>yet I don't see a plethora of old men's schlongs on here.

if you remember from some months ago, the HN filter has like 66 thousand sites that get auto-filtered. I wouldn't even be surprised if your comment is delayed if you have a link and it isn't from a whitelisted site, or a greylisted site (an imgur image can have a variety of things that you want to check first). When something amiss does get through, enough commenters can flag the content and have it temporarily unviewable until a mod can get to it.

That's hard to do with Omeagle's more intimate setting, and of course live streaming yourself.

>It's been open knowledge to anyone who's been in middle and high school since 2010 (like yours truly) that Omegle is filled with creepy old guys.

may as well expand that to the rest of the internet. Most social media don't work off of live chats, so that's a huge pain point in Omeagle's favor.

And to be frank, they do. They just have more moderation to control that. Wasn't uncommon to have ANY link comment delayed for such reason, if it wasn't outright banned. Words can only do so much damage.
To preface, I largely agree with the end state presented here -- we use LLMs within a state machine-esque control flow in our product. It's great.

With that said, I disagree with the sentiment of the author. If you're a developer who's only used the ChatGPT web UI, you should 100% play with and create "AI wrapper" tech. It's not until you find the limits of the best models that you start to see how and where LLMs can be used within a traditional software stack.

Even the author's company seems to have followed this path, first building an LLM-based prototype that "sort of" worked to convert Figma -> code, and then discovering all the gaps in the process.

Therefore, my advice is to try and build your "AI-based trading card grading system" (or w/e your heart desires) with e.g. GPT-4-Vision and then figure out how to make the product actually work as a product (just like builder.io).
I'm basically never a no show though I do sometimes cancel day-of if something comes up. I really hesitate to put down a deposit that I can't cancel because stuff does come up, especially when traveling.
yup. and back in my rock'n'roll days, we used to toast bread for breakfast using two of the 1kW lights that are in the maxibrute
Ah yes, fruit of the poisonous tree.
This reminds me of an idea I had - the 1BTC coffee mug - this was back during the early first rise to $20k.
I sent dang a grumpy email about this problem the other day. His response was more gracious than I deserved, but nonetheless his faith in the title-mangler script seemed unshaken. We must double our resolve.
> The black swan big disasters

We had 2 huge ones. They resulted in a few thousand deaths and some uninhabitable land. Nothing compared to pollution damage.

> accepted by society [...] socially acceptable

I'd rather decide based on reason. And I doubt many people find millions of deaths due to pollution every year acceptable. They just don't know they had a choice. Choice stolen from them by rabid anti-nuclear fear mongering.

> I don't think climate change is a civilization-ending danger

Yet you think a few black swan nuclear disasters are? Can I borrow your crystal ball? You are pretty sure about the future but most experts I read disagree: nuclear experts consider it extremely safe while climate experts warn of dire futures.
I have used it a few times in cases where I am showing some text whose size will vary a bit, around the scrolling threshold. Better to consistently show the scrollbar than have everything jump.

Still surprised that you are so worked up by this - is it really so common or so problematic?
I’m not sure why I have to defend my curiosity, but the engineering decision to add CR4, instead of using the existing CR1 which was literally all bits “reserved for future use”, is just interesting to me. Especially because MSRs were also an option. There must have been a reason, however minutious, leading to that, and I’d like to know.

Though it’s mostly just a corollary to the existence of the completely reserved CR1 itself, which was added in the 386 at the same time as CR2 and CR3 (so I don’t think compatibility concerns apply). CR1 is entirely a forbidden zone between the well-defined CR0 and CR2. At the time, we thought that maybe CR1 was supposed to be the next register new control bits would be added into once the adjacent CR0 is full, but then Intel introduced CR4 for that instead, and made the whole CR1 gap more mysterious.

That Intel decided to skip CR1 entirely speaks of a story. Before I knew of the plans of having an on chip cache, this story was a giant mystery. Now that I know of the possibility that it might have been related to the late-scrapped plans of having an on-chip cache on the 386, I think that’s a pretty interesting potential reason already, but I’m not yet satisfied unless confirmed.

But if CR1 actually exists in the 386 in some form other than the encoding, then that's massive news.
Shortcuts in early product can definitely affect flexibility as new things keep arriving to tryout and further handcuffing things.

I love speed and frequency of shipping but sometimes thinking about things just a bit, but not too much doesn't always hurt.

Sometimes simple is using a standard to keep the innovation points for the insights to implement.

Otherwise innovation points can be burnt on infrastructure and maintaining it instead of building that insight that arrives.

Finding a sweetspot between too little, and too much tooling is akin to someone starting with vanilla javascript to learn the value of libraries, and then frameworks, in that order rather than just jump into frameworks.
> War isn't waged by individuals (or even groups of exclusively idiots and villains).

Although it is usually individuals who decide whether to start a war or not.
This is awesome! Excited to see what you do with the project. Definitely keep us updated.
A lot of great suggestions here.

My two additions would be starting weekly one-on-ones or if you are already doing them, using them to roll out changes individually with each contributor

This allows you to individualise your approach but will also help you get to know your team better.

No one is so busy they can’t spend 30mins a week having a chat.

