Indeed. Microsoft is extremely aggressive in such situations. I used to contract for this big corp here in Belgium that was on track to replace office and windows with Linux and LibreOffice. A few months later, they got a new VP of something, previously working for MS… fast forward to the next all hands meeting announcing the return to Teams and O365.

Which one is the third one? All three operate advertising networks with significant revenue and run massive data collection services (e.g. find device networks, ad networks, personal health data collection, etc.)
The OEIS is a curated selection of integer sequences. It only includes those sequences deemed interesting (usually mathematically, but also recreationally, and occasionally for some other reason). It's easy to generate a new sequence from an old one, say B(n) = A(n) + 11 for some sequence A. But if you submit that it will be rejected because it isn't interesting. (Trying to come up with an OEIS-worthy sequence is difficult and edifying, and a great rainy-day activity.)

But even if the OEIS had no standards and included every imaginable sequence, it still wouldn't include more than a vanishingly small fraction of the total set of all integer sequences. This is because almost all integer sequences are infinitely long and cannot be specified. There just aren't enough words!

I was answering the question of why there is (genuine) irony that a person can find in the name. A lot of people have trouble detecting irony.

Showing that something can easily be interpreted in a non-ironic way does not, in any way, disprove that a thing can also be interpreted in an ironic way.

> “I also think whoever was responsible for it should be fired,” she added.

> “We were made aware that a single user of the AI platform was purportedly provided an image that did not adhere to the built-in parameters set by the developers. Prior to launch, we agreed to a comprehensive set of rules to govern image creation, including that people in images be fully clothed. We have not seen the image that the AI provided to this user, but out of an abundance of caution we took the website down,” the spokesperson confirmed to the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH.

Here's a tangential take to all this, but its the overwhelming thing I feel reading this: Something happened to our society which resulted in effectively no one being able to be held accountable for anything. Its always "well, we wrote this policy and we were well within the policy! the thing just went oopsie daisy no one could have predicted that!"

They were creating and distributing porn of non-consenting individuals. Everyone involved with this should be fired, and maybe actually it should go further than that.

I feel this tremendously in the day-to-day of the tech world. I will make some system change which brings down production. I hop on a postmortem with my boss, and the first thing she says: "We have a blameless engineering culture. Its not your fault, and I don't hold you responsible." I disagree, entirely: it is my fault. I need to own it, and I don't understand how people function tip-toeing around accepting responsibility for something that is obviously their fault. How do you, the individual, improve?
I've been using Otter AI for almost a year now. They've added quite a few features with querying your transcription and the likes, and it just works.

Specifically on language, it sometimes goes haywire when there is Hinglish (Hindi + English) involved, so not sure if they support de natively. Cost-effective though.
Is this paper published by anyone else not the authors?
Why is a pure math paper on SSRN?
I compared the sizes of several processors[1] including these RISC-V: Glacial, SERV, PicoRV32, VexRiscv and Darkriscv. Compiled to NAND gates the results were 2063, 3595, 34463, 49214 and 50424 gates respectively. Multiply these numbers by 4 to know how many transistors a CMOS implementation would need.

I also implemented them in a bunch of different FPGAs, though that is less relevant here.

Glacial is an 8 bit processor optimized to emulate a 32 bit RISC-V and SERV is a serial implementation of a 32 bit RISC-V. They save transistors at the cost of many clocks per instruction.

There are several projects that implement RISC-V using TTLs but I have not heard of one using individual transistors.

Yeah, it works, and doesn't need any technical instructions. Just go make a song on suno.ai.

I had done a folk song version of my resume. It wasn't going to become a hit or anything, so I don't see this replacing any real musicians, but it absolutely worked to create a passable performance as a song.

Show HN: Cron Alternatives for your next project
Hi HN,

As the creators of a popular cron job monitoring tool, we talk to a lot of cron jobs and, whenever possible, the humans that created them. If there’s one thing we’ve learned it’s that job scheduling is complex, with a lot of constraints and hairy edge cases.

Each job scheduler navigates these problems in its own unique way, and today developers have more choices than ever for running scheduled job workloads in production. We’ve created a list of 56 different job schedulers that you can compare across different attributes to help you find the best job scheduler for your next project. If we’re missing your favorite, please let us know in the comments!

