Last year we had an exchange student and an au pair, both of whom required their own room - so I got moved out of my office and into the space where our washer and dryer were. Aside from getting pretty warm in the summer, it was fine. My work reimbursed me for a nice pair of noise canceling headphones and that was the biggest issue.

I have since been relocated back into a bedroom after the student and Au Pair left. In some ways. The only downside really has been that the table next to me stayed in the room and my wife adopted it as her workspace…
Who cares if they work after 15 years? It's not like people buy Rolexes to keep track of time.
arXiv is for researchers in different science and mathematics subcommunities to post pre-prints, surveys, reviews, lecture notes, manuscripts, documentation, etc... but also historical/archival research, philosophy papers, and meta-essays, as long as they are relevantly targeted to the subcommunity.
It's huge for only having two bedrooms!
The article shows (fine tuned) Mistral 7B outperforming GPT-4, never mind GPT-3.5.
Technically the lack of dynamic current negotiation is already a problem, because plugging a 20A refrigerator into a 15A circuit will trip the breaker or even start a fire in older homes if the owner decides to put a 20A fuse on a 15A circuit. We just don't normally see it, because most appliances like microwaves are designed for 1200-1800W (10-15A) running on 15A circuits.
Huh? 75% of the people I know has an Apple device. Stop fooling yourself.
I think philosophically when we talk about non-causal "free will" it is "not scientifically understood", but that's different than "supernatural".

Just because our perception prevents us from predicting outputs from inputs in a way that appears random does not mean that it is just a chaotic system. This is part of the question posed by the original article: does quantum theory provide certain mechanisms that could permit non-deterministic agents to intervene in causal ways that are not predictable? Or would we have to appeal to the supernatural / mystic / divine in order for such a thing to even be possible?

Certain interpretations (e.g., the "Many Worlds" interpretation of QM) are more conducive to this possibility than others.

Generally, "free will" is simply stated as "the freedom to do otherwise". Returning to the "simulated brain" example -- if the computer simulation is faster than the "squishy brain" agent, then it has already predicted the outcome, and the "squishy brain" agent has no "freedom to do otherwise": the outcome is pre-determined.
You're killing me here. Yes, most humans seek to maximize their returns. Or course. I never argued they wouldn't.

Many authors would love for their heirs and assigns to be paid in perpetuity. They'd probably love a lot of things. That doesn't mean society is obligated to give those things to them.

My initial "snark" is a statement that J.R.R. Tolkien didn't create his works under the ridiculous copyright regime we have now.

That's an argument, to me, against the "necessity" of this regime. It serves to show that this regime is rent seeking, a windfall for existing copyright holders, and an impediment to competition.
Interesting.
I wonder what are the two most separated pages, i.e. pages with the longest path connecting them.

"it's rare to find someone who is really interested in making a synthesizer sound exactly like a guitar or a clarinet"

Perhaps that's because it's quite difficult to do that with synthesizers? Because once you start using samples, you loss the ability to play and modulate without it sounding like a sample?

I guess my counterpoint would be the massive popularity of Omnisphere, which combines a sophisticated sample-based synthesizer with good filters and a few other types of synthesis. Or would you consider this "organic" but not "realistic/acoustic"?
Ask HN: What do you consider the best way to protect a SaaS from bots?
I’m getting ready to launch a new AI SaaS. I’d like to offer a “try it for free without an account or credit card” option right on the home page. Unfortunately, due to (1) the cost of these GPUs, (2) the fact that I’m bootstrapping the service 100%, and (3) the fully automated nature of the backend infrastructure, the risk of bots targeting the website is not just a simple concern or inconvenience but rather something that could make it infeasible for me to continue running the service.

I’ve tested a number of potential solutions and I’m still coming up empty.

E.g., I could do like Troy Hunt [0] and rely on Cloudflare Turnstile [1], but unfortunately, after testing it, it doesn’t cut it:

1. Cloudflare claims Turnstile is “frustration-free” for users, but my personal experience says otherwise. I dislike the experience enough that I wouldn’t want my users experiencing it either.

2. Turnstile is actually easily bypassed. I found some web scraping-related services on the internet that claim to easily and programmatically bypass Turnstile for literal pennies*, but I didn’t 100% believe them, so I tested the services. <20 minutes later, I had a script running bypassing challenge after challenge for <$1.00.

3. The hyper-centralized nature of Cloudflare is something that never sits right with me. On one hand, I have tremendous respect for the great work they do and the awesome folks who work at the company (I personally know founders whose startups would probably no longer exist had it not been for Cloudflare’s DDoS protection services). On the other hand, they frankly control too much of the internet’s traffic for my liking.

I’m starting to realize that my only option seems to be to keep the service locked down only for authenticated users (maybe via Google**).

* I’m intentionally not linking to any of those services, but they’re very easy to find via Google.

** I’m not convinced that “Sign In with Google” solves this problem either, since a committed actor can easily create many Google accounts, but at least it’s more manageable. Also, centralization (via Google) is obviously also an issue with this option.

