Oh oh was just gonna comment as well, but saw this! I think x86 has like pshufb for LUTs (used them like ages ago, but forgot now :() I think also some game (was it Spiderman) used loads of lookup tables.

The issue with LUTs is don't you have to update the LUT itself? You can select which memory address to load up, but the LUT itself has to be differentiable maybe? TBH I'm not an expert on LUTs.

On fixed point - similarly ye you have to fix the precision ranges as well, so again I'm unsure on how one changes the fixed point numbers over time. I'll have to read more on fixed point.

Maybe 1.58bit using (-1, 0, 1) which gets rid of multiplications and just additions might be more useful, although you'll only get a 2x FLOP boost since you still need fp8 or fp16 addition.
People really are just stacks of molecules that can be broken down into their causal properties - moreover, we know those causal properties to a high degree of accuracy these days.

I'm suggesting that for any given human/environment pair, there is a lookup table that produces that person's actual behaviour in that situation. Modern physics lets us approximate this lookup table, and presumably better physics would give us a better lookup table.

Since human behaviour can in principle be described with a lookup table, I see this as a bad reason to rule out a system as "thinking".

Perhaps there is another way to describe neural nets, one that does not use the language of lookup tables, that makes it feel more like thinking and less like lookups.

One such approach I've seen is looking for embedded world models in neural nets.
At the moment, Trangram does not support exporting SVG animation files.
By svg animation, I means Trangram internally handle all shapes as svg objects, just as you can edit the path data under geometry section and Trangram supports basic svg file import.
Yes, this is one view of machine learning, the idea that you are training some function to map input to output, similar to "looking up" what output is addressed by some input.

And that's why the concept of generalization is so important on machine learning, and as a consequence, why the internal representation of that "lookup" matters.

By definition a lookup table can only store data it is given. However, the idea of ML systems is actually to predict values of inputs that are similar to but not given in their training data.

Interpolation and extrapolation, key components to applying ML systems to new data and therefore critical for actual usage, are enabled by internal representations that allow for modeling the space between and around data points. It so happens that multilayer neural networks accomplish this by general and smoothed (due to regularization tricks and inductive biases) iterative warpings of the representation (embedding) space.

Due to the manifold hypothesis, we can interpret this as determining underlying and semantically meaningful subspaces, and unfolding them to perform generalized operations such as logical manipulations and drawing classification boundaries in some relatively smooth semantic space, then refolding things to drive some output representation (pixels, classes, etc.)

Another view on this is that these manipulations allow a kind of compression by optimizing the representation to make manipulations easier, in other words they re-express the data in a form that allows algorithmic evaluation of some input program. This gives the chance of modeling intrinsic relationships such as infinite sequences as vector programs. (Here I mean things like mathematical recursions, etc.) When this is accomplished, and it happens due to the pressure to optimally compress data, you could say that "understanding" emerges, and the result is a program that extrapolates to unseen values of such sequences. At this point you could say that while the input-output relationship is like a lookup table, functionally it is not the same thing because the need to compress these input-output relationships has led to some representation which allows for extrapolation, aka "intelligence" by some definitions.

The fact that these systems are still very dumb sometimes is simply due to not developing these representations as well as we would like them to, for a variety of reasons. But theoretically this is the idea behind why emergence might occur in an NN but not in a lookup table.
What do you mean? Could you elaborate please? Enumerate some deals so I could read more about it?
> Yep. Pretty much any kind of wear and tear part that is on an EV wears worse compared to a similarly powerful ICE.

Probably accurate if you exclude the brakes and ignore the fact that removing an ICE engine from consideration also removes nearly all the tricky bits that wear out on an ICE car.
we don’t care how the car is used. It’s the dealership that pays the fee on service manuals and access to tools, not the customer. The dealership can choose to pass the cost to customer but it doesn’t have to.

Can I suggest you consider using a headless CMS for this? Might save you from reinventing the wheel with Firebase. And usually the output is just some JSON or similar that you can then cache locally in each app.

Superb. Loving it.

