How does "don't buy more than you know you can use" and "don't produce more than you know you can sell" cost more labor?
Absolutely agree. And there are only so many above 5% parties, so the choice actually isn't really that hard.
Sounds like all industries, the longer they have gone on the less profitable they are. I’m not excusing ripping off farmers but it seems to be a pattern in all industries i.e. textiles, newspapers, building, car manufacturing, even most engineering… unless there is constant technological innovation (or market capture like the music industry) their profitability tends to zero.
Lots of stores have end-cap coolers which have product they really want to sell in there, usually at a discount.

I could def. see Vanilla Ice Cream being in that container for a while for whatever reason.

Or it could be a small/local grocery store and the owner/manager really likes Vanilla, and did it for their own convenience.

Interestingly right around this was posted here, I happened to talk to a colleague of mine from an adjacent team and I found out that he had worked at Sun. And he was raving about his time there and just how much he enjoyed working there (and money was not even mentioned).

I have come across a few places/companies which do great work and employees just LOVE(D) being there. Here are some on my list:

* Bell Labs

* Sun

* Microsoft

* Google

So, this begs the question: Which companies today (Sep 2023) are the Google's of the early 2000s?

FWIW, I went through all previous threads of this interview and there is no such discussion or mention of any company names.

Well, technically it is a dependency in that you can't target platforms there isn't a JRE for. But I take your point about simplifying installation.
two billion people can't use generative AI, it comes at tremendous cost on the front or back end. AI is not an altruistic endeavor, net result is that the largest companies in the world make money off the lifetime works of authors without paying them.
Yeah, it kinda messes with the "most objects die young" philosophy behind generational collectors.

Here's another (related) caveat with taking the "minimal object creation", pooled memory, and/or using lots of non-GC native heap memory path: now you've got blocks of memory sitting there in Process RSS that the GC either can't do anything about, or (worse) knows nothing about.

These types of runtimes are on the whole designed with the philosophy that they Own All The Things, so it's like an invasive body driving the "immune system" nuts...

Never had this problem in Java (haven't worked in it for 10 years) but at a previous job (in Julia) I worked on a database buffer pool / pager where the memory was explicitly managed/allocated (through syscalls to anonymous mmap) for performance reasons. Those pages belong to the same PID as the broader Julia process, but were not managed by Julia runtime, and so the runtime can run into all sorts of issues with OOM kills or huge pauses as the system allocates aggressively without collecting often, thinking it has plenty of headroom... but doesn't.

I know for a fact the JVM GC is smarter than this, and can be tuned more expertly to manage these type of situations, but it's still a big giant caveat...
Nice work!

But, if anything should be a decentralized anonymous crypto-paid service, it should be a VPN network.

Centralized VPNs are still a single point of failure privacy risk. We have to trust they don't share our identity/account info and activity.

I am surprised dVPNs are not THE first rationale given for crypto. I.e. since separately and together they (ideally) have a clear comparative advantage over other alternatives for strong privacy.

A performant global open-standard dVPN could become an indispensable layer of web access.

Goldeneye is one of the best case studies for why companies should give their engineers room to experiment. If I remember correctly, the multiplayer mode was originally a side project of one of the engineers and was added near the end of development.

This isn't to say the campaign mode isn't good, but the ability for boys to play a shooter game against each other on the same console is what made that game.

Honestly, Project Panama seems much more promising for interop with the C ABI from the Java platform. This is anecdotal, but a lot of commercial Clojure projects seem to have a small JNI-using library that nobody dares to touch with a 10 ft. pole lest something in it breaks and debugging is tedious, if possible at all. I've been eagerly waiting for the release of Java 21 since it means projects like coffi[1] can be used in a stable release of Java, and the API is honestly much more ergonomic than dealing with SWIG and using JNI directly.

I had a boss back in 2005 who presided over a web agency that ran 300+ web sites but wasn't using version control. I tried to introduce CVS and probably used it for at least one project but my boss was very skeptical that the version control systems weren't aware of program semantics making it possible to "break the build". Also we were using some really weird proprietary stuff such as the old version of

The company went under because of accumulated technical debt and a business model that didn't make a lot of sense and I jumped ship to the company that was getting the contracts we weren't getting and he jumped ship a year later but at that point I had moved on to a real job (mostly) working on products for a single company, that had health insurance, etc.