The manager-tools.com has good resources to help with rollout

Secondly, figure out everything you want to change and then pick three. Dont change a single extra thing until those things are done.
It's why being platform independent as possible is critical. Even if it's an app in someone's store. Can't quite run it with just their stuff.
> Furthermore, the longer addresses would be routed similarly to the 32-bit ones: dst=1.1.1.1.2 would go to the 1.1.1.1/32 router the same exact way dst=1.1.1.1 does. Only difference is what that router does with the packet.

IPv4 packets have 32-bit address fields in the packet header, 1.1.1.1/32 still needs to understand IPv4.1 packets or it's going to think you're sending it corrupt garbage.

Again, nothing changes - if you do anything to change the structure of the packet header the same problem happens, no matter what.
So, there are a lot of comments saying that reservations should charge an up-front fee and apply that to the food, but I don't think that will work. First off, plenty of restaurants in New York do that and the problem persists. The underlying problem is that with scalpers buying reservations, they are proving that the market will bear a higher price. People that buy scalped reservations are paying the scalper a fee which WILL NOT be applied to their bill. That means the restaurant is undercharging.

The solution to this problem is to handle restaurant reservations like airline reservations. They check your ID before you can board the plane. No reason that restaurants can't do the same. People would be mad, of course, but that's the only way you can prevent a secondary market from setting the price. (They should do this for concert tickets and things like that as well. Artists intentionally sell tickets below market price so that their fans don't get mad at them, but economics simply doesn't all this to exist; someone will always step in to take the profit that you left on the table. By requiring ID, you can prevent the market from stepping in, because the pool of buyers goes down; only people that can get a government ID with your name on it can buy your ticket on the secondary market. John Smith is probably out of luck, but everyone else is fin.)

Overall, I don't think the restaurants have a particularly strong incentive to solve this problem. At the end of the day, they are made or broken based on filling up their tables. They do fill all their tables with the current system. So the next remaining hurdle is increasing "fairness". There isn't a way to do this without annoying someone. If they check IDs, someone will be mad that they had their ID checked. If they charge an entrance fee (i.e. a cost for the reservation that isn't applied to your meal), then someone is going to be mad. (The staff will also probably be mad; if you pay $100 for your seat, that's $100 less to tip with.) At the end of the day, I think charging market price on everything is the most fair. If people will pay $100 just to get in the door, they should take the $100. I would definitely pay it for special occasions; you can do it 6 times a year and still pay less than the annual fee on your Amex Plat card!
The fact that people were warned of a probable outcome of failing at net neutrality, making that outcome unbelievably unpopular, is the reason we didn't have that outcome.

What you refer to as being "manipulated" is more neutrally called campaigning and arguing one's case. I know the zeitgeist is to make it seem like ideas we don't support are a form of terrorism.

"Manipulated" is hiring temps to submit public comments to the FCC.

In the immortal words of Agent K

"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow."
Question for rwitten or anyone else involved in this project:

I see a per-device batch size of 6 for the 16B model. With 256x199 = 50944 TPUs and a sequence length of 2048, this works out to 104M tokens per batch. This is much larger than typical for training runs of dense LMs of this size, which are usually closer to ~4M tokens per batch.

Was your critical batch size really this large? In other words, did you really see a benefit as compared to a much smaller batch size (and probably many fewer TPUs)? Did you use some special learning rate schedule or optimizer to achieve this?
> It also sparked the idea of adding the admission charge to the food bill, so customers would not be asked for money at the door. (In his early years, Dimitriou had encountered profound resistance to a cover charge and he often operated Jazz Alley without one, feeling it set the wrong tone for the kind of fine dining establishment he was trying to create.) It worked, and music lovers in general began to view the club as an upscale destination for special occasions. By 2015, the Alley was taking in more than $3 million in admissions.

This is about Jazz Alley, in Seattle WA.

I know there'll be a lot of anti-diversity sentiment here, but just to be HN-contrarian:

Sexism (not sure about racism) really is a problem in academia in a way it just isn't in the corporate world.

There are influential old professors in science departments all across the world that genuinely believe women can't do science. They refuse to change, refuse to step down, and the universities don't do anything about it because the administrators just exist in lala land.

It gets worse than that. I know at UniMelb (the more "woke" major University in the most "woke" city in Australia), they refuse to do anything about a particular Chemistry professor who is so egregiously sexually predatory that even the men know about him; a genuine Weinstein character.

His most famous act was hosting a fake department party at his holiday house. He created invites that implied it was a big event, but only sent it to one young female student he had his eyes on. God knows what would have happened if she actually turned up alone...

I guess the point is that University administrators really can create the worst of both worlds - on one hand pushing a "diversity" narrative that demonises (powerless) young white men, while at the same time covering up for (powerful) genuine bigots and sexual predators.

Just for what it's worth, the department actually put out a report praising the predatory Chemistry professor mentioned above - he was promoting diversity by only taking on female students!
Well artists do charge differently for different areas of the venue. One could argue that prime time dinner is equivalent to watching Louis CK from the first few rows.

