The first criteria is whether you will be remote for a U.S. company or working within the region you're moving. That will have a huge impact on your options. If you're going for local work, keep in mind that international tech sectors can vary widely. Some countries have modern economies but underdeveloped tech industries. They tend to heavily recruit foreign workers. You'll be treated like royalty, but that doesn't mean it's interesting or fun to work there. Others have a large supply of tech workers but poor conditions for actual tech companies, like Poland and France.

Also, many countries and cultures have completely different work ethics and expectations. You may be used to fairly loose structures in terms of hours and management hierarchies. Many countries still expect tech workers to work like engineers from 20+ years ago. That means all day in your chair, long hours, and reporting to a manager that is not invested in your personal experience. American tech workers are often shocked when they land in these places.

In the opposite direction, if you work with many western Europeans, you'll be surprised at how some of them aren't very work oriented. That may be frustrating to people used to American companies. Also, communication is very different. I worked with an Italian engineer who got very loud very fast in any tech debate. It took me a while to get used to it, but I did when I understood that was just his background. He wasn't angry or confrontational, his previous jobs all communicated like that.

Those these kinds of differences exist around the world and can be very difficult for some folks. But, lots people also thrive in those environments. Your mileage may vary.

A small tip I have offered to people is to search for "relocation + [your main language/framework] + [region]" in LinkedIn job search. It will give you a general sense of the demand for particular skillsets industry directions in those areas. It's not foolproof, but usually leads to some interesting locations.
Forgive my naiveté here but even though solutions to those finite-information abstract games are trivial but not necessarily tractable(for a loser definition of tractable here) and we still need to build heuristics for the subclass of such problems where we need solutions in a given finite time frame. Those heuristics might not be easy to deduce and hence such models help in ascertaining those.

Order of magnitude is sufficient to remove reliance on GPS in a lot of military applications. The Russian aggression in Ukraine has shown that a lot of Western precision weapons were rendered ineffective due to GPS jamming.
The GPUs that can do FP64 operations are priced out of the range acceptable for small businesses or individuals.

The consumer GPUs are suitable only for games, graphics and ML/AI.

There are also other applications, like in engineering, where the only cost-effective way is to use CPUs with good AVX-512 support, like Zen 5.

A 9950X has a similar FP64 throughput like the last GPUs that still had acceptable prices, from 5 years ago (Radeon VII).

Even for FP32, the throughput of a 9950X is similar to that of a very good integrated GPU (512 FP32 FMA per cycle, but at a double clock frequency, so equivalent with a GPU doing 1024 FP32 FMA per cycle), even if it is no match for a discrete GPU.

There are also applications where the latency of transferring the data to the GPU, then doing only short computations, can reduce the performance below what can be achieved on the CPU.

Obviously, there are things better done on a GPU, but there are enough cases where a high throughput CPU like a desktop Zen 5 is better.
Depends on what you're going against, I'd wager.

Mechanical HDDs are far more shock sensitive. One good drop and the bits are physically damaged by the head hitting the platter.

If you move often perhaps USB SSDs are better. A little more rugged and accessible, with occasional power as the trade-off.

The cell powering is overstated. I just wouldn't expect to go a really long time on your only drive. Have many/play the odds. Reading the data occasionally to verify sums would suffice to recharge. So could appending to the archive!

Tape is great for density and shock sensitivity, but doesn't handle magnetism or moisture as well. Random access is awful, so recovering from this may be as well. This really shines in terms of density.

All this to say, I wouldn't store data I cared about in a hard to access or irregular place.

Not all the same place, but readily accessible such that restoring, maintenance, or establishing quorum is feasible. A safe deposit box sounds nice, is wildly impractical.

The houses of friends or family are just as effective, or misc. S3 providers. Many is best, in short. Not just one.

Equality issues still exist, but compared to 1924?

To be fair, it says "has a real shot at" and AlphaGo level. AlphaGo clearly beat humans on Go, so thinking that if you could replicate that, it would have a shot doesn't seem crazy to me
Isn't there a big difference between "designed" and "developed"? For instance the whole testing phase?

