Because it exceeds the ruleset mutually agreed upon when it comes to the methods.

There was a gentleman named Edward Snowden who worked at a law enforcement agency called the National Security Agency, or the NSA for short. They operate in the United States of America.

The United States of America is a democracy, and has an agreed upon system in which the populace has a say about the rules their society must follow. These are called laws. American people and institutions are expected to follow these laws.

Pc is referencing the leader of a regime called the USSR. The USSR did not practice democracy, and it's agencies did not have to abide by the laws of the USSR.

The reason American law enforcement agencies are being compared to Stalinist (USSR) ones is because the aforementioned gentlemen Edward Snowden proved that, not unlike the USSR, American LEAs do not follow their countries laws either.

If you look around in stores, MAD is doing kind of “best of” issues.

Your assumptions about panic=abort are correct, it will simply terminate the entire process. The single thread and multithreaded behaviors are technically the same. A thread can observe the panic of another, as such, in a single threaded app, which thread would observe the panic in the main thread? There is no other thread to do that.

What you could do is create a single new thread and pretend as though its the main thread, observing any panics on the original main thread.

Edit: your mental model should be to avoid thinking about panics (beyond avoiding them in the first place). Panics are supposed to be extremely rare, and typically something that would be difficult to recover from. They are not exceptions; they are not designed to be caught. The difficulty in dealing with them is a feature that prevents anti patterns. If something panics you have a bug.

My local elementary school gave every kid a chromebook and refused to take it away from my son when he was watching YT videos instead of doing classwork.

Hey, thanks for the response. I'm currently not interested in being listed on a paid site like this, even if the offer is free. I don't think that is what the community needs.

What good is any of this other than driving clicks for your benefit? If I'm going to get any traffic from your site, it is all going to be driven by people just searching or quoting comparisons, not actual sales.

For example, right now, you list another MI300x provider. Right at the top of the page you parrot their bogus claims about 20k GPUs by 2024. They don't have pricing, it is just "contact us". "Based on our records, XXX has at least 2 data center locations around the world"... yet it lists both of them in the US, not "around the world". I could go on and on, but what I know is that I don't want to be associated with something like this.

Sorry for the truth bomb, but if it is taking too much time for you to maintain, you should shut it down or find someone else willing to maintain it properly. Having incomplete and bogus data isn't helpful for anyone.

The question is: For a given problem in machine intelligence, what's the expected time-horizon for a 'good' solution?

Over the last, say, five years, a pile of 50+ year problems have been toppled by the deep learning + data + compute combo. This includes language modeling (divorced from reasoning), image generation, audio generation, audio separation, image segmentation, protein folding, and so on.

(Audio separation is particularly close to my heart; the 'cocktail party problem' has been a challenge in audio processing for 100+ years, and we now have great unsupervised separation algorithms (MixIT), which hardly anyone knows about. That's an indicator of how much great stuff is happening right now.)

So, when we look at some of our known 'big' problems in AI/ML, we ask, 'what's the horizon for figuring this out?' Let's look at reasoning...

We know how to do 'reasoning' with GOFAI, and we've got interesting grafts of LLMs+GOFAI for some specific problems (like the game of Diplomacy, or some of the math olympiad solvers).

"LLMs which can reason" is a problem which has only been open for a year or two tops, and which we're already seeing some interesting progress on. Either there's something special about the problem which will make it take another 50+ years to solve, or there's nothing special about it and people will cook up good and increasingly convenient solutions over the next five years or so. (Perhaps a middle ground is 'it works but takes so much compute that we have to wait for new materials science for chip making to catch up.')

My teenager has a mom who abandoned him to me when he was two, but is more than happy to send him money on any of several apps.

Your view of the world lacks much nuance.
I don't know how to explain it but my teenage kids see right through Mr. Beast and are very skeptical about all other online content. Basically they won't believe anything on the Internet, and they decline to watch anything that has markers of popularity. If it has a lot of views or likes they close the tab. I don't really think that is my influence, it's their generation.
This is what I love about my watch: it plays music on my runs, it has a cellular modem so I can stay in touch with my wife, and it has minimal distractions compared to my iPhone.

That's actually a pretty cool idea! I'm envisioning cubes about 10 cm on a side that can lift perhaps 100 grams to 1 kg, with magnetic latching (maybe solenoids controlling stronger latches) so they can self-organize into larger platforms. They'd use ultracapacitors with roughly a 1 second recharge time.

So they'd constantly travel from the base station to the swarm, picking up energy and depositing it to the others. They'd form a platform that can lift appreciable amounts of weight, maybe even 100 kg (a person), and fly forever.

Right now I think drones like that would cost around $100 each. But if they could be made for $10, then conservatively we could have flying platforms for around $10,000. And unlike batteries, the capacitors would last forever.

Not so much grey goo, more like grey girders. I haven't researched this at all yet, if it already exists.

Iodine deficiency leads to goiter in adults and cretinism (decreased height, lower IQ and in some cases mental retardation) in infants and small children.

Many places can get enough iodine through vegetables, but many places cannot. The small amount of added iodine in iodized table salts are typically not enough to cause any issues but are enough to backfill any nutritional deficiencies.

There's no value in demonizing something you don't understand. Let people eat their salts. There's no harm in unrefined salts, but normal table salts should likely be consumed occasionally by almost everyone.
Well put! I would disagree on two fundamental points, tho:

1. If you honestly think that millions/billions of people are at serious risk of avoidable harm that everyone else is ignoring, "calm down" can be a hard dictum to follow. Sam Altman has won, it's easy for him psychologically to say "well, lets just stick to the status quo and do our best every day and it'll probably work out". Made-in-house bias is strongest when "in-house" is your own mind, after all.

