Moderately effective anti phishing. Your real bank's domain is older than last week.
This will be really cool once there's the ability to generate the sparse predictor files for arbitrary models rather than just the 4 they've done it with. Looking through the page and code it doesn't seem like the tools to do that step are included. Guess I'll wait on this one a bit. Hopefully these features will be merged back into llama.cpp as options eventually since this is based on the normal llama.cpp code (ie, not just using the ggml matrix lib).
Well said.

Too often code is a proxy for complexity being added unnecessarily, consciously or unconsciously.

Premature optimization or over-engineering or burning your innovation points on shiny object syndrome can create technical debt in a different way than just taking shortcuts.
we can keep up with well-reasoned arguments, it's just that the words that you're typing are incoherent. i guess we can assume that you think racial profiling is ok and being against it is "shitty"?
A bit ironic for the Intercept to write an article about this, considering they did the same thing to Reality Winner.

To be fair I think she would have been caught regardless. But the Intercept made investigators' jobs way easier.
> If you meant a very good autocomplete then yes that's exactly what they are. However, predicting the next word in an autocomplete can be naive or rather involved.

People keep trying to apply them as autocompleters... that doesn't mean they're good at it.
It seems that people do not understand that capacity factor is the #1 criteria when building an electricity grid.

Electricity grids do not have the luxury of being able to shut down, they must meet the demand every day of the year, every minute of the year

Technologies with an higher capacity factor are inherently more valuable than the ones who don't and technologies with an unpredictable capacity factor are worth even less than those two.
A powerful plunger!
I don't think this concept is helpful, honestly. If the brain is deterministic, then you would be able to fully simulate it in a regular von Neumann computer, and as a result you'd be able to predict someone's actions and choices with perfect accuracy, which leaves no space for any agency or "ghost in the machine".
The only thing that keeps me on a Mac is familiarity, and air macs are silent. I am open to any suggestions for Linux laptops that are quiet or almost silent, most have fans that rev up, I'll gladly sacrifice some CPU for quiet or even a quiet mode (easy switch on/off). Nothing I've seen matches the silence. I'm more than happy to hear anything that proves me wrong. I would be glad to hear about something like that, obviously it has to have plus like either cheaper/replaceable ram. Furthermore, I mostly use my Mac air as a remote terminal to web based services and my Linux server that I use for compiling bigger projects and home/self-hosting.
> Neither truth nor intention plays a role in the operation of a perfect language model. The machine merely follows the narrative demands of the evolving story. As the dialogue between the human and the machine progresses, these demands are coloured by the convictions and the aspirations of the human, the only visible dialog participant who possesses agency.

This is a really good way of thinking about these models. It reminds me of the recent-ish story where a reporter got really creeped out Bing's OpenAI powered chatbot (https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/16/technology/bing-chatbot-m...). Reading that, I had thought the bot was relatively easily led into a narrative the reporter had been setting up. In a conversation between actual people who have their own will and agency, you don't get to see one leading the other around by the nose so completely.

Reframing the problem as one of picking through the many threads of potential fictions to evolve a story makes it easier to explain what happened in that particular case.
It's a really big improvement, I don't want to mess around with some random app or some credit card reader.
Having experienced it I'd never go back
They do, but they're vanishingly rare. Recommending hiring 10x engineers is roughly equivalent to recommending hiring actual geniuses. Yes, if you can, it's great (as long as you know how to work with them. If you don't, you're much better off not hiring them) -- but there are very, very few around to be hired.

I remember writing in the 1990's that future warfare would be largely styrofoam gliders like you can buy at Hobby Lobby with cheap motors, autopilots, and explosives.

The people who bothered to listen told me that (1) it would never work, and that (2) I was now on a watch list because such implements would inly be useful for terrorist attacks, and could never be used for military engagements.
Even though not all architectures have an RTC or strong PRNG instructions, almost all of them have writable storage in the form of NVRAM/NAND/disk.

