Yes but it is still an excellent first-level screening tool. A few things can cause elevated PSA. Typically you will get retested a bunch of times to see if it comes back down to normal levels. But if it stays up you may be a good candidate for an MRI-guided biopsy to look for tumors.
/r/churning is notoriously unfriendly to newbies. They have absolute no tolerance for basic questions whose answer can be found via search. If anyone is reading this recommendation, just be a lurker there.

When I first applied for my CSR card many years ago, I was rejected by the web app. But a perusal of /r/churning led me to some powerful phone numbers where human customer service reps can override such rejections.

My kagi subscription is literally the best value subscription or recurring-charge item I have in any part of my life, online or offline.
Yeah, that's in the article. I should look at the emissions curve for various stages of red giant stars. Maybe it's a late phase red giant, and the planet was always far away? It would need increased emissions and then they would have to start going down again. It is kind of suspicious for life to start on a planet only after the star starts expanding into a red giant, but it might be a similar handwave to the characters being human like.

This is a magazine (note the "mag" in the hostname). The reason people read magazines is not to "get to the f'ing point": if you want that, find a newspaper or something. The intended audience of a magazine is people who actually want to have the leisurely fun of reading an article that isn't just long but might actively bury the lede or use rhetorical devices such as a false start... honestly, your comment -- which is itself three times longer than it "needs to be" to make your point, btw -- feels as insulting and asinine as someone complaining that Romeo and Juliet could have been summarized in five minutes or so, demonstrating that Shakespeare clearly didn't know how to write.

(And sure, maybe some articles are just bad, and don't have writing which captivates anyone, but an article is not a bad article just because it is long or just because can be summarized with fewer words by someone who merely wanted to "get to the f'ing point", and if you come into articles with that mindset you are also going to find slow movies extremely boring and whine about "nothing happened"; but... did you feel anything?)

You don't need to create your own kernel modules to define custom packet processing logic. You can map an RX/TX ring into userspace memory by invoking setsockopt on your XDP socket with the XDP_RX_RING, XDP_TX_RING and XDP_UMEM_REG options. Your XDP BPF program can then choose to redirect an incoming packet to the RX ring (see BPF_MAP_TYPE_XSKMAP).
So you pay Kagi money to de-enshittify Google as Kagi is a meta searcher. That model can only work temporarily. If the userbase becomes uncomfortably big, Google and the likes will simply cut them off. Kagi must know this. So my take is they use your money to build their own indexers to at some point not need the likes of Google. And do this without using VC money as a safeguard against future enshittification. This is why the price is what it is. I wouldn’t be surprised that when they are done and decoupled from Google Apple will buy them and make it part of their services offerings.
(First, thanks for the hint. Looking into trusts in general has been on my todo list, but also) I guess I'll embrace the ignorance fully. What if I have a pile of money and no house, do I need a trust? What amount of money or (future) house do I need to justify a trust? What does the trust even do for me?

Or maybe a better question, where's the "oops I have a pile of money, now what" literature I should read?
Most of your runtime objects are expected to be pageable in databases designed to support very high storage density because it is necessary as a matter of robustness and persistability. Even single runtime metadata structures may not reasonably fit in RAM in some cases. There are constraints on these objects (e.g. no vtables) but they are typically not PODs.

Even if they were PODs, changing the types and instances of types at a specific memory address without destroying the objects residing there can have side-effects. The compiler does not expect a live memory address to be overwritten with an arbitrary bucket of bits by a DMA operation. DMA doesn't respect lifetime and ownership models as understood by a compiler, so it is a bit of a Deus Ex Machina as far as the compiler is concerned and is assumed to never happen.

A lot of businesses give more than a 2% discount for cash. Personally I find that I instinctively tip less when I use cash than a credit card. The act of getting bills out of my wallet is viscerally more painful than writing numbers down, so I tip less without thinking.
Ask HN: How much does it cost to fine-tune an LLM? What services cam I use?
I'm a CS student at university right now, want to get into learning more about LLMs and their practical application. I'm still early in my education so I lack the background to understand how they work under the hood, but am still interested in using them to build something cool.

From what I have seen, fine-tuning a custom LLM like Llama is expensive and requires a GPU. Is there a way to do this for cheap? I know OpenPipe exists but it's hard to tell what it does and how I can use it. Any help would be appreciated.

