I mean, you need to speak German to talk to a German. It’s not really much different for LLM, just because the language they speak has a root in English doesn’t mean it actually is English.

And even if it was, there’s plenty of people completely unintelligible in English too…

> - "from the river to the sea" -> implies the destruction of Israel

The Israeli vs. Palestinian conflict is, for the Palestinians, about property rights. And both sides claim the full area between the Jordan river to the Sea. Plenty of groups say the same thing, whether it's the Chinese view on Taiwan ("one China!") or the ISIS view on the Middle East (and half of Europe and Asia..) being "one Ummah" and nobody calls it racist.

The funny part with that is that it's literally just a pun on the original Israeli Likud party slogan of "between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty"[0]. The other day Netanyahu said the same thing with "West of the Jordan river."[1] Is that whatever the Palestinian equivalent of antisemitism is?

> - "keep the world clean" -> seems to imply some sort of "cleansing" of Jews

All the examples I've seen (as stupid as the phrase is, people seem to copy it as if it's witty) have included the Israeli flag. There are plenty of people that roast Turks and Turkey, but the addition of the crescent moon on their flag doesn't turn into a roast on all of Islam.

Israel has intentionally conflated being anti-Jewish with being anti-Israeli so that you can't target the latter, but somehow also rides the wave of Israeli actions can't be attributed to Jews in general. It's a strange take but if anything has led to a rise in actual antisemitism (as in the anti-Jewish variety) it has been that intentional muddying of the waters.

This also isn't to take away from your main point that there is plenty of real antisemitism out there. I'm sure there is, and it's probably underreported if anything. But the majority of the examples given by pro-Israeli groups (chosen only because they're most visible) are not it.

Yes, IOUs of credit worthy people can be part of your assets. But so can be diamonds or stocks.

> B borrows $500, which for simplicity's sake he deposits in his account.

If you stop there, your analysis is indeed correct. However, people don't typically take out loans to stuff the borrowed money into their accounts until the loan comes due.

They go out and buy stuff with the proceeds. So B withdraws the money.

So now you have:

- Assets: 1000$ cash in your safe plus an IOU of 500$ from B = 1500$.

- Liabilities: 1000$ deposit from A + 500$ deposit from B = 1500$.

So far so good.

You can repeat that game two more times, and then you run out of cash to withdraw.

So if you repeated it a third time, you'd need to sell the loan from B to a third party for cash, so you can fulfill B's withdrawal request.

If B is credit worthy, you will generally be able to make that sale. (But it takes time and hassle to organise.) Ie you have short term liquidity trouble, but you ain't insolvent.

If B is a deadbeat, you won't be able to sell that loan for enough to cover the withdrawal request, and now you are insolvent, and go into bankruptcy.

No surprising at all. Their coffee is expensive (damn near $6 for decent size latte), and if you get something to eat as well you’ve already spent $10-12 pretty much first thing in the morning. Keeping up this habit is a struggle if you don’t have a lot of disposable income.

I bought one of them coffee pod machines and just started buying keurig pods instead. For the price of roughly 2.25 lattes, I can get 10 pods that last me an entire week. It’s easier, cheaper, cleaner, and quicker than going to Starbucks or where ever else. I still miss the very act of going to get coffee, but that’s not enough to justify the cost when I could spend the money on gas for instance.
It’s the principle of the mandatory account which really bugs me, more than the technical logistics of it.

Not only does it seem unnecessary to require this even just for curious new users to quickly try it out, but it sends me a strong signal about their priorities and tells me that they probably don’t align with mine.
> People only need so many coffees.

I think it's more like "people only need so many coffee shops." Now that they've mostly achieved saturation, they want to improve revenue by other means, like increasing prices, and people will only pay so much for their coffee and snacks (although the cutoff seems surprisingly high).
What a pity...
After a friend mentioned Arc to me today, I gave it a try. I'm a long time Brave user and have no love lost for Chrome these days (though I need to stick to Chromium browsers for plugin compatibility reasons).

* First launch is a full screen, loud ass, unskippable video. I literally Cmd+Q'd the browser right there and then. If it wasn't for my friends insistence I try it, that would have been the end of my Arc experiment right there.

* The "Login before you start" is stupid, I get it, but stupid. As a techy who uses lots of devices, something that has built in sync is actually appealing to me.

* The settings is a strange mix of UI/UX's. There is clearly some quasi-chrome settings in browser, but then a settings screen that is more traditional Mac pop-out style. Sometimes one links to the other and it's...disjointed.

* "Max" the AI tooling has potential. While I love ChatGPT, I don't need AI in everything and it really annoys me when AI is shoved into products unnecessarily... so far so good on Max. The "ask on page" feature works surprisingly well and the 5 second previews is cool on a site like HN.

