Let T be the life span and t be the age. Let s = T - t.

Remark 1:
dt / s is small when t is small.

Remark 2:
Perception of s (call it p) is in reality a function of t. For small t, p(t) is perceived to be near infinity. For t > 40, p(t) rapidly decays to a small number.
Why would it be a compatibility issue? Every time one gets added it will presumably be added to this list. In fact once you get your embed working with some set of directives you want to say "I will never need more than this, deny anything new."

You don't like their mice? My Magic Mouse is the single most comfortable mouse I've ever had, and the only one that doesn't give me wrist or finger pain after a day's work. I've tried dozens from Logitech and Microsoft and SteelSeries and Razer, including ergo ones and track balls and track pads, but keep coming back to the Magic Mouse for its simple comforts.

Similarly, the Airpod Pros are so incredibly comfortable it's hard to imagine going back to anything else. (Even though I have an Android and it doesn't support all the features, just basic Bluetooth.)

It's not always that great though, of course. My M2 MacBook Pro is so much heavier than my old ThinkPad, and its keyboard is much much worse. The touchpad has terrible palm rejection and keeps jumping the cursor around. Overall I still love the machine but mostly use it docked.

I do miss the old iMacs, but the new ones are gorgeous and elegant in their own way. It was the first time I was tempted by a desktop in a looooong while.

As an aside - I have a bunch of logical expressions and I need to see if they are mutually exclusive. As in, if one is true given some combination of the variables, none of the other expressions must be true for the same combination.

What an insight into other people's workflow. I literally can't remember the last time I closed the last tab, it must have been years ago.

I just build up tab groups in windows and occasionally declare bankruptcy on the whole thing and close all of it. So technically that counts as closing the last tab? But it's a housekeeping operation I do maybe four times a year, and usually I'm rebooting the computer so closing the browser is also fine by me. I kill entire groups when I'm done with them but there's always a couple windows which just accrete tabs endlessly, like the one with Twitter pinned.

Your anecdote sounds more likely a result of improper preservation than anything else, since it's unlikely everyone present would have had an intolerance. The author of the page you linked also seems to imply that their reaction was somehow specifically due to the annonacin, however I think a food allergy/intolerance is more likely (many people are allergic to citrus, or other tree fruit, for example). Annonacin toxicity is certainly a concern and effects of long-term exposure are not well understood, however the population from the most frequently cited study (namely, the well-known Guadeloupe study) also regularly consumed tea made from the leaves and bark of the tree which contain significantly more annonacin than the fruit -- in addition to eating several serving of the fruit nearly every day. I think for most, having a pawpaw every now and then will not do any harm. That being said, it is good to use a little caution when trying a new family of fruit (or plant in general) since you could be unlucky enough to have a reaction.

From what I understand the need for a "proof-of-concept" comes from the fact these codecs/drivers often using memory unsafe "tricks" to increase performance and therefore need to be properly tested on a myriad of hardware to make sure the conversion to memory safe code isn't a significant performance impact.
I think you need more evidence than this paper (which is very short and light on actual numbers) to be this shocked.

For example, most of the plots in the paper are actually of throughput, memory, etc. all performance characteristics that are better on the ternary version. Which, of course.

The only thing that contains perplexities are Table 1 and 2. There, they compare "BitNet b1.58 to our reproduced FP16 LLaMA LLM in various sizes" on the RedPajama data set. The first thing to note is the perplexities are very high: they're all at least ~9.9, which compared for example with quantized Llama on wikitext-2 which is 6.15 (https://www.xzh.me/2023/09/a-perplexity-benchmark-of-llamacp...). Maybe RedPajama is a lot harder than wikitext-2, but that's a big gap.

I think probably their benchmark (their "reproduced FP16 LLaMA LLM") is just not very good. They didn't invest much in training their baseline and so they handily beat it.

> how do you use -0 in the add

In my mind the two zero values would represent a tiny epsilon around 0, let's say -0.01 and +0.01. Looking at them like this, it would mean

+0 +0 -0 = +0
+0 -0 -0 = -0
+1 * +0 = +0
-1 * +0 = -0

Performing addition with the same sign count in each group would be problematic. How to decide on the sign of +0-0 or +1-1, other than flipping a coin?
This looks interesting! I need to try this on the weekend :)

Related statement from the Executive Director of Open Collective Europe (OCE):
https://opencollective.com/europe/updates/regarding-the-anno...

I'm personally the admin of a (very small) OCF collective. It's sad to see them stopping. When starting the collective ~2 years ago, OCF was an attractive option because of their fees, which were significantly lower than many other big fiscal hosts (5% instead of 10%). Their array of services was also impressive, but I never made use of any service outside the core Open Collective feature set. I wonder if raising their fees, or cutting down services, would have made the operation more sustainable.
Wait until they tie it to the actual person because they know this person will pay whatever.

