Is it possible to use zip-nerf to train GS to eliminate the floaters.
Google's response to Reptar CPU vulnerability
I had to look up reflexivity, as I was not previously familiar with it. I fail to see how it salvages your claim, and suspect you're fixating on this bit of economics trivia because you dislike that I made fun of the thing you said, and think I'm trying to get into a pissing contest about "intelligence", and like most ridiculous children who get into pissing contests about intelligence, seem to think that asking me to explain a concept with which I may then admit unfamiliarity might score you some points in such an undertaking. That about right?
With all respect, I have never heard of these authors + seen this paper. Maybe I am not deep enough?
First, half the Jewish people in Israel are from the Middle East and Central Asia. Second, Europeans Jews aren’t converts, like European Christians. They’re the descendants of people displaced from Israel by, among others, Arab invaders. They’re returning to their own land.
I love seeing this.

The more work we do on top of WASI the more I realize their design flaws when trying to run already existing programs on top of it.
WASIX aims to fix many of these flaws, but the underlying problems from WASI always arises (such as mandatory relative paths).

I welcome WALI with open hands and excitement. If anyone wants to add support for it in Wasmer I’d be more than happy to integrate it there!

For those interested, as is not trivial to find it, the source code of WALI is here: https://github.com/arjunr2/WALI

Here's my suggestion.

Find a good audiobook version at your local library through Libby or Hoopla. The one I listened to was about 24 hours in length, but shorter at 1.25x.

After every chapter or so, check out the annotated version here and read/skim what you just listened to: http://www.powermobydick.com/

I found it helpful to listen to the language and flow first, then seek out the explanations in the annotations of the old language or the nautical terms.

This made it far more approachable with respect to the jargon. Helped even this native English speaker!
Not to be confused with Lowe's in Australia, which sells clothing.
For me, the value of a recruiter is that they're well-connected and can help with negotiations. It's icing on the cake that the company is paying them, not me. I would consider paying for this service if you were able to negotiate for me, and then I'd pay a percentage of the negotiated increase to you.

I don't really place much value on someone just applying to jobs for me - that part isn't hard. Now if you could do interviews for me...
In this case I guess the independent contractor ends up accepting the responsibility for not taking their own safety precautions seriously: they get silicosis.

I feel for the people who were early in the industry who had no idea this could happen to them, but now that it's known, if a contractor doesn't feel like taking appropriate precautions, then they get what they deserve.

Banning an entire industry because people cut corners is just dumb.
You should def give Algolia and Typesense a try. You can get 10k in free Algolia credits for the first year too via Secret (startup deals site).
We had no capital, so advertising or solutions that basically involved "throwing money at the problem" were off the table for us.

We spent time posting in forums helping people find items they were looking for, and we had a few posts here on HN that generated short-lived, explosive traffic bursts. I remember those days we had posts get picked up on HN, it was always an exciting night!

We were looking at influencers and getting our name getting bloggers to talk about us, but, again, without capital, our options were very limited here. I'm sure someone with more of a marketing background would have found a bunch of ways we could have generated organic user growth, but neither me or my business partner had that skill set.

If I were to do it again, I think I would try to get someone with a marketing background involved to help gain traction. Without that, even the best product in the world will die of starvation if no one finds it.
I wish this becomes a product. A GPT that learns on my content. Ordinary stuff though, emails, documents, chats, calendar, …. And continuously trains and runs on a local server. Is this a thing already?
Granite countertops can be radioactive, so we should ban granite countertops as well.

A new habit-building app that motivates users with real money
The app is called HabitRewards: https://habitrewards.framer.ai/

The app gives users $1 daily if they complete the habit goal, otherwise, the users would lose $1 through subscription. It aims to motivate deterministic users to consistently build their habits by committing to their habit goals.

Any thoughts?

"Undamaged" is the key word there; asbestos at least seems very easy to damage. Is the same true for engineered stone? And even if you do damage it, I would expect it would not kick up enough dust to be a problem.
Can't believe this advice is free. Hacker news really is an amazing community. How do you actually do a trademark research?

Anyone else onsite also gets silicosis, too!
I do find it a little amusing to think that proximity to a Walmart (!) is a marker of the arrogant urbanite. I’ve never gone to Walmart as frequently as I did in a town of 10k in rural Iowa, and here in the NY suburbs it looks like the closest Walmart is a 19 mile drive.
So you'll be an agent? I think this is a great idea. My major concern is this, " you'll pay me whatever you want when you accept an offer." There's nothing worse for a business relationship than unspecified financial terms. It will be bad for you and your clients. Pick a number, a percentage, something, and put it in writing up front.
"There's about 25 million products on Agora right now."

How many stores are represented in index.
Indeed, this section is a bit obvious, but it needs saying because some people struggle to figure this out.
One of my favourite dialogs in the book was where the second mate admonished the cook about how to properly do a whale steak.

"I’ll tell you what to do so as not to spoil it by overdoing. Hold the steak in one hand, and show a live coal to it with the other; that done, dish it; d’ye hear?"

It's these small passages that make the book.

