skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
I had a similar idea for something like hugging face in 2016. (I feel so stupid I didn't execute)

My business model was that people with great models trained on proprietary data sets would buy & sell trained weights and fine tuned models for private use.

Here is an example.

No e-commerce business is going to easily publish their sales data for everyone to train so they can build a great model for optimizing recommendations of products.

Hiring an internal AI team may have 2 problems.

- It may cost too much
- May not work as well
- You may not have the appropriate data set or data size (DL is very data intensive).

For a small fraction of what it may cost to hire your own team. You may buy a fine tuned models or readily trained weights that you just "plug & play".

That sounds like reasonable model.

The client (e-commerce) saves money, time, is guaranteed success, and gets the bonus productivity output from AI integration.

What do you guys think? Tarpit idea?

If I owned hugging face, I would follow such a strategy.
Eventually they’d make an app for AR with a virtual human teacher, depending on the execution, it could work especially if they can make it so real that it can suspend disbelief it is just an avatar
i use a 5 legged shooting rest, which is extremely effective.

my rifle is a 3006 with a cut barrel, and it is extremely precise. There are a couple of guys at my local range that can consistently(aka generally 4 out of 5) put hole-in-hole (with slight enlarging)
And there is african extinct megafauna.for example the giant birds of madagascar whos giant eggshells inspired the bird roc in arabian folktales. I wouldnt be suprised if africa too is littered with human extinct megafauna which simply never had the reproductionrate or cleverness to keep up. Which is a great arg for the theory that one intelligent spezies breeds/uplifts all other creatures to intelligence.
Using words. Same as here on Hacker News.
Even as a self-motivated learner I fail to see the bigger impact of AI. For a “virtual Feynman” I would prefer the online video courses and books which exist without AI. The best I expect an AI to do is to answer my questions and confirm my understandings. At AI’s current state I can use it as a better search engine but due to hallucinations I can’t expect reliable answers yet.
I try to give 30 minutes of time exploring what's new. But I learn new stack way later when I actually need to used in my project (and I vaguely recall reading about it somewhere).
Is Christo-fascism simply enacting any legislation that comes from a Christian moral lens? It overwhelmingly seems like a buzzword used to fearmonger that has only recently been added via OTA updates to certain groups.
In some ways, the obscurity makes it even more interesting. That's of course not to say that I didn't enjoy your articles about popular chips like the Z80 or any x86 variant as well, I really do. One is interesting because you get fantastic insight into the chips you've been using for so long, the other because it's a glimpse into an unfamiliar world.
Well said.

Does this really have no types? How can something like this be usable in 2024 with no types?
My impression is:

* These guys are truly working very hard at guaranteeing privacy;

* That will probably break some websites (I'm trying out the advanced tracking protection in normal mode, we'll see).

* It will also put them on collision with Google, which is essentially an advertising shop with a free browser frontend.
Exactly, although we use cosine similarity.
Unity has way more tutorials whuch can shorten the learning curve a lot. Another thing to keep in mind is that once you learn one engine it's easy to learn another.
I pretty much agree 100%. We need more, smaller communities – and we need them offline.

Notably, this is largely an American problem, since America is built around cars, which given the capitalist nature of American society proves to be antithetical to establishing local communities.

European and other countries, whose layouts and culture were established in pedestrian days, are much better off in this regard.

To me it seems, like it or not, the whole industry of collecting, saving, analyzing, and exchanging of information about users personal details and behaviors has to be regulated really really really strict, to the point of near-death perhaps, for the sake of national security.

Ask HN: How to get design partner for B2B tech idea?
As a part of side project, I'm building a coding workflow solution and want to start with something small, so picked code review. I'm wondering how to get design partners for this project.
Lucky to be part of this company and seen this strategy work close up. One thing I'll add is this "decentralized" approach applies to all Hugging Face teams, not just the developer advocacy team. Just to give an example, there's no central comms team at Hugging Face, every team (usually the engineers who work on the product or features) does their own comms across the channels they think work best. That means there's lots of experimentation and most of our hires tend to be generalists who are comfortable wearing many hats.
Character was specifically moral character, which is related to how you interact with others.
> Practicing scales endlessly does make you a better musician. But they won't do it till forced.

