We currently support AWS but use terraform for deployment, which is pretty cloud agnostic. So far, we haven't gotten any major requests for expanding to other cloud providers and most of our incoming customers are already on AWS anyways.

One of the main reasons why healthcare players were moving onto Azure was for in-built HIPAA compliant OpenAI access. We've been able to help our customers directly sign BAAs with OpenAI so this wasn't a concern.

Me too, I don't think it's public yet.
`str(queryset.query)` does not give you executable SQL. Query parameters are not escaped or encoded in that representation of the query. That escaping/interpolation of query parameters is performed by mogrify. I agree the name is odd, and I don't know why they use it other than "transmogrify" being an obscure word for "magically transform".

debug_toolbar and silk are both tools that show you what queries were executed by your running application. They're both good tools, but neither quite solves the problem of giving you the executable SQL for a specific queryset (e.g., in a repl).
We can fix it conclusively in one fell swoop; remove the limitations on liability for executives and active shareholders.

If the executives in charge at boeing had to show up to court every time one of their planes crashed, this wouldn't be an issue. If they were facing criminal liability for negligence, you'd never even see them in court. The problems would straight-up just disappear.

Same goes for Pharma and oil execs. If your actions can be punished, you will do a better job of controlling yourself when you see dollar signs, rather than just do literally whatever and face the "worst-case" scenario of being fired with a golden parachute.

This article focuses on man-made locations, but I'd like to point out that the Horizon Zero Dawn franchise is set among the stunning natural beauty of the American West, including (spoilers?)

The Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Lake Powell, Cheyenne Mountain, Arches National Park, Grand Teton, and Yellowstone National Parks. There's more lesser-known locations, and some man-made structures appear, in a state of advanced decay, but the setting is mostly about the natural world.
>If they aren't the legal equivalent of persons, then they can't perform necessary activities like entering into contracts.

That's not true. Yes, corporate personhood exists to make things like forming a contract with or suing a corporation possible without a whole bunch of extra laws. But corporate personhood is not declaring corporations totally equivalent to natural persons. Corporations, for example, cannot vote or get married and probably can't adopt kids in any state.

You're really generating $3000 per month from ChatGPT? Can you give a hint about what you've built that generates this kind of ROI?

I have only seen people making money in AI by selling AI products/promises to other people who are losing money. The practical uses of these tools still seem to be largely untapped outside of as enhanced search engines. They're great at that, but that does not have a return on value that is in proportion to current investment in this space.
What a time that was! There is nothing like it today.
It's simple. To begin with it's 1/3 your pick is right. You know that a goat will be revealed. So it's absurd to suppose that the fact that a goat is revealed has increased the probability of your initial guess being correct.

Which door is opened to reveal a goat is totally irrelevant, as either would (under the absurd supposition) increase the probability of the initial guess to 50%. In other words, an increase to 50% would be guaranteed from the very beginning. So a contradiction is reached with the obvious fact that initial prob is 1/3.
The good news is: you do not understand how modern (last 30+ years) OS memory management works.

If you have free ram the OS will cache all the recently accessed things. It costs effectively zero to cache them when you access them, and it costs effectively zero to evict from the cache if you actually need the memory for "useful" work. And if the cached thing is useful in the mean time, you win because RAM is still orders of magnitude faster than SSD. None of the scenarios are a perf loss. The only scenarios are "win" or "no gain."

"But won't the next application I load, load faster if there is free RAM?"

If you are asking this question, please refer back to the previous concept -- "it costs effectively zero to evict from the cache if you actually need the memory for 'useful' work." This is where people typically get confused. They think it takes work to evict things from the cache, just like it would require work to remove frequently used objects from your physical desk if you needed to free up space.

Once you understand that the rest should fall into place.

> but he might open a door with the car accidentally.

Yes, but the fact that the problems never mention this possibility makes it pretty clear to me that, from the contestant's perspective, it is guaranteed that this will not happen. The original problem even mentions that Monty Hall knows what's behind the doors, which gives a clear idea of how this guarantee is implemented (versus, say, the contestant's memory being wiped and the game reset every time a car is revealed).

The language of the problem is still ambiguous, of course, because all human language is ambiguous. It could be that the car is a Hot Wheels car and the goat is actually a more valuable prize. We could quibble endlessly about the ambiguity of the problem statement, but I personally find the mathematical problem of the traditional intended interpretation more interesting.

I find this very difficult to believe, GPT-4 is still the best public model. If they hand out the weights other companies will immediately release APIs for it, cannibalizing OpenAI's API sales.
> This is stereotypical Gell-Mann amnesia - you have to validate information, for yourself, within your own model of the world. You need the tools to be able to verify information that's important to you, whether it's research or knowing which experts or sources are likely to be trustworthy.

Except anthropologically speaking we still live in trust-based society. We trust water to be available. We trust the grocery stores to be stocked. We trust that our Government institutions are always going to be there.

All this to say we have a moral obligation not to let AI spam off the hook as "trust but verify". It is fucked up that people make money abusing innate trust-based mechanism that society depends on to be society.

I love a prudent take on company money – but given how investing works and how young this entire thing is and the (to me) absolutely real value, I find it hard to be very worried about that part right now.