* ChatGPT in the command bar. Cool, I guess. It's just a quick way to get to your existing chatgpt account. I'm glad it's my account and not yours - so win for that. Too bad Cmd+Opt+G is taken by Google Drive.

* It's tab management is ... fine? That's something that will clearly take some getting use to.

* Spaces & Profiles. I don't like that a new profile needs to have a new space create first. It's unintuitive for those of us who are used to profiles from Chrome. I get that Arc is trying to allow us to organize. But I want two VERY separate worlds. One work, one personal. Just allow me to create a new profile directly from the Profiles settings, and open that into a new window. Like every other chrome-clone

* The tiny stupid URL in the left bar is... tiny and useless and stupid. But you can View > Show Toolbar easily - so that's good. In a world in which the web is an ever more dangerous place, obfuscating the URL to the point in which I can't even read the domain... is poorly thought through.

* The import system seems to work extremely well. It imported all my plugins (which all work, awesome) and even my session cookies... so getting "up and running" is much easier.

* Sync only sync's open tabs. So it's effectively useless.
Yes. What is your point, other than trying to justify the bloated budget of the security state? As if we couldn't get better outcomes by investing directly in primary research and education without spook middlemen.

"LLMs develop most of their skills during pretraining—but success depends on the quality, size, and variety of the data they consume. So much text is needed that it is practically impossible for an LLM to be taught solely on vetted high-quality data. This means accepting lower quality data, too. For the armed forces, an LLM cannot be trained on military data alone; it still needs more generic forms of information, including recipes, romance novels, and the day-to-day digital exchanges that populate the Internet."

Being reminded of that fact it occurs that LLMs are to decision making systems what Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS) were to investment. "AAA" rating with tranches full of crap.

That didn't end well, did it?
LLMs aren't randomly generated though, they are shaped by training data. This means there would, in principle, be a comparable way to synthesize an equivalent assembly program from that same training data.

The difference here is that it's just more obvious how to do this in one case than the other.

My point was only that 1) neural networks are sufficient, even if real neurons have additional complexity, and 2) whatever that additional complexity, artificial neural networks can learn to reproduce it.
Starbucks hasn’t been considered specialty coffee since before the war in Iraq. Their secret is that Americans like milkshakes and putting coffee in them makes people feel less guilty ordering one every day. Their dark roasts are designed to still be perceptible over all of the fat and sugar.

That kind of worked back when the competition was Folger’s annealing to the pot at the local diner, but chains like Dunkin’ expanded and McDonald’s et al. upgraded and they all have better tasting coffee you don’t need to sweeten so much to cover the bitterness.

If you mean that the virus is outpacing the surveillance and the public health announcements, then yes, it feels similar to Covid in January/February of 2020. The difference being that its not human-to-human yet. The fact that it's jumped to mammals hasn't produced the appropriate level of concern, and unfortunately if it jumps to humans we're going to be behind the curve again. I wasn't the only person making arrangements in Feb. 2020, and I suspect I'm not the only person now. Thankfully I'm more prepared now, mentally and materially, for what a pandemic lockdown looks like. But H5N1 could be a very different beast, if the CFR is as high as 50% and the virus is in the food supply. At that point you have to worry about not just the virus, but the total breakdown of society. Forget understaffed hospitals, who's going to staff the water treatment plants and the nuclear plants? In Covid we were more or less able to keep food from running out. A virus with such a high mortality rate as H5N1 might burn itself out rather quickly. I'm more concerned about the state of anarchy that would erupt and possibly last for a long time. I'm prepared to isolate or mask or live on canned food for a few months until there's a vaccine. I'm prepared to defend my home from the odd intruder. But I'm not prepared to defend it against pillaging hordes of looters.

So, concern, yes. This is a ticking time bomb. Let's hope that if/when it jumps to humans, it's either 98% less deadly than what's been seen in opportunistic crossover H5N1 infections, or else that it's geographically contained until vaccine production can be ramped up.

The vaccine stockpile of ~5M doses should be used to create fences around any suspected cases and all of their contacts. That's the only real hope.

NixOS Foundation board: Giving power to the community
Lack of differentiability is actually a very important feature of the underlying optimization problem.

You might think that it doesn't matter because ReLU is, e.g., non-differentiable "only at one point".

Gradient based methods (what you find in pytorch) generally rely on the idea that gradients should taper to 0 in the proximity of a local optimum. This is not the case for non-differentiable functions, and in fact gradients can be made to be arbitrarily large even very close to the optimum.

As you may imagine, it is not hard to construct examples where simple gradient methods that do not properly take these facts into account fail to converge. These examples are not exotic.

I suspect that the marketplace still has a little bit of an inherent cost. That said it is in a weird sort of zombie state nowadays. Demos for games you cannot buy, loads of apps that have had their API's move on many years ago. Internet Explorer! No with out of date SSL certs. A lot of title no longer available due to licensing issues.

