I've got bad news for you – that term was used in deep learning research well before LLMs came on the scene. It has nothing to do with pundits trying to popularize anything or trying to justify LLMs' shortcomings, it was just a label researchers gave to a phenomenon they were trying to study.

A couple papers that use it in this way prior to LLMs:

- 2021: The Curious Case of Hallucinations in Neural Machine Translation (https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.06683)

- 2019: Identifying Fluently Inadequate Output in Neural and Statistical Machine Translation (https://aclanthology.org/W19-6623/)
Show HN: Put this touch sensor on a robot and learn super precise tasks
We just released a very excited touch sensor that finally simplifies touch sensing for robotics.

Our most exciting result: Learned visuotactile policies for precise tasks like inserting USBs and credit card swiping, that work out-of-the-box when you replace skins! To the best of our knowledge, this has never been shown before with any existing tactile sensor.

Why is this important? For the first time, you could now collect data and train models on one sensor and expect them to generalize to new copies of the sensor -- opening the door to the kind of large foundation models that have revolutionized vision and language reasoning.

Would love to hear the community's questions, thoughts and comments!

> you need to plan for the absolute worst case, once in a century, scenario and size your batteries accordingly.

For a once-in-a-century situation, you can have alternatives other than batteries. For instance, backup diesel generators; any extra CO2 emitted by them in that situation would be insignificant when spread over a hundred years. And once you're planning for once-in-a-century events, you need backup generators anyway, since you can have failures other than just cloudy windless weather.

I can think of at least two infections that are probably widespread and underreported in the US. Plus, in recent years, there's a quiet little Hepatitis A epidemic in the US that the CDC is actively downplaying.

I'm aware of the hep A thing because it probably started in the homeless population in San Diego County, California. I happened to be homeless and running a blog called The San Diego Homeless Survival Guide, though I had been out of San Diego County for over two years.

I was contacted by some online rag and interviewed via email while on route to bring off the street. They misgendered me and made up a quote while cloth.

But it made me aware of the issue. So I then watched over coming months as reports of it spread further north to Los Angeles etc and eventually across the nation.

I blogged about it a few times but one dirt poor female blogger with no traction is not well positioned to essentially shout down a health crisis cover up by the US government.

Then Covid hit and people had bigger fish to fry.

I probably still have one blog post up somewhere about the quiet little Hepatitis A epidemic but I know I posted about it more than once and then redacted it more than once. I have a long history of doing that while trying to figure out this blogging thing. I do that less these days.

I have done consulting in another field.

Start with a client. Send an invoice. Cash the check. Then you have started a business. Everything else doesn’t matter (notice I didn’t mention doing any work, making a website, designing business cards, etc).

Your social and business networks are the key to success. You can hire technical skill. Your job is sales. Good luck.
Transformers run well on GPU's or other hardware accelerators. This benchmark doesn't allow GPU's.

That makes it more of a "can I use unsuitable hardware to get the job done fast and accurately enough" challenge, rather than a pure math puzzle of how to encode data with fewer bytes.

I suspect that's why there is only 1 Transformer entry, and to me raises the question whether the rules should be updated to allow GPU's now they are fairly commonplace.
I realize this isn't the HN popular opinion, but nuclear power will be great once:

1. People are educated about true risk AND forget about Fukushima, Three Mile Island, and Chernobyl. Or the need to have iodine pills if you live near one. ("If it's so safe, why do I need the iodine pills?")

2. Bad actors face actual prison time, not just corporate fines. Meanwhile, today, the bad actors still get bonuses.

3. We grow a lot of crops in the desert in the US. We need a lot of water to do that. There's gigawatts of solar potential there. And the cost of one reactor is $35B US for 1GW. For solar/wind you could have 10GW for around $10B US and then there's $25B US for batteries.

For sure, I think the issue is – at what point in an engineer's development is that fact hammered home? For me it was hanging out with friends and learning fundamentals together, and then even more reinforced in the security course I took in college. For others, they might skip that elective in school (or their bootcamp will gloss over it), and they learn it the hard way later on the job?