Cheers,
Shane and August

I get that dynamic and maybe it’s not great to look at one of the all-time most succesful indie productions as an example. Rodriquez really did a lot by himself in that one also. Maybe to clarify a bit what I take issue with is the culture of celebrating no-budget success stories. It’s not less work to make those films so in the end you do spend the work hours, you just leave them out of accounting as nobody got paid. It’s really sort of a accounting trick leaving out sweat-equity. In what other field would we celebrate creating commercial products that take years of collective effort for cheap by not paying anyone.

Maybe it shows that I work in the field and get asked to do these all the time. Sometimes I do them, but it’s just sponsoring promising talent.

>> To study how the parallel structure of transformers might limit their capabilities, the pair considered the case where transformers didn’t feed their output back into their input — instead, their first output would have to be the final answer. They proved that the transformers in this theoretical framework couldn’t solve any computational problems that lie outside a specific complexity class. And many math problems, including relatively simple ones like solving linear equations, are thought to lie outside this class.

This seems like somewhat of an artificial constraint? E.g. we can explicitly ask GPT4 to solve problems using code which I wouldn't think has the same limits. The model might not be able to solve a problem directly but can in code.

>ETA: there’s also good (IMO irrefutable) evidence that AI researchers have deluded themselves about the scalability of LLMs because of motivated statistical reasoning: https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.15004

Curious to hear how this relates to scaling. I think a lot of the emergence dialog is just semantics. I.e. if GPT3 can only score a 50% on a 3 digit arithmetic test but GPT4 scores 80% this 'ability' might not literally be emergent but functionally it is, at a larger scale it 'gained' the ability to do 3 digit arithmetic. It's not clear how this indicates issues with Scalability though. For example in the paper the authors state: "However, if one changes from nonlinear Accuracy to linear Token Edit
Distance while keeping the models’ outputs fixed, the family’s performance smoothly, continuously and predictably improves with increasing scale"

I went to go look at Akamai's site, and I don't think either party is interested in that transaction.

Akamai doesn't look like the kind of company that wants to deal with 3,000,000 tiny accounts, and I don't think the customers will be happy with the service they get.

I guess to put it another way, do you use Cloudflare currently? If they made the free tier $5-$10/month for as many sites as you want, would you pay them or put in the effort to migrate?

I think I've got 2 sites I actually care about enough to want a CDN and DDoS protection. I would probably just pay up. I'm sure I could go somewhere else for free, but my Cloudflare setup works and I don't want to have to redo my Let's Encrypt wildcard.

Why has nobody innovated on the hated pop-in feedback forms?
I'm the guy who instantly closes feedback forms on websites. Those annoying pop-ups interrupt my browsing and feel like an annoying businessman, killing my mojo—I hate them so much

While helping a buddy integrate a feedback solution on his website, it hit me: I despise these forms. They're intrusive, interrupt your flow, and always pop up at the worst moment, leading me to wonder, am I the only one who feels this way?

I did a bit of digging and found a statistic: 80% of pop-in feedback forms fail to engage users, highlighting a significant lack of innovation in this area.

What if we flipped the script? Instead of one-way feedback, what if we made it a two-way exchange using AI to give something back in return? We could use what we already know from the fact that the user is on your site.

For instance, if you're on a fishing gear site, it’s safe to assume you’re into fishing.

Imagine getting a fun fact about the world's rarest fish or the history of fishing lures in exchange for answering a quick question. That's not just asking; it's giving back and creating a moment of delight.

As a developer, this sparked an idea: a tool that trades fun facts for your thoughts. The goal is to boost engagement by making this exchange of fun facts for feedback.

So, I created a little demo and a waitlist to see if it’s a good idea. For anyone managing sites, e-commerce, or online platforms, check out the site, and if you think it would add value, join the waitlist at http://funfactfeedback.com

What do you think? Am I onto something, or is this idea not worth pursuing? I'd love to hear your thoughts and critiques.

> Before Nextdoor existed, you might see a stranger in your neighborhood and assume he’s someone’s guest or a local workman come to fix something. If you were worried, you would call a neighbor to find out who he is. With Nextdoor, your natural reflex is to take his picture and post it to the platform — and perhaps alert the police in the process that someone suspicious has been seen in your area.

> suspicious

"I don't know this person, ergo they must be suspicious." WTF, no, stop it. People have a right to be on public property and easements like sidewalks. They don't have a right to loiter, but they have a right to pass through the area. Yes, criminals do it, but so do teenagers having fun, and so do people with more legitimate reasons to be somewhere, and we can't be interrogating all of them all the time, and we (society) don't have the right to be detaining and interrogating people who have not yet committed a crime or conspired to commit a crime, or even people who have -unknown to us- committed a crime for which we have zero evidence, not even probable cause.

