That's awesome, because the name 'bZ4X' gives me a migraine.
> 1,500+ employees

They used to have 1,500, before they laid off 1,000 of them.
> When a system sees that A is B, yet cannot infer that B is A

So the issue is that they cannot infer that general rule due to a fundamental limitation of the transformer LLM architecture, not just a training data issue? I skimmed the paper and it seems to be the case.
I would rather create a quick sqllite file. Create some tables with dbeaver and create a csv processor to write to the sqllite file. Max 1 hour.
Plus, VHS players are better for holding sandwiches.
Many of the "poorer" states as some define them, actually supply a fair bit of the food for those "richer" states and beyond.

It's not a simple task to figure out which states would survive as independent countries, if for no other reason than there would be, ah, "territorial disputes."

Seeing openai rank next to llama is laughable.
I like having errors as values, as is the case in rust, and haskell, and idiomatic scala.

What i don't like is where approximately 3/4 of the significant lines of code are endless repetitions of:

if err {
return nil, err
}

Rust has ?, haskell has do notation, scala has for. All of them have higher order functions for operating on the result. But go is not only more verbose, it is more error prone, since it is easy to forget to check an error, or use the other returned value before checking the error.
Kanopy is great if you have a library card and like TCM/Criterion content.
ThePirateBay uses OVPN. $60/yr. Coupons can lower that a bit.

They've been solid and have exits all over the world.

> They made the decision, if true, to use up every cent clinging on trying to find an exit or more runway.

Indeed.

"We hoped this day would never come. We spent over 4 months exhausting all viable strategic options for the business."
There's hardly any old content on Netflix, at least in my region.
It also enforces the lack of weird anti patterns like some functions in go that will return a significant value in the first return value while also returning non nil in the error, with a snarky comment in the docs about why this actually makes sense in this case.
We hit up the local library and Goodwill. Streaming dollars get a lot of movies that way, and reduced ads.

But having kids can totally justify a Disney+ subscription.
Does the employee have an obligation to the company to work forever?

No.
Well, Netflix was licensing a lot of the content that HBO and Disney were making. Of course more content is now being made but between covid and the writers strike as indicated in the article, there certainly isn't 4X as much content being made. Apple is making content that definitely wouldnt have existed but again, as budgets get constrained as these services seek profitability there really isn't an explosion of new content. I am only a casual consumer of media, so not an expert.
People who think that a rich investor who puts up some seed money to start a new venture should chase a bad investment with more of their personal funds to make sure employees are taken care of after the business fails (even though they paid into unemployment insurance, which already does that)...and they believe this so strongly that they would never work for any company that investor is associated with, regardless of the opportunity, are who I'm talking about.

These are the same types of people who think tech workers are treated so poorly that they need to unionize and should be free to spend their work time doing political things that have no contribution to the company bottom line.

It has nothing to do with negotiating the best deal for yourself. Severance is voluntary and is rarely negotiated up front. Especially at the level of employment for the 99% we're talking about where the company going out of business really matters -- negotiating severance up front is like negotiating a prenup. It's requires leverage and people in these income brackets don't have it.
I'm not sure US marines need a "good reason" to strap a rocket launcher onto a robot dog, other than "because it's awesome."
Why is there a US military base in Syria?
So it's legal for me to hack into European datacenters, as long as I live and work elsewhere? I'm pretty sure interpol would still track me down and try to extradite, and I'm pretty sure extradition would succeed unless I'm in Russia or the Caymans or something.
Just to clarify your point about paying out employees... in what sense do you mean that? Some quick googling says that when a company goes into Chapter 7, employees become creditors for their unpaid wages, which means that they are at least in the same boat as other creditors (although it seems like they might sometimes be prioritized).
People say that, but it's not really true.

Employees do much more than they are contractually obligated to.

There's a reason why "work to rule", meticulously doing exactly and only what one is required to, is functionally a strike. Same with why there was all the uproar over "quiet quitting", where a worker only did their minimum job duties. So this is as acceptable as "quiet quitting" is.

In an industry where it's normal to do more than the bare minimum legally required, someone who does no more than the minimum required is blackballing themselves. These c-levels will never start a successful company again.
And there's a reason your country probably has very few successful businesses.
However, I doubt just because there are 4x streaming platforms there are suddenly 4x studios capable of producing even a low budget show. Knowing nothing of media production, but I assume there are a large number of technical roles which are advisable if trying to produce mainstream content.
How can you justify GPT4 rank top 3 in transparency. It just doesn't make sense.
My experience using a non Tesla EV in rural places in Europe is far far better than in the US.

