A "signal server" in this situation is any method that will allow the two end points to connect. However, you simply need to be able to exchange a few setup packets. People used web sockets for this, but essentially anything that will exchange some information will work.

see https://webrtc.org/getting-started/peer-connections.

There is a youtube video on writing a webrtc chat app and (during development) the developer simply copies and pastes between two windows on the same computer. Webrtc file transfer, text chat and video chat all use this information. In addition if one is negotiating connections across NAT servers you use STUN or TURN servers (there are open ones) to establish NAT. Your local computer/phone/whatever will send need to tell the other side what your NAT address is and STUN will do that.

I’ve had good luck with subscribe and save in the UK. It seems to take the lowest recent price for each product, so there haven’t been many times I was surprised by a high price - but a lot of times that I was pleased with a low price!

The trick is to go in and review the order before it’s due to ship (you get an email reminder) and cancel/substitute/defer any items you don’t need or that are priced too high.

Occasionally I’ve also noticed items that are showing out of stock on the product page, but they still managed to find stock for my S&S order.

It’s not weird UX when you consider why it’s so hidden: to increase “engagement” metrics (i.e. make it more likely for you to click on other videos, view/interact with ads/etc). Same reason the feature is unavailable on iOS (even though it’s been natively supported by the OS for years), unless you pay whatever google wants for a premium YouTube subscription.
To be clear, per the article, Comstock wasn't the accused -- he was the accuser; the accusee was one LeGrange Brown.

(BTW, Anthony Comstock[0] is the namesake of the Comstock Act of 1873[1], concerning the sending of obscene materials, contraception and abortion drugs via the US Postal Service; it has been mentioned recently in the news due to the attempt by anti-abortionists to use it to prevent drugs like mifepristone being sent via the mail[2][3]).

The paper doesn't make this point at all, but one thing you could do here is an AlphaGeometry-style[1] synthetic benchmark, where you have a geometry engine crank out a hundred million word problems, and have an LLM try to solve them.

Geometry problems have the nice property that they're easy to generate and solve mechanically, but there's no particular reason why a vanilla Transformer LLM would be any good at them, and you can have absolutely huge scale. (Unlike, say, the HumanEval benchmark, which only has 164 problems, which resulted in lots of accusations that LLMs can simply memorize the answers)

I'm kind of with you here.

Lispy languages have structural editing tools that make it a lot like working directly on an AST. It's a delight when you get used to it.

The spacing/linebreaks are all just auto formatted and mostly an afterthought. It would only be one step further to present the code with the users choice of block start/end sequences.
Ofc I am. Everyone is and acting like one isn't is just doing everyone a disservice, being able to put that aside when directly interacting with others is what counts.

But when their behavior indicates to me something I've seen multiple times before is going on again I am going to act accordingly.

What’s the point of commenting a youtube video, have you ever seen the comments there?

I don't see why? Germany is part of one of the biggest most diverse synchronised electricity grids in the world - it sits at the centre of an international transmission system stretching from Ireland to Turkey and from the artic circle to Morocco. Germany has no need to store several weeks of electricity when it can just tap its neighbours when it needs to. In reality, generally Germany has been a net exporter of electricity.
How did you reach these conclusions and have you validated them by asking these superior artificial agents about whether you're correct or not?
Provide reliable evidence of your own, then. What objective measures are you using, other than your own personal taste? What quantifiable data can you provide to back up your claim that great films are no longer being made?

And how does your definition of greatness apparently presuppose widespread impact, but somehow presumably exclude any modern films that have demonstrably widespread impact?
The most interesting are probably Ukrainian sea drones. Fairly long range remote controlled somewhat stealthy boats with a big explosive payload. In the newer models they are a bit less stealthy in exchange for a bigger payload and a bulletproof roof.

Now one of these would probably do nothing against a carrier. It wouldn't reach it, and if it would it wouldn't get through the armor. But a bigger swarm can overwhelm your defenses and repeatedly hit the same spot to get through armor. They can be mass-produced, and no matter how much firepower and armor you bring your enemy can always spend less money than that on just making more drones.
The native <video> and <audio> tags buffer a few megabytes at a time. This is easy to see by opening a video file in the browser (not from file://) and watching the network tab.
I recently purchased one of these as my home router after being impressed by their beryl ax travel router and am extremely happy with it. It runs openwrt and you can access the openwrt luci interface or ssh to it to do whatever you can on any other openwrt system. Also this router did have some WiFi performance issues when 1st released but firmware updates have addressed this. If you get one upgrade to the latest firmware. Given the date of this review, January, the firmware installed at the time of the review might not have yet addressed the issues.

I am also in the UK (person who you replied to replied to) - your second paragraph is exactly what I mean. It's fine, it's good, but it's not set it and forget it, it's plan a bigger order, and check it nearer the time.

It definitely doesn't 'take the lowest recent price', it doesn't even claim to, it gives you whatever discount (either 0/5 or 5/15 percent depending the product, and less/more than five items respectively) against the exact product listing and exact seller for that listing that you set it up against. I've cancelled/skipped them and ordered the same literal product (maybe a different listing) cheaper as a one-off order on numerous occasions. Nevermind all the ones I have set up that are basically just 'salt' or whatever and I don't care about the brand, the cheapest brand can vary a lot and if you're not careful you can end up subscribed to one that happens to go maliciously expensive.

