Even a linear growth rate of average RAM capacity would obviate the need to run current SOTA LLMs remotely in short order.

Historically average RAM has grown far faster than linear, and there really hasn't been anything pressing manufacturers to push the envelope here in the past few years... until now.

It could be that LLM model sizes keep increasing such that we continue to require cloud consumption, but I suspect the sizes will not increase as quickly as hardware for inference.

Given how useful GPT-4 is already. Maybe one more iteration would unlock the vast majority of practical use cases.

I think people will be surprised that consumers ultimately end up benefitting far more from LLMs than the providers. There's not going to be much moat or differentiation to defend margins... more of a race to the bottom on pricing
c) the workplace culture is not transmitted just at work, or in the specific company one works for. It is a matter of expectations, the circle of friends overlapping with the circle of professional acquaintances, of media consumed, of etiquette.

Working remotely does not mean being in a cave since birth and communicate with a radio with your manager and co-workers.

There are some cultures, and I come from one of them, who are different, and let's limit ourselves to work culture informed by the culture of the country at large, from the U.S. work culture. For instance, Indian culture is very hierarchical, more title-oriented than the U.S. work culture, and largely people don't like--or straight-up refuse--to admit they don't know something.
That's probably it, I was thinking how odd it is that “Should Taiwan be independent” doesn't get the obvious Party-given answer, but they probably couldn't get it to be consistent enough and it's easier to get it to refuse sensitive topics entirely.
When I worked at one of the tech giants that develops a certain suite of office apps, the C++ class they used to model URLs in the cross platform layer had a flaw around escaped characters. I worked in the group that developed the iOS/macOS versions of the apps and we had a number of kludges in place to deal with conversion between these C++ classes and NSURL and CFURL. In my time on different occasions devs discovered the flaws and composed lengthy emails explaining the fixes that needed to be made, but the C++ class was too entrenched to be fixed. That was about 5 years ago, I doubt it has changed.
> may be wise to put more away now, but even pay-as-you-go pensions have a long history of working out even if there is greater risk.

What is the definition of working out? Of course they work out, as long as there is enough of a tax base to keep soaking. But that is a poor definition of working out, as I have no interest in paying for labor performed decades ago.

When it doesn’t work out is when you get into a Detroit situation. Or most recently, Chester, PA, where there isn’t a sufficient tax base to soak anymore.
the TUI library for tcell has mouse support, though you see it more in tview (or one of the dozens of maintained forks)

I've already experimented with dropdown menus and minimizing sections. While I too love the TUI and keyboard driven experience, many want something they can click on, less overhead from every application having their own hotkeys. For me, it's about reaching more people, and the hope that I can bring more of them into the mouseless development experience
How is this supposed to work for an average react project with 7492 npm dependencies?
> Don't blame government for giving colleges a means to sell worthless unproductive degrees at premium tuition with inescapable terms that hurts the applicant's buying power.

That was the boomers, whi right when they became politically dominant fostered that as the primary mechanism for college affordability.

> And don't blame the people who made poor decisions, despite the volumes of information available.

You mean the people that shifted the tax burden from the rich to the working class (including and especially the middle-income segment sometimes mistakenly referred to as the middle class) toward the end of the political domination of the Silent Generation, which was doubled down on during the political domination of the Boomers?

> Just blame old people who have worked hard their entire lives, and never knew the conveniences and luxuries that the younger generation now takes for granted.

The last generation where asubstantial share of private-sector retirees have defined-benefit pensions, as a result of policies adopted under their and the preceding generations domination. Talk about things taken for granted that newer generations don’t get.

