This is basically junk science. If you dig into the research on "epigenetic clock measures of biological aging" you'll find very little evidence that things which change those measures actually impact human lifespans. The reality is that there are still no reliable biomarkers for aging.

Two new funding opportunities for sustainable jobs in the low-carbon economy
You can get Mustang mach-e, basic for 46K (check ford.nl...), you are looking at the GT version there which is much much nicer compares to the 30k BYD.

You can gey hyundai kona starting from 37k with 65kwh battery as opposed to byd 44kwh for 30k. So more value for money.

Apples to Apples is Dacia Spring Extreme 44kwh for 23.5K with tax for same battery and features... much lower price then BYD

The prompt was “A jazz instrumental that combines the sensibility of ‘A Love Supreme’ with the feeling of the Caltrain transportation system.”
The author had it right in the first paragraph. In the 90s version of this hysteria, Congress passed a law that would have prevented access to education medical information, dirty curse words, and other filth from being published on the internet to protect the children. The federal government fought a case all the way to the Supreme Court to enforce it. If they had won that case, the internet would look very different today. But the Supreme Court got it right when they said it would squelch free speech.

You may not like FB, IG, TikTok, etc.. I certainly don't care for any of these products. But these are communications platforms. Restricting the right to free speech does have negative consequences... from the development of critical thinking skills; development of technical skills; and limiting of educational information. Being exposed to shit on the internet teaches you there's bullshit on the internet, and not to believe everything you see.

And just like the Supreme Court wrote 30 years ago, the answer is the same today: if you don't like these products and feel they are negative, then don't use them. Restrict your children's access to these platforms.

I certainly dont believe anyone should be forced to use these platforms. I don't use any of these products, and havent since they launched. That's a freedom you and everyone else can take advantage of also. But those who advocate censorship aren't advocating for freedom... they're advocating for their personal parental decisions to the be decisions of the entire nation.
> For what it's worth, this argument could be applied to anything extremely dangerous that just so happened to have some safety protocols written for it. It's an argument in a vacuum.

Some products are extremely dangerous, like construction explosives, or cars. And yet many people operate them safely for years without incident. Other people get themselves killed. That doesn't mean it's the manufacturer's fault if one of their customers decides to go to a bar and then get behind the wheel.

Conversely, some products are dangerous when used as directed, for example certain poisonous plants that herbal sociopaths will advise you to eat, which provides an obvious distinction with sharp objects whose manufacturers explicitly advise you not to stick your fingers in.

> Having safety protocols doesn't matter if it's something deployed in situations where people are under a lot of stress or tired from working a lot and are still required to work.

It isn't the manufacturer that caused you to be stressed or tired or created any obligation for you to work under those conditions.

> Ensuring safety requires us going beyond 'you should have followed the rules', you have to consider the whole context and all the facts.

There is no "ensuring" safety. You can very easily mangle or kill yourself with a kitchen knife if you use it wrong, but whose fault is that?

> if you don't like these products and feel they are negative, then don't use them.

Relevant bit from the essay:

"But much of my book is about the collective action traps that entire communities of adolescents fall into when they move their social lives onto these platforms, such that it becomes costly to abstain. It is at that point that collective mental health declines most sharply, and the individuals who try to quit find that they are socially isolated. The skeptics do not consider the ways that these network or group-level effects may obscure individual-level effects, and may be much larger than the individual-level effects."
It's interesting that, historically, privacy didn't need protecting because it was trivially available and people won't have thought much about the possibility that in the future it would not longer be technically available.

Privacy didn't need protecting in history before bugging. If a founding father wanted to talk to someone privately they just went stood apart from everybody else.

50 years ago, standing apart no longer provided privacy because of long range microphones etc, but those were targeted attacks on diplomats etc.

Nowadays, you can probably do a nice undergrad project to recreate conversations from lip reading streetview video clips.

