If anyone else doesn't understand what the visualisation is supposed to show, note that you can click on one of the nodes and make them fail. Particularly try this with the current "leader" (the thing that's sending and receiving all the packets). Press the little pause icon next to the first slider to turn it back into a clock and resume the simulation.

Has someone else figured out what the spreadsheet on the right is? It looks broken to me (but so I thought the rest of the simulation was before understanding that it only shows the happy flow by default), as it always remains empty. The clickable elements I discovered so far are the two sliders, the clock/pause icon, and the individual servers.
You’re comparing a subjective claim to an objective claim. Let’s be clear, transformers do not “understand.”
Why isnt the frog jumping out of boiling water?

For that to happen you need just two things: 1) somewhere to land where it is not boiling and 2) a trigger.

Today there is nowhere to land where it is not boiling. So triggers do nothing but further desensitise the frog.

People have tried with FOSS in its various strands but its not working.

You cant built a platform for society to land while ignoring how that society works. Principally the money it uses to keep count and the organizational patterns it uses to mobilize resources.

There is nothing predetermimed about the architecture of digital society and it certainly not axiomatic that it must be a dystopia.

Excessive focus on personal freedoms misses the fact that society is not organized around individuals, but rather around coalitions, clans, corporations, collectives etc.

An alternative digital philosophy or platform needs to educate and entice these bigger 'frogs' to act in their own best interest. The rest will be history.
Any comment on how the paper relates to "Every Model Learned by Gradient Descent Is Approximately a Kernel Machine" by Pedro Domingos?

If you look at the chart for the GLD it doesn’t resemble and inflation proof investment imo. Maybe in the extremely long term it is but on a 1 decade time scale for example it certainly is not.
That's kind of the opposite of cash...
Philadelphia is a large port city and is still one of the biggest cities in the US. NJ sits between two major metropolitan areas that are a two hour drive from one another.

As a result, Philly and NJ had a lot more factory industry back then. Towns like Camden and Paterson, that lost to decay and crime now, used to be prosperous factory cities. A lot of NJ’s industry still benefits from its proximity to New York. A lot people that used to live in NYC but now want a yard for their family move to NJ. Large companies tied to NY also do things like put their R&D parks in NJ because it’s close to NYC but has the space they need.
RPGs are ruined by traditional voice acting but naive consumers demand it anyway. The problem is that voice acting places practical constraints on the scope of dialogue in RPGs, rendering the RPGs shallow by necessity.

I see three possible ways forward:

1) Generative AIs are used on the fly by games to create NPCs the player can truly roleplay with

2) VA strike re-calibrates consumer expectations so we can go back to RPGs with text dialogue only, possibly with LLMs instead of scripted conversations. Either way, an improvement over:

3) Continue with the status quo.

Listed in order of preference. From an RPG gamer perspective, the worst outcome is that both human writers and human VAs keep their jobs.
I guess I'll take the bait... why would the scion of a "pure-blood" wizarding family be assigned to breed with someone whose parents are both Muggles? Seems antithetical to the Death Eaters' aims.
That’s science. You can’t expect everyone to know everything. It’s a preprint so this is the first opportunity to provide feedback.
> Rule 7: Don’t use leverage.

> Using margin accounts or mortgages (for other than your home) puts you at risk to lose more than your original investment.

As this says, margin accounts used in a certain way can put you at risk to lose more than your original investment. However, they are sometimes necessary to make investments with little to no additional risk. For example I may own $50,000 worth of XYZ Corp. and want to sell it on a Monday so as to buy $50,000 worth of DEF Corp on that same Monday. I can't do that if I don't have a margin account - settlement is usually T+2 days.

You can incur additional risk with a margin account, but not as much if it's just to borrow money you are almost certain you will have in a few days.
You're thinking of I bonds and so is the poster you replied to.

TIPS are different and there is no purchase limit. They are available as funds/ETFs.
This is a rerun of photographers complaining about digital photography and stock photo websites. Despite their worries, there's still plenty of work in shooting weddings and corporate events. Outside of folks like Roger Deakins, the person behind the lens has always has been fungible, so any argument that AI removes the humanity is dishonest.

In terms of acting, casting is a flexible talent sourcing process that has always cared less about the lowest rungs of talent: guest stars and co-stars. The production companies are struggling to adapt to less-lucrative streaming revenue models and dealing with the impact of covid on moviegoing. The industry is being forced to change and consolidate all at once. As much as I sympathize with the actors, they're arguing from a position of weakness, not strength. Their industry is struggling.