Why can’t they just patch up the kernel to persist PRNG state there and require that the boot loader recovers it upon reboot? The kernel would then have high quality random data available as soon as it gets launched.

Well, IT/Engineering as a cost center is everyday corporate life.
That generation cost is also far far higher than the cost of new solar. New floating offshore wind, a new technology that is "expensive," is about at that generation cost.

Even the $6B here amounts to roughly $0.08/kWh, which is far higher than the alternative uses of the money.

Electricity is expensive in California not because we use renewables, but because we have not switched to them, and because PG&E has astronomical costs for its grid. We need CPUC to start pushing back harder here.
yes.

use gpt4 daily for general support with linux, aws, cpp, go, bash, and python.

it would be nice if it was more capable, but it’s already worth its weight.
Why mot for everyone?
We shouldn't be expanding nuclear power in California. We have so much sun, so much wind, and so much open, undeveloped land.

The calculus for other places (low-sun, low-wind) will certainly be different, but I don't think it's useful or productive to build new nuclear plants in CA.

I think it's the correct move to keep this plant running: it works, today, and shutting it down would undoubtedly mean picking up the slack with more natural gas burning, at least in the medium term, and that would be bad. But building more? I just don't see the need.
Hey HN, thought it'd be cool to see what music we'd make. You can listen to the other music people have created too.

It's pretty accessible since it uses only text descriptions to create the music, but the output is good.

Classic straw man argument, there's a pretty big difference from a walkable and incrementally more dense neighborhood and Manhattan.

We're not going to tear down and rebuild everything all at once, it's going to take time and work to get us out of the massive car dependent hole we've dug for ourselves. It seems Atlanta has massively oversupplied (to it's own detriment) parking and prioritized space for cars, and neglected to consider that cities depend on attracting a sufficent density of humans.

https://www.bizjournals.com/atlanta/news/2022/07/11/atlanta-...

> Studies conducted prior to the pandemic indicate that only 30% of nearly 100,000 parking spaces in Downtown Atlanta are used during peak hours.
I have a lot of love and respect for calibre.

Since I’ve started playing around with logseq/obsidian for one point of note taking the value of having your notes and annotations from books and YouTube videos in one place is too close to making all that reading more useful and introduce it into practice :)
I'm not primarily talking about random crap from random people; I'm talking about making a conscious effort to learn more about a specific topic. I really don't know how to explain this better than I already did. You keep trying to turn this in to a "people on random sites saying stupid stuff" vs. ChatGPT thing, but that's not what this is about. But even there, of course you shouldn't believe random stuff on the internet, but at the same time it does have some mechanisms for correction that ChatGPT lacks.

In their second sentence they have the most honest response I've seen so far at least: " averaged across 4 diverse customer tasks, fine-tunes based on our new model are _slightly_ stronger than GPT-4, as measured by GPT-4 itself."
The CPUC is so completely captured by PG&E that I don't really trust much of what they say when they agree with PG&E on things.

That's not to say that they aren't correct, but I refuse to give them any kind of blanket trust.

You may be nit-picking here, but it underscores my point: this tech isn't going anywhere, and fretting about it is not productive.
Surely AI training can be cast as annealing, so we can get double hype.
JSX is redundant, at best. VanJS demonstrated ordinary JavaScript syntax is as good as JSX, if not better. How can something feel sugar-ish if it's actually more verbose than ordinary JS code? Plus, you can't really execute JSX code in browser's developer console.
Probably I did this wrong but I’m getting an approximation of 300K H100s completes that in a month. At least they choose something fairly large it seems. Not sure how LoRA or other incremental training is handled.

They were really lucky that investing $millions on a software ecosystem to enable HPC to researchers take advantage of vector processing units they also spent $millions to produce paid off.

Channel your inner Balmer
I wonder if stuff like this can be thwarted by having a constant flow of encrypted junk traffic between two parties - only replacing the junk with real data (but not changing the volume) when they're actively communicating.

