Then he isn't rich, powerful and an unethical asshole.

People can be rich and try to do the right thing even if there seems to be no direct economic incentive to do so — and I applaud them if they do realize that money alone doesn't create a meaningful life. Yet I don't need to wonder whether a normal tax rate on billionaires would do even more for the libraries.

They start with a large cardinal assumption which is the usual workaround - you have a proof that this theory is consistent if a large cardinal like that exists, which is something you can't prove within the theory.
That’s true, but many Japanese terms for describing the modern world were mass-imported into Chinese during the late Qing and Republican eras (think 1900-1930).

The Chinese republicans looked towards Japan as a model for how to develop, and part of that was importing new lexicon wholesale, since Japanese scolars had already helpfully transliterated Western concepts into new compounds during the Meiji era.

I find that the level of hype is very correlated to how much the author is involved in making his own LLM chatbot based products, which is not surprising.

Interesting idea with ragdoll, but I'd hate to try to compete with Tavern/Pygmalion cards + Lorebooks, seems like there is a critical mass there already for RP chatbots.
Yes. It's awful.

For people who want labels for homemade bottled products, and who don’t want to make or buy a plotter, milk labels are pretty great. You print on plain paper (important: with a laser printer), cut to shape, dip in a shallow pan of milk, apply the paper to the bottle and ease out any wrinkles, then press gently on it with a paper towel.

When it dries, it stays on really well (unless it gets wet), and it comes off super easily for reusing the bottle (just get it wet).

Ask HN: What if AI won't replace anyone – then is it cool?
This community seems somewhat divided on AI ethics, I wanted to clarify, so the question is simple:

If it turns out that AI is not capable enough to replace anyone - not artists or developers, not customer service, not doctors or lawyers - but has the capacity to transform our work and process such that we produce significantly better outputs and deliverables, is it still a threat?

> It samples from creators without their permission

What if it's deemed that studying moves is not the same as flipping material? Or if lines are drawn that clarify what copyright is/isn't?

What if guardrails are implementable so it doesn't?

> It could kill the world

What if there's no evidence or any possible technical route for this to even be close to possible let alone likely?

Does it change your opinion?

Maybe because when I started fiddling with computers (around 2009), I only got like 1 or 2 hours of internet connection (cybercafes), so I had to find books and other types of offline information, I’ve never relied on Google Search or others that much. Even today, I treat them more like a bookmark database. If I can’t remember some specific terms to get to the page I need, I don’t even bother searching for it.

I’ve also started to hoard a stash of links and pdfs. And I have Dash for languages and framework documentation. Too many SEO farms for Python and HTML/CSS/JS.
Try shifting it down: Another thing that can happen in 3 dimensional space but not 2 is that you can have two infinitely long rectangles which only intersect as a line at the origin (and nowhere else.) In 2 dimensions you'd get at least an overlapping quadrilateral in the intersection. (That doesn't imply I grasp it in 4.. ha)

Show HN: FutureSearch – answer hard questions like "Who will buy TikTok US?"
Now that the TikTok ban is on its way to Biden’s desk, you may ask: “Will ByteDance get this overturned in court?” “How much is TikTok US worth?” “Will Oracle and Walmart bid again?”

Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, etc. have almost nothing to say on questions like these that involve judgment, uncertainty, modeling, and in-depth research. (Try it for yourself.)

FutureSearch draws on the fact that professional forecasters do surprisingly well on such questions. We’ve worked with many of them over the years, and we’ve built their research workflows with LLMs and agent loops.

Here's what FutureSearch found:

- Biden will sign the bill (>95%)

- The Commerce Secretary will start the 12 month clock (>95%)

- TikTok will challenge the ruling (>95%), which may delay the clock starting to delist or divest, but they are unlikely to win (20%)

- And if they lose, they will succeed in selling to a US company (75%)

- The sale will be for $30-50B (CI 50%), assuming it does not include certain ByteDance IP

- Walmart and Oracle won’t compete to buy it this time. Microsoft or Amazon are the top contenders, along with a consortium led by Susquehanna or Steven Mnuchin, possibly in partnership with Snap or X.

