> Now there's effectively no way to know if a baked product will actually contain sesame, so you either get to eat nothing or take the chance.

If they never properly checked their production lines to ensure products without sesame don't contain sesame, there never was an effective way to know that you're not getting a surprise seed in your non-sesame-labeled food.
I’ve toured the SpaceX factory in Hawthorne, it was pretty cool. Was inches away from a guy cranking a wrench on a previously flown rocket engine, it was extremely cool.
> This guy has it all backwards. No developer in his right mind is going to plow billions of dollars into high density housing without existing rail access.

this is the default option? build a big complex with a courtyard, then surround it with a parking lot or dedicate 1/4 of the building to a garage.

I'm interested to see what happens with the new potomac yards wmata stop. I appreciate they are trying to expand rail in anticipation of growth, but it looks kinda dumb right now. it's a good 15 minute walk through parking lots to get to the nearest store or apartment building. you would never use that stop if you could afford a car. to be fair, the station just opened. it could look very different in 5-10 years. if they waited for it to densify first, people might be complaining about how much more expensive the station was.
Looks like a very clever project. Terasic makes some nice dev boards. Best of luck to you Dean!
I have 25 years of coding experience, built two successful businesses, and I have no idea what this thing is supposed to do.
> what this has to do with congestion pricing

Try a web search for geo-fencing, which is closely coupled to modern technology for enforcement of geo boundaries that are not gated by a physical barrier.

Manhattan Central Business District (CBD) is defined as "Manhattan south of and inclusive of 60th St" excluding some through-traffic highways.

> don't think anybody would described Manhattan’s CBD as their favorite neighborhood

It includes neighborhoods such as these, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Manhattan_neighborhood...

Chelsea
Chinatown
Flatiron
Greenwich Village
Koreatown
Little Italy
Lower East Side
NoLita
SoHo
Tribeca
The part I’m dubious about is there being any notable effect on prices.

I don’t personally see the congestion charge as dishonest. You can see it as a quasi-tax, certainly, but provisions like off peaking pricing and credit for using the tunnels means that it has positive side effects a straightforward tax wouldn’t.
If there's no way to disambiguate "actually contains allergen X" and "almost certainly doesn't contain allergen X," then rather than being extra-cautious, eventually consumers may come to carelessly disregard the warning text, assuming (correctly) that it most likely falls under the second case. The harm ensues when the heuristic fails.
Sorry about this – working on fixing the issue with hitting the context limit. Gemma 2 supports a 8192 context limit – which can be selected if you provide the `num_ctx` parameter in the API or via `ollama run` with `/set parameter num_ctx 8192`

They should just have huge "The state of California contains..." signs all around the state borders.
That's a completely silly response, but I'll give you points for at least making me wonder how they collect trash in Venice. Turns out that:

a) it's a huge problem in the canal district (thus making my point)

b) they have boats with trash compactors:

Fair enough, though I was really just saying that simply because they are doing something simple doesn't mean that don't (or, more importantly, won't) do something complex. In the LWN article discussion it's mentioned that Apple doesn't like obfuscation, presumably this means they can detect some forms of it.

Put another way: if it was my app, and this string wasn't important to me, I wouldn't want it obfuscated, I'd want it removed.
What?

Silicone hardware generates heat.

Neither silicone hardware nor tube hardware goes literally cold in a cold boot; just the power is cut for a moment, usually not long enough to lose a lot of heat.
I would recommend that you try and get as much information ahead of time as you can. How long is the PIP process? For the size of your company, I would guess about 30 days. What are the motives of the department head? PIPs can be a formality for letting someone go, but not always. Try and gauge if the department head has already made up their mind and if your manager will be in your corner. Use your gut to determine how you want to spend the duration of your PIP, will you phone it in and use your energy to look for another job, or will you use it to try and secure your current position. When the conversations with HR start, there will be a process of defining what your performance problems are and what the process will be to try and improve your performance. Get your need for more coaching on the actual plan in writing.
My kobo spends more time with me than my phone. On my phone are utility apps and WhatsApp, nothing else. But I have my whole fiction library on the Kobo and starting to read is as easy as pressing the power button to get out of standby mode. My phone browser is pretty much only for hacker news for when I'm on the couch or my bed.
Think of feature flags as remote-toggleable IF statements.
I'd say the porting is better. I've gone a ways into using GToolkit, and it has some very nice things. I especially like the infinite nesting of editors, which is like transclusion on steroids, and the driller. And it's already language agnostic and very extendable.

