No, they are "building" nuclear plant. In 2009 they planed to use French technology: https://www.world-nuclear-news.org/Articles/France,-Poland-a... .
In 2011 Westinghouse was already on shortlist: https://www.reuters.com/article/poland-nuclear-idUSLDE72M0ST... . And 10 year later, Poland decided it is time to select location again, throwing away all earlier preparations.

It is all as hilarious as Korean tanks purchase - we learned that Poland is going to borrow money from Korea only when Korean media announced it. No one knows actual financing conditions. But it still might turn better than https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gawron-class_corvette

Agreed.

I'm somewhat furious at Apple for having ads for their other shows before showing me what I've selected to watch on Apple TV+. Is there any way to disable that?
It's fairly likely that you own several of that CPU (ARM7TDMI), or a close relative, without realizing it. It was pretty common as an "I need something stronger than an 8051" embedded controller prior to the introduction of the Cortex-M family.
Absolutely. It took me a few projects in Rust to sort of stumble on this and it can make some fairly complex business logic sit into nice matches that are trivial to run through.
The Windows installer is 1/3 the size of the Mac one. It's just kinda surprising.
I'm not sure what you mean. Are you asking how someone who has never heard of the idea of a movie will find out what movie releases are upcoming? Is that really the sort of outlier we want to structure our society around?
In a decade or two when every device has the USB-C instead of 3.5, I will be pretty excited about that. Until then I have to spend my time searching out those dongles.
Gives me a good reason to cancel Prime. Haven't been getting so much value out of free delivery as I'm not buying much physical media any more.

Between Prime Video and the occasional delivery, it seemed worth keeping it. But I won't watch a streaming service with ads. Its value to me would be reduced right down to zero.
The amount of trust placed in DockerHub to serve the correct images to everyone for uncritical download and execution is insane to me.

The whole industry does it, and it's the same as "curl | bash" to specify image:tag and not image@hash.

If I were TAO I'd apply for a job at Docker or their hosting provider.
It's hard to argue when understanding is derived from words which terms consist of, not descriptions of those terms. Did you try the trick with the watch? How open is openAI?

Developing economies in relation to developed is same as I'm in relation to billionaire. Technically you may say that I'm becoming billionaire, but chances are very very slim and only under curtain circumstances I could become one. That's what I mean by misleadingness of the term.

> What is end stage capitalism working towards?

Direction is not implied. It's a description of state of capitalism under domination of multinational corporations, consumerism, increasing commodification of life (seems to be the part author had in mind), growing inequality. And it was described in 1902.

Speaking of direction everything has an end, and this form of capitalism will end. It won't end by ending capitalism (though this scenario is possible with nuclear winter thingy). Capitalism as a driving factor of organisation strong thing to abandon or to replace it.

People who use this term rather show their despise to the dark side of the system.

Calling nuclear fission "clean" is a bit like calling the National Health Service "free".

I am not saying there are better options right now but still!
Go look at the UAE and what the did with South Korea. The deployed a very large amount of nuclear in a pretty short time from project start to all plants running.

Construction begin:

Unit 1: 19 July 2012
Unit 2: 16 April 2013
Unit 3: 24 September 2014
Unit 4: 30 July 2015

Commission:
Unit 1: 3 August 2020
Unit 2: 14 September 2021
Unit 3: 10 October 2022

And that is in a country with no infrastructure or knowledge. A large country like Poland could do this far better and faster with more plants. France started like that and then became faster and faster, until idiot politicians ruined it.

If you are finishing 1-2 nuclear plants every year, you can deploy green energy quickly.

Finland build 1 nuclear plant, even delayed and went from pretty bad carbon efficiency to very good. Denmark spend longer and more money on wind and its not nearly as effective and reliable a backbone for their network.