The Silent Generation and Boomers — well, predominantly the White subset of each — systematically dismantled, by targeted policy, the strength of the American working class in favor of capital, and did so largely in response (if you look at the political messaging of thr 70s-90s of the elements in both major parties that led it) to messaging appealing to their racial resentment in the wake of the advances of civil rights just prior (from the War on Drugs to Welfare Queens, from Willie Horton to “superpradators” and the Sister Souljah moment.)
Sure, one could say the same about artists, restaurants, musical projects, or tech blogs. A high level of success is only achieved by a small fraction of projects, which is somewhat mandatory as there is not room for every endeavor to be a smash hit.
Depends on what you mean by "manage". The money is explicitly yours, the company can never touch it. However; you are locked into the company agreement with the custodian (e.g. Vanguard and their list of investment funds).
I got a domain with my first name and my wife’s first name like jimja.ne, but she was not a fan of it at all. I ended up getting jimjane.org instead. Much easier for people to use.
The difference is that humans are not RL agents, they're living breathing beings with feelings. We can't (under our moral frameworks which are inescapable) just delete people who are sub-par, we need to be convinced that they bear moral responsibility for their actions first. To kill or imprison someone who had no choice about their actions would be unjust.
i'd say i live the principles of servant leadership in my team but would never ever call myself that - part of my definition is also not being a narcissist patting his own back on linkedin while doing it, which almost everyone quoting useless influencers like simon sinek will eventually do. and boy does a name like "servant leadership" promote virtue-signalling.

in the end all those frameworks are simplified platitudes with no real actual guidance. you build your own style with experience, based on your personality, your team, your goals - not some self-help crap.
Sure but they won’t (okay… extremely rarely)switch a vote based on that $50
> Welcome to the age of generational wealth and wealth transfer much like Europe a century ago.

This inevitably happens as a society grows to the point where it values stability and maintenance over freedom and growth. The chaotic nature of individual liberty encourages both creation and creative destruction, which makes wealth change hands often. When government steps in to save the people from themselves, you get stasis, and it becomes increasingly harder to make your own lot in life, whether upwards or downwards.

> Upward mobility is dead

At least in the US, this still isn't nearly as true as a lot of people think it is. Sure, someone on their first job isn't going to be able to afford a house in any one of the most desirable cities in the world (let alone the country); but in vast areas of "flyover country", people make a living, buy homes with yards, and raise children.
I'd like to, but I'm still a immigrant here :D

I don't really believe I have the power to change those things, but in a way, I like how EU thinks more about this than the US.
> and people not adhering to your choice subset don’t ‘

Other people aren't bothering to define it at all. I could work with their definitions, if they ever bothered to speak them. Hell, if they ever bothered to even hint at what those might be.

This isn't about a difference in definition, but the other side not defining it at all. And all the waffling here, by you and others, suggests that this might not just be some oversight, but the same sort of strategic fallaciousness the left is infamous for.

The rest of your comment is as incoherent as the first. I'm not sure what "no true scotsman" argument you think I'm making. My definition applies, in varying, to most nations in western civilization. But most especially to those the leftists are most critical of. Take your pick.
This result is fascinating. Surely the result of parsing local Chinese content which would naturally reflect positively on Nixon. Contrast that to most US-based opinions of his presidency.

The moral of the story is don't go seeking some sort of absolute or "hidden" truth from LLM's. As currently constructed, they are just a reflection of narratives they consumed during training (just like humans).
Not usually, that 200nm you mention is for resource extraction (EEZ as they say in the article you linked). i.e. pulling oil from the seabed.
It’s also just as often detrimental and leads to burnout when that “accountability” is a delusion pushed by management because the employee has no real control and the whims of management override any real choices they can make.

When someone really has ownership, management has to come to terms with the fact that the owner may make choices that are suboptimal to the company for the sake of their or their teams’ sanity. The majority of management never make that mental leap.
I want something like this which is WebGL/WebGPU based so bad. Unfortunately making people download some platform-specific software is a non-starter and if on Windows you download some ZIP instead of an MSI or equivalent that is squared.
Electricity markets are not just spot prices. There's sub-markets for being available to respond to emergencies.

The UK system: https://www.nationalgrideso.com/industry-information/balanci...

It seems you'd be eligible for "quick reserve" if you could turn on or off >1MW of response within one minute. Ideal for batteries. Includes a "standby" fee paid hourly to cover having the system "armed".

(It seems unlikely that either the bitcoin operation or their electricity meter could manage sub-minute response times to changes in prices alone? I'm not exactly sure how metering and payment works at grid level and how granular it is)

There is an easy way to write GUI apps that both look good and do not boil down to the lowest common denominator of 80s state-of-the-art: use something like SDL/GLFW, with an immediate mode UI toolkit on top.

