>I'll just keep my private comms off email.

It's not just about keeping your private communication private, it's about relying on your e-mail address being there. As long as you use someone elses domain you're vulnerable.

The big providers can shut it down whenever they want.

One solution is to use a custom domain that guarantees some sort of ownership. For example certain ccTLDs have more protection for private owners of their domains. And then use providers who support custom domains.
Yup, they were mentioned:

Nuanced and unbiased conversation is much needed in this world, and having multiple viewpoints from people with different biases helps us all.
The cost of planning an assassination is not the same thing as the cost (and risk) of carrying out an assassination, what a stupid take.
Better still, in a young expanding universe (that still may yet some day contract) the visible horizon includes less than it once did as the mean distance between matter has increased.
The company was supposed to be funded by Elon who pledged a billion. Then he bailed when his coup failed. Sam Altman had to find a sponsor, or have the company go bankrupt in a matter of weeks.

What's hard to comprehend here?

As for the models topping your Hugging Face chart, they're literally all funded (by the billion) by private enterprises and the US govt. It's baffling to me how this is supposed to be an argument in your favor. Even the "not by an unattainable margin" comment makes no sense, unless you think getting from 40% to 60% is as easy as getting from 60% to 80%, and then getting from 80% to 100%. Which you clearly seem to think.

Anthropic's models are closed and funded by the money of Sam Bankman-Fried, of all people, and more recently Amazon. They're trying to raise billions more from Google and others. That's your idea of being open and not needing corporate investment for some reason? LOL, oh my god.

The "free" model you're citing is MADE BY META, a company worth almost a trillion dollars, and which has the largest social media presence in the world, from which to mine data.

You have absolutely not even the faintest idea what you're talking about.

Yep. Studies on helmet usage in skiing and snowboarding showed that as helmet usage became more common, brain injuries increased. People felt more protected and thus took more risks.
You can click "derivation" to see the exact process it was derived. It's the first term of a taylor series expansion around x = 0, which is indeed f(0) = 1/sqrt(9*0-6) = sqrt(-1/6). I'm not sure why x was chosen outside of its input domain though.

----

ADDED LATER: I think I have the answer. Herbie seems to always assume x = 0, but there are a fixed set of transformations to get around that fact. Currently it only tries f(x), 1/f(x) and 1/-f(x) [1].

> Maybe there aren’t any value options that provide a speedup, but the tool allows increasingly reduced accuracy (down to zero) until it finds a speedup?

AFAIK Herbie works by trying a bunch of transformations to get candidate expressions and evaluate them to get the pareto frontier. So if there is a single constant expression generated, it will always be available as the worst alternative.
I’m sorry, but were they invited? What manner of awful attention seeking…
The command line tool generated a message using the old format, it was one byte short (missing the 'withdraw on suspend' flag). By the time the message got to the matching engine, the engine looked at the byte on the end of the withdraw message and it randomly happened to be true.
The fix, at the time, was to add a 'N' to the end of the message the command line tool generated.

Later I re-wrote everything to use a compiler generated message encoder and decoder, SNACC ASN.1 (Something like protobuffers, as invented again by Google, which was also invented the first time by Sun as XDR/RPC, that was also invented for the first time as CORBA. I think MS invented it as well for COM).

I have a couple of excellent mechanics on speed-dial, but they couldn’t have done any better here, and I wouldn’t have gotten the work partially reimbursed, nor would Honda have bought the car back after the damage if it had been a 3rd party. It turned out to be really useful in my case that Honda was the one that tried to fix it, and the dealer admitted the problem was out of our control.
Hey HN, hoping to get some traction o my home mushroom growing kit.. thanks!
Indeed - that's why I didn't deny above that Kissinger was interesting; he was a deep thinker, and I can see the motive behind many of his decisions, though I don't agree with it. Likewise I read Nixon and many other people whose politics I find disagreeable or even atrocious. What I dislike about Kissinger are both his extremely cynical strategic policies and that in the ~50 years since, he appears to have spent most of his time defending those policies and the ideas behind them, while making little or no effort to mitigate the negative outcomes.
This is totally stupid and illogical. The fact that you already paid some money for the other people doesn’t necessarily give you any reason why you should pay more for another expense, big or small.

