It really depends on the application. If a company wants to provide a premium verifiably carbon-neutral product, instead of some sham carbon credit scheme, they can swap out their fuels to carbon-neutral versions.

There's perhaps some use in capturing excess solar during times of negative prices and instead driving electrolysis. That hydrogen could either be used to sell back to the system when prices are at their highest, or export to another place. As solar enters over-capacity, such plants could be useful.
If you think that volume is a replacement for quality, you really need to read more. If you think volume is correlated with intelligence, you really need to read and write more.

Asteroseismology of Compact Stars
I don't think they were using complexity as the reason for that assumption, but instead goals. Adding security doesn't require a nation state's level of resources, but it is a more attractive feature for a nation state that wants to preserve it over time and prevent adversaries from making use of it.
That may well be the case, but it feels deeply epistemologically wrong to me to say “I am certain about X” just because being certain about X might come with certain psychological advantages. Not much good follows from that line of reasoning applied to many other issues.

I also don’t think “it’s quite plausible that there is free will but I’m agnostic about it” is a particularly harmful position to have.

The next token is taken by sampling the logits in the final column after unembedding. But isn't that just the last token again? Or is the matrix resized to N+1 at some step?
It cuts both ways — there are companies that know how to build a car well, but have no clue how to manage batteries, use electric motors efficiently, and are institutionally incapable of writing even half-decent software.

So far it seems that tech and battery companies (Tesla, BYD) may catch up on the car things quicker than Toyota or Stellantis learn how to make an EV drivetrain that doesn't suck.
What's up with the snark?

There are many reasons why one wouldn't want to live in Dubai.
I was stationed in Dubai for work for two years, I know the place very well.
Overall, I would say Dubai is very different than how it is portrayed in western media. Personally I find it amazing how much the place has grown in such a short time span.

But I have chosen to live in Switzerland(not my native country), a country more aligned with my personal values. Freedom for the individual, a strong democracy, a diverse culture, with people who genuinely care about the planet and their neighborhood.

But I do think a person grows when they are forced to live in cultures very different from their own.
You don't know that we're unaware when "unconscious" just that we're unresponsive, and we don't have memories of that time. There is evidence that the senses are still active and a lot of brain activity continues.

There is evidence that the human brain contains many consciousnesses, just look into research on split brain studies. I'm sure you've had the feeling of being aware of what was going on but feeling powerless to stop your behavior, as if you were a passenger in your body, at some point in your life, maybe there's more to that than we want to believe.
Okay this got me.

ReALM: Reference Resolution as Language Modeling
If anyone's interested in the Sea Peoples and the Late Bronze Age, I recommend 1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed by Eric H. Cline. It gives a great overview of the primary sources and evidences for the factors leading to the Late Bronze Age collapse, including the role the Sea Peoples may have played as both a cause and symptom of larger societal issues.

If we learned that dogs where less conscious or even not conscious would you be okay with treating them poorly?

What I am really saying is I don't think people love their dogs because of there level of consciousness. Its everything else that matters.

And on the contrary, creating a vulnerability that’s not identifiable to a limited attack group provides for a bit more deniability and anonymity. It’s hard to say which is more favorable by a nation-state actor.
In any case the ROI for correlating SSH logs against network traffic is potentially error prone and may be more noisy than useful (can you differentiate in logs between SSH logins from a private IP and a public one?).

An EDR tool would be much better to look for an attacker’s next steps. But if you’re trying to catch a nation state they probably already have a plan for hiding their tracks.
You can do it on a single machine if you use the TPM to create log hashes which can't be rolled back.
You inferred too much
I have a lot of respect for xz's original author, I just didn't think about the legal stuff, and that sounds quite reasonable to me now.

Personally, I find it hard to subscribe to certain theories, such as the possibility of Lasse being impersonated or involved in the incident. But that doesn't mean we should dismiss them outright at this stage. (And I'm sorry if you don't like to hear that, saying this is not comfortable for me either).
Took me some time to figure out how to run it, but the layout recogniser model hosted on huggingface is pretty good!

It correctly identifies tables that even paid models like the AWS Textract Document Analysis API fails to – for instance tables with one column which often confuse AWS even if they have a clear header and are labelled "Table" in the text.