But when it comes to actually extending it, that's where the sharp edges start to cut. I was able to do a fairly quick, enhanced Python support extension, but one of the issues is getting proper class equivalence, and the back-and-forth passage of data is a major performance suck. Also things will grind to a halt if you push and try to process too much data at once on the Smalltalk side. Maybe having a fairly beefy machine will help with that though.
there is at least $2 bln hole due to loss of CP, even after excluding all capital projects and new equipment purchases. And equipment replacement is operational cost, it is not capital project, because in every organization part some part of budget msut be allocated for equipment replacement.

TLDR TLDR: Assuming we dont argue right/wrong, technically everything an LLM does is a hallucination. This completely dilutes the meaning of the word no?

TLDR: Sure. A rose by any other name would be just as sweet. It’s when I use the name of the rose and imply aspects that are not present, that we create confusion and busy work.

Hey, calling it a narrative is to move it to PR speak. I know people have argued this term was incorrect since the first times it was ever shared on HN.

It was unpopular to say this when ChatGPT launched, because chatGPT was just that. freaking. cool.

It is still cool.

But it is not AGI. It does not “think”.

Hell - I understand that we will be doing multiple columns of turtles all the way down. I have a different name for this approach - statistical committees.

Because we couched its work in terms of “thinking”, “logic”, “creativity”, we have dumped countless man hours and money into avenues which are not fruitful. And this isnt just me saying it - even Ilya commented during some event that many people can create PoCs, but there are very few production grade tools.

Regarding the L in ML, and the I in AI ->

1) ML and AI were never quite as believable as ChatGPT. Calling it learning and intelligence doesnt result in the same level of ambiguity.

2) A little bit of anthropomorphizing was going on.

Terms matter, especially at the start. New things get understood over time, as we progress we do move to better terms. Let’s use hallucinations for when a digital system really starts hallucinating.
Been using tumbleweed for my personal computer for years. Very solid.
It's a valid point. Another valid point is at that time it was known the FDA had a history of approving addictive drugs. It is not evidence based to trust FDA over hundreds of years of history countering otherwise. I knew LOTS of people who turned down or tossed opiate scripts during that time because the long history was obvious to anyone with half a brain.
I don't care if it moves prices one millionth of a penny, or ten dollars. That billion dollars of extra MTA revenue was coming from somewhere, and it was mostly going to come from locals, even if it meant that we're all paying a fraction of a cent more per sheet for toilet paper. The worst taxes are the ones that are regressive and secret.
So you're running your dishwashers inefficiently. It really does feel like a "big deal". You use more water, more salt/dishwasher cleaning chemicals, and more electricity on empty runs. The clean dishes and utensils getting extra wash degrade faster, the machine itself wears off faster too.

Maybe one day someone makes a dishwasher that can do continuous washing efficiently, dynamically adjusting for the number, type and locations of the dirty kitchenware. Until then, it feels super wasteful.
that's a whole different story too - storage is still manageable but taking up huge chunks of RAM means the daily usage can get affected easily.
if prices don't move then you are basically stealing money from those who pay (delivery drivers, blue collar workers, contractors), who are not rich enough to live on Manhattan - to subsidize transit for affluent Manhattan residents
Impact on Uber/Lyft drivers?
You might be partially right, but McKinsey Senior Partners have a very long list of friends to call, many of them former McKinseys in positions of power. So while the shitty PowerPoint might seem as the product, the actual product might be trafficking influences and coordinating favors, getting insider information from a competitor, etc.

