What company doing VLSI, with more than say 500 employees, doesn't have some kind of presence in Israel? That's got to be a short list.
I gave up on RavenDB when Oren would post blog entries regarding interviews with candidates, bashing how they would fail his coding exams.

I mean who posts that kinda stuff on their public website?
Actually the definition of UB is not "compilers can assume UB does not exist" but indeed "the language spec can't guarantee anything". We clarified this in the C23 spec. (although a limited form of "compilers can assume UB does not exist" can be derived from "the spec can't guarantee anything")
I saved this for reading later.
What if you want to buy the best ship? Not necessarily the cheapest, but the safest/biggest/most efficient? But you're forced by this law to only buy from one or two companies - they have little reason to compete on those elements.

It makes you wonder if it has actually had the opposite to desired effect and made the ship industry worse in the US. The top 5 shop building countries are South Korea, China, Japan, Italy and Germany. This looks like a game for wealthy nations. Other than China I would expect those places to be paying workers very well.
The enemy is ALWAYS occupying any territory that they are on. It isnt like they are on vaccation. So with that logic it couldnt be used for any defence purposes that kills the invaders.
Yup, plenty of reasons to run your own model.

I'm not using GPT-4 for chat, but for what I'd class as "reasoning" applications. It seems best by a long shot. As for safety, I find with the api and the system prompt that there is nothing it won't answer for me. That being said... I'm not asking for anything weird. GPT-4 turbo does seem to be reluctant sometimes.
What is quality like compared to GPT4?
That has nothing to do with whether it's open source or not.

Software wasn't for sure copyrightable before 1976 in the US, but there was plenty of closed source code that simply only ever distributed the binaries.
More necessary than the sneer quotes you applied to the "journalist", yes. If I say dumb stuff when drunk and then muff the initial apology (when presumably sober) I wouldn't expect people to sugar coat it either.

Garry clearly isn't too stupid or desperate for clicks to do any better, and so I'm afraid I'm going to have to continue to disagree that we should save our ridicule for his critics.
> For example, "killer apps/content" never arrived for 3D TVs and they have largely disappeared from the market.

I'm still full of myself for postponing getting a 3D TV enough times that the technology died.

... but I have a PS Move gathering dust somewhere. Which I even preordered.
There's also a problem with your line of thinking: you are not a child. You do not have the neuroplasticity they do. Their brains are learning in ways that we simply cannot any longer; it' a real apples:oranges situation.
I found fish + fire = sushi amusing - it isn't necessarily wrong, but it also doesn't feel right either...
A quick search shows current prices are ~80 $/kg for Tellurium, ~10 $/kg for Antimony, and ~1,300 $/kg for Germanium. Unless pure ingots are not the preferred mode of delivery, the relative scarcity of metals in the entire Earth crust seems to have limited correlation to human accessibility or cost.
The company can also be bought out and not really "die" but suffer from too much success. Fitbit was bought by Google and now they own all your health data when you didn't consent to that at all.

And people say yeah the EULA said they could sell your data but that's justification for this bad situation.
I'm sure it's just your regular, everyday bid for eyeballs and clicks.

I sometimes wonder if they hit a limit the government was comfortable with and their more advanced technologies are only available to the gov. I assume that's your implication.
dude... the concern is /existential/ though, right?!

to summarize, i'm not advocating for this, i'm just emphasizing there's a nifty little framework already in place.
If I had to pick a favorite, it'd be all of them. I only wish I had a thagomizer for the routine problems of work and day-to-day living.
Previously, wverytine competition managed to out engineer intel, they crushed them either by having spare process advantage they could use to brute force performance... Or lock competition out of markets by blocking large swathes of them through illegal deals.

Note: This applies only to traditional "harvest" surgery and not the new aphereisis method used today.

The surgery itself wasn't great but I was at 80% after a month and 100% after three. No long term effects.

Here's the thing: at every point in the process, interviews, blood tests, health checks, etc, at every point the entire process is explained very carefully and you are told at every point that it is voluntary and you can back out right up the the minute of surgery.

