Yes I know what you mean. The heart rate thing is closest to a problem to solve, although probably a problem that needs a doctor involved. I think it could be useful and would probably pay for something that did it well myself. The reason is for chronic fatigue it is an interesting metric to follow. Say I am at the gym I can be warned to sit down for 20 minutes before carrying on.

I find with tech problems I have at work, the way I want to solve it is to ditch all the damn complexity :-). Maybe the solution is a book on how to convince your org to KISS lol.

Best of luck friend. As mentioned in my other reply, it works best with some therapy to help process while you're focusing on the issue, and it works best on more acute trauma, but I've found it helps at least a good bit with everything. After all how many famous thinkers espoused the value of walking to help them think?

It really helped me think about the issues as healthily as they could be, and it severely diminished the constant presence of them in my thoughts. I hope it helps you.
This is the sunk costs fallacy and cognitive dissonance at work in the Japanese industrial base-government grand corporate vision obsessed with creating an unnecessary, parallel utility infrastructure that's lossier because of more steps than EVs. The world is already at 30% renewable electricity production and increasing rapidly. That trend should continue rather than build something that is redundant and lacks undeniable advantages over EVs. (Most of Japan doesn't really need FF-like range.)
nope. get content at a local library and burn a backup copy, in case the library burns down or something. You're doing them a favor.
Hey! Great question! That's what I'm confused about as well!

So in GPUs the goal is to saturate the GPU with matrix multiplies instead of data movement. I'll write a more detailed blog but approximately:

1. Flash Attention v2 reduces the time taken by 17% or so

2. RoPE Triton kernels: -7.1%

3. RMS Layernorm in Triton: -3.1%

4. Cross Entropy in Triton: -1%

5. Manual autograd for MLP: -4%

6. Manual QKV autograd: -2%

7. Manual O autograd: -2%

8. Smart cache evictions and reduced data duplications etc: -30%

9. And other tricks in the Max and Pro versions makes it 30x faster

You can see it's just tricks in each step, which accumulate together to make to go faster.

I'll write up a blog post to detail it all in the future!!!

If you want unfuckable metrics, look at cash flow. Uber's operations are cash-flow positive [1].

> Imagine if dating apps paid you to keep your profile active even if you have no interest in meeting anyone. They pay you $5/month per match with a minimum of 5 messages before ghosting. It keeps lonely men on the platform. For some people, OnlyFans chat is no different.

What many dating apps do is very close to this. They encourage fake female accounts to keep men on the platform, and what you are being shown is fake/inactive to a large extent. LLMs are the next step of this, I wouldn't be surprised if there are already tons of them. The dating app business is one of the most scammy businesses that exist.

There are some exceptions to this (mostly specific local apps), but they are far and few between.

Indeed. Washington is the state where EVs have the most advantage. A while back I did a comparison between a Chevy Bolt EV and similar non-hybrid ICE cars. EV wins on energy costs per unit distance whenever G/E > 9.4, where G is the cost of gas in $/gal and E is the cost of electricity in $/kWh.

G/E is around 36 right now in Western Washington.

Even in the state with the lowest G/E, Hawaii, G/E > 11 so EV wins.
Here is a specific example, again using Python, of how a programming language not designed for WASM might not be ideal: suppose you are writing a Python script which is to be compiled to WASM and needs to import a function. How do you specify that in the script? There could be some Python function like `wasm_import("my_function", "u32", ["u32"])`, which allows the programmer to specify a function to be imported... and the problem with that is that in Python everything normally happens at runtime, but the compiler which is turning your script into a .wasm file needs to know in advance what functions you are going to import. So you face a dilemma: either you mess with the fundamental assumption of Python that everything happens at runtime, or you add new syntax which allows specifying metadata, or you use magic comments, or do some other hacky thing.

This might seem strange to those who are used to today's dominant WASM paradigm, where the programmer usually controls both the VM and the .wasm program — such as website developers who create a .wasm file and then also write the Javascript to load it into the browser. But one of the most exciting things about WASM, to me, is the potential for domain-specific execution environments in which the code which loads and executes the WASM is written much earlier and by a different entity than whoever writes the WASM.
Superintelligence is a hypothetical. They can say whatever they want and make claims as to future performance. It doesn’t make it so.
I like this idea, and it would scratch my own itch - what if I forget to check my calendar in the morning but I have an 8 am meeting I have to attend? This could be done by rules, but maybe the LLM can give an natural language interface. "Alert me one hour before, for meetings booked by someone else that are before 10am"

The whole "alert me about X" but don't want alarms blaring off all day.

From TFA, on Parfit's book "Reasons and Persons":

>> The book runs about 500 pages and presents an eclectic variety of arguments, many of them destructive in intent. Parfit seeks to undermine—among other things—the preeminence of special duties to those close to us, the rational basis for the fear of death, the existence of the soul, that each person is a separate individual, that people exist independently of social conventions, and that people deserve praise or blame for their actions.

Reasons & Persons was life-changing for me, esp Part II, that deals with the above, personal identity. Ultimately his philosophy is very consistent with Theravada Buddhism. Much of pre-20th century western philosophy pre-Parfit seems like a category error when compared to Buddhism. I say that as an armchair philosopher recognizing it's likely a gross over-simplification.
XState creator here!

I love that use-case. We have plenty of developers & companies using XState on the backend, and one of our main goals for XState v5 was to enable more backend use-cases, with custom & composable actor logic, deep persistence, inspection APIs, and actor-first statechart features for modeling more complex actor-actor interaction.

Ultimately, we'd love to be an open-source alternative to AWS Step Functions.

