He's just a regular Joe Billionaire trying to build his McMansion and buy the local press to give him positive coverage. Everybody needs to take a good long look at themselves and then stop bullying him by playing the victim card.

As for SI, I have never liked the 'non-thousands' submultiples e.g. centimeters. I think it's confusing. You have km, m, and mm. factors of 1,000. Seems reasonable. Just like we have F, mF, uF, nF, pF for capacitors.

I think the various units are there because people like 'comfortable' numbers; e.g. people seem to prefer 8.9 cm to 89 mm ('8' is a number between 1 and 9, the most preferred numbers -- because we can count them on our fingers?).
Oh yeah, it turned out to be great for humans. It just happened to be the one thing that we specifically did for SEO first. Funny enough, it turns out that most "SEO optimizations" are just "make this better for humans, especially disabled humans".

It's a very good point! From one perspective, you can view Starship as a challenge that SpaceX can implement the STS (Shuttle) concept much better than the original STS itself. (And doing so, become cheap enough to create a high-volume orbital launch market). It's correct to be skeptical, even with SpaceX' track record. (Was it pg or whoever on HN who kept railing on that point about YC startups, that the implementation is everything—high-level ideas and concepts come cheap).

If Starship's proven a lot of things, there's still major show-stopping uncertainties remaining, like if they can execute well on the reentry heat-shield tiles. That was overwhelmingly difficult for STS. I'm not knowledgeable enough to guess if SpaceX is on a promising track with those or not—I'm looking forward to finding out what happens!

(Here's an open-ended question: if the modern SpaceX were asked to build a reusable spacecraft with (broadly) the same design choices as STS, would the outcome be closer to the dismal failure of the original, or to the success of Falcon 9? That is to say: how much of SpaceX' success do they owe to smart high-level design choices, vs. effective low-level execution?)

Yah, I worked at Samsung for a while and my (korean) wife worked at a 재벌 too. Here's what I think it is: Bureaucratic and inefficient till someone important (and usually thoughtful) says jump. Then absolutely everyone says "how high?" and then they all jump. I think this is conducive to risk taking, and if you're generally directionally correct in your bets, the bureaucracy and inefficiency matter less because big bets take time anyway and lots businesses suck so it's ok to be a bit slow. I don't see them getting into much analysis paralysis at the top of the companies, they move on the big bets, and that's half the battle.

Sure but the point of the comment was SRAM. There is some confusion in a subset of the ML people about hardware memories, their latencies, and bandwidths. We don’t all need to write kernels like Tri Dao to make transformers efficient on GPUs, but it would be great if more people were aware of the theoretical compute constraints of each type of model on a given hardware and then a subset of them worked towards building better pipelines.
I mean, that data in itself doesn't say much, conservatism in the US changed dramatically in 2015/2016. The people who call themselves conservative now are different to back in 2011. For example the education levels are a lot lower among conservatives and a lot higher among liberals than before.
Yep, that's what I was getting at. Whenever I mention censorship-resistant file sharing tools on here, somebody comes along and says, "bah, those are useless, they're full of nazis and child molesters". It's an endless catch-22: if really bad people can't evade surveillance, neither can you. And if you can, then they can, too. When most people hit that realization, they say, "yeah, ok, whatever, 24/7 surveillance is fine as long as it catches bad people too."

I'm curious if anyone could expand on the numbers here. Global data centres running at max capacity are estimated to require ~45GW of electricity. That's a lot, but not necessarily for the whole world, so it really depends on the rate of growth, and in particular, its national/regional distribution. For reference, demand on the British electricity grid peaked at 37.5GW today:

Making weapons of war is a kind of banal evil that most people can wrap their heads around.

Nestle spent enormous effort purposely convincing impoverished mothers in third world countries to spend their little money on Nestle infant formula despite knowing 1) The mothers would not be able to get clean water to make the formula with 2) would not be able to properly refrigerate unused but already mixed formula, which is a foodborne illness time bomb 3) that the mothers could not afford enough formula to adequately feed their infants, and the infants would be malnourished as a result

And they did this while trying to convince people formula was "healthier", while they knew that to be untrue.

