The vast majority of Italian culinary tradition stems from the late 19th century or after that. Dishes like carbonara are from the 50s. Pizza as we know it is from the US and was reintroduced to italy by American soldiers. Italians ate rice and beans, same as everyone else, before the

This is a bad comparison. One occurs when travelling in unpopulated areas. But most pedestrian fatalities occur in populated areas which should be safe for pedestrians (and historically were).
Thank you, but I am more interested in what can be the system architecture. It would be an obvious choice to push this to the client side, but with lower end decides it can be slow. If we push it to the server then the stream can have delay and it would cost a fortune.
No, to the specific question of making employees stay, that's not a thing that you can do outside of prisons. If employees want to leave they can leave. If they want to start the nonprofit from scratch, they can do that but employees cannot be stopped from leaving
What might be interesting to think about is the prevalence of human controlled drones in warfare today, in various environments and climates as we currently speak. Right now they require a human to operate and identify targets or perform defensive maneuvering. All of this videography is undoubtedly being logged and used for training more autonomously controlled drones. Eventually an operator would just deploy a swarm at a sector akin to flagging it for an air strike, and drones would eliminate anyone or anything of interest there.
That is highly likely to be the case. I no longer have access to take a look, but from my experience, it would be silly to do otherwise. There were a handful of other xSomething libraries that they had that were effectively wrappers or simplified versions of libSomething.
And we all know how reliable ESA landers are. The laughing stock of the industry.
Yes, but helping these people save face smoothes the transition. My guess is that those folks were waaay out of their depth and they naturally made naive mistakes. It doesn't benefit anyone to stomp on them. I'm sure they learned hard lessons, and Sam's message is what we call "grace", which is classy.

Is it politics? Sure, but only in the best sense. By not dunking on the losers, he builds trust and opens the doors for others to work with him. If you work with Sam and make a mistake, he's not going to blast you. It's one reason that there was such a rallying of support around Sam, because he's a bridge-builder, not a bridge-burner. Over time, those bridges add up.

Silicon Valley has a long memory and people will be working with each other for decades. Forgiving youthful mistakes is a big part of why the culture works so well.

The trick is finding the reviewer who has the same taste as you.

I used to have one in the local paper, he could rate movies as a representative of their genre, instead of comparing the latest Marvel AAA CGI fest to Fellini and being disappointed because the Marvel one wasn't as deep.

Now I've got a few reviewers on Youtube I "trust" and have seen some less known movies based on their positive non-spoiler reviews.
Sounds like the classic "See what you made me do!"
I thought the same! Maybe people who loves to eat bitter have a lower rate of cancer than the rest of us? I had been drinking bitter tea for a time. I don’t know if it has any health benefit but it kind of makes you addictive ;) Indeed, it is super bitter, half a leaf is enough for a full glass of hot water. However, after a while you will want to add more and more :D
Well, he did say that "power is the ultimate aphrodisiac."
What does "groom" mean to you, and in particular, is "groom" always a bad thing?

I ask because the word has a long history of being used like this:

"Born in Lisbon, Luís was educated in the Cortes, groomed for a career in the military." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lu%C3%ADs_Manuel_da_C%C3%A2mar...

"Born to an upper-class family, Zhou was groomed for politics" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chifeng_sui

"Though he was being groomed for a place in New York's legal establishment ..." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_DeSilver

"Scholars are groomed for the highest levels of command and management in the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) and beyond." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore_Armed_Forces_Oversea...

"As a younger son, he was groomed for a career in the church from an early age." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melchior_Zobel_von_Giebelstadt

On the other hand, if you think "groom" is always negative, then of course it's immoral.

Do recruiters stretch the truth and even lie? Yes. Do they use high-pressure sales techniques on teens? Yes.

"12 Military Recruiter Lies" - https://www.operationmilitarykids.org/12-military-recruiter-...

