yes, you should.

In this case, there are equally dead ice cars lined up at equally dead pumps. What was the value to you, to be so selectively informed of only one of two true facts?

Also in this case, the chargers at this location happen to be broken, and the failure for the users is that Tesla didn't fix them, and worse, didn't remove them from the computer for route planning. What was the value to you to be told only that there are some dead evs? No gas stations ever turn out to be closed when you get there?

Evs don't come close to the utility of ice yet by a long shot, but this news source absolutely did not inform you of anything except what people who consume this news source think. It's only meta-informative about it's audience, not at all about it's actual content.
I think dogs can be self aware.
I think self-awareness is the ability to comprehend the "Self" as distinct from the "environment" and then compute and weigh the likely outcomes of different actions. It is high level thinking with many pre-requisites.

An alarm clock is not self aware, because it doesn't model the world, and select between actions.

Similarly, a bee, (which I believe to act on pre-programed instinct, not in the moment reason), is not self aware. This is because it selects between actions, but can not logically model the world.

A dog, on the other hand, can build logical models of the world, and then take actions based on that. It can that begging from one person results in treats, while begging from another results in discipline. It can update this logic and behavior based on new information.
The goal of my post was not to answer what differentiates google search with LLMs and other generative models, it was to respond to the original post above:

> Does copyright law say you can ingest copyrighted work at very large scale and sell derivates of those works to gain massive profit / massive market capitalizations

The reasons as to why I don't think training on copyrighted data are stated in my other comments replying to people who have made arguments about its immorality.

> Why?

Locking people down at home for over 2 years. Damaging an entire generation of young children in the process.

Destroying the economy in the process. Inflationary policies which lead to recessions and stagflation globally from which we still haven't recovered (and probably won't for the next 5-10 years).

Spreading mass fear and hysteria based on little empirical (and often contradictory) evidence.

Obliterating global travel and commerce.

Forced global-scale campaigns on live, involuntary human experimentation. Get the jab or stay locked up. Get the app or forget about going to work today.

Forcing people to wear thin pieces of cloth over their faces for no reason.

Silencing any critique and punishing any forms of noncompliance with heavy fines and incarceration (Djokovic is a threat to national security and public health).

Normalizing "asking difficult questions" as something only "conspiracy theorists" would do.

Installing anti-democratic laws and mechanisms which subvert the individual's right to free speech, gathering, movement, and control over their own body.

Bullshit and twisted statistics arbitrarily used as excuse for random decisions.

This list is far from complete...
Interestingly in my country many full service banks have dropped foriegn currency services. They did that during the panademic but never returned back to offering that again. I suspect they make so much money from Visa/Mastercard commissions that they'd prefer people paid with card rather than cash.
Lots of improvement is worth noting in this new release.
But it can be managed, to mitigate mold and decay.
Y Combinator needs another infrastructure software engineer
Y Combinator (the people who run this site) | Infrastructure Software Engineer | Bay Area | Full-time

I currently run YC’s infrastructure and I need some help! Over the last 7 years I’ve been at YC, our software team has grown considerably both in engineers and in products. We need to invest more in our infrastructure so we can keep shipping our products quickly.

The main thing you’ll need in this job is curiosity; I work at every layer of a very large stack. One day you might dig into AWS apis, another it’s a 3rd party Ruby gem or our git history. Or maybe you get paged that all the SSDs for Hacker News (primary and standby!) died on the same day :) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32028511.

The first few months will be heavier on infrastructure work but in the future the job will hopefully be equal parts developer experience, infrastructure work, and product engineering that impacts all of our products (think SSO, sending email, security, etc). This isn't just an SRE role; we also ship products to users.

The main products we support are all Ruby on Rails apps running in AWS (mostly in ECS); ideally you’ve already worked on apps like that. You have at least 5 years of experience. Part of that was shipping code to customers but you’ve also got cloud experience (we try to mostly use Terraform). You’re probably the person people turn to when there’s a fire to put out.

YC has excellent compensation and benefits (see more in the formal job description: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/y-combinator/jobs/0Ewh...). The team and the work life balance are great. About half of us are former founders and many of us are parents. And if you’re curious about startups (and possibly starting one someday), this job gives you amazing access to interact with YC’s programs, partners, and founders.

