That's fair. You do "you", I'll do "me", and we'll both have a very merry [seasonal holiday of togetherness of your choice]. So long as we're saying what we want in the way of gifts, here's what I want. What I want is to push the envelope of what can be done with SQL well past what should be done, not as a practical matter but as a theoretical one. In my view, accumulated received wisdom causes people to err too far in the other direction. They stop well short of what can be done practically with just SQL, out of an outsized an unexamined fear of what shouldn't be done in SQL.

I don't literally want just a SQL user interface to my applications, but I like to imagine if I did, think about the potential problems, then try to be resourceful in solving those problems right within SQL before giving up and resorting to other tools. I believe you can go very far with this approach, maybe not all the way, but farther than people tend to give SQL credit for. At the end of the day, I still need something else in addition to SQL, but the "something else" turns out to be smaller and less involved than it would have been had I been governed by the accumulated received wisdom.
IIRC Mistral’s architecture is llama-2. They just trained it from scratch with undisclosed data and techniques.
Yeah it's crazy out here. It looks like the low interest rates of 2020 seems to be the cause of the low availability and since those are fixed rates, it incentives people to not sell lowering houses on the market even more.

This seems incredibly counter to good sleep hygine. There's extensive evidence that even relatively low levels of light harm sleep quality; blue light from white LEDs is particularly disruptive to circadian rhythm, and if you're having trouble falling to sleep, this seems like an excellent way to just ramp up your anxiety?

One of the best things I did for sleep anxiety was to NOT have a bedroom clock at all, my phone goes face-down, I disabled my watch's auto-backlight functions, and I've tried very, very hard to not try and figure out the time once I'm "going to bed." Thankfully my e-reader also doesn't have a clock displayed unless you tap something, so if I wake up, I can read (with an orange book reading light) until I'm sleepy.

The only lights I have that are on once I'm in bed are red LED night-lights (finding them was surprisingly tough.)

Literally never has determining what time it is helped me get back to sleep.

Ask HN: Sustainability and open air heated swimming pools
I'm traveling through a state well-known world-wide for its virtue-signaling on sustainability (climate/environmental).

My motel has an open air heated swimming pool and hot tub. And it's cold outside.

All of yesterday, I was the only person who used either.

Two vats containing thousands of gallons of water. One heated to a very high temperature, the other to a slightly lower temperature. All year long, 24/7. Steam constantly rising from both.

How do they (the state's government/activists/citizens) justify this? Is this energy coming from a green source and cannot be used elsewhere?

That is the closest so far I think. It is interesting that the filter blurs raster images differently than it does a block of text. I applied your filter on this page: https://svg-video-filters.glitch.me/index-2.html. I had to add `x="0" y="0"` to <filter> to make it work.

What are the attributes in the tiling patterned supposed to do? Changing them seemed to have no effect on the image in my test page.

I don't think it's an unpopular opinion. X is very popular (there's a reason there's so much sequel material for it). I just find the Zanarkand stuff to be a real lead weight on the story, and the emotional heft of the story requires you to care about Tidus, which I absolutely do not.

X-2 is silly but I at least sympathized with the characters. The entire party in X could be eaten by Sin for all I care.

There are entities in the US that have the power to change this, and in the end, it’s congress and senators. But those to not act on something that apparently every soul in the US would benefit from, because politics, lobbying, etc. The power is there, it’s just not being wielded, and it seems that the reason is because these people are more afraid of vested interests than they are of you, the people. I would like to understand why and what would be a solution.
There's definitely some people (like you) who run a lean setup, and honestly you're probably best off not changing anything right now.

> I just don't use much electricity except in summer, and the savings from heat pumps, solar cells and batteries would never pay back.

I think it's a little unfair to expect the tech to pay itself off quickly, but it _is_ reasonable to expect the savings to cover the difference between a gas furnace and a heat pump for example.

As brettel tells you:

that's not how it works. we can find plenty of rejections based on non-patent prior art.
I think it did with Mixtral and MoE.

