They don't actually have to. The 5th and 6th fleet coupled with the various large air bases in the vicinity would have little trouble it pancaking the entire site before the Turks managed to make off with anything if it really came down to it. It's tanks all the way down.
Reality: they've realize gpt 4 is a wall, they can't keep pouring trillions of dollars into it for no improvement or little at all, so now they want to put it to the open source until someone figures out the next step then they'll take it behind closed doors again.

I hate how the moment it's too late will be, by design, closed doors.
Having read all of Azimov - but only the Dark Forrest trilogy by Liu Cixin, I actually think they're more comparable than you suggest. Both are hard science fiction 'ideas men'. Fairly uncomfortable with deep characterisation or 'literary' writing. Capturing vast scopes of time and space in space operas that are somehow more charming and interesting than their broad scope and concept heavy setups have any right to be. Azimov is more of a well rounded intellectual - the man literally wrote hundreds of general knowledge and popular science books. And it shows in his depth of reference and context. Cixin seems more rooted (inevitably) in authoritarianism and historicism. These critiques are obviously subjective. I've greatly enjoyed the work of both, but Cixin has a long long way to go before he can demonstrate the longevity let alone influence of an Azimov. They do share one other thing in common though - the adaptations of their work have been enormously disappointing, arguably entirely missing the point of the original series.

Re: A hero's journey, hard disagree. There are numerous heroes in the original foundation series, and the later books have one very well drawn one - Golan Trevize, in addition to a host of memorable characters.
I don't get it. They host the videos for you, why shouldn't they recoup their hosting/traffic costs somehow?

Scammy? Evil? Damn...
Motor doping is somewhat different imho. It's a ballsy move to propose something like "hey, you'd be a faster cyclist if you rode a motorbike". After all with conventional doping it was still your body, sweat and pain.
Long distance a lot of trains run through Birmingham. If you pick a journey between two of the top 20 urban areas cities by most direct rail routes very few go though London.

There’s certainly a capacity issue though.
> It's a big neon sign that says "hey, this function call is expensive".

IMO the more important part is that it can yield control. Half the advantage of cooperative multithreading is knowing where you may yield control makes sharing memory more or less workable.

I also like Trio’s model: if it’s async, it will yield control, even if the result is already available so it doesn’t technically have to. Makes it more difficult to accidentally starve other tasks. (I suppose I also have to mention Curio’s model: if it’s async, it’s a scheduler upcall, whether yielding or not. But for all that Curio deserves credit for freeing Python from asyncio hell, I just don’t find myself caring about things being scheduler upcalls or not.)
Meh. It takes an incredibly fine-tuned level of danger for run vs jog to make a difference.
And me, I'm just moving out, after 15 years in Warsaw, because I hate it.

I agree that it's mostly safe, but green, or clean? And the public transportation is a mixed bag, my daily commute to the office used to be 1h each way (around 6 miles distance). Cost of living is ridiculously high compared to the rest of Poland, software engineers, businessmen and celebrities are probably the only ones who really can afford it.

But the main reason I'm leaving is because people here are assholes. As a capital city of Poland Warsaw attracts the worst kind of scum, politicians, wannabe celebrities, con men, corporate drones, gold diggers, etc.

If I could have one wish it would be for Putin to nuke Warsaw.
So it’s just a coincidence that I also like (relatively less caffeinated) tea, herbal infusions (no caffeine — or any active ingredient — at all), and other such beverages?

Even if what you suggest is true, it might equally apply to listening to music, going for a run, and other activities that induce a pleasurable physiological response.

I’ll say something that seems to be incredibly controversial around these parts: caffeine is basically harmless, and so is alcohol when consumed in moderation. I guess most people just don’t understand what ‘moderation’ actually means — it’s less than you might think. Cocaine, of course, is not harmless at all.

> they throw a kind of spell on you, so that, from your trippy perspective, you think that you're not addicted.

Sounds like bro science to me. Empirically, most addicts know they’re addicted even if they won’t admit it.
Someone should calculate how much lower medical costs will be with fewer ice engines on the road. Honestly curious if that is one of the payback strategies for the government.
From a legal perspective, yea. If we end up having any legal protection against training AI models, legal liability will be a huge mess for everyone involved. From an engineering perspective, if all you need is the pretrained weights, there's not a clear way Facebook could show up and break your product from a technological perspective, as compared to if the thing is relying on, say, an OpenAI API key rather than a self-hosted Llama instance
Seems like a bastardization of the concept of "planned". Obviously pricing and subsidies come into play but that doesn't prevent the result from still being a market-based approach.

You will not find a single capitalist who doesn't do some market research to determine a price for their product. Utilities are largely the same.
Indeed it does.
But also the price for output tokens of the OCR is cheaper. So in total it's still much cheaper with gpt-4o-mini.
I do not live in the US, but I believe that parity between US annual national prosecutorial funding and annual national public defense funding could alleviate the problem.