Lagrange (https://gmi.skyjake.fi/lagrange/) is a beautiful app that (despite my ideological purism in favoring more "native" solutions) I find perfectly usable and pleasant to use.
> These units don't get built at all without immigration since that's where much of the labor pool is coming from.

There are plenty of countries with negligible immigration and without housing crises, so this is clearly false: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_home_owne...

This is a common argument - anything done by immigrants is assumed to be only achievable with immigrants, despite numerous countries offering counterexamples, usually even the same country a few decades ago. The same population that built the country is assumed to be incompetent at any task they hand over to immigrants.
The problem with Arduino is that, whatever microcontroller they're using can be easily sourced by anyone else. That's why it's so easy to clone them.

For Raspberry Pi, those mobile phone SoC are rather difficult to source. You need to have contact with the SoC vendor to get a hand on them.
What did you find underwhelming if I may ask?

It shows you how it takes some ~25 Pythonic lines of code to make GPT-3.5 retrieval accuracy go from the 26-36% range to 60%.

I have the same, firstname@lastname.com/uk/.co.uk/etc; my family name alone is an absolute pain in the arse for most British English speakers to spell when given it verbally; to make matters worse, when I give people my email, over the phone for example, I get the combination of "what's it @?" and then when they finally get there, that my last name is after the @, another 5 minutes to get them to spell it correctly; Some, despite this dance still end up never getting it right.

My wife constantly (half-jokingly) reminds me of how much of an PITA I've caused her with my name (that she took), when her maiden name was so sophisticated and easy compared to my weird, unidentifiable, "foreign" (I'm British/English) one.

EDIT to add: I don't often have issues with forms, but I reserve that particular address for "important" family related things, the sort of account where I _know_ if I receive an email to it, I need to read it. Everything else I use a gmail for (as does my wife).
I can't complete opening an account with Capital One because I have prepaid wireless. When talking to customer service, they said this happens and there's no fix. Ubisoft Connect (their Steam competitor) also rejects it.
Totally agree! But this isn't the reality we live in today and you have proposed a potentially better option with no ideas on how to achieve it. What you need to focus on is how we can grow a better grid while achieving prepaid usage levels, guaranteed usage levels, and on-demand response. These factors are what lead to a more efficient, more climate friendly, more better etc etc grid.
Ask HN: Can you recommend a tool for writing public API documentation?
I agree. The cup-holder thing was a joke, not a real claim.
There is a distinction to be made between "being okay with something existing" and "wanting to see/participate in it." The idea being that we should be okay with a lot of weird/undesirable stuff existing online (because the alternative of censorship is worse) but wanting this doesn't imply that we need to see it constantly or participate in it.

I still don't understand how a personalized filtering system hasn't become the default technological model of social media. I suppose it's because of power dynamics; no one is really incentivized to build such a thing and recommendation systems don't seem to work very well.
Yes, house flipping is bad but more people means more places to live. Also, no one buys "down", they only buy "up" so even poor immigrants put upward pressure on the system.
sounds like a very wink wink way to go about it

What if the government is, in fact, unable to competently manage the park lands for whatever reason? Then the benefits of such choice become obvious and quite alluring: why acquire competency if you can make someone else (who is already competent) to do it instead of you and also pay you for the privilege of doing this work? It's a win-win situation.
The problem normally lies in the fact that there is not much diversity of thought when ti comes to reviews... Most of them are in the same or select few cities, all have the same socio-economic backgrounds, all have the same political leanings, so all pretty much look at the world the same, and thus look at their entertainment the same

they are borg...

So today I have found it useful to look at bad reviews, and the worst reviews the critics have for something the more likely it is I will enjoy it...
Do you agree that the UK has banned some silent prayer?

Do you think it is right that silent prayer was banned in this case?

This whole discussion started because people from other countries didn’t believe that the UK would ban silent prayer.
Cont'd:

* LIGHTS. How could I forget? I switched to all 2700 K color temperature. GE "Relax" LEDs are rather nice. I find it's good to step up to the next brighter bulb, since warmer light can appear dimmer.

* For indoor locations with harsh lights, eyewear with yellow-tinted lenses (true "blue blocking") can be used to improve comfort. Again I just pay $1, so I have several pair.

