This is a great point. I sort of detest becoming an expert at proprietary stuff, because I know they'll just change it before long. I've lamented about this elsewhere as modern software creating "permanent amateurs". Even those that want to invest in expertise often find their knowledge outdated in a handful of years, and those that don't want to invest can easily justify it by pointing out this effect.
Being gaslit in mainstream media for a decade can do that
Only one horrifically boring way to find out.
They both let you build and train a model of nn layers. Tensorflow via keras and pytorch via torch.nn.Module.

How is that not functionally the same?

This is absolutely false. I run dual-boot Windows and Linux on hardware that has 100% Linux support. Windows just works, the same cannot be said for Linux unless all you do is use a browser and listen to Spotify.
Of course. And people enjoy spending their free time on various things not necessarily due to some restriction. For those people time spend on those things isn't wasted. For example, can have fun fixing cars even if have money to have a mechanic do it.
It could also be a personality type. Most Entrepreneurs are eager to take risks. Some have ADHD/Dyslexia and many others just have the personality. Doesn't have to mean Bipolar Disorder.

You post a link about satellite construction at current launch costs. That has nothing to do with what I was talking about, which is what happens when launch costs fall to as little as $10/kg.

I want you to imagine what happens if two countries in conflict have cheap launch. Space assets are important, and it would become worthwhile to protect them. That means mass, the more the better. The market here would be almost unlimited. And that's just one possibility. Consider space manufacturing (like ZBLAN fibers), high power (multimegawatt) comsats, high resolution imaging from high orbit (mirrors tens of meters across). These are just off the cuff ideas; we could keep listing others. None of them have to be terribly convincing to rebut an argument there's obviously nothing to be done.
It has seemed to me that the GPT would be considerably better at numbers if it just considered each digit as a token. Has anyone actually done an experiment to test this?

I wouldn't disbelieve that the grouped version is actually better with data, but it fights my intuition pretty hard. Grouping based on frequency obfuscates the regular nature of numbers.
Slovakia and Czech Republic and Germany all have tenant protections. That is not the same as rent control, but you can't be kicked out randomly.
I'm not arguing with you at all, it wouldn't make any sense to, you're not making any claim other than imagining I claimed articles where the journalist doesn't know anything about the topic are always good.

Recap:
I observed the thread was absurd because:

- it opened complaining about the science journalist writer who didn't know the topic.

- after it was resolved the author wasn't a science journalist or someone who didn't know anything, people were arguing about the stack-ranking of the imaginary science journalist

Now you're here, continuing to argue against a strawman for no discernable reason. We all get it, you and some other people are making sure we understand we're wrong, it can be bad when people write things they don't know about.
Yeah, that’s right. I had it once before I knew it was a thing and could see, hear, feel, but not move. Quite terrifying at the time, even if it resolved pretty rapidly.
People don't seem to understand that money is not much different to a deed that declares your property rights over a house or a plot of land. There is no difference. Whether it is paper or a metal coin, there is no difference since the money is like a legal contract recording how much abstract value you have given to "society" and how much access you have to resources. It is more like a key that opens doors. The problem with believing that money is a commodity is that such a commodity needs to be a master key, capable of opening every door. This ability to open doors is known as "liquidity", but perfect liquidity cannot exist. If you had a door for every point in space time, it is pretty clear that your key from 2024 can't open a door from 2023. It also can't open a door in Brazil when the key was made in the US. Money is always bound in time and space, but gold gives the impression that it is neither.

The debasement is an inevitable fact that those metaphorical doors are closing and opening over time. In fact, the impression that gold bugs give is that the government and general public should force all those doors to stay open at great expense, while they do nothing as if laziness was a virtue that demands compensation.

I understand these exist. However, that doesn't mean BankID or Swish will work on them, or will continue to work with them in the future.

BankID says the risk is entirely mine. That is not a risk I want to take. I figure it's easier stay with what I know works than to backtrack in the future from a temporary technical workaround.

This requires a political solution, not technical one.

That such solutions exist can help inform the political decision. The government could require BankID, etc. to support additional options, and in the interest of national sovereignty could even provide funding for that goal. If the banks require a higher level of security on the servers, the government could provide those servers instead of a non-EU monopolist.

Löwenheim-Skolem gives you a countable elementarily equivalent submodel (assuming you're working in a theory in a countable language, otherwise it gives you an elementary substructure of the same cardinality of the language at best), but plenty of interesting properties of familiar mathematical objects cannot be captured by a first-order theory and are not preserved by elementary equivalence, completeness of the reals being the standard example
In terms of builds and dependency management, Docker and nix actually work pretty similarly under the covers:

Both are mostly running well-controlled shell commands and hashing their outputs, while tightly controlling what's visible to what processes in terms of the filesystem. The difference is that nix is just enough better at it that it's practical to rebase the whole ecosystem on top of it (what you refer to as a "toolchain") whereas Docker is slightly too limited to do this.
> I think the fundamental and radical idea of cryptocurrency is that this is not true.

