in the range of 5x the amount of energy you need. Think 5x the number of wind turbines and solar panels, and then reconsider if you still imagine that is a cheap solution.
Healthcare beyond the basics has very little impact on life expectancy. The differences between developed countries mostly come down to diet and lifestyle. Americans on average are more obese, more sedentary, and more alcoholic than Canadians.

> It is very important to us that the deployment of fine-tuning is safe. To preserve the default model's safety features through the fine-tuning process, fine-tuning training data is passed through our Moderation API and a GPT-4 powered moderation system to detect unsafe training data that conflict with our safety standards.

I wish there was some documentation on what kinds of things are determined unsafe. There are plenty of things I think we would all agree are unsafe. I'm sure we don't want fine tuned models on how to cause physical harm on other people.

I don't envy the challenge of making the call for more gray area, sometimes even cultural differences, in what is safe or not. Seems like a very hard problem we've seen social media struggle with. I'm reminded of some of the Covid "misinformation" being deemed as unsafe
Fastest OSS 2D Physics Engine (In JavaScript/TS)
I recently created a physics engine for all sorts of convex entities which, when benchmarked against many other popular engines such as Matter.js and Planck.js, outperformed them effortlessly. I would appreciate if you guys checked it out, as it took me a long time to complete it! https://github.com/Altanis/kinetics.
Ask HN: Anyone here who works at Google Search?
Could you guys _please_ lock down result category button/tab order on the results page?

It used to be (from left to right) 1) All results 2) Photos 3) Videos or whatever. Now the order is sorted based on what the engine _thinks_ I want to find. It is usually wrong. This makes the UI really clumsy and irritating to use. I have to be constantly vigilant to not accidentally click on Maps or some other silly thing that takes forever to load and to get back from.

Thanks

Nothing will disincentivize buying something for a price that is too good to be true. That is a risk many are willing to take. I see it all the time on reddit who fall for scams on Facebook Marketplace, Etsy, and Ebay.

> It seems you have a fairly narrow view of what constitutes a religion. Christian fundamentalism is particularly dogmatic and is one negative manifestation of religion which happens to be present in the West.

The Christian dogmatic variety and its offshoots also happens to be quite popular. I understand the broader religious context after investing significant time and effort into trying to understand the phenomena of religion more generally. “The Evolution of God” is another interesting text in this category.

The narrow view I’m representing here is the view that I spent most of my life holding, and the view that most people I know still hold. It’s also the view that kept me from exploring Buddhism and meditation for many years. Religion had been a very destructive force in my life, and I’m not alone in this experience.

My point in this thread is that associating meditation with religion is unnecessary, and can be a problem for people who hold this narrow view. My attempts to expand my own understanding seems pretty rare in my social circles, and when I added a meditation practice as something very central to my life, it was clear that people around me hold all sorts of assumptions and misconceptions about it (as I did), and those associations don’t need to exist.

“Real Christianity” - following the things that Jesus actually taught - is actually a pretty decent way to go about life. But this isn’t what most people experience, and it colors their views of the whole endeavor accordingly.

No this talk is about something entirely different, the idea of giving a libc interface to Zig's standard library in order to use it whenever a C project needs a libc dependency and wants static linking. Currently Zig uses musl for that but in a future it could just use its own stdlib instead.

Zig can link against libcs without major issues.
The Owner in this article isn't talking about the copyright holder, but rather the person who drives the project forward.

What he's saying is that to be a true owner (to best be able to drive the project forward) you need a mandate (the copyright owner gives you authority), knowledge (of the product, the domain space, the user needs and the business needs), and the responsibility (the buck stops here).

The "owner" balances all the needs, allocates resources, designs, follows up, takes the heat when things go wrong.

In a business sense this is different to the copyright holder (who puts up the resources, takes the risk, and gets the profit if there is any)

ACLU and EFF consider the Montana ban unconstitutional. So it's about free speech, at least partly.

Code == speech argument has been used many times. No settled case law so far as far as I know.

>mobile apps generate certain types of data that distinguish them from

Then make a law that regulates the exchange of this kind of data for all foreign companies. Instead we have the CFIUS commission being used to arbitrarily regulate a particular foreign company, which theoretically doesn't even need to have US presence to function, and it looks very close to the Chinese-style protectionism.