Charging station availability is a solved issues, now they are at the payment consolidation and subscription. ( that part is still the Wild West, but it exists )

I live in LA, ( not L.A ) I’ve seen charging station cropping up only this years in non-metro area.

Look at a deployment map in rural Spain or France.
Note that large guns have more recoil than modern shoulder fired rockets. AT4 recoil is lower than e.g. a dmr rifle
I thought I double-posted, but you beat me by 1 minute! Verbatim!
That 82k figure includes one income households. I want you to exclude all single income households because I am only talking about dual income households.

I'm not misunderstanding it, you're just continually citing an irrelevant data point comment after comment. This whole time, I have been talking about dual income households. You can tell me median household income figures until youre blue in the face; I am only talking about dual income household figures. They aren't the same thing.

Median household income includes dual income but also single income households. I only want to consider dual income households, because that's who I said can reasonably meet the $114k figure.
I see their point if "Just like Hacker News" is interpreted as referring to the title (replace Clearview). It’s does seem like it’s suppressing an undesired opinion even if it’s probably just because it was unsubstantive.

(I personally disagree with the sentiment anyway; I suspect one could have their comments deleted if they asked the right people, especially if said comments contain personal information. hn@ycombinator.com if I’m not mistaken.)
Ages ago, I was a Night Counselor at a school for boys --- I made it a point to attend the weekly staff meetings.

Once, there was a not particularly bright young man who had been at the school for almost a year, which was longer than most students and it was suggested that he simply be removed from the program on the basis that he hadn't made much progress recently, and wasn't likely to, to which one of the other counselors commented, "He's only going to be a janitor anyway." (referring to his lack of intellect) and another rejoined, "Yeah, one who pilfers stuff when no one is looking." --- my response was that if we kept him in the program and pushed him to graduate we would get an honest janitor who wouldn't steal and that there was dignity and worth in that. The lead counselor agreed, he stayed, and a couple of months later he was graduated.

A couple of years later, I met him in a nearby town --- he was attending a trade school and about to graduate.

When I was much younger than he was, I worked each summer baling hay --- I was 104 pounds when I enlisted in the Air Force, and I was quite a bit less than that at 14--16 --- but I picked up 40--75 lb. hay bales and put them on a truck until the field was empty.

As regards compensation at Amazon --- when I first started, folks got stock, but then that was negotiated away for more immediate compensation, so I don't understand why folks complain about not sharing in Amazon's valuation.

The fundamental problem is that there is a finite amount of work which needs to be done each day so as to make it possible that each person has food and electric and so forth, as well as whatever else they might want --- how is that work to be apportioned out?
Libraries are also excellent resources for this kind of thing. Also, they have great audio book players for kids. My son is currently listening to the Hobbit, and my daughter to Charlotte’s Web.
I have a bigger struggle with trying to tell them "Someone in a special building far away can make up a rule that says I'm not allowed to arrange the bits in one section on my computer in the same order as the bits on somebody else's computer because they did it first. If enough special people agree, they can give themselves permission to come steal my money or put me in timeout in a cage for a long time."

But then it always is hard to explain things when I don't understand them myself.
In [1], it'd be hard for a trustee to argue that making severance payments to rank and file employees is not something "made in the ordinary course of business" (which is a statutory defense against clawback).

Your reference in [2] refers to an executive, an "insider", which is exactly what I said - that there is precedent against allowing such payments to insiders (hence the one-year clawback window).

I still can't find any cases where unsecured creditors have successfully injuncted a bankrupt company from making severance payments to non-executive employees.

> With Toys ‘R’ Us, the creditors voluntarily provided the severance [4].

The creditors did no such thing. From your source, emphasis mine:

> Two of the private equity firms that used to own the defunct toy store have allocated $20 million to a severance fund that will be distributed in the coming months."

The mediators who were handling part of the bankruptcy proceedings agreed to administrate the disbursement of funds.
Also in the charging station funding.
No we bought a property surrounded by national forest and grow/raise our own food, raise horses, etc.
Thank you, India.

Please remember that you (Indians) judge Americans as a group by the Americans you speak with.

The rest of the world judges India by the Indians we speak with. That is 99% scammers, telemarketers, and tech support people. They do not always reflect well on your nation.

If you made it illegal to lie to foreigners over the phone and enforced it, you would win the hearts and minds of most people who currently dislike your scammers and telemarketers.
For flagrant breaches, wonder if there's some "criminal" level charge that could be brought personally against their leadership?

Therefore potentially enabling extradition?
Nothing will stop Toyota from pursuing every possible and maybe some impossible alternatives to EV's.

It's been so weird to watch a company that did great with hybrids be so weirdly stubborn with fully electric cars.
> Never heard of this company.