"Tracking military recruiter abuse / For one year, we documented reports of abuse, harassment, and misconduct by military recruiters. Here's what we found out and how we can stop it." - https://afsc.org/news/tracking-military-recruiter-abuse

As the latter points out, "a year of operating the Military Recruiter Abuse Hotline has shown us that it is all too common for young people to face harassment, lies, and other misconduct as they interact with recruiting stations. "

Yes, that is abuse and immoral.
It's usually bottlenecked by memory latency, not bandwidth. People talk about bandwidth, because it's a simple number that keeps growing over time. Latency stays at ~100 ns, because DRAM is not getting any faster. Bandwidth can become a real constraint if your single-threaded code is processing more than a couple of gigabytes per second. But it usually takes a lot of micro-optimization to do anything meaningful at such speeds.

Hard to find high-quality custom GPTs? We tested and collected them for you
With the help of GPTs builder, a custom GPTs can be created by anyone in less than 5 minutes. However, these low-personalization custom GPTs are not significantly different from the original ChatGPT.

If we don't see any difference in quality and don't see any time savings, why don't we simply use the original version of ChatGPT?

The most popular (widely used) GPTs may not necessarily be the best.

From just its name and a brief description, we can't know exactly how a custom GPT works.

That's why we make FeaturedGPTs.com.

We hand-picked and reviewed the best custom GPTs on the web.

We hope every ChatGPT pro user can easily find useful GPTs for their task.

If you excuse some speculation:
(clarifications appreciated of course.)

If i remember correctly, ages ago (Windows Server 2003?) Microsoft introduced in-kernel HTTP-handling for the IIS web-server. I think it was for performance improvements with less copying between kernel- and user-space memory.

I suspect the for me unknown WinHTTP apis mentioned here could use these optimizations? Maybe that's why they mention security requirements? (Which would obviously be needed when doing parsing in the kernel.)
First, I'm actually quite libertarian and capitalist -- although not necessarily so when it comes to companies working on powerful AI (or fighter jets for that matter). Here are some comments of mine from other discussions if you don't believe me:

* Expressing skepticism about unions in Sweden -- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38308184

* Arguing against central planning, with a link to a book detailing how socialism always fails -- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38303195

* I often push back against the "greedy corrupt American plutocrats" narrative which you see all over HN. Here are a few examples -- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37541805 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37962796 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38456106

And by the way, here is a comment I made the other day making essentially the point you are making, that in a democracy everyone is entitled to their opinion, even the dastardly Elon Musk: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38261265 And I also argue in favor of freedom of speech here, for whatever that's worth: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37713086

Point being, I'm not sure our disagreement lies where you think it does.

The purpose of the board is that they're supposed to be disinterested representatives of humanity, supervising OpenAI. The employees aren't chosen for being disinterested, and it seems quite likely that they are, in fact, interested, per my link.

From the perspective of human benefit (or from the perspective of my own financial stake in OpenAI, given that their charter says their "primary fiduciary duty is to humanity"), I prefer a small group of thoughtful, disinterested people over a slightly larger group whose interest is systematically biased relative to the interest of me or the average person. Which is more likely to produce a fair trial: a jury of 12 randomly chosen citizens, or a jury of 1200 mafiosos?
Thanks for this, very interesting.
It's hilarious that someone that says it's in Ukraine, "country at war", writes that God bless an state that has brought that same war to hundreds of places in the world. In an article discussing an incident where the country that God should bless killed 290 innocent civilians because they wanted to. Not very different from Russia to me.

Regarding hierarchy, I have an anecdote about India. A manager told me that western teams are more likely to challenge a ticket than Indian teams, who hesitate to do that and are more likely to power through. His theory is that the culture makes it disrespectful to question the upper hierarchy, given its caste system, and causes a clash with western culture.

His solution was to communicate much more actively with the Indian team, to try to squeeze more feedback that they would hesitate to give at first.
Do you honestly think that he doesn't care about huge drops in advertising revenue?

I have access to an internet browser. How can I see that? Who orchestrated it? Which companies were coordinating things together?

How do you know that? What was wrong with their reporting?

Then we should stop teaching Therac-25 incident to developers and remove envelope protection from planes and safety checks from nuclear reactors.

Because, users should just input the moral inputs to these things. These are inanimate objects too.

Oh, while we're at it, we should also remove battery charge controllers. Just do the moral and civic thing and unplug when your device charges.
This has to be one of the laziest strawmen replies I ever got.
Very few people "understand" git outside of the core development team.

