I don't think Kaedim set out to rely so heavily on manual human labor (although given the bad actors in the space, I would not be terribly surprised if they did) — their HN post from last year [1] seems sincere and driven by an interesting, personally-motivated problem. But the general trajectory this always seems to follow is:

1) Someone runs into an interesting problem that can potentially be solved with ML/AI. They try to solve it for themselves.

2) "Hey! The model is kind of working. It's useful enough that I bet other people would pay for it."

3) They launch a paid API, SaaS startup, etc. and get a few paying customers.

4) Turns out their ML/AI method doesn't generalize so well. Reputation is everything at this level, so they hire some human workers to catch and fix the edge cases that end up badly. They tell themselves that they can also use it to train and improve the model.

5) Uh-oh, the model is underperforming, and the human worker pipeline is now some significant part of the full workflow.

6) Then someone writes an article about them using cheap human labor.

Last point aside, this isn't a bad trajectory! You really can get to a point where you've automated most of your work, and there will (and arguably, should) always be some humans in the loop. And the manual work really can help you train the automation. But it's getting to that point that can be dicey, and that's why you have articles like these.

We need better visualization than we have, but this is why you attach ticket numbers to all commits.

If the code is toggled off for a ticket in progress, great. If it’s toggled off for an epic in progress, okay. If it’s toggled off and the epic is complete/abandoned, then it’s not dark code, it’s dead code. Fire up the chainsaws.

The old code behind a toggle should be deleted before the feature is Done. If it isn’t then someone screwed up.

Recently I've read "The Comfort Crisis", "Exercised", and finally "Burn". All are in agreement...daily physical activity is our evolutionary norm. That is, the lack of physical activity is counter to our DNA and evolution.

Anecdotally, I run (daily, 2 to 5 miles). No ear buds, etc. Just me and the road. The sweat is good, but being able to clear my head is for me the key benefit. Some people, including myself, have aha ideas in the shower. I tend to have them when I'm on a run.

Physical activity might not be The Answer for All. That said, I cannot imagine the advantage of a lack of physical activity; the benefit from violating our history.

Google is going to release a few mind blowing "per-rendered" examples, then the public model will be a geolocked invite only beta that is severely compute starved and quickly fades into obscurity.
In the picture in the story, the light gray pieces seem like Duplo ones and dark is the "duple compatible" from amazon.
There is not a “decent amount of confidence” and your CNN link provides no proof that there’s any at all outside of a sentence claiming tree rings and coral mean it may be. There is so much disinformation (from both sides) and fear mongering about this subject that anything not a direct and peer reviewed source should not be taken as any kind of proof of anything.
I learned that very thing setting up my home automation. I was originally planning on designing and printing some sort of button arrangement. But I ended up buying a bunch of cheap Walmart tablets.

I found the linked site with an in-depth introduction to Duplo rails even more interesting:

https://www.cailliau.org/Alphabetical/L/Lego/Duplo/Train/Rai...

I owned both "new-type" and "old-type" (black) Duplo rails as a kid. I remember that even as a 4-year-old, I was annoyed with the old-type black rails and greatly preferred the new ones.
Probably not, but what can any individual do about it?

If you want best in class safety tech and no dealer markups, you can just order a Tesla online
Unfortunately lots of people are happy to pay the markups. Some subreddits, including /r/rav4prime , will ban you for speaking negatively about dealer markups or those who pay them. Here's their hilariously condescendingly worded rule 4:

> No demonstrations of economic illiteracy. No negativity regarding markups. You are encouraged to post about current prices and markups and your dealership experiences, but please DO NOT express moral value judgments about markups or their absence (except those involving bait-and-switch).
I bet when you said a 12 litre jug and a 6 litre jug it wrongly assumed that you required it to actually make use of both the jugs in some way (not merely that they were available for possible use), leading to the pointless step.
I am not sure it is what is happening here, but a problem I have seen with internal QA and Security-focused teams is that they are incentivized to file bugs. The number of bugs filed if their monthly/quarterly achievement, it has nothing to do with the quality of those bugs or how they improve the quality of security. Just "hey I found these 10 bugs that I labeled XXX severity".

