It’s from China. The base model is 1,600 and is not terribly impressive in terms of payload carrying capacity (few kilos).

The higher end one from the same maker can carry 12kg of stuff.
Llama3 Performance Cost Benchmark
I spent the last few days testing Llama3 on different GPUs, to find the cheapest cost per token. Spoiler: it's the Nvidia L4, surprisingly.
The AI for the video is pretty bad, a lot of the same picture but the idea is great. What are you using for the video?
Anytime you read an article about a study, it is worth taking the article's claims with a large grain of salt.

This article at least provides a link to the full text of the study paper in the opening line.
The study was on a few emulsifiers used as food additives, not on all food emulsifiers. I wonder if egg yolks are correlated to increased diabetes risk, they're a common emulsifier (in mayonnaise, hollandaise, carbonara, custard, etc.)

> Gun manufacturers somehow don't get sued into oblivion for how their products are used.

Intentional liability shields have been legally enshrined for arms manufacturers (and for good reason.)

> well-regulated militia

Can you please never repeat this line of reasoning again? This is well-settled jurisprudence, the most anti-2A SCOTUS Justices over the last 30 years unanimously agree individual arms ownership is a right (Caetano v Massachusetts), this fact is not in dispute: "well-regulated" means "in good working order," not "restricted."

Constitutionally-enshrined rights don't change because the English language happens to evolve in 200 years.
LLMs such as ChatGPT are very useful to craft or explain command lines for you. It doesn't replace knowing the tools and reading the man pages, but great to get started.
Co-founder of Anytype is here [1]. Excited to share the multi-player release is live!

Last time I shared how Anytype can be used to build encrypted, local-first spaces around your interests [2]. Today, these spaces can be shared and co-created together: with your family members, small communities, teams, neighbors and people with similar interests. Examples: https://gallery.any.coop/Collaboration.

When we were testing collaboration internally for the first time, it felt like magic - we as a team were editing the same page, even after switching off the Internet - changes happened in an instant and all of them were synced via wi-fi.

Unlike cloud applications, in Anytype the encryption keys are stored locally, so only creators have access to them, so they own the space with its data and social graph. Every change is cryptographically signed, spaces can be created offline and can sync in peer to peer ways in local networks. This is enabled by open source protocol AnySync that supports high-performant collaboration over encrypted data and creators’ controlled keys. All our code is open on Github - https://github.com/anyproto/any-sync.

This first version of collaboration is very basic - it’s an alpha. It’s far from polished. We will focus on making it complete by adding notifications, public spaces, comments, and many other essential features in the coming months.

Why we’ve built it? Why anytype is the way it is?
WIth every architectural choice we aim to make fundamental digital freedoms unconditional. Here you can read more about why - cloud vs. local first Internet [2].

JSDoc provides the exact same level of type safety as TypeScript, because the TypeScript Language Server/CLI themselves are what does the type checking. Using JSDoc removes the need to transpile your code before executing it. You still want to type-check your code (with a `tsc --noEmit` or similar) in CI, just like you'd run unit tests/a linter/etc.
Huh, maybe they took them out. And yeah that's the classic, those blocked lanes were a constant danger when I used to bike to work.
this is kind of a strange design. in order to support this we build an external model of the database for all potentially conflicting state. wouldn't it be easier to make a redis lookalike that supported high isolation levels?
My tastes have changed a lot but I still do gaming. Now I'm playing Minecraft with my kids and I have a server where a bunch of their friends can join in and build stuff. I'm not interested in Minecraft for it's own sake but as a social club it's great fun. I also tinker with maps and mods for Quake and Doom. Doom was the first PC game I played - on a demo machine at Radio Shack at 7 years old. I don't play the same way but using the engines as a sandbox to create something still holds my interest.
Does this actually work? I tried using flame once on a 0F day but it barely made a dent. The heat content of water is staggeringly high.
It's compatible with Redis cluster mode only, which is not always supported.

