> And judging by the other comments in this thread ATM (with one possible exception), nobody seems to care...

I know this sounds defeatist, but I've gotten to the point where I don't think it's possible in modern technological life in a developed country these days to avoid being tracked to some extent. At least not without dropping most (if not all) of the conveniences I care about too much in day-to-day life. And yeah, that's on me for becoming so accustomed to those things that I'd feel worse not having them.

It's a sad state of affairs, really. But I don't think this will change without some heavy-duty privacy-focused legislation (with massive, tightly-enforced penalties for non-compliance) that forces companies to prioritize user privacy. Part of me would like to believe that sort of thing is coming within the next decade. But the more cynical part of me thinks it won't come, because governments benefit from companies tracking their users, as they can buy that tracking data even when their own laws say they cannot collect it themselves.
Generally people use Zerotier for this kind of usecase in the industry. It is pretty robust.
I have long observed that the Abrahamic God seems to be quite an asshole

If you only read the Old Testament, that makes sense. The reason that Jesus threw such a massive spanner into the works and made everyone upset was that he preached the exact opposite. Then everyone freaked out.

Second round of the Candidates tournament played Friday had 4/4 decisive games[1]. In general, a tie might be the most common result but even at the highest level there tend to be chances for both sides.

A consumer is happy as long as they can run Edge on their computer and log in to Facebook. They will not complain about windows on ARM either.

However, we can definitely agree that certain sectors will struggle more with Windows on ARM. My intuition is that a lot of really conservative industries run on windows. Some with a bespoke program for Windows 95 they still keep running on XP.

Llm.c – LLM training in simple, pure C/CUDA
OGS is definitely the best server in the West. Deserves all patronage it gets and more. I wish the AGA was more supportive of it rather than KGS.
The design of the study itself precludes showing causal linkage. That does not mean it does not exist. At the very least, the existence of this data should increase the odds that you believe a causal connection exists compared to there being no increases in suicides relating to popular media centered on suicide.

I guess I should have followed your methodology and simply asserted my point without providing any supporting evidence. That would have been much better surely.
We use KataGo and sometimes LeelaZero (which is a replication of the AlphZero paper). KataGo was trained with more knowledge of the game (feature engineering and loss engineering), so it trained faster. It was also trained on different board sizes and to play to get a good result when it's already behind or ahead.

KaTrain is a good frontend.

I watched the alpha go doc and it was really shocking to me when one of the top go players decided to retire because the game was meaningless now that computers could beat anybody.

it's good seeing that that wasn't the case for all players.
I always love seeing new tech, but this is honestly extremely scary. It's bad enough that websites can track what e.g. products are on screen. Will we have a future where we are also tracked by what products we look at the most?

Name one use case where there is a difference between latency of 200 t/s (fireworks.ai mixtral model) and 500 t/s (groq mixtral)? Not throughput and not time to first token, but latency.

Groq model shines at latency, not at the other two.
I'll defer to your expertise on studies. And I acknowledge that may be possible.

That said, anecdotally the difference is night and day. So whether it's actually altering the microbiome or altering some other mechanism, I try to recommend it as much as possible.
Unless you disconnect from it.
Almost all of the top models are smarter than 99% of the people already I believe. They speak a lot of languages, and they are pretty proficient in almost all areas. Yes, people can be smarter than the AI in the areas they specialize in, but generally speaking llm’s know all subjects and almost everything else. They are only going to get better while I don’t think we humans will get that much better, maybe in one or two areas but not everything all at once.
Congrats on your efforts to sure up democracy! :)

I will do a lot of work to avoid having to touch ansible and friends. Fortunately, I don't have to do a lot of work because I spent 10 minutes writing a 50 line Go program a decade ago that has done everything I've needed it to do in the interim (IIRC the only change I made to it was supporting Go modules back in ~2015).
>Attraction isn't a choice or a preference.

Attraction is mediated by culture, i.e. there's uptick in Asian men attractiveness after kpop phenomenon at least in under 30s. Dating sites can do a "DEI" and brute force more variety into skew percentages of click throughs through mere exposure effect. They can remove option to filter by race or height or whatever physical characteristics. But that's competitive suicide vs dating sites that don't. There's nothing legally wrong with automating racism, but that's also more or less what it is. People don't "control" who they're attracted to, but platforms that mediate / gatekeep how people percieve attractiveness can mess with the dials, if they wanted to.
Even the more centrist tend to block instances. Especially because the others are politically motivated. Who in the center of the political spectrum would want to federate with gab for example? The same goes for the other extreme, like some instances which are full of tankies. When you federate with them you can't have a single news topic without getting "NATO evil, Putin great" pile-ons. It derails every discussion.

One of the nicer centrist instances is Beehaw and they defederated a lot of stuff just to keep the atmosphere alright.

