I don't think those are sealed upon completion in a gracefully reversible manner. My guess is dynamite blasting and dumping stone to collapse/fill it in until the water stops flowing.

This short video[0] describes the process used for the Hoover Dam... sSounds like the blasted diversion tunnels were above the river level, then ad-hoc "cofferdams" were filled in both upstream and downstream of the construction site. So even if you reopened the diversion tunnels, it still wouldn't be down to the original level.

It certainly doesn't seem like it'd be a controlled release of the water if you could manage to unseal them. There's no gate...

I understand the idealism, but the realistic alternative is that the US government abstains while other governments use the technology freely. Not sure how that's a better scenario, in a practical sense.

It's probably why OpenAI decided to remove the restriction.

I don't think it's a slippery slope.

I'll put it another way: I'm anti-Trump. By extension, I think people who vote for Trump exert a negative influence on society by casting their votes in his favor. It also happens that these voters are predominantly rural. I also don't think rural voters should be disenfranchised, and if Trump wins the election, so be it.

Part of the idea of democracy is that you do want your preferred party to win, but that doesn't automatically mean you're against all the other teams having the right to vote. It certainly can be the case that a demographic or rules change makes it harder for your team to win. That doesn't mean you are against that change, whether it's universal suffrage, proportional representation, etc.

Support for fair and legitimate elections are usually a stronger foundational principle than one's support for their own favorite party. Especially because their party's victory would be empty if it wasn't won legitimately.

As for whether libertarianism and democracy are at odds, I really don't know myself. I think it's fine for Thiel to have his own opinion on that.

Donald Trump specifically hates windmills because they were being installed off-shore near one of the golf resorts that he owns, and he felt that it was "ruining the view".

So basically it's a billionaire complaining that we should stop saving the entire planet because his millionaire friends might not get a pristine view of the ocean at their exclusive club.

The bird thing is just a talking point he latched onto.
Re: 1

The “war on drugs” ends, the counterculture of the 60s will loom large over discussion of psychedelics.

Society’s attitude towards drugs forces people who in some way identify with something linked to the Psychedelic experience to define themselves against society to some extent. Rather than build on society’s current paradigm and fetishes they must tear them down to an extent. Much like Freud and psychology’s discourse only changing after much science, society’s discourse surrounding psychedelics will be free of Leary once the mysteries are revealed.

Are you saying that your neighbours literally tried to have you killed, you have strong evidence of this, and the police did nothing?

Because… that’s just not really true, is it. It’s hyperbole, like most of your comment.

Not to say that you are not going through bad things, but blowing a potentially minor thing up into someone literally trying to have you killed isn’t going to get people to take you seriously.
I didn't mean to do this, but a smarter person than I once said if you want the answer to a question on the internet you ought to post the wrong answer, and I feel like I inadvertently did this.

I find if I listen closely to my inner voice, it starts going in a circle for exactly this reason. This makes me think maybe the actual order is backwards and the voice comes second, but it feels first because brains are weird.
That’s it. FUPS is a frequency measurement of the rate at which an AI produces “fuckups” per second, where a “fuckup” is defined as an individual non-unique production error that has a measurable negative impact on society.

I am most intrigued by the annotation demo you showed, since annotation is painful to set up for small projects.

Can you talk about it in more detail?

Can I tell who the user is so I can have multiple annotators?

Can I use gold data to determine which annotators aren't paying attention?

Where do I learn more about how to build this kind of tool?

Overall, kudos, I signed up for the waitlist.
damn..imagine had the ETF been rejected how much lower it would be. There is a good reason Vanguard opted out of Bitcoin mania.
Congrats Myles! Super excited that you all have finally open sourced! I'm gonna start moving my Jupyter notebooks over to this asap. I love that it's all just .py files.

Have you had anyone use Marimo to write production web app code? I've been doing a lot of AI experiments for the new venture, and it's been a pain to have to switch back and forth between .ipynb files and regular py files
A better question is why OP isn't using a library that will do it for them!

