It can be opposite of your interpretation too. If you make 100,000 cars in a year, each step is done at least 100,000 times and it's justified to have a single wrench, with single non-adjustable torque value, and automated datalogging of applied value for a particular step. Or even a robotic process. Maybe even computer vision to check fastener length.

If you make 10 or 500 planes in a year, you have to rely on multiple people to use multiple torque wrenches, with multiple attachments, to follow multiple procedures to assemble multiple planes using fasteners of multiple lengths, nearby multiple other processes and people. There is a big emphasis on procedures and traceability but there are still so many potential failure points that can go undiscovered for a long time.
Here's the retort: "If this program is so successful, why do I still see all these degenerates?"

You can house 50% of the homeless and the average voter won't give one iota of damn unless they see a decrease in the homeless in their surroudings.

The most visible homeless are those who will be kicked out of these kinds of programs--often for substance abuse (as was, in fact, pointed out in the article).

Even if they are "successful", these programs will keep getting defunded unless you somehow decrease the quantity of the most visible homeless.
Makes you wonder if these mega corporations wouldn't be better off lobbying to resolve the housing crisis instead of paying more in salaries.
Gamers and LLM/AI/ML GPU users do not find that absurdly priced. Absurdly priced in our world is $15,000 so your perceptions are off by about a order of magnitude.
Dive is a gem. It's helped me find a lot of cruft ...

- unneeded build dependencies. Used a scratch image and/or removed build deps in the same step
- node_modules for dev-deps . Used prod
- Embeded Chromium builds (with puppetteer). Removed chromium and remoted an external build

Docker desktop now has this feature built in, but I've been using dive for years to find wasted space & potential security issues.
This is a great recommendation. It is worth noting that unlike Docker, crane is root- and daemonless which makes it work great in Nix (it's called 'crane' in the Nix repository). This allows for Nix to be used to manage dependencies for both building (e.g. Go) as well as packaging and deploying (e.g. gnu tar, crane).
Resource constraints would be a concern, yeah, so if you were developing a game featuring LLMs (which would, at this point in their development and maturity, be a gimmick) you would keep that in mind and keep other demands on resources low.
This system is built by investors for investors as terms of how to issue these securities. There’s dozens of ways to give stock ownership without requiring purchase or gifting, including 83b elections and structuring the company in a way that distributes ownership.

The conflict is intentional in order for early investors to maintain control.
Hardware companies aren't known for their UX chops.
I have a similar goal (1 laptop) but with a concession to have one monitor, probably with a built in USB C hub, as a docking station just for ergonomics sake.

Eventually it might be possible to only have a mobile phone that docks to a monitor and runs a full desktop os, like Samsung DEX.
These are just jokes with reviewers having some fun after doing 20 other reviews. The review process isn't really needed for a paper this bad, but they have to go through the motions, and so people have fun with it.

It’s not a big deal. Shitty papers exist.
I'm curious when we'll start to see open access multimodal models being released.

The advancement in text only models has been amazing, but a lot of the 'emergent' behavior in GPT-4 may be because of multimodal training and not just MoE or parameter sizes.

I'll be curious to see if multimodal smaller models see similar leaps.
You might enjoy this. I have a pin that blinks "AOA Disagree".

The article talks about how a search engine can invisibly alter search to affect the outcome of an election.

It’s interesting you mentioned watching the news, but delayed…the article was written before the 2016 election and says Google favored Hillary Clinton.

Not taking away the point, because it’s valid…but you should find a newer article without such obvious error…just saying…
That’s the basic idea, the problem is how do you reload it? You would need a mechanism that changes the DNA for every one of the trillions of cells in the body.
Had the exact same thought seeing this. Too many of these websites are missing a simple tldr of the thing actually is. Great, it's fast, but fast at what??
Nah. It's about half that. You can pick up a used 4090 for that much.
To be fair, I got a card second hand to play with, and it was only £700 ($900~) and it came with manufacturer warranty. It was a bit of a gamble, but the 24GB VRAM has been a godsend for experimenting with LLMs. And playing video games at 4K!
I’m honestly unable to name a single innovation from a FAANG that wasn’t just buying another company or cloning a competitor in the last five years.

What has Meta or Google or Microsoft actually innovated on recently?
Nice, whatever you do, just don't stop.
This should have been a user replaceable battery.
All your points are valid, except that I'm not trying to compete with other online sudoku games. I enjoy playing sudoku and wanted to make one for fun.