I used to think it was a bad thing when instances defederated each other but since I saw the above happening I agree with it.
Can I rephrase this? "Professional Go players finally have a software good enough to beat them, as a result of which they got better by using the software".
> Second, it's not mine or EFF's responsibility to police what Google does. Let's make it very clear that the current situation is Google's responsibility and nobody else's.

That's not how society works, though. There's no such thing as "natural human rights". If you want rights -- like privacy, or the requirement that you can control all aspects of your devices -- you have to fight for them sometimes. Millennia of human history is littered with examples, and plenty of people in power would prefer you didn't have any rights.

Companies are in some ways sorta just agnostic: they often don't care if you have rights or not, but if you don't, they're going to exploit that situation for their own financial gain. It's lame, but that's the system and society we live in. Ignoring that doesn't make it go away. Organizations like the EFF exist precisely because this sort of thing is our collective responsibility.

So I 100% reject your assertion here. We are all responsible for our collective situation, even if often it feels like we are powerless to change things. Ultimately we aren't actually powerless, but it's hard (and sometimes risky, depending on the issue at hand) to work to band together to form a large enough power base to change things, collectively.

If you don't want to be an activist, that's fine. But complaining about your rights then feels a little hollow and lazy.
We just need infinite monkeys producing infinite training data and reliable fusion power for infinite data centers.

> To admire Satan, then, is to give one's vote not only for a world of misery, but also for a world of lies and propaganda, of wishful thinking, of incessant autobiography. Yet the choice is possible. Hardly a day passes without some slight movement towards it in each one of us. That is what makes Paradise Lost so serious a poem. The thing is possible, and the exposure of it is resented. Where Paradise Lost is not loved, it is deeply hated. As Keats said more rightly than he knew, 'there is death' in
Milton.

to have motives for wishing to evade the full impact of the
poem. For, I repeat, the thing is possible ; and after a certain point it is prized. Sir Willoughby may be unhappy, but he wants to go on being Sir Willoughby. Satan wants to go on being Satan. That is the real meaning of his choice 'Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heav'n.' Some, to the very end, will think this a fine thing to say ; others will think that it fails to be roaring farce only because it spells agony. On the level of literary criticism the matter cannot be argued further. Each to his taste.

I can’t imagine anyone, even Apple, solving the issues of the screen being perfectly flat at the hinge. I don’t think it can be made to feel the same as the rest of the screen or have no visual difference either.

And I like my iPhone. If it was twice as thick and half as tall when folded, I just don’t see that as “better”.

If it was the same thickness as today when folded and half as thick when unfolded I’m not sure that’s better either (and would be harder to make anyway).

Folding phones seem like one of those neat things that can be made but don’t solve any problem most people have. It seems like it would be most useful to make something the size of a lipstick case that unfolds into something a bit wider. That would’ve been cool 20 years ago. But I don’t wanna phone that tiny these days.
No, your opinion is out of touch. The companies that release these programs don’t care about 500 mb being wasted. What is your mom using? Very likely bloated software she unwittingly installed.

Look around, it’s a bloated, buggy world. Calendar apps aren’t being carefully engineered by European computer scientists.

>Electron apps tend to be poorly designed

How so, are you saying because they use Electron they’re inherently poorly designed?
Yes, but suddenly you need different kinds of standoffs instead of one uniform size. This makes manufacturing a bit more expensive, logistics a bit more challenging, and installation a bit more complicated.

All of this means it's going to be more expensive than standard mounting hardware. Not by a lot, but solar panels have become cheap enough that even small differences matter.

Not directly the point of the article, but is it fair to say driverless cars are still just demos when they're operating on every street, road, and freeway from San Francisco to San Jose, with tens of millions of passenger miles?

I feel like once there are paying customers sitting in the vehicles, it's not a demo, it's a reality.

> You can’t get a mortgage without house insurance.

You don't have to get a mortgage to live. You can save up and pay cash, or you can rent. Or you can pay the higher premiums that reflect your actual risk.

> Things like fire danger risk tend to change after the home is built as new data comes in.

In which case this is a different class of insurance that you could buy if you wanted it. You wouldn't be insuring against fire, you'd be insuring against the risk of your property value going down to reflect higher fire insurance premiums if the fire risk goes up. But why should you be forced to buy that type of insurance if you don't want it, or have it priced into everyone else's fire insurance premiums?

And regardless of that, why should someone who buys their house after the fire risk is known to be high be subsidized by everyone else?

> Health insurance isn’t implemented that way, as you acknowledge, exposing folks to exactly that risk.

It isn't implemented that way because of regulations, but the issue is what kind of regulations there should be. The existing regulations are extremely inefficient -- Americans pay more for healthcare/insurance than any other country, regardless of whether the other country has a public or private healthcare system.
True, I find resizing and tiling specifically a 3 window screen in a 1/2, 1/4, 1/4 setup to be impossible to figure out - often I just move windows around repeatedly until I give up. If I could drag directly it would definitely make it easier. But that's relatively rare for me.