Except. The recipient has their marrow irradiated and killed a week before you show up to donate. So you better make that appointment. Of course all voluntary. It was a real mindfuck of a whipsaw of emotions going in, and then months of zero information after.

It's hard to explain the feeling of holding another anonymous kid's life in your hands. I'd cry for a week every year around that time, and then the survey phone call.

The story worked out for us. I got to meet him a couple years later and was just invited to his wedding.
The costs to AWS are having to upgrade all their routers and any other equipment that handles IP (including the management cards in each physical host).

Ask HN: Are you seeing AI used in places where it shouldn't be?
It's no surprise, really, but I'm starting to see companies sticking AI into places where it just doesn't make any sense. I'm not talking about the use of AI all over marketing materials. That's a given.

I'm talking about things like my CEO wanting me to build an AI sales assistant when a simple web form would actually be faster to develop and use.

What are you seeing?
That's certainly an answer.

And I really agree that the crux is "big enough" -- at some point, a phase change happens and regulation for social good needs to change too ('too big to be free'?).

We could pro/con public vs private-but-regulated management, but that's a dead horse and they're both valid options.
I don't think so, they're earlier release they called "open source" but never released anything other than the binary.

Right, that's exactly the kind of environment variable we don't want you to be able to easily retrieve.

Interestingly, there's a big intersection with Macaroons here. We're replacing Vault (for customer secrets, not for TLS keys or infra secrets) with an internal, Macaroon-integrated secret store called Pet Semetary, and one of the use cases for it is to come up with a high-assurance way to give customers straightforward access to secrets without having to reverse engineer them from their machines.

At any rate: this is all a consequence of our security model. A vulnerability in our Rails API server (which is not, like, beyond the frontiers of possibility) would give you enough access to jumble up everyone's secrets, but not to read them. We're happy to take our lumps for how annoying that makes our DX sometimes. :)
I'm going to repeat a comment I made a few weeks ago:

George Dyson has what I found to be an enlightening metaphor for how our relationship with information has changed. It is repeated here: https://edu.blogs.com/edublogs/2010/01/george-dyson-media-li...
I've read somewhere about the case that took over a year, but can't find the link. Following citations on[0], this paper[1] says:

"The incubation period is typically 1–3 months, but can vary from a few days to more than 1 year [1,4]. Cases of up to 6 years incubation period have been discussed[5]."

And this is specifically in humans, not in animals in general.

There is no test that I know of, but vaccine is very effective even after you got it (but before actual symptoms show up), so if you suspect you're infected, you go and get the shots. Thing is, AFAIK those are quite painful, so it's not something you want to take as prophylaptic unless you're at high risk (e.g. working as a vet).

All this adds up to what I wrote earlier: you get random bat or squirrel bite, tiny enough that you forget about it in moments, and a few months later, you suddenly die.

...isn't that pretty much what I said?

The origin of nautical miles is from 16th century sailors.

And 21st century aviation doesn't need anything more accurate than WGS84. The people who need custom geoid models and local coordinate systems are surveyors.
The person is talking about a css trick. You could avoid the "save as" coming up if you made the image the css background url to an empty square.

However, Firefox was smart enough to not be tricked by that.

That's the right move if you side with the consumer and the wrong if you side with the producer. Google is fundamentally highly elitist and that's a pretty easy framework to use if you want to guess their actions.
Given how they've struggled to even make even GPT 4 economical it's highly unlikely that larger models would be in any way cost effective for wide use.

And there's certainly more to be found in training longer on better datasets and adjusting the architecture.
What has "say" in this case is the law. That's why they had a court case. That's how it works.

Arguing that wealth puts you above the rule of law is what's stupid.
What's really offensive about this is that AWS does not have good enough IPv6 support for most customers to migrate off of IPv4, even if they want to.

ALB uses 2-4 IPv4 addresses. It supports dualstack, but not IPv6-only.

CloudFront does not support IPv6 origins.

All APIs except for a handful are IPv4-only, so you either need a VPC endpoint (priced per month per AZ per API) or an IPv4 address to communicate with them.

