What do you mean by "cannot be applied"?

Of course it can be applied. We know that those states and governments are wrong by the universal moral code condemning murder, slavery and genocide. We would have no grounds to condemn these things, if it wasn't for a universal moral code.
There's a big difference between having one's name and address appear on a public land registry database, vs just handing it to an SF tech startup. At some point that data will monetized. Remember unroll.me? [0]

Dialoqbase v0.0.32 Now Supports Mistral Model
Hey HN,

Dialoqbase v0.0.32 (LangchainJS wrapper) has been released today, which now supports the Mistral Model via the fireworks.ai API. Additionally, we've added a few more data source loaders and introduced a new PG hybrid retrieval. Please provide your valuable feedback.

Repo: https://github.com/n4ze3m/dialoqbase
AES acceleration, finally. Lack of that made the Pi 4 not great for some applications like fileservers if TLS is in use or some VPN/mesh protocols.
Umjammable is not guaranteed. It’s a new tech (which is/was also geofenced from parts of the front line), so we there wasn’t that much time yet for adversaries to develop jamming tech.

It’s very likely harder to jam, but unjammable is a very bold statement.
> The "wages will come down" argument is an absolute joke - at the end of the day, if there's one thing people will pay a high price for, it's "to stay alive". And if there's a second thing people will pay for, it's "to not be in pain"

Demand for surgery is inelastic instantaneously. That does mean it’s also induced, i.e. more surgeons will generate more surgeries. Supply and demand will still apply.
The install of postgres was relatively trivial, it did however raise many licensing questions and I don't think we even had a lawyer on retainer to talk through it. This also made it weird because of license reasons, we couldn't actually download and agree to the license because that would be our company 'selling postgres' as part of the package so we needed the client to do that step.

I can't remember exactly why HSQL/H2 wasn't used but I think it had to do with fault tolerance and redundancy and what we could do with postgres replication was preferred over what we would have otherwise used SQLite for.
Surprised by the amount of negativity here. So many comments that are saying the raspberry pi isn't competitive in their market anymore and then post more locked down less open systems at 2x the price.

Mr. Benedum’s Will (1957)
Chomsky has missed the mark more than once. His response to the NATO campaign against Serbia during the Kosovo war was what clinched it for me. He's come back to apologize about being misunderstood in that he was only opposing NATO intervention because it would lead to a response (no shit) against ethnic Albanians by Serbs...

Talk about missing the forest for the trees. The ethnic cleansing of Albanians in Kosovo had been going on for almost a century at that point - not all ethnic cleansing is militaristic. It can occur via political representation, whitewashing of one's history, meaning, presence, through educational systems, sidelined and ignored into oblivion, like so many cultures have been.

I think he's taking a similar tone-deaf view of the Ukrainian conflict.
My angle was entirely on ground transportation issues. As for aircraft, this is only really a thought for small piston airplanes, which is a minor detail in the grand scheme of things and might be solvable with solid state batteries. I would also note that engine development in private planes is...well..basically stagnant. I don't think this has any real application in jet/turbo prop aircraft.
I think this is hardly the genocide-denial you think it is. In the Gaddafi case, I doubt he really sides with a military dictator.

His critique has always been how the West intervenes, but mainly for economic security and superiority. We don't give much of a rat's-ass about installing a fair democracy, if that's even what these countries want, so much as installing someone who agrees with us (see: Reagan in South America)
It's bmim!

For those who don't pay much attention to ionic liquids, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium, or "bmim", is one of the most common — if not #1 — ionic liquids used in organic chemistry. This property is rather unexpected, but the compound is not itself new or unusual.

As for the perchlorate anion, it's a little surprising, but given the cost of bmim (which is unlikely to come down), I don't think the authors expect it to be cost-effective outside of safety-critical environments where a fume hood could be employed.
> How do human groups glorifying immorality imply that there is no universal moral code? If the universal moral code exists outside of those groups, then it can be applied to their actions, and we can call them wrong for the thing they glorify.

Those groups would also call us wrong. If groups of humans tend to display very different and incompatible moral codes, that's a strong argument against a universal morality. Another argument against it is that most people in groups that glorified what terrifies us lived and died without showing an ounce of remorse for their actions.

