> to some the price of the stock is the only thing that is a measure of value of a public company.

Who are the people who invest in a public company for any reason other than to have their numbers go up? That's the entire point. They could be putting out absolute garbage, as long as it makes money (and more profit than your alternative of 'fun games'), that's all that matters.
Hugging Face is named after an emoji, the hugging face, a smiley face framed by two open hands.

Your explanation is far better and what I will now tell everyone who asks.

Finland, although I am fairly sure some other European countries have similar statements in their laws. Note though (for marcus_holmes above too) that the word liberal is a somewhat morbid translation; a direct translation would be free, but the word liberal fits better into the weird North American separation ("liberal arts" versus "university"), which we do not even have in Europe as they belong together.

In the past few months I have talked (separately) to three Chinese students who were doing PhDs in different countries. I asked each what their plans were for the future, and was struck by how determined all three were to not return to China. This is obviously a biased sample, since they already chose to do their PhD outside China, but conditions in China, such as 996 culture, definitely seem to be pushing some talented young people away.
Knowing people who've worked in Antarctica I'd challenge that statement. They wouldn't take their gear of for more than a few seconds.

You interpreted me mostly correctly. I had in mind more nesh networking than node/point (i.e. having root access to a single node, whether by purchase or by pipe wrench, doesn't infiltrate the network sufficiently to bring it down).

Many Polestar and Volvo EVs are made in China. BYD has also set up a EV bus manufacturing center in the US (so technically Chinese, even if assembled in America to get around tariffs).

Tesla definitely competes with Chinese EV companies in China as well as many non-American markets.
Why would topics he mentioned such as "freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and so on" need to be trampled to "protect" it's people/economy from "libertarianism". Which culture hates those things?
There’s a really neat book (fiction) that touches on this concept. It’s called Blindsight by Peter Watts.

What people fail to appreciate is the different value of work. If you do a week's work in 1900 and make one dohicky, you get paid 100 pieces of gold and spend 50 on bed and board and save the rest

Is it fair to think that your work in 1900 for making one dohicky should be able to buy you two week's bed and board in 2000, where a new worker can make 50 dohickys instead of your one.

Get rid of inflation and you are valuing work done in the past at least as much, and probably more, than work done today, and that's stealing from today.

You could pretty easily achieve this with:

SELECT [FROM <from-expr> COLUMNS] <column-expr>

"SELECT 1" would still be valid, and you'd still have the commands first, but you could also get the benefits of IDE autocomplete for columns by specifying the table before the columns.

A little wordier though.
The pinpoint accuracy of the landing is encouraging. As just one example of the implications, Japan could now have a mission whose purpose was to reach this probe and reposition it. The rescue mission could be vastly simplified because they could be extremely confident of landing within 100m without accidentally landing on the original probe.
The difference is that the news, because it's attempting to explain things that are happening now, doesn't have the luxuries of time or hindsight that contribute to the quality of other nonfiction. Campaign coverage is probably the best example of this: any good nonfiction author will recognize that there's no way to write a book about it until it's done, but journalists kinda fundamentally have to offer play-by-play commentary.

In lectures I thermostats as an example of an intelligent system that matches most attempts at defining intelligence. And I have no qualms saying they are intelligent. Intelligence is a very vague and very context dependent thing that can be at most used to compare some things in some scenarios.

BLM land is a million square kilometers. That's about ten times the size of the UK.

There is something to be said for the UK traipsing laws from time immemorial - because you can explore something other than a million square kilometers of mostly unused land.

I'm pretty old, and I've NEVER had issues finding a job. I've been unemployed for 6 months now. Thinking about getting out of software development TBH. It isn't that I'm a bad developer, I've almost always gotten good to great performance reviews, but nobody is hiring. The positions that do open up are swamped with tons of people. The culture also is pretty toxic, especially in the startup world, and with AI now entering the scene?

Then again, I don't know what I would pivot to. I thought about building a startup. However it is not a good time to be doing that either.
I'd argue that using GPG as the sharer of a secret has nearly the same level of complexity when using something like pgptool.org, assuming there is no need to _sign_ the data as well.
What will each party gain from the contract they signed? The first few sections left me with a lot of questions.