Appreciate it.
Thanks for the USC reference, I read 5 counts but glossed over the fact that that was the indictment. And thanks for the piece on The Wire, that was a nice read.
I've networked my way to every job except my first one. You make friends at work, have lunches where they bring their friends from other companies or keep in touch with folks after they move on.

When you reach out, you'll hear a "Sure, we've got a spot open for <job>. Let me introduce you to the hiring manager," or "Send your resume to <mgmt-email> and tell them I sent you." A vouch is a powerful social tool.
PSA tests are easy and cheap enough that any concerning single result should be followed up with several more to see if there's an increasing / accelerating trend. An elevated but flat trend could be BPH, and as others have mentioned, a single elevated result can be caused by many things (prostatitis, etc).
By 2019 it was way gone. But in 2004 I reckon it was pretty good and not laggy at all on Linux. Or that’s what I remember.
There are conflicting studies. This is common. It's tough to put together randomized trials over a multi-decade period to get the highest quality data. But among oncologists there is very widespread agreement on the benefits of PSA testing.

At one of my jobs the entire team read at least a book a week, often more and seemingly non-stop. Every standup started with every person talking about what we'd read that week.

I'd never been a huge longform reader (more like a book a month, at best) and rarely had anything to contribute. Sometimes I'd say "our documentation" because that's what I'd been working on, and when I wasn't working _I wasn't reading_ because it was too much like work to enjoy.

It eventually got profoundly uncomfortable. My manager raised my non-participation as an example of how my attitude was turning too negative for the team. I'd find out from recorded team meetings when I was out sick or on vacation that they'd crack jokes about it when I wasn't around.

It particularly odd because I arguably read as much as anyone else on that team, but I preferred either technical content related to what I was working on, or shorter works like short-story collections and articles for fun. If I wasn't reading biographies and novels, it seemingly didn't count to them.
Yes it is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_right_to_resist

Yes it is. It definitely is. It's definitely very much a right to start killing soldiers if another country invades yours and starts occupying it.

Yes it is. Israel controls the borders, airspace, finances, communications, water, and so on. This amounts to occupation.

Your views are so very weird. IS in Sinai has executed people suspected of helping to supply weapons to the Gaza strip, they're at war with Hamas.
Yup, you just need to check out the author’s bio.
You're assuming it needs "fixing". A different possibility is that people are choosing the things they prefer and what you see if biased by those preferences. In the latter scenario there's no need to "fix" anything.

A lot of the office stuff can be handled by templates that allow only editing relevant parts - there's not really a need for majority of office workers to have access (and needing to know) all the features of an Office suite.

Over two decades ago I was tasked doing a pilot with IBMs Document Connect for Lotus Notes - it was clear that it pretty much was an Alpha they've been selling us, but it was showing promise. In the end it went nowhere, probably because not too many other companies were interested in trying out a different approach at handling their documents.

But if the system is unjust it is also our moral duty to attempt to dismantle it no?

Just accepting the system and abusing it is not going to make the world a better place. This is why other commenters are upset, as you blatantly abuse immoral structures.
I generally don't see people recommending teams, typically business users seem to prefer zoom while the ones who use teams are forced to because it's bundled with other Microsoft products.

Excel on the other hand is still miles better than Sheets for non-trivial use cases and I've seen business users revolt multiple times if you try to force them to use GSuite. To a lesser extent that's also true with Word and to an even lesser extent Outlook.

I haven't yet seen someone threaten to quit if they don't get a Teams license (but I have seen that for Zoom).

The interesting one is PowerPoint which I've noticed a lot of power users are migrating to Figma for. Also 10 years ago people would send nasty grams if they couldn't get Visio licenses but Lucidchart seems to have eaten that marketshare.

I hope there are more models trained on more precise inputs going forward. I understand that natural language feels the most futuristic but while it has the lowest barrier to entry it’s not only imprecise but also slow. Visual approaches (for example control nets in stable diffusion, image as input in Chat GPT, though both of these are somewhat bolted on), 2D semi-natural languages all merit further inquiry.

Another (and perhaps the ultimate) possibility is to have some way —- perhaps through simulations —- to directly expose the model to the problem, rather than having a human/natural language intermediary.

Agreed, prostate cancer is rare under age 40. 45 to 50 is a good age to get tested if there is no family history.

Other things:

- There is a very new multi-cancer blood test called Galleri that might catch it, but I think you have to be above age 50.

