All ABET accredited programs are required to include ethics and have been required to do so for over 15 years.

We explicitly learned about voht IEEE and ACM code of ethics for example (though this was not the only thing we discussed) . We were even tested on the difference. I'm always confused when people don't even get the baseline ethics training.
For those wondering what the exact attack vector is, the AMD advisory has some details:

> Improper validation in a model specific register (MSR) could allow a malicious program with ring0 access to modify SMM configuration while SMI lock is enabled, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution. [0]

I'd suggest measuring the word- and character error rates with and without the LLM. It'll let people quickly know how well it works.
Hard to say for sure obviously. The timing is pretty convenient, if the government is doing a poor job responding to an invading force they have good reason to limit communication among the public to tools they can control.
I thought robots.txt was provided an opt out for all web crawlers, not just vendor specific ones? What would be the use case for not using "*" if you didn't want something to be crawled?
Ah, good to know. Thanks for the correction. More reason to not like Unsplash
You can also inspect python frames, objects/variables etc directly from GDB:

I'm not sure if the linked pages was updated recently, if I'm completely misreading it or if you're trolling. There's only one processor family (matisse) that's documented as "no fix planned). All datacenter products already have a fix published, and all non-matisse chips will have a new firmware available by october 2024
No way that's true. Indeed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38864375. It would be good if there was less Black Bar Bikeshedding.
That is awful. (Though you are probably entirely correct ...)

(The only one's benefiting from that are the slop "shovels" purveyors to the AI-slop gold rush ...)
The second flip is to rotate it around the 4th axis.

Could there be a new role for an Apple Server between these two? More capable than a phone but under my control.
My understanding is that Boeing wants to ship a software update that removes the automated undocking software as part of that update.

They could similarly ship another update that restores it. Therein, this is clickbait content
You quantify it using a binomial. Then calculated the weight averaged expense repair cost using that binomial.
This entire article is based on a single anecdote, stolen from another article, about a guy whose policy was never actually cancelled.

This is clickbait.
What I'd really like is an IDE that functions on objects of code and not text files, and diffs and merges thar similarly operate on the syntax tree of the code and not on whether there's an extra newline or not.

Like, code formatting, that's just an implementation detail. Why can't there be a thing to let two people edit the same repo with different formatting preferences without it causing merge conflicts?
Solar power of course, the problem is: who will manufacture new chips for our salvaged computers?

A specialized civilization like ours has a small window to reboot before tech degrades and scavenging becomes harder. After that short window, securing food, shelter and defense would be the primary goals.

I still really like the idea of Collapse OS. I've loved computers all my life, and if bandits are going to raze my precarious settlement, I want to leave this mortal coil with a retro microprocessor in my arms.
You can similarly use materialized views for this type of denormalization. When an update to the source tables occur you can trigger a view refresh.
As if that depends on the engineers!

When you make 1M thingies, $5 savings each means $5M CEO comp.
The "No fix planned" is specifically for just the Ryzen 3000 desktop series. While obviously a fix would be better, given the age of this series as well as the need for ring 0 access to exploit the vulnerability, the actual impact from leaving it unfixed on those CPUs will probably be pretty limited.
They are "dumb" in the same sense that a very well crafted, detailed, and otherwise normal picture of a human with seven fingers and an inconspicuous extra hand is "dumb".
I've been using Zotero 7 beta for months. It's absolutely exceptional. It has all the features I need. It just works. It syncs all my data across my devices seamlessly. It ingests and parses and renames all my PDFs and paper URLs perfectly. I I can easily cite papers in Word and Google Docs and markdown with pandoc. I can annotate PDF highlights and do full text search. Zotero is a huge time saver and I couldn't live without it.

I had been trying to use it from time to time for the past 15 years and it was never good enough for me. The UI was also too dated for my taste. Zotero 7 finally nails it. Congrats and huge thanks to the developers!

