Can you fork it? If so it's open source, if not, it's not.

There's no subjectivity for you to have an opinion differently.

And yes, the authors are free to run their project any way they want. You are free to not interact with them if you don't want, and since they published the code, you are also free to fork it.

Open core is an incredibly hard model to get right. Make your code too free, and you are at the risk of being pushed off the market by some large player that doesn't need to invest on it; make your code too closed and you'll become an asshole and your customers will go away. Often the margin here is negative, and both too free and too close intersect instead of having some space between them.
Im not sure why somebody would cite a failed replication unless they’re doing a lit review or meta analysis. Most would just stop citing the refuted paper to save word/citation counts.

so rather than compare total number of citations, you want to see that:

- citations per year drop once refuted

- if citations continue after refutation, they co-occur with the refutation study
There is an interesting dividing line between prompts people care if they are leaked and prompts they don’t. It subdivides into A: “prompts I don’t want anyone to know I asked”, B: “prompts that would leak IP if leaked”, C: “I need to ask in places with no internet” and maybe other categories. Something tells me the the open models will split between catering to users that do A or B or C. The rest will be majorly going to the best subscription models.
If they don't know your username they can't offer a service. Hence zero knowledge services cannot exist based on your line of argumentation.

I feel you are being disingenuous though and you perfectly know what is commonly referred to as "zero knowledge", and specifically that the critical point is always "what does the zero knowledge applies to?".

Proton sees your IP, your login, email headers, for example. They don't know your email body and can't hand it over.
> only enterprises care about SSO.

Well that's just fundamentally not true any longer with OIDC. There are even simple OIDC auth plugins for reverse proxies now. It's what I consider a fairly basic feature in this day and age and it's a shame every time it's disregard as simply an enterprise feature

You might have an argument with saml, because it's a right pain, but not OIDC
I’ve just tried with ChatGPT on iOS, you can press stop then immediately respond while the AI is still generating the response.
Problem: They want someone else to maintain this feature long-term.
I think that’s kinda the point I am trying to make.
"Slashed circle" is the most succinct description I can come up with. To me, "bar" suggests a horizontal line, like a capital-Theta Θ
I was completely with you until this part:

> I think . . . the company can (and arguably should) fire people who hold views in conflict with the mission

Obviously, in the US, a company is allowed to fire employees for any non-prohibited reason or for no reason at all. But I strongly disagree that a company should fire people who hold views in conflict with the mission of the company. They should only fire them if they act on those views or otherwise do not work to support the company's mission.

It's not a fine distinction. It's totally OK to hold your nose and work to support a mission that you don't necessarily personally agree with. I don't think that should be cause for termination.
How to lead projects as a software engineer
Given the typical length and character set of email addresses, 'reversing' the hash can be considered trivial.
There’s no reason this couldn’t be implemented now. The main barriers are inference speed and cost, since to implement this would require continuously running the LLM on all newly available text from the user and choosing quickly when to interject, and the difficulty of programming complex behaviour.
You mean this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_speed_sign ?
I agree, but I think you're overestimating the difficulty of producing something edible. Not good, but edible.
Yeah, pedantic attacks like this just end up trolling the conversation rather than helping it.
Wouldn’t this be bad for marketing reasons? If people see the LLM output just instantly changes with each word or character they type it would cease to appear as some kind of “intelligence” and just feel like nothing more than a glorified autosuggest? Tweak a few words here and there to try to modify the output in subtle ways?

It seems for people to perceive it as true AI they must send off some prompt, watch it think deep while a loader spins, and then read a response.
Just discovered.

Perpetual license - nice. I do not buy software subscriptions for my development tools. Only perpetual. In cases like Postman - sure I'll take free version but I was holding off from doing anything serious with it.

All data local only - even nicer.

Ported couple of requests from Postman. All works.

Congrats. Unless I hit some stones during testing I will be buying license when available

Most likely Postman will go to trash bin very soon
Who said hidden defect?
Ask HN: How to easily benchmark LLM without elaborate setup?
Is there a service that allows for various LLMs (I am mainly interested in completion APIs), open sourced or paid, to be called on a per token pricing (i.e no infra setup) ? Anyone looking into providing a wrapper for all LLMs essentially ?
The other more effective, more liberal option is persuasion.