The value of such exercises, or any other drill-based curriculum, must be measured with its opportunity cost. If you practise scales for an hour a day, you can indeed reliably expect to be better at your musical instrument, but it could very well be that the same hour spent on improving another skill (sight-reading, articulation etc.) would make you considerably better still at your instrument.

I think it might be more generally useful to say that, in order to develop well-rounded competency in a given field, one should expect to sometimes have to perform boring drills.
Why is it that whenever a company happens to be successful, and does meetings/goals differently than most (also successful) companies, the success is attributed to the lack of meetings/goals, and not, y'know, the business?
Market forces trump individual performance.

Not to say this way of working isn't good, but HuggingFace's success is not a great data point to validate the hypothesis.

It's great that there is a way to turn it off, but the root problem, again and again, is that it is on by default without obtaining the user's opt-in consent. The company (again) made a unilateral decision about what the software should do, without asking the user. This is such a common, terrible practice of Silicon Valley.

I don't care if the feature cures cancer or gives me a free puppy. I don't want a feature running without my explicitly commanding it to run.
Hi all! I'm Omar from Hugging Face. Happy to answer any questions you might have about Hugging Face in general, llamas, and open ML!
BPMN was created for product people. UML use case diagrams were created for product people.

I don't see the argument why product people don't need to learn this. They work in a software organization, they build software, they should be expected to know the diagrams pertinent to them.

Neither the term nor the concept are recent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_fascism
I don't think meetings or OKRs are inherently bad, I have worked in organisations where these kinds of things are actually done well. Equally no OKRs and no meetings can be fine as well.

Where the problem exists is when the systems and processes business use start to become calcified into the organisation's way of working, and compliance is used to control the work people do.

RACI, RASCI, DACI as an example are all fine mental models for thinking about how people or teams should work on a project. But if I'm planning a project and propose a DACI, and then my project ends up getting derailed because some other manager thinks we should use a RACI instead it's probably game over.
Normally you need to confirm a stereotype with data, not verify it after the fact.

The treatment funding ran out during the study period, so this stopped being a benefit but the study continued anyways.
I recently became aware of LibreWolf (https://librewolf.net/installation/linux/), going to see how it works. So far I like that I can install it via AppImage!
Exactly. Users don't care about the underlying tech as long as it works and works on the platforms they're using and with other systems they're using. That's it. When users start caring about the underlying tech, you need to actively dissuade them unless there is a sound technical argument. Otherwise you end up with people insisting on using DOS for enterprise applications in 2024 because that's what they've used since 1984 (wish I hadn't experienced this).
Good riddance is all I want to say. We really need fewer liars in this world.

Could you talk more about HuggingFace's new benchmark for LLMs? When did it become obvious that the old benchmarks were no longer sufficient:

I do not like that Python does not allow tz-naive time to be interpreted as UTC, which does not need a timezone. So you have to waste space by using a tz-aware format or you have to add the TZ +00 manually in some way.

Nope, none of those.

When people were mining Ethereum (which was the last craze that GPUs were capable of playing in -- BTC has been off the GPU radar for a long time), profitable mining was fairly kind to cards compared to gaming.

Folks wanted their hardware to produce as much as possible, for as little as possible, before it became outdated.

The load was constant, so heat cycles weren't really a thing.

That heat was minimized; cards were clocked (and voltages tweaked) to optimize the ratio of crypto output to Watts input. For Ethereum, this meant undervolting and underclocking the GPU -- which are kind to it.

Fan speeds were kept both moderate and tightly controlled; too fast, and it would cost more (the fans themselves cost money to run, and money to replace). Too slow, and potential output was left on the table.