* A spray bottle of generic 70% isopropyl alcohol is highly multi-functional. It can be used as hand sanitizer, but it doesn't have sticky residue or fragrance. It can clean a minor cut or scrape. It can substitute for wet wipes — just double up the paper and spritz it. I've even used it as a "squirt gun" flyswatter — no aerosolized fly guts! Tip: if you buy this at The Tree Of Dollars, choose the conical hair stylist sprayers in Health and Beauty (mostly indestructible), NOT the big tall ones in Cleaning (they break immediately). Again I get a bunch, so when I lose one it's only a dollar and I have spares.

* I broke down and got a refurb Dyson cordless. No dust smell, it's amazing. I got the one with the same name as tomato juice. The dock feature is really absurdly convenient. I hang a set of ear protectors next to it, and even mounted a cheap organizer I found online so all the tools have a home where they snap in place. And yes, probably I only like it because it has bright colors and shiny LEGO plastic and it makes satisfying tactile clicking sounds. I've decided I'm allowed to give myself permission to like that, because life's too damn short. ;)

Anyway probably nobody will see this late addendum, but if anyone has specific requests for a certain problem please feel free to ask. I'll check this thread every couple days until the two week timeout.

IMO, much skepticism of the "punch a Nazi" crowd stems from the fact that most of them (or at least the vocal one) seem to be more enthralled with the punching than the anti-fascism. This entire incident is what happens when "punch Nazis" collides with "everyone I dislike must be cryptofash."
this crap is written by management consultants. there is nothing to analyse here.

I'd strongly question whether engineers have a great perspective on usability. Some certainly do but in my experience there's no substitute for a highly qualified designer who can think specifically about a project's usability.
ls (specifically the version used on just about every linux distro) had a huge breaking change in 2016, so this is objectively false.

- There's no "user" persona - Craigslist doesn't develop their site to be addicting.

- There are no ads

the service

- It does two things, and only two things well - helps buyer buy shit and helps sellers sell shit
Too young to remember MS-DOS TUI masterpieces like Norton Commander or Borland Turbo Pascal? For a large segment of serious software that didn't need fancy graphics there was no justification for the reduced performance, dubious hardware compatibility and more complex programming of a proper GUI.
My feeling is that it cherry-picks and sensationalizes an issue that's as old as social media in order to generate clickbait, but YMMV. "Hot take" is probably not the best characterization, but I'm still pre-coffee.
This is very ironic. The LLM output samples I have seen from OpenAI and Facebook are horribly censored as well. Article on HN a week or two ago highlighted how FB's model refused to answer questions about the Bible citations or about politicians.
> except no one actually wants to be on such a forum.

Wrong. Most people do. There's a reason why forums had to be censored. If no one wanted it, we wouldn't need censorship because such forums wouldn't exist in the first place. The elites and people with agenda want a censored forum. But that's life.

Censorship online didn't come from 'the people'. It came from the elites via journalists, politicians, NGOs, etc.

> The question isn't whether models shouldn't be censored or not, but who should be the ones doing the censoring.

I agree with you here. Anything important will be controlled. Just like the internet, google, facebook, etc. If it becomes important then control and censorship is inevitable. The question is who? With china it's obvious the party is. Everyone can agree on that. Who is behind the censorship in the US. It isn't 'the people'. So it can't be the spineless politicians. So who or what cabal forced everyone from reddit to twitter to censor uniformly?
If you are looking for web sites that look fancy like apple.com

But people here, and myself, are going to tell you that those are not well designed sites. Well designed sites are mostly text, good typography, follow all accessibility guidelines, etc.
My understanding is that Huawei was able to make a 7nm chip because they had ASML DUV machines.

From ASML's perspective they didn't have any choice. The US State Dept made the Dutch government do it. Rutte made a show of putting up a fight against the USA, but caved in about a week. Worst yet, the final deal was secret. We'll never know what deal was worked out for the Dutch politicians in the USA's pocket.

As a Dutch citizen it's scary to watch our government and the rest of the EU go against it's own best interests. We are vassals of the USA and it would appear our elites are completely captured.
Technically a VC with less than 50% control can’t do anything to you, so as long as you keep 51% and never sell or liquidate then it’s free money. In practice, they wind up pressuring you to do those things and then they get their money back.
