The arguments against this seem to reduce to a kind of, "but they're defending bad ideas, and bad ideas must be destroyed along with the people who advocate them." I think we're practically into zombie movie territory.

The arguments against free speech aren't really arguments based on any related principle or reason at all, because they are mainly just militating against people, and not engaging with ideas. They're not discourse. The alternative to discourse is violence, and attempts to suppress discourse tacitly advocate that violence.

The principled people who signed this delcaration have had the patience of saints so far, perhaps because they understand what the consequences are when it fails. I don't think there is anyone to convince or persuade anymore. Find each other, connect, and just cut out anyone who repeats the recieved narratives. Save yourselves, there's nothing you can do for them.
Not really related to the article but something I've been wondering...

In recent years the housing market has been so competitive that escalation clauses are often written into offers. They typically include a base offer of $X and then an agreement to escalate that value by increments (maybe $1-5k at a time) up to some cap. All the offers are collected by a certain date and then an auction is run behind the scenes by the realtors involved.

What's to stop a seller from having one of their friends enter into one of these escalations? Submit a non-serious offer with a high escalation and include a minimal deposit which would be forfeited if that fake offer happens to win but otherwise hope it comes in 2nd to push everyone else's escalation up.

> Show HN: Phind Model beats GPT-4 at coding

Does it? I don't see any evidence of this strong claim in your post, and I think it's quite deceptive how the only link is to a benchmark of open source models (which doesn't include GPT-4). I've tried Phind a few times in the past when it made equally strong claims and been somewhat unimpressed. (To be fair, comparing anything to GPT-4 is tough!) I think it would strengthen your position significantly to simply say that you're the best of all open-source models.

To be honest though I've been completely ruined by https://cursor.sh/; copying and pasting results back and forth from a web UI to my IDE is so painfully slow when you do it tens or hundreds of times that I don't think I would be able to go back. I'd be happy to try out a Phind extension that has similar UI/UX if you ever make one.
Well that escalated quickly.

Are you also taking photos for blackmail purposes? That'd very possibly shut the whole thing down.
I should point that OSM does include Tyburn path (which seems to be a combination of modern day sewers and original paths, and is missing 2 of 4 ends), but you have to know where to look, and how to look for it in such a busy area. What's more important, OSM approach is different: objects are presented as they are, and can't collect arbitrary comments, discussions, photos and other data (apart from regular edit descriptions). It is essentially a tool to make a static snapshot of current state of certain types of objects, which is fine for a map, but does not help people interested in local history.

It seems strange to me that something so useful and customary is virtually inconceivable in the “developed world”.
They build private enterprise AI solutions for big bucks and use their free models as advertisement of their ability. StableDiffusion is marketing.
I don't disagree at all. I like the idea of homes being depreciating assets. America just doesn't subscribe to that and so paying a massive up front cost, there is some expectation no one is going to actively try to destroy your property value.
Using pure functions as views (with Htmx and alpine.js)
Because one of the biggest ways that child abuse is detected and abated is by interaction between students and children. Isolating children in insular communities is a really great way to abuse them and hide the evidence of it.

Regular interaction with non-custodial adults provides more opportunities for child abuse to be uncovered and stopped. You can go on youtube and hear myriad testimonials from former homeschooled kids that were abused for years on end. And nobody knew. Nobody even had a chance to know.
Nothing over 1.5%.

At the time the metre was defined in the late 1700s, it was already known that g is not a constant and varies from place to place, which is why they did not choose that proposal and picked the geodetic proposal instead.

That entirely depends on how accurately the lecturer can throw a tiny object. IIRC some of our lecturers preferred board rubbers to the chalk itself.
Money is the wrong excuse to do your own thing. Ideally you have something you really enjoy doing or something that fascinates you endlessly then find an angle to do it for a living. It doesn't really matter if you succeed. If your thing is [say] fitness and you get to fool around in your own gym for a few years you've done well. You wanted to DJ and started your own club. You enjoy bowling and got to own your own bowling alley - for a while. Go do those things you wanted to do when you had all that money?
The direct prompt comparison isn't quite fair due to the instruction tuning on GPT-3.5 and 4. It'd be interesting to see examples with prompts that would work better for the raw language models.
Google owns YouTube and Chrome. They can do whatever they want with any of them.
yes, small clarification: the 1TB per dump refers to the head+middle partition of the dataset and includes the text documents and the quality signals. There is another ~700GB for the minhash signatures and 1-1.5TB for the documents in the tail split.
YouTube was the first to support it. They even went to war with Roku over it and Roku killed the YouTube TV app in retaliation to YouTube's mandate that all next-gen devices support AV1, so YouTube went ahead and embedded it inside the regular YouTube app.

