During my time in Italy I've found that the answer to this question is actually quite complex.

Options available are:

-Train

-Car on the highway

-Car through back roads, as in Italy there's always such a route going parallel to the highway - sometimes it's even an old highway that was since demoted.

For destinations within a 150km circle around Bologna a one person ticket, fuel and highway toll costs are roughly the same - ~€10 at maximum. In terms of time train takes approximately 20min less, but you have to get to/from the train station. On the other end, the back roads take an additional hour or so.

Overall the cost table per number of people is like this:

No. of people | 1 | 2 | 3 |
70min Train | 10 | 20 | 30 |
90min Car highway | 20 | 20 | 20 |
150min Car back roads| 10 | 10 | 10 |

There's also Frecciarossa, which takes 60m or even less, but costs €30, so it's left out of the table.

I've actually picked every option from the table at least once because there are additional considerations beyond that few EUR difference, like being able to head back after 10pm, when you'd be hard-pressed to find a train connection or expensive parking like in Venice.
> That's survivor bias. Fewer people blog about unsuccessful initiatives.

I don't understand what point you're trying to make. Should we give equal credit to unsuccessful initiatives when their failure is due to screwing up a critical part of the project?

I mean, the successful attempts document what is possible. What do you expect to report when you couldn't even manage to get something working?
Maybe the new facts evict randomly from the cached index of facts? Or maybe they consolidate with old entries into new entries? Eviction from cache doesn't automatically mean deletion from long term storage.
Python 70x worse than C
250$ is a lot of money to me though. I spent €290 on my 16GB GPU for my AI server but that was once off and I really had to think about it.

I'd love to see a llama model that fits now economically inside 16GB. The 8b is a bit too small when quantised even to 8 bits. A 16-20b model would be perfect.

But I think for 400b models to be viable, the hardware pricing really needs to catch up.
> I hate cleaning eggs off

Eggs don't stick in cast iron if you use a little oil. Ignore all the complex advice on seasoning. Just start using a cast iron pan. At first it'll suck and stuff will stick. Over time it'll keep getting better. If you want to help it along you should heat it to the smoke point after you've scraped your egg out and let it cool naturally before cleaning.
That's heavy battery package. Is the heart much more efficient than these devices? I'd doubt so.

Cryptography is every download you ever do in a browser, bitlocker or equivalent encrypted disk access. Add to that gzip or brotli compression (common in HTTP). Hardware decoders for newer video codecs (such as AV1) are not that common (less than 50% of devices) so most youtube watch time on desktops/laptops is software decoding. It's a lot more than 1%.

> at 34 years of age, about 4.3% of men have died

I think what you are saying is that 34 years after being born 4.3% of male individuals are dead.

In my understanding if someone dies when they are 10 years old they will never be "34 years of age". This probably feels nitpicky but it has thrown me into a loop of trying to understand what you are saying.

(Not even mentioning that I read the table you linked as 4.2% not 4.3%)
You have to use the tools for what they are good at. As search-engine replacements, they are pretty lousy - that's not their strength. My three primary use cases:

- Correcting spelling and grammatical errors in a text I have written, especially in a language that is not my mother tongue. I still have to check the result, but this prevents a lot of silly mistakes.

- Getting examples of particular API calls, for things I don't do often. The AI (usually) delivers correct code examples, along with decent explanations. The result is generally better and more understandable than the official documentation.

- Just for fun, sometimes I ask about random obscure facts that have come up in conversation, or somehow aroused my curiosity. Ask a quick question, get a quick answer without wading through search results.

That’s just implies that there is a common causality - in the case of ice cream and drowning, I suspect that is nice weather.

The GL.iNet MT-6000 Flint2. I have a site to site Wireguard VPN with my brother which I use for offsite backups. It saturates my 500Mbs internet connection when performing backups. I have seen YouTube videos of others successfully testing the 900Mbs throughput claim. I stopped using tailscale myself about a year ago so can’t comment on the performance with it. It uses a user space Wireguard implementation instead of the kernel one so that may impact performance.
In European countries, you do an agreement with an industry union, everyone on the building gets the agreement, regardless of how they feel about it.

From this side of the pound, usually the large majority is happy with the benefits, even without being themselves union members.

