Even besides the compromised morals, just the fact that they know and understand that Google is intentionally doing nefarious shit to make us switch to Chrome and they just went along with it.

That's not entirely accurate (or at least, while accurate, is missing a lot of significant context) Mozilla was creating within Netscape, not in opposition to it, as a steward org for the open-sourcing of Navigator & Communicator. Even when Netscape was acquired by AOL, AOL continued to fund[0] Mozilla for years after the acquisition.

Anecdotally,

The field of ML suffered from a problem where there were more entrants to the field than available positions/viable work. In many industrial positions, it was possible to hide a lack of progress behind ambiguity and/or poor metrics. This lead to a large amount of gate keeping for productive work as ultimately there wasn't enough to go around in the typical case.

This attitude is somewhat pervasive leading to blogs like the above. Granted, the Nth prompting paper probably isn't interesting - but new programming languages for prompts and prompt discovery techniques are very exciting. I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out that automatic prompt expansion using a small pre-processing model turns out to be an effective technique.
Derivative of f = (f(x + dx)-f(x))/dx as dx -> 0

Which is to say:

1) create the function f(x + dx)

2) ignore (subtract away) the terms not proportional to dx

3) of the terms proportional, only care about terms minimally proportional (i.e. divide by dx, keep terms no longer proportional to dx, eliminate any still proportional to dx.)

The last step corresponds to eliminating terms proportional to dx^2 or higher

Does genetic data count as personal information? Just wondering as a EU citizen.
CPython compiles to a byte code, too and runs that (https://devguide.python.org/internals/interpreter/)

Any speed difference between the two is because of a combination of

- developers spending less effort on making it fast

- differences in the virtual machines instruction set

- differences in the languages that make one harder to run fast

I think/guess the first is the major reason, but the instruction set may matter, too. The last one has at most a minor impact.

A reason developers spend less time making the CPython interpreter faster is that you can relatively easily make ‘python’ even faster by making it call C code.
This is the new cancel culture: Comment away with hate speech (bots) to stop a true and honest discussion. It's too bad the internet is not yet ready for this form of misinformation and destroying real conversations. Now with AI (bots) coming up, it will get even more difficult...
Actually i do agree with the statement.
I live near the biggest city in my state and my friends are different in ideas, political opinions and preferences (also kinda different in economic possibilities) due to the fact that we all went to the same highschool, and there are few places where the young can socialize.
on the contrary my brother lives in that big city and its friends are ALL coming from the same cultural background, with the same ideas and the same political leaning (that he chooses during university)
Astronomers Discover Solar System Where Planets Orbit in Mathematical Harmony
I love encountering nay-sayers because it means either:

1. I am wrong and could learn something new.

2. They are wrong and their opposition fills me with defiant determination.

The difficulty comes when you view something as case 2 but it is actually case 1 and you embarrass yourself. I do this all the time.
I have a friend that is working as a contractor building AI-powered workplace spying software for the explicit purpose of behavior manipulation. It gives the employees and employers feedback reports about their behavior over chat and video. For example, if they used microaggressions, misgendered someone, or said something crass. This same friend will then talk about the dangers of dystopian technology.

People don't know what they're creating. Maybe it's time it bites them.
Well, I really think 500 miles is too high of a lower bound, but when you reach 1000 km, it stops mattering again. This is about how long you can travel before stopping to rest.
Also with higher frame rate I can see subtle patterns in the movement and flow of things (clothes, water, humans). Also the eye can see more details and can recognize the texture of things, the different kinds of fabrics, all kind of details like this.
This is a good point, it reminds me of how VAR has come into football. Before VAR, there were fewer penalties awarded. Now that referees have an official camera they can rely on, they can enforce the rules exactly as written, and it changes the game.

> A rather amusing situation was encountered with another train set that refused to work on November 21, 2022, despite not being in service at the time. The computer reported a compressor failure, although the mechanics determined that there was nothing wrong with the compressor. Unfortunately, the train still did not raise its pantographs. The analysis of the computer code revealed a condition enforcing the failure, which read as follows:

> if the day is greater than or equal to 21, and

> if the month is greater than or equal to 11, and

> if the year is greater than or equal to 2021

> then report a compressor failure.

> In fact, because the iPhone is so popular in the U.S. — which is obvious from what you see on that aforementioned government analytics page — Safari pulls large numbers that also hurt Firefox.

