I think the key part of the bitter lesson is that (scalable) ability to learn from data should be favored over built-in biases.

There are at least three major built-in biases in GPT-O1:

- specific reasoning heuristics hard coded in the RL decision making

- the architectural split between pre-trained LLM and what appears to be a symbolic agent calling it

- the reliance on one-time SGD driven learning (common to all these pre-trained transformers)

IMO search (reasoning) should be an emergent behavior of a predictive architecture capable of continual learning - chained what-if prediction.
It is just for me or it is really funny that he writes about fuzzing in his blog and his name is "Michal Melewski"? It is almost "Michał Zalewski"!

> My also naive (an possibly out of date) understanding is key generation is much faster in with ecc, and that signing is faster too, but verifying is faster for rsa. So switching from a RSA to an ECC server certificate saves bytes on the wire, because keys are smaller, and saves server cpu because signing is faster, but may increase client cpu because verification is slower. The byte savings may make up for the increase in cpu though.

Interesting! I wonder if this new algorithm is intended to help with that. I'm super curious if the smaller payload does indeed make a difference (with the current algorithm) like you mention; I know that with databases and filesystems, compression is commonly used to shift the balance from I/O to CPU due to disk writes being slow (with reduced storage size being a side benefit but not usually the main motivation), but I also know that cryptographic verification being too slow can be an anti-feature if it makes brute forcing feasible, so the amount of CPU work needed might be pretty high still.
Still gets 3 r's in strawberry shortcake in a fresh context: https://i.imgur.com/EGI2UT9.png

If I'm understanding, your theory is:

* When asked for r's in strawberry it outputs 2 because it's interpreting your question as whether the second r-sound has one or two r's

* It also miscounts 2 r's in strawberry when you're clear you don't mean that, or use strawberry as part of another phrase, due to how tokens work

But then that makes the part about interpreting the question as "r's in the second r-sound" superfluous (https://i.imgur.com/eYKYRfN.png), if it counts 2 r's in strawberry anyway. There's no need for it to also be misinterpreting what you meant.
My previous ThinkPad lasted eight years before I replaced it with this one.
It doesn't seem wasteful and unproductive, given that the result of the HFT industry is smaller bid/ask spreads (lowering costs for all trades) and payment for order flow which is the mechanism that eliminated retail commissions and provides price improvement on many retail trades. And even so, HFT firms are making money.

It might not seem like real work, but making money by reducing costs of market participants sounds like a good thing. I admit though, block trades might be harder now than before the rise of HFT.

If you could do warehousing/distributing/coordinating fresh foods in a way that reduced the difference in price between the farmer and the consumer and make money doing it, that would clearly be good work.

I find this sort of statement very odd in what otherwise sounds like a lightweight but timeless telling of what they've found.
Even the book on Microservices says “First build the Monolith”. You don’t know how to split your system until you have actually got some traction with users, and it’s easier to split a monolith than to reorganize services.

You may never need to split your monolith! Stripe eventually broke some stuff out of their Rails monolith but it gets you surprisingly far.

You are not going to get easier to debug than a Django/Rails/etc monolith.

I bit of foresight on where you want to go with your infra can help you though; I built the first versions of our company as a Django Docker container running on a single VM. Deploy was a manual “docker pull; docker stop; docker start”. This setup got us surprisingly far. Docker is nice here as a way of sidestepping dependency packaging issues, this can be annoying in the early stages (eg does my server have the right C header files installed for that new db driver I installed? Setup Will be different than in your Mac!)

We eventually moved to k8s after our seed extension in response to a business need for reliability and scalability; k8s served us well all the way through series B . So the setup to have everything Dockerized made that really easy too - but we aggressively minimized complexity in the early stages.

The title implies that humans lack biological adaptations to swimming in cold water, but this isn’t true: we have an unusual amount of subcutaneous fat, the mammalian dive response, etc.

Like this article says- you need to be in good health and adapt your body to doing it over time, and it is fine. I’ve been practicing Wim Hof for a while, and can swim and freedive in ice cold water for quite a long time without any major issues. My body does not panic and tense up because I have learned how to relax and prevent that.
> Docker is literally adding middleware between your Linux system and app.

Not really, no. Docker just uses functionality provided by the Linux kernel for its exact use case. It's not like a VM.

