From my understanding their numbers have been fairly accurate throughout the years, do you have any specific examples of prior extreme discrepancies? (Because from what I followed, even the US believes those numbers to be accurate, but I would be happy to be corrected)

Wait, you get an update cycle done in 10-30s? I feel like on mine I download an update over the course of 3 weeks, and then it takes 4 hours to apply. Also every time I touch a game it needs to be updated, which takes another 4 hours.

All in all, I have been trained to never touch a console after I haven't used it for a day or two.
While Bitcoin is designed to reward high energy consumption the opposite is true for the fiancial system, since lower energy costs would make the different processing entities earn higher margins.

Thus, the financial system provides much more utility for the energy it consumes than bitcoin does.

When I learned about the limited supply of Bitcoin, I thought, "Great, no more rampant currency printing!" But then they developed the fork technology, which can split one Bitcoin into countless pieces. I guess I underestimated the extent of human greed. Thankfully, it's all digital and our math can handle it.
"The data" that you link to doesn't support your assertion that people in third world countries use bitcoin to protect themselves from hyperinflation.

Again, from their About page:

We are currently working on extending the USTC to 1700. Director Andrew Pettegree acknowledges that the end of the seventeenth century would be a far more logical end point for the USTC. “At the moment the survey concludes half way through the Dutch Golden Age, and misses the great flourishing of print in the France of Louis XIV and the expansion of the London press in the years after the Restoration. Incorporating the second half of the seventeenth century would also take in crucial developments in the history of the newspaper, science and the early Enlightenment. But it is a tough assignment: at this state in the development of the print industry, each fifty year extension potentially doubles the size of the resource. That’s a lot of staff time to gather and analyse the data.”

I think I've seen a video where they take the metrics they ask to collect (and everyone I've seen opts out) where the more buttons were clicked in office the bigger and further to the left they moved.

I find it weird based on my comment that windows and office is built around people who choose not to opt out either by ignoring the dialogs or by knowing what it's used for and hoping their metrics make some difference. Unfortunately I think it's mostly just people wanting to be a part of the product who really participate in user voice a lot of the time so we get weird design choices sticking like the mystery meat cut copy paste in windows 11
It's not just social media... I think at this point, every newspaper I've read has more or less started saying that Israel is seriously screwing up, and there is especially unanimity in saying that Netanyahu needs to go.

I'm not going to try to enumerate Israel's mistakes, but when you decide to invite a coterie of journalists to the hospital you destroyed to provide proof of your claims that it was actually a hive center of terrorist activity, and all of them come away basically saying "this evidence isn't good enough," then that should be a sign that it's not PR that's the problem of Israel, it's Israeli actions that are the problem that needs addressing.

And on a personal level, I'm ashamed that my government is giving such unconditional support to a country that is acting in that manner.

Using average cost analysis for a marginal trip decision can lead you to a wrong conclusion. If you "must" have a car for essential life function L (commuting to work perhaps), then it's entirely reasonable to burden many of the fixed costs of car ownership onto that activity and mentally charge only the marginal costs to a marginal trip (like going out to dinner some random evening).
There's not really a problematic upper bound for global transaction volume on transactions per second with the lightning network. There are other problems in terms of adoption and infrastructure etc, but the actual potential for humankind to have a single currency global low-barrier payment system is there. But this is more like the early days of the internet. The internet seemed pointless to most people even as late as the 90's.

I’ve got my stuff rigged to hit mixtral-8x7, and dolphin locally, and 3.5-turbo, and the 4-series preview all with easy comparison in emacs and stuff, and in fairness the 4.5-preview is starting to show some edge on 8x7 that had been a toss-up even two weeks ago. I’m still on the mistral-medium waiting list.

Until I realized Perplexity will give you a decent amount of Mistral Medium for free through their partnership.

Who is sama kidding they’re still leading here? Mistral Medium destroys the 4.5 preview. And Perplexity wouldn’t be giving it away in any quantity if it had a cost structure like 4.5, Mistral hasn’t raised enough.

Speculation is risky but fuck it: Mistral is the new “RenTech of AI”, DPO and Alibi and sliding window and modern mixtures are well-understood so the money is in the lag between some new edge and TheBloke having it quantized for a Mac Mini or 4070 Super, and the enterprise didn’t love the weird structure, remembers how much fun it was to be over a barrel to MSFT, and can afford to dabble until it’s affordable and operable on-premise.

Did anyone evaluate this compared to using api access through an external gui (i.e. continue.dev). For software dev did the cost end up higher? I am thinking this is can be more convenient (and I suppose engineers can more easily use it outside work as a perk). Given practical use across a team will vary you get a lower price when using api and perhaps additional opportunity for scripted use.

