Would it be possible to get a higher quality read from using something like an Arduino's I/O pins and some bit-banged C code? I'd be curious to see what would be possible using cheap, off-the-shelf tools since a lot of people don't necessarily have an oscilloscope laying around. :P
> If governments start implementing a vacancy tax that grows as vacancy duration increases, essentially forcing the market to unstick, we'd likely see a rapid implosion of commercial real estate.

Doesn’t sounds like a horrible thing, but perhaps I’m not understanding what the impact would be to us “regular folk” if the commercial real estate bubble popped.
“ Apple shows it as being roughly the same size as the M2 processor in the Vision Pro marketing[3], indicating it's a peer to the M2”

Errr, that’s not how this works. The size of them being similar means absolutely nothing.

The R1 is a coprocessor, I mean it’s basically a big signal processor with a decent amount of RAM to handle all the camera inputs, and does some GPU like stuff, but isn’t a GPU
The first part makes sense, the second one doesn't: where would that 'c' come from? No such thing as Sclavic people, never was.

Nevertheless, I'm not sure if there is any reflection on the fact that mediterranean pirates (and nomadic tribes further east) plundered Balkans for captives and southwestern europeans then bought them. And that, perhaps, was a suboptimal way to behave.
It's kinda crazy argument, I think data loss is way more likely with a centralised system than a decentralised system.
Having an effective monorepo at scale will also require an entire infrastructure to solve all the problems that a poly-repo must solve and more. In particular,

- Partial download, as a monorepo will quickly grow too large for a single person to download. This is trivial for poly-repo but requires dedicated system for monorepo.

- Dependency management. With a decently sized monorepo, one can't compile everything and test everything. So, someone needs to build a dependency manager to track all the DAGs, and build only the DAGs that are impacted by a commit. One also has to build a trackign mechanism for deploying different build artifacts because a team may deploy all the build artifacts in different date and time. We will need more sophisticated build tools too.

- Build infrastructure. Even with a perfect dependency-tracking system, we may still end up building large-enough source code that we need to build the code in parallel.

- Directory-level access control. This is also trivial for poly-repo since the granularity is at repo-level, but it requires dedicated implementation for a mono-repo.

I'm not sure if the marginal benefit of having a monorepo can justify the investment for most of the companies. Google created monorepo initially to manage the dependencies of C++ code, and Perforce already supported partial downloads. But with more modern languages that have their own way of dependency management? I'm not so sure about the benefits. Making refactoring easier? How many repos are really shared at source level across multiple teams in a company? Encouraging sharing source and therefore knowledge? Isn't it a solved problem? Any decent company allows searching source code at semantic level across multiiple repos. If I want to see the source code of a particular package in my IDE, it's just a click away. Note I'm emphasizing marginal return of monorepo. Case in point, Google maintains the very use Guava library, which is probably used by millions of engineers. Does it lead to pains of incompatibility errors at runtime across different releases? Absolutely. Is it worth changing my poly-repo to monorepo to solve the problem? I highly doubt so. The compatibility issue happens rarely given good testing setup. When I do need to migrate my code, the cost is bi-modal: either the refactoring is trivial, or it requires serious testing and design changes, which a monrepo will not help anyway.

Note I'm not saying that monorepo is not useful. Instead, I question how many companies will benefit from switching to monorepo, which may lead to the discussion on the potential market share of Diversion.
The risk comes from taking the 2b agonist regularly, that's why it causes fibrosis. Not only is taking the larger dose safer as long as there are no preexisting cardiovascular issues but microdosing has been shown to be no better than placebo

Microdoses also don't inspire hippocampal neurogenesis whereas larger doses do

Microdosing is not only not beneficial but it may be actively harmful

"...it is possible that chronic microdosing may carry a risk of fibrosis and VHD, which should be assessed in future studies. There is converging evidence that simulation of the 5-HT2BR over several months may lead to the development of fibrosis. Duration of intake plays a major role in drug-induced VHD, even if the substance is not taken daily (Connolly et al., 1997; Schade et al., 2007)."

Submodules are great, but they're hardly an alternative to monorepos.
While the issue is the same, context can make things different. In Ruby, I love proxy objects returned from accessors. In Rust, I wouldn't even support adding accessors to the language. Different goals and objectives.
There’s a related occurrence of the same principle — we have had movies/stories about the wild west for longer than the archetype frontier period existed.

No, likely a dedicated DSP chip to handle the aforementioned 12 cameras + 5 sensors + 6 mics.
I don't think it is a GPU, rather it is probably very similar to a DSP/Neural Network chip. Lots of matrix multiplication capabilities and streaming data.

(Of which https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_processor are a subset of, which someone else in this forum mentions.)

