The "why" is history. When I studied the past, I saw that in most societies the upper classes would gorge themselves on feasts containing the finest, fattiest meats while the lower classes would feed on left overs from the harvests. I say "history" like it's ancient but that was the reality of my previous generation: I literally grew up with my father telling me of his hardships, a major symbol of which was the fact there were times when he could not afford meat.

That's why it's an indignity to be reduced to eating insects. You can bet your house the billionaires of this world won't be eating them.

Feel strongly about it? A couple years ago in my country a president was elected partly by promising citizens they would be able to eat fine meat regularly again. He's a communist so of course he didn't deliver, and it looks like people are starting to feel the misery of it.

Also, global warming is not really a concern to me. Other countries have been destroying the planet for literal centuries and getting rich off it but when it's our turn to exploit our land we can't? I reject that notion.

People love to talk about the "externalities" of meat production. As far as I'm concerned, the biggest externality of all is the cost of my country not being rich and prosperous and developed. You know, like the former british empire with their famous steaks, now mostly represented by the US. They might want to factor that externality in before they talk to us about climate nonsense.

My belief is that the core purpose of ham radio is experimentation, so playing with modern protocols, modulation schemes and techniques is really important for it to remain relevant in the future. It can't forever exist as an HF/VHF AM/FM service forever. The future is AES/RSA, DSSS/CSS, internet access, and mobile mesh systems.

All that said, if we went to allowing it with a cleartext ID, how do you think the crypto scams would defeat that in a scalable way?
That is good news.

We ran our project on Google's K8s for $76 a month for quite a while. They provide one free Master. There is no way, EVER, that I would host K8s myself for the size of the projects I usually work on. But having a panic in one of my services at 1am, and K8s auto-restarting the pod is amazing. Namespaces even let us run three separate environments for that same $76. We have a couple thousand users per day who are in the app all day, so not a large project. We use other services like GCP Cloud Storage, Pub/Sub, PostgreSQL, etc. that require next to no setup. We are up to 3 nodes in our small cluster and still costing us less than $350 a month.

K8s is repetitive. You create one YAML for a service and the rest are similar. Rolling releases are a simple script. As small as our company and product is, I think K8s has been one of our best decisions.

Some things like MongoDB can quickly triple your costs though. We were able to pick technologies that kept the cost really low and stack maintainable.
My K5 also has a usb-c port for charging. AFAIK they are identical except for slightly different housing.

"number of milliseconds" gives you a representation that's highly efficient, and highly resilient, compared to a calendar-based time representation.

An offset from a known epoch has no dependency on any calendar-based time representation. Regardless of whether you call it 1 January 1970 00:00:00 or January 1 1970 12:00:00 AM, we can agree that that's a point in time that exists, and we can count the number of (seconds|milliseconds|whatever) since that instant and get the same result.

More concisely, an offset from a known epoch has no dependency on how many days are in a month, or seconds are in a minute, or how many nanoseconds are in a second, etc.

An offset from a known epoch is only trivially dependent on the length of any particular time unit. Need to convert a classic UNIX time to milliseconds? Multiply it by 1000. Did the governing bodies of the world decide to change seconds to be 5% longer? Divide by 1.05 before showing a value to the user.

Offsets from a known epoch makes it quite easy to perform important tasks like clock drift compensation, even wirelessly on teeny microcontrollers with a couple microamps of power. Ask me how I know.

When you deliver a client a time represented as an offset from a well-known epoch, you allow the client (and, thus, the user) to decide how the time should be represented. This improves readability an accessibility with less complexity than would be necessary to convert a calendar-based time format. Reduced complexity leads to reduced computational overhead and fewer opportunities for bugs to pop up.

Determining the epoch itself is non-trivial unless you use one that's already in widespread use. Thankfully, there are a few of those to choose from, like the UNIX epoch or Windows NT epoch. Some industries even have their own de facto standards [1]. But once you've picked an epoch, you have a system that's virtually maintenance-free until the integer saturates. Make the integer wide enough, and you can hope that computers will natively support larger integers by that point, making upgrades trivial. Or, make it so big that all of humanity will have been vaporised and the issue will be moot. In any case, you'll have a time representation that's more efficient and more maintainable than anything calendar-based.

