Storage is far cheaper than most providers charge for it. Especially for things like photo libraries where the high res originals can probably be written to 1.1 hard drives in a basement somewhere (or maybe even tape) at a cost of <1 cent per GB/month.

However, the storage also pays for the engineering costs of building the product, and the economics of that tends to work out far better with billions of users than with thousands of users.
> I think you're overoptimistic regarding what you can do with the source code

Suppose you have a Java function. If you remove the file-system class at a system level, what can that code do? It's pretty easy to isolate it so that it cannot compile to any kind of malicious code, only conduct computations to produce values. That's why you can open a website running JavaScript without as much worry for the security of your computer as you would have downloading a blob and running it.

> I have no idea why you think either of those things?

Well most of the software on your computer has the following api:

int main(int argc, char **argv)

This is because it needs to run as an executable. Without this requirement, software might have much more interesting APIs which are much more useful. But instead there is a requirement that all software is mashed into blobs and has all of the useful information removed from it.

Additionally, just compiling the software from source does nothing to guarantee that it isn't malware. You can compile malware from source just as easily as anything else. The system I'm proposing does not allow for malicious programs to be compiled.
I’ve been saying for years, the only reason these kinds of online businesses are viable is because they are foregoing all the “human” services that they should be providing, and they can get away with it just by hiding everything behind machines and automation.

Why hire an army of humans to investigate and deal with spam when you can just auto-ban anyone your shitty algorithm says is suspect? And the only way they can get any recourse is to make a shitstorm on social media.

I think I reflexively agree, but I will try to suspend my opinion until it is actually released.
Android Begins Deprecating iOS APIs After Running Out of Android APIs to Depreca
It was the first edition of this book that, when I read it 20 years ago, got me "hooked" on computer science as a science rather than as just a fun thing to do (which I had been doing for several years prior).

When I met Dan Jurafsky, 10 years later, I definitely felt none of that disappointment that often goes with meeting one of your "childhood heroes" and thanked him for writing the book and the impact it had on my life.

As someone with an interest in the history of physics as I'm sure many people here are, I didn't much like the film either. I liked the renditions of the different physicists and the overall arc of the story, but more like I'd be interested in a documentary.

What's impressive about the movie is that they managed to create drama, artistry and tension in what's fundamentally something you can't really make a movie about because in the end it's just a story of some physicists that successfully accomplished something without anyone really opposing them in any material way.

I think that's laudable and interesting. But if you would judge the movie just based on its entertainment value, I don't think it would score very high. The Barbie movie, which I just saw 2 weeks ago on my TV was clearly a better movie on I'm pretty sure every aspect, and you could tell it was in the first minute.
Yeah, my point is "born here" = you are American. It's racist to insinuate that American-born Chinese aren't American.
If it makes you feel better, adjust taxes so that those high income and wealthy people pay for the money they receive for free, but poor people don’t. Assuming your taxation system is low admin (e.g. a value added tax plus pay-as-you-earn income tax), this shouldn’t be burdensome from an administrative point of view. (This is easy when I wave my hand and say ‘just do these things’)

Notice how the piece you linked ties together facts in a way that implies an otherwise unsupported narrative: Signal received funding from .gov (true), that funding expired after some period (true), Signal is currently struggling financially (true). Missing is information such as: How much of Signal’s funding came from .gov? (Not mentioned.) When did the funding end? (Asked but not answered.) Any indication of causal link between loss of .gov funding and current financial trouble? (None mentioned.) Yet the clear implication is that Signal was created as a CIA psyop, and was only ever successful due to sinister government connections.

It’s a great story for someone who makes a living implying the CIA is behind everything. (Previous stories on his Substack: “Third 9/11 Hijacker May Have Been CIA Recruit,” “How CIA and NSA Created Google,” “RIP BuzzFeed News, Intelligence Agency Propaganda Conduit”)

But that’s rather ad hominem of me. So don’t just believe me—analyze the details of the story for yourself, and form a conclusion.

Not really very open. Though it makes me wonder what the model might say about Tiananmen Square, Uyghurs, reeducation camps, or any other thing you're not really supposed to talk about in China.

Is there a benchmark for bias in model outputs? No doubt China has one, somewhere, except it's not skewed towards prevention.
> The developers of open source owe you nothing.

For the umpteenth time in this discussion, no one said they did. And please note what I implicitly defined as supported, which is basically that a non-antagonistic conversation can be had about issues and contributions. That is not entitlement.
It does not triple resolution. Subpixel rendering can only be used to smooth full pixel lines - this introduces color fringing on the sides of font glyphs, but one that can sometimes be ignored when the smoothed lines are thick enough to distract.