That said, ideally code review/peer review/design review would catch things like this. If this was a feature implemented by an engineer that wouldn't know any better, they should have at least some help from others around them.
If a customer noticed and called a cook out for intentionally dropping their food on the floor and serving it to them i think that would be the death of the restaurant. Or at least cause the local health department to get very interested. What most likely happens is the customer doesn't even realize. If that's the case, then from the customer's perspective it didn't even happen so what's the point of doing it in the first place? You got revenge on no one.

NumPy has a mechanism to dispatch execution to CuPy: https://numpy.org/neps/nep-0018-array-function-protocol.html

Just prepare the input on NumPy or CuPy, and then you can just feed it to NumPy APIs. NumPy functions will handle itself if the input is NumPy ndarray, or dispatch the execution to CuPy if the input is CuPy ndarray.
Austin I think some of these distinctions are not necessary for the theory.

One study looked at patients with obesity or overweight without diabetes who stopped taking tirzepatide 10 mg or 15 mg after taking it for 36 weeks. Patients who stopped taking tirzepatide experienced a 14% weight regain after 1 year.

However, there are not enough studies to draw scientific conclusions, but all evidence points to what I said.

As does the discussion in places like reddit by people doing it. If they change their habits, they don't gain weight back. If they only change them somewhat, it just happens more slowly.
The problem here is the payments industry (continuing to issue and accept "credit card numbers") and the voters (refusing to authorize a proper national ID). An individual entity that has to conduct business under these circumstances has no real alternative.

I'm not saying we can avoid updating routers/hosts/DNS/etc, but it's only one piece of the migration puzzle. Otherwise we'd be done already. I elaborated when responding to a similar question: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41603782
But you make the choices that affect these numbers. You choose whether you use power management; you choose whether you have higher priority interrupts, etc.

> that they couldn't get better than 10μs,

There are multiple things discussed here. In this subthread, we're talking about what happens on amd64 with no real operating system, a high priority interrupt, power management disabled and interrupts left enabled. You can design to consistently get 100ns with these constraints. You can also pay a few hundred nanoseconds more of taxes with slightly different constraints. This is the "apples and apples" comparison with an AVR microcontroller handling an interrupt.

Whereas with rt-preempt, we're generally talking about the interrupt firing, a task getting queued, and then run, in a contended environment. If you do not have poorly behaving drivers enabled, the latency can be a few microseconds and the jitter can be a microsecond or a bit less.

That is, we were talking about interrupt latency (absolute time) under various assumptions; osamagirl69 was talking about task jitter (variance in time) under different assumptions.

You can, of course, combine these techniques; you can do stuff in top-half interrupt handlers in Linux, and if you keep the system "warm" you can service those quite fast. But you lose abstraction benefits and you make everything else on the system more latent.
This is as absurd as it sounds reading the filing. SpaceX just decided to use the property and bulldoze the place.
Inside the home you can usually get away just using the internal link local addresses. E.g. my main PC is fe80::10, my wife's pc is fe80::11, my router is fe80::. You can even use that when you get "fancy" e.g. my NAS is fe80::12 internally or ${public_prefix}::12 "externally" (that one actually works on either side).

This address will also run afoul with the "privacy first" randomizations on most devices by default. This addition is truly the scourge of letting IPv6 seem dead simple to use.
Apparently there's ways of getting the first few binary digits, but it's useless at that length.

It was released. It was on a growing number of webpages and an important part of the Dev Tools of IE9+ (also giving them a massive install base from before Atom existed). If Atom didn't build Electron what became the VS Code team might have built something similar on their own eventually (though it probably would have been IE-based and Windows-only in that alternate history). It truly seemed convergent evolution at work.
I think that is addressed in the post. Apparently the URL was only sent under certain conditions and has since been addressed:

We don’t log these requests anywhere, and if you didn’t have the Boosts editor open these requests were not made. Regardless this is against our privacy policy and should have never been in the product to begin with.

Given the context (boosts need to know the URL they apply to after all) this indeed was a "deliberate design choice" but not in the manner you appear to be suggesting. It's still very worrisome, I agree.

