From the executive order (Executive Order 14110) it seems to affect only massive compute infrastructure:

> (i) any model that was trained using a quantity of computing power greater than 10^26 integer or floating-point operations, or using primarily biological sequence data and using a quantity of computing power greater than 10^23 integer or floating-point operations; and

> (ii) any computing cluster that has a set of machines physically co-located in a single datacenter, transitively connected by data center networking of over 100 Gbit/s, and having a theoretical maximum computing capacity of 10^20 integer or floating-point operations per second for training AI.

Keep in mind that most consumer graphics cards are in the _teraflops_ range, which is 10^12. It's hard to imagine this affecting the average person, it seems that they are specifying KYC for people using clusters with thousands or tens of thousands of cards.
They also appear to be banning the country, not the people. People cannot play from Iran, but Iranians apparently remain free to play the game while outside the country. That suggests it is something to do with the provision of network services to Iran IPs rather than anything about the game itself being/sold used by Iranians.

This study suggests the opposite.

The way I see it is rather:

The past has shown that for each technology, there were "worriers". Imagine a distribution graph with the x-axis being the scale from "very worried" to "confident in the future". For each technology, there is a bell-shape distribution. So, for this technology, such distribution has to exist. The question is: where are the natural worriers? can you point to them? Because if you cannot distinguish the natural pedestal that will always exist, then it feels like you are giving credit to this pedestal rather than giving credit to real worry.

It would be very useful to see those distributions for different technologies or events and, based on the known conclusion, see if some shapes are indicating that the "worriers" are mainly the natural left-tail of the distribution.

For me, what push me to keep away from that debate and not mangle to the people interested in this subject (even if it turns out there are reason to worry) is the fact that a big part of people worried about "superintelligent AI threatening humankind" are usual quite clueless on societal dangers otherwise. They usually are supporting views close in philosophy to tech bros/bro-science, utilitarians or libertarians, which is all showing a pretty naive understanding of the complexity of society.

Yeah, I don't disagree, there are problems with it for sure. But at least for language learning in most languages, as a beginner you're probably just trying to get yourself to a B1-ish level in your target language before switching over to (easy) native content. The quirks of regional pronunciation and idioms can come later. And having some resources is better than having no resources, particularly when we're talking about languages without much in regards to learning materials. That's where a dataset like Tatoeba could be helpful for training ML models or being used as a base for learning apps like Clozemaster.

For a language like Portugese, though, you already have Assimil courses and many levels of Pimsleur, etc in both Brazilian and European dialects to get you going. There looks to even be some FSI courses, if you're coming from English. Again, I do agree that it's weird they have both European and Brazilian Portugese mixed on Tatoeba, whereas for Arabic, where many dialects are also not mutually intelligible, there are different categories. I wonder why that happened.

Absolutely. Assuming you don't crack the deck prng, you have to furcate the decision tree for every possible order of cards whenever you shuffle the deck - that quickly gets to a number of states larger than atoms in the observable universe.

This also actually modifies strategy - top player Jorbs notoriously builds massive spreadsheets to crack tough decisions on important runs and deck order is huge for that.

I used to travel weekly for years and if there was a glitch in the system, weather delays, plane maintenance, crew availability, etc it could be very exasperating to get things sorted out.

However for the first time in a few years I had to take a trip this past week on United. Our flight was boarded, the pilots found an issue and called maintenance. It was determined that the flight had to be cancelled, so all passengers had to deplane. The crew kept telling us all of us would be rebooked and would get notification via text or on the United app with next steps, we could also talk to a gate agent. It did take about 30 minutes but they did in fact give me a notification of options for other flights, I took all of one button press to select my new itinerary. Also I had paid for upgraded seats, specifically emergency aisles. As they were not available on all of my new flights they issued me a reimbursement for those costs. For those who had to stay over they paid for hotel and food.

It is never fun to have a flight cancelled on you but in my experience this was definitely one of the better "customer service" experiences I have had. Really can't complain about how they handled it which gives me hope that technology will allow them to offer better and more timely customer service going forward.
Selling stuff to dictatorships is bad, even if you make money from it.
My best guess is a copy or remake, like how Angry Birds was basically a reskin of the really common cannon-firing flash games.
This doesn't seem to affect users of internet services, though. It's just IaaS, so things like AWS. With that limited scope, what is the adverse affect of KYC laws on freedom of speech?
The fourth amendment?

Been a few decades, but I was in a similar situation and came up with a similar approach. Run the select first and then swap in an update or delete.

If the query was somewhat involved to determine what to delete, I’d write the select query to just select row IDs of rows for deletion (assuming a simple primary key), then wrap that with a “delete from table where ID in (select ID from …complex query…)”.

So far this just seems like politicians having no idea what an ISA is.

China could have just rolled a variant of x86 (most of the patents are expired), or used MIPS which is open too. And anyways, designing the ISA isn't really the hard part, it's maintaining the toolchains, the kernel patches, etc, and there's no way to stop the Chinese from just downloading those. The US can't stop China from using the RISC-V ISA any more than they can stop them from using English.