Again, none of you guys seems to care about the reason and just want the conclusion.
Brush up on your Jules Verne - clearly the solution is (perhaps not so much) a giant cannon....
The reason why you don’t need some big, formal JSON schema (though they do exist) is because you can notate most of the constraints people care about in TypeScript. It’s just a bunch of structs, arrays, string enums, etc. XML doesn’t really have a nice mapping to type systems like that so it needs schemas.

My coup de grace against XML is that it is wholly unsuitable for serializing arbitrary strings in most programming languages. It’s defeated by quite simple strings like “hello\0world”. You can’t just escape the null using &#; because the standard, in its infinite wisdom, forbids it. Instead, you’re just expected to come up with some completely non-standard way like <null-char /> or just interpret “\0” specially in your application code. Meanwhile, JSON just lets you put pretty much whatever Unicode you want into a string with a standard way of escaping characters like the double quote.

The most surprising? Without a doubt. In that sense, very successful.

The most successful in terms of outcome? Short and medium term, clearly no. Long term? TBD.
Sounds like you're describing how English speakers treat Japanese loanwords, which sounds more relevant to the identity of English rather than Japanese.

From what I've heard, the Japanese has no qualms about importing English words or just making up "nonsensical" new English words to suit their needs.
Vercel is by far the best DX I’ve ever used, you can just feel they know and love their customers!

It’s also quite incredible with the speed of how they listen to feedback and improve (i.e with how quickly Bun was added).

Of couse you shouldn't just ignore it. What you should do is think a bit deeper than "X > Y so X = better". Included in the data is the fact that a BMW needs the maintenance it does, to rank where it ranks here, as its average owner maintain it as they do. The maintenance schedule and how the BMWs included in the statistics were maintained is likely different than on a Toyota, but following the maintenance schedule or not is up to you to decide. However, those who do not follow the maintenance schedule are included here as well as are those who service their BMW more than required.

If you are not average, expect results that are not average. That goes both ways.
It starts to get more annoying than "X considered harmful".
The US was behind the USSR on space technology at the start of the 1960's and had no idea how far behind they might be. By elevating the space program Kennedy (et al.) closed the gap, got ahead and stayed ahead.
On the other hand, the amount of foreign (english) words 'katakanized' and used everyday is astounding.

Making Visual Anagrams
I think this is Torvalds’ true genius: creating an OS as different as possible from UNIX while being compatible with it.
A shadowy character. For all his public appearances brokering Peace Deals, he engineered military coups all over Latin America in the 70s (Allendes government for one) and helped set up “School of the Americas” in Panama, where the US trained military juntas how to fight leftist “insurgency”(or civilian opposition, depending who you ask). A lot of the torturing and dirty wars that crippled Latam for 15 years is his doing.

While I recognize a number of good deeds he pulled, I get upset when his shadowy part gets untold.

Not much similar. Mazda is known for new engine architecture since 2010s. Subaru is known for stucked at boxer architecture.

I'm really at a loss of words. There is only one lesson from this incident: nobody is supposed to touch a 500M piece of equipment after 12 hours of work. Period. The author is not getting it, and nobody in the comments. The world is run by idiots and it shows.
Sure, though most of the interesting things you can do with AI require access to lots of your data and the internet. If you give it access to sensitive data and a network connection you open the possibility of it exfiltrating that data.
Aside from the alternative, there's not much room to optimize that function. 1/sqrt(x) has pretty good approximations (e.g. fast inverse sqrt, reciprocal sqrt instructions) and 9x-6 is just FMA. A quick test with compiler explorer [1] shows 4 instructions, and you could probably do 3 with judicious instruction set choice and/or no regard for performance. Even a lookup table could be slower in practice, depending on what the rest of the program looks like.

I don't know of any car from that period that don't have electronics, they all have a bunch of sensors (lambda probe and whatnot), an ECU, ABS and ESP. Or maybe by electronics you mean the various fancy assists like lane keeping and whatnot?

