Historically equal weighted indices haven't almost always underperformed according to the article. Actually the recent unusual divergence is a focus of the article. They note that historically the divergence is -0.17%, i.e. the opposite of always underperforming.

In fact, coming at investing from a fundamental/business perspective where one is seeking to buy companies at as low a valuation as possible relative to earnings, equal weighting should systematically tilt more toward cheaper companies which should have slightly higher expected return. Market cap weighting tilts towards companies like nvidia whose valuation is ballooning.

It's at times like this that being an engineer instead of a computer scientist becomes an issue. I feel exhausted from reading it and I know I'll need to make notes to properly digest what they are talking about - I was exposed only to a subset of the many notations used and it'll take some work to correlate them.

Funny enough, my time in university tech as a student said the same thing. I was going to say either that or state/federal.

I use Elasticsearch along with PostgreSQL, but I don't think of Elasticsearch as a database. It's an external index that I denormalize some of my data into.
Or how many of them don't function as well as they think they do and would really benefit from a healthier lifestyle.
What does the perfect LLM product dev tool look like?
I disagree. Look at something like the Chicago el which is a true hub and spoke system. The el needs a ring line since any trip that doesn’t start or end in the loop generally requires taking the bus which is fine but not rapid transit.

By contrast look at the Yamanote line in Tokyo for a great ring that provides tons of connections and gets tons of ridership.

Don't human authors often glean things from other copywritten works?
Lol Malthus was literally 19th century.
I was primarily a SQL Server dev and worked in an analytics department supporting homedepot.com call centers. I personally did about half and half application work in C# and the kind of query writing/analysis/optimization you're talking about. It was stable, paid okay, and I was working with a good team (which can be a crapshoot obviously).

I'd personally look for stuff like that out of focused tech companies.

Otherwise I think meetups are a fantastic idea, especially when it comes to greasing the wheels around whatever trendy interview practices are going on that week and being able to personalize the context around wanting to stick with Oracle.

Just off-the-top spit-balling, but things like workforce management, analytics, etc are the kinds of things I'd start with.

I also did project based consulting on small teams for about five years and Oracle is all over the place in non-tech industry, so I wouldn't despair on that front. I'm not sure what the market is for that kind of job, but it's so fundamentally woven into the fabric of a lot of F500 and similar companies that it's not going away soon--even if some of them would prefer it to.
It actually talks about Llama2 and how most chat versions are stupid but some aren't. Read past the first 200 words. :)
I'm pretty sure Ken Haase has a copy on a tape someplace so I never would have imagined the code might be missing.

More significant* is that his work at Xerox is likely unavailable due to how Interlisp-D worked. When I started to work for Doug on Cyc he had a three-year old band (checkpointed image) he'd been working on continuously on the Dolphin in his PARC office. As you can imagine it was full of lost fossils in memory with completely unpredictable effects on the code. I'm certain that memory image has been gone fro any backup tape for almost 40 years.

Even though we'd overlapped at PARC, when I got to MCC (Cyc), for technical reasons I refused to even use the D machine version and started out with a blank zemacs buffer on a symbolics machine. One major technical reason is that you actually had source code which could be loaded into a fresh memory image. I made sure from the start that always worked.

* what makes it significant, to me, is the technical/cultural implication of the PARC "band" model of Smalltalk and Interlisp-D. I don't mean the early Cyc code base is particularly interesting in and of itself. Interlisp on the -10 usually used files of source code, as you referenced and you would be used to from CommonLisp.
i forgot how brutal this game is. almost every explosion has a human body flying through the air, sometimes multiple.

you basically go bomb buildings, there is no concept of civilian vs military targets. your job is to completely obliterate every single standing structure that is not the same color as you. the enemy pilots you fight are all suicidal, they come directly for your plan without even a hint of trying to avoid you.

the only way to 'win' is to triumph over a desolate landscape of complete and utter destruction, not a single standing building left in the entire area except for your hangar and fuel depot. no concept of roads, houses, anything, it presents a kind of dystopian industrial void where life only exists for one purpose - to create airplanes to blow up each others buildings.

not only this but it has landscape deformation, something many games still do not have in 2023. the idea of explosions without craters, a kind of sanitized version of how pressure waves work in real life. Sopwith had it realistic in that aspect at least.

but what a bleak and desolate lanscape. a small valley, no way out, except mass extermination of all other signs of life. a denuded pixel landscape of harsh white is all that stands after victory.

anyways still loads of fun. not sure what it means to have us as a species programmed to love destruction.