I just imagine somewhere there are people updating their CV or something else with "filed XX CVE's" like it is some kind of accomplishment for them.
Pasting from our recruiting team: "Unfortunately Puerto Rico is not considered US remote. We do not currently support remote work from Puerto Rico."
It seems like LLMs are becoming a commodity. This just wrote me some code that at first glance is as good as what I get from GPT4.

OpenAI better have some earth shattering thing up its sleeve because I don't understand what their moat is.
It would be dumb discouraging whole grains since they are clearly associated with decreased mortality. According to the paper:

"Dietary risk factors (diet high in red meat, low in fruits, high in sodium and low in milk, etc), alcohol consumption and tobacco use are the main risk factors underlying early-onset cancers."
The theory is actually that some people have standards, some people just want to advance, and in the long run the latter will inevitably dominate the organization.
Nothing wrong with management picking dates, as long as they understand that they're movable.

Find out that there's more work during detailed analysis? Move the dates or change the scope. Find something missed in analysis during implementation? Ditto. Find it during debugging? Ditto.

The problem isn't picking the date. It's the response to the date being wrong. (The date is usually wrong, unless you're in a domain that your team knows very well.)

And why do they respond badly to the date being wrong? Because they think the date can't be wrong. They expect it to be right. Well, if experience has shown us anything, it's that the date is wrong.

And this is what's wrong with waterfall. They take the initial planning as cast in concrete, as brought down by Moses from Mount Sinai on tablets of stone. It's not. The initial plan is written on sand. Acting like that is true is the difference between waterfall and agile.
Not my first project, but an assignment in the first year. It was about minimizing coin change. I had a solution very different from the others, and the teacher wrote something along the lines of "I suppose that'll work too" on my solution. Can't remember what I came up with, though.
"Hey, we aren't seeing results from TDD."

"It must be the bad attitudes on the team."

Or... TDD just isn't the panacea it's proponents make it out to be?
The solution to this problem is to require the submitter to include a unit test that demonstrates the problem along with the CVE. If the unit test succeeds in DDosing or whatever, then the CVE is published. If your unit test fails to produce the security problem, then it is ignored.

Modern cars use a variety of data harvesting tools including microphones, cameras, and the phones drivers connect to their cars. Manufacturers also collect data through their apps and websites, and can then sell or share that data with third parties.

Do I understand this correctly? So all my conversations in a modern car potentially ARE actually being recorded and sent to be indexed and used against me later? Or to sell me stuff based on what I said in the car?

Is this like when ISPs sell my data?
This must be the left wing media everyone is always talking about.
Hi Matt,

it's an internal communication tool for team alignement. We used to sell to HR deps of companies w/ more than 150 employees with distributed workforce and/or multiple offices/HQ.
We lost our customers due to massive COVID layoffs and budget cuts. HR usually is the first dep affected by budget cuts when a company goes into "survival mode".

Since this is the first time we skipped the "100% bootstrapped" path to go to the fund/angel/vc one, we have to deal with these convertible notes.

So the question is: how can we close it quickly and cheaply?
Mostly because they positioned themselves as being a revolutionary AI shop that can crack the 2D->3D mapping with AI. They are not branding themselves as an outsourcing shop but from the circumstantial evidence presented in the article this is what they are.

I think this is another case of a "fake it till you make it" attempt. While legally it might not be in the same category of fraud as Theranos it nonetheless feels pretty fishy when there is a literal man behind the curtain moving the chess pieces.
It was a loan from SpaceX to Musk (not Twitter) and according to the article it was paid back already after a month.

I hope popularity of large models like this one drives more work on CPU inference of quantized models. It is extremely disappointing one can't run 4 or even 8 bit quantized models on a cpu. Inference I did with fp32 on a last gen AVX2 CPU show me it is definitely usable if you're willing to wait a bit longer for each token (I got about 1token per 2s on a ryzen 3700x, 32GB ram, with falcon-7B-instruct and this is with about 1gb of ram in the swap).

I don't quite understand why people aren't working on cpu quantization. Allegedly openvino supports _some_ cpu quantization, but certainly not 4 bit. Bitsandbytes is gpu only.

Why? Is there any technical reasons? I recently checked and for a price of a 24gb rtx3090 I can get a really nice cpu (ryzen 9 5950x) and max it with 128gb of ram. I'd love to be able to use it for int8 or 4 bit inference...

