There are two arguments. Data and politics.

Data seems like a sideshow to me. It’s legal and they could just buy it from data brokers anyway. It’s not like the US has any real laws against that.

Political action is a fair response to the bill but they went about it in an incredibly tone deaf way.
That sounds like a lot of fun. Do you happen to have any photos of you tinkering especially with the 10-LED bar temp displays?
Human rights are just made up. It means nothing to talk about them. You can scream in a desert that water is a human right as much as you want, doesn't mean it is going to rain.
China, Korea, Taiwan, Japan... I can break it down by city, but the idea that people don't commute more than an hour in any of these places is pretty laughable. HK is a bit better, because it's so small, but unless you're really wealthy or willing to live with your family in 100m2 even that is challenging. It's not that there aren't places to live (eg in Tokyo), but most people with a family and moderate incomes would rather live outside the city, and that means long commutes, standing during rush hours.

I once had a commute longer than 15min in Silicon Valley and decided I'd never do it again.
Its funny that the debate here is whether it is:

(1) trade protectionism that is about protecting the right to profit off of manipulation of American youth to favored actors, rather than disfavored foreign actors (whether disfavored because their country doesn’t allow American firms the same power in their countries, or for other reasons) or

(2) totally not trade related, but speech related, and about reserving the right to manipulate American youth to the exact same favored actors discussed in #1.
If you want to do AI research along a line that doesn't seem to currently represent big immediate profits, you aren't going to be competing with SV firms anyway.

You still have to get grants and all for that area, and then "profit motive" of one form or another might sneak back in, but that would be true even without SV firms as well.
Modern CPUs are built using CMOS MOSFET transistors[1]. The gate, which controls if the transistor conducts or not, is effectively a small capacitor. The gate capacitor has to be charged up for the transistor to conduct[2], ie you have to stuff some electrons into it to turn the transistor on.

Once you've done that, the transistor is on until the gate capacitor is discharged. This requires getting rid of the electrons you stuffed into it. The easiest is to just connect the gate to ground, essentially throwing the electrons away.

So for each time the transistor goes through an on-off cycle, you need to "spend" some electrons, which in turn need to be supplied from the power supply. Thus higher frequency means more current just from more on-off cycles per second.

There's also resistive losses and leakage currents and such.

Now in theory I suppose you could recycle some of these electrons (using a charge pump arrangement[3]), reducing the overall demand. But that would require relatively large capacitors, and on-chip capacitors take a lot of chip area which could have been used for many transistors instead.

I'd be quite curious to see how using the Magic Nix Cache Action compares to your setup in terms of performance: https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/magic-nix-cache-action

Proper scoring rules like Brier mean that any attempt to optimize your score by definition mean that you are improving your calibration.
Just the comments on my comment alone justify my comment. I never said it was negative, it just is a fact. There are plenty of good new and old methods for everything. But it is resistant to change because it has to have a long service life.
Having recently spent quite a bit of time in Silicon Valley for the first time... for the supposedly richest area of the richest country in the world, wow, what an underwhelming experience, that money you're spending doesn't give you anything compared to NYC or even Miami.

Completely unwalkable, no transit, freeways and highways everywhere, no bustle or nightlife even downtown on a weekend. Extremely limited culturally. Large parts of it feels like a third world country. Just what.

Sure there are some redeeming qualities like being near the Bay and great hiking, but I can think of countless other places I'd rather exist at any compensation level. (including nearby SF which has at least some city qualities and amenities)
Is academia supposed to compete? I think the researchers wish for that, but that's not directly how government funding agencies see it. From a government's funding perspective the goal is to train tomorrow's workforce. People learn in academia and then transition and contribute outside. As far as agencies like DOE go, that is an explicit goal.
> As we know, COVID infections are almost unknown when infected individuals consistently wear a high-quality fitted mask.

Suppose you're visited by a home health aid everyday and in every instance of mask application the protective rate is 99.999%. That means at each instance (each day), you have a 0.001 risk of contracting COVID. If we extrapolate out, after four years, the risk of contracting COVID is 1.5%. Now suppose you have two or three visitors each day. Your risk is now 4.3%.

Even 'unheard' of risks become quite common as you tempt fate.
Well, we could use the prefix "astro-" for generic celestial objects, including planets. So you could go with "astrothermal".

And then the study of those objects, cf. geology, would be.... no, wait.

(Is there a generic prefix for just planetary bodies that we should be using? If so, what is it? If not, why not?)

In a safety-critical design you have to take in account what will happen if what cannot happen happens.
a design system is just a design system. you still gotta build everything else.

That's a fair assessment but it was also 6 years ago. Back then transformers had recently come out. Tricks to do DL at scale were still brewing. Even achieving what they did for 10 heroes showed DL could work in "non-deterministic-ish" problem settings.

