How could it not be? If the price goes up, supply goes up and demand goes down.

But "demand goes down" means that the places that can't afford to pay the new, higher price go out of business. And that's all right - they're the least (economically) valuable use of those resources. Maybe the "crisis" we're seeing is places that can't raise the price they pay, and haven't gone out of business yet, desperately trying to find people at the price they can pay, and not finding any. Well, your choices are simple - pay them, or don't get them. If you can't or won't pay them, there's only one option left...
Can you say what are those?
He even inspired Snowden to expose the illegal mass surveillance programs. IIRC Snowden reached a breaking point when James Clapper, then director of national intelligence, lied under oath to Congress when pressed about domestic surveillance by senator Wyden.

It's sad we don't hear more about people like this in positions of power.
> what do you want to do with your certificate

I want to be able to reach various appliances in our home network (router, modem, etc.) via HTTPS without having to dismiss those scary warnings all the time.

> why do you want a wildcard certificate!?

Because most of those appliances are not connected to the public internet. They do allow uploading a certificate though.
Yes, a lot of those have pretty egregious annotation mistakes. Once you get in high percentage it's often worth going through your dataset with your model prediction and compare. Obviously you can't do that on academic benchmarks (though some papers still do).
W3C Leaves Twitter
This is great. I always thought OpenAI's dominance/prominence will be short lived and it will see a lot of competition.

Does anyone know how they "feed" the input to the AI in the demo here? Looks like there is an API to ask questions. Is that what they say will be available Dec 13?
Because it comes configured on your phone or browser, and learning to use new tools implies will and effort.
That article linked does not completely rule out MOND. It is a great article, but it even mentions several difficulties that complicate their observations.
FYI, blu-ray discs include executable code to, among other things, update the banlist of encryption keys on your player when you try to play a new movie. Even if you never plug your player in, there's still the very real possibility that putting in a new disc will update your player such that your old discs no longer work due to a key revocation.
Yeah, right now the leaderboard is pretty much: GPT4 > GPT 3.5 > Claude > Llama2. If Google just released something (Gemini Pro) on par with GPT 3.5 and will release something (Gemini Ultra) on par with GPT 4 in Q1 of next year while actively working on Gemini V2, they are very much back in the game.
Probably not "hard coded" in the literal way, but instead, if the model is using RLHF, they could thumbs up the answer.
I think the bottom line (profit) inversely correlates with the quality of search results. I've been using phind.com lately and it seems there can be search without junk even in this age.

Google has lots of people tagging search rankings, which is very similar with RLHF ranking responses from LLMs. It's interesting that using LLMs with RLHF it is possible to de-junk the search results. RLHF is great for this task, as evidenced by its effect on LLMs.
> Javascript environments ... guarantee that they'll preserve object key order when JSON is evaluated

Yes, but only for non-integer keys.
You can still play Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament (1999) online, because third-party game servers used to be the normal way online games worked. Hell, Team Fortress 2 is only playable on third-party servers, as the official servers are full of cheaters.
Do Libreboot supported hardware devices, which appear quite old, still receive CPU patches? If not, it is probably time to stop using it. Coreboot may give you a fighting chance however.
The solution to this is and has been for centuries is to add mass to the stove.
The search keyword to learn more is "post-quantum cryptography"

RSA and ECC cryptography could be broken, but (with a probably rocky transition period) we could move to other algorithms which are still secure.

Crytocurrency I'm not sure about.

I suspect probably keeping it secret - announcing it would push everyone to move from crypto you can break to crypto you can't.

Ask HN: Will there ever be a universal series streaming service?
I want to be legit and pay for my series and movies. And in fact I am ;)

I don’t even mind paying a considerable amount of money for it each month, to support them etc… but the thing is… first of all you need like 10 different subscriptions of you want most good series around the globe. And even then you need to cheat somehow (eg vpns) to not be geolocked… why? Do they want people to pirate?? I imagine not, but I feel there are no legit options?

I compare that to music where it seems to be a solved problem? I have spotify, apple music and youtube premium. There’s yet music that I have to find that’s not on one if these 3?

