Really, anyone with a 401k or similar investments has benefited from this. That's a lot of middle class folks. Your parents, your grandparents, and very likely you. It's far from limited to the super-wealthy.
I still don't see the difference with one-to-one lending vs physical libraries as long as the archive owns the books.
"What if smart boards were actually good, could use the whole room, and track arbitrary physical objects?"

combined with

"What if you could create/edit a computer program like you rearrange furniture in a room?"

appears to be the sales pitch.

I would recommend watching the video though because there are few more pieces to it such as how it is programmed, etc.

We think enzymes are super cool! You can build molecular assembly lines at the atomic scale with them. Many pharmaceuticals are already manufactured with enzymes such as the diabetes drug Januvia. Engineering them is a big bottleneck though - takes years and millions of dollars. We want to speed this up with AI-powered design. Next step is ligand-protein prediction capability of AlphaFold3, which is also super useful for modelling enzyme-substrate interactions.
Congrats Taranjeet and Deshraj!

So after using Mem0 a bit for a hackathon project, I have sort of two thoughts: 1. Memory is extremely useful and almost a requirement when it comes to building next level agents and Mem0 is probably the best designed/easiest way to get there.
2. I think the interface between structured and unstructured memory still needs some thinking.

What I mean by that is when I look at the memory feature of OpenAI it's obviously completely unstructured, free form text, and that makes sense when it's a general use product.

At the same time, when I'm thinking about more vertical specific use cases up until now, there are very specific things generally that we want to remember about our customers (for example, for advertising, age range, location, etc.) However, as the use of LLMs in chatbots increases, we may want to also remember less structured details.

So the killer app here would be something that can remember and synthesize both structured and unstructured information about the user in a way that's natural for a developer.

I think the graph integration is a step in this direction but still more on the unstructured side for now. Look forward to seeing how it develops.
Yeah, with half a second's thought at the headline it should be obvious they're worried about people talking on the phone or bluetooth, which really is distracted driving. I was sort of flabbergasted at the focus in the article on "singing along to the radio" as if that's what this is about. I do get how that could be a bit of a false positive, but I doubt it's that common.
The Internet Archive Loses Its Appeal of a Major Copyright Case
Besides dummy stuff like wrong config of knockd itself - which hopefully gets ironed out during initial (local/on-prem setup).

Every now and then particular knock ports might be blocked (DROP) by cliënt side ISP/wifi/etc you happen to be using at the moment.

Or your fiber optic connection package gets a speed boost, along with being moved behind CGNAT.

OK in my case switching from cable to fiber already included ending up behind a CGNAT, but people already on that ISP actually got that 2in1 surprise.
The decision covers that point:

"IA maintains that it delivers each Work “only to one already entitled to view [it]”―i.e., the one person who would be entitled to check out the physical copy of each Work. But this characterization confuses IA’s practices with traditional library lending of print books. IA does not perform the traditional functions of a library; it prepares derivatives of Publishers’ Works and delivers those derivatives to its users in full. That Section 108 allows libraries to make a small number of copies for preservation and replacement purposes does not mean that IA can prepare and distribute derivative works en masse and assert that it is simply performing the traditional functions of a library. 17 U.S.C. § 108; see also, e.g., ReDigi, 910 F.3d at 658 (“We are not free to disregard the terms of the statute merely because the entity performing an unauthorized reproduction makes efforts to nullify its consequences by the counterbalancing destruction of the preexisting phonorecords.”)."

This is really an issue that has to be fixed legislatively rather than in the courts.
The geopolitical bit is that TSMC is building local US and EU fabs in case of a Taiwan invasion. Once those are up and Intel becomes redundant the ad hoc subsidies might just dry up.

Creating a Git Commit: The Hard Way
So then the investment thesis hinges on what the investor thinks AGI’s chances are. 1/100 1/1M 1/1T?

What if it never pans out is there infrastructure or other ancillary tech that society could benefit from?

For example all the science behind the LHC, or bigger and better telescopes: we might never find the theory of everything but the tech that goes into space travel, the science of storing and processing all that data, better optics etc etc are all useful tech
I just checked and got 8 sentences. But I read fast...
The federalized nature of American government means both things can be true simultaneously, even though they seem paradoxical when placed together in juxtaposition. The Feds have supremacy in certain matters, but not all.

