The company wouldn't. Someone retroactively realizes they have the data, and then it does.

I'm certainly not saying it happened, or will happen, here. I'm saying it definitely happens.

This is why in regulated industries, there's an emphasis on "data minimization". Much like the principle of least privilege, but applied to whether you're letting your people or systems be exposed to it in the first place.

It's easy to follow a least privilege policy if there's an actual technical control not just agreement, and even easier if the control is "I never had it, didn't derive it, and made sure I couldn't if I wanted to".

If you aren't collecting it for any use, even inadvertently, you can't retcon it into availability for alternative uses.
McMaster also sells discs of tool steel and glass bearing balls... and carbide, and ceramic, etc. What if the bearing ball was carbide, even harder? What would happen if you reduced the hardness of a steel ball, which usually only requires normal kitchen oven temperatures? What happens if the materials switch places, say a hardened tool steel disc and glass ball?

Anyway, lots of options to safely experiment with material science concepts in very accessible and tweakable ways! No beryllium or foundry equipment required. I do think the massive, well fitted, rigid surface backing up the disc is important to constrain what this is demonstrating - plastic vs elastic deformation.
Current models are very cheap. Like GPT-4 cost ~$40 million to train, right? Once we get 100 billion dollar models I suppose it'll be different.

We all know the saying: "If it's free, you're the product." I believe the free version of ChatGPT is primarily a data acquisition tool that OpenAI uses to fine-tune its models and conduct reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) to enhance their usefulness. In machine learning, data is key, and OpenAI is outpacing its competitors largely due to the vast amount of data it can gather from free ChatGPT users.

It's already possible to perform Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) on ChatGPT, from simple to complex cases. However, I'm somewhat skeptical about use cases that involve integrating large language models (LLMs) as part of a larger system. While these applications can help build new features, they may not lead to the creation of a 'killer app' in the generative AI space. Take text-to-SQL, for example: it's a useful tool, but you still need a human to audit the generated SQL. You can't blindly trust an LLM to create flawless SQL queries. Therefore, text-to-SQL remains more suitable for technical users rather than those with limited data analytics skills. Otherwise, it could lead to confusion. Imagine a scenario where the commercial director and the marketing director have differing views on last year's sales because they each received different answers from a chatbot. That would be a nightmare. We haven't even managed to make simple dashboards universally acceptable, so diving into hallucination-driven data analytics seems premature.

Even with RAG implementations in companies and tools like text-to-SQL, the user interface often remains a chat application. I haven't seen much variation in this regard. While there's a lot of talk about the need to reimagine user interfaces, there's little to show for it so far. Chat interfaces seem to be the most suitable format for LLMs, and ChatGPT is likely the 'killer app' in this domain. OpenAI will likely explore further monetization strategies in the future, perhaps by incorporating ads in some manner.

I'm not making any comment on whether rich people are more or less likely to be politically inclined than average people, draw your own conclusions.

I'm also not sure who you're suggesting is ideologically blind. All I'm saying is that given resources like a huge pile of money, many would not wish to use that money to coerce others or otherwise change their local political situation to better suit them. Instead they'd use those resources to increase their own resilience, i.e. simply choosing to leave the neighborhood or situation that was bothering them instead of trying to change it and assuming their own interests are the best and most appropriate ones for everyone.

As the parent is pointing out, everyone thinks they are doing TheRightThing(tm) when they collect/use power to force their views on others. Instead you could have power/wealth and just choose to not fuck with other people. That's not being ideologically blind, it's just an ideology that says, you know what, even my strongly held opinions could be wrongheaded, and maybe I shouldn't be using my arbitrarily acquired wealth/power to steer anything besides my own life.