Based on everyone's feedback it seems that keyboard navigation, overwriting incorrect answers and better puzzle generation are the top missing requirements, which I'll add next.

Thanks for your feedback!
Do you know what alternative medicine is called when it is proven to work? Medicine.
I feel like this took a few weeks to figure out.
The Dyalog IDE lets you hover over each symbol and get an English name, description, and example of it being used monadically and dyadically iirc. The former is like using the symbol as a prefix to an array input and the latter in between two arrays. It doesn't take too long before a lot of symbols just click. It's easier to learn than you think.
Very likely core-competence in technical work, which is priceless in my opinion.
No memory leaks (unless you use shared memory).
No weird connection pooling and caching issues or delays in picking up a config change. Every request is a fresh start, enforced by the OS.
Buggy code (like image processing can only crash the current request).
I feel like your argument shows the opposite: there are significant economies of scale to making munitions. If we have to make a lot of interceptors, in the long run-- it's going to be much cheaper than it is currently.
In race for AI supremacy, China, US are travelling on different tracks
Agreed. But they do call it out here and I'm interested in understanding why.
They quit.
Thank you!

Yes, I made the game because I enjoy playing Sudoku and wanted to implement one myself, just for fun!
> A topic often discussed in Star Trek is how human society transcended its societal problems to finally have the leisure to innovate and conquer space. It's 2024, and no major societal changes seem to be on the horizon.

People who quote Star Trek's utopian view of technology should refer to the Star Trek universe timeline. The 21st century was very, very bad for Earthlings in that chronology. Some highlights include: eugenic wars, nuclear apocalypse, massive earthquakes.

Out of curiosity, what do people think of the comments to the reviewers by the authors?

I was pretty surprised to see them challenge the reviewers. Maybe open review is different, but I was trained to try find ways to defer to the reviewers or, basically, placate them if possible. It look like the authors have tried to argue back, for example finding a contradiction between the reviews… it seems like a risky strategy to me. Then again I haven’t ever received feedback this negative, thank goodness.
Ya but your sample size is way too small to measure the death rate. Aircraft deaths are rare, but flying is too.

The two MAX 8s that fell from the sky were 100% Boeing's fault and could have happened in the US. If 5% of airline traffic is in the US you can renormalize those hundreds of dead and you get dozens dead.
I'm very surprised there aren't more KDE appreciation posts on here. It's such a beautifully round piece of software -- customizable, yet reliable and unassuming.

It's exactly what the desktop experience, and software in general, should be: there for you when you need it, without making the entire experience about itself.

I don't have to actively think about my desktop environment when I'm browsing Hacker News on Firefox, or writing code, or listening to music -- it looks back empathetically when a program goes wrong, or when my workflow changes and it needs tweaking, and everything else.

You've made something brilliant, and it's definitely positively contributed to Linux's increase in market share.
Regarding arithmetic games, I much prefer https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/js/keen...

At least half of that preference is the ability to use keyboard controls. The math is also more tailorable to user ability (use the "type" menu), though within each game it goes from hard to easy.
I just engaged the close button.
You beat me to saying the same thing lol. Their IDE is pretty helpful.
They sell equity and compensation benchmark data to other startups. That’s one example
Well... here's a thought experiment.

Let's say you have a bunch of school children and architects create a skyscraper. I've given both groups the process to design a skyscraper.

So in both cases, I should end up with a safe building?

1. No but you do need to run the controller somewhere. It doesn't need to be run 24/7. I used to run it from a windows machine occasionally but its more convenient to have it running all the time on raspberrypi or something.
2. There is no subscription that I'm aware of
3. Good question its a question many have been asking of the U-6Pro and U-6E. Their switching hardware also has limited support for 10GbE RJ-45.
Used to have a radio transmitter that plugged into my car lighter, and hook up to an mp3 player (or whatever) and transmit that on a radio frequency that the car could pick up. Often it would be staticky unless I set the device on my leg, and then it got a lot clearer.