This is a great example of why HN's policy of not changing headlines from the originals doesn't work well sometimes. This headline is almost necessarily clickbait. There is nothihng this article could possibly be about that is actually related to the four-letter title, except maybe this:

But that is not what this article is about. It's about (spoiler alert) quitting your job to write games.
It changes very little because there’s nothing to receive their kinetic energy.

Neutrons lose energy by colliding with things of similar mass, such as hydrogen nuclei (often in water). If they collide with a heavy nucleus, such as plutonium, they just bounce off without losing speed. (Or fission or capture.)

Think of billiards. The cue ball may slow or stop after hitting another ball, since they have similar masses. But hit the rail and it just bounces off, at the same speed, because the table is so much heavier.

If there are no light nuclei in the environment, then the neutrons won’t slow down.
Hmmm, these are kind of boring? I've seen colored comments a few times, embedding images is also possible in Dr Racket and on TempleOS I'm pretty sure.

Where's all the fun stuff? Debugger features are neat, but outside of this these features just seem tiny and cute and not too exciting.

Even stronger support for structured Treesitter-based editing? (See eg. Helix), proper multicursor support (Helix), both already seem like black magic to me compared to what came before.
Cutting yourself off from civilization is not the hallmark of a society that is growing in a positive direction.

Is it illegal? Or does it just not make any sense to ask someone taking an experimental drug to pay you for it? It's ridiculously hard to get people to participate in a trial even when pharma is paying them (granted though, also under the same ethics umbrella, such payments are not supposed to incentivize a decision to participate, only to remove the disincentives to participation, like having to pay for Ubers to/from the trial site).

Actually the way that we prevent pharma companies from using trials to commit fraud of this type is by tightly (very tightly) controlling the language they use to describe drugs that are still under evaluation. Basically every sentence that a researcher makes to a trial participant needs to pass an ethics review board to make sure it's not overselling the promise or underselling the risk.

It’s very reasonable to want Google and Bing to index your page for search, but not have your data collected for training models, i think. I’m not familiar with robots.txt to know if it has a whitelisting mechanism

We really lost so much when we moved away from s-expressions in favor of... whatever adhoc stuff we do right now.
The doctor will tell you to eat less calories overall, and reduce your consumption of sugar, by replacing it with better alternatives like calorie-free sweeteners.
>given the age of this series

It's from the Jul 2019. Not very old. CPUs from the early 2010s, with enough ram, are still perfectly usable for light browsing and text editing tasks.
Not sure how you would do that without having the ground truth to compare to. It's also very hard to measure once you start messing with the formatting (like converting it to markdown or suppressing page numbers and repeated headers/footers). I think it would also vary a lot depending on the quality of the original scan and the format and content of the document. There's really no substitute from just trying it on your document and then quickly looking through the output by hand (at least for now-- probably in a year models we be good enough and have big enough context windows to do this really well, too!).
I would ballpark-estimate at least twice as many.-

That said, as wisely said downthread, it depends on how one defines "published" - or, "book" even ...

> China’s solar industry is also grappling with oversupply. This year the prices of most components of solar modules have fallen below their average production cost. Many companies in the industry are scaling back manufacturing. Others have scrapped plans to enter the market. Haitai Solar, a maker of solar components, has said it expects prices to fall further.

If this is the case the world should be making hay while the sun shines (pun intended). There is a historic opportunity to bring in dramatic reductions in fossil fuel usage, not just in the west but in the 3rd world too.

From the slavers of ancient times to the oil barons of today, energy and its acquisition has been a source of strife in most if not all of mans history. Only through its abundance in an environmentally sustainable manner can we improve.
This person has lots of fellow students who aren't doing this. Maybe his CS classes aren't challenging enough.
How does expelling foreign journalists fit into this plan?
Yes, that's one of the ones I tried. It seemed to be more designed for things like receipts and menus rather than books. But in any case, I found it hard to set up and use (and it's likely slow on the CPU compared to Tesseract, which despite its low accuracy, is at least very fast on CPU).