I wish this was Open Source. I want to add quite a lot of pre-defined words that should come up more often than not. ;-)
I have to disagree, there's plenty to do and see in Pisa. While it can't compete with Florence, right next to the leaning tower the cathedral and the baptistery contain some of the earliest examples of renaissance sculpture, and the sinopia museum gives insight into the technology of fresco painting. There are also several other museums and churches scattered around the city center and the riverbank, worth to pop in even if you're just trying to escape the summer heat.

And as others mentioned, its airport and train station make it a convenient hub to explore the surrounding area, including Calci, Lucca, Cinque Terre, and Livorno.
That's why the authors recommend pipx for installing nvitop. I am not a sysadmin, but I prefer pipx over relying on the (often outdated) distro sources.

Yeah sure, the only thing that can save us is a utopia where food just magically appears and there's no fight over resources, right? We're always dependent (or in your words, "slaves") to the system that brings food to the table. Even if we're just growing it ourselves in a trade society. Maybe think a step ahead, will ya?

How much do they actually earn from these? The hardware is already paid for. All the effort to create and maintain the subscription system, and the loss of good will, all for the unknown number of people who would actually buy and keep on renewing it.

I think it is a net loss for all. Except the consultants who recommended this to get a monthly assured income, that will never materialise.

I think you're underestimating the amount of things built with nocode.

I don't think most people are building landing pages anymore by handwriting code anymore. Same with blogs (eg. Wordpress). There are MVPs of successful businesses that've been built by Bubble.io. Internal dashboards and such can definitely be built without code such as via Retool or Looker or whatever.

WYSIWYG obviously makes sense for frontend, but less so for backend. For backend code I don't really see how some visual drag and drop editor could make for a better interface than code. And even if it could, the advantage of code is that it's fully customizable (whereas with a GUI you're limited by the GUI), and text itself as a medium is uniform and portable (eg. easy to copy and paste anywhere).

Not to say that we can't create better interfaces than text, but I do think some sort of augmentation on top of a code editor is probably a more realistic short-term evolution, similar to VSCode plugins.

Simplicity of IRC (2022)
Ultimately the problem we care about is very simple, and there is no way to solve it, despite your claims.

Say we have a database of customers, with two replicas - one in the USA, one in Europe. Say a customer in Europe wants to update their shipping address. We ship products every month to this customer from the USA to their current shipping address, on the 10th of that month.

The customer is updating their address on the 9th at 10 AM PST. However, we are in the midst of a massive network partition that started on the 9th at 02 AM PST and is expected to last until the 11th.

Do we perform the update in the European replica and tell the customer it succeeded (giving up consistency)? If we do, the US side of the business will ship the products to the old address, even though the update happened a full day earlier.

Alternatively, do we tell the customer the update failed (giving up availability)? If we do, then the customer can't even let the European side of the business know of their new address.

This is the CAP theorem in a nutshell, and it is obviously inescapable. It doesn't require appeals to immediacy that are anywhere close to the bounds of relativity. And while 3-day long network partitions are quite rare, partitions that last for many hours are not.
Abstraction is a property of a description of a thing, not the thing itself. In reality, what we call "GPT" is the highly organised behaviour of many electrons, probably distributed across many computers, each with extremely complex hardware of various kinds, etc etc. Calling it a sequence of bits representing a numerical function is a choice of description - an abstraction, even!

In this case it's a good description, because it correlates with the GPT in reality quite well. But they are not the same thing.

Just like to point out that RNNs have internal state which isn't captured in this view, so yes, lots of NNs can be considered this way, but not all. It's the DSP equivalent of FIRs vs IIRs.
No, this is like searching "How to do X in Windows" because for a normal user it's Windows and Linux, not Windows and Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Linux Mint, Debian, Gentoo, Fedora, Arch Linux, Manjaro, etc.

Edit: I just realized Windows is so obviously Windows I didn't even write Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows 11. I just wrote Windows. That's what not being fragmented means.

