skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
This is a total misunderstanding of current machine learning, of how you should run experiments to avoid training on the test data, and of what performance means.

First, tuning the hyperparameters of a CNN to gain <2% improvement on a dataset when you're constantly looking at the answers is meaningless! You're double-dipping into the data. You look at the performance, then you tune some part of the network by hand, see if it helps, and then keep doing that. It's testing on the training data. This is totally statistically bogus! Never mind that the variance between runs wipes out a lot of these differences. And that this performance difference doesn't matter to any problems in the real world. The results at the end show none of this matters. This is really just the worst kind of performance hacking ML that contributes nothing at all.

Second, the point of modern ML is not to perform well on ImageNet-1k! No one cares about ImageNet-1k. No one needs to classify ImageNet-1k in real life. The goal is to generalize to new data that the customer has. For that, a ViT trained at scale is far better than a CNN trained on a small dataset.

> But small models (e.g. most embedding models) are arguably more important because of their portability and adaptability, and these models benefit greatly from the exact type experiment of outlined in this post: strong augmentation with limited data trained across many epochs. This is exactly the type of data that Imagenet-1k represents.

This is totally mathematically bogus and ignorant of like the past 10+ years of machine learning. I cannot believe that someone that has a job working in ML would write something like this. Much less someone who works at a vector database company!

ImageNet-1k represents basically garbage for embedding models. What you want is a ViT that's seen massive amounts of data so that your embeddings don't become degenerate because they're far away from ImageNet-1k! Almost everything is far away from ImageNet. It's an extremely narrow slice of the possible images.

It also confuses the size of the training data with the size of the model. Again, a confusion that would make much more sense 10 years ago. Just because a ViT has seen a lot of data doesn't mean it needs to be big; it could have started out big and been distilled down. From the NLP world we've learned that there are absolutely tiny embedding models, just a few MB in size, that work amazingly well; they can even beat multi-GB models.

As an ML researcher, I can't believe anyone would write this article today. I'd fail a student if they wrote this.

If it’s unprocessed beef it could be considered a whole food — but often people don’t bother checking the ingredients for the meat they buy and just assume that it doesn’t have things added.

That said, there is research that points to eating too much beef and other red meats potentially being bad for health.

So I guess vacation, hours worked per week, parental leave, life expectancy, and quality of life are all trivial to you… got it. Income is basically all you’re focusing on. People in Denmark are as free, if not more free. You’re just defining freedom as money. They get more time off, have free universities, and practically everyone makes a good/living wage and can take vacation and parental leave. Only Americans in the top 20% would have anything comparable to what their average McDonald’s worker has. Americans are much less free at our jobs than the Danish or average European—yay freedom/capitalism and right to work laws.
I don't think so (but I am a bit tired today, so maybe something I wrote makes no sense :)).

Homelab is physically connected to the router whereas the laptop is connected via Wifi. It was the cable from the Wifi AP to the router that was dodgy which caused the issue.

It's an Official AI Detector from The Company That Does AI, so it's going to be treated as completely authoritative. Humans will interpret probabilistic measurements like "this was likely written by" or even "there is an 86% chance this was written by" as meaning "this definitely, factually, without a shadow of a doubt was written by AI". And there are many circumstances where being adjudged to have written something with AI will have serious consequences for the accused.

That tool had to be almost perfect, if not actually perfect, to exist. And it decidedly was not. I think the AI safety people are somewhat contemptuous but this is not the tree to be barking up imo.

I saw the pricing page hit HN about a year ago. I sent it to non tech friends in a group chat as a laugh.

I'm trying to think of when I'd want to pay for this.

If I have to put a link to an image somewhere to be able to refer to it anonymously on someone like Reddit or HN (that is, I want someone to see an image, but I don't want to give them a personally-identifiable account) I'm ok posting to Imgur. Sure, I don't like being the product, but I have an ad-block, I do it like twice a year, and it's not enough to pay $12 for.

If I want to actually share photos or something with people I know, I'll use Google Photos.

If I need to share an image with someone professionally, I'll use Google Drive.

So with that, you can go a long way by not exposing anything at all to the internet. If you want to host private services use a VPN or zt mesh like nebula.

We're working on AI tools for developers (autocomplete, chat, and more unannounced things). We train our own LLMs from scratch and have over 1M downloads across our surfaces. We have many paying enterprise customers and have raised a total of $93M from Kleiner Perkins, Greenoaks, and Founders Fund.

We're hiring for many roles, but in particular are looking for software generalists and Deployed Engineers, which are more heavy on the customer interaction than code (https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/codeium/fd2ca49f-ae99-487c-8a52-75d...). No ML or systems experience required. We also have fall software engineering internships available.

That's

(a) not exploitable without the existence of a much higher-severity exploit -- sure you can clear the screen, but that's low impact

(b) possible to trigger on other extant paths; see https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/issues/2107 so it seems nothing new was introduced

(c) kind of contrived to get to execute; you have to somehow fail to extract the archive but on the happy path you'll see a bunch of weirdly-named files

I think it's distinctly higher-probability that this change was just meant to build credibility for the GitHub account. The diff is a fairly trivial patch to a minor issue filed around the same time as the pull request.
Yep. That would be a classic sort of k-means problem. Just throw them all into a standard embedding, like the OA API embeddings, run k-means from sci-kit, then convert them into a list-of-lists: one RSS item (containing a list of title-URLs) per cluster.