> it's absolutely overhead and complexity that is not necessary.

This is demonstratively wrong. Docker introduces less complexity compared to system native tools like Systemd or Bash. Dockerfiles will handle those for you.

> I have no idea what I am talking about

I wouldn't say that. You seem to have strong puritarian opinions tough.
"sexualised themselves"

I would say there's a greater risk hiring sanctimonious prudes.
"Told them point blank" -- I mean, there was no private channel where police could confidentially tell the hostages about this. It's a negotiation point -- make the hostage-takers aware that they do not have unlimited immunity from consequences just because they have hostages. If the police had caused injury to come to a hostage, whether as collateral damage from police action or from the captors retaliating for police action, the afterwards I can see this being a cause of concern for the hostages.

"Pop science" seems orthogonal to this concept -- it's like saying the concept of "jury of your peers" is pop science. It's a phenomenon that has some descriptive power, that's all. I mean, if you're going to say that in a hostage situation, it's okay for the police to deliberately endanger or harm the hostages because of Stockholm Syndrome, then that's clearly a misuse. But in hostage negotation and rescue, keeping in mind that the hostages may not be sympathetic or cooperative with the authorities seems like a really great thing to keep in mind.
For me (where our BE consists of maybe 100 endpoints) we’ve found the sweet spot to be Google AppEngine. Incredibly simple to deploy, we don’t really need to manage infrastructure or networking (although you can if you want), decent performance, plays well with other GCP services, great logging and observability, etc

We’ve tried deploying services on K8s, Lambda/Cloud Run, but in the end, the complexity just didn’t make sense.

I’m sure we could get better performance running our own Compute/EC2 instances, but then we need to manage that.

> It's a wrapper around linux and a middle between my OS and my app

No. Docker doesn't "wrap" anything, and it certainly does not wrap Linux. Please reconsider looking at the documentation. It uses native kernel features. SystemD does a similar thing.

> For example Docker complexity - you need to learn a new filetype, a new set of commands, a new architecture, new configurations, spend hours reading another set of documentation

I can't say I agree.
> Also, is it viable to produce something like the A320 in low quantities when airlines need fleets in the hundreds?

Bombardier thought so, and did so! They developed and introduced the C-series aircraft to compete with smaller 737s and A320/A319. After introduction, Boeing fucked them over so hard that they sold the aircraft program after introduction to Airbus for a token sum. Airbus now builds and sells the C-series as the A220.

This neglects that Permacultural farming is beneficial for soil and feeds way more people per unit of land, but requires more labour than monoculture trowel and row farming.
It’s already fake. The creator is not really into you and your interactions are with some dude in an offshore call center, not intimate chats with the person you think you’re having. It’s ridiculous this is considered okay by the platform.

Unlike something like professional wrestling (that is make believe real content), the AI equivalent to only fans seems like it will be trivial to make.

And as the article pointed out, part of why onlyfans exploded in popularity is that other sources of free porn dried up, so it shows there is a substitution aspect where if something better / cheaper comes along, people will switch to it.
Consider organizing at your workplace then. If workers have a mechanism for sharing their concerns, more power to them.

I was curious to learn more about that claim about Hitler's origins, because Hitler himself explained how he became an anti-semite and I don't remember Schönerer appearing anywhere in that explanation. But the wiki link doesn't explain either. It just makes the same claim and cites a book from 2017. It turns out that book is readable on Google Books and it also doesn't provide any evidence for the claim of a Hitler/Schönerer link. It just asserts it without presenting any evidence or any further citations, in fact, the entirety of the argument is that Hitler was "no doubt" influenced by Schönerer. This is a worse level of evidence than a tweet.

Also you claimed Schönerer is the origin of the Final Solution but the Wikipedia page doesn't say that, so where did that come from?

I honestly wonder if Wikipedia should cite books. It's too hard to check those references so people don't and that lets un-evidenced claims get treated as "reliably sourced". Putting something in a book doesn't magically make it more reliable than putting something in a blog, yet Wikipedia's policy strongly assumes that it does.
Dtaisk Afai. Cof Lemma, 19:1, 2, 549-552 / https://www.jstor.org/stable/25414613

Let me first give you four quotations.

