Tesla isn't getting anything. Twitter is getting money. That's the point.

He's moving money from a company that he controls to a company that he owns wholly. In other words, using Tesla shareholder money to get himself out of a tight spot. Sure looks like fraud to me.

Ask HN: Is AI a glorified memory machine?
If every problem is bounded by a bunch of data points on a multi-dimensional plane, and some sort of clustering is done on them that reflects the problem domain, then isn't running through the samples during training equivalent to memorizing them and associating them and allowing for a small margin of error making it look like the model is able to generalize.
In short, doesn't that just boil down to how good we made our samples and setting the whole process in a way to memorize those samples ?
Agreed, that's why we need properly written regulations that don't leave ambiguities to be debated after the law is written.

And also, we should probably normalize amendments to laws, instead of canonizing them.

um, lemon markets don't get fixed by simple regulation.

A seller has a motivation to sell which the buyer doesn't have direct access to: "I'm moving, need to sell my car"; "I get a new car every year, sell my old one"; "this car has tons of problems". The buyer's motivation is clear, "I want a good car for the price".

Since the market is a mix of lemon cars and good cars, the prices are somewhere in between. If the prices for good cars reflect lemons, the guy selling will say "I can't get enough for my car, I'll buy a new car every two years." The guys with the lemons still want to sell their cars. Now there are fewer good cars in the pool, and prices drop even more.

Now the guy who is moving will try to find somebody in his family he can sell it too, but the lemon guys still want to sell theirs.

This is why a brand new car loses so much value the minute you drive it off the lot. It's not a problem that can be completely solved with regulation; although some of the large players, like rental car companies, can be more easily regulated to not roll their odometers back, keep repair records, etc. However, they still get caught cheating.
I think it's a typical "depth vs breadth" kind of deal.

Sure it's exciting to keep drilling down to discover newer ores or whatever... but you have to stop at one point and actually start going wide and explore the site.

Same with AI, the drilling depth might have stalled for now, but excavating breadth is still wide open with possibilities. Who know what connections we will make with the new discoveries we make, when AI discoveries from one sector interact with discoveries from another sector.
Didn't Ponzi make material lies about what his company did also? It just seems like a dubious distinction. More than what they did being different, I think the laws and terminology around those laws are different now. I don't think there is much pragmatic difference, mostly just semantics no?

I don't think this is true Dagger2. Having an ip4 only website will not make a single person leave because it's too slow for them.
Yes. I am sure the paper makes adjustments, error corrections. They're good scientists. But I'm a layperson. So, I guess the problems are headlines. Because the headline didn't say confirm, but it states positively Time ran slowly

Outside of a dog, a cigar is a mans best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to see.

Inside of a slowly running time period, a second is still a second, surely? So I ask myself how inside the universe, we can make assertions about the relative speed a second "is" but remain inside the same system. The implications some other attribute of observed reality can remain unchanged, and confirm the "duration" of a second was different then, to now, based on observations made solely within this universe.. I'm struggling.
Likewise, same result for me too but I get it. It's a language model. It makes a best guess based on the information it was provided so I trust it on the things I'm familiar with but verify on those that I'm not.

Did Nvidia get lucky even though Intel was bigger at the time or could it have been predicted that AIs would work better in GPUs?
Yeah, after reading the blog post I felt reasonably confident that this is a compiler bug (in terms of perf).

Hopefully someone with a deeper understanding can verify or discredit this here. I'm curious to see the fix for this (I assume it will generate a fix).
The fact that it does not scale into a far far future where more than 0.00000000125% of the humans is in orbit/space does not mean that it is not a good system for today & the upcoming decades.
It's hard to see how making $400k offers is exploiting the worker, rather than the worker exploiting the company.
I thought Nvidia just make graphics cards for games, how did they end up making general purpose CPUs like Intel that actually is more powerful than Intel
Clean energy isn’t free nor is the actual infrastructure required. Round trip efficiency for hydrogen is currently ~18% excluding horrifically expensive fuel cells which are completely off the table for these ships. On top of this you got to pay for the infrastructure to actually make the hydrogen + infrastructure to store the stuff + the increased costs of building ships to handle it.

Even optimistic estimates put Hydrogen well above bunker fuel.

> Nobody is using anything like a battery powered ship for long distance travel.

Cargo ships with hot swapping batteries are already in use. At that point it’s Europe to Asia is an infrastructure problem not a research problem. People hope to eventually solve Hydrogen’s issues with production and storage but have made minimal progress over the last 20 years. Just because we want technology to work doesn’t mean it’s actually possible to build it.

Hell just look at how much people have hyped up Nuclear as a source of cheap electricity as long as we invest in more R&D. Except even with huge investments in new designs etc there’s been zero actual progress in lowering costs.
I wish there was such a thing as an in-window heat exchanging ventilator. Yes, I can just run the heater, but I shouldn’t have to. And punching a whole in my wall to install something permanent is so… permanent. And expensive!

The fact that matter warps spacetime still blows my mind. We can basically neglect the effect on light near Earth, although it's still present. But that "gravity" is merely what we call the minimizing the action of matter near a warped spacetime is an astonishing claim. If I'm being honest, I really only believe it because people I believe are smarter say it is so; it's so strange and alien that I find it almost impossible to accept. Luckily, apart from a few minor effects here and there, I don't have to think about it and can just accept gravity as a simple force with some unknown mechanism behind it, like Newton did, and I have to say that makes me happier. This talk of time slowing down gives me the creeps.