Not to sound nitpicky but an idea cant dis-/proof anything.

Trust is the only foundation of cryptocurrencies, and your argument is a good example of biased reasoning to coat it with such (i guess you still hodl). The volatility of cryptocurrencies will be their downfall aka. loss of trust in the long term because people already have the expectation of rising value, whereas a stable currency would require a roughly 1:1 exchange, which would make it hot garbage for pretty much all the hypsters. They value hodling and not circulation, which is the primary use case of a currency.

My argument is a systemic one. I am not pointing to graphs or big players.
ABSOLUTELY.

But, and this is the crucial part, AS A USER YOU WOULD NOT because a large portion of the web is broken.

We don't live in a perfect, sanitary world, and the software we build and use reflects that.

> I know crypto has a lot of scam baggage and that is unavoidable for a permissionless system, I think.

Being resistant to scams is one of the key features of modern finance. The joke that cryptocurrencies continue to rediscover the history of finance is not just a joke, it is the reality.

So many of the things that the crypto world complains about with fiat currency are actually things that allow the whole system to function well, and came about to combat scams and frauds that people don't want.

People don't want a Wild West economy.
That's the point of the article; when you say 'an automated context needs something simpler, more reliable, & more parseably stable', you are referring to an RPC system like, eg, JSON-RPC. This is what the OP article calls 'the opposite of REST'.
> Replacing the ads in the stream with streaming friendly ads comes at an additional tech cost too

There are several ad exchanges which will manage this entirely for you.

> plus you need to either hire people to run it or pay someone to manage it for you.

You can do most of it with automation. You just need to create a "break in" and "break out" signal to send to the advertising platform.

> so the station may not even have streaming rights for the content they have broadcast rights for

This is most of the issue. CBS, NBC and ABC don't give you very much latitude with their national network content. So local news and sports are usually the only space you can sell into. I've seen a lot of broadcasters setup scheduled streams that have full programmatic replacement running on them that only exist when local sports are in season and for the few hours a week they're actively played.
You are out of touch, however much you think you aren't.
For you, me, other people on HN who generally make a living by understanding computers, definitely.

For a layman who just needs to connect to WiFi, edit some documents and print them without having to update a kernel? No.
And, why not? macOS is Apple’s IP and they have all rights to do with it as they want. Buy the way, Chrome/Node.js JavaScript engine uses JIT compilation too. Are they affected?
> Something never quite sat right with me about this argument, and your comment finally made me understand what it is: the understanding you gain from tinkering is priceless, and it's exactly the experience that you use to help everyone around you: it turns you into an expert.

I have plenty of other things I’d rather tinker with and become an expert on, though. My computer is a tool to let me work with those things. It’s not fun when I have to debug and fix the tool for hours or days before I can even start working on the things I want to work on.
This article is nonsense. If "I've had compatibility issues with my hardware" is proof of Hackintosh dying then it's been dying from day one.

If there are genuine issues across the board Hackintosh software is generally updated to patch the issue, it's always been like that and only improving over time.

Personally I'm still on 10.14.6 and will probably never upgrade to 11 since it and its successors suck so hard.
Well it's not unheard of that some people won the genetic lottery and are more efficient at it, functioning normally with only 3, 4 hours of sleep every day. There's definitely room for improvement for those of us that need 8 or 9 lmao. Hell even reducing it to just 7 or 6 would be such a massive gain.

I'm more surprised why we don't see more of the opposite - western startups testing their ideas in Africa as a sandbox and then expanding out. Not a huge amount of disposable income there sure, but for the right product its the perfect testing ground.

e.g. zipline doing on demand blood deliveries to hospital in Rwanda. I bet their recent US drone authorization was in no small part due to their ability to point to a live operation doing at scale life/death critical deliveries with success.

> If you remember the Log4j vulnerability from a couple of years ago, that was an URL parsing bug.

I don't think that's a fair description of the issue.

The log4j vulnerability was that it specifically added JNDI support (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-313) to property substitution (https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/configuration.ht...), which it would apply on logged messages. So it was a pretty literal feature of log4j. log4j would just pass the URL to JNDI for resolution, and substitute the result.

> with the same ads?

Not sure if it's still the case but the AFTRA union made that somewhat difficult for many years. The ad itself needs to be cleared for digital streaming and use electronic reporting if it uses union talent. When we carry "network" programming, some of the ads slots belong to the network, and some to the local station. We have no visibility on network ads, so we had to assume they were not clear, and could never be streamed.

This was an issue in radio, too.
I've deployed lambdas written in rust, mostly because I needed a good C interop and didn't want to mess around with C++ AWS (been down that road, without native json support it's a pain).

The rust lambda SDK is just fine. You can write your rust endpoint on, e.g. Axum, then deploy straightaway.

