> The weird thing about supermassive black holes is that their average density at the Schwarzschild radius actually goes down as they grow bigger.

What does that mean? The Schwarzschild radius is just the distance at which even light can no longer escape, the only matter there is the matter that happens to be falling in at that moment. Unless you mean the average density within the Schwarzschild volume (a term I just made up as far as I know, but you know what I mean) if all the mass of the black hole were spread out evenly throughout it.
Well it won’t because they’ll use the model you paid for and take your customers.
I feel both sides are exaggerating here - "lured with right combination" and "men with guns". Both of these aren't really working like this in our world.

> I'd be curious if you feel the same way about cleaning up your code, or cleaning up your room

Very genuinely: I do not care at all whether you clean your room starting from left and continuing to right. Or, starting from doors and continuing toward window. Or whether you clean it in a random order. I also do not care about whether you clean every Friday or whenever you feel like. That is the equivalent of git history. Because this excessive care about git history is just that - insisting that room is cleaned from left to right as if any other order was an issue.

The reason why it is hard to defend the tangible benefits of this or that git history strategy is that there are very little benefits.
Calculation of such large numbers are usually handled by BigInt libraries that are more or less only limited by memory. In Rust that would be the uint crate.
Thank you so much, both for providing more background on exponentiation, and for the reference. :-)

I always keep some of this around. Like most of those things, you'll get a bit of "rebound" congestion (ie: the tissue swells once you get used to the spray and stop using it) but I find if I only use it for sleep and only a few times a month when it's worst, I don't run into any issues.
Interesting how "all other languages" only includes PIE languages and 2 Semitic languages.

Mercurial fixes pretty much all of these problems via changeset evolution: commits are marked as obsolete and the obsolescence marker says which commit replaces the obsolete commit. So you have a meta-graph of commits as they change. You can therefore undo, you can trace the history, and since obsolete commits aren't shared by default, they slowly fade away.

Well this is mostly for developers and not researchers. Its about using their system.
So what is the selling point for writers and artists now? Being more expensive, much slower and less capable than a machine? At the rate these things are progressing, there’s not going to be any point in keeping them around.
I don't follow why would the type of mineral water matter for irrigation? Also I thought that you were meant to use saline, no?
That's fine on my computer, but if I'm logging into a server I'm not going to do that every time.
This is a short-sighted view in my opinion. Similar views often lead to reimplementing old bugs, rediscovering hidden requirements, and ultimately re-implementing most of the things that made the old system complicated.

We've seen this in npm. Npm was supposed to be simpler than maven - then it slowly rediscovered the reasons we need package signing, support for circular dependencies, and all the other messy things that go into package management.

While I don't have numbers, it seems like a huge percentage of the "this problem should be simple, let's build a new app" projects either fail or recreate the same gnarly problems that led the existing projects to be complicated.
It is certainly not new. There are some things that Racket doesn't allow, but they are very much not "compile new code". For example, you can't replace the meaning of existing modules at runtime, nor can you modify the implementation of functions that are on the stack already (both things that some runtime systems for some languages allow). But `eval` has been there since the beginning.
Huh? That's not even the point. If that is upheld, it will still be an significant and overall loss for Epic. Apple's request for a stay on appeal could have been denied too, but it wasn't, so the appeals court at least doesn't see it as obviously working out in Epic's favor.
Ton of people here mentioned carbon steel, so I've ordered one :) Will see how it goes! Thanks folks.
It seemed to me like 12ft.io was useful for a couple of months, but then stopped being useful as they agreed to blacklist more and more URLs. I thought everybody switched to archive.is, which (so far) works 100% of the time, even if it is sometimes a pain in the butt.
A smaller model has less capacity and thus is less prone to overfitting, which is a reason of hallucination. Overfitting means that a model cannot adjust its output based on the input that is unseen during training.
> Antitrust law governs anti-competitive conduct, not the formation of monopolies (cf. "trusts", as they were known at the time the Sherman Act was passed). There is is nothing illegal about forming a monopoly. The question is whether the defendant used their monopoly position to engage in anti-competitive practices.

It's more complicated than that; "Innocent monopolies" (i.e. those that occur and are maintained without any anticompetitive practices) are allowed, but the list of things you can't do to form or maintain them (particularly after the Clayton act) makes it rather hard. For example, Mergers and Acquisitions that are likely to "substantially reduce market competition" are not allowed, so forming a monopoly by buying out your competitors would seem to violate the intent of the law.