> Your very sentence implies a universal moral code. You are calling murder, slavery, and genocide wrong.

Not at all. I used those examples because I know that most contemporary readers would agree. The fact that there is no universal moral code does not mean we can't have a moral code.
As an infra team we had this same problem. We also had a lot of different configuration types that were required for each tool, often several types being mixed within the same repo. After a couple of issues with syntax errors making it further down the release than we would have liked we ended up building a single tool to validate all of our configs rather than using a bunch of separate tools. We added it as a quality gate in our pipelines which really helped. We open-sourced it for anyone else going through the same issue: https://github.com/Boeing/config-file-validator. It's written in go and runs on Windows, MacOS, and Linux.
Check out Adam Harvey's "CV Dazzle" and other related design efforts. CV Dazzle is from 2010 but still very cool, the concept is generally to design cyberpunk clothing and headware that is adversarial to face detection algorithms. Algorithms are always changing, but I'm sure there will always be attacks of this nature. We could see them pop up in military applications in addition to personal privacy.

> You have to imagine that they are using some expanded definition of abuse to arrive at that 90% number that is not in line with the average person's views.

They define it as non-simulated harm. So the difference with Dexter is that in that case the actors pretend to have been injured, but in pornography the women are actually being injured. I guess most people's definition of "acting" would inlude something liek "pretend" or "make-believe."

> From the article: A significant amount of content amounted to torture. The report warned that any kind of so-called contract was void in legal terms, because a person could not consent to torture and sexual exploitation and trafficking.

It comes down to their legal definition of consent. One can not legally consent to being murdered for example. If a movie was made where someone was murdered then that would be illegal regardless of the contract in play. In France one can not consent to being tortured or abused, and most of the popular videos they looked at showed actresses being subject to actual torture or abuse.
That has, as usual, turned out to be a lie that was widely reported yet the correction wasn't.

What actually happened was that service in that cell had always been off and SpaceX refused to turn it on as doing so specifically for an attack would (obviously) make them party to that attack. It would also not be in line with US policy as they too had, until recently, refused to provide guided weapons with the kind of range that such an attack would've had.

https://www.engadget.com/ukrainian-official-claims-elon-musk...

Similarly, the reporting about the first time was misleading too, as the 1300 terminals that CNN reported on were ones supplied and paid for by the UK, which Ukraine and UK had agreed to stop paying for (because there were ~22k other terminals directly supported by SpaceX) and Ukraine had replaced them with other functional terminals before their service ended.

The obvious second book to read after Laozi is Zhuangzi (Chuang-Tzu). His book is a joy to read, full of humor and anecdotes, where Laozi's reads like cryptic poetry. Both books describe a common worldview of harmonious living with the natural world, from complementary perspectives.

I personally recommend Burton Watson's translation of Zhuangzi.
> GPIO can be added via tons of USB to GPIO boards out there.

Depends on the use case. USB adds a few orders of magnitude more latency and jitter versus what's probably just APB.

I do think these make more sense for most people. But I'll for sure be getting a Pi 5. I sold all my Pi 3 and 4 during the pandemic since I wasn't using them.
The USB-C port is still USB2 like the Raspberry Pi 4. Both the 4 and the 5 support OTG over the USB-C port.
A little bit of sweat equity is the ONLY way to do solar installs. Even if you hire other people to do the installation, sourcing the panels, the hardware, and your own electrician will save tens of thousands of dollars.

If you let a general contractor like SunRun, Tesla, or Solar City do the sourcing, you will either get:

a) The older generation equipment for top of the line prices.

b) Top of the line equipment for obscene prices.
Once again, an article that just isn’t true. I’m a paying subscriber but this option doesn’t show up for me.

> It’s a little confusing to get ChatGPT to search the web for you. The company provides instructions for the browser version, but I didn’t find the same for the iOS app. I figured it out, though. Assuming you have a subscription, it’s: three dots menu > Settings > New Features > Browse with Bing. Then, start a new chat, tap GPT-4, and “Browse with Bing.” Then your searches should return information from current websites.

There is no “New Features” section, it doesn’t exist, and yes I’m fully up to date on the app.

