Currently managing a backend team, started my professional career at Warby Parker, and before that I taught myself to code trying to start a company building LED wearables for raves out of college. Physics and philosophy degrees, interested in everything, especially governance and complexity reduction in technical systems. Reach out to chat!
> is being caused by carry trades by the financial sector.

This is a solid short-term explanation, but there's always an investment sector focused on the long term, and those guys are looking at the demographic disaster Japan will inevitably experience.

Carry trades and yield arbitrage explain a lot, but the Hikikomori are wrecking the Yen over the long term.
I always remember the back alley scenes in Back to the Future part 2 where you can see stacks of them in the trash.

Could this be a model with GPT-2 architecture (all dense decoder only transformer) trained on GPT-4 dataset with GPT-4 tokeniser?
That measurement method is skewed in favor of the European system where the wealth & income ladders start a bit higher and end much lower than in the US.

If you measured improvements in net worth as well, and measured it by the number of dollars added to someone's bottom line instead of just what quintile someone is in, it would be IMO a more fair comparison.

For example, (made up numbers ahead) let's compare two made-up people:

A is in the bottom quintile earning say 20k EUR with a net worth stagnating at 0 EUR, and they then move up to the top quintile earning 80k EUR with a net worth of 20k EUR and growing. They pay heavy taxes on that 80k EUR so it's hard to grow their wealth.

B is in the bottom quintile of the US, earning 20k USD. They make it up a couple of quintiles, but not quite to the top. They still end up earning 150k USD, and because they pay low tax, most of the 150k sticks around, giving them a net worth of say 50k USD and growing faster.

A will give a better indicator of social mobility according to the Economist's method.

But I'd much rather be B.
I suspect people who buy expensive watches aren't bothered by having to adjust them a few times a year, assuming they didn't buy those watches as investments.

I have a very cheap (~$10) mechanical pocket watch, and it's not all that accurate in keeping time. But to me, winding the watch and adjusting the time is part of the fun. Even more fun is watching the gears and listening to the ticks, and pulling out my pocket watch when my friends started looking at their smartwatches.
The flip side is that there’s no way I’m doing a “two hour” (really 4-8 hour) take-home if I’m still at the stage where there are 250 candidates. Or 25, even. Maybe three.

It’s cheaper because not enough city housing is built and there are other costs associated with suburban living. IMO, property taxes should increase as density decreases because those less dense areas will cost a lot more to maintain roads, utilities, etc. down the road.

Cynic in me: so, if law enforcement requests list of 47-hours periods its all fine then? And what about not real-time records, all history of driving is available for free then.
My start to programming was accidentally signing up for a class in high school that taught Turbo Pascal (1995). I then starting playing on my TI-85 (TIBASIC) and then bought a friend's old 286 and started hacking around in QBASIC. That unlocked a memory from when I was elementary school in the early-mid eighties and we did some programming on an Apple (II I'm guessing), writing BASIC, early enough that line numbers were still required.

> ways of taking running servers such that they keep running

That's an interesting point. Wonder how complete that approach is, and if it maintains network connectivity between the servers they're grabbing?

Some clustering solutions automatically reboot a server if it loses network connectivity for a short period of time (ie 1 min). That would really mess up the "preserve stuff in ram" thing, if it's purely just designed to keep a server running.
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding something but... does this mean that when you say, create a text file or PDF on Haiku the application creating that file is responsible for copying its icon into the new file's metadata? i.e. if I make a directory full of 1000 text files then I've also created 1000 duplicate images?

There is unlikely any reason for you, someone who spends his time posting anonymously on an Internet forum, to want this.

But there is population out there who like to go outside and show off their fancy things to other real, live people. They are the intended audience.

Yes, it very well may be that this is not fancy enough to win anyone over, but such is the nature of business. Not everything is a hit. Even successful companies like Apple and Google that you would think should know with certainty what people want have had their fair share of flops. You really don't know until you try.
That song shows up in For All Mankind.
> since it's hard to prove to the bean counters that an attack will happen with reasonable certainty on a given system in the next quarter, good luck getting resources and priority for mitigations beyond the usual.