Fast enough to cash out at highly favorable and ambitious valuations while the ARR trajectory supports it. You’re selling potential, you don’t have to deliver; that’s the next team’s problem.
Excited about this - though probably more the 70B than 405B because its also really good & will be accessible for cheap & in bulk.

If we’re going to be realistic about it, then maybe we should take that $1m RSU grant down a notch or two. Those are extremely, extremely rare. The typical numbers are far lower than that, and if you’ve been there, you know it’s true.

That being the case, the amount of stock options and the exit criteria for an equivalent startup exit are far lower than you posit. It doesn’t need to be a unicorn to put your annual compensation into the mid to upper six figures.
What a spiteful way to blow a ton of money
I work in accessibility as an engineer.

Now that digital web properties are included the ADA, there are law firms out there essentially doing the same thing. They are actively scanning the internet to find companies who have accessibility issues which are primarily widgets or overlays. Then they're emailing them the issues and "allowing" them 90 days to correct the issues, otherwise, they will be sued.

There's been like a 400% increase in these suits over the last two years because you can go after a large company and even if they fix one issue, you can find another issue and sue or threaten them on that one as well.

My co-workers think its great because of the pressure to solve these issues that really do need to be fixed. But like in this instance, its a fine line between doing something positive and extorting money for yourself or in our case, a law firm.
the other leagues have arenas which are vehicles for bribes. Cycling events span many different regions , are not as lucrative and don't have the means to cover up doping scandals like the other leagues do.
> What’s the status on the Boring company? [...] the issue is not a lack of technology

Iterative hardware development can take time. A brief search suggests: Using the Prufrock-2 version TBM, the Las Vegas Convention Center loop has picked up a couple of nearby hotels, and work has started on the first long extension, 3 km south along Paradise Rd to near the airport (1-2 years). Prufrock-3 is being exercised tunneling around the Tesla Giga Texas factory[1]. Prufrock-4 is nearing completion, and -5 is in design.

Olympian competitors using PEDs aren't running around on vast amounts of aromatase inhibitors and diuretics to completely eliminate all water from their bodies - this is practically standard in pro bodybuilding.

Powerlifters don't die nearly as frequently and it's largely because aesthetic dryness isn't required.

Olympians also aren't explicitly trying to obtain mass as a goal and wouldn't customarily be walking around at 5'10"/300lbs (for instance - extrapolate) as a bodybuilder might in their off-season. Excess mass is usually detrimental in most Olympic sports and is avoided.

Being medically obese, regardless of body composition, is tough on the human heart - add in extreme/forced dehydration, stimulants, and possibly recreational drugs, and you have a recipe for early expiration.
Active debris removal is almost at the level if being an experimental technology.

If it works, and if it gets cheaper as the technology matures, it might let use remove derelict satellites before they break up into smaller pieces.

It is usually easier to remove a few thousand big pieces of trash than to remove millions of small pieces of trash.
Sounds very interesting. I will try it out. Thanks.

May as well enjoy it while it lasts, but yeah it echoes the precarious state that VR is currently in, where Meta is more or less propping up the entire consumer market with their willingness to burn billions of dollars on Reality Lab every quarter, and anyone investing in VR development just has to hope that rug doesn't get pulled from under them any time soon. Llama 3.1 isn't going away of course, but how much are you willing on gamble on Llama 3.1 possibly being the last SOTA model to be released this freely?
Got it.

Which of course is equivalent to the statement "I have begun the process of understanding, but do not yet know what I do not know". My old High School teacher used to complain that I claimed understanding long before I actually reached it.

Anyway, thank you, and that seems a clever concept. I can't help but think that it's solving a problem that the language itself created - though that it doubtless an artifact of my as-yet limited understanding.

So "From" has to return something that might be an error, in some way. Just so that the Try... variants can be generated. And generic callers have to write something to handle that error - though presumably concrete callers do not because of the empty type.
>locked into their system

There are going to be loads of providers for these open models. Openrouter already has 3 providers for the new 405B model within hours.
For the release, yes. But from now onwards everyone will benefit from Llama 3.1 regardless of Meta's involvement. That's the advantage; I can build something with Llama 3.1 and it will keep working indefinitely without any dependence on another party.
Yeah, look at all the Russian figure skaters. Nearly all of their medalists are using canes by 30 just to get around.
"Hurt everyone" is not most people's ideal strategy. Maybe North Korea would go for that, but it's really preferred to hurt the enemy more than yourself.
Yeah, that's a good point. On the other hand, the model is out there, irrevocably so, and you can use knowledge distillation techniques to train other weaker models. So yeah, we're not fully independent, but the situation is significantly improved.

I tend to agree. It's not a meaningless question but definitely not one that the actor playing Lady Macbeth needs to answer for herself.

As for "having multiple children leads to downward mobility" -- I'm not saying it's wrong, but I'd like to see some actual data on that. I thought the pattern was more "first son inherits, second son goes into the Army or Navy, third et al go into the clergy." And a clerical life was not bad at all, until 1850 or so.

