Actually no that’s not how it works. ICEs being inefficient actually reduces the relative impact of increasing drag vs EVs.

Which is an approach that is likely to shoot those models in the foot unless stability-AI gets a lot better at finetuning.

Interesting how much tech scene has a hero complex. Always believing we can change the world so easy.

Why do other professions not have the same hero complex?
How do you know if an article is good or not? You have to waste your time reading at least some of it. I've found it useful to have ChatGPT generate a summary, then if the summary sounds interesting, then I read it.
How would a 360 camera with stereoscopic vision work?
How is that weird? Current energy consumption levels for LLMs are definitely problematic. That's not to say they can't improve, but at the moment it's definitely bad. The estimate of ongoing power consumption for Google's AI summary feature, if it was made available for every search result, is roughly equivalent to the consumption level of the entire country of Ireland. That's not awesome given most of the world is not powered by renewable energy sources.
The community here keeps impressing me. Nice job!

Yes it could be several years, however the expected value is less than a year. Just like the expected dice rolls before rolling 6 is 6.
This is a long winded “permission slip” to avoid any personal responsibility for our actions. The fact is whether it’s eating beef or writing code for Raytheon you actually do have free will. The HN and tech crowd is also far more educated and empowered (individually and collectively) than the author would have us believe.
I'm guessing because perplexity is now based on llama 3. If you look at their labs [1] the choices of models seems to suggest this.

Spying should fight and kill corruption. Period.
I can't see the next generation of the Sony Playstation console be as successful as the PS5 in my area if they abandon physical media altogether. A lot of people still use console games because they can sell and buy games second hand.

The price would need to go down to a spotify/netflix monthly subscription for people to use a console without physical medias in my area.
Yes, the eternal struggle of the hypocrite who needs to reconcile his own bizarre world view with the fact that most of his time is spent perpetuating the power of the people who he claims to be his opponents.

I can confess to you why I work as an engineer, because I love doing it. That is absolutely all there is to it, it's not for the money or some political program I need to reconcile with my daily activity.
> I actually would disagree with you that this specific issue was an instance of (1). There wasn't anything wrong with the query per se

I think OP's #1 agrees that there's nothing "technically" wrong with such a query (or an algo). It just generated work you didn't have to do. Work takes time. So you used time you didn't have to use. I also think this is the number 1 way of improving performance in general (computer, life).

A perfectly valid query of fetching 1M rows turned into 99.xxx% unnecessary work when you only needed a handful of rows. The query wasn't slow, it was just generating more work than you actually needed. The network also wasn't slow, it simply had to transfer (even at peak theoretical efficiency) a lot of data you never used.

You then used an equally valid query that wasn't even necessarily fast, it just generated much less work. This query (quote from #1) "eliminate[d] some work entirely", the work of carrying over unnecessary data.
light has no rest mass, and how often have you seen a photon at rest?
We are about to lose that power, like Gunpowder it will be democratized.

Our special power was the full access to general purpose compute, which made us powerful gatekeepers to it. We dole it out in small, purpose bound chunks via interfaces.

And within a year from now, real time, purpose bound, personalized (“remember, bad eyesight”) and situational interfaces can be synthesized directly.

Not reliably it first but Claude is getting pretty damn good.

We won’t be extinct, but our main source of monopoly power is going to erode, massively.
Don't look at what it says, look at how it's written:

> While they do this, they also use vast amounts of energy and are happy using all the GPUs you can throw at them which is a problem we’ve seen before in the field of cryptocurrencies.

"Vast amounts of energy", "happy using all the GPUs you can throw at them", and then the random cryptocurrency reference to evoke all the bad stuff associated with those.
This is written in a way that makes it clear that the author does not like the energy usage aspects of LLMs.

But is he wrong?
For fictional/narrative content, sure; reading the Cliff notes version is missing out on the full experience.

But for a lot of non-fiction content, I think it's perfectly legitimate and common to have some specific piece of information you're looking to extract, or want a rundown of key highlights.

For both, I'd say it could also help in choosing which content to read. Books already typically have a form of summary on the back. If you're researching something, you're going to have to determine which articles are relevant before reading every article top to bottom - and a summary seems helpful for that.
(Somebody upthread - aptly - mentioned non-US keyboard layouts were a problem for these sort of setups [so far] ...)
Sure, but it's a bit too "under the hood" to mention in something like this, no?

It depends. Cheap pressings of optical media experience bitrot. I'm certain some of my bootleg DVDs are functionally unreadable now but were usable in the past.
Sony is not the sole producer of recordable Blu-ray media though, right? This concerns a Japanese factory and the BD-R I have in front of me says Made in Vietnam.
They said it's illegal to install a grid-charged battery backup.

How is that opting out of the grid?

Are you sure you're answering the question that was asked?
From my research into it some time ago - BDXL quad layer(128GB) BD-Rs are made basically in the same technology as M-Disc, so they should last hundreds of years, so that's all I've been using for my archival needs so far. Getting them from Amazon japan is pretty cost effective too.
Yes. Cars use more energy than LLMs, we don't mind those.