Folks on HN are good to talk the talk but not really to walk the walk. Not only they could give to developers or company like Igalia but they could also get a Firefox Relay/VPN subscription. They don't even need to use it and their money is going to be 100% profit for MoCo. Also, if we are realistic, the total money in donation that Mozilla could get would probably represent a drop in the ocean compared to their annual budget and the amount of money you need to develop a (complete) browser. It's way more complicated than creating yet another chrome skin.

thanks for the thoughtful qtn! yeah i dont have the background for this one, you'll have to ask an MoE researcher (which Yi is not really either as i found out on the pod). it does make sense that on a param-for-param basis MoEs would have less compositional abilities, but i have yet to read a paper (mostly my fault, bc i dont read MoE papers that closely, but also researcher fault, in that they're not incentivized to be rigorous about downsides of MoEs) that really identified what these compositional abilities are that MoEs are affected. if you could, for example, identify subcategories of BigBench or similar that require compositional abilities, then we might be able to get hard evidence on this question. i'm not yet motivated enough to do this myself but it'd make a decent small research question.

HOWEVER i do opine that MoEs are kiiind of a stopgap (both on the pod and on https://latent.space/p/jan-2024) - definitely a validated efficiency/sparsity technique (esp see deepseek's moe work if you havent already, with >100 experts https://buttondown.email/ainews/archive/ainews-deepseek-v2-b...) but mostly a oneoff boost you get on the single small dense expert equivalent model rather than comparable to the capabilities of a large dense model of the same param count (aka I expect a 8x22B MoE to never outperform a 176B dense model ceteris paribus - which is difficult to get a like-for-like comparison on bc these things are expensive, also partially because usually the MoE is just upcycled instead of trained from scratch, and partially because the routing layer is deepening every month). so perhaps to TLDR there is more than enough evidence and practical motivation to justify their continued use (i would go so far as to say that all inference endpoints incl gpt4 and above should be MoEs) but they themselves are not really an architectural decision that matters for the next quantum leap in capabilities
It's funny how the article portrays this as a key driver of climate change, when in fact natural gas displacing coal has significantly _reduced_ US carbon emissions over the last 20 years!
The title is "Using copper to convert CO₂ to methane could be game changer in mitigating climate change" which is wrong for the reason i told and which you did not address.

Weirdly enough I've found some of the effects of talent development become most apparent when they're left to their own devices (as in no help is coming and they're aware of this).

I don't want a single feature, I want a guarantee that Firefox will receive consistent maintenance over time and won't be influenced by Google's opinions about what the web should become. A small monthly donation helps with that in a way that feature sponsorship doesn't.
I have noticed that MidJourney and StableDiffusion have very different culture. Midjourney people keep there prompts personal while StableDiffusion sharing prompts (with all settings and everything) is the norm.

It makes sense for this product to be targeting MidJourney. I think you can replace some of the images with better alternatives (more cherry picking). I have seen much better images coming from MidJourney in contrast with StableDiffusion.
Is anyone surprised? This part of Amazon has been setting money on fire for years. It hasn’t stopped the people involved from being rewarded though. Amazon employees complain about how the teams in this part of the company get essentially all the headcount or resources they request and build up giant teams that do busy work and get promoted. But they’ve failed to build even one sustainable business. For those who got promoted, this part doesn’t matter - they can just move teams or companies and keep their undeserved titles.
Well the internal representation is tokens not words so.. the pin is even smaller?

They distill relationships between tokens. Multiple tokens together make up a word, and multiple words together make up a label for something we recognize as a "concept".

These "concepts" are not just a label though - they are an area in the latent space inside the neural network which happens to contains those words in the sequence (along with other labels that mean similar things).

A simple demonstration of this is how easily multi-modal neural networks build cross modal representations of the same thing, so "cats" end up in the same place in both image and word form but also more complex concepts ("a beautiful country fields with a foreboding thunderstorm forming") will also align well between the words and the images.

Amazon isn't sitting on billions of IPv4 addresses; that would be at least 50% of the entire worlds addresses.

The article says they are sitting on billions of dollars worth of IP addresses, which is a completely different thing. FWIW I don't think Amazon having 100million IPv4 addresses is that unreasonable given how many sites are on it.
Mostly historical interest; User Mode Linux (UML) was one of the first more performant options for virtualisation of Linux.

This let you play with a network lab based on UML or other technologies without needing to set up a physical network.

This was before hardware virtualisation that we now take for granted. UML was actually the first technology that Linode used for virtualisation, then Xen came along and was a far better option.
In Washington State, the Human Rights Commission (not DoL, my bad) performs the investigation and brings forward a case to an administrative law judge. The applicant would not need a lawyer. However, the applicant can bring forward a civil case, if they wish.

The lawyer, in a civil case, should already have all of the evidence they need gathered by the HRC.

States, countries, etc. will differ of course.

I do wonder what it'd be like to have something proved and to have an administrative judge tell the company to hire you anyway... Wouldn't that be super uncomfortable?

Meh. No, the internet isn't going away. Yes, it's not the countercultural thing it once was. Counterculture is still happening, just not on the first page you go to on the internet any more. No, manufacturing going from 20% to 14% of the economy does not mean the world is ending. And no, the random coincidence of who has a bunch of oil money right now doesn't mean anything. The internet will outlast Islam, culturally if not physically.

The new generation doesn't know how boring a world without a phone in your pocket actually was. They can't comprehend it in the same way that we can't comprehend actually believing religion the way medieval people did. It's not coming back.
> their money is going to be 100% profit for MoCo

If you can provide a citation for this claim I'd get a subscription today. I don't pay for their side projects because I don't want them to take it as a signal of demand for VPNs, but if it's truly 100% profit I'd be willing to risk it.

> Also, if we are realistic, the total money in donation that Mozilla could get would probably represent a drop in the ocean compared to their annual budget and the amount of money you need to develop a (complete) browser.

People keep saying this, but given that it's never been tried you have no proof. And even if it were, what harm is there in opening up one more option for those of us who want to be really clear about what we're paying for?