SCOTUS has always played a role in determining whether or not executive branch rules are in keeping with constitutional understandings, at least since Marbury.
In the previous chapter of this years long battle, a appeals court ruled that the Pai-led FCC can kill Net Neutrality on the federal level but allowed states to create their own rules, something that the FCC wanted but failed to preempt states's rules.

Also, the ISP lobby tried to kill California's state law but was defeated three times. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/05/stung-by-3-court...

I expect the same battles to be fought when the FCC get the final votes on it and like I said, the Supreme Court may have to get involved to put an end to the back and fourth as ISPs will try their hardest to get to the highest court.

Rather amusingly, the massive centralisation of the internet, which is bad for privacy in every other way, actually protects you here.
The people most against LLMs being described as AI seem to be the people who have a pre-existing notion for what AI is, and they point to all the things it can't do as reasons why it isn't actually AI. I've considered LLMs to be a piece of a greater and more complete AI in the same way our vocal cords are a piece of our internal thoughts manifesting in the real world so other people can hear them.

So an LLM is a great speaker, but it doesn't understand what it's saying. Does it need to? Do my vocal cords need to understand the stream of vibrations my brain asks for, or just respond? Understanding speech takes place at a different layer than merely repeating the "correct" speech.

Now all we need to do is attach the LLM output to a database for long term context storage, overlay a constant weight adjustment daemon that the LLM can trigger to control how it "learns", and tie the LLM temperature to /dev/random so it has mood swings like all of us meatbags do. THEN it will be a perfect human-like AI :P
It's the Executive Branch, which is headed by PotUS
I feel about the same amount of uninformed as I was pre- Google, maybe more so being that there are now whole categories of information that I know are pointless trying to memorise.

What's really changed for me is that now we don't have conversations that peter out because nobody has access to basic facts, i.e. whose population is greater, France or Germany. Now we just look it up, end the argument and move on.

Of course this was possible with other search engines. Google's utility comes conflated with the rise of the smart phone and mobile internet, all of which happened around the same time. Everybody having access to the answer to every question in their pocket is the real game changer.

I'm fine with that. They should do it for concerts, too. A little bit of inconvenience is often better than paying market price; you can easily fill every restaurant in the city every night with people that make more money than me.
My coffeeshop uses Dall-E to render flattering caricatures of customers in ground chocolate and cinnamon on the foamed milk. ;)

Who cares if you don’t have any paying customers?
A bomb truck is a cost-effective way to get cruise missiles and such in range from safer out-of-theater air bases. Making it survivable in a contested environment (stealth) opens up lots more mission profiles and lets you use even cheaper munitions like glide bombs and guided bombs, which is especially helpful in a protracted conflict. Plus it requires less escort.

A bomber isn't cheap, but it is cheaper than lots of ICBMs. And, in many cases, than multi-role fighters and/or cruise missiles.

I'm not sure I understand. Why would rebasing ever be more complicated? They're the same thing at the end of the day, no? Main branch and my branch both changed this line no matter what, you must resolve that conflict.
Maybe that's not the line you want to matter, but if you talk to the actual human beings, they are going to self-identify as "Russian" not "Citizens of the Earth".
> because the general voter direction is anti-development

The problem seems more that most San Franciscans are civically uninvolved. There are elections where less than a third turn out [1]. From what I hear, most voters never bother reaching out to their electeds.

So you have a naïve, ignorable centre. And vocal minorities who engage. Most San Franciscans are reasonable; the problem is they’re electorally irrelevant.

Talk about a Bad Trip.
> That car driving itself is not one big AI brain.

> Instead of a whole toolchain of specialized models, all connected with normal code — such as models for computer vision to find and identify objects, predictive decision-making, anticipating the actions of others, or natural language processing for understanding voice commands — all of these specialized models are combined with tons of just normal code and logic that creates the end result — a car that can drive itself.

Or, as I like to say it: what we now call "AI" actually refers to the "dumb" part (which does not mean easy or simple!) of the system. When we speak of an intelligent human driver, we do not mean that they are able to differentiate between a stop sign and a pigeon, or understand when their partner asks them to "please stop by the bakery on the way home" -- we mean that they know what decision to take based on this data in order to have the best trip possible. That is, we refer to the part done with "tons of normal code", as the article puts it.

Needless to say, I am not impressed by the predictions of "AI singularity" and whatever other nonsense AI evangelists try to make us believe.

Not really, it will be used almost exclusively to deliver very smart, very precise weapons that are smaller and lighter than what they replace. See, for example, the Small Diameter Bomb[0] program.

That's ok. Others do.

Especially with things like seafood and steak. Honestly, I can make a better steak than any restaurant at home. I can shuck oysters and have fun. And as you said, with seafood in particular, little places in good locations often have better food!

What’s the point of merging messy branches?

If your feature branches have independently working commits, go ahead and branch. Most people’s feature branches are developer diaries instead of potentially releasable products. Merging them would make everyone’s lives worse, so of course they get squashed.

Rebases are a bit weird since they mostly help during bisecting but still require production-ready commits in feature branches.
Seems to me the real fix is to take reservations over the phone, not rely on apps and intermediaries to handle stuff that can easily be handled by humans, and move on.
