I have played a mix of professionally, casually, and semi-professionally for the last ~20 years, in a broad mix of games and formats - while his points on volume are definitely true and not a new concept, the determination I've also come to over the years playing 10k+ tournaments and probably ~1k of those being live - you will never see the long run in the large multi-table format. I have seen horrific losing streaks, insane winning streaks, and soul crushing break even stretches of years with players that are much, much stronger than I am. Most of my big tournament cashes have come down to a few coin flips, any one of them losing would have resulted in a bust.

Smaller tournaments and cash games have much smaller variance and are what I would recommend for anyone trying to make a living for poker - large multi-table tournaments are moonshots and should be treated as such. His points about staking are valid in terms of "diversification" for a poker pro, but TBH, the staking scene is almost uniformly full of degenerates (on the stakee side) and predators (on the staker side). The fundamental problem is that the venn diagram of a winning/good player but also needs a piece of his action bought tends to be an inherently unreliable set of people.

Sounds about right, but like most people that deal with the industry they only think in terms of their own lifespan, and Simpsons paradox keeps those that die of cancer from participating in conversations. Every long term disposal facility has leaked radioactive waste, and that is very different from the irradiated pristine water from a maintained hermetic cooling system.

I think we'll have to agree to disagree on that policy decision.

Call me a jerk, but anyone who is editing audio seriously, probably wants the waveform, no?
It's reading code from a file, which you can make arrangements for to be there at any time you want.

Files are not directly relevant to macros.

The code that a macro invocation has access to by design is the datum which comprises that invocation itself. That may have come from an expression in a file, and may be annotated in some way with the location info. Other than that, macros do not necessarily have access to their textual source code. No such thing necessarily exists because macros can be invoked by code that was generated (possibly by other macros or in other ways) and so never existed as characters in a file.

I don't have a clear picture of the architecture of the system that the article refers to, but the author presents, as his end result, a defn form, which defines a function and not a macro.

If a macro is needed to get that function to be called at compile time, that would be a minor hooking detail, and not an instance of a macro being used to perpetrate a complex code transformation. The function just needs a file name and a string.

(It looks as if the author's system may be interactive; the code files are there all the time and can be changed, and he wants the view of the files to refresh?)
That is the problem with these programs. You will never get full buy in from the population unless EVERYONE benefits from it. Just look at social security and Medicare if you go to cut that it is political suicide.
If A is making $1 and B is making $1000, A has to survive on 0.1% of what the economy produces.

If A is making $1001 and B is making $2000, A has to survive on 33% of what the economy produces.

Even if inflation could be exclusive to basic needs, causing A’s costs and B’s costs to both rise by $1000, the economy now heavily incentivizes more competition around satisfying basic needs. All rent going up equally regardless of unit size means it’s time to start building or converting luxury apartments to multiple low income apartments.

None of Meta's models are "open source" in the FOSS sense, even the latest Llama 3.1. The license is restrictive. And no one has bothered to release their training data either.

This post is an ad and trying to paint these things as something they aren't.
Everyone complaining about not having data access: Remember that without meta you would have openai and anthropic and that's it. I'm really thankful they're releasing this, and the reason they can't release the data is obvious.
You've shown up twice to neg about this, but this isn't a problem with systemd-networkd's DHCP client.

Right now there's no rules engine for the DHCP server to dynamically generate options. Sure, you can't embed Lua scripts in the server at this point.

But bro, this has nothing to do with the discussion here. The DHCP client works fine, has no such concerns or issues. Stop blowing smoke.
They cannot legally enforce this, because they don’t have the rights to the content they trained it on. Whoever’s willing to fund that court battle would likely win.

There’s a legal precedent that says hard work alone isn’t enough to guarantee copyright, i.e. it doesn’t matter that it took millions of dollars to train.
Your marginal dollars are taxed at the rate they fall into. So even if you get paid another $200k on top of what you already earn, that additional $200K is taxed on top of your unchanging lower tax rates.

Good to hear! I'm glad NM (and other tools) exist, and I'm not saying they shouldn't. My needs are adequately met by the tools systemd-networkd provides, and I find it works well. Again, it's optional.

I also wasn't really referring to NM itself, but about other ancillary daemons that were referenced in the GP.
Except normally the result of a microcode workaround is that the chip no longer performs at its claimed/previously-measured level. Not "as good" by any standard.

For example, Intel CPU + Spectre mitigation is not "as good" as a CPU that didn't have the vulnerability in the first place.

The source-code to Ad tracking platform is useless to users.

At the end, it's actually Facebook doing the right thing (though they are known for being evil).