What does "a lot of energy" even mean? It's meaningless. Do they use too much energy for their usefulness? If they did, people wouldn't be using them.
Deactivating an API, one step at a time
As long as they do things that the Lib Dems, SNP, Plaid, Greens and long tail of "left/progressive" candidates agree with then they have the support of a majority of votes (they only need Lib-Dem and Green for over 50%) and will get an overwhelming number of MPs supporting their motions.

They don't need to do that, due to the flawed system, but it seems likely in most cases.
The same mentality everywhere, really, not just software.

Doctors ask "have you ever treated a patient?"

Pilots ask "how many flights have you flown?"
By choosing data sources that respect its readers, the same way I pick lean code architectures rather than pile on more and more layers that require additional tools to deal with the bloat.
> The only viable option for keeping data, if you give it serious thought, is recordable Bluray.

I believe you meant M-disc.
Skim read, like normal people?
I've noticed lately many people here tend to hate on LLM's and downvote any dissenting opinion into oblivion without a reply.

I thought I'd share this repository which contains a lot of stuff ARM has been working on for morello.

Indeed, where would the Ukraine, Taiwan, or even South Korea be today if it weren't for the defense industry? Unfortunately the only way to achieve peace is to prepare for war.

What I think what poisons the whole thing is a cultural attitude which poisons all of capitalism: the mantra that any company's job is to maximize shareholder value in any way that's legal (or worse, that they can get away with).

Suppose there are two defense contacting companies. One has the attitude of, "War is terrible, and all of us should do everything we can to minimize it; but in the unfortunate event that war should become necessary, we want to be prepared to win it."

The other has the attitude of, "Our job is to maximize shareholder value. We do that by selling more equipment and better equipment. We sell more equipment when that equipment is being used and/or destroyed, and we sell better equipment when there's a pressing need, like an ongoing war. So to maximize shareholder value, we should by any means we can get away with, encourage war, or at least or the threat of war."

It's the unfortunate way that capitalism works that the second company will probably make more profit, which will give them more power and influence, which will then feed into more war, and will also put financial pressure on the first company to follow suit, and be more hawkish than they would perhaps otherwise be.

So what do you do if you believe in pursuing peace but being prepared for war? Work with a company that is hawkish, and actually encourages war? Or refuse to work for any defense contractor at all?
Yeah, I don’t know why their API is inferior to the UI. Pretty disappointing. I’ve had better luck with my own “clone” that makes a web search and summarizes the results into an answer.
"Why it is okay to enjoy every single benefit capitalism brings, although I am opposing capitalism", is one of the oldest tropes of anti-capitalist literature.

It would be so easy to admit that you are doing it because your own personal satisfaction outweighs some ultimately vague political position, but of course admitting that to yourself can be hard.
On the other hand, millions of people are using it everyday as their primary comm app.

Discord does a lot more than a typical chat app like messenger/whataspp and thus UI is more complex. But it is not bad; let alone pretty bad. Their UX is amazing. Complex but great.
It's not a major error -- the words are etymological siblings and it's clear what was meant. Repair translates to something resembling "reparation" in most romance languages so it's an easy translation mistake to make.
no sane mind would consider (then still hypothetical) light particles to carry propellant (functionally energetic fuel and reaction mass)

In mathematics one and the same theorem can have multiple derivations or proofs. WHile some proofs may be shorter, or more elegant, or rely on more widely understood theorems, they are still equally valid. Relying on fewer axioms is desirable though.

Physics is not practiced as pure mathematics. In physics there is always a tradeoff between simplicity and accuracy.

I have regularly observed different people using the same assumptions and arriving at the same resulst call each others derivation "wrong" simply because they dont like or perhaps understand each others derivation. Often just simple differences like the order of the steps, or derivations that are identical up to trivially regrouped factors in the quantities used, or one derivation working in the time domain while the other is in the frequency domain etc... It is surprising how hard people can argue while factually in agreement.

Returning to the simplicity and accuracy tradeoff. One might say there are islands where ideas quasicoherently match, where the accuracy over simplicity ratio peaks sufficiently. Without the intermediate islands no-one would be able to deduce a huge hop towards the truth. All the little islands along the way were important, even if they were flawed in hindsight.

Does the article state the clergyman derived general relativity? Or merely predicted celestial objects so heavy that light could not escape?

It is ironic that the distinction you make relies on special relativity, where frames of reference must be inertial, whereas merely considering gravitational forces requires the considerations of accelerating reference frames.
Yes, profits are the result of fulfilled demands but maximized profits turn the whole thing into a net negative deal for all other (on a long enough time span, for all) parties involved and not all those who are not involved.
None of us is "marketable" because we're humans, we're not companies, nor services nor other such thing. Also, good luck switching careers when you're past 35 years of age or even 40.

