This is not how any genocide in history has unfolded. States usually don’t just all of a sudden use any means necessary kill every person belonging to a group (the Rwandan genocide may be the exception here). Even the holocaust didn’t start with Nazis killing every Jew on sight, but rather escalated starting with apartheid and slowly escalating over a decade to industrialized killing. There usually isn’t a coherent plan to conduct a genocide with the most efficient means available, but rather incitement, dehumanization, escalation and reaction. Israel is conducting a genocide but they are being careful while doing so. They could, in theory, drop a nuclear bomb on Gaza, but doing so would certainly loose them any sympathy. Their current conduct of slowly escalating, systemic killing and preventing aid has not cost them the support of the American government. Most likely they aim to keep it that way.

That said, a “perfect environment for hate crimes” does not excuse a genocide, nor other crimes for that matter. If it did we could excuse Hamas’ conduct on Oct 7 as well. Hate crimes ought to be prevented or prosecuted regardless of the environment they were committed in. This is why it is important to call Israel’s crimes what they are, a genocide.

Do you mind my asking, if you're working on private codebases, how you go about using GPT/Claude as a code assistant?
I'm just removing IP and pasting into their website's chat interface. I feel like there's got to be something better out there but I don't really know anyone else that's using AI code assistance at all.
They aren't when a fire in Redding CA isn't going to impact insurance rates in Torrance CA.

Insurance rates are calculated at a hyper-local level.

Plus, building codes in CA require earthquake retrofitting to survive an 8.0 earthquake (10x the size of the Port-au-Prince earthquake).

It's like me saying the east coast is unlivable due to polar vortexes and hurricanes, or the Midwest is unlivable due to polar vortexes and tornados.
For me the pulse width modulation is just too annoying: it causes terrible headaches.
That really opened my eyes. I played GTAIII a long time ago on a portable black and white TV, and I vividly remember it looking so much better than our main TV (which was still a tube at the time)
I agree there's more to be examined if we want a good picture. There's still no proven correlation between race and intelligence here. And that is all I'm arguing. Saying "blacks are stupider than whites" is a statement that is lazy to the point of being racist. It is definitely not "accurate and mild".
It really. It’s all based on anecdotes you see in the news. Big state with large population means more anecdotes to report on.

The storms this year caused lots of issues and were widely reported. But normalize for the size of the state not all that big a deal.
I'm a hardcore Quake/Unreal apologist, but you gotta hand something to Halo and Halo 2. Gorgeous shader-based graphics for the time, vehicles, absurd arsenals, wide-open maps, and 16 player(!!!) LAN play. It's a game that would have sold like gangbusters on PC, and was only that much more successful for being well-supported on console too.

One might even argue that the success of Halo is what forced arena shooters like Counter Strike and Team Fortress to evolve or die. There was more at stake after it released, and outside the competitive circles there wasn't much demand for the FPS equivalent of Wheaties.

Today "flat earth" is yet another another pejorative people throw around when they've nothing substantive to say. Somewhat similar to invoking Godwin's law. Ironically enough, flat earth emerged out of a debate society. It was a debate society to test and hone rhetorical skills by engaging with a deliberately absurd hypothetical.

There's nothing fringe about observing that there hasn't been hyperinflation or analyzing the reasons for a lack of hyperinflation. Many erroneously predicted dramatic price inflation due to the similarly dramatic inflation of the money supply. The "Dollar Milkshake Theory" offers plausible answers to the questions you posed above. We shouldn't have to evaluate it as some kind of gospel truth. Instead, individuals who have an interest in the topic can examine it, take what they may, perhaps build their own ideas upon it or reject it based upon their own rational thoughts.

If you have no interest in engaging in a good faith discussion or if you have no interest in examining the answers to those questions, perhaps you shouldn't pose them in an open discussion. The premise is disingenuous and obnoxious. If there's no room for rational discussion or examination, what is left is by default irrational. If there's no curiosity or interest, there's no reason to pose the questions.

There's nothing sales-y about his talks. From what I've heard he's generally expressed a lack of interest in promoting his services in those forums. Instead he engages with others who disagree. He debates with academic economists. He debates with doomsayers who are explicitly selling fear. Would you have us believe that academics are also pitching investments? That professors who are publishing free to access papers are going to hoodwink you out of your savings? Your language here would suggest as much.

Even if he were selling something, are you so fragile that you cannot endure a salesman's pitch to learn the details of the product? Who else would be considered a domain expert, if not academic economists and the traders who put macroeconomic theories into practice?

For those who are genuinely curious as to the mechanisms driving markets, it wouldn't be unreasonable to examine to the thoughts of domain experts. I suppose then, if we cannot examine the ideas of the domain experts, we should build our own layman theories and ideas out of whole cloth? If that's your position, invoking the fringe accusation becomes doubly ironic.

Throwing around pejoratives doesn't move the discussion forward. It is both obnoxious and toxic.

