Long Context is great and all, but it sucks that all of these LLM's have really poor output length. If I feed something an entire book and ask for a comprehensive summary then I'm expecting at least a full 3-page summary. I get that they try to force these things to be "concise" to save on compute, but good lord it's so annoying.
This doesn't bother you? If not, how come?
I see a lot of similarity between indie book stores, and bicycle shops. Both ebb and flow as seasons, tastes, and availability change, in addition to competing with big box and online stores. They are part of our communities that appeal and serve broad segments of people, supporting them should be encouraged.
I disagree with your assessment for all the reasons other people have said.

However, the other thing I'd point out is that murder is rarely a federal crime - it's usually a state crime. I was curious as to when it becomes a federal crime and found this: https://www.greenspunlaw.com/library/when-murder-is-a-federa...

Dollars-to-donuts that the vast majority of federal murders here were drug related. Not that I think the that makes it in any way better, but in many ways gang violence is more of a war than an individual, targeted killing. These types of circumstances matter when it comes to sentencing, and I'm not surprised at all that SBF's sentencing is longer than you "average" federal murder sentencing.
Same for Budapest. One Budapest would be fine.
I think budget/luxury tags would be good without being too price specific, although I imagine many trips would be both/neither.

Perhaps you could have tags for things like budget, luxury, family appropriate/kid friendly, educational, relaxing, etc.
I don't want to want to discount the possibility that this would be the ambitious endeavor of an actor with otherwise small-time-crook vibes, but I think it's more likely to be a nation state with bigger plans than getting rich.

Some people don't write software to show off.
There were a lot of cool open source projects in the past: fvwm, scilab, octave, xsnow, magic, xcircuit, xfig, gimp, blender, mplayer and so on and so forth.

The issue today is that people see open source as a way to use something free to make money but this does not work most of the time.
Wrong frequency range - these handhelds are designed for 2m and 70cm, and CB is 11m. You'd have to do a lot of tricky hardware modification first, and then hook it up to a rather large antenna for a handheld.

Honestly I feel more vindictive toward the IRS and CA FTB who steal way, way, way more of my money and don't do anything useful with it. I still get cars smashed and I don't have free healthcare or high-speed rail.

SBF's crime is a lot smaller in comparison.
Ask HN: Where do you send your metrics?
How do you collect application metrics? For example, how do you keep track of the count of jobs your backend does?
You seem to be drawing a distinction here between companies that are building something for blockchain vs building something for people.

Alright, I'll bite, here are some projects that use blockchain for things besides trading tokens or improving blockchain technology:

- https://sarcophagus.io/

- https://www.gitcoin.co/

- https://docs.kleros.io/

There's many more. Many don't have a lot of adoption, and I don't know if they will. But at the very least it's often interesting to see how traditional systems are reimagined in order to enable decentralized, trustless, computer programs (with humans interacting at the perimeter) to fulfill roles which would traditionally be filled by centralized, trusted intermediaries (often humans).

If for no other reason than getting a front seat as many of them fall apart spectacularly but also because it's intellectually fascinating to see problems approached in an inverted manner.
That is an insane price spike for cocoa. 239% price increase YoY!
The second question is also fair. Microsoft's interest is for it's AI to encourage you to continue to use MS-based products or services. It may very well be in MS's interest to maintain a healthy relationship with various governments too, which causes propaganda (whether "voluntary" or mandatory).
Well also they made a percentage on any money coming in and out of FTX. That gave them a buffer of profit, a free money machine basically.

That could paper over any problems until the problems became big enough to sink them.

Really, my preferred punishment for him would be a sentence of 25 years working in a non-managerial, non-ownership hourly position in the quick-service restaurant or janitorial fields, earning not more than the Federal minimum.

I use vim and geany and code::blocks and np++ for different things at different times.

geany, codeblocks, and np++ are all scintilla, so what I am really saying is I use both "something like vim or emacs" AND scintilla, and there is no dichotomy.

And what is "something like vim or emacs"? The two are nothing like each other.

Anyone who used either vim or emacs already knows why they do so, and already knows that none of the reasons anyone will say they like any normal editor will apply. Everything anyone says will either be something vim or emacs already has their own answer for, or will be things they actively don't want.

Question seems somewhere between disingenuous to inexplicable. I would say rather than an actual request for information, it was just to say "I like vim or emacs", except "I like vim or emacs" makes no sense because they are not substitutions for each other.
It's the plasma—the hot dog was just a convenient path for the energy to flow. The actual material vaporized pretty quickly, definitely don't touch a live AM tower while standing on the ground. And probably ever, unless it's locked out and de-energized! (Especially if you're not a radio engineer or tower climber.)
You're right. If we define zero trust as not trusting by default the users, their devices, and the network perimeter, then yes it's compatible with TLS interception. But if the rationale is that vulnerabilities can happen anywhere, why not extend the principle of "never trust, always verify" to servers and network equipments as well, especially when they can intercept and decrypt everything?
For me, I don't think I feel the same way as you (my loss was small). There have been many cases where white collar crime which has similar (or greater) financial ramifications as the example of mugging you give, but the punishment is generally significantly lower (if at all). Granted a mugging could have differing levels of direct emotional impact, but white collar crime generally ends in lighter sentences.