This is an excellent point, Xoogler and been struggling to explain concisely why I've been offended / think all this is fundamentally misleading. And that's it right there.

I fully agree. it's also how the user takes what they know and making it work for them.

Windows 95 had years of user testing behind it. They'd sit people down who were used to DOS or Windows 3.11 and give them tasks and see where they struggled or where it worked and iterated on it and the talks by the ux teams really stuck with me. every color and design choice was important even the awful but good real background wallpaper colors
I completely understand and respect the idea that you may not want to prolong your life.

However, what baffles me is that the problem you see with a pacemaker is the fact that it could malfunction and kill you. Is that the right understanding? And if so, why is that worse than your body malfunctioning and dieing on its own?
OK, but doesn’t invalidate the comparison is to another country where they tax gas more.
IMO the problem wasn't with how social media was implemented, it just coincided with a culture shift to being always online that the world wasn't really ready for.

These alternatives are fine (I'm a fan of mastodon myself) but I feel they don't really address the issues of the frayed social fabric we're currently experiencing in our societies.

In other words: these platforms aren't encouraging dialogue, they simply accepted that we can't get along so they started these small clubs so we can all have our carefully curated echo chambers.

So no, fixing social media isn't a low hanging fruit, not even close.
Have you ever seen an enterprise plan cheaper than the individual plans (Which are often free)?

Now normal software is priced to squeeze as much money as you can, enterprises can afford more, so are charged more. Individuals are highly price sensitive, so has to be very cheap.

GenAI is quite different in that its not 0 marginal cost, the marginal costs are probably at least 50% of the price. So the price difference between enterprise and individual plans will be far smaller than usual, due to the common cost base.
We definitely tax gas (in the US). I'd argue that we do not tax it heavily and rather provide large net subsidies for gas usage.

It's really very difficult to untangle, because there's a huge overlap between the known risk factors for schizophrenia and the known risk factors for early and heavy use of cannabis.

I believe there is very little reason to assume the numbers are not accurate. Not only have their numbers been fairly accurate in previous conflicts, but also many US officials believe them to be accurate if not underreported.

It feels more like an Israeli attempt at using fog of war and the masses ignorance on the matter to soften the reaction and spread doubt about the real numbers. As this talking point was continously used by Israeli spokespersons even after US officials believed these numbers to be fairly accurate. I would be happy to be corrected, I wish the numbers are actually less, and would want this to be the reality.

> If you look at the history of empires, from the Romans to the Han, it is littered with instances of societal decline as a direct result of inflation and overspending.

There is little evidence to support this. There is an abundance of evidence of empires responding to the crisis of a population overburdened by debt by cancellation, though, if we're going by history to dictate what our current state should do....
100 kcal is ~0.5 kg of fat per month, or 6 kg per year.

Read that again. Six kilograms, per year. Every year.

Given a person consuming near their total daily energy expenditure, that’s the difference between losing almost 20 kg since the start of COVID, and gaining 20 kg.

Small changes over time compound in unintuitive ways, which is all the more reason not to dismiss them so flippantly.
Just wait until the default template gets hacked up by some fluke in word and it's permanently stuck to weird formatting. you can revert it back but it's weirdly hidden and took me a Google to do it instead of just finding and clicking a "default word style format" theme thing.

At least in several European countries there was a tendency to label any criticism of Israel as a state as antisemitism. This is the kind of antisemitism they are fighting. They do not seem to care about actual antisemitism in far-right parties, but then they broadly agree with them on policies such as how to deal with Arabs.

A downloaded file loading remote resources automatically (without prompting) can be a big problem, which is why nearly every other piece of productivity software has prompted before doing so for many years.

E.g. if someone built an API that used LibreOffice code to convert Office files to PDFs and hosted it using AWS, would they think to check to see if someone can reference the metadata URL and read their EC2 instance credentials? Or reference file:// URIs and read from the server's filesystem?

> Mistral Medium destroys the 4.5 preview.

On what metrics? LMSys shows it does well but 4-Turbo is still leading the field by a wide margin.

I am using 8x-7b internally for a lot of things and Mistral-7b fine-tunes for other specific applications. They're both excellent. But neither can touch GPT-4-turbo (preview) for wide-ranging needs or the strongest reasoning requirements.