Which doesn't mean it is not impressively fast, but still it's not done in a week. Plus testing the covid vaccines was quick because there were many many people to participate in the tests.
pedantry:

a) A friend made their pile developing Atari 2600 cartridges. In those days, doing a pythagorean distance calculation would've been way too expensive (especially as they had to work in between scan lines), so in their programs hit regions were octagonal, which is not pi=3, but not far off from pi=6.

b) As someone who generates object code, GOTO is the best control flow mechanism in that domain. [see also "Lambda: the ultimate GOTO" (1977) https://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/5753 ]
It could be that my device is heavily throttling for saving battery: the device battery (even with this long-running service) lasts multiple weeks on a single charge.
It's a bit disingenuous to pick go as a case to make the point against RLHF.

Sure, a board game with an objective winning function at which computers are already better than humans won't get much from RLHF. That doesn't look like a big surprise.

On the other hand, a LLM trained on lots of not-so-much curated data will naturally pick up mistakes from that dataset. It is not really feasible or beneficial to modify the dataset exhaustively, so you reinforce the behaviour that is expected at the end. An example would be training an AI in a specific field of work: it could repeat advices from amateurs on forums, when less-known professional techniques would be more advisable.

Think about it like kids naturally learning swear words at school, and RLHF like parents that tell their kids that these words are inappropriate.

The tweet conclusion seems to acknowledge that, but in a wishful way that doesn't want to concede the point.
Yeah I sometimes use them but they don’t cover all the cases. I’m waiting for roles/extensions to see if I can achieve a similar result.

I've just recently this video on the engineering of Venice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77omYd0JOeA -- relevantly, it shows how they devised an "active" drainage system that relied on the tide movement (both vertical and horizontal). The timestamp for waste management is 7:45, but I recommend watching all the video.
Respectfully, I don’t relish the idea of wasting more time failing to impart the difference between criticism and expressing personal disappointment. It is possible to dislike something without thinking that thing or its author are bad. Not everything is about taking a side. We used to be able to understand that.

My tone did succumb to the frustration of having the point be repeatedly strawmanned (you’ll have to turn on show dead to see every instance), which is worryingly becoming more common on HN. I accept and thank you for calling that out. While in general I appreciate HN’s simple interface, it makes it easy to miss when the person we’re talking to on a new reply is not the same as before, so I apologise for any negativity you felt from me.

I may still see your reply to this (no promises) but forgive me if I don’t reply further.
Nowadays yes, but between the 80s and early 2010s, string theory captured a lot of funding.
I'm pretty interested in the theorem proving/scientific research aspect of this.

Do you think it's possible that some version of LLM technology could discover new physical theories (that are experimentally verifiable), like for example a new theory of quantum gravity, by exploring the mathematical space?

Edit: this is just incredibly exciting to think about. I'm not an "accelerationist" but the "singularity" has never felt closer...
I think that nowadays industry flavored joke of “you either die a hero or live long enough to become…” should end with Google/Meta.

What a dirtbags.
You could also buy a ready-made logo from a marketplace like https://bootstraplogos.com.

Don't get me wrong, quick logo generators like this serve a purpose too, so not knocking OP's tool. But sometimes, even a small budget can get you a pretty pro looking logo.
Snap that is bloody annoying.
I have never seen great results from BDUF. It works, but you often build slightly the wrong thing or miss important requirements. I do not have much faith in business analysts.

Fundamentally, its a slow and expensive way to build something that probably won't meet your actual requirements.

Can it work? Sure. I bet NASA does BDUF very well. But most organisations don't have the resource and skills to pull that off.

Still very unlikely that they'd come back to a, say, Independent Republic of Florida instead of the USA they left from, but hey, it's been a crazy couple of years.

On a similar note "Hey would you consent to us sharing your information with 1574 partners?" and no easy "Fuck off" button (I mean reader mode works). How do you as a publisher not see the 1574 partners and think that just maybe this isn't what we wanted?
Every tech is science fiction until it's done, and sometimes continues to be present in fiction even while also being deployed.

Not fooling yourself is hard, because it goes both ways.
Name a better track record, tovarich.