>unique geopolitical context of this particular app

The unique geopolitical situation is that US companies influence (and siphon data) the entire world(the degree of US government's influence on that influence is beside the point, and is a very complex issue), but the US refuses to be influenced(and have data siphoned) by a potential adversary even at the "app where teens dance" level.
That’s what I’m noticing as well. The content loads, then the content slightly changes once the styling loads and then the additional large sized content loads and then the animations load. So you’re trying to explore the website while everything is constantly resizing, populating along with animations playing all over the place. Also, there is a lot of scroll bar control being taken over. It just feels so limiting to the user to scroll, which I don’t particularly enjoy about modern web design trends. I understand that animations and scroll bar triggered events are great for product release pages, but I just don’t think they’re palpable on a home page.
Your own government is in theory accountable to you, a foreign government is not even in theory.
If you find it hard without some recorded guide helping you along, that’s exactly why you should consider meditating without a guide. Guided meditation is like riding a bike with training wheels. You don’t fall, but you’re not really riding a bike.

You learn to meditate by trying and failing over and over, and in the process you learn your own mind. You learn all its tricks. And that’s the point. It can suck for a long time. It can be a grind. But eventually, you stabilize.
AHK has been a life saver for me when it comes to alpha/beta games that haven't yet implemented a key binding system!
Why would you need to fine-tune? Those detectors are completely broken, simple chain of thought will get you something that doesn't "sound" like ChatGPT, and from there you're just as likely to be detected as "AI" as a human would be
Obligatory rant against the "Identity Theft" deception promoted by banks.

The victims of fraud in these cases are the banks, not you.

You still have your identity. The banks/creditors gave their money (not yours) to a criminal through their own neglect.

It's an unconscionable fantasy that you as an individual are the victim in these situations when you had no involvement whatsoever.

Laws need to be updated to reflect this reality. Banks will continue to act haphazardly so long as they are allowed to pass the bill for their own carelessness onto innocent people.

Awareness should be spread by disavowing the entire "identity theft" deceit any time it comes up in a public forum.

I only want to add that you need resistors with slightly ticker leads. Most of the cheap resistors have either too soft leads or too thin and they do not provide a good contact with the breadboard.

I use quite expensive (comparing to noname resistors) Velleman Sets similar to: https://www.amazon.com/Velleman-RES-E12-Pack-E12-Resistors/d...

The same applies to wires that you use for the connections. Do not buy the very thin ones. An example of what I use: https://www.adafruit.com/product/3175

Jumpers are good but if you have to do a lot of wiring (e.g. 8 address lines + 8 data lines) then using custom cut wires is the best.

I'd like to see this too. I'd hate for AI moderation to become the next generation of "the social media feed algorithm" where it's completely opaque. Trading echo chambers for censorship in that case.

Nice Native Ad for Canary Tokens.
The switch to the Zig implementation fixed a ton of bugs, but introduced way more new ones. I've used it in anger for almost a year and simply gave up at some point and switched to Rust because of the buggy build-ins and broken compiler error messages.

Tbh I doubt that this situation will improve now that they bit off even more from the compiler cake after having more than they can chew already.
Im definitely waiting for the UI. The process warrants it. Bringing back memories of fine tuning using the console gives me the chills.
We switched to a self-hosted implementation of the compiler since then. The old compiler had various age-related issues, Cpp-related issues and it made little sense to fix it since the plan was to replace it anyway.

The new compiler is a much better codebase and compiler bugs get fixed much more quickly and effectively.
I'm not missing the point, I'm disagreeing with it. Sometimes ideas are insightful and this seems like one of those to me. It's OK that we disagree about that. It's too easy to just paint all ideas as trivial because there's lots of them. That seems silly to me.
> You're not supposed to be worse than the country you say is spying on your citizens

The state ran media calling actually peaceful american flag waving re-opening protestors terrorists and murderers for spreading COVID, then literally a matter of days later called the costliest riots in U.S history mostly peaceful protests that were incapable of spreading COVID. This was probably the sign that it was all over and we had entered the biological terrorism era.
Solid advice.

I think you are at a point that require deep introspection. It does not matter what others think. You need to take a day with your destiny.
It was a great product - I remember your pitch and indeed we met a few times at the London python for finance meetup (remember the "Enthought Python Distribution"?). The only issue is that Resolver was IronPython-based so there were a bunch of libs that kinda didn't work.

Fine tuning is not a replacement for retrieval augmentation. If you wanted to do that you'd be better off fine-tuning BERT to retrieve data more effectively (identify key points, smarter summarization, cross-encoder relevancy, etc)

Typical FUD numbers.