Why is this not yet something solved??? Will it ever come?
Deepmind is a great name, Google should over index on that. Bard on the other hand is an unfortunate name, may be they should have just called it deepmind instead.
And then nobody would have the successful company.
If Microsoft sold a Windows No-Bullsh*t Edition it would sell like hotcakes. The core OS is as solid as ever (it literally just gets better every year) but then they layer on all the "new" stuff and it's confusing, ugly, and buggy.

I'm not totally against change but there's a lot of change in Windows that just doesn't many sense.
And once Firefox falls below 2%, then the web developer pool for Firefox web browser will start to shrink dramatically.

I wonder if that factors into the # of accounts for their planned IPO. Does this also include new prive browsing sessions?

Does Google rely on TSMC to build the TPU chips?
If you want a long running calculation to not block the REPL you'd need to use a future, or some other method to get it off the REPL thread.

I don't remember what your describing being a feature of SLIME, but it's been 10+ years so I may just not remember.
Yes, but if you're looking for code completion at the quality level of Codex/Github Copilot, that's still a bit off.
> But I have no interest in learning/memorizing commands.

Of course they're UX issues that could be improved, especially with Canonical trying to push Snap on people, but I'm more inclined to believe many peoples' exasperation with the Linux desktop experience is really due to long-standing familiarity with Windows. The things you "have to learn" as an enthusiast coming from the Windows ecosystem are things that by its conventions are done through graphical interfaces. Which doesn't make them easier, you've just already memorized them.
Agree its a bit of a miss, but most of the battle with an LLM is pulling in the right context, so I'd imagine they could include resharper's output in the context in a future iteration. Seems like something they could iterate on.
> Suggesting a library should have been done before the code was even written.

Unless you agree on every detail before implementing anything, I don't see how this is practical. At least not in the companies I have worked in.

> The work has already been done. Try to capitalize on it, instead of dismissing it.

Not quite though. The developer may have written down some code but the work is not done. It needs to be shipped to production, monitored and supported by the oncall etc. If there is a way to not write some code and use a library, I will suggest that.

> Don't be an ass and call them out for it on the PR in front of the whole team, give them the benefit of the doubt and if someone else comes along and calls them out, you can present a united front vs. forcing them to defend themselves all alone.

If I see a PR with some key tests missing, I don't see why asking if we can add some more tests would be seen as calling them out on it. The PR is a place to record such things - may be it does not need such tests or may be it is intentionally not handled in the code etc. Why would such a discussion be seen as someone being an ass?

Why do I have to have that perfectly normal discussion in secret away from the rest of the team? We can ask questions and still be professional. Code reviews are not just for making sure code is good, but also for education - it is a good way for the other to know what is going on and also learn.

My read on this is that may be this is what happened to you - someone was being personal and attacked team members personally in the guise of a review and now you take a stance that either discuss everything before implementation in person or have separate meetings in private to suggest changes or ask questions.

I am thankful I did not have such a colleague/mentor when I started and hopefully I am not inflicting such an attitude to the new folks that are coming in now.
The mask debate is so ridiculous I'm astonished that we are still having it. Why do so many (mostly science deniers) constantly have an axe to grind? Those most "propagandized" are almost a complete overlap with those that identify as "independent thinkers". Please, tell me again what Joe Rogan said on a podcast. Ugh.
Maybe the declining quality of internet content has something to do with the declining quality of search results.

There's a constant arms race between shitty SEO, walled gardens, low-quality content farms and search engines.
+1. Or at least with no cuts, and more examples.

This is obviously geared towards non-technical/marketing people that will catch on to the hype. Or towards wall street ;)
I've been using it for a while. It's just GPT-4. The integration with the IDE is OK, it reads a combination of your code and the symbol table and can figure out common runtime errors. It's good for explaining things. Code generation is kind of blah - good for putting up a skeleton or implementing a library that's completely unfamiliar. I try out a lot of things with it that I wouldn't have otherwise. On the other hand, refinding code is a pain, the more specific you get about changes the greater the likelihood that it decides to 'focus' by just deleting the rest of your code and leaving you with only the function you were working on.

Once you hit the conversation size limit everything stops and you have to start over with a new chat, meaning you have to reconstruct your prompts over again or have it read more code. Getting it to reveal its system prompt shows that it's just 'an expert [language] programmer working on a project including (~100 common libraries)'.

