Find a local credit union. They are better in literally every conceivable way. They have stronger financial controls, better service, better fees for all their financial products, and basically every credit union is part of the STAR network which is the largest ATM network in the world.

I've seen the exact complaint of yours a few times over several social networks in the past couple weeks, so the word is definitely out there. Chase is shit, but we all knew that already. Time to move your money, and stop supporting these crooks. It's actually super simple. It takes maybe an hour to convert everything from Chase to a credit union. Open the account with the credit union first, and they'll give you everything you need to transfer everything over, even credit cards that aren't fully paid off etc. Then you walk into a Chase branch for the last time ever, and move it all.
Cross-entropy loss can start getting worse due to the model becoming less calibrated, even as the classification accuracy continues to improve. I first heard that here: https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.04599

Is this 'overconfidence' the leading explanation as to why LLMs continue to show qualitative improvement even after their test loss levels off?

Well, the labor force has finally decided they're not going to do hard work for starvation wages. The guys running the companies have increased prices, but haven't sent that money down to the labor force.

I'm not talking about some software thing that automatically checks whether some image ("the edited image") is "similar enough" to some other image ("the original"). I'm claiming that their approach gives any interested person the ability to eyeball both versions and draw their own conclusions that way -- and that this is adequate for images intended for human consumption. (I didn't say the last part explicitly until now, mind you.)

The problem I have with most of this deep storage tech, is the logarithmic leaps in both duration and density offered, but without clear explanation of how it is both down in the single-digit atom/molecule scale write event, requires low enough energy to change state immutably (?) that it's achievable, yet can resist thermal and other energy (particles? cosmic rays?) to remain un-flipped for centuries or longer.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminescence_dating is a thing. So.. isn't this functionally changing the material in "reading" its imputed age? It doesn't take a citys worth of electricity to do this. Admittedly, the "data" has persisted for thousands of years, but its a statistical average over a sample not bit-accurate.

Presumably there's error correcting codes, sequences, a gross signal timebase or positional "record" marker, all those things which have to sit around the tiny grain of sand with the entire bible in it, probably make it a bit "bigger" in all senses.

Rolex has had issues for decades with authorized dealers who leverage potential buyers into buying other items, just to have a chance at buying the Rolex they want. Also dealers who sell high demand watches to friends or known resellers. A year ago if you could get a 126710BLRO on a jubilee you would pay around $14,000 after taxes, but could resell for $23,000 to gray market dealers. The prices have come down a lot, but you can still make around $6,000 if you can take delivery of this watch.

These games have hurt the brand, and Rolex is changing the game by buying a luxury retail chain that will likely specialize in getting the right watch to the right person and cut the gray market guys out. That along with their new secondary market for pre-owned Rolexs. It’s a brave move, and a lot of third party “investors” will likely lose a good deal of paper profits when the prices stabilize.

One of the very best development teams I worked with had an interesting take, they always did database migrations first. Any new state that was to be added to the system could only be done so by first adding the new database fields or tables. This ensure that version 1 of the code would work with version 1 and 2 of the database. They would then roll out version 2 of the code, but have the new features hidden behind a feature flags (in the database), ensuring that version 2 could run, without using the new database schema. Once they where confident that everything was still running on version 2 of the code and database they'd enable the new feature. Later the feature flag could be migrated from the database to a properties file, saving the database lookup.

I wouldn't necessarily call this approach simple, but it was incredibly safe and rollbacks was always a none event.

> "both may require, depending on a court's interpretation, the zfs kernel module to be distributed under CDDL or GPL respectively".

That's wrong, and misses fundamental information about the CDDL.

First, the CDDL gives absolutely no fucks how you licence a resulting binary. It only cares about the specific covered source files, and doesn't care what you bundle them with. So nobody would ever argue that the module should be licenced as CDDL.

On the flip side, you'd have a really hard time arguing that the module should be licensed as GPL.* Sure, there's maybe a GPL wrapper, but lots of modules are non-GPL even when they might feature such a wrapper. ie. nvidia. You also can't argue ZFS is a derived work of the kernel, which is really the crux of the issue. ZFS was first written on solaris, developed for several years on freeBSD, and remains neutral across 3-5 different supported OSs. There's nothing to indicate the GPL should have more claim over ZFS than the wrapper.

The one and only place you'll ever run into trouble is if you start trying to distribute ZFS *source code* in the kernel source tree, as a fully integrated part of the kernel. (EDIT: or compiled together in a single kernel binary, from said combined source) The CDDL doesn't care about the mixing but the GPL does. Literally everyone agrees this is a bad idea and nobody does it.

*Let's ignore for a moment for the moment that you *couldn't* since the GPL requires complete corresponding source code and you can't relicence the CDDL source code files.

Ask HN: Decent VPN with a good reputation?
Sorry for asking about this, but Google results are just full of garbage ad placements for stuff like this. I used Express for a long time, but I'd like to switch over to something with a really rock solid reputation for not tracking and such. There's at least one I know has been talked about before but I forget the name.

Was it mulvad? Don't think its nordvpn.

I always got a little worried about Express vpn's constant updates. Encryption is a really well-hammered area of computer science by now. Sure, its an especially difficult area of security coverage, but nothing's changing fast enough to require weekly client updates from the vpn provider. I'm still using my 4096 encryption keys I made with OpenSSH almost 10 years ago with no worries about them being broken any time soon. So getting constant updates from my vpn provider does not give me any confidence in what they're doing except perhaps trying to insert stuff onto my system that I don't want.