Although... if the politicians do figure out how all this works, they could try passing a law banning US open source projects (eg. the Linux Foundation, based in the US) from interacting with Chinese nationals. The justification would likely be security concerns; see: that whole XZ fiasco. If they do go in that direction, all hell will break loose in the open source world.
If I understand correctly, the SQLite library would be embedded in a sidecar processes that would run on the same machine as the app main process, instead of having the SQLite library embedded directly in the app main process? But then, what's the point of using SQLite? What makes SQLite reads and writes so fast is that it is running embedded in the app process. If you don't need that, and you want a client-server architecture, then you can simply run PostgreSQL or MySQL on the same machine, also as a sidecar process (or as a subprocess of the main process), and communicate using UNIX domain socket.
I have never heard of an ERP "rollout" going well. I have to think that those who pick them are paid off very well not to look at the dozens of horror stories that are out there.
> propose regulations requiring U.S. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) providers of IaaS products to verify the identity of their foreign customers,

Sounds like solid policy to me.
I had my children playing one of the open source Minecraft clones for a few years, but after they saw all their friends playing Minecraft, they wanted the "real thing". It's not exactly the same game, and don't discount the value of shared experience with other people. Minecraft is as much about the community that you play with, and it's hard to get people to play an open source clone that sits in this uncanny valley of looking and playing just a little bit different than Minecraft.
So this is just to make it easier to ban non-US citizens from using US IaaS (or track them).

Just don't use American IaaS in the first place. It's not like computers are available only in the US.
I totally blame the companies and VCs for lack of foresight and ethics. They've effectively built a weapon without a safety.
Do you have a basis for this claim or are you just throwing it out there to see if it catches on? The document linked refers to IaaS, which as an acronym definitely does not include ISPs.

Economically, its complex. Coin creation is decentralised, everybody prints their own 'money'. The value of that help-currency is based on how connected you are to the globally connected transaction graph. Then we maintain fairness in this micro-economy against freeriders.

Did either of you read the article?
Is it expensive on an absolute basis or on a relative basis? If getting a metal tube to fly through the air at 500 mph is expensive, then we shouldn't expect that you get a luxury experience just because the ticket price is $200 or whatever.

Also, I checked on google flights and a 2 hour flight is roughly equal to an 11 hour drive. Even if you factor in arriving 3 hours early for departure and 1 hour to get to your final destination, the time savings alone is worth most of the cost of the trip. If you factor in gas/wear on your car it's a no-brainer, even if it's "expensive".

OP isn't wrong. Once the switch was made from 2D to 3D gates, transistor numbering became "this is the performance you would expect if you COULD shrink a gate to x nm", and while it's inaccurate it lets people understand how differentiated a new generation is from the previous ones. It also lets them stay consistent with understanding the progression of chips over time as in most of the history of silicon the generations were defined by the gates' nm sizing.
Idealism: People are unique and should be viewed independently of their appearance.

Reality: You can make correlations based on patterns.

I find it interesting this is acceptable/necessary in marketing. Outside of marketing this is immoral.
What a fascinatingly absurd claim. Do you have anything to back up this claim?
I read your entire post, and couldn't understand what you do.

After watching the video, I think you make it easy for SaaS creators to give their customers the ability to integrate with other SaaS/API products. Is that right?

So e.g. if I make a SaaS tool for plumbers, and some of those plumbers use Xero for accounting, then I could use Nango to allow those plumbers to set up some data flow between my SaaS and Xero. Right?
I have zero faith in this direction. How will you pay for the GPT agent operations? These things are expensive to run, which means there are going to crop up cheaper ad-supported alternatives and we're back to square 1.
The actual paper shows (r = .22) and (r = .31) so the headline would appear to overstate the case, no?
> You're calling a collection and storage of your personal information as "benign"?!

All major cloud services already collect this information. I filled in the bare minimum on AWS, and they've got my full name, address, phone number, email, and credit card details.
If someone is a current smoker and they eventually die of lung cancer, would you say that they avoided the fatal decision up until they died?

I mean, in the long we are all dead, but we have to say that there can be ultimately fatal decisions made in which the person does not immediately die.
> Rhetorically assuming this is truth, he’s also a socialist who has a better grasp on the liberal perspective. He’s a different socialist than his comrade who’s never bothered to explore liberal writing.

You read Emerson less narrowly than I did. And on a second read I see that I misremembered it (it wasn’t about how you are what you read).

> > I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.

My paragraph was more addressed to this:

> It’s a good reminder to be mindful of my content diet — you are what you read, even if you don’t always remember it.

This mirror relationship is not the case. You are not what you read. You are affected by it but you don’t become more like it.