Moreover, lobbying is more a question of connections and relationships which are lubricated with money than pure spending power, so it can be easier for a large corporation to nudge things its way at the national and state levels while still struggling to curry influence at the local level, and vice versa for small companies.

Zoom out to "Max" to get the full 60 year history. You can clearly see a full four decades of declining interest rates running from 1981-2020. That very neatly corresponds with the amazing stock market growth most HN readers, myself included, have grown up with.

The stock market growth is neatly correlated with declining interest rates, not with the actual value of the interest rates currently. That is, until the interest rates can't go any lower. The 10-year yield got as close as I hope it will ever get to zero back in 2020. There's nowhere to go but up from there.

For myself, I'm dusting off the old magic - a 60/40 stock/bond portfolio, with the stocks focused on value funds, plus a relatively small amount in "breakout" funds that could multiply a few times if technology goes the way I think it will. Maybe if interest fall a little bit I'll dial it to a 70/30 mix, but bonds are definitely part of the equation now.
> The urgency was faked and less true of the Manhattan Project than it is of AGI safety.

I'd say they were equal. We were worried about Russia getting nuclear capability once we knew Germany was out of the race. Russia was at best our frenemy. The enemy of my enemy is my friend kind of thing.

Turkish woman arrested for criticising Instagram ban, media says
Doesn't seem surprising, the judge froze the bank accounts of X's legal rep after she stopped working for X because of threats of arrest. X had to fire all their Brazil employees to protect them. Starlink assets got frozen so Starlink employees are fair game.

The takedown request asked for IP addresses, does anyone know if non-Brazil IP addresses are also fair game? Feels weird that whatever country can just get US/EU person IP addresses as they wish from BlueSky, Threads etc.
It's grim at INTC but don't forget the CHIPS act and whatever else will follow that. The US government spends 0.5T per month - more than the market cap of all but the top 15 American companies [0] [1]

Not saying it's a good or bad idea, or that it will or won't happen - but if the US government decides to reinvent Intel, they can easily write a cheque that (if spent wisely) might do the trick.

The documentation is atrocious, and usually won't say things like "label your program unconfined_t" because they don't want you to do that ever. Also, tutorials -- even RedHat's -- are always some variation of "here's how to use audit2allow." That is very much not what I want. I want to create a reusable policy that I can apply to many hosts via Ansible or as part of an RPM package I created. I've never been able to figure out how to do that because it is always drowned out by SEO spam that barely scratches the surface of practical usage.

It's painfully obvious to me that the people who create SELinux and its documentation live in some alternate universe where they don't do anything the way I do, so I just turn it off.
If they changed in a way to have meaningful impacts on how astronomical bodies operate we should be able to observe the change as some of the oldest light we observe is billions of years older than the newest light.

In fact, based on this we can tell that the fundamental constant the speed of light has not changed which I agree is very strange.
One of the long-standing critiques I've heard from Alan Kay I think is that smartphone users can't use smartphones to create software for smartphones.

There's no officially supported way of doing that I mean. You're required to have a desktop or laptop computer (keyboard & mouse) that runs XCode/Android Studio...
Even better, it's not a law, it's a provision of the Constitution. Article 1, Section 6 lets members of Congress say whatever they want on the floor.
HSMs support these kinds of scenario (high availability clusters, wrapped keys etc) but I agree. For enterprise use there's no interest or need, and for end users the feature would potentially be confusing.

I just use multiple tokens, and I knew that the infineon sle78 was an intel 80251 derivative before this report ;)
I also don't understand it. If AGI is actually reached, capital as we know it basically becomes worthless. The entire structure of the modern economy and the society surrounding it collapses overnight.

I also don't think there's any way the governments of the world let real AGI stay in the hands of private industry. If it happens, governments around the world will go to war to gain control of it. SSI would be nationalized the moment AGI happened and there's nothing A16Z could do about it.
Not to mention being the world’s thinnest thin client.
Intel was also being at least a bit disingenuous in public at the time although they probably also thought they could make those frequencies work. But a very senior Intel exec told me, at the time IBM was showering them with a lot of public snark, that of course they new about the upcoming issues but Microsoft was so worried about multicore scalability that Intel had to play along.