DSPs are similar to GPUs in many respects but they are also similar to CPUs in many respects, but it doesn't make them the same.

Half of the battle is convincing the tax payers that they need war. AI will be great for this. It will be a propaganda tool par excellence.
This debate feels awfully academic in the face of AI girlfriends and AI nannies. The next generation of humans are going to grow up believing these personified machines know and understand things because of the experiences they have with them and academic papers won't convince them otherwise.

I feel like there's some latent need for human exceptionalism among those who want to downplay an LLM's potential for understanding, but none of us hold up to scrutiny when quantized to our bits.
The Java Card environment is quite limited, though, due to resource limitations.

There have been several more-or-less successful attempts at running higher-level languages on microcontrollers, e.g. .Net Micro Framework and CircuitPython. In all of these cases, though, you tend to struggle with all the native device behavior being described/intended by the vendor for use with C or C++ and the BSP for the higher level environment being an afterthought.

To a larger point, european citizens are largely favorable to those regulations, which makes passing these rules possible, and not a political suicide.

HN might not be representative, but the number of comments we see defending companies's right to make as much money as they can and against regulation that would add costs to businesses is IMHO pretty high. If that's the general US sentiment, politicians the have little upside in putting burdens on tech companies in the first place.

> How can any company be considered a competitor to Starlink while relying on SpaceX to get into LEO?

Because SpaceX is subject to the same antitrust measures as any other company.
I don't think anyone's suggesting that an airline would misrepresent all their flights as being on A320s that don't exist and then claim to swap for mechanical issues at the gate to 737s that do. And they could do this on every single ticket. (Is that what people are suggesting?)

They're complaining that they could buy a ticket out of one airport on an A320, that plane could get delayed, and the airline could swap in a 737 that was waiting for another route. Passengers on the other route would then get the Airbus that they hadn't specifically filtered for. That might happen on one in 50 or one in 100 flights.
Doesn't insurance have the incentive to go after car thefts?

I've never heard of cops listening to e.g. bike theft (I had my bike stolen, didn't even bother) but I would think if you file a claim for a stolen car the insurance company would bother the cops enough for them to look into it.
How can any company be considered a competitor to Starlink while relying on SpaceX to get into LEO?

As opposed to the alternative of not using SpaceX?

If they aren't using SpaceX to launch their satellites, it's their loss.
No but Spirit Aero makes both A330 and 737 parts, including fuselages and wing components among others, so while I know this thread was made in jest, the commonality is still worth acknowledging given the greater context.
For the psychedelics this is very true, I enjoy mostly low doses. But I am not so sure about the MDMA. If I didn't have enough to get "over the hill" it always felt it's about to come on now but it never does it's just a very dissapointing limbo state. Even worse, redosing after that won't get you the full effect either for that night (maybe because some serotonin was already depleted at that point).

Hey, thanks for making this! And thanks for posting here.

I was wondering if you are willing to share some of the innerworkings of this. You mention in the FAQ that it works for almost any site, so I am guessing you are not developing a per-site scraping script, rather something more generic? Maybe AI? How do you protect from AI mangling results unexpectedly (I don't know if this is a risk, I have no AI experience)

Care to share more?

Safety margins should be at their max before flight, I'm thankful engineers at Airbus put more bolts than required if they go missing mid flight, but before take-off it should be back at 100% safety margin.
Seems like this will be a huge price hike for my current use-case (many small infrequently used projects for things like labs, courses, POCs or projects just starting). Neon has not been around for long enough for us to use them on large, customer-facing projects yet. I'm pretty disappointed with a company that until recently I have loved using and have had great communication with.

This really signals a move away from a "pay-for-what-you-use" model (i.e. actually serverless) and towards something where they put arbitrary caps on plans to make you upgrade. Why can't I pay for extra storage or projects on the launch plan? Why do I have to pay for a Scale plan to set my autoscaling timeout lower?!
You are an outlier. I'm with you, but I think it's important to recognize that we are a very very tiny minority

From what I gather, fine-tuning is unreasonably effective [0] because in-context learning really depends on how powerful the underlying model is and just how you do RAG (process queries, retrieve embeddings, rank outcomes, etc [1]). Per this paper I read, fine-tuning may add new domain knowledge (but as another commenter pointed out, knowledge is better represented from data of the pre-training stage) or boost specific knowledge; while RAG is limited to boosting only; nevertheless, both techniques turn out to be similarly capable with different trade-offs [2].

Well, if you're an insider at one of these companies, then please enlighten us!

What has changed from DeepMind as independent entity to Google DeepMind (following the hivemind LLM "path" to AGI ;) ) ?

What does it mean for FAIR to now be part of a product group ?

I'm sure the CEOs of these companies hope these changes are significant and will better align these research organizations with their corporate goals and marketplace opportunities ...