Besides, the participation is in the context of that of other countries, especially Russia. It's one thing to argue that we shouldn't pull bathers out of the lake. It's another to argue that we shouldn't pull drowners out of the rapids.
+1 on this, I'm a big fan of his videos, and the Darien Gap crossing must be one of the most interesting that he's done. I still think it was beyond stupid to attempt this, both him and his companion admit that they could have just died multiple times while there and no one would stop to help. On the other hand, they brought the experience of what it really looks like for thousands of migrants trying to cross every year to the millions on youtube - an experience you wouldn't be able to see otherwise.

Show HN: Closed my startup & spent $30K to bring payments to Project Management!
Hi HN,

It was really hard to get paid for our service work. There was always the pain of delay, uncertainty and the stress it brought to our operations in our bootstrapped service business. The bigger pain was the embarrassment of following up on an invoice.

After trying all the 'expert advice' on getting invoices cleared on time without any good outcome, we thought of fixing it.

The idea is to let service providers tag each task on the project management board with a monetary value, and we get money in our account instantly after the task is approved by the client.

This way, every task becomes a tiny invoice payable after approval. Sort of like an escrow (that the client pre-funds), but for micro-transactions.

This sort of brings work and payment into one workflow rather than treating them as two divergent processes.

This was fun to build and fun to test. Experiencing the high of seeing money in the account instantly once some work was done was crazy. We have like $700,000 worth of transactions in our stripe testing mode. Just for the fun of it.

We still don't know how the market is going to respond, but we believe speed can be a really good motivator for people to try this out.

What do you guys think? Here's the landing page https://www.sectar.co

Those spaceships weren't as obviously stupid as OceanGate's sub. Also, those two aren't typical CEOs either, they're a bit more like OceanGate's CEO: they're ones who built their company from the ground up, and have some kind of strong drive to be the next Howard Hughes or something and be a leader in some revolutionary thing (spacecraft in their case, submarines in OceanGate's).

Boeing's CEO is not like these men. He's just a typical CEO who didn't build the company, and is just a temporary hired gun really, like most of them.
GhostWrite vulnerability affects the T-Head XuanTie C910 and C920 RISC-V CPUs
This is partially the reason why we see LLM's "plateauing" in the benchmarks. For the lmsys Arena, for example, LLM's are simply judged on whether the user liked the answer or not. Truth is a secondary part of that process, as are many other things that perhaps humans are not very good at evaluating. There is a limit to the capacity and value of having LLM's chase RLHF as a reward function. As Karpathy says here, we could even argue that it is counter productive to build a system based on human opinion, especially if we want the system to surpass us.
A tragic story would be one where folks in positions of power in these organizations saw these crises coming from a million miles away, tried to avoid disaster, and failed.

I don't think this is a tragic story.

I think this is a rather boring and formulaic plot we're seeing over and over: the story of late-stage capitalism and the application of value-extraction to human social structures resulting in comically terrible outcomes.
What is the use case for this? Is the value here that you do not need to worry about accurately extracting text from a pdf? Or that you have full knowledge of where text is store as it relates to the original document? Or something different?
Agreed. My point was that ZTNA requires more than just micro segmentation, it should also include deny by default, service based access, least privilege, endpoint posture checks etc.
A rather short wire. Short enough for Grace Hopper to give away to students during lectures.
Probably not.

The gcc Zen 5 patch adds as new instructions only AVX-VNNI, MOVDIRI, MOVDIR64B, AVX-512-VP2INTERSECT and PREFETCHI.

Zen 4 already had AVX-512 VNNI (for ML/AI), AVX VNNI is only an alternate encoding for the programs that use only AVX (because they have been compiled for Intel Alder Lake/Raptor Lake).

MOVDIRI and MOVDIR64B can be very useful in some device drivers, less often in general-purpose programs.
Do you have a source? I regularly use /etc/hosts and never saw any inkling of it being ignored, but do see plenty of cases that confirm it is not.
Nice work!
Can you consider finding a different solution for the many entries on Null Island, please?
Sounds like it might be better if Boeing dropped out if their thing doesn't work properly, costs much more and is mostly in there through political lobbying.

I'm Hung, a software engineer with 5 years of experience from Vietnam. I have worked in different types of environments: from small, start-up-like, to medium-sized (~100-200 engineers), to big-corporation (~2000 engineers). As a result, I have both the practicality and adaptivity of a start-up developer, and the awareness of scale, reliability and process of a software engineer.