When an infant formula company poisoned some kids in China meanwhile, some company execs literally got the death penalty.

> Paying a streamer to pretend to like you is not being part of a community. There is no community; they just constantly call it a community. A real community wouldn't vanish if one person (the streamer) left. That's a cult.

I see, so the communities that developer around FOSS projects would continue if the FOSS project disappeared? Do you think having a friendly and personable regular bartender that smiles when you talk to them makes you a cult member? Or is that different because some of your money gets you a beer?

> Doing none of those things is being part of a community. Parasocial relationships are monetisable. That's all. I think it's a bad idea to be on the paying end of that transaction.

Oh, being in a church congregation isn't being part of a community? Or being part of a FOSS user group? Come on now.

> Parasocial relationships are monetisable. That's all.

Any relationship is monetizable, including the ones I listed. Not everybody that chips in for a streamer has an unhealthy parasocial fixation, just as not everybody who plays video games is addicted to escapism, not everybody that drinks is an alcoholic, and not everybody that drops a coin in the collection plate is an obsessed zealot.

> I think it's a bad idea to be on the paying end of that transaction.

Yes, I gathered that, and you're certainly free to spend money on whatever you want. It's your needlessly black-and-white perspective and subsequent judgement of people who disagree that's strange.
> just telling the hospital you haven't got insurance is, again, good for 90+% off by itself.

My understanding is that directly charging a different (higher) amount for insurance is considered to be fraud.

It seems like such an absurd thing to care about. How nice of a home do you really _need_? Is it really necessary to bully and harass the citizens of your city into capitulating to your demands? If you stop being a paper billionaire can you even afford to keep the home?

It just seems like unsustainable absurdity for the primary purpose of rubbing everyone else's face in it. I suppose that's what makes some people good at being CEOs, but consequently, it makes them terrible neighbors that no one wants to be near.
Ask HN: When did OpenAI first observe emergent reasoning and generalization?
I am wondering when the seminal moment occurred that signs of reasoning and generalization transpired when scaling the parameters and training data in transformer-based models. Presumably it happened at OpenAI, but that's just an assumption. It would be fascinating to learn more on the moment of discovery and if there are any technical write-ups or blog posts detailing the -- fair to say -- historical process and findings. Does anybody have insights or pointers to share on this topic?
Yeah that’s a bad look. The subtext your team gave off here is that it wasn’t worth your time to understand the complaint and seriously respond to it.

> Parents looking for information on infant nutrition may be directed to this platform and be exposed to content that steers them towards Nestlé products. [...] recipes

Perhaps steered in more ways than one. Baby digestive comfort with breast milk varies with maternal diet. Some foods cause substantial infant distress. So there's an exploratory debugging process around material diet expansion, with backing off to a known-good bland diet, and experimental (re)introduction of foods. A friend was very systematic, and ended up with a list of problematic foods. Nothing singular, there are lots of similar lists out there.

Now you get a lot of mail around pregnancy and birth - it's a prime advertising window with new habits being formed. One bit of mail was a substantial booklet of recipes for new moms. Oddly substantial, with no ads. Also oddly, the recipe overlap with her breast-feeding distress list was massive. "WTF?" - a puzzle. How could someone manage to write a recipe booklet for new moms where every recipe harms breast feeding?? Until on the back page, in small print, "(c) Nestlé". Then not a puzzle at all.
Haha. Apologies. I hope I didn’t accidentally make anyone waste their time. If they did I’m sure there are people interested in hiring such people anyways so maybe it’s a time invested well in the end.

