Sure, a few brief points.

1: Remember that 3BP had to break the speed of light (among other things) to make the story work. A first strike is a huge gamble, you have to make sure your shot in the dark kills the monster rather than makes it angry. If you put information lag back into the equation (not to mention other intelligence gathering and military imperfections), the confidence that you need to make the game theory work starts to look incredibly steep.

2: Nearby grabby aliens are highly unlikely in any event because otherwise they would have grabbed already. The time to colonize the galaxy (millions of years) is tiny compared to likely variation in the timescale on which interstellar-capable life emerged and evolved (billions of years). If you turn the colonization of the galaxy into a 2 hour movie and separate it into periods of "no aliens," "sparse aliens," and "dense aliens," the "sparse aliens" section is one small scene lasting seconds. It would take an enormous feat of synchronization for us to be "born" into those few seconds rather than before or after (and "after" probably doesn't work because colonization stops development). "Sparse aliens" makes for great sci-fi, so we are predisposed to imagine that it is more likely than it actually is. It's like Jurassic Park: the dinosaurs don't always escape because the mathematics of chaos theory dictate that it would be impossible to put resurrected dinosaurs in a zoo, they escape because otherwise I wouldn't buy a movie ticket (and neither would you).

3: Suppose that the situation has defied the odds and there are spooky aliens out there just waiting to kill us. What's our move? Hide? Or grow aggressively? The "hide" option is already a bust, so we should grow aggressively. Everyone else will do the same. Just as the desirability of a first-strike hinges on unlikely confidence in the ability to effectively carry out complete retaliation-eliminating destruction on a rapidly advancing adversary far in the future, the desirability of hiding hinges on unlikely confidence in the ability to hide from adversaries with truly staggering surveillance options. Even if the forest is full of monsters, we do not expect them to hide.

I love the 3BP trilogy and the atmosphere of horror that it builds, I just don't think its thesis works very well IRL. Which is a good thing :)
> What you’re asking for is a dictator.

No, I'm asking for the judicial system to prosecute politicians who make promises that they don't keep. Like they prosecute politicians in other instances of illegal behavior.

To be clear, I'm not saying that currently, it is illegal for politicians to make promises they don't keep. I'm saying it should be, in some form.

> If he or she ran on banning guns, introduced legislation to ban guns, but some conservative added a rider to ban abortion, should he or she be prosecuted for voting against their own bill? Because that kind of nonsense happens all the time.

Obviously not. I'm not advocating for putting politicians in prison willy nilly. But we should at least prosecute the obvious, egregious instances of the kind of wrongdoing I'm talking about.

Besides, the whole concept of a "rider" is stupid, corrupt and should be illegal as well (just like it is in other areas of the law). Then you wouldn't have that problem.

Right. Bear in mind that's only one school of thought, and not the most mainstream one.

> Are these just two sides to the same coin. Frozen time = infinite space depending on your relativistic point of view??

Separation is Lorentz invariant. But there's no general theorem here AFAIK, at least not a known one, though the behaviour certainly rhymes.

It's beam size 1. From my quick tests on a Colab T4, CTranslate2 (faster-whisper's backend) is about 30% faster with like for like settings. I decoded the audio, got mel features, split into 30s segments, and ran it batched (beam size 1, batch size 24, no temperature fallback passes). Takes a bit more effort than a cli utility but isn't too hard.

Side note, the insanely fast whisper readme gives benchmarks on an A100 but only the FA2 lines were. The rest were on a T4 looking at the notebooks/history. Turing doesn't support FA2 so the gap should be smaller with it, but based on the distil-whisper paper CTranslate2 is probably still faster.

TensorRT-LLM might be faster but I haven't looked into it yet.
You can hate the politics and foreign policy or various degrees of brutality in all of those countries, but implying Russia and China are as bad as North Korea is a little extreme. Doubly so when you imply any positive opinion is just contrarianism, when people on HN have freely traveled or even lived within the first two.

You can honestly have a pretty comfy life in the first two countries, especially as an expat. And at least with China, the brutality is hyped up to a point that it's disappointing when you arrive there expecting to be some rebel in some 1984 dystopia and find out people are happy and living a quality of life no different from Europe or the US. In some ways better (cheap cost of living, world-class public transport), and some ways worse (internet and freedom of speech is clearly restricted, but nowhere near the murderous levels of North Korea or even Russia arresting people disapproving of war. Just posts being blocked in 99.9999% of cases, like a heavy-handed version censorship you'd find on reddit but applied almost everywhere). Like a more relaxed version of the UK which arrests people for offensive twitter posts or teaching a dog an offensive salute.
If you cash it, maybe. If it's deposited, probably not. Especially for a small dollar value.