Tolkien is another prime example of an author who happily diverges away from the story at hand, bursting into songs and poems; any wonder that LotR is such a popular and often reread book? Or the Hobbit which is quite a short novel, spending pages telling riddles!
Damn, his whole family
I thought it was pretty obvious, and don't detect any snark.

A business/industry gets subsidies and is able to grow faster than it would have or just simply grow where nothing would before. Those businesses are then subject to taxes which the government collects and puts to use, which then benefits the populace at large.

> In particular I’ve never seen an actor model with static types and how that would handle different types of messages coming into the mailbox.

This is what sum types give you, or dynamic handler registration if you need to support runtime-configurable message types (perhaps plugins or something).

Of course, these still use channels!
I'll take things that never happened for $500, linsomniac
Altering the manufactured stone is a deliberate act, and appropriate safety precautions can be mandated. (If people choose not to take those safety precautions, that's on them.)

Asbestos can get into your air through accidental damage to insulation, or in the case of lead, paint chipping or pipes aging can do the trick. This is just something that happens incidentally through the regular lifetime of the material, not because someone decided to do something to it.
This whole thread is about the govt handing out hundreds of millions of dollars to private companies; the topic couldn't be more about money. There are plenty of worthwhile non-monetary things that can be done to improve society, but a discussion about how to allocate government cash subsidies seems like an odd place to object to a focus on financial matters.
There are orders of magnitude fewer people playing with large (>40B) parameter models than the small ones, which means even fewer people finetuning those models.

I can’t imagine this is anything but selection bias.
We already have free food for those who really need it through the food stamps (SNAP) program. Very few people need as much 5000 kcal/day; that amount is only needed for people doing really hard manual labor or sports training.

We (Australians) might have corks on our hats (we don't) but we do understand ANOVA and have several world acclaimed epidemiologists working with long standing well recorded data going back many decades.

Engineered silicia is being "singled out" for the crime of being significantly more responsible for actual silicosis cases than concrete is.

Unless you have any evidence to the contrary?
I am one of those lucky 4-letter people for whom amphetamine acts as a gentle calming component, not forcing focus but enabling it.

That's only true if there are no bugs in the kernel or anything that implements the namespaces. You're needlessly adding a huge attack surface.
That web page was using Comic Sans MS, too, wasn't it

I can't understand why something would be published in that condition - and that it would be considered acceptable and signed off on and stuff :)

Or maybe the page owner never actually visited the website...
I like this idea in general.

However it’s hard to find work right now. If things are not obviously worse than they were the poster won’t have a strong hand.

Definitely start interviewing but wouldn’t quit until you have an offer (unless financially independent).

Then play this Johnny Paycheck classic on the way out :) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eIjEauGiRLo
This is a neat project.

That said, the documentation does this thing I see a lot where the author focuses entirely on things that are good. It repeats and clarifies things that are good (you can reduce the scopes of offline, but never increase the scope of tokens, and you can do it offline, without contacting servers. Any server can validate credentials because it uses public keys. And did we tell you about attenuating tokens?), but it kind of sweeps anything that is NOT a discriminator under a rug a bit. I don't think it's malicious. Creators get excited about the exciting bits of their project.

But there are a lot of details that may or may not be present, and if I'm evaluating your thing, I want to know which exist an which don't. Given a long-term token, can I create short-term, auto-expiring tokens? Is there some revocation mechanism? How do these things line up against JWT or OAuth? When should I prefer this, but also when should I NOT prefer this?

Still, I like a lot about the documentation. I love how it's not afraid to get into the weeds about EXACTLY what it does without losing the clarity. It's really easy to follow when it gets technical, which is rare.
Will do. Thanks for the heads up!
Rest in peace

I feel like I'm living in a constant state of cognitive dissonance. What happened to liberty and justice for all? Does fear and hate override it all?

I don't know how everyone else is handling it. I can't imagine how those with affected friends and family are coping.

Let's hope this becomes a catalyst for peace with every killing taking us one step closer towards that goal. It's the only way I have found to cope, but it seems so out of reach.
I'm guessing that the motivation for this change wasn't geofencing warrants in general, but more like the abusive use cases of authoritarian regimes such as "everyone who participated in a public protest", or "all attendees of this private meeting", etc.

Perhaps even more sophisticated queries like "any pairs of phones that move toward each other, are turned off, turned back on, and move away from each other".

> However, a greatly reduced disparity in living standards and material conditions does have positive social effects IMO. Consider that deaths of despair, poverty, and desperation are much higher under the Russian Federation than the USSR. I’m not saying that communism or socialism are good by any means, but I think there are real net benefits to low inequality sometimes even if they come at the expense of overall lower living standards.

It's interesting that the fear of being accused of sympathizing with Communism is so ingrained in the English speaking world that the simplest thought of claiming that inequality is bad and should be reduced must be coached in so many disclaimers of "but I'm not saying I like socialism" and "I'm sure living in that society was terrible".

I don't fault you, mind you. There's good reason to fear this backlash in a world that is rapidly equating Communism to Nazism and all forms of socialism and redistribution to Stalinism.

