I think kagi sidekick would be very well received in the bioinformatics space. Lots of complex docs that require end users to digest large complex data.

Oh, I'm not a complete neophyte (in what seems like a different life now, I worked for a big hosting provider actually), I was just surprised that there was a big penalty for cross-VPC traffic implied by the parent poster.

> ... but then Signal wouldn't have your phone number either. What they need it for is ... dubious if you ask me.

The reasons they need it aren't really that dubious to me: they want to create a service that actual people will actually use, not just weird privacy geeks who never gave up on PGP. Using phone numbers allows for the kind of user discovery that most people expect in 2024, and requiring them inserts a barrier to mass account creation that can keep spam accounts down to a manageable level (especially given the whole point is they can't do content-based spam-filtering in the way that makes email managable).

Personally, my understanding is they've always been trying to develop the maximally private usable chat app, which requires some compromises from the theoretically maximally private chat app.
At risk of picking nits: they don't put up a million chairs. I attended the 2012 inauguration and we all stood on the grass in the National Mall.

(I agree with your overall point though. There were speaker towers arranged at intervals down the mall and plenty of crowd control involved in getting people to and from the event in the first place, none of which had to have been cheap.)
i've been using Telegram on and off since 2015 or so, and i've never shared my contacts. never! re-installing Telegram has never changed that setting.

The real problem with cellphones is that a lot of privacy-threatening issues are literally one fat finger away. And clearly, that's a feature, not a bug. That's why I prefer to work and message on my laptop anyway.

but again, Telegram has been, in many practical ways, much more privacy-oriented than all the other messengers, exactly because you don't have to share your phone number to participate in groups and chats.

WebKit development is Apple oriented leading to several incompatibilities with other major browsers. Reasoning is usually either WebKit works according to standards, or that bug is accepted but it is basically abandoned. Possibly strategically, to keep Apple controlling some niche use cases. Ingenious but nasty strategy indeed.

I would also like how it compares to any of the commercial offerings from Azure/AWS/GCP. They all have document parsing tools that I have found better than tools like unstructured. Sure you don't have some of the "magic" of segmenting text for vectorization and RAG but imo thats the easy part. The hard part is pulling data, forms, tables, text out of the PDF which I find the cloud tools to do a superior job.
Ask HN: VC Background Check
There’s lots of VCs out there - some great, some shady. It’d be nice if we had a public record of their behavior, particularly to identify a pattern of bad behaviors such as phishing or predatory tactics. Maybe this posting can act as that record.
I didn't mean to say there are no reasons to have separate repos, just more responding to the post above mine.

But I will note that almost all the benefits listed aren't specific to micro services.

(Also, to me, it's flawed that a dependency can really push to production without coordination. At the least, dependent components should decide when to "take" a new version. There are lot of ways to manage that -- versioned endpoints, e.g., so that dependents can take the new when they are ready. But it's extra complexity that's tricky in practice. e.g., you really ought to semver the endpoints, and keep versions as long as there could be any dependents... but how many is that, and how do you know? From what I've seen, people don't do that and instead dependencies push new versions, ready or not, and just deal with the problems as breakages in production, which is pretty terrible.)

Where you using cloud scale style purchasing in house or were you on enterprise servers with enterprise switches with enterprise storage?

The cloud is good for many users, especially if they migrate to cloud native system design, but as a telco you would probably have facilities and connectivity which helps out a lot.

Companies like Mirantis, choosing a technology completely inappropriate for distributed systems (puppet) put a bad taste in the mouths of many people.

I implemented OpenStack at one previous employer to just convince them that they could run VMs, intending it to allow for a cloud migration in the future.

As they ran a lot of long lived large instances it was trivial to make it cheaper to run in our own datacenter. Well until I moved roles and the IT team tried to implement it with expensive enterprise gear and in an attempt to save money used FEXs despite the fact I had documented they wouldn't work for our traffic patterns.

Same thing during the .com crash. I remember our cage was next to one of the old Hotmail cages with their motherboards on boards. We were installing dozens and dozens of Netras and Yahoo was down the hall with a cage full of DEC gear...we went under because we couldn't right-size(cost) our costs.