Hey, thanks for the feedback! I just added salaries report as a bonus content to the main article. Do you think it is worth deleting it from this article and just make a new one?
Also the feedback loop where a lot of the symptoms of depression are also causes of depression. And a lot of the verifiable treatments are "do the things a depressed person doesn't do."

Which is not knocking either bit of real and correct knowledge. But from within the beast it's a different problem.
I didnt realize this until I went to a film festival in another country and saw war movies about conflicts the US eventually was involved in, but during time periods before or after and heros and protagonists from other countries in the war.

It was a mixture of noticing how Hollywood has barely any of this, and the awkwardness of rooting for the hero. Just a juvenile cognitive dissonance being overwritten.
The complaint is cookie banners. They litter the Web now as a direct result of GDPR. Website owners didn't just start obscuring their sites because it's fun. They make the Web worse for everyone in the world.

Yes, I know that technically such banners are not required under GDPR. I also know that even the webmasters at The European Commission (see the linked ec.europa.eu site) add cookie banners 7 years after the law was passed. It is not reasonable to expect other organizations to interpret the law more effectively than the EU itself.
Ask HN: Is there a LLM that can read a PDF medical report?
I want to build an app that can analyse data from a medical report in pdf format that also has tabular data as well as text, which itself may be found in various tables.

The LLM would need to be accessed via API and would need to be able to be fine tuned. The PDF's may be up to 130 pages long.

Examples of information that I'd like to derive from the report are:

1. Does the patient have insurance of type X or Y?

2. What are the conditions that the patient is currently listed as having?

3. Is the patient currently taking medication of type X or Y?

4. How long has the patient been suffering from their current condition

5. What is the patients current cholesterol level

6. Which paragraph in the document deals with insurance and billing?

Of course, all of this info is listed in the medical report.
Maybe you could enhance the gouge to make it part of the design? That is the idea behind the Japanese practice of Kintsugi.

"I find your lack of five disturbing" - Darth Vader, probably
> assigning people to tasks in iteration planning meetings works a lot better than trying to stick to your painstakingly created critical path analysis

Imo it depends, and I have been in projects where that approach is also somehow much too late and some answers must be there earlier, or the big picture and some critical paths somehow need to exist. E.g. fine if you can do just software, but what if you need hardware design, or think of production lines? World is complex.
because on a per-inference level, it's _still_ cheaper to use GPU than it is to use CPU, even if you ignore latency and only consider offline batch applications.
Hmm, the background is way too distracting.

If we have more data points in cities, this could skew the results. I live in a forested area and going into the city can easily add 3 or 4 degrees Celsius.
I used to follow Molly's blog and writing and really enjoyed her voice and learned a lot from her. I'm embarrassed to say that it's been a long time since I thought about her, and it's really heartbreaking she passed away so young and after so much struggle.

Our systems suck. Nobody should have to fight so hard to get the treatment they need. It's doubly sad when it's someone who has made significant contributions to the world and then is essentially forgotten. But that shouldn't happen to anybody.
Their current moat is that no one has the guts to release a fully open model. Always strings attached that makes it tricky for commercial use.
Having driven a Tesla for three years now, I basically don’t use the screen while driving. The controls I actually use are on the steering wheel or column (cruise control settings, music control, turn signals) and I have never had a significant issue with leaving wipers, lights and climate on auto
It appears so. TIL.

I would loooooove if a Cadillac Ciel convertible from Pebble Beach 2011 came out, with the suicide doors, no touchscreens, etc. Who’s with me?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadillac_Ciel

The brands don’t often listen to their customers, all of whom clamored for this car ever since it was shown. It only appeared in the “Entourage” movie and it’s a beaut. Nary a single bad review on the entire Internet, but tons of people begging Chrysler to release it and sites devoted to pretending it came out.

Car guys — what is the closest car one can get to this today, in all of human history? Go to Cuba and get some gas-guzzling illegal convertible with tailfins?

And please — no recordings of our conversations and sex in the car so they can send it off to others!
> Diet high in red meat: Nope. Only if your diet is also high in carbs (the American diet). Eating a grass fed steak with some broccoli and walnuts on the side. Ok. Eating a steak with baked potato and chocolate brownie for dessert, na.

