Ah, damn, I missed this post on the front page! I didn't expect it here, let me reply.
Oh absolutely, I think having a prior makes these problems tractable. Otherwise we would just force feed data to fully connected networks!
Anecdotally, I believe a lot of college administrators have realized that Google Docs / etc with tracked changes is difficult for students to fake, relatively easy to "sniff test" for plausibility, and helps protect students against false positives from AI/plagiarism detectors [ugh]. Maybe the gig is up.

Also anecdotally: despite the embarrassing scam of "AI detectors," many kids did not actually get away with cheating via ChatGPT last year. Issues like fictional citations, "as a large language model I cannot," and making up facts affect high school English papers just like legal filings or scientific articles about rats. And unlike scientific peer review, high school teachers usually read things closely and notice when something isn't right. You don't need an AI detector to be suspicious when an impeccably well-written essay discusses events in Great Expectations that didn't happen.
Huge fan of Bun.

Came for the ts interoperability, stayed for the performance.

Also seems like the most sensible project in the space - I tried Deno and it was... rough. Bun on the otherhand was easy to intergrate and a very pleasant experience.
Hmm, maybe I should have made sure I wasn't the only potential customer before I made this.
IFUNC is arguably not the real issue. IFUNC was used to create a function that will be called on library load (since you need a resolver function to decide which function to map in). There are other ways to create "callback on library load" as well. I think ifunc was actually used for obfuscation instead. Jia Tan created a somewhat plausible scenario of using ifunc's to select which CRC function at load time to use for performance reasons (whether that actually increases performance is arguable but at least plausible). The malicious version swapped the resolver function to be a malicious one but either way it's just a way to create a function that can be called on library init.

The actual hook for intercepting the call was done via audit hooks.

So I guess it's really two things working together.
Yet another image host. That'll work out. Heh.

A great way to celebrate his passing, thanks for sharing.

Having built a number of crowdfunding solutions, anticipating the answers of others isn’t just something that can pollute answers. It can also prevent people from giving theirs.

The combined affect is crowdsourcing becomes social forecasting, something we are all reasonably good at and predictably delivers results that are de-coupled from the question being asked.
Boy, I was not expecting the set of comments I'm looking at here.

Folks -- this is _clearly_ sarcasm! This guy could not care less how many people use his service (or at least, he's maintaining a good spirit about how hard it can be).

For what it's worth, I thought it was very funny :)
No, the USA is specifically only charging him with publication of unredacted documents. They are not charging him with obtaining the secrets (that was Manning) but just with publishing them without redacting the names of US informants. At least, that's what they're claiming at the extradition; what they subsequently choose to actually charge him with once he's on US soil is a different thing.
I sponsored the 1st OpenAI API credits usage competition with $1000 in this twitter ( https://x.com/ysu_ChatData/status/1774126917714903126?s=20 ) Lots of people love it. However, $1,000 OpenAI credits get used up in just one day and the people who needs the OpenAI credits cannot use the API key I gave for long enough time. Lots of people still love to use the free API key I provide to build something. Therefore, I plan to sponsor another $1000 for another 2-week OpenAI API credits usage competition with better rules.

Competition Rules:

1⃣ Share your project plans, model details, and estimated token usage like the example in the discord channel.

2⃣ Keep your API key to yourself. No sharing!

3⃣ Report back on your project outcomes.

Max $30 consumption per project.

Competition ends on April 30th or when the allocation of $1000 OpenAI credits are consumed.

Share your progress and support each other!

@ysu_ChatData
will update daily on API key consumption.

Repost this and join our Discord channel.

Everyone can view progress, but API keys are only given to those who repost, share their projects. Let
@ysu_ChatData
know by DM if I missed you!

"Ready to innovate? Join https://discord.gg/MGTWxeX2?event=1224476762952568904 now to secure your spot! Once the estimated credit usage surpasses $1500 ($500 as buffer), we'll NOT include more participants. This ensures everyone has ample OpenAI credits for the competition. Limited spots available! Here is the server https://discord.gg/JaAa8mqW
I used to be in an adjacent field and we used to joke about when the HFT guys were gonna get working on some neutrino detectors & sources to signal straight through the Earth. You could use them for science on the weekends!
Not sure if you were making a joke, but 0^0 is often defined as 1.

I don't understand the chain of logic here at all?

Am I correct in thinking you are criticizing OpenAI for taking down their non-working GPT Detector?

Of all the things OpenAI deserve criticism for this seems to be an odd one. It just didn't work: as you say it couldn't properly detect GPT authored text and it incorrectly flagged human text as written by GPT.