Python's argparse is pretty good in this respect. Even if you don't supply help text and good metavar names, it'll at least give you --help output showing which options are supported, and adding help text and helpful metavar names is not much additional effort.

argparse has inspired a number of knockoffs in other languages, and the ones I've used are pretty good at --help output too. (Or you can write your own! If you've done this not only long enough to not only forget the syntax of command line tools you've written, but also often enough to have recognised this as a repeated trend, the effort involved could be worth it.)

> received wisdom from places like KVR Audio

bwahahaha.

I'm a DAW author. Have been for 24 years or so. My friends write plugins and DSP modules for mixing consoles.

Received wisdom from KVR Audio (and in fact, most online forums) is worth less than the distance than a flea could throw it.

Digital audio software users that know almost nothing about the subject seem highly inclined to spend their time blathering on in these forums, while the people who actually do know about it appear to have better things to do.
I love Kagi, used my free searches and customized the crap out of it. It would absolutely be worth the cost if I wasn't penny pinching because of cost of living increases and inflation.

Oh well, back to bing with GPT4 chat/search.
Is Mastodon more popular in Germany/Europe? Since hetzner has expanded to the US and seems to offer competitive pricing there too it would be interesting to know how many instances are hosted there vs Germany and Finland.
It makes sense in that situation. I'm thinking about Goog, Amzn, or Twitter laying people off basically to cut costs with no clear reason.
I suppose you're right-- the feeling was irreplaceable, but I guess the service itself not so much.
it's not a bug it's a feature

the current system works pretty well. the us doesn't deport most illegals. their children will all be citizens, allowing for a de facto backdoor immigration system (if you're never deported, it doesn't matter as much you don't have citizenship)

borders are important so cities aren't completely overrun with immigrants - like texas has been dealing with for years, and just now the libs are starting to realize doesn't work in cities like NY and Chicago (wrt budgeted services, housing etc, spare me the nyc was built by immigrants spiel)
Prosecutors are relatively new. It used to be the right of citizens to petition a grand jury to indict. A few states still allow it.
> all other things being equal

That is the case in countries with both access to cheap food and free education: i've heard that Berkeley used to cost 100$/year in the 70s.

Also medical care costs are balooning everywhere (even where it's socialized). I'm not talking about huge cost you can read about US healthcare: when you're young, you will probably be lucky enough to avoid needing critical healthcare, but the price to do regular checkup and preventive care is higher than it was, everywhere in the world. That will have a cost on everybody in the near future imho.

My understanding is that feral cats kill far more than domesticated cats (as you'd expect), but this gets folded in under "cats kill $number of birds".

They're still impressive little killers, but that's important to keep in mind.
> to create a rule that all (...) require unanimous consent?

What you describe is pretty much what has happened and still is happening in Hungary.

The conclusion here is that even if the majority agrees that these rules are against the spirit of the democracy, there's nothing practical to do against them. So yeah, checks and balances are important to have in practice, not just in spirit.

When you're relying on self-imposed limitations, radicals will sooner or later take over and do whatever necessary to stay in power.
Speaking of font differences, the default Windows emoji font is so bad I don't understand why Google doesn't just ship their Android emoji font with Chrome and default to that.

The obvious solution here is that people who don't like precision can pay people who do to wrangle CLIs on their behalf.
The statement isn't about what we want to get out of a system or government, but about how to approach shaping the system to create the desired outcome. You can fill in "good" and "bad" with your own subjective values and it continues to hold true. How you make the collective decision to agree on what's desired and what's not is a whole other can of worms.

I'm obviously in the minority, because they keep designing cars this way so people are clearly buying them, but that sort of design strongly negatively affects my inclination to own the car.

I'm not a big "your car should reflect you" sort of person, but I'm not immune to the effect. I know that seeing cars on the road with that aesthetic causes me discomfort and encourages me to make unflattering assumptions about the people driving them, and I don't want to have that effect on others.
> Allegedly, he once removed an IPv4 address by mistake from one student's computer. He only heard about it half a year later, when the student casually mentioned that only Google, Facebook and other big sites seem to work. Apparently, if Google, Facebook, and the School's website works, it's acceptable to most (which is sad for different reasons, but that's not my point).