Obviously, this doesn't scale for something like social media. But metadata regarding one-on-one conversations using something like Signal could be effectively obscured.
UX's U is an imaginary quantum superstition of you, and your brethen
Perceptions are not reality

They matter just as much, especially on a nerd messageboard which is also not reality. The convention of not-aggro-paraphrasing-with-quotes is not aimed at your one thing, it's a result of long observation of its effects. And as I said, I don't like the weird punctuation prescriptivist part of it either but it's not really about the punctuation.

I acknowledged it's an obviously bad comment by suggesting you flag it and downvote it. It didn't really seem worth saying anything more since you pointed out the problem with replying to bad comments with bad comments yourself.

As an outsider: what exactly is it about "routers" that justifies so much change? Aren't there plenty of established designs to copy from other stateful UI frameworks?
An incredibly powerful GUI library. Not easy to use, only for experienced developers. It's quite useful for scientific visualization as well! Many kudos to the main developer and the community.
Sure, because we all know these safety systems are 100% reliable, and nothing like Fukushima (yes, I know, not quite the same conditions, but that's not the point) could happen again.

It was the last iteration of refinement on the UI that was designed for 95. NT was meant to have its own shell, but that didn't pan out so the 95 shell was ported over.
I like the UI, desktop and mobile. A few bumps to work out, but it's new and actively developed.

SPACs (basically going public as a shell corp) are chosen specifically because it allows company insiders to cash out their equity without disclosing as much as regular IPO companies.
Well maybe you hope ..have skin in this game... as nothing is for certain. Hybrids seems to becoming even more popular as well other car manufacturers are looking into hydrogen and other sources.

In five to ten years we'll see if indeed there are more EV chargers everywhere like there are currently gas stations. An infrastructure that's over a 100 years old.

I'm all for new tech but as a UX professional new tech needs to provide an even better experience which personally something like a key fob (can be RFID hacked, you lose the fob you have to get your car towed to dealer and pay additional / hundreds for a new key fob)is a terrible UX compared to just a metal key (can't be hacked.. can easily drive to dealer to have a metal key made).
So what? We don't get a do-over. The evacuations -- and all the bad outcomes that followed -- happened.
I wonder if they could supplement their income by being an ISP? the "last mile" is (apparently) the single biggest cost in that industry as well. For the low, low cost of a few fibre lines (which can snarf down 100s of gigabits these days) you can provide "last mile" services to anyone at the end of your tunnel thanks to 5G. If you got even more fancy, design the system so you can drill into it anywhere along the way, and robotically add new taps (not to the fibre, but to copper or microwave lines) along the way. They have directional drilling already for drilling under highways or angled oil/gas pipelines.
If it's all new, I guess that's one thing. But in general, if LAION wanted to know if this content was in the collection, they could have queried the same database. Some new heuristics turned up others, but I mean the basic search could have been done.

But this is not a design problem, all clustered DB work like that this is more a configuration issue.
Well this was actually quite a long time ago, and it's really "then-girlfriend" – it's just that "girlfriend" reads better and it doesn't really matter. Didn't have to insert any money (which I specifically recall because it surprised me).

But whether you or I consider it "normal" isn't really important, she considered it "normal", and I can only assume that's because when she grew up everyone was doing it and it was "normal".

There’s nothing straw man about it, it’s reality of suburbanite life.

I’ve worked in “walkable” office parks and have the time the guys at the office would get in a car and still drive elsewhere. It doesn’t solve for the overall problem.

The only way to actually eliminate the drive-to-a-place problem is dense Manhattanesque cities where vehicles are prohibitive for the average Joe and robust public transit exists to allow Joe to make a quick jaunt down the road.
Tap & Pay still requires you to fiddle with a station and slows you down. If you are plugging in at home (which is our target market), the fewer interactions needed the better. Imagine every time you get home you need to take your wallet out, tap the machine, wait for some 3rd party api to talk to the charger in the dimly lit basement, and then and only then you can leave. This is like 30 seconds of your day wasted.

