It does become a problem when you have a system service developer who
thinks the universe revolves around him, and nobody else matters, and
people sending him bug-reports are annoyances that should be ignored
rather than acknowledged and fixed. At that point, it's a problem.

Honored to get a reply from you sir!

I haven't personally done a deep dive on Satoshi's intentions probably for the specific reason I've always failed to see why former intentions or aspirations for technologies, even by their own creators would have any relevance towards their future use cases. If Edison had said light bulbs were for heating should we then oppose them being mostly adopted and optimized for lighting?

As a very passive but very interested stakeholder at the time of the block size wars it really felt to me there was heavy politicking and various degrees of !@#$ going on from all sides. The amount of viciousness certainly didn't surprise me given the immense magnitude of the stakes involved with potentially replacing a market in the hundreds of trillions of dollars.

I'm not sure I follow your last point. Stores of value certainly don't have to be mediums of exchange to build market cap (whereas the converse is true). That's true of the great majority of monetary wealth in the world. Most of fiat currency is held in treasury bond form (not a medium of exchange), real estate is heavily monetized and stocks to a degree. The actual dominant medium of exchange today is cash mostly in bank deposit form and it's a tiny fraction of that market which mostly sits on longer term horizons in assets that perform the function of storing value better. Are you saying a government might void converting stores of value to mediums of exchange? Or cryptocurrency specifically? In essence that they would make those assets illegal altogether? If they did it's true they would become worthless, at least for that jurisdiction, but some of the market obviously disagrees with that assumption, and landmark events like the bitcoin etfs continue to point the other way.
This is why transparency leads to responsibility, which leads to good outcomes.

True for private corporations, true for gov'ts.

Aren't the models already doing this, in a way? We know they can do things like write rhyming poems and song lyrics that do make perfect sense, so at some point the activations must be encoding some sort of overall plan for the upcoming sentences, even if maybe every word isn't predicted yet.
89 is the MII (major industry identifier) according to ISO/IEC 7812 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_7812). First digit 8 includes the telecom industry.
Well, a combination of that and its training data. base LLMs reflect the views in their training data, which is also heavily influenced by culture, and then the people training them usually try to adjust that with more carefully selected training data (with varying degrees of success: generally the result seems to be overly-cautious, but with still some substantial biases slipping through the cracks. See how much difference there is between image generators prompted with different genders).
You are not disputing that biomass is carbon neutral?
> In the EU, this is made even worse by the definition of green electricity which [...] excludes nuclear energy

Are you sure about this? I've done a quick search for what is specifically included, but came out empty-handed. I was under the impression that France managed to get nuclear to be included.

Edit: found something that seems to say it's included in the "list of technologies" aimed to achieving "net zero" emissions. Although it's not "green", it's "strategic".

https://www.euractiv.com/section/energy-environment/news/nuc...

> After much back and forth, nuclear power was finally included in the single list of 17 technologies proposed in November by the text’s rapporteur, German MEP Christian Ehler (European People’s Party – EPP).

In addition, all nuclear technologies were covered: existing and future ones, fission, fusion as well as the fuel cycle.
As much as I dislike cryptocurrency, you're being unfair here. Some people of that crowd have privacy as central principle, Tor is then more than clearly related.

FWIW, systemd is normally pretty good at providing autocomplete suggestions, so even if you don't want to set up an alias you'll probably just have to type `--b<TAB> ` to set it.

According to the man page source[0]:

> The color specified should be an ANSI X3.64 SGR background color, i.e. strings such as `40`, `41`, …, `47`, `48;2;…`, `48;5;…`

and a link to the relevant Wikipedia page[1]. Given systemd's generally decent track record wrt defects and security issues, and the simplicity of valid colour values, I expect there's a fairly robust parameter verifier in there.

In fact, given the focus on starting the elevated command in a highly controlled environment, I'd expect the colour codes to be output to the originating terminal, not forwarded to the secure pty. That way, the only thing malformed escapes can affect is your own process, which you already have full control over anyway.