We already tax unrealized gains. The US has property tax. When you buy a house, you pay a tax based on it's worth. We just don't have a tax on legal fictions (paper property like stock). The question is, why not? Why can't we also tax that property?
I think this is an argument against how taxes are organized, at least in the US

Rather than add a bunch of subsidies in the form of tax breaks, the government could just spend money on programs that accomplish the aim they want. By making this complicated system whereby subsidies are accomplished by negating taxes you would otherwise owe, this means these benefits are more likely to help people who are otherwise going to be paying more taxes, and the fact that these require legwork to opt into without being at risk of the government thinking you're defrauding them, it seems kind of inevitable that it would devolve into a subsidy mostly for wealthier people who are good at navigating the bureaucracy of it, or rather, who can pay someone in what has become a cottage industry of tax (evasion) specialists who ply the trade of doing so in service of people who can afford them

Like, yeah, given that the game is set up this way, the obvious objective of it from the standpoint of any taxpayer engaging with it is to pay as little as possible. But if the aim of the tax breaks are something besides creating said incentive (and the industry around it), it seems like bad mechanism design to have it work this way in the first place
California was recently deluged with with record rainfall, which all drained off into the sea as California never bothered doing any terraforming which would slow the water down and let it soak into the ground.

So now, once again, they're soon afterwards facing drought again.

P.S. Such terraforming is an ancient practice that transforms arid land into productive farmland.
It's not a counter-point you think it is.
ARM is not a primary reason why Apple's M series are so much better. If it is, other ARM should be able to match, but they don't. Simply put, Apple built a good microarchitecture and a pipeline - e.g. M1 has, e.g. 600 reorder buffer. Back then, this was 2x of most other CPUs, regardless of ISA. This is not something you can just throw more transistors at it - you need all the other parts of the processor optimized in order to make that useful, and Apple did. Simply, M-series are one of the best out-of-order pipelines ever built.
This is very doable, you can make it. You can even use an LLM to help you!

How do you know that the accounts X failed to block were committing crimes? My understanding is that the judge in this matter hasn't published any information about the block orders or why he issued them.
Nope it is not. Property tax does not take any gains into account - it's tax on full value (with possible exemptions) not gains, you pay the same regardless whether you bought it for $1 or $1M. Except of course in California where they have this weird scheme which led to the fact that my next door neighbor paid less than half of the property tax I did for pretty much identical house (because they bought it in the 80s) - which looks like negative tax on gains.

USE THIS SOFTWARE AND LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE:

We made a cute Christmas video to include in our card this year. My wife created a QR code from a random website and included it in the card as a picture. It linked to our video. We sent all of the cards out. People loved it.

... except we got an email from the QR code company about a week before Christmas. We went over our "free" click (the QR code went through their URL shortener). If we wanted to keep the QR code active we had to pay $20/mo.

We got absolutely fleeced. Never again. Control the URL and make the QR image yourself.

Trained GPT to analyze body fat% within 5% error of DEXA scan
Hey everyone, been working on this for a while and finally got it to a place where I'm confident in the accuracy. Started off by seeing how good GPT vision is at identifying real world foods (given the amount of variance in how the same piece of food can look) and then how well GPT could understand depth/volume if given an image from an iPhone camera. These two things together make for pretty interesting calorie counting use cases. There's a few calorie counting apps out there that try to do this but I don't think any of them are specializing their models on this use case (at worst they're scanning barcodes, at best they're using out of the box GPT or Claude etc).

I decided to take it one step further to see if I could apply what success I saw with food identification and calorie estimation to see if I could replicate the results of a DEXA scan (for the uninitiated this is a 200 dollar body fat scan). Proceeded to try and fine tune GPT 4o on a dataset of dexa scans, photos, and demographic data (age, height, weight, etc) and this is the result! Would lvoe to hear what you think if you try it out!

PS: I've done little amrekting but it has gotten to dozens of paid users, if you have any thoughts on features to add to make it more valuable for the paid users please let me know. Didn't think I would get this far (ramen profitable).
> As far as I know, the full weight of topos theory isn’t even needed for algebraic geometry

The original topos theory developed by Grothendieck and his collaborators in the 60s is quite pragmatic and served to define cohomology theories for varieties over finite fields. Later other people, coming from mathematical logic, distilled "elementary" axioms from there and developed another kind of topos theory that is pretty much divorced from algebraic geometry.

Ask HN: When did GitHub became so slow?
I have 1Gbps speed in download. Every single website loads instantly, I can have multiple big downloads in parallel without a single slow down.

Yet, it's been a few months, the Github website is really slow. It takes between 30s to sometimes 2-3 minutes!! (I'm not exaggerating) to load. And I'm not talking about "the webpage loads instantly then I have to wait for the actual content to show up", the webpage itself is extremely slow (by "webpage", I'm talking about that first HTTP request the browser sends to get the initial HTML/JS/etc).

