Evo: Long-context modeling from molecular to genome scale
How would this be explained to a non-physicist? The video description doesn't really help (not complaining, I am sure I'm not the intended audience here).
Not everyone views essential basic human needs as an investment vehicle.
This is exactly my thought on the matter - this sort of auto-generated documentation is transient synthetic data, it doesn't warrant being kept in version control (or, if in version control, in a sidecar db clearly marked as auto-generated)

Always up-to-date and succinct auto-generated LLM-generated 'documentation' that describes a method in terms of who calls it (and perhaps why?) and the behaviour of the whole deep call graph inside the function seems like something that could be quite useful when looking at a method that doesn't have any human written documentation available, and isn't obvious... but it shouldn't masquerade as if it's actual API documentation that describes a durable contract.

If this synthesised analysis could flag incompatibilities between the contract described in API documentation and the actual code behaviour that could be useful (similar to what tools do today for nullable/non-nullable-annotated args/returns, except on fuzzier natural language descriptions of higher level behaviours). That seems like a much harder reasoning problem for the LLM to solve, though.
PowerBI started small and developed quickly.

Microsoft like any software company will raise prices on their tools similar to tableau or oracle in the past.

Microsoft uniquely has a large portion of the fortune 100-500 as customers. They have already had that market from office, m365, etc and will grow those things.

Microsoft is relatively early in the licensing lifecycle arc for cloud.

This will happen relative to the maturity of offering, uptake/demand to pricing.

Some of this can already be seen with the Business central pricing.

Again, the above is not to single Microsoft out. Only that their products are relatively young but developing extremely quickly and the execution of the pricing models will be relative to a lot of things like demand, and stock prices.
And the layoffs sadly continue.

Also does anyone know if there's something like HN or YC for gamedev?
Jevons Paradox doesn't always apply to software
Yes, the packaging geometry is pretty different on the F35C compared to other carrier-operated platforms like the F14, F/A-18, or E2C. Notably the platforms I just listed were designed from the ground up for CATOBAR operation. The F35C is just one variant of the platform, and must share certain geometries and constraints with its conventional and hovering sisters.

It reminds me of cloud computing PaaS type stuff.

Yeah, you don't need to know sysadmin ... but you move that burden into paying more per GB/hour/... you pay for _someone else_ to know it for you, and encode that in the platform.

Look at how much AWS costs vs renting an actual server.

Sure, an LLM may be able to code something decent-ish up, but you're going to end up paying 10x or 100x the cost for a solution made by someone with knowledge.
Cars impact your health if you would have otherwise used some form of self propelled transportation (i.e. walking).
Sure, though I suspect "art" is the human version of a peacock tail — the difficulty is the point, it how we signal our worth to others, cheapening it breaks that signal — which would suggest that making all forms of art easy messes with (many of) us at a deep, essentially automatic, level.

More specifically, I was responding to the idea that "compensating creators whose works are used to train the models" would actually solve anything; to use your examples, it would be as if the literal luddites were suggesting passing laws saying that "all textile machines that work like humans need to compensate the humans they displace, and also you need to make your new machines from scratch without talking to any textile workers to make sure you don't cheat", and my response would be analogous to saying "there's already machines which don't work like humans, so you're going to be out of work and have no compensation".

The Luddite movement preceded The Communist Manifesto by about 30 years. Everything's sped up since then, so I'd be surprised if we have to wait 30 years for a political shift which is to AI what Communism was to industrialisation. I'm just hoping we don't get someone analogous to Stalin or Pol Pot this time.
I hope this is the last nail in the coffin of "Better living through chemistry™." Just because we can make it (and make money from it) doesn't mean we should.
> The claim can be literally true.

It can be. Would you take an even-money wager that the CoP curve will be flat [or increasing] with decreasing outside temp vs my wager that it will be downward sloping with decreasing outside temp?
I can't get past why Netlify's infrastructure continued serving a 3MB file to a botnet 55,000,000 times? I would've assumed their system was smarter than the ubuntu/apache install in my basement.
"The ESB team I have to work with, for example, has a hard cap of 8,000 lines (of XML) in a single file due to their shit performance. Why? “Because recursive, immutable code is ‘easier to reason about’”"

Bullshit like this really makes me want to leave the industry. The more "professional" and "business" programming gets, the more bullshit happens.

Microsoft: Feels Desperate Now
If you implemented some changes so the mistake is caught before disastrous consequences, you're already doing better. Well enough to let the 2nd one slide. Even the 3rd. After that, action seems reasonable. It's no longer a mistake, it's a pattern of faulty behavior.

> Apple doesn’t care enough about PWAs because users don’t care.

Maybe you are right.

But what is a PWA?