If you used subpixel rendering to render lines of fractional pixel thickness, it would just appear as a single-pixel line of the wrong color. The same happens if you render line thicknesses up to 1 1/3 pixels wide, but offset to not match any pixel boundary.

At the same time, subpixel antialiasing can only be used with a specific subpixel layout, in the direction sof the subpixels. For regular desktop LCD panels, this means smoothing of vertical lines only, making characters like "o" look funky and uneven.

With that in mind, a 4k panel with subpixel antialiasing does not look anything like a 6k panel with greyscale antialiasing ("super expensive mac screen" is not relevant, apart from display technology differences not related to resolution or aliasing).
> there’s no way to measure time directly. It clearly exists, yet all you can measure is change of things besides time.

If it can't be measured then it can't be said to clearly exist.

Imagine a cellular automata where particles have lots of "slots" that could be used for moving or interacting. As the particle speeds up and more slots are used for moving, there are fewer slots for the kind of interaction change that we use to measure time. At the highest speed, with all possible slots used for motion, the particle would experience no change, which is indistinguishable from no time passing.

Does that sound familiar to anything? It's certainly possible that light being a speed limit, time dilation, relativity, and so on are in some way actually describing change rather than time.
BBQ Done When?
Question:

Roasting cooking pork shoulder for BBQ and
want to know when it will be done.

Why Care:

The usual approach to cooking BBQ is "low
and slow". So, with oven temperature of
210 F (which is "low") the cooking time to
reach a BBQ recommended internal meat
temperature of 180 F might be 20 hours
("slow").

So, after a few hours of cooking noting,
say, two times and internal meat
temperatures and considering other
activities, sleeping, etc., can want to
know how many more hours will be needed to
reach the 180 F.

So, made a physics assumption, did some
math derivations, and wrote the simple
software for the arithmetic. The physics
assumption ignores the temperature stall
sometimes seen in BBQ cooking.

Details:

At what we can call time 0, the internal
temperature was 155 F.

At time 157 minutes, the internal
temperature was 170 F.

Answer: At 300 minutes the temperature
should be 180.071 F.

So, we start with the oven temperature and
the internal meat temperature at two times
so far, and from that data we can find the
internal meat temperature at any time.

The physics and math:

Y -- oven temperature (F)

t -- time (minutes)

y(t) -- internal meat temperature
(F) at time t

Physics:

At time t (minutes) the rate of
temperature increase is directly
proportional to the difference between the
oven temperature and the internal meat
temperature. So, with constant of
proportionality k, we have

y'(t) = k*(Y - y(t))

That is a first order, linear, ordinary
differential equation.

Math Solution:

For some constants k and c, the solution
is:

y(t) = Y - e^(-k*t + c)

To simplify the notation, we have
quantities a1 and a2 defined below. The
two times are t1 and t2. Then we have the
values of k and c:

k = (a2 - a1) / (t1 - t2)

c = a1 + t1*k

The arithmetic in simple (Rexx
programming) syntax:

The oven temperature:

Y = 210

Time in minutes of the first meat
internal temperature measurement:

t1 = 0

The first temperature (F):

y1 = 155

Taking the natural logarithm, that
is, base e = ~2.71828

a1 = RxCalcLog(Y - y1)

Second time (minutes):

t2 = 157

The second temperature (F):

y2 = 170

a2 = RxCalcLog(Y - y2)

So using the t1, t2, a1, a2 from
above we have k and c:

k = (a2 - a1) / (t1 - t2)

c = a1 + t1 * k

For a Do-End loop to find many
time-temperature pairs, our time
step (minutes):

dt = 60

s = ' Time (minutes) Temperature (F)'

Say s

Do j = 0 to 22

t3 = j * dt

Taking e^(-k t3 + c) we get our
desired temperature y3 at each of the
times t3:

y3 = Y - RxCalcExp(-k*t3 + c)

Say Format( t3, 18) Format( y3, 14, 3)

End

From the output of the

Do j = 0 to 22

we get at 300 minutes the temperature will
be 180.071 F.
We do seem to have LLM attorneys, every so often there is a news story where one gets caught because the LLM fabricated a reference.

But if they are getting caught sometimes, that means it is happening undetected in others.

It depends on what you are trying to do.

LLMs are powerful, but can be difficult to work with w.r.t. doing post processing or adding markup/annotations in the text. For example, asking it to label terms in a sentence it can produce varied output, e.g. sometimes listing "word or clause: description of the meaning" which is hard to parse in downstream tasks, or sometimes out of order.