(Happy to be shown if that's a mistaken expectation though.)

Show HN: TensorDock – GPU Cloud Marketplace, H100s from $2.49/hr
Hey folks! I’m Jonathan from TensorDock, and we’re building a cloud GPU marketplace. We want to make GPUs truly affordable and accessible.

I once started a web hosting service on self-hosted servers in middle school. But building servers isn’t the same as selling cloud. There’s a lot of open source software to manage your homelab for side projects, but there isn’t anything to commercialize that.

Large cloud providers charge obscene prices — so much so that they can often pay back their hardware in under 6 months with 24x7 utilization.

We are building the software that allows anyone to become the cloud. We want to get to a point where any [insert company, data center, cloud provider with excess capacity] can install our software on our nodes and make money. They might not pay back their hardware in 6 months, but they don’t need to do the grunt work — we handle support, software, payments etc.

In turn, you get to access a truly independent cloud: GPUs from around the world from suppliers who compete against each other on pricing and demonstrated reliability.

So far, we’ve onboarded quite a few GPUs, including 200 H100 SXMs available from just $2.49/hr. But we also have A100 80Gs from $1.63/hr, A6000s from $0.47/hr, A4000s from $0.13/hr, etc etc. Because we are a true marketplace, prices fluctuate with supply and demand.

All are available in plain Ubuntu 22.04 or with popular ML packages preinstalled — CUDA, PyTorch, TensorFlow, etc., and all are hosted by a network of mining farms, data centers, or businesses that we’ve closely vetted.

If you’re looking for hosting for your next project, give us a try! Happy to provide testing credits, just email me at jonathan@tensordock.com. And if you do end up trying us, please provide feedback below [or directly!] :)

It’s dishonest to not disclose what esoteric networking / system configuration is causing this, because it’s blindingly obvious from your outsized reaction that this is the case.
A similar idea was tested in an experimental BSD clone in Berkeley in mid-1980s. (Great sorry I havenʼt kept link to the description, so rephrase with my own words. Maybe this was in the McKusickʼs book?)

No suid or sgid was allowed. A daemon started from init and listening on a socket listened for connections, checked permissions and run the specified binary with requested permissions. A caller had to interact with the started program using pipes.

It seems the complexity of passing all to pipes was why the approach was rejected. Instead, the checking of inherited environment was strengthened. "Everything new is well forgotten old."

> The problem is that once you have the vectors representing the answers you need something like another model that goes back to a word representation of said answers. Something like a diffusion model but for text.

Could it be just a smaller llm that takes as input both the semantic vector and the prompt, and is trained to predict the output tokens based on those? A model with high linguistic abilities and very little reasoning skills.
I’ve been doing this for decades, too, but I don’t miss having to deal with everyone inventing multiple log hierarchies, different rotation conventions, compression strategies, etc. not to mention all of the other things which systemd removed from daily toil around process management.

Ask HN: Using prompts as Python code is a genius way or not?
As you know the capacity of modern LLMs supports to creation of mostly succeed Python codes. What happens if we use this capacity in the real coding future? Just write a prompt and explain what you want and what you expect. It just generates the codes and runs and exports the output. It is genius or not ? Speed, cost against efficiency
There's usually a cost to shuttling data between bytecodes too. When two are fused together the second can lift the data from wherever the first wanted to leave it, as opposed to routing through a fixed location. Might be what you mean by shortcutting dataflow?

Also doing control flow in bytecode is usually slower than doing it in the native code.

I wonder if the context in which the instructions occur is sufficiently finite in sqlite for ahead of specialisation of the bytecode to be better. That is, the program you're operating on isn't known until JIT time, but the bytecode implementations are. SQL should correspond to an unusually specific set of operations relative to a general purpose language implementation.