Is Intel really supporting this? It seems like ARM is the one with the most to lose here. Intel could actually benefit from an RISC-V play with their own cores and extensions.
Python has arbitrary precision integers, so you could do it without running into overflows. Although if implementing floating point based technique, you may want to use np.float128 to handle values upto 10^4932.

One path is pursuing SBIR grants from the federal government (if you are based in the US). There is a wide variety from defense to agriculture to medical - but the grant process can be competitive!

Pineapple is called 菠萝(Bōluó) or 凤梨(Fènglí) in Chinese by the way.

Generally I agree with the HN rule that the submission must match the headline, but this is definitely a case where the submission title needs to be changed.
No, generally not (at least for British English).
Actually this sort of clarifies things for me (perhaps falsely) that the etymology is from a pineapple sort of looking like a pinecone. Looking at the plant that it grows from, it clearly would not be mistaken for a pine tree.

Lots of languages? Sure.

Almost every language that is not English? No.

The most common term is "ananas" or some close variation, from the extinct Old Tupi language of what is now Brazil, which was a common trade language in the region in the colonial period.

The next most common term is "piña/pineapple" or a close variation. (from Latin and, for those forms using some version of the "-apple" ending, Germanic roots: English, most regional forms of Spanish [but not all, because, well, Spanish][0], Japanese, Korean, Tagalog, and others)

There's also a smaller number of languages (but with lots of speakers, e.g., Mandarin!) that use their own words not closely resembling either.

[0] Yes, English is frequently like this, too.
I'm not from Ontario but we watched many episodes in French class in high school (American). We enjoyed the sense of humor and made a lot of references to it even after the class.
More "pineapple" :

pynappel (Afrikaans)

paina (Hawaiian)

I'm sure there are many more...
I just released a new version of my LLM CLI tool with support for the new GPT-4 Turbo model: https://llm.datasette.io/en/stable/changelog.html#v0-12

You can install it like this:

pipx install llm

Then set an API key:

llm keys set openai
<paste key here>

Then run a prompt through GPT-4 Turbo like this:

llm -m gpt-4-turbo "Ten great names for a pet walrus"
# Or a shortcut:
llm -m 4t "Ten great names for a pet walrus"

Here's a one-liner that summarizes all of the comments in this Hacker News conversation (taking advantage of the new long context length):

curl -s "https://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/items/38166420" | \
jq -r 'recurse(.children[]) | .author + ": " + .text' | \
llm -m gpt-4-turbo 'Summarize the themes of the opinions expressed here,
including direct quotes in quote markers (with author attribution) for each theme.
Fix HTML entities. Output markdown. Go long.'

Example output here: https://gist.github.com/simonw/d50c8634320d339bd88f0ef17dea0...
The root of ananas is Sanskrit. That's why you find it in so many languages.

As my brother (archeologist/linguist, reads the latter) says:

"Take a time machine and travel to a market on the Indian subcontinent, a thousand years back. Ask a fruit vendor for ananāsa/anāsa. You will get a pineapple."

Edit: Pineapples were introduced to India by Portuguese in 1548 AD.

Edit: Kindly ignore the initial claim. It's BS. :) (the time machine claim would still hold though).
The word comes from Portugese/Spanish, the origin is 'nanas' which the Tupi people in Brazil used [1]. So the actual origin is from the Tupi-Guarani linguistic families [2].

OpenAI is still way too expensive to run a corporate knowledge base on top
It's not the existence of crime, crime happens in real money, too. It's the complete and utter lack of anything else but crime. Originally, Bitcoin only appealed to 1) geeks who enjoyed the technical details and 2) people who wanted to buy drugs. Then, you got to phase 2, where bolstered by the liquidity provided by the people trading drugs and the unbridled enthusiasm of the geeks, the value went up. Then, The Silk Road got shut down, and the value started to fluctuate wildly, leading to runaway speculation, attracting the "fight club for finance" guys. Those guys marketed crypto to the broader flock of normal people, because they needed bag-holders for their (illegal securities trading) schemes. The influx of people gullible enough to listen to the finance bros provided a pre-filtered pool of people who would make good marks for scams.

The useful applications of crypto are illegal (buying narcotics) and the majority of the ecosystem today is both illegal and completely economically nonproductive.
Cities face a climate dilemma: to build or not to build homes in risky places
That is not an article that is a series of short-form tweets. If it was an actual article I would absolutely read it but I cannot see referencing a bunch of tweets from a self-proclaimed expert as in any sense good faith. I asked if you had any novel ideas about how "superintelligent AI" gives a valid x-risk but you failed to provide any interesting ideas. So I wont engage with what from my perspective is fearmongering for the benefit of malicious corporations.