SBF and Elizabeth Holmes deserve their sentences.
Punishment should be good enough deterrent for others. Otherwise it would be worth for someone to consider to commit a first time non-violent crime to steal e.g. $10m and get 5 years sentence, suck it up (or even commit such crime in country that has good prisons like nordic countries) and then enjoy retirement after still being young (after hiding your cash loot). Most people will never earn such money during 5 years and many will never earn during lifetime.
Until property taxes eventually push them out as it has done in some urban communities. Ownership is huge but prices will always rise so I think it's hard to ever let their guard down.
Store of value is a narrative which became dominant in the libertarian fueled Bitcoin community. There is so much more happening:
- Anonymous and bordeless payments, digital cash, the whole point of Bitcoin in the first place
- DeFi, basically fully FOSS, permissionless trustless financial system where people can take loans, get interest on savings, trade, etc
- Identity, being able to verify reputation and decentralized naming like ENS
- Space for artists and pseudo-artists to serve a niche but sizable clientele of NFT buyers
- Funding public goods, regenerative finance employed by crypto communities is probably the best way of funding FOSS I have seen
- DAOs and coordination mechanisms for decentralized communities

I think kelseyfrog meant that the state for a mamba model is supposed to "remember" stuff even if it doesn't have the actual tokens to reference any more. It might not be guaranteed to hang on to some information about tokens from a long time ago, but at least in theory it's possible, whereas tokens from before a context window in a tradional llms may as well never have existed.
I think part of the issue and what the judge didn't like is he doesn't seem to have any remorse.

New Study Unravels the Paradox of Creative Consensus
Long before people were modding these I got one for $20 CAD from Aliexpress. The speaker only works intermittently, requiring me to push on the case to get it to work (I guess there's a weak solder joint or something). I contacted the seller and of course just got infinite runaround. Either way, "buyer beware", these things are insanely cheap for a reason. Basically a dollar-store HT. :P

Distance is not the only parameter in the cost function of a food.

Weight, reliability, predictability, spoil-ability, ease of growing, etc. all lend themselves to bananas being an “easy” food item, hence the supply is sufficient to keep prices low.
If you consider the murder closure rate in most cities, selective enforcement of violent crimes seems absolutely normal - the cops simply will not find everyone who kills someone and track them down. They're not very good at it.

This undermines a lot of the certainty of punishment and therefore the deterring factor of law enforcement, of course.
Ah, in this instance, I was thinking of finance, and other industries, where network inspection is required by regulators.

Perhaps if a network were highly segmented, one could find a way to get away from intercepting all employees. Anyone with access to business data, though? That's the way it is.
It is endlessly bizarre to me that we went through a period of almost two decades when we didn't have mechanical keyboards. I hoarded Northgate Omnikeys and Apple Extended Keyboard IIs (and AT and ADB adapters!) and managed to avoid the truly terrible membrane keyboards of the late '90s through the early teens, when mechanical keyboards were almost entirely unavailable. (I was never a buckling spring fan.)

Now, in the last five years, mechanical keyboards are "in". All the cool kids are using them! I don't blame them - and I use a Keychron these days - but seriously, for us olds, it's weird. Why now? Why didn't these remain a thing? Why didn't normal people complain more about the awful membrane keyboards? Strange.
Thanks for making a video & detailed feedback! It's super helpful hearing your take. We'll definitely work on adding real use cases and vision to our home page.

Main users are people that make presentations and communicate data. It's not one specific role, as this could mean PMs, tech leads, BizOps, Data Scientists, etc. Specific workflows: weekly product updates, post mortems, ad hoc analyses, all-hands, board decks, revenue updates. Anything where understanding data is important.

Also, in your video description you linked the wrong startup homepage!
There are traditional ways to send money without giving out a secret, like Apple Pay. But there's plenty of fraud in the other direction, people accepting charges with stolen payment info that end up being reversed. It's always a little the merchant's job to decide whose "money is no good here," and that's because of laws.

Show HN: Research market trends or find companies by domain or risk exposure
Public traded companies in the US have to submit annual (10-k) reports to the SEC. These reports contain lots of interesting information, including a detailed description of the company’s business as well as risk factors that the company faces, and so are an important resource for investment research. These reports are publicly available on the SEC website, and the SEC has some advanced search functionality (https://www.sec.gov/edgar/search/). However, from my experience the SEC search tool is more helpful if you already know what you are looking for. I wanted to search broadly among companies based on terms that appear in the Item 1. Business and Item 1A. Risk Factors sections of the 10-K annual report. The sample searches from the home page offer interesting examples of how to use the tool. In one capacity you can think of this as like “Google Trends” for SEC 10-k annual reports.

Currently my data set includes almost all annual reports for the last 20 years for companies belonging to the S&P 500 or Russell 2000 stock indices, with plans to expand coverage to other companies as well. The project (https://github.com/kyleleelarson/sec-search) is written in Go (web scraping and data management separately in Python), using Elasticsearch as the search backend. I am using Cloudflare and a GCP instance to host.

