>> I could identify pretty well. Smell of home, pencil rubbers, chalk clouds, rotten bananas, denim.. things do have quite specific smells

Those are classes of things, not specific objects. We all know the smell of erasers, but can we identify the smell of a specific eraser? Part of it is sensitivity but it is also largely that our brains are not designed to associate smells with individual objects. Think of how we handle faces, which we can spot even if at a different orientation than we have seen before. Or how we can hear a specific voice amongst a crowd. Dogs do that with scent profiles.
> someone will produce an ASIC that destroys nvidia's margins here.

From what I understand, if someone made an ASIC for LLM inference, such a device would effectively have the specific model locked in. You wouldn't be able to update the ASIC for newer versions of the model that alter the architecture. At best, you might be able to make one that allows you to update the weights.

I'm also not sure how cheaply you could produce such an ASIC. One that runs a 7B parameter model probably wouldn't be too expensive, but something that could rival GPT-4 would be.
Yeah but the WWW saw widespread adoption, like retail, social networking, ads, etc. The same cannot be said for crypto even 15 years later. Crypto is still a niche or mostly gambling.
Yeah it should be something serious like The Face Book or Twitter or Tumblr or Orkut or X or something!!

Maine has right to roam, kind of, in a very american way: you can assume you have permission, unless clearly indicated otherwise. This preserves property rights, but only if you want them. Also there is a strong presumption of zero liability for the landowner (AFAIK!), so landowners aren't particularly incentivized to close off their land.

All thanks to the hunting lobby, I expect.
Last time I looked into using nouveau (ca. 2018-2019), there was an issue with the Nvidia firmware (some kind of DRM?) that prevented implementation of proper power management support on recent generations, which made it nearly useless for GPU-heavy applications. Has that changed?

It equally applies to ANY current programming language, including the fashionable Golang and Rust, not to mention Python, Java, C#, C++ or JavaScript.

So this argument is childish.
I’ve been thinking a lot about that too, there are so many code proposals and votes and pull requests happening which - if held to the same standard as the rest of the open source community here - would be interesting front page discussions on HN all the time

there are two things that could help fix that:

1. dang and the moderators should heavily flag "unsubstantial" comments on crypto-related posts. many HN users use any post about crypto assets to talk about an irrelevant philosophical view on the entire sector's existence, many of those users of course work for a democracy destabilizing adtech conglomerate and don't see the irony in their focus on "no utility, scams, money laundering" when there are other things going on but even then those users just want to move the goalpost about why those other things aren't useful instead of how it could be. those comments should all be flagged and users should be requested to talk about the article in question.

2. HN users interested in particular discussions can post them more, and ensure engagement occurs on those posts. For example, deep discussions about Taproot and the organizations building on that should have been here, and should be. Code based solutions should be born here and carried back to repositories and other forums. A network's "improvement proposal" should be discussed here, and the implementation details, or updates on network consensus. Libraries that developers use should be talked about here ad nauseam.
> the number of roots even for the same quadratic equation may depend on "private" thoughts such as whether complex roots are of interest

You are confusing ambiguity in a problem statement due to human language being imprecise with two well-specified identical experimental results having different results due to the intentions of the human carrying them out.

Is arithmetic a religion because there's "one true way" of adding integers?

No, the time limit is enforced. The way it worked when I took this kind of problem is that the company sent me a link to a web page that explained how the 3 hour timer would start when I viewed the prompt. I could choose to view the prompt whenever I wanted, within the next two weeks.

I entered my solution in a leet code sort of editor. Presumably it would lock me out if I didn't submit within 3 hours of viewing the prompt.

Due to complications with Odysseus’ internal navigation system — specifically concerning the software patch to navigation data to include NASA’s NDL (Navigation Doppler Lidar) payload, which is meant to ensure a soft landing — the decision was made to power down EagleCam during landing and not deploy the device during Odysseus’ final descent.
I'm confused in that I don't see how this is troubling. Yes, the two experimenters rolled dice and got the same result, but it's as if one of them was rolling a 6 sided die and the other a 20 sided one. Each experiment is not a result per se but a sample from a distribution.

How you infer the shape of that distribution based on the experiment is a function of the distribution of all courses your experiment could have taken. This set of paths is different in each case, which means the inference we make must also be different.

There is no inconsistency. The confusion seems to be in assuming that the experimental result was a true statement about the nature of the world rather than a true statement about simply what happened.

edit:
This seems to me to be a specific case of a general class of difficult thinking where you ask yourself: "what are all the worlds that I might be in that are consistent with what I'm presently observing".
And also “what’s a slur” alone is very subjective.
For instance on Twitter Elon has decided “cis” and “cisgender” are slurs, but “trans” and “transgender” aren’t. But in gender discussions the terms come up all the time, and they are just terms.

Moderation is full of gray areas, and they are unavoidable.
I think you have it the other way around.

I'm no crypto fan at all, in fact I despise the lunacy and greed in the sector, but I've read about Satoshi to understand that it was crystal clear from day 1 to him that the cryptography or cryptosystem as you call it was just an implementation detail, in fact he was brilliant at understanding that the critical value of Bitcoin was that it was consensus being the key to the entire dynamic.

And consensus has a crystal clear incentive into holding bad actors out, because if bad actors can take over a network they de facto sink the value of the network and coins themselves.

So even if a government tomorrow could start controlling the network, consensus will simply reject and fork.

Albeit I don't like the crypto industry and such, I can't lie that there are many great economical lessons to learn.

I gave Linux a try again on my laptop and the first game I tried (EVE Online) just said "not supported" when I tried to run it via Steam. So not a good start so far.
For what it's worth: I've had excellent success with moving the .git folder outside of dropbox. Simply create a text file, ``.git``, in the folder you want to use, and add a single line: ``gitdir: /abs/path/to/gitdir``. Now you can use your sync provider of choice to shuffle most-recent code between computers as needed, without extra git commits.