- You could potentially do genetic testing to look for markers but it's probably not worth the expense unless you have family history.

- There's also the old fashioned Digital Rectal Exam that feels for abnormally sized prostates, but chances are your PSA would already be elevated.

Yes, I think this was the primary reason actually. It only takes 1-2 times renting it before you realize that returning at 80% is a major hassle.

It's also a ridiculous stipulation since Hertz could easily charge the cars themselves. Instead they invested heavily in the EVs while keeping their archaic rule about returning at 80%. I wonder how much they could have made without this.

If they allowed returning at 20% it becomes less hassle than a gas car because many trips wouldn't require any charging at all and a much better user experience.

Filling up and then expensing gas while running late for a flight is super stressful, trying to charge an EV in that same scenario is like 10x worse.

Google ads are inline and pose as search results. “Sponsored results” are a deceptive name for “paid advertisements.” The first actual result is often below the fold on modern Google.

Of course the act of visiting Google is the beginning of the monetization. It’s not just an adware company it’s a spyware company as well. This is why their service is free.

And why Kagi is not.
> People keep saying “right to a violent resistance” but it’s not a thing

Your link says it is a thing:

“In international law, the right to resist is closely related to the principle of self-determination. It is widely recognized that a right to self-determination arises in situations of colonial domination, foreign occupation, and racist regimes that deny a segment of the population political participation. According to international law, states may not use force against the lawful exercise of self-determination, while those seeking self-determination may use military force if there is no other way to achieve their goals.”

> Gaza was not occupied,

Gaza was openly occupied until 2005, and after that Israel “disengaged” but still actively patrolled Gaza’s waters, maintained what was in effect a free fire zone on the Gaza side of the border (with declared entry rules and prohibitions within certain distances, but the shootings occurred both well beyond the declared distances and when civilians were complying with the declared conditions), and otherwise used military force to effectively dictate conditions inside Gaza.

Moreover, Palestine remains occupied whether or not the Gaza piece of it is.

I don’t understand what you mean. Kagi is its own search engine. It isn’t a “meta searcher.” It also searches other engines but has it own index. If Google cuts it off, it uses its own and the others.
Ah, it was unclear to me whether we'd reverted to talk about the article, but the duplication of 19 years answers that.

In any case, I guess-- it's complicated. We have this guy who was seemingly a different person for nearly 35 years, but then reverted to do something terrible (and similar to things he had done in the past) when it all threatened to come crashing down. And the other guy who was someone different for 19 years.
Unfortunately Sandstorm's approach, ie rewrite all the apps to fit a specific ecosystem, hasn't taken off either. I think docker with a little extra tooling for managing updates and backups is likely to be the solution eventually.

Kagi is one of those things that immediately clicks once you actually use it.

Then you do a quick cost benefit analysis: how much money am I really saving when I use a "free" search engine that is intentionally shitty? If it takes me 2 hours to find a solution to something that took kagi 10 minutes,I've effectively saved almost 2 hours of my time and money. I can actually be more productive. Less headaches and frustration too.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the C++ coroutine push was for a perf. packet in some big tech company. Promo is hard.

Meanwhile, the same optimizations one could use for efficient coroutines could just as well be applied to fibers, which are much nicer.
I think this is an important perspective. It helps clarify prompting as well because, used in a certain way, they are effectively natural language specification of constraints which have the effect of 'partially configuring' the network so that its inference selects from the configuration space of its still free params

For example, if you tell it to reply in JSON (and it obeys), you've just constrained its search space in a particular way. There is space for very interesting informal programming that can be done from this perspective, setting up constraints and then allowing inference to solve within them. I've been using this heavily.

When I was first getting deep into LLM stuff a few months ago and contemplating latent space my main characterization was that much of its high level behavior can be usefully grappled with by viewing it as a kind of 'learned geometric prolog'.

I did a bunch of illustrations and talked about some of these ideas here if anyone's curious: https://x.com/Westoncb/status/1757910205478703277 (I think I mostly dropped the prolog terminology in that presentation because not everyone knows about it)
Tailscale is awesome, but requiring anyone you want to share data or apps with to install Tailscale leaves a lot of simple interactions off the table.
Yeah, and out of that fear, people often use stacks that require vast amounts of knowledge to actually keep things working at all, at any scale. Kubernetes is the best example where I don't trust me to keep the wheels on because it's scalable.