Privacy was defacto available hundreds of years ago, but is technically impossible now. (Imagine the kinds of body checks that will be introduced before you enter a US SCIF post the chess cheating scandal!)
When I worked at BEA (which I think published its prices), the steep discounts on a crazy high price actually had a clever reason — evidently the sales team could discount the list price pretty freely, but they were forbidden to discount the yearly support and maintenance fees. Sorta subscription pricing before it was cool.

Social media has the following elements (which would be prohibited):

Recommendation based on previous views. Recommendation based on what is currently being viewed is permitted. Recommendation based on current view that is customized to user is not permitted.

Ratings up/down.

Sorting based on rating or based on users' interest. Chronological sorting is permitted.

Suggesting content is forbidden. Specifically subscribed content is permitted to be suggested - but only chronologically, or in response to a search.

No public comments. Private comments permitted. Comments in room/forum/group permitted. User must specifically subscribe/join to see the comments.

Comments sorting/notification rules same as above.

"Reactions" to messages show up as additional/new replies, and are not attached to the original message.

Discussion:

The idea is to reduce addictive methods, and to modify discussion/views to reflect ordinary human behavior: No one rates your sentence spoken in a group, no one goes back and promotes certain things you said, words are said in a group chronologically.
The important thing is, the style needs to be consistent over the whole codebase. If most of the SQL has uppercase keywords, a small portion that does not will be harder to read.

I dislike the PEP8 style for python, but I use it anyways, mostly.
Apparently the city was outsourcing to prefab firms outside of SF and many of the projects had safety violations that couldn’t be inspected because everything was already put together on arrival.
I wish base gpt-4 was available in the chat product, miss it.
I can’t reply to the post directly (locked?) but my take is that security measures like VPNs and proxies are moot because tech isn’t really the vulnerability- people are. You can have MFA on everything and all databases behind VPNs, but if there’s a goddamn OneNote with all the DB passwords floating around… how do you keep that contained? How do you guarantee that an employee won’t take a password and put it somewhere public? It’s not practical to monitor me censor employees to that degree.
A better approach, in this example, is to have the database set up so that when it is hacked into, no irreversible damage is done, and the data is worthless/unreadable to the hacker.

E; I can comment on the post now shrug
I've not had a day without issues. I don't know if this is something wrong with my account (instagram), but it's so unreliable that I can't trust that what I see in Texts is actually how the conversation looks like. Funnily enough, I ran Beeper in parallel as backup.

Weird things from a message missing in between other messages, new messages not showing up at all, messages I send not arriving, etc.

(The iOS app is on a completely different level with it not even refreshing my messages most of the time until I disable and enable certain accounts again. But it's in TestFlight so I'll treat it as a beta and not expect too much polish yet)

I've religiously submitted feedback constantly to them, together with console logs and error dumps, but now my trial expired and I just can't justify paying for it in the current state :/
This story is just another data point on the enshittification of SF, along with fentanyl dealing on streetcorners and feces on the sidewalks.
Wheels of justice grind slowly and all that, but I was really hoping to see more formal government investigations by this point. Especially given the Russian hackers who had previously shutdown the trains.
llamafile author here. I'm downloading Mixtral 8x22b right now. I can't say for certain it'll work until I try it, but let's keep our fingers crossed! If not, we'll be shipping a release as soon as possible that gets it working.

My recent work optimizing CPU evaluation https://justine.lol/matmul/ may have come at just the right time. Mixtral 8x7b always worked best at Q5_K_M and higher, which is 31GB. So unless you've got 4x GeForce RTX 4090's in your computer, CPU inference is going to be the best chance you've got at running 8x22b at top fidelity.
Criticizing specific behavior as being unsuitable for HN is not a personal attack.

If it was possible to hook into token selection process (kind of like JSON restricted grammar but using custom scripts), then it would be possible to detect that GPT-4 is about to add "# impement code here" and then we could force it select a different set of tokens which would make GPT4 generate a proper method body.

People dying and suffering is evidence enough.

