Prior to getting into tech, I had an internship at the NY State Psychiatric Institute (NYSPI) where I did work helping people developing assessment tools for schizophrenic prodromes (people before they develop schizophrenia), as they were working on a predictive assessment questionaire.

Basically they were looking for risk factors but also to predict who might actually develop the disease imminently among those at risk, because if you monitor folks at risk, folks who might have subclinical symptoms, and can know who is going to have a psychotic break, you can manage and control it and have much better outcomes.

The largest predictive factor of folks who were at increased risk of developing schizophrenia is if they have a family history of it as I recall. Stress, in a variety of forms, is also a big factor.

However the reason I write is because I remember that late fall and winter conception of the individual has been shown to create a small but statistically significant increase in the likelihood of developing the disease. It's unclear exactly why, but one theory is that increased risk of viral infection for the mother during certain stages of pregnancy may be a factor.

Teasing apart these sort of facotrs, even to the extent possible often requires complex multivariate analysis of general and clinical populations and either time based or retrospective analysis of risk factors. Even then the mechanisms are fairly opaque.

Covid infection may lead to increased understanding of psychotic and subpsychotic disorders, but it's more likely to simply complicate any analysis; just teasing apart the actual effects of the disease and the stress that results from the social changes necessary to contain it, in terms of development of mental illness, may not be fully possible.
Nice, time for the yearly reinstall. I usually reinstall my MacBook whenever the new OS releases, it keeps my machine clean and fast.
Emissions are dropping like a rock though in the US and EU.
I had a grad school class that involved some math (encryption algorithms). To help understand some concepts I would check in with Chat GPT and use it as another resource along with the text, lectures, and youtube. At one point I used it to check some of the math and I noticed was that it simply did not do math well. It seemed to understand the steps (or most), but the numbers would just be wrong. So if any students out there just blindly pasted the results without checking, they would be wrong.

FYI - This was not GPT4.
Interesting. This is probably a universal problem for large model training but not being discussed enough.
macOS is a BSD in the same way that Linux is a Unix.

i.e. they may have started out that way, but almost nothing is gained thinking about this history today, despite it being factually correct.
How does this cause a compliance burden? It's banning the deployment of optional technologies.

If anything, this will help small players, since it prevents big ISPs from using their market leverage to negotiate favorable terms with service providers, and doing that levels the playing field.

For instance, there was a time when you could only get high resolution Netflix through large ISPs, since they'd forced Netflix to sign some CDN deal by messing with transit pricing.

I think in most countries people don't have to ask their PCP for permission to see the proper specialist. I don't have much other basis for comparison because I don't think I've ever met any PCP more than once anyway.
Why E-Ink isn't cheap yet? I see supermarkets using hundreds (maybe thousands) of panels with different sizes for displaying prices. I doubt they are paying 50$ for 7" display panel.

> Doxastic voluntarism is a philosophical view that people elect their own beliefs; that is, that subjects have a certain amount of control over what they believe

Do you hold such a view as a first principle? Or did you arrive at it via consideration of other factors?
Very cool and thanks for sharing.

To me a killer feature would be easily running different models simultaneously such as one for embeddings and another for completion (e.g. Chat). This likely can be done already by specifying the model parameter in Ollama (and others) but I've not explored it much yet.
Isn't this aimed specifically at people who are hybrid? I'd love something like this, personally. Have my house outside the city, travel in for 3 days 2 nights each week for work. This seems absolutely reasonable to me, although I kinda think they should offer it for free, but I don't know the legal ramifications of that.
> Did you find that the internal RTC on the esp wasn't accurate enough?

It's more the power savings I was after :-) I wanted to put the esp32 into the deepest possible sleep state, which involves turning the RTC/RTC memory off entirely and is a pretty big drop. The external RTC I picked has a much lower current draw.

The esp's RTC is quite inaccurate, but certainly good enough to ballpark "morning update" and update system time to re-calibrate then.
The only way that would be possible is if an llm were in a mode of always being trained and could count on being accurate. Which i dont think is possible? So trying to use the calculated weights as a massive compressed data source that knows everything is a mistake and is just leaning into the hype. which this is doing imo.

The only thing it seems to enable is using natural language as an interface, instead of a programmed api. Text goes in, translates to something the computer understands, text comes back to the use. Instead of like rpc and and error code. And there is code auto complete.
It is peculiar because it was legislated from the bench. Congress made it very clear at the time the legislation was drafted, multiple times, that they considered concentrated markets to be, in effect, a parallel state. Every captain of industry today would become a tyrant tomorrow, if given the power. Textualists and originalists should have smacked down consumer welfare the moment it was proposed.

> Additionally, the consumer harm test focuses on the consumer which is the ultimate class of people antitrust laws seek to protect. Antitrust laws don’t exist to protect markets, they exist to protect citizens.

