I complain about my data being stored in the cloud all the time. I won't use services like Dropbox in large part because of the cloud, but I can't do a thing about other entities I do business with storing the data they glean about me in the cloud.

It's a real issue.
This is one of the things that, at first, sounds quite unbelievable. Then, when you think about the math involved, it becomes quite clear and almost trivial (well, in this case it's not exactly trivial, but in some other cases it is).

Similar (but slightly easier to prove) mathematical "tricks":

- if you take two pieces of paper, crumple one up and put it on the other, there is at least one point on the uncrumpled paper that is directly underneath the corresponding point in the other paper

- If you have a chair (or table) with 4 legs, and it wiggles because the floor is uneven, then you can always find a way to rotate it around the center so that it doesn't wiggle anymore

- there is no way to comb a hairy sphere ;-)
> If it just circles the block for 8 hours while you work, it will be there within minutes to drive you home whenever you feel like it.

Alright so what we're going to do is extract limited resources from the earth, pump out a bunch of C02, have a lot of people or machines get together in a big factory and assemble a car, someone is going to take out a loan for $40,000 or something, pay interest on that loan, pay for insurance, pay for maintenance, pay for energy/fuel, we're going to build highways and roads, and then we're going to have the car drive itself and the passenger (of course just them because nobody is sharing their car) to their computer at work, the car is then going to circle the block for 8 hours while you work (i.e. sit on Zoom calls), and then once you are ready to head home the car will stop circling the block and come and get you.

Right. All to avoid walking, riding a bike, or god forbid being near other humans on a tram.

I think the "InstantOn" functionality requires internet for setting up, but it seems like there is a way to manage it locally without the use of the "InstantOn" functionality:

This is absolutely true with trades. If you're hiring a roofer or whatever that has a great website, they will be the worst. The good ones have a backlog and no need to waste money on a site or other advertising. Essentially it's sales led vs product led.

True also for e.g. beer. For a given price point, the one that advertised the most (Stella for example) put the money there instead of quality.
I thought MSE was tied to the predictions it makes and not the structure itself (i.e. if you get the same value out for the same input, using different structures, you should at least get the same MSE).
Internet is getting pretty easy to find access to. We may be past the point where parents can limit their kids to only accessing the internet through devices that the parents control.
Well deserved Mitchel!
Thank you for Vagrant, Packer, Consul, Vault and Terraform, all of which I used back in my DevOps days.
“ To these folks, it feels like giving a damn is a huge career liability in your organization. Because it is.”

And it’s easy to see why.

Software Quality, Cose Maintainability, Good Design. These things only matter if you are planning to work on that company for a long time. If you’re planning to stay a couple years then hop to the next company, the most optimal path is to rise fast by doing high visibility work, then find use your meteoric rise as a resume material to get a higher paying job. Rinse and repeat. If that project is going to break or become unmaintainable in a couple years, who cares? You’re not going to be there.

Recognize the pattern? Startups work the same. It’s the “growth mindset” imprinted everywhere. If this product becomes unmaintainable in 5 years, who cares? I will have exited and cashed in.

I don’t judge people who do that exactly because it’s the practice the companies themselves use. I don’t like it, I actually hate it, but I understand people are just playing by the rules.

The fun part is watching managers and executives complaining about employee turnover, lack of company engagement, quiet quitting, like this isn’t them tasting their own poison.

This seems unethical:

Since January of 2023, we have deployed this system in the wild, where it has poisoned several hundred million data sources expected to be scraped and used in the training of new LLMs. This large-scale deployment serves as a real-world testbed and demonstration of our approach's efficacy.

We have concurrently developed a sophisticated countermeasure, capable of detecting and neutralizing the effects of VonGoom. Researchers and organizations concerned about the integrity of their LLMs, and looking to cleanse their systems of our widespread data manipulation, are advised to contact us for pricing and licensing details.
One thing you might try is creating some brownian noise and train on that. If you get really low errors it would be sus
Test code is just code. If you can write test code you can write production code. If you can write production code you can write tests.

If your concern is that devs don't have the right mindset for testing, you can have them collaborate with a QA specialist to define the test cases and review the test implementation.
Worth noting that cuda seems prone to using inline ptx assembly and that latter is really obnoxious to deal with on other platforms.