Show HN: Namealong – Domain search that pairs your query with 4114 other words
Namealong takes your query, pairs it up with 4000+ other words, suffixes, and prefixes, and shows you available .com domains by checking the ICANN zone file.

That's fast, but semi-inaccurate, so when you hover over or click on domain names, an additional WHOIS check is done to verify availability.

If this all sounds familiar, Lean Domain Search used to do this exact same thing, but earlier this year they added .blog domains to the search results with no way to filter them out, making the tool basically useless for .com searches.
You can run them remotely over SSH, for one.

I also like the fact that it's hard to build a terminal application that needs a mouse. I don't want to touch a mouse if I can avoid it, so I run them. A personal computer is too powerful to operate with a single finger.

There's the low resource aspect too. Sure, you can build a TUI that hogs resources, but there's a culture of not doing it, and it's harder to do it even if you try. Contrast that to modern GUI software where it's like the developers look at the minimum requirements as a speed limit, that is, the bare minimum you have to use.
Two questions and you answered the more rhetorical one. Is that a no?

Anyway my main beef isn’t with this GitHub repo or the author, it’s that nobody remembers how to write a goddamned overview anymore. The point of tree structured data is making it cheap to backtrack when doing a semi random search. The overview is an important part of making hypertext work, particularly when it feeds through catch-all lists like a news site or a landing page for a wiki.

When a hyperlink is organically embedded into a paragraph, you can usually guess what it’s for, from the sentence and the context. When it’s just a title that is lost.

> Like, you pay top dollar for some greens

When people say things like this, or about how expensive it is to eat healthy, I feel like I'm in a twilight zone episode where the grocery stores I walk into exist in an alternate universe from their own.

Buying produce is the cheapest way you can eat, it's the cheapest food in the grocery store. Cheaper than anything in the frozen / processed foods aisles. Fresh produce is one of the cheapest things you can possibly buy period. For the price of one bag of chips you can buy enough potatoes to feed you for a week.
I was in the early beta and judging from how it's worked in my tests, there's definitely more going on under the hood then the most straightforward approach of "embed all your emails, find nearest neighbors, then ask the LLM to answer".

Kudos on innovating around applying LLMs to real-world problems and going beyond the bog-standard approach. It'd be interesting to see a more detailed blog on the technical approach you took!

I dont have an answer. I personally moved away from my home country (Slovakia) almost 2 decades away, thinking far right is probably the biggest long term threat with causing some civil war with our big Roma population. Oh boy was I wrong, far right is now completely managed by russian troll farms now, they literally jump as russians whistle (an expression back home), having some utterly illogical positions.

You look left, there is a guy completely interwined with 'ndrangheta who probably will win, murdering journalists, managing economy so badly that Romania took us over. Right is this above. Both love russia in fact. Nothing competent in between.

This is the evergreen debate about what makes one a "Christian." Is it simply one who worships Jesus Christ? Is it self-labeling as Christian? Is it adherence to some arbitrary specification that mandates a "Christian" must accept specific extra-biblical doctrines?

Depending on how you define Christian, it either includes or excludes Mormons. No discussion about "Are Mormons Christian?" is productive without first agreeing on a definition.

Wiring harness issue. Reseat any and all connectors from the battery to the distribution box (there may be two of those depending on the model year) and reseat all of your fuses, if any of them go in too easy then use a small screwdriver to force the contacts to be closer together (or slightly twist the fuse tab, not the most elegant solution but sometimes those contacts in the fuse box are so far recessed that you can't get at them). Good luck!

Is your hypothesis that DALL-E 3 won't be using additional methods? Or what do you consider "better" -- I agree Automatic1111 and comfyUI make SDXL great for home use, but it feels a bit like an argument of PC vs Mac, where OpenAI is providing the Mac experience (polished, instantly easy to use) while PC offers more customization and nitty gritty.
The other argument is to frustrate network correlation analysis. Many VPN providers have an internal high-bandwidth network (virtual or otherwise); you can send a packet to $VPN_SERVER_X, it sends it to $VPN_SERVER_Y possibly via other intermediate servers, and $VPN_SERVER_Y then forwards it on to your destination.

