Here is a problem that I have. Working on the operations side of things I've seen so many ways software can fail. If someone asked me to design a system, I would draw on my experience, and create a very safe, conservative design. Which would be immediately laughed out of the room. So, I feel stuck in my career and I don't know how to get out of this trap.
That is not the challenge, cranks have freedom of speech. There is no such thing as "legitimately" in this question.

Hacker News is the only online community that doesn't feel like it's actively driving me insane. Whatever censorship is being done, whether in good or bad faith, I'm all for it.

Not trying to start a political discussion but people describing someone like biden as center-left are usually basing this off the policies people of his particular political flavor say they want. What they end up doing is usually very much right-aligned.
Those are often the same person, at different points in their career.
I don't think this myth will last after we've seen what software Boeing has built.

As you said, this works fine as a per-complex policy; it does not require government overreach, something which California is eager to do.
Unknowingly, I was scammed of $734,000 in Bitcoin by a fake online forest investment firm, and I had no idea what to do. I was contemplating suicide, but fortunately, a friend of mine connected me to a cybercrime investigator known as jamesmckaywiard a hack Pro who hack and recover stolen digital assets/crypto recovery agency. After a few hours of work with them, I was shocked to learn that they had recovered all of my stolen cryptocurrency in just 72 hours. They were able to recover all of my lost cryptocurrency, and they only collected 20% of the money they found as their service charge. If you have fallen victim to a fraudulent forex/ and online scam activities then worry no more you can contact them via their email: Email: jamesmckaywizard at gmail dot com or WhatsApp +31622647750. Kindly reach out to them. They are reputable and trustworthy because they will get your lost bitcoins/money back quickly and easily.
Many of the results in the 'agent' literature require several agents and many iterations to produce an output. See some examples here [1]. Getting these results in seconds instead of minutes or hours would be incredible - and would help with iteration and experimentation to improve algorithms.

Unfortunately this is a textbook straw man fallacy, the epistemological Fourier transform from the actual argument to a domain where your position is solvable.

Let’s start with the assumption that the most qualified women applied to Caltech instead of pursuing educations in law, medicine, or other top-tier professions. I posit a number of top-tier women who tick all the boxes would simply have no interest in Caltech as a school. Men too, but less of them wouldn’t be interested. It’s not a matter of women having less merit, quite the contrary: they consider the legal or medical professions more worthy of their merit and thus for them applying to Caltech would be suboptimal for their career aspirations.

No, the fact is more men applied because men have fewer attractive alternatives, and unless you believe men are inferior writ large, more women are getting in than men in spite of fewer applying, not because the women are more talented, but because the admissions organization prefers having more women than men, application numbers be damned.
It's wild how sane (and stable) linux desktop is today when you look back at some of the crazy experimental stuff that was going on 20 or so years ago.
Its not a question of who is better at managing money but more who needs benefit in our society. The government supports welfare programs. Someone throwing 100m in the market does not unless they are taxed to do so.
We had an explicit ask for essentially every team to create an AI feature.

They simultaneously fretted about compliance, and insisted we use an internal wrapper around AI tools, which was not ready for a long time.

That general pattern of security/compliance being at odds with every other part of management happens outside of AI of course.

Fast inference can substitute for larger models in some circumstances. As you said, you can run multiple times. DeepMind had a detailed look, see https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.03314.

Believing that they should be preserved.
Much was often accomplished with quite little resources m such as memory and CPU.
They often used innovation techniques / design , ie using chips in non standard ways to achieve color video, higher resolution displays or saving data to floppy disks. etc OLder items are often preserved in other areas with associations and clubs , like old radios, old stationary engines etc . I believe such knowledge should be preserved.
I'm not sure that this is a useful distinction. It starts to sound an awful lot like philosophy 101 "what is a p-zombie" horseshit... if both people are asking the same questions or using the same rhetoric, why would their internal, unknowable-without-telepathy intent make any difference whatsoever? If you do think there is an actual distinction, somehow, even then should you care? Because people who want to censor the speech will just label the skeptics as cranks anyway, and shut it down.

"Crank vs sincere skeptic" is fallacious, as it attacks the person and not the argument.
Coding is one area where AI has been successful. This is about other areas where AI has been unnecessarily inserted. You're misdirecting your Schadenfreude.
They list the price in this press release. So either they're taking a big loss or they're doing it cheaper per token.
So you're saying the engineers were totally grounded and apple business leadership was not.
I didn't flag any of them; I do not owe you an explanation on behalf of the flaggers.

Conversely - why didn't you vouch for each of the dead comments, if they are so great?
Nothing. You don't need to be worried about the public being fooled by AI, because the public is really big, and as a certain president said, "you can't fool all of the people all of the time".

What you should be worried about isn't the many, but the few. As usual. Presidents, judges, party nomination committees etc. being fooled by fake private evidence. It's much easier to fool a few people, especially with evidence they can't examine too closely "for security reasons" or some other pretext.