Implementing programming languages and runtimes is pretty difficult in general. Note that cuda doesn't have the same semantics as c++ despite looking kind of similar. Wherever you differ from expected behaviour people consider it a bug, and implementing based on cuda's docs wouldn't get you the behaviour people expect.

Pretty horrendous task overall. It would be much better for people to stop developing programs that only run on a gnarly proprietary language.
Manifold Hypothesis
It's human nature, unfortunately. Reality television producers have known this for ages: the episodes that feature people who come off as irredeemable jerks always garner the highest ratings.
Congratulations, Mitchell!

Many accomplishments and the ability to change an entire industry. One of a kind!

Can't wait to see what else you get up to.
Voyager 1 is so far away that it takes 22.5 hours for commands sent from Earth to reach the spacecraft. Additionally, the team must wait 45 hours to receive a response.

I’m guessing “hotfix” commits don’t exist in this domain
Equally fair to say it's happening right now depending on your frame of reference.
> when you refuse to do your job under new conditions for your employer… you lose your job

Ideally yes, but when every cop in the city refuses to do their job at the same time the city doesnt really have a choice. Firing every police officer is not an option for politicians who want to be re-elected.
If I could make a friendly suggestion, I think the data would be a bit easier to interpret if it were a grouped bar chart (GH rank, SO rank) and sorted by one (or the sum of the reciprocals).

> I don't know the backstory, but even if it's "consensual" it's still statutory rape to have sex with a minor.

I believe she was a minor but above the age of consent in that state.

And yeah, there's the whole question of "why are cops having sex while on duty?" - that's inappropriate even if it's your spouse, let alone someone you're interacting with in an official capacity, let alone someone who is in custody and detained, let alone someone who is handcuffed at the time.

There are so many separate levels of "what the actual f" here.
It depends on what you're using the images for.

If there's a human in the loop, 100 images/s is likey too much volume, especially if prompt engineering is needed.

At the same time, 2 images/hr is way too slow.

Ubicloud seems very cool, but I wonder what the long term plan for volumes is. Without network attached storage (EBS), running stateful services is tricky.
It is not about DevOps. In every organization if you do your work good and have no fuckups - you will not be recognized and promoted. But if you are hero-firefighter - managers will love you and help with promotion.

Because visibility is a key! Key to everything in the corporate life. If your work is not visible for managers - you are doing nothing.
The two things aren't the same, and one is more egregious than the other. But I do think that hoovering up all that web data to train models was way over the line. Worse, there's nothing I can do to prevent it. That's why I felt forced to remove my websites from the public web. I can't think of any other way to defend myself from these entities.
If you think the affirming actions end once the admittance decision is made I have a bridge to sell you.

Holding favored minorities to lower standards has permeated every institution, including medical schools, at every level because people are afraid of being called racist.

"Racist medical school fails african americans at higher rate than asians!" would be the headline and there would be no defense the critical race theory mob would accept.
I'd rather have this invariant:

haystack[haystack.indexOf(needle)] == needle

That is, there is no index of the empty string within a string. A nice thing about this is that it also works for non-character arrays:

"abc".indexOf("") raises "No such entry exception"
["", "abc", ""].indexOf("") == 0
Because laboratory glassware is very expensive and that would be massively wasteful? Also, most labs that I have been in make regular use of custom made glassware. Most chemistry departments employ a glassblower! Also, for very sensitive experiments, you would most certainly want to clean even brand new unused glassware.

Glass is amazing for chemistry not only because it is chemically inert, transparent, has a high melting temperature, and is reasonably strong but also because it is easy to clean!
How is this different from the Tree of Thought dumpster fire?

It looks like an awful lot of fishing for a good answer is going on.
Using what data as input?

And what do you mean by MSE of around 3 minutes? Do you mean root mean squared error?
why can't you siphon the base bath instead of having extremely steady hands

i'm also sort of surprised this treatment doesn't corrode the glass. i guess borosilicate holds up to things that would ruin soda-lime glass
# of bugs found per week should be sufficient metric of productivity.
Yes and no. Context matters.

Will models of similar quality to the current LLaMA, GPT, and Stable Diffusion be running locally on devices and edge systems? Very likely.

Will much higher quality models that still require compute incapable by such edge or consumer devices be available, sold as a service, and in high use? Also very likely.