PS. We need an AI book reviewer to tell the difference.-
I agree you don’t need “whole books or manuals”, but how do you learn by trying alone?

The search space is enormous, and even if you stumble on a code fragment that appears to work, how do you know your code actually does what you think it does, and how do you know there isn’t a more efficient or readable way to do what you want to do? Case in point, you wrote:

> then extrapolate from there using {}, (), replacing, etc.

How did you find out about those, if not from reading (likely followed by some trying to check your understanding)? I think you have to read, not “whole books”, but ‘just’ the right documentation, where ‘right’ depends on the tool you use. For example man regex may be sufficient. That, you can read in a few minutes.
Note Google shows 0% of people using 6to4/teredo. That fits my experience that 6to4/teredo didn't work when I tried it.

My ISP is struggling to replace copper with fiber. That's something that makes a difference in my life. IPv6 doesn't make a difference. If anything it's a submarine network that could hide security problems.
Also, in the same space, that is, "Comparison site for Domain Registrars" there apparently also exists the following:

Not sure if the two sites are related in any way...

The second definitely seems more graphical, that is, more "UI rich" for lack of a better term, than the first...
All of this stuff makes me go 'that should be possible in Emacs', with the exception of colouring tagged comments, which I think is possible in Emacs. I think that ghost/replay thing is possible using Sly and iterating through objects is possible in Slime and Sly.

What Software Development Looks Like Now
This is just denormalization.

If you need to invalidate this "cache", it's extremely expensive to find the records that need updating. It's probably better to use a summary table that's populated with triggers, or to just optimize your indexes and use a JOIN (the world won't end, I promise).
Do you know what a freelancer is?

You don’t make tax contributions for them. They bring their own hardware and usually software unless otherwise agreed.

The rest of the stuff is just a laundry list you made up to try and blow costs way past what they actually could be if you’re prudent. Come on
If not, then why do those laws exist? Either we're ok with those sorts of actions, and we should repeal the laws, or we're not, and we should enforce them, equally and universally. Anything less leads to biased enforcement.
I've had good luck with this with simple variables and native data structures list lists, dictionaries, tuples. But when I try it with something bulkier like a Pandas dataframe, I'm not able to make any sense of the stack and find what I'm looking for, which is usually the data.
Maybe you're already aware of it, but there is difftastic [0], which is a syntax aware diff tool that can also be used with git. Its understanding of syntax is based on treesitter, so it works for most languages. Although I haven't tried, I think most IDEs should also be able to use it.

Perhaps a website that collects cool, interesting facts. Sort of like Ripley's 'Believe it or Not'.
Not bad, is just useless. ML canot distinguish between (a equal b) and (b equal a). For some tasks it is just an stocastic parrot.

In terms of implementing adders, the standard solution for binary logic adders is carry lookahead adders. Perhaps an equivalent could be built in ternary logic?

I know this is slightly off-topic, but the study referenced for the first graph [1] seems absurdly badly designed. Subjects were divided into arbitrary age groups, but all subjects were given the same task, so why divide at all? Why not give a scatter plot of age vs. perceived seconds? It's so unnecessary -- it's basically just to get an ANOVA -- that it makes me think it is p-hacking to try to find significance rather than actually measuring anything of interest.

the employees are private individuals though, they only have to coordinate themselves, not everyone will be willing to say “ok I’ll come into the office” and actually do it while job hunting, but it could be a way to call their bluff if you had in mind something that could benefit from that kind of evidence (though I think legal action is very rarely the first, or even 10th best option)
Weird how first the article downplays this because you supposedly need so much privilege to exploit this bug and then they point out that you need to have kernel privileges.

So that’s pretty bad. Kernel exploits aren’t that hard to find and it looks like this bug gives a path from kernel exploit to exploit persistence, with the only way to get rid of the persisted exploit is to throw away the CPU.