This is something MLK understood.
> Just accept the grief and venting

Maintainers do not owe you this, in addition to maintaining the software that you can use for free. You're entitled to be upset, and they're just as entitled to say "please go somewhere else to vent, we're busy".
Used to be that way. I feel like a carton of eggs is exorbitant these days.
I think you are confusing two different things. Open core just means the “core” if the project is open source (with a real open source license) while some other parts aren’t. You might be confusing it with the notion of “source available”, or the BSL and similar licenses.
One of the big breakthroughs was techniques to modify the mRNA to increase stability and resulting protein production. So it is somewhat predictable.
This is purely a developer kit, letting people get used to the hardware configuration and the software stacks before the big hardware comes later in future generations.

I'd like to know what different precisions/ quantizations if any are supported. For LLMs 8GB is fine for playing around if weights are quantized. And as the article mentions it's more than enough for lots of computer vision models.
That isn't an argument that Capitalism is good, or better. In Capitalism, if you don't work, you don't eat. So finding a quote about communism that says same thing, is not making any point that one is better or worse.

The difference is in Communism, there should always be 'some work'. If you are willing to work, there is work. Even if it is some public works project.

In Capitalism, maybe not. Nobody is looking out for you. If you don't have the skills for what is in demand right now, then so sorry, go ahead and die.
That’s a fair critique and I don’t think I disagree.
See, you've got that backwards. If your government makes specific political beliefs illegal, and sends you to jail for expressing them, then you are not free.
This is an issue with using citations has the measure of everything. If I am writing a paper and mention a particular study that failed to replicate in subsequent attempts, I still cite the original paper. It is understandable that a seminal or surprising study gets cited well after it is refuted. Take for example Jaeggi's studies that claimed Working Memory training increases IQ...a claim shown to not replicate in countless follow-ups. I myself have cited a number of her papers, right before I also cite the contradictory evidence. I would expect similar patterns in other papers. A citation isn't an endorsement of the findings, but rather an acknowledgement that a piece of work is worth mentioning, whether it be in a good, or bad, light.

An alternative to GoogleScholar is Research Rabbit, an AI enabled platform that maps the networks between paper allowing for an author to see who cited the paper they intend to cite, who did the original paper cite etc etc.
Do you realize you can determine this for yourself, right now?

By just taking standard equations found in textbooks, plugging in some numbers, and realizing that things such as Ideal Gas Law don't hold at such scales.

You can even derive the equations for yourself to confirm your not being misled by the textbooks, but that takes more skill and knowledge then is likely feasible to acquire without advanced study.
It's also very possible that 99 cents is substantially below cost and the supermarket just wants a loss leader and/or to clear inventory.
Presumably you’d choose a long localpart for the recovery address. Proton could even require that.
Working at a very small place in house QA was absolutely impactful in being subject matter experts on what the software actually did and was supposed to do. I am not sure how you measure that.
It is absolutely unconscionable that "peer review" process doesn't include "review". Replicating results should be a hard requirement for publishing a conclusion. Anything short is merely a hypothesis with some suggestive evidence, a conjecture. Imagine if mathematicians cited published conjectures but called the proven results.
It also demonstrates that the popularity of a paper is in large part marketing. The original papers are simply better marketed than the corrections.
Compound Inflation, the less talked about sibling of Compound Interest.

A few percent doesn't sound much, until you think about how those percentages accumulate over several/many years.
In this case I was using guilty in its common English usage, and not the specific American Jurisprudence usage.
That’s a bit hyperbolic, its trivial to hard boil some eggs, and there are a number of similarly simple dishes that you’re not going to need to retry a bunch.
This used to be true, but a lot of pricing is automated now, based on location, pricing of similar products, etc etc. it’s also still somewhat in its infancy.

Remember way back when high frequency trading was first a thing, you’d hear stories about some HFT houses cranking up the prices of some little penny stock on the basis their algorithms saw the price go up and then jumped in, causing some kind of feedback loop?

I think that’s exactly what’s going on now, only at a pace more in line with merchandise pricing (over weeks rather than milliseconds).
>>Because the best result isn't going to be from draconian punishments for CEOs.

Why do you bring "draconian" punishment? Is punishment always draconian? Are the best results observed in places where crimes are not punished? Could you provide references to research that confirms this?
Or your worries that punishments should not apply to CEOs?
Lots of people predicted the shuttle winding down before it ever started.