This could be said for thousands of features.

For instance, you can also control your central heating / AC with a rocker switch, but most people opt for thermostats. If something can be made easier and more enjoyable (which ultimately enhances the experience), why not? In the case of Now Playing, spend 5 minutes online and you'll see that people absolutely love it (I too, before I opted for a custom ROM).

Then again, I believe we're both missing the point here: this is just one feature (out of thousands!) that can be pulled off with on-device AI. It shouldn't be used as a deciding factor for AI in general.
Both Madoff and SBF redlined the 2B1.1 "monetary amount of fraud" criteria, so the comparison is moot.

I generally agree, but the reason I want to nitpick is that the narrative we have implies that things will get better; and that in turn implies that they may have already, right under our noses.
I’m not sure why “it can’t work here”, even if it’s what every city says.

It did not work in the Netherlands either; in fact, after WW2, they imported “traffic planners”, i.e. people who want — and create! — traffic from the US, and set out to destroying their old city centers to create highways etc, until people said: enough!

To a greater or lesser degree, similar solutions work in Copenhagen, and in some German cities, and are starting to work in Paris, once one of the most car-crazed cities in Europe, and in other places.

I’m not saying it’s easy. I’m just saying that it can be done. It sure takes a lot of work, but it can be done.

Forgive me for going meta: Your "Socratic method" falls short when you ignore obvious context. You assumed the liat of reasons I stated was exhaustive, I clarified in my reply that it wasn't and then after another back-and-forth you suggested I may have "inadvertently" stumbled upon the the real reason of your concerns: complexity, which I suppose you felt you were strongly hinting at, but I had explicitly mentioned earlier.

You will save yourself and others time by steelmanning and front-loading your priors - especially in written discussion forums like HN...

I think this paper is cool and I love that they ran these experiments to validate these ideas. However, I'm having trouble reconciling the novelty of the ideas themselves. Isn't this result expected given that LLM's naturally learn simple statistical trends between words? To me it's way cooler that they clearly demonstrated not all LLM behavior can be explained this simply.
Is it "affirmative" as in "must be positive" or "affirmative" as in "let's not start by assuming this condition is an unalloyed negative"?

>just saying “speculation” as if thats not a use case misses that “financial services” are our biggest industry on the planet and thats mirrored in the blockchain space

This is such a great comparison! Crypto and "financial services" are both a massive waste of labor that produces zero material wealth and mainly exist to facilitate money laundering and further upward siphoning of wealth.

Decentralization of compute is perhaps a more compelling story. There have been many recent complaints of massive digital networks being at the whim of centralized IP and platform owners making unpopular decisions - whether in social media or games. Even non-profit and volunteer projects collapse when leaders abandon ship or become tyrants. What if open source code could also be extended to open decentralized hosting via micropayments - the direction of which all decided by users in a participatory format - whether via representative republic, direct democracy, or elected dictator?

The obstacle is human nature and ease-of-use friction - taking responsibility for maintenance and innovation and imposing a participatory need requires a modicum of awareness and willingness to contribute - even if only with pennies. This is annoying and wasteful red tape for most, and so corporations with strong advertisers and investors who can provide it cheaper or for free are obviously seen as the better choice. Co-ops and communes have this problem.

Inlining critical CSS seems to work best in SPA models that provide hydration, since they can choose to not request inline CSS on subsequent loads. But there can definitely be advantages to MPAs as well. Honestly I just find CSS a pain to untangle into the critical parts, so I don't usually bother.

Looking at your network graph real quick, you might be able to get away with simplifying GTM. I'm only seeing it load analytics, at least on the client side.

Normally this page is 824KB/15 requests. With an adblocker preventing GTM though, it's 655KB/8 requests. A pretty big reduction.