Citizens stop being consumers when they exit the store. Then they go to work or run their business, whereupon Amazon harms them to the tune of thousands of dollars - all so they can save a penny when they put that "consumer" hat back on. This is ludicrous and self-defeating.

> Quantitative tests are seen as less able to be abused because some judge has a particular view/vibe

Of course, the choice of which quantitative test to use is totally objective too, right? /s
Cleaning dung off the wall takes a lot more effort than putting it there in the first place. I wouldn't confuse prolixity for ambiguity, in case that was your point.
As I say, I really don’t understand and this probably isn’t the place to educate me, but this isn’t the only article I’ve seen that regards Send + ‘static as a) mandatory and b) problematic.
Free electron lasers are not without their difficulties either, so I guess China assessed how well they could follow ASML and, given their difficulties, decided to learn from someone else's mistakes instead of making them themselves.

They still might learn from their own mistakes, but at least they are trying something different. I'm not sure vaporizing tin-droplets can be improved enough to solve all of ASML's problems.

Yeah sure, some time in the future. For now I think the fuzzyness and mediocre quality of the responses you get at scale are probably big showstoppers for usage at large.

Not surprised in the least. The simple, effective, and efficient way to deal with CO2 emissions is to tax the carbon content of fuels. The other schemes are all nonsense, and it baffles me why otherwise intelligent and educated people think they can determine the "carbon footprint" of a business.
I think the public opinion of LLMs is so severely damaged right now that if Google made that available tomorrow it would be a media circus of bad incidents, experts, and even politicians chiming in.

That the public has a poor understanding of technology cuts both ways. There's no such thing as user error if they're talking to an LLM. High expectations require high amounts of testing, regulation, etc.
My kids have been confused on why I have to buy separate copies of many indie games for both Steam and Playstation and/or Switch. And... it actually is rather obnoxious.
We built a new horizontally scalable LLM inference server that is optimized for AMD. API docs: https://lamini-ai.github.io/API/completions/

Put a load balancer in front of it and it will scale to as many GPUs as you can get.

For training we build on SLURM. We containerized SLURM, so you just need to provision GPU servers, launch the SLURMd containers on training nodes. SLURM scales to 10,000s of servers.

We typically launch SLURMd containers on bare metal, but some of our customers manage them with kubernetes/etc
But if they pay you in GoogleBucks and only accept cash at the hotel, they can also charge you a fee to convert the GoogleBucks to cash.
9/11 was not a result of lax security in airports, but lacking security measures onboard planes themselves which have since been addressed with reinforced locking cockpit doors being sealed before departure, etc.

It's been proven time and time again even by other government agencies that it is trivially easy to sneak "dangerous" things (including knives and firearms) through TSA checkpoints onto planes. The current state of airport "security" in the USA is 110% theatre which taxpayers and travelers pay through the nose for.

> This is a huge, recent shift in direction, and probably came after your time in HS.

I am probably younger than you think and 'standards-based' approaches were a big fad at the time. Standards based grading in highschool ("SWBAT"-style) absolutely does not mean grades based entirely on test, projects, etc, and in fact generally translated to heavy weighting towards random classwork worksheets.
as long as the word consent is not weaselized it sounds fair.
Who ever invented this idea that life has "meaning"?

What even does anybody mean, when they say "meaning"?

We grew out of the pond scum, why does that imply that it has any "meaning"?

This is just another symptom of the pathological primate.

A consequence of the first act of any (marginally) self aware entity: to believe it is at the center of the universe...

I don't know why I can't seem to get on the LLM hype train everyone is so ready to jump on. I either lack vision or see it for what it is, a next-gen search engine. And don't get me wrong that's amazing, but not world-shattering as people want to believe.
I think they have a good point, though. I would like the laws to prevent a single corporation from being 90% of all groceries for an entire state even if they aren't anything close to a monopoly from a national perspective.
This is essentially what Windows Copilot seems to be attempting to do currently. There's obviously downsides to this approach from a security concern - it doesn't live on device, it's on the cloud.

I actually think Apple is incredibly positioned here. All of their devices have dedicated NPUs, if they can optimize an LLM to run locally on these in a way that's performant/accurate, the power could be incredible for a local AI that helps out. It'd likely be a huge sales driver as well - Pro devices might have faster/more accurate AI assistants. If it's purely local, the access to personal data becomes less of a concern. Super curious to see how this evolves.
It isn't, but there's a big difference between writing straight C and writing some unsafe Rust with safe wrappers. It's generally possible to have comparably few lines of unsafe Rust that do the heavy lifting and can be verified to maintain memory safety without sacrificing performance.

I'd guess that most of the middle class have not been on a recent vacation to Europe, if they ever have.

Vacation is different than than permanently living there. In many ways there are more freedoms in the US, easier to own property, lower taxes, better economic outlook. Of course all of this depends on which county you're talking about since they are vastly different.