Nothing about this idea makes any sense at all. Classic Musk moment.

This is basically the same thing as websites running crypto miners in the background, just for cars.

I wonder how he comes up with this stuff.
I'm confused - it seems like every example you give here supports the theoretical conclusion above.

"Black" as used in the editorial above is a very specific usage - replacing "African American" for the critical reasons outlined. The reason this group is unique as an ethnicity w.r.t. recategorization is because the structure and violence of slavery isolated them from historic ethnicities and forcefully regrouped them under a new one. This is why in that Habecker paper, peoples with dark skin and african heritage who were not part of that system try to separate themselves from that identity - that's why it exists!

I'd also argue that "Asian" probably _shouldn't_ be capitalized, and there are some theorists who agree. Really, asian only really exists as an ethnic category because Americans historically (and even now) couldn't really be assed to learn the basic geography of Asia and grouped it all.
Well, sure, that's the HN answer, and that's what I would do, but not everybody is as technically inclined to just jump in and build their own thing.

It is all defined in TFA:

https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/01/29/2024-01...

The TL;DR is that it can be whatever the provider wants, as long as it:

* includes name, address, email, phone number, IP address, and payment information,

* is written down,

* gives them a "reasonable belief that it knows the true identity of each customer"

* and "a sound basis to verify the true identity of their customer and beneficial owners and reflect reasonable due diligence efforts".
I didn't say that. I said that AI is capable of sometimes exceeding human artists. That is not the same thing as saying AI is exceeding the best human artist. If your training material is of high quality it's shouldn't be impossible to exceed human artists some or even most times, i.e. Produce better material then the average or good artists.

Commenting on downvotes is pointless, and it's even more pointless the earlier in a comment's life you do it.

I've seen wild swings in comments before based upon the time of day. E.g. mid-day upvotes, late day downvotes. Or vice versa.
This is a great idea! Solves all the problems with GCP and AWS and uses existing idle compute so it's great for the environment. Can see this genius idea being a trillion dollar segment for Tesla not sure why it only went up 15% after he announced this. Too many investors with Elon Derangement Syndrome I guess
really interesting direction! my company, assembled, builds software for customer support teams. i could imagine being on either end of this. on the one hand, we've built applications to run in the curated zendesk/salesforce sandbox. on the other hand, we get tons of requests to incorporate custom workflows or metrics natively in our application.
What is the mistake that parent has made?
It's the same pattern over and over - they develop a technology, acknowledge the risk of it being abused and the need for safeguards, but then realize that building in those safeguards will get in the way of turning it into a product and just YOLO release it into the wild anyway. The same thing happened with LLMs, which were deemed "too dangerous to release" due to the risk of producing a massive tidal wave of spam and propaganda, and yet here we are under a massive tidal wave of LLM spam and about to head into the first US election in the unrestricted LLM era. The very first paper on image generation diffusion models called out the risk of it being used for malicious purposes, such as deepfake nudes, and yet here we are in the era of one-click zero-effort deepfake nude generation services using that very technology.

What's the point of considering potential abuses if you're just going to facilitate them regardless? If anything that's worse than not considering abuse at all, because it implies that you know what you've created will result in kids killing themselves after fake nudes of them spread around their school, or enable rampant fraud and extortion through voice cloning, but you believe that's just the price of progress.
The U.S. funded and actively supported Saddam. We don’t mind trading with and funding dictators so long as they are our dictator. That said, the IRGC deserves to be eliminated and it is OK to sanction Iran.

Communities should not be put at risk because some Americans want to cosplay as action movie heroes. What makes you think that flamethrowers of all things are going to be used responsibly?
No, that effectively syncs all warps in a thread group. This implementation isn't doing any synchronization, it's independently doing PC/decode for different instructions, and just assuming they won't diverge. That's... a baffling combination of decisions; why do independent PC/decode if they're not to diverge? It reads as a very basic lack of ability to understand the core fundamental value of a GPU. And this isn't a secret GPU architecture thing. Here's a slide deck from 2009 going over the actual high-level architecture of a GPU. Notice how fetch/decode are shared between threads.