Maybe I have special website and users can configure Bluetooth devices via that page. No need to install a native App, no need for pwa.

All you need is a browser which supports the latest specs.

Most people can't image what could be possible without installing a native App.

We only know what we are used to. Much more could be possible without the need for native apps.

I am deeply relaxed, I am old. Hypes come and hypes go. The current hype for native apps will decline. The web is the only universal platform.
Wording issue, I think. I think parent poster meant they also find PFAS that are unlikely to come from Chemours, not that Chemours didn't create any.

Here's the study on which this article is based: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.est.2c02765

As noted in the article, the EPA recently lowered the "safe limit" based on evidence that the previously acceptable levels were still high enough to reduce vaccine efficacy in children.

And we already know PFAS impact fertility and hormones, can cause some cancers, etc.

What does this mean? That the F-35C can only hook correctly when it lands very close to center? And what does "wire only" mean? Aren't all arrested landings on carriers "wire only"?
They are not? What about Victoria Nuland, the Kagan Brothers and all other straussians that are always close to the power no matter which faction from the Uniparty is currently occupying the White House?

The original inline links are moved to a reference section. Some of them are dead links and marked (†).

Hey, Ben, my company does exactly what you're looking for. My contact info is in my about
I very recently replace my forced air gas furnace with a forced air heat pump (with 10 KW of auxiliary restive heater as well) in southern Ontario.

Over the last 11 days or so (February with a combination of cold and unseasonably warm days) I've used 1047.15 kWh of electricity, of which I estimate half to two-thirds is used on the heat pump. Taking the new ultra-low overnight pricing into account I'm paying an average of 9¢ (CAD) per kWh. I've been trying to pre-heat my home at the tail end of the ultra-low overnight rates (2.8 ¢/kWh) leading up to the 7 a.m. cutoff time.

My gas furnace was my only gas appliance, so I can remove now remove it and save on the month connection charge which is about $30 a month, even in the summer when I don't use gas.

Canada also, at least for now, has a pigouvian carbon tax, so I'll be saving on that as well.
>Over the past 20 years content creators were encouraged to use and invest in building an audience on these platforms based on the tacit understanding that they would behave like content neutral common carriers.

That's a strong assertion. Do you have any evidence to back that up?

AIUI, the law governing this (at least in the US -- which is relevant since we're discussing US state laws being challenged in the courts) is the Communications Decency Act of 1996[0], with section 230[1] of that law being the pointy end of the stick WRT these particulars. I would also point out that the above serves as a front-end (in that it allows the courts to reject lawsuits misdirected at platforms, when they should be directed at the source of the speech) to the First Amendment[2].

Please detail where, exactly, any of the above supports the claim that "content creators were encouraged to use and invest in building an audience on these platforms based on the tacit understanding that they would behave like content neutral common carriers."

Perhaps I'm missing something important (which is certainly possible) and I'd appreciate being enlightened. As such, I look forward to your response.

Edit: Cleaned up prose.

Additional Edit:
I'm responding to [3] below as I am apparently rate limited and wanted to make sure I was clear in what I'm trying to say as I am pretty passionate about it:

That's as may be, and I remember it fondly too.

However, it wasn't by government or the law that "content creators were encouraged to use and invest in building an audience on these platforms..."

Rather it was those platforms themselves. It would be easy for me to just say "sucker! you've been rooked!" and leave it at that.

However, I'll (attempt to) respond substantively by saying that the surveillance capitalism[4] business model was still nascent and there were many more options for interpersonal interaction back then.

It was inevitable that after the consolidation of "social" media that advertiser influence (since they're actually the customers -- not you) would be paramount to these platforms.

And that's what drives the moderation/censorship folks are complaining about -- because advertisers don't want to be associated with anything controversial, they just want you to buy their products/services and (the advertisers and the platforms as well as various middlemen) collect (ala [4]) as much information about you as they can to aid in that process.

Tesla uses prismatic cells as well. You are no expert (as you said), and of course you can buy your own storage cheaper than turnkey utility scale systems. Energy developers aren’t building their own systems; they cut Tesla a check and install the asset (orchestrated by Autobidder).

> Tesla uses LFP cells supplied by a Chinese manufacturer - CATL, which has basically become a strategic partner with a contract for the next several years.

> Because the LFP chemistry does not offer as high energy density as NCA or NCM, Tesla uses LFP only in the standard range versions of its cars (produced in Shanghai and soon globally). LFP will be used also in Tesla's energy storage systems.
It’s not fast enough any more. The fossil fuel companies were successful at preventing action for decades and in the intervening half century multiple generations of people have grown accustomed to cheap air travel. Making it more expensive will gradually reduce usage but that’s a slow process and there are a number of companies which didn’t even exist back when the science denial campaign started who would be trying their hardest to slow it down.