Always assumed it just kind of turned my body into an extra large antenna. Probably works for a key fob in a similar way.
People are already horrified with the Israeli state actions in Gaza, linking this to rising prices would not contribute to the political goals of the current administration on this conflict.
Ironically, I was planning to move from Google Authenticator to Authy precisely because Authy had a desktop app. Oh well, that's one less thing for me to do, and one less user for Authy!
Most of it. Statistically. Its not hard to assign part of the deaths from the MAXes to the US.
Yeah the whole everything app/banking app concept is pushing is bizarre to me.

Why wouldn’t everyone use Apple Pay? And as successful as Elon has been in his other companies, is it wise to go up head on against Apple, literally one of the most valuable companies in the world? Making Twitter into a payment app sounds like one of the worst ideas I could possibly think of.
Ahh I see now, you've founded https://github.com/skeema/skeema which is great!

There's been attempts to use different embeddings for numbers, which helps a lot. E.g., https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37936005
OpenBSD out of the box is not minimal. As a base install it is more feature full than most linux base installs. It is small yes, but with a lot of high quality network focused services. I could easily run a company backend and network on only what is found in the base install. If I had a good solid group of people I could probably run the frontend on it. (the main thing it lacks is a web browser).

mail, web, routing, tunnels, bgp, dns, hell there is even an ldap server in there for some reason. but no ldap client, which kind of sucks.

3090 isn't even in the top 30.
I have genuinely never seen an in-house training program in the software industry. Maybe some bullshit industry certs that amount to a single exam. But nothing like an apprenticeship style program where over a year you are taught and mentored.

Even university doesn't teach you how to work in the industry. It's a very DIY career, we should probably change that.
That was my first thought too, but the OPs tests had the range only improving when held to the head.
"Skill mismatch" could also mean experience mismatch. I would imagine a mismatch is more often about a company wanting someone with 10 years experience in a particular domaine than about a Java developer needing to learn python.

You can't take an online course or build a couple side projects and be qualified to run a 1M+ qps distributed system.

Apple's thing is basically a satellite phone. It's a completely different modem and protocol from what's used to contact cell phone towers. They just added satellite phone functionality to a normal phone.
Hmm I’ve started doing some elixir as a side project and coming from typescript honestly I’ve found it a bit “dumb” and slow at the beginning. It didn’t allow you to write precise enough types, and would complain a lot about weird things.

As the project became more complex though, and I learned more about elixir, dialyzer became progressively more useful.

Most of the time when I chase a weird type error in TypeScript it turned out that the types were not correct enough and had to be fixed.

When I’m chasing weird dialyzer complaints, most of the time I discover that it was actually a bug in my code. Honestly sometimes I’m astonished how it can reason about very complex things so well. It’s just the error messages are usually very confusing, but with experience that kinda solves itself.

The difference to me so far has been that dialyzer finds bugs in my code, rather than in my types, which is quite nice.

If they make the built-in type system of elixir faster and with better error messages, I’ll be a very happy camper.
So it's not the worker who ducked up, but there are loose bolts either way because the Walsh gang took over.
2nd order realization is that the race to AGI is having computers do what humans do.

Algorithms and compute is evolving at a much faster rate than humans.

Our social fabric is still connected around capitalism. In US, Trump even reduced taxes, and pandemic + inflation jacked up living costs.

So the current trend is that AI will cause a lot of people losing their livelihoods, and a few super crazy rich people.

The first trillionares will be those who yield AI.

The forces of Moloch dictate that AI will be a divider instead of a uniter.
Flawed is an opinion. The rest are facts, but they are irrelevant to the article.

I even happen to share that opinion. But when you can’t help yourself from interjecting it where it’s irrelevant, that’s a signal you can’t be trusted to do your job. Shut up and dribble.
What if the bullion is just plated/covered in gold?
any 737 in europe uses such a module as it is required.
APL was one of the first interactive environments along with Lisp. They've had this back when you had a typewriter with a rotating ball with the symbols connected to the time share computer. So you'd type an expression on the typewriter, computer would run it, and it would be printed on actual paper lol.

With APL you can also do the stuff you're referring to by creating a function and mapping it to a list of numbers. If you're familiar with REPLs, the experience is similar.
iPhone with Globalstar is absolutely a satellite phone. They've added a satellite phone to the regular cell phone. That's different than what Starlink is doing which is broadcasting a regular cell phone signal.
I wouldn't be surprised if they've completely depleted their inventory of S-300 missiles (5V55KD). The Texeira leaks seemed to indicate they would run out by Summer/Fall of 2023, though with the supply of IRIS/Patriot/NASAMs etc, they might have reserved some of them.
Yeah, I wasn't really trying to compare S-300 to the older systems. Just that they were some of the systems Ukraine had or have brought back into service after the invasion.

