If the answer was yes, the title wouldn't be phrased as a question
Hello there, I am one of the authors of the piece. Fun fact just for the lols we have tried running a 1.3B parameter unoptimized TensorFlow.js model in this system just to see if it would work (could be much more memory efficient with tweaks), and it does. It uses about 6GB RAM and 14GB VRAM when using V100 GPU on Colab (15GB VRAM limit) but runs pretty fast otherwise once the initial load is complete! Obviously plenty of room to make this use much less memory in the future - we just wanted to check we could run such things as a test for now.

Thanks for the feedback and glad it is useful! Yes, agree might better representative of future use.
I think a view of variance would be a good idea, currently just shown in over-time views - maybe a histogram of response times or a box and whisker.

It only differs in a bit of emphasis. You're emphasizing that the local response is reasonable; I'm emphasizing that the national response is a catastrophic failure. (You said that "the problem is national"; I just thought that point was worth emphasizing more strongly than you did.)
I'm a homebrewer, and I quite enjoy using the Guinness yeast strain - Wyeast 1084 or White Labs WLP004. It gives a very distinctive fruity flavor that I can often taste in craft-brewed stouts and other ales. It also ferments SUPER fast, which can be very convenient at times.

Does this imply that around 110 CVEs listed in the CISA KEV list are not (probably) really exploitable or doesnt have enough public information to enable a potential hacker to exploit them?
That question - "Under what circumstances would AI art be acceptable then?" - is definitely not asked enough. And I think taking time to make it acceptable is a worthwhile goal, part of the path, not an obstacle.
This is very cool. I’d be interested to see how it does against the market
Because any company, hypocrisy be damned, will use every legal lever at their disposal to protect their business model.
I don't need to see into their heads. They have mouths and I have ears. I can literally hear people talk and not take accountability for their situations.

Perhaps internally they are taking accountability but all the evidence I have says that many do not.
Yes. As do fruit flies [1].

Title should be "Six years of thinking allow programmer to solve problem in 5 minutes".

I remember contracting for IBM in the 90s and we had a huge performance boost due to caching and, like the anecdote in this post, there was a slight chance of something going out of date. The IBM guys said "no thanks, IBM prefers bullet proof over fast".
You are not an AI model, and AI models are not human authors, so your comparison is invalid and question irrelevant.
I thought that was obvious, but sure. National problems can't be solved at the local level, so only national solutions should be seriously considered as having a chance. In the meantime, localities need to do what they need to do to survive.
I have no idea how to pirate any more. Torrents were my tool of choice, but I don't think they're that popular any more. I miss Demonoid :(
In the US, that blurb is covered by fair use. Google doesn't regurgitate the entire published work.

These many AI lawsuits will likely settle whether training LLMs falls under fair use.
> Since you already have a volume for the database, you can backup to that same volume (if offloading to S3/etc is too much work).

I think I just accidentally didn't see this part of your reply or something last night. But backing up a database to the same place the primary one is stored is decidedly _not_ a real backup solution. Nobody should believe that offers them any of the same forms of protection that a real backup would give them. At the absolute best, you're protected from your database getting malformed by your application server. But if you lose that volume for any reason, your backups are just gone. Imagine explaining to your boss in such a scenario that the solution that was come up with was that the backups are kept on the same linux partition as the primary running database. They would fire me. I would fire me.
I've recently been designing a custom implementation of a DCC controller for a new model railroad I'm setting up - what don't you like about the protocol?

I find the protocol fascinating in that the data signal is combined with the power, so you just run everything over the two tracks.

Further, a transmitter is just a simple H-bridge that costs pennies...

It does match exactly what I claimed and it also states that even though the behavior was patched in GPT the ars people were able to easily reproduce it in copilot.

Its funny that the behavior was patched if OpenAI believes it isn't copyright infringement.
No, because crawling the web, ingesting copyrighted content, and ranking them is not a derivative work of that content.
> What if we consider the entire hive/swarm as a unified organism?

We get a less-predictive model for some questions and a more-predictive one for others. Sort of like how asking whether we should model humans as collections of cells, individuals or societies is freshman dorm stuff until we pair it with an actual question.
I see it pretty differently.

I mean, the XOR thing is a bad idea, because obviously at least one of those files is violating copyright. Trying to feign innocence is not engineer logic, it's failed logic.

But Aereo I'm still mad about. They saw that distribution is what cable companies have to pay lots of money for, so they removed distribution. It should have been fine.

The effect of the decision is that it's legal for a person to set up a remote antenna for personal use, but it's a copyright infringement to pay a company to set it up for you. Or, perhaps, that it's possible to pay a company to do so but only if it's your idea as a one-off. Either way, that doesn't make any sense as a copyright issue.

