- ramped up to 16k BeMyEyes + 1k developer alpha testers over 6 months

- reduced frequency and severity of hallucinations

- improved OCR and quality of descriptions

- great demand for describing people without affecting privacy/bias -
intentionally refusing person identification 98% of the time and lowering accuracy
to 0%. also declining a whole lot of problematic queries, per fig 8

- converting known jailbreaks to images to defend against multimodal jailbreaks. ironic how jailbreak collection websites probably made it a lot easier to break the jailbreaks

- interesting descriptions of mitigation process in 2.4.2.

Osaka and Nagoya are losing people also. The changes are for metro areas, not city cores.

It simply means that you can't compute new housing very easily by new housing construction rates (you have to subtract old housing demolitions).

Density currently isn't increasing (you tear down one three story narrow house and replace it with another three story narrow house, you need to buy a bunch of SFHs to make a new apartment building).
Instead of using a cronjob you can put the device into sleep and use the RTC to schedule the next wakeup (see [1]). This takes only very little power, as the device is only turned on for mere seconds and sleeps the remaining time.

That said, how much should I pay for an episode of a TV show from 30 years ago where the producers are dead and the other creators are mostly comfortably living in retirement having already earned their living and been paid for their work?

I started a career in tech several years ago when I was 35, so I think it's definitely possible for someone just a year older than that.

I feel that institutional knowledge is incredibly important, especially in tech, and probably undervalued with the decision to layoff. On boarding costs for new engineers is very high. Layoff and rehire cycles don't make sense in tech for those reasons.

my concern is that you somehow can find time to write long comments with lots of handwavings (our framework is designed for that, and their framework is not designed for that), but refuse to provide specific code pointers and example in support of your opinion. For example, in this specific case, can you give example how green threads can be used with current Java IO library, or Java JDBC library?

Very different -- Spotify significantly increased the amount of music people consume, and the amount of artists that can get easily compensated (listing on Spotify is much easier than releasing a CD).

In this case: Getty is going to be paying less overall (otherwise, why do it at all?), and they will pocket the extra margin.
We could definitely build more housing. But "Meditations on Moloch" suggests that Malthusian traps might be inevitable. Why work ten hours when a political enemy like Russia or China might work 40 hours or 80 hours and then nuke you?
Absolutely.
We already know why the interest groups focus on the communications, instead of proven ways.
Because it is a false flag operation. The topic is used as a vehicle to undermine private encrypted communication.
obvious approach for corporations is to simplify the math.

the model is made from X images, from Y artists, each artist has a percent contribution to the total. between 0 and 100 percent.

so each time money is generated by the model, the contributors get their share.

as a bonus, it is easy to understand how that share was derived. so it is implicitly fair.

(please keep in mind that this “artist’s share” will be a percentage of the net revenue generated, and that this percentage will probably be a trade secret or some such.)

(any works from artists unable to be paid, meaning public domain or otherwise, will be handled by the corporation for the continuous and never-ending improvement of the platform that makes it all possible.)

I think I have about an average knowledge of Rugby for an American. So, not much.

My attempt at a succinct explanation would be “football (American) but they start plays all bunched up instead of in lines”.

I’m sure it’s very wrong.

Cricket would be “baseball, but the home plate umpire is made of sticks”.
Im going to have to decline doing a research project for you. Regardless and back to the main point of my comment - the reason 3/4 of water delivery is a public service is from permitting and other red tape primarily. Not because of reasons having to do with pricing.
The number of comments here of people fearing there is a ghost in the shell is shocking.

Are we really this emotional and irrational? Folks, let's all take a moment to remember that AI is nowhere near conscious. It's an illusion based in patterns that mimic humans.

> I believe the common complaint is that "just need to mark your function as IO ()" has non-local effects, you end up needing to propagate a bunch of extra stuff everywhere

Yes, indeed you do. But it's a bit strange that that is a complaint. It's the whole point of fine grained effect tracking. If you change what effects a function does then you have to acknowledge that by changing the code that use that function (directly or indirectly)!
It's also really a pain once you realize that many strings are stored in raw UTF16 form. It makes using any tools or doing any automation on the values much harder than it should be.
Some interesting things about silicosis are...

1) The ancient Greeks and Romans knew about the hazards of breathing dust, and knew that stone workers were particularly at risk.

2) The name Silicosis was coined in 1870 by Achille Visconti who was studying lung disease in hard-rock miners. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicosis

3) Silicosis can be entirely avoided by cutting stone (and silicon bearing ceramic materials) with a "wet cut"... literally just add water!

So, this danger has been known to stone workers for 2 millennia, protection is cheap, effective and readily available, and yet people are still falling prey to it.

I have personally witnessed professional counter top installers working in obviously unsafe ways, who have actively & energetically refused face masks, water dust collection, and vacuum dust collection (which is far less effective).

This is an article about human frailty, not about some new threat.

It is an important point that human callousness towards the well being of others seems to be self emergent. Clearly the people at the top of the stone cutting industry in LA are not investing in training their new young workers in proper technique.