* Sleep is vital to recharging mentally, restoring our bodies physically, and fighting off disease. Sleep is so core to our health that it's the activity we all spend most of our life doing.

* Yet sleep disorders are some of the most underdiagnosed health conditions on the planet, with an estimated 80% of obstructive sleep apnea patients undiagnosed and untreated

* EnsoData uses machine learning, integration with esoteric binary data storage formats, and Flask-powered Python APIs with React SPA frontends to automate sleep study scoring and give sleep clinicians tools to find and help patients with sleep disorders.

* We're hiring a product manager to manage the discovery process, pitch product opportunities and analyze opportunity costs, and break down projects into whiteboard mock sketches and releaseable slices.
My understanding of the comment is that “changing everything” should be understood in the context described by the begining of the comment. That is their organisation would stop using FramaForms, and the commenter would stop working on their replacement skunk project. That is all of those mentioned plans/activities would change drastically.

It wouldn’t change literally everything. The Sun and the Earth will continue to orbit around a shared barycenter. Humans will continue to breath oxygen. Carbon will continue to form four covalent bonds per atom. Some boys will continue to think a lot about some girls, etc etc.
The speed increases are nothing to sneeze at; I've moved a few Vite projects over to Bun and even without specific optimizations it's still noticeably faster.

A specific use case where Bun beat the pants out of Node for me was making a standalone executable. Node has a very VERY in-development API for this that requires a lot of work and doesn't support much, and all the other options (pkg, NEXE, ncc, nodejs-static) are out-of-date, unmaintained, support a single OS, etc.

`bun build --compile` worked out-of-the-box for me, with the caveat of not supporting native node libraries at the time—this 1.1 release fixes that issue.
Sure lots of people don't care, but if you save money on DRM subscription fees and see a tiny bump in sales it could be worth the tiny amount of dev time. Assuming you set it up to be easily removed ahead of time.
I submitted something about this the other day (and it got flagged)- poked around a little bit and the only interesting thing I could find is this: https://github.com/huggingface/chat-ui/issues/254 and I don't really even understand what it is, it references the stuff the dude who wrote this is discussing. I had kinda written the whole thing off as someone with too much time on their hands and is just f'ing around with stuff for whatever reason.

I think they made this as well: https://chat.openai.com/g/g-KT4gusP3Y-a-l-i-s-t-a-i-r-e-earl... - it doesn't seem very useful.

*¯\_(ツ)_/¯ to me after spending an hr or so poking around, it seemed like a bored modern tech savvy young person playing around.
The make a little red light go on by having the API be: is this spanmy looking enough to tell people to read carefully and check citations. And just say nothing the rest of the time. That light is a game changer at “sure enough to warn” if it comes on the 5% of the time that it’s sure.

Besides, other people are offering this or will soon, so they have an obligation to push the performance via competition.

And who put them in charge of trying to set society’s policies on this: it’s the wildest overreach by far in an industry known for wild unilateral overreach.

It’s nearly wordy enough to be seen as an elaborate satire on why tech savvy should pay for an image host.

If you seriously want to bother maintaining a solution your market has out grown then strip it down to pure utility. Remove all copy, branding, colors, and lower price to $2/year.
Agree. However I feel that there may still be many priors that are useful in practice, like decomposing the vision task into a hierarchy of sub problems, but as a human - I could be biased.
> because the pipeline is drying up for Junior Developers

How do you know this is due to AI and not poor economic conditions?

> Now just about any Senior Developer with Copilot can be that fabled 10x developer

While 10x can mean a lot of different things, I think it’s safe to say it’s not related to how fast you literally write code. I don’t see how Copilot is 10x’ing senior devs, unless they’re copying yaml all day (those tasks would be automated eventually, anyways).

> Anecdote: I have friends who are hiring, each open position is now receiving thousands of applications

Additional anecdote: 90% of those applications are worthless - as in you’re not even sure they’re real people worthless.

To the OP: maybe your software skills will be replaced by AI, though if that happens most other white collar jobs are done as well.
The release tarball contained code that can't be generated from the repo, no matter what settings you use.

JiaT75 created the release on GitHub which involves creating a description and uploading tarballs. Their PGP key has been used to sign them since May 2023.

1. The repo contained two test xz files which contained the obfuscated exploit .o file

2. JiaT75 created the release on GitHub which allows you to upload your own tarball for the release.

3. The release tarball contained a modified build-to-host.m4 that extracted the exploit .o so it would be linked into the library if building on a Linux x86-64 machine.

4. Fedora/Debian/whoever pulled the release source tarball from GitHub and ran their builds for x86-64 Linux which caused the exploit .o file to be linked into the binary they then packaged up for release

Then watermark the output and say if they wrote it. Between a binary classifier in the age of adversarial training, and any level of watermarking, you’d be able to say which minor version printed it.
In my view at least, DevOps is more of a philosophy, whereas platform engineering is a specific, integrated approach in the spirit of that philosophy.

The former is about keeping a tight and integrated loop between development and operations.

Platform engineering is about developing a specific platform to expose to developers which should embrace that goal and offer tangible benefits to both developers and operations specialists, making it easier for them to iterate, share information and automate processes.

In reality, there is always some level of disconnect and tension between the two, but the point is to develop tooling and automation to close that gap as much as possible.