I hate that OpenAI continues to get away with pretending things are launched when they aren’t or don’t work.

Low probability does not mean zero probability, and the vast majority of an investigator's job is dealing with low probability events. Journalists want them to make definitive statements about things that occurred just hours earlier, and their experience says that don't yet know enough to make such a definitive statement.

The only exception of note is private small aircraft. Most commercial uses of an engine(Trucks, boats, etc) are Diesel, which is not a fire risk. Almost all small engines are rapidly being replaced with electric powertrains.

Well, ask two doctors and you'll get three opinions about work time. From my experience here in Germany:

- Doctors in training usually want to work as much as possible to finish their training as fast as possible, especially if they want to work in surgery. For instance, if you train for "general surgery", you need to do about 25 appendectomies, about 35 cholecystectomies, and so on. So in a perverse way, you need a bit of "luck" that you are working while these cases come in. More time in the hospital simply increases your luck.

- Young doctors without kids often want to work a lot to earn more money and accelerate their career.

- Older doctors with kids usually want to work less and more flexibility for choosing shifts.
AFAIK, such tests just feed the model chopped up bits of the evaluation data as raw strings with zero temperature. If it completes them verbatim, its probably in the training dataset.
Your wages are not profit by any definition I've seen.

You arrived at an employment contract with your employer. The contract is an exchange of value: your labor for some of their money.

If you are being paid more than the price your employer could otherwise obtain your labor for, then I suppose you could call some of that profit. But that is rather unlikely. Your employer is buying your labor, and is almost certainly paying you less than the value (to them) of whatever it is you do for them.

It also has an LLVM-based JIT compiler for Grid devices. Which I would love to see a deep dive on, if Bitwig folks would like to write an engineering blog.
I don't believe it does, at all? How do you "solve" the moral problem of, say, whether we can breed and kill animals to eat them?
Well yeah, compared to NY, DC itself is mostly an odd suburb. The entire region only has like 5 buildings over 30 stories tall; most are in the 15-story range or lower. Of course the NY subway is denser and runs more frequently.

DC is also not flat like NY. Some Metro stations are deeply buried in hills, but a bunch are shallow and many are actually above ground.
> 2>&1. You probably shouldn't be touching the shell if you don't know what that does...

I use the shell almost daily, and have shipped industry-leading products.

2>&1 is a vague memory because I'm not sure if I've ever done that; and I certainly shouldn't have to know some arcane shell trick to read the manual.

That's an exceptionally clean tree-felling, though the position of the hinge indicates it was meant to fall toward the wall.

The paint looks like an indication on how big to make the hinge, which actually suggests someone who "knows what they're supposed to be doing" but not "used to doing it all the time".
Thanks for this insight, I'd never thought about it this way.
And it can be rather practical. I've flashed firmware onto some devices using an online tool.
I agree. A more precise statement would be - as of now, Russia does not have the tech to jam it. They must be working on it and same for the Chinese, but for now, we haven't had any evidence that jamming is operationally deployed.
You can use scratch pad without creating an account, but any workspaces or collections you had saved in Insomnia can't be accessed without an account.
It is also worth noting that as of time of writing, the idea of whether or not Laozi was a single person that ever existed is less clear than originally interpreted.

One of the translations I've read more recently takes note of how it, and Zhuangzi were likely penned within the same century, and that Chinese culture of the time did not frown upon "borrowing" or "building" upon knowledge bases and presenting them as "yours".

Actually kind of an interesting attitude towards communal wells of knowledge compared to many modern attitudes, I think. The Tao Te Ching may technically be the ultimate work of textual "sampling" if there's any truth to it.
Do electrons get stale? I'd wager that, since space expands everywhere in all directions, they do get stretched out over time, or something.
I gotta agree here, I don't think the process of porting this to a wide array of languages is trivial.

Additionally I would have some serious performance concerns when it comes to marshaling the data across languages boundaries.

One of my big drivers away from XML is that processing used to be insanely expensive. Over the years this has improved some, but XML parsing is still significantly less performant than any other option, especially compared to JSON or YML. Used to be a few orders of magnitude more expensive on compute to read, and that's why many folks in the industry were happy to move on, esp for cases like message passing. I've pulled XML out of a few apps over the years in apps with a lot of message passing and the throughput and performance improvements were measurable and significant. For that use case Protobufs are much better than XML and have a schema though it's a binary format, so not usable for conf files.

