I have the feeling these comments went from overwhelmingly hateful tu overwhelmingly praiseful. I don't know how they managed that transition. Moderation or culture change? They are useless either way.
Smells like the late 90s dot com bubble!

Everyone on the bandwagon.

Put out a landing page with AI on it and ride the hype train.

MS are pouring a lot into this - can they sustain it!
I think it's closer to tracing. If the end result of following an AI is capped by being somewhat flawed or the artist not learning certain skills, is that a bad thing? I see it as a limitation instead of a negative. Copying AI art can only get someone so far. The best results will come from the artist making their own decisions.
Had me until the last sentence, it's not a requirement (especially at current quantities) it's a preference.
>Right now, education focuses on getting people through the system so they can attain a credential. It teaches us, primarily, how to get one over on the system, how to look for loopholes and shortcuts. It creates a culture of corruption, of looking for approval from institutions in order to move up in life.

That feels like a very uni-dimensional view
Are you Elon's friend or relative? Logically, other people's opinions about him shouldn't concern you at all. Yet here you are white knighting someone who's just the CEO of a scaled text messaging app. Why do you care?
> Do they expect anybody to believe they didn’t know about clawback clauses?

Why wouldn’t they? I’m sure you can think of a couple of politicians and CEOs who in recent years have clearly demonstrated that no matter what they do or say, they will have a strong core of rabid fans eating their every word and defending them.
It's better to check whether it's true
It's an interesting question. Employees have to generate more value for the employer than the employer pays the employee, otherwise the employer won't employ the employee, or they will go bankrupt.

So let's say you have someone that's getting the $2000/mo from the government for assistance. Amazon hires them and pays them $1000/mo, the only way this makes sense for Amazon is if they can extract more than $1000/mo of value out of that employee.

I think where the disconnect is in a lot of these conversations is how much value is being extracted.

Let's say an employee earning $1000/mo generates $1500/mo of value for Amazon. Then the fact that the government has to support them to the tune of $1000/mo as well might be acceptable. Amazon gets profit, government (and the tax payers) have to spend $1000/mo less, employee gets enough money to live. Everyone is happy.

Let's say an employee earning $1000/mo generates $5000/mo of value for Amazon. This scenario is a bit harder to accept, why should the tax payers have to subsidize those low wages when Amazon could pay $2000/mo and still make a healthy profit?

The problem is that that figure, "how much value does an employee generate?" is hard to come by. You can get more aggregate figures https://csimarket.com/stocks/AMZN-Revenue-per-Employee.html which tell us that every employee generates on average $326,428 but it is harder to find details on "How much value does an amazon warehouse worker generate?"

So it all hinges on how much value Amazon extracts from the worker. If it's $50/mo then I don't think anyone is picking up their pitchforks. If it's $4000/mo and they've decided that they can squeeze their workforce because the tax payer will pick up the slack and they can pocket the difference, then pitchforks come out.
Yes, but the public memory is increasingly short.
I think someone mentioned possible mental health conditions that she might have. But in either case it is pure speculation and we're random people on the internet, not legal investigators, for better or worse.

The FTC leadership has made a number of strange (and in my opinion poor) decisions, beginning with insulting and alienating the agency staff, which had experience that the political appointees lacked. They then proceeded to act without regard to previous agency experience. At this point, it seems like they’re just trying to get their political goals back on track, though it seems a bit late, given that administrations are generally most effective at their beginnings.
I have very mixed thoughts about headers, there is something I kind of love about being able to document the public declarations in one slim text file; and put the definitions elsewhere. There are lots of ways to do that, but other languages don't seem to bother. There are automated solutions, to pull these out, but I rarely see, for example, a python file will often just be a series of functions with no way to tell.

But they have a ton of warts, and require duplicate maintenance.

Crying out for regulation. It would be amusing but also sad to watch the agencies in farming compete with the FCC on this.

Farming tech is strategic tech. It's national interest override stuff. Deere needs to back down or be overridden.
I taught "College Algebra" at a Big Ten university for one semester, 25+ years ago, when I was in between jobs.

The Freshmen took a math test during orientation and were slotted into either Remedial, College Algebra, or Calculus.

It's my understanding that the curriculum of College Algebra is the bare minimum of topics that must be taught in order to offer the course for credit at an accredited college. This explains why the topics are seemingly drawn at random, with little flexibility.

The lower level "remedial" courses were offered but did not come with credit. You still had to pass College Algebra in order to graduate. Or I think maybe Statistics.

The education system has struggled to teach math since time immoral. Every generation tries some new method, and is ultimately declared a failure. I don't have a good answer. Most adults retain barely any of their high school or college math, including people in STEM occupations. I've heard "I'm not really a math person" from engineers. Parents remember how their math was taught, and complain when their kids aren't learning math the same way, but frankly the parents are terrible at math.
Leader in the next generation!
That is by design, no? Sherman act does not address a lot of modern anti-trust, as you mentioned. We need new legislation.

Judges can just as easily find pet causes that don’t align with your interests, I don’t think that’s the mechanism you or I want our country to rely on.
> This contrasts to a book, which has interesting parts but the reader must follow as it is written and does not jump around.