So expect current quality to make it to your devices but don't expect to necessarily move everything to local because the whole ecosystem will improve too. Overton window will shift and it's like asking if gaming will move to phones. In some ways yes, in other ways you're still going to want to buy that Playstation/Xbox/PC.
A smaller sample size means there is higher variance in the results.

Notably, his concern was not that the glass was dirty, but that it was literally breaking. As in, spontaneously spill a beaker full of acid on the table breaking.

The experiment he blames this on was using the beakers to contain hot plasma. The beakers came out looking fine, but probably suffered substantial thermal stress.

You're probably aware, but that's a totally different ranking. On RedMonk's last ranking, TypeScript was one of the most popular languages, D was maybe 55% as popular, and Prolog didn't even make the list.

Many of which are also open, like OpenStack or K8s, or have third party implementations, like Ceph implementing the Amazon S3 API.
No, it’s not clear. There are already many domains where AI is vastly smarter than any human. There are algorithms like GPT which are fully general. So do we already have superhuman AGI today?

Most people would object. But it is hard to argue against that on definitions. It usually ends up being “by superintelligence I meant the singularity.” Which really makes this a question about reality matching science fiction…

Atlanta and Dallas are two poor examples compared to say Houston and LA. Atlanta and Dallas both have multiple forms of public transportation and extensive bike trails, you actually could extend the existing capabilities in both cities easier than others.
Fair enough:

Plainly speaking, your assertion didn't help, since you put in my mouth words (or rather, meaning) I didn't say. That is not conducive to productive conversation.

My suggestion: next time instead of claiming what the other person meant, ask them what they mean. That way I think you will truly have "more success".

Does this sound acceptable to you? If it doesn't, I don't think we can continue having any kind of meaningful conversation.

I do understand that psychologically speaking, at this point it will be hard for you to back down or make any concessions. Note how you didn't even apologize for your mistaken claim, nor even acknowledge when I called you out on it explicitly. Fight this urge to be stubborn.

> Freedom to build for commercial construction would also mean more neighborhoods where office buildings, shops and residences stand next to each other

Yes please! Mix it all up and let the city live. My neighborhood is almost like this - the residential zones are crisscrossed by commercial streets at a high enough density that you don't need to walk far to get out of the housing-only areas - but it could be even better, and far more of the city should work this way.

> urbanists should pursue the liberalization of existing commercial zones to allow for a plethora of other uses, including housing.

What a clever inversion. Of course we should do this.

This is an absolutely terrible headline. Voyager is communicating with Earth, full stop. The data from it's scientific instruments is coming back in a fixed, repeating pattern, meaning we aren't getting anything meaningful from it, but it is absolutely still communicating with Earth.
I remember when the launching of voyager. I would rather be getting bad data than no data.
If you look at the abstract it's 2% per annum, which is an absolutely massive difference in terms of ROI.

I think disputing the predictive power of things like GPA is pretty common. I'm not sure many people dispute this effect where I think downstream impacts are harder to quantify
Hard to come by? What do you mean by that? The financials are readily available. So you must be under the impression that it's an auditing free for all?

Do you actually have first hand experience with this because it doesn't match mine.
Nitrile gloves are quite useless against many common substances, including acetone, esters, acetic acid, and everything else with "acet" in the name. Aside from a few cases where nitrile works and others don't (some hydrocarbons, among others), there's usually something more protective.
> It's human nature, unfortunately.

If that ever really meant something, it has been so overused in the last few years that it's impossible to pick out any needles of serious use from the general default trendy grain silos of despair.

I'm not trying to get all of humanity to give up sex. I believe we can do better, here on HN, in this one regard. I am that insanely optimistic!
I guess it is nitpicking, but I hate the word choice they’ve selected there. The “additionally” makes it look like the 22.5 and 45 hour problems are two different things, instead of the natural result of a round trip.
No, it’s an accurate headline for the general population.

It’s sending nothing useful.
> 2% isn't a huge difference

2% per annum is a spectacular difference, compounded. Careers and fortunes are made of that.
I would've loved if this were more portable. It requires XNNPACK, which has no generic c implementation. I'd've loved to see Stable Diffusion running on an Alpha, SPARC, or m68k.

There are two possibilities.

One is you get a unique token which can be tied back to your identity by someone who compromises the issuing service, so if they get compromised you're screwed.

The other is you get a generic token or one that otherwise can't be tied back to a specific identity, in which case the token leaks and there is no way to trace back who is leaking it, creating a generic bypass of the whole system.
