Definitely not a rare breed. They're just busy elsewhere
Firstly, the idea of individual human carriers in cities is flawed. It's the wrong approach to moving people in a dense area. So frankly, any insight that follows this point is ultimately pointless even if significant in context.

That said, individual human carriers in a populated area should only be controlled by a top-down system, a master-coordinator. No individual vehicle should have any freedom of choice beyond selecting a destination.
I always assumed LLMs would result in more bloated content (stupid interns) but I think you’re right that it’ll lead to more efficient prioritization (hooray interns)

I wonder if there's scientific consensus on how much water is "plenty". Like, what's the ABV I should target, averaged over every type of liquid I drank that night?

Regular beer contains about 20x as much water as it does ethanol (by volume), but apparently that's not enough. It's certainly better than wine, though, which only contains 6-8x the water and an entire catalogue of congeners.

Yes and to be honest, most of the air quality monitors use very similar PM modules.

So often there is not too much difference in the accuracy of the monitors. I wrote about this some time ago [1].

However when it comes to data ownership, API access, costs and repairability that's where there are big differences. In many reviews these aspects are in my opinion not enough covered.

One of the inputs into any business is labor, if labor is replaceable then business can function much more cost efficiently, since market forces on a replaceable commodity will reduce its cost. So, big tech acts as though labor is replaceable, because it’s in its economic interest to have that be true, hence the desire for standardization, procedure and systematization of labor, if an individuals output is not unique, they can be replaced, and if they are a replaceable commodity, then market forces will reduce their costs.
Of course. the first image of the blog post shows that you can "paint over" the largely unused area and you don't lose much of your original image. The hidden watermarks make use of this unused area so you can just paint over that area with blank data in order to "scrub" any hidden watermarks.
The hubris of suggesting that your single experience of vaguely seeing the northern lights one time in Seattle has now led to a deep understanding of their true "color" and that the other person (perhaps all other people?) must be fooling themselves is... part of what makes HN so delightful to read.

I've also seen the northern lights with my own eyes. Way up in the arctic circle in Sweden. Their color changes along with activity. Grey looking sometimes? Sure. But also colors that are so vivid that it feels like it envelopes your body.
Have you ever seen the Northern Lights with your eyes? If so I'm curious where you saw them.

I echo what some other posters here have said: they're certainly not gray.
The history of zoning is very much about keeping certain people out of the "nice" neighborhoods after Buchanan v. Warley declared explicitly racial zoning to be unconstitutional.

> I’m looking forward to the new iPad Pros, but I can’t shake the feeling that the same old iPadOS cycle is about to begin all over again.

This is EXACTLY how I feel. WWDC will roll around and Apple will completely drop the ball for yet another year with iPadOS.

I also feel that the iPad Pro is one of the best hardware form factors for a computer — but iPadOS makes it a not great laptop replacement. I can’t help but feel like it would look incredibly foolish for Apple to do their May iPad event announcing M4 iPads — only to find out at WWDC that iPadOS still sucks.

Thankfully, it seems like most people, tech reviewers, etc. are vocal about iPadOS missing the mark. I hope Apple doesn’t continue to ignore the negative feedback.

Unrelated, how bad is it to look without protection during totality? We got the approved eclipse glasses and diligently kept them on through the whole lead-up, then couldn't see shit once totality started, so we took them off and gazed at the loveliness and then hastily put them back on t moment the sun started to re-emerge.

I get that it's not good to tell the public "don't look at an eclipse unprotected except for this precisely-timed period," because that would lead to a statistically significant increase in permanent eye damage, but what we did seems to have gone fine, at least when exposures are circa once a decade.
Interesting, both Karpathy and Sutskever are gone from OpenAI now. Looks like it is now the Sam Altman and Greg Brockman show.