The more interesting question is: can we train a Dota model that plays with all 124 heroes today?
Where on earth does it say that the government cannot limit access to information? If that were true then how on earth is book censorship legal?

For that matter, how was it legal to change to digital tv broadcasts? CCP tiktok can absolutely still operate a website that wont be blocked. The medium of delivery isnt protected speech.
Aside: I love these 'Time' discussions on HN.

Invariably, there is a thread from someone new to the mess that is 'time' that discovers things like leap-seconds or Japanese Imperial Years and is just blown away at the insanity of it all. Then there are discussions on how to implement the logic, with much cursing at Excel. And then someone mentions relativity and everyone just sighs and acknowledges that old Paul Krugman paper.

I used to work in an atomic clock company, so all the issues with 'time' are a bit old hat for me. But it's always a blast (honestly!) to see new people's heads explode in these comments as they slowly realize that 'time' isn't really a thing thing. Like watching chicks hatch.

Those are the two major Jewish populations... everywhere.

I know things are different in France, but in the States the rule is generally that "only the fat kid gets to make fat jokes", and making comments like "caricatures of sephard" is in extremely poor taste.

France is also a tragicomically racist country, so "where I'm from" doesn't exactly cut the mustard for enlightened commentary.

Just because we control the media doesn't mean that you can make jokes about it (and this is an example of the Jew telling Jew jokes).
haha, I used to have a torchdown roof and I sympathize. Finding folks to do a similar style (with integral gutters and tarred gravel, etc.) was a bit challenging. Plenty of folks that'd put down some foam and shingles though

But that research is important and benefits us all - so, with how much excess and wealth stratification we're seeing in the modern world, isn't it worth it to divert some of that to supporting that research? If we're too focused on profit we'll optimize for a local maximum and miss out on highly impactful developments that might initially seem to be dead-ends.
My favorite academics in the automotive field were the ones who had already been in the the industry for long enough to make their bag and had come back to teach because it was fun.

The head of the automotive program at my alma-mater was very well off and was completely open about the fact that he did consulting on the side if he wanted cash for a new truck or something. This also made him considerably more immune to administratorial university politics.

A lot of university bloat and wasted resources came from the fact that the various regents, deans and heads of so-and-so wanted their fingers in every pie and would push various "initiatives" that academic staff were expected to support (which would then be a notch on the belt of the administrator who created it, giving them power to hire more staff and create more initiatives).

There were a lot of levers that could be used against academic staff who focused too hard on teaching or supporting grad students. Loss of lab space, no grad students funneled to them, etc. The people who'd already "retired" once and were only there to teach were basically the only line of defense against this type of stuff, because they simply didn't care.
Fun fact, I can also train a 24 trillion parameter model on my laptop! Just need to offload weights to the cloud every layer.

> There are plenty of great educational institutions out there but the most prestigious ones are suffering from their success and attracting money-minded management that is more focused on growing their investment portfolio and handing out juicy bonuses than attracting good staff and ensuring a good educational environment.

People keep trotting this line but without any substantial proof. Harvard's highest paid employee is a faculty member, David Malan, of the popular CS50 course earning $1.6 million annually [1]. It's always been faculty members earning even more than the President.

I assume you're counting Harvard Management Company, the firm managing Harvard's endowment. Yeah, the CEO earns $9 million annually, which is quite high [2]. But there's a catch; were he in the private industry managing a $50 billion+ fund, he'll easily clear $50 million+ in annual compensation, if not $100 million depending on the performance.

The endowment managers operate differently from the institution, and salaries are actually much lower than in the private sector. Maybe you want to complain about inequality, sure, but that's another thing entirely. They're paying the least they can to get expert fund managers..

Easier said than done. I assume you have no prior experience on professional game development? Many game designers tried to tame chaos as a game mechanic in the name of "emergent gameplay" and only a few of them survived through numerous iterations in an extremely limited format. I would recommend you to do your own research before making such a bold statement. It is not that people cannot come up with the same idea; many cases they tried it and there's a good reason not to do that.
People who make statements like this sound just like "concerned parents" talking about D&D and rock and roll music. 30-40 years ago. Wildly out of touch. Seriously, go take a look at what others are actually sharing from TikTok. It's none of this Chinese propaganda nonsense people are ranting about.

I guess it somewhat follows the Nix tradition of having several pieces of software doing the same exact thing and confusing the users about which one to pick.
A "peer reviewed" research paper written by ChatGPT
> Is the US chinaphobic or something?

Well, china makes many threats to invade our allies, like Taiwan. (Officially declared or not. We give them weapons)

China is quite literally on a list of military enemies.

Yes, it is reasonably to be fearful of countries that are likely going to go to war with your allies. Just like it is reasonable for the government of ukraine to be afraid of the invading russian army.

