Deeply disturbing for a number of reasons ... but also self-inflicted.

I have been a reader of Naked Capitalism since 2008 and it is ironic that google flagged it with that collection of tags: NC is generally left-leaning and progressive and the host (Yves) generally espouses views that are the opposite of what you think when you see those tags ...

... but the healthy and stimulating discussion that ensues would, I suspect, confound a dumb classifier/parser.

Again, ironic.

I believe this is self inflicted because the site - and the publisher - are dependent on ad revenue. I have contributed financially to the site in the past but it seems not many others do and so they are at the mercy of the ad network and whatever constraints come along with that.

I'm going to make another donation today but the problem will persist until she can find a way to divorce herself - and her site - from the ad network.
Ah sorry looking into it now
Even ignoring renewables, internal combustion is way less efficient than electric motors, so it’s still a net win for EVs.
Linkages were out when electronic stability control was introduced.
Oh, that's just Russian sleeper cell sabotage, that's nothing personal. Don't mention it
On that note, the P14s is basically a T14 with slightly beefier options. I wish there was an X1 with AMD, but that is never going to happen.
React can be used fine for static pages. That's orthogonal.
I just got a Mercedes EQB and it's great. Depending on trim it's either about the same price or somewhat cheaper than a Model X. There are physical controls for damn near everything too. The voice assistant isn't terrible, but Carplay/Android Auto is standard anyway so who cares.

Also his name, said aloud, is a tautology. France is French.
Because there are real nomads, people without any address that run into all sorts of legal difficulties, difficulties that are belittled when people write about how easy it is to live on a train 24/7. Some are "homeless" others are from cultural groups that roam. And a large number are children in government care who then must transition to adult life sometimes without the convenience of a fixed mailing address. Our systems of government and assistance are still based on legal residency at a particular point on the map. Despite all the stories about mobile professionals working wherever the please, this is a privilege enjoyed by those who retain fixed support infrastructures to which can return as needed.

Look at the "Van life" trend. The people are forced to live in their cars/vans really do not appreciate those who glamorize it. It is not an easy thing.
It's a hybrid of lisp and prolog.
Another doc site that uses .md. Unfortunately md doesn't do a few things you want from a complex documentation (good and easy for small documents, but not powerful enough for complex projects). Things like deep linking into a different document rarely work.
Writing a prompt with sufficient detail to generate the "correct" code is not a priori easier than just writing the code! There's no logical reason to think it should.

Most genAI users intuitively known this and attempt to strike a balance between prompt engineering and traditional debugging techniques. Which suggest to me that, if anything, knowledge is even more critical since you're now describing the problem precisely in a natural language (hard!) and debugging/editing/reading code written by someone else (even harder!).
The Heritage Foundation & WSJ are both the tip of the spear, driving agenda to let big businesses do whatever they want. Even if America was clearly #1 in corporate freedom, they would never say so; their reason for existence is to commit America to letting big business be less regulated and you only can sell that by making our present stance look moderate or insufficient.
How is this different from the "tree" command?
Heh, to some extent, this is what I did. School was easy (low standard of eduction), school life was boring (team sports or nothing), so I found something that interested me. I learned to juggle, amongst other things. Got decent, then learned to perform.

I performed most friday and saturday night in late highschool, assorted gigs I got through contacts or from audience members. Graduated school, worked long enough to build some savings and buy a flight to Europe, and hit the road with a backpack.

I stuck with it on my return for a while, but ended up leaving it for 'normal' career.

EULA permits the companies to have grounds to take someone to court. Their choice to prosecute. It's a reserved right more so than one that they use 100%.

In this case translating CUDA can allow AMD to chip away at NVidia's market share.
That's difficult to believe to be honest. I get it several times a week.

It's a good question, I don't know why you're downvoted.

Because the synchronization protocol (backed by Git) is operating in the background, web frontends are always just querying local data, so it's actually quite fast. You can try browsing the linked repository and see for yourself.
That is censorship. Sometimes large businesses remove their advertising from a paper publication because they disagree with the reporting. When that happens, the whole industry rightfully calls it censorship and abuse.

> If Google is paying you to run their ads, you're their piper, and you play the tunes they call.

You just described censorship in crystal clear terms.
I have been using the 2016 X1 Carbon for 8 years now, shame the 2015 was a dud and you missed it by a year.

