Were your eyes open? Sorry to poke but your original comment paints America as a pendulum when it really isn’t. From someone who’s lived across the Southeast, it’s so weird to read that statement said so confidently when it’s just not true. Plenty of small towns and small cities that aren’t depressing.
If it's 5 common crawls, isn't data across multiple common crawls mostly similar?
Pretty interesting.
I find this idea on the internet that you can't be critical about anything annoying. I actually only run into this in online comment sections. People show up and start asking "why do you care", like we shouldn't be thinking about our actions and others and how they impact that world?

Also an interesting instance where marketing is why he is popular. I don't think the paintings and drawings stand on their own. I think most can achieve this level of skill with some dedication. Agree with the point about what sells is the whole package of reaction videos. Is it really art or just a new form of commercials to get followers.
I'm inclined to agree simply because humans are way too complex to be defined in that way.

But I have a story of a pretty horrible case of bystaderism that I saw 10+ years ago. A man suddenly had an epileptic fit, or something of that effect, in the street. I was about 30 meters away and saw hos this man just fell to the ground suddenly. On a busy downtown street in Sweden's 4th largest city. People who were walking behind him literally stepped over him and kept walking while I ran towards him to see what was wrong.

But I wasn't the only one who ran to him. The stand out thing was specifically a couple who were walking at his pace behind him and just stepped over him and kept walking, a young couple too in their 20s. Very strange and forever stuck in my head.

But both me and several others rushed to his aide and stayed with him, held him in the side position, until he regained consciousness.

Anyways, about 10 years later I find out I have mild autism.
I'm not a programmer but can any one tell me, like how does a computer know stuff? Is it like how I know stuff, I have to read it, do computer read like that?
Python leadership did the python 2->3 adventure. So.....

But yeah, I agree. This is something that golang nails. They supply all the options out of the box.
thanks for sharing, will check these out!

based on your understanding, do you think it's possible to do live imaging of RNA molecules < 200 nucleotides -- without altering biological processes?

super resolution microscopy references DNA imaging but doesn't delve into contamination risk, which is the critical bit.

the first link didn't mention DNA/RNA applications at all.

do you mind sharing the other types you recommend investigating?
> if one of the things you are selling is likability and good vibes, cheering on this kind of vicious reaction every time you get a review you don’t like is probably not a sustainable career path.

This is completely false. I might even say that it is wishful thinking. Some kind of "long arc of history bends towards justice" make-believe.

The contrary is almost certainly true: picking fights with well-selected made up enemies is an effective way to promote a brand that is based on virtue. It transforms an inactive/passive audience into an active participant in a movement. I would bet many of the people attacking this art critic wrote their first comment in defense of this artist. He subtly said "I need your help" and his audience reacted.

The art critic noted the manufactured TikTok videos, obviously planned by a media savvy PR team. Perhaps he isn't cynical enough to believe it, but this sustained and coordinated attack against him may well have been planned and orchestrated.
Maybe Microsoft can find a market for it, they do have enormous datacenters and lasers are always getting cheaper.

Especially due to femtosecond lasers becoming very common for laser eye surgery, driving down cost a lot.
Unfortunately no, the problem here is that you're probably going to need a lot of compiled extensions, and some of these extensions are going to be running on your GPU (especially if you're in the ML world, but also more generally if you want to take advantage of e.g. your lab's HPC cluster). PyPI can manage some of this with the wheels system (i.e. OS, architecture, Python ABI), but there's no metadata to indicate, for example, which GPU you have available. So in most cases it's possible to just precompile all the relevant variants and let people download the best one for them, or even in some cases allow people to compile everything for themselves, but there's still situations where those aren't good options.

This is why PyTorch is famously more complicated to install via newer packages managers such as Poetry, because it requires something slightly more complicated than the existing Wheel setup, and most package managers aren't designed for that. (Pip isn't designed for that either, but PyTorch has come up with workarounds for pip already.)