Quick question about django ninja it is just fastapi integrated to work with the django admin and Orm right ?
There's a lot of people living in really old substandard houses with Asbestos here in Canada too. The decline of the middle class, and economy where a new house costs 1 million, while the average salary is 59k made it nearly impossible for people to afford to build a new house. So the vas† majority of people in old homes will be stuck in them.

The error they make is thinking that only "they" - other people - do these things.
I’ll second the comments that $2k/month is alarmingly high, especially for the performance that you seem to be getting. When I shoved ~40M webpages into a stock ElasticSearch instance running on a 2013-era server I bought for $200 (on eBay), it handled the load when I hit the HN front page just fine. Either you’re being drastically overcharged or there’s something horribly inefficient in your setup that could probably be tweaked fairly easily to bring your prices down.

Who thinks document "chunking" sucks and why?
All the "memory" systems/pipelines for LLMs seems to be using the exact same approach:

1. Chunk Docs + Embed
2. Store in a VectorDB
3. Query embeddings based on semantic relevance

In my work, this has consistently failed to get meaningful context for prompts. Who has seen a better way of handling this problem?
> Why spend any resources on users who aren't adding value?

What makes you think that logged out users aren't adding any value?

The behaviour of github here is consistent with them assuming that logged out users provide a small but non-zero amount of value for them.

The link you provided seems to suggest that the code search is supposed to be faster for users, but I can't see anything in it that suggests that it's less taxing on the backend?

I am starting to think of WASM as an ambitious language agnostic VM and ecosystem.

It is like the JVM standard - but for any language. And as the runtimes exist for most platforms, anything compiled to WASM is automatically cross-platform.

Also, it is designed for better security (to run inside a browser sandbox). No GC by default but that may change with WasmGC. You can use it with Docker using the WASM backend.

Who knows, maybe one day all operating systems will have native WASN support. Then it will truly become the ubiquitous/universal binary format!!
This bothers me even more when it comes to web browsers. (Or should I say the browser?)

I grew up in a world where everything was hackable. Chrome (and Firefox, but it really doesn't matter anymore) become less and less modifiable and adaptable. In theory and practice.

I think the main reason there is no viable alternative browser is that it has become far too complicated and far to much effort to write and maintain one. But - and here comes the point - even if we could muster the resources to pull one off, we'd never gain enough trust that it is as secure as Chrome to make it even remotely popular.

As long as things are as they are, it is a game we're never gonna win.
Check out NextDNS. It's easier than hosting your own DNS filter. It's got plenty of knobs and switches plus lots of blocklists to choose from. (The Hagezi lists are particularly good.) Also, if you run it on your devices (in addition to your router), it filters on any network you happen to join.

> Of course that model doesn't work for everything (it's usually a bad idea to pre-pay for goods or services with bank transfers since there is essentially no consumer protection in case the merchant goes bankrupt or turns out to be a fraudster), but I'm still fascinated by the US's lack of a "giro" system, i.e. an accountholder-initiated P2P and B2C push payment service.

We have wire transfers which work like this, through the FedWire system. They're instant, can't easily be reversed, and usually expensive and inconvenient to use.
People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you.

You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity.

Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.

You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs.

Include an expiry time in the encrypted part. The encryption, and the fact the token decrypts invalidly if not encrypted with the correct key, acts like a discount JWT.

Encrypted session tokens with embedded expiry will serve the needs of 99% of applications/services.
A product I worked on got real popular, so scaling up the support department became a real pain since the devs were running all kinds of different distros and so we had CI and package support for Arch, Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS... except that all of those come in a bunch of different variants and customers expected the product to run on them. At one point more than 90% of the tickets were dealing with distribution-specific weirdness. There was an epic internal wiki page that must have weighted in at a couple megabytes of raw text that was an encyclopedia of run-time linker caveats for hundreds of distributions, complete with troubleshooting flowcharts and links to our internal test farm to get one-click access to a VM reproducing the scenario described. I still wish I had that, it would have been so handy for some of the Rust and MIPS porting I'm doing now.