Hey looked into this error, Porter was not processed by us yet, it does take a while for a repo to be processed initially but this link should give you the progress report + you can chat with it when its done:

NVIDIA doesn’t have the authority to do that. There’s no NVIDIA SDK involved here.
Presumably if you have a private repo, they need permission to read it.
You can be an atheist, but if you think religion is "obviously make-believe" than you're just being dishonest. The majority of the greatest minds to ever live were religious. You don't gain any IQ points by dismissing it altogether.
How does it compare with something like Bloop, which also uses a combination of a syntax tree, Embeddings, FTS and LLMs?
Perfect example of the guilt-tripping crap seen in infosec.

Where I come from, when you say if you do X, I'll pay you Y, it's unethical and a tort NOT to pay Y if you do X.

You can do whatever contortions around 3rd parties (users). As long as the exploit vendor doesn't say they're doing anything illegal, I'm in the clear. I've had 1 vendor say that they were engaging in illegal activities, and refused to sell.

Again, some may want to auction to highest bidder. Whereas I just like to eat.

The companies are the ultimate unethical entities here, that summarily made everyone else look bad, all the while they're hitting users and saying "quit making us hit users!"
The complication is that most CUDA apps you would want to run on ZLUDA contain first-party libraries provided by Nvidia (e.g. cuDNN) which may have restrictive license terms saying you're not allowed to run them on a third-party runtime. ZLUDA itself may be legally in the clear as a cleanroom reimplementation free of Nvidia code, but it's not so clear-cut for the users of ZLUDA.
Zipcar is still around in Boston.
While I agree with the message, the phrasing is overly aggressive against tech workers "bros". I don't get what they're trying to achieve here.
That's actually one of the best points in here. They didn't make any money or valuation over their funding. Really? You couldn't make a gambling site for less than $400M? Maybe 2500 years of human labor at 150k / yr? Really?

Their sale was a 16% increase on their investment rounds. They soaked up half a billion in investment, and then got almost no return or "value added."

Almost as dumb as that $500 million tomato farm that couldn't grow tomatoes. (had to check, AppHarvest)
Not if the person being sued never “signed” the EULA.
No reason to allow people on the platform if you can't monetise them, especially after monetisation has been paused for a few hours
I assume it saves battery. You don't really need a super high refresh rate if you're doing things like staring at static text.

I imagine the person responding to my initial comment just didn't realize it was a VC-backed business rather than a regular FOSS project. The repo readme doesn't seem to indicate otherwise, so I can see why they'd have gotten that impression.
If your business only exists at the sole discretion of Meta then it's not a viable business, at least not in the longterm.
Seems likely. TikTok and YouTube are currently working for me, while Meta platforms aren't.
Anyway to sign up for newsletter updated for when that happens? I’d be very keen to check this out once that feature lands.

Just like we spent 50+ years preventing nuclear energy rollout to save the earth (and/or prop up fossil fuel usage by total coincidence).
> the model became way more cautious than we intended and refused to answer certain prompts entirely — wrongly interpreting some very anodyne prompts as sensitive

Sounds like the same effect they've had on society ;D
It's only slightly better than "my mom claims". My mom would ask if I had the internet at my house. Yup. all of it. in a rack in my bedroom closet. She'd also report the "internet is down" when a single website was having issues. To me, that is down detector carrying on the legacy of moms everywhere.
at first i thought you meant corobo's nas was honking gigantic, but i think i misunderstood your intention

i think you are talking about lasse stolley rather than corobo

is that correct

if i understand correctly, stolley's €830/month includes not just lodging but also food, computer parts, hosting, and transportation. i spend less than that but that's because i live in argentina
This is almost identical to Oracle vs Google re: using JVM bytecode.
Soooo the tech will never be deleted and people don't understand this so we make sure its illegal enough that people just do it more privatly?

I still think this is great: 1. twitter and all other normal websites should adhere to youth proteciton, which includes porn 2. possible denyability

We are not even able to make it illegal for shitty scam ads, we will never be able to block ai deepfake porn too.
I think the idea is even in those 12 years, it's way more damaging than CO2 will be. Over 100 years, it is 28 times more damaging than C02, despite not being in the atmosphere for most of that time.