I still dont see any studies with control groups and reproduceable experimental procedures saying that any AI agent is in any way more useful to a 'terrorist' than unrestricted access to the internet.
That's Dimethyltryptamine (DMT), the chemical produced by our Pineal Gland which is related to dreaming and is released in massive quantities upon birth and death (IIRC).

It's produced in several plants including Mimosa Hostilis and Acacia Confusa, and can be extracted into a tea called Ayahuasca, or into pure DMT crystals which can be smoked in a process similar to smoking meth.

People claim to have human experiences like you describe, but I've only ever gotten the type of DMT trip that completely unravels the human meaning of things.

The problem is that this captures just salary compensation, it doesn't include bonuses or equity which is a huge factor for many jobs(and soon I imagine more due to this law).
They don't, and cars can still come in to Swedish ports... There's just not anyone there that's willing to unload those made by Tesla before the ship has to leave again.

The unions are allowed to strike because Tesla refuse to sign the collective agreement that regulates the use of strikes while the employees in return are guaranteed minimal wage, pensions and so on.

Tesla can sign this agreement any time they want to, but they're choosing this fight while the unions wants regulation. That's on them, not anyone else - and Musk is perfectly free to take his business elsewhere if he don't want to conform to Swedish customs.
How much of Fox' decline is due to their occasionally going against Trump, and firing commentators that go beyond even their pale like Tucker Carlson? They forgot their business is reinforcing confirmation bias (as is all mainstream media, to a large extent, just with different demographics).

Yes. Just because the model is smaller doesn't always mean by default it's worse, as they may be trained for less time or on less data, which in some cases could be beneficial. The differences are small so may not be statistically significant. Plus the model is doing the evaluation, so while it's highly correlated with humans, a small difference like this may not mean that the the 7B model is necessarily better.
This is the first time in my 4 decade+ life of being a native English speaker that I’ve ever heard of this, so I’d think generally not.
"Element is losing its ability to compete in the very ecosystem it has created" - anybody know what proprietary companies/projects are possibly being referred to here?
And that's this narrow view that perhaps made incumbents missed the big picture.

I think the real insight Apple had is that, with phones becoming smartphone, internet, videos, apps, etc people would want a bigger screen rather than a keyboard and a smaller screen even if a physical keyboard might be a bit better to type (and I'm not even sure of that).

A radical idea proved a winner. A bit like with SpaceX...

I fully expect Arianespace to be like Nokia was, very slow, a lot of bureaucracy, and no-one dreaming of anything really new. The irony is that since they launch from the coast of French Guyana reusable boosters that can land on sea platforms sound like the perfect solution for them...
I’ve been keeping my eye on a YC startup for the last few months that I interviewed with this summer. They’ve been set back so many times. It looks like they’re just “ball chasing”. They started as a chatbot app before chatgpt launched. Then they were a RAG file processing app, then enterprise-hosted chat. I lost track of where they are now but they were certainly affected by this announcement.

You know you’re doing the wrong thing if you dread the OpenAI keynotes. Pick a niche, stop riding on OpenAI’s coat tails.

Sounds like this guy lacks a few clues about password hygiene.
The dead part is the only exaggeration. That would be a last resort.

If you tried to pack up SpaceX (so to speak) and its technology and move it overseas, the FBI would arrest you and promptly stop you. If you put a fight, they would respond accordingly. That's assuming you were in a position to order that attempted move (you'd have to be Musk, Shotwell probably couldn't get very far given Musk's ownership position).

SpaceX is a very significant national security matter for the US Government and military industrial complex. Of course they would kill you if you legitimately threatened that critical cornerstone; first they'd try to reason with you, maybe subtly threaten you not to try it, then they'd attempt to arrest you (and then in private try to make their point more loudly); if there were no other options, they would kill you to stop the transfer.

This isn't Medtronic or Anheuser-Busch we're talking about. The machine that invades countries, topples governments, takes on other superpowers (Nazi Germany, Empire of Japan, Soviet Union, Russia, China), fights massive wars as it deems necessary (WW2, Korea, Vietnam), and kills people professionally - it needs SpaceX at this point in time (and the future edge that SpaceX launch capabilities may provide).