The characterization driving your prejudicial dismissal is inaccurate. Worse yet, "The Dollar Milkshake Theory" supports your general sentiment against doom. Perhaps you have your own internal rationalizations for your inaccurate prejudices, but outwardly there's nothing to distinguish your posts from outright trolling. If you possessed even modicum of curiosity or good faith...

All this from a site that puts on airs about the quality of discussion.

I'm curious: given that the model will probably be hosted in a private server, how would meta know or prove that someone is using their model against the license?
To be fair, the Llama 2 instruction tuning was notably bad.
People bitch about Prop 13, but it _does_ go up every year, but does not track the dumb valuation cycles in California.

There's a nice place nearish me that sold for like 3 million dollars, which is crazy, but the property tax is like $36000 a year. That seems crazy as well.

It was ultimately a mundane bug, but the amounts taken that were able to slip past are the real lede.

> casino manager Nicholas Weeks explained that it is possible to insert two receipts into TICO machines. That was a feature, not a bug, and allowed gamblers to redeem two receipts and be paid the aggregate amount.

Nope. Underpromise, overdeliver. Build something so useful that you don't need to inflate it to get it noticed.
>I don’t see the problem. Insurance companies aren’t charities, they exist to make a profit. How do insurance companies make profits? By paying out less than they charge. In other words, by ripping you off. Government can provide these services at cost. The evidence for this is: every other developed country.

Insurance is a service, basically holding and investing your money and absorbing unknown risks, and processing payments. The government can't actually do it cheaper except by utilizing salary-controlled labor and other tricks.

>The evidence for this is: every other developed country.

This only happens in the West, and the West (with the exception of a few oil-rich countries) is financially screwed.

>It’s not an accident that Canadians live longer than Americans. Canadians get healthcare, Americans get propaganda and excuses for why it’s not possible. And propaganda doesn’t help you when you’re sick.

Canadians constantly complain about their system. It is very difficult to get appointments and their healthcare system is increasingly offering/suggesting euthanasia as a cure for various ills, even simple depression. No thanks.
Not at all odd if you have taught in such private schools. It's a matter of seeing things going on that in principle the teacher is supposed to put a stop to but in practice you ignore, hoping that no one in future looking for a scapegoat points a finger at you for ignoring the thing.

The quality of care for Medicaid patients is generally crap. Go and ask your doctor if they accept Medicaid patients, or even those on ACA plans. I'd wager the answer is a big 'no'.

The differences in quality of care and levels of access are stark, with most Employer subsidized insurance >> ACA plans >> Medicare >> Medicaid.
Bro race is still made up in those scenarios. Somalis, Ethiopians, Zulus and African Americans are all black. None of these groups are the same ethnicity at all.

Let's fucking go!
This is a very well written comment, so thank you :)

What I'm saying is obviously speculation, but it's based on the following:

- large fortune 500 companies are the ones with actual political power. The vast majority of businesses are far less likely to be able to lobby for significant policy change.

- that said, if this was an actual issue wrt to budgeting and such, I'm sure the bean counters would have already lobbied internally for external lobby for universal healthcare, if that makes sense. The silence from the big players on this subject tells me they're more than willing to pay for their employee healthcare, otherwise they'd already have eliminated this cost center. So, they do have an incentive to maintain the status quo.

- their ability to recruit kinda stopped after ACA. Before that, major players had 100% free healthcare, which was an actual recruitment advantage. Nowadays, it's pretty uniform so it does not matter. HOWEVER, I personally have some anecdata about folks who stay in big tech because they have kids with special needs, care which would be super expensive if they wanted to move to some small startup or even a government job.
>The buyer still might be borrowing the money

You're missing something that many/most states have laws that the seller/buyer must disclose, not the price the house is sold for, but how much of a loan was issued for the house. If they are not disclosing this then it's likely they are committing a crime by not doing so. The fact we are seeing larger amounts of 'paid in full' on houses is a significant anomaly and represents a change in market dynamics, and all changes in market behavior should be monitored. For example when we saw leading up to 2008 crash the "interest only loans", it was predicted by a sizeable number of people that a crash was happening 'soon', and in which it did.

Of course this varies by state, so other laws can apply.
I see it more as an indirect signal for how good Llama 3 8B can get after proper fine-tuning by the community.

That's fair from the discovery side. I was referring to the "supply side": how do we get more people creating content for the web, where they fully own that content? I used the web a fair amount before Google, and I don't recall having a problem finding content. Maybe my expectations were lower. Maybe my attention span was longer. I remember spending a lot of time in "indexes", browsing by topic. Now I use DDG exclusively. When I accidentally use Google I am increasing shocked by the low quality. I am also asking chatgpt to discover what to search for, which I find really effective. I feel like rewilding the internet will require users to try harder. Which I guess means encouraging users to understand why they should try harder.
Pretty much anyone with a decade of experience at the big tech companies is making at least the top end of that range.
In fairness they did not use a ruler or eyes based on the excerpts you quote they extracted exact coordinates of data from an svg format which if the svg was created correctly should at least give a non-biased dataset maybe with less precision than the source
They can change the prompt without changing the model, since the prompt only affects current "attention."