I know I'm making a mistake in posting this thought so plainly here, for example.
Information about the future can never reach us in the present, yet we tend to assume that the rules of physics will be the same in the future and make predictions about it. The inside of a black hole is inaccecsible in exactly the same way.
Feels like your argument is that they _shouldn't_ outsource cybersecurity, especially if they care about the results.

That never stopped any of these companies from doing it IMHO.
That was kinda the premise of Star Trek in that we had a barbaric past that we overcame. Highly doubt we'll see that future, sadly.
I've got a lot of experience on message boards too. I've never heard of accidental flamebait as a concept. Baiting a line (of fishing wire or text) is a deliberate act. Anyway,

What makes it flamebait is ... not the actual responses

What makes a comment flamebait is the effect it has on the thread

Aren't the actual responses to a comment the effect it has on a thread (as opposed to what you think the responses might be)?
It really is not. The 70b model just does not fit into RTX 4090. As seen in the same video for models that fit 4090 is about 2 times faster.

Basically the task is memory bandwidth bound and 4090 has 2x bandwidth of M3 Max. Incidentally you can get ~ the same memory bandwidth as M3 Max with newly released 7945WX Threadripper for $1400 + the cost of DDR5. And you will be able to scale the amount of RAM as much as you want for bigger models (currently up to 2TB) by just buying new RAM.

I deeply wish that the apple watch was a general computing device.

I want maps (not directions, maps, dammit), I want direct sensor readouts, I want developers to be able to build whatever it is capable of without having to color inside of Apple's lines.

However, I suspect I'll see all that around the same time I get command line access on an ipad.
So much this. Where I grew up in Kansas it can be bluebird skies in every direction with a clear weather forecast at 3pm and by 5pm it's nothing but darkness and hail.

Tornado alley is where warm air from the gulf collides into cold air coming from the NW. The line where these collide shifts around. Storms can form very unpredictably and rapidly.

On the one hand it's awe inspiring to see a massive thunderhead materialize out of nowhere in just a couple hours. On the other it means what the other commenter is saying is very misleading. Texas, where the other commenter is apparently from, is at the southern end of tornado alley and I believe not quite as dynamic, which may explain their attitude somewhat.
Someday, possibly quite soon, someone (probably a large number of several someones) in an ER might be saved from death or brain damage due to a better understanding of how brain tissue acts under a lack of oxygen and blood supply.

If we were living in a world where we don't eat or we constitute our food from raw materials directly then we could be questioning the morality if this, but we live in a world where we eat corndogs and fried chicken.

We can't yet live without killing something to eat (and plants are more alive than most give credit).

I'd say in our current context this kind of research, done as humanely as possible, should be allowed.

Deathrow prisoners are a non starter for a lot of practical reasons (not to mention a lot of clear cut moral and social ones).

You skipped an important part of the quote from RFC-7519[0] (later replaced by two RFCs[1],[2] without the strange suggestion):

Replaced by RFC-7797[1] and RFC-8725[2], neither of which have the pronunciation suggestion. There was also an errata about the pronunciation line[3], which probably explains the mismatch.

Has colors of the free will debate. We may not actually be creative, but that doesn't stop the illusion of creativity from being any less delicious or meaningful!
There is no particular "need" for profit, but by default most people will direct their labor and capital towards whatever earns them they highest profit. Attempts to impose central planning on food production inevitably lead to shortages, rationing, black markets, and famine.
That's a great idea. Thank you! I'll take it into account with the next iteration. The interviews part is going to be hard though. I don't know if that's allowed. :-)

While the analysis is all fine and dandy, and I have no reason to disagree with it, I wonder the relevance of it; in many (most?) countries only a tiny percentage of a population is in X. It's basically spamming for no purpose or influence.
Do you agree the important negative (often unconscious, based on cognitive bias) discrimination against minorities is a problem for the country competitiveness ? (negatively discriminated despite "merit")

Do you agree that reducing racial gap and gender gap in USA would be better for the country and its competitiveness ?

I am not a fan of quota, especially taken in isolation... But the underlying issued are huge, for a moral (not everybody have the same moral) but also economic standpoint
No, you have error in your formula: "d" is vector and "F" is also vector.

If you're inside a planet, the layer of the planet that's farther from the center than you cancels out. So you need to take only the sphere that's deeper than you. By moving closer to the center, that sphere shrinks, so m2 also diminishes to 0.

So the total force magnitude smoothly reduces to zero the closer you get to the center.
I looked a bit more into this program and its all a lot more complicated

1) The money was granted in 2020 based on an inaccurate map (leading starlink & others to get funding for covering places like Target's and major airports)

2) This Starlink-FCC debate has been a protracted process, since then the program has essentially failed (a third of the money has gone to companies that didnt deliver)

3) Since then significantly more funding has been given to states for broadband, making this FCC program relatively small

It seems like the FCC is clawing back as much money as possible to try and recover from the initial auction design.

I remember reading that there are biotech companies that basically engineer custom flavors for products like Coke and Doritos, flavor compounds that have a powerful impact and which no one else can get. Despite the engineered nature, they qualify for labeling as “natural flavors”.
