Hi, I am Bigyan from The Drive AI (https://thedrive.ai). And I want to briefly talk about Why The Drive AI exists in the first place.
The Problem We're Solving: 1. Current systems like Google Drive and OneDrive don’t utilize stored files to create new ones effectively. For instance, if you have a resume and a link to a job description, why can’t Google Docs write a resume for you? 2. Team projects often involve file-specific tasks like reading or writing. However, existing team communication platforms, like Slack, result in inefficient communication due to their long threads of conversation. Have you ever posted in the wrong channel, had to scroll endlessly to find a discussion from a month ago, or faced issues with message locks?

Our Solution with The Drive AI: 1. At The Drive AI, we enable you to leverage existing documents to create new ones, ask questions to the AI, and write with AI assistance. 2. Each file stored within The Drive AI has its own chat channel, ensuring that your conversations are always contextual and easily referenced. Additionally, you can send direct messages and create group chats.

Please reach out if you have any questions, or want to increase your teams productivity by integrating The Drive AI in your companies workflow.
This is cool, I like the dynamics. Is the source code available? I'm curious how much effort went into this.
My 401k is at Fidelity and split 80% into SP500 and 20% into the target retirement fund for my age. It was the other way around and like the OP I soon realized how much I was losing. I'll probably ease it back into the target fund as I get closer to retirement.
> No! Delay currency conversion _until conversion occurs_!

Sometimes these are legal requirements one way or the other. In my country, invoices in other currencies are based on the ECB rate of the date of the invoice, no matter what the actual value is when converted.
The article title is somewhat of a misnomer: the issue is not finding a classical SR model of tachyons (it has been known for decades that that can be done), but finding a consistent quantum field theory of tachyons.

+59% in 4 years is equivalent to 12% every year. percentages compound exponentially.
Right, Betterment and Wealthfront primarily only if you don't want to do anything more than shoveling money into a single place.
Why is it obvious?
Are you listing all of the stock tickers you invested in, or are we only getting a curated subset?

People overestimate their ability to pick stocks when they are up. Not everyone gets lucky.

We are talking about the STEM biology field. Biology students don't go to medical fields. There are more people going to medical fields from computer science, due to the need of medical software, or from physics due to radiology.
Because most logs are unstructured.

> Even at very immature organizations, log data within a service is usually structured.

unless the framework provides it by default, I've never seen this actually happen in real life. Sure I've seen a lot of custom telegraf configs, status end points and the like, but never actual working structured logging.

When I have seen structure logs, each team did it differently, The "ontology" was different (protip: if you're ever discussing ontology in logging then you might as well scream and run away.)
The author should have included a Makefile. You need to add -lpthread to command provided in README.md
SE programs are scams in the U.S. unfortunately. Comp sci is the only universally recognized and mostly standard degree. SE isn't even an option for many hiring/job app platforms like IBM.
The case for burning counterterrorism operations
You said yourself the algorithm is DFS. The obvious measure of difficult then is going to be the average number of branches b raised to the average depth d of the tree.

This is just another way of saying the size of the search space is (b^d), and DFS "walks the tree" until it finds the exit, which means on average its going to iterate half the entire search space before getting there. Furthermore, unless there is some other information available which correlates with the correct path at a given intersection, there's no possible way to do better than testing the possible branches sequentially (as in DFS) and therefore no way to improve on searching half the entire space.
Yes, I want to like mine and use it more but the software support is the real problem. The hardware is truly amazing (ignoring price point) and i've never had a VR/AR experience anywhere close but doing anything like my current computer flow is such a pain
All true! In my case, except hearing about stuff at AAAI conferences, I was mostly ignorant of most of the projects you mentioned.
I came back negative in all the bloodwork

One of my friends has APLS (antiphospholipid antibody syndrome), which can also occur as a secondary symptom of Lupus. All of her blood tests always come back negative due to the way APLS affects coagulation -- unless the bloodwork is cultured for at least two days. So if you have reason to suspect the test results may be incorrect, ask them to re-do the bloodwork as a long-term culture rather than the normal fast screening.
Might have been exactly the plan. Soak up all the sucker enthusiast money with the expensive model while establishing vision OS as "premium", then bring that "premium" product to the masses by coming out with something much cheaper later for the main market.
Clarifying:

Given the question: "How much is the flash attention algorithm tied to the hardware?"

The answer is 0.

ex. you can find generic flash attention recently added in llama.cpp and ONNX (MS needed it for Phi-3, needed for Recall).