If I’m understand it right then, like, yikes!

nougat, donut are OSS. There are no OSS vision models but we will soon have them. MathPix API are also not OSS and I found them expensive compared to vision models.

Mathpix Markdown however is awesome and I ask LLMs to use that to denote formulas as latex is tricky to render in HTML because of things not matching. I don't know latex well so haven't gone deeper on it.
And this is why you don't pirate movies, kids. In the actual movie, it's not the exact same footage.
You can correct the transcript to create the ground truth. Or print your own document, then run OCR on it.

OCR evaluation has been a thing for decades.

I'm not aware of any, but maybe somebody else is. A more general question is are there any other DFW-ish math-ish writings to be found? Against The Day (Pynchon) is not really math-ish, but it does have a good bit of math (more than GR at least), and a DFW fan would probably like it. Stella Maris (McCarthy) is perhaps neither DFW-ish nor math-ish, but it is Serious Fiction centered on a mathematician and is probably the best work of fiction to feature Alexander Grothendieck. I have heard that Solenoid (Cartarescu) has some math in it, though I fear it's still sitting on my shelf. Every Arc Bends Its Radian (due in a couple months from Sergio De La Pava) has a math-ish title but I doubt it will actually contain much math.

Michael Harris -- a mathematician who wrote a review of the DFW Infinity book -- has a book called "Mathematics Without Apologies", which I liked, though it's non-fiction. There is also "Birth of a Theorem" by Fields medalist Cedric Villani which is an interesting read -- not fiction, but it is experimental in many respects and I would say worth a read.
No. It’s the exact same question. Good vs evil are created in your head. Unless you believe in God or something similar.

robots.txt has always had mechanisms for allowing or denying specific crawlers. Most of the AI labs that crawl the web support something like this now, here are a few relevant examples from the NY Times robots.txt file for example: https://www.nytimes.com/robots.txt

I see a lot of Robots.txt files that use non-wildcards for Allow but what would be the use case for using a non-widlcard for Disallow?
I agree that vision models that actually have access to the image are a more sound approach than using OCR and trying to fix it up. It may be more expensive though, and depending on what you're trying to do it may be good enough.

What I want to do is reading handwritten documents from the 18th century, and I feel like the multistep approach hits a hard ceiling there. Transkribus is multistep, but the line detecion model is just terrible. Things that should be easy, such as printed schemas, utterly confuse it. You simply need to be smart about context to a much higher degree than you need in OCR of typewriter-written text.
For anyone curious about how this actually works, it looks like a library is injected into your process to hook these functions [1] in order to forward them to the service.

Ask HN: Best social bookmarking tool nowadays?
What do people use to curate links and share with others?

For example, I’d like to share a list of “tools I use to build my startup” with ~100 people, or here’s a reading list of “deep learning for develop” (pdf, web pages, YouTube videos etc).
Yes, all of that but.. that's exactly the way of looking at things that a chip company like AMD are not allowed to have ( or at least to say publicly ).

The CPUs are "old" they are "limit" as an installed base but only comparing to today's AMD market share because I'm pretty sure there are hundred of thousands ( if not a few millions ) of these CPUs all over the World.

My main point is: going the extra-mile/cost to fix these cpus would be the cheaper route for them because image and credibility matters.. a lot.
Aren't they already doing this, for SMS/MMS, at least?
This has been my experience with Japanese texts as well. I have a number of fairly obscure Japanese books and magazines I’ve collected as part of a research interest. During the pandemic, I began digitizing them and found that nothing but Google OCR could extract the text correctly. I recently tried again with the libraries you mentioned, but they also performed worse than traditional tools.
ngIRCd looks good! To be honest, these days I'm surprised that ChanServ/NickServ type stuff isn't integrated directly into the IRCd. I guess it gets complicated if you have multiple servers and they have to decide who controls services, but would simplify single-server arrangements.