Granted, back in my 20s I did genuinely think that tech was potentially a force for good, hence why I mentioned the 2000s (and, incidentally, why this forum came into existence back then and why a lot of people like me joined it back in the day, we were not on places like this one for the money)
I tried it out with the free credits, just wrote "Honeybee" thought I won't be getting much honestly. But I got a 10 minute long podcast and I learned a few new things I didn't know about bees.
Really cool project, will be happy to see what other features you might implement!
I'd say stability AI directly are not doing that very well, but the vast majority of users of image generation AI are using NovelAI or Midjourney, both of which are raking in cash and don't share their models (NovelAI seems to be at least mostly finetunes of SD, while there's not much public details on midjourney's models at all). Both cases don't have much 'big capital' (especially compared to OpenAI) though: they're just very profitable from getting on the train of making it easy to use early.
Not sure if it’s biased, it’s a serious limitation of the technology. Some countries are already struggling with their energy grid and water demands as is.

I think it’s fair to ensure that you create something that isn’t subject to possible quotas in the future
I've used IRC for many years. If that serves your needs, you can surely use it.

Are you responsive to selection pressure? Are you accountable for anything? Is your employment coupled in any way to the success of the organization? How, exactly?

The savings made on meter readings, the reduction in meter breakdowns, the detection of illegal connections and other factors alone justify the renewal of electricity meters.

The linky meter can also be remotely controlled to reduce the maximum power delivery for bad debtors (it's very rare in France for electricity to be completely cut off).
The problem is then you’re not being paid enough.
Also perhaps MariaDB and MySQL should be joined together as well.
Vivaldi number of users? And yet here we are discussing on their thread.
These are not Japanese waters:

> The open-sea area in question is surrounded by Japan's EEZ.

Japan has no special rights outside its EEZ at all. Within the EEZ, it has rights to resources below the surface, but a buoy on the surface would be allowed. The territorial waters where a country can limit most surface activity are much smaller.
OK I kinda get what author is trying to say here.

In the first screenshot, "were the Project Managers technical", the asker means "does the PMs understand technical details"

Then the author argues that marketing, sales, management, design, product, HR people were also "technical" if you pay enough attention.

This article is arguably a very nice write-up, but it misses the main point.

In an emerging field, "technical" means decision makers can adapt very quickly with the know-hows and gets an advantage, but for mature business with tons of off-the-shelf technical solutions, soft-skills means a lot.

It all depends what kind of business you are in. They are not contradictive.
Oh wow, I was actually worried about this - right now I have a small USB-powered display and a TrackPoint keyboard and was wondering about whether I could get a laptop shell that would just combine the two, but all I can find are either these phone docks or heavy server rack KVMs. What's your setup like for this?
That makes concessions on software sales even more embarrassing imo
Pedantry 2: normally in cryptography we use the min-entropy <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Min-entropy> rather than the Shannon entropy that you linked, though in this case they are almost equal.

Exercise: consider a weighted, million sided die. 50% of the time when you roll it, it comes up 1. The other 50% of the time, it comes up on one of the other 999999 results, with equal likelihood. What is the min-entropy of this distribution? What is the Shannon-entropy? This should tell you why the min-entropy is preferable.

Added: hmm I think I made a calculation error further up. I'll look at it tomorrow if I can.
Programmers don’t have powers. C-levels do.
I've been bothering them about this since Steam Deck first launched, if it could actually pass thru full USB-C PD it would be insanely useful. Portable gaming device that can be converted into a fully functional laptop easily (with a second screen!) is a long time dream of mine. But it can't do the ~40w charging the Deck needs. Also the touchpad is complete garbage as it was designed for use with phones.

Sadly, NexDock doesn't design their own products and has little influence over engineering decisions of their partners. They're just slapping their logo on it and reselling it. There's a dozen other brands selling the exact same product on Alibaba/Taobao.

I would take that bet :P
That is also true.

It becomes a nasty chicken and the egg problem though -- many companies pay less as a risk management strategy, and that leads to the employee not having enough motivation. Of course from then on he/she does not want to excel and the employer concludes they made the right decision which is of course super wrong.

It's quite tragic on a human level but I stopped caring about that aspect as well. At my age and experience I just shrug and say "You get what you pay for" and I am not interested in trying to school people who would never change anyway.
You're making an assimilation fallacy and falling to grasp the technical reasons such as proper deinterlacing, frame rate matching, ineffective motion compression, and generally poor upscaling techniques.

If you decrypt and grab the pristine content of a 4:3 or 16:9 DVD, then process it properly through Handbrake or such, it will look fine.

I did this purposely for a couple of rare old movies because the VHS and streaming copies looked terrible. The DVD versions in various regions are much, much better and came out as playable artifacts I can put on an 4K or 8K output device. They look cleaner than when I play these than with a DVD player because of the extra computational effort that went into the filtering during the transcoding process.
That's certainly the RFV 3514 approach, and who are we to argue with standards?