And after the supreme court decision, they tried to pivot to legally being a cable service... only to get denied recognition as one!

Seems to gloss over the physical space required to have a model train. A video game can come in many sizes from phones to consoles and is much more accessible and even portable.

Growing up, we had a 4'x8' sheet of plywood covered in the fake grass and then decked out with structures, trees, people, cars, and all sorts of stuff. It was a lot of fun setting it up, building the models, and deciding on a track layout. Took weeks building it. It took days to get bored with it. For some reason, we thought it a good idea to tack down the tracks for better stability, but it made it a nightmare to rearrange the tracks. However, it stayed like that for years and from time to time as I got older would fire it up and quickly bore of it again.

We considered it, but Fast was missing some key components when we started building our web app.
this sort of parasitical behavior might be by design (dark patterns) but often it might not be extractive as much as "manually refunding stuff works well enough for now"
where do people get location-specific, accurate salary numbers? especially for places not in SF/NYC?
Those are rice beers. You might have an issue with the grains used rather than yeast as there's no active yeast in the vast majority of beer.
You're describing a well-established practice called "dark patterns" and you are absolutely correct that they can be badly designed on purpose.
Does that mean NaN is undefined behavior for clamp?
> There’s no such thing as a “four-digit number”, only a four-digit base-10 numeral

Being further pedantic - aren't all digits base ten? I thought that was part of the definition of digit.

Other bases would have different words for their numbers - bit in binary, for example (which, yeah, I know, it a combination of the words "binary" and "digit").
> The Twitter files and subsequent reporting show that the USA used a similar system to mold public opinion around COVID response, then around the 202 election.

They used automated social media accounts? I didn't know that.
Most of the big AI models aren't open source and even if they were? You can absolutely regulate them.
Everyone will say "depends on the system" but generally the D term is not only not needed, but typically considered counter-productive or even against best practices. PI-loops tend to be much more stable than PID-loops and far easier to successfully tune for an acceptable response. You do get overshoot with a decently tuned PI-loop, but it's not enough to cause problems. A bit of overshoot doesn't tend to hurt anything.

Of course, a "perfectly" tuned PID loop will be "better" - more efficient, faster to reach setpoint, and minimize overshoot. But the effort/engineering time/operation time involved in tuning it, combined with the risks presented by a subtly poorly tuned loop that goes haywire one day when the system paradigm (characteristic) changes...just isn't worth it.

Obviously there are times when you really do need a D term, but I can confidently say that they're not commonly used in HVAC or petrochemical plants. I'm sure there are other domains where the D term is needed, but in my time as a controls engineer I didn't run across them.
VPS Showdown – January 2024 – DigitalOcean vs. Linode vs. Vultr
I suppose non-STEM is a different case - the people I knew were Chemistry and Mechanical engineering backgrounds.

I’d probably tell someone to grab some CS classes at a community college and apply anyway.
Is 2024 the year of DevOps for Hardware Engineering?
DevOps is nearly universally implemented in the software development world, but how does it apply to Hardware Engineering? There are a few key aspects of implementing DevOps in Hardware Engineering that we think will help hardware engineering teams more rapidly build their world-changing technologies.
No, I have no doubt they would but I never suggested they should be allowed to. I think the sale and quality should be heavily regulated, advertising still banned, and requirements made to be allowed to purchase it. Like age, and who knows, maybe going through some basic harm reduction training.

Certainly not advocating doing anything the way the US does it, in almost any respect. But the pharma thing is fundamentally a different issue. The reason people so easily become addicted to painkillers is because they're initially given for pain by someone they trust, while unbeknownst to them they've actually been given too much, for too long. In other words this is an issue of doctors abusing their authority.

Why don't I think it would get worse? Because of cultural norms. Legalising heroin won't make it cool and socially acceptable to use. People don't actually derive their social values solely from what happens to be legal.

Let me ask you a question. Why isn't everyone an alcoholic or a smoker? Why do they become rarer(in the west) despite those drugs being legal?

(Hint: the reason is cultural).
If you follow the link in the second paragraph to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaprekar%27s_routine, there are some statements on how this routine plays out in different bases. For base 8, there is no fixed point with 4 digits (i.e. any number that immediately loops back to itself), but apparently there are some cycles (e.g. 3065 → 6152 → 5243 → 3065).
What part of my proposition is unfleshed or unsupported by facts? It's not like some 100 page dissertation, it's a comment on HN. Of course you could spend weeks discussing anything in the detail it deserves.
I'm all for Storj (or Sia, or Filecoin) managing to create an alternative to AWS/GCP/Azure, but even if they succeed, they are never going to be able to make their system operate at a lower cost of the existing commodity.