Firstly:
“Our youth loves luxury, has bad manners, disregards authority, and has no respect whatsoever for age. Our children today are tyrants; they do not get up when an elderly man enters the room—they talk back to their parents—they are just very bad.”

Secondly:
“I no longer have any hope for the future of our country if today’s youth should ever become the leaders of tomorrow, because this youth is unbearable, reckless—just terrible.”

Thirdly:
“Our world has reached a critical stage; children no longer listen to their parents; the end of the world cannot be far away.”

Finally:
“This youth is rotten from the very bottom of their hearts; the young people are malicious and lazy; they will never be as youth happened to be before. Today’s youth will not be able to maintain our culture.”

The first quote came from Socrates (470–399 B.C.); the second from Hesiod (circa 720 B.C.); the third from an Egyptian priest about 2,000 years ago; and the last was recently discovered on clay pots in the ruins of Old Babylon, which are more than 3,000 years old.
You're right! I missed it completely on the web page. You are a savior!! Thanks!
Lots of 3d printers used to have issues like this with the firmware controlling their hotends. They’d fail on and start a fire. Modern Klipper and Marlin firmware detect wild or unexpected temp swings and pull the “emergency stop” cord to shut it all down.

And speaking of safety, old FPV flight control software didn’t handle a very common mistake. It is very easy to put the wrong propeller on a motor. For example you might accidentally put on the counterclockwise propeller on the motor that spins clockwise. The result is when you arm the quad (as in turn on the motors), it flips its shit because the quad starts moving in a completely unexpected way. The flight control software is designed to “lock the angle (attitude) of the quad in and fight any uncommanded deviation”. Well, a backwards prop produces a hell of an uncommanded deviation!! So the controller tells the motor to spin faster to compensate but all that does is make things worse as the backwards prop pushes the thing in the exact wrong way. So it becomes an out of control quad that can and will cause property damage and injury (the propellers on a quad are large, very sharp and attached to very powerful motors. Coming into contact with a spinning propeller will send you to the hospital). This was a big problem in tight spaces like races and stuff.

A while ago somebody submitted a pull request that added a safety. When first arms, if the quad starts to behave “wrong” or “unexpected”, it immediately disarms. From what I recall it was actually fairly simple to detect too… if the “error” in the PID loop got too high it means something is very wrong mechanically and it’s best shut down. Countless fingers have no doubt been saved by this patch.

It’s probably very similar detection code to what is in 3d printer firmware or espresso machine firmware. If the PID error is “unexpected” something is mechanically wrong and it needs to shut down before Bad Things happen.
It's funny (and sad) when you can tell someone is old because they are still holding onto an epiphany or belief they solidified 20 years ago, but because those 20 years flew by, they never realized how outdated that belief became.

I catch this happening to myself more and more as I get older, where I realize something I confidently state as true might be totally out of date, because, oh wow, holy shit how did 10 years go by since I was last deep into that topic!?
Good video.

Parallelism is a characteristic of the runtime that allows simultaneous execution of those tasks.
As someone who loves long, mellow rides on my mountain bike, I'm conflicted about Wilderness areas. I like the idea of protecting more land, but the idea that you can ride horses into a Wilderness area, shoot an elk and pack it out, but can't push a stroller in (because wheels) or ride a bike seems kind of odd in terms of the impactfulness of those activities.

I'd love it if things were mostly left up to local decision makers. Some trails aren't appropriate for bikes and that's fine, Wilderness area or no. Some trails within Wilderness areas would be no problem at all for bikes.

And tactically, maybe environmentalists would gain some allies if they weren't trying to push cyclists out.
> Not every hostage situation is actually life threatening

Really? I would say that every hostage situation is tautologically life threatening -- that's what makes it a hostage situation.

You blame Boeing’s quality problems on the wage workers and not management

And you drag their union for the reason that you consider yourself lucky and gracious for receiving an under inflation raise with no retirement benefits

That’s crab mentality - totally unnecessary to drag others down to your level when their success costs you nothing and only stands to benefit you too through their infectious solidarity
I pretty quickly realized in college when learning about this stuff that the math was well over my head, and I shifted my focus more to understanding how to properly use cryptography rather than implement it (which turned out to be more important as a software engineer anyhow). In retrospect, I really appreciate how the professor I had in a security-focused course explicitly told us it was okay if we didn't understand the math and wouldn't be tested on it when going over how it worked.