We couldn't containerize it (it's a client for a security monitor), we couldn't ship it as a VM, so eventually we all agreed to ditch everything except RHEL and everyone else would be unsupported (we grandfathered all the existing ones in, and it took a year and a half before everything worked.).

It boggles my mind that github search is case-insensitive and doesn't search the whole words.
For a search term getInfo it will return:

Don't get me started about how it's harder than it needs to be to limit the search to your own repos
I've created APIs in multiple languages and the patterns are typically the same:

* Define your DB schema - OK, no way to avoid this

* Repeat yourself with ser/deser schemas - tedious

* Repeat yourself with basic CRUD endpoints - further tedium

* Eventually lose the will to live

It's so frustrating when there's so much plumbing involved before you even get to the business logic.

I've previously used Django but had discounted it for MVPs due to its relatively sluggish performance and lack of typing, but benchmarks from pypy and typing have made me change my mind. Spring Boot is also a front-runner, but the lack of admin interface and user auth system (I don't want to run Keycloak but would integrate Firebase auth) have tipped me to Django.

When I used DRF previously it followed the above pattern and was slow and tedious to develop. Django ninja looks great (auto generating ser/deser schemas from models, lightweight annotations). Removing the boilerplate to serve a CRUD API also looks super helpful, so thanks, I'll give it a try.

Linus himself has credited Monotone with the content-addressing by SHA1:
https://marc.info/?l=git&m=114685143200012

I think the main issue with Monotone was the performance. Linus also hates databases and C++.

Hoare didn't come up with this idea either, but he did apply it to version control. He had potentially been influenced by his earlier work on distributed file systems and object systems. Here's his 1999 project making use of hashes: https://web.archive.org/web/20010420023937/venge.net/graydon...

He was in contact with Ian Clarke of Freenet fame (also 1999). There seems to have been a rise in distributed and encrypted communications around the time, as kragen mentions in his other post.

BitTorrent would also come to use hashes for identifying torrents in a tracker, and would come out in 2001, created by Bram Cohen, the author of the post here :)

> I asked a pointed question - do you have the ability to answer it?

I am refusing to accept your framing (being that we should discuss qualification in detail) as I suspect you do not call in to question the qualifications of the authors (or the meaning of the word qualifications) when an AI paper being discussed has been written by men, rather than women.

>>> What is the (comprehensive) meaning of this symbol: "qualified"?
> Do you know the(?) answer to this question?

Comprehensive meaning? Nope. But I don't accept that I must be able to comprehensively articulate the meaning of every word I use. I accept that the authors of the paper have enough education and experience to write a paper on this subject that is worth examination.

The biggest reason I dismissed you originally is that your style of conversation is coming off to me more argumentative than anything else, and it is my experience that arguing with people on the internet is a waste of time. Plenty of people on this site treat others with respect, and reasonable people can disagree about a great many things, and so I am willing to explain my reasoning to them in detail. But when someone comes in with what seems like an argumentative state of mind, I either ignore them or make a comment that purposefully ignores their framing of the question, knowing that is a trap.

> Oh my, look at all the culturally unusual fodder I have provided for you to leverage cultural norms against! I did my best to make it irresistible.

This is a great example of argumentative style that I personally will just ignore.

> we are on your, and Dang's, and YCombinator's turf - you can literally declare victory at any time, and win!

More evidence, in my opinion, that you are viewing this not as a respectful conversation between reasonable people, but some weird kind of internet battle field. I literally don't give a shit about winning, so your assumptions about my motivations are flawed and this explains why you find my response confusing.
I can echo the others. It's also my favorite movie, period. It is a movie that psychically assaults either vicariously through the characters and/or (likely and) through identifying with the themes of struggling with the idea of artistic experience, destiny, legacy, etc. Even if you don't "actually" believe in all of those things it's probably because you contended with these ideas before and came to some psychologically safe (ethically and philosophically coherent, at least internally) conclusion about them, but this movie really tugs at those deepest heartstrings and induces a reliving of the main character's struggles with those themes.

The first time I watched it I had to pause it halfway through... the next couple hours I was in a mental space that can only be rationalized as "schizophrenic". I thought everyone around me were psychopaths and I was the only sane one, but lived that in a more or less manic way. The only other piece of art that's had that kind of effect on me is the novel Naked Lunch. It's my favorite movie precisely because of how unflinchingly it plumbs those depths, those cracks, of the human condition and the anxiety of dying having not contributed enough.