It frustrates me that I'll be paying for a bunch of IPv4 addresses that I don't need for any business reason, I only have them because they're necessary within the AWS ecosystem.
Cool, I guess so does the postal service and the highway system, and basically any system anyone uses while committing a crime. This narrative is such BS.
ICE cars are becoming more software reliant too.

I have been wondering whether EVs will get more of a bad name from their coming along at the same time as cars in general are enshittified than from any problems that are directly related to being electic.
Storj is also leveraging macaroons. Great write-up on decentralized access control here: https://medium.com/@kleffew/what-is-capability-based-securit...
That's awesome. I have no doubt you would use common sense and make the addresses in this new system simple, recognizable, and just an extended version of what everybody is already used to, like 111.222.33.44.55.66
Thanks for bringing this solution up. Many people are unaware of Zero-Knowledge proofs are actually possible. Probably because it's very counter intuitive.
What's controlling the company here is the law. Do you think Tesla or Musk are above the rule of law?
It is there. But it's just a detail many will breeze over and then their intuition fails them.

The way you can know this is: ask people the same question with "binomial" instead of "uniform" and see if you get a different answer. My guess is people will say the same regardless.
Fair point! It depends on which binary operation you use for your monoid.
I just finished reading the comments instead.
My understanding is, ideally your clinical trial manages to capture or balance out the different potential factors in genetic variation.

An example of this is when they tested the covid vaccine, they wanted to make sure they had enough participation from African American and other ethnicities since these were usually under represented in clinical trials relative to the population, and there are sometimes subtle variations in the way peoples body respond to drugs depending on their race.
The article had only minor updates in 2023. It looks like the last major update was in either 2016 or 2013, depending on how you want to count it; one of these would probably be more appropriate for the date tag.

The concept dates back to at least 2009, when the page was created with an import of pre-existing documentation.
Copyright is not the only kind of Intellectual Property. While they may not be copyrightable (I think you may be refering to jugement related to having an AI as author?), they clearly are MistralAI IP.

In the same way, data in a database are usually not copyrightable. They are still the company's property (excluding issues with PII and such).
Gaming is not bigger than Windows. Windows is an OS (only) for gaming, so it is part of Microsofts gaming ecosystem.
What I would tell my younger self: above all, make good decisions: based on facts and solid reasoning grounded in a range of models of how the world is, paying particular attention to the magnitude of forces: respecting and using forces beyond your control, but always aiming to change the world around you to make you --us-- better.

Not deciding based on feelings or opinions or votes, or on chasing opportunities or shirking danger, etc. Practice daily in small decisions, and the big ones will come more easily.
Tbh not sure why the protocol couldn't be upgraded so that xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx and xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx are all accepted. Seems a monumentally shite oversight to not be like that. I mean it's a freaking telephone book address system. Astounding they baked it in just xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and didn't upgrade the protocol at all in the last 20 years (is this just entirely due to profit/asset protecting?).

Response was to make a wholly new protocol when they could have just updated the standard and forced suppliers to patch updates?

USB backwards compatability that shiz. The fact I can take a modern usb device and plug it in a 1.1 gen port and it still just works. Why the hell isn't ipv4 like that for upgrades?

Seriously is there any real technical hurdle why we didn't do it this way?
They already own those IPs and there is no ongoing fee to keep owning them. So everything they make is profit since they costs have already been accounted for.

Like if you already owned a piece of land and let people rent houses on the land, and now you're charging them extra rent per square foot of land. You already own the land, so it's pure profit, because before you were including the cost of land in the houses. But of course the metaphor breaks down because at AWS you can move to IPv6 to avoid the cost, but you can't move the house off the land.
Yes iOS and macOS
> It takes a few seconds to document what a domain is used for / what department is using it.

Sure, and then you have a piece of documentation that says the domain is being used by "IT" for "account services" and the person reading this thinks it's the web server administrators using it for customer accounts and they say they're not using it.

> As well, at that scale you're likely using an enterprise domain registrar, so there is absolutely zero possibility of a domain expiring.

