It's quite strange to me that business leaders love talking about how they are being rewarded for taking risks when it's used to justify disproportionate executive pay and stock buybacks for investors, but in all discussions of economic and even criminal regulation surrounding businesses, a business being made to accept some liability for putting others at risk is considered too risky for business. At present, large swaths of the business world are heavily subsidized by the government, can write off operating losses on their taxes, are often funded by hedge funds and investors who don't seem to mind them being deeply unprofitable for many years, and hold things like the IP rights produced by any worker they've employed as a treasure trove of potential value to sell off for the benefit of the owners should the business fail. On top of that, we must also believe that it's good and right that it is nearly impossible to prosecute any actual decision-maker within a company for criminal conduct done or harm caused by that company, or else business is just too risky and the economy might collapse?

To me this doesn't even warrant consideration, it's ridiculous on its face and perverts the notion of rule of law
I have never based a car purchasing decision on how much noise the car makes.
I'm not from the US, so I might be missing your point, but if you're referring to neutrality around free speech then I guess the answer is yes? I'm not sure where you're heading though. I do think this is a very complicated issue, and drawing the line is hard and often contextual. But at the same time I feel quite certain that a line must be drawn.
When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them?
You have made them a little lower than the angels
and crowned them with glory and honor.
You made them rulers over the works of your hands;
you put everything under their feet:
all flocks and herds,
and the animals of the wild,
the birds in the sky,
and the fish in the sea,
all that swim the paths of the seas.

– Psalm 8:3-8
Seems cheaper to just buy a noise dampener.
I haven't gotten their PM sensor unit but have a CO2 sensor from CO2.click. About to pull the trigger on a PM sensor but just deciding which one. The founder there is active on a few places including Mastodon and I really like my CO2 sensor from them.

Edit: sorry missed your price guidance. They are quite a bit more so probably not what you're after!
Address/MemorySanitizer are also meant for this kind of problem. https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki/AddressSanitizer https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki/MemorySanitizer

Also valgrind, but I'm more familiar with the first two.

We understand matter perfectly well. Look at the size and scope of the engineering marvels that have been constructed on the surface of this planet and in our low orbit. It's astonishing.

What we don't understand is the fundamental structure of that matter or of our Universe. I personally feel that the people ostensibly "in charge" of this effort are a little chagrined at their decades of inability to produce not only a cohesive result but even a reasonable intermediate explanation that they intentionally couch these problems in the most arcane and impenetrable language available to them.

In any case, you shouldn't feel discontent for humanity, as we've simply discovered all the easy problems, cleverly worked out all the average problems, and now all we're left with is the intractably hard ones. It's very likely that a different type of effort we haven't engaged in yet will be necessary to make progress.
There are some effects that may show up only at very high energies. A large enough catapult and you would put something into orbit. Wouldn’t that be a novel outcome?

> I've often wondered if broad memorization of trivia is really a sensible use of precious neurons.

I agree if we are talking about maxing raw reasoning and logical onference abilities, but the problem is that the ship has sailed and people expect llms to have domain knowledge (even more than expert users are clamoring for LLMs to have better logic).

I bet a model with actual human “intelligence” but no Google-scale encyclopedic knowledge of the world it lives in would be scored less preferentially by the masses than what we have now.

I think the article has good sentiments about it. Actually using your application a lot helps polish it down a ton.

However, wouldn't putting the input inside of the label (before the label text) be a better solution than fiddling too much with CSS and flexbox? It's more foolproof to ensure clicks within the label activate the input, and eliminates the need for the "for" reference.
There's a little bit more to it. Firstly you can deploy the migration first as long as it's forwards compatible (ie. old code can read from it). That migration needs to be zero downtime; it can't, for example, rewrite whole tables or otherwise lock them, or requests will time out. Doing a whole new schema is one way to do it, but not always necessary. In any case you probably then need a backfill job to fill up the new schema with data before possibly removing the old one.

There's a good post about it here: https://rtpg.co/2021/06/07/changes-checklist.html

Nope. That is coincidence paired with statistical priors. If you have certain relationships to people it is not unlikely that they would think: "I should text" in periods that overlap with you thinking a similar thing.