Plus, ultimately we want to make charging as cheap as possible and having to pay the $.30 interchange fee each time a user plugs in would add a ton of overhead to our cost model.
I don't get you. Could you elaborate?
Some people like to have a trial and a conviction between the "accusation" and "consequences" steps; but whatevs.

Edit to reply generally:

The 14th Amendment: https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/amendmentxiv

Indeed Sec 3 does not specifically require a conviction.

However Sec 1 requires "due process of law" before abridging the privileges of citizens; as well. I hafta say that argues strongly to me that someone must have been found guilty of "insurrection or rebellion" before Sec 3 could apply.

However the entire question is a PR exercise and rallying troll; because the CO Republican party has already announced their intention to return to Caucusing, instead of Primary, if they need to.

Uh huh. Causing the U.S. sanctions, Foreign Assets Control, and taxation regime to fall over overnight because the populace et al will refuse refuse to implement AML/KYC/OFAC/IRS reporting.

In short, what you propose is the complete dismantling of most of the U.S. regulatory state. Which, of course, the bureaucrats will assuredly take in stride.

Honestly, it may not matter if companies don't want it.

Consumers are going to demand it, and it may be necessary before EV's become ubiquitous, assuming they do. One thing that has helped their case in the US is that payments have historically been a pain in the ass anyway, compared to many other countries. That is changing though.

Not sure why you're comparing utility-scale generation in Japan to tiny-scale residential generation here. I doubt many people building utility-scale solar farms on the ground are falling off roofs during those builds.

Rate of accidents for linemen is irrelevant; you need that sort of work regardless of your generation source.
So the ETF will be more expensive. That’s always the case, as there’s also a management fee. It will still open up the market for many retail and institutional. It will also be good for custodians and exchanges, such as coinbase.

And for the price sensitive among them, it will cause more demand on actual crypto.
You might be interested in doing a search for "incremental reading". See in particular articles from the Supermemo project.
I would have thought the most relevant Borges story to LLMs would be Funes, the memorious.

Funes can remember everything perfectly, every detail that he has ever seen or heard in his life. However, he cannot really think or understand what he has seen, because understanding requires forgetting, it requires generalization.

LLM's can only think insofar as they need to generalize over their inputs. If it's just a memorizing parrot, that is not a good LLM.
disagree. see my comment above
I'd say the article omitted the animus towards Nkrumah from the UGCC (his former party). This opposition was manifested in their attempts to derail his rule from independence to his overthrow (there is some evidence they were in cahoots with the CIA et. al). Thus, the popular reactions to Nkrumah's policies were not only based on their merits.

This opposition, which forms the basis of one of Ghana’s main political lineages, called the UP tradition, is partly tribal in motivation. The Akans (the main ethnic group, who mostly support the UP tradition) see themselves as the central core of the nation, but their allegiance is mostly to the King. They have this sense of needing to take back control of the country, similar to the way white Americans might feel threatened by a supposed loss of control to minorities. But while the Akans have a can-do attitude, they are usually not good administrators and planners.

So I'd say this rivalry, based on resentment of the initial success of Nkrumah’s tradition in particular, and resentment of uppity minority ethnic groups in general, is a major factor in Ghana's perennial inability to realize its full potential.

This factor in Ghana's politics continues down to this day. Rawlings’ was a Ewe, as the article notes, and his (P)NDC was the third major political lineage in Ghana (after the UP and Nkrumah’s CPP). The UP tradition was again a thorn in their flesh, even before multi-party democracy was restored. The current president (from this same political lineage) is hated by many for taking the country back to a period of massive corruption and economic malaise. I'm not too political, but I tend to agree; he gives off the air of a 70s era politician, radically unprepared to lead a 21st century country, very corrupt, intolerant of criticism, not in control of things, and afraid of a coup. Many Ghanaians would claim that he was elected primarily based on support emanating from this conflict, and not because of demonstrating any competence.

Hey, can you please not post like this to HN? We have to ban accounts that do. Don't get me wrong—I understand and personally enjoy this sort of barbed satire, but we can't allow it on HN because it evokes a cascade of garden-variety internet slop, most of which is flammable.