I have to admit, of the four, Karpathy and Sutskever were the two I was most impressed with. I hope he goes on to do something great.
I like really strong drinks like overproof whiskey and IPAs and craft cocktails, which can be shockingly alcoholic sometimes. It would be nice to have essentially a higher alcohol tolerance so I could drink the drinks I like most more freely. Now, I usually just eat a huge meal before I drink a lot, but a pill would be much better.

A similar thing has happened to me. I've had a Google account since I was 16 - and my Google Drive and Photos have almost two decades worth of photos and important personal documents.

My account was disabled due to a false-positive detection like this, and all appeal avenues that Google provided were all rejected. I also had friends at Google make appeals for me, and these too were rejected.

Despite being in IT, I never thought to make hard-drive backups, so lesson learned.

For those reading in Australia, or the EU, there seems to be some hope.
In Australia, the Privacy Act 1988 states that you own your data, and you have the right to request this data from companies. See https://www.oaic.gov.au/privacy/your-privacy-rights/your-per...

GDPR applies to residents of the EU, and seems to apply retrospectively. So if you are or become an EU resident, you can make a GDPR data access request.

For Australia, you can submit a data access request under the Privacy Act 1988 yourself and at no cost. I'll keep you posted if it works.

Ilya is very much in favor of closed source AI albeit for different reasons. I don't see a problem here.
When walking around the U of Toronto, I often think that ~10 years ago Ilya was in a lab next to Alex trying to figure things out. I can't believe this new AI wave started there. Ilya, Karpathy, Jimmy Ba, and many more were at the right time when Hinton was there too.

I believe that the Sensirion SGP41 is the slightly better VOC sensor and it also gives an NOx signal that can be useful:

"The testing results show that the SGP41 has a better response for 9/10 tested VOC solvents and can detect the level of NOx gases, which is a unique and important feature for hazardous and toxic gas detection and alarm systems."[1]

In general measuring VOCs is quite challenging and people really need to understand these type of sensors. A couple of months ago, I wrote a whole blog post about these issues. [2].

Few things:

- If your trying to access a customer network (such as for BYOC), exposing a public port in the customer network is likely a no-go (or would require complex networking to setup VPC peering etc)

- The Pico 'proxy' port doesn't need to be public (and in most cases won't be), such as you can only expose to clients in the same network (which is one of the benifits of self-hosting)

- The Pico 'upstream' port (that upstream services connect to) will usually need to be public, but that can use TLS and has JWT authentication
> other people will get outraged about how the companies are allowing or facilitating "bad stuff" which they obviously could have chosen not to allow or facilitate to the same extent.

They won't get outraged, they'll just not use it if they feel unsafe. That means less ad money, which is death for a monopolistic ad company, that's all. No outrage required.
It's absolutely not. Romance is a big term containing, among other things, subcategories that are resolutions resolutely against any explicit content. FWIW "erotica" is probably also wrong for similar but oppositely directed reasons.
That is one side of the story.
I’m no expert but looking at the pictures it is clear that most of the collision took place in the air well above the water, where the prow of the ship hit the top part of pier 17 causing it to collapse onto the bow of the ship.
To me, the protective barrier around the pier at the water level should have stood off much farther laterally from the pier to prevent that kind of prow contact - but then it would have blocked much of the navigation channel. Therefore the bridge should have been torn down and redesigned to modern ship dimensions long ago.

we try to coalesce these small writes as much as possible, to lower
total amount of sent packets. This is done if at least one prior

Still not enough to rule out training on the data in the task affecting the task. It may be that it couldn't find it without it appearing in the training data, but even with that it also needs it in its context window to bridge enough connections from the training or whatever to do well on the task.
Doing these end to end jobs still falls on user experience and UI, if we are talking about getting to mass market.

This GPT-4o model is a classic example. It is essentially the same model as GPT-4 but these multimodal features, voice conversations, math, and speed is revolutionary as the creation of the model itself.

Open Source LLM will end up as a model in GitHub and will be used by developers but it looks like even if GPT-4o is only 3 months ahead of other models in terms of benchmarks, the UI + Usecase + Model is 2 years ahead of the competition. And I say that because there is still no chat product that is close to what ChatGPT is delivering now, even though there are models that is close to ChatGPT 4o today.