Is OpenAI pursuing AGI-directed research outside of LLMs, or is it now all hands on deck towards next GPT 5.0 product release ?

Control Law for Fast, Non-Ringing Transients for Dynamic Systems
"This paper discloses the simultaneous and interdependent development of an actuator and its novel control law. Magnetostrictive alloy terfenol-d offers high energy density. When packaged properly, quantum mechanics within terfenol-d maintains its performance. The novel control law tames and directs its untapped potential. Therefore, terfenol-d can provide lifetime direct operation of the needle in an injector for a compression-ignition engine, potentially improving emissions, efficiency, fuel flexibility, and combustion noise.

The novel control law yields a custom forcing function for desired boundary conditions such as either non-ringing or deliberately ringing transients for this actuator as well as other non-magnetostrictive dynamic systems. The two key characteristics that enable such a custom forcing function are to (1) use the Bright Principle of modeling all energy terms and (2) setting up a specific polynomial to solve for the desired boundary conditions for a particular dynamic system.

Test data from an actuator aided the development of this general and flexible control law. Implementing the control law, a computer predicts the necessary voltage with respect to time to achieve a set displacement within a defined transient time. A difference in frequency content appears between fast Fourier transform (FFT) spectra of non-ringing followed by deliberately ringing displacement data."
This depends largely on your requirements.

* How well can you estimate job cost? How should overestimates and/or underestimates be treated?

* Where, when and how often does resource contention occur between jobs? Is it from a single resource, or from multiple different resources?

* What constraints or behaviors does the contended resource(s) possess (e.g. rate limits, pipelining, etc.) that would materially impact how you determine which job to run next?

* What guarantees do you wish to make (e.g. execution latency, resource availability, etc.)?

* How is resource usage quota determined? Are quotas updated frequently? Are there any circumstances under which you would like to allow users to exceed their quota (e.g. temporary burst workloads, idle periods of time)?

You mean the SVG-generation stuff? I'm not convinced that's not just another form of text. It can "speak SVG" like it can "speak German". I spent a fair amount of time asking it to draw me SVGs of fish, and the results suggested "there's always a triangle, there's always a circle", not "it's got a tail and an eye, and they're connected to the body". It didn't seem to understand the relationships between the components. Could be wrong though.

But is that intentional or luck (that their sense of justice and whatnot happens to align with societal or parental expectations)?
I don't think this is correct. The M-series chips themselves have ISP's in them.
When the authorities you've placed your trust in have demonstrated they're incapable of doing their job to keep you safe, it's normal to take that authority back into your own hands. It would only be hysteria if the Boeing incident hadn't indicated a systemic failure in the air-safety system.
Yeah, but raising the error is the conditional in there. Which, to me, makes the try catch conditional as well, but that may be a case of differing semantics.

Yeah, flow control isn't just conditional jumps. You can kinda treat branchless code as a form of flow control as well.
> If you're relying on your competitor to enable your business model then you're not competing with them.

Brave relies on Google. DuckDuckGo relies on other search engines, etc. And they are in the same market.

Orbital launch systems and satellites are not in the same market. SpaceX would do themselves a disservice if they weren't willing to launch anything other than their own satellites.

The author's previous video[1] explains the technical details regarding this behavior.

Basically the way GBA sound works is there is a buffer in RAM that the audio is streamed from, and an interrupt is supposed to signal the hardware to begin reading data from the beginning of the buffer again. However, if the interrupt is never fired (such as when the game crashes), the audio stream will go beyond the buffer and read other parts of memory.

Labor is becoming more expensive, even in the developed world. Eventually, people will want to do more productive things that drive a taxi for a little bit of money.

There is an argument for traffic optimization that will be possible when self driving taxis are common, but this is more of an argument also for the developing world where traffic is a much larger problem than the developed world (e.g. LA traffic is nothing compared to Beijing traffic).

We actually encountered a similar usecase. SaaS tools that need to version user-generated data and configurations. We're offering an API so this can be done easily. What you offer can also be done.
I'm not sure it's a huge market though, meanwhile lots of developers that can't work with Git (e.g. games) are looking for solutions, we're seeing a real need there. But we might branch out to other things, for sure.
> That claim was false.

It was not. A login cookie isn't an API key. It serves a different purpose, which you can observe on the services that do have an API key and then separately require some other credentials to make posts as a particular user account.

Here's a good way to distinguish them. If I want to make my own app (in this context a web browser), do I have to maintain some intermediary servers that the app makes requests through in order to keep my, the app developer's, API key a secret from the users who are using the app? No, the user only needs their own user account, and only for the things that require a user account, and the service expects for each user to have their own account, rather than each app.
“Understand” - people keep using that word and I don’t think they understand what it means.