Comments and suggestions are appreciated.
Yeah exactly like this. It is a subtle art of validating in small scale a method you would later use at large scale.

But you don't know if the new drug is going to be better or worse. Sometimes the placebo arm has a better outcome than the drug arm.

And, unfortunately, sometimes they really mess up the statistics. Consider that huge trial from some years ago that declared hormone replacement for menopause symptoms definitely bad. No, despite the huge size of the study they made a fundamental mistake in recruiting participants--all that study actually proved is what was long known: fat women shouldn't be on hormone replacement.

Punishment does work. What do you imagine instead? Nothing? Quoting [0]:

First, that punishment has three purposes – retribution, rehabilitation, and deterrence – does not entail that each of these purposes must be realized in a given act of punishment in order for that act to be morally legitimate. For example, we may justly imprison a recidivist thief even if we know from experience that he is extremely unlikely to change his ways as a result of his imprisonment and even if circumstances make it unlikely that his particular imprisonment will deter other thieves. Similarly, the fact that a given act of capital punishment may not fulfill all of the ends of punishment does not by itself suffice to make that act morally illegitimate.

Second, while there is obviously a sense in which capital punishment can prevent rehabilitation, there is also a sense in which it actually facilitates rehabilitation. How so? Consider first that a wrongdoer cannot truly be rehabilitated until he comes to acknowledge the gravity of his offense. But the gravity of an offense is more manifest when the punishments for that offense reflect its gravity – that is to say, when the principle of proportionality is respected. A society in which armed robbery was regularly punished with at most a small fine would be a society in which armed robbers would have greater difficulty coming to see the seriousness of their crimes, and in which they would for that reason be less likely to be rehabilitated. Similarly, a society in which even the most sadistic serial murderers are given the same punishments as bank robbers is going to be a society in which sadistic serial murderers will have greater difficulty in coming to see the seriousness of their crimes, and thus will be less likely to be rehabilitated.

Important safety tip, Egon; thanks.
Non-deterministic doesn't mean random. Random means random. Non-deterministic means that specific inputs don't generate the same outputs. It says nothing about the distribution of the output values. A chaotic system isn't random, its just non-deterministic.
I think it is correct to include practical implementation costs in the selection.

Theoretical efficacy doesn’t guarantee real world efficacy.

I accept that this is self reinforcing but I favor real gains today over potentially larger gains in a potentially achievable future.

I also think we are learning practical lessons on the periphery of any application of AI that will apply if a mold-breaking solution becomes compelling.
Yes, you can put the videos on YouTube. The video will have the Eggnog watermark, but once you download it, you can do whatever you want with it. In face, we hope you put it on YT, TikTok, or anywhere else. We do want to drive traffic to our site, but in the early days, we don't have much traffic to offer to creators, so we want creators to share where their audience already is.
You have every right to take what you like from it, but I'd suggest that perhaps you're not seeing what others are if all you get is a morality play. As one example, maybe spend some time thinking about why you apparently missed that it's intentionally left ambiguous as to whether the child is even real in the story's world.

As I understand it a local maxima means you’re at a local peak but there may be higher maximums elsewhere. As I read it, transformers are a local maximum in the sense of outperforming all other ML techniques as the AI technique that gets the closest to human intelligence.

Hardware, or at least purely computational hardware, will never get the same accolades as the software that actually makes it do something.

Interface hardware, being is perceptible to the senses, gets credit over software.

E.g. when people experience a vivid, sharp high resolution display, they attribute all its good properties to the hardware, even if there is some software involved in improving the visuals, like making fonts look better and whatnot.

If a mouse works nicely, people attribute it to the hardware, not the drivers.

If you work in hardware, and crave the appreciation, make something that people look at, hear, or hold in their hands, not something that crunches away in a closet.
Ask HN: Are manual deployment rollbacks dead?
I have been doing some user research on release processes of various companies, and was surprised to learn that very few companies do manual rollbacks anymore.

To be clear, from my understand there are two types of rollbacks:
- automated rollback: when there is an infra failure or a serious outage detected during a rollout or full deployment, most modern CD systems can detect those and fallback to the last deployment.

- but there are also manual rollbacks where you notice a spike in an application error and manually rollback to the last safe version. It seems like in most cases, teams prefer to roll forward with a fix vs rolling back.

Curious if that is a common trend or am I missing something?
No, he can be released after 12.5 years due to time credits for good behavior. Time credits used to be capped at 15% of the sentence, but due to the relatively recent "First Step" Act it's now 50%.

I just ordered the UV-K5 from Amazon sold by Quansheng and it is labeled as having USB C charging.

There's also a third party seller with an item description of "UV-K6 UV-K5(8)". That listing seems fishy.

I don't see a "UV-K6" listed on the Quansheng web site [1].

EDIT: After more research it looks like the UV-K5(8) is also known as the UV-K6 [2]. I'm curious which model I receive.

I'm pretty sure that this is part of the code that implements fraud proofs on Arbitrum One, which is one of the few L2s to currently have fraud proofs.

It seems to me that Optimism is lagging way behind - I'm not sure if they have fraud proofs yet even to this day. I consider Arbitrum to have "picked up the torch" so-to-say.