If you've convinced people to look at private evidence, you've halfway there to fooling them already. And sometimes, they're happy to be fooled, because they really wanted to believe what the fake evidence pushes anyway.
I work on a team doing some shitty AI feature, and as far as I can tell the only reason it's still alive is because our C-level has overdosed on the kool-aid and are adamant that they can squeeze blood out of the AI stone. Pretty much everyone in engineering is telling them it's a monumental waste of time, effort & money (especially money, our AI tooling/provider bills are astronomical compared to everything else we pay for), but to them the word "AI" holds so much power that they just can't resist sinking further and further resources into it.

It's really reinforced in me the knowledge that most execs are completely clueless and only chase trends that other execs in their circles chase without ever reflecting on it on their own.
Thanks, I think that's a style/level of in-joke that needed an explanation for the wider audience. Particularly since the first arrow-part sounds almost plausible. (And "11" on its own is unlikely to give many useful hits.)
You can get a two-pole GFCI breaker for this purpose. The prices are a bit silly.

In Canada and most of Europe, Joe Biden would be a hair right of centre-right on most things and centre-right on a few other topics. Only in America is he centre-left, which says a lot about America's Overton window shift.

Biden sounds a lot like Stephen Harper (pre-barbaric-practices-hotline) and just to the right of Brian Mulroney. Joe Clark would be well to his left.
> But I think we become too cynical at times.

Yeah, I think the same. But this:

> I don’t know how you can say anything bad about him.

still seems to me as the other extremity. I don't know about Sam Altman well enough to have my own opinion on him, but I employ this rule of thumb: if I don't understand how one can say anything bad about some person, then I'm definitely look at them through pink colored glasses, and it would be better for me to take them off. I can still believe that the person is a great person, but I need to have a full picture.

> We can learn to work with Sam and be grateful for the good he does anyway… even if he doesn’t care about us! But he is advocating UBI with his own money so I don’t mind him getting rich.

I cannot participate in this discussion because I have no opinion about Sam Altman. I see him as a just one more rich guy with plans to reformulate humanity.

I did fall for Musk several years ago, but then I started to read his twitter (while it still was twitter), I started to read people who knew Musk, I did read Liftoff by Eric Berger, and I became skeptical of Musk. Yeah, then I really was confused by the Musk's lack of skill of public speaking, and it took some time to learn that he never prepares to his speeches. I interpret this as a pathetic lack of self-criticism. Then Musk bought Twitter, he jumped into politics, while being extremely naive in politics and social science overall (with his pathetic lack of self-criticism he is probably naive about his naïveté), and... It is funny to compare the picture of Musk I had in my head before I started digging with the picture of Musk I have now.

How Sam Altman is different? From my perspective he looks pretty similar to my old picture of Musk, I know only good things of him, and there are some critics that have nothing substantial to say.

So I cannot participate in this discussion, because I have no opinion about Sam Altman.

This video from Cerebras perfectly explain how they solve the interconnect problem, and why their approach greatly reduces the risk of Blackwell-type hardware design challenges.
Genuine question, what about Hauptschule?

And I guess that makes sense for Germany. Where I live, loans are basically guaranteed and almost free for students especially if you are graduating in a degree with good job prospects. This allowed my dad to basically switch paths entirely when he was like 40, as it paid for his entire spendings during his degree and he could do it easily in north America. It was basically impossible for him to do something similar in France.
They have a way of bypassing bad cores, and over-provision both logic and memory by 1.5% to account for that. They get 100% yields this way.

I haven't read all of that, but the problem at hand seems significantly less complicated.

We're mapping the numbers from 1 to 1000 to distinct numbers up to 8258, and the README claims that we should expect 2.1% of the resulting numbers to be prime. I see no reason for this claim, and as I understand it, the 2.1% comes from pi(1000) / 8258, which seems like nonsense to me.
The story referenced as part of the motivation for the project[1] is pretty chilling. The laws of physics can put a lower limit on things for you if you have an old school analog oscilloscope handy to watch for network packets.

If you have old school TTL, EPROMs, RAM, and time, you could built a CPU you can test all the parts of, and trust. You could even work your way up to floppy disks, and an analog CRT display.

Once you want to ramp up the speed and complexity, things get dicey. I have ideas that would help, but nothing provably secure.

I tried giving it a link once to read through a PDF full of cars manufactured back in the 80s to find the cheapest ones. I gave me answers, but I was able to manually find some cheaper ones in the list. So at the end of the day, I couldn’t trust it any more than my own eyes. I think what I was asking was far more basic than writing code. Order the list by price (lowest to highest), and give me the top 5 results.

The PDF had multiple columns, and while ChatGPT seemed to figure that part out, it couldn’t do the logic part. Had it been in an easier Format to deal with, I would have just used to spreadsheet.