Also, I see it bootstrapping google-analytics.com/analytics.js, which if I'm not mistaken is the now-defunct GA3's analytics. Could that be nixed?

If you're using GA4, there might be lighter alternatives as well. Though it sucks to lose data continuity, most of their competitor are a _lot_ smaller in JS payload (Matomo, Plausible, umami).

Previously you could also just send the signals directly to GA using the Measurement Protocol, but it seems like they've made that a lot more difficult in GA4. Searching online, it looks like maybe GA4MP can do it, but I've not tested that tool.

You could also just load gtag.js rather than all of GTM if you're not using other tags, but that's still pretty heavy.

Outside of analytics, you might want to look at thumbnail generation. To take the worst offender, speed3.png is being rendered at 512px, but it's actually 2430px wide. Now sure this image is mostly white so it compresses well, but on most images that would make a big difference.

Lossy compression (via TinyPng.com) also brings this image down from 167KB to just 46KB. And if we first shrink it to the displayed resolution of 512px, then it shrinks to just 8KB. That's a 95% reduction from the original!

Image weight is less offensive than JS because it doesn't need to be processed. And if you're using size attributes (you're not), it also avoids CLS problems. But it's still often an easy win when it comes to reducing total page size.

If you wanted to be really fancy, you could generate multiple resolutions (for mobile, etc) and provide all of them in the <picture> tag. Or generate some more optimized format alternatives (webp, avif).

Realistically you probably have some limits due to using GitHub Pages. I do too, so integrating build steps to perform these kinds of optimizations is difficult. Maybe it's possible using GitHub Actions - that's something I'd like to look into for my own site.

Anyway, hope some of this information is helpful to you.
Congrats on launch!

OpenAI is supposed to be a nonprofit. But, when the nonprofit board tried to exercise control, it became very clear that the nonprofit arm is not, in fact in control any longer. The board was wiped out, nearly everyone in the company seemingly was willing to join Microsoft or Sam Altman or what not.

This doesn’t seem to be compatible with continuing loftily call themselves with the same name, as the initial nonprofit mission.

FDIC funds don't come from taxpayers. *Banks* pay FDIC insurance fees.

Now you can quibble if FDIC is paid by banks, or if you think the "costs are passed onto the customers". But bank-customers are not necessarily "tax payers". At very least, the vast majority of my cash is in VMFXX and SWVXX, so I personally have very little money in Checking/Savings (so I barely pay any kind of "banking insurance" fees in practice, just enough to keep my checking account open).

The little banking insurance that my money is going towards is my Checking account / Savings Account at a local Credit Union as well. Which is NCUA (not FDIC), so a totally different insurance program.

-------

So none of my personal wealth is actually tied to FDIC in any way, despite myself paying plenty of taxes all the time. I'm simply not a bank customer, so there's no way I personally am related to any FDIC related situation.

And plenty other people are like me as well.

It's balancing the value (of a human skin book cover) about substitution (a book cover of any other material).

It's not that human skin is being used for a purpose: it's that the purpose is trivial and provides no benefit above substitution.

It is possible to live well enough to raise children with "a job", requiring high school or maybe two-year technical college training, instead of a four year college degree and postgraduate degree as is required for "a career". A job with flexible hours.

We are talking about networks where every authorized endpoint is most certainly owned by the organization doing the telemetry.

Epinephrine does constrict small vessels, but I think it dialates the larger ones. Perhaps there would be some benefit there. Although an increased heart rate would be very bad if the dilation and increased BP wasn't able to put enough blood past the restriction.
Pricing? I'd like to use something like this to do an animated version of one of my books, but I'd want to be able to add music and obviously voices. I don't need lip sync since I'm looking for more of a video of a scene, perhaps with a character or two in that scene but not actually trying to fully animate them.

To do that I figure I would need about 5-6 minutes of video per chapter (perhaps less with some looping), and the ability to DL the video or otherwise export it (assuming I can upload my other media into your Composite tool) to put on YT or the like. And would probably want to lose the watermark in that case as well.
