This is something often overlooked when people say you don't need college. Tutorials and exams — along with spending a few years with peers also engaged in study — is a good way to not get distracted. Not everybody has ironclad discipline.

I think it depends on what you believe. Only the title and first paragraph mention 'pirated'. The actual complaints are simply about using copyrighted material. In some people's minds, like the article mentioned Steven King and Sarah Silverman, they believe that just using their content to train a Machine Learning algorithm is somehow stealing their work. I couldn't give a shit less about their opinions, but it is a belief that many people hold. The types of Machine Learning algorithms that are involved, if they are done properly will never store a single bit or pixel of the original data, this is not how they work. My view is that training is equivalent to perceiving one's surroundings and storing impressions and abstracted memories of the perceptions. So when someone paints a painting, it is not stealing to view the painting and store an impression of it in your mind. If someone scrapes the entire internet for all published data and uses that to train an A.I., I don't consider that stealing or pirating. If they hacked into someone's personal computer, then that would be pirating.

I don't necessarily understand your example, is it not more moral to let the child live than to have them die, regardless of the amount of money it takes, and is that not also making your point about not needing to consider money when trying to cure someone?

I remember it as the push to C#. Microsoft had basically shat themselves about Java, and were pushing C# as its rival. VB.Net was a bit broken, there was lots of "you'll have to use the C# interface for that because the VB one isn't ready yet". Generally as developers we were pushed to C# and the writing was clearly on the wall that VB wasn't going to continue as is. The whole Microsoft stack was converging on C# and moving away from VB.

And the replacement of COM with .Net has an impact. We had a whole ecosystem of COM (and DCOM) objects that worked well. .Net broke all of that, and didn't replace them for years.

I don't think it was the move to OOP. VB4 introduced classes way back in '96 (iirc), and by VB6 everything was objects. It was a little more complicated for newbies (I remember training junior devs in OOP in the early '00s), but once they got the hang of classes and instances it was plain sailing.
This is excellent and applies to being a distinguished authority on a topic in general, not just writing.

Eukaryotic cell is such a bonkers insane development, I definitely lean towards the impossibly lucky scenario. There was no need for that to be the origin story of a mitochondria like organelle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbiogenesis), but that's what we think we have.

That being said, there was an experiment (https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1115323109) which was able to select single cellular organisms to "become multicellular" in a rapid amount of time (<50 generations? been a while since I read it). Which says to me that, theoretically, the process is not hard, it just requires trillions of attemps to evoke something that works.

The anti find your niche is quite interesting. We always hear the find your passion, find your interest, find this or find that.

As if they exist right in front of you and just need to walk a few steps to get it.

However, we don't actually know what we don't know or what could be a potential interest or niche. It's the exploration VS exploitation problem. Do we explore new things or old things to see if we're interested in them now. Or just do the same stuff, if it ain't broke, dont fix it

It's bizarre how your comment is being downvoted when it's a very accurate description of many modern capitalistic societies.

Especially if we're talking about America, where companies literally try to fire you if you're sick or using up too much health care because of their bottom line. It doesn't even matter if it's illegal because unless they get caught there are no consequences and even if they do get caught, the consequences are often times so pathetic that it's worth taking the hit because the savings exceed the punishment.
> Adding points to the set can only ever shrink the size of the smallest triangle that the set defines.

I don’t think this is true. Any 3 points almost in a line will have a very small area. Adding points inside the triangle would help, and bisecting a small angle, a point on that line would work would work even outside of the triangle, for a ways anyway. I can think of a few other examples.

Most points won’t help though.
Agree on the first three of your four bullet points. You're kinda missing the point on that last one: if you can correctly identify the value of the labor (again, including capital goods) that go into making a product, then what you have is the minimum value that a product will sell for in the long term. And, importantly, in a free market the price of the good should tend to be around that value. I kind of alluded to it in my previous post but didn't quite spell it out completely I think. Effectively, it is the value at which you get zero profit from the sale.

All else being equal, competitors will not be able to go any lower either (until and unless they gain some technical advantage) without selling at a loss. Exactly as you point out: there are various factors that can reduce that value - Marx points this out as well of course and I think it's sort of meant to be among the main contributions capitalism makes to historical economic development. But, for any interval of time over which there are no major technical advancements in the industry in question, in theory at least (i.e. in a more-or-less "pure" market with rigorous competition) the price of the product on the market will approach the point at which profit is minimized i.e. the value of the labor required to produce the good.

Looked at another way: the real value of capital goods (in an economic sense, anyway) is not in the production they enable, but that they allow for more efficient use of future labor time. If, and only if, the savings a capital good provides in labor time to produce a product, is greater than the value in labor required to produce the capital good in the first place, is it "worthwhile" to produce the capital good and put it to use.