> I still have fond memories of their legendary (pre-leetcode) coding challenges [0] posted on the T

Those ITA puzzle ads on the T (Boston MBTA subway) got my interest. They were so much better for introvert thinkers, than getting ambushed in a Google interview context, and there was also no interference from a bad-loop interviewer.

> they also hosted the Boston Lisp users group in the early 2000s

IIRC, those meetings were organized by Faré Rideau. Volunteering meeting space was maybe ITA (then Google) and Northeastern University?

(I made the small contribution of building the the Boston Lisp announcements email list, by promising a lot of people, wary of social media, that it would be announcements-only. This included famous people, who I'd read about as a kid, such as in the Steven Levy book, or knew only from their names on books and standards documents.)

Yes, like most MMOs the game client can be downloaded for free so you can play on multiple devices. It's the account that you pay for. Unlike conventional MMOs it's a one-time fee and not a monthly subscription.

> you wrote it using a stack that could be web-based

Not really because of the memory usage. This has nothing to do with the stack but the file size of the 3D assets used, which directly translates to memory used at run-time. As a desktop app you can fully take advantage of your gaming PC's available RAM and VRAM.

> Asking people to download and run an .exe

Understandable. Because of this, and that the download size is so large I should probably use a downloader/installer so it doesn't feel like just downloading an exe. Thanks for your feedback!

There is no empirical evidence that the laws you're talking about benefit society. Take anti-money laundering laws for example, which have demonstrated no evidence of policy effectiveness:

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/25741292.2020.1...

For a more personal look, see how it affects people born in the "wrong country":

https://www.reddit.com/r/MakerDAO/s/XYh1ajhP0P

The actual laws that are needed, are those against victimful acts, like fraud, and you don't need the kind of freedom-reducing regulatory restrictions that have become so numerous in recent decades to have anti-fraud laws.

Effective enforcement of anti-fraud laws alone would be sufficient to stop the bulk of the scams in the crypto space, and there is nothing inherent to crypto that prevents legal authorities from pursuing those who perpetrate fraud and bringing them to justice.

On the plus side, free market competition has fostered innovation and discipline in the crypto space. We've gone from bug-prone smart contracts like the DAO eight years ago to highly secure bluechip DeFi applications like Aave, Uniswap, Compound and MakerDAO surviving completely unscathed in the last crypto crash.

Scams still abound unfortunately, and I believe that will only subside once people at large understand that crypto is more like cash than like a bank account, in that there is no social consensus system that can reverse fraudulent transactions in crypto like there is in banking. This is the flip side of being able to control your own funds, and transfer them without censorship.

Once people do broadly come to realize this aspect of crypto, I believe they will be far more cautious in how they choose to handle it.
The Three Mile Island incident happened in one reactor at this plant in 1979, but the plant kept operating its other reactors without any further incidents until they shut down in 2019 due to economic pressures (primarily the low price of natural gas).

I often wonder how much this can be attributed to the pretty awful SEO of most documentation. I write mostly Python at work and it's infuriating how often GeeksForGeeks, W3Schools, Programiz, or RealPython pop up when I'm just trying to reference like, the arg order of a builtin, or the particular behavior. Django is worse, I often feel like I can't even find the doc when I know it's there and read it before.
The issue with this paradigm (see also: Hutter Prize) was its insistence on lossless compression.

Intelligence is just as much about knowing what to throw away as what to keep. Any nontrivial cognitive system operating in a nontrivial physical environment will necessarily have a lossy model of the world it's embedded in.

Great work! That said if we are focusing on the UX, windy.com has got the best weather reporting experience.

Ex: I am almost never interested in "30% chance of shower at 08:00pm" type of forecast. I am more interested in the trend in which the clouds/rains are moving. This helps me figure out which direction I can drive to get the best sunshine or whatever else.

Is there anyone else who is doing it the way windy.com is doing? I really love them, and so far their experience is great (almost no dark UX patterns), that said I would love to see some more competition in this space.