AI is going to bring the costs of production down 100x or more, and we're all going to be the beneficiaries of that. Content will be faster and cheaper to make, cheaper to buy, and it will tailor to an increasingly long tail of interests that have never before been served.

The task has always been storytelling, not location scouting, set decorating, lighting, electrical, blocking, capturing grids of photos, then splicing them together.

Folks that couldn't dream of starting their own film studio will now realistically be able to power than endeavor from home, and that includes these actors and writers that are complaining. The YouTube-ization effect where small creators monetize will lead to Hollywood capital outflows and more money being spent to prop up individual and small team creators.

Those at the bottom rungs are complaining about technology that will give them a bigger platform with more autonomy than they've ever had before. They won't need studio capital to execute on their dreams.
To downvoters: if the phrase "deep state" offends you, you really ought to take off your partisan goggles. Every bureaucracy that grows large enough has its own internal power structures and agenda. The term "deep state" was used by Trump but does not imply support of him when being used to describe issues in other countries.
This SVM summarizes the training dynamics of the attention layer, so there is no hidden-layer. It operates on the token embeddings of that layer. Essentially, weights of the attention layer converge (in direction) to the maximum margin separator between the good vs bad tokens. Note that there is no label involved, instead you are separating the tokens based on their contribution to the training loss. We can formally assign a "score" of each token for 1-layer model but this is tricky to do for multilayer with MLP heads.

Finally, I agree that this is more step-function like. There are caveats we discuss in the paper (i.e. how TF assigns continuous softmax probabilities over the selected tokens).

To me, summary is: Through softmax-attention, transformer is running a "feature/token selection procedure". Thanks to softmax, we can obtain a clean SVM interpretation of max-margin token separation.
Read the repair trip reports for datura, brugmansia and belladonna.

I’m fascinated by the breadth of different experiences offered by plant and chemical mind alteration, and encountered more things than most people have heard of. Reading those reports was enough to make me not want to seek out these deleriants in any way at all.
That sentence, taken as it is written, would imply the exact opposite to me. There may be dialectal differences, of course, but if there are then people are bound to misunderstand this.

If you cannot understate something, then any statement no matter how bad (for example "it is mediocre") is likely to be an overstatement. That's now how you would think of something important.

Double negations are always tricky. "Can not be understated" can more clearly be written as "easy to overstate".

English slang is full of double negations. A sentence such as "I didn't do no harm", which would absolutely mean harm was inflicted, can mean the opposite. So it may be good to avoid them as to not confuse non native speakers.
Companies are cheap.
"How would you use it?" is the entire video's point.

Now, what would that look like in practice. I think you should first forget about the form factor. I think the use of a smartphone (at this stage) is mostly convenience. The best lens/sensor/cpu/gpu combos are sold in this package.

When the first webcams came out, I think I would have been skeptical if someone told me "this will be a mouse soon". Today, most mice are basically very VERY low resolution webcams with buttons[1]. Maybe a new type of controller, musical instruments, or an entirely new thing will come out of this... Or nothing much, like the two research paper mentionned. In a mouse form factor i think it could be use for some of the functions of a spacemouse[2].

If you want accuracy, a mechanical watch is not the right answer. Update: Best I've seen is +/-0.3 sec/day (3 ppm). Quartz can exceed this by 10x-100x. An atomic clock can beat that by many orders of magnitude.

But I'm definitely not lugging around a sextant and a cesium clock just in case.
It might also simply sterilize an area, allowing fast spreading fungi to temporarily dominate in the absence of normal biological competitors.
Sorry, in the blog post you were talking about the HashMap being expensive, and I didn't spot one of the usual "cheap" hashing libraries being in use. That's where I got wondering if you'd missed an easy boost.
Evil mode, I guess
Superficially that makes sense, but on reflection you may observe that logic will apply to any assets as the relative prices change. Rebalancing from any asset to shares when shares are cheap will net good results.
Less complexity. Every file is a template; you sync your dotfiles folder however you want, and then just run one command to apply. Profile-based approach which defines a set of custom variables that you can use freely in your templates.
Thanks for this, very interesting.

Prompted me into ordering a choc switch tester from KPrepublic, as honestly it’s the switches that make me hesitant (just unfamiliar).

I’d been considering an Advantage 360 but have been put off by the reports of problems. I’m a current Advantage 2 user, and it’s great, though I find the little finger (pinky) keys a bit awkward.
Exactly this. C# (and Java but I have less experience there) was designed for an IDE, otherwise one spends a lot of time editing metadata files). That's why to use C# productively, one essentially has to learn the IDE (VS or Rider).