That Darwin style solution is unlikely; home reloading is a thing, I’ve known a few people who did it because they wanted custom loads or just didn’t want to pay retail prices. One of them even melts and pours his own lead.

Primers would probably be the difficult part for a home manufacturer if they were taken off the market.
> National Recreation Areas

Pardon my french, but fuck no. I think "Wilderness" is a perfectly appropriate designation for the intended use of these lands-to keep man-made impact on them as little as possible. The fact that it's not "historically accurate" doesn't diminish the value of the label in its intended use.
Straw man. No one singled anything out, this thread is specifically talking about one topic. In many other threads you'll find people discussing the extreme negative consequences of social media.
Don't know about doctors, but school reports have been done like this for decades. You select 1, 7, 8, 5, 2 to a series of questions about the child (eg "Does the child pay attention in class?"), and the software expands that into a school report.
I feel y’all are too focused on the end product.

I deploy to pared down bare metal, but I use containerization for development, both local and otherwise, for me and contributors.

So much easier than trying to get a local machine to be set up identically to a myriad of servers running multiple projects with their idiosyncratic needs.

I like developing on my Qubes daily driver so I can easily spin up a server imitating vm, but if I’m getting your help, especially without paying you, then I want development for you to be as seamless as possible whatever your personal preferred setup.

I feel containerization helps with that.

From murders to politicians to CEOs, nearly every impactful predator has a lot of positive qualities as well.

You don't rise to the top of the food chain without having some really sociopathic/narcisisstic traits.

But, you also don't rise to the top of the food chain solely by being terrible all of the time. And IMO/IME lot of those "good traits in bad people" honestly are genuine, not just facades.

This is not to excuse the bad people of the world. It's just... honestly, as a middle-aged person myself... it has been the hardest thing for me to wrap my head around as an adult. The rest of the stuff, I was prepared for, on some level.
I've done a lot of thinking and reading on this subject, as I'm sure many other HN readers have.

I've come to the same conclusion as the Vox article. I haven't found any compelling argument for how or why degrowth specifically would work.

Sure, I think it's toxic that individuals and corporations pursue growth at all costs, but currency is fundamentally a tool created to resolve debts and for that to work effectively must come with some incentives for allocation and payback.

Capitalism has brought the entire world out of poverty and enabled massive innovation at a global scale before most modern technology as we know it. It's the most efficient way to allocate needed resources as far as I can tell.

What I do think is urgently needed are 2 things:

1. Some way to incentivize local spending over global spending, and it's probably not tariffs due to easy loopholes and negative externalities. People have started to do this of their own accord because we can sense it is right and more just.

2. Find better, more general ways to encourage competition and prevent anticompetitive behavior in markets. Everyone here knows how much more efficient small groups of people can be relative to large organizations. How can we make anticompetitive behavior and market dominance harder in the general sense?

There aren't easy answers to these two problems, but it sure as hell isn't total deregulation with laissez-faire capitalism and it sure as hell isn't centralized planned economies and communism. It's obviously somewhere in between.
Although Onlyfans is certainly more exploitative, I would argue that this concept of one-way parasocial relationships has existed since basically the dawn of humanity and likely has roots to our earliest fundamental tribalistic nature.

I mean look at the extremely popular K-pop bands, fans get insanely invested into these groups, following them, bringing glowsticks to show support, etc. Or the entire Japanese idol movement for that matter.

Or think about how people stand in line for hours just to get the signature of somebody at a convention.

I think this is just the way a lot of people are wired. I don't know if it's bad or a good thing, it's just something I've noticed.
Stock buy-backs are a tax efficient way to send distribute to shareholders. If you make them illegal then the only way left to distribute money to shareholders is via dividends. Want to make that illegal as well???
That 25% raise is on the amount agreed upon in their CBA in 2008. So they haven't really gotten a fully negotiated raise since 2008. You would probably reject that as well, unless you were desperate.
I'm assuming when they say that this improves user experience, that it implies the use case is primarily TLS. In which case store-now-decrypt-later attacks are already considered an urgent threat with regard to post quantum crypto. With FIPS 203 being released and Chrome is already using an implementation based on the draft standard, this seems like this algo (at least for TLS) should be on its way out.