Containers can't solve this problem because containers are tied to the architecture of the machine they're running on, they can't abstract that away. So even if your code is running in a container, it still needs to know which architecture, OS, resources, etc it has access to.
>It took me a month to realize that the staff developers very much reveled in and protected their bad code and bizarre domain choices.

I think personality can account for this without any reference to incentives, which come in to explain how this personality problem can be so common among successful engineers.
Le Innovazioni di Windows 11: Come Cambiano il Gioco per gli Sviluppatori

Windows 11, il più recente sistema operativo di Microsoft, ha fatto il suo debutto con una serie di caratteristiche rivoluzionarie e miglioramenti che promettono di cambiare il gioco per gli sviluppatori di tutto il mondo.

Una delle principali innovazioni è la disponibilità di macchine virtuali basate su Windows 11. Queste macchine virtuali, offerte gratuitamente durante un periodo di valutazione di 90 giorni, permettono agli sviluppatori di sperimentare l'ultimo sistema operativo senza l'acquisto di una licenza.

Con l'aggiunta di strumenti come Visual Studio 2022 Community Edition e il Sottosistema Windows per Linux 2, gli sviluppatori hanno tutto ciò di cui hanno bisogno per iniziare a creare app innovative.

Un altro punto di forza di Windows 11 è la sua flessibilità. Con diverse opzioni di download, gli sviluppatori possono scegliere se desiderano una macchina virtuale "pulita" senza software extra o se preferiscono una macchina virtuale con gli strumenti di sviluppo di Microsoft preinstallati.

Questa personalizzazione permette a ciascun sviluppatore di avere un ambiente di lavoro su misura per le proprie esigenze.

Tuttavia, ciò che veramente distingue Windows 11 sono le sue prestazioni e la sua sicurezza.

Le ultime patch e aggiornamenti assicurano che gli sviluppatori abbiano un sistema affidabile e sicuro su cui lavorare, riducendo al minimo i rischi associati allo sviluppo di software.

In conclusione, Windows 11 promette di essere una piattaforma fondamentale per gli sviluppatori nei prossimi anni.

Con le sue numerose innovazioni e miglioramenti, ha tutto ciò che serve per rendere il processo di sviluppo più efficiente e produttivo.

Thank you for taking the time.

I can only imagine what your life is like, however in a weird way, what you're doing seems incredibly brave/courageous to me. Like you've entered some kind of frontier that few would dare enter in modern 2023.

Which is funny, because a few generations back having 3 kids would have been considered average, if not underwhelming compared to the average.

I wish you all the best. From one father to another.
Yeah, if you're using WebRTC only for data channels, then 100% you should switch to WebTransport with all due haste. Once Safari adds support of course.
To my memory, it was known that Apple had been maintaining an x86 build of OS X for some time, so it wasn't completely out of left field.

But, it still felt surprising, if only for their intense marketing painting Intel processors as slow and their PowerMacs as "supercomputers," which still hits for its brazen absurdity. Then to turn the narrative on its head in one keynote!

That's marketing for you.
Oh man this has got me really wanting to read The Iliad again. For those who haven't read it and think they might not since they kinda know the story of Troy I would really urge you to give it a shot. It's an amazing journey to go on.
I'm not talking about users accusing the company of faking them from the outside. I'm saying if that string them along system was real at these modern companies someone inside would have exposed one by now. It would be more than just a leak, it would be illegal, deceptive business practices, false advertising, bait and switch. That's probably why they don't exist. No way all these apps with all these employees over all these years managed to keep everyone who worked on the shady illegal systems from spilling the beans. Uber god view was a huge deal. Tinder having systems and paying people to deceive people so they spend money would land C level execs on the bread line. Maybe it does exist, wouldn't surprise me, but I have doubts since we've never seen any evidence
The creator knew you would do that...
If you can hold true to that (e.g., she has excellent recall and you can reliably leash her immediately if anyone else shows up, such that no one even knows you have broken the law), then I am OK with that.