A lot of the companies who save a lot in cloud migrations were the same, having decked out enterprise servers, SANs, and network gear that was wasted in a private cloud context.

Enterprise _ is often a euphemism for we are fiercely defending very expensive CYA strategy irrespective of value to the company or material risk.
You can run Signal app forks on the Signal server. Molly is a popular one. You just can't create new servers. I wish you could, but I get the reasoning of not wanting honeypots. But that doesn't stop you from running your own network of Signal servers. So I don't see anything stopping anyone. I mean Mullvad runs their own stuff and I don't see half the complaints about them. I've always been curious why Signal is so unique here. If 1/100th the people that made these concerns developed a open community of signal servers, I'm sure we'd have a viable alternative network. What's stopping everyone?

I'm on OP's side - even if I knew I'd be paying to run some queries against this dataset, I never would have thought it could reach 5 figures in such a short time.

If it's being used as a "savings account", there really isn't a meaningful difference, although it can be superior because a hardware wallet is more likely to be targeted for an exploit than some rando thumb drive that no one knows the location of or knows exists. This goes against everything that r/bitcoin would say, but lots of those users are similar to those infosec guys who consider all electronics "unacceptably compromised" while completely ignoring the actual risk level in reality and accepting certain tradeoffs.

A hardware wallet can make sense for "checking" purposes, but if you're only moving around small amounts of money occasionally, then you have to ask yourself whether one is worth using over a wallet app on your phone when the latter is more convenient.

Conservative legal minds will argue that the laundry list of topics covered under 102.A includes a duty to censor, e.g., “information on transitioning”. They already believe any and all forms of transition (including calling a child by a nickname, see Florida state law) constitute child abuse. They have already fabricated “evidence-informed information” showing that all forms of transition are harmful, and they’ll argue that only these sources qualify for the 102.B.2 exemption.

Once Chevron deference is dead, all it will take is an act of Congress to enshrine this specific interpretation of the law. Handing FTC the authority to enforce is a fig leaf designed to fool the center-right.
Amplitudes are complex numbers, because periodic signals exhibit phase.

The modulus ("complex absolute value") gives us the amplitude, and the angle encodes phase.

The way we usually encode phase is that it's frequency dependent. π or 180° of phase corresponds to a frequency-dependent amount of time.

At any frequency, sine and cosine waves are at 90 degrees from each other, forming a quadrature.

This 90 degrees has not only frequency and time interpretation, but a vector interpretation. If we chop the signal into samples to make a vector of numbers, the sine and cosine vectors will be at 90 degrees in the sense that their cross product is zero. I.e. actually perpendicular in the N-space they inhabit.

Under Fourier analysis, we are projecting the signal onto these basis vectors: how much of the sin, and how much of the cos.

We can combine the sine and cosine into a complex number thanks to Euler's formula e(ix) = cos(x) + i sin(x). By imagining the signal as being in polar coordinates, where its phase angle is the angle around the complex plane, and amplitude is the modulus, we simplify and condense the math. The two vectors at 90 degrees apart are combined into one vector of complex numbers for us to deal with.

So "how much of this signal correlates with sin(x)" gives us the imaginary component, and "how much of this signal correlates with cos(x)" gives us the real component. We can just add these together to make a complex number. Its argument (angle) gives us the phase, and modulus the amplitude.
Your house and car also have monthly subscriptions that come with them. Electricity, gas, etc.

It's a shame. The recent "datacenter nvme" standards involving fb, goog, et al mandate 4K LBA support.
It kinda makes sense if you have that type of money. Let's say a bunker costs $10 million and offers a 10% incremental chance of surviving an apocalypse then it's pretty much a no-brainer if you are worth a billion or more. For one, you probably make more than that in one year from the interest on your assets alone so you're not going to miss it. And if the worst comes to the worst, the rest of your money is going to be worthless so you might as well invest in an asset that might still provide you some advantage in the ultimate catasrophe.