For multiple daughters: well, if they don't all have great dowries, then they don't get high born husbands. They still get married.

Wording change and clarification for purchasing Immich
I think your description of television much better fits the mould of 90's network TV (24 weekly episodes per year) than prestige era limited series or narrative arc TV. Foundation could absolutely be done as an anthology show in the vein of American Horror story - where each season covered an era of an unfolding narrative, with characters like Hari Seldon and R.Daniel recurring as audience favourites.

Either way though, there are issues with the adaptation that are quite distinct from eschewing the episodic arc of the original trilogy. It's full of spiritual woo for one, which is entirely antithetical to Azimov's vision. It's also more than fond of sadistic violence. Azimov's whole method as a writer was to have smart characters solve difficult problems intellectually. 'Violence is the last resort of the incompetent' after all.
eh synthetic data sets based on llama 3.1 will train some fun models
Intentions are overrated. Given how many people with good intentions fuck up everything, I'd rather have actual results, even if the intention is self-serving.
The model is "open-source" for the purpose of software engineering, and it's "closed data" for the purpose of AI research. These are separate issues and it's not necessary to conflate them under one term

Alexa can add things to your shopping list but not take them off. You have to manually delete items in your shopping cart. This exemplifies why Alexa was never going to be successful. It is a user hostile experience.
Javascript necessitates async because of its focus on UI. You just can not have good UI while blocking on the main (or UI) thread, you will inevitably have something like async and callbacks, so you might as well embrace it. Whether that is a good tradeoff for a server is a different question.
I had one in Oregon with my then 8 or 9 year old step daughter. We were on rocks WELL above the wave line (like 6+ feet, dry rock leading the surf maybe 20 feet away). And (this is where I screwed up) we were about 50-100 yards out on this outcrop (so rapid scramble not possible).

Then, sneaker wave. I basically had her jump up "into my arms" so to speak, wrap arms around my neck, legs around my waist, while I situated myself as best I could, and grabbed onto rock with both hands. The water came up to my waist.

That was a genuinely terrifying experience.

Waymo has had a stellar year. 50,000+ rides per week across 3 major cities is nothing to scoff at, their users give overwhelmingly positive reviews. They are now testing their new purpose built robotaxis [1], which are supposed to be cheaper and get them to scale.

They also don't seem to have any real competition right now. Cruise kind of self destructed and it came out today that GM is scrapping plans to build their 'Origin' robotaxis [2]. Tesla pushed out its robotaxi reveal and going by their track record, it won't exist for a long time (they are also nowhere close to doing fully autonomous rides [3], so there's that).

Fully deserved, IMO. It's interesting how this funding round doesn't include external investors, but the previous two did. What's the calculation by Alphabet here?

Did you watch the whole thing? Skip to the 1:15 mark where people go back. The criticism is absolutely warranted here. I guarantee none of those people are capable of predicting what comes next after an explosion like that. I certainly don't. What if the next one is beneath where they're standing at the 1:15 mark and beyond?

I'm not sure how OP's comment doesn't reflect HN's standard of quality. It's exactly the type of quality response that's appropriate for this instance. I'd say your response isn't quite up to it if anything because you're making an argument against someone that is encouraging safety and well-being; and for no apparent reason at all but to point out someone is flawed? I don't get it.
The other side of that is "everything is very survivable on TV". Like you see constant explosions and people just getting knocked over, dusting themselves off, and keep going.

Real life, a lot less so.
The US plan for new warheads- the Reliable Replacement Warhead- was killed by Obama in 2009. (There are minor improvements like the Mod 12 version of the B61 is under production, which is really a remaking of the Mod 4 version, stuff like that.)

However, most of the delivery mechanisms are reaching block obsolescence and will need new replacements soon: the Columbia class ballistic missile submarine to replace the Ohios, the B-21 Raider to replace the B-2, the GBSD to replace the Minuteman III, and the LRSO to replace the ALCM from the same B-52s that flew in 1963 (literally the last year of production for a B-52). It's probably going to be something like a trillion dollars over 30 years, is what outside analysts figure. Because basically Stratcom has been saying "we'll just keep doing what we did in 1989, but smaller" since 1991, and the service lives of all the equipment has run out, and so everything needs to replaced at the same time.

Lol it's not "monopolies" limiting fab capacity. Existing fab companies can barely manage to stand-up a new fab in different cities. Fabs are impossibly complex and beyond risky to fund.

It's the kind of thing you'd put government money to making but it's so risky government really don't want to spend billions and fail so they give existing companies billions so if they fail it's not the governments fault.
Hell, even with agreeing to a very rigid world view, that'd be a dream. Imagine an AI proof assistant that does two things:

1. writes more proofs, focusing on the area I point at

2. makes small, atomic, incremental, suggestions to make it easier to prove something; once those pass proofs+tests, go back to #1

But hey, that would likely require some sort of artificial mental models and iterative reasoning, and not just slapping more compute+data together into a word generator...