People do know how to use git in their day to day life. Clone, pull, push, maybe a cheeky rebase if they're up for it.

But bisecting and all that deep level stuff? No way an "average developer" will do that without prompted.

I consider myself a senior developer and in many cases I just resort to re-cloning the repository and copying my changes over to it by hand instead of spending time fighting git tooling to get everything done Properly. My way is faster and I can go on with my day.
They say that once a metric becomes a target it’s no longer a useful metric, but I really do wonder how bad the world would be if life expectancy, depression rates, and literacy rates were headline stats rather than GDP.

Measured accurately, is life expectancy really something we should worry could be “gamed”? The easiest way to improve life expectancy is to prevent babies from dying, which sounds like a laudable goal.
oh sorry - I didn't mean it in a nefarious way at all

I think it's just human nature to not hire people you feel you won't get along with. If you're deeply involved in all your hires, then I feel you'll end up with an organization full of people that you get along with and who you like (and probably like you back). I wouldn't go so far as to say it'd make a personality cult - though with their lofty mission statements and ambitions to make the world better.. who knows. Not going to psychoanalyze a bunch of people I don't know

"I've hired people I "don't like" on a personal level."

I'm honestly impressed... I feel that's rather exceptional. I feel a lot of hiring goes on "gut feeling"

The security requirements are more due to trying to keep nasty things from being downloaded in the context of a game running on the Xbox. Games tend to run at fairly high privilege levels on Xbox, so Microsoft is probably worried mainly about jailbreaks.
Python is a high-level, interpreted, and general-purpose programming language known for its readability and ease of use.

Thank you. I thought my eyes were the problem. But I noticed meeting olders cars is not as bad.
The Sorkin guy said maybe advertisers don’t want to be associated with it, and he said “let’s see what the courts say“.

So he’s going to sue people for not advertising with him? How can anyone who says this kind of thing claim to believe in free markets, libertarianism or capitalism?
It's just the spin of it that threw me off. You're right: "why is a C implementation so much faster than a widely used Rust implementation" is a valid and interesting question. But phrasing it as "why is a Python function faster than a Rust function", when it's clearly not the comparison at all, distracts from the real question.
This is an assumption, so may not be how they do it - but I'd assume you'd push it client side and the client doesn't have the hardware or power to do an option then you don't give it to them on that device.
I had been drinking bitter tea for quite a time. I don’t know if it has any health benefit but it kind of makes you addictive ;) Indeed, it is super bitter, half a leaf is enough for a full glass of hot water. However, after a while you will want to add more and more :D

I wonder if bitter food and drink can activate the bitter taste receptor as well. Maybe people who loves to eat bitter have a lower rate of cancer than the rest of us?
Out of curiosity I asked ChatGpt 4 to write an obituary for him and it refused as it would insensitive or disrespectful. I told it he had passed away, it checked the internet and wrote the obituary. The power of ChatGPT continues to amaze me.
>In general a podcast series will be started after the hosts have researched the subject, and decided they have an angle to present it to their public. Following them while doing their research could be interesting at small doses, but the number of absolute non stories or boring conclusions would be staggering and they'd need to be crazy entertaining by themselves to keep a whole podcast going on that pace.

This is false. Age of Napoleon is quite good at presenting the factual history of its topic and then weighing dual interpretations of events. He highlights that something is his opinion when he gives it. The result is a wildly engaging podcast.

Hell, he's an avowed Marxist, which is a belief system I find repugnant. However, other than one or two clearly labeled bonus interview episodes, his views are AFAICT, totally absent from his presentation of history. He strives very hard to not tell you what to think.

It is disheartening that you believe information must be presented with an agenda.
If you are uncomfortable with OAI you could always get the same from Azure. They're a bit behind on the latest, but they support gpt4 and function calling, which is all that really matters now, imo.
I would say the distribution is a symptom. In a country where billionaires are blasting themselves into space we can afford to house the 600k homeless (including children). If the 0.001% can figure out how to accomplish that I don’t care what the overall distribution looks like.
If you don't intend to keep them fully stock there are modern solid-state drop-in replacements for reasonable prices! Given that they are fairly simple cars building one yourself from common electronic parts would not be too difficult either.
Aha!