The main purpose of repeatedly launching astronauts into low earth orbit was to make work for NASA. The main takeaway was that it is dangerous and outrageously expensive. It's no secret that the most expensive and ridiculous way to achieve anything in space is to send people.

And there is still no good justification for doing it.
What do you think “processed food” is?
When everything is an unregulated monopoly, those companies can set prices however they want.
Your interpretation of my comment is wrong. I didn’t say you shouldn’t make certain powers your enemies. I said you need to prepare adequately.
Your country isn’t famous for protecting citizens privacy, on the contrary.
CBD on the other hand in "mid range" doses decreases REM sleep latency and (any dose?) also decreases REM sleep suppression related to anxiety. This is something that I imagine needs more study, as there is a huge variability in THC to CBD ratios in legally available cannabis.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8116407

Although most recreational cannabis is high THC : low CBD, there is ever-growing demand for more balanced strains. There's no telling what the average looks like in black and grey markets (although high THC is certainly the default assumption given its intoxicating effects). Before we make blanket statements about the impact of cannabis on sleep, we should probably seek to answer questions like, what is the overall impact on REM sleep with cannabis that has a 4:1 ratio of THC to CBD or lower?
Source-available is not open source. Which situation are you describing? A traditional open source project, with a traditional open source license, still won’t tend to allow people carte blanche access to things like e.g. trademarks. Otherwise, your rights tend to be fairly equal to that of an open-core project .
People are surprised by this because Proton does the best it can to hide what information they actually have that isn't E2EE. Especially if you want to use it as a regular email service as a form of "privacy" (just read https://proton.me/mail/security if you want to see how misleading they're trying to be. "Strong encryption at all times" *except when there isn't).

They need a page like this to explain what exactly is E2EE and what isn't: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102651
Jesse Singal is another biased reporter on trans issues. Maybe cis people should trust trans people to know what we need rather than undermining us from an outsider perspective that has no understanding.

You're defending these two people, so I'll ask... do you believe trans people exist? if so, do you believe we should be allowed to determine our own needs and care?
My family and friends primarily use iMessage group threads as social media. There's also a lot of location sharing via Apple.

It's difficult to get most people to switch to something else and impossible to get old people to do it.
We can test this hypothesis by looking at the profits of publicly traded companies.
Unlikely. Sun had NSElite in the 80s. BitKeeper and Teamware were available in the 90s. Somebody would make an open source version at some point.
The opposite could be true like in Canada where a Loblaws lobbyist is the campaign manager for the Conservative party and Loblaws keeps jacking up prices on everything.

S3 is better for large datasets. It's cheaper and handles large file sizes with ease.

It has become a de-facto standard for distributed, data-intensive workloads like those common with spark.

A key benefit is decoupling the data from the compute so that they can scale independently. EBS is tightly coupled to iops and you pay extra for that.

Ask HN: What's it like to work at OpenAI?
Employer review sites seem to suffer from survivor biases, I’m curious for hot takes from strangers on the internet (because that is so much more reliable)

I’m curious what collaboration is like between teams, how much Eng is expected to be on call, quality vs velocity trade off, etc.
The problem is collusion. Not “the heads of the two companies call each other and cackle while they bathe in pools of money” collusion, but soft collusion where their pricing models aim for profit over sales numbers.
You're not wrong, but this was my normal breakfast (and I skipped lunch) at university 20 years ago:

(Plus a bit of dried fruit, but I'm not sure how much, this far removed).

That's just two full bowls. Dinner was usually just one pack of instant noodles from Lidl.

At the time, this cost me about £0.50/day.
Buying those lectures from him is quite a journey. The most difficult internet sale I have ever made. Very manual process.

The nitrite is probably the most objectionable part? Linked to colon/stomach cancer iirc.

My non-expert impression is that there’s a growing body of research that suggests that preservatives generally aren’t great for your gut microbiome. Which kind of makes sense, they’re meant to kill microbiota that would be eating your food before you do, it seems likely that it’d put selective pressure on those in your gut once you eat it, and maybe the ones that are most adapted to surviving that aren’t the ones you want a lot of.

Writing this out made me think immediately of speculative execution.

Interjection, similarly, saves "conversation cycles," by speculating about the future of a conversation and computing a response which occurs in the most likely branch.

When the branching point comes, that's the interjection. It's either successful (moves the conversation forward) or fails (wastes time when the branch is not predicted properly).
Actually this is how it's supposed to work. Because the focus is on capital the feedback loop that reigns them in happens too late to penalize and bring change. Gov really needs to create a mechanism where the feedback loop happens before lives are affected in critical industries. We will see if they get the point.