Right now Finland nuclear is outproducing Denmark Wind and Solar combined. And the Finish investment will run for 80 years, non of the wind or solar will survive that long.
I hardly believe this take, because we still have a lot to learn in the medical sector for example that would dramatically improve lives. But in other areas we may have reached some saturation for what would actually be considered positive growth. After a certain level of sophistication, I'm not sure more tech makes us happier.
I learn so much on HN.
I see this at work, being within such a customer. People driving these mandates barely understand IPv4, let alone know what IPv6 is. They're software developers after all, not CCIEs.

There's nothing preventing you from having a private network using unique address space that's either blocked from accessing the internet via a firewall on a router or just plain not even routed. You could even use ULA networks with stateless prefix translation to avoid using GUA addressing for your private network.

The sad part is that IPv6 support is abysmal on every cloud so just migrating to it imposes serious limitations as addressed by the blog author.
Do you have a credible source that says an LLM like the ones trained by OpenAI can perfectly memorize millions of books? Or be trained in a single day?
Why do we think that the moebius estate deserves that revenue? Why is that the optimal state of the world, rather than just a capitalist incentive to create more art?
At some point it becomes so easy that people start to wonder why they pay a middleman for no benefit.

> Cryptobros don't have any concrete idea of how putting stuff behind a cryptographic proof makes it ""decentralized"".

Let the cryptobros be wrong. Decentralized computing isn't about crypto, it is about reusing idle resource to create something bigger than big tech. BitTorrent is real, fediverse is real, IPFS...

There is as well that blog post introducing GraalOS [1]

But still only providing marketing information.

It sounds like they are interleaving GraalOS feature with the Oracle cloud feature, eg. for the "Run On Demand" and "Applications, not Containers".

yeah, indeed, my bad.
To what extent did the source code enable NSO to find this bug? Had the code been blob-only, would modern decompilers have worked well enough to help them understand the code and find this obscure bug?
The high price of nuclear power-plants is usually due to the loss of know-how after a long period of "nuclear bad". During this period, the people who built the NPPs of the 60's and 70's retired, and not enough new ones were trained since it was politically on the way out.

> It's 5x the cost of solar and wind.

Do you have a citation for that? In France, the EPR which is absurdly late and out of the initial budget, and the poster child of how if you don't train highly-skilled people you can't just pick it back up when you want, is estimated to produce electricity at an all-in cost that is a little less than twice that of solar, and twice that of terrestrial wind. Wind installed in the sea is pricier than the EPR. The already-built NPPs are the second-cheapest of the lot, behind geothermal.

The same argument according to which solar panels and such will become cheaper as demand increases (because of economies of scale and technical improvements) also applies to nuclear power plants.
In smallpebble it's currently done by setting the value of the Placeholders, e.g.

# define some graph
x = sp.Placeholder()
y = sp.Lazy(sp.square)(x)

# and run the graph later on
x.assign_value(sp.Variable(np.array([1, 2, 3])))
y_val = y.run() # the result, y_val is an sp.Variable
gradients = sp.get_gradients(y_val)

# run same graph with different values
x.assign_value(sp.Variable(np.array([5, 6, 7])))
y_val = y.run()
gradients = sp.get_gradients(y_val)

(There's some more examples of this being used in training loops in the readme.)
Normally I don’t continue with arguments like this haha. But I just want to point out that I keep saying generally more code means a slower algorithm. And when I say slower algorithm, that implies I’m comparing it to something. The thing I’m comparing it to is an equivalent algorithm with less lines of code. An infinite loop will run forever with just a few instructions. But I’m not comparing an infinite loop to anything here.

And just to be clear, I do agree with everything you’re saying here, but I do think you’re still being overly pedantic.

> Less pedantically a sorting function that is far more efficient will result in the instructions corresponding to individual operations being called thousands of times less.

