Oh, I see, since we were talking about science, I figured you really just meant induction, I didn't think you meant empiricism, the philosophical school of thought (in contrast to rationalism), that's my bad.

But it seems that empiricism is a view that you have to hold a priori as opposed to a posteriori. Like, how is seeing that people who don't base their actions on sensory experience evidence for true knowledge or justification primarily coming from sensory experience and empirical evidence? Seeing people who don't base their actions on all guns being loaded doing stupid things like injuring themselves or others unintentionally doesn't make it true that all guns are loaded. I think what you really want to say is that empiricism is a very intuitive idea, and that it's telling that people who deny the reliability of sensory experience do silly things. (Not that rationalists were denying the validity of sensory experience anyway, it's not like Descartes or Spinoza were denying sense-data).

Oh! I might know a little bit about this because I stumbled over something similar.

So you can transform text with CSS to be upper case (text-transform: uppercase). It turns ß to a double-S glyph as well in all browsers! Firefox now has a feature flag for it (layout.css.text-transform.uppercase-eszett.enabled). Why: Because unicode still defines it though in casing guidelines:

> # The German es-zed is special--the normal mapping is to SS.

> # Note: the titlecase should never occur in practice. It is equal to > titlecase(uppercase(<es-zed>))

> https://unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/SpecialCasing.txt

And given that ẞ only made it into German orthography in 2017 and San Francisco is release in 2014 and Mojave only 2018, I don't think it is that big of a mess-up. That they only supported it after. I bet there are loads of fonts that still don't support the character and having double-S is better than nothing.

Edit: Kind of proud how I am using css-transforms and a few more CSS hacks to get it working on my mom's website in the title: https://gutshaeuser-ostpreussen.de/gutshaus/details/gross-bl...

Edit to the Edit: Even the DIN 1451 doesn't support uppercase ẞ and e.g. the popular FF DIN (which San Francisco seems to be based on) is turning ẞ into double-S.
Sorry, 'heat' was a typo for 'hear' - air gap not to hear the neighbours, I wasn't worrying about cheap neighbours sapping up your heat, ha. (Although anecdotally, that can be huge for mid-storey flat/apartments, not completely stupid.)
A thread with 150+ upvotes and a mysterious title is at least worth a few seconds to read the top comment.
Yeah, I'm actually somewhat sympathetic to this move (and it surprises me somewhat that I feel this way). I think the only actual problem here is that the US government waited until a third to a half of the country was hooked on TikTok before taking action. The bigger issue is PR and optics, and weathering a backlash from those users when they can't use TikTok anymore.

If TikTok was an obscure app that a few hundred thousand (or even a couple million) people used, most people wouldn't think this ban would be a problem. (Granted, if it were that small, it wouldn't've provoked all this scrutiny in the first place.)

China doesn't give foreigners meaningful access to their markets (and when they do, it comes with a pile of restrictions, including on ownership structure); arguably we should not do the same. The whole "let's expose China to Western values and they'll open up and become a democracy" thing failed miserably.

Still, on a fundamental level, this all feels uncomfortable.
I'm sure that even in the UK and the US, there are secret email addresses where you can skip to the front of the queue. But I'm not gonna email my local MP or congressperson about some clerical error in my taxes. And even if I got through to a person, they'd probably tell me to call them.

I used to have multiple RPIs, and different physical servers (old PCs). I tried dockers and others because I though I was cool. Until I decided to just use one modern PC (actually a work computer that was off lease), and run docker for each of my server stack.

We'll have nice and easy support for self-hosting soon-ish.

In the meantime, everything is open-source and the infra is codified with Terraform. GCP should have the best support now. If you want to dig into it, we'd love to give you support along the road so we can improve the process.

Our infra repo [0] is a good place to start. Once you have E2B deployed, you can just change E2B_DOMAIN env var and use our SDK.

So any government can come along and tell Google to repackage a special version of the app for delivery to certain targets or a targeted population? That is seriously messed up, I hope they don't cave.
Yeah, surprised me too. There are different categories inside of Bluetooth, classic and low energy. LE has a low rate, no more than 100hz.
Ah yeah, we keep things like blender/maya models on a separate stream completely.

So you're more connected to YC than 99% of the people commenting in here, I don't think that your viewpoint can be seen as objective.
My goal in this comment is to vet Daniel Vassallo's section on ergodicity. I follow and agree with the setup:

> First, you have to understand a very important concept: in some systems, what’s best for a group is not necessarily what’s best for the individuals who make up the group. In other words, the total wealth of a group of people could be increasing, while almost everyone making up that group could be seeing their wealth diminish.

But do the following sentences follow? Do they even make sense?

> When this happens, we say we have a non-ergodic system. If the system was ergodic, what’s happening to the collective would also translate to all individuals.

I'm pretty sure these sentences don't follow. I am struggling to think of even a charitable interpretation that would make such a connection. This is not out of a lack of interest -- I would like to see a connection. I think I'm more willing than many to find such connections; I have studied EE, physics, SwEng, CompSci, economics, and more. But, alas, I see no connection -- and not even a plausible path to explore to find one.

So, after reading only this much of Mr. Vassallo's writing, my BS-detector alarm bells are ringing. I'm going to go read https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/ergodic-hierarchy/ instead.

Please let me know if I'm missing something. I am genuinely trying to be rational and open to good arguments. I admit that I'm developing a gut-level distaste for Daniel's writing, but I don't want this to unfairly bias me about a possible insight on ergodicity here.

P.S. Maybe even though Mr. Vassallo's writing is a stretch, there is a reasonable point to be made? Could someone make it succinctly without the baggage of his larger claim?

