Affiliate links to professional tools or paint in a decoration/woodwork blog goes a long way. Probably if you're big you might want stuff a bit more complex, but for hacker it's quite good.

The electronic blog I follow only have affiliate links as ads, and they seems to do quite well.

Emergent Abilities of Large Language Models

Scaling up language models has been shown to predictably improve performance and sample efficiency on a wide range of downstream tasks. This paper instead discusses an unpredictable phenomenon that we refer to as emergent abilities of large language models. We consider an ability to be emergent if it is not present in smaller models but is present in larger models. Thus, emergent abilities cannot be predicted simply by extrapolating the performance of smaller models. The existence of such emergence implies that additional scaling could further expand the range of capabilities of language models.

Show HN: Minard – Generate beautiful charts with natural language
Hi HN – Excited to share a beta for Minard, a new data visualization toolkit we've been working on that lets you generate publication-quality charts with simple natural language (throw away your matplotlib docs and rejoice!).

Upload or import CSVs, Excel, and JSON, give it a spin, and please let us know what you think! (Long format data works best for now)

For those curious, the stack is a simple Django app with HTMX/Alpine and all of the charts are specified and rendered as Vega (https://vega.github.io/vega/). Lots of LLM function calling under the hood as well.
It's been feeling much faster recently with the AI and Edge and so on. Maybe I'm just getting grumpier as I age.
> Taiwan is Chinese territory.

Taiwan can be a Chinese territory only according to the law "might is right".

For millenia, Taiwan has not been a Chinese territory.

Only during the last few centuries there has been a massive migration of Fujian Chinese into Taiwan that has altered its population.

Then after WWII Taiwan has been invaded by the Kuomintang, which has altered again the population of the island, so that now the non-Chinese native inhabitants have remained just a small minority.

Taiwan has been officially a territory belonging to mainland China only between 1683 and 1895, which is a rather weak basis for claiming that Taiwan is a Chinese territory, not much better than claiming that Alaska is a Russian territory.
Yup, sure did. Just like I check with HR when I pass notes to my self on Slack where I'm the only member
The world at large seems to hate Zuck but it’s good to hear from people familiar with software engineering and who understand just how significant his contributions to open source and raising salaries have been through Facebook and now Meta.
I thought the same, but then, after a few pages, was this:

> If, hypothetically, all these cables were to simultaneously break, modern civilization would cease to function. The financial system would immediately freeze. Currency trading would stop; stock exchanges would close. Banks and governments would be unable to move funds between countries because the Swift and US interbank systems both rely on submarine cables to settle over $10 trillion in transactions each day. In large swaths of the world, people would discover their credit cards no longer worked and ATMs would dispense no cash. As US Federal Reserve staff director Steve Malphrus said at a 2009 cable security conference, “When communications networks go down, the financial services sector does not grind to a halt. It snaps to a halt.”

> Corporations would lose the ability to coordinate overseas manufacturing and logistics. Seemingly local institutions would be paralyzed as outsourced accounting, personnel, and customer service departments went dark. Governments, which rely on the same cables as everyone else for the vast majority of their communications, would be largely cut off from their overseas outposts and each other. Satellites would not be able to pick up even half a percent of the traffic. Contemplating the prospect of a mass cable cut to the UK, then-MP Rishi Sunak concluded, “Short of nuclear or biological warfare, it is difficult to think of a threat that could be more justifiably described as existential.”

You could still argue with "the world's most important" claim, but this makes it clear that it is at least somewhat defensible.
It’s an interesting perspective for the LSEG to say (paraphrasing) “we maintain a sensitive database that we gave to a third party (presumably with some amount of vetting, since the data is sensitive) and that third party did not adequately secure it, therefore this is not a security lapse on our part”

I’m not sure if I buy it.
Waiting a couple weeks makes sure you have enough context to usefully contribute with less stepping on toes.
Definitely not. Here's 300+ LLMs without derivatives:

Detecting a fake profile is a very hard problem and in a very different domain than LLMs. What makes it so difficult is goal to minimize false positives, ideally you do not want to delete profiles of genuine users.

Meta has said in the past that their ML models observe how users use their platform like FB to detect is they are bots. Another challenge is that most spammers that slip through these AI systems are not always automated bots like you see on Twitter, there are sometimes paid humans behind these accounts.

The sheer scale of this problem is astounding, this stat is from 2019 (https://phys.org/news/2019-05-fake-facebook-accounts-never-e...). Even if 0.01% of these slip through then it becomes very visible.

> Facebook said this week it "disabled" 1.2 billion fake accounts in the last three months of 2018 and 2.19 billion in the first quarter of 2019.
Mistral is not “open source” either since we cannot reproduce it (the training data is not published). Both are open weight models, and they are both released under a license whose legal basis is unclear: it's not actually clear if they own any intellectual property over the model at all. Of course they claim such IP, but no court has ruled on this yet AFAIK and legislators could also enact laws that make these public domain altogether.
For sure. I just started watching the new Dwarkesh interview with Zuck that was just released ( https://t.co/f4h7ko0M7q ) and you can just tell from the first few minutes that he simply has a different level of enthusiasm and passion and level of engagement than 99% of big tech CEOs.
Yes it's very confusingly worded.