Why must one read linearly cover to cover? The reader has no such obligation to the writer once he has paid for the book. One could always just read randomly chosen sections of a book.

> PTHash and other minimum perfect hash functions return an arbitrary value if the query key did not exist when building the MPHF, so they can be a lot smaller. B-field can identify query keys that don't exist in the set (with high probability?).

Yes, exactly.

> What I'm wondering is why the Kraken2 probabilistic hash table doesn't work.

I just skimmed the paper again (has been a while since a close reading), but my refreshed understanding is:

* Like the B-field, there are also false positives.

* When multiple hashed keys (k-mers) collide in the Kraken2 hash table, it has to store a "reduced" value for those key-value pairs. While there's an elegant solution for this issue for the problem of taxonomic classification (lowest common ancestor), it still results in a loss of specificity. There's a similar issue with "indeterminate" results in the B-field, but this rate can be reduced to ~0 with secondary arrays.

* The original Kraken2 paper describes using 17 bits for taxonomic IDs (~131K unique values). I don't know how many tax IDs current Kraken2 DB builds use offhand, but the error rate climbs significantly as you use additional bits for the value vs. key (e.g., to represent >=2^20 values, see Fig S4). I don't have a good sense for the performance and other engineering tradeoffs of just extending the hash code >32 bits. I also don't know what the data structure overhead is beyond those >32 bits/pair.

So, for a metagenomics classifier specifically, some subtle tradeoffs but honestly database quality and the classification algorithm likely matters a lot more than the marginal FP rates with either data structure -- we just happen to have come to this solution.

For other applications, my sense is a B-field is generally going to be much more flexible (e.g., supporting arbitrary keys vs. a specific fixed-length encoding) but of course it depends on the specifics.
technically you are correct but this isn't a thread of lawyers/attorneys, this is a thread with higher than average autism. Cleaving words and being clever with 'harmless' misdirection and turn of phrase is not welcome.
Having an ex-Googler on board could be seen as a potential yellow flag, as it opens the door to the future 'Google-ification' of things! But hey, let's give them the benefit of the doubt and hope they've seen the light since departing the Googleplex. After all, everyone deserves a chance to turn over a new leaf!
The individuals at google are largely not responsible for various business transgressions you might have. There are plenty of people trying to do their best in the environment they were in. Ex-Googlers aren't inherently people who want to be shady, there is no reason to assume this business would be any shadier than any other Silicon Valley business.

> The official Clojure CLI, for example, is just plain confusing, and that's most people's first impression to the entire ecosystem. The config files, while they use the wonderful `.edn` format, are also not intuitive.

I completely agree; it is unfortunate they don't spend more time officially recommending leiningen.org. A beginner attempting to use the built-in CLI is going to lead to a poor first 3 months.
People always interested and fascinated by the algorithm whenever it comes up. Dang makes the (correct) assertion that people will much more easily game it if they know the intricacies. PG always churlishly jumps in to say there’s nothing interesting about it and any discussion of it is boring.

Pretty asinine response but I work in Hollywood and each studio lot has public tours giving anyone that wants a glimpse behind the curtain. On my shows, we’ve even allowed those people to get off the studio golf cart to peek inside at our active set. Even answering questions they have about what they see which sometimes explains Hollywood trickery.

I’m sure there’s tons of young programmers that would love to see and understand how such a long-lasting great community like this one persists.
Kind of funny to see a comment that completely ignores the idea of distributions and outliers in a thread talking about math.
It doesn't matter because they hold all of the cards. It's the nature of power: you can get away with things that you normally couldn't. If you really want OpenAI to behave, you'll support their competitors and/or open source initiatives.
This is the kind of claim that would benefit from backing data.

The monopoly is really the artists, who then delegate to the venues. Like, Bruce Springsteen ticket prices are high because only he is Bruce Springsteen and nobody else is. The real monopoly is on being Bruce Springsteen. Prices are high because of supply and demand for that artist; Bruce Springsteen can only put on so many shows for so many seats and there is far more demand than that, no matter who is selling the tickets.

Live Nation-Ticketmaster only gets the monopoly power delegated from the artists and venues. If you break that up into competing ticket providers, that doesn't do anything to the underlying prices, tickets will still be resold on secondary markets until the prices reach supply-demand equilibrium.

Busting LN-TM hypothetically doesn't even do anything to the fees. The market is set by what customers will pay, and it doesn't matter to them what the breakdown is between going to the middlemen or going to the artist. At most, busting LN-TM does create competition for lower fees, so that the artist gets more of the revenue. But it's not clear at all that that's a matter for courts to forcibly impose.

(I see the downvotes. The Internet hivemind will always think it's entitled to ignore the laws of supply and demand, even on HN. Ticket prices are high because demand exceeds supply and customers choose to pay it, not because of a monopolistic reseller entity.)
Eh, insightful and thoughtful videos tend to have better comments than the low brow videos, but they're still not useful. The best of them read like a decent-but-not-great subreddit's comment thread.

Taking one example, 3Blue1Brown's Deep Learning series, episode 6. Here are the top few comments [0]:

> I'm a university lecturer with a PhD in AI, and I cannot compete with the quality of this work. Videos like this put the entire higher education system to shame. Fantastic!