Is it only me?

49ers receiver Ricky Pearsall shot during robbery attempt in San Francisco
Isn't it kind of obvious that the instruction set itself cannot directly impact performance, since operations are just single clock cycles? I assume the issue is more about the difficulties of implementation, in particular how x86 has a lot of complicated archaic features and corner cases that just absorbs space on silicon, not to mention engineering effort. Apple, being vertically integrated, is free to toss features at will.
And you think censorship will solve this? You’ll just get a different sort of monster.

No problem there unless you like being the ruler from afar. Perhaps a good solution would be to split governance so that urban and rural populations stay separate.

This.

Synthesis efficiency is on the order of 60%. Combustion efficiency, driven by Carnot's Law, ~30--50%, possibly a bit higher for combined and/or power-to-thermal. But the overall round-trip efficiency, based on both synthesis and generating losses will be low, 15--25%, perhaps as high as 30%.

The goal of such a system isn't efficient storage so much as it is persistent and dispatchable. It's possible to store large quantities of liquid fuels for long periods of time and tap into them within seconds or minutes as generating, or other fuel-based energy applications, are required. Other storage/release options either don't have the long-term storage capability, or cannot be ramped up as quickly.

Other storage options range from the exceedingly short-lived but responsive (supercapacitors, kinetic flywheels) which can respond on a sub-second to second basis, but aren't viable for long-term storage at all, to options which work over a few hours, daily supply-demand inconsistencies, etc., such as pumped hydro and high-termperature thermal storage (e.g., molten salt), to seasonal thermal storage (hot water, ground geothermal where geology supports this).

Fuel synthesis makes sense where there's exceedingly high seasonality in energy generating capacity (e.g., summer vs. winter for PV / solar), or where there are longer-term highly-variable generating trends (e.g., wind, with higher and lower output over the course of days or weeks). Or where communities are highly isolated and cannot readily be connected to a grid to balance consumption and generation over time (remote islands, arctic communities), or where a region has a very high generating potential but low domestic demand (say, northwest Australia, with sun-drenched deserts and low electrical demand from sheep and roos).

Banking summer-time / high-production capacity as fuel, and drawing down those fuel reserves or shipping them to areas of high demand could be the shape of a future energy economy. It should dramatically rewrite energy geopolitics.
> I assume this was some toy compiler

I dont know the definition of "toy compiler", but compare the following (x86 backend vs arm64 backend)

https://github.com/Clozure/ccl/blob/d960a0e/compiler/X86/x86...

https://github.com/Clozure/ccl/blob/d960a0e/compiler/ARM64/a...

I would argue the former is a lot more complex compared to the functional equivalent in arm64

The specific extension to allow e.g. minss would look something like this

(def-x86-opcode minss ((:regxmm :insert-xmm-rm) (:regxmm :insert-xmm-reg))
#x0f5d #o300 #x0 #xf3)

Now try doing the same for e.g. movsxd, and you will have to be careful with the ModR/M byte, due to the VEX prefix changing semantics.
There are so many abandoned commercial buildings throughout some of the Boston suburbs. From what I understand, people keep the rents high to increase the value of the building so they can borrow against it, and leave the buildings unoccupied. I hope this changes soon
The fascinating thing here that I think caught many of us by surprise— and certainly myself — is realizing that building capable LLMs so far is essentially elastic with respect to capital. I don’t think this was immediately obvious when OpenAI first launched ChatGPT. I also don’t think this is true in general for software (though there are other cases).

This "why" is more "what are the underlying economics that enable the development of the better chip". Economics doesn't guarantee you'll get a better CPU. It still takes a cutting-edge engineering team with a good CPU architect to build that best chip. e.g. Intel didn't fall behind because of lack of money.
LMFAO. My Tesla has been broken into multiple times in the Bay Area, with footage of the perpetrators and their license plate numbers, and the police have refused to investigate and were often unwilling to even accept the footage. And this isn't just me: literally everyone I know with a Tesla in the Bay Area has had a similar experience. The cops do not care, at all.

Towing someone's car on the off chance it had video surveillance of a crime the police bother working on is insane overreach when they won't even investigate crimes to that owner's car in the first place.