But once you do, the IDE gives you a lot of stuff for free. Project-wide refactoring, artifact management, project-wide type-checks/completions, impeccable visual debugger, visual form designers, etc. You can do all this from the CLI but it's just a pain.

(caveat: my experience was pre-.NET core. .NET core may have simplified all of this)
Many people believe the price of gold is being artificially suppressed or is artificially lagging since it is not behaving the way it typically does. If it can no longer be kept low, it will probably move quickly to a true market price.

Is that true? JP Morgan and Deutche Bank have been caught manipulating the price, but it would probably need to be the Fed to keep it suppressed for as long as it has been. They certainly have the motive, but no one has proven that they are doing it.
There are sip gsm gateways. Some that can take 16+ sims. Take a look on AliExpress.
Actually, at the very high end of luxury watchmaking they prefer lower beat movements as it increases the service interval, exotic escapements like the remontoir are primarily for exhibition purposes/bragging rights.
I was trying to use the specific phrasing the fxhash crate authors used, but screwed it up. Brain was half asleep when I wrote my comment, I think.

> It is not a cryptographically secure hash, so it is strongly recommended that you do not use this hash for cryptographic purproses. Furthermore, this hashing algorithm was not designed to prevent any attacks for determining collisions which could be used to potentially cause quadratic behavior in HashMaps. So it is not recommended to expose this hash in places where collissions or DDOS attacks may be a concern.
Takes a lot these days to keep this timeline from popping up in one's head and follow some conspiracy theories about total governmental control through perverted usage of language and weird (incompetent?) regulations on things digital (speaking as a German here, pointing at EU regulations).

I mean, the only thing we (as "the informed people") can do about it, is to keep open and working alternatives for "the masses" to step in on an instant when things are going south with commercial or governmental controlled products.

An example that comes up is Mastodon. It's weird, not necessarily bug-free and has a steep learning curve, compared with commercial alternatives. Still, it manages to attract those people that you want to talk with and every time I'm skimming through the timeline, I'm seeing something remarkable.

We do already (Fairphone, Firefox, etc.) but should work more on keeping up the good tradition of providing free alternatives. When we're too powerful, we'll be getting criminalized but that would just add some more fun to it.
I haven't tried other models, but if you prompt a recent ChatGTP with "academic style" and ask it to "review and provide feedback" of a paragraph you wrote it will reword it using the most fancy, overselling words it can find.
I liked to use it for improving grammar and style, but in later iterations ChatGTP started writing garbage...

I'm not sure if that is because training, feedback from users or an attempt to make usage is LLMs obvious to teachers.
To correct, the Fair Market Value of the common stock went from $4 to $4.75. Saying "Price" indicates you can sell at that value, you most likely can not sell your stock for any price right now. You should value those shares at 0 in your future financial planning.

tldr; You bought $500 in lottery tickets with an undetermined draw date in the future with a high chance that it won't happen.

I still think it's wrong that HN needs my email address to delete accounts and comments, but yes I finally broke down and did this their way.

I'll miss the good parts of this community, but the selective moderation and toxic flag-or-downvote-truths-i-dont-like-instead-of-discuss-them parts of the community have ruined this site for me.
Discord is a cancer. While I don’t understand the appeal, I’ve been around long enough to no longer be surprised by people sacrificing control of their information for trivial short term gain.
I have dozens of checking accounts (yes, dozens, I used to play the signup bonus game) and never "showed up" to verify anything, the process is entirely carried online. Where are you living?
Yes the practical aspect of schematics logistics would prevent this even if everything else was in an ideal world.

Even a fairly old ARM based CPU such as in the Pi 4, has billions of transistors. And miles of wiring.
It’s entirely reasonable to desire boundaries between nothing and … the universal approximation theorem!
Hanlon's razor is for idiots. Every mischievous child figures out the "it was merely an accident" excuse and it's not as though adults who are up to no good somehow forget it.

Whatever the reason discord has for not asking me for PII, it's not incompetence. This isn't a bug or oversight, I am certain of that.
> The plan is to stay close enough for that not to happen, at least that’s how I understand it.

That's a shame. I have no interest in CI and other "enterprise-y" features and was hoping to side-grade to Forgejo. I run my instance on an Raspberry Pi Zero and my non-latest version of Gitea is a memory-hog as it is. I'll be giving Gogs another look.
Pjsip ships with a cli ua. I use it quite a bit for testing.
The only thing breathless seems to be your response to the article. It seems like a pretty straightforward laying out of the facts along with official recommendations and statements.
I’ll be a bit pedantic and say, that even by the Swift (or rust) language:

1. Crashes aren’t unsafe. They’re actually preferable for both Swift and rust than getting into an unsafe state with incorrect data. So in that sense, crashes are the seen as safe, just undesirable as an outcome.

