It is both a violation of HN guidelines and reason to assume that the person you are simply disagreeing with is an industry shill rather than simply someone you disagree with.
What's involved in increasing electricity infrastructure by 20%? Have you looked at the timeline of some large scale, coordinated effort public infrastructure projects?

One that's close to home for me is the Seattle area's light rail system. Voters approved a plan that includes an extension of the line from downtown Seattle to the neighborhood I live in sometime around 2016. Service is now scheduled to start in 2039, but there have already been multiple delays.
It has never been legal in the US to remove any emissions equipment on any vehicle that is to be driven on the street. Even if it is outside of the smog check window, it still can not be removed or tampered with.

Ahaha, this is amazing! Was only searching this on Goog cause I just bought it off ebay (I'm collecting retro games to play).

So weird to see this up from only 4 days ago. Can't wait to play it, I love the vibe of the game and the theme song/vibri are so cute!
I think I should make this my new personal hype cycle. Lots of (time-consuming) wonders on the way.

For pre-configured LLMs like ChatGPT one needs to know about any automatic prompt extension and pre-biases, though, as in its current form e.g. chatGPT tries to please its user and would use any mentioned analogous problem more as a hint towards their goal than as an extension, perspective or aspect. The results usually are nicely formulated expressions of the thoughts you already had in mind anyway. At least this were my experiences when providing these kind of detour descriptions and examples to guide the model around its overly straight path. It would still only pick up what I hinted at.

The solution them seemed based on wider paths and therefor seemed more consistent or complete but still wouldn't get particularly creative or new. Of course those personal chat explorations weren't scientific in any way.

Still, one could imagine this priming becoming really large and basically containing all kinds of known philosophical standard solutions, so that the system would act like a philosohical engineer that knows all the transforms. This then would match the best trained philosopher (not too shabby) but might still not go that non-linear step, use that unprobable assumption etc, all what makes new ideas new when injected at the right point.

So, I'd guess for creative reasoning you'd need to actually apply the idea to your model of the world and then judge what that would mean for that world.

I guess, despite wanting to, I can't see this being done by a text-based model (might be the reason why there's that prejudice against well-educated person without much experience). Still, I think that LLMs can be much more than complex lookup machines due to all the implicit rules and knowlede contained in the model and its text-based base and that these can be re-formulated (or made explicit despite being hidden) with such an approach. Also the wanted explanatory reasoning might be improved in its output.

Now, for a creative model, I'd say it would need stateful representation of the world that it could tinker with.

And yes, we all know that we are the current implementation of such a model, right? (And yes, there might be a faster and more random but still cheaper way.)

Edit: I'd really like to see a more theoretical (mathematical) discussion/theory on this topic.
That's true of DirectX as well though…
Geospatial data science with Julia
Geospatial Data Science with Julia presents a fresh approach to data science with geospatial data and the Julia programming language. It contains best practices for writing clean, readable and performant code in geoscientific applications involving sophisticated representations of the (sub)surface of the Earth such as unstructured meshes made of 2D and 3D geometries.
This is actually kind of an important concept given how the Java module system now works. There are lots of useful internal bits in the JDK that should really be available to outside use. But because the openjdk project wants to be able to move things around, the internals shouldn't be used directly by applications (shouldn't have ever been used, I guess).

So extracting out these bits into separate library code is important. But it also stinks because now there's a fork of this compiler code, which won't necessarily get updates or fixes from openjdk (not without a lot of manual diligence).

Anyway, it's definitely a commendable project and I hope that we see more like it.
I was pointing out I think it's a little early to draw any conclusions, even if they are positive.

On a similar insurance related note... I needed an emergency appendectomy and was sent home in pain by non-medical staff.

I had gone to an urgent care clinic with abdominal pain. They pressed on my abdomen to see where the pain was and told me to immediately go to the hospital down the street and there would be a CT scan order waiting. At the conclusion of the scan, I was told to go down the hall to the ER for emergency surgery.