I read extensively and learn systematically, not only software engineering but also a wide range of other subjects.
(I think) I'm up for any challenge. I'm ambitious, I'm confident in myself. But I'm also humble enough to learn quickly from my mistake, and to work well with others.

I value environment with autonomy and lean process. I would love to have control over the infrastructure so that I can learn more about cloud and devops (coz my previous companies all have dedicated infra team).
Not necessarily, as high population density generally means lots of police and lots of cameras (both security cameras and individuals with smartphones)
Of course, the illness cannot get worse without the virus first infecting a cell, and then replicating in that cell to infect other cells in the body, and then potentially infecting other hosts; that is how a virus works, right?

Now, if replication is stopped, AND the body is able to destroy the first infected cell, then the patient is cured, but otherwise?

I guess that even if the body's immune system cannot get rid of that "patient cell zero", it is quite possible that a 6 month period is enough for the cell to die from the virus.

I do not have any medical training though, so please correct me if I am wrong.
Not sure about the rest, but I can definitely explain why Germany has (had) nuclear power plants and Austria doesn't: lobbying! Siemens wanted an opportunity to show off its technology, so all NPPs in West Germany were built by them. Austria didn't have such implications, so no nuclear power. Lobbying (by the strong automobile industry) is also the reason why the German autobahns still have no general speed limit and are still free to use for cars (paid by taxes of course). Austria BTW has both a speed limit and a toll for its freeways (and no domestic car manufacturers).
I will keep this in mind. Thank you.
>>I read/hear this argument a lot in Europe to justify mass immigration

I don't really see it as a justification of mass migration, but I do see it as an argument for treating migrants as human beings not cattle(or worse). There are enough politicians and people in general who think that the boats and people at the borders should be just shot at, that will stop them from coming surely /s. You see this sentiment everywhere, and the "Remember that these are people just like you and I" thought process is missing.
I really hope the sole comment in the original thread is tongue-in-cheek, otherwise I'll lose the little hope in society I didn't know I still had left.
I've tried but I don't get the spicy pillow reference. Did it catch fire? Or the screen die?
Well, if people live for really long time like 10000, it would become much easier to travel to other stars with technology that we already have, so there will be plenty of "ecological niche to live in".
I've visited Lloyd's Building on a building tour once, and seeing the scale and sheer floors of actuaries with PhDs in god knows what domain made me a firm believer in the real life prowess of the insurance industry. I honestly don't think consumer insurance is worthwhile, but commercial definitely if you have an equally capable team of actuaries to run the numbers and they stack up to cover the risks involved.

for "does it run" cases, you can ask the model to try again, give it higher temperature, show it the traceback errors, (and maybe intermediate variables?) or even ask it to break up the problem into smaller pieces and then try to translate that.

for testing, if you use something like quickcheck, you might find bugs that you wouldn't otherwise find.

when it comes to idiomatic, I'm not sure - but if we're at the point that gpt is writing code that works, do we really care? as long as this code is split into many small pieces, we can just replace the piece instead of trying to understand/fix it if we can't read it. in fact, maybe there's a better language that is human readable but better for transformers to write and maintain.
> practical people who value merit over noise,

How wouldn't that be a part of a perfectly rational risk analysis though?

It's like saying (of course on a very different scale) that NASA should be buying rockets from Russian/Chinese/etc. companies/government as long as they offer a good price/quality ratio etc. Which would be an immensely stupid thing to do regardless of how good the actual rockets were.

> Twitter and saying inappropriate shit out loud

Or possibly more importantly doing inappropriate shit both publicly and not.

In general companies that are purely driven by their management's desire to maximize profits/shareholder value/their bonuses are fairly predictable and can be expected to behave rationally under most circumstances. However you might not want to rely too much on company owned by someone (hard to tell which ones are correct so pick any):

- willing to burn billions to either to prove some bizarre point
- makes impulsive decisions worth billions under the influence of drugs
- is willing to spend large amounts of money to manipulate public opinion (and/or undermine democracy and the rule of law)

(at least long-term anyway...)