"->Should do ...

Not sure why they worded it that way, maybe adults with busy schedules engage less with _ per day than _ per week recommendations.
Where were you in Australia? And what sort of gambling machines are we talking about?

> The laws regulating the use of gaming machines in Australia are a matter for state governments, and as such they vary between states. Gaming machines are found in casinos (approximately one in each major city) as well as pubs and clubs in some states (usually sports, social, or RSL clubs).

I echo some of the thoughts in this thread. In this type of competitive job market, it’s hard to stand out. The cheat code is internal referrals from friends and colleagues.

Stay positive and keep studying and preparing yourself for when the opportunity strikes. There are lots of people in similar situations.

I also would recommend not taking any job if you are able to be selective. You want something that won’t burn you out in 6 months.

They just did a documentary on the bank robbery, and as you watch it you get "Stockholm Syndrome," too. The West is just addicted to narratives of mind control and bewitchment, and people are easily convinced that any deviation from the designated norm is the result of evil forces taking control of people's wills through mysterious methods.

Africa has a very similar problem. Where Anglo-Europeans think that all deviant behavior is caused by mind control (by demons, Jews, Russians, alcohol, marijuana, the Chinese, Cambridge Analytics, etc.), large parts of Africa believe that all illness is the result of curses. When somebody gets sick and dies, they start looking for witches to kill.
The top donor states do vote blue, but I'm not certain this is a causal factor in the strength of their economy. The consistent donor states of Texas, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and California have all had strong economies for the last century regardless of who has been in power.
Interesting, the 8B model was trained for 1.3M hours, while the 70B for 6.4M hours at 700W. Assuming $0.05/kWh (WA price) it's $46k and $224k. Even allowing for cooling, CPUs, and more expensive power wherever they are running this, still well less than $1M in power. I somehow thought it would be much more.

The nVidia bill is another matter - assuming 5 year amortization and $45k H100, it works out $1/h, so $8M or so.
Or you could just go to the Daily WTF: https://thedailywtf.com
This one is a bit more reasonable (to me at least). It seems to be an internet/texting convention that messages ending with a period are more formal/serious or potentially angry/irritated, whereas messages without a period are lighter/more fun. As an example:

“Have you taken the dog out?”

“Yes”

Vs

“Have you taken the dog out?”

“Yes.”

The second comes across as the responder being potentially irritated at the asker. I believe that this comes down to the amount of effort required to type the reply; adding a period is making the explicit choice to do so, whereas not doing so is the default. This isn’t the case for sentences in the middle of a multi-sentence answer, since a separator is needed anyways. But I find myself not adding a period even at the end of multi-sentence messages, and I automatically read any message ending with a period with a different tone than one which does not.

Maybe I’m just nuts though, that’s always an option. But with text being such a relatively limited medium for conveying emotion in short messages, I think this is a reasonable solution.
Why would natural selection require creative power? It doesn't require any intelligence at all -- just a harsh environment that makes it more difficult for less effective / efficient random iterations to survive. Then multiply that by hundreds of millions of iterations.

Dismissing a feature as leftover isn't the fault of evolution -- it's a fault of the scientist. There should at least be a potential former use identified. But that doesn't make evolution less viable.

Hell, even Perfect Dark before that. I'm not one to defend Halo as the most-innovative, especially with the disproportionate amount of funding and manpower that went into it.

That being said, I think Halo deserves commendation for bringing a lot to the mainstream without compromise. The same people that casually enjoyed Halo were probably not also playing Goldeneye or Arma in their free time. And marketing be damned, Halo is fun even today. Hopping in a match of CE makes me lament how little team-based shooters have progressed in the past 20 years.
Russia is still able to continue on because of the military help from China, as US has confirmed [1]. Russia's missile barrage on Kharkiv right now is possible because of China. However, China won't be able to attack Taiwan while massively supplying Russia. And this will further drain China. When Russia is defeated, China will be scared even further about attacking Taiwan.

"Bro", race is a trivial fact to me. To you it's an ideological tenet.

Yeah, that was my thought as well. They aren't "pushing the original Xbox to the limit", they are pushing custom hardware to the limit. The title is super misleading.

That's a creative comparison I would never have come up with.

Boeing has been beaten up here for their planes, rightly so, but that mess has made itself know with Starliner as well. Since it hasn't killed anyone or gotten off the ground with people at all, it's pretty much a joke. Any time I hear of another delay, my response is "of course it is". At least they are not forcing the issues and putting astronaut lives on the line. About the only good thing I can say about that program
I wouldn't say "it didn't work well for me".

I had a great time living outside the Bay Area, but at some point you do end up missing stuff from your culture.

It's similar to how you see so many NY transplants complaining about Pizza or Italian food in SF.

It's similar for me if I'm outside the West Coast.

Asians are not homogenous, and we have extreme levels of ethnic diversity, and most cities and towns in the West can accommodate for that level of Asian diversity.

