As I understand it, you can access them for free with your own equipment, or rent the gear, or go with a guide. Most tourists are going to go with a guide at least the first time and probably rent gear afterwards. They might ask for donations for the maintenance, although generally I think that's paid from the equipment rental/tour income, subsidizing it for people going on their own.

$200 sounds about what you'd pay for a guided tour (gear included) in Switzerland.

"Beat Saber" can be quite the workout, too. Ditto "Rock Band" if you have a proper e-drum kit.
I'm surprised such an important legal issue here is based on the definition of "AGI", seems really hard to define (I really think the concept is flawed). Does this consider that "most economically valuable work" is physical? And more importantly, with such money on the line, no one will agree on when AGI is attained.
Show HN: Replay your typing in a few lines of JavaScript
I recently needed to make a text appear on a website and I wanted to get this real human feeling that computers don't have. I only found the TypeIt lib but it was not free and I didn't want to add a dependency for such a simple case.

Human replay allows to copy paste a few lines of JS to make a text appear exactly how you typed it.
It's very far off, like "not even wrong" in the Pauli sense of the phrase.

There's a lot of abstractions one can have for this stuff, I think you're looking at that "text predictor" is one of them?

If you roll with that, then you're in a position where you're saying GPT-2 class LLMs were very close in 1960, because at the end of the day, it's just a dictionary lookup with a string key and a value of list<string> completions. That confuses instead of illuminates.
The tax advantage still exists for the investors.
When I renovated my old house I had the 1890s windows refurbished. To accomplish this, a carpenter cut the windows in half, replaced the glass with double pane glass and laminated it back together. I had new sash weights fabricated to compensate for the added weight. This was definitely more expensive than a rip and replace, but we were able to save about 90% of the original woodwork. Sills were replaced with synthetic because it was the best way to prevent water intrusion.
Social status is not about deciding with whom to allocate your time, and people don't generally choose how they allocate time based on how many hours of labor someone else does nor do most people labor to get other people to allocate more time with them. Indeed, people generally spend time apart from the people they want to allocate their time to in order to labor.
This is good news. OpenAI's recent decision to dive into the secretive military contracting world makes a mockery of all its PR about alignment and safety. Using AI to develop targeted assassination lists based on ML algorithms (as was and is being done in Gaza) is obviously 'unsafe and unethical' use of the technology:

That matches my observations. I believe that WebP lossy does not add value when Jpegli is an option and is having hard time to compete even with MozJPEG.
The cynic in me believes this is motivated by not Musk's love for the "mission", but by xAI, his attempt to build OpenAI's competitor. I'm guessing this is just a way to weaken a competitor.
no that is not the test for nonprofit status
SpruceID (YC W21) | Full REMOTE | Multiple Roles | Full-Time | spruceid.com

Spruce lets users control their data across the web. We are creating the world’s best open source software for user-centric digital identity. Instead of users logging into platforms, we think platforms should request to access data vaults controlled by users.

We hire programmers who love technology and are committed to intellectual honesty, user privacy, and innovation. Our products are composed from a combination of industry-trusted frameworks, applied cryptography, new interoperable identity standards (W3C, ISO/IEC, IETF, and OpenID), and custom backend libraries.

Select roles:

Senior Technical Product Manager: Help drive the growth of a new product family which empowers government agencies and enterprises to manage the entire lifecycle of digital credentials for a wide range of use cases. This role will be responsible for collaborating on product vision, roadmap, user stories, timelines, and implementation strategy.

Software Engineer, Android: Build software prototypes and product features from start to finish for Android, embedding our Rust core.

Non-zero chances don't deserve the hype AGI is receiving, is the issue.

> It's trivially easy to find a real-world situation where conservation of energy does not hold (any system with friction, which is basically all of them)

Conservation of energy absolutely still holds, but entropy is not conserved so the process is irreversible. If your model doesn't include heat, then discrete energy won't be conserved in a process that produces heat, but that's your modeling choice, not a statement about physics. It is common to model such processes using a dissipation potential.
Are you one of those people? how can you be so confident? I think everyone should have updated their priors after how surprising the emergent behavior in GPT3+ are
LLM-generated docs are usually worthless

Absolutely the right decision. A very transparent attempt at control. He who owns the platform owns the kingdom.
Question: If they removed the 5th work day and the same amount of work got done, then management can say that basically the employees were slacking off for a day a week.

And if so, what's stopping them next to increase it back to 5 and chase 5 days worth of productivity out of 5 days/week instead of the previous 4 using the same efficiency gains as performance benchmarks of the 4 days/week?
The punchline is inside the article:

> We at Johnny’s Software Lab LLC are experts in performance.

Comment not intended to come across as snidey, just tickled me a bit after reading yours and clicking the archive link.
But it keeps the intangible benefits it accrued by being ostensibly non-profit, and that can easily be worth the money paid in taxes.

Otherwise, why do you think OpenAI is doing it?
Eh? That's not the argument. The argument is that an FT editor couldn't keep his mouth shut ~and was complicit in insider trading.~

The other (baseless) accusations you're talking about (and that led BaFin to investigate the FT) are extensively covered in the book.

Edit: Not sure it was insider trading, or illegal. Just probably not in line with FT standards.
"Tone wood" improving electric guitar sound is a myth
OK, I admit to being (more than) a bit overzealous on that point. Still, peace has existed within the borders of the EU and its predecessors since the formation of the ECSC (one of the EU’s predecessors) in 1951.

Even if you disregard that point, though, the overarching point of my comment still stands.
This is what Keynes predicted might happen - https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/ecca.12439#...