Both acts are wrong, but one of the wronged parties is a working class person trying to make ends meet, and the other is a multi-billion dollar conglomerate that is actively engaged in the theft that is victimizing the former. I'm far more concerned about the person than the corporate entity.
Nested folders aren't really the same thing. I want the notes themselves to have subnotes.

The way Zim implements that is it creates a file for your note, then creates a folder that contains all the images you put in that note and any subnote.

You could technically do the same in Obsidian, but I don't want to micromanage the file/folder structure.
Nor a distant security threat.
In practice, it seems most charging stations I see here in Switzerland have 3 different plugs: AC, CCS DC, and CHAdeMO. And half of them have an attached cable and half are BYO.

I am no expert, but I am in the process of transitioning over to NextJS. Reason being it's quite opinionated on how to structure your app / blog and you can produce a completely static website with it - not to mention that there is a very large community to learn and lean on if you get stuck.
If you haven't seen this, its a classic - but it shows the original price of a Rolex in the 70's vs. now. [0] To save you a watch - 1975 $345.95 - $500,000 at taping.

When I went looking for it I couldn't find much either. Which is why I quoted it instead of just regurgitating it as though I verified it's true.

It might be apocryhpal, but it's fun anyway. Especially since I grew up there.
I'm no expert but my recollection from last time I was looking into buying a watch is that quartz watches are 1-2 orders of magnitude more accurate than even top-end mechanical watches.
Yes, it is here. This is an implementation designed for education: the main purpose here is to understand the model architecture in a practical sense.

So lines of code and number of files are both meaningful. This is 1 short Python file, which makes it a lot easier to understand than a full optimized implementation.
Robb Report still considers them to be a beginner's watch, and treat the brand as only of interest to people who want to dip their toes into the higher end watch collecting waters.
Doris’s fork: Starrocks is better.
I don't like how matrix does it. I tried to get very technical people to use it and they struggled. Plus, they assume you have enough trust with your contacts to share with them your device details instead of just a unique identifier.
I have a couple of colleagues that collect watches - and one of them brought in a high-end replica, think he paid around $500 or so for it, and compared it to the real deal - which he also had. Some kind of Rolex submariner, don't remember what exact model.

To me, they looked identical. Felt identical. If you mixed them up and asked me which one was which, I'd be completely lost. He then pointed me to some youtube vids of people dissecting them, and it seems like you really have to bring out the microscope to tell.

I don't know much about watches, but I'm just thinking that if they are getting so accurate...why would regular people shell out 5 figures for a real one, when you can get those for a couple of hundred bucks?

Don't get me wrong - I like artisanry, but at this point it seems like you're paying the biggest upcharge for name, and nothing much else.

(As for why my colleague bought replicas, apparently he'd wear those while traveling, in case he got robbed or whatever. Even though insurance would cover the original watch, just getting a legit one from stores/dealers has been a huge hassle. Months of wait time, etc.)
For decades, fire management policy (state and federal) in California has been to suppress all fires. Naturally, fuel built up and the resulting fires became harder to control, until they were no longer able to control them.

That's a failure of government.
It’s still theft, sure. The point of the article is to contrast the police and lawmakers reaction based on wrong data. It’s a convenient story for police budgets and fear based politicians, and also much ado about nothing.

Edit: not that the thefts are nothing, but there is no surge, increase, things are not getting worse, thieves are not bolder, etc…

The gateway to 3d cad is a properly functioning 2d cad system.

At least, that’s how I view 3d.

At the very least, the tool should be able to do additive and subtractive operations (boolean). Union, add, subtract, intersect, etc.
I think that's the whole point of luxury watches. No rolex owner is under the illusion that they are somehow intrinsically worth so much.
This is a silly decision and should be overturned on appeal. Who knows if it will be.

Manufacturers place conditions on how their products are sold, at what price and to whom. "No online sales" is no different to requiring an authorized retailer to sell something at MSRP or no more than 1 or 2 or 3 per customer or only to local residents.

Crime is high when people have nothing to lose and something to gain. It shouldn't be so politically controversial to say that both carrot and stick are needed to prevent+reduce crime.
They released a base model. It is not instruction-tuned, so it won't really follow instructions unless you fine-tune it to do that.

"There are lots of Mistral fine-tunes. Why another one?

A very healthy ecosystem of Mistral fine-tunes already exists, but they’re typically optimized for direct use. We wanted something different — a model optimized to be the strongest base model for further fine-tunes to be built on."
Well then, I expect a therapy real soon now.
The industry uses a very amorphous metric called "shrink". It's the total delta between inventory the computer says should be there and inventory actually there. It includes product mistracked or mislaid and sometimes even includes product deliberately discarded for economic reasons. Shrink has always been 1-2% of sales, and retailers have long decided it isn't worth it to spend a lot to try and push the number lower.
Good point, though most of them probably don't do it for very long unless they're money laundering (I would argue the big companies like Coca Cola spending on brand maintenance get a good ROI). The list of people who buy Veblen goods who can't ever return a profit is too long to exhaustively list: almost all jewelry, luxury watches, art, and luxury cars for example. It's only dumb luck that a few Rolexes have resale value; they're probably one scandal away from destroying all that value.