FutureSearch justifies its stats and cites its facts. For example, the 75% chance that TikTok will sell if forced to comes from checking outcomes of the most similar events, notably Grindr in 2019 which did lead to a sale: https://app.futuresearch.ai/forecasts/ZYMek/public#PAST.

It searches for statements and historical actions of key people, like Steve Mnuchin, Biden, TikTok execs. That TikTok has a 20% chance to overturn this in court draws on a model where FutureSearch estimates only 13% of similar cases rule in favor of the company: https://app.futuresearch.ai/forecasts/Tn2Aa/public.

Except the reason the "in mice" meme exists is because there are countless studies which produce an effect in mice which is not reproducible in humans.

In an absence of evidence, we cannot make one claim or another. "In mice" is just a good indicator that actual human research is needed.

> It's mostly naivety. There are a lot of people who really don't understand that people are doing something without getting paid, as a side gig, just to be helpful. They just don't get it.

I think calling that naïvety brings inaccurately benign connotations. It is possible to be naïve while thinking the best of people, and understanding in good faith that everybody is probably trying. Naivety alone doesn't make somebody's default cynical and bitter.

> This uncle was just a very naive person, it's like he thought these people's entire existence was to run kids sporting events.

If you literally cannot even conceive of other people existing in any way that doesn't directly serve your own desires, I think that's less naivety, and more arrogance and entitlement.
It's always weird to see Intel using "foreign" ISAs, but not too surprising for something they acquired. The ME's use of SPARC and ARC before that is more unusual; they could've at least used a 386/486-class core, or even the i860/960 if they wanted something RISC.

I'm a big fan of the single-file Django ambition - it's the feature I most envy from frameworks like Flask and Starlette.

Jealousy, or fear of change, even. A lot of times even existing is enough to offend some types, if you or what you are doing is perceived as a challenge to what they think they already know and control.

I don't think people should get any more cynical. That's why we have this problem. The solution isn't to become more like them.

But it is absolutely vital to understand that there are those types of cynical individuals out there. That's fine. Block them out as appropriate; You don't owe them anything, and they wouldn't reciprocate anyway. Keep an eye on them and take steps to protect yourself when they start to get too opportunistic/actively sabotaging/slanderous etc.

Guessing someone fixed it up in the last few hours. As the race to replace traditional web search heats up, whoever is quicker at updating the model with RLHF or more recent facts (sometimes via real time conversations) is going to have an advantage.

The downside is that open platforms with real time human conversations face increasing pressure to monetize because of this value add. So they ban third party clients and start signing contracts.
And so the train will avoid the hassle and comfort issues of airport/airlines and you’re not screwed paying for parking (which you left out of your example for some reason).

No. Joining a union means you agree to collective action. Niche political positions wouldn't really qualify, and if pushed, would actual tear the union apart because just any many people are against as are for.

I believe it was this one: https://www.atacamadesertstargazing.com

However, it was a decade ago and I can't find any receipts. I remember they also had a couple condos you could rent on the property, but I don't see any mention on their website. Might have moved them to Airbnb, or moved exclusively to offering star tours.

Or I have the totally wrong link!

EDIT Actually!! It was this place. https://www.spaceobs.com/en/Services/Star-Tours

The site seems old and I can’t tell if they’re still actually in business. However, that’s definitely the tour. They also still have links to the place you can stay on-site, which I very much recommend if it’s still a thing: https://www.spaceobs.com/en/Atacama-Lodge

Made a time clock with ESPHome and a M5StickC. Clock in and out. Home Assistant sends the time to a Google Sheet. Super reliable.
FYI, I used a tool I develop [1] to look into this, and came to the following conclusions:

- Biden will sign the bill (>95%)

- The Commerce Secretary will start the 12 month clock (>95%)

- TikTok will challenge the ruling (>95%), which may delay the clock starting to delist or divest, but they are unlikely to win (20%)

- And if they lose, they will succeed in selling to a US company (75%)

- The sale will be for $30-50B (CI 50%), assuming it does not include certain ByteDance IP

- Walmart and Oracle won’t compete to buy it this time. Microsoft or Amazon are the top contenders, along with a consortium led by Susquehanna or Steven Mnuchin, possibly in partnership with Snap or X.