For Ethereum, RAM got hit hard. But RAM doesn't necessarily care about that; DRAM in general is more or less just an array of solid-state capacitors. And people needed that RAM to work reliably -- it's NFG to spend money producing bad blocks.

Power supplies tended to be stable, because good, cheap, stable, high-current, and stupidly-efficient are qualities that go hand-in-hand thanks to HP server PSUs being cheap like chips.

There were exceptions, of course: Some people did not mine smartly.

---

But this is broadly very different from how gamers treat hardware, wherein: Heat cycles are real, over clocking everything to eek out an extra few FPS is real, pushing things a bit too far and producing glitches can be tolerated sometimes, fan speeds are whatever, and power supplies are picked based on what they look like instead of an actual price/performance comparison.

A card that was used for mining is not implicitly worse in any way than one that was used for gaming. Purchasing either thing involves non-zero risk.
Being the GitHub of AI models is like the thing to be for the last two years when it comes to scaling. I'm surprised it was only 300% not like 2000%.

It made me realize just how many fundamental things that I completely took for granted in the "modern" computing world, were ultimately just concepts derived from UNIX (even for OSes that you'd think have little relation to it at all), and how there were (and in some capacity still are) very, very different worlds out there.
Use Case Diagrams are only one small part of UML, usually the part people learn, but it's way bigger than that.
Using a phone translator is fine for being a tourist or maybe for short business trips. It's super inconvenient if you want to live and work somewhere where they speak that language, though.

You need to have your phone on you all the time, otherwise you can't communicate. There is always going to be at least one clause worth of latency in each direction of translation due to differences in word order and semantics, so you'll be at least a sentence or two behind the conversation - whereas if you learn the language, you're interacting in real time. Also do not underestimate the goodwill that comes from being willing to learn a language - people recognize that it's hard, they're going to be much warmer to someone who spent over a thousand hours to reach B2 in their second language vs. someone who downloaded an app instead of putting the effort in.

Near real time speech-to-speech machine translation is super cool if you're a tourist visiting a country for a couple weeks, or an employee visiting a factory in a country you don't speak the language. It isn't a replacement for learning a language, though.
This problem isn't exclusive to current implementations of AI.

I had a US business professor explain in one of my business classes that making a bit more money might push you over into the next tax bracket and cost you more in taxes than you made.

No, you need to provide as much information in context as possible. Otherwise you are sampling from the mode. "Write me an essay about cows" = garbage boring and probably 200 words. "here are twenty papers about cow evolution, write me an overview of findings" = yes
[author here] we interviewed the maintainer of that leaderboard if you want to hear from her directly! https://www.latent.space/p/benchmarks-201

tldr: old benchmarks saturated, methodology was liable to a lot of subtle biases. as she mentions on the pod, they're already working on leaderboard v3.
The kind of momentum maintaining alignment can provide is unreal. I hope this topic and HuggingFace and other doing it keeps getting more attention and details being shared. Nothings perfect, but it sure seems like it would work well for some people :)

Having a team of thoughtful and professional self-directed learners and creators sounds amazing if you can get a space for a team to come together around it.

Companies that have to, or choose to compromise on their labour force, either from a competency or salary perspective often have to put more supports in place to keep people longer.

Doesn't mean OKRs, etc are the correct solution.

They make collaboration software intended to be Google Cloud Office Suite alternatives.

I am not sure what to think of them, most things they make have bigger more popular open-source alternatives.
Hmmm. People who make absolute statements like that generally* undermine their own credibility in my mind.

*I do it lots. Partly because the way my mind runs, I can nearly always (lol, can't help it) come up with possible conditions where I'd be wrong.
Given the contexts I most commonly see it used in, I think it means “having hatred for someone outside my identity group”.

There is an interesting physics education experiment. A random group of students are shown a lecture on a topic and take a quiz after watching the video. The students rate the lecture. Repeat with a different lecture on the same topic. The students did worse with the higher rated lecture.