Also, at some point it gets annoying when some cities might be ethnically diverse but only show off "Italian" or "Irish" pride (looking at you Boston) despite having way larger Brazilian, Dominican, Puerto Rican, or African American populations.

If Boston, Chicago, or NYC's image is always going to be intertwined with Italian-American, Irish-American, German-American, or <insert European community>-American, I got the message. And "Chinese" or "Indian" American doesn't cut it when the difference between someone from Xian and Changsha can be massive, or someone from Kashmir and Kanyakumari.
Chat with Llama 3
I started to code my own wayland compositor:

- linux kernel, getting ready for 2MiB system memory page.

- direct ioctl DRM (which means I may need AMD GPU specific code, my developement hardware).

- dma-buf (like valve steamdeck wayland compositor).

- linux evdev (input)

- RISC-V 64bits assembly (using binutils gas and no pseudo-instructions), but running on x86_64 with a RISC-V 64bits machine code interpreter and a linux syscall translater. Using a C preprocessor (currenty tinycc one), reducing to minimum the usage of gas pre-processor. Have already partial/bootstrapping implementation of the interpreter and syscall translater.

- would use RISC-V 64bits non-ratified ZACAS synchronization emulation on x86_64. Care will be taken for synchronization primitives to allow ez swap with other synchonization primitives (once going on real RV64 hardware).

- no libc

- new executable file format (orders of magnitude simpler than ELF), but with an ELF capsule to run it transparently on any linux kernels (the glibc/musl/etc elf loaders should be able to load in the ELF capsule directly too). Have minimal/partial/bootstraping linkers (ELF objects from compilers/assemblers x86_64/rv64) already (can handle some C code from cproc/qbe toolchain).

- probably basic window stacking in the first place, one seat.

- may copy some code from mesa for vulkan3D like hardware acceleration (for AMD GPUs) but may use rv64 "custom" machine instructions to run x86_64 accelerated CPU rendering. Will have to go for affero Lesser GPL for licence to fit with MIT licence without issues.

- still dunno if I go inotify on /dev/input or kernel events for dynamic management of input devices (any advice anyone?).

I dunno if I'll be able to get something working, and that in a reasonable amount of time. And if IRL gets annoying, may have to drop it, of course.

Yes, I am greedy.

It's an interesting book and definitely trains you to keep an eye on the relationships between different ingredients. And especially the continua between different foods made of the same things in different ratios.

Unfortunately a lot of the recipes in that book are not very good! When settling the ratios he prioritized small, clean numbers to make the relationships clear. But those aren't guaranteed to be an optimal recipe. It's simply more likely that the best custard for example is 28:15 or 11:5 or whatever than it is precisely 2:1. Ditto every single thing in the book.

It is a good starting point for learning how baked goods work, developing intuition for how changing ingredients influence the final product. Virtually none of them are excellent ratios though.

Wonder if raising voltages would not be an alternative as well. Power lines dissipate heat as R*I², so higher tensions help transmit more power with less current, and less dissipation as well. It would be great if this allowed us to totally replace scarce copper with more abundant aluminium or at least use thinner wires that demand less raw materials, given scarce metals like copper are a bottleneck in energy transition.

>There is nothing "inevitable" about Taiwan falling.

Obviously I dont own a crystal ball and cannot predict the future but I stand by the prediction.

> China would have to take an inexperienced military and accomplish one of the hardest things imaginable, an amphibious invasion that can only happen in narrow time windows at handful of spots on an island that consists mostly of mountains, jungle and dense urban areas.

Oh for sure you're correct about the technical skill levels of the military, the losses will mount to insane levels. But they kind of need to drastically reduce their incel population.

https://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/2020/february/chi...

Their amphibious invasion fleet is literally being built right now. Confirmed via satellite imagery. They arent building these during an economic depression just for laughs.

>It's so hard a task that in World War II the Allied forces (with a ton more experience, and a far more favorable balance of power, chose to invade Okinawa instead, where the US "only" suffered forty eight thousand battlefield casualties. This was still a lot less than the projected causalities of attacking a ridiculously underdefended Taiwan.

Technology has greatly improved in the last 75 years. Lets not forget airborne as well.

Remember, Taiwan has no military alliances. Taiwan's total population is around 25 million.

China's PLA strength is probably in the 10 million or so area and I would never assert they are inexperienced. If we're talking inexperience, the incels they wish to shed, we're probably talking 100 million strength. Taiwan has literally no chance of defending against this.

>The reason for TSMC to diversify is that Xi might be foolish enough to try this, and erratic and isolationist politicians in the US might fail to deter him. Taiwan doesn't have to fall for TSMC to gravely harm TSMC and the global economy, they merely have to start a war.

The USA has withdrawn. TSMC makes up about 50% of the reasons, but realistically this isn't really about their economic strengths. This is about a unified china and Xi making the history books for a long time.
It's not quite an employer/employee relationship, just a partnership. So this is kind of like starting your own video streaming website while being a Twitch Partner. I don't know if the T&C prohibit that, but they would probably be difficult to enforce.