The company where the domain expires for non-payment and the company with 5000 domains don't have to be the same company, or the same division of the same company.

> Many other industries with zero tolerance for failure are able to successfully implement multi-layered approaches for anticipating and eliminating issues. Yet, IT finds excuses to explain why a $10 domain can't be reliably renewed. That's wild. That's embarrassing.

The traditional approach to this is to operate with redundancy. Domain registrations are a single point of failure consequent of having a single global hierarchical namespace. One way to mitigate this is to relax the global uniqueness requirement in instances where it isn't necessary, like internal use domains, so you can't "lose" the domain since nobody has exclusive control over it. To do that you'd need to carve out a piece of the hierarchy for that use so it doesn't conflict with other names that have to be globally unique. Which is the current proposal.

This is extremely weird because today I was reading about how the US military is upping its logistics power in asia to counter China invading Taiwan.

And the phrase they used was a shift from “just in time” logistics to “just in case” logistics.

So this is the first time I’m seeing this phrase and now this article uses it again.

Read “infomania” as insomnia and skimmed the whole damn thing (or 80% if it) before figuring out this didn’t have the cure for insomnia (unless it’s caused by infomania, which is plausible).

Small detail, there's a picture of macarons and not macaroons.

A macaron is a sandwich-like cookie that's filled with jam, ganache, or buttercream. A macaroon is a drop cookie made using shredded coconut.
It's interesting to consider that being 'well read' may always be a function of, say, the last 10 books you read (or the number of books your read in the last 3 years, or something like that).

Show HN: Sreeducation – Cloud Learning Experience in 3D
Hi, I am someone without a technical background who now works as a software engineer. I got pretty much all my knowledge from YouTube and online courses.

I was always puzzled why most online learning is still delivered with texts and videos. I personally think this can become boring pretty quickly.

That's why I developed a course about how the cloud works, where the visitor can interact with 3D models and animate concepts. Feedback is most welcome. :)

Please note that as of now you can't use the website on your phone or small devices. It will require more dev work to make the 3d animations work properly on small devices.
> If a duff chord is played out of hours in a full morgue where no living person can hear it, is it still dissonant?

Obviously, since we can't prove the morgue isn't consciously listening to it... :p

We can't prove that Napster or a counterfeit CD isn't conscious to everyone's satisfaction either, but fortunately for copyright-holders, that isn't actually how the burden of proof on a "it's just like humans learning how to perform" defence works. Legal systems deny that things that probably are conscious are human-equivalent all the time anyway, that's why you can eat or sell a cow but you can't sue it or assign copyright to it.

But even if the burden of proof was reversed, an argument that an NN consisting of static values stored on disk that outputs a discrete and (similarly) static sound file on demand before returning to being static without even a state update isn't the same thing as a human mind/body constituting long-running chemical processes performing music in continuous time seems.... pretty sound.
LoRA of war.

The important counterweight to this phenomenon is the brain's adaptability to noise. Some ML researchers like to think that noise is not predictable because this follows from the classic CS definition of noise. However in reality the brain quickly adapts to any noisy sensory input, it begins to predict higher level characteristics of the noisy input and no longer reacts with surprise or interest.

This happens at all levels of sensory processing, from single cell firing (which is noisy) to the boredom you feel with a 100 channels of TV that are all technically novel to you but contain nothing remotely interesting.

Basically if you've built an agent that can be perpetually distracted by noise or a "noisy" TV then you've forgotten an important piece of the puzzle.

I think from a games industry POV it's worse than 2008 right now.

Beyond the raw numbers of layoffs, there's clearly a great number of other companies currently have hiring freezes on.

There's simply little to no job postings on right now. Of course it's the worst time of year for listings, and things usually improve in Spring, but it's hard to be optimistic.
I know, it's really disappointing. They've only completely changed the world like 3 times last year.

This right here was the biggest mistake for IPv6. Adoption would have been so much easier if IP6s were just "extra numbers" tacked onto the end so that if an old router saw it, it would ignore the extra bits and send it to the "IPv4" part of the address.
Thanks all for letting me know it's not just me.