You could easily look at things like the Snowden leaks to see how well such controls end up working out. My favorite was NSA agents collecting and sharing sexual content. [1] The reason that's my favorite is not because it's the most extreme example of abuse - it's not, not by a longshot. The reason is that it really demonstrates that 'government' isn't some abstract or holistic entity. It's just a group of people, like you and I -- with the exact same vices, egos, weaknesses, and so on.

And of course this applies not only to the NSA spooks, but all the way up. You shouldn't be any more comfortable letting 'the government' spy on you, than you would be letting me spy on you. If you want another example along the same lines, spooks spying on their love interests is so common that there's a slang term for it - LOVEINT [2]. Basically, don't grant people power over other people unless it's really just completely and absolutely necessary, because it will be abused. So the benefit needs to substantially outweigh the inevitable abuses. And in this case, that obviously doesn't hold.

Yeah, it is impossible to compete against chinese / indian / kenyan slaves.

It is also hard to compete against people earning hardly enough to eat and sleep in a crowded apartment, no healthcare, even no papers. (In the US, I mean)

The problem is not regulation / deregulation. The problem is the right regulation for a few (your Musk) but wrong for the rest (your 12hrs, 16hrs, or whatever hours a day you think are fair)
"The second token, however, duplicates the input of the first one and does not receive a gradient "answer" from the very next token, only from future tokens; ..."

This formulation doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

I get the motivation here but what you're trying to implement is a working memory.

Because transformers have perfect retrospective memory within their context window any generation which can be done directly from input tokens will be.

At any given point a model might want to write to a working memory, but that does not imply that the next non-working-memory-step will supply useful information to better write to working memory in the future. The model also has to be able to decide when to compare the work done in working memory to the next token.

By allowing the model to both exempt output from gradient updates and opt back in to gradient updates, you create a meta-learning loop that could be quite flexible.
Huh.

I read most of the challenges to this ban as either explicitly championing US-colored ideals of free markets and free speech or simple personal frustration because people don't want to lose the experience of the app.

I'd expect some of the messaging gets amplified and shaped by adversarial parties, but the framing is rarely/never aligned with "anti-US" rhetoric on this topic.

Your concern sounds like a different thing than what applies to this discussion.
>in the entire 20 year lifetime of the Thunderbird project, no one has added support for a new mail protocol before.

Technically true but also every megacorp's OAuth2 out-of-band authentication implementation needs it's own special configuration (read workaround) per email client and Thunderbird has collected quite a few. These are not normal mail protocols: they're over HTTPS not IMAP or POP3 or SMTP.

This proclamation "no one has added support for a new mail protocol" is a good thing and this change is not good. Supporting proprietary setups is pragmatic and understandable but it's not good. This is only going to briefly mitigate the problems of email splintering into dozens of per-corporation variations while encouraging people to be okay with them in the long run.
I didn't mean it as a top-down thing but as an aligned goals thing. If you do this you're basically paying a 7-10% tax on everything you do, forever, without the hyper-growth to justify/offset it. It's like selling out to Hollywood and then only doing bit roles. If you do YC, you should take VC. You would be stupid not to. I mean, YC is VC, right? It's a consistency thing.

No-YC and no-VC makes sense. Yes-YC and yes-VC makes sense. Yes-YC and no-VC does not make sense.
If an alternate store can have a game emulator, could it also have e.g. an Android app emulator, which in turn could run Android app "ROMs" that aren't individually notarized?
On linux systems, I was thinking that it would be great if there was a dbus wrapper that outputs all data as json by default.

As many things are exposed on dbus (like systemd units, timers, services, etc), and busctl [0] has a --json output.
We could have a dbus-services, or dbus-timers, etc to retrieve that on dbus and emit json.
If most things were on dbus, one could have access to almost everything on the system as json directly, while talking to the underlying implementation of most cli by default.

I suppose something similar could be done on MacOS with launchctl and others (I don't know much about MacOS, though).

That seems to be a reasonably expected result of the "instruction post-training" finetuning with RLHF or otherwise. If for some reason you don't want this behavior, you can avoid this by using a model version that just has the core language modeling without that finetuning, e.g. the llama models have such a version available.

Then the teams should clearly distance themselves from each other. As long as this is not done, the teams have to accept that they are considered to be just "different tentacles of the same evil kraken" by the public.

We are working on a project for a client which functions as an analysis tool for stocks using LLMs. Ingesting 10ks, presentations, news, etc. and doing comparative analysis and other reports.

A hard problem to solve completely.

I don't disagree with the article's main sentiment. You don't always need AWS. I advocate quite a bit for self-hosting when it makes sense.

But if you're going to manage your own servers, you need to do it right. This article is a perfect example of what I've seen in the past with not doing it right. It's inconsistent, it doesn't take backup seriously, and it doesn't take availability seriously.

Postgres is installed from their repo. Caddy is installed via & managed via ansible (instead of using something like caddy-docker-proxy). Actual backends are managed via docker compose. Backups are via a hacky script instead of something maintained & that another developer will be able to find docs on like borgmatic. Nothing is thought about for making sure the database state is consistent during backups (eg barman). Monitoring is an afterthought. Firewalling isn't even mentioned.

This setup is one hardware failure away from spending days or weeks trying to recover.
Because usually when people talk of an accommodation crisis they are referring to a shortage of homes available to be used as a primary residence. It makes sense to consider holiday homes and such as contributing to this problem. Just ask anyone in Majorca for example.

Sometimes people refer to underutilised properties rather than vacant properties for this reason.

I am very interested to know what happens to the proportion of underutilised properties during an accommodation crisis. The most recent linked chart in this thread is very interesting - what caused the steep increase leading up to the GFC (i.e. during a boom - often associated with a 'shortage')?