Roku's latest devices to support AV1, so I guess either the price came down, they struck a deal, or Roku just lost to the market pressure after Netflix pushed for AV1 as well.
Well it's frustrating that basically no matter how close you buy a device to launch it's almost immediately invalidated. I got an M2 max 3 months ago and it's already last gen...
I heard about N26 and Monese, but I don't know about their credibility.
Ah, that's fair, and faster than any of the LMDeploy stats for batch size 1; nice work!

Using an H100 for inference, especially without batching, sounds awfully expensive. Is cost much of a concern for you right now?
> I need a typescript function which takes in an object with an id string property and a string message property, and also takes an array of search strings, and returns a mapping of search strings to matching message ids

Your prompt is wrong. You want a function that takes an array of id/message objects, not an object.

It's quite impressive that GPT is just able to correct for that. As a human, I would first ask what you actually mean, because your prompt appears to be unclear.
I just can't get my head around this argument of 'scales to zero'.

If you have one or more professional developers working on a project how can you be bothered about an extra $20-$200/month when you know you'll also be spending a couple of engineering hours (worth more than $200) on migrating later?
You’re saying that based on what? All the code and assets are AI.

This assumes a level of institutional control that is nearly impossible (even now). Even if hardware is prohibitively expensive now, I can't imagine training compute will remain that way for long.

At 18,000 feet altitude on the Thorong La Pass in the Nepali Himalayas in 1984, there were more stars than darkness in between them.
sadly the answer is honor code.

There are also a lot of shenanigans realtors could be pulling.

Example:
Few years ago, we wanted to buy a house, we made a bid for 2.6, the realtor said they would not accept anything less than 2.8 as this was their competing offer. We said no, the house sold for 2.4. I suspected the realtor might have been double dipping, or bluffing, i don't know. But what I do know is they did not present the offer to the seller.

(numbers are not exactly precise, but directionally and somewhat magnitude wise, it should be similar).

Censor their racism. Nothing more needs to be done unless that's not enough to prevent them from poisoning the discourse (ie they start attacking people).
We live more on the preventive side where we tap into the real-time data flow before it reaches logs or data stores. Therefore, enabling you to be preventive vs reactive.
I don't think it's massive. In fact, since it's roughly equivalent to working memory, I suspect it's on the order of 100 tokens at most.

It's just that, unlike these AIs, we're capable of online learning.
Ah, right. Have to click on the combined cycle options to see that.
I'd love some kind of quick method to move my entire second screen, primary keyboard, and mouse, with one keybind to my Mac instead of my Windows machine and vice versa. I don't need multiplexing, I'd even be OK with keeping pointer as-is. But two keyboards on my desk, it is too much. One solution I've found is USB2BT with different Bluetooth profiles. A KVM could also work, but I require 4k HDMI and USB. The KVMs I've found are too expensive for my liking.

Also, with practice of keybinds in screen/tmux/zellij you can achieve something which approaches what is written in this article. With a good DE, you can even run two applications together on the same screen, or on two screens, or more.

And I knew people who were running three monitors, keyboards, and mice on one computer back in the end of 90s, using XFree86. I used to run two fullscreen X servers myself on the same monitor, one for gaming. If it would crash, and least my whole DE wouldn't die with it. Usually. If it was a kernel crash I was SOL.
At least the toilet:plumbing interface is standardized though!!
It really depends.

If it's a peer in a more professional setting, simply calling them out generally makes you less a target, especially if calling out their behaviour is done in a group setting. It comes down to the old "stand up for yourself" rule we've all heard. Also, calm confidence tends to work with adults too.

If the bullying is coming from above, time to move on. I have zero patience for it, and there's likely no stopping them.

Also, I'm not suggesting you take them outside, although I know a couple guys who've been through fights between coworkers in their workplaces. Grown men (in their 30s) sure can take a long time to grow.