In this case in particular, if memory serves, they were advising the FDA in parallel, and leaking information to the Purdues. No brain-dead 24yo Harvard grad did that.

I would not give them any slack.
There's been kind of a silver lining consumer benefit, historically. In early years, SIM locking allowed carriers in Europe to subsidize device cost based on expected revenue, effectively offering financing outside of the financial system, and benefiting a set of customers who wouldn't otherwise have been eligible for normal credit.
No, you have the moral responsibility to not steal and no inalienable right to consume all media you can get your hands on.
Over many years I've made several attempts to contribute to GNU projects and I don't think I've ever succeeded. At some point I started to wonder if I just suck at all this. I don't seem to encounter any problems when I interact with any other project though so that can't be it.

And I don't mean simple reports either, I mean I've sent patches which ranged from bug fixes to minor and major features. Most recent example: sent a patch that added a separate path variable to bash specifically for sourcing bash scripts, thereby creating a simple library/module system. At some point people called my idea "schizophrenic" and I just left.

I was developing some GCC patches to add builtins that emit Linux system call code. This is just something I'm personally interested in. Lost the work when my hard drive crashed and I'm unsure whether to restart that little project. The people on the mailing list didn't seem to agree with it very much when I tried to justify it.

Honestly the idea that I might spend all this time and effort figuring out and hacking on the absolutely gigantic GCC codebase, only to end up with zero results to show for it, makes complaining on internet forums a very attractive alternative. Who knows, maybe someone who's already involved will read the comments and be convinced. Someone like you.
To get feature parity, you still need an IDL to generate types/classes for multiple languages. You could use JSON Schema for that.

Websockets do not follow a request/reply semantics, so you'd have to write that yourself. I'd prefer not to write my own RPC protocol on top of websockets. That said, I'm sure there are some off the shelf frameworks out there, but do they have the same cross-language compatibility as protobuf + gRPC? I don't think "just use JSON with websockets" is such a simple suggestion.

Of course, gRPC does have some of its own problems. The in-browser support is not great (non-existent without a compatibility layer?) last time I checked.
Reddit is cracking down on political talk tonight
Reddit is actively filtering political subs from users home pages and comments/posts are not displaying on politically oriented subs. Regardless of your opinion on the debate I feel like we should support the right to free and open discussion. This post feels rather immature for HN but I am curious how everyone feels about this form of tech censorship.
... Everyone doesn't...

There's plenty of heavy-hitters on Linux natively now, including DaVinci Resolve (Hollywood's #1 post tool), Bitwig, Studio One, Reaper et al. Even Unreal Engine. Blender perf is much better on Linux too.

Same as you. The rare times I have to ride something, I go the audiobooks route.
Surely this is a queuing problem, and must be solved accordingly.

After all, the universe has only two kinds of problems: those solved by queuing theory, and those solved by category theory. Or so hanging out on HN would have me believe.
I’m sorry… you’re suggesting congestion charging would take money from poor car drivers and give it to affluent transit riders?

By any data available that’s entirely backwards. Cars in the CBD are disproportionately driven by the affluent, transit is disproportionately taken by the poor.
Yep, my parents are on Starlink right now and are loving it.

GP was saying that fiber is coming to all rural areas though, so I was wondering if there was any truth to it.

Personally I think anywhere that has copper right now (and my parents do have an old crusty POTS line running to their home) should be built up to fiber - if we could do it before we should be able to do it again.
They got DPR that way. Distracted him at a coffee shop while he was logged into his computer and snatched it. If he had just been at home on a VPN, he probably wouldn't have gotten snagged. They knew who he was already but needed that laptop to prove it.

Thanks! If you have a moment can you give me a quick explainer on what happens when you hit the context limit in ollama? I had assumed that ollama would just trunc the context to whatever is set in the model, but I guess this isn't the case?

I use Thunderbird to read my GMail accounts. The web browsers take up too much RAM, but I think (I am not 100% certain) that reading IMAP GMAIL in Thunderbird takes up less RAM.
Manual trigger via shortcut key made it a useful tool I reach for in certain contexts.

