I'm not surprised. How many stories have we seen where a seemingly minor accident caused a Rivian to be totaled? Or Teslas waiting for weeks or months to get the parts needed for a repair? I've been thinking to myself what's going to happen to the insurance rates for these vehicles?

Take Tesla's gigacasting, for example. Great to bring down manufacturing costs, horrible for repair costs. Insurance covers repairs, not production. If your gigacast vehicle gets in an accident, you're likely to get screwed. It's very hard to do bodywork on those vehicles and there's few people with the experience to do it. That's expensive - and that's what you're asking your insurance provider to cover.

Add to it the sensors and cameras and everything else they're adding to these vehicles and they're becoming a nightmare to repair. It kind of pisses me off, in a way. EV's are supposed to be simpler, but what we've done is to actually make them more complex, at least from a repair perspective. All I really wanted was a simple car, such as a Honda Civic, that has an electric drivetrain. Simple. Not a bunch of electronics to go awry, I could take to any bodyshop and have repaired, and I could realistically expect to get 400,000 miles. </rant>
Of course -- thanks!

This... is NixOS. Immutable root. It isn't glamorous, or cool, or kid's stuff. It's the most addictive kind of package manager, and it can kill your motivation to work on actual packages. What's really bad is, nobody knows how much you'll need. Every time you use it, you risk your sanity. It isn't worth it.

Look: everybody wants to be cool. But doing it with NixOS doesn't just take long, it could be dead long.

(Disclaimer: I love Nix and couldn't leave it if I tried)
Yes, good point – I should have written towns, rather than cities. I just pushed a fix, thanks.
It's a model 40% of the size of Mistral's designed to be transparent (full training details, datasets & evals here: https://stability.wandb.io/stability-llm/stable-lm/reports/S...) and work on edge devices.

There are improved versions coming but this is the best 3b model and Mistral is the best 7b model.
I don't think this is a problem for CN because in China, you can take the subway after getting off the train. It's okay to have the station afar from the center. This is the not case with Laos but I don't think the people planning that really cared.

And realistically, I saw no requirement of 100% fresh squeezed orange juice. So at most we're doing 51% fresh squeezed. I'm not sure it specified a size either. So we can certainly shave half an ounce or more off of whatever is customary.
It may not work for the five people in the office, because it’s not the environment they enjoyed if the 95 other people are not there. This is particularly true if teams are split that way.

Nobody should be forced to anything, but that doesn’t mean that an arbitrary mix works.
Let's make it so that cars don't have to dictate peoples movements so that people won't feel personally attacked by regulations slowing card around pedestrians, kids, and elderly in residential areas.
I just got access to the pilot of Ivy and was immediately turned off to the project as they ask for access to read your clipboard. Trust is broken right off the bat. Hard pass. https://imgur.com/a/UvG7QW2
Wow, that's good to hear. I've been so heavily biased against touching any i3 stuff from years of struggling with them.
If you search for children's clothing, you get multiple different companies. The query obviously hasn't been modified to just include one brand.

It's cute, and provides a hint of human connection that is otherwise absent on the web "hey, another human is reading this too!" which you probably know but something about seeing the pointer move makes it feel real.

Probably not the greatest during a hacker news hug of death, but if I read that article some other time and saw one of the moving pointers, I would think it was really cool.
At first I thought this was more of a 'pipeline' paper that chains together existing image extraction like SAM with LoRAs, but I'm impressed by the improvement in visual fidelity they get from doing intermediate end to end training. The union sampling is also not something I would have thought of.

Impressive! Thanks for the release.
Agreed. Unfortunately it's very difficult to have an intellectually honest conversation about remote work. People have very strong feelings about remote (because it's very beneficial for their personal lives), but that creates a lot of wishful thinking / motivated reasoning.

I'd love to be able to work remote as well, but I can still see some rational reasons why my employer wants us to stay in the office ...
it is exceptionally difficult to get rid of

turning it off is temporary

if you disable the service it gets re-enabled, if you delete the service it comes back, if you delete the executable it comes back

what does seem to work is removing all permissions to it in safe mode
OK, the first one I can understand. The second one... installing an open-source package that runs on almost everything doesn't seem like that big a deal.

But those are reasonable answers. I would rather see engineering effort go into fixing bugs in the suite, but I realize that the people volunteering to "Web-enable" the software aren't necessarily the ones who'd be fixing unrelated bugs.
Yes, indeedy.

Many things learned over the last three decades with smaller (the current terminology is "extremely tiny"! :) neural networks are being revisited for these large models.

I'm sorry but the website design is extremely distracting. The mouse pointers at least are easy to delete with the inspector; The background color is not the best choice for reading material, but the inexcusable part is the width of the content.

This content must be really awesome for someone to go through the trouble of interacting with such a site.
It's important to refer to this as "taxpayer funded" and not "free". That doesn't mean it shouldn't happen, but saying something is free strips it of value. What we should be internalizing is that this is a public good, like roads and bridges. Nobody's like "Dude, we are getting a free road!"