Plus doesn't it just break down into CO2 anyway, meaning that methane does its direct damage, plus creates more CO2.
Are you in this business or student/hobbyist? No one’s running anything on 6650XT. Gimme a break.
Never thought I would meet a sede on Hacker News of all places. You guys are nuts.
After reading the headline I thought this was about 'enhancing' slot machines and online casino games with AI to increase player retention/spending. But the article lists rather mundane usages of AI like providing additional data analytics for horse races or vague fig-leaves like 'detecting unhealthy addiction'.
> People overestimate how much power it takes to handle lots of queries per second on a well-tuned system and well-written software in 2024.

I wasn't overestimating anything, but with how easy it is to write concurrently software today, why limit your site to a single core.
> Taylor Swift is just one of countless victims of deepfake videos.

Ruined life?? Puleeze...
Generally error messages get watered down to nothingness because it gives news reporters less meat to chew on. Not knowing if its a "me or you" problem means that small problems might actually get missed and not need any PR response. Details won't leak and produce all kinds of speculation over the causes, etc.

>"Sorry, we're not able to serve your requests this quickly" is our little server process saying "help, I only have a single core and I'm out of breath here". If your account were rate limited it would say something like "You're posting too fast, please slow down."

dang, linked in one of the ancestor comments. But I still suspect you are correct.
It has false positives and noise for sure, but it's also very sensitive and shows issues very quickly.

I wouldn't trust it as a single source, but in a case like this where our internal monitoring shows a spike of issues with the Google APIs and we can see a huge spike in reported issues for Google on Downdetector starting at the same time, it's useful to confirm that the issues have an external source.

LOLLLL .. oh dear
You must have an exceptional neighborhood. Everywhere I lived, here's a handy map of "actual cause" :: "what the neighbors said it was"

Car exhaust :: gunshot
Appliance delivery truck liftgate :: gunshot
Transformer explosion :: gunshot
Garbage truck :: gunshot
787 at 25000ft :: complete ruining of peace and quiet
Any police activity :: probably someone robbed a bank

For the record, my city has (statistically indistinguishable from 0) homicides and bank robberies and, by American standards (I know, I know) no particular issues with gun crime.
Looks like the line between Data Scientist, ML Engineer, AI Engineer are blurred with the onset of LLMs/GenAI (especially if you were previously working on classical NLP).
Absolutely worth entering the domain, it's still day 0, but be prepared to keep yourself updated, unlearn things fast and pick up new tricks.

If that's already possible I think there's probably a huge marketing opportunity to break it out into a product and shout about it. I'd imagine there's a lot more people out there interested in that than this.
I get something like that when I try to comment and then upvote too quickly.

I think another kicker for carsharing at the time (~2020) was this forecasted revolution of driverless cars and robotaxis, which has sortof continued (waymo) but also collapsed (argo, cruise / tesla safety issues, etc. ) over the past couple years.

I liked carsharing from the stance that even if it didn't make me want to get rid of car ownership, it made me feel less inclined to invest as much into car ownership (i.e. keep an old used car with cheap insurance, use carsharing if my car needs maintenance or going on a trip where i dont want to worry about breaking down or if taking another mode of transit back.)

This line of thought kinda gets into the predicament of carsharing (and arguably rideshare/robotaxi) services owned by automotive companies - they're fairly deep in the business of selling cars much more than attempting a service business.
But did your grandparents really believe? What was different about the cultural situation that they lived in and yours? Or were they just a different kind of person who found it easier to believe?
> they can make up for it by increasing the density of ads in the next time window

Not only that but the bigger spenders will have more budget so the bidding after a large outage should return higher bids on average leading to increased profit per ad slot.
That webcam bump is horrendous, probably the worst possible feature to take from smartphone design. I always loved how my 2016 is so sleek, sure the lid has stress fractures near the hinge after 8 years, but it hasn't actually broken yet.

To determine its ability to disambiguate. And to test its sensitivity on safety.

Even Mixtral 8x7b running on my laptop correctly disambiguates.

That test is a heuristic for how likely I am to encounter the mistaken safety procedure.
That's not far off the same cost as to get to Glasgow from London, looking for tomorrow it's between £55 and £70. Significantly longer though for yourself, the train here is around 4 hours 45 mins (give or take). It's also generally close to on time, and we have delay repay for anything over 15 minutes.
Ask HN: Is Vim Dead?
It seems like most new-ish plugins only support NeoVim and Vim has been left behind. Also, Bram passed away not that long ago... it seems like Vim will fall further behind.