The compiler will notice some values are constant when working with the bytecode. It can know ahead of time which arguments correspond to folding branches within the bytecode instructions and specialise correspondingly. If that works, you've emitted a sequence of calls into opcodes which are less branchy than they would otherwise be, at which point the opcode implementations start to look like basic blocks and a template JIT to machine code beckons.
They do both. Source: just got served an A/B test talking to GPT-4 using the web chat interface.
What it meant was, if you work at a place with all the cash controls of a casino, you have to be stoned to steal petty cash from them. You’re going to get caught, and you’re going to get a felony over a small amount of money. Nobody sober does that.

It was not meant as “all stoners are thieves” but as “you’d have to be high to think that’s a good idea”. And since nearly everyone who works at a dispensary is high all day every day, it happens, a lot more than armed robbery which almost never does.

The fuel you burn is neutral in that it pulled as much carbon from the air while growing, as is released by burning it.

But the carbon cost to manage, process and transport that fuel is not neutral.

It's called a template JIT. You get to remove the interpreter control flow overhead but tend to end up with a lot of register shuffling at the boundaries. Simpler than doing things properly, usually faster than a bytecode interpreter.
Also, at least the last time I checked, the Google Maps API was exorbitantly expensive. Niantic would likely get a discount, but avoiding this exploit doesn’t override all of the other benefits of OSM.
Reid Hoffman's AI clone: So 'human' that it wipes a booger on the table
Well, it feels like architecturally there's a lot of scope to do better for coding tasks specifically. Like, if you had FAIR level resources and wanted to train a really great Java coding model for example it would make sense to train the model to predict ASTs rather than tokens. You'd still need some kind of joint normal LLM for predicting comments, identifier names and so on, but you wouldn't model the program itself as a stream of tokens. Instead it would predict things like "add an if block", "add a method call block with 4 parameters" and so on.

You could also train the model to expect certain context window positions to be reserved for things like "type members at the current cursor" and then integrate the inferencing loop with IDE/LSP-style static analysis. This would allow the model to see more information than is actually contained in the text.

I think the reason we're not seeing models like this right now is the cost of doing such research combined with the fact that AI people are all Python-heads, and Python doesn't benefit from much IDEs.
> Since you are saying that you can't track down the exact service,

That is not what I said.
Vectors can do what one-hot vectors cannot do -- no one said inputs need to be rows from an token_id -> vector embeddings map. Basically, we are doing this already by moving from one-hot vectors to n-tuples of one-hot vectors, increasing the effective vocabulary size from V to V^n.

Only if you limit yourself to "sums of weighted inputs, sent through a 1D activation function".

However, the parent said "differentiable primitives": these days people have built networks that contain differentiable ray-tracers, differentiable physics simulations, etc. Those seem like crazy ideas if we limit ourselves to the "neural" analogy; but are quite natural for a "composition of differentiable primitives" approach.
My team mates over reliance on ai coding tools worries me.

People used to wear gold as jewelry thousands of years ago. And some people still do just that. That behavior predates a great many currencies. For example I'm pretty confident people shall still wear gold as jewelry long after the EUR currency shall be dead.

Enter any jewelry store in the west now and they'll tell you: men buy jewelry too now. But it didn't use to be that way: typically a watch was the only jewelry a man was allowed to wear.

I've got a very nice japanese mechanical watch which shows day of the week, day of the month and power reserve in addition of the time. Got it for 300 EUR brand new at a "family sale".

When I'm wearing that watch there's some device responsible for the zombification of the west I can do without: my smartphone. Adjusting it manually once in a while doesn't seem that bad of a deal.
How the fuck do you release a language without enums?
Yes. Otherwise next-token models wouldn't be nearly as good as they are. But the question is how to train these capabilities most efficiently! We had some interesting findings on how with increasing model/dataset scale/data quality, capabilities can move from "only learnable with multi-token prediction" to "indifferent" and "multi-token prediction actually hurts". This depends on the capability itself, induction e.g. matures way earlier in this sense than code generation capabilities.