I recently set up a Minio cluster with 80TB (usable, 120TB total) for ~150€/month. Storj is cheap (~3.5€/TB/month), but there is no way that Storj can ever be that cheap. And we are not even talking about egress fees.

It's difficult for them to see them truly disrupting the market when their systems have by design so much overhead and middleman wanting a cut. The moment that this model starts to become a threat to the big cloud providers, they will slash their prices and then any advantage will be gone.

The best I see for these decentralized storage systems is to work as a tit-for-tat backup, maybe?
> Is it heavier?

But, to be clear, a plugin hybrid is lighter than a comparable all-electric car because the battery is so much smaller. E.g. a Chevy Volt weighs about 3500 lbs vs. about 3800-4000 lbs for a Model 3.
I built a React SSR app on Vite using Vike (https://vike.dev), it worked well enough for my simple needs. Best part was I was able to easily reuse a bunch of components from the primary React SPA app that lives side-by-side in the same project without needing to buy into the "Next.js way".
>So now the reason is "the algorithm" and not ubiquitous Friends reruns?

I don't really think that the aesthetic described here matches the aesthetic of the Friends coffee shop, no? Or am I crazy?
This is very normal. Your kids won't need nearly as much of your time in a few years and you'll have time for hobbies again. Enjoy how much time you're spending with them now and have faith that you'll be "interesting" again when you have fewer demands from family life.
Didn't know about it but their design decision is really cool (not very clear with the difference between the normal version and the "256 Mo" confusing).

The software side doesn't seem very mature with very few help regarding TinyML. But this course seem interesting https://sophon.ai/curriculum/description.html?category_id=48

In the UK you get to pay both public and private healthcare. Both of low quality. Private health care relies on “virtual appointments” and usually leads to mis diagnostics. It will get worse with ai.
>They did labor for other reasons, and were happy with it.

True, sadly most of those copyright are probably owned by other megacorp. So they either collude to surppess the entire industry or eat each other alive in legal clashes. The latter is happening as we speak (the writers for NYT are probably long retired, but NYT still owns the words) so I guess we'll see how that goes.

>OpenAI found a way to benefit by learning from these images. The same way that every artist on the planet benefits by learning from the images of their fellow artists.

If we treat AI like humans, art historically has an equally thin line between inspiration and plagiarism. There are simply more objective metrics to measure now because we can indeed go inside an AI's proverbial brain. So the metaphor is pretty apt, except with more scrutiny able to be applied.
> I'll happily take this shit-show cacophony of various 2fa methods and authentication types if nobody is stealing money from my bank account or ordering stuff on ebay on my behalf.

Even better: I wouldn't care about people stealing money from my bank account if cleaning it up and making whole was my bank's responsibility and not mine or some hapless vendor. Neither I, nor store vendors should have to put up with the "shit-show cacophony." The bank's entire reason for existence is to secure access to my money--it should be entirely their problem.
Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it!

You're right, but I think of it as a business card that brings together this information like other social media profiles, you know? Not a "social network" per se.

But maybe this “QrMe” idea is not the best marketing strategy.

Honestly, I liked the idea initially because I could use markdown to create the profile and merge AI in some way.

Thanks again!
About 15 years ago, I developed an unfortunate reaction to drinking beer: heartburn that made me wish I was dead. Kinda ruined Mexican and BBQ dinners, both of which are not just tasty, but cultural events here in Texas. The condition got progressively worse, but I still stepped up for the abuse from time to time,until I tried a thick, chewy porter or stout that did NOT trigger the dreaded heartburn. I still have the heartburn (I manage it with an unusual mineral supplement), but can almost always enjoy a good, dark, porter or stout (the darker, the better), which has improved life quite a bit!
> Or demanding the return of Hamas held hostages?

Everyone wants the hostages released. That would be amazing!

The best way to achieve that has been negotiations/ceasefire. Only one hostage has been freed by the IDF in this war so far.

> Where's the protests demanding Egypt allow refugees entry?

You are aligned with Israeli policy: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/01/05/wv-israel-ha...

The Palestinians want to stay. Israel's policy is to ethnically cleanse them, so preventing aid, starving them, destroying all buildings and then saying that they must to go Egypt makes sense.

Israel should let aid into Gaza so they don't starve - read more here: https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/how-israels-inspectio...
A Comprehensive Guide to Effective Software Maintenance Phase
It's hard to predict statically which branches will be dynamically unpredictable.

