> When I worked for a power company as a teenager, they saw the one nuclear power plant they owned as a lead weight around their necks.

The problem is that they had one plant. If they had a dozen then knowledge could be amortized between them (see France, Japan, Canada-Ontario: all fairly standardized designs).

Part of the problem in with US nuclear: a whole bunch of one-offs, with little-to-no economies of scale to leverage.

300ms is the same interval originally used in iOS to distinguish between a tap event and a double-tap. IOW, while not "realtime", its's pretty damn fast. I wonder what the theoretical lower limit is for your use case?
To this day 8x7b Mixtral remains the best model you can run on a single 48GB GPU. This has the potential to become the best model you can run on two such GPUs, or on an MBP with maxed out RAM, when 4-bit quantized.
Yeah, same here: after a day of staring at code on a screen, it's hard to get motivated to look at more code at home. I'd rather watch a movie with my family.

Ask HN: Underrated/unknown log and metric aggregation tools?
Long story short, I'm very tired of certain pitfalls in some of the most popular log and metric aggregation tools. So I figured I'd ask here if anyone wants to share some that aren't well known.

Ideally ones that do both logs and metrics in the same system, or are at least easy to get the logs and metrics pieces to work together.

Why do you think they're underrated? What is your experience using them?
My first thought was how much RAM? Will it work on 64GB M1?
There’s a massive difference between bluetooth earbuds and $200-300 (ish) noise canceling Bose headphones. Yes, those are obviously going to sound good. I love mine.

But you can’t really find a decent budget option on bluetooth. I hate mine and only use them for audiobooks. You could find reasonable budget wired earbuds even 15 years ago.
Making encryption more convenient for everyone is definitely a good thing. Some people will always have that paranoia around letting keys out of their hand, but for the rest of us this protocol aims to reduce the need to trust any one service with your key material by distributing it across independent distrusting services.
I ran that rare beast, Windows XP64. It was basically Server2003 x64 with the XP UI.

Driver compatibility was terrible, as you might expect, but it could support a vast amount of memory (relative to XP). I used the base O/S only to run VMware Workstation, and then ran small instances of XP, each dedicated to a task like audio, video, etc, on top of that. Along with FreeBSD and various flavors of Linux.

That was my daily driver until late 2010. Solid as a rock.

Note that this article focuses largely on puberty blockers. These are not the same as hormone replacement treatments or surgeries. The best way to describe puberty blockers is as a way to buy time to make decisions before the irreversible changes of puberty set in. They facilitate the deliberate, conscious decision-making everyone agrees on is important here.

The benefits of puberty blockers are well-documented and not hard to find. Here is a recent study of 20.000 trans folks aged 18-36 [1]. Those with access to puberty blockers had significantly better outcomes than their peers who didn’t. When factoring in the statistics about ideation, “life-saving” is undoubtably the right term to use.

Don't think of LLM as completely replacing the support agent here; rather augmenting. A lot of customer service is setting/finding context: customer name, account, order, item, etc. If an LLM chatbot can do all of that, then handoff to a human support agent, there is real cost savings to be had, without reducing the quality of service.

It is ~260GB with presumably fp16 weights. Should fit into 64GB at 3-bit quantization (~49GB).

Edit: To add to this, I've had good luck getting solid output out of mixtral 8x7b at 3-bit, so that isn't small enough to completely kill the model's quality.
2 Wheeler EV penetration is increasing in India. "2W EVs form the majority of EV sales today, accounting for 85%–90% of all EV units sold in India, followed by 4W EVs (7%–9% of sales) and 3W EVs (5%–7% of sales)." Source: https://www.bain.com/insights/india-electric-vehicle-report-....

EVs have crossed the 6% threshold of volume of all vehicles sold in India.

India's EV migration will start from 2 wheeler and 3 wheeler EVs. Public transport is already migrating to EV based. City buses have already migrated to EVs in cities like Pune and other cities are catching up.

Cars and long distance transport trucks will be last. You can read up on the EV statistics here - https://www.autocarpro.in/analysis-sales/over-34-million-evs...

I'm reminded of the Peabody Rebus Reading System, an old (1960s) system for reading pedagogy based on the "whole word reading" idea in which a text is presented as a series of pictograms representing words, which are gradually replaced with their corresponding words.

Sure, that happened with Europe, when Europeans laughed at trump wanting to terminate nato for not contributing to their promised defense spending. then Russia attacked. Europeans are now firmly allied with US against Russia and China.

When China attacks Australia again, either via a trade war again, or a territory war like Chinese ships water torpedoing Philippine ships or China killing Indian soldiers, perhaps Australians will then change their mind, at least the ones that had dollar signs only in their head.

People respected Australia before for standing up to China and calling China out for covid origins.

> crowdsourcing the missing things like VSCode does.