1. "Cost estimates" are more expensive than solar/wind. You know what they are also more expensive than? The historical costs of ACTUAL 50-year-old plants.

2. Average construction time for a nuclear plant is 6-8 years, with many built in half that time. [1] You can build over half a dozen generations of nuclear power plants before my 401(k) matures.

My poor balls
I think you're partially right. There's zero secret in Mormonville about the fact that people who go on missions are much more likely to become very spiritual and faithful. Most people talk about their "personal conversions" coming while on a mission.

The cynical part that I disagree with you on is I don't think it's about "power." They really believe they have the truth from God and they care about salvation for people getting them on missions is a good way to boost their faith and dedication.
Your cost comparison does not factor in the grid storage required to convert unreliable solar+wind into 24/7 power. You can only directly compare $/MWHr when the proportion of unreliable energy is small, and offsetting reliable sources (i.e. when the cost of electricity is roughly constant). When all generation is unreliable, there's a huge question mark - how long can the grid weather dark, windless days? What's an appropriate safety margin, and what happens when you breach it?

From your own source, the Lazard 2023 LCOE study: "Most LDES (long duration energy storage) technologies have not yet reached commercialization due to technology immaturity and, with limited deployments, seemingly none of the emerging LDES technologies have achieved the track record for performance required to be fully bankable."

Ideally we'd have a combined approach - nuclear base load, renewables and grid scale storage to reduce the number of expensive nukes we need. That way you'll always have at least some power. But we don't have grid storage yet. And without storage, there's not much point in offsetting the output of nuclear plants, since fuel costs are so minimal - you might as well run all the nukes full tilt, all the time. So really, the only sensible thing to do is build primarily nuclear, and renewables in proportion to our ability to deal with wildly fluctuating energy supply.
But it is a catalog! Maybe even a new one. But probably not a new, general catalog.

Well ten years ago you would have said the idea that solar and wind would be 25% of the states power generation in ten years was total nonsense.

But here we are.

Three years ago, well yesterday, you would have said the idea that the state would have 5 GW of utility batteries was nonsense.

But here we are.
Oh, but of course.

Seriously, though, how did they come up with this name for the company?

Literally the first thing that came to mind and there are many more examples.

I use a tool called Junction which allows me to choose which browser opens up a link, which solves for your second issue.

Isolated browsers are much better than isolated tabs.
Thanks! That makes a lot of sense.

My original point wasn't really about the inbound/outbound distinction. It was that these companies can claim they're based on open source, but then N years down the line pull the rug out from underneath us all and re-license their code to be not open source, as HashiCorp recently did. I think this is qualitatively different from e.g. the Linux kernel where we are guaranteed it will be open source in perpetuity.
Just look at instruct fine tuning that is being done to completion models to turn them into assistant models. A few thousand examples are enough to alter the behavior of the model and what and how it outputs things significantly and thoroughly.

Mechanisms like LoRA (a very efficient fine-tuning mechanism that has a accuracy penalty) change only a few layers at the top to alter the model considerably.
I'm not too familiar with the tax rates in the U.S. but wouldn't a post-tax take-home of 36K/year be more in the ballpark of 45K-50K/year?
While not at the kernel level I think WebGPU is probably better than something like Vulkan for that "I can target this low level access to the GPU resources but expect it to work everywhere" use case. Ignoring the name hint that it was designed for the web (it works fine outside the browser), it's a lot more portable than Vulkan across its various implementations precisely because it needed to work on various devices that could browse the web. It's also already backed and supported by all the big players, including Apple.

I think of course that there's room for all sorts of practices, and what everybody needs in order to improve their life is different depending on their specific problems and personality.

For me, I tried meditation at one point for at least 30 minutes a day for two months, and I can honestly say that it didn't seem to do anything for me. Focusing on my breath did not give me self-insights, it did not relax my anxiety, and it did not help me solve my problems.

Talk therapy has been useful although it still never solved my problems.

I'm hesitant to say any one thing is responsible for causing change in me, but one thing that has unquestionably helped is a type of self-therapy called Focusing. It's similar to meditation, but instead of focusing on your breath, it's an ordered process of focusing on your feelings. It has been the source of actual insights into why I feel and behave in certain ways. I think it's a lot closer to what people are looking for from meditation—meditation might give you insights into how your brain works, but it's not designed to give you insights into your real and troubling thoughts and emotions.

Here's the website if you want to look into it https://focusing.org/sixsteps