That article notes most people can't make enough money from 15 hours of work to save up for retirement. I also wonder if "leisure" has to be redefined, since work and life blend so much online. What does 15 hours of work really mean in a knowledge work job?
I have some gripes with this group and their publications:

- They don't randomize pilots, so any effect you see is likely to be confounded

- In this publication, it appears there was ~50% attrition between the initial pilot and the follow-up study — again, a huge source of potential confounding

- As another example, in another publication, they showed a plot of GDP per capita against average working hours, and insinuated from the negative relationship that less working hours somehow made workers (causally) more productive, without even hinting at the obvious alternative explanation that people work less as they get more productive because they don't have to work as much to maintain standard of living.

I like that things like this are being tried, but I wish the research conducted on it were more intellectually honest and less obviously geared towards pursuing an agenda. The level of analysis here is more like a company marketing whitepaper than anything bordering on scientific.

Don't get me wrong, personally I think companies where it's feasible should just define minimum presence where the business needs it and leave it to employees where and when to do the work within those constraints depending on preferences and their situation. I don't have an axe to grind against working less (and in my circles it seems like many people are making this decision by reducing their workload to e.g. 80%, albeit at a corresponding salary cut). But the whole thing just seems a big disingenuous.
The only hammer at all left is Safari, basically on iPhones only.

That hammer is very close to going away; if the EU does force Apple to really open the browsers on the iPhone, everything will be Chrome as far as the eye can see in short order. And then we fully enter the chromE6 phase.
Are you referring to FedNow? It’s a new system for instant payments between U.S. banks. And it was developed with a mandate from the Federal Reserve.
Great callout for unionizing. Because corporations would extract as much from workers as they could without boundaries. Labor law modifications will help as well, but that takes longer as you wait for old political and business leaders to age out (and take their work ideas with them).

The problem with all the "Sam was bad" scenarios I've seen is: why did all the replacement CEOs chosen by the board side with Sam instead of the board?

My pet conspiracy theory on this is that members of the board were blackmailed by someone who wanted Sam gone, didn't want to admit whatever the embarrassing secret was, were therefore unable to give a convincing explanation to any of their chosen replacement CEOs.

But even I don't take this seriously, it's merely the only story I've got that doesn't seem to contradict any of the observed actions.

This may be more about the indexing strategy than the hash function. Meaning: once we have the hash(es), how do we decide what index to use for the key?

Open-addressing schemes like linear probing, quadratic probing, certain variants of Robinhood hashing (which is kind of on a different axis anyway) commonly have 50–70% expected space efficiency. Performance is bad above 90%.

But Cuckoo hash tables can get above 90% with great lookup performance (non-amortized constant time) and decent insert performance. Insert performance tends to suffer closer to 100%.

Whether or not cuckoo hash tables qualify as “open addressing” will depend on the implementation, but the main point is that the addressing/indexing strategy mainly determines the operable “load factor” of the hash table.

This is a great article on open addressing schemes (including cuckoo):

Assuming the websites are using images of appropriate dimensions (that is, not using huge images and relying on browser downscaling, which is a bad practice in any case), you can quite easily do the math. A 1080p screen is about 2 megapixels, a 4K screen is about 8 megapixels. If your images decode at 50 Mpx/s, that's 25 full screens (or 6 full screens at 4K) per second. You need to scroll quite quickly and have a quite good internet connection before decode speed will become a major issue, whether for UX or for battery life. Much more likely, the main issue will be the transfer time of the images.
Is this true in NH/ME/VT as well? I see western MA in your article. (btw it's cool thanks for sharing)
Sounds like some of the trendy analogy computing approaches, like this one for example:

I don't believe non-profits can have investors, only donors i.e an investor by definition expects money out of his investment which he can never get out of a non-profit

only the for-profit entity of the OpenAI can have investors, who don't get any tax advantage when they eventually want to cash out

Softmax gives rise to translation symmetry, batch normalization to scale symmetry, homogeneous activations to rescale symmetry. Each of those induce their own learning invariants through training.
The feature maze isn't too bad if you only care about running on modern-ish AMD and Nvidia hardware with their official drivers, most things you'd typically want are implemented in portable extensions supported by both, but god help you if you're writing Vulkan for mobile.
The relevant update:

UPDATE: Previously, Apple announced plans to remove the Home Screen web apps capability in the EU as part of our efforts to comply with the DMA. The need to remove the capability was informed by the complex security and privacy concerns associated with web apps to support alternative browser engines that would require building a new integration architecture that does not currently exist in iOS.
We have received requests to continue to offer support for Home Screen web apps in iOS, therefore we will continue to offer the existing Home Screen web apps capability in the EU. This support means Home Screen web apps continue to be built directly on WebKit and its security architecture, and align with the security and privacy model for native apps on iOS.
Developers and users who may have been impacted by the removal of Home Screen web apps in the beta release of iOS in the EU can expect the return of the existing functionality for Home Screen web apps with the availability of iOS 17.4 in early March.

OpenAI was a 501C3. This meant donors could give money to it and receive tax benefits. The advantage is in the unique way it can reduce the funders tax bill.
I'm not so sure about that. People understand the structures of stars very well, the same methods ought to work for planets, at least somewhat. Going there looks very hard but remote observations are rapidly improving.
Often with this kind of pareto it can be argued that even when continuous decisions are not available, a compression system could keep choosing every second at effort 7 and every second at effort 6 (or any ratio), leading, on the average interpolated results. Naturally such interpolation does not produce straight lines in log space.