> firms that make profits on paper without the cash flow to back it

Uber is cash-flow positive [1].

Due to stock-based compensation, many profitable tech firms hit this metric before GAAP. Put another way, if you owned the entire business, you could sustainably extract those profits.

I'm pretty sure unless you just forgot to write the part where you fuss with the partition flags and possibly EFI variables, you just rendered the machine unbootable.

Also, where did boot2 come from? Because a lot of these machines don't have free space sitting around, and some of them are still using MBR partitions and don't even have the ability to create a new partition. (You might well object that nobody even makes machines with bios boot anymore and surely everybody must be using GPT, at which point I get to gesture at the astonishing number of cloud virtual machines that are somehow not even capable of UEFI booting)

Exactly right, the idea is basically to force the processing that happens during that rem phase.

That's done, Hartman theorizes, and I forgot the level of basis in empirics he has, by doing anything that facilitates both sides of your brain working together. That's easiest done by walking, since you really are forcing both sides to communicate to facilitate the motion. Then thinking and focusing on the trauma/loss basically mimics the processing done during that rem processing.

Bazel only works if you have a dedicated bazel team to handle it. In general it's shit. Avoid, I hate bazel.
In the "on top of WASM" case, I imagine that the advantage of Python and JS will be exactly the same as the "not on top of WASM case". Namely, mainly development convenience at the cost of performance.

PHOSPHOR | Remote | New York, NY

Hiring: CTO, Staff/Senior UI Engineers, AI Engineer

Stack: Elm/React, Tailwind, F#, Rust, exploring local-first solutions

PHOSPHOR (http://phosphor.co/20x) has solved the last "impossible" technology problem in capital markets.

We've represented financial models AND contracts as structured, computable data, and we've done so without sacrificing flexibility afforded by Excel or Word. This has never been done, and it enables product opportunities that have never been conceivable before: we have the first real view towards AI that does not hallucinate in the most business critical mediums in finance.

I founded Phosphor after building one of the leading clean energy investment platforms in the US as first hire. Phosphor was originally a clean energy finance product, but then we solved a much deeper set of problems. Over three years, I've led three senior engineers as CEO/CTO while we've worked (in stealth) through mind-boggling R&D problems in computable contracts and linguistics.

As we focus on commercialization & launch over the next few months, I'm seeking senior product/UI engineers, and I'm beginning a CTO search in hopes of finding a senior technical leader to take the reigns and partner with me to build something OpenAI-scale.

For the adventurous of you, resumes to oliver@phosphor.co. Please mention HN in the subject line.

The question here is not whether they have a right to use it, but whether they should have a right. All rights are invented, created essentially out of thin air, to protect things people care sufficiently about. All rights were at some point not rights.

Yes, but you were also saying that it would be that way in 5 years, and if you look at the cases for which these tools were practical at the start of 2023 compared to the practical applications now, not even a full year of progress, the relevance of your argument to the reality of the scene is not clear.

They say it’s due a custom optimized version of autograd which is sort of a key calculus component. They also mention simple things like function inlining or memory optimizations. It seems plausible these things could be optimized.

Whatever advantage they have I don’t see how they would be able to to keep it for long as part of their closed source “pro” version.

If it’s low hanging fruit the open source equivalents are bound to snipe them before long.
That's probably a fair assessment at some level, but I think treating kith and kin kindly is a different skill than drawing ethical conclusions about society.

The latter leans on complex reasoning, understanding of interconnected systems, and rational empathy for a faceless stranger. The former requires emotional intelligence, understanding the inner lives of yourself and others, and emotional empathy for a loved one standing in front of you.

Some people can make 'good' large-scale ethical conclusions when in a calm room by themselves, and can also be unkind to ones they love when in emotional situations.

Conditional probabilities are probabilistic. If you ask again you might get a different answer. The most likely answer is a single sample. It often isn't actually the result you want, it often has a much lower probability of occurring than your intuition would suggest, and even if it's correct once it's often not something you would appreciate appearing repeatedly if you re-asked the same question.

I can add more details/comparisons/nuance/explanations/... if you're curious why that matters, but hopefully the distinction is clear now?

You don't need a big one, even an old 4GB GPU will massively accelerate the prompt ingestion.
I'm involved in the project.

The temporal columns are intrinsic to Endb, but they are completely optional. By default, Endb queries run as-of-now, which then return the same results one would expect from a regular Postgres database.

Postgres temporal tables can't make Postgres natively aware of time, so temporal queries tend to be awkward, even if you want the default as-of-now result.

There are temporally-aware databases (SAP HANA, MySQL, SQL Server), but they all treat time as an additional concept layered on top of SQL-92 via SQL:2011. It's difficult for a mutable database to assume immutability or a timeline without becoming another product.

`entity_history` and similar audit tables aren't comparable at all, since they don't even involve the same entity/table, which means all querying of history is manual. Indexing of audit tables is at least a bit easier than the SQL:2011 temporal solutions mentioned above, though.

In all these cases, schema is still an issue that needs to be resolved somehow, since (again) incumbent relational databases assume a Schema First approach to table layout. Endb is Schema Last and allows strongly-typed nested data by default.

The Endb demo is pretty recent, and explains all of this in more detail, with examples:

>you just rendered the machine unbootable.

Only because Linux bootloaders suck as they completely fall over when misconfigured. It was implied that you update the configuration of the bootloader to be able to find the new partition that holds /boot. You would also want to format the former boot partition so that you can reuse for other stuff.

>Also, where did boot2 come from?

The cp command creates it