That just seems bad all around?
USDA Confirms Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza in Dairy Herd in New Mexico
Does anyone know if this has been reported to the FBI and Homeland Security? Or can one just assume they will become aware?
Paper (2022) from this post of a post: [Thermalization by a synthetic horizon](https://journals.aps.org/prresearch/abstract/10.1103/PhysRev...) (submitted last year, but no comments)
The authors are not native English speakers (and what you’re seeing in the name is not something most non native English speakers would spot).

I understand it’s funny to point and laugh “ha ha dumb dudes didn’t think about something female related because they’re dudes”, but it’s worth remembering that not everyone is from the anglosphere.

Also you might find this normal but I cannot imagine my female colleagues being amused at me calling one of them up asking to “consult” about a name solely because she’s a woman.
Is there some weird loophole or something I'm missing here? Otherwise, I'm not exactly sure how hacking wouldn't be illegal.
This was a lot of fun to play, thanks for sharing!
Yes, exactly. ViTs need O(100M)-O(1B) images to overcome the lack of spatial priors. In that regime and beyond, they begin to generalize better than ConvNets.

Unfortunately, ImageNet is not a useful benchmark for a while now since pre-training is so important for production visual foundation models.
See are blogs in general as well as HN.
Because it's a compile-time error in Rust and of course not doesn't exist as a concept in a garbage-collected language.
That doesn't mean that the entire population of those countries is actively hostile to you.
If you’re not talking about where is best place to immigrate then I agree with you. But people often confuse the “Danes are happiest people on earth” study as “immigrating there will make me happy”.

Of course when people talk about where is best place to live, most people think it in terms of immigrating.
>> C++ supports a hundred times as many compilation targets and platforms.

I would not want to be the one writing that CMakeLists.txt
Bun's standalone executables are great, but as far as I'm aware unlike Deno and Node there's no cross compilation support, and Node supports more CPU/OS combinations than either Deno or Bun. Node supports less common platforms like Windows ARM for example (which will become more important once the new Snapdragon X Elite laptops start rearing their heads [1]).

I realize this is an April Fools Post …

But with that being said, media hosting sites (image, video, even email hosting) become deceptively low margin very fast.

With no ability to purge a users catalog of media, over time - a user become LESS profitable for you (because the more you’re having to store for them, the higher that user costs you).

If new account growth slows, it can create a situation where you are unprofitable.

Just FYI in case anyone is looking to get into this business.
One of things that makes me more bullish on bun rather than Deno is that bun is intentionally aiming for compatibility with node and the npm ecosystem while Deno doesn't seem to be.

Yeah, I thought about the contradiction there, but I somehow don't care that people don't sign up and also want to know why they aren't signing up.
Me! Discord does not consider me a real person if I don't have a phone number it approves of.
Human text being flagged as wholly or partially synthetic is the default now. You move the knob on the AUPRC curve until it’s catching spam, and you report spam when you’re pretty sure. You report: “don’t know” the rest of the time.
There are legitimate criticisms and things to change, but it mostly applies to other states too. "Gripped by economic problems" is not one of them, and the state isn't in decline either. As I said elsewhere though, SF is one exception that I'd say is truly terrible because they shot themselves in the foot with a weird combination of far-left policies and corporate lobbying.

What I do is consistently vote for harsher criminal justice and political candidates who at least acknowledge that illegal immigration is a problem here. This usually means moderate Republicans.
Phenomenon is hardly unique to A16Z

SEEKING FREELANCER | SF Bay Area | Remote OK

I am looking for a talented individual who is capable of generating programmatic text animations for a word game where the goal is to 'transform' one word into another using a limited set of 'lexical transformation operations'. These animations would need to be algorithmic in nature (since the list of word pairs is enormous, we can't just pre-render animations between pairs).

Not all of them are marketing. Some of them expose his belief system. After “The Techno-Optimist Manifesto” it’s very hard for me to take him seriously again.
.net actually does support a lot of what you are talking about, although the features are rarely used/enforced in reality.

I used to use an RSS reader that had "smart folders" (filters) so I could group cross feeds and across servers but the author seems to be too busy to keep it going.

Yeah, and the quality of the 'marketing writing' is good and informative. Because A16z can afford high quality writing...

These 'emerging stack' articles do promote their own companies, but are nevertheless useful for newcomers into a field, to quickly grasp the process and the players. If you don't like it, compile your own version.

I've used some companies recommended in their data architecture and it worked very well.
I don't think it's crazy for a maintainer to Google the person a bit, and if there is no positive match, ask the other person for at least a little bit of detail about themselves, like where they live (country/city), who they work for, etc. Maybe hop on a phone call or something.