Immigration requirements are often strictest in the best areas, and often exclude those who would most benefit from stronger social support systems.
With LPCAMM we could finally have 128GB LPDDR Memory on Laptop, and possibly 256GB down the line, within this decade.

exLLAMAv2 and GPTQ are different implementations, and currently exLLAMA is definitely the best for discrete Nvidia (and AMD?) GPUs. Its faster and uses less VRAM for the same perplexity than pretty much anything else.

But the EX2 quantization is very new, and you will have to quantize many models yourself.

But its missing some killer features of llama.cpp, like grammar based sampling.

Yeah, trial courts sometimes get no-brainers wrong, that’s significant enough that there is a reason the first level of appeal is “as of right” and not discretionary.

Ask HN: How to market a macOS app distributed outside the AppStore
Hi HN

I’ve developed a couple of macOS apps but I’m using the Accessibility Framework and could not distribute them on the Apple AppStore.

Do you have any tips or advice on how to promote them?

As an indie developer I find it quite challenging to get traffic. Unlike the AppStore where I could focus on AppStore Optimization (ASO).
So I take it that this would be the highest performing + most customizable engine for web deployment due to its deep WASM nature? What about rendering, does it use WebGPU?

I'm reminded of an Indian here in The States named Chief Black Kettle. During the failed negotiation of the land usage of the indigenous and the white settlers, which would eventually lead to his death and the massacre of his people, the white men simply could not understand why the Indians needed "so much land" and continued to reduce the amount of reservation would be granted.. until none was left at all.

The moral of the story is that a person's way of life is not defined by outsiders. "Efficient", "nicer", "Productive"... all sound like excuses for pushing people out of their homes and destroying their culture.

The Indians lived on this land for a thousand years without pollution or over crowding. Only once we started building and farming did these problems surface. So, "Overcrowding actually happens when you don't build enough housing." is obviously false. Overcrowding happens when you have too many people in the same space, as a tautology.

And even in consoles, you have the option of never buying one: you can play videogames on PC, on a tablet or on a mobile phone. And now you even have the cloud option with NVIDIA or MS' Game Pass Ultimate.

With Amazon however, it's more complicated since they control so many businesses. Visiting a website? Very probably it's hosted on AWS, or on a platform that runs on AWS. Visiting a friend with a smart doorbell thingy? Quite probably an Amazon Ring. Want to buy an e-book to read?

Right now it just works with OpenAI chat models (gpt-3.5-turbo, gpt-4) but if there's interest I plan to extend it to have several backends. These would probably each be an existing library that implements generating structured output like https://github.com/outlines-dev/outlines or https://github.com/guidance-ai/guidance. If you have ideas how this should be done let me know - on a github issue would be great to make it visible to others.
Apple's first foray into this kind of tech would have been siri, but they made the baffling decision to send siri requests to their servers and back rather than running locally. I know at some point that changed a while back, can't remember when, but siri is still so bad at doing/understanding very basic things that my confidence in apple is not super high to wield this tech.
> Shouldn’t this say “immunity”, not “impunity”?

Legal immunity is impunity in the common English sense, so the headline is an accurate factual description of the impact either way.

> the other is a similar word that has no specific legal meaning, and which does not appear in the linked opinion at all.

Neither of those is relevant to the evaluation of the headline (were the word in quotes, the fact that it is not a quote from the opinion would be relevant, but its not, so its not.)
Linus isn't behaving greatly here, but having a read through of the whole mailing list thread I'm actually fairly understanding of his reaction for once.

For sure, some people definitely think this is problematic. But I wonder how much of that is "this is problematic to my philosophy of programming" versus "this actually slows me down when writing code".
I have had many positive sports experiences.

Photographing high school soccer was my excuse to buy a DSLR…and refereeing youth soccer was how I started understanding people and road tripping for tournament work was how I really got the travel bug.

But there’s no free lunch. I’ve seen sports tribalism used as the excuse for bullying, violence, and bad behavior in general…in myself as well as others.

It’s not that there are not thoughtful conversations to be had around sports, it is that sports has such a low barrier to trolling and reactions are often deeply emotional.

I mean asking for your specific team support would have been the low hanging troll vector.

More importantly trolling would have been within the norms of sports talk when both people aren’t saying roll tide etc.

These days, I usually read the BBC football page every day and watch Premier League on whatever day Arsenal play and have my fix by 2pm Pacific…home games are all done before noon because the gunners play early because of police coverage.

That’s enough for me now. I was in the Orange Bowl when my team beat Nebraska for its first national championship, I went to four World Cup matches, seen Shaq play for the home team, seen Valderama’s home debut, seen Kaka make his home debut, seen seen Consequo play for the home team, seen my childhood team finally win a superbowl, seen my child win two D1 youth soccer state championships and a 7A high school championship.

My fan race is mostly run and I mostly don’t miss the deep emotions that binary sports thinking once caused.