2. Memory leaks can’t be unsafe any more than a badly optimized algorithm.

But yes, they’re sloppy and should be avoided. I just contend that there’s no real case where I think they should be considered unsafe from the model of a programming language.

They might be unsafe from the model of a context specific use. E.g you wouldn’t want a memory leak locking up your system in vehicular automation. But I’d fall back to it just being sloppy programming if that state is achieved.
> It seems to be another natural reaction, to forget the impact, it fades away.

I think this is pretty universal for a society, our collective memories are pretty short and highly influenced by the newest threat.

A perfect example of this is US law enforcement tracking of anti-government white supremacists in the 90s. After the OKC bombing, FBI dedicated significant resources to infiltrating and tracking white supremacist and extremist anti-government groups. Then 9/11 happened and the entire LEO and intelligence community put all of their weight into Islamist counterterrorism and they stopped tracking white supremacists altogether.

22 years have gone by and we’re just now starting to rededicate those resources back to white supremacy now that the movement is much more active.
I’m not clear where the article says people are going to starve or die or dehydration.
It isn't reductive. At the end of the day, that's exactly what it comes down to.
They sorta still do this as a part of their business for sure.
I'm in the beginning of that age group so I'm gonna have to look into this.
I see comments saying this is nonsensical, but most of this seems plausible. Like, as a former number theorist, this paragraph would also describe my guess as to what the prompt meant:

So, when talking about the "adelic representations of quantum groups," you're likely referring to a framework that seeks to describe the action of quantum groups in terms of the adeles (or ideles). This would be a way to unify and generalize certain aspects of the representation theory of quantum groups, making use of the rich structure of the adeles.

Admittedly, I don’t know what the “tautological action” might be, as I’m not super knowledgeable about quantum groups. But, that notion wasn’t even introduced by ChatGPT, it was introduced in the prompt.

It’s a lovely story but a prime candidate for “correlation !== causation”.
RWKV performs poorly in practice.
I cheerfully point out that cash also doesn't resemble an inflation proof investment. The difference is gold's value ambles around a level, and cash trends down.
One way to parse “Content will be faster and cheaper to make, cheaper to buy, and it will tailor to an increasingly long tail of interests that have never before been served,” is that we will be adrift on a sea of garbage.

If a person now alive pictures the state of “content” getting far worse, that’s something profound to consider.
The headline says this is about Silicon Valley, but most of the text seems devoted to bragging about India. Is this all because of one offhand remark made by one tech executive?

To the original question: I would much rather have Silicon Valley execs or HN readers in general making the decision. What's the alternative? Some gender studies major? Some film studies dreamer?
Not all unionized actors are "big name".

I've done it to monitor my phone for weird traffic, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you're dedicated and willing to deal with janky tooling.

Magisk + mitmproxy + Frida + an isolated WiFi network works pretty well for traffic monitoring. With mitmproxy you can also write scripts to fake APIs (which can help you with your attempt to fake the network connectivity status).
Cash is frequently used as shorthand for liquid.
Done. So they're calling out things that could happen, driving the point home by placing them in a timeline. That makes the issue top of mind again for people, potentially spurring them into action - even if just by e.g. making it one of people's considerations in their next election.
I don’t recall any cash-only businesses even back then. I did carry some cash, but I barely used it.

Pretty sure there's going to be more than a few against the organizers, and maybe the authorities for allowing it to go through despite the forecasts and not getting people out fast enough. Which is ironic considering the general (or at least loudest) philosophy of Burning Man goers is one of laissez-faire techno libertarianism
Well it does, because if you trust a bank to not freeze your accounts, then you dont need to hold so much cash.

As to having multiple bank accounts, have you heard of data sharing?

If you have multiple bank accounts in your name, across multiple banks, they can all be frozen, just look at how sanctions work of foreign entities.

You obviously dont know how credit reference agencies work. So in the UK, the electoral register (open and closed) is used by credit reference agencies to see if you are linked to an address. The credit reference agencies then pass on information to would be lenders and banks, and banks also update the credit reference agencies with your monthly bank account totals and your direct debit payments so they can see your monthly outgoings and see if you are paying your overheads reguarly, so other banks and lenders can see if you are worth lending money to.

Now even if you dont need to borrow money, pay your bills as soo as they come through the letter box if they are not handled by direct debit, that information is still passed on by your bank to multiple credit reference agencies who then disseminate the data around the world to different countries because programming teams can exist in multiple countries, different laws and then you get stuffed if you value your privacy, and thats before hackers get involved hacking the likes of Experian.