Exactly. The goal is to spend fewer instructions to achieve the same outcome. As soon as you start thinking about how different instructions take different amounts of cycles and you can speed up an algorithm by using more instructions that are cheaper, that kind of proves my whole point. You can speed up an algorithm by using more instructions, but you have to be intentional about it. The default will never be: more instructions = faster.
I believe your experience might be related to how psychoanalists work in the US (or the country you're from)?
Here in Germany it's a highly regulated practice, and believe me, psychoanalysts refuse constantly patients with the pathological problems you describe because they are aware that psychoanalysis' is not fit for those.
In fact they are also perfectly aware they are not psychiatrists, and they would never be able to prescribe nor help you get out of any medication.
Imagine the kind of hellish world we'd live in if you could just ignore the law and remove the capacity for the market (and by extension all of society) to make human expression possible. Yes, event artists need to be given the possibility of being able to feed themselves.

Imagine what I could accomplish if I was a tech startup flush with cash unencumbered by the law. Surely a planetary hostile takeover would only be a few years and existential gambits away.
Nuclear plants were actually a really great idea for Iran. Iran was consuming their own fossil fuel and couldn't export it. Going nuclear was 100% the right choice for Iran.

And Iran was planning to do it safely in cooperation with the French under full view of the IAEA. However the US then came in and destroyed this plan.

And your repeated claims about the economics are based on very bad oversimplified math. Please stop spamming the same nonsense in ever post, you are simply acting like an anti-nuclear advocate rather then debating.

This reminds me that the Alamo Drafthouse used to have a program called “TV at the Alamo” and it was brilliant.

It was $5 to reserve a seat, and that $5 went towards food and drink purchases. They would show the previous week’s episode while the current episode was airing, strip out the ads and then project the current week’s episode. I watched Mad Men and Breaking Bad this way.
Lister engines also sound fantastic, in my opinion. Due to where I live, I often hear them going past me and it's wonderful to hear them throttle up as they potter on by.

nuclear was green Jesus 50 years ago. Today it's been regulated into oblivion making it super expensive in most of the western world. that doesn't make the technology any less interesting and it still has huge potential as part of the mix. you can throw around your numbers for wind/solar + p2x but that shit is still experimental and will require insane investments in infrastructure that's usually not counted in the numbers spewed by the solar/wind is the new green Jesus lobby. my bet is still on nuclear winning the race eventually, but we'll have to see i guess. right now it's pretty insane here in solar/wind land (Germany, Denmark) er haven't brought down emissions one bit in a long long time and prices for electricity is fucking crazy. like people have to actively look if it's ok to boil water, turn on the oven or wash their clothes and we're effectively pulling the whole of Europe down with us because of the insane rules for the "free" market for electricity. but let's see who win out in the end.
How SteamOS is contributing to the Linux ecosystem [pdf]
There’s been attempts to revise the SQL standard to accommodate various types of temporality as a “first party” feature.

I think that we won’t see traction at the RDBMS “kernel space” until it’s in the SQL standard. There are many valid and complex options to choose from, and there are successful solutions in user space that aren’t overly burdened, performance-wise, from being in user space.

FWIW, the “audit table” approach is the approach that people who study this field gravitate towards. Mainly because it maintains consistent ACIDity in the database, and maintains Postgres as the single point of failure (a trade off vs introducing a proxy/polling job).
I see your point and I agree. I wasn't looking at it from this angle. My angle was advancing humanity, nothing regarding beating closed source counter parts.
Isn't that kind of the point?

The purpose of GPL and Free Software (which it has actually had resounding success in) is to develop a free commons which will stay free and not be exploited.

It's not for you to exploit to make a buck, and if that excludes your project, that's fine.

There are lots of things I would never consider free-licensing, but I think people badly miss the point of free software because they are stuck thinking only in terms of their own needs and personal benefit.

Again, if you don't want to use or contribute to free software, that is perfectly reasonable. But just bear in mind that the Linux kernel and GCC are incredibly valuable tools which are firmly in the commons and will remain free, and which you have benefited enormously from the use and free availability of.

Hmm... From a business PoV, TikTok letting the US govt do all the moderation might be an excellent deal. All the expenses, headaches, controversies, legal battles, political sh*t, threatening or vile stuff that sneaks through, moderators PTSD'ed from daily exposure to horrible images - all of that is now on the US govt's dime and reputation.