Disingenuous analysis paralysis to impose an authoritarian worldview on others.

Nice try, but you're not fooling anyone.

Good luck to you.
The charts in this article are deceptive and cause me to not trust the author.

Look at long term teen suicide rates and you will see that suicide rates were quite high around 1990, and then rates dropped until about 2005, and are now on the rise again but have not yet reached 1990 levels (I think).

So, the author of this piece wants to make it look like suicides and self harm are on the rise because of social media, so where does he choose to start the charts? 2005.
> My theory is that to meet a new person and have it be substantial, you basically need to spend a few hours, a few times per week, in the same space doing some arbitrarily interesting thing for a common reason, without being too eager but with a signaled sense of openness.

I like this concept, and I feel like I've experienced this as well, but I'm having trouble picturing an example of what you're describing, practically speaking, for the average city-dweller. Care to elaborate on this?
We spend enormous amounts of time and energy trying to pick up the pieces of the destruction being left in the wake by social media giants as they get absurdly rich. How about we instead simply make the giants liable for what gets posted on their platforms? Let the “move fast and break things” crowd that is so certain of their own genius spend their billions on figuring it out instead of on how to get you to click on another ad.

They will figure out a solution very quickly or they will simply cease to exist, and either way the problem will be solved.
The original swype algorithm was far better than whatever ML-stuff gboard and iOS have these days.

Well.

Last time round we got our hands on 7B-70b models.

Presumably, a company with as much compute as Meta can train even larger models that weren’t released, that would greatly benefit from the massive global efforts expended for free on the smaller open source LLM family tree of models. And their architecture ends up largely adopted by the open source community, helping build advanced tools to utilize those models.
Wouldn't it be more accurate to call this "Making a RISC-V Bootloader"?

As nice as this was to read (and I read all three parts), it's basically all the functionality of grub (or similar).

For toy OSes on x86/x86_64 the best way to get started is to use grub to do all the setup and then launch the kernel.
They also don't compare with other countries. Social media use isn't unique to America; if it's responsible for teen suicide rates, we'd expect to see similar rises across the globe, but that's not the case.
I don't. Here's why:

* Fair supply chains:

After many years of working in Quality Control and Quality Assurance, Supplier Quality Management (I've been on both ends with this one) and related fields (lead auditor, product safety, material safety) for companies large and small, I can safely say that "fair supply chains" is just a marketing fairy tale. Without going too deep into this rabbit hole:

A) You only have so many suppliers. If they don't comply, and unless their performance and/or behavior significantly affects your reputation, contrary to the common belief, you don't just go to somebody else. You give them another opportunity. If they keep failing, you change your evaluation specs, wait a year, and repeat. This becomes a thousand times more of an issue once you include China and generally other countries outside the US and Europe (there are exceptions) into the equation.
B) Good luck auditing suppliers in China.
C) Good luck finding experienced auditors. They are incredibly rare and expensive. You cannot outsource it either.
D) The auditing process is expensive. That's why even the largest companies in toy manufacturing do not audit their supply chains end-to-end. Instead, you have your direct suppliers sign documents binding them to cascade your rules downstream. What happens when you find out they don't? See A.

Should I go on?

US citizens have the right to free speech.

US companies have a qualified right to free speech https://constitution.findlaw.com/amendment1/freedom-of-speec...

How about AI? If it is an algorithm that is talking to you, does it have the right to do all the things that are protected by 'free speech'?

And does it matter if the AI is commercial, or a home hobby project effort?
Aside: The people who like prediction markets get quite annoyed at that.
We know that by testing the patches. Automated Program Repair is an area of research which has done this.

The patches are tested against a test-suite. So, if there are tests, we welcome them, we definitely use them to validate the patches.
No disagree, its the availability of good hard facts to push back which interests me. The figures for Australian feral cats (6+ million) and the predation effects (billions) are so huge, it's hard to grasp sometimes.