In this case, Jia Tan just doesn't seem to match any real person we can find online. It's not like there's an elaborate online persona that they have really built.

While I don't want to put Lasse Collin on trial since he's a victim too, I do think he owes the community an update and explanation of what went down. It's not because we want to point fingers at him, but to learn from the experience.
I think cycles of forgetting run faster these days. A whole bunch of cows in Texas have H5N1 flu now, and they're not stopping them from selling the cows, so they're now infecting herds in other states. Just yesterday a dairy worker in Texas came down with H5N1.
Double precision floats can't represent every 64-bit integer. If you want to math it, what kind of number will you accept?
The best selling specific vehicles in the USA are first pickups (F150, RAM,Silverado), then SUVs (RAV4, Model Y, CR-V).

Ford is doing the right thing with the F150 lightning but they really missed with the Mustang Mach-E. All they had to do was make an electric Escape or Edge with decent range and it would compete with the Model Y.

My family is in the market for an AWD electric SUV with reasonable cargo space and actual buttons for major controls. These don’t really exist and if a manufacturer cared enough to push this they’d make a killing. The Mach-E, Ariya, Model Y, EV6, Ioniq5 don’t have much cargo space. The Honda Prologue/Chevy Blazer EV are closer to the RAV4 CR-V so we’ll see. The VW ID4 is also bigger but the touchscreen has gotten terrible reviews.

Model Ys are catching up to the RAV4 because they were the only option with decent range and charging infra while looking decent and being a reasonable size. Good for Tesla but Detroit still hasn’t learned the right lessons.

Can’t wait for more competition in this space where regular vehicles are available in electric versions. The old guard could easily build a nicer interior than a Tesla and lean into tactile controls and their dealer network. Instead they co-opt the tablet and focus on the wrong things like autopilot, sportbacks, and “futuristic” designs.
I think the problem is that you mention cocaine on your pricing page and then refuse to offer your customers any.
This is every bit as much a people problem as a technology problem. When I read the headline, I didn't even understand what there possibly was to breach at OWASP.

> OWASP collected resumes as part of the early membership process, whereby members were required in the 2006 to 2014 era to show a connection to the OWASP community. OWASP no longer collects resumes as part of the membership process.

Why did OWASP retain this information ten years after they stopped the practice?
Out of date dependencies also introduces vulnerabilities though. So you’re screwed no matter what.

The number of people who are taking this seriously is startling.

Just because you lay something out simply doesnt mean youve simplified something.

Here's a simple statement:

"Do the most important work, and ignore everything else"

Do you see the problems with that statement? If not I cannot help you. If so then you probably agree with me already.

This is not an article boiling something complicated down to it's essential bits. This is just any old "focus" advice devoid of any real world details, that falls apart as soon as you try it.
We could drastically simplify the building and deployment process of our services. By far the greatest advantage is that it runs TS natively. Dropping the compilation stage simplifies everything. From docker imaging to writing DB migrations to getting proper stack traces.

You don't need source maps. You don't have to map printed stack traces to the source. Debugging just works. You don't need to configure directories because src/ is different than dist/ for DB migrations. You don't have to build a `tsc --watch & node --watch` pipeline to get hot reloading. You don't need cross-env. No more issues with cjs/esm interop. Maybe you don't even need a multi-stage Dockerfile.

That's for bun. Deno might have a similar story. We did not opt-in to the Bun-specific APIs, so we can migrate back if Bun fails. Maybe we could even migrate to something like ts-node. Shouldn't be that hard in that case.

IMHO the API of Bun, as well as the package manager, sometimes tries to be _too_ convenient or is too permissive.
I suppose you're right -- the MIT model makes it a non-issue

»The reference book Who Knows What listed Hartman as one of the two living authorities on value theory (the other was Charles W. Morris (1903-1979). Among Hartman's publications are the report on Value Theory for the Institut International de Philosophis 1949-1955, published by UNESCO; his magnum opus The Structure of Value (1967 Southern Illinois University Press); and at the time of his death in 1973 he was working on a manuscript entitled The Measurement of Value.«

That's not what the above commenter said. This may be your interpretation but the above commenter is essentially saying "don't work with Chinese-sounding developers" and is the completely wrong take here. Jia Tan may or may not be Chinese but the core issue is the lack of basic vetting to make sure he/she/they are a real person.
> Trump's tariffs hurt the US more than they did China, and his belligerence and instability made China look stable and reasonable in comparison. Why wouldn't they want more of that?

Evidence, and not an opinion piece that only looks at US data but also includes effects on Chinese economy.

You certainly cannot make this claim from the data I've seen available to the public. So I think you're lying. Why lie?