Well that puts you in a perfect position to value it.
Yes I feel like OpenBSD can be a great system for this use case, but the prior owner of this system had neglected it. Now it's still on 5.6 and who knows how much cruft has built up.

It's currently acting as a bridge system that translates 5010 X12s to 4010 and vice versa. Strangely enough the whole stack in Golang which I don't believe considers OpenBSD to be a supported platform?
This what I use the PBS Kids apps for. Free repetitive content without any kind of monetization or need for me to curate.
Well, if you picked cheapest bidder that copy-pasted it into google translate, maybe.

Actual translator doing a job would look at the context and probably figure out that something's not right, but AI have no such double takes, if it for example because of learning material it will link euphemism to actual meaning of the word
This is why I mentioned keeping a smaller, more focused feature set in several of my comments. Polish is much more attainable when features aren't being added as frequently.

That has to come from the top of the project's management though, since they're ultimately the ones responsible for policy and enforcement.

My approach would be as I mentioned elsewhere: allow those wanting to contribute new features to do so, but make it clear that these features will be present in prerelease builds only until their quality meets the project's standards.
Or worse. Some library developer decided that "panic()" was the way to go rather than:

return nil, err

I'm fine with error values or Pythonesque exceptions, just not both combined.

So much of my code is typically:

result, err := someFunc()
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}

Most error conditions are basically unrecoverable anyway.
They won’t know it’s stealing unless you tell them. As far as they’re concerned it’s just another app on the magic box that makes shows play.
You would want to have access to a larger display, to show larger images to your older eyes. Unless your euphamism 'must be getting old' is not actually meaning you're old / have eye strain.

I'm aging, and my eyes are starting to get bleh, and having a 6.2" screen on a folding phone which can fold down to a 3.1" and easily be carried around. I am pleasantly surprised it's a handy thing.

The negative question .. "would you not want" ... tell me more about that? I don't understand the question.
I honestly can never understand people who say there is not enough good content on streamers. Every single service I have subscribed to has way more content that I want to watch than time I have to watch it. I watch maybe an hour a night, and I have a huge backlog of shows I’d like to watch that I slowly work through. Even my current list will take me years, and I have new shows to add all the time.

Are these people who complain about not enough content watching 10 hours a day? Or just have very narrow desires about what they want to watch?
Scaling LLama2-70B with Multiple Nvidia/AMD GPU
Machine Learning Compilation (MLC) now supports compiling LLMs to multiple GPUs.

For Llama2-70B, it runs 4-bit quantized Llama2-70B at:

- 34.5 tok/sec on two NVIDIA RTX 4090 at $3k

- 29.9 tok/sec on two AMD Radeon 7900XTX at $2k

- Also it is scales well with 8 A10G/A100 GPUs in our experiment.

Probably a copy and paste from docs for installing rust toolchain

https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install

Sure it’s sketchy, but if you are doing your DD. You are inspecting the script itself.

The script itself (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Exein-io/pulsar/main/pulsa...) doesn’t appear to do anything out of the ordinary. It downloads a few helper scripts to temp directory and installs to /usr/bin.

Haven’t looked at the pulsar code yet since on mobile.

If you find anything abnormal then yea I wouldn’t install it either. Especially if it needs escalated privileges.
They are planning on moving more into the space.

I get the sense this was about the China topic though, and that the AI mention is mostly in the story to get clicks.
Yup, AI doesn't know what euphemism means. If the word is used in such context as replacement of other 'worse' word (which is pretty common to avoid word filters, like people using "voldemort virus" for COVID to not get flagged by youtube and buried in algorithm, for recent example)
right, so you do put it on the balance sheet. you just need to show you are actually creating a product.
If they run out of money, for sure.

Do you want to foot the bill?
I believe that's the case too.

However speaking with my manager I think the long term plan is to dump it for RHEL - too bad because I'd like it on my resume :-) Not every day you can play with OpenBSD in prod - usually it's just on my oddball computers.
The EU is free to fine Clearview though, and surprisingly developed countries do tend to recognize judgements from other developed countries. It's a few extra steps to get the fine registered in the US court system, but it will eventually happen. If you're imagining that Clearview is somehow exempt from EU fines just because they don't have assets or employees there- no. Judgements have been ported internationally for decades now
Your source is talking about unpaid wages (legally mandatory), but severance is additional (legally optional) payments the company chooses to make to support former employees.
Everything's a startup until its business model is self-sustaining/provable.

A lot of even large companies never leave the startup phase.
Photopea is not open source. I think it's still made by just one person, but its ads bring in a lot of money.
Is anyone here paying for any of the smaller indie streaming services? And feeling like that's a better value? If I didn't have kids I would skip Netflix, Disney and HBO. Quality has really taken a dive.
I still find myself typing in xxx.lanl.gov It used to redirect but doesn't anymore :(
Thank you for this, it was a great laugh.
We normally talk about the risk burden of founders (we're all either founders or will be soon, right?).