At the ER check-in counter, they took my information. My insurance was a PPO for which the hospital was in-network. After 20 minutes on the phone, they told me that my employer (a 6K person public company, not a small company just figuring out benefits) hadn't paid their premium so they would not admit me. I knew the head of HR and called her directly. She said that premium payments are automated and there were no issues. To make sure, she called our contact at the insurance company, and they confirmed everything was good. I told all of this to the front desk staff, and they said there was nothing they could do. They said they would contact the insurance company again the next day and call me if anything had changed.

Looking back, I should have gone straight to another hospital. But I was delirious with pain and went home to rest because I was exhausted and freezing cold from sweating profusely. The next afternoon they called and said it had been cleared up and that I need to get there immediately as it was life threatening. I got to the ER, and they started a series of tests to determine if my appendix had burst (it hadn't!). A doctor came over to review the test results, saw that the CT scan was the previous day, and yelled at me for several minutes about how I risked my life by listening to the front desk staff. I asked if I should have forced my way back to find an empty bed and just jumped into it. He continued to yell at me until a nurse physically pulled him away. I finally had the surgery late that night (with another doctor that was not so agitated), and everything went well from there.

So, I initially left the hospital against medical advice, but at the insistence of non-medical staff. A different situation, but sometimes taking medical advice is not an easy option.

It is fun seeing the random wikis.

But I can't tell if it more or less fun to try to recognize which article inspired the post. In this case, I imagine it's the TBM post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37836889), which has a link to Brunel in the first fifth of the article.

> Traditionally, a botnet can be compromised (at least largely) of actual consumer devices unknowingly making requests on their owners' behalf.

And I do count that in.

Just because a user is the source of an attack unknowingly doesn’t make it right.

What would make it right is for there to be a more generalized remote blackholing system in place.

ie my site runs on an IP, is able to tell my ISP to reject traffic to it from $sources, and my ISP can send that request to the source ISP.

And if it makes my site unavailable to that other ISP because of CGNAT and 0 oversight, tough luck. Guess their support is getting calls so maybe they start monitoring obviously abusive egress spikes per-destination.
Harmful according to whom?
That 25% statistic is unreferenced (or else I'd have to read all the sources to find where he got that from). It's sort of difficult to imagine it being true. Because you'd also have to factor in all the people who got decompression sickness but didn't die of it, but who couldn't work anymore—you'd think that would be even higher. I have to believe that it's to be interpreted as "of the many workers who died during this project, 25% died from decompression". Maybe I'm too skeptical, but that makes more sense to me.
Much appreciated in any event. I'm always happy to learn of books to read.

Nearly every comment is missing his take given the title here.

He's not saying everything should be open source.

He's saying that the right to have an open source version of anything is what we should be absolutists about.

So not that every OS, or encryption, or AI model should be open - but that people should fight and stand up for the right to have access to open OSes, encryption, or AI models if produced.

Windows can exist, but shouldn't be able to prevent Linux from existing basically.

That's the absolutism. He hasn't suddenly turned into Stallman.
I don’t think it will ultimately help a diabetic. More worrisome then loss of feeling is loss of circulation. With High blood sugars you’re essentially get sugar crystals that build up on the capillary walls, which prevent blood circulation. Even if you cure Neuropathy will still have the issue of poor circulation.
> Users would still be writing OpenAPI specs/JSON Schema by hand, an incredibly annoying and tedious process (unless using a nicer DSL)

My big foot gun for this is that you can manually write jsonschema that doesn't have a nicely serializable java representation, making it hard to use cross-language, and you don't find out that that's the case until you try

"A company cannot disrupt itself" - Clayton Christensen

Toyota has mastered precision replicable production of internal combustion engines and related components.

This has been Toyota's perpetual money tree. I'm sure the reward systems inside Toyota management favor those who improve it and protect it.

I'm sure at first they laughed at these pipsqueak EV guys with software backgrounds.