On the side, novelty, I have no direct knowledge on, IMHO, asking that question would devolve the way novelty arguments do in any field: there's always someone else who can claim they did 80% of $X via $X-1, therefore, $X is by and large not novel. Ad infinitum.
Damn, i was hoping at least the hype would last long enough for google to release their apps on it
When said rich person pays money to promote their own philanthropy, I do inherently assume an ulterior motive, yes. A few years ago, influencers were bribing homeless people to humiliate themselves in exchange for a warm meal, now it's back with a feel-good coat of paint and trendy branding.

A true-blooded philanthropist commits to charity on nothing other than principle. Mr. Beast represents a jealousy for respect that all effective altrusts grapple with. There is no return-on-investment for the ultimate kindness.
I wonder to what degree this affects DNA forensics tools.
I don't think there is one. Many researchers had tried to switch the field to using "ML" instead, since it's a lot more accurate of a label, but it doesn't hype as well, and that appears to have been the decisive factor.
Calibre. Mainly for eBooks but you could add an empty book for those that are paper. It'll do metadata lookup and what not too given a title etc.
I am a VTSAX and chill-er. Before doing the math, I spent years with an EFE managed account that would’ve eaten $100,000s in fees over the life of the account, which seems like overkill to shuffle around a few index funds in a 401k. I should’ve become an investment banker.
Beginners of any age.

A friend in college (Aerospace major) took an intro to programming course in C, and was calling main() to get back to the menu at the start of his program instead of using any sort of loop. Was so confused why he had to choose "quit" from the menu a whole bunch of times before it would actually exit.
The idea behind a free market is to use the desire for profit as an incentive for the self-interested to collaborate with others and serve the public interest in doing so; this is why the state promotes the formation of businesses and punishes fraud and insider trading, in addition to violent crime.

... Man has almost constant occasion for the help of his brethren, and it is in vain for him to expect it from their benevolence only. He will be more likely to prevail if he can interest their self-love in his favour, and shew them that it is for their own advantage to do for him what he requires of them. Whoever offers to another a bargain of any kind, proposes to do this. Give me that which I want, and you shall have this which you want, is the meaning of every such offer; and it is in this manner that we obtain from one another the far greater part of those good offices which we stand in need of. It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity, but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities, but of their advantages.

I welcome the future where every card issuer drops support for Apple Pay and makes me use their garbage app instead. As much as it's fun to dunk on Apple this is one is actually not going to be good for end-users. You can still only have one default wallet and every company is going to be clamoring to be the one.

> If companies use their own apps for tap-and-go payments, they would get “full visibility” of their customers’ transactions, said Ben Wood, chief analyst at CCS Insight. That data would allow them to “build brand loyalty and trust and offer more personalized services, rewards and promotions directly to the user”, he said.

I sincerely hope this is the worse before it gets better and we'll actually get mandated transaction privacy across every provider instead of relying on Apple but I doubt it.
No I have been paying attention to those rules. I did not violate any of the rules. Ironically you are breaking the rules by polluting the thread with irrelevant noise and false accusations.
> To put it simply: in order to calculate the probability of a quantum process involving tachyons, it is necessary to know not only its past initial state but also its future final state.

And from the paper[1]:

> Therefore, a Lorentz boost can transform a positive-energy tachyon moving forward in time into a negative-energy tachyon moving backward in time.

AFAIK, in Feynman diagrams[2], you also specify the initial and final states, and antiparticles are portrayed as moving backwards in time.

Is the similarity just superficial or is there more to it?

Somewhat off topic, but stuff like this always leads me back to this reconstructed video from 1902. It feels like you almost there. I cannot fantom all these people walking peacefully now are dead, and they never heard of silicon circuit, let alone internet or an iPad. Worth watching once or twice a year it always makes me appreciate my life just few inches more...

this sophistry is why i hate politics on HN.
Seems like obvious solution is to aggressively reduce demand. Make the con more expensive or lot less desirable. That will reduce visitors and thus demand for rooms and thus lower the prices or direct the hotels to offer deals to fill the capacity.
For now, pg_lakehouse is read-only. We are planning to add write support and this is a feature we would like to support. What is your use case for it?