How can this be addressed? I don't know. It seems Adam Smith and Karl Marx have both failed to leave us useful guidance on the subject.
From Google "......Silicosis is the oldest known occupational lung disease. Ancient Greeks were familiar with lung disease in quarry workers (Hippocrates) and the fact that ..... "

This entire "scandal" is simply a variety of bizarre tactics and discussions to get around the fact that people expect to be able to see the most popular musicians on the entire planet for $40.

I strongly suspect that we could make equally protective, lighter weight crumple zones if we were designing for collisions with lighter weight cars. Excessive cabin protection is largely needed because bumpers on light trucks are at head level for passengers in normal cars. Weight is a safety factor independent of crumple zones and cabin protection because in a crash m1a1=m2a2, and you don't want to get caught with the smaller m.

I'm concerned that we're currently cranking out a generation of uniquely heavy and dangerous vehicles which future vehicles will have to share the road with for decades, perpetuating these dangerous design factors.

If we designed a new 5-seat sedan that could easily reach 90 mph, but which only needed to share the road with other copies of itself, I bet we could do it in 1000 pounds and it would be far safer.
I've been thinking about the right balance for validation.

> LLMs are not "AI" in the old sense of being conscious and aware.

This isn't an argument, it's just an assertion. You're talking about a computer system whose complexity is several orders of magnitude beyond your comprehension, demonstrates several super-human intelligent capabilities, and is a "moving target"--being rapidly upgraded and improved by a semi-automated training loop.

I won't make the seemingly symmetrical argument (from ignorance) that since it is big and we don't understand it, it must be intelligent...but no, what you are saying is not supportable and we should stop poo-pooing the idea that it is actually intelligent.

It's not a person. It doesn't reason like a person. It doesn't viscerally understand the embarrassment of pooping its pants in 3rd grade. So what?

Ask HN: As an experienced full stack engineer, how to get my first job in ML?
I have almost 15 years experience as a full stack engineer at several successful web startups, reaching the equivalent of around E6/E7 level. Now I'd like to transition to the ML space, ideally on the research side of things where I can learn about working with or training large models. I'm also open to getting my foot in the door from the engineering/infrastructure side.

I've looked into a few of the obvious big players so far, and it seems tough to break in without prior ML experience. Of course, I've learned a little about the basics of model training on my own, going through the derivations and implementing toy models in notebooks, but that hasn't been enough when the candidate pool is so large that recruiters appear to require professional ML experience. On top of all that, a lot of companies appear to be going through headcount issues.

Would love to hear about opportunities that seem like a good fit at companies that are hiring, and open to suggestions on what I can do on my own to be a more attractive candidate. Thanks!
You're constructing an argument the person never made.

The binary for my app could live in a hypothetical /apps/bob.

Its config could be in there too.

There's no need to duplicate dynamically linked system libraries in there.

If the app need a different version of a library than the one provided by the distro/os, it could vendor it (or link statically). Optionally it can vendor and still try to use OS version if they version is satisfied, but this is just a memory optimisation (disk isn't that expensive).

There's also no need to place firewall rules in there. I'm not sure where you got that from. Firewalls are beyond the scope of a single application?

As for making thing system-wide available, there's already a few solutions for this (symlinks being a very backwards compatible way of doing this on nixes).

For all its faults and poor UX execution (albeit, maybe things improved since I last used them) flat pack and snap have some good ideas!

Lot set backs are frequently a part of the fire codes. They help prevent a fire in one building taking out the entire block.

Parking minimums are a chicken and egg problem. My suburb has started allowing new apartments to build about half the parking that would have been required a decade ago. Trouble is, those tenants still own cars since the transit system isn't robust enough to go without. Now those cars flood the streets of the single family residences nearby. Eliminating parking minimums has been mostly successful in the city core but expanding it out to the entire metro doesn't work with how we've built America over the last 70 years.
> Sure, the housing market in Europe is struggling as well, but it's not even close to the situation in the US because so much affordable housing in mixed-use middle density buildings is available.

Have you ever worked or managed in a situation like this? It's usually not as easy as you seem to think. I have worked in these situations and know managers who have this kind of issue. The managers worry, and try to get people to comply, but it's tough when only a minority comply, especially because one has to enforce so many different requirements.

I still don't agree as such, but yes, there is indeed ceremony involved in turning something that was pure into something effectful. That is in fact the whole point!

OSRS wiki isn't the best example. Jagex does not fund it, and is recommending they move to fandom/ad based support.

Despite the OSRS wiki being legitimately the best website I use every day, it's leadership has been sounding the death knell every few months, always to an alarmingly quiet response.

They have no money, have no revenue generator, and have a full staff that needs to be paid. The last post they put to the community mentioned moving back to fandom (crazy) or injecting ads at a pretty insane volume.

So yes, fandom sucks. But also, a "normal" wiki takes expertise, and usually, compensation.

I don´t know the wikipedia page mention "must provide" which in my opinion is not enough and should be must enforce.

the OSHA page (https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/19...) mention "the employer shall fully and properly implement the engineering controls, work practices, and respiratory protection specified for the task on Table 1" which one could read as more than just need to provide but I have idea if it's true.