Notre Dame had multiple accidents over the centuries. Every time something was rebuilt there was a war against changes. And yet many things changed - what you see is not what it looked like before the incident.

What exactly is different this time so that we do not leave a piece of contemporary history in Notre Dame?

Context: French, huge amateur of Middle Ages history.
For those interested, a few months ago someone posted benchmarks with their MBP 14 w/ an M3 Max [1] (128GB, 40CU, theoretical: 28.4 FP16 TFLOPS, 400GB/s MBW)

The results for Llama 2 70B Q4_0 (39GB) was 8.5 tok/s for text generation (you'd expect a theoretical max of a bit over 10 tok/s based on theoretical MBW) and a prompt processing of 19 tok/s. On a 4K context conversation, that means you would be waiting about 3.5min between turns before tokens started outputting.

Sadly, I doubt that Strix Halo will perform much better. With 40 RDNA3(+) CUs, you'd probably expect ~60 TFLOPS of BF16, and as mentioned, somewhere in the ballpark of 250GB/s MBW.

Having lots of GPU memory even w/ weaker compute/MBW would be good for a few things though:

* MoE models - you'd need something like 192GB of VRAM to be able to run DeepSeek V2.5 (21B active, but 236B in weights) at a decent quant - a Q4_0 would be about 134GB to load the weights, but w/ far fewer activations, you would still be able to inference at ~20 tok/s). Still, even with "just" 96GB you should be able to just fit a Mixtral 8x22B, or easily fit one of the new MS (GRIN/Phi MoEs).

* Long context - even with kvcache quantization, you need lots of memory for these new big context windows, so having extra memory for much smaller models is still pretty necessary. Especially if you want to do any of the new CoT/reasoning techniques, you will need all the tokens you can get.

* Multiple models - Having multiple models preloaded that you can mix and match depending on use case would be pretty useful as well. Even some of the smaller Qwen2.5 models looks like they might do code as well as some much bigger models, you might want a model that's specifically tuned for function calling, a VLM, SRT/TTS, etc. While you might be able to swap adapters for some of this stuff eventually, for now, being able to have multiple models pre-loaded locally would still be pretty convenient.

* Batched/offline inference - being able to load up big models would still be really useful if you have any tasks that you could queue up/process overnight. I think these types of tools are actually relatively underexplored atm, but has as many use cases/utility as real-time inferencing.

One other thing to note is that on the Mac side, you're mainly relegated to llama.cpp and MLX. With ROCm, while there are a few CUDA-specific libs missing, you still have more options - Triton, PyTorch, ExLlamaV2, vLLM, etc.

Why should I seek out personal relationships with my coworkers? What relevance does their personal life have on work? What business is it of theirs what I do in my own time? We’re all job hopping to chase salary anyway. Everything in business is ephemeral and shallow. Meaningful relationships happen in the real world, not the office.
Yes, why not? I could imagine calls like these leading to hurting police personals. These personals are not only people (and therefore part of society, that democracy should protect), but they're also part of the law enforcement system, which is kinda crucial for, well, any society. Do we disagree?

> Customers ultimately don't care how much sincerity and effort was infused into a product as long as it's past a certain "good enough" threshold.

This is not universally true. For one thing, it has changed over time as expectations shift. Presumably our expectations have been forced downward by the diminishing quality and increasing costs of consumer goods. There is also cultural variation, with Japan as an example.
Most fraud is just misreporting the results of experiments. You can sometimes detect that by statistical analysis, but not with an LLM. In most cases it's the exact same paper the researchers would have written if they'd actually obtained the results that they claimed.
It's not an open source licence, but to Meta's credit it's also not a licence you have to sell your soul to use. No more than 700 million monthly active users without requesting a licence, and don't use the model for illegal purposes and follow an AUP. It's as good as open source if you're using the models locally. If you're serious about building a commercial product with llama the AUP is almost certainly going to line up with your own terms of service for your product. Compare this with other models that are also billed as 'open source':

yi: previously non-commercial but Apache 2.0 now?

deepseek: usage policy

larger gemma models: usage policy

databricks: similar to llama: no more than 700 million MAUs, usage policy, additional restrictions on using outputs to train other models

qwen: no more than 100 million MAUs

mistral: non-commercial

command-r: CC BY-NC

starling: CC BY-NC

There are a handful of niche models released under MIT/Apache but the norm is licences similar to or more restrictive than the Llama Community Licence, and I really doubt the situation would be better if Meta wasn't first.