This makes me dislike smartphones more than I already did. Not only has iOS Safari overtaken Firefox in terms of market share, it has also overshadowed macOS Safari, a much better browser than iOS Safari for a much better operating system than iOS.
It can be smart business if the probability of it being disclosed is low enough. Using fake numbers as an example, if you can make an extra $1 million on repairs and will suffer $100 million in fines / lost business if it becomes known, as long as the probability of it becoming known is less than 1%, it's a net positive expected value.
Oh the irony. iMessage is free for Apple users and android users have to pay $2/month to get blue bubbles on Apple devices, sparing Apple users the eyestrain of white text on bright green background.

I have offered friends older Apple gear (iOS 12.1 required, or 10.14 Mojave on Mac) so that they can group FaceTime, and not have to use zoom. Now, that's reuse rather than recycling.

The article is specifically about the browser usage distribution among users accessing US Government websites.

I don't see how that leads to the reduction of the problem, though. Governments and corporations will still use AI for the things they want to use AI for.
If you have thoughts on how to improve the output for better understanding, do file a ticket against rustc. We are space constrained, so we try to avoid long explanations as much as possible, but we sometimes do or add links to the right spot in the docs.

Ask HN: Has anyone used a Tenstorrent Grayskull card with an LLM?
I was curious, considering the price of GPUs, if anyone had tried using a Tenstorrent Grayskull card with something like Llama 2, or am I completely misunderstanding the use case for Tenstorrent cards? If the latter is the case, can anyone provide a link to somewhat concise summary of what all the differing "AI" hardware is used for?
That's pretty clever.

It leverages the fact that most people make a large number of short trips, and a smaller number of long trips.

Also if it's modular enough, this design could allow replacing one or the other battery if the user does lots of short trips, or lots of long trips.

Also could let the manufacturer do market segmentation, e.g. a high performance model with no LFP, and both parts of the "high-performance" chemistry - and a base model that's 100% LFP.
Sounds like something out of Idiocracy. It's got what _____ crave!
How is searching for oscp obvious when the problem was HSTS?
I’m not surprised. I’m not a major OSS contributor of any sort, but I am a lead of a closed source product within my company, and if I got the kind of pointless destructive criticism that usually makes it to the top of HN comments on something my team and I worked hard to create it would be beyond frustrating. The only thing that would make it tolerable was the fact that at least I got paid to do this.

I can’t even imagine how terrible it must feel as an OSS contributor or leader who is putting all their effort out there in the open for anyone to see and use and they are deluged by the most awful petty criticisms.

I really think HN comments probably need some sort of “feedback” tab, where the people who are providing what they think is constructive feedback can put their comments in, so the OSS software developers/contributors can choose to tackle the feedback when they are in the mindset to do so.

At the moment they appear to want to be both.

Might at times be at the detriment of Firefox but it's not like there is any alternative imo. So I don´t mind, it's not like if they remove their LGBT manifesto they suddenly will become relevant again and people will start to care about privacy.

Might be that LGBT people care more about privacy and that this manifesto will help them stay relevant.

And it's not like 2% is not a lot of people, TOR browser is certainly even less and it does not change the fact that I believe it's an highly important piece of software.
The "elephant in the room" as you put it is sensible, forced lockdowns led to good results. Japan, Taiwan, and Singapore all had strict lockdowns, mandatory mask wearing laws, mandatory testing, and when available, mandatory vaccinations. This approach to the pandemic allowed them to keep their schools open.

The West? The West revealed itself to be in decay and unable to properly respond to the pandemic. By not being able to mandate lockdowns, mask wearing, and vaccinations we had to shut down our schools in order to prevent the spread.

Put another way, the West made their children pay for their freedom. To me that's a sign of a civilization in decline.

Finally, your assertion at the end is false. Children are not adults and both have different needs, especially social needs. But, you're a coward using a throwaway account so you probably know you're wrong.
This is one thing AI really can help with: rewriting what you wrote in order to make stylometric analysis worthless.
Directly, yes.

How much of the rest comes from tax-deductible corporate donations and grants from tax-free nonprofits? Almost all of it.

Since that money is not taxed, one could certainly argue that it represents a de facto tax increase on other people. That is, if the federal government needs $x/year in tax money, and Exxon doesn't pay taxes on the $y/year it gives to NPR, that tax money is going to have to be made up from someone else.

Right?
Besides being allegedly hard to shut down without breaking iPhones, there's also this statement given to Ars Technica:

> Migicovsky had a few different answers. The broadest one, regarding the tech behind the app, is that reverse-engineering for interoperability is legal—a fair use exemption to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act's restrictions against circumventing encryption or other protections. The app also goes out of its way to avoid trademarks like iMessage, referring instead to "blue bubbles" and the like, and the rest might be considered nominative fair use.