We saw the same thing with solar thermal: "oh no the birds will fry" -well sure, some will. but compared to birds hitting glass towers, birds dying in other ways, feral cats.. not a biggie.

For specific threatened species, there are mitigations which have to be considered with wind towers. It's not nothing. But its functionally exceeded by the real risk.
Hey that’s not fair, the X5690 is VERY efficient… at heating a home in the winter time.
Well the author isn't doing a good job. He's complaining about social media on a thing we're only reading because of social media.

That BYD is equivalent to a 23.5K dacia spring extreme... so similar quality can be had cheaper.

American cars are much nicer (tesla?), or have better reputation then a recent foreign company with no accountability if they decide to pack up and leave customers stranded... Or if China decides to invade taiwan and get embargoed.
Social media != the Internet. It would make it harder to sign up for an account with the large social media services covered by the law. They would need to check ids, or outsource to someone who does.

It would be like creating a bank account.

You could do plenty of other things. Anything you don't need an account for isn't covered. Depending on how the law is implemented, perhaps many forums wouldn't be covered?

I think it would result in kids going to websites that their parents haven't heard of yet and don't check ids.
Bash's sadly flawed smart (programmable) completion
So perhaps you're suggesting we sort of "boil-down" an information source into a sort of base representation of meaning and intent, something similar to vector store, and relate the many inputs together in this space using the LLM as glue like one does manually creating links in a web of Zettelkasten for research. I think this is something that the field is rapidly moving towards in personal information management.
I agree. I still feel deeply nostalgic for Windows 2000. Everything was instant. And almost every program did more than what Slack does today and yet Slack is sluggishly slow. We went wrong somewhere.
>If the kid has an emergency, the teacher can call the parents. If the parents are having an emergency, the can call the school.

What about if the kid's being bullied? Half the time the teacher will side with the bully, especially if the bully's a more popular kid.

"Pre-order ... now!" It's mostly an ad.

> The traditional way of doing what i suggest is paying into a fund that people make claims against without having to sue.

Which only trades one cost for another, because now there is less checking going into ensuring that the person responsible is the person paying the claim. Why should innocent people have to pay more for tools to cover claims by other careless customers who injure themselves through their own negligence and no fault of the manufacturer?

> you can require they have sufficient assets/surety to cover if you sell in the US.

And now nobody can start a small company making tools because they can't afford to post the bond.

> this is not the first situation something like this has occurred in.

It is indeed not the first time we've passed an inefficient rule that imposes higher costs on innocent customers.
Ensuring code security while working with remote developers
Hi,
I have a small dev shop with 3 - 4 people working, and I hire developers who work remotely. Since we cannot provide devices to our developers until now, how can I ensure code safety so that the codes are not misused or stolen?

Could you please suggest any tools or systems that I can implement to ensure the proper safety of the code? Especially, when a developer leaves the company, how do you take full access to the developer so that he can no longer access the repository either from remote or locally?

Please suggest me some techniques that I could implement. Thanks!
The recent emphasis on internet anonymity is mostly not a response to better tech for eavesdropping.
Not strictly true - airlines also optimise on turnaround time. There's likely a sweet spot of bins packed vs landing-to-takeoff time.
I suspect they might be worried it could reproduce copyrighted code in certain circumstances, so their solution was to condition the model to never produce large continuous chunks of code. It was a very noticeable change across the board.
>The brain has some flaws that are very hard to overcome. Addictions are some of them.

The majority of people don't feel victim to addiction, it's a minority of people who are prone to it. Everyone shouldn't have their freedoms restricted just to cater to the more weak-minded.
Is there any data on how the availablity of abortion affected crime when it wasn’t associated with reproductive freedom?

Chinas one-child policy made abortion available, and compulsory. Plenty of countries legalized abortion in context that assumed men would decide for women - India and Japan, for example.

Doe legalizing abortion reduce crime if a woman needs her husbands permission? Or a commanding officer can order a subordinate to have an abortion?