How did this play out in the last 9 years? Anyone able to assess?

Clearly the points in the article are still meaningful for understanding the tradeoffs in database architecture. But it’s also not clear to me that the take “build a custom storage layer instead of trying to generalize” won either. It’s a big cookie to eat for even a medium sized company. And it’s been a very active space, so it’s not for a lack of trying.

As a curious bystander, it seems the gold medalist in databases,
– despite its crippling web scale shortcomings – is Postgres, even more so today than a decade ago. It seems at least nobody has slapped some consensus/distributed tech onto it and built an obviously superior product. Similarly, the noSQL slash weakly consistent horizontally “web-scalable” relational databases seem to have grown in a different direction - towards analytics, telemetry, fraud detection - ie nobody wants to put their core source-of-truth business data there if they can avoid it.

I’m probably a terrible person to “check the pulse” on the industry though. Maybe someone with real experience can chime in?
Definitely yes, if you've a Mac with 8GB RAM. And possibly even with 16GB.

Heaven help you if swapping significantly degrades the irreplaceable persistent storage.
This is a longer conversation not fit for HN. The very quick response is 10/7 was a brutal massacre of civilians - the goal being to torture, rape, and kill regular people including and especially women and children (of which many are still held hostage).

This is going to have a military response independent of any country (imagine Mexico doing this across the border to a town in Texas).

Civilians will die in war despite best efforts, but war is sometimes necessary and justified, especially when dealing with ideas of jihad not compatible with western society.

The response celebrating 10/7 in a lot of the western progressive circles on 10/8 was before Israel had even organized a response.

The history here is complicated, and people can have different views - but whatever your views there, this kind of intentional targeting of civilians is not justifiable.

There’s a distinction between civilians killed in war despite best efforts to avoid non-combatant deaths and specifically targeting civilians to torture and kill. The moral confusion comes from not understanding that or drawing a false equivalence.

Hamas also understands Israel has a higher moral standard and does not want to kill civilians - it’s why they use hospitals and schools as bases and to store arms.

If Hamas laid down their arms there would be peace, if Israel did the same we saw on 10/7 what would happen. Some ideas require total military defeat. It was necessary in WWII and we now live in peace with those countries

The focus on the response when the aggressors have not even released all of the hostages is a clear example of this confusion too.
I'd prefer a UX where if I start typing, the chatbot immediately stops talking, with a play button which I can use to let it finish predicting whatever it was on about.

It's a small tweak, but it would be a significant improvement. Especially when I'm trying to type multi-line input and forget to hit Shift-Enter: there's this immediate context switch to get to the mouse and hit a small button, when what I want to do is just keep typing. Normally that would mean the bot wouldn't even start replying before the pause signal gets sent to it.
They're still continuing to have a lifetime license option, it's just going up in price.

If I would try to do something against American interests, US law would be the last thing I would care about. I have more faith in German or Swiss law regarding privacy and if that’s not enough, keeping data in Russian or Chinese jurisdiction in that specific case would make more sense.
There is some misinformation in this article. For instance, Snowflake absolutely supports transactions for most operations, DML operations always occur in a single transaction but any INSERT, UPDATE, SELECT, etc can absolutely be lumoed with other operations in a single transaction safely.
No, they were just the domain registrar.
Diversion but OK. Processed is anything that requires prep work outside of eating it off a tree or killing a animal and eating it raw.

So I answered your question. Can you answer mine?
Paper is a technology. This systemic social problem around paper has the quirks that it does because paper has limitations (you can't add highlights and margin notes after you've given it to somebody else).

If we stop replicating those limitations, it's not unreasonable to expect that the social problem will change also.

I don't think the answer is search engines in the traditional sense, but we probably do need something that knows how to search. If whatever we use to view research were to display warnings wherever a retracted citation was viewed (or whenever one the citations' citations were retracted...), similarly to how we display SSL certificate expiry warnings in a browser, I think that would create a dampening effect on the momentum that a retracted paper can have.

"Retracted" probably isn't the only color we'd want here. "Replicated" might be another. My point is that summoning up-to-date metadata on a something published last year should just be the default view mode, not something you have to ask a grad student to go do.

Knowledge graphs, not dead trees.