Most people who let their dog off-leash in on-leash areas do not have that kind of control (even when they think they do), and for that reason, I am in favor of the law coming down very hard on this.

(At the same time, I am strongly in favor of more designated off-leash parks. As much as I hate off-leash dogs running around, a fair percentage of this is due to a lack of dog-friendly spaces, and fines can only do so much to mitigate it. I would be in favor of all earnings from off-leash fines having to go toward building and maintaining local dog parks.)
I've always thought that a better idea would be for HN to not permit an article already posted to be posted again until at least a week (preferably a month!) has passed.

I'm always annoyed to see the same article posted half a dozen times or so within the space of a day. That also splits up the comments so that most are never seen.
So I assume defense attorneys can do similar things?
In theory, yes. In practice it's almost certainly already mitigated in client side.
> Because it's a fucking website

You seem to be aware that web developers need to use, pardon my French in kind, fucking tools to develop a fucking website. The tools—in many cases the very same tools used by non-web developers—don’t magically become lighter weight just because the end product ought to be. Web developers don’t need those tools any less than non-web developers. Chrome (or equivalent) and Slack (or equivalent) and basically any IDE are just as prevalent in many non-web development workflows, and account for just as much demand for resources for those developers.

In what other profession would it be a “sad commentary” that the resources needed to do one’s job differ from the resources needed by the product of that job?
This is how moneyheads think the world works: that everything is a series of monetary incentives to be linked together to make an end result. Most humans don't actually think this way, and in specific a LOT of creative work is made without calculating exactly what the profit is going to be. This doesn't mean that artists don't want to be paid, but that artists focus on making their work first and monetizing it later.

What copyright actually protects is creative industry. By assigning individualized monopolies over copying and reproduction, the publishing industry can persistently lowball the shit out of artists (who themselves undervalue their work, see above) and then reap the profits for themselves. Since the vast majority of creative work would never see market interest, it's cheaper to pay billions of dollars to the handful of known, recognizable, and marketable mega-successes than to pay smaller amounts to a far larger pool of mid-list or unknown artists. This is why unions exist in basically every creative industry: otherwise, nobody below the talent line[0] gets paid.

To put a finer point on it: right now, the unions are doing a way better job of protecting human artists against AI art than copyright is. The argument for training AI being infringing is very weak in the general case where there's no obvious regurgitation. I mean, where does your copyrighted material even 'live' in the model, if the model can't even reproduce it? However, unions can very easily just say "you can't force us to cut corners by using this tool" in their negotiations and actually get that result. Furthermore, those rulings only bind publishers that hire artists. The artists themselves can still use AI when it makes sense in their workflow, rather than when publishers think they can cheap out on shit.

The failures of Soviet communism are complicated, but if you had to boil it down to one factor, I would not summarize it as "communal ownership bad" or "collectivism bad". Collective action has its place. Furthermore, the analogy you're making between copyright and physical property is flawed[1]. The reason why physical property ownership even exists is because of scarcity - the reason why I need permission to use your car is because you can't use your car if I'm also using it.

The irony of your communism analogy is that copyright is specifically used to erode ownership in private property in a way that makes the communism haters cry communism. There's a novel form of copyright misuse as a business model in which you put software in a thing that used to not require software, call it "smart", and then use the software to enforce your own idea of what "owning" the product means, backed up by the same laws that make it illegal to copy DVDs. There are a LOT of people who would like to go back to owning their cars and computers again, and that requires rolling back copyright, not strengthening it.

[0] Hollywood-ism for "people whose contribution to the work is not marketable"

The only time I have seen a good response from the discovery of a large security hole was when it was by total accident, and the person mentioned it in a public channel by accident. They almost got fired, but the bug got fixed quickly.
>what? people are following direction, and the way the plane boards is actually important to how fast it loads, so youre messing with that because its a mild convenience to you and you consider that intelligent behaviour?

What direction? The only time there were more directions than just "priority" vs "non priority" was on my flight to Korea a few years ago. Most smaller flights in Europe, sadly, do not do that.
I was kind of just reading along, seemed very reasonable and then...