Toyota engineers who propose and work on alternative fuels, like ammonia, are probably not laughed out of the room - which is also full of other career internal combustion engineers.

Your estimate is "about $8" but 7.32 + 0.70 is 8.02, which you can't pay for with $8.

Your example is actually a great illustration of why expecting people to calculate taxes in their head doesn't work. If you are trying to buy a product priced at $7.32, you can't easily tell whether $8 is enough. No one should have to multiply 9.25 by 7.32 in their head to know whether they can buy something.

Enough with this insanity. If the price is $8, then $8 should be enough!
Disney has always been on the cutting edge of technology. They priced the first feature length animated film. Created the "multi-plan camera" to create depth, they partnered with and later acquired Pixar who pioneered computer animation.

How Well Do LLMs Speak Turtle?
You are right that the process involves predicting words from training data. But you can still make training data focused on passing these tests. Adding millions of test questions to all of these to optimize for answering test questions is perfectly doable when you have the resources OpenAI has.

A strong hint to what they focused on in their training process is what metrics they used in their marketing of the model. You should always bet on models being optimized to perform on whatever metrics they themselves give you when they market the model. Look at the gpt-4 announcement, what metrics did they market? So what metrics should we expect they optimized the model for?

Exam results are the first metric they mentions, so exams was probably one of their top priorities when they trained gpt-4.

> you should never use it if you care about your data

Eh, warts abound all over technology and ubiquity is worth a lot.

But because data is important, everybody who does use JSON should make sure they serialize their data in a way the format won’t break. I’ve heard it can be done.
It's still a stronger key than virtually any password would be, and is (to my understanding) resistant to data breaches

> Is there a term for the embarrassingly large cohort of folks hellbent on forcing the state into everyone's personal lives to sand down every sharp corner?

To a certain class of people (ie, people who have been sold on the hype of AI as the solution to all problems), AI is a magical technology. It follows that the solutions to its problems are therefore also magical. Even though if you substituted in any other media it would be clear how utterly goofy it sounded—“the government needs to provide urgent regulation to ensure that watercooler conversations do not provide incorrect or damaging information…”
The point is the $0.02 doesn't matter.

I think because it was close enough that Disney probably was already working on it before the book came out and the book came out without (presumably) knowing about what Disney was working on.

Then you have two pop culture references to an animatronic Lincoln being released within two years of each other.

That is odd.

I would agree with you if the book had been out longer before Disney immitated it.

Now they release a modified version of Wine and hope that everyone starts using it.
My wife and I spent a few years practicing Irish. Enough we could have small talk in it and when we traveled to Ireland we could read all the signs and understand when people spoke it.

I look at welsh and still go wtf lol

I find Irish easier when you put on the accent tbh. Makes much more sense when you read / speak it like that
> But not all setups support this. Some only allow one. Obvious issues abound.

I'd go as far as to say "most setups don't support this. Most only allow one".

The services I've seen so far that support multiple passkeys are in the minority.
It's more like they tried a few times and realized they have no way to sell a game given the absurd amounts of piracy. 2010 (aroind the time of Infinity Blade) to 2013 was the golden age of premium games. By 2015 almost every game pulled out or went the f2p route.

This wasn't some 2 year flash in the pan like Stadia, I could still name a dozen premium games from this time I greatly enjoyed. But if Zenonia 2 had 70% piracy rates and the ftp Zenonia 3 (or maybe 4) made more money in a day than Zenonia 1+2 combined, what you going to do?

(note these figures are made up, I don't know the Zenonia piracy rates nor sales. But 70% is the average Android game piracy rate in 2015).
This is just bad and uninformed advice.

Adding a passkey to an account is like adding a yubikey to an account (experience wise).
You can (typically) add multiple keys to your account.

It's also not all or nothing.
You can (in every service I've setup) still have a password and an even a TOTP.
> It loads (fast).

It's painfully slow. Probably depends on your connection and device, but I install libredirect on my phone purely to avoid twitter load times.
I have no idea where your calculator came from.