Cope. Of course adding broccoli and walnuts will make it healthier. Now substitute meat for beans and it will be even healthier.
My only experience with touchscreen cars is with the Model 3. You don't need the screen for operational stuff needed for driving. Off the top of my head, these are all on the steering wheel/stalks:

- Blinkers

- High beams

- Gearbox

- Climate control temperature up/down

- Cruise control enable/disable, speed change

- Media volume, media next/previous

- Phone call answer/hangup/volume

- Windshield wipers

On the next Model 3 version, they are moving the gearbox controls over to the screen. I have my doubts about that, but I'll complain once I have driven one.
The quality is very good, and I don’t know similar plastic toys for toddlers with the same quality.

I have a lot of Duplo, some are new, some are 20 years old and went through a few toddlers. I can feel difference in tightness. The new ones are much better. Maybe Lego did improve the quality of the Duplo overtime, or they are simply less used.

In my case, I also find the old transparent bricks to not hold so well. They don’t handle much load before detaching.
This is nothing but a long, evasive way to say "no".
CVEs are typically listed by their threat level of the problem. You can probably fine hundreds of non-critical CVEs in many base containers for applications so even PostgreSQL will have it.

The best thing a company can do is ensure there is no path to vulnerability such as exposing the applications to manipulation or inside network attack. This will buy any company worth its mettle time to fix the problems or go through proper risk assessment.

Number one rule always have tightly controlled ingress and egress protecting your applications.
I took advantage of the used car market to upgrade my 2021 Subaru to a 2024 (same car, better trim), there's actually MORE physical controls in the 2024 - hope isn't entirely lost!

I had the exact same experience - I did some of AoC in SML, fell in love with the core language, and even hacked on a toy SML compiler (didn't get too far).

It really is a wonderful language held back by a lack of good tooling and ecosystem, and well, users.
"The loan was followed in 1948 by a free grant of $2.3 billion from the Marshall Plan, with no repayment. In exchange, French cinemas would replace the numerical quota with a "screen quota". This meant that French cinemas were required to show French-made films for four weeks out of every thirteen and leave the other nine weeks of every quarter open to free competition, namely from American films.[5]"

Theranos ran the same playbook, but instead of AI models and human labor, it was blood tests and competitors' lab machines.

I don't see why it's so difficult to be up front about practical limitations and avoid getting in trouble between steps 3 and 4.
Physical activity is undeniably important to managing mood and chronic pain for me.

Something that isn't discussed whenever this topic comes up, though, is how unbelievably hard it is to get started when you aren't active. I had to force myself to go to the gym, take walks etc for six months before I felt like I actually enjoyed those things.

For those of us who default to couch-potato it's a massive barrier that is often ignored (at least, from my experience, by medical professionals).
The part of your post that made me curious was whether fuel mapping, or ECU swapping was illegal. It looks like it is in a grey area under Clean Air Act, but generally interpreted as legal as long as you aren't doing things to make your emissions worse.
Unlocking efficient authZ with Cerbos’ Query Plan
If you've ever dealt w authZ, you know the pain of listing challenge. Imagine having to check permissions for every single piece of content, for every single user, on every single homepage tap (or other action that pulls abnormal amount of content that has to be filtered out before shown) - the efficiency of such checks might get underwhelming really quickly.

This piece scratches the surface of a solution for such a challenge.
It makes sense. Falcon 40B was trained on around 1 trillion tokens. If it was trained to saturation, then Falcon 180B would need to be trained on 180/40=4.5 trillion tokens to saturate it, but it was only trained on 3.5 trillion. And if 1 trillion wasn't enough to saturate the 40B model, then 3.5 trillion definitely won't be enough to saturate the 180B model. If not trained to saturation, then a model can be quantised without losing too much, as it still has "empty space" that can be removed by compression, so to speak.
I've seen quite a few Postman alternatives pop up recently (quite curious what's the reasoning behind that?). Currently I'm mostly using Hoppscotch - also open-source with pretty sweet UI, and Thunder Client in VS Code.

That said, I'd consider switching for type-safety (or more specifically auto-completion) if there was an ability to e.g. import existing OpenAPI schema and automatically pick up the types.

Historical note: that line of thinking also got us UML, which is now largely used as a guide to which shapes to draw on a whiteboard.

Not saying your idea doesn’t have merit, just that I don’t want to end up with a dusty Universal Requirements Language book sitting on my shelf. Anyone who wants such a thing, learn how UML was written and then don’t do it that way.