For both Xbox 360 and Ps3 I suspect a decent business move would be to have a one time deal. A $100 (or whatever) one time payment that ensures that the core system will remain online for a decade. Doesn't mean any additional purchases but means that match making and friends lists will stay running until 2034. That would have given these systems a 26-27 year life time. Sony is still releasing system updates once a year to keep the Blu-ray keys up to date.

> This is true "privilege" speaking -- they don't seem to realize how fortunate they were to be in their positions in the first place.

> Companies employ you because it's a good deal for them. If you're lucky, you find a place where it is a good deal for you too. Protesting and disrupting work changes that calculus for the company. It's no longer a good deal for them, and the unsurprising result is that they won't want to hire such people back.

Everytime workers do something collectively there's a dozen people in these threads saying the same thing, as if it's some sort of revelation.

Sometimes people do things regardless of what's "expected" to be done to them, hoping for reason and empathy to prevail. That's not a sin and being snide about it isn't helpful.
The 150x PGVector Speedup
Technically not with virtual machines as the hardware is shared, though I agree, nowadays accounts and access control of the system belong to the virtualization layer below. The benefits of multiple accounts per machine are tiny and not worth the complexity for server setups.

We could significantly simplify things by getting rid of the account system. The same could be said for a lot of systems like database servers. Typically it's just one database, one user (your application server) with full access. The account system is mostly an annoyance.

For big company use cases where you want to reduce attack surface, why not spawn a second server with different credentials? Anyway big companies typically have many database servers in a cluster and the same credentials are shared by many server processes... The tendency there is literally in the opposite direction.
That doesn't make it a scam though, just a waste of money. A scam would be something like, you order it and what turns up is a photo of the device with a QR code on the back linking to a download for the app.

I don't think crossing cache lines is particularly much of a concern? You'll necessarily be fetching the next cache line in the next cycle anyway to decode further instructions (not even an unconditional branch could stop this I'd think), at which point you can just "prepend" the chopped tail of the preceding bundle (and you'd want some inter-bundle communication for fusion regardless).

This does of course delay decoding this one instruction by a cycle, but you already have that for instructions which are fully in the next line anyways (and aligning branch targets at compile time improves both, even if just to a fixed 4 or 8 bytes).
The rate of progress of generative AI is honestly quite scary.

The article says nothing about the R1 being “scammy” - only that its functionality is overlapped by devices you likely already own. Also unsurprising for a $200 device, which is only even marketed to be a novel interface. Honestly if it’s less addictive than a smartphone due to being more limited, that could be reason enough to carry one.

Your disagreement doesn't matter - the fact is that that part of the comment was written solely to manipulate people. Nobody ever says things like "Maybe we should rethink that rhetoric just a bit?" unless they're intending to shame and guilt others. There's no informational content or facts or logic or anything remotely valuable in that statement. Its sole purpose is to tweak people's emotions, nothing more.
This is a cursory take based upon superficial reckoning. The apps already exist, and they already suck, precisely because of the capabilities that phones have.

AI apps, particularly voice assistants, are designed to give you text and data via a screen. I can't tell you how many times I've asked a perfectly simple question and my android assistant responded, infuriatingly, "here's what I found on the web" or the dreaded "please unlock your phone" prompt when it relates to anything remotely personal.

If I wanted a web browser experience or to find the answer on my own, or to follow up with focusing my attention and interacting with a digital keyboard, I would have!

The rabbit interaction is for a purely responsive 2024 AI experience, which doesn't try to shovel me back to the 90's at earliest convenience.

> Most importantly, he let people trade shady shitcoins but never stole customer funds.

Can't highlight your "most importantly" enough. At the end of the day, CZ didn't follow regulations, which certainly gave lots of shady characters access to money transfers who otherwise would have been blocked had those regulations been followed. But for everyday joes that just gambled and lost, it's hard to feel much sympathy (especially since plenty have gambled and won). But unlike FTX, Binance didn't flat out commit theft. Do that with enough money and you're screwed.
Posting a README with spam or a link to malware is not particularly sophisticated, especially given that Docker Hub literally serves executables that people download and run without any vetting.

I don't think I've expressed myself well.

When I say software at scale I mean:

- going on GitHub opening a file and understanding what's happening

- reviewing a PR and figuring out stuff without requiring an ide

- having easy onboarding with devs already accustomed to a base language and its patterns

Java, C, TypeScript, Scala, Kotlin, etc. Pretty much all major languages offer this: less power but much less ambiguity and mental overhead.

Lisps (with a minor exception for clojure) and Haskell are just not those languages.

Which, again, is why all of those languages produced very little software worth of mentioning for decades.