Unfortunately, only one of the clips has a long enough duration to hear the start of the sonic booms, soundwaves from the detonations reaching the microphone.
Either there is some unversal constants, or everything constantly change.
>Rental housing with 3+ bedrooms (for families) is severely lacking in much of the US. Maybe fire codes are to blame. Taiwan is full of very nice new high-rise development that contains units with lots of bedrooms. Wandering around those developments and the new 3-story developments in California, the ones in Taiwan are much, much, much nicer, even from the outside. The NIMBYs should take note.

And it's because of zoning. Cities allow density construction but then it's almost exclusively 0 and 1 bedroom apartments because you can charge more per sq ft. Zoning laws should force apartment construction to include multiple bedroom units but that would lower the cost of 1br units. So NIMBYs don't want density construction, and the people who build density don't want big units.

So cities are unlivable if you're not young and single or happy living in relative squalor. So people either don't have children or have to move to have children and you get cities that push out a big chunk of the demographic and then force people to commute.
I have never opened up my laptop thinking: oh I wish my new emails were already there.

Annoyingly when I enable S3 on my P1 Gen 5 Windows 11 give me a whole bunch of warnings in the security center.

Seems like S3 itself is incompatible with some modern firmware protections.

But frankly, I don't care whether it's S0 or S3. I just want it to sleep, and I don't want the OS to NOT offer me the options to say 'don't do stuff in sleep mode'
Have you ever read the commands the auditor gives you? They can be laughably broad, barely short of just giving the app unconfined permissions. If you're just blindly copy-pasting what it tells you, you might as well just disable it.
Why would it be "strange"? What reference can we possibly use to compare?

This sort of thing tends to be so far from "common sense" it probably doesn't make sense to try to reason about it from that perspective.
Asking clarifying questions is the exact opposite of Strawmanning. Rather than assuming someone is wrong, it's better to ask for a clarifications first. That's what's happening in #41440133.
The jobs wouldn’t be lower wage in the first place if businesses didn’t have immigrants to exploit.
Shutting down IA altogether seems unlikely at this point (even if legal fees are substantial). They've written before about what the decision means (this appellate court affirmed what the district court did last year) and it doesn't touch things like the Wayback Machine: https://blog.archive.org/2023/08/17/what-the-hachette-v-inte...

I agree that thinking the entire world could be replaced with Tokyo style infrastructure is incredibly unreasonable. But that’s a very fringe idea. And rejecting the rest of the conversation from that and thinking the entire conversation is about that just as silly. And frankly you haven’t even been able to engage enough to understand what they mean by it. For all you know they mean something much more reasonable than you’re imagining, but you’re so quick to jump to thought terminating cliches you can’t have a productive conversation. I don’t know why you bother to participate if you won’t participate. Try being curious and finding common ground, you might learn something.
Google, Facebook and other internet platforms destroyed the viability of the industry previously providing the advertising mediums, which were newspapers/magazines. They didn't completely destroy the ad agencies creating the advertising. Large advertising firms are still responsible for many ads seen on YouTube, tv, billboards or on static Google/Facebook ads.
Could you please explain what is good enough? I understand the concerns for privacy or data protection but that can be catered easily. The main point is growth considering lots of companies are already opting for AI in terms resume filtering and all. If these companies don't opt for AI automation, they might fall back in their growth targets. What are your thoughts on it?
Jesus this is some horrible panopticon shit. I hope everyone involved in building the system to do this feels horrible about it being used this way.

Really gotta remember to check back in this thread and see if there’s any new accounts claiming to be someone involved in this and talking about how they got to the point where this feels like a sensible business decision.
FWIW my YouTube live streams that go on for hours sometimes attract a total of 10-50 viewers who click in for even a second.

Go figure.
Grenfell Tower fire inquiry blames deaths on incompetence and greed
Sure. I wasn't intending to claim that there is no reason to care about greppability. Just providing some tips about getting clangd to work with linux for those who might find that useful.
Not sure how you arrive at that conclusion? This Brazilian judge has banned X in Brazil, barred Brazilians from accessing X using a VPN (with a $9k fine for violation), frozen the bank accounts of X's legal representative and threatened her with arrest. All without any discernible due process.
The Assistant currently has no hard limits on usage. We would like it to stay unlimited and will be monitoring this actively.