If you live in a country with detailed data retention laws, this massively changes the shape of the graph: rather than your computer connecting via HTTPS to lots of other IP addresses, it only connects to one, which a large number of other customers do too. The argument then goes that there's enough inherent jitter and generic "chaff" on the internal network to make it very hard to deterministically work out if one of your packets going in to a popular service is the same as that coming out at any moment in time; the greater the traffic of the network and the provider the better the statistical protection becomes as the packets become indistinguishable.

This, and the fact that it represents a giant "no thanks" to dragnet surveillance, is arguably a good reason to just put a VPN on your router (as many people do).

> In the not distant past most Americans spent 30+% of their income on food, which I doubt is a world many of us want to return to.

I mean - I think I understand the motivation behind that but

I am pretty convinced that the value of "low-carb" / "no-carb" diets has less to do with the impact of carbs (after all, wheat literally was the symbol of European civilization for a really long time) and more to do with how they're used as cheap caloric filler (looking at you, Panda Express). Pretty much a "get what you pay for" kind of situation, in my eyes - so maybe spending that much on food isn't as bad as was thought.

also, on the gripping hand, looks at cost of housing - so maybe if it's not one thing it's another.

Steve Jobs died because he initially refused rational treatment, then he aggressively pursued conventional treatment (liver transplant). The initial refusal thing is common - in my case, I refused to believe the symptoms (bloody stool) I had were something that needed to be dealt with.

In both our cases, neither of us had any qualifications to make a determination of treatment, and doing our own research wouldn't have helped. (I'm sure the Big Turmeric Cartel would have something to chime in with (one of the common "it'll cure you" paths.)

As fantastic as peat moss is, I have to recommend considering an alternative. Peat moss isn't sustainable, and at least in Europe, we don't have too many peat bogs left now. Coco coir is my favourite peat moss alternative, but as it's sterile, you do need to use a bit more organic matter or add some leachate/"compost tea".
I agree that this is extremely valuable, but it's worth flagging that it's harder to reason about the impacts of class imbalance for generative models than e.g. classifiers. For example, should we think about genre imbalance per novel, per token, or on some more complex basis? Which genres are most relevant to a target distribution of chatbot queries?

This isn't to suggest that organizations shouldn't invest in actively understanding their training data, but that post-hoc bias analysis is going to be a critical component of evaluation for the foreseeable future.
In many languages "if x = 3" is perfectly valid code, but almost certainly not what the person intended "if x == 3". It's very smart to warn someone in a scenario like this.

It's an inconsequential act for the most part. "Nothing to lose" that they know of. I take it being more of a fad (certainly fueled by propaganda) than anything else

"Everybody should know that" by now. But it seems they can't see that perspective. As I said, it's more of a reckless act than anything else. Asking for charitable views cease when it's more a choice than anything else.

You really seem to have missed the main point of my post.

Yes, people are still working on stuff. I never said they weren't. I never said they were working any less hard than they had been.

But progress has slowed down from the leaps that it took over the past couple of years to get us to GPT-3 and GPT-4. Whatever "new models" are doing in September 2023, they are absolutely not making the same clear advances that we saw previously. They are incremental improvements. Which is good! It's important! It's progress! But it's unquestionably slower than the breakthrough that led to this generation of LLMs.

Now, it may be that that wasn't what you were thinking of when you said things haven't slowed down, but that was absolutely not clear from your post. And there have been enough people trumpeting loudly that the pace of progress would continue exactly as fast as it was before—breakthrough after breakthrough, leading rapidly to GPT-5 and beyond, and causing millions of white-collar jobs to be automated—that to simply say, without qualification, "things haven't slowed down" is, at best, ignorant of the way it will be taken by many.

Not at training time. But after training you can evaluate which activations rarely fire and simply remove their columns from the weight matrix.

Or you could re-randomize them and continue training.