So if it is sticky for 2 more years, their lead will just grow and we will just end up with more open source models that are technically behind by 3 months but behind product-wise by 2 years.

Your intuition is correct. I think you accidentally swapped %s and %d in one of your previous posts, leading to the confusion.

The "backwards" in the article is referring to the way the list is processed by the recursive function. The list and the resulting type are in the correct/intuitive order. I also found this sentence confusing.

By the way, thinking of a function of type a->b->c as a->(b->c) is technically correct and useful in certain cases, for example, when you are currying. But in most cases you can just read this as a function taking two arguments of types a and b, returning something of type c.

Human eyes are basically black and white in low light since rod cells can't detect color. But when the northern lights are bright enough you can definitely see the colors.

The fact that some things are too dark to be seen by humans but can be captured accurately with cameras doesn't mean that the camera, or the AI, is "making things up" or whatever.

Finally, nobody wants to see a video or a photo of a dark, gray, and barely visible aurora.

There was this old site called voat.co, a reddit clone with almost no restrictions to what you could post. IIRC, only child porn and bestiality was off limits. It was located in Switzerland.

Soon the site filled with nazi stuff among other things, so the author in fear of getting in trouble, relocated the site to a more free-speech country. Where? To the USA.

A free speech country is not the same as a country where some companies have restrictive policies. You cannot post a nipple in Instagram and then cry "muh freedom of speech". Use one of the endless sites to post such things or roll your own: the government won't stop you.

Sounds a bit more like you want to do something reranking-ish. Ideally, you would train a retrieval system to retrieve the most relevant pages which would inturn have been trained on a dataset not very different from MS-Marco. This would get you a small set of documents you want to rerank.

For reranking to be able to detect commercial bias, insincerity or bloat you could use LLMs but IIRC you train a multiclass classifier for each and then combine the probabilities for each head(calibrate too?) into a score and use it in your ranking as weights?

I hope people don't take from this that no parking at all is necessary, since that's not what they found.

They simply found that you have have a bit less parking than what the code required if you implement it in a way where you need an exception - presumably to show that in this case you don't need it.

The code is a bit of a blunt instrument and giving some flexibility to it seems logical. Getting rid entirely of parking minimums does not.

Also nowhere in this do I see a survey of residents to see how they like living in these lower-parking homes. People might be very very annoyed, but just deal with it because they have no other good option.

Jan and Ilya were the leads of the superalignment team set up in July of 2023.

https://openai.com/index/introducing-superalignment/

"Our goal is to solve the core technical challenges of superintelligence alignment in four years.

While this is an incredibly ambitious goal and we’re not guaranteed to succeed, we are optimistic that a focused, concerted effort can solve this problem:C There are many ideas that have shown promise in preliminary experiments, we have increasingly useful metrics for progress, and we can use today’s models to study many of these problems empirically.

Ilya Sutskever (cofounder and Chief Scientist of OpenAI) has made this his core research focus, and will be co-leading the team with Jan Leike (Head of Alignment). Joining the team are researchers and engineers from our previous alignment team, as well as researchers from other teams across the company."

What is this?
The general advice (at least from everything I've seen) is that you can and should remove your eclipse glasses during totality; after all, the bright surface of the sun is totally blocked.

I personally looked into the research on solar eye damage a few years ago (when the 2017 eclipse fervor had died down), and my impression is that all recorded cases result from focusing directly at the sun for at least several seconds straight; glancing very briefly at the sun, or seeing it in your peripheral vision, is only uncomfortable at worst. Eye damage is mainly associated with eclipses since they motivate many people to stare at the sun, rather than the partially-eclipsed sun being uniquely dangerous to look at. But when the time comes around, the messaging gets very black-and-white, as you said.

(Not that it's a bad idea to avoid looking at the sun as much as possible!)