S-300 (and S-400 which is really enhanced S-300) in their most modern configurations are incredibly lethal systems against 4th Gen aircraft that aren't accompanied by extensive SEAD/DEAD resources and jamming. But Ukraine has 1st generation S-300P, from the 80s. These might have been upgraded to S-300PT-1, giving them cold launch with the newer 5V55KD missiles.
I'm the author. This is definitely a serious project of mine. I presented about it at the Dyalog '23 User Meeting last October:

https://tv.dyalog.com/Dyalog23/?v=bb6sIAJjMeM

In a sibling comment, mlochbaum impressively just reads my code without too much effort. However, it is first and foremost written for a domain expert, with all affordances for outsiders discarded in favor of parsimony and direct expression of thought. Even if you know all the APL symbols, you'd need some domain knowledge about parsing and YAML specifically to really understand the why.

Learning to read the APL symbols is super easy. Just give yourself a couple weeks of 30 minutes a day or so. That's definitely enough to get you started solving challenge problems.

However, "fluently reading APL" is like talking about fluently reading math. The focus is on the concepts and communicating those concepts. Fluency is tied to familiarity with the underlying ideas of the problem domain.
It's your conductive nervous system (including your brain) that is acting as a directional antenna.

I paid Apple ~$80 to replace my Series 5 battery… they actually just exchange it with another device. I thought it was worth it and happy to keep using it until I can no longer get the latest watchOS.
It doesn't matter if the worker is sloppy and should have been fired, or if Boeings training is poor and should be improved.

> Given the “final warning” issued 4 days ago by the coalition, I think escalation or resolution (probably the former) is very much a “sooner rather than later" thing.

Perhaps.

We have a tightrope to walk: trying not to spark a regional war but also ensuring that warnings and redlines are taken seriously.

At the same time, if your adversary knows what the response will be, they have the option of deciding the action is still worth it (or even the response would be desirable). This can even be perverse (e.g. two level games; leaders deciding to take a punch that is a net loss for their nation to rally support around themselves).

So blurry redlines --- and the full range of responses ("in a time and manner of our choosing"), including covert and deniable ones --- are employed. Ambiguity is usually advantageous to maintain, and players employ mixed strategies.

Also post world war 2, the Japanese govts did pull it off by taking control of industry and getting everyone to row in a particular direction.
This is the real world. Not a Braddock movie from the 80's.

The US had a really hard time on Afghanistan, what make you think that Iran would be suck a walk in the park.

And also, have you ever considered the logistic nightmare of a war against China right on their backyard?

Unless you're rooting for a global thermonuclear war, there's no way the US couldn't prevent a Chinese invasion of Taiwan without losing a few Aircraft Carriers. The US doesn't have this capability, don't have the industrial base, the money and the raw resources for that.

I've heard that Google actually got the jump on OpenAI in this regard (just from people in a FAANG), and they're playing a bit of catch-up. OpenAI still has a distinct advantage on the language side, though. This is all hearsay, of course.
The core issue of the secondaries market is that companies have a conflict of interest not to participate and the control that they want in order to participate essentially violates securities law. Founders want control over the price, who buys the shares, who can sell, etc. Carta and other companies so far haven't been able to solve this problem on mass scale of motivating founders to allow all shareholders to sell on an open market. There was weak demand from the company side so it seems like Carta tried to force it by making the market first and then asking for forgiveness because asking for permission wasn't working.
This is also the second shady article I've seen from carta this year.

Does anyone know what Figure 8 at the end shows?

It looks like each expert is used interchangeably with no clear pattern. And earlier they say "Surprisingly, we do not observe obvious patterns in the assignment of experts based on the topic."

So then, what is the point of the "expert"?

Could this extra performance just be through the 8 expert architectural design, and not be based on the underlying training material? For example, if all 8 experts were ArXiv papers, would the performance be different?
I hate this doc style that has become so popular lately. They get so wrapped up in selling you their story that they forget to tell you basic shit. Like what it is. Or how to install it.

The PMs literally simplified things so much they simplified the product right ought of the docs.