Always found the last panel somewhat cryptic. Interpret it as "see if [now] care"/"told you so" ...
Or maybe it would turn out that the false columns were actually structurally significant to their friendship, which would subsequently fall apart.

I was a gifted child and in the 1980s before the internet it gave me a community of adults who had a life of the mind and were for the most part professionals, whose experiences I really benefited from a lot from as a 12 year old.

I don’t know if the IQ test (Advanced Raven Matrices) was a useful bar — there were lots of smart people who weren’t in Mensa — but there were enough smart people in it that I found a community of like minded folks. It’s not easy for kid to find a community like that but I did.

Most people think Mensa is full of self aggrandizing nerds but that wasn’t my experience (it varies by chapter).

Mensa probably doesn’t have a purpose today but pre Internet it did, even if by accident. I don’t think IQ is a useful membership criterion due to sheer arbitrariness but sometimes arbitrary groupings of people can work.

I would also say that people who have a knee jerk negative reaction against Mensa are no more likeable than the socially inept segment of the Mensa membership they disparage. They have the same kind of puffed up pride that they dislike.

Totally agree! And this is why I sympathize with GA fanatics. Although it might not really make sense to do the rebranding or be maximalist about the geometric product, I do think there is a shared goal of making these things easier to understand.
I pay taxes on the unrealized gains of my house appreciating in value over the years.

You pay taxes on the assessed value of your house. It doesn't matter what you paid for it, or how much equity you have in it. It's more of a use tax than a capital gains or wealth tax.

The first amendment specifically uses the word "congress," and the President is not congress.

> Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

From what I understand, the executive branch generally uses the power of persuasion to influence media. There's no legal consequences for failing to comply; but instead the media has to weigh political consequences.

To put it differently, if your social network is used to push conspiracy theories and otherwise undermine democracy, you're going to have a tough time asking for political favors.
The sick days people don't take are probably more damaging to the company than the ones they do.

"If you care and have to ask it's not for you".

In all seriousness I've worked with and am familiar with Cerebras, Groq, etc. Let's just say GPUs still reign supreme in terms of practicality outside of usage of their hardware via cloud for nearly all use-cases.

Groq, for example, has essentially stopped selling their "real" HW directly because the borderline absurd amount of floor space, etc was found to be challenging once they hit the market. There's enough demand and more (recurring) money to be made anyway hosting services on your chips.

Similar to the Bitcoin mining ASIC game in the heyday - sure we could sell these or we could just use them to mine, develop next gen, sell previous gen, repeat.

NYC has been in that category for a long time.

The 60% of income on rented housing for people whose income would make them otherwise solidly middle class (to me, this definition includes ownership of real estate) is new.

Something else that's new: the prevalence of managing NYC properties through family trusts from a great distance while its members are domiciled and functionally unemployed in tax-shelter states. Hmm, I wonder if there's any explanatory power to that correlation?
I would not call HN progressive. Democratic yes, but Democrat nowadays means centrist at best/leaning right.

That's a really interesting comparison because the LFA is such a good car. But the Corvette has much more brand equity because its been what it is longer than most of its buyers have been alive. The LFA just wasn't around long enough to build broad awareness. A closer comparison is 911 vs Corvette. You can always charge more for a 911, both cars have a ton of brand loyalty. The 911 is the Japanese rice, the Corvette is the California rice :)
Except there is no winning move as an IC in pushing back against a half baked product definition that lacks business rigor. I pushed back in my org against features whose unit economics didn't add up, and I was labeled not a team player, leading to negative professional development. One year later, the entire ML org was laid off because investors lost confidence in our ability to produce a sustainable business model. There is no fix as an IC for unsophisticated product and business leadership.
As OpenAI themselves admits, structured output feature in question was developed in open source world first with zero funding.

I guess, fair amount of NIMBY there (if you don't like wind power next to you, you also don't like storage next to you in a lot of cases), some subsidies might also have had some effects on storage vs production built. Not everything is capital efficient in all places, too, of course.
It is kinda crazy. I thought Northern Virginia prices were insane so I moved. I always heard that Canadian and Australian housing was "crazy" too but only recently learned that it is mind-blowing crazy.

More housing will have to be built or people will have to move further from population centers. No way the average person is going to afford a $1MM house (not even large, or grand at that).

> All sever equipments come with an expiration date

Corporate mindset. When I worked at a major cloud provider the platforms group evaluated the ongoing economic cost/benefit of existing machines and every year the decision to retire ancient machines was "not yet". A suit-wearing corporate IT guy gets new hardware every 3 years. GCP will still rent you a Sandy Bridge machine from 2011. EC2 still has Haswell CPUs in its mainstream offering and if you really want them they have Harpertown Xeon from 2008 available.
I think the context for that section has shifted to "a charging animal" of unspecified diet, but I agree that "predator" is still a mismatch.