Yes, and most importantly: nobody owns it.

Sure, we all complain about Chrome and its outsized influence, but at the end of the day the standards are more open than not and Safari and Firefox mostly work most of the time on most of the pages. That's a stark contrast to, say, .NET vs Cocoa or Android vs Apple app stores.
The problem is proving it; everyone in rural areas know of things that occur "outside the law" and exactly who did it, but there's no court-admissible evidence.
I've not used MISRA, so I'm really referring to the collection of tools for formal proofs that surround the style guide. Ada was worth trying for me just to contrast with rust and to add some humility to my rust evangelism. I don't like the verbosity or module system, and it is a bit dated as far as supporting anything but imperative styles. There is some confusion about how to deallocate stuff or if you should... Lastly, the thread safety mechanisms are kind of clunky to me.
Not directly from machine learning perspective, rather touching stability of use in production setup. We at VictoriaMetrics allow Prophet to be one of the models to use for time series anomaly detection in vmanomaly product. When it comes to cloud environment, Prophet, which uses `cmdstanpy` under the hood, allows little to no control over the backend, thus, resulting in unexpected crashes for read-only filesystems like Red Hat OpenShift, after the backend attempts to create assets in /tmp directory during model fit stage, so such dependencies may limit usage of a product in real-world scenarios.

Certain parts of the US establishment put enormous cultural weight on preserving the right of businesses to take advantage of consumers under the theory that in a free market the information will spread organically and consumers will punish those businesses.

It doesn't hurt that it's effectively legal for businesses to bribe politicians (as long as nobody is dumb enough to keep 6-figure sums of cash in their houses and get their wives no-show jobs for those businesses).
A fair theory of three broad approaches to AI scepticism.

Probably because the egg industry funds 60% of egg-cholesterol studies and they downplay the negative impact of eggs.

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/155982761989219...

> However, 49% of industry-funded intervention studies reported conclusions that were discordant with study results (ie, net cholesterol increases were described as favorable in the articles’ stated conclusions), compared with 13% of non–industry-funded studies.

I can definitely believe that the average American should probably keep eating eggs since they are better than the average American's egg replacement (more refined grains, sugar). But that doesn't mean eggs are part of a diet that minimizes CVD risk, for example. I think we often confuse the two facts.

LeMessurier gave a talk on this at my school when I was studying architecture and structural engineering. The narrative very much follows the lines of this story, but also appreciate the added detail in the article. His voiceover definitely emphasized the complex ethical considerations of engineering more than the technical: Balancing the interests of insurance, client brand, public sentiment and trust, government relations, and his own professional and firm. Don't get me wrong, the technical details and Delta P effect were super interesting. But the professional practice aspects were what he wanted students to take away from it.

This looks really nice, I like it!

JSON5 is elegant in that it's purely a subset of JavaScript (exactly as the original JSON is). But in practice that doesn't really gain you much besides a familiar syntax, and Hjson looks simple enough that the slight differences from JS shouldn't be a problem.

The real problem is how to persuade people to use something like this. For the few cases where JSON isn't already entrenched, YAML and TOML and the like have already salted the earth.
Another interesting aspect is that it was created as a manual for rulers during the Spring and Autumn periods of China. A time where the country was divided in many little states fighting for consolidate their power. Many philosophies arose on how to achieve this, and only a handful survived. So not only has it passed the test of time, but it could be said it was produced empirically in an age with intense adaptive pressures.
This is very impressive! I like how the 3D model has a “view cube” to show the orientation, and that it updates in real-time as parameters are changed

They call these types of programs [1] “configurators” and they’re pretty fun to play with, great for clients to see what they want, especially with workshop drawings as output!

It also reminds me a little bit of [2] Matthias Wandel‘s “wooden gear generator”, which I think has been somewhat profitable.

Maybe it would be good to highlight the parts of the model that are changing with the parameters. I know it shows the dimension that’s changing, but it would be even clearer to highlight the model itself I think