From what I can tell, based on the later sections:

> new experiences for Google Cloud customers to easily train and deploy Hugging Face models within Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and Vertex AI

I assume that means a new API field like `huggingface_model: "google/flan-t5-base"`?

> Models will be easily deployed for production on Google Cloud with Inference Endpoints

That seems to mean the GCP button which is currently disabled in the Inference "Create a new endpoint" page (https://ui.endpoints.huggingface.co) will now be enabled, which is the clearest part of the announcement.

I've had great support from Vercel, Google Fi (surprisingly), and Verizon. Also REI and Amazon, but they're retail. Steam/Valve too.

Of those, probably my Fi calls are my favorite. You get connected to a US support agent in a minute or so and they've solved my issues every time with no bullshit. I'm so surprised Google has any support at all, much less actually GOOD support.

Before Fi I used Verizon (which also had good support, just poor signal in my area). Then I briefly switched to AT&T Wireless, which is an absolute shitshow of a company that I'll never use again. Worse support than a fast food joint. Incompetent on every front. I switched to Fi after that and have been very happy.
That lower left arm is much too long in the AI generated rendering. Granted, it’s also a bit too long in the drawing, but the rendering makes it even longer.
Ask HN: Is it just me, or is software development crazy
It really sucks interviewing for developer jobs when your opinions are ahead of the curve.

I spent the better part of the past decade+ pushing for more microservice approaches. Breaking things much more apart than they had been. Embracing event driven approaches.

Now, computing power has caught up with the scale that most systems actually need. It's no longer necessary to scale an app to hundreds of servers. We have servers that can run hundreds of simultaneous threads. We have languages like rust that give incredible performance with a low overhead.

It's time to take a half a step back and think about the complexity we are creating and the cost those systems will be to maintain a decade down the line.

Make things that are easier to reason with. Code that is easy to reason with and replace is the code that will run for decades.

I'd it just me, or is anyone else struggling to advocate for balance? Is it just me, as I'm in the middle of a job search as everything is shifting where I feel like I've progressed past?
Subsidies like this need firm claw-back provisions.
We rented a townhouse for several years before buying our place. If one had gone up for sale while we were looking we would have stayed in that community. It was perfect for us, small community/neighborhood, and the house was just the right size. A two car garage would have been nice but we made it work.

We ended up in a house on the smaller end of what was available and we still think its probably too big for us (great neighborhood though).
Didn't Adobe Stock essentially opt everyone in the library in before springing it on them?
Ask HN: Can AI break a speech audio file into individual words?
I’m wondering, is there a way for me to feed an audio file of someone talking, and the output to be multiple little audio files of each word.

To be specific I mean cutting up the original input file on word boundaries. One audio file per word.

I’m curious to know if given a large enough input set if you could create a sort of dictionary of words each with one or more tiny audio files representing words spoken by a given person.

Bonus points if it could do the same fir sentences.

Does such a thing exist?

The next step being using the database of words and sentences to reproduce someone’s speech using audio of their actual words.

I’m aware that there is AI voice cloning but that’s not what I’m asking about.

This is a classic Zimbabwe-style money printing disaster. The other cause of inflation - devaluation against the dollar caused by weak trade - doesn't help, but the government money printing is really making it worse.

> So in short: I cannot understand what is the actual substance of subjective experience.

This problem just goes away if you assume that there is no dividing line between the "experience" of you and the "experience" of any other computational system. Actually try to think, what does a computer "experience"? An atom? What does it feel like to be a standing desk?
This is a great comment. Part of what is missing for most people is utility. Without utility, it is easy to go off on the cultish aspects of it as a replacement. What convinced me was actually being able to use my pet rocks, to do something valuable for myself.

My sister owns an etsy shop that sells customized items.

They have a graphic designer who's in photoshop all day doing the same repetitive task for each item that's ordered.

This is the first category of jobs to be killed off. It can't already be killed off because it requires some human judgement (at least right now) to make sure photographs on a custom ornament are centered and cropped in a visually appealing way.

I can see AI killing off that kind of low skill graphic design with very limited judgement calls (or creativity) needed.

> get acquired by some of the larger players who do have the actual AI tech in-house. And, for them, it would be worth it for the brand/market/existing client base.