> Standard deviation away from the mean don't correspond to the same percentiles for all distributions, or do they?

If they had said a two standard deviation interval then you would have needed to know the distribution, but they said 95% which gives you all the information you need to make the bet.
Genetic testing firm 23andMe admits hackers accessed DNA data of 7m users
So these trains are exclusively used in Poland by quite a big number of regional train companies. There are 5 servicing levels starting from P1 up to most complex P5. It used to be that only these major companies would do P3+ but since a few years tenders were won by several smaller competitors at much lower prices all thanks to European Union Agency For Railways that opened that market.

It started with 4 trains that were serviced by SPS Mieczkowski and just wouldn't start. The company was forced to pay €0.5m in penalties and trains were sent back to Newag. At the same time several other trains from different companies that didn't even got to service but spent a bit too much time in one place became immobilized. This all led to SPS Mieczkowski hiring Dragon Sector to investigate and they found several separate routines to disable trains.

This case is investigated by Central Anti-Corruption Bureau in Poland but I doubt it'll do much harm to Newag. The Office of Rail Transport of Poland that would spam rail company with complaints and orders for a small mistake in train schedule washed it's hands from intervening in this case and train purchases have highly regulated tender process and very little wiggle room for rail companies.
I'm on the fence about using this. I don't want to switch all my conversations over to iMessage and then have Apple figure out how to ban this. That kind of feels like a recipe for lost messages.
Things to Note Before Migrating Servers
And ideally if someone is proposing new prompting techniques they should test it across both the most capable models (which are unfortunately proprietary) and the best open models.

The problem is that what works on small LLMs does not necessarily scale to larger ones. See page 35 of [1] for example. A researcher only using the models of a few years ago (where the open models had <1B parameters) could come to a completely incorrect conclusion: that language models are incapable of generalising facts learned in one language to another.

Yes, I forgot to include it in the original comment, but besides frames and AJAX we also have static site generators, from no-code stuff like Frontpage all the way to Hugo, and server-side templating like PHP, Jinja, etc.

These are all solutions to the same problem: HTML lacks this natively. Web browsers had 20 years to provide a solution for literally copying text code and they were quicker to implement WebGL and web assembly...

And the worst of all is that the only "templating" solution we got with <template> made the same mistake as frames did: the accessed page is the root and the included code is the children. HTML needs dependency inversion. Just like we include a single bundle.js that controls all pages in a website there should have been a way to include single template.html that defines the layout used through a site, the JS and CSS required by this layout, and other reusable template components too (which, imo, HTML should be to render without needing JS. Seriously, I should be able to write a web-component <my-h1> that unpacks to <div class="h1-wrapper"><h1> without needing JS because that cover 50% of the use cases...)
I found some on/off switches on Amazon that appears to use the motion of your hand pressing the switch to generate the power to transmit. It makes a fairly loud CLICK when you press it, so I assume it's some sort of piezoelectric mechanism?

I've found that jobs through cold applying have been gambles. Sometimes they suck. Sometimes they don't and I get great new connections from them. Getting jobs via connections is way more hit or miss since it's all timing, but every time the job has been great.

I'd say that connections are worth it for increasing your chances of netting a job because they tend to be good jobs since someone you know vetted it. Cold applying is easier to get a job period I think, but the quality in every domain is all over the place. It's a trade off.

Honestly an ideal application for wireless power transmission. The power usage of the device is low, and there is typically a substantial delay between uses, so a very low power RF source could still be sufficient to keep an internal battery charged. Position is static so the RF source could be highly directional for improved efficiency.

That being said, if you have an RF source, why not have it be the transmitter? Have a passive antenna in the switch that activates when the switch or sensor is active. The RF source detects the returned signal and then communicates with the powered device. Hell a clever engineer could probably get this to work with standard wifi.

The pressure to benefit from deceit because outperforming competition is the only way to stay alive is unique to capitalism, though.

"capitalism is not the simple proposition that profit justifies anything" - of course, but it naturally leads to an environment where profit justifies anything. No business leaders avoid money-making immoral behavior unless it is overall unprofitable due to market conditions (a specific well-informed customer base, for example) or regulation.

Cool but... where is the relay/electronics/power supply that control the light itself?

Most systems like that are home run back at the house electrical panel. You don't save any copper at all compared to the traditional switch. In fact, you use more of it!

edit: In case I wasn't clear. The relay is back at the house electrical panel. So now every light requires a full copper run. This is because the relay has to be serviceable. An alternative would be to have special light fixtures with an accessible relay. This way the light electrical supply can hop from light to light.