Show HN: Langtrace – OpenTelemetry-Based Client & SDK for LLM App Observability
Hey HN,

Ola and Karthik here. We are working on Langtrace (https://github.com/Scale3-Labs/langtrace), an open source, open telemetry based SDK and monitoring/evaluations client for LLM based applications. The SDK generates OTEL standard spans and traces for popular LLMs like OpenAI, Anthropic and Cohere, popular frameworks like Langchain and LlamaIndex and vectorDBs like ChromaDB and Pinecone.

The LLM monitoring/evaluations space has seen a number of products off late, both open source and closed source ones. However, a couple of things we have observed are: lack of standard spans and traces that creates vendor lock-in, different tools are optimized for solving different pain points - Evaluations, Prompt management, Datasets, etc.

We believe that adopting OpenTelemetry (OTEL) standard tracing not only allows teams to use the SDK without having to switch their observability client, but will also enable developers to develop tooling for any custom needs, such as capturing datasets, prompts, evaluations etc.

A note on what we have built so far:

[1] We have a Python and a TypeScript SDK and we have broken down the support for the LLM layer into 3 groups, LLMs, Frameworks and VectorDBs. Our SDKs are open telemetry compatible, can be installed and used independently and we also provide an option to pass custom exporters to export the traces and spans to any observability tool of your choice.

[2] An observability client that is hyper optimized for solving the unique pain points and challenges that come with LLM based apps like Evaluations, prompt iteration, datasets etc. We are SOC2 compliant and the client can also be self hosted if you have strict data privacy and protection requirements.

[3] Both the SDK and the client are fully open source. We are leaning on the community to try it out and provide us with feedback. A note about OpenTelemetry semantic conventions for LLMs - we would like to converge on standard names for trace attributes that follow the OTEL rules and are looking for feedback from experts here - https://github.com/Scale3-Labs/langtrace/discussions/71

We recognize that this project is early and there is a lot of room for improvement. We would love to hear your thoughts and feedback. Thanks!

While I'm no fan of Oracle, the cost of this implementation is likely less absurd than it sounds on it's face.

Rarely are ERP systems implemented at this scale without a lot of ad-hoc customization. I do mean a lot of customization. Implementations also rarely, if ever, go as planned...

ERP systems tend to be the "core" of your organization - with all data and operational processes being managed by the software. You literally build your organization around your ERP.

With that said, organizations like to do things the way they're used to doing things... so they almost always try to make their new ERP system behave similar to their old ERP system. This can get very expensive very quickly.

Then there's ongoing support, etc. This contract likely reserves teams of heavy hitters on stand by, waiting to fastrope into an outage with only a moment's notice. That's also very expensive.
One of the advancements against EW is having on-device mapping systems (this goes back to the Tomahawk in the 70s) so that the projectile can adjust its flight in the absence of GPS. This is what one of the real advances of AI promises to be - a vehicle that can identify and change targets fully autonomously. Will especially apply to unmanned underwater vehicles which (as far as I know) haven't been deployed but will surely change the dynamic on the seas

I don't see it as an issue if the marketing term maintains the original context:

"how large a planar FET should be for the transistor density used in this process"

Is this the case, I'm not entirely sure. If it is, there be a better unit for this measurement, absolutely.

PLANETS: PLANar Equivalent Transistor Size

Or hire a marketing team to figure a good one.
You're asking the wrong question. Individual Indians, Bangladeshis, and Pakistanis can easily "become part of" a western democracy. The real question is how these immigrants can maintain and perpetuate an egalitarian western democracy. At the scale of immigration Canada and the US is experiencing, you can’t take for granted that the immigrants will simply maintain the kind of society that’s currently in place. Democracy doesn't arise from putting certain rules and constitutional structures down on paper. Instead, it’s the expression of the civic culture of a people.

That culture, in turn, isn’t about superficial stuff like food and language. Who wouldn’t think Indian food is a good thing? But what’s important to maintaining and perpetuating a democracy is deep culture. How do people in a culture view relations between people in society? On the sub-continent, we have an intensely hierarchical view of society, where we place great importance on people’s breeding (coming from a “good family”). Family ties and personal relationships, moreover, are much more important than abstract rules. People are much more willing to cover things up or bend rules to protect personal relationships than in the west, making the sub-continent a breeding ground for corruption. Asians, in general, come from societies that had millennia of large-scale imperial government. So the view of the relationship between the government and the individual is very different.

I'll give you a concrete example of the distinction. My family easily assimilated into the Virginia town where I grew up. That only means we can function—very successfully—within an environment where the norms are imposed by some other culture. We couldn’t recreate that environment. My mom can function in a society where norms of egalitarianism are imposed by a dominant culture. But that’s just not how she sees the world. She looks down on "the common people" and think that society should be governed top-down by people of good breeding and education. Because that’s a foundational assumption in our culture. And if suddenly 20% of the population were like my mom, the environment would become less egalitarian.

In fact, that's exactly what happened to my town. We went from being a quintessentially American middle class town to having a large number of affluent, educated Asians move in. And they completely changed the environment.
What is the best argument why this technology exists or should exist? It's fun?Live translation is the only one I can think of, and even then the benefits of the persons 'real' voice are scant.