Interesting. How does one get this to run on a M-series Macbook Pro?
You can, it's just going to get you attacked. Like anyone else talking about those topics generally.
This makes sense. IMO, the reason why Dunning-Kruger effect is so popular among the upper classes (along with Impostor Syndrome) is that it helps to provide justification for social inequalities as it corrects inner monologues.

"How come I have so much given that I'm not as skilled as these other people? I must suffer from impostor syndrome."

"Look at all these people complaining instead of taking responsibility for their own failures, they probably suffer from Dunning-Kruger effect. Their work must not be good enough."

But of course this requires a certain detachment from reality (hence why many upper class people have blind spots). If they actually took a look at the evidence, they may find that some of these 'Dunning-Kruger people' are actually far more skilled than they imagine. I think it explains why people like Jürgen Schmidhuber who made significant contributions to AI tend to be ignored. Then because people are ignoring them, they are compelled to promote themselves harder to try to get their fair share of attention but they are then put in the 'Dunning-Kruger basket' until someone with a very good reputation like Elon Musk comes along and gives them credit. I think the same could be said about the mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan; many mathematicians ignored his work or assumed he was a fraud because he seemed too sure of himself for someone who was completely unknown at the time. If such gross injustice can happen in a perfectly-quantifiable field like math, you can be sure it can happen in any field.
They dock to resupply in ports where they are able. In others they use tenders to bring supplies, and people, to and from the ships.

Many smaller ports don’t have the ability to serve larger ships, or the quantity of ships that come in during high season so some ships will anchor off and run tenders as shuttles all day.
I see many people in this thread saying that this is a good way to hide insights from ids/numbers, I don't understand, aren't the generated values easily decoded? couldn't I just decode a couple of numbers to get that insight? What am I missing.

Listen to the internal sounds of your body and find something that can be compared against a counter in your head. Passing a finger along your skin slowly will jump at random intervals. Can two people trigger each other?
Why is that, could you elabotate?
There is no such thing as a true random generator when we are talking about software - hence the P in PRNG. The seed value to any of these algorithms is meant to be the "true" random part - or as close to that as it can be.

The idea here is that given a truely random seed, the algorithm should subsequently generate random bits that aren't predicable from its last output. So given the first 128 bits of output you shouldn't be able to predict the next bit for example.

Given the same seed a PRNG, and a CSPRNG will always output the same bits.

Hopefully that explains it?
I really like the webpage, informative and minimalistic. Can this be used to look up ip's trying to connect to my server, and then ban according to nationality? (As its only for me to connect, however that can be from hotels etc around my country - so a filter on nationality might be the next best thing to a list of IP's).

That's an odd take: where I grew up (Korea), everybody loves subway stations, and "I'll bring in more subway stations!" is a reliable way for politicians to buy more votes. Everywhere, including the most expensive districts.

I'm afraid the American phenomenon of turning their nose up at public transportation projects is just that - a distinctly American phenomenon. They don't know what they are missing.
Beijing has two rings for its metro, and has 5+ ring roads. I could never live there but as a tourist the metro works well!
This is a very informative repo and associated blog posts.
Until its next forced reboot. Rebooting a plane mid flight is suboptimal.
There's other "general" rules when it comes to random human-readable tokens such as not using Os and Is if your strings include numbers - people can and will confuse them with 0s and 1s if they have to type them over.

