Ask HN: Time-Series Vector Embeddings
I'm working on a project that involves numerical, time-series data on the order of 10s of GB. I was wondering if vector embeddings would be the way to go if I wanted to accurately retrieve and perform analysis on this data via LLM. Most of the resources I've run into revolve around embedding text, images, and other forms of media, so I'm not sure if the temporal relationships between hundreds/thousands of time-series can be represented effectively the same way.

Has anyone here had experience with doing this? Or any libraries or projects you could point me towards? I've found a few projects like Time-LLM that attempt to forecast time-series, but not query or analyze them.

Any guidance would be very appreciated, thanks!
Thanks! Currently it does not but it's not something particularly complex to implement so I can add it if there's interest! I haven't used NP++ in some time so I don't remember exactly how it behaves but I'll take a look.

Nice!

Good luck with your product. As someone who regularly worked with tools like R Studio or Jupyter notebooks, it boggles my mind to still see monthly and quarterly presentations that are the same, except for some (badly) copy-pasta'd data, so there is a need for this!
Probably nothing. An internal tool is not “distributed”, right?
> You have to be cautious with harmonics reports on these radios because a lot of people seem to try to evaluate them with an SDR... and they are pretty much guaranteed to overload the SDR's front end and cause all kinds of intermodulation that people mistake for emissions of the radio.

This is something more people should know. On the most popular USB SDRs even a local FM radio station will have the appearance of transmitting on harmonics, which I know for certain the serious hams would report within hours.
You're right, I've looked for this button myself more than once, and got confused by the exact same thing. I'll change it, thanks.

Two things I'm curious to know:

1. How many tokens can 'traditional' models (e.g. Mistral's 8x7B) fit on a single 80GB GPU?
2. How does quantization affect the single transformer layer in the stack? What are the performance/accuracy trade-offs that happen when so little of the stack depends on this bottleneck?

The second of two, because he lost the first one.

People act like this was a criminal proceeding. It was not. He'd already been testifying and speaking publicly about Boeing for more than 5 years. He sued them because of Boeing's attempts to defame his character to downplay the allegations which have been public for a long time.

FWIW, I've read that multiple people committed suicide in despair of the financial ruin caused by SBF's fraud. So he did do things worthy of hefty punishment.

Stealing money may not inherently "feel" like a real crime, because money (especially digital crypto money) is a very intangible hypothetical thing. It does not resonate with our lizard brains like violence does.

However, it is a real crime. And harsh punishments like prison time are needed to remind us of that.
It is bad to steal from lawyers, economists and judges at the same time. This has a negative impact on the court, in addition to the financial harm caused.

Food for thought:

I have started, stopped, rewrote, given up, and restarted development of a visual novel engine over and over again. My vision is something kind of like Ren'Py[1] but with cross-device game saves, cleaner packaging, improved DRM, better support for complex nonlinear plot development, and better tools for developing game mechanics that go beyond clicking through paragraphs of text.

A mobile/desktop/web-friendly GUI library that handles both conventional UI elements and 2D graphics elegantly would be a total game-changer for that project, which I'm hoping to get back to eventually.

I won't go into deep detail on my last stab at this project, but it involved making my own Ruby DSL compiler, making my own Ruby-to-Nim FFI library, and SDL2. It was pretty cool, and much faster than you'd expect, but also not very portable, and also nowhere close to complete.

>As far as I can tell, the only cryptocurrency that actually delivers on its name (i.e. being used as a currency) is Monero. Sure, it's all drugs and stolen credit cards, but it does undeniably solve a real world problem for its users instead of just being used as a vehicle for speculative investment.

This is exactly my use case (the former not later) with Monero and it's been amazing. Only marginally more difficult than to shop on amazon and feels a million times less sketchy than trying to find something locally. The speculative nature of crypto is therefore more of an annoyance as it causes the price to fluctuate too much between paying, shipping, and fund-release.
TLDR: US relies solely on GPS satellites for broadcasting time and navigation data, which are increasingly vulnerable to militarization of space. The US decommissioned its backup ground radio-based LORAN system in 2010 and has no replacement or alternative. China by comparison has Beidou satellite GPS, a national LORAN system, and is building an underground fiber-optic system, for doubly-redundant backups to Beidou.
I think if you draw out the logical statements I've made one implication correctly. I claimed A implies B is a true statement and that if A implies B is true, that doesn't mean B implies A or ~A implies ~B. (although ~B does imply ~A if A implies B).