2. Your scare quotes makes it seem like you might agree, but: physics is the study of the physical world, thinking it can be 'solved' is like thinking mathematics, psychology, or anthropology can be 'solved'. It's fundamentally anti-science and very, very dangerous to be talking like that. Truth isn't absolutely relative, but science also isn't a collection of facts written in stone that we need to finish unearthing; it's a collection of intellectual tools.

I have never watched a 'Mr. Beast' video in full but I've caught clips here and there. From the very first time I saw his style of content I knew that it was something I would never let my kids watch willingly. His fake authenticity is sickening, and to be blunt I don't know how he's conned so many people into believing he is a genuinely good person that makes good content.

My kids are still far too young for unsupervised YouTube/TV time and are still firmly in the "Bluey or Ms. Rachel" age, but there's already a hardline Mr. Beast ban in my house. Hopefully by the time they're old enough to want that kind of content Mr. Beast is but a memory and YouTube will have much better content controls in place.

Sadly that seems unlikely - and AI-generated content is not going to help.

Beast and so many other YouTubers that target the very malleable 10-13 years are causing brain rot like we've never seen before.
I can't speak for all countries, but generally speaking in Canada as well as USA, social studies isn't taught in kindergarten to that level.

To be clear: 4 year olds usually can't count high enough to understand that 100 pennies is akin to one dollar. So as far as being concerned about what they're spending their money on, you're a little early for that worry.

I feel like you already know this though. You're no fool Mike, surely you already knew this, so what's your endgame here? Are you looking for confrontation? Or do you have a better idea?
I mostly agree with you but do find it a fair point to suggest making it a straight-up paywall then.

If you have a global market and somebody can produce this cheaper than you it doesn't matter what a local government/union or an owner will mandate. The market will decide that.

The 8-hour work day was possible in the British Empire, because it's an island with a lot of technology making their product at the time the cheapest and highest quality with great productivity per worker. Yes, unions helped with redistributing part of the profits to them with better conditions. That was good back then. Now, no such technological/productivity divide exist.

Look what happened to US steel industry or auto industry. Global competition killed them. All wages are paid from the profit the company makes. If the company can't compete on the market no jobs for anyone. If you own the local power utility and power can't be easily imported/produced, you'd be able to pay higher wages and afford unions.

Now if you build a SAAS business and pay 140K/yr to your programmer and your competitor pays 14K/yr for the same programmer in Bangladesh, who would survive?

The 8-hour work day and even 4-hour work day are possible (as some government bureaucrats know) if you don't compete in the market. If you do, the profit will go to the person doing it for less. So technology is the only way forward.

BTW, that is the way market economies allocate resources much more efficiently than centralized organizations. Brutal, but efficient. And for people this might mean cheap Chinese phones, but no job sadly.

> last time I touched [...] quite a while ago

it didn't exist back then ;=)

> That sounds concerning, can you link it here?

It shouldn't be there anymore the issue was mainly the way it was handled. I had removed the details as it was too long in the past to reliably remember all details. Through it was something along of the lines of: Transactions in case of a panic not getting reset and getting reused if you used the connection pool they reexported (which depending what you do, e.g. if you have row-level security policies, can be very bad). And when that was reported some other issues with the pool where found related to UnwindSafe (1). The pool fixed that issues and if it would have ended there everything would have been fine. The issue is the diesel authors didn't update to the newer version of the pool (which they reexported!) because they didn't like the whey the fix was done due to some resons I don't remember exactly but back then found found pedantic and unreasonable. Furthermore not only did they not adapt the fix (back then I guess they did by now), they also didn't deprecate the pool, didn't replace it with a different one , closed all issues with the vulnerability, didn't document it and criticized everyone opening the issue after having run into it for not "checking closed issues for very much still existing/open security vulnerability". But again that was years ago so whatever things might be much better by now and the developers might very well have learned to properly handle security issues by now.

(1): As a side note IMHO UnwindSafe is one of the worst design mistakes in rust as it uses the term "safe" but has nothing to do with "unsafe" or soundness. Every rust type has to be "safe" i.e. sound in context of crossing unwind boundaries. `UnwindSafe` just indicates if it will "behave reasonable" in such a context. E.g. a non `UnwindSafe` type might panic or outright abort if used after unwinding (but it still has to stay sound!). The reason I'm mentioning it is because back then diesel seemed to have been (as far as I could tell) designed with the mindset that if you don't use panic=abort it's your problem if you have bugs. Again that might very well have changed by now, or at least be well documented by now, but it wasn't back then.
I suspect Linode's cost of operation is simply higher.

I did some CPU and disk benchmarking of VPS'es 10+ years ago and found that vCPU effective performance varies a lot.

Show HN: Autoblocks Annotate – data annotation platform for AI products
Hey HN! I'm Adam, one of the co-founders at Autoblocks AI.

We're excited to share Autoblocks Annotate, a free annotation platform purpose-built for AI products.

We're convinced that the best way to build great AI products is to have humans actually review and annotate the outputs from your AI systems.

Today, the teams that do this are using spreadsheets or other homegrown systems that get complex and messy quickly leading to a poor experience for the reviewers and the folks consuming the results. Our solution allows you to systematize the entire process and enables easy consumption of the results via API.

You can use our TS or Python SDKs to easily upload data for review, assign jobs to others on your team, and download the results to use for fine-tuning or analysis. Our UI supports displaying data as raw text, markdown, html, or can even iframe external links (for example Google Drive links).

Looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts and questions on how this would fit into your workflow!