Obviously, the "offering a 10% incremental chance of survival" part of the above is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this calculation. There's just too many ways for shit to go wrong for you to feel that confident. Still, it might be worth the expense even if you just treat it as a (very expensive) entertainment exercise.
I always find the metaphorical estimates in science reporting absurd. I don’t know why the mass of a male African elephant is in any way more visceral than 6000 kg (btw a quick google search gives a band of 1800 to 6300kg, which isn’t particularly precise). Given Titan is about 4.5 billion years old this could be an enormous amount of complex carbon transferred from the surface assuming it’s more or less a one way process.
Well, sure. But it is convenient to have lots of sample data. Also you get the first TiB per month free in BQ.

Also note that anyone can make a dataset available for public use, where they pay the storage and the consumer pays the compute. The official Google datasets are just curated and maintained by Google itself.

Having to share your phone number does not meaningfully affect security and privacy. Being able to sign up without a phone number enables anonymity. Anonymity and privacy are related, to be sure, but anonymity is not required for privacy.

I think it's a mischaracterization to say that they spam "everyone" when you create an account. They only tell others who a) have you in their contact lists, and b) have an account with Signal too. I agree, though, that they should be more transparent about this, and require that you opt in to this behavior.

Personally, though, I don't mind it; for the most part this is how I've discovered other contacts on Signal, and vice versa. But I can understand why it makes some people uncomfortable.

What I find "absolutely mind bending" is that this is such a big deal-breaker for people such as yourself. While I wouldn't call it a nothingburger, it's -- to me -- at most a simple error in assuming what people are comfortable with.

Edit: I re-read what a few others had said upthread about how indiscriminate this new-user notification is. The examples of notifications being sent to users that had been blocked via the phone's built-in call/SMS blocking features are especially chilling. There's really no excuse for that, but still, to me this automatic notification is a feature developed in good faith, with good intentions, not some nefarious privacy invasion. They should be taken to task for its failings, but dismissing the entire platform over it seems a bit over the top.

Fair enough. One's belief in creation myths, higher powers/beings, afterlives, etc... is not, per se, activism, but once you start gathering people on a regular basis to bring about societal/behavioral change (ya know, commandments, morals, laws based on religious ideas/notions/opinions, etc...), much less proselytizing, then, yeah, it's pretty much the definition (or at least the poster child) of activism.

Wasn't one of the important properties of tokens that they allow the LLM to represent a sort of "semantic unit"? I.e. If you generate an embedding over words, the embedding can capture meaningful semantic relations between words, because most words do have a relatively narrowly-defined meaning. In contrast, an embedding over letters/characters/bytes/etc can't do the same because the meaning of those depends entirely on context.

I thought, tokens were sort of a compromise between the two: they still allowing meaningful embeddings for frequent, "large" tokens while also including "small" tokens that can be used to make up new words.

In 1980 packet switching had existed for 20 years already. The public Internet wouldn’t emerge for more than a decade after that—and it would take yet another 20 years for the true power of packet-switched networks to be realized, in the form of mobile Internet.

In 2000 neural networks had existed for more than 50 years. More than 20 years later their full potential is finally being realized, and many would say it is still early days.

It’s naive to think that you can predict the future course of a technology simply based on the fact that it has already existed for a certain amount of time.
The model producing copyrighted material isn't as great an argument as people seem to think.

The cases are pursuing training as infringement, not usage.

So in the case of Mario - there's no infringing in learning the attributes of the most recognizable Italian plumber in video games. It is only when the models create images of Mario in their usage that's infringing (which will be separate cases and those will likely be a shoe-in for plaintiffs forcing copyright tagging filters in front of publicly accessible generative models).

The most damning part is the reproductions of the NYT text, as that's not simply learning attributes of a copyrighted character, but verbatim partial duplication. I suspect in many of those cases it's due to fair use copying of segments of NYT articles by multiple other sources in the training data, but it's going to be difficult waters for the defense to navigate even if that's the case - but this is also technically impossible for any trained LLM to avoid. If a source you have rights to quotes a source you don't have rights to, you are going to ingest a legally permissible usage of material that suddenly will no longer be legally permissible to have ingested?

We'll see how it plays out, but it really seems like it's just going to come down to a drawn out appeals battle no matter how it lands given different judges are likely going to each ultimately see it differently given both sides have potentially compelling arguments.