I've also seen LLMs label split infinitives with the correct meaning at the preposition instead of the whole subclause. With NLP you would label either the start and span of the label (common) or the root of the subclause, depending on the application. The NLP approach would work for more complex nested and interconnected expressions where the structure is not flat text.

If you ask it to generate XML or HTML, it will usually invent its own markup, or sometimes generate invalid output. E.g. I've seen it output HTML using tags like `<Question Word>` in some cases.

Asking it to generate CoNLL-U (which it knew about from its response) -- it only outputted 3 columns as "in _ PREP" etc. which is not correct.

Asking `Can you lemmatize "She is going to the bank to get some money."` I get `"She go(ing) to bank(er) for money(y)"` which leaves out words, doesn't lemmatize some words correctly, and has a format that is difficult to parse/interpret reliably.

LLMs also have a limited context window, so if you are trying to process a large document, or have a large complex set of instructions (e.g. on how to label, process, or format the data) then it can lose those instructions and deviate from what you are doing.

LLMs are also susceptible to being guided by the input text as the prompt and input are taken together. Thus, if the text is talking about a different format or something else it can easily switch to that.

--

While NLP pipelines require more work to get right, they can often be more efficient computationally as they are often a lot smaller than the 7b parameters, or use other techniques that don't use ML/NNs.

You can build more custom pipelines by querying the different features (part of speech, lemma, lexical features, etc.) without having to reparse the data, and you can keep the annotations consistent across those different pipelines, e.g. when labelling, extracting and storing the data in a database for searching, etc. so a user can see all the places where a term is referenced in a given text.

I often see similar sentiments expressed, and then I wonder if they come from a different Matrix world than mine. Matrix is my primary chat, using daily.

This isn't "a" new FPGA, there'll be like 50+ (or even hundreds of) SKUs, many will be various BGA/chip scale packages (with different numbers of pins available) but not necessarily all of them.

I wouldn't be incredibly surprised if they did with this new version (although it's probably less and less likely with each generation).

Thank you for sharing the announcement here! I'm the founder of dstack.

To share more context:

dstack is an open-source tool designed for managing AI infrastructure across various cloud platforms. It's lighter and more specifically geared towards AI tasks compared to Kubernetes. Due to its support for multiple cloud providers, dstack is frequently used to access on-demand and spot GPUs across multiple clouds.

To democratize access to GPUs, and to streamline the process of managing multiple clouds, we introduce dstack Sky, a managed service that enables users to access GPUs from multiple providers through dstack – without needing an account in each cloud provider.

We launched dstack Sky today on Product Hunt: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/dstack-sky

Happy to hear feedback, and answer questions!

Why make such a blanket statement? The actual solution is selfhosting, short term for power users, long term everyone. You don't need to pay someone to host your services.

The only data we could provide (in response to a binding Swiss legal order), was the user's recovery email address, which the user added himself, and is optional to begin with.

Unfortunately, the said user also used that same recovery address to create a Twitter account, and Twitter turned over his phone number and IP address.

Coincidentally, this case again proves that Proton Mail's encryption cannot be bypassed by law enforcement.
It’s not that it needs to be, it’s just that—based on our knowledge of the chemical elements—life based on some combination of oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen is by far the most likely.

Other forms are certainly possible, it’s just that they are highly highly unlikely to form and remain stable, and develop into complex intelligent life.

So all of that informs where you should focus your efforts on research and searching.
Would certainly not be surprised!
One main thing that one gets for free this way is garbage collection. I once started writing a lisp iterpreter in C++ but that kind of fell by the wayside once I realized that it is quite easy to create cyclical references in lisp and then using shared_ptr is not good enough.
We could reasonably plant ~1tn trees without encroaching on current food production levels (although we'd have a fairly catastrophic impact on biodiversity). This would sequester around 100Gt of CO2. So far, we've emitted about 2800Gt of CO2, with around 950Gt remaining in the atmosphere (the rest is already in trees/oceans etc).

So at the moment we could sequester all of the excess CO2 that's still up there in the atmosphere, in exchange for significantly altering the natural world.

However, planting 1tn trees takes time, and trees take a very long time to grow and sequester carbon. Once they're fully matured, they stop sequestration. While they're growing, humans would continue emitting ~35Gt CO2 per year at current levels, with "business as usual" projections of ~100Gt per year in 2100 (in the word "4 degrees of warming" scenario).

So although planting lots of trees is a valuable tool in the carbon sequestration arsenal, we really need fairly radical decarbonisation alongside it, if it's to be anything more than buying a decade at the end of the century.