Show HN: OSS tool that let you create OpenAI DX with any LLMs
Hi HN,
Spike and Donovan here. We have been building BricksLLM (https://github.com/bricks-cloud/bricksllm), an API gateway that allows you to add the "OpenAI DX" to any arbitrary LLMs. For example, you can create a self-serve dashboard to allow end-users to create API keys for accessing your LLMs, impose different rate/spend limits for each end-user, track their token usage, and detect PII. Everything is done via a high performant API gateway written in Go.

BricksLLM has native support for OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI and vLLM. You can also integrate with other OSS LLMs using our custom provider feature.

Currently, people are using BricksLLM for the following use cases:

* Safely sharing access to different both commercial and self-hosted LLMs (e.g. teachers sharing LLM access with students, managers sharing LLM access with data scientists etc.)

* Building an AI dev platform with observability and monitoring

* Building token usage based billing

* Blocking or redacting requests that contains PII (https://github.com/bricks-cloud/BricksLLM/blob/main/cookbook/pii_detection.md)

* Improving reliability via retries, failovers and API key rotations

We believe that one underrated aspect of an LLM platform is the developer experience. The performance of a foundational model is important. However, LLMs will become less differentiated as the competition heats up among different providers. Therefore, a good developer experience is just as crucial in creating a competitive advantage. This is why I believe OpenAI has invested a lot into improving the DX of its platform. Now with BricksLLM, you can do the same to your own LLMs.

The latency of the gateway is about 15ms on my M1 Chip MacBook pro. We have load tested our applications to be able to handle more than 1000 requests/s (https://github.com/bricks-cloud/BricksLLM/blob/main/blog/how-we-built-a-highly-scalable-LLM-gateway-with-go.md).

Would love to hear your feedbacks and opinions!

>What? No.

You'll notice from the first source that it was flat and low prior to 2009.

I'm not asserting it should be 0, but comparatively speaking it ought to be a tiny number compared to operating money supply or debts of the government.

If you consider perhaps middle eastern rich countries like UAE, Denmark, Finland, Germany. Who arent bankrupt, they havent done what the USA has done.

Thinkpads used to (?) sound an obnoxiously aggressive beep if you hit this limit. It was a nasty square wave at maximum volume and always made me jump. In later models you could disable it in the BIOS. I'm not sure if that's still something they do, or if it's gone the way of the Thinklight and the drainage holes!
There is a key difference in the way these models are trained - Chess and Go have clearly defined win conditions, so a model can be taught to explore the possibility space and try to reach victory by any means necessary, potentially with strategies which have never been seen before. With art on the other hand there is no objective measure of quality, so the models are instead taught to treat already existing art as the benchmark to strive towards, making them trite by nature.

As I see it AI can absolutely find innovative solutions, but only if you can clearly and explicitly define the problem it needs to solve.

Yeah, but bluetooth is different in how it can stutter and cause interrupts than just signal strength. I have seen multiple common "speaker" devices where multiple devices have paired to it so that while it is streaming from one device, gets confused when another paired device is rediscovered and it tries to connect. The confusion of trying to decide if the current stream should continue or allow new device to take over is irritating.

I had one device that would suddenly connect at random times and music would suddenly start playing from an app that was previously not playing until the bluetooth device "woke up" or whatever happened.

I hate bluetooth for all of the little paper cut issues it has. Not one of them are killer, but together just ruins its likeability.

There's a quote from Zach Weinersmith (author, cartoonist) during a podcast a while back that stuck with me about Milton's depiction of Satan:

"I will say Milton is great and readable as long as Satan is talking. [...] the joke on Milton is that he was the greatest gift to Satan in history. He did everything short of giving him a two-headed guitar. It is just like, Satan is so cool." [0]

> Evidence suggests that physicians spend less time in appointments and provide less education about health to patients with obesity compared with thinner patients, and patients who report having experienced weight bias in the healthcare setting have poor treatment outcomes and might be more likely to avoid future care. Obesity also adversely impacts age-appropriate cancer screening, which can lead to delays in breast, gynecological, and colorectal cancer detection.

> Negative influences on engagement with primary care were evaluated and ten themes were identified: contemptuous, patronizing, and disrespectful treatment, lack of training, ambivalence, attribution of all health issues to excess weight, assumptions about weight gain, barriers to health care utilization, expectation of differential health care treatment, low trust and poor communication, avoidance or delay of health services, and seeking medical advice from multiple HCPs.
So any lab (ie, hospital) can run these tests? So a physician can literally ask for anything under the sun, and there really is no technical reason why they cannot.

It might take longer to get the results for more exotic tests (ie, pfas blood serum levels), but for the most part all labs have the equipment to isolate whatever component may be in your blood (foreign or “native”/natural)