Why do only a handful of developers get all the views these days? It used to be a lot more decentralized and interesting. Nowadays, there are a few somewhat junior people you keep hearing about over and over and they're usually talking about boring mainstream tools which are mostly mediocre.

The Homebrew developers are getting flack for something negative they have nothing to do with because someone who no longer has anything to do with the project blatantly positions himself like he does. That is the problem.

Just look at the confusion that causes:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39510756

That’s a small (but recent) example. On most HN Homebrew discussions I still see someone thinking Max is related to it.
This has been described as similar to Uber/Lyft surging but it’s different in a few critical ways that I suspect consumers are less tolerant of.

When Uber/Lyft are surging it incentivise more drivers to go to the surge area. This raises supply and the surge rate decreases. Drivers are distributed automatically where they are needed. Overall trips taken should be higher compared with a no surging model. So it shifts both the demand (higher ride price) and the supply curves dynamically. That’s an easier model to market to customers as there is at least some logical sense behind it.

However in Wendys case dynamic pricing has no effect on supply. It just modifies the demand curve.

Fundamentally they are betting that their food demand is inelastic enough that they’ll make more money overall. That just feels more exploitative and is going to be harder to market.
> It’s hard to argue that stealing people’s work supports the mission of the news. This is not adding any new information to the mix.

It's more simple (and complicated) than that.

The issues with Google overtuning their AI is the embodiment of the maxim: You just can't please everyone.

It's well known that most formulations of Politically Correct ideologies, when arbitrarily mixed together, aren't necessarily logically consistent. For example, when talking about diversity, generally people talk about portrayal in films for example, but they don't raise the question whether historical figures should receive the same treatment. How about historical figures in a fictional film? (I don't even know the answer to this one, cf. Cleopatra and her historically Greek ethnicity)

Even if you there is theoretically a single correct answer to what is PC in complicated circumstances, there's no way you could encode this information into a language model since the data set is descriptive, and PC is mostly prescriptive. A simple prompt isn't enough, and AI researchers aren't PhDs in contemporary sociopolitical thought.
>Everyone" knows that leap years occur on year divisible by 4 ('first rule').

Actually, I think that's the only rule most people know. I think the "funny story" is actually the opposite: most people were treating 2000 as an ordinary every-4-year leap year, did not know about the 100 divisor, but were inadvertently saved by the 400 divisor.

The Wikipedia link does document some cases of what you say (yes on the 2nd rule, omitting the 3rd rule) but I think there were far, far more cases of simply assuming only the 1st rule applied.

I think "discipline"/"motivation" is difficult to communicate for a few reasons -

3. It's an internal perception of an internal process.

4. It feels like a real thing that other people should be able to understand.
I can't seem to quit my Thinkpad, even as Lenovo gets worse. I need a Thinkpad style trackpoint. I was expecting after at least a few years, this would be available because modding old school Thinkpads is big in the same scene that Framework is in, but no.

They're about to test demand elasticity and find out. People are going to go elsewhere. For demand-based pricing to work the price has to be allowed go to zero or near zero.

The less you drive an EV the harder it is to offset the embodied carbon involved in manufacturing it. There will be a point where, if you don't drive much, an EV emits more carbon than a internal combustion engine car. If you drive a bit more, the EV is more efficient than an ICE but less efficient than a hybrid with a smaller battery. If you drive a bit more the EV will be more efficient than either. The article picks one usage level and uses this single data point to claim the hybrid is more efficient than the EV which is both interesting and misleading.

The current lack of anti-monopoly enforcement and corporate oversight in the US is a race to the bottom. Should the rest of the world compete by letting corporations run amok, acquire all competition and build monopolies? Or should they try to regulate, but risk driving away founders for whom the American legal environment is extremely lucrative?

It's similar to the debate France had about raising the progressive tax rates - some ultrarich people would rather give up their French residency, than pay higher taxes.

There's clearly stuff the EU could do to be more competitive, but I think the core issue is that American investors can expect less risk and bigger payoffs, because the environment is friendlier to them, but the environment being friendlier to them leads to regular people getting screwed by giant companies that operate with no oversight. Fast forward the 2020s and you literally have planes falling out of the sky.

I don't think there are any great options.

I'm also aware this is a fringe view on HN, kinda by definition. It's a forum for founders, mostly in the US, and the median opinion on what you should be able to do with your company on here is extreme by most peoples' standards. But the echo chamber needs some dissent on this point.