Sketch of a more complete solution, excluding shortened forms and very foreign ones. Alternatives are in rough order of frequency.

vowel 0: E, Ye, Je, Ai. Optional and rare; Ai in particular is very rare.

consonant 1: C, K, G, Q. Mandatory; G and Q are rare.

vowel 1: a, aa, ai; optional h or gh. Mandatory. A few shortened forms use i instead.

consonant 2: t, tt, d. Almost mandatory, but a few r-centric variants lack it. There also seem to be a few

vowel 2: a, e. Optional, only valid if consonant 2 exists. In shortened forms, also i, ie, or y; this is the end.

consonant 3: r, l. Optional. Sometimes L starts a new word instead.

vowel 3: i, y, ee, ie, ii, e if no consonant 2, plus several rare vowel sequences. Almost mandatory (assuming consonant 3), but a few rare variants pack the r right next to the n.

consonant 4: n, nn, nh. Optional.

vowel 4: e, a, ey. Optional; ey is rare.

Some languages shove an s, c, x, t, k somewhere too (some of these are probably language-specific diminutives, but a few might be phoneme drift instead) ...

"Kaylee" and its variant "Kayla" should probably not be counted (despite almost fitting the pattern) since that's a compound of "Kay", adding the additional "Leigh" name.
It would be to duckdb_iceberg, yes. We're looking to keep things in the open-source :)
Your comment reminds of Haskell's motto, which may apply here as well.

"Avoid success at all costs" meaning, not to intentionally avoid success, but if you try to gain success/widespread adoption by compromising your other goals and principles, you have lost your way.
Will take more hours
About $50,000.
The thing costs a bazillion dollars, what did they expect… people to suddenly wear this for day to day tasks?

I said it on the day they first announced it, as soon as the media hype was over, no one would ever mention it again.

Other than price, not sure what else they could do to make it appealing.
To the people down-voting you: X is from a time when devices actually came with manuals. When the people using it were engineers and scientists and reading a datasheet or a manual was a normal thing to them.

I think this started around the 90ies that devices turned into magic black box consumables that are expected to "just work" while being undiagnosable when they don't.

With how much NVidia is developing AI-workload accelerating hardware, I expect this will cost maybe few dozen dollars and train in few hours within next few years.

What I think will be interesting is when commodity hardware can run cheap inference from very capable, specialized models. Pretty sure it will spawn a new golden age of AI-powered desktop applications.

For example, video game space has already been trying to create AI-powered NPCs, world generation and story-telling (e.g. Inworld AI).
Yes, an one 0 security installation method cannot be less secure than an other 0 security installation method. Both are insecure.

However, when source code and compilation instructions are available, an independent maintainer can verify source manually, compile it in isolation, test in it in isolation, make patches, add SELinux rules, make package, then sign the package, to produce a secure package, which can be safely consumed by end users.
Maybe you could start by replying to my email? I would not have complained publicly if there had been any form of communication from you but there was none.
Yes, and I learned a lot there, including that I much prefer software engineering to computer science.
While I think this was largely expected from everyone following AVP, it will be very interesting to see how Apple attempts to salvage this project.

They’ve really backed themselves in to a corner with the pricing of their headset far exceeding what all but the most enamored enthusiasts are willing to stomach. On top of that, the sales are so bad that it is not worth companies of nearly any size to dedicate time to creating apps or content for the platform.

Apple is probably going to have to light a gigantic stack of cash on fire to try to course correct this. Or they’ll cut their losses and write it off entirely
They probably spent more on the training data, to be honest. They had to get it the hard way.
Yes, and there are multiple levels of aggregators. For example, in a past life, I built SMS APIs and back-ends, including ones used by smaller telecoms to enable their subscribers to send/receive SMS. (We were pretty small, and only accounted for something like 0.5% if US SMS traffic)

We connected to multiple aggregators. It's been a few years, but the big players in the US (Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile) were split between different aggregators. It was a similar situation in Europe.

A big part of working with a new aggregator was a full review of security and privacy, and that became even more important as we began the process of being acquired by an F100 company.

I'm still trying to figure out why messages were stored in S3 buckets to begin with. That's an architecture choice that makes little sense to me, especially since the limited size of SMS makes them pretty space efficient.
Probably not with the same amount of training time, but I'd imagine a recent MBP GPU could handle GPT-2 training. The biggest challenge is that the training would need to be reimplemented for Metal instead of CUDA.
Learning an instrument is a great thing to do and I can highly recommend it. What I can't recommend is learning an instrument from scratch when you were hired to play that instrument in an orchestra, as you are being paid to play in the orchestra.
thank you! fixed this :)
> i've never had a VR/AR experience anywhere close

What VR experiences have you had?