The biggest gotcha is that it's not particularly cross-platform-safe, because the file paths might be different.
There's also easements into greenbelts. There are some places around lakes where you can only access the publicly accessible areas by crossing private property. Usually, there is a designated path for that access, and the property owner cannot block it from public use.

> One who thinks that the important question is: "Which quantities are random?" is then in this situation. For the first researcher, n was a fixed constant, r was a random variable with a certain sampling distribution. For the second researcher, r/n was a fixed constant (approximately), and n was the random variable, with a very different sampling distribution. Orthodox practice will then analyze the two experiments in different ways, and will in general draw different conclusions about the efficacy of the treatment from them.

But so then the data _are_ different between the two experiments, because they were observing different random variables -- so why is it concerning if they arrive at different conclusions? In fact, the _fact that the 2nd experiment finished_ is also an observation on its own (e.g. if the treatment was in fact a dangerous poison, perhaps it would have been infeasible for the 2nd researcher to reach their stopping criteria).
A lot of those movements are there to zero out the axes so that each movement starts from a known good position and orients itself against the camera. Usually there's a switch that, for example, senses when the body goes all the way to the bottom, which is the origin for the whole positioning system. Several other movements are for safety since it doesn't have a bunch of cameras and really complex logic for collision avoidance so it resets to a smaller profile between moving around.

Since motors are capable of very precise movements and errors accumulate, this is a best practice when starting new movements. Humans instead have a complex hand-eye coordination system that trained all of our lives (and some people are better at it than others).
Yeah, I mean: Realistically, I'm going to do what I need to do and treat the rules more like guidelines: We all do this in our own ways.

But neighbors can be both difficult, and ever-present.

I had a busy-body neighbor once that would go out of his way to make sure that everyone was following the rules.

For instance: It'd been snowing, quite a lot, and the roads were officially closed. But I had to get my wife to work at 5:30AM anyway: Those road closures don't apply to people in her line of work in the medical field.

So we went out early and started digging. We thought we had made a good path but got the car stuck in the middle of our boring little side street anyway. Fun times.

And the nosy neighbor dude waddles up from his house. He doesn't offer to help, like many normal neighbors might have done, or a great neighbor would feel compelled to do.

His compulsion was different.

He just takes a series of photos our clearly-evident (to him) lawbreaking activities and smugly waddles back inside.

This is the kind of neighbor who absolutely would make sure I would be reported for working on a non-resident's vehicle in my own garage.

I've only had one such neighbor in my decades of adulthood, but he cannot be the only one who is this way.

I think the conjecture is that each expert of GPT-4 has 220B parameters, for a total of 1.76T parameters.
If you have two researchers, and one is "trying" to p-hack by repeating an experiment with different parameters, and one is trying to avoid p-hacking by preregistering their parameters, you might expect the paper published by the latter one to be more reliable.

However, if you know that the first researcher just happened to get a positive result on their first try (and therefore didn't actually have to modify parameters), Bayesian math says that their intentions didn't matter, only their result. If, however, they did 100 experiments and chose the best one, then their intentions... still don't matter! but their behavior does matter, and so we can discount their paper.

Now, if you _only_ know their intentions but not their final behavior (because they didn't say how many experiments they did before publishing), then their intentions matter because we can predict their behavior based on their intentions. But once you know their behavior (how many experiments they attempted), you no longer care about their intentions; the data speaks for itself.

This paper reminds me of the Neural Network Diffusion paper which was on the front page of HN yesterday in the sense that we are training another model to bypass a number of iterative steps (in the previous paper, those were SGD steps, in this one, it is A* exploration steps).

On a different note, they choose such a bad heuristic for the A* for Sokoban. The heuristic they choose is "A∗ first matches every box to the closest dock and then computes the sum of all Manhattan distances between each box and dock pair". I played Sokoban for 20 minutes while reading the paper and I feel like this is a very poor exploration heuristic (you often need to move boxes away from goal state to make progress).

> I would argue that a lot of the harm comes from a substance a) being addictive, and b) being significantly unhealthy. To the point where the net harm probably outweighs the net benefit.

I think it's important to point out that cannabis is a plant, and has a drastically different risk profile than alcohol. You keep grouping the two as if they're similar, but they're not. I say this as someone who has clearly experienced the downsides, but who still doesn't think banning it makes any sense, especially if there are criminal penalties involved.

Historically, the bans have been predicated on lies, and associating it with harder drugs that are a clear and obvious danger to public health. The issue I have with your argument is that it presupposes that these are plants to be legalized (vs. legal by default). The burden of proof should lie on why we think they are harmful, and why they shouldn't be legal by default, IMO. And when looked at through that lens, existing policies have clearly not been aligned with reality.

I'd support common sense regulations and requirements around public education, maybe even limits on strength. But there's a wide spectrum of possibility between banning something and making sure that people use it safely.

If we want to focus on banning substances that are addictive and a net harm to society, there is a lot more low hanging fruit across the food industry. Let's start with sugar.

It's funny, I remembered that exchange pretty much the opposite way - if you'd listened to those internet experts, you'd have been dead sure that a system that's been running for one and a half decades without major hiccups wouldn't work, a product that now has global brand recognition would never see adoption,... There are legitimate reasons to not like the product, eg how it facilitates cyber crime, power consumption, but that's not the focus of the discussion. And it's not like the judgements were all technically sound and they just underestimated the marketing appeal. They ramble on about how the bad guys have more compute power than the good guys, which is more of a distraction than a useful contribution.