If you’re interested, I’d love to chat! I’m mark@ycombinator.com.
Are viruses alive? They’re pretty close. That pretty-closeness is evidence that the definition of ‘living’ is arbitrary. In high school biology, ‘living’ was a list of five points to be memorized, and those points were definitely made up by humans. And viruses were used as a sorta-joke by the teacher to illustrate that it’s arbitrary.

Why I cared enough to dig into that: every word/category is arbitrary; words and word-logic only help us insofar as they tell us useful things about reality.
As a former recruiter, I very much disagree:)

Even if a candidate passed a strong technical assessment, there are many other factors and skills that make a person a successful team member. A gap is just one of many possible signals that a person might not be a perfect employee. It’s a common sense question to ask for recruiters. They do not need to be explicitly told by their bosses to ask the question and it does not have much to say about the organization. All it takes is to talk to hundreds of candidates for various roles and see how inconsistent the candidates quality is and tie it back to employment history.

The ideal resume is a series of 2 to 5 year stints or promotions within the same company where each role is of increasing responsibility and level. 80th percentile candidates who want to work do not spent long periods of time unemployed. It’s always a matter of someone having major priorities beyond work or an inability to work.

And I say all this as a person who took a year break because I had priorities outside of work, then with awareness of that impact, aggressively jumped back into the workforce at month 12.
More like "grifters and their marks have no diversity" in that, neither Alex Jones nor Goop are selling unregulated products for political reasons. They have cultivated an extremely motivated, more money than sense, gullible audience willing to eat up ANY nonsense you spout, no matter how self contradictory or evidently wrong to even the minimum of critical thinking, and are simply mining that self organizing gullible audience for profit.

Goop and Infowars are the same product, just in a different box.

>I get what you're saying, but why hasn't a better search engine emerged yet?

Although Moore's law brought down the price of hardware and information processing dramatically in the last 20 years, it is still fairly expensive to crawl the Web, index it and rank it. Hardware cost + engineering cost can escalate pretty quickly, unless you decide to have smaller index than major search engines but then users will complain that search results are not good enough.
There is a, frankly insane episode of This American Life, where they take a look at one of the stories Alex tells about his childhood. The ending of it is remarkable: even though they are talking to people who know the story that Alex tells is false, absolute fiction... they still believe him on everything else.

> It kept happening. All these people who knew for sure that Alex had been a liar back in Rockwall. A lot of them believed that what he says on Infowars might be true. They have a reference for him, like Coach Randy.

It gives some insight into the personalities here.

Dollar stores are the killer here. They can easily undercut regular grocery stores (low selection, low worker count) but they do not have produce sections. So people just give up the produce section to get all the other processed stuff cheaper.
TF used to be the most popular framework by a large margin, so a lot of things that were started 5+ years ago are still on it. PyTorch is most popular in places that only started more recently or have the ability to switch easily, e.g. new startups, research, LLMs, education, and companies that have the resources to do a migration project.
And are the burners themselves illegal because you can name illegal uses for them?

There are actually tons of chips that are great for this type of workload. You can run simple vision applications on any 32 bit MCU with ~256kb RAM and ROM.

There's a list of MCUs here:

And some accelerators here:

This is just stuff that has support in Edge Impulse, but there are many other chips too.
Great!

I find it interesting that the top sellers are the most expensive models for Apple. Seems like this was not always the case.

Another point is looking at their source for the top sellers [1], the top four are: 14 pro max, 14 pro, 14, and 13. Next are 5 Samsung models, then the iphone 11 in tenth place. Notably, the iphone 14 Plus is not even in the top 10.

GPU memory isolation is generally really bad, from between processes and entire virtual machines.

Does anyone know if nvidia's virtual gpus improve the isolation at all?
Done several times in several other comments. This question is absolutely answered.
There is a rather vibrant culture of _human_ remix artists who sample existing music and generate something completely new. It is still an open question of how long a sample they can use before it requires licensing:

But all of this, doesn't have much to do with whether an AI should be allowed to consume public media -- even if we agree they need to do a better job about avoiding verbatim reconstruction when prompted.