Are there any commercial VPN's that I can use at a really base level from the CLI? I feel like I'd be more comfortable if I could write out a bash alias that performs a known quantity of steps using OSS vpn software that I could at least run and evaluate step by step, if needed.
Thanks!

And the context around that is helpful. Apparent Jaffa was #notafan of Claremont ultimately:

Jaffa would have been disappointed but unsurprised by the institute’s fealty to Trump, according to one of his sons, Philip Jaffa, who said his late father had grown disturbed by the institute’s teachings.

Philip Jaffa said his father had harsh words for the institute, which he “repeated endlessly those last few years.”

“They did not wait to bury the teaching with the teacher,” Jaffa recalled his father saying. “What they are trying to do is put a top hat on Jefferson Davis and call it Abraham Lincoln and the dust cover of the ‘Nicomachean Ethics’ on ‘Atlas Shrugged’ and call it Aristotle.”

> static analysis isn't going to deal with every scenario like access based on inputs.

Not true.

With proper abstraction, static analysis proves the absence of bugs under all relevant inputs, which gives stronger guarantees than testing at development time (which only checks for a number of inputs), and is more performant than runtime checks (without runtime overhead).

An example is the use of a static type system, which eliminates a whole class of bugs under all possible values of the same type (those due to type mismatch: passing a string into a function expecting an integer), which is stronger than a test suite testing certain inputs, and does not have runtime overhead (unlike runtime checks).

Going further than usual type systems, people study refining types by possible values (such as positive integers as a refinement of all integers), and the result is refinement types, which is what Liquid Types is based on. And you can see this in action in the full example [1], such as { n : Int | 0 <= n } which refines n to be a positive integer.

[1]: https://github.com/Gabriella439/slides/blob/main/liquidhaske... "Full program - Scrap your Bounds Checks with Liquid Haskell"

> Lumping them together is pretending there is something happening that isn't.

Correct. Static analysis can formally verify correctness under every access (like runtime checks), but without the runtime overhead (unlike runtime checks), with proper abstraction.

That is why compile time verification is an upgrade from runtime checks.

OK, in reality the trick is that static analysis removes redundant runtime checks (check exactly once), see the sibling discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37376963.

PS: I figured that setting the record strict may benefit others, such as https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37380176, hence this reply.
As soon as there are arm binaries, we will make an app out of it :)
But if you have say 50bn weights, and you run backprop, you are going to update most of the weights (except the dropout ones, but which ones drop out changes on every token I think). This means you need 50bn deltas. It might compress, but if you do then you need extra compute to do that.
This bit of context is a bit more robust than most you offer @dang - do you have some tool?

>nobody's going to request the huge RAW files for every photo

I don't see this as a big issue as there are several easy ways around it -- the simplest being that the camera could compute and store a second digital signature of a smaller, JPEG-compressed version at photo time. Another possibility is third-party businesses popping up that you (or even high-quality news agencies themselves) pay to do the human verification for you.

>> If a producer goes out of business they should be forced to

Going out of business is a loaded expression yhat covers many scenarios.

For example if my company is acquired am I 'going out of business' ?

If I go bankrupt then my assets are sold off to pay creditors. Certainly the IP is an asset and it ultimately turns up somewhere. Releasing it before sale would be illegal in some places (disposing of assets while the business is insolvent for below-market value. )

I know what we experience are abandoned PalmOS devices, but fundamentally PalmOS is owned by a legitimate company and has some nominal value.

I think mandating requirements on the owner is a better approach. They reduce the asset value, so if it doesn't sell it could be released as public domain. But that in turn gets very complicated if there are multiple code suppliers, and the downstream goes bust, but upstream is fine.
I think the one you're thinking of is Mullvad. They let you make an account without even telling them your email address. You just create an account number and pay (anonymously, if you like).

Then you use etcd or consul.

I would claim that release a new feature by enabling additional code path across multiple apps at once is a bit of an anti-pattern. It seems rather dangerous and error prone. In that case I'd actually release it in reverse order, so to speak. Release the apps that use the services of others first and have it check is this service is available/functional and if not, skip calling it. The release the feature to the next service down the stack. Then you can always rollback the last service and be confident that the callers still work.

It's way more work and I can see why for certain types of application isn't not really worth the trouble.
Apple relies on the ARM ISA so this new agreement may cover ARMv9 or something. If you want to argue that an ISA is not a "design" journalists don't understand the difference.

The article makes the case that Snowden was NOT a whistleblower:

“ "I want to emphasize this: my active searching out of NSA abuses began not with the copying of documents, but with the reading of them. My initial intention was just to confirm the suspicions that I'd first had back in 2009 in Tokyo. Three years later I was determined to find out if an American system of mass surveillance existed and, if it did, how it functioned."

With this, Snowden basically admits that he isn't a whistleblower: he wasn't confronted with illegal activities or significant abuses and subsequently secured evidence of that, but acted the other way around, by first gathering as much information he could get and then look whether there was something incriminating in it.

In his memoir, Snowden doesn't come up with concrete misconducts or other things that could have triggered his decision to hand the files over to journalists. He even omits almost all the disclosures made by the press, which makes that Permanent Record contains hardly anything that justifies his unprecedented data theft.”
Yes I think your case is OK. The question is more say your team decides to use a new feature, let's say it is GPT5 via Azure for example, with TF. Then you need to keep up to date. I am not heavily into TF so I don't know if that is possible with the pinned terraform and using later providers versions or how that works. But it seems more hassle than just using the latest of everything.

Note I am talking about "keeping up" as a general need for IaC - but it might turn out that the TF fork is a better place to do that in the long term. Time will tell.