It's a bit of an irony.

The supposedly "good" and "open" people like Google or OpenAI, haven't given their model weights.

A bit like Microsoft became the company that actually supports the whole open-source ecosystem with GitHub.

> Because the stress and risks of running a small business as a solo inexperienced first time business owner are insane compared to a regular 9-5.

Believe it or not you get over this. It’s kind of like the fear of going up on stage to give a presentation. Some people get an addictive rush, these are usually serial entrepreneurs who just love to be in charge because they have no problems with risk/stress tolerance (mostly). You get better at handling the stress as you get more comfortable with where your business lies and what value you offer, et cetera. Hiring/firing is hard for people but you have no choice and certainly you’re not beholden to give people jobs. People are there to work, do their best at the moment, your job is to ensure them they’re looked after adequately and your door is always open to them if they have to talk to you.

Everyone should attempt to start a small business or a side consulting gig. Failing that, you should strive to make it to VP-suite of your company where in most cases you’ll be tasked with running an arm of the business - the risks are there but it’s more of a simulated environment as well. The CEO will shit test you in almost everything you do and say and this is the grilling you will need, because they expect you to be capable of running things in their stead.

The article argues that the threat of foreign espionage is not solved by closing models.

> Some people argue that we must close our models to prevent China from gaining access to them, but my view is that this will not work and will only disadvantage the US and its allies. Our adversaries are great at espionage, stealing models that fit on a thumb drive is relatively easy, and most tech companies are far from operating in a way that would make this more difficult. It seems most likely that a world of only closed models results in a small number of big companies plus our geopolitical adversaries having access to leading models, while startups, universities, and small businesses miss out on opportunities.
This is actually a promising endeavor. Id love to see someone try that.
> no one has bothered to release their training data

If the FOSS community sets this as the benchmark for open source in respect of AI, they're going to lose control of the term. In most jurisdictions it would be illegal for the likes of Meta to release training data.
The irony of this letter being written by Mark Zuckerburg at Meta, while OpenAI continues to be anything but open, is richer than anyone could have imagined.
Does Social Media Poison Everything?
UBI creates inflation. I think anyone trying to deny that amounts to denying it because they really want UBI, and so they need it to not have that bad effect, but it does. You can't pour money into an economy without a productivity offset without inflating it.

The theory is that productivity increases will in fact offset it. One way to prevent an increase in money causing inflation is to correspondingly increase the value generated by the economy. Some economic theories, including the current dominant mainstream one, would suggest that if you have that sort of productivity increase you need to increase the money supply to avoid negative impacts brought on by deflation.

One of my several major problems with the idea is I see almost no one trying to figure out how to actually bind the productivity increases together with UBI. Even if I stipulate for the sake of argument a perfectly functioning UBI system working exactly as the advocates propose, as gracious as I can possibly be, it is still a fragile system. Droughts, wars, asteroid strikes, volcanos, bad crop years, supply chain disruptions, normal economic variations including recessions, these things all happen. The productivity excess will shrink at times, but, no politician under any political governing scheme could reduce the payouts, and after long enough on UBI, the hypothetical paradise it produces full of wonderful artists and musicians and programmers creating text editors rather than CRUD apps and people just enjoying life also produces an economy full of people who can't help get the economy back on its feet when there is a disruption... but they're still there with their hands out.

"Open weights" is a more appropriate term but I'll point out that these weights are also largely inscrutable to the people with the code that trained it. And for licensing reasons, the datasets may not be possible to share.

There is still a lot of modifying you can do with a set of weights, and they make great foundations for new stuff, but yeah we may never see a competitive model that's 100% buildable at home.

Edit: mkolodny points out that the model code is shared (under llama license at least), which is really all you need to run training https://github.com/meta-llama/llama3/blob/main/llama/model.p...

Don't know their specific process, but this sounds like "we got a bunch of submissions and yours didn't make the cut."

Honestly, rather than this being a nefarious "too dangerous even for defcon" like your wording suggests, I think the author knows why it didn't make the cut and snarkily addressed it:

> I’d love to write a long detailed blog about getting a root shell via UART or extracting the firmware via JTAG and then reversing it, but the honest truth is I found a vulnerability in the webapp in the first 15 minutes of having the unit online and it was the first thing I tried.

So my guess is so basic it just wasn't interesting enough. /shrug
They don't just have an Android app, they have an app everywhere. Apple TV+ is as ubiquitous as Netflix at this point. Hell, they have an Xbox app! How minuscule is the confluence of I have an Xbox, and I pay for Apple TV+, but I don't have an Apple TV device.