Amazon prefers that people return goods. Last month, I bought something and immediately on next day price fell a bit. Contacting amazon support to see if they would offer me a partial refund of the difference(as my order didn't still ship), they told me that they don't do that anymore and I should deny the delivery and order at new price. After 2 days of my second order, first order was actually shipped(irrelevant to me at this stage), but the price now fell significantly(~35% of original), so I simply ordered at a new price and waited. Took me around 1.5 month to get my thing, but ultimately, this could be avoided if amazon was nice enough to give me a partial refund.

Also, here in EU, amazon recently reduced their return window, from 30 days to 14 days after receiving, so some limits are being put in place, because some of my friends order a lot of things to make unboxing videos/tiktok and other crap and then return it, which is real waste.

Show HN: Ayin – An open-source photo editing software
Hello HN, I'm Fares A. Bakhit a junior CS student at Cairo University and I'm happy to announce my latest project,

"Ayin" is an open-source photo editing software available on Windows, Linux, and MacOS (Only a Windows build is available now on GitHub but you can compile it yourself to other platforms) with an interactive real-time graphical user interface.

Feel free to use and study the source code of Ayin, it's available on GitHub under the GPLv3 open-source license.

I've made this project in part of the Winged Dragon Competition at the Faculty of Computers and Artificial Intelligence (FCAI-CU) Cairo University.

I've used ImGui, SDL2, and OpenGL (for image rendering, not processing)

A showcase video in Arabic is available, showing the functionalities of Ayin: https://youtu.be/ogkteQkJb0I

Any feedback is much appreciated, thank you!

Despite the terminology, "ingrown" doesn't mean the nail grows in the wrong direction. The lunula continuously emits keratinocytes in a single direction; these form both the nail bed and the nail itself.

The "ingrown" phenomenon occurs well after the nail has formed (it's getting pushed out from the lunula end) and is due to a combination of your toe's (hallux I assume) ideosyncratic geometry and environmental conditions, likely, as another commenter pointed out, how you innocently cut your nail.

Sorry for the pedantry but when I worked in drug development I used to research the nail unit, which, it turns out, few people do.

The parameters and the license. Mistral uses Apache 2.0, a neatly permissive open source license. As such, it's an open source model.

Models are similar to code you might run on a compiled vm or native operating system. Llama.cpp is to a model as Python is to a python script. The license lays out the rights and responsibilities of the users of the software, or the model, in this case. The training data, process, pipeline to build the model in the first place is a distinct and separate thing from the models themselves. It'd be nice if those were open, too, but when dealing with just the model:

If it uses an OSI recognized open source license, it is an open source model.
If it doesn't use an OSI recognized open source license, it's not.

Llama is not open source. It's corporate freeware.

Not even BigTech.

Even medium sized startups can pay a $500k TC for someone with a decade+ of experience (how else do you see so many L5 Engineers turned EMs or Tech Leads at startups after a bad review cycle)
This is not good news, this means that we could end up with a dangerously superintelligent AI just by scaling up the number of parameters, without increasing the amount of training data.
No tongue in cheek.
insects are so different from vertebrates (e.g. multi compartment bodies thanks to how they express the HOX gene) that the flying strategies are also quite different.

At the current level of O2 in the air I don't believe that flying insects can grow as large as even a hummingbird, much less an eagle.
My understanding is that insurance companies have fixed profit margins by law— essentially a cost plus model (just like California power companies). So Why don't health insurers wan't the least healthy and most expensive general population in the long run?
> It would help tremendously if the US changed the rules and made it so most people got insurance directly and not through their employer.

This seriously needs to happen. Before we can have ANY other reform, this needs to happen.

TSMC expects to survive as a corporation by diversifying the locations of their manufacturing. The cost of a product against amortization cost of new facilities will be higher no doubt. But the ability to source similar cost automation and resources is likely the same.

>Although China has never made a full-blown attempt to seize Taiwan and dismantle its rival once and for all, fears of a Chinese invasion have increased in recent years, especially since Taiwan became an extremely important strategic asset thanks to TSMC's cutting-edge fabs.

Taiwan inevitably falls. Diversification out of taiwan and divestment of china toward smic will make taiwan's value to defend ever decreasing.

Personally I don't paste anything. I ask for code examples that demonstrate what I want, and then I adapt it to my needs. It's definitely less powerful than directly sharing code, but it is what it is.

I also run a personal language model server, but that is far less capable than the models available as services. It can still be better than nothing for code O can't share with APIs.

I also use gpt.el a but for editor integration, but I honestly haven't workeded that into my workflow very much yet.