Our cold war relationship with china could change in the future. They are going to have to make a lot of changes first, such as swearing off invading our allied country taiwan.

But, until that happens, china is right now on the path to actual war with the US in around 5 years.
It’s not about demonizing, it’s about bringing it under control. Silicon Valley behemoths cooperate with the US government in a way that TikTok does not.

Nix shell is for devshells declared as a top-level in your flake. 99.99% of the time this is identical to the primary package, but sometimes having additional things around is helpful. E.g. I use justfiles for local dev (meaning I have to pull Just in as a dep), but that isn't something used for a real package build.

Nix profile is for activating profiles, which even a seasoned nix user would have little use for directly. It's what underpins home-manager as an example.

If nobody wants to kill TikTok, then what is the point of removing it from the app store?

Has anyone considered that the content pushed on TikTok is actually the content Americans want? Perhaps the reason TikTok is super popular is precisely because of their tailored content.

Clearly, supply and demand will always be in equilibrium for some price.

But it might mean the workers your economy deems most worthy of reward can't afford to have children; and the workers who clean the offices and suchlike are sleeping in bunk beds four to a room.

As visions for the future of our society go, some might consider that somewhat unambitious.
Academia simply does not have the funding to pay wages driven up. Tech pockets are deep comparatively. Is that good or bad? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I think it's more a call for private industry to run the equivalent of Bell Labs/Xerox PARC as a substitute for academia.
They didn’t try to manipulate democracy, people didn’t vote for their representatives based on their ideas about tiktok, there was no referendum about how to handle tiktok, but of course they actually showed that they could have the influence to affect future democratic process
I don’t understand the confusion. The CCP and its state-backed entities have been hammering the US with cyber attacks (on DoD targets), corporate and academic spying, and disinformation campaigns. Despite a relatively friendly commercial environment (friendly as long as China gets everything it wants), China’s intelligence apparatus proposes a clear and obvious threat to national security.

I don’t understand all the constitutional hurdles. However, we know that Russia has heavily invested in disinformation and destabilization for decades. We can and should expect the same from China.

Similar to math teachers and programming. Most great math teachers can easily convert to at least mediocre programmers. And that translates to a 3x+ salary increase on day 1. I know people who converted.

> The funny thing is there's not really that much propaganda on TikTok

I recommend that you sit down in front of your computer with your beverage of choice and do a deep dive into psyops.

To address your comment, there are psyops actors in every significant (and some less significant) social media platform, even our own Hacker News. Whether you want to call their work “propaganda” or something else is mostly semantics — they are operating with an agenda, sometimes/often one that conflicts with the will and/or best interest of our nation (in my case, the US).
> In a smaller city it can work great!

The best transit is generally thought to be in NYC.
The author raises some good points that, I think, are ultimately moot. Most concerns hinge on either the president using this power maliciously or Bytedance not selling Tiktok. The president already has a lot of scary power to wield if they use it maliciously, and our institutions tend to do a good job keeping this in check. What happens if Bytedance chooses not to sell? That will be an interesting world, but not one I'm sure needs to be prepared for.

What most of the posters in this thread don't realize is that US is effectively at war with China. China is working in front of the scenes to be the major funder of Russia's war [1] against Europe, which is US's ally amongst the coalition of democratic countries. China is working behind the scenes to stop the supply of artillery shells to Ukraine. [2]. and it is increasingly and more visibly supplying Russia with military supplies. [3]

People need to stop being so naive and realize that it's the aligned democratic countries (Ukraine, Europe, US, Australia, Canada, UK, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea) fighting against the last survival of dictatorships (Russia, China, Iran, North Korea). If you wish the dictatorships to win, please by all means, move there.

No. That's a strawman. I think the point of an abstract should be to provide a summary easy for humans to quickly digest, including researchers skimming hundreds of papers and laypeople.

I think the body and supplemental materials, in contrast, should not have a page limit and provide complete background as needed for replication. Those should have much more than this paper.

That makes sense but the principle of "more data = more better" suggests that maybe training an LLM on all the possible data and then fine tuning it to only spit out the best answers might be better than only training it on only the best data to begin with.
The status quo for this level of filing is free fillable forms which AFAIK turbotax made under a restrictive contract that prevents them from involving data brokers and involving other private ventures.

There's no justification for the IRS needing higher security than free fillable forms or normal turbo tax to deliver a similar self prepared efiling, so they are repeating the same crime the next level down, choosing a private system to provide something that benefits the IRS and is of negative value to the tax payer themself.
The article calls it an "open secret" in the industry, but it isn't even much of a secret. Most companies have explicit "manage up or manage out" policies for engineers, which means that if you have been at a certain level for too many years you get fired and replaced by someone younger. They say you need to work hard and get promoted to senior staff/principal/director/VP, but then the promo budget says only 2 people in the org can get promoted to those ranks every year. So what about everyone else?