The fact that the "sad part" is that the student only uses big tech websites and not that this netop was able to do something like this with no alerting or guardrails says a lot about HN's culture these days.

In general I wonder what kind of alerting these dorm ISPs run. Do they ever do reachability tests for devices on their network?
Really, a downvote for this comment? HN really is full of the worst chronically online people imaginable.
Would the Theranos debacle have progressed as far as it did if the FDA inspected at the beginning?
That's not what happened. A huge percentage of all global shipping got diverted, and US ships were attacked. This is literally --- literally, using the literal meaning of the word "literal" --- the oldest cassus belli in the American playbook (and the Barbary War was declared unilaterally by the executive); further, it is essentially the entire basis for international law, back to Mare Liberum (this is a point I shoplifted from someone else). This is about the most normal thing that could have happened in these circumstances.

If it matters to you, Congress has already unequivocally signaled unanimous support. That's how this works under 50 USC 33: the executive can launch attacks unilaterally with 48 hours notices (here it was negative hours notice), thus giving Congress the opportunity to pass a joint resolution ending the strikes. The opposite thing happened.
The government probably already had a secret law that allowed them to use it anyways...
> not from your point of view, but from the car.

>Torpe says these elements make the train highly representative of the country. He estimates the studio spent more than 15,000 hours on the design. “We went all the way into these details to create the Danish train,”

I duuno mate, maybe my monitor calibration is way off but to me, the renderings make it look pretty dull and depressing inside considering all the effort he gloats about and what Danish weather is usually like. Like some cheap IKEA furniture using Quake's color pallete. Austrian and Swiss trains look much nicer and cheerfull than that on the inside.

If you want to create a car that appeals to men, it's important that the designer has a very manly name like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harm_Lagaay. It's practically a hate crime just to say it.

And it's also important that the exterior styling is as macho as can be. That requires it to be sculpted entirely out of voluptuous curves. Like a codpiece.

You can see a bright red example here (Mr. Lagaay's masterpiece was the Carrera GT): https://news.dupontregistry.com/porsche/rubystone-red-porsch...
There are lots of safety regulations around cars. Not only manufacturers, but drivers themselves are regulated. People who sell cars are regular. Streets are regulated. Signage is regulated. Every aspect is heavily regulated, and this regulation is enforced by police tens of thousands of times a day. I'm not even sure what you could mean when you say nobody is lifting a finger. Do you imagine there's some scenario in which nobody ever dies in a car, and this is what would be required to declare that a finger had been lifted?

The AGI will have to run the robots, problem solving when things go wrong is what allows humans to run large organized endeavors without getting stuck, you need AGI to do that for generalized work. Before AGI robots will only be able to handle tasks with very simple error scenarios, and will still need humans to look after them for the rare cases where things go more wrong.
Vector databases are oriented around search and retrieval. The usual approach of generating vectors is to fine tune a large pretrained model and extract the inner representations. Because the dataset contains successful queries and retrieval results, all you need to do is optimize a loss function (usually contrastively or approximated versions of common ranking functions) using raw inputs on the similarity objective supported by the vector database. For common modalities like tabular/text/image/audio data, there is basically no human judgement involved in feature selection - just apply attention.

Note: current state of the art text to vector models like E5-Mistral (note: very different from original E5) don’t even require human curation in the dataset

I'm a DevOps Engineer with 4+ years of experience, specializing in Kubernetes & GitOps for High-Performance Solutions.

I bring more than just technical expertise. I'm adept at tailoring solutions to unique business needs, ensuring not just system reliability but also contributing to your bottom line through optimized workflows and cost-effective strategies.

I do mostly consulting, but I'll consider also part time roles (around 30h a week) or full time projects that are lasting between 6-12 months.