EDIT: Neither does mistral-medium, which I didn't discuss, but is in the leaderboard link.
This comment seems to imply we should never prepare for future risks because they haven't happened yet. Bizarre.
The craziest thing to me is that the employees at these companies are some of the most sought after people yet when push comes to shove they seem to have all just rolled over and not raised a fuss with layoffs. These companies are some of the most profitable companies of all time. It's not like I think everyone needs to run out and join a union but the seeming complete lack of torches and pitchforks internally is a huge shock to me.

My dad was in a different field and when the company he worked for did layoffs the company was in a serious financial state and in danger of just folding entirely and also the employees had a say in how layoffs were implemented. Until I started working in tech I had assumed that was the norm but now I realize that that amount of respect for the employees from leadership was the exception (at least at large companies).
Any chance you could post some comparisons between Mistral medium and gpt-4 turbo? I'm curious where you think it's more impressive, I hadn't spent the time to evaluate it yet.

You need all four in the context of databases and the architectures in which they live, where computation is separate from storage and concurrent updates are possible. In the context of Rama it's different, where computation is colocated with storage and you have tight control over the ordering of events.

It's probably easier to understand if you share a specific example you've dealt with in the past that needed a particular isolation level. Then I can explain how that would work with Rama.

> I'm not trying to argue one should take Israel's word at face value (of course you should subject it to scrutiny as well), but yes, Israel, a liberal democratic state with a free press, strong left-wing movement, and the second biggest tech sector out of silicon valley, is far more trustworthy than Hamas, a repressive, fundamentalist, authoritarian regime with no free press.

None of this has any bearing on whether or not Israel's word is actually worth anything (...or Hamas's word, for that matter).
It depends, owner-CEOs have true stock, not just options, so are balanced between upside and downside risk.

For-hire CEOs often are also paid in equity, not just stock options. But even with just call options (Which have no downside risk), there is the risk of the professional reputation of the CEO, if you just do middling for a few years and leave, still plenty of job opportunitiess. If you crash and burn the company down... Very tough to find another good exec position again.
No, weird that you’re comment is so high up, but shows how little crypto knowledge is around in HN.
A Bitcoin is a Bitcoin, but it consists of smaller units called Satoshis. Like Dollar and Cents. Since the beginning of Bitcoin.
A fork is a copy of the underlying source code of Bitcoin, which in itself has no value at all. You would also need to find people who run nodes for your fork and start convincing exchanges that your fork should be supported too…so no, this is not splitting Bitcoin
I also see it as a position I wouldn't want in a million years, but whenever I talk to salespeople I can absolutely see why they do it. There seems to be a mindset, or a particular kind of motivation, that fits with the act of selling and with the idea of commission based earnings.

I'm also not sure that many salespeople see their role as "sell whatever the company makes". There's a common trope of engineers scrambling to build what the sales team have sold, but even aside from that, I think many salespeople see their job as building and growing accounts in their clients, and finding the products or features available to grow into. Perhaps just a perspective difference, but that can be all that matters.
I'll answer your question, but first I'll ask you a question: Do you know how the Gaza Health Ministry generates their death toll? What do you think of their methods? My guess is you don't know but you trust it because you see these numbers repeated in the media (just like China's COVID death toll).

If you ask me how Israel calculates its death toll the answer is pretty simple: they use archaeologists, forensic medical teams, and more

One of the most obvious examples of a prior discrepancy was the Health Ministry claiming that ~500 innocent civilians died when Israel bombed al Ahli hospital. Of course, we later discovered the hospital wasn't bombed, the parking lot was, the bomb wasn't dropped by Israel but was rather an errant rocket from Hamas, and that far fewer people died. In other words, a series of lies. The Health Ministry never corrected the death toll and kept adding from that.

Beyond this, here's one of many analyses casting shade on the Health Ministry's statistics: https://twitter.com/Aizenberg55/status/1744381711993946209

You can google around for dozens more. As I said to the prior commenter, I'd rather not have a debate here about whether the numbers are accurate (not because I'm not confident but rather because of the famous XKCD) and I simply mean to point out that Paul Graham has one standard for China's COVID death toll and a completely different standard for Hamas's Health ministry figures.

> Are you blaming bitcoin for gambling addiction and bad investing now?

No. I’m explicitly not blaming bitcoin. I’m blaming the humans that take advantage of others using the technical complexity of the crypto ecosystem to convince people that it is something that it isn’t.

The fact that you can wreck your life in Vegas or day-trading on Robinhood using dollars isn’t something I like either.

The whole point of the sentence you quoted is that bitcoin isn’t some magical wealth creator as it is frequently sold as. It’s to point out that it is a zero sum game; for every dollar someone has gotten out of the system, someone else has put a dollar in.