> The content of a webpage is required to be expressed in every supported language, but the HTTP protocol must not. And it would make no sense at all to add internationalization to intra-machines protocol, where ASCII is enough and has been enough for decades.

I guess no URLs with funny characters then. "GET /profile/renée" => 500 error, woohoo.

> And if someone complains that ASCII only supports English, well... suck it up! I'm Italian and work in French, still I hate when a colleague sneaks in a comment not in English. Professional software development happens in English.

Get over yourself, a lot of professional development happens in languages other than English.
Python is very strict about type checking, it just does it at runtime.

The next step is Idris, where you define starting and desired type and start interactive shell to figure out right way to get there.

How much does one unit cost?

Mochii starts at $48K for the imaging only unit. The spectroscopy-enabled version, which provides full featured x-ray spectroscopy and spectrum imaging, is $65K.

It has an integrated metal coater option available for $5,000, and we offer a variety of optical cartridge exchange programs that can fit your consumables utilization and pricing needs.
This is the same guy who suggested injecting disinfectant or "bringing light inside the body" to cure covid. He also continues to lie about his election loss in a desperate attempt to cling to power. Trump is shameful, but he doesn't represent the long history of the US.
This actually makes sense to me - conversion is possibly the most clear signal that the query intent was answered. While there is a financial incentive for Google to make this happen, it also results in improved user experience - in the less cynical days I might call this a “win win”.
What do you mean by "work"? That you can store arbitrary bytes in a string? That's a pretty low bar.
What’s wrong with gravity?
I have no idea if this is true, but I suppose it's not rocket science and the mechanics in the knows can service them. It's not some valuable information you can obtain from them. And if it's some manuals they are after, they could buy them from someone working there if they are not secret, but if they are secret then they will not send them to a random person on whatsapp.

> Belyaev is a 29-year-old synthetic-speech artist at the Ukrainian start-up Respeecher, which uses archival recordings and a proprietary A.I. algorithm to create new dialogue with the voices of performers from long ago. The company worked with Lucasfilm to generate the voice of a young Luke Skywalker for Disney+’s The Book of Boba Fett, and the recent Obi-Wan Kenobi series tasked them with making Darth Vader sound like James Earl Jones’s dark side villain from 45 years ago, now that Jones’s voice has altered with age and he has stepped back from the role.
Rclone doesn't work too well on mobile though, which is where cryptomator is really nice.

Perhaps there's a reason the anti-abortion guy isn't releasing Python.
Except your productive components are what makes these guns. There is probably a certain balance or exchange of power that we do not understand. Or maybe China is on the cusp of an upheaval but because of its size its revolution happens on a longer time frame that we do not understand.
The scaling problem isn’t that hard with traditional signature based AV, the upfront work is largely the same irrelevant of scale of infections.

You just keep updating your obfuscator/packer tool and constantly deploy new, undetected binaries.

There’s online “crypter” services which are quite cheap that will do this for you - give you a constant stream of new, unique, undetected versions of your malware executable.

AV is basically very good at blocking yesterdays threats - the shit it knows about.

Professional blackhats just factor constant evasion into their operating costs (which includes other costs like new C&C domains, VPS’s, buying traffic for installs. etc) anyway.
That's fairly short. I read about 100 books a year and it includes thousand page tomes like The Count of Monte Cristo.
Title should be "Using Emacs as $EDITOR" (all caps).
It's my understanding that in regular non-sliding window context models the llm is able to pay attention to any part of the input when generating the output. The attention head is essentially able to jump back and forward to any point in its context window. This is what differentiates the attention mechanism from other models that use token proximity as a proxy for relevance.
I would bet that a significant amount of the business they "lose" on Sundays just translates into pent-up demand that equalizes during the week. But super hard to measure/prove that sort of thing.
Dave Clark’s tumultuous last days at Flexport
"Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun" well yes.

I am curious why you chose to write this in Chinese which most people here won't understand.

Might makes right or might is right is a closely related phrase, too.
There's at least a handful of places that you can't escape them, one of the most evident in my mind is when constructing higher order functions or other decorators. Maybe a simple example would be a retry higher order function (or decorator), where you can't know the arguments and their form ahead of time, and want to invoke the wrapped function as is (and only do something like repeating if an exception is triggered). Keyword arguments are helpful for writing certain kinds of generic code, but definitely can be easily abused (much like most of the meta-programming facilities in Python).
I worked for BP for a while (well, as a contracted coder) and I got quite used to the UK spell check correcting everything to its idiom. Everything seemed wrong once I returned a world that dismissed the value of the letter 'U' and preferred the letter 'Z' over 'S'. Also missed the normalizing of drinking beer at lunch.
I will echo this.

The only things top school really do is gate-keep who is allowed to get in, providing as a consequence some sense of exclusivity. The quality of education does not seem to be that different. And even if it was, it doesn't matter that much in a field like CS that is mainly self-learned and gets reinvented every decade.
I had the same opinion when taking high speed train for the first time in China. Many stations seemed to be far away from anything and there was a lot of process when you get to the station. That's not the case now as all of those areas have sprung up, along with convenient transportation via subway/metro to the places you'd want to get to. You can also board the train quickly now.