I think people talk about the models because the architectural details are generally inaccessible for us since we don't have sufficient training (which it requires quite a lot to have an intuitive understanding I believe). Whereas the models are easily downloaded and tested.

a lot of people dont seem to know this hack, but its a clever use of timing attack chained to a duplication glitch that you can use to max out wealth early in the game.

- Duplicate your uterus (jump twice on an alarm clock against a wall while conceiving to push out of bounds), which cant exist twice, so one of the kids gets normal stats and the other gets NaN/NULL.

- have kids and then assign one of them 1 cent. write the NaN a cheque for -1 dollar.

- just as youre assigning your birth certificates, let the second child cash the first childs cheque. as neither has a name this results in an overflow for the second childs checking account of 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 dollars.

- the first child does not have zero dollars, but instead their name becomes 9,223,372,036,854,775,807.

- assign the childs name. since the name cant be assigned twice, the childs checking account inherits the integer as input overflow. NaN now has the first childs assigned name.
The key difference is you are licensed and entitled to read the Linux source code.

GTA 5 hasn’t been licensed to you and you are absolutely not entitled to read it, even if you managed to get hold of it due to a theft. By reading it as an app developer you taint your knowledge with stolen intellectual property and stolen trade secrets, potentially exposing yourself and any game you work on (including for an employer) to criminal and civil penalties.

That’s the immense value of open source and Linux in specific. You are allowed to read it, improve it, rip out bits that are useful (as compliant with the license), and use the concepts as fully licensed intellectual property without trade secret encumbrance.

I am personally really interested in reading the source and see how they do things. I’m certain there’s fascinating bits of tech in there. But I wouldn’t underestimate the risk I would put myself, my family, and my employer at and the willingness of corporations to crush the small guy. See the pain inflicted by downloading mp3s, and the marginal value of copying an mp3 is infinitesimal compared to the source code of a AAA game to the studio.

> I mean, what if there are actual technical limitations of whatever browser you'd like to use that prevent, for example, the on-the-fly playback of 4K video?

This is the core of what you were asking, perhaps my answer was too roundabout for you. What I'm trying to tell you is that:

- This question is a hypothetical because it's not true, you can encode videos to play on every platform so long as it's browser supported, this is not 2013

- There is not a technical floor in video playback of even 4k videos unless you are playing on something like a first gen raspberry pi, and even then, bandwidth constraints necessitate multi-quality video support regardless

- VR and other "manners of entertainment" are moving goal posts and irrelevant to this discussion

- Streaming content to multiple platforms is a solved problem, if you failed to accomplish this then it sounds to me that you probably couldn't do your job

- Using platform based attestation to resolve this technical incompetentcy is an unreasonable solution to the problem and deserving of complaints
I think that might have been more true several 8-12 months ago. But now it feels like the momentum has swung towards open source. Multiple models are close to or exceeding GPT 3.5 now. They can do a lot of useful things.

I have come to the conclusion that as much as possible I should try to wean myself off of OpenAI immediately. Because it's just not necessary or desirable to be tied to a single vendor anymore for many tasks. And in 2024 the open source capabilities will continue to increase. Soon everyone with a relatively new computer will be running things like LLMs locally. Within a couple of years it will be integrated into every OS or browser.

I don't think it's exactly a tilt into anime per se...

FF1-6 & 9 had very distinctive characterization and art styles, with out of proportion characters. A lot of it was forced by technical limitations of the NES/SNES, but it's a style that we grew to love.

7, 8, and the rest -- not so much; it's a much more mainstream aesthetic.

By statistics and common sense. Men and women are different and behave differently.

Certainly more women would vote this up. Doesn't preclude men from doing it, but I imagine it would be far less. Just a educated guess based on demographics. Just like saying conservatives vote for trump or liberals vote for Biden. The generality is true even if the pedantic technicality is not.

* Local computation. I have fast chips, I don't mind using them.

* Privacy. Do your competitors track me but you don't? Let me know.

I'll answer your question.

