If the economical case justifies it you can use a cheap or lower end model to generate the meta information. Considering how cheap gpt-4o-mini is, seems pretty plausible to do that.

ISO is likely a driver behind this. From the article:

> This is where things get wonky. Since many of these standards are put together by private organizations (companies, standards bodies, whatever), some of them could qualify for copyright. But, then, lawmakers will often require certain products and services to meet those standards. That is, the laws will “reference” those standards (for example, how to have a building be built in a safe or non-polluting manner).

> [...]

> Still, that did not get at the specific issue of “incorporation by reference” which is at the heart of some of Malamud’s other cases. Two years ago, there was a pretty big victory, noting that his publishing of standards that are “incorporated by reference” is fair use.

> [...] often a large part of [industry standards bodies] own revenue stream comes from selling access to the standards they create, including those referenced by laws.

> So they lobbied Congress to push this Pro Codes Act, which explicitly says that technical standards incorporated by reference retain copyright. To try to stave off criticism (and to mischaracterize the bill publicly), the law says that standards bodies retain the copyright if the standards body makes the standard available on a free publicly accessible online source.

By "society" you mean "banks on behalf of law enforcement as a hack to make their job easier". I think most people hate the oppressive red tape and growing troves of ready-to-leak credentials companies are increasingly incentivized to hoover up from users. While you're at it, "society deems DRM and NSA surveillance to be beneficial".

Show HN: Soot, a tool for visualizing and searching sets of images
Hey everyone,

I’m excited to share a project I’ve been working on: a tool for visualizing and searching massive sets of images. To demonstrate its capabilities, I decided to upload the 5000 best Magic: The Gathering cards into it.

Here’s what you can do with it:

Advanced Search: Find images based on any criteria you desire
Image tagging and metadata: Cluster your images based on attributes
Interactive Filters: Narrow down your search with various filters and categories
Generative Content: Based on your content, generate similar images with Dall-E 3

Check it out and let me know what you think! Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

The discourse marker “actually” seems to signal a counter-argument, but your reply does not counter that speculation/claim; that people in the other camp—there are of course two camps, we’re good dualists after all—act with deflection using religion or whatever says nothing about what the motivations for the other camp are. They could both have twisted motivations.

The question is what is "open source" in the case of a matrix of numbers, as opposed to code.

Also, are there any "IP" rights attached at all to a bunch numbers coming out of a formula that someone else calculated for you? (edit: after all, a "model" is just a matrix of numbers coming out of running a training algorithm that is not owned by Meta over training data that is not owned by Meta.)

Meta imposes a notification duty AND a request for another license (no mention of the details of these) for applications of their model with a large number of users. This is against the spirit of open source. (In practical terms it is not a show stopper since you can easily switch models, although they all have subtlely different behaviours and quality levels.)

Suppose a crawler or rival search engine doesn’t respect robots.txt, reddit can’t stop them. Make it a bit trickier, yes, but not stop them.
This is a false dichotomy. You can have services, and not have them devolve into complete unusability in the name of profit. This isn’t sustainable either. The myopic pursuit of short term gains at the expense of the product will collapse at some point in the future, no matter how much you believe in this weird frog-boil internet we’ve inherited now.
It is extremely difficult to agree on a healthy middle. If you look at something I think most people consider much safer, we see how hard it is. What is a safe level of high fructose corn syrup that should be allowed as an ingredient of hamburger buns?

At some level, everything we put into our bodies has consequences, but it seems terrifying to me to have discussions about a healthy middle ground of how much meth is ok in a serving of mozzarella. Then again, I have no idea if the fancy chemical names currently listed as ingredients on the labels of food I eat are preservatves or what, and what their actual consequences are to my health.
Turkey allows those troops to be there. Ukraine did not want Russian troops on their soil. Forcibly ejecting those troops would have likely triggered a confrontation with a far more competent Russian military than the one we see today.
The strange thing to me is how everybody keeps trying to make distributed Twitter happen when distributed Reddit is the low hanging fruit for federated social media.

You don't want to end up banned from a movies forum because you also participate in a political forum. Federation solves that problem because you can use separate accounts without either forum knowing that you also use the other.
> they still need to make money off their investments

Depends on how you define this. Most of the top companies don't care as much about making a profit off of AI inference itself, if the existence of the -feature- of AI inference drives more usage and/or sales of their other products (phones, computers, operating systems, etc.)

That's why, for example, Google and Bing searches automatically perform LLM inference at no cost to the user.
So you know how in school when you read that Constantine the Great became the Roman Emperor in the year 306. It was super confusing what was meant by the year 306 but if the book had 00306 you would have known right off what year they were talking about.

HTML tables don't necessarily make this easy but but when you have numbers as tabular data, the "subcolumns" should line up when numbers have the same meaning. So if the number 17,000 is directly above 9,000, the 9 and 7 should be in same horizontal space.

A lot of fonts include tabular number variants (or just use them by default) which also makes them visually line up when you get this part correct. Not necessary but keeps the look cleaner, a real concern with dense numeric tables.