I run a few full fledged apis with just one lambda in this way. It's not hard mode at all.
Agreed. There are "strains" of ADHD that show some remarkable similarities to bipolar disorder that must be sussed out by a really skilled professional. My source on this is personal experience.
You have to use a service that harvests your data for that to happen. That's your choice. Nobody is forcing you. There is certainly no need to have a public vote to outlaw the companies. (Now, if you were to propose that our lawmakers outlaw the ad-supported business model, so that companies providing the services that now harvest data to make money would have to make the users of their services paying customers instead...)

Also, do you buy anything that the advertisers who buy your data are selling?
Since they removed “hey” and I got the latest phone, I’ve noticed many little situations where it’s faster to speak to the device than tap your way around. E.G. when it’s locked you can say, “Siri, open Spotify” and look at it for face unlock, boom. Random stuff. Also Alexa has surprised me lately, like a rational response to, “how many sandwiches is too many?”
You just need one clinic there that offers it. Why is the relative number relevant?
I don't know what they did specifically with GPT-2 as far as tokenization. It is probably hand massaged BPE.

GPT-2 was a pretty small model and it only had to do enough to be impressive at the time in showing some magic.

It doesn't matter of course that the token identifiers fall in any kind of continuous range since the model never sees them, since they are replaced with the embeddings. That said, sometimes I have wondered if it would have been better to force some natural ordering for these things.

The token layout for LLaMA and LLaMA 2 also leaves much to be desired, even GPT-3 and GPT-4 are all over the shop. Gemini is pretty neat from what I have seen of it. As far as I know it mostly deals with digits. Also, the way spaces are dealt with is different. You don't get a bunch of words with hard coded spaces on the front like you do with LLaMA.

It's interesting because there seems to be a trend with these models to head toward almost byte oriented approaches in certain areas of the dictionary.

That would kind of make sense as the models get larger, the tokens don't have to do as much.

I must say that in my own experiments on very small models, you do get an itch to use pretty fat tokens. It looks good when you demo it, that is for sure. But, I think it is much harder for the model because as you noted, it has to create a lot of rules and exceptions internally that more simplistic token schemes would avoid.

Interesting stuff.
People are asking how the fact that you make more money now is evidence of that. That's your natural ending, but it's not evidence of a natural ending.

What's actually happened in practice: A huge number of politicians became entangled in SBF's operation, and the direct attacks made to date could be construed as attempts to get in at lower prices or control local onramps.

Government officials that seek crypto bans end up with conflicts of interest. This is a recurring theme across the various countries that have announced such things. They don't deploy the secret taxpayer dollars to combat it, because they quickly get an angry phone call from a so-and-so on the inside.

The superpower system works within an imaginary of imperial expansion, where everyone's motives converge on putting more assets on their balance sheet even if it means lying about how the books got that way. During the rise of the modern nations that meant supporting a stronger state and a bigger bureaucracy. If we define the quality of the accounting at scale as the goal, then blockchains are just a next progression in technology. That's still compatible with governance and power-seeking, it just changes the landscape of power in a way that shifts around the motives. The number of middlemen involved isn't zero, it doesn't stop corrupt dealing, but it has some substance, particularly in the largest scale of international finance, where you really can't "look to an authority".
Why would you want to "enable" this?

What is actually being enabled, and is it more efficient than a regular green-yellow-red intersection? If you watch on 1x, this seems like a horribly slow/inefficient intersection.
I fully empathize - and yet, there are benefits from tinkerers/hackers messing around on proprietary hardware/software. Hackintosh - and similar communties - led to projects like Asahi Linux, Nouveau, Panfrost, etc.

Yes. The various iterations of "isn't this just" seem to be getting progressively better over time though...
The US military is mostly irrelevant for maintaining the value of the dollar. If you treat the dollar as worthless or use other currencies they won't bomb you.

It's really more civilian law enforcement that maintains the value of the dollar and blocks alternative currencies from widespread adoption. If you incur a tax liability to the US government then you have to settle the debt using dollars: they won't take gold or Bitcoin or cattle. And if you fail to pay then eventually they'll use violence (or the threat thereof) to seize your assets.
> hedge against inflation and reduce their reliance on the dollar

If I am dealing in X I don't buy more X incase X's value decreases

The parent comment is correct, gold hasn't been a standard for a long time to base the value of currency on. It is simply a commodity with a relatively stable value up until now.

The only thing currency value is based on is how much people are willing to pay for it and as correlation to that how many people are willing to accept it as payment.

I invite you to walk into your local grocery store and attempt to pay in anything other than your local currency, you will fins out just how worthless that is as a currency.

So for me, a non-US citizen who isn't doing any dealing with people willing to accept dollars, dollars are as much a currency as pet rocks are. They can be converted into currency but they are not currency. Gold holds the same property although I would much rather hold gold than US dollars and that is where your quote on central banks come in.

I'm much more likely to get the same amouny of currency from gold than from US dollars on the future should I choose to sell it.

One of the main reasons (the other being personal learning) people write these minimal dependency free implementations is exactly for speedup, so it's a fair question. If the author has other motivations that's fine, but it's very interesting to see how fast you can get once you strip out some of the overhead of the common frameworks.