That said this electronics is rock solid, my '08 Civic Type-R is basically pristine mechanically and after 15 years only required maintenance of wear parts. The paint job though has time taking its toll, as varnish is peeling off in various places. Still with proper care I expect the car to last another 15 years without breaking a sweat.
An actor, playing his part, very Shakespearean.
Rhetoric can be used to craft any message, no matter how absurd. Eloquent defenses exist for all of the most heinous actions by men. We have to assess the viewpoint before we grant it legitimacy, not absorb it simply because it exists.
Now judge every US president and Secretary of State by the same criteria.

Kissinger might be worse than average but he certainly isn't exceptional.
It's a bit different to have an instance always prepared for your use and to use a shared infrastructure. The latter could pretty much always expect at least a few percent use, which would reduce price.
I noticed that too, but I am questioning myself. I’m wondering how much other people’s driving has gotten worse, vs me getting older, more defensive and risk averse, and noticing such driving. If I look back to my 20s, I was not an exemplary driver.
I agree in part. But my question was basically this: when Hamas is eliminated and less extreme groups come to power, but are still committed to armed struggle … how should they proceed? Would it be legitimate to use guerilla tactics like the French resistance?
90s Tacoma were the same size as the Ranger. Unfortunately, as you have found, nobody makes a 90s size small truck anymore.
Ah if only it were that simple, truth is a company, especially old ones, have a value function that is in flux, and this may include revenue generation but more often than not this is completed or replaced by replaced by some variation of political clout acquisition: it makes them unkillable even with a negative balance sheet.
OP here. This just made me facepalm. I set it up so early on in the project I forgot to mention it. Will update.
If you listen to Nixon’s tapes, there are many instances where Nixon makes outrageously antisemitic comments, and Kissinger (who was Jewish himself), ever the brown-noser, agrees and responds with an even more outlandish one.
Lexus is Toyota’s up brand, like Acura is for Honda and Audi is for VW. They share parts, designs, often factories, but just better interiors, higher end engines, exterior trims, etc…
You do pay for that through tax. And yes it costs money to maintain clean air, at least in urban settings.
What would someone do with one of these?
> There doesn’t seem to be anything in this entire drama and the secrecy around it that indicates that things are good or healthy within the company.

The drama reflects well on OpenAI’s in-dev technology (be it Q* or GPT5 or something else). Apparently many actors believe that the stakes are high.

We can also see that the employees are aligned regarding the path they want the company to take.
People keep saying that training is tricky, which is true, you need people with experience, but they're not so rare that this will present a moat forever since you can very much hire the people who know how to do this.

My experience with ML projects is that while there is churn in the modeling, most of the effort for a long lived system still goes into the data, but engineers really want to work on the modeling/infra pieces much more than data quality.

Which is to say, I have a lot of skepticism that this is a long term business.
Amazon launches own image generation service
Nice.. played that on Atari ST as a kid. Then later in school there was a very old IBM PC in some corner and we were sometimes huddled around it to play Ballerburg.. good times.
If it is really agi that will be the result. Nobody likes to be asked the same question a hundred times.
Yes, but I thought it was Japanese culture that drives such adoption. Otherwise, it’s hard to explain why English vocabulary does not include many modern Chinese words in similar fashion, but does include a number of Cantonese words.
In fairness, pasting as a metaphor works very poorly for what Unix used it for.
FWIW, as a EU-based contractor for an American company I can tell you that from my perspective the form of payment legally doesn't matter at all. I receive transfers from a European bank account registered with their EU subsidiary, but it's only because they happened to have one already. We could just use something simple like wise.com instead and I have already done it before.
> I'd like to be a purist about email, but I just can't bring myself to care, because as long as my correspondent is a corporate whore, why shouldn't I be too? A copy of the email is going to end up on their servers anyway.