> makes me seriously question why developers need macbook pro's

For work I am developing a massive JVM monolith server application and even the M1 Pro 16" takes minutes for it just to start up. Compilation is also slow with millions of lines of code. I have SQL Server running on an x86 Linux VM with Rosetta in Docker. Need all the CPU I can get. The Macbook Air simply has less CPU performance and is thermally throttled. It would waste too much of my time.

For my personal hobby C++ coding, the Macbook Air 8GB would be enough.
Good for them. On the list pointless middlemen, they’re definitely at the top.

One of the dumbest parts of the real estate commission scam is purporting the lie that “the seller pays the commission”. Anyone with half a brain knows that if money is coming out of a transaction, it’s a transaction cost being eventually passed onto the buyer.
US fees seem very high; Australia & New Zealand have a selling agent fee in the 2-3% range (+ variable vendor paid advertising on top) and buyers agents are uncommon so not a fee most pay at all.

I think the strongest argument against this is that addressing most of the substantive concerns requires compelling speech.

Separately, I think we should get big tech out of the business of acting as the public commons, but I don't think forcing them to apply promotion and editorial decisions without regard for the content itself is a good idea. We could force them to stop doing all promoting and editing, which would kill the platforms (good! I'm OK with that!) but that doesn't seem to be what these folks want. They already have that in the form of email, and they don't seem to think it's sufficient.
Home prices jump for seventh straight month in August
Without the expensive gear, the iPhone looks considerably downgraded compared to better source equipment. I had a Canon 5DII the day it was released and within a week some friends and I had a music video entered into a festival, and within a year, two short films, all done without any extra lighting or equipment - including gimbals. The source camera and lenses were good enough - and the look was amazing compared to camcorders - to achieve this.

Forgetting "shoots" and professional lighting, the iPhone isn't going to have the massive range of other equipment, and when you're spending literally thousands of pounds on studio time, lighting hire, operator costs, etc etc, are you really going to pick up and shoot on an iPhone when you've got a Black Magic or Sony or Canon at hand? Unless you're being paid by Apple?

I get that it's viable but there really is a lot of road between viable and superlative.
Another generalization - tech hasn't improved the quality of our lives since before Facebook. Today tech is just the means for the masses to entertain themselves by moving around the deck chairs on the Titanic while our civilization sinks, and allows a handful of people to make billions of dollars by providing that entertainment.

But hey, at least this guy has a cool office with coffee and snacks! That'll keep us afloat!

Um, no. Just censor them. Changing minds is great, but it's not the obligation of marginalized people to change every hateful mind they encounter.

Human memory, in my limited understanding, doesn’t have the bifurcation of weights and context that LLMs do. It’s all a bit blurrier than that.

Something interesting that I heard from people trying to memorize things better is that memory “storage space” limits for people are essentially irrelevant. We’re limited by our learning and forgetting speeds. There’s no evidence of brains getting “full”.

Think of it like a giant warehouse of plants, with one employee. He can accept shipments (learning). He can take care of plants (remembering). Too long without care and they die (forgetting). The warehouse is big enough that it is not a limiting factor in how many plants he can keep alive. If it was 10x bigger it wouldn’t make a bit of difference.
>ou could literally make all this in probably 24 hours and not spend any time mucking around with prompts.

I couldn’t make that art in 24 days.

The big thing about the state of current AI isn’t that it does a bunch of things, it’s that it drastically increases the number of people who can do things.

That is, I could not make this game in a day before AI. With it, maybe I could. I am far from unique.
I'm not sure how this reduces the barrier to game developement. There are already lots of free assets and game engines designed for making arcade games that are a lot easier then say Unity or Unreal. Like https://arcade.makecode.com/ or https://microstudio.dev/ or https://scratch.mit.edu/.
And if you don't want to make arcade games there are other tools like RPG Maker, RenPy, GDevelop, and many more each of which are much easier to use then this AI pipeline (not to say it isn't impressive you can do this with AI though) and will lead to better outcomes of actually understanding game development.
My siblings and I were homeschooled up to about middle school. My mother had three years of college but no degree and taught all four of us at once. For financial reasons we all ended up going to public school at around late elementary/middle school and we were miles ahead of everyone from an academic standpoint. There were definitely some social issues integrating which didn't take long but I think our parents could have done a better job exposing us to "normal" kids and not moving around so much. YMMV.
It would’ve been nice to see this normalized by CPU cycles or javascript tokens executed or something like that.