I can literally run a ballpark model on my MB Pro, right now, at marginal additional electrical cost. I will be the first to say that all of this (including GPT4) is still fairly garbage, but I don't know when there was the last time in the history of tech, where less fantasy to get from here to what will be good was required.
I have the same issue. I have too many ideas with very limited amount of time to work on them. When I meet people, I want to share my ideas and get feedback about what they would find interesting, use, pay for, etc.

The most common unintended interpretation seems to be that Monty Hall is only coincidentally opening a door with a goat behind it. I don't quite understand how people arrive at that interpretation, but the 1,000-door variant should make it even more of a stretch to interpret it as Monty Hall coincidentally doing something so extremely improbable.
f-strings are part of the language so you need to change the interpreter to make that fail. That will not play nice with the rest of the codebase.
Your PM was probably referencing the fact there is no audit requirement — HIPAA is self attestation.

There are lots of examples of Republicans sabotaging government legislation. The most recent case is the immigration deal reached by Senate Democrats and Republicans. They did this to make the current administration look incompetent so they could allow Trump to "win" on the issue next year.

The other divergence is in expectations.

A kid in the early to mid-80's could get enough working that they could imagine it possible to match a store bought game.

Once hardware capabilities went up, so did the need for more specialized skills and longer development cycles. Even though it might have still been possible to draw a box on the screen with a single command, the relationship of that box to a valuable outcome was a lot less obvious.
My first instinct was to ask "Does this play well with CIRCT?" And thankfully they answer that right away in the README.

I'm personally of the opinion that there is a LOT of room for improvement in the hardware design tooling space, but a combination of market consolidation, huge pressure to meet deadlines, and an existing functional pipeline of Verilog/VHDL talent is preventing changes.

That's not to say "Verilog/VHDL are bad", because clearly they've been good enough to support nearly all of the wonderful designs powering today's devices. But it is to say, "the startup scene for hardware will continue to look anemic compared to the SaaS scene until someone gives me all of the niceties I have for building SaaS tools in software."

A huge amount of ideas (and entire designs) start off as software sims, which enables kernel/compiler engineers to start building out support for new hardware before it's manufactured.

There is some interesting work going on at SiFive building hardware with Chisel[1], as well as some interesting work lead by a professor at William and Mary to improve simulations[2].

I feel like people on an esteemed forum like Hacker News should be able to move past this kind of beginner-level argument.

The point of memory safe languages is not to not have unsafe code. It is to centralize unsafe code in a few places that can be thoroughly audited, tested, and verified, and then provide safe abstractions on top of that.
> So your claim is that the same type of binary computers that were running Windows 95, and now more powerful computers that can run Far Cry 6 with a better video card, are basically identical to human brains

The type of computer is irrelevant as long as it's a universal computer. What matters is the algorithm in that case.

> We know how LLMs work, we do not fully understand how human brains work

Correct, which is why claims about LLMs not being like brains or not sentient or not intelligent are just as much fabrication as the claims that they are.

> An LLM will NOT go sentient if you cross some imaginary critical point of data.

First, you technically don't know that. Second, it seems more plausible that if sentience can be a product or byproduct of an algorithm of a certain type, then any implementation of said algorithm at different scales will all have some sentience, and possibly the extent of sentience will scale with the size of the data set on which it's operating.

> Then what? We give my Intel PC a passport?

Sentience is not agency.

> Even those working in the field will tell you that GIA needs a completely different foundation.

Some will, and others will point out that scaling has not showed any sign of slowing down.

I was thinking the exact same thing last month[1]! It's really interesting what the implications of this might be, and how valuable human-derived content might become. There's still this idea of model collapse, whereby the output of LLMs trained repeatedly on artificial content descends into what we think is gibberish, so however realistic ChatGPT appears, there are still significant differences between its writing and ours.

Produce useful work, and nobody cares about whether you played by the rules of society.

If you cannot effectively convey information to others, then, I'm not sure you are a polymath. This skill is the same skill that you should already be using to consume and comprehend information to begin with, so it should be second nature to you.

And, go ahead and go through life thinking "I am a polymath, but, I feel no need to prove it either directly or indirectly through the work that I do." If that's the path that you take, then, enjoy being completely indiscernible from everyone else, and thus effectively lying to yourself to feel special. Because you can not even trust your own perception of yourself except through the work that you do -- this is the litmus test that avoids large swaths of cognitive bias if you can pass it.
> want to steelman support for mandatory arbitration agreements where possible

I'll restrict my arguments to commercial and consumer mandatory arbitration agreements. Those are the ones I'm familiar with.

After reviewing your sources, I'm unconvinced--for commerce and consumption--that the complaints hold. Arbitrarors are mutually picked. Every major arbitration venue has strict rules on who is qualified to arbitrate. And the cost, speed and access is definitely better than litigation. (Delaying a case and bleeding out your opponent are separate. The capacity for both is much higher in litigation.)

That said, I'm massively in favour of arbitration reform. For consumer--and commercial agreements where there is a material disparity in size between the parties--there should be a standard set of terms, written in plain English, which drafters may use. Step outside those, and the standard for judicial review (and state regulation) is lowered. If a sufficient number of arbitration claims are similar, they should be allowed to petition to form a class.
Talking to people who want you to hire them is going to introduce a lot of bias with respect to responsibilities and expectations at their current company.

Do you regularly hire the seniors you talk to as principals? Really a better question is do you hire juniors from that company who are ready to be promoted to senior there as principals at your company?