No immediate confidentiality is achievable by using a trusted mail server while interacting with untrusted ones, but doing what seems right often works as an improvement. I find it analogous to, among other things, not throwing garbage on the ground: by carrying it to a trash bin, you don't make all streets clean at once, and it may be an inconvenience, but once more people do it, streets do become cleaner. And even if others keep just dumping trash on the ground, it may be nice to know that you don't contribute to the unpleasantness. Likewise with a multitude of other areas, including good practices in programming and administration, good manners: it is unfortunate that not everyone follows them, offsetting the effort put by those who do, but it is not necessarily a reason to give up.
My old W126 was an amazingly well built car. Very durable and reliable, extremely long lasting, very comfy, interesting to drive, and amazingly safe compared to other cars of that era. Mine was previously owned by a couple who just did bare-minimum maintenance and drove it 120k km over their 6 years of ownership. The car was 24 years old when they got it, and 30 years old when I bought it. I drove it many more years, and the only repairs I needed to do were fixing age related leaks, and replacing one relay.

The W126 was a fairly simple car though, compared to their modern offerings, and it was built under a philosophy of building the best car regardless of cost.

My W140 was a also a well made car, great quality in materials and mechanical fundamentals, but it was too complicated and quite a bit more problematic for me.

Modern Mercedes-Benz cars don't seem as distinguished or well built as their offerings from the 1980s. With that said, my C216 CL-class is a very well built car in terms of materials and general attention to detail; it's just too complicated with hurts its overall reliability (though the powertrain is decently solid).
And people are also winning the lottery. Both are irrelevant to the conversation. What do you think the chances of a random person on HN is going to interview at Amazon and make $900K? $450K? Heck even $350K without a lot of stock appreciation in their RSUs who has never worked at any large tech company?
> Also it suggests Alfa Romeo for reliability.

So? Are you saying that's wrong? Alfas are as reliable as the parts they are made of. One of the biggest weaknesses in many years in Alfas were the manual gearbox in the 159. It was from GM, not Alfa.

Is Alfa reliable? Depends. Compared to a Ford? Maybe, it depends. Compared to a Tesla? Yes, much much better.

It will come.

In fact, GPT is really good at correcting its code given the compiler output. We just need to automate that.

I think that this is not done yet because LLMs costs are O(n+1) so you really don’t want it to be stuck in some loop.
no, not using podman. i hear podman has performance issues with shared tmpfs volumes.
As one of the maintainers of Mailu, I'd say use Mailu!

Why? three main reasons: (a) security (as you have identified isolation matters, but that is not the only thing), (b) get the benefits of "battle-tested" setups and (c) features

On security: in its default config, Mailu scans emails for malicious macros via oletools (and optionally viruses via clamav). It also uses a hardened-malloc, Snuffleupagus (a security module for PHP), gates all PHP code behind an authentication wall (webmails), ... and does both DANE and MTA-STS validation to ensure your emails are delivered to the right place. The authentication stack handles "smart" rate-limiting: you get to limit the number of authentications with distinct credentials over a time-period (a misconfigured thick client won't trigger it), you have plenty of ways to avoid running into it (application tokens for thick clients, per-device cookies that give you a way out, whitelisting of "used" addresses, ...) and you also get to rate limit the number of sent emails (useful if a spammer gets their hands on the credentials of one of your users)

On the importance of "battle-testing" setups: well, there are plenty of non-subtle ways of breaking an email setup. Experience has shown that all the layers in the stack can be problematic... I can give you a bunch of examples of what we ran into recently if you want.

On features: your setup might be simpler but your users are missing out. Whether it's enhanced filtering (like with oletools), better indexing (full text search), indexing of attachments (with OCR! via Apache Tika), configuring server-side rules with managesieve or just "having an interface" to configure ooo, change their passwords, configure aliases or delegate permissions.

I have started spending time on Mailu because I don't like the bloat that comes with Mailcow. Give Mailu a shot; it is reasonably easy to debug when things go wrong (and not written in PHP :p).
Given that the "reduced" bandwidth is still more than double that of an Intel or AMD HEDT chip, you're still doing much better than you would with x86.

Intel and AMD both tend to choke bandwidth (memory and PCI lanes) on anything below their server chips.