I would however love to know broadly what kind of document it was trained on, as my results could be pure luck, hard to say without a proper benchmark

Very nice layout recognition, although I can't quite comment on the RAG performance itself – I think some of the architecture decisions are odd, it mixes a bunch of different PDF parsers for example which will all result in different quality and it's not clear to me which one it defaults to as it seems to be different in different places in the code (the simple parser defaults to pypdf2 which is not a great option)

Looking for something a little different here: I'd like to help an early stage startup hire remote overseas talent and build a stellar dev team.

I'm an experienced engineering leader/early stage CTO who has led software teams of up to 10. I've built a number of products from the ground up. I've hired at least 35-40 engineers in my career thus far, and a number of them from outside the US in the past few years.

Here's how I see myself helping:

- help non technical founders source, vet, and interview developers

- help non technical founders as initial/interim CTO helping the hired team hit their stride and get productive shipping (by setting the right processes and culture)

- act as deputy VP of eng helping the VP of eng with interviews, resume screening, and anything else that helps them with hiring

Resume: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/5flvdmfrxaq8ytipzqthc/Profile...

I previously led a team of 10 at a notable company to re-build its platform entirely. More recently, I've been leading a small team at a Series B startup in a fractional eng lead capacity. I have worked with engineers from diverse cultures and countries (I'm an immigrant myself) and know how to relate to and vet them.

React out if this interests you. I'm open to other interesting freelance consulting opportunities as well.

Email in my bio.
Right. Because Gmail was the first free service on the free Internet.
I think Detroit is heavily focused on a chasing 'whales'. Impulsive people with poor financial instincts that buy trucks and SUV's for social status reasons not because they need wheels to get to work and do shopping. It feels like what one author described as companies micro-optimizing the business till they find themselves going over a cliff. More usually everything seems fine until some change pulls the rug out. Which electrification might well be for them.
A record number of honey bees, maybe? But how are all the other equally (or more) important species of wild bees doing?
For all who are interested in this period in history, I highly recommend the book “1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed” by Eric H. Cline

Is this part of the reason cancer is more prevalent later in life? The longer you live, the more likely something is going to sneak past, along with decreased effectiveness of the immune system as we age?
That is a choice that entertains both notions. The problem with that is that entertaining the notion that you are a powerless observer of the universe who must abide surfing the waves of fate with no agency is soul crushing for most people. If that choice isn't bringing you some power in some other way, why make it?
It can be done with push in cages to trap the queen inside the hive. Because there's still a queen they won't start new cells. Because she's limited to a very small area the brood break is almost complete. I think a two week break is enough. The national honey show had a great video explaining this method. Apparently commercial beekeepers are going that route now that varroa treatments are becoming less effective.

Sure, and I see the wisdom in it: everyone gains 50 IQ points when they place a bet, so private ownership of the economy means that every section of the economy is owned by a responsible skin-in-the-game party incentivized to maximize value. A few simple rules create distributed intelligence. Cool!

But I also see the dark side. The economic notion of "value" being maximized is actually "wealth weighted value," a tiny but enormously consequential difference. Creating value isn't about doing what people want, it's about doing what rich people want, and rich people mostly want to get paid for being rich. Competition is supposed to keep this in check, but we police competition with the vigor and enthusiasm of a decaffeinated sloth, because that's what the people who own the economy want. When suits brag openly about anticompetitive strategy -- network effects, platform effects, last-mile and two-sided-market dynamics -- and regulators snooze more loudly every day, it's pretty clear that the system is captured.

Not that tech is unique, in fact we are pretty good all things considered. We still provide more value for less money every year. Many sectors have been doing the opposite for decades. Real estate is probably the stinkiest sector, where the incumbents are perpetually voting for dysfunction to pump the value of their own properties. Health care has similarly been squeezing its own training pipeline for the explicit, stated-out-loud purpose of pumping salaries, and now that boomers are aging this is going to get spectacularly ripe. None of this is wise stewardship, but it follows directly from incentives and power. Anyone who wants to claim that capitalism produces systematically good incentives had better have a really good answer for this cartel shit, because it rules the economy.

It's not just the economy, though. Capital interests are in the driver's seat in government as well. The extent to which tax policy has been pushed away from the capital gains loop and towards the wage-labor loop is almost comical. We brought women into the workforce without "meeting in the middle" on aggregate hours so now the average couple isn't allowed to raise a baby which shockingly produced a fertility crisis. Our trade policy has been re-geared so heavily to pump assets and dump exports that Alexander Hamilton is spinning in his grave next to the 30 year old opioid addict who is in his own grave because said policy changes sent his job overseas so that rich people could benefit from the higher stock returns.