Not quite. This behavior leads to firing of middle-class workers. John Deere just laid off 300 workers, moved the factory to Mexico, engaged in buyback, and gave the CEO a huge pay.

So, yeah, it helps your 401k, but in the mean time you don't have a job. And if you do have a job, your salary is not increasing in line with inflation...
What? I cited their own document to show that your claim was not about the sonic-boom noise (which is what people are worried about). You say yourself "we don’t know what Boom are targeting for in-flight noise".

What do you mean about "its parity with ICAO take-off and landing requirements"?
All true. The question still remains how many US folks can /want to go live in Taiwan vs How many Taiwanese can / want to live in US suburban dystopia. And I say this as immigrant to US increasingly disenchanted by suburbia.

From what I read housing price to income ratio has increased ~2.5 times from 6.5 to 15.8 in last two decades in Taiwan. And it seems to be worse in new developments in city like Taipei.

At a top echelon of Taiwan society or as a tourist it must be nice live, roam around in pleasant urban environments compare to US suburbia but I am not sure average Taiwanese are finding life great with stagnating wages and unaffordable housing.

Nothing about the XB-1 design is optimised for boom reduction.

The Overture airliner, with an entirely different configuration, will also only operate supersonically over oceans.
You raise a valid objection:

To put the US equity outperformance of the last 15 years in perspective, US equities historically have outperformed non-US equities by 2.3 percentage points annualized since 1926 and by 2.7 percentage points in the post-WWII period. In our strategic asset allocation models for clients, we assume one percentage point of outperformance annualized [0]

Not sure this really breaks the idea of small cap vs large cap (since there's been swings and reversals in that in just the past 15 years IIRC), just the international equity differences.

Also, just going to note that 20 years is really not that long and it's reasonable for valuation swings to take that long to reverse.

It was a photo-op, someone probably handed him the gun 30 seconds before the photo was taken. The may have installed it backwards to troll him. It's not like the commander of a giant vessel is out shooting over the side at the ocean in the normal course of their duties.
They certainly would if they thought they would win in court.
Adding a little context for those not familiar with orbital mechanics: the speed of a circular orbit is directly related to its distance from the barycenter (i.e. the Sun). The asteroid belt is between the orbits of Mars (orbiting at 24km/s) and Jupiter (13km/s). Whilst an asteroid that strays far enough to hit Earth (orbiting at 30km/s) is by definition not in an exactly circular orbit, nor one always between Mars and Jupiter, the difference in speeds isn't that great. That accounts for ddahlen's point about the limited range of velocities.

A very rough calculation of mine involving a hypothetical asteroid in a elliptical orbit extending as far as Jupiter and right down to Earth, assuming no difference in orbital inclination to Earth and no significant gravitational perturbations, would result in a relative speed of 5km/s. The actual impact speed would be greater due to Earth's own gravity, adding an extra 11km/s.

Not all asteroids are from the asteroid belt, but I am under the impression that visitors from the outer solar system (which could be as fast as the upper bound that ddahlen mentions) are much more infrequent than stray asteroid belt objects, so the median impact speed would still be relatively slow.
Nobody used EUV for 10 nm though. Even 7 nm doesn't need EUV. This kind of error calls the rest into question.
To add to the melancholy: Fasnacht in Basel was cancelled twice during covid. That hit many people very hard. A small group played two well known tunes (one in a minor key instead of the usual major) up one of the towers of the minster to symbolically carry Basler Fasnacht to its grave (downstairs the police was trying to get the door open because they did not know about it). The performance is haunting and is of course on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ge7LRIPKREA

This website makes me happy.

I've always loved noodling with CSS. After a decade+ of web dev and through making a career of web stuff I learned how much people seem to hate CSS.

I can pour countless hours into exploring and tinkering with hand rolled HTML+CSS. Deploying it just to see how it feels for real on my phone. And 99% of it all never going anywhere.

I guess for most people that's called a waste of time. Well this site sure does make my day =)
Or... your investment in anything that becomes ASI is trivially subverted by the ASI to become completely powerless. The flux in world order, mass manipulation, and surgical lawyering would be unfathomable.