That is why countries with strong union culture have negociation rounds of industry leaders with the main union groups, to discuss how the sector will be handled for the current fiscal year.
Still seems more of a "we need the mafia because they prevent you from buying hard drugs" kind of argument. If Facebook is so harmful then we should deal with it directly instead of giving another private company control over what individuals can install and what businesses can or cannot reach half of the population. More to the point whe should require Facebook to allow alternative applications which don't violate your privacy and thus could be on the app store so grandma never has to go searching for the "real" facebook to interact with her friends unless that's something she specifically wants.

Show HN: Why your link management tools fail, even with Notion, Pocket, etc.
Hey HN,
I've been building Cokeep.me, a next-generation tool for saving and managing links powered by AI.

I've used so many bookmarking and link management tools over the years (Notion, Pocket, Raindrop, Evernote, etc.) but they've all fallen short. Most of them are either overly complicated or too limited for teams.

Most importantly, these tools often focus only on saving links without providing efficient ways to organize, search, or collaborate on them.
While they are useful for storing links, they don’t do much to help me keep them organized or share them effectively with my team.

That's why I decided to build Cokeep.me.

I aimed to create a platform that is clean and simple, with powerful features for both personal and team use. Apart from just saving links, I added robust organizational tools, advanced search functionalities, and seamless collaboration features. You can create collections, tag links, and even share them with your team, all in one place.

What sets Cokeep.me apart is its AI capabilities. The AI helps categorize and tag your links automatically, making organization effortless. Now, I can use Cokeep.me to manage my personal bookmarks and collaborate on projects with my team, without the clutter.

If you’ve faced similar challenges, give Cokeep.me a try. Free too.

Let me know if you have any feedback or questions!

It is actually that. If you are including an svg using <img> then you can no longer, say, change the stroke color. It also does not inherit your css from the rest of your site even on first load. Your svg is treated like any other regular png or such.

The Emerging Tech-lash (2022)
Speaking for myself, I can't reasonably think of a way to have "acted on this knowledge to benefit myself" other than warning others in my personal life about the limitations of Machine Learning and the bubble I'm observing.

In my encounters, the people making money off the AI boom (that I feel is a bubble) are large entrenched corporations, and the AI start-ups that have flourished I've encountered had critical factors that would be impossible for me to replicate (Harvard/Princeston grads who have VC investment connections from their family).

The large corporations leveraging it haven't rocketshipped their stock price, and the start-ups that have really increased in valuation are all pre-IPO and aren't exactly inviting me to join in their series A funding rounds.

So all that's left to my observation to "act on this knowledge" would be to try to bafflegab some LLM snakeoil amongst the 1000s or 10ks of identical attempts, and honestly I don't see the LLM bubble being any more viable than any of the previous things (crypto, etc.)

So, is there something I'm missing on how to "capitalize on the knowledge" that the current AI trend is a bubble?
> If your router can handle NAT it certainly can handle an IPv6 firewall.

The point is not that "it can", the point is that on ipv4 "it doesn't work without".

In order for ipv4 to work at all you MUST use NAT, and implicitly a firewall, those two always work together even if there the person installing the system doesn't know the word "firewall", which is usually the case.
Implying that the hilarity of the silly reactions received like "but, but, how did you benefit?" isn't payoff enough?

> The market has repeatedly and thoroughly rejected dispatching to different code paths based on CPU, so the only SIMD implementation that actually matters is the lowest common denominator.

RHEL just moved up to x86_64-v2, equivalent to 2009 level CPUs. And they’re an early mover, Fedora/Ubuntu/Arch have not done the same.

Glibc has used CPU dispatching for str* and mem* functions for over a decade.

Well, that's because the site too is misbehaving there by always erroring. The site should give the correct response based on a bucket algorithm, and this will cause the bot to ease off. Effectively a rate limit is implemented for mutually satisfactory operations.

Soft jamming of viral particles in nanopores
It feels to me that using LLM to classify alerts as noisy is just adding risk instead of fixing the root cause of the problem. If an alert is known to be noisy and have appeared on slack before (which is how the LLM would figure out it's a noisy alert), then just remove the alert? Otherwise, how will the LLM know it's noise? Either it will correctly annoy you or hallucinate a reason it figures that alert is just noise.
I suspect that it isn't the unpredictability, rather it is the acceptable margin of error.

Say you have a 1500 kg car with a 100 hp engine, which starts from a standstill and runs for 5 seconds. How fast will the car be moving at the end of this run? This depends on how much friction the vehicle experiences, and is difficult to accurately predict. Try a similar calculation with a rocket in space, and you can calculate its final speed with a very high degree of certainty.