I was not impressed at all. Have had a Rift since they launched. Rift-S, Quest 2, Quest 3, PSVR, PSVR2. Nothing about the Vision Pro did anything for me. The "try to hold your eyes still to point" is the worst possible UX interaction I've ever used. Super un-natural and un-intuitive. That's not how my eyes work. I knew that the first time I tried "stare to point" on PSVR2. It was awful there and it's awful on Vision Pro

It also felt horrible. I'm not saying any of the other HMD are great but Vision Pro's weight was awful. It's either too tight to stay on or resting on my nose. Someday that will be fixed (glasses?) but in the context of shipping devices, the devices that put the weight on the forehead are way more comfortable. I think PSVR(1) was the first to do that. Rift-S copied. Quest is a step back unless you get a 3rd party accessory

The "you get one screen from your mac" was also disappointing. I've had 6 screens in VR from my PC since Rift shipped. It's built into the Rift/Link OS. Yes, it's got issues but 1 screen is still a step back of many years, not forward.
I haven't seen it much but I think it's a lot of fun and still have my gear in the garage.

The last paragraph talks about being cut-off and isolated. He didn't mention Internet or phones for private use, so I wonder if they didn't have that. I can imagine smartphones being disallowed, and even if allowed, limited to home WiFi...
good call - any ideas how to make that more clear? there is a tooltip on desktop but not mobile
Compared to many other ICE cars, Toyota hybrid drivechain is relatively simple. There is no turbocharger, no double-mass wheel, no starter engine, no DPF, the transmission has no other moving parts than just a few rotating planetary gears (constantly engaged), no clutch, no microclutches, no momentum converter. There are fewer moving parts than in a manual transmission, and forget any other classic automatic transmission. E.g. in comparison, DSG complexity is atrocious (and unreliability famous). In exchange there are 2 electric engines and a battery - but that’s all quite simple and reliable technology.
<humerous-speculating> What if Zuck made the Meta Quest Pro as a psy-op to get Apple to make a pro headset and waste resources, simply to get back at them for clamping down on user tracking? </humerous-speculating>
Is VisionOS itself seen as particularly premium just because the launch hardware was? I mean it had some good features but, outside of hardware, Meta has done a good job of catching the big ones they lacked before anyone has really tried VisionOS.
:face_palm: thank you!
In the absence of a visionary like Steve Jobs, new devices need "accidental" jailbreaks for creatives to seed Sherlock fields for Apple harvest.
Looks like they read Jim Cramer's Mad Money book: choose 5 diverse companies and research them about an hour a week.
The cynics are right more often than not, but the poor "why do I need Dropbox?" guy still gets trotted out.
When I did my masters fifteen years ago, it was a masters in "machine learning". AI was already just what laypeople called it.

If your argument is that "this isn't AGI", I don't think anyone at all disagrees, but then that's a bit of a tautology.
The Tesla playbook?
Circumlocution
True. Though laptops were in some ways easier than desktops, since laptops tended to have the same set of hardware in each unit, so hopefully you only had to find an `XF86Config` or `xorg.conf` that someone had shared for that model.

Examples:

That is great man. My own sheet gives a parsing error for the date. But really gread stuff. Can you be reached by char or email?
The best part about product launches like this one is that it helps me know whose opinions to ignore.
You don't provide any supportive evidence that "your way of incentivizing" creates a net benefit - "just trust me bro" seems to be your fallback.
I think about buying a Vision Pro from time to time, but Apple’s lackluster support for gaming keeps me from it. I spend a fair bit of my free time sim racing, and I think the Vision Pro would be amazing for it. But! I really don’t want to spend $3K for an unsupported experience.

Apple needs to accept that even a “pro” product needs be usable for non “pro” tasks, and needs to support them. If their Vision line is going to be successful they’re going to need to have more first party support of things like gaming. Partner with Steam, and/or Sony, to get more titles on it. Or pay developers to port games to it and ensure the experience is stellar. It won’t be a short term strategy, but I think a lack of good and unique applications will create a chicken and egg problem. No one wants one, because there are no killer apps, and no one is making those killer apps, because there isn’t a large enough audience.

I personally like Sony’s PSVR2, a dumb headset, but has good fidelity. I hope Apples next cheaper VR headset has the same visual quality but less of an OS.
It can also be that AVP is an “emergent” product while they work on the parts for something larger. I would imagine a lot of the “harder” parts for AVP line up closely with whatever car Apple is attempting to build.
If you need to run it continuously for a year
Does it handle clustering/redundancy for the data stored in KV/object store? My intuition says yes because I believe it supports it at the "node" level