Even if it was GPL you wouldn't be entitled to the source since it lives behind a managed service.
There could be a requirement that app store listed apps need to include some sort of audio watermark. While that wouldn't be perfect, since there will always be ways around it, this would still raise the barrier significantly and cut down on much of the abuse.

Most criminals are lazy and/or not very tech savvy. Raising barriers and prosecuting the worst offenders cuts down on all sorts of malicious behavior that is technically feasible.
I think it's fair for a state prone to catastrophic wildfires to have some limits on flamethrowers
An overlooked game-changing use case of LLMs for software developers
I think the fact that Apple has refused to unlock iPhone bootloaders for over a decade suggests that they can't naturally compel hardware upgrades without artificially depreciating software.
If I want to do a voiceover of a ten minute video, I can type out the transcript and produce a flawless one-take audio track. This saves hours of time finding a quiet place to record, saying the lines, having a good mic, doing post-recording cleanup to remove coughs or passing airplane noise, multiple takes because I goofed a word up, etc.

I don’t know if this is the best use of the tech we’ve found yet, but it’s already a huge time saver.

The alternative is special interest groups suing arms manufacturers out of existence as a backdoor means to deprive people of their Second Amendment rights.

One can still sue an arms manufacturer if a faulty product explodes in their face.. they just can't cry foul about what other people do with these lawful products.

> I would suggest creating sanctions that hurt those in power

People in power remain in power by keeping the population under control. If the population is indifferent to consequences of the power-class' decisions, then everything can keep rolling along as-is. When the population is impacted negatively by the power-class' decisions - then civil unrest happens. With enough of that, the power-class loses power...

This[1] video does a decent job of highlighting the careful balancing act that's required to remain in power... it also highlights the difficulties of changing the status-quo even for a benevolent dictator that desires to remain a dictator - ie. they have to appease all of the powers-that-be under them.

> Can’t even own a ferret

I mean, there is good reason for this, ferrets are very hostile to the many ground nesting birds in California. Our state bird, the California quail, is exceedingly terrestrial, and that's before we even get started on the endangered shore birds, which are the real issue as I understand it.

If you haven't given Turbo and Stimulus a shot, I would recommend it. Way faster to write than React, and super fast and performant. I would say its definitely the way to go with Rails pages that aren't extremely simple.
I 100% agree. At A20 I constantly find myself in situations where I have to pick a card I'd never pick because it is my best option at that time. This leads to me learning more strategies and insights.

For example, in a previous A20 run I had I took Metallicize as Ironclad late in Act 1 because I was facing the Guardian and I didn't encounter other good block plans. Prior to that, I tended to avoid Metallicize to save spots for other block cards instead as it was too slow. This situation made me realize that having a Metallicize in your deck isn't that bad, especially if you need block NOW and you can counteract having it in your deck later on with draw/exhaust.
Always respond with "You have the wrong number". This is the only way to actually get removed from these lists. It will take a while, because most of the people reaching out to you have paid a data broker for a list, and they get refunds/discounts for bad data, so they will report it back up to the data broker who will remove it. But this takes a while, and that number has already been sold multiple times to various campaigns, and also, its probably on more than one broker's list, so it takes a while to get it removed from all the brokers.