I like having it available, I think Jetbrains has done a good job with it. But it also feels like it's taking resources away from conventional UI improvements and bug fixes. It will be better once they have other options besides GPT-4. It does not feel multimodal, and like most transformers it suffers from the problem of guessing instead of asking, often ignoring inconvenient or unintuitive instructions.
Everything is political. Only people considered the "cultural default" mostly don't _have_ to think about it.
>I don't think it's reasonable to expect a software provider to support old hardware/OSes forever.

I agree, but the hypocrisy is that old games might not work on the new OS that Steam client requires. So if you upgrade to a new machine to play your old game you might not be able to play it.
I think the time it takes to get access varies wildly. I signed up for the waitlist for copilot chat in intellij as soon as it became available, and still haven't gotten access. Just cancelled my subscription and will be moving to jetbrains ai, assuming the trial experience isn't too-too horrible.
I hope this kicks ARM SoC OEMs to adopt standard boot platforms for ARM (like UEFI), in order to support Windows, and increases the amount of laptops available using ARM.

Right now the answer to "how do I install an OS on an ARM computer" is a joke.
"Finds" is far too generous. There was no experimental research done. It was structure prediction using AI.
> On the topic of venues: you don’t need to rent anywhere.

This may be true in Cleveland. The semi-official Bay Area Rust meetup has had two events in the past three years, because it can't find venues willing to host events.
Then its not really a benchmark? Model trainers and researchers are not continuously testing, they dump something then move on.

The answer is standard "secret" closed source tests, performed in a controlled environment.

I know, I don't like the sound of it either, but in this case I think closed source + a single overseeing entity is the best solution, by far. Facebook already made something like this, but they only went halfway (publishing the questions while keeping the answers secret).
Why do we need a database for this?
This happens distressingly often in LLM demos. Significant errors being papered over because people are so enthralled by the "look Ma, no hands!" effect. Just got out of a work meeting where the exact same thing happened with an internal chatGPT integration.
You can make a good argument the other way, though. The common currency results in a weaker currency than the Deutsch mark would be if Germany wasn't in the Euro. This results in German exports being much more competitive. So in a way, the EU finances Germany.
~1980, ~2010, and ~2020 are the three times it was higher, inflation adjusted. The Great Depression era doesn't come close (and is also well outside of the 50 year window given).
How does an air quality sensor help with finding mold?
This is actually a feature. If you watch the screencast, I talk about Elixir supervision trees and how all Elixir programs carefully specify the order their services stop and stop in. So if your flame functions need DB access, you start your Ecto.Repo with a small or single DB connection pool. If not, you flip it off.

> It's probably a non-issue, the number of things done at initialization could be kept minimal, and FLAME could just have some checks to skip initialization code when in a flame context.

Exactly :)
What about SQLite JSONB? Does it maintain order?

UPDATE: I think SQLite JSONB does maintain order. For example:

select json(jsonb('{"a": 1, "b": 2, "c": 3, "d": 4}'));"
-- {"a":1,"b":2,"c":3,"d":4}

And it does maintain order when adding new keys:

select json(jsonb_insert(jsonb('{"a": 1, "b": 2, "c": 3, "d": 4}'), '$.e', 99));
-- {"a":1,"b":2,"c":3,"d":4,"e":99}

CISA says US Government agency was hacked thanks to 'end of life' software

Additionally, what's your company's IP policy? Do they let you send their code to a remote company or do they see that as a breach of security?
I teach a foundational media technology course at on of the bigger european art universities — I do the same thing with the students using a broadcast wave file.

The goal of the thing isn't to turn them into hackers, it is to give them a feeling what the stuff they work with is made of, what a file is. This is also a great introduction to talk about compression, metadata, encoding, decoding, sample rate, bitdepth and so on.

If you dive that deep into it, the settings in a typical media conversion program will suddenly become much less intimidating. My motto always was: this was made by humans so it should be possible for humans to understand it as well. And this is maybe the "hidden" lesson: If you bring enough patience you can go into the depth of nearly every topic.
But you're not objecting to selling 3 sizes. You're just objecting that the prices aren't far enough apart...
Because it strips out features, adds garbage in its place, and increasingly aggressively acts against powerusers. 10 and beyond are "good" as long as you don't go out of the tiny box of intended use.

I have never, ever seen another OS so intent on resetting my settings and reverting what I've installed. I even had a case where Windows Defender was removing cracked software even after being disabled.