This sort of paranoia can lead to completely unnecessary encounters with police that can escalate when the person refuses to go along with unreasonable police demands for ID or whatever, then end up being a police abuse victim.

Please stop this behavior.
Not that I’m aware of. Those kinds of decisions are different depending on where you are, too; some places need to worry about conserving fresh water much more than others, for example. I don’t think there’s a meaningful way to reduce everything to a single dimension.

> Georgia, the Baltic states, and Ukraine have all been drafted into an American campaign to surround Russia

None of this is true. The US government has for decades preferred to accomodate Russia at the expense of the security of their neighbors and chose to ignore imperialistic ambitions of Russia until the position became untenable. Even now, when Russia has launched the largest war in Europe since Hitler invaded Poland, the US is withholding military aid out of misguided hope that Putin will take the exit ramp that the Americans are offering. But Russia does not have a Khrushchev, instead they have a Hitler-like debiloid who keeps doubling down on a mistake of historic proportions.

If Russia became a normal functional European country instead of being an expansionist dictatorship, my country wouldn't even need a military because Russia is the sole reason why that exists at all. The fact that everyone bordering Russia are arming up is the result of Russian abusive behavior towards its neighbors in the past and in the present. If you go around looting homes, then don't get offended when people start setting up fences and security cameras - or as you'd call it, a vast anglo-american conspiracy to encircle honest thieves.

> Remember the Cuban missile crisis? How the US panicked over Russian presence in Cuba? There's an analogy here.

There is no analogy here. Europe had been rapidly and unilaterally demilitarizing until 2014, whereas Russia moved nuclear weapons nearer and nearer to Europe, recently installing them into the unstable dictatorship in Belarus. Russia just announced that they will be forming two new armies, larger than the ground forces of UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Poland and many other European countries COMBINED. Instead of responding to a threat (as their propaganda tries to depict), Russia is exploiting the historic weakness of European countries that have tried to build mutually beneficial relations with Russia over the past few decades instead of maintaining Cold War confrontation.

A much better analogy are the naive attempts to seek peace with Hitler in 1938 and 1939, believing that surely Hitler will stop at Poland, and the incredible discussions at the time whether it's ethical to bomb military infrastructure in Germany in response to the invasion of Poland or if the risk of damage to private property is be too large. Kicking the can down the road meant that four years later, allied air forces were carpet bombing German cities day and night without any disregard for such trivialities. Is that what you want, B-52s over Moscow?
I don't know how you keep coming up with #s from the article that somehow indicate Israel's trying very hard to protect civilians. It's self-soothing but no one, absolutely no one, thinks the article is saying that.

n.b. not in their charter, not their stated goal. I'm a Zionist too, used to say stuff like this, I just had a wake up call in January about how I was unable to talk to other people anymore because I had walked too far down a path that was obviously us vs. them and the Likud-Gvir unholy alliance was doing truly evil things that made us vs. them look really, really, bad.
Aren't they equivalent in terms of morality? If they aren't, then you've basically answered the Trolley Problem by implying that the outcome with more deaths is morally worse.

Magnitude is a question of pragmatism. I don't think pragmatism is very popular among people when looking at things like the war on drugs (despite so many people being against it, nothing has changed).
New Catan game with environmental mechanics
You're right. Hamas and Israel are very similar, and basically at the same level of criminal behavior. But I don't think that was the point you wanted to make. I guess for you it's more humane to just bomb people but it turns out that the people who die in Gaza are just as human as those who died in October 7. It's hard to believe for Israelis since they have been killing thousands of Palestinians for decades now, but their lives aren't inherently worth less than those of Israelis.

It's surprising how it can summarise my relationship with another person, for example - if I ask "who is X?" it will deliver quite a succinct summary of the relationship - using my own words at times.

Mostly it's useful for self-reflection, it's helped me to see challenges I was facing from a more generalised perspective - particularly in my relationships with others. I'm also terribly impressed by the technology - being able to natural-language query and receive a sensible, and often insightful response - it feels like the future to me.

I mean, we're basically heading towards a basic minimum income at that point, where you truncate the top 5% of the tax ladder and redistribute it to the bottom 25%. At that point, people could pay for services.

Dig a little into the idea that people can "pay" with their attention (and with their poor health, crappy buying decisions, personal freedoms) might fit the dictionary definition of sinister.
