I don't really share the GP's opinion that this ought to be in the article, but his description is nonetheless unfortunately accurate: the rise of Hindu supremacism is indeed very concerning, and saying that “India coexists and celebrates harmony with all faiths within its borders” is oblivious at best.

You can find descriptions of the things GP said in pretty much any reputable foreign newspaper with international coverage. See for instance the Guardian about the hindu temple being built on too of the ruins of a destroyed mosque: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/22/modi-inaugurat...

Well said, and not to mention the importance of common knowledge as a driving impetus for enacting a change. "Everyone knows Hollywood is full of abuse" was true for decades but when the Weinstein allegations finally came out into the open, some (if not enough) action finally started happening against it. Saying the obvious thing loudly and openly is a coordinating mechanism.
How does this fine-tuning work? I can see that you are loading a train.jsonl file and the some instructions but is the output model generated or this is some kind of a new way of training the models?
Those from Pichai are some global "goals" not "OKRs".

Also, that's if you have some quality improvement you can use some metric. For launching new products you just have: launch new product, and then next year you can claim user growth, features adaptations, track engagement metrics, and this works for specific surface.

For multiple complicated surfaces you likely can't come with single integrated metric. I even don't know how they could measure precision/recall for search, there are likely so many slices/skews/verticals/corner cases.

Wikipedia says that there are currently 488 people on death rows in independent
India. Meanwhile, the UK hasn't had death rows for 60 years by now, because death penalty was de facto abolished in the 1960s.

If you are an opponent of the death penalty, I cannot see how the current situation is better, much less why gods should be thanked for that difference.

If the only thing that matters to you is that it is a native hand that wraps a rope around the condemned's neck, well, in that case I understand where you are coming from, though I don't agree with that.

Here in former Czechoslovakia, the death penalty was applied both by occupation powers and our own authorities. Same bad shit, I am glad that it is over, hopefully forever.
This is a pretty useless poll when trying to compare MacOS, Windows and Linux usage, because they split Linux up into different distributions. Because adding all numbers up, you get >100%, I suppose multiple-choice were allowed, which doesn't even allow adding all Linux-like operating systems together.

So not really a good Argument that MacOS is used more...

Top down government planning is the only thing that has consistently worked in high technology sectors, especially things like semiconductors or spaceflight.

Watch some Asianometry. The guy explains how Japan's semiconductor industry was built on high-level planning and industry/academia collaboration with long-term planning and workshare division rather than competition between companies, to develop the necessary technologies for semiconductor manufacture. Same thing happened in the US.

R&D heavy industries cannot be bootstrapped without deep government pockets and expert oversight, and a risk tolerance that cannot be justified on balance sheets.

Are there any companies that share with the employees enough information to run this simulator?

My standard experience has been

-"This offer includes X,000 share/option units"

-"great, how much is that worth in dollars?"

-"well, we can't tell you, but there are Y00,000 shares in total, and the last investor paid $Z million for W% of the company".

"OK, that's very useful. If I assume my shares are as good as the investor's shares, I can estimate my shares' market value. Did the investor get anything else of economic value for his investment? A liquidation preference? Right to invest in future rounds? A board seat? Sweetheart deals with his favourite companies? "

- "Let me check that with Finance"... ... ... "I'm sorry but I can't tell you that"

- "OK, I understand that's confidential. Can I at least get the same deal as him? I'll trust you to give me my extra benefits when they accrue, and I waive the board seat and the backhand deals"

- "Absolutely not."

- "Well then, it's very hard for me to put a value on these shares/ options. Even though I'm willing to take some level of risk in my compensation, and value these close to market value, you won't give me enough information to let me value them at anything other than $0"

This looks very good. The idea of using a subnet-mask style to compute the prefix of a node is pretty novel. I haven't seen anything like it. The choice of span factor of 16 is a good compromise between node size and tree depth. The node slot packing is amazing. Actually if you relax the restriction on 64-byte node to 128-byte node, you can get 64 bits per slot and will get a much higher limit for the item count. Newer CPU's are starting to support 128-byte cache line.
I know, that I get triggered too easily ...
Thanks for the info on tree kale, I didn't know about it but it looks amazing :)

This behavior is a result of the additional directives, not of the training. None of the "free" LLMs display these characteristics and jailbreaking ChatGPT would quickly revert it to it's natural state of random nothing-is-sacred posts from the internet.

Example: ask ChatGPT any kind of innocent medical question, like if aspirin will speed up healing from a cold, and tell it NOT to begin it's answer by stating "I am not a medical expert" or you will kick a puppy. This works for most models, but not ChatGPT. It WILL make you kick the puppy.

I understand why they have to do things like this, but I'd really prefer the option to waive all rights to being insulted or poorly advised and just get the (mostly) raw output myself, because it does downgrade the experience quite a bit.

Fortunately we have Mixtral now.

> VectorDBBench is an open-source benchmark that is pretty vendor-neutral

No this is not vendor neutral unless you can prove that zillz included all tests that would expose its weakness.

> If you've used it or checked its leaderboard

see, you called it "leaderbord", it is a good proof that it is not vendor neutral. By using such highly biased tool, its hosting url has both the name of your company and the term "leader", it implies that the company is a leader when compared to other "vector" databases. tell me how such dirty trick is called vendor neutral?

please, HN is a place full of professional developers, many of those including myself have been in the business long enough to tell what is cheap propaganda and what is real cool tech.