In terms of the capital/labor pendulum, we've actually been here before, after the industrial revolution failed to net trickle down. I don't think we need glorious *ist revolution, but I do think we need another Roosevelt.
Yes, but I'm actually starting to think that consciousness isn't the real reason for this.

Like I may still believe that hurting a robot is immoral even though its not "conscious".

I think what I am trying to explain is I don't believe that the level of conciousness of an entity should be the moral guide for how that entity has a right to be treated.

Mostly because of the logical conclusion that it implies: it
is alright to treat a lower consciousness entity more poorly than a higher consciousness being.

Show HN: Beam – Find Better Answers with Multi-Model AI Reasoning
HN, first things first: one year ago you make me believe in my opensource AI project, and I'm forever grateful[1].

I am back with Beam - a technique to use diverse LLMs to generate responses, and Merge them - all within a snappy UX. I am no researcher, so you'll find a dark-mode blog, and not a light-mode PDF on arxiv :)
Blog, open code, and live hosted demo, all published.

You can use Beam early on in a chat, where looking at more options is key to be more confident in the answer, but also when no answer if perfect, but fusing many together will work well.
Take a look and let me know what you think!

Agreed, this can be a pain. Python by default serialize and de-serialize the `NaN` literal, making you pay some cleanup cost once you need to interopt with other systems. (same for `Inf`)

Say what you want about NaN, but IEEE 754 is the facto way of dealing with floating points in computers and even if NaNs and Infs are a bit "fringe" it's unfortunate that the most popular serialization format can not represent these.
I don't disagree with that. Actions can have many intentions. But that doesn't mean they don't oppose the genocide and are using it unscrupulously to attack ships (which the parent was implying). The majority of muslims In Yemen, regardless of sect, support Gaza and oppose the genocide. This is a good way to take a moral stand, gain public support and further legitimize their government, and be a thorn in the side of the US.
But rain is more obviously related^ to a point to point link than aging hardware or some kind of bad update?

Here I thought it would be because it would be interfering with noise from other networks.
It's a middle ground similar to the handling of pornography (often legal) and prostitution (often illegal) and it doesn't make much sense. Usually production, trafficking, and sale are also considered illegal, because to only make illegal the latter would make it more much difficult to prosecute those involved in sales and distribution. Some users need more than others, and some users produce their own supplies. Neither should be illegal, but both often are.

Either it's okay for adults to consent to activities that don't harm others or its not. People should have the right to choose what to do with their bodies, and the legal system should have to ability to disincentivize antisocial behavior in ways that are productive i.e. that actually reduce it.

The antisocial behavior is not people selling/smoking a joint or having/selling consensual sex -- and while it might be associated with them, the government should be tackling those other, actual problems instead.
You get nothing. No cookies no previous local storage. The whole point of Incognito is just that.

Personal configuration: for example a website can query whether a user prefers dark mode or light mode. Incognito browsing doesn't attempt to hide that. Or consider that you have a fairly unique browser window size accessible using window.{inner,outer}{Width,Height}. Incognito also doesn't hide it from websites.

None of this is inherently newsworthy. It's only newsworthy because people misunderstood Incognito and filed a lawsuit. I'd say that people seemed to have mixed up the privacy offered by the Tor browser and the privacy offered by Incognito at some point.

That is something we can certainly disagree on. I would hope given your fist-hand experience of the universe you would at least posit that you yourself are conscious :)

It is funny that the title of the article is a "new 21st century religion." The Hindu conception of Brahman (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahman) is basically this. We are in Brahman, and Brahman is in us.
I guess I didn't quite explain properly.

I think that the question of conscience is actually not really relevant in the context of the problems it gets brought up in.

Like morality or artificial intelligence. In these contexts whether something is conscious or not doesn't really have a practical application nor should it be the moral guide for the way we react to things.

I would still believe in not "hurting" "unconcious" things even though the logic would assert that it was okay to do this. And I believe others would struggle with the same.
I looked at it briefly - it looks interesting, but I'm a bit worried about the same things that are affecting us with our current infra provider. Namely, PaaS overhead cost, lack of customized options for instance configurations, and long term reliability (SLAs, uptimes, managing outages, and etc).