True:

A implies B: Printed money implies a rise of corruption
~B implies ~A: Low corruption implies money wasn't printed

False:

B implies A: A rise in corruption implies printed money
~A implies B: Not printing money implies low corruption

I did not say A and B are independent, I said A implies B, not A IFF B.

But you do need material wealth to launch them smoothly (a.k.a. minimize their college debt, so they aren't as financially disincentivized to make you grandchildren). A different metric from happy childhood or not.

“I'm extremely uninterested in the specifics of eugenics”. At least this is quite evidently true. And that's the problem. Sometimes details actually matter a great deal. Your mind is so wide open that its not grounded to any actual facts.

I really, really urge you to read a textbook about genetics. It’s really quite a bit more subtle and interesting than the pop-science stuff that you’re saying here.

I clip off annoying USB lights.

Instead of throwing away my MX Master mouse I gave it another life as a backup. This involved me trying to replace the battery but completely man handling the delicate tiny port, and still make it work.

There should be a balance though, an open ended research lab that is a non-profit and generates ideas is going to have a tough time getting funding.

Maybe this research lab should partner with something like YC so when an idea is nearing a production quality design, VC's can fund it to product fruition with some sort of royalty agreement with the research lab to fund more ideas.

I would think a lot of highly technical, actual scientists (not some dude who's been hacking at CRUD web apps for a couple decades, aka me) would love to work at a place where constant academia/VC pressure is set aside to allow more pure research to happen.
For you and anyone else, make sure you order a programming cable. The baofeng one works for the UV-K5. And when you go to use it, be aware that you’re going to have to press it into the radio far harder than you think. It will make a loud click the first time, and save you hours of troubleshooting!
I should add that our short term market-based approach to economic activity fails to produce appropriate housing outcomes, and that the approaches in Vienna or Singapore could end our homelessness crisis and make everyone happier. I recently read a doctor’s account of the homeless people who use the ER as a community space by complaining of minor illnesses, and it seems so clear to me it would be cheaper to give them small private subsidized housing (not the awful and alienating “shelters” that offer no privacy or storage and have strict rules, making the street more appealing). Fixing housing could be cheaper than them using the ER or paying for their prison space, and it would also make the streets of San Francisco smell a LOOOT better (and BART), but our short term market based system just chops up everything good, sells it for parts, and speculates on all the land and buildings.

> Swampy knew he was caught in a prisoner’s dilemma. If he went along, he was breaking the law; if he didn’t, whistleblowers who complained about unsafe practices were routinely terminated on grounds of violating the same safety protocols they had opposed violating.

How is it a prisoner's dilemma? Is it about cooperating with whisleblowers or defecting them?

It seems to me to be a mere dilemma, two choices, both bad. There was no interplay of cooperate/defect strategies.

Advanced INS drifts very slowly, it only needs to meet a precision target for a finite period of time. Military INS only accepts GPS corrections within the (classified) drift model and larger military platforms crowdsource position from a network of INS units distributed throughout the hardware to lower the noise floor. For this reason, the amount of deflection you can induce by spoofing GPS undetected in military systems is measured in meters, which for high-precision work might be enough. The trope that you can make a military system fly off in a completely different direction by spoofing GPS is fiction.

There is a fair amount of circumstantial evidence that state-of-the-art US military INS tech can exceed the precision of non-spoofed GPS for long durations. Some new military system specifications no longer accept GPS corrections.

It is important to note that US military INS is a different animal than what is widely available in the commercial world. It is exotic tech and a closely held secret that has been under continuous R&D for half a century. The ubiquitous laser gyros we use now in high-precision applications were developed for US military applications in the 1960s and eventually de-classified.

The way this "game" presents its "moral" without even trying to logically justify it is simply offensive.