Automatic not being useful was the least of the issue, it used crazy CPU, slowed down the IDE, and drained my battery too.
It's pathetic, so many areas got copper POTS but will never get fiber.

I'm sorry. I meant it as a joke, thinking most of the audience here would find it ridiculous. I didn't consider this. My apologies.
why do people have to be so damn greeedy. $900m on 500 patients is just asking to get caught. Even if all 500 patients had cancer and tripple bypass surgery, and required lengthy ICU stays, their costs will still barely be that.

Why can't scammer just exercise some moderation and they get to keep scamming for a long time. No, they have to just get greedy. Greed always get you caught

Gabapentoids (e.g. pregabalin, gabapentin) need similar scrutiny, as they are routinely prescribed to millions of elderly people, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7265598/

> gabapentinoids are increasingly being used for off-label conditions despite the lack of evidence. Prescription rates for off-label conditions have overtaken that for on-label use. Similarly, the use of gabapentinoids in the perioperative period is now embedded in clinical practice despite conflicting evidence. This article summarises the risks associated with this increasing use. There is increasing evidence of the potential to cause harm in vulnerable populations such as the elderly and increasing prevalence of abuse. The risk of respiratory depression in combination with opioids is of particular concern in the context of the current opioid crisis.
You're trying to condemn prescriptivism? What's your point -- some things can't be diagrammed? Who said they could be?

The first one is deliberately "wrong" for advertising effect, like

"Winston tastes good, like a cigarette should." when the correct English is

"Winston tastes good, as a cigarette should."

The ad copywriters liked how it sounded.
True though I'm in tech fields and I've always known I wanted to end up there. In work I wouldn't have had any benefit from it, but I have had more exposure to Latin languages than expected :)
Like how we passed regulation to get to this point? And we will pass regulation for the new loophole created by this regulation, right? And we'll keep doing this, as the overhead to comply with regulation gradually increases and prevents small competitors from entering the market as they cannot afford to meet the regulation overhead? Of course, we will address this problem with new regulation.
> If you can buy the product with the added sesame you could also buy the product without the added sesame, could't you?

No. That does not follow.

Before, with "may contain sesame" the product might or might not contain enough sesame to trigger your reaction as it was completely uncontrolled. Sure, 99 times out of 100 it was fine but when somebody ran sesame burger buns on the third shift it would make you barf for 48 hours. You simply cannot eat that product on the off chance that it might be bad even though 99% of the time it is fine.

After, you know there is exactly X amount of sesame and never more than that. You can test the product once and it either affects you or it doesn't. At that point if it doesn't affect you, you can buy the product and be confident that it won't change.

How are LLMs not behaving factually? They already predict the next most likely term.

If they could predict facts, then these would be gods, not machines. It would be saying that in all the written content we have, there exists a pattern that allows us to predict all answers to questions we may have.
The first things I disable are justified text and hyphenation. And for some books, I disable the embedded styles when I'm reading (koreader). Some books markups are really bad so I don't have much hope for automated typesetting.
On the ground however, they learn both. Or I should say if you find someone who is exclusive to one or the other language (which happens), they aren't much of a programmer to begin with. There is a whole food chain essentially in life sciences in academia with computer knowledge. There are those who write the tooling, who are perhaps so abstracted they don't know the underlying biology and vet their tooling based on simulated data and a comparison with existing tooling, toiling in their own castles on tooling that might not ever see a real dataset. There are those who use the tooling to create novel pipelines to analyze data and draw conclusions based on their own or their collaborators literature research or life science perspectives, they might not care if the finding is truly novel or if its merely proving an existing gumption with a tool that hasn't yet been applied to an existing dataset. Then there are also those who run the pipelines created by others within their research group, sometimes others who have long left that given research group, with brittle hardcoded paths and other "DO NOT TOUCH" segments in a massive single 2500 line file that gurgitates some plots from a standard sort of csv file as input.