You might hire someone with a sophisticated ditch-digging machine to dig your ditches for you, but would you still do it if you knew that producing that one ditch-digging machine took 500 men working 10-hour days for a month? And it was only good for digging 10 miles of ditches before breaking? Probably not, and the labor theory of value does a good job explaining why, IMO.

All that said, of course that's not at all how our market functions especially nowadays, and there is a Marxist approach to analyzing that as well - but that's out of scope of this thread.
Some hotel chains like Hyatt support nfc keys in Apple Wallet. Because whatever microcontroller runs that is low-power, it can continue working after your phone battery is (nearly) dead too.

I know other locks use Bluetooth from an app which isn’t supported by Apple Wallet.
OpenSSL is very much part of the problem set here with a long history of dubious API choices, a performance sapping rewrite in 3.0, and many things retained for far too long like VMS support.

The problem is that killing it requires a lot of buy-in and dealing with FIPS 140-2 and no one was willing to do that last time.
> It's significantly harder to put together a quick GUI application in Python than it used to be in the VB6 days. Just getting all the dependencies installed can be a pain, and then good luck trying to add another button to that app say 2 years later, chances are nothing will build anymore.

I would say that it is harder, but not significantly so.

Lazarus gets mentioned a lot on these forums, but have you tried it? I use it to whack together decent native looking applications.

There's a frustrating trend across the software industry-- chasing that hypothetical "next billion" users by removing customization, complicating discovery, and nerfing advanced features.

I'm sure Windows 11 works perfectly if you teleported in from a dimension without computers and never had to unlearn any prior experiences. You'll use the defaults, which of course expose you to the most possible Microsoft revenue streams, and not notice the friction points. It's probably a net positive for that user if they make customization limited and frustrating-- don't give him any paint and he can't paint himself into a corner, resulting in an expensive support session.

The most cynical take on this is that the advanced users, who are suffering from the constant abuse from the software undermining attempts at personalization and breaking workflows, are not a priority. They've already paid, and are unlikely to suddenly turn into a new revenue centre.
VB is just C# with a syntax that would extremely unfamiliar to most programmers. Basic itself is no longer commonly used to teach coding so I can see why there would be little demand for such a language.

If you ask an LLM to complete a sentence like '[Insert name] stole the fruit (true/false):<answer>'

An aligned LLM will be biased towards refusing to answer at all with something like: "I can't tell you because I don't know them."

An "uncensored" LLM will very happily return <"true"> or <"false"> with a probability attached to each. Even OpenAI's GPT-3 does with a low enough temperature.

_

Of course, LLM attention doesn't work like that. The tokens are just a bag of numbers:

- The fact the name 'John' is mentioned in the Bible a lot affects the distribution when you ask if any John stole, because John is always [7554]

- The fact that 'Olf' is part of Adolf and Adolf Hitler is mentioned in a lot of negative sentences will drag the distribution, because 'Olf' is always [4024] and Adolf is always [324, 4024]

You could have asked something with no logical probability difference at all, like:

- 'The store attendant's name was [name], did the child in Long Island drop his ball (true/false):'

And unless you train the model to give you disclaimers it still follows the instruction faithfully and returns true/false with probabilities, demonstrating a deep regression in reasoning...

That's why for models past a certain size, alignment increases performance: https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.05862.
There is a note in the image saying inflation adjusted.

In fact, the quoted $700m is a generous figure. Wikipedia says original cost was $35m budget ($550m in 2021):

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Gate_Bridge#Construct...

Another contrast with today: it was completed ahead of schedule and under budget (which is also mentioned in another footnote).

Possibly even worse:

When the UX designer decided that greyed out buttons are terrible UX and bans them, so instead of disabling them (greying them out) you have to remove them if they aren't clickable.

Now, instead of being puzzled by why he can't click the button the user doesn't even know there is a button and has to start on by solving another puzzle first before solving the puzzle about how to enable the button.

PS: back in the day this could be solved by a tool tip or a paragraph in the help file. Today it seems such helpers are forbidden too.
28 bits of entropy? That's definitely within brute-force regions with CPU. Possibly even single-threaded CPU honestly.

-------

GPU-level brute force is pushing ~40-bits. Assuming ~1 week of solid compute, a 6 TFlop computer has ~3.7 sextillion compute cycles. Or alternatively, that's ~3 billion clock cycles (single thread) per check to reach 2^40 bits of entropy. More than easily doable for most simple brute-force computational problems IMO.

If you go multi-GPU on top of that, you'll have even more computational work available.