And if the US govt controls all that stuff for content appearing in the US, then it can't easily argue if the Chinese govt has similar control for what appears in China, or ...
Oh come on, I don't think highly of the "late stage capitalism" theory but even I know this one. The answer is Feudalism (as the goal: ownership class cemented into a hereditary nobility that doesn't just own the means of production but also the monopoly on violence), with a more likely short-term next stage of Fascism (a democracy will go populist when it feels the jaws closing in, and fascism is the flavor of populism that is compatible with the class interest of the wealthy).

I don't think much of Marxist class-apocalypse narratives because we've been here before and the correct answer was negotiated settlement rather than feudalism, fascism, or socialism. Roosevelts, not Hitlers or Stalins. We've figured it out before, we can figure it out again. The only thing to fear is fear itself.

Denying the existence of the argument or the problem that inspired it is just silly, though.

The title refers to them outperforming their previous SotA model with one a tenth the size by building off one of last year's most important research papers in generating additional synthetic data which effectively exports domain knowledge from the larger model to the smaller.

All this AI angst going on right now is ridiculous.

Yeah, every technology gets a hype cycle these days.

But not every technology has research cycles this fast.

In fact, I can't think of anything that's had research cycles this fast.
You know, I just saw the new Hercule Poirot movie (hey, I'm a fan), and I had the same experience. I don't get out of the house much because I WFH, I have all these streaming services yet I spend most of my time just watching YouTube - I really enjoyed going to the theater and seeing a movie!

Having a discussion with my wife - why do we have all these streaming services? We should just drop them all and go out to the movies a couple times a month. It looks like that's what we're going to do. So yeah, you should be cautiously bullish.
It's signaling. Wearing prominent logos sends yourself and others a message that you have the disposable income to pay twice as much for a version of the thing that has a special picture on it.
Why would the high RPM necessarily mean using a lot of fuel? I've had a little VW Polo 1.0L that used to sit at 4000rpm just to go 70mph on the motorway, and it still returned like 50 imperial mpg(~6L/100km).

Your issue is with capitalism apparently. Like it or not, creators rely on copyright to make a living and have an incentive to create more, and quality, art.
Kind of pointless post IMO. It's not surprising that an RPi works submerged in mineral oil, right?
That's an understandable stance, I am aware of the Harvard/Gino controversy as well. But I think the reason why communities, organizations, and institutions are still effective and able to achieve work with undeniable intellectual or social impact (e.g., full self-driving in certain conditions or reducing the transmission rate of COVID during the pandemic) is because people still act in good faith and harbor good will because they believe that others are doing the same. I think this two-way trust ensures the rate of progress, which is why it is such a target for disinformation campaigns (i.e., all your values are lies or all your institutions hate you/want to abuse you etc.). So I think given a large group of academics/engineers and looking at the way people in groups behave, I am not inclined to believe that a large proportion of such academics/engineers are grifting, but it is easier to believe that perhaps there is deception in the upper echelons of such a community/organization that is imperceptible to collaborators lower in the hierarchy.

I guess the question becomes how do recognize grift or deception unless you establish people like the academics who exposed people like Gino. Do we just need more of that?

For certain items it is part of the cost for the quality of good being procured at a given price point. I’m sure there are no-label options of equal quality and comfort, but the process of finding those options is a much greater (time) cost than the item itself is worth to me.

In a different context, if an artisan knows they are the best (by a large margin) and put their mark on every item produced, few seeking the artisan for their quality would stop using that artisan due to the mark as the alternative would be inferior goods. Same thing but much bigger scale, with a dash of marketing and broken trust (brand acquisitions followed by bad products) thrown in.
Authors currently don't control who or what reads their works, of course.

Personally I currently feel that (at life +70 years) the copyright pendulum has gone too far towards the rights of publishers (not necessarily authors) as is.

That said, I'm open to good arguments to change my mind. Why do you feel that authors should be given this additional right to control what is used for AI training? What would be the public good or public trade-off here?