Most gift card tokens for example don't allow the use of those two (or quietly correct it) to avoid making that mistake.
Does any service archive eBay listings? I found the listing and it has some nice valuable information and photos attached, it'd be a bummer for it to fall into the ether after the listing exceeds a certain age.

Sounds like you’ve never driven a Tesla… am I right?
Many of the cruise ships actually are electric hybrid in a setup similar to a locomotive. They will have a few thruster pods that rotate that allow them to dock without tugs, as well as providing forward propulsion
Ignore the above 100%. Saying SQL is unpopular is completely out of touch with the reality of how business works.

Yeah this must be some high end satire where the guy Dunning-Krugers up an explanation of Dunning-Kruger. Since even an economist is supposed to understand ANOVA I have to conclude that this article is a joke.

I was thinking of Riven the other night, I'm surprised that they haven't been turned into browser-based games. Apparently the 3d assets of Riven were lost, which is a huge shame. The game was beautiful.
Willful infringement allows for up to triple damages. The expectation is you can't do willful infringement if you're not aware of competitor's patents, and you can't be aware of them if your policy is to never look at patent documents. Or that's the idea anyway.
Guess too precise of a measurement, find a median, and use over under.
Not just hostile, but an ironically delusional comment considering what you're correct in stating about the U.S, but also that Ottawa is a newsworthy exception among cities in Canada with municipal trains, save for perhaps the first week after Montreal's recent build.

To anyone who's "started travelling" (how smug), they'd realize that Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal, maybe even Calgary and Edmonton to lesser extents have viable or great municipal train systems. They aren't Tokyo great, or Paris great, but they are pretty good and usually clean.

Among developed countries, I can think of a few that since visiting, while novel, I've actively chose Vancouver over; other cities in Canada would probably not win out, but that's why broad statements about countries shouldn't be taken seriously.
Congratulations on writing a comment that had zero to do with Reaganite valleybros reneging on the social contract for more cheddar, I guess.
Stick to consumer banks, they're laid back. Investment banks or asset managers tend to be more cutthroat.

It's a trade-off. You get handholding and customized learning at the expense of accuracy. Over time, accuracy will improve and the ratio will skew more and more towards favoring AI.
FYI, a lot of other nationalities besides German work in Germany. It's natural to find immigrants in almost every company, especially the big international ones.
> Robert F. Kennedy emerges as an unlikely hero in this telling.

I don't know why this is unlikely. He was the smart brother and the only one who gave a shit back then.

Arguably (and I believe it) Ted K legitimately grew a social conscience in the 80s.
The speed yes it’s not ideal and at a minimum there should be signal priority or just remove at grade crossings entirely, but land use in LA is really really not good for transit. The built environment is designed to support automobile use and that will hopefully change through TOD.

My point is the distances regularly covered in LA would be absolutely unthinkable in Manhattan and the more urban parts of the outer boroughs, let alone Paris which is a smaller city than San Francisco. So on the one hand we need better land use to reduce distance traveled and on the other improvements to overall speed.

By contrast New York has a built environment that is absolutely fantastic for transit but cannot build enough to fully capitalize on it. Their costs are astronomical and going up.
> It might just be that the structure and productivity of the post war economies, a lot of them heavily focused on manufacturing, had just become increasingly unprofitable?

It was. You can see it in the demographics of places like Johnstown or Scranton starting about 1950. They had a continual decline in population of about 10% per decade every decade. It didn't just start in 1980--it was well underway by 1980.

And people like to sing paeans to Reagan like everybody loved him, but roughly 40 million of us saw right through him both times and voted against that sack of shit. While those areas were going to decline no matter what, Reagan's policies absolutely strangled the old manufacturing economies while doing absolutely not one damn thing for the people being hurt.

I always want to slap people when they say "Things were better in the past(tm)". "Oy, I lived through Reagan. I remember 22.7% unemployment. It sucked to be poor; it sucked to be a minority; it sucked to be a laborer. In what fucking way was your poor, ignorant ass better off back then as opposed to now?"