I'm wondering if at some point Apple doesn't look at how much engineering effort goes into all those useless apps for a service that is bleeding money and decides to reassign the workforce. Money is basically infinite for Apple, but good engineers are its most valuable resource.
It would be better that the government removes IP on such technology for public use, like drugs got generics.

Most cars let you engage at 20mph going by my purchases since 2010. (Ford, Toyota, Kia all 20mph). The only weird one was my VW which let you engage at 25 then thumb it down to 20mph with the controls if I'm remembering correctly. I only know this because I'm a huge fan of this curvy 15 mile stretch of bayou road with a 20mph limit and its rare that a car hasn't let me engage it that low.

I've had the same thought for a long time. I think this is spot-on. Ballmer is underrated in that he put Microsoft into a profoundly well-resourced position that a better product leader was then able to make productive use of.
Well that Windows 11 article is laughably short, considering it's a major version. But I appreciate you taking the time to compile all those links.

My point is the vast majority of this stuff is either "fluff" or cosmetic changes or random things that 99% of users don't use OR they are security and bug patches. HN users are not typical, so I'm sure some of the Windows updates are very important for people like us.

Maybe to Microsoft this is a significant rewrite: "The Calculator has been completely rewritten in C# and includes several new features." (Just picked at random.) Ok, but like why? Who cares? What was wrong with the last calculator? Absolutely nothing. Also who even uses Windows calculator instead of Excel or their phone? Was calculator rewritten to justify an FTE somewhere at Microsoft?

I'm not trying to troll, but I am trying to be contrarian. I honestly feel like a majority of desktop users don't really think too hard about their OS. None of the existing OSes should be significantly rewritten unless they are just completely flawed. Like say Apple decides to ditch the microkernel or Linux goes to Rust. Most people need stability and security, not new calculator features or different button shading. I'm singling out Microsoft for being the only one that rent seeks for superfluous changes. Apple is notoriously bad about wasting users time with constant updates for dumb stuff, but at least it's free, except for the cost of time while your computer slowly reboots and updates.
Depends on what you're comparing it to. This thread is about unconditional cash. Giving everyone $1000 a month, unconditionally, is clearly many times more expensive than subsidizing the minimum wage by $1 an hour - it's rather difficult to work 1000 hours when a month has ~730 hours!

The "investment" (assuming that's what you mean by the math) can be as high or as low as any other proposal, there's nothing special about it. You can adjust the $/hr that you subsidize and the size of the group that is eligible to fit the proposed investment.

It is indeed incredibly stupid if the reason why you didn't find a suitable partner is because you didn't want to lower your PhD standard (or academic requirements as if that has anything to do with stable love).

Every car I've been in with Adaptive Cruise Control (which I think is standard on ID.4) allows you to activate the system at any vehicle speed but with a set minimum cruise speed (20+ mph in my experience). It's a useful feature in traffic where you'd want the car to keep distance with the car in front of it even below 20+ mph.

But combine that with lackluster AEB, poor detection of stationary objects, and capacitive buttons and its a real problem.

I don’t find any mention of this on the study. But even if there was you realize how insignificant that signal is compared to everything else right? From personal anecdotes to any married bald man it’s trivial to show it’s irrelevant. Like others have said work on what you can improve, like getting fit, and obviously confidence and empathy first by getting female friends and in the process realizing they are not cavewomen. If you are seriously looking at studies for what is attractive then that’s 100% the problem, not your hair.
The problem is that any public cluster would be outdated in 2 years. At the same time, GPUs are massively overpriced. Nvidia's profit margins on the H100 are crazy.

Until we get cheaper cards that stand the test of time, building a public cluster is just a waste of money. There are far better ways to spend $1b in research dollars.
Interesting, Linq.Expression actually looks doable within my complexity budget.
Disappointing to hear considering the limitations of CRLs - is there any intention to go forward with OCSP stapling or is that completely abandoned at this point?
I have made decent money working for a company that went public. (Remember to sell ASAP unless you are so confident in the stock that you purchase additional shares with your own $).

I do pretty well doing my own thing. But there was a ramp-up, and it wasn't overnight (much like some LI influencers would have you believe). Regarding the effort of creating your own thing, yes, there is a lot of non-sexy stuff that no one talks about because it is non-sexy.

An additional benefit for me is flexibility. Being able to go to my kid's school function or help coach a team is more important to me than professional accolades.

As far as the work. Yes, it is a lot of work. But theoretically, you are doing your own thing because you like it. My work is generally self-motivating. I can't say the same about when I worked for others.