>"open-weights" LLMs

I doubt this is the point you're making, but the training data really isn't useful even if it could be released under a permissive licence. Most models use similar datasets: reddit (no licence afaik, copyright belongs to comment authors), stackoverflow (CC BY-SA), wikipedia (CC BY-SA), Project Gutenberg (public domain?), previously books3 (books under copyright by publishers with more money and lawyers than reddit users), etc, with various degrees of filtering to remove harmful data. You can't do much with this much data unless you have millions of dollars worth of compute laying around, and you can't rebuild llama any more than any other company using the same data have 'rebuilt llama' - all models trained in a similar manner on the same data are going to converge in outputs eventually. Compare with Linux distributions, they all use the same packages but you're not going to get the same results.
The impression this article and many other things like it leaves me with is that we are struggling to get language and an abstractions out of our way.

We have to use them to talk about things and work with them, but they all “leak.”
Lengthy migrations doesn't matter. What matters is whether they hold long locks or not. Data migrations might take a while but they won't lock anything. Schema migrations, on the other hand, can easily do so, like if you add a new column with a default value. The whole table must be rewritten and it's locked for the entire time.
"But building the Torment Nexus was really cool!"
For some definition of "mastered" (:

If I recall correctly, the we can't really solve the equations for anything more complex than a helium atom (or is it hydrogen?). That's not to say there isn't useful work we can do, numerical approximations, etc. But things do get astoundingly complex very quickly, even with the "mastered" bits.
At high enough energies the laws of physics are actually different. Two of the four fundamental forces in physics, the electromagnetic force and the weak interaction, are actually a single force which only appears to be two separate forces at "low" energies/temperatures, with low being the pretty much all temperatures in the universe after the Big Bang.

It is completely reasonable to test whether phenomenon that hold at low energies still hold at high energies, and that may be the only way you're going to find more fundamental physical laws. Especially when we know quantum theory is incomplete, since it is currently incompatible with general relativity.
A request for bribes, if you will.
I'm willing to pay 50 cents per year for them to store it. That's already a 10x profit for them. But 10/month is a lot for virtually nothing?

Anyway, I ended up saving my stuff locally, closing my account and just not using their service. I found an alternative solution using a product I already pay for.

Yeah, or you spread the regular retail price over X months with no interest and the carrier takes the manufacturer subsidy.

The real catch is that they typically require you to be on a high end non-BYOD plan, which keeps going up every year. I prefer to buy the device outright and minimize the plan cost.
Video games are an excellent distraction to break up invasive thought patterns, too. There are several methods to use distractions that therapists tailor to their clients.

This is part of why I work in the games industry, grandstanding as it may sound. Games have helped me deal with complex PTSD at a point in my life. It is important to do the other work and not just rely on distraction as forever.

But distractions give you breathing room and some space away from invasive thoughts. The trauma can then begin to heal.
Isnt this something that could be useful for consulting? I’ve occasionally considered trying to help businesses model MILPs to help solve their problems, but its so specialist that finding good matches is like the actual problem. I wonder how specialists like milp experts find clients.
label>input instead of label+input. This is called an implicit label - time was, there were concerns about screen readers that couldn't interpret them.

This is my strategy in bug bashes, and it generates way more tickets than anyone who has a multidimensional Cartesian matrix of test case combinations.

It’s good to know those tests cases to start, but random testing quickly outpaces planned testing when trying to find small issues. Also planned testing is often happy path or expected errors. Sanding like this finds edge bugs much faster.
Kind of impossible to give any advice without knowing what the tool does.

I’m assuming it’s something marketing related if you are targeting marketing people though.

Do you come from a marketing background? As in - is the tool
something that you knew there was a need for, or have you built a product based on consulting/market research/etc.
The family. They'd be far from the first ones to have the actions of their forebears damage their family name.
Because they don't make much on the device payments, as opposed to the bloated plan fees.
No it won't, not unless it's specifically addressed in the law.