The key is, if the incumbents truly feel they can't breach whatever moat, M&A is the safer bet over agonizing what if (I am thinking "git wrapper" startups that saw plenty competition from BigTech; remember Microsoft CodePlex, Google Code, AWS CodeCommit?). Given Meta's push and other prolific upstarts (OpenAI, Mistral), I don't believe access to SoTA AI itself (in the short term) will be an hindrance for product-based utility AI businesses (aka wrappers).

Reall inflation is much higher than 65%. A lunch takes 250 TL which we used to 100-120 TL almost 1 year ago.
Communist imagery isn't commonly associated with genocide in the US nor is it actively being used to promote genocide in the US, so this makes sense.
Capacity expansion and production cost modeling are real and important modeling exercises. Immediately dismissing those efforts doesn't seem necessary - they can be done in parallel with work focused on things like inertia, e.g., see https://sites.google.com/view/unifi-consortium/home, https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy20osti/73856.pdf.

Surprised to see no reference to the "I forced a bot to watch 1000 hours of X" guy. It's a similar bit, although at least now it's a little plausible. But now that AI is pretty good at text generation, you can't hide behind absurdist humor anymore.

This is a very cool invention that could have many applications. It reminds me of the origami-inspired robots that can fold and unfold themselves to perform different tasks.

I've heard that publishers don't give authors much say in cover art. Maybe someone at the publishing company looked up "Sultan art high res" and found this.
While the contribution to Python Cryptography is incredibly awesome, I'd suggest that perhaps the lede is slightly buried. Having a large suite of well documented test vectors, including both positive and negative examples, raises the bar for the entire ecosystem. Go and OpenSSL are mentioned, but any other environment implementing X.509 now has another very well developed test suite that can be plugged in directly.

While I'm a huge fan of formal methods for developing secure code, IMHO well developed suites such as x509-limbo[1] with common, good, problematic, and outright sadistically wrong vectors are the way forward for developing robust cross platform protocols. These are the kinds of unit tests a spec should come with.

Anyway, cells can hold (super) primitive models of the world and maintain internal balance in the face of anticipated events.

I've occasionally run into science podcasts, going back almost a decade, where some researcher talks about the computational power of cell membranes, and how the synapses evolved from these mechanisms. Amoebas and paramecia navigate their environments, sense, and react through their cell membranes. Apparently, synapses evolved from these mechanisms.

The upshot of this for AI, is that the neural network model may be drastically incomplete, with far more computation actually happening inside actual individual neurons.
Ethernet includes address and source identifiers so that multiple sources and destinations can be used on the same wire. As the sibling comment mentioned, hubs (not switches) simply broadcasted every frame to every connection, and the NICs at each end would have to determine if they were the intended destination. Some of them didn't even require power because they were essentially joining the wires together. Switches require power because they learn which destination the ports respond to and can route more efficiently based on that knowledge.

I wouldn't tolerate cruelty from my own people either. That's the whole point of a democracy. It holds rulers accountable for their actions. (to some extent.)

Also, as Mahatma Gandhi pointed out, we should distinguish between British rule of India, and the British people themselves. Indians and India have no problem with the latter, only with the former. Once British rule ended, we have no enmity with Britain. We parted as friends. Indeed Lord Mountbatten is still revered as the first governor general of Independent India. (Apt considering tomorrow is Republic Day.)
I buy into this theory, and the other one about consciousness being a step or two behind and fabricating some cohesive explanation for why you did what you did.

If you are unfortunate enough to experience some human body failure modes you can get a glimpse into this process. The cohesive "veil" breaks down and you realize there's more "you" than that voice in your head. The distributed nature of the brain/body peeks through.

I'm aware of Candy Crush being a money printer but we're talking about Activision-Blizzard. CoD is important not only because it sells a lot of copies (and, more importantly, cosmetics in-game) but it's one of those titles that's key to selling more consoles. There's a synergy between CoD and Xbox.
It blows my mind that people aren't hiring like mad with high interest rates. It seems like just parking a bunch of money somewhere and letting it accumulate interest would pay for salaries. Shoot, for 10 million dollars you could pay the entire salary of 2 developers without touching a dime of the actual money.

Of course I know the economy doesn't work that way, but it is fun to think about.
The donors are also customers.