I did a CT scan recently for something unrelated which found some soft tissue lesion in the thymus. Cue doctors trying to tell me that I should just remove the thymus since it's not possible to do a biopsy and anyway the thymus is useless. Read recent research in NJEM that shows that removing the thymus increases risks of getting cancer and that it's anything but benign.

Eventually, I did a PET scan, got second opinions (that think it's most likely hyperplasia), determined that given the result of the PET scan, I don't have carcinoma or anything that is likely to be fast progressing. So, I won't operate, I will do regular MRIs to check the progress and monitor that it's not anything.

All this to say, that yes, having that result mostly caused additional stress for something that is actually likely to have already been there for years and years.
No, at some point gravity becomes important and you can make enormous atomic nuclei. Neutron stars are about 5% protons. I don't think people would think these would count though as it's not like you can have chemistry between neutron stars and the electrons do not behave like they do in atoms. And past another point you just get a black hole.

So clearly there is a limit. Either bounded by the point where gravity becomes dominant or when you get a black hole.
one more tip I want to share: when you have a dramatic hypo or your blood sugar is dramatically high, double-check with the old school prick-test device. Your CGM might exaggerate. That stopped some nefarious cycles of being too high, then too low etc. for me.

It’s rarely that simple. People are really bad at being told what to do, and will often double down. Especially in bad relationships. Usually the best you can do is be there for them when they do decide to fix things on their own.

Depends how embedded and how many servers it's talking to. I'm also not sure you can really tolerate false positives, since the main domain you talk to might get revoked, but there are alternatives to Bloom filters that eliminate those. In any case it's going to be hard to go below about 0.8-1 byte per revoked cert (common case where most certs aren't revoked) even with a fancy data structure.

You will surely want to shard the CRL, so if the device only accesses a few servers (and thus only has a few shards) then it'll be fine, but if it accesses many servers then there will be trouble, and you'll want to reserve extra space in case of a mass revocation.
Even in this cost of living crisis, over the last six months I've been ever so slowly been putting money aside by not dining out, cancelled my streaming services, cutting down on utility usage (heating) and even started collecting aluminium cans to scrape together the USD191.76 I have due on 26th August for 2 years of service.

No. Regardless of anything about definitions or stability that other commenters have mentioned, the mass of possible elements is bounded by General Relativity.

There is a theoretical upper bound on the mass of an elementary particle at which it will collapse into a black hole. Fundamental particles can not be heavier than the Planck Mass, and Atoms should have a corresponding value at which they will likewise collapse into a black hole.

Black holes do not satisfy even the loosest definition of an element.
I always wondered why a RAG index has to be a vector DB.

I implemented a toy market ledger in Rust. I initially thought to use a B-Tree because that's the conventional wisdom right? It was sooooo slow. Running valgrind showed that 99.5% of the time was spent doing memory allocation and traversing pointers.

A hashmap of vectors was so stupidly fast. If you keep them sorted each insertion is dirt cheap, and binary search is dirt cheap.

Wouldn't anything lobbed into a black hole with angular significant mass appear to be falling in forever?

From the reference frame of the object, it falls in real time. From the reference frame of us, all time would pass before it falls in.

> But it is a problem, because somewhere along the line one of those indirect dependencies is going to start conflicting with something else in the graph; the bigger the graph, the more conflicts.

Rust is statically compiled, so it’s possible to have different versions of the same dependency in your dependency graph without build issues. Yes, that can lead to binary bloat and slower build times and some related problems, but in practice the compiler is good at dealing with those issues.

Ask HN: Best Practices for LLM Chatbot that references user account details?
What's the current best practice for including personalized user account details (e.g. for queries like "How much did I spend on this credit card last month?") into a LLM chatbot?

Specifically, assuming the user has already been authenticated properly, how is the user details retrieved, how is the data re-formatted, and how is the data ultimately fed into the LLM? This is a function in many popular banking chatbots, e.g. Bank of America's Erica, but there is scarce information about the actual implementation.

Is this really a risk with LSD though? LSD in particular seems to have a sub-culture of people that are out there making it for the good of humanity (in their eyes). At <$4/tab and being a drug you -- or at least I -- wouldn't want to take more than a few times per year, it doesn't seem to have the profit motive that your typical club drugs have. I guess you could accidentally get an NBOMe from a dealer that didn't know any better, but you're not going to overdose on it. I'd be more concerned with getting something nasty when buying MDMA or ketamine.

But yeah ultimately I agree, I'd like to buy LSD at a pharmacy which I know is pure and 150ug per dose, full stop.

Yeah it's definitely similar to having parent nodes summarize their children. The motivation for the flat array structure was to have an entirely fixed-size array that's contiguous in memory to make it friendly for SIMD filtering. Having the data in the tree on the other hand could probably filter a little better since it can summarize at multiple levels, but my bet is that the flat array allows for a faster implementation for the case here with a few thousand intervals. On the one hand, the whole working set should probably fit in L1 cache for both the tree or a flat array, but on the other hand, a tree with pointers needs to do some pointer chasing. The tree could alternatively be represented in a flat array, but then elements need to be shuffled around. I don't know which is faster in practice for this problem, but my gut says the speed of a flat array + SIMD probably outweighs potential asymptotic improvements for the few thousand case