It was really a sad episode in American history. I suppose it’s been 100 years since Prohibition so we needed a reminder that Americans really do not like having individual liberties infringed. It can’t work here - and that is by design.
Why is that misleading? It shows Gemini with CoT is the best known combination of prompt and LLM on MMLU.

They simply compare the prompting strategies that work best with each model. Otherwise it would be just a comparison of their response to specific prompt engineering.
No they are likely working on offline LLMs and custom chips so they'll be fine.

If you can run a large model locally for most of the cases, you won't want to use the Google Cloud services or OpenAI.
I'm experiencing the same thing... it's basically taken over my whole system. I've been trying to kill VSCode plugins and change browsers thinking that was the issue but my CPU spikes only when I have chatGPT up.
What would motivate them to do differently and lead an exodus of their customers to GoG and elsewhere?

Sony and Nintendo only do this because they control the hardware.
Don't be pedantic, I specifically said my intention was not to inflict unwanted noise on my neighbors.
from Italy: "You are currently using the latest version of Bard, which is powered by a lightweight and optimized version of LaMDA, a research large language model from Google AI. This version of Bard is specifically designed for conversational tasks and is optimized for speed and efficiency. It is constantly being updated with new features and improvements, so you can be sure that you are always using the best possible version."
I wonder if they have plans for allowing the usage of a locally hosted LLM?
maybe it is too much? If you just train LLM's on the entire Internet, it will be mostly garbage.
How about making youtube videos. People already do that
Save your rhetorical contortions.
Showing dominance in AI is also targeted at their entreprise customers who spend millions on Google Cloud services.
I agree with your wider point here, but transmission losses favor installing nuclear closer to where it’s actually used.

Germany’s investment in solar looks dumb in isolation, especially installing panels in northern Germany. However, there was a real environmental argument to be made that subsidies between 2000 and 2015 were critical to drive down PV prices until the economies of worked out. Today I think Germany investing in nuclear over solar is a good idea.

However change has knock on effects. If Germany was producing say 40% of its electricity from Nuclear it would be less interested in importing electricity from France on nights and weekends. Thus France would be facing even lower capacity factors.

Southern France however is a much better location for Solar so it can ramp down nuclear slightly while Germany ramps up nuclear. Net result would be both countries and the environment being better off. http://newquayweather.com/solarpv/images/SolarGIS-Solar-map-...

PS: What’s actually going to happen is unfortunately going to be influenced by politics, etc and therefore sub optimal.
How often is this necessary? I haven't been able to make an example of Java code performing faster than Clojure. I tried to make the java equivalent of this in Clojure

```
(defn sum-clojure [size]
(reduce + 0 (range 0 size)))

(sum-clojure 100000000)
```

Despite the fact that Clojure primitives are boxed, a manually constructed long array that was summed together in Java was much slower. Why is that?
It isn't an maoi unless you take much higher dosages, no different from fearing drowning from drinking water. It acts through hormesis (low dose effect is different from high dose) so by the time it's an MAOI (30mg+), it turns your pee blue and it's used to cure maleria and UTIs.

I don't believe I am infected but mold spores did 'something' and MB helps. I wasn't trying to use it for candida but it was just scraping my tongue as usual and noticing there was nothing there.

I wish there was a good intermediate class of doctor that knew about non patent medicines more besides YouTube. They're not taught "yesterday's" medicine that might have worked better.

I do not understand, you like Elon because he says dumb shit, so you try to defend the dumb shit? How do you do that? You try to make the dumb shit look smart or you try to excuse Elon because maybe he was drunk/tired/drugged when he said that dumb shit ?

When he admits it was dumb and his fans argued for hours that it was smart how do they feel?
This reminds me, whatever happened to mesh networks? If you wanted to be out and about in public, you could simply carry a very anonymized device that had only more basic abilities. But among those abilities, you could certain send messages and maybe even smaller-sized files - all over a mesh network. Feds could infiltrate it, but it wouldn't be nearly as trivial as it is right now. And users could rotate their devices. Furthermore, if the device in question wasn't a real phone, but rather something more generic (a wifi-capable device with a keyboard, virtual or physical), then it wouldn't even need to have an IMEI.

Native American means something else. Probably shouldn’t capitalize “native” if you want your point to be clear.