I'm not sure if that makes sense for Laos, but for China it seemed to work pretty well.
It does sound fun, although I shudder at trying to prove that such a thing would be free of side channel attacks.
They ended up with ownership of a port and a lot more though. The point of the article is that they are being short-sighted by angering everyone, but you saying that they did the opposite of predatory lending is wrong. It was absolutely predatory lending, just not well executed.
Searching for "children's clothing" gives 100% spam (== store front landing blurbs or things that are labeled "sponsored"). Searching "NIKOLAI-brand kidswear" gives some organic results and some spam.

So, it's now worse than the previous alleged behavior.

Great.
Many of the use cases you’re describing can be done offline, such as when the phone is charging overnight, although not all of them. An email autoresponder could still work in real time at these token rates, and it would still be faster than most humans at responding to an email.

7 hours * 3600sec/hr * 21token/sec = 530,000 tokens per night on this hardware, assuming no thermal throttling. (I don’t have data to say what the sustained rate would be, throttling could happen.)
You can type ① with the UniChar keyboard app on iOS. It at least claims it doesn’t transmit information. As it’s only useful for special characters I don’t worry because I can’t use it for normal typing anyway.

There is a huge benefit IMO to trimming down which apps are allowed to send notifications, and running your phone in DND mode all the time. I set exceptions for calls from family, since those are usually a fairly urgent thing.

Generalists will find our small team environment particularly welcoming.

If you want to apply, please see: https://www.indeed.com/company/RealGo,-Inc./jobs/Full-Stack-...
and mention that HN sent you.
Wouldn't work. Imagine a sequence with 100 tokens, fed to a model with 10 layers, each with a sliding attention window spanning 5 tokens. The top layer's final sliding window can only see 5 trailing tokens, each of which can only see 5 trailing tokens in the previous layer, and so on, for a total of 50 trailing tokens (plus the initial token) of maximum trailing context in the top layer.

It's an inherent limitation of this approach.
Yes, Russia is "weaker" than it would be otherwise. For now, until they economically align with China and circumvent the sanctions completely, and form a series of Axis powers, which is literally what happened the "last time fascist imperialism went unchecked" and turned into the deadliest conflict in human history.

The least idiotic option is diplomacy.

As for nukes and carpet bombing, that was never on the table. Russia has nukes the same as the United States.
As a dev of multiple languages, distro maintainer, general experimenter-with-things and basic ML user - Linux with 8GB works perfectly fine here. Sounds like something else is happening with your system.
I commented elsewhere, but I came from a not-well-off single parent house. I paid for college with loans. Then I paid off the loans.

If someone has done well in school and wants to go into a stable, well-paying profession, it's probably the only area (besides a mortgage) that I'd recommend taking a loan. I paid zero dollars for four years to go to school and live and eat on campus.

Going into an engineering program, the risk was relatively low that I would not be able to pay it back while still in my 20s (which I did). 20 years later, while the cost of the degree was high the opportunities that it made available were beyond what would have been available without it and payback was amortized over time.
Yes and the missing key is frustrating too. Trying to find | and ` and \ on a laptop that doesn't have all the keys is so painful I just add the US keyboard layout to my menu bar.
The case for – and against – taking your shoes off in the house
I agree, even just tokenization screws you here, I'm 95% sure. I.e. the raw input isn't letters but one of 100K integers that represent some set of letters.

That being said, probably a naive take, since we're seeing them do so much. & I bet we could get it to count correctly with at least some short input, and given infinite runs, probably trivial. (I.e. for N characters, split into N inputs, for each one "say true if it is an M, false otherwise,)
I prefer to use something more lightweight as $EDITOR, such as 'mg'. Almost all the same keybindings, unfortunately no syntax highlighting, but very fast startup.

Having moved from Google Analytics to Counter: Counter is open source and minimal. I'm not sure what kind of performance impact Google Analytics had on my blog, but I knew it was less, and I knew that the data counter tracked felt like less of a privacy issue for my users than the excessive proprietary tracking setup from Google. I also love that there aren't 380 different pages of nothing to look at, I only see the info I actually want to see and I get out of there instead of staring at my stats.

I use managed hosting for my blog and didn't want to host and manage my own analytics backend, so all of those tools were also, obviously, a no-go.

And my blog is a personal project, I'm never, ever going to pay for analytics, that's insane.

I don't know why I would care about how "proven" an analytics tool is, considering how little analytics matter to me in the first place. It's just cute to get an idea of how many people are looking at my blog.
Yeah, I can see that and in most cases that's true. But I also understand the anger of people who were legitimately bait-and-switched. For some people it may be a big deal, if they have to move to work in the office for example. But even if it's not a big deal, it's shitty to have someone reneg on a deal with you. And that's especially true if you feel (right or wrongly) that it's for bullshit reasons.