Yes, yes you do. Even with all the nice things there are very few things that are actually useful and usable. Even web components are no longer advertised as "framework replacements", but as "yeah, they are aimed at library and framework authors" (and vanishingly few libraries and frameworks use them due to their many shortcomings)

I read it three or four times. It's never explained. If the print("lol") version has a branch-less-than, what does the regular version have? It must either be a branch or a conditional move, but we aren't shown that part of the assembly. You can't reach any conclusions about why one version is faster if you don't know what you're comparing to.

I'm really stunned by the fact that, it seems, so few people get this. It's not a robot in the dense of Commander Data from Star Trek. It's a recursive software method that just has unfathomable amounts of data to base it's guess for some correct sentences on.

There is no logic, no reasoning, no nothing. Yet people complain it's 'giving me wrong answers'. Well, it doesn't know what's it's giving you either way. It only knows the statistics or odds about the sentences it creates being similar to what others have said before.
Confused, why do you think this is a compiler bug? You should definitely expect a predictable branch to be faster than a conditional move, and the insertion of a conditional move in the original is totally sensible (albeit not intuitive if you haven't seen it).

Clean energy is regularly free or even negatively priced. It is at the very least, extremely cheap. It's funny how PV panels at 20% efficiency never stopped it from catching on. Making the same accusation against hydrogen is just repeating this already debunked argument.

The whole infrastructure for hydrogen will just repurpose or modify natural gas infrastructure. It is not expensive. It will be vastly cheaper than trying to do it entirely with batteries. And without any resource constraints, it is guaranteed to eventually be cheaper than bunker fuel. Again, you are repeating anti-wind and anti-solar argument the past. If those technologies plunged to nearly nothing in cost, why would the next renewable technology that relies on an extremely plentiful substance be any different?

Finally, you're entering into the "I'm just making this shit up" phase of your argument. People have already made ships to run on hydrogen. Something similar has happened with a variety of other green fuels like methanol, ammonia, etc. None of this is even that challenging of a problem. The only thing that is proving to be hard is trying to power everything with a battery. It is totally nuts for ships, and that's even before realizing how much it costs.

FYI, nuclear has been killed off due to legislation, many due to fears over radioactive waste. But hydrogen and other chemical fuels have no such concerns. It will scale the same as wind and solar did.
> worrying too much about the performance of error handling in these relatively rare cases is absolutely premature optimization.

It's not something to worry about, but it's also a premature optimization to include when there is no need. The Go team considered adding stack traces as described before 1.13, postulating that it would be useful, but measurement determined that they were rarely used in the real world.

If your measurements (you are measuring, right?) that pertain to your specific situation tells a different story, they aren't something to be afraid of, but would be silly to make the default for everyone. The standard tools don't need to serve every single use case ever imagined.

The reality is, unless you forget how to program every time you see the word error (which seems to be a thing), in the real world you are never going to just `return err` up, up, up the stack anyway. Even ignoring traceability concerns, that is going to introduce horrible coupling. You wouldn't do that for any arbitrary type T, so why would you for type error? There is nothing special about errors.

When you've had thousands of hours of free external contributions to the ecosystem, where is the actual ownership? Is it still "your project"? And if so, to what extent? What are your obligations to the community members and/or external contributors?

On the monetization question - do you need to give others the opportunity to give money back? If so, who should assess the size and "adequacy" of these contributions? If you don't provide the opportunity for others to sponsor the project, does it change your rights and obligations?

These are not easy questions, and now our entire industry is trying to work out the answers. OP's is one voice in this discussion, and an important one given GitLab's prominence and the fact that they took a different path, which seems to be working well for them.

It's also a way more complex problem for software like Terraform that explicitly depends on the work of others for its core functionality than for something that works perfectly fine standalone, like Hashi's Vault, or indeed GitLab itself.

What's the point that what Debian developers use? Historically, Linux developers used proprietary BitKeeper.
I get that. But in practice, it hasn't been a problem. For files I consider critical and difficult to replace, I use SnapRAID or par2, and others are either used frequently and I would notice the corruption, or replacing them wouldn't be a problem.

Using a smart filesystem would be an improvement, but it comes at the expense of less flexibility and more complexity, and, until recently on Linux at least, relying on unstable software.
On Windows you may consider using higher level IO routines. For example, for HTTP requests you can use WinHTTP which is super fast and scalable. For other IOs you can use Windows Thread Pool API(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/procthread/t...) so that you do not need to manually manage threads or register/unregister IO handlers/callbacks. gRPC uses that.
Though Windows IOs internally are all async, actually it makes using sync I/O easier and you do not need to say it is a super bad idea. Windows has IOCP. If the machine has n logical CPUs, you may create a thread pool with 2*n threads. And, by default the operating system will not make more than n threads active at the same time. When one of the threads is doing blocking IO and entered IO wait state, the OS will wake-up another thread and let it go. This is why the number of threads in the thread pool needs be larger than than the number of CPUs. This design doesn't lead to an optimal solution, however, practically it works very well. In this setting you still have the flexibility to use async IOs, but it is not a sin to use sync IO in a blocking manner in a thread pool.

Disclaimer: I work at Microsoft and ship code to Windows, but the above are just my personal opinions.

It’s the only language I could think of that could express a whole working example in only a couple of lines of code in a highly readable way.

Other languages I know would require imports/boilerplate that would distract (Go/C#/C/Python/Scala/JS) from the example. Bash might be more familiar with devops but less familiar to regular programmers — part of the illustration I wanted to make was that it didn’t need to be a devops thing. Also PHP (along with JS) is a language most devs know a little bit about, whether they want to or not.