Based on what I am seeing right now [1], they might well have enough inertia to seriously compete against VSCode. I've analyzed a lot of open source projects and their community engagement on GitHub is quite impressive. Their contributor and new contributor stats is still going up, even though the initial hype was 2 months ago, which is really impressive.

If they can get proper support for Linux and Windows and nail core features, I can see people wanting to contribute in the future and business leaders paying for it, if they can demonstrate improved productivity and collaboration.

Not that the original article has anything to do with Kerberos other than design-by-analogy (not to knock the article, it's describing an interesting thing, and I'm always up for 90s nostalgia regardless of cause :-) but I think that version was more "MIT figured out that the change from ITAR to BXA and the published-code category made it reasonably safe for them to put anything up with a warning and possibly a registration". (CNS is the v4 release we shipped, which mostly got folded back in as an MIT krb4 patch release as well; we then shipped KerbNet which was V5 based, until we dropped the project entirely.)
Specifically, swallowing ONE magnet is probably fine, since children do not tend to eat metal frequently. Swallowing multiple strong magnets brings the risk of pinching (and necrotizing) sections of the gut.
Profound Damage Found in Maine Gunman's Brain, Possibly from Blasts
I foobarf you too.
Thoroughly enjoyed the article since I have heard about Neon but never understood what it offers on the technical level over other PG-compatible projects.

The article mentions that a consequence of separating storage from compute is that compute nodes cache hot pages in memory and load cold pages from object storage (like S3?) when needed. Does anyone know what are the consequences of this decision. In case of a query that touches multiple rarely used pages, would that incur high latency and ingress? How does that penalty compare to a vanilla postgres running on AWS and storing pages on EBS?
Are all names in Mathematica really all together in a single namespace? Seems odd not to have such a specific function like SolarEclipse behind some kind of importable module.

My headphones use a proprietary interface on the headphone side so each replacement costs £20. I’ve never had an AirPod battery go bad, but apparently they replace them for £50 (or free in the first 2 years with AppleCare+).

However the main issue isn’t the cost, it’s the fact that I suddenly don’t have a working headphone until I get a new cable.

Ask HN: What do you do with Local LLMs?
There are quite a few local LLMs released in the past few months, do you run them? If so, what are your usecases?

Personally, I find them good, but very slow (RTX 3050, Mistral 7B) and hard to make them output in a consistent format (JSON, bullet points). GPT 3.5 makes it look like a pointless exercise from a speed and consistency perspective.

Any usecases for Local LLMs apart from them being local so we can feed sensitive documents?
In the early 1980s, an Ethernet adaptor required a lot of board space. They were often of similar complexity to the main CPU board. For example, this is DEC's first Unibus Ethernet: https://gunkies.org/w/images/1/16/DEUNA.jpg, which occupied two boards.

The software required to run a TCP/IP stack was also large, limiting the system to a handful of active sockets, and consuming large parts of the available CPU power to run something like Telnet or FTP.

It took a few years for CPUs to get more powerful, more RAM to become affordable, and for network hardware to become integrated onto the smaller boards like ISA or NuBus.

The rise and impending fall of the dental cavity
I still wouldn’t use the word “discover” in this context. Physics is not pure mathematics. There are many theories that just do not correspond to reality. Would you say that strings and extra dimensions have been discovered? No, we’d say they’ve been predicted by a certain theory, but not discovered yet — the prediction may not even be right!
The VXWorks port I did (as a Cygnus contract to some part of NASA that had gotten hit with a "security mandate" used basically that trick, because we couldn't assume the hardware had any realtime clock at all, so we had to stash something and work with a tick counter.) Hmm, https://web.mit.edu/eichin/www/embedded-kerberos.html mostly talked about porting, and doesn't mention the clock problem - that was the right project though.
A lot of the article is devoted to people being surprised they could build two apartments in the Bay Area for $50k.

I hate to be this HN guy, but they didn't build anything. From what the article says, they took an existing structure and added a shower and sink to the existing plumbing, and installed some countertops, and some security cameras. They did all the work themselves, so the $50k is just for what seems to be two rooms worth of materials. They didn't buy the land or build a structure from the ground up. Without knowing more details, an average of $25k actually seems high to me if I think about turning a small office into a bedroom with a kitchenette. One guy spent $8k, which seems about right, and the other guy spent $42k, which seems enough to build a pretty swanky bachelor pad.

> but Command R is commercially licensed

It is licensed under CC-BY-NC-4.0. That license means you are free to use, modify and redistribute it, so long as you aren't doing so "commercially". What exactly counts as "commercial" use is a complex legal question, and the answer may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction (different courts may interpret the phrase differently). But, for example, if you are just using it at home for private experimentation on your own personal time, with no plans to make money from doing so (whether now or in the future), I think pretty much everyone will agree that counts as "non-commercial".

Other cases – e.g., if a government agency uses the software to provide some government function, is that "non-commercial"? – are far less clear. Those are really the kind of questions you need to ask a lawyer (which I am not).