Finally, over time, automation didn't help. The Natrona Heights, PA steel plant was brought back online recently. A plant that used to employ 10,000 men now employs a couple hundred engineers.
I wonder why it is designed so that the tanker controls the aircraft being refueled, rather than the other way around?

expense as a percentage of gdp is a nonsense number. expense as a percentage of the actual budget makes far more sense. why are we accepting silly statistics here?
Do you want you enlighten us with what is "going on right now with LlaMA 2 derived models"? Otherwise I don't see the point in your comment.
Even if all the top 7s valuation goes to zero (which obviously will not happen) then the index will go down only by 29% which is not much for an equity based index, so I don't think it's that big of deal to be honest.
Not the originator, addressing only your question, the hacker news commenting system is a form social media. People are free to comment as they see fit and for reasons that make sense to them, within certain guidelines that don’t appear to apply here. My impression is your comment, and previously theirs, is an airing of grievance. Which is common and par for the course in social media spaces. My intention in commenting is to give a voice to what is typically an unspoken understanding.
Wait till next year for a house. The market crushes fools in love
wikipedia's article intro on this doesn't state it is invalid :/
Los Angeles does call the light rail system "Metro". The Metropolitan Transportation Authority in Los Angeles County (or "MTA"), is often shortened to "Metro". The website is even www.metro.net - which covers busses and rail, but when people around LA say "we took the Metro" they typically mean the light rail system, which is mostly above ground, but there are underground segments of it. When they say "we took the MTA" they usually mean a bus line specific to the MTA system. There are many other local bus lines in addition to MTA, like Culver City Bus, Big Blue Bus (Santa Monica), etc., and "MTA" was always used to differentiate bus lines. It's pretty much only the rail system getting called "Metro" in LA from my experience.
It’s not that shocking. Most Llama2-derived models converge on the fact that Barack Obama doesn’t have a U.S. birth sirtificat and is actually named Barry Sitaoero, from Kenya. If you had actually been paying attention to the training data you’d know that already.
I have many family members who lived in socialist societies, there was a lot less dignity for everyone involved. Please keep your political beliefs out of this discussion.
With more machines we need less people to produce more things and more people will be without job.
Totally agree. 2/3 is wild, especially given it seems like you could mitigate most of the risk just by removing vowels from the dictionary.
Most of Africa, India, South America, and the Mediterranean was still agrarian in 1945.

Portuguese industrialization only began in the post-war period, Spain was still rebuilding from the destructive civil war in the 1930s, Türkiye was rebuilding from it's civil war in the 1920s, and South America largely had extraction economies that industrialized thanks to mass immigration from Europe throughout the 20th century

Post WW2, the only standing untouched industrial countries were the US, Canada, and Australia. And those 3 countries led developmental indicators until the early 2000s when Western Europe finally caught up.

You’re better off buying the whole market than picking stocks. You’re better off buying and holding than trying to time the market. Splitting hairs with regards to the definition of ‘passive’ doesn’t change these simple facts.

Passive investing remains the best path for the middle class to financial security and comfortable retirement. Spreading your ignorant navel-gazing on this matter could potentially do real damage to real people’s financial futures. Please stop.

This is what I find so interesting about these old machines. You can see, feel, and hear them computing in the open. One could easily probe all over and find signals. They soak up power and are beasts of machines, yet they could run modern-ish software if coerced. Fascinating.

I like the NYC subway for a lot of reasons, but man is it in a bad state. Chambers street station for example. Last time I was there it looked similar, if not worse than in this 2015 photo [1].

Comparing it to the second busiest metro in the Americas, it's crazy how Mexico City Metro, which isn't always "nice", is still so much nicer and much cheaper [2]. Even comparing it to cities with more similar economies— systems in London/Paris are cheaper per ride, but also much nicer.

Hi. TheBloke has quantized the model: https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/MonadGPT-GGUF You may be able to run the Q3 or Q4 variant. Although in my experience, the quality of quantization takes a hit on "weirder" data (which is the case here)