You're really passionate but you're strawmanning all over the place.
You can't really have it both ways, being reductionist when it comes to computers (it's just a finite set of numbers, so there is no reasoning), but not permitting to use the same line of argumentation with humans (it's just a finite set of particles).

At any rate, this is an ages-old discussion in philosophy, so most likely we are not going to settle this in a Hacker News thread.
You are making the assumption that your body consists of a static set of atoms, but your body is a living thing. Your lookup table would end up containing the entire universe to account for extremely remote possibilities.

If you search Dan’s comments for "software sandwich" you’ll find https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10742610. I’m not sure if there are any other comments mentioning the system, or what became of it.

Suffice to say, it’s not possible to have an interesting front page every day unless there are reviewers whose job is to go looking for interesting stories. It’s too much of a schlep for anyone to want to do it otherwise.
Or, you can just ask openAI directly. That way only they have your holiday pictures, instead of adding a third party of unknown trustworthiness to the mix.
When I read this, I got a little too excited and thought they managed to get wireguard connections happening in the browser with webassembly (this isn't impossible, but the only attempt[0] I know of so far only works because of extra things tailscale has). It's an idea I've had for a project, but one I haven't had time to dedicate to (yet).

In any case, really cool write-up! I wonder if they thought about making `flyctl` do a check with their API for any command that requires talking over wireguard to ensure the keys would be installed in the gateway. Since `flyctl` knows when the last command was run with it, it could do this only after some inactivity. And on the gateway machines, they'd just clean up any inactive peers with a cron (which they seem to be doing already).

Not a solution as elegant as the one they reached (which is super cool), but I'm assuming the considerably lower effort would make it appealing.

Hm, perhaps there should be a dual column approach to hacker news, upcoming links and populair links.
I see you are a fan of flying disembodied brains, but this time without a universe surrounding the brain.
The required explanation is unnecessarily unreadable, so I explain it again.

As I wrote in my other comment, I meant the article as it relates to technology. My original comment is hidden below so I explain it again here.
The safety of the environment surrounding engineers is a serious concern of engineers. Note that even if it is a suicide, it is still a safety problem of the environment surrounding engineers. Since it is Boeing that pressured him until he committed suicide.

So I wrote "concerning safety culture of engineers". Your interpretation is a complete misunderstanding. At least the points voted on my above comment indicate that your interpretation is not the majority. Hence, thanks to the many supporters, my above comment received many votes and was moved to this thread and this thread was eventually returned to the top page.

We must not remain ignorant or indifferent to unsafe working environments.
Discord seems to have a lot of feature creep. I don't need games in Discord. I need it to work well with less resources and perhaps run well in the browser.
Hey, how about next time I need important updates I will install them manually issuing a simple command like "apt update && apt upgrade" or "pacman -Suy", or whatever else is there? And on top of that reboot my home computer on my own schedule and when I have convenient time to do so. And even gasp not updating my OS with important security updates if I choose so!
Bottom line, screw Windows with its updates. Why it is so if I own the hardware and turn it off and on whenever I want I can't do the same with my software?
That's what I was thinking when I read it, but it seems strange that it isn't explicitly mentioned.

It also seems quite surprising to me that drinking pomegranate vinegar would increase muscle. Makes me wonder if there's something I'm missing.
Love it, the Editor feels really smooth, even on my phone.

One nit about the readme on the GitHub repo is that it's not immediately obvious how to pass state into/get state out of the component. Would be nice to have an example of that.

> The problem you quickly run into to build this design is that Linux kernel WireGuard doesn’t have a feature for installing peers on demand.

I don't seem to understand. You can add peers at runtime, e.g.

https://serverfault.com/questions/1101002/wireguard-client-a...

Can somebody clarify?

EDIT:
If I understand correctly, that step is already too late. They want to authenticate a peer before adding it to the interface in order to prevent stale entries on the interface.

They thus put a eBPF filter in front of the interface and do the cryptokey-routing based association to an authorized counterpart by themselves. If it checks out, then they add the peer to the interface and remove it after a timeout.