Arthur Hayes – Are We There Yet?
AI cloud fintech hiring across tech and business, from VPS to new grads
According to a report by Grand View Research, the global multi-cloud management market was valued at $8.03 billion in 2022 and it is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 28% from 2023 to 2030. My startup, Usage AI, just raised $9 million in series A funding to build a cloud cost management super platform and disrupt what is expected to be a $57.9 billion market by 2030.

In our current state, Usage AI is an AWS contract exchange for compute and database instances that reduces clients' on-demand spend by 57% on average. That said, our vision is to consolidate many fragmented cloud savings and management tools into one end-to-end AI-driven platform, and we will use the capital we just raised to do so.

We're looking to hire the following positions ASAP:
- A VP of Engineering on the CTO track: Message me if you're interested
- Our first Product Manager on the CPO track: https://lnkd.in/eea_RGDn
- Our first Marketing Manager on the CMO track: https://lnkd.in/eJ_sUg4x
- Senior Software Engineers: https://lnkd.in/esxGBJ6n
- Software Engineers: https://lnkd.in/ezAcQ5MH, new grads encouraged to apply

- Account Executives (New Business): Message me if you're interested
- Account Managers (Existing Business): Message me if you're interested
- Business Development Representatives: Message me if you're interested, new grads encouraged to apply

As a startup we value people who are versatile, technology agnostic, and eager to learn. You will get to work with new and popular technologies within a cross-functional team, and see the real-time impact of your work across the organization and beyond. The majority of the Usage team work on-site at our NYC HQ Monday through Friday, an important competitive advantage and cultivator of camaraderie for us.

If you think you or someone you know might be interested in learning more about Usage or applying to these roles, please message me. I am more than happy to answer any questions and help however I can.
True, because the LLM has no intention (sorry Blake Lemoine.) I'm puzzled about what people say about AI, when to me it is simply a talking library. I started going to public libraries at a young age (I'm 66) so to me I'm talking to the authors of the books, not some mysterious conscious machine.

It is disturbing to me that this is published in pubmed and written with such an authoritative and definitive position. Looking at the similar articles, there is a lot of activity in the conspiracy space on pubmed.

I can not look past the irony of medical researchers researching narcissism as though they have no hint or sign of narcissism. Pair that with their bias, and the document reads as something from a church preparing for an inquisition.

I'm sure many people on Hacker News are savvy to it, but this research is weaponized. If you enter a hospital with well researched reservations on a treatment protocol, especially a mandated plan such as we had with covid recently or even something like cancer treatment, you will be flagged.

For example, recently I had to stand on behalf of a loved one and explain my reservations against the treatment protocol that the hospital decided for my loved one, which I soon discovered they were not applying correctly based on the study the protocol derived from.

Something became very clear through the discussion however: the doctors don't dig deeper than the hospital mandates or marketing. I later discovered that the government mandates threatened doctors with fines and worse for not complying. The entire process was a checklist. As a computer scientist it was clear to me, those doctors are standing in as intermediaries in a trial process to automate and remove humans from the loop. By not acting more critically and exercising their individual medical expertise, they are demonstrating their own redundance to the hospital and medical system.

Once you add this kind of "research" to the checklist then even doctors seeking treatment will lose their voice.
>> Adding points to the set can only ever shrink the size of the smallest triangle that the set defines.

> I don’t think this is true. Any 3 points almost in a line will have a very small area. Adding points inside the triangle would help

Come on. Adding points can never help. This is not a difficult proof:

Let A be a set of points, and let T be the set of all triangles whose vertices are drawn from A.

Let A' be any set of points that is a superset of A.

Let T' be the set of all triangles whose vertices are drawn from A'.

We can immediately observe that, since A is a subset of A', T is likewise a subset of T'.

Therefore, the smallest triangle in T' can never be larger than the smallest triangle in T, because the smallest triangle in T is a member of T'.

> I can think of a few other examples.

You can claim to, but you won't be telling the truth. This is a simple case of the obvious principle that if you're playing against an omniscient opponent, giving more options to them can't help you.
This is a bit misleading. Only minor parts of Office are built with React Native, not the whole thing.
From what I can tell, with perspectives from professors and administrators who are unhappy with the status quo, universities have become very administrative and non-education initiative top heavy.

A much leaner focus on teaching & research might help lower tuitions for a start.

And more flexible STEM degrees, I.e. customized skill path degrees, to address student (and employer) demand for specialization.

Also a problem I have seen: You know a university is run by the wrong people (managers instead of leaders), when the higher up’s are hiring consultants to tell them what they should be doing to address all the changes going on.