> Actually, there is no "universally best" vector database for any situation.

because whether there should be a product category called "vector database" is in doubt in the first place. as explain, it is a low tech stuff significantly easier to design & implement than today's regular databases (e.g. cockroachdb). its role will eventually be filled by other real databases.

That doesn't make sense. Lungs are nothing like the digestive system.
It can already kind-of do a REPL, so it'd be about making sure access to that functionality was robust, and then it's a matter of removing packages from the system until it's as small as you'd like. Assuming a subtractive approach, of course. There are other interesting subtractive approaches like Craig Latta's "Context" (nee Spoon) http://www.netjam.org/spoon/ which does something a bit like a page cache, marking used methods, classes, etc and eventually garbage-collecting those not used. In Craig's system, there's an upstream over the network from which missing classes/methods/etc can be faulted in, so this isn't as scary as it sounds. Then there are the additive approaches, which I've kind of lost track of, but there are several on the go, for compiling a fresh image from scratch from sources.

> And it’s not just AI companies and this isn’t new. This is art of human nature and will always be.

Blaming "human nature" is an excuse that is popular among egomaniacs, but on even brief inspection it is transparently thin: Human nature includes plenty of non-profits and people who did great things for humanity for little or no gain (scientists, soldiers, public servants, even some sofware developers). It also includes people who have done horrible things.

Human nature really is that we have a choice. It's both a very old and fundamental part of human nature:

And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your
eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing
good and evil.

And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and
that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be
desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof,
and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her;
and he did eat.

And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that
they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and
made themselves aprons.

That's the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, of course (Genesis 3). We know good and evil, we make our own choices; no blaming God or some outside force. If you do evil, it was your choice.
It's one of the best places I've been in London last year, definitely recommend!
No, I am just putting into question this seemingly undeniable claim that someone who happen to have been an engineer in their career would somehow end up being a more engineer focused CEO.
This naively would make sense, but does it actually have any factual weight ?
There is so many counter argument to this. Becoming a CEO, from an engineering start, usually involve spending a lot of your career in higher management. At this point, why would you be more sensible to the engineer issues, than the higher management/board/owner ?
Climbing the ladder also require at some point to satisfy the requirement of non-engineer, shifting you own goal if what you aim is to be at the top of the ladder.
Having an engineer past doesn't guarantee at all that you will listen to engineer more once you have climb the ladder.

People just want to continue to create this weird tension between engineer and business people, both trying to act as if they are much better than the other at handling a company, when in actuality, it is the collaboration of both which is successful, and some of the best company manage to harness exactly this.
Same here, but they are not seen as as example of organized religion at all. More as an example of how religion could be, if the established organizations did not exist.

Perhaps it's a particularly lucky situation here in Germany with its almost perfect 50:50 split of Christians between Catholics and Lutherans, which makes neither a fringe group. Fringe groups all too often end up being a little (sometimes a lot) self-radicalizing.

It's an interesting observation for sure, regarding differences in attitude to religion.
GHC Steering Committee Retrospective
Only 90s Web Developers Remember This (2014)
The question I think was more about why the dig against Orwell for a word which was presumably not considered offensive at the time.
I've written a lot of high performance/scale C++ code using a lot of data structures over the years, and ordered iteration has been very rarely needed; unordered data structures still rule the day in performance the vast majority of the time, and their lower constant factors very frequently outperform more specialized data structures. They're absolutely worth benchmarking against if the goal is actual uptake in the actual world.

In my experience, practically every single time I've used absl::btree_map, I've ended up reverting for performance reasons to either a flat hash map or, in some relatively rare cases, a sorted vector map (despite its O(n) insert/erase) because the constant factors are _so doggone low_. The experience remains: btree_map (or SkipLists, or whatever) has (in my experience) essentially never, in over a half million lines of C++, actually remained in the code.

Also, I presume (based on the implementation details, not based on actual use) that roaring bitmaps have some reasonable iteration API that would make them relevant even to the ordered comparison.

The important thing here is that if anyone wants to contend that someone should use their new data structure because it's better or faster or more optimal for some particular use case, it's important for them to demonstrate that they've thoroughly investigated the data structure space around their proposal. Comparison against std::map and std::unordered_map simply doesn't demonstrate the kind of comprehensive knowledge that I would expect from someone who claims that I should use their optimized integer map in my own code.

They quite literally are not. Autoimmune diseases are, by definition, when the immune system targets the body. Allergies are when your body flags things that are not your body.

Obviously they aren't as new, but they still work very well.

Jumping spiders are quite common here in Singapore, and occasionally one will wander across my monitor while I'm working. If I move the mouse cursor in a circle around it, it will turn and follow the cursor. Amazing little things. Generally, I have an irrational fear of spiders, but for some reason these little guys get a pass from me. They're fascinating.
Writing the code is only part of the equation though - especially if you are not very fluent in SQL. I imagine it gets annoying quite quickly if you need to ask ChatGPT what different fragments of SQL do 6 months after you have generated them.

Show HN: We built an AI Website builder with better output
Hey HN,

After GPT-3 created waves in the tech industry, a lot of AI tools were emerging and with that, some AI website builders

But the results seemed way too generic to us. It felt like the developers were rushing to catch the wave instead of building a proper tool

We took our time, did months of RnD and finally came up with something better than what others in the market are doing. It’s got better design output.

While it’s still in beta, I wanted to show HN what we did.

Will appreciate the feedback when you guys try it out. Here is the link to signup for the beta: https://tally.so/r/3xJpgJ