This is a nice comment, but doesn't contribute anything to my day. I'm sure the creator is glad to see it and I'm glad someone said it, but I don't need to read it.

> Are you kidding me? ONE WEEK FOR 2 MASTERPIECES?!

> Thank you so much!

Same story.

> I've got to say - "Attention Is All You Need" is an incredible title for a research paper.

And now we're down to the reddit comments.

> As a graduating PhD student working in Natural Language Processing, I still found that video to be extremely beneficial. Awesome!

Nice.

> 3b1b is the only content producer whose videos I start by first making coffee, then upvoting, then hitting the play button.

Nice.

> Attention existed before the 2017 paper "Attention Is All You Need".

> The main contribution was that attention was... all you needed for sequence processing (you didn't need recurrence). Self-attention specifically was novel though.

Finally a comment that contributed something. Not much, mind you (the video doesn't actually claim otherwise), but something.

Unfortunately, that's it. I kept scrolling for a while longer through pages and pages of thank-yous. And that's typically my experience with comments on thoughtful videos. It's not usually like the HN comments where you can actually get a lot of value from the comments alone, they're just... shallow. Sometimes nice shallow, but still shallow.

> Your workers are a tiny portion of your customer base. Let some other sap pay theirs well.

Other companies notice your "brilliant" strategy and start adopting it, and now your sales are in terminal decline as your customer base is impoverished. Short-term thinking is the Achilles heel of modern capitalism. Unless of course the new economy is automated companies trading with other automated companies; maximizing shareholder value as the human race withers away. This reminds me a short story of a damaged ambulatory AI space-suit carrying an injured and dying/dead astronaut over the surface of a desolate planet to get to "civilization" thousands of miles away.
I was just looking at that last night.

[Artist that was super popular in 2006ish] tickets when we went at the absolute height of his popularity were $40 for lawn seats at a local venue

[Same artist] at the same venue in the same lawn seating is now $380.

What's the difference? Guess who bought the venue.
IMHO HN data should be transparent.

The innovation on detecting patterns would be incredible, and in reality I think would be best to evolve into allowing user-decided algorithms that they personally subscribe to.

it’s the same as the tech lax dresscode, super high salaries, benefits, overall relaxed “we can get away with it because we’re both high status and enlightened” that operates as a signal to their assumed superiority.
It’s pretty obvious a lot of accidents were not reported to any authority, or “reclassified” as something not requiring it. If the government really starts looking they will see a lot of questionable activity.
It's reasonable for you to offer your firsthand experience. It's unreasonable for you to think that you can offer a determination broader than that experience.

Tech specs mentions Matter on their website.
It adds tiling to floating window managers like openbox, xfwm, and kwin, giving tiling to more mainstream desktop environments like GNOME, XFCE, and KDE. It's not really made for i3 users I think.

I guess the advantage over i3 would be that those desktop environments have better integration with certain apps and a coherent look and feel. For example, on Ubuntu, which uses a modified GNOME, you can add tiling while still enjoying stuff like the volume control widget, gnome-control-center, consistent file open dialogs, and so on.

Saw this recently. If I had to guess, this is a (heavily marked up) rebadging of a Midea or Gree [1] unit with some software around it.

Nothing wrong with Midea or Gree, though they tend to be considered to be second-tier to Mitsubishi and Fujitsu, but the markup seems quite a bit for a marginally (debatable) better appearance.

[1]: When you see a mini-split, if it's not Mitsubishi, Fujitsu, or Daikin, it's likely made by Midea or Gree.
I've been eyeing Mr Cool's DIY flush mount units.

https://mrcool.com/diy-ceiling-cassette/

I have a 100+ y/o farm house, so retrofitting can require some creativity. These recessed units should work, but I'm also toying with the idea of integrating mini-splits into built-in cabinets/dressers. I've been obsessed with greeting a nice large format wood CNC and I like the idea of hiding the return unit behind cosmetic panels.
I totally think we'll get there, I just don't think we're there yet.

I really think the next step is a heavily AI-integrated version of D&D where the DM can serve as a "filter" for some of the more unhinged output (where appropriate; an intentionally incoherent goblin with some text-to-speech could be phenomenal).

I think that's about where we're at, and I'm expecting a wave of "AI-enhanced" D&D apps any day now. They probably already exist and I just haven't seen them. I would imagine there are still occasional issues with the AI utterly choking; I see it every once in a while on some of my more "fantasy" prompts where I get too specific and it just ignores what I asked.
Isn’t that like saying Apple’s iPads will only maintain a moat for a few more years because MS Surface tablets match in hardware and “only” lag in software? My general point is that the core software (and the software ecosystem built around it) is half of the product. NVIDIA isn’t going to stand still either.

It takes years to build a new fab. The market has no patience for that.

Intel is the cheapest tech company by a huge margin if look at book value.

Those fabs are expensive, but even if nobody wants Intel processors anymore, they could even manufacture Ryzen's.

The downside is that it takes 3-5 years to make profit on a fab, it's easier to be NVidia in that sense, but I wonder if it's sustainable in the long run.