"But the mere presence of the race issue made social politics far more one-sided than it had ever been before. Because the political mood of the 1960s was liberal, and because blacks were claiming rights they had long been denied, the assumption became that all minority disadvantages were in some way due to white injustice. The earlier civic politics had assumed reciprocity — disagreements in politics often occurred, but they could be civil because both sides respected the other's right to be heard. Once race erupted as a national issue, only blacks and their advocates could be heard"

From there it seems only tangentially related to Putnam and makes a strong if unacknowledged detour into reactionary right wing politics. I only noticed it was from National Affairs at that point, having clicked through rather blindly.
The QLD government is pretty unlikely to stump up. That's a lot of cash for the state.
grug say now ok reach for club
Was that really free will, or were you destined to not do it?
From what I hear of TikTok (or can't avoid hearing), people also become huge influencers for putting up basic cooking tips.

Remember, these are middle schoolers, at least mentally.
I think Robert C. Martin has already described that fairly well [1] [2].

I can’t say it these days, but Apple. About 20 years ago I bought an Xserve and their RAID system. A couple of terabyte RAID on a fibre channel connection.

It had trouble booting properly when the user homedir was on the RAID. I called Apple, was quickly transferred to someone else. That person listened and then said “please hold”. About 15 minutes later he came back and said “OK I’ve duplicated the bug, here’s the ticket number, we’ll get you a fix ASAP”.

AppleCare is pretty nice but can only handle straightforward things.
>I've often remarked (informally) that autistic people seem to operate under the assumption that the explicitly-stated rules are the actual rules.

Yes, and the people who believe that this is not how things should work are, in a word, wrong.

Polities and societies who believe this tend to be very economically prosperous; GDP per capita has a positive correlation with this concept (countries with common law but no meaningfully codified negative rights come a relatively distant are second, civil law countries come third, and despotic regimes a distant fourth).

Immigration patterns of high-skill/high-educated workers follow this correlation as well; all high-achievers want to live in the US, those who aren't quite as autistic land in Canada or the UK, Continental Europe is not a meaningful destination for high-skill migration, and people will die trying to get out of China.

The problem with autistic-minded people, when operating under the notion that society has rules, tend to leak an outsized amount of political power into that society. A society that successfully prohibits itself from trying to capture that power prospers; a society that does not eventually becomes corrupt and devours its own ability to properly motivate those people to bother driving it forward.
“You” a market does not make.

People refuse to get out of them is the market. That is the point of their growth and dominance model.
Being too fat or weak to enlist seems like a trivial problem to solve. The base controls your diet and exercise routines. Can't they just engineer their physique after they've signed up?
I don't know whether Mistral had benchmark data contamination or not, but it's definitely a stronger model than Llama 2 7b or 13b even on non-benchmark tasks.

We proactively tested Mistral across all of our customer-deployed models on our fine-tuning platform (openpipe.ai) and found that with the exact same training data it outperformed both of those models consistently. At this point we're only keeping Llama 2 7b/13b around for our legacy customers and recommend that everyone training new models use Mistral because it's just so much better.
Careful. If you get significantly below 50%, then you could be predicted by the negation of this algorithm. To truly beat it, I think you want to be right around 50%.
There are quite a few x86 Chromebooks, millions. If you have one it is kinda surprising just how many Android apps run on them. (Or is it all emulated?)
What do you mean by “number value”? There are many different ways to calculate π, the most famous (but converging very slowly) being

π = 4 atan(1) = 4 (1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 + …)
Thanks.

So that’s a measure of how similar it is to the background vector of all (language in focus) Wikipedia data?
Apple M Chips GPU: Only 75% of total VRAM is usable by apps (including LLMs)
Is there no use for some kind of branch of mathematics that can prove false things?

You would think that with how much math there is, there would be a whole field of working with uncertain proofs. I have no idea what for, but then again I'm not a math guy.