Training some NN is just matrix multiplications. Why would you need a custom silicon to take advantage of the software ?

I suspect a GPU is optimized for this operation all the way to software level. I can’t imagine apple will get performance benefits.

I tried to convince myself of that, but putting a function/operator in the same parens as the arguments and then making a special case for the first element in the parens will never make sense to me, since you can get the "expressive power" in any number of ways. Ruby makes more sense.
I'm not sure. They don't have those at my home airport, but my vague understanding is that in some situations like this, the airline is paying the TSA to staff another lane for their preferred customers. To me, this seems more reasonable. Personally, I have been annoyed by a bunch of Clear people cutting in front of me in the regular Precheck line when I was running late for a flight.

In private aviation, you pay a fairly big fee for TSA in some circumstances depending on the size of the plane, and you pay a fee for customs to come to the private terminal.

If they were in their own line paid for by the airline, I wouldn't have been annoyed, but when it's the same screening checkpoint that we both paid the same tax for, I don't see why they should be allowed to go in front of me.

Bonuses come out of the money used to pay salaries. All things being the same, any company that pays bonuses will pay a lower base salary. That being said, if you're good at convincing people of your worth, you can come out with higher than the "base" bonus, so ahead of the curve. But you're also paying more in the way of risk (lower income of the company doesn't do well, or you can't convince people you were important).
Mark Warner has gotten $343,211 from AIPAC. He cares about placating Israel, not protecting our data. If you can find a politician who says this but doesn't take money from AIPAC, I might be a little more convinced.
> The chassis [snip] specifications are pretty generally usable.

IMHO it's a bit stupid they made the OCP chassis/rack spec incompatible with the standard EIA 19" rack (Yes, there's the Open19 stuff etc., but talking about the "main" OCP racks here). If you're going to break with the established standard, at least make something substantially different with scope for significant improvement. As it is, the OCP rack design is just subtly different from the 19" to be annoying but doesn't bring any huge improvements, fracturing the market for very little benefit.

So, there's a few ways to explain it. From a business strategy level, TikTok exists, and is a threat to YouTube, so we need to compete with it.

From a user perspective, Shorts highlights a specific format of YouTube that happened to have been around for a lot longer than people realize. TikTok isn't anything new, Vine was doing exactly the same thing TikTok was a decade prior. It was shut down for what I can only assume was really dumb reasons. A lot of Viners moved to YouTube, but they had to change their creative process to fit what the YouTube algorithm valued at the time: longer videos.

Pre-Shorts, there really wasn't a good place on YouTube for short videos. Animators were getting screwed by the algorithm because you really can't do daily uploads of animation[0] and whatever you upload is going to be a few minutes max. A video essayist can rack up hundreds of thousands of hours of watch time while you get maybe a thousand.

(Fun fact: YouTube Shorts status was applied retroactively to old short videos, so there's actually Shorts that are decades old. AFAIK, some of the Petscop creator's old videos are Shorts now.)

But that's why users or creators would want to use Shorts. A lot of the UX problems with Shorts boils down to YouTube building TikTok inside of YouTube out of sheer corporate envy. To be clear, they could have used the existing player and added short-video features on top (e.g. swipe-to-skip). In fact, any Short can be opened in the standard player by just changing the URL! There's literally no difference other than a worse UI because SOMEONE wanted "launched a new YouTube vertical" on their promo packet!

FWIW the Shorts player is gradually getting its missing features back but it's still got several pain points for me. One in particular that I think exemplifies Shorts: if I watch Shorts on a portrait 1080p monitor - i.e. the perfect thing to watch vertical video on - you can't see comments. When you open the comments drawer it doesn't move over enough and the comments get cut off. The desktop experience is also really bad; occasionally scrolling just stops working, or it skips two videos per mousewheel event, or one video will just never play no matter how much I scroll back and forth.