Something so that more megahertz/cores doesn’t throw off the number.

Whatever the reason, it is nice to see it improving. I think it would be interesting to also see a median figure in addition to a 95% figure.
right. what they want is "wealthy home schoolers with tons of resources" to suffer in college and have low lifetime earnings in the same way as "everyone else". That's equality.
We started blaming parents long, long ago and never stopped. Unfortunately that's not effective in many cases. A lot of parents are ineffectual, apathetic, or shameless. Blaming them might make the rest of us feel morally superior but it doesn't improve outcomes for their children.

And for older children, peers tend to influence them more than parents anyway. Turning around a failing student will often require separating them from their current friends. Tough to do when you can't afford to move to a better school district.

The biggest looming factor is that many jobs in the US are at-will employment, so while people can have good intentions and share those with you, the person or company can turn around and fire you for almost any reason. There's no penalty for going back on their word.

Finland has something different than that though and it sounds like it's harder to fire people.
> ok all the downvotes makes me think I am missing something here

The thing you’re missing is that, to a certain prominent subset of the tech community which is also prominent here on HN, “politics” should be “kept out of” tech. Also from this point of view, “politics” is anything uncomfortable which doesn’t reinforce status quo power dynamics; reinforcing those however is “not politics”, and should be explicitly not kept out of tech. One such topic of “politics” is any analysis of how those power dynamics came to exist and be sustained on a global scale in the first place. Analysis of how they might be undone is right out.
The average home sale price around here is around $1M. Realtors simply do not provide $60K worth of value to the sale of one.
We tried this first in one room and couldn't get the bulbs with the range that we wanted. Hue really stood out in how dark and bright they could get. The RGB also ended up being much more useful than we thought.
That's price gouging, not inflation. Creating money faster than the system (economy) creates value is the sole source of inflation. Extreme example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperinflation_in_Zimbabwe

They thought they could just print more money, so they are 100 trillion dollar bills that are only worth something due to the novelty.

Inflation manifests as rising prices, but the reason is because the purchasing power declines due to overprinting.

Bitcion is the perfect counter example. There can only ever be 20M BTC, so it's enormously deflationary. At some point the mining is over. To account for this it's "infinitely" divisible. So you end up with milliBTC etc.
Never let a crisis go to waste. An increasing number of console players are complaining about devices like the XIM4 being used to cheat or otherwise provide an unfair advantage. So now Microsoft can claim credit for fighting that while also increasing the number of first party or licensed hardware they sell seems win/win from their perspective I'm sure.
It's done over USB 2.0 largely because that's simpler than involving newer and faster specs, and partly because that's how the original iPhone did it.

My understanding is that all complaint USB USB-C cables should work for USB 2.0, even USB4/TB4 cables, but active TB3 cables might not hook up the USB 2.0 pins.
Yeah, it's tough on both sides. Competition is fierce for leads, but the rates have to be sky high to support the enormous mass of realtors. If the fees drop a lot of people are going to need to find new jobs.
Games should be fun, but I do think competitive modes should have separate lobbies/ranks/queues for MKB and controller (maybe per-controller, if they're different enough).

Aim assist is a big change to a game to me because it necessarily introduces an opinion about how much assistance controller users deserve into the equation.

I get that controllers are not as precise of an input mechanism as mice, but how much worse? How much does having aim assist allow you to play a style that PC players can't? E.g. some implementations of aim assist make quick scoping very strong.

It also just feels really crappy to watch a kill cam and know that if you had done the same thing, you would have missed because no aim assist. The reasons why make sense, it's not a logical thing, but it does feel bad. I would imagine dying to KBM flicks feels equally bad for controller players.

I do think aim assist should exist for controllers, I just don't think it should co-exist with KBM in the same matches in competitive modes. Console players don't seem to like having KBM players in their matches either, so that seems like a win-win.
Very little. When I was younger growing up in Australia, auctions were very common, and it was very much the "traditional" model, everyone stands around in front of the property and puts up their hand to bid.

Regularly auctioneers would get caught taking bids from trees or vehicles to push prices up. They'd get caught when their fake bid was the highest. It became so common it was almost expected, and reforms to the process had to be introduced.