We don't often talk about how everyone involved in a business takes on risk. This is a great example of all the employees risking being cut off from funds and health care.

Those employees won't be lionized for "learning from their mistakes" when they get a new (better paying?) job, will they?

Those employees also didn't get a say in how the company was run despite the fact that they were taking a serious risk, too. Probably a more serious risk than a founder, given that most founders are wealthy or backed by wealth.

Convoy closing sucks. But it does not suck at all as an illustration of the problems in startup culture . . .
What are the scenarios that you can Alhamdulillah instead of "Allah u Akbar" that is being used today by Muslims?

I'm asking as a Muslim who never do that and have never heard anything like this claim. So it would be interested to know if you have different experience.

It is obvious when to say both, but many people here are considering themselves experts on Islam don't even know the basics.
Don’t you need C++11?
Okay, sue them.
It’s open source. I’ll inspect the source myself. Cross check against auditor findings. Build from source
Have you seen anything suggesting the employees are not getting their final paychecks? All I've seen is them not getting severance.
You could always buy them from a thrift store for $1-2 or borrow them from the library, and rip them to a jellyfin server. My kids don't know Disney exists yet and I don't see that changing for a few more years, but if they did, they'd be watching Homeward Bound or something.
> I'm pretty sure interpol would still track me down and try to extradite

Correct. I mentioned that in the last sentence.

> So it's legal for me to hack into European datacenters

This is where it gets murky. Clarview AI is scraping data uploaded to US based websites, and agreeing to terms that allow for the data to be redistributed. In your example there is a direct nexus to the EU.
One of my flatmates was watching GoT on max volume, one or more episodes every night. I got pretty darn tired of the intro jingle blasting every damn night at like 3am.

I can’t even imagine how crazy it wouldve driven me if it was the same movie every night instead. Different episodes of the same show was bad enough. I probably would have moved out.
On every service we have ever subscribed I’d say we’ve streamed all that we want to stream within about six months at most. After that there needs to be basically a constant stream of new (good) content or it does not feel worth it.
He was very good about letting the people in his off site interviews explain their side, regardless of viewpoint. He was terrible about it in his in studio segments unless they were telling some harrowing story where he would obviously look like an ass for making a quip in the middle of it
A couple, or a few? Unless they are watching the same two shows over and over for an entire year, that's quickly gonna cost more than $100.
I hope he goes into directly producing content.

I'd happily subscribe to an unfiltered Jon Stewart's coverage of current events, and I can't imagine I'm the only one.

No advertisers, no parent conglomerate.
Won't be long now before we're reading a post about a robot dog with a suicide vest taking out a target softer than an armored vehicle.

The article neglects to mention that shipping is $1000, according to the Unitree website.
Because trucking is an enormous industry and $3.8b is a tiny slice. Sure, it's a tough nut to crack, but if someone does crack it they can be worth a lot more than that.
From the US Government USCIS Form I-693 Instructions:

The civil surgeon is required to perform specific tests for tuberculosis, syphilis, and gonorrhea. The medical examination also requires the civil surgeon to evaluate for other sexually transmitted diseases and Hansen’s disease (leprosy).

Furthermore it suggests that physical and mental disorders may be grounds for disqualification. Finally, drug addiction and substance abuse generally must be disclosed.

correlation, causation, etc
A bizarre attitude that sadly will never go away.

You're paid what you're known to be worth. All this stuff is about abdicating responsibility because it feels warm and fuzzy to be a victim, say it's out of your control, and those badies are responsible for your predicament.

The solution to people having low wages isn't them complaining about it, it's specialising into something with more demand or less supply, and getting better at personal marketing. But that's hard work, so they'd rather pour a bottle of whine.

Schools should do a way better job of facilitating this, but again, that's not ultimately their responsibility, but the responsibility of the parents to make sure they do.
I wonder if any of these companies will have retrofit kits
Yes, the EU can assess a fine, but they will need to find some grounding in the US legal system for a court to accept it.

If a foreign country could simply register and collect judgements against Americans unrestricted, someone would have found a small island country by now to file daily million dollar judgements against Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos.
I put "throwing the cruft away" in the same sentence EXPLICITLY to address that I am not just talking about refactoring.

Learn to read before throwing dictionary definitions at people

Providing method now-provided by standard libs is by definition unnecessary cruft. Nobody wants that in their codebase. They warned people for 2 years.

But apparently basic competence is too hard requirement in software ecosystems.