A number of reasons.

Chiefly, a desire for privacy and anonymity. A signup will identify my interactions with an endpoint dedicated to me circumventing other privacy and anonymity measures I take such as fingerprint resisting and use of VMs and VPNs.

Also, sharing my email puts me at risk of having my email forwarded against my will or without my consent, as well as potentially clogging my inbox with endless "promotional updates".

Finally, I am unable to make an informed decision whether the risks of sharing my email with this company is worth the utility of the tool it provides until after I try it.

I think a fair response to your question is a question of its own: What do they want with my email?
> "Shrink", an industry term to describe all inventory losses from multiple causes, including theft.

Including? So what other things is it from if organized theft is only like 5%.
Bidirectional isn't benchmarked here, and only mentioned once offhand:

> For example, we could already start searching for elements at the slot with expected (average) displacement from their perfect slot and probe bidirectional from there. In practice, this is not very efficient due to high branch misprediction rates and/or unfriendly access pattern.

I think this indicates a regular Robin Hood insertion and modified search, which doesn't sound that similar to Amble and Knuth's method. And anyway the relative costs of mispredictions and cache misses vary wildly based on workflow (paper studies 8-byte keys only). The paper also doesn't present Robin Hood as a clear winner, which is how I interpreted your comment. It's shown as one of five suggestions in the decision graph at the end, and only recommended for load factors between 50% and 80% among other conditions.

Edit: And the paper is from 2015, not the last five years. Is this the right link?
They should just return to the 19th century retail model where customers orders are fulfilled by clerks. Shrinkage will be reduced to whatever the dishonest employees are taking for themselves.
A "small minority" means "a lot less than 50%," which is true. He may be the largest shareholder, but he has a minority stake, and his stake is not even close to a majority.

Shareholders do not vote in isolation to each other, they can coordinate. The coordinator usually is the company management, but it can be activist investors. An activist can get enough votes to do something with Tesla without talking to Musk - this is not the case at Google or Facebook.

Windows does that, persists a seed in the registry, but it's not enough.

I used org-mode for a while, but I just don't like emacs to be honest. Especially on Windows (which I'm forced to use at work)... my experience it the plugins are just not written with Windows in mind, doing stuff like hard-coding link logic with unix syntax.

Also, at least for my use case which is to find random notes I took about stuff 2 years before and that's hidden God knows wheres, I find the way Zim does it to be superior because it allows fuzzy searching on a note basis.

For example: you can't remember how to kill and recreate a new default-vm to fix docker-machine, you search "default vm", and it will find all the files that have both "default" and "vm" in them, even if they're not on the same line.

> Li began collaborating with two professors at the University of San Francisco: Hani Goodarzi, also an incoming Arc Institute Core Investigator, and Laura Van’t Veer, a clinician who leads the I-SPY 2 Trial, a groundbreaking breast cancer trial.

These famous researchers are actually at UCSF, not University of San Francisco. UCSF is really a leader in breast cancer the world over, far more influential than Stanford's much smaller amount of faculty on the topic. So it's a bit weird to see such a basic mistake.
If it's anything but journalism, I won't read a book written by a journalist. They almost always lack the expertise to be reliable.
I think the difference here is that the smaller sites aren’t a black market necessarily; they’re presumably not generally _illegal_, simply not liable to extra scrutiny as “Very Large Online Platforms”.

There are a bunch of other EU rules (under the DMA, DSA, GDPR etc) which de facto if not de jure only apply to very large players, but the difference is that most of the rules are either non-obvious to the user (the average user has no idea that sites want to sell their data, and if told that the GDPR restricts that will either see that as good or will not care), or obviously positive to the user (no-one is leaving threads because the cruel Digital Markets Act forces it to provide a non-logged-in browsing mode). A rule which is annoying to many users but can be evaded by just switching to an unsupervised smaller player seems unlikely to work.
Nope, my son has them (5 in total) stashed under the stairs where they still manage to generate enough heat & noise to make me question the placement. Still, pretty chuffed that he's managed to do it all himself.
Now you're just making stuff up instead of doing a simple Google search. Regular Seikos (ie a Seiko 5) can expect around +-20 sec per day. Same with Orient and similar brands that use very cheap automatic movements. Rolex watches often do better than +-2sec per day. If you think the difference between the two is marketing you are either engaging in sophistry or painfully uninformed.
It’s not better, but the underlying cause of the situation is entirely different, meaning the solution to the problem probably has to be different.

If it was organized crime, the likely answer is investigations and law enforcement presence. You would have specific centralized targets to take out and restore order.

If it’s instead a widespread epidemic of individual shoplifting, the issue is going to be social (or likely socioeconomic, in any reasonable guess) and probably requires a complex solution that is way out of the hands of what retailers can reliably put resources towards.

This is important information for the businesses, their shareholders, the communities they are located in, the politicians serving those communities and likely many other minor interested parties.