Edit: I wasn't able to find the Lawrence Lessig talk I wanted to link, but here's a quite old one that makes some of the same points:

... and since the economy cannot give pertinent jobs to all households, many need a social accomodation... and the french gov is unable to provide enough "decent" ones (this is a very, VERY, complicated matter, a very slow process). French president Macron did acknowledge openly and recently that France has an immigration issue. Things may start to be uglier: immigrants (1st/2nd gen) are now competing for this resource with natives.
That's not _React_, that's `create-react-app`, which was built long ago, and isn't really used so much today for starting new projects (for obvious reasons). (In fact, it's considered deprecated)

Where it saves me time is when using a framework I'm not used to - it more often than not solves my problem (but not by a large stretch - perhaps 60% of the time).

Even more common is getting shell/UNIX commands to do what I want. I don't have all the standard UNIX tools (cut, etc) in my head, and I definitely don't keep all the command line options in my head. GPT4 tells me what I need, and it's much quicker to confirm it via the --help or man pages than craft it myself by reading those pages.

> are making a very logical and reasonable trade-off.

no they are giving in to hype and it's insanity to pay real world money for a laptop where you can't remove storage. Whether it's for repairs or for upgrade this is a fundamental feature that really can't be negotiated with. There are no ifs, buts, nothing. Reason doesn't enter the picture of buying a computer without removable storage. A lot other things do but reason does not.

And, to add, unlike with LPDDR memory, there's no engineering reason to do this. There's a lot other reasons -- most of them are not pretty -- but engineering wise your wins are practically none.
Difference in scale (order of magnitude) is difference in kind (in every area of life), so yes, scale can be argued as the problem.
I'm envisioning the ability to actually create photos with proper composition, using a combination of the tripod-mounted cameras. In particular, I'm thinking of how the NFL uses multiple cameras to create imagery that pivots through space, even where there are no cameras. The quality isn't super great, but that is created in near-realtime. With these tripod cameras, you could create shots from anywhere, after the fact. And you wouldn't have someone crouching in the aisle, clicking away. I'm sure the technology isn't ready just yet, but I imagine that within a few years it will be possible to create these sorts of shots with hardware that is competitively priced compared to a professional photographer.
My maternal grandfather was a pipe fitter on the railroad, before becoming a defense contractor, and also before contracting mesothelioma and dying when I was 6.

He owned a sizable property in California which included a large home and some attached apartments. They ran a boarding-house for immigrants, and later, my widowed grandmother became a landlady.

I was raised with a fervent love for railroads of all types. I had little engineer togs as a toddler and a professional photoshoot to prove it. We rode around on a scale railroad in the park. But most of all, my grandfather's labor of love was building a model train set for me in an upstairs bedroom.

It was essentially a simple affair; grandpa had built a large plywood table topped with Astroturf. The rails themselves were in a large figure-eight, with not much landscaping or scenery around. We concentrated on the technical bits: a good AC/DC transformer with variable knob, some nice rolling stock with the traditional freight-train assortment of cars, and a locomotive that had that smokestack where you could insert a little tablet and it'd puff out "steam" while it ran.

My sister and I loved that whole setup, and it was like catnip to us in our youth, at least until the Atari 2600 took over. The railroad remained the centerpiece of that room and a focal point of our entertainment for years and years, even after grandpa passed away. It was really a cool thing for an authentic railroad guy to pass that on to his grandchildren.
Thank you for sharing, those are awesome exercises.

It's easy to measure. You sit a dev down in front of it and time how long it takes them to understand it. That's not just an estimate that's the key value itself.
The article says there are 3 advantages of IPFS -- speed, data verification, and data resilience. HTTPS/curl can provide the latter two. Does someone know if they published speed numbers of IPFS vs HTTPS/curl in the satellite environment?