But now consider the potential impact of a malfunction: if the car engine fails to start, you might be inconvenienced, but you will be fine. On the other hand, if the rocket engine fails to ignite in space, you can't perform necessary orbital maneuvers and you might be in deep trouble.

It's something about environment on Earth being fundamentally hospitable to human life, and environment in space being similarly inhospitable. Because of this, malfunctions and unpredictable system dynamics on Earth are most often just minor inconveniences, while malfunctions in space / underwater / deep underground are disastrous events.

This explanation is the one I’d heard before and it makes a lot more sense to me. My memories of the 90s is that underground DJs were happy to share their music¹ with others and wouldn’t have sullied their vinyl collection by ripping off the labels.

¹ So much so, that they were far less willing to share the decks.

I can be of no help to anyone who only reads the first sentence of a paper and stops, especially when I asked him to read the whole thing. Also anyone with minimal necessary background on temperature proxies for 1850-1890, or a good background on the temperature proxies or models that generate the links you have provided, will immediately see the comedy in "my little lake." But if you want to polemics rather than breadcrumbs from me, you are interacting with the wrong person.

To put it very simply: our evidence for a high feedback factor for added CO2 in the atmosphere and evidence for the forcing effect is entirely dependent on the assumption that temperature was not increasing much before 1940s.

>the future of AI is neurosymbolic

There are a number of ways the future could go but comparing language models like chatGPT to human thinking the more obvious way forward might be visual reasoning and spatial modeling.

A lot of human thinking is vision related as in 'I see what you mean' 'picture this' and so on. Also comparing current AI to humans it's getting quite good at written exams but terrible at physical stuff like getting some milk from the shop and making a cup of coffee. Also the emergence of something like physics in the likes of SORA suggests it's possible.

On the other hand symbolic logic along the lines of algebra is quite a specialist area that humans have to be taught in maths classes and many get by without learning. I presume AI will get good at it but it doesn't seem the most obvious way forward unless you want it to do maths.

(by the way I came across a paper on trying to go this way https://spatial-vlm.github.io/ - adding 3d data to a multimodal large language model)

I guess human reasoning has three major areas - language, visual/spatial and also thinking of other thinking entities like other people, the cat wants to go out etc. Likely consciousness relates to the last category - does he feel like I feel and the like.
Like documentation, you should do this while it's fresh in your head, but I get it.
Ha, nice! I secretly hoped someone would mention their real-world usage of "ridiculously" large SVG dimensions, so thanks for the reference!

Your story implies there actually were some viewers that could handle it correctly? Could you recall more details what were they? (My testing was pitifully limited to current browsers only, but I know there must be vast amount of other viewers.)

And if I may ask, did you map one SVG "point" to some length unit (e.g. meter, so getting 84e6 wide wiewBox), or did you assume 90 DPI "pixel" mapping to ~0.2822 mm?
Unless you buy some obsolete Epyc CPU with a small number of cores, which would be slower than even one up-to-date Ryzen 9 9950X (which can beat even 32-core older Epycs in compute-limited tasks that use vector instructions), 4 Ryzen boxes with 16 cores & 64 GB ECC memory each should be significantly cheaper (probably not exceeding $6000) and also faster than one box with an Epyc CPU and 256 GB, where the CPU alone could be more expensive than the complete Ryzen systems, if bought at retail prices.

I actually happen to have in my home a cluster of five eATX cases, which stay on two adjacent IKEA metallic tables and which are connected in a ring of direct 10 Gb/s Ethernet links (i.e. they all have dual-port NICs). Therefore it is not really impractical, even if such a configuration may be infrequent.

In the distant past, I was using dual-socket Xeon or Opteron motherboards in those cases, because such MBs and CPUs were much cheaper than today. Then, by the time of Zen 1, when the Epyc CPUs were still very cheap, the upgrades have been to single-socket Epyc MBs. More recently, Epyc became much more expensive and Ryzen CPUs have much better performance per dollar, so the latest upgrades have been to Ryzen MBs. I look forward to the launch of Ryzen 9 9950X, which should double the throughput of the vector operations, 5 years after Ryzen 9 3950X (Zen 2) has done the same in 2019.

As my PC, I use an Intel NUC. Whenever I need to execute something for which that would be too weak, I launch it on one or more of the servers, by using Wake-on-LAN and shutting them down after the task is completed. In this way, my average electrical power consumption is much less than if I used a beefy desktop, while the peak performance is much higher.