Sort of like Vader showing off the Death Star on Alderaan.

My counterpoint to this is there have always been a ton of bad drivers. The most important skill to have is to be a predictable driver. Bad drivers will always exist. You cannot change them, and the great number of them is not likely to drop to 0 overnight.

The best thing you can do is drive in a way that even bad drivers expect. Be a speed-limited, blinker-indicating, cautious log in the river. They will parkour around you and you will be fine. Greatly limit your reactions to things. If you freak out, others around you will freak out. Bad drivers cause okay drivers to perform worse. Herd mentality.

(Obvious disclaimer: The best defensive driving in the world won't prevent all accidents)
Oh please. Look and see some example Mandarin and Cantonese words loaned to English. [1] They also have your Japanese examples in there.

Want more counterexamples? Probably literally every Italian food: spaghetti, pizza, ravioli...

To me, this is just more evidence for how strong this meme of Japanese uniqueness, coolness, "sugoi kawaii desune~~ ^-^" is. I'm not bashing people who think Japan is cool. But I do think it's weird how they can't recognize it's just a meme, to the point of fetishization.

He seems to contradict himself. On one hand he says “fuck you“ to anybody pulling advertising like he’s throwing caution to the wind because he just doesn’t care, but on the other hand, he says the company is doomed if advertisers pull out, and that seems to really upset him.

So… Twitter is shutting down? There’s really no other plan other than blaming advertisers for pulling out, and ranting about how earth will judge them?
The sanctions are here to stay. The USA wants to make China capitulate. There is an economic war against China. When you cannot win by merit, you invent excuses to slap sanctions.

You know, most people don't have 24+GB GPUs sitting around to train these models. So in my book this is a huge step forward. Personally, this is the first time i am able to run an LLM on my computer, and it's purely thanks to this.
Not even necessarily a protest. Some of them may not care about whether Twitter changes itself or not, they just want out. Nobody is obliged to advertise on Twitter.
As far as I know, it's because China does not have access to the latest fab equipment from ASML and have to use an older technology to manufacture their chips.

"zip" as a metaphor for compressing something makes even less sense than the zip in functional programming - actually "zip" for compression doesn't make any sense at all. But maybe zip in the context of compression was never meant as a metaphor.
I mean, those are not new words. Languages more often than not take the foreign name of a new discovery/item/concept, and Japanese is no different. As sibling commenter mentions, they have a huge amount of English words written with katakanas.

Some languages had periods where they tried finding a new, “pure” name for a foreign concept/item, but these have varied success rates, and often sound idiotic to native speakers, and they don’t see the point.
Maybe "join" like in databases?

How do you folks manage NixOS from a security/compliance perspective? I'm currently considering NixOS for a few test services in my company, and security/compliance is the biggest obstacle. Have you had to develop your own tooling for this?

To expand on it further: NixOS has modules and packages that come straight from Nixpkgs, and there are concerns with supply chain attacks because of that. How does your company solve this?
The amount of anxiety that imagining playing this game gives me is considerable. Very cool idea though.
Would you rather:

1) be surprised by and unprepared for AGI and every step on the path to that goal, or

2) have the developers of every AI examine their work for its potential impact, both when used as intended and when misused, with regard to all the known ways even non-G AI can already go wrong: bugs, making stuff up, reward hacking, domain shift, etc.; or economically speaking how many people will be made unemployed by just a fully [G]eneral self-driving AI? What happens if this is deployed over one year? Do existing LLMs get used by SEO to systematically undermine the assumptions behind Page rank and thus web search?; and culturally: how much economic harm do artists really suffer from Diffusion models? Are harms caused by AI porn unavoidable thanks to human psychology, or artefacts of out milieu that will disappear as people become accustomed to it?

There's also a definition problem for AGI, with a lot of people using a standard I'd reserve for ASI. Also some people think an AGI would have to be conscious, I don't know why.

The best outcome is Fully Automated Luxury Communism, but assuming the best outcome is the median outcome is how actual Communism turned into gulags and secret police.