False.

Companies are now liable to report breaches to the SEC and steps taken to remediate.

As I've mentioned several times on HN before, heads do roll and C-Suite does care about security posture now that liability and insurance payouts are on the line.

The annoying thing is HNers will never see the actual successes (because these are obviously kept private) and only see a couple glaring failures.

Furthermore, this report is an advertisement for Verizon's MSSP division (Verizon Business), which companies pay to manage their security posture - all telcos have had an MSSP BU since the 1980s (ATT Global Business Services being the market leader)

You'll see a lot of BS like this for the next 2 months because RSA is in 2 weeks and AWS Re:Invent in a month. It's conference season (great time to stock up on free tshirts and drink Blanton's on the corporate tab)

And yet C++ is the best programming language.

If you had to pick only one language to use, for everything, you'd pick C++. It can do it all, from bit fields to polymorphic classes to closures; it's safer and saner than C (you haven't read the standards if you think otherwise); it's got a level of support and maturity (and probably lifespan) than any other comparable language.

Not to mention the sheer joy of listening to the roar of traffic pretty much everywhere, the cost of sound insulation so that I can sleep at night, the increased medical costs (pollution/obesity/stress), drive through litter, being bullied off the road if you're not in a car, and having to either give way to metal box owners or cross roads at locations intended purely to enable them to move freely. All the while watching endless ads that'd make the Marlboro man blush - endless empty roads and vehicles that wouldn't harm a fluffy bunny. Yep, freedumb.
> It is not designed to tell you the "most likely" text that follows, and we don't actually want that. This would mean you have no diversity in your outputs.

No, we specifically do want "most likely" to follow; the goal is to approximate Solomonoff induction as well as possible. See this recent paper by Hutter's team: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.14953

Quote from the paper:

"LLMs pretrained on long-range coherent documents can learn new tasks from a few examples by inferring a shared latent concept. They can do so because in-context learning does implicit Bayesian inference (in line with our CTW experiments) and builds world representations and algorithms (necessary to perform SI [Solomonoff Induction]). In fact, one could argue that the impressive in-context generalization capabilities of LLMs is a sign of a rough approximation of Solomonoff induction."

> In your example, sampling a 0 in 40% of cases and a 1 in 60% of cases does[n't] make sense for chat applications.

I didn't say anything about sampling. A sequence prediction model represents a mapping between an input sequence and a probability distribution over all possible output sequences up to a certain length.

My example uses a binary alphabet, but LLMs use an alphabet of tokens. Any chat application that expresses its output as a string of concatenated symbols from a given alphabet has a probability distribution defined over all possible output sequences. I'm simply comparing the fundamental limitations of any approach to inference that restricts its outcome space to sequences consisting of one symbol (and then layers on a meta-model to generate longer sequences by repeatedly calling the core inference capability) vs an approach that performs inference over an outcome space consisting of sequences longer than one symbol.
I like the private jet analogy. I think people are naturally comparing HTMX to React, which is the source of misunderstanding in this discussion. But its not entirely wrong to make this comparison because people are also slowly learning that HTMX may potentially be able to implement 90% of the use-cases. Now whether or not HTMX is "simpler" to implement in all of those use-cases is highly dependent on many factors like I called out in the article.

Hopefully by understanding people's opinions, we can all make better engineering decisions though.

I think
It'd didn't take nearly that long for us to start to identify that there was a problem there. Making the case that it required a regulatory response definitely took really long, which I expect will happen again this time.

All sorts of things get published which can earnestly be chalked up to stock manipulation. Bloomberg for one have a tendency for reporting rumours from "numerous sources". (Such as their widely ridiculed report "the big hack".)

Also in that space are tech analysts. For all but the most obvious reports (e.g. new phone is faster and has a better camera), their predictions rarely come to fruition and their reports regularly contradict themselves, even in the span of just a few days.

Looking over the past reports from analysts (such as Ming-Chi Kuo) tells you everything you need to know about the industry.