That's true, and I think it would need to be paired with some other features like having one account per person IRL, but it wouldn't be enforced unless the account is accused of being a bot. There are of course privacy concerns here, but it can only serve the purpose of verifying the account and does not have to be exposed to the public. I just think so far nothing creative or complex has been tried in this space.
I could see it being a boon for story telling: an actor sells their image and voice for AI storytelling and they get points on the back end for all uses of their image and voice without ever needing to read for the part, sit in a makeup chair, put up with producers and directors...

As for stopping voice-clone hacking: how about an encrypted microchip in one's hand can communicate wirelessly with a biometric ID app on a phone -- and the app can read an ultraviolet QR code tattooed on one's forehead as well -- to prove the legitimacy of who is on the other end, regardless of what their voice does or does not sound like?

Even if there is a limit to the degree to which the llm’s output can be fed back to it (and I think there must be, just like a person who’s only feedback is self-help mantras will eventually have limited improvement), humans could still be reduced to just thumbs-up or thumbs-downing which llm outputs get fed-back, which is not really a fate any of us want.
I think many (most?) boot camps are money grabs that overpromise and underdeliver. I've also seen great juniors come out of boot camps. Either way, you're now talking about something different than your original question - most jobs out there are not junior-level jobs, so a month or a few of boot camp or self study just aren't sufficient.

I suppose what I should have said is that Linux is much more European.

KDE is DEFINITELY European. And as part of the KDE project came office applications and the once-web-browser Konqueror.

Tim Berners-Lee and CERN were european, you can view the early internet as European even if TCPIP came from the US DARPA.

Suse, one of the most important pre-ubuntu distros is German.

Ubuntu is Australian, really that makes it part of the overall British Commonwealth and much more "european" than "american".

I can't comment on kernel contributions, package managers, etc.

What is important is that the EU has several times looked at "computing independence", and if you look at Windows and Linux, Linux was much more european from that standpoint. AMD is american, but it's my impression they invested early into building europe-based fabs, which gave them a leg up with EU antitrust against Intel.

From the "game of thrones" of geopolitics, AMD and Linux and CERN gave the EU some degree of parity, or at least an ability to stay close and relevant, with US tech innovations.

I don't think power companies should be in the business of deciding what workloads are more critical for humans.
It's not correct to say that it's an artificial sweetener -- not all non-caloric sweeteners are artificial, and not all processed additives are synthetic. That is to say, erythritol occurs in the environment in all kinds of settings, where e.g. sucralose is artificial because it needs to be synthesized by humans in a laboratory.

To be clear, that is the only sense in which I distinguish artificial/synthetic and natural substances -- those words are heavily loaded now and carry with them all kinds of connotations to the point of not even being particularly useful, but if we're going to use them we should at least be correct!

The tests that work in measuring human behavior are fairly simply and very repeatable. Think Fitts's or Hick's Law, which involve hit testing and searching through an unsorted list. I can imagine pattern matching being fairly repeatable as well, but I'm not sure how it really relates to real problem solving. Then again, medical doctors are basically pattern matchers (and why they are fairly excited about AI assistance in...matching patterns).
>Stepping into a venue where people are actually dancing to live to a jazz or swing band, and to not just hear but feel the deafening blast of horns are things you just can't get from a recording.

Dancing bal to a gypsy jazz group at Le Colonial in SF years ago, the space cramped, the tables pushed back a few feet around, the crowd dancing and mingling amongst the tables, half knowing each other, at the twilight of a dying facet of the city... I don't remember if the musicians were very good, or even whether it was just a solo guitarist---I recall he'd played at a party a day or two before---but in that moment the music was more enchanting than any grand concert I had been to.

Even live, but in a concert hall, I expect it would have been unsatisfying. By itself, except for particular technical appreciation when at Django's level, gypsy jazz is rather monotonous. I've heard styles that need similar contexts, played out of place in concert halls, like Max Raabe, and while the musicians are excellent, it feels lacking.

But in the right context, the context it was born in, it is amazing.
So... what? Should judges overturn all contracts they think are "unreasonable"?