In neither case did I introduce one.

And since the calculator itself has already a general understanding, it would seem completely counter productive to start training a computer or child by first giving them a machine that has already solved the problem.

Also, for what it’s worth, I am speaking from many years experience not just training models but creating the algorithms that train them.
Very nice, thank you for taking this on! A few questions; the implication here is that ecj does not export the Java compiler api, is that correct? How do j2ee components that require compilation (jsp )handle the “—add-open” requirement?
> Trust me when I say that you don't want the ISP's to inspect web traffic.

They do already. DPI on port 53 for DNS blocks or SNI inspection are common place. So are IP blocks.

> If you want traffic, you need to be equipped to handle traffic. You are the one with the internet facing infrastructure.

Slightly misleading wording here. More accurately your point is: « you want to run a website? Better have the infra to support traffic spikes comparable to that of a tech giant ».
400M rps would cost an unfathomable amount of money to be able to handle even just while dropping all packets.

> And maybe Facebook and Google are big enough to push around the ISP's, but they are the only ones. Nobody will bat an eyelash if 15,000 Comcast users in Phoenix AZ can access your hokey-pokey website.

Obviously yes. Too bad it’s better business for everyone to say nothing and just recommend you use their product.
I agree with this.

I have found users really like their signup process to be the same as what they have come to expect, even if there is a better way.
> The consumer spends more overall because they are coaxed into buying the luxuries that they wouldn’t have cared much about otherwise.

If only things were so black and white as suggested by your rhetoric.

A consumer who buys the same things as they were buying before, just at cheaper prices, is better off, even by your criteria. Nobody holds a gun to people's heads and forces them to buy "unnecessary luxuries".

A consumer who chooses to spend additional money on what you are pleased to call "unnecessary luxuries" that they could not buy at all before, because nobody was selling them, is also better off--not by your gerrymandered criterion, but by the standard criterion of economists, from those "60 year old textbooks" to today: they have options they didn't have before, and they are choosing to exercise those options. That is what "wealth" is--people having more choices.

> Supermarkets are not a good example if you’re trying to champion capitalism!

I said "free market", not capitalism. They're not the same thing. Large supermarket chains happen to be an example of both, but not all examples work out that way.

In fact, even the large supermarket chain example is not completely a free market example, because the government messes with food prices by subsidizing particular food crops in order to favor large agribusinesses over small farmers. To the extent that helped to enable large supermarket chains to undercut local grocery stores, that is an illustration of capitalism being against free markets.
Isambard Kingdom Brunel in modern Britain probably wouldn't bother with civil engineering; planning permission for his projects would get tied up in 10-15 year legal battles against NIMBYs.

The next 10? I don't know, I can't predict the future. And finding out 10 years from now he didn't beat the market for 30 years, is half a lifetime of investing (most of your adult life). Not like you can go back and fix that.

It's 20 years of failing to beat a simple "invest in indexes and forget it". So basically an adult who followed index investing for the last 20 years can say "I have higher returns than Buffet".
Linux has potential that Mac does not - case in point, Steam Deck.

Agreed, per my comment the 1:1 meeting with your representative works well too. I don't know how common it is but I have found my city council member always willing to sit down for 5 - 20 minutes to hear what I have to say. Want to emphasize again though about doing a bit of research at the library about just what ordinances are involved and how to identify them for law enforcement to use. This helps your rep appear to be smart and well informed when they go to the police chief or city manager to ask them to "can you do something about this?" kind of request.

That saves waiting for your turn at the podium in the meeting and it avoids the wingnuts labeling you as the person "out to get them." Both are good things IMHO.
You have to be within several layers of bubbles to not see how small a percent of the general population are going to even understand any of this BS.

Things being this complicated makes them a non-starter. A nerd vanity project.

And this isn’t a knock on the “intelligence” of the general population. They quite rightfully won’t want to spend their limited time on God’s earth learning about all this.