Imagine a gadget that can amplify good ideas no matter how obscure they might be and you'll understand why your way of thinking is outdated. AI doesn't disincentivize sharing good ideas because if my content is included in the training set then it is very likely to have an outsized effect on whatever other content is already included in the mix because I am certain any true future intelligence will realize my genius and use my writing as conceptual fertilizer.

You might disagree with this answer but it is the right answer. If you care for taking credit then you should be writing as much as possible to pre-emptively take credit for any "idea" that an AI might accidentally stumble upon which would have been similar to what you would have come up with on your own. Generative AI is basically a DJ mix table and every once in a while it comes up with something clever like a thousand monkeys typing on keyboards and regenerating the works of Shakespeare.

More can be said about all of this but I am certain my perspective is the correct one based on what I know about computers, software, and how it all fits together in the soon to be "panoptic computronium cathedral"™.

> Is there a right to free content?

No, but there's also not a right to force others to consume content. Websites are within their rights to send ads to my browser, and/or to make users pay to get ad-free content, and I am within my rights to block ads if I don't want to see them, or just not visit their site at all (the latter is mostly what I do). This isn't a contest of theft on one side vs. honest toil on the other. It's a straightforward conflict of interest--websites want to show me ads that I don't want to see--which leads to a straightforward arms race of ads vs. ad blocking.

> When you block an ad you reduce the content creator's salary.

No, I don't; I'm not paying the content creator a salary by viewing an ad. I am simply not participating in the content creator's chosen business model. The content creator has no right to force me to do so. He does have the right to detect that I'm using an ad blocker and simply refuse to show me his content at all in that case. And then I'll just go surf somewhere else.

If the content creator wants me to pay him for his content, he should set up a Patreon or a Substack or something like that. There are perfectly good vehicles available for people to get paid for the content they write without having to clutter it up with ads. If a content creator chooses not to do that, that's his choice, and choices have consequences.

> This is the piracy fight all over again.

No, it isn't. Using an ad blocker is not piracy; I'm not going and fetching content behind the back of the copyright holder. I'm just refusing to view content I don't want.

> If enough people don't do that then the content won't be there.

Which for me at least would be no great loss. Given the content that I usually see with ads, I would be perfectly fine with not having it at all. Which is why, as I said above, I mostly just don't go to websites that insist on showing me ads; their content isn't worth enough of either my money or my attention to make me even care about entering the ads. vs. ad blocking arms race with them.

TIL there is units command line tool.
FPGA: Lattice ice40up5k

Toolchain: Yosys.

For the convenience of most end users we configure and lock the FPGA. This allows them to start using it right away. The core cryptographic technology relies on a Unique per Device Secret (UDS). If we didn't lock the FPGA's configuration memory from reads a physical attacker would be able to read it out in seconds.

Users that want to provision their own hardware design / FPGA configuration / bitstream can simply buy the TKey Unlocked and the TKey Programmer. They can then configure the on-die OTP NVCM and lock the FPGA themselves. Configuration and locking of the ice40up5k was not possible to do with open tooling until we made it happen, as part of the project to create the TKey.

Since you seem knowledgeable it might interest you that:

* The OTCP NVCM uses antifuse technology, so it's most likely not possible to read out the UDS with an electron microscope. The physical attacker will have to circumvent the locking mechanism and read out the NVCM through probing.

* One of the pins can be used to toggle SPI slave configuration mode even after NVCM has been configured and locked. This allows a physical attacker to configure their own bitstream. Unfortunately EBR and SPRAM also keep their state across warm reboots. As mitigations we (1) store the UDS in LCs until it is used by the KD, (2) use our TRNG to randomize when the UDS readout happens, (3) accelerate the hashing (Blake2s G function) in LCs, (4) randomize address and data layout using a non-cryptographic PRP, and some other things I don't remember at the moment. Depending on the user's security concerns we recommend the use of a user-supplied secret in addition to the UDS. In that case the TKey by itself doesn't contain all the key material, making a physical attack insufficient. The KDF can be read in the manual.

Edit: Clarified _physical_ attacker. Added details about the chip.