A seasoned hardware architect once told me that Intel went all-in on predication for Itanium, under the assumption that a Sufficiently Smart Compiler could figure it out, and then discovered to their horror that their compiler team's best efforts were not Sufficiently Smart. He implied that this was why Intel pushed to get a profile-guided optimization step added to the SPEC CPU benchmark, since profiling was the only way to get sufficiently accurate data.

I've never gone back to see whether the timeline checks out, but it's a good story.
> Copyright only makes any sense for goods with a high fixed cost of production and low to zero marginal cost.

If that's the case, then novels, news articles, digital images, etc. are things that copyright absolutely makes sense for. If you think that they have a "low cost of production", you are sadly misinformed about the artistic process.

Some of these have vanishingly low marginal costs when it comes to reproduction, but in light of their high fixed cost of production, I don't see how that matters.
> Thus if you are a rich person trying to donate a lot of money to a truly good cause the charity will sometimes be forced to refuse your money despite needing it - just to keep the IRS away.

I would be very surprised if this is true for most legit charities. I am pretty involved with a couple of 501c3s and I do not think any of them would turn away a valid donation from a reputable individual out of fear of the IRS.
"Vote with your wallet" should only ever mean paying a lobby and an election campaign to influence your elected politicians.

You choosing to buy from Apple instead of Samsung will sure have an impact on the world, but probably not how you think it will, not what will be marketed, and more in the line of which lobby Apple chooses to pay with your money down the line.
My experience is that you can start the process by entering your credit card details, or use your camera to try fill them in for you.

Apple then checks if your card issuer has ApplePay enabled and if so provisions a “virtual” card which is what is stored on the device’s Secure Enclave.

I also just checked my banking app quickly which can initiate the adding of the card to wallet, showing the wallet’s add card screen with the card holder name and the last 4 digits and asking if you want to proceed.

There is no way to see what the full virtual card number is, so there is no way to use this virtual card aside from tapping your phone on CC machines or using websites which have set up ApplePay as a payment method.

CC machines don’t actually have to support ApplePay specifically, as long as it supports tap to pay without insisting on a PIN, then ApplePay works with it. In essence your phone’s NFC exactly implements the same capabilities and protocols as NFC chips on normal credit cards.
> you'll likely see art move increasingly to a patronage system

It is?

But also this is dismissive without understanding either system at play. Traditional art has galleries because no one wants to buy art that they haven't seen. But this creates a problem if our galleries are on the internet. It no longer matters how much you attempt to stop a user from downloading or copying the art, they still can. We even see efforts to watermark art on public posting but we also see efforts to remove the watermarks. It's very clear to me that this is becoming a more complex time to be an artist than it was, say 5 years ago. Maybe better than 100 years ago, but that would be ridiculous to compare to as we'd have to get into an argument about the point of societies and if a goal is to make life better.

Strangely this is something some in the NFT crowd were attempting to solve. We can all agree that there were lots of scams (I'd even say dominated by scams and grifting) in the area and that there was poor execution of even good faith attempts, but I'm just trying to say that this was motivation for sum. They weren't even trying to solve as difficult of a problem, they were just trying to solve the problem of proof of ownership. It's not like you can use timestamps or public/private key pairs for proof. It still wouldn't even solve the problem of redistribution or training. It wouldn't prevent someone from even buying the art and training on it even if the artist specified that that was against the TOS (a whole other philosophical debate about TOS and physical ownership that I don't want to get into).

I think you're simplifying the problem and being ready to dismiss without adequately demonstrating an understanding of the issues and environment. I don't know what the answer is but I sure as hell know it is a lot more complex than "let the 'free market' run its course".

I think the point is that this is an artistic choice. I consider that paragraph to be halfway between poetry and prose. It's not the style of writing that you would want for most forms of communication, but if you think of it as being akin to a bit of poetry, then perhaps you will find it more acceptable.

I for one really appreciate seeing language being used so artistically. (Though if I was reading a technical spec, product description, legal contract, etc... absolutely not.)
That makes for a great caricature, but React does not depend on `is-even`. As for the small modules, this is just the Unix philosophy lived out, "do one thing well," which is ironically what a lot of hardcore systems people used to preach.
I'm surprised to see perplexity's 70B online model score so low on model quality and somehow far worse mixtral and gpt3.5(they use a fine tuned gpt3.5 as the foundational model AFAIK)

I run https://www.labophase.com and my data suggests that it's one of the top 3 models in terms of users liking to interact with it. May I know how model quality is benchmarked to understand this discrepancy?