The EU (or at least most of it) has banned SIM locks a long time ago, but carrier-branded Android phones are still a thing.

In fact, the situation here is even more pernicious, there have been news reports[1] of carriers being able to remotely lock your phone down if you stop paying the bill, or if you buy it used and the first owner stops paying the bill.

Got it. I am talking about a function, and particularly the expected reward function for a behavior. If some factor has no influence on the score, the function does not depend on that factor. If it does, it does.

Even in your sense of the term, I think I was correct to say that HN "depends so heavily on the upvote". It's a fundamental constituent of how this place works.

But I'd also argue that even in the person I'm replying to later in the chain, it's a reasonable thing to say "describing a reward function that depends on the upvote" with your sense as well. If a person just wants to write, they can write in their journal or type in the reply box and then just close the tab. I do that sometimes here. If they actually click reply, then it's pretty clear their expected value for that involves somebody seeing the text. And the amount of that visibility is strongly determined by the upvote.

Not really, it's so mixed that I wouldnt advise a neurodivergent person to follow them, how would you know which one is good?

I don't think the author is sympathetic to autistic people:

"If you engage in less socially acceptable self-stimulatory behaviors that involve clenched muscles, quick jerky movements, rocking, or vocalizations, strangers will likely be afraid to talk to you, and even people you already know may be embarrassed to be with you in public."

You shouldn't be with people that are embarrassed to be with you, as those behaviors are usually not controllable, this is terrible.

The knife edge we’ve been balancing on since 1945 is now held by weak and trembling hands who have never felt the touch of a blade. If nuclear weapons proliferate further the probability of someone using them because they think they can win with a first strike and limit the scale of a nuclear exchange will grow exponentially. Fill your pockets with salt and hope that if it happens the fallout, both literal and metaphorical, is confined to the region that starts it. Maybe a hundred million funeral pyres and a desert of glass will be a monument large enough that we’ll never forget again.

Ask HN: Who is building the next level hardware to collect more data?
We all know how much data phones collect but who is building the next level some AI hardware/phone to collect all time active camera/mic data with more sensors? I know this sound bit extreme but I believe that is inevitable next level in data collection. So does anyone know any startups in this level of hardware?

Privacy is dead years ago. So all on camera and few more sensor on all the time is the next normal, IMO. Just like how mobile internet is now all the time on and sending the location data, other data every second to cellphone towers and to servers around the world.
Skimp on cooling system. Basically the miners are on open air racks and then there is huge fans that really are not optimised for noise that are run as needed. So yeah in essence you can have something like electric leaf blowers running all the time.
Sort of, but sometimes I feel like TDD approaches the forest by making each tree first one by one.

I really like writing a usage README first, since I don’t have to make anything work along any axis yet but I can play freely with the shape of things, figure out how to make the whole thing consistent, and experiment on what boundaries it makes sense to break components apart so they can be mixed and matched.

This does require a decent amount of engineering experience to both figure out what your consumers really need and also to design something that is actually implementable.
I think there's a useful distinction to be made between "we understand it" and "we can make use of it." Certainly the latter is true, as you describe in your examples. I don't know that it implies the former, though.

I mean heck, even something as mundane as concrete is still the subject of active research as to the chemical reactions and complexities involved.

I guess it's more a spectrum of understanding than a yes/no situation.

For myself, I find it exciting to keep discovering how little we understand, despite our abilities. We seem to be barely a step removed from alchemy, from some points of view.
Indeed those are the "big four" solver businesses in the West, and also probably the most reliably-good solvers. But by the time Gurobi withdrew from the benchmarks (a few weeks ago), COpt was handily beating them in the LP benchmarks, and closing down on them in MIP benchmarks. Solver devs like to accuse each other of gaming benchmarks, but I'm not convinced anyone is outright cheating right now. Plus, all solver companies have poached quite a bit from each other since cplex lost all its devs, which probably equalizes the playing field. So overall, I think Mittelmann benchmarks still provide a good rough estimate of where the SOTA is.