There’s teaching students like. There’s teaching where students learn. Sometimes the two intersect. Will an AI education company optimize one that students enjoy or one where they learn better?
Not really. In my experience it is mostly effect of socio-legal pressure that kids can't be anywhere but school. In primary schools most kids are bored or miserable as hell while in school. And further parents keep pushing it because apparently education is key to future success / great career.

For higher education there is charade of education to get jobs. So for office manager job where grade 8 would be enough, we have MBAs now because we all need advanced education to survive in global economy blah..blah.
Their entire job function could've probably been replaced by a wiki or Google Doc.

I'm an Engineering Manager these days and I suspect this is true to an extent for my role. All I seem to do is relay information from one group to another, translate from one jargon to a different jargon, figure out who to talk to in order to get someone to be able to push a button, and, more often than I'd like, sit in meetings and remember things when someone else has forgotten. If my teams and the teams they work with wrote things down in discoverable and organized ways I would be out of a job.

However, due to the fact my teams are made up of fallible, disorganized, and very human people, my job seems pretty safe, and I get a great deal of satisfaction from knowing I help a lot of people get a lot more done than if I wasn't around.
I think online courses and AI education need the kind of supervision you mentioned. But they should also be able to give career advice, not just watch the room and push students to focus.
The “drag app to app folder” mechanic feels like the UAC prompt of windows. It’s more like a “You are doing something substantial, are you sure of it?” thing for me.
Never thought of it as unintuitive.
Trump is also responsible for the tax code changes to Section 174 requiring R&D expenses be amortized, which is a big drag on early-stage startups. Seems like simple and ordinary upper-class support for upper-class tax cuts, to me.
At age 12, kids get split up in groups according to their abilities, no?
Also GUI design tools like the WinForms designer but for more modern toolkits please. VB/Delphi/WinForms were such a joy to design and XAMl (let alone web frontent) is such a pain to write.
I dunno? Matt Walsh is an open ChristoFascist and Even Joe Rogan mentioned that he was worried about it harkening back to the George Bush days, part of my point was less that I though an extreme thing would happen and more that of the extreme things that could happen, Christian extremism seems more popular then libertarian extremism.

But also maybe the answer to your question is yes? Separation of church and state and all that silly nonsense.

Also OTA updates? Is this like some weird “I’m a free thinker and everyone else is an NPC thing?”
I wonder, is this information so confidential the creator doesn't want to answer this?
What is an OKR?

update: dead serious. I searched. It says "objectives and key results." But what does one look like? Is it a document?
There is nothing you cannot ruin with dumb enough management.
kids will choose many different kinds of activities at any given time.a lot of kids really don’t like games, some do, some don’t.

i’m not trying to be pedantic, but anytime someone implies a human, particularly a kid will be at all predictable shows an incredible lack of understanding of people. the vast array of moods, time of day, quality of sleep the night before, are they hungry, mood of the parents when they drove them to school, how did their school/work day go, how was their social day, and on and on and on.

again, apologies, i’m not trying to be pedantic but i think in this particular topic it reeeeaalllly matters.

Not sure what you're referring to, tbh. Are you talking about the occasional student being promoted or held back a grade? If so, I would say that isn't a granular enough separation to be meaningful.

Even the good examples are bad.

We have:

- A song that the AI wrote, without any explanation of how it assisted a musician, instead of just creating a song from scratch

- An image, which was again totally generated. There's a bit of text about how artists will imbue the image with "personal experience", whatever that means; I guess that means photoshopping some stuff onto it?

- A poem, which is just bad, and which again was written from whole cloth without any explanation of how AI assisted anyone.
But you also have the cost of man hours, marketing that you buy gold, finding a smelter that will take teeth, or do it yourself. That’s not all profit, plus you don’t know the gold weight until you remove it from the tooth. Which is risk. Plus it’s possibly a biohazard.

These people buy millions per day in gold, I’m sure if it was profitable they wouldn’t turn it away.

You can try it though, go to all the gold stores in your area and tell them you’ll buy all the teeth they bring in.