> I want to understand this.

I certainly don't understand but there is no need. The mechanism (provided it is legal) isn't really important.

We need work, to earn enough to survive and have some quality of life. It must feel like you've contributed something useful and society rewarded you reasonably for it. Others will have to do work for you or it wont work. If there is no money for that it cant work.

I think 100 years before things get truly silly.
This is true for all businesses but maybe more so for tech:

Don't have a business model that charges customers for your mistakes.

This customers bandwidth usage jumped from free tier to $100k in very short time. To be honest, this shouldn't even be possible. Any "free" tier that allows for a surprise $100k bill is not a free tier.

This bandwidth usage is the result of a mistake on Netlify's part. That much seems clear.

To go and suggest that the customer is responsible for any portion of the bill is where things really went sour imo. Don't do this. Ever. Unless you want your company to go viral for all the wrong reasons.

If you want another good example of how badly this can backfire, look at what happened when Unity announced their new pricing scheme. Unity's new pricing scheme also allowed for unbounded bills. At first they didn't even deny this. Later they said it was a customer misunderstanding. I.e., they blamed the customer for their mistake.

Thankfully, the CEO of Unity was fired.

The lessons are very straightforward:

1) Don't implement predatory pricing schemes (this can even be done unintentionally, but the intent doesn't matter).

2) If you do implement predatory pricing, the worst thing you can do is put on your surprised pikachu face when the customer asks why their bill is bigger than their annual income.

Everything has a cost, and if the hiring budget is available, things like bussing several hundred interns around may be cheaper than you'd expect, certainly cheaper (even with free Xboxes) than flying hundreds of candidates out for interviews.

Using "today" prices - something like $25-50 per person for the bus, $20 per for the film, $100 for the dinner, $400 for the Xbox - less than $1k all concerned.

> I think it is fair to say there are two different versions of modern C++ you can learn: one for library designers and one for everyone else.

I get what you're trying to say, but this assumption that only a subset of developers need to know how to write code intended to be consumed by third parties is the reason why stuff needlessly breaks all the time for no good reason. We can't have modularity without having code consumable by other components, and knowing how to write reusable components and reusable interfaces is a core competency in software development.
please include Muslims in your thought process, in that case.
But why are you talking about moving VMs?! Looks like you're adding tons of far-fetched speculations at every step of your reasoning.

The way you easily deal with this issue is very simple and does not require moving VMs: you just allocate newly spawned VMs to existing hosts with available room! When you do so (and they obviously all do!) you end up with little unused hardware…

OK, the issue is that I don't understand what you mean by "doing a prompt injection on the backtranslation" since that's not something the user is able to modify (in fact they wouldn't even see it). You need to explain how that's supposed to work. It's very difficult for users to affect the backtranslation since they have no direct control over it and have to manipulate the LLM "twice as hard." You have write a super-adversarial prompt is simultaneously

1) subtle enough that it doesn't immediately trigger the LLM filter

2) overt enough that the relevant details to the jailbreak can be recovered from the LLM's output and put into the backtranslation

I suspect with current transformer LLMs these are mutually incompatible goals.
Apparently not, since both terms have been around for at least three hundred and fifty years...

Botanical: Of or relating to botany, or the biological characteristics and attributes of the plants with which it is concerned. (1627)

I wonder if the centers of cities are hotter now that they are all pavement and buildings than they were when they were grasslands or forests?

Could this contribute to warming?

Could warmer cities even cause us to overestimate the current temperature because the temperature 100 years ago on a prairie was less than the temperature today in a parking lot?
They would get paid slightly less though, since the premium revenue split is based on watchtime IIRC.
The really shitty thing is they knew early on the O-rings were slipping and partially extruding themselves, which wasn't part of the original design. They shrugged and ignored this, which then opened the door for disaster when the O-rings behaved differently (and still wrong) when cold. If they had pumped the brakes when the initial deviation from the design was discovered, it wouldn't have ended in disaster.

Yes it is fuzzy, the point being is that most people assume sandboxes are some form of default deny.

With containers, there is a responsibility for both the instantiation and the container image to ensure that isolation happens.

That is why I hesitate to consider them equal as the responsibilities are different.
Previously everything was explicitly in your code. Now everything is done with "magic" outside your code. You're saying that this is better because now I "don't have to think about it". But I do! When something doesn't work, you have to figure it out. It's easier to debug code that you can see and reason with, and more difficult to debug a black box that behaves in mysterious and unexplainable ways.

What you're probably thinking is "it's faster to write a TODO example app with hooks". That's not really relevant for actual software development.

It seems that framework creators are constantly making tradeoffs where they are making the easy things easier at the expense of making the hard things harder. That's the wrong tradeoff to make.
