It is my understanding that you can compare weights and with a high degree of confidence determine what the parent of a model is unless the fine tuning destroyed all the original information in which case there isn’t a huge reason to have fine tuned to begin with. There are other ways to scramble weights which make the comparisons a lot harder to do though which will matter if weights ever are considered copyrightable

> even democrats in the US would be considered right form the center in Europe

That used to be the case but it is true no longer, current 'Democrats' (between quotes because the DNC seems to be as democratic as the DRC from what I've seen) are comparable to centre-left parties in north-western Europe. The more activist wing of the 'Democrats' is comparable to socialist and communist parties in e.g. Sweden and the Netherlands.

I opened the article after reading this comment, looked at the cover image, and thought you must be out of your mind. Then I scrolled down, and the newer images looked progressively worse.

In 2022, reported consumer losses to fraud totaled $8.8 billion — a 30 percent increase from 2021, according to the most recent data from the Federal Trade Commission. The biggest losses were to investment scams, including cryptocurrency schemes, which cost people more than $3.8 billion, double the amount in 2021.

The data says we are not that good and getting 30% worse every year.

I think the bottleneck is data

For single 3D object the biggest dataset is ObjaverseXL with 10M samples

For full 3D scenes you could at best get ~1000 scenes with datasets like ScanNet I guess

Fair enough, and I appreciate the extra perspective.

I wouldn't deny that many of these things have improved. Very little actually gets worse in a literal sense (environmental issues and other negative externalities aside, though they are very relevant as well). The concern is that they tend to get marginally better when they should by all means be getting significantly better, because the lion's share of the benefits feed the ever-widening wealth gap.

Q: Are negative stories about YC suppressed on HN?

A: No, we moderate less, not more, when YC or a YC startup is the topic. The good will of the community is worth more than any story.

A: You can't derive rank from votes and time alone. See "How are stories ranked?" above.

This is still what the Guide on the Mercurial site mentions as the "basic workflow" for working on separate features. Named branches are considered "advanced", and bookmarks are an afterthought entirely.

About 10 years ago, after reading a lot about how hg was more intuitive than git, I decided to give it a try. I was already using git branches a lot, so this was definitely not a good first impression.

Superb analogy indeed as this is the same approach I use in my next pursuit in breaking through to those from a technology background. The cache sources can be anything providing energy to be stored in the rapid response system while the cache system itself is modular in design allowing ingress and egress simultaneously based on inputs and outputs of demand. The fun part is designing and writing the software to control all the "cache" hardware. I have no idea what I am talking about though but I did stay in a Holiday Inn last night... or was it a Motel 6. :)

For those with their ear on the track when that sound resonates they will see the light, everyone else will be in the dark without energy storage. Costs are spiking everywhere and the U.S. government is having meetings near weekly exactly about this coming fun. Those meetings reflect frank direct statements about coming derailments and the grid has not changed since its inception and remains to be centralized to this very day. There are enough smart technologists here that can put together exactly what I infer, significant opportunity.

For those further interested check out YT: "Environment Hearing: Clean Power Plan 2.0 Will Jeopardize Reliable and Affordable Energy". As with anything making significant revenues however those threatened with revenue loss will play the dirtiest games to preserve their position, this includes increasing the pollution output that is making that revenue.

Right after I posted this comment, the story suspiciously jumped straight to spot #5 on the front page, skipping all the #10s and #20s that a story normally has to climb up to - like it was being artificially suppressed and then it immediately shot up when someone removed the suppression bool after seeing my comment. Then, my comment went up to 3 points, likely from real users upvoting it. Now, it is down to 1 point, possibly from manipulation, and I expect it to fall into negative points soon.

I have screenshots of every single step in this story's suppressed rise to the HN frontpage, and of my comment's scores over time. If YC is ever investigated for stock manipulation, journalists may contact me for access to these screenshots which may be valuable evidence.

Many people got by just fine. Between wired connections and the cellular network (and a whole… two different companies providing both) there’s enough redundancy in place to cover the majority of people in the majority of situations. And it only takes one person in an area with information for it to be spread and distributed around.

I think many people should be more worried about having a few days of potable water available.

> But preventing a person like Reyes from recording does nothing to resolve the privacy issue.

I'm not arguing that he should be prevented from recording, really. The problem here is that there are opposing needs and rights, and some sort of balance needs to be had (and it would be better if that balance leaned more toward vulnerable people than those who are making some sort of political point.)

I'm arguing that Reyes, and other "auditors", are unmitigated assholes for engaging this sort of activity.

That said, preventing the recording may not resolve the privacy issue, but it would at least avoid making it worse.
Using road traffic data to figure out final destinations of passengers is an interesting idea (I'm not sure you'd get much more granularity than "x% of [increased] road traffic associated with London Luton airport actually heads north of Luton away from London" though). I'm wondering if any airports have used traffic data to derive stats for their pitches to airlines; they certainly collate other facts and figures and do other analysis to try to convince airlines to serve them as well as neighbouring airports

Systematic data on "last mile" passenger origin and destination for a large number of airports sounds like a holy grail product for network development that would be a viable business in its own right, the problem being that none of the systematic sources of that information I can think of are likely to share it. Survey data like this may be as good as it gets
https://www.caa.co.uk/data-and-analysis/uk-aviation-market/c...

At a macro level passenger demand is closely correlated with GDP and population growth (and the fleet forecast and aircraft valuation models most of the industry uses are based on pretty simple macro assumptions). So with city-level population/GDP figures combined with easily-obtained existing airline network/capacity data you can start identifying areas that are badly connected, perhaps ending up with some sort of gravity model.

Would love to chat about this sort of thing in more detail (I used to work at Flightglobal/Cirium and worked more recently on airline app startup projects, and my email is dtellett@gmail.com)
> Poe has about infinity times more to lose from the implosion of OpenAI than it stands to gain from

Your premise requires that the acting board actually thought OpenAI would implode. The board very obviously did not think this outcome would happen. They have been in chaos and scrambling ever since precisely because they badly miscalculated the outcome of firing Altman.

Alternatively: slow down and or roll back the commercialization of GPT, especially with regards to the just announced GPTs (nice coincidence on timing that this happens right after that, as it directly threatened Poe). Poe benefits hugely in that scenario. The ideal outcome for Poe is to hamstring GPT's commercialization; develop the models, artificially restrain the commercialization, leave that to Poe. People do not always act or think rationally. They can be and often are wrong in their estimations. Otherwise smart people can make exceptionally dumb choices.

Ooops, I didn't mean for that chain of events to happen: history in a nutshell.