Is everyone moving to NeoVim?
Based on their hype banners, I was ready for a major overhaul, too. Or at least something obviously different about the login flow. It sure looks like somebody just clicked the left-align button and spit-shined the typeface a tiny bit.

Which, I guess, is the best possible redesign: one that freshens up without rocking the boat.

I don't think there is any real demand for high end LLM researchers/mathematitions etc. who would really build LLMs.

On the other hand, only a small amount of companies have the money, interest to actually at least finetune LLMs. They have their people already in place.

Than you have people who should integrate LLMs and tbh thats something everyone can do who was able to integrate any other api. I don't think there will be middle class companies looking for LLM experts.
I wonder how many kids got their start learning to get around that thing. It wasn't very good at what it did.
> Mill's Mess. Once you've mastered this, you've mastered 3 balls!

Ugh, no way. There's way more to three ball juggling than just Mills Mess (no apostrophe, his name was Steve Mills and it's not possessive but just a title).

Mills Mess is the start of learning that there's more to three ball juggling than just a couple of over the top throws, not the end of it.
Use yellow, brown and black mustard seed and vinegar at a ratio of 1:2 (seed:vinegar).

She used apple cider vinegar and soaked the seeds in a mason jar until they had all swelled so they would grind easily. This will take 2-3 days, maybe longer. Add more vinegar if it looks like it is being absorbed.

To grind, you will spoon this into the blender and you will probably need to add a couple more tablespoons of vinegar and about a 1/4 cup or so of water to smooth it out. Salt it to taste.

The grind is basically done to your personal taste.

It is shelf-stable. Enjoy!
Can you please share some that you consider to be good?
Could be! Hard to say, right?

I would tend to assume that the person’s motivation is less interesting to the researchers, and getting into it could distract from the research. Plus, who knows, maybe Germany just has really strict ethical and personal medical laws, so the researchers could just want to avoid that whole minefield.
I would guess for the same reason the government consistently buys $1000 hammers and $5000 toilet seats - to mask some military operation theyd rather not publicly report on.

There has been some work on training on lots of different data sets and then specializing on the one you care about. But I think people were trying that approach pre-2022 as well.

This isn't NV saying "you can't make ZLUDA," it's NV saying "you can't run our libraries like cuDNN, cuBLAS, cuBN on non-NV hardware."

While this kind of restriction still isn't legally cut and dry, it does come with tons of precedent, from IBM banning the use of their mainframe OSes in emulation to Apple only licensing OSX for use on Apple hardware.
The problem is that people use FB login for other sites, and if FB login is down, many users report a problem with that other site, not with FB.

The HVAC controls are a safety critical control because they are what dehumidifies your windshield screen.

And quick changes of T or RH needing the user to crank up the heat, turn on the AC and direct the air to the windshield at full speed are very possible depending on where you are.

Imagine crossing a miles long tunnel under a mountain separating two weather zones.

Hands off my HVAC controls.

>Facebook: global daily active users 2023.

So roughly 28% of the planet.
Uh huh in cases of "tragic or difficult circumstances, such as a nonviable pregnancy or in the event of severe foetal abnormalities. ... limited to the actions physicians would take in the event that a woman in those circumstances went into labour."

This is putting the scope of options available to emergency medicine doctors under the oversight of emergency medicine, rather than the additional scrutiny and oversight it currently gets as "abortion." This is not abortion as doctors understand it and I don't think as most lay users of the word do either.
"Blaming the pilots, or flatout stating that one design pholosophy is better than the other, is just ignorant."

I work with safety, I study it.
The Airbus was poorly designed. You want to have forcing functions in the hardware, not depend of operator training, the "software" in safety terminology.
Airbus should have had the proper design philosophy so that the forcing function was in the "hardware", eg, the yoke of Boeing.
The poor choice of having independent joysticks brought the plane down.
Not certain why the FAA, which does know better, approved of the Airbus design.
That alone is worthy of a study. Was it politics?

In summary, safety guidelines mandate putting safety in the "hardware" of real forcing functions and not "software" -- training. That is the reality. 447 crash occurred because of poor Airbus design and the FAA for approving this design that goes against safety principles.