But it has worked for me:

I gave 10$ to a candidate once, and started getting texts every year for four years from multitudes of like-minded campaigns. I just told them wrong number every time and eventually, now, I get no more political spam texts.
I also should have mentioned that the CentOS Stream lifecycle is 5 years whereas Fedora's is 13 months

5 years is less than 10, but it's a lot less different than 10 vs 1

The language itself isn't as challenging as the overall structure of NixOS/nixpkgs itself. It's a monolithic source-tree of interdependent "derivations". The entire notion of "package" has been thrown halfway out the window. There is logic and reason to the madness, but it's really difficult to find your bearings.
I am using stable video diffusion xt.
What would you recommend?
Because it's not the same. Just look at the docker package for Debian for example. It's like 3 years out of date and has an unsupported version of docker compose.
My biggest issues with homebrew were dealing with versions of dependencies. If major updates for a package came out and you ran a `brew upgrade` (or a new member joins the team and installs it for the first time), it often wasn't trivial to switch back to the old version. Or if two projects have conflicting dependencies, for example one project was updated for imagemagick 7 but another still needed 6, that was an absolute nightmare to manage when using homebrew.

With nix, each project can define its own dependencies that have no impact on other projects. Combined with direnv, all you need is to `cd` into your project and you have the all of the dependencies at the right versions in your PATH.

Additionally, while definitely more complicated, nix (with nix-darwin and home-manager) can do way more than homebrew does. You can declaratively define pretty much the entire configuration for your machine.

I got a new Mac last week and with just a `git clone` and a few commands I had all my CLI tools installed, dotfiles setup, desktop apps installed, and even all of my macOS system settings configured.

But they do see the mismanagement and still want it to be better. Sure having a higher stock price is good, but an even higher one would be better.

>Banking is the first industry where I encountered KYC, and it strikes me as being obviously good there.

This is not obvious to me as my experience has been largely negative post-KYC/9-11 vs pre-KYC/9-11. I am a legal law abiding citizen [and voter!] and it's just added extra hassle on various occasions and then the background anxiety of knowing an institution with crappy security track records hold a photocopy of my ID. And yet all the things KYC was supposed to prevent still continue unabated: money laundering, terrorist financing, identity theft, and financial fraud.

I'm curious to hear why you think it's obviously good and if you were using these services before KYC.
Thanks. Yes, you're right, sometimes "treadmill" is used pejoratively to describe forced upgrades that otherwise would be unnecessary. I was referring to the fact that we are all voluntarily installing security updates and/or improved versions of the software we use, year after year.
Personally, the existence of a car infotainment system is a disincentive for me to buy the car. I certainly won't use it, and would prefer not to pay for it.

If that system is required in order to control a car's functionality (windshield wipers, etc.), then its existence is not just a disincentive, but a dealbreaker.
I don't think #2 as an argument "just relies on stretching questionable analogies". I think the point of this argument is that you have to consider the prior and correct for it.

If I do a scientific experiment and reach a conclusion and that someone says that past experiment observed the same thing but it would have been wrong to conclude what I've concluded, it is not a "stretch to a questionable analogy", it is just showing that I cannot jump to that conclusion so easily.

As I've said in another comment, for me, one missing thing is: for every technology, there are "incorrect worriers". The question is: where are they for AI? Even if the worry is real, you will have people who are worrying without good reason. You will have a "background noise".

I see few differences between the AI dangers and the climate crisis. One of them is that the climate crisis is not coming from a new technology hype. It's not like we had a "Pollution bubble" with people explaining how the pollution will be transformative to our society and two weeks later, people raising concerns. What happened with the climate crisis was extremely slow, and therefore cannot be explained by people fantasizing on hypothetical impacts of a new technology. Another difference is that the danger of an intelligent AI are raised by a lot of people, but a big part of them appears to have similar ideological biases on how they view the world. Some people working in the field who tend to also not have the same view are raising different concerns (for example saying that AGI is still very far away and maybe not even reachable and that bad usage of current AI is more worrying) that seems less influenced by a very specific and peculiar way of seeing the world.
It's also due to the unique conditions under which the Black identity was formed - that is forced colocation, separation from history, and systemic coidentification. Anyone who traces their history back to slavery, which many Black Americans can, basically has to stop there creating one pretty large "sub-group".

There's a case to be made - and some theorists do - that black and Black are different identities in America, the second directly corresponding to that shared loss of history.