Can I suggest going one further and have esc mapped to tap, ctrl to hold. You can also map double escape to :noh in vim, which allows you to quickly remove highlighting.
It's like in the UK. They say that immigration is a problem because people are unhappy about it but they do nothing about it and, in fact, push for more.
Project seems to be dead.
The FDA has found (after it was reported) homeopathic teething baby medicine where belladonna (nightshade) was claimed to be the homeopathic source but instead of being diluted to nonexistence like normal homeopathy there were dangerous levels of belladonna in the tablets. Unregulated supplements do not need to contain what they say on the bottle, and they can also contain things the bottle does not say they contain. That is legal.
>Is there really a difference between a human flooding the market using AI and a human flooding the market using a printing press?

A magnitude of difference, yes. Even a printing press will be limited by natural resources, which require humans to procure.

A computer server can do a lot more with a lot less. And is much easier to scale than a printing press.

>Even if human's can't compete (An obviously untrue premise from my perspective, but lets assume it for the sake of argument), is that a bad thing?

When the AI can be argued to be stealing human's work, yes. A printing press didn't need to copy Shakespeare to be useful. And it'd benefit Shakespeare anyways because more people get to read about his works.

So far I don't see how AI benefits artists. Optimistically:

-an artist can make their own market? Doubtful, they will be outgunned by SEO optimized ads from corporations.

- they can make commissions faster? To begin with commissions aren't a sustainable business. Even if they 5x the labor and somehow kept the same prices they aren't living well. But in reality, they will get less business as people will AI their "good enough" art and probably won't pay as much for something not fully hand drawn

- okay, they can make bigger commissions? There's a drama about spending 50k on a 3 minute AMV, imagine if that could be done by a single artist in a day now!... Well, give it another 10 years. Lot of gen Ai is static assets. Rigging or animating is still far from acceptable quality, and a much harder problem space. I also wouldn't be surprised if by then any AI models has its own phase of enshittification and you end up blowing hundreds, thousands anyway.

>Humans should not be forced to pointlessly toil out of protectionism when they could be turning their attention to something that can't be automated.

Until someone conceptualizes a proper UBI scheme, pointlessly toiling is how most of the non-elite live. I have yet to hear of a real alternative for these misplaced artists to move towards.

So what? So we all just become managers in meetings in 30 years?

> If you're using GHA to publish then you still need a trusted branch to provide secrets to

The vulnerability was exactly that the secrets of the trusted branch can get leaked :)

> you can still upload to PyPI manually with an API Token

I can, BUT if you want to be a Trusted Publisher™ the only way is to do it via github.

https://docs.pypi.org/trusted-publishers/

Most likely the plan is to make it compulsory for all projects eventually, just like they made 2fa compulsory.

So less secure is considered as MORE secure by pypi :) Which is consistent with the idea that no PGP signature is more secure than signed uploads. Or the idea that a global token in a clear text file is somehow safer than a password that gets typed every time.
Right, adding "discussion", "forum" and even "reddit" to the search term increases quality dramatically. Also, Google is still great to search websites. I gave up on Stackoverflow's own search but add "site:stackoverflow.com" to my searches on google.

BTW, maybe someone wants to create a very simple webpage with a search mask that allows adding a few (customizable) terms and options and simply forwards that to Google's search when pressing enter.
None of my group chats send me notifications on message, I just check them when I check them. Still use them all the time. And if something actually needs coordinating, someone drops an @everyone or sends out DMs.

I have found many IoT devices don’t play nice when given nxdomain. Often they will respect high TTLs though. Giving them an address with a high TTL that returns an error often silences them nicely.
I've seen this a lot in contexts with specific workloads the last 10 years or so. With both physical space and PCIE lanes being factors, as well as how you handle virtualization/barebones setups. This can help with simplifying failover as well for HA.

For example, storage servers usually are full to the brim of harddrives and SSDs.

Then you might need to process your data on GPUs/CPUs where you have specific servers specced out with more CPU/GPU resources.
People are trying really hard to make "search" or something like it the killer app for LLMs but from what I've seen, it's translation. Coding in its purest form is a kind of translation, from natural language requirements to more precise computer languages and vice versa. Keeping an LLM properly focused on that task, it's pretty astonishing what it can do. But as you say, assuming it can do anything more than that is a trap.