The "bad" ending is not in any way connected to the project, with same success it could say you do nothing and in a year an asteroid falls on earth bringing the same nanowhatever.

The "good" ending is the hero saying that he wants to revert effects of "global warming". But if you have ability to build one millionth of Dyson swarm in space, global warming is not a problem, because you can build a planet level swarm to have fine grained control of weather, and revert, say, effects of earlier climate change that had converted Sahara into a desert.
> Action implies something changes (there is a state called "before" and state called "after"). But nothing changes "over there", we just now know what actually happened (there is no state called "before" or it's value is "unknown", only state called "after").

> using "action" suggests that something changes

By my understanding, the delayed part is important. It implies something did change as the state of the earlier entanglement will be different based on a measurement which occurs after the entangled state has been created. If this is correct, then there has been an "action" at a distance.

Though an alternative understanding could be that the state is set based on a future event which hasn't occurred yet. That would avoid needing an "action" to change the state after the entanglement event, but implies other things.

> Plus didn’t the Dreamcast use some weirdo variant of CD?

Yes, GD-ROM which through some tricks could fit something like 1GB on a disc. However what most pirated discs did was just stub out the FMV. Most games that used the full space on the disc did so because of FMV. Quite a few games would easily fit on a Mode-2 700MB CD-R with the FMV stubbed out.

This was thanks to the MIL-CD functionality of the Dreamcast which was only removed in very late models.
> It's worth reading, perhaps unless you're going to be flying on a Boeing plane anytime soon.

This is all bad for Boeing, but at the end of the day, nobody has died on an American carrier in a Boeing plane in a very long time.

Aircraft safety is layers on layers on layers. Let's not FUD people into thinking that flying on the worst plane Boeing has ever put out is anywhere comparable to the daily risks of driving.
The problem here is that large corporations trusted with public safety - be it flight safety in the case of Boeing; electical generation and transmission safety in the case of PG&E here in California - is that companies cater to Wall Street and bean counters rather than anything else. This is where the CPUC has failed in the case of PG&E and the FAA failed in the case of Boeing.

There should be oversight and public safety should play into private corporate governance for such things.
Digital IDs are becoming more and more a thing. Soon it will be quite easy to validate that someone is over 16 or require a parent to provide their ID and vouch instead.

EQ isn't rigidly defined, Peterson has been right on that metric, but I think to say it doesn't exist (or to equate it agreeableness) isn't right either. IMO, someone with poor EQ probably also demonstrates poor theory of mind (and I personally put Peterson in this camp).

High EQ, as a skill, is mostly charisma, and can be learned. Dale Carnegie is a good first step, but it also has to be practiced with other people (which is also why I find it hard to develop - you can practice math equations in solitude, but you it's very hard to practice charisma).
So much of the apologia for SBF is disgusting. I don't need to have any humility, because I don't steal from people. I don't throw colleagues and lovers under the bus when I get caught stealing.

The idea that he can get out in 25 years makes me sad with our justice system.

NO: Barnett's body was found in a vehicle in a Holiday Inn parking lot in Charleston on Saturday, police said.

Or you know this

The family says Barnett's health declined because of the stresses of taking a stand against his longtime employer.

"He was suffering from PTSD and anxiety attacks as a result of being subjected to the hostile work environment at Boeing," they said, "which we believe led to his death."

FROM: https://www.npr.org/2024/03/12/1238033573/boeing-whistleblow...

The man was found dead, with a sucide note (hand written) and his own gun in his hand.

You know what happens when gun owners get the urge to kill themselves. They kill themselves. Guns make suicide less of a cry for help and more or less "effective".

Any article that doesn't mention what his family had to say about the matter is not only creating a narrative, but they are openly disrespecting the family of a dead man to grab attention and headlines.

How about todays interview with his OWN FAMILY:

FROM HIS MOTHER: If this hadn't gone on so long, I'd still have my son, and my sons would have their brother and we wouldn't be sitting here. So in that respect, I do," Vicky Stokes said when asked if she places some of the blame for her son's death on Boeing.

OR THIS: Stokes and her son Rodney Barnett said they do not want to comment on whether they believe he died by suicide until the investigation by the Charleston police department concludes.
