maybe make a metric of "count letter $L in work $word" - if you want to game it, you can choose words so that they are all tokenized into 1-2 tokens and each token has multiples of letter $L

And then use something like helloswag to measure how much you've lost on general text completion compared to a vanilla LLM with the same embedding size all dedicated to just the token.

That's not the way to go about it at all.

The EU loves to ransom US tech companies for budget money. It's very clear that this is an opportunity for the US to similarly damage a big EU company by threatening its patents in the US, or otherwise hitting Novo for tens of billions of dollars in ransom money. The US market is by a huge margin the most important drug market in the world, and especially for Novo.

Find an abusive excuse to invalidate their patents if all else fails. Let Europe learn a valuable lesson in trade wars.
Ultimately the main reason it's bad right now is it's expensive. Far beyond the amount needed to recoup research investment and far far far far far far far far far beyond what it takes to synthesize.

Low-end cost of $1000 a month is a lot. That's an expensive car lease, or half a cheap mortgage.
This is very helpful, thank you!

We are doing a fair bit of task-specific fine-tuning for an asymmetric embeddings model (connecting user-entered descriptions of symptoms with the service solutions that resolved their issues).

I would like to run more experiments with this and see if introducing typos into the user-entered descriptions will help it not forget as much.

Thank you again!
Nice. I have something similar with a repurposed Lenovo ThinkSmart View tablet/conference room device, with Home Assistant and its integration to my local transit authority. The advantage is that it's much more out of the box (okay, I did have to flash a custom Android ROM on the Lenovo, but still), it can show whatever I want, and I can also use it to control stuff like my lights or robot vacuum.
2048 is a better game, which is why it's 100x or more popular than Threes.

I'm sure that you, a connoisseur, greatly prefer Threes, which is great. It can be fun to have a taste which is that of a very small minority.

But, to state the nearly tautological, the difference in popularity is because 2048 is better, in the view of the vast majority. It's more fun to play, and that's what makes a game good.

That's possible. I'd be surprised though if enough people were studying and practicing IQ tests to drive this difference. Practice has some benefits but are fairly limited for IQ tests. And I doubt a high enough portion of the population was practicing IQ tests regularly enough to move the needle this much.

Please don't do this. 13 comments on this is too much, and (as is typical) they've gotten progressively more off-topic and flamewarrish.

Military food is a really fascinating logistics problem - how do you feed people, potentially across a long period while engaging in calorically demanding tasks? Foodstuffs need to last as long as possible because supply lines are targeted or have been destroyed. That shipment you received may be one of your last. Cheese, like any food with significant moisture, can ultimately rot.

Much of our modern processes are to somehow extend the life of the foodstuff over long periods. This boomed the overly processed food economy we currently have, but it was first built to simply make sure we had food for the long haul. Curing meats in salt is roughly the same process.

In turns of cheese, powder has less moisture stored in the individual cheese granule but may also be reconstituted with added moisture. Powdered forms are easier to package for individual soldiers to carry for themselves rather than a large, bulkier wheel that needs its own storage and transportation methods.
Oh great video. Thanks for sharing. Surely the tick rate has to be lower on FACEIT as a consequence? Maybe this is why everyone in matchmaking would talk about it.
Terrible article and headline. He doesn't actually say why it makes him depressed. Just says it's a dark hole. Which makes sense if you're a world famous successful person with hundreds of millions of dollars - the internet sort of sucks compared to millions of fans lavishing praise upon you while you sip martinis on your yacht.

He touches on one small part - AI generators making "Tim Burton" style transformations of people/characters/whatever, and feeling down about that. He doesn't really say why. I assume because he feels less special that his trademark style can be generated by computers instantly?

Not trying to be a dick here though maybe I am. He's allowed to feel sad. The AI thing from his perspective makes sense. I'm just annoyed that the BBC thought this was worth an article. This is, at best, a tweet that I don't really have any empathy for.

The conversation should end right here.

They don't know what they are managing, why fixing things is unpredictable, and worst of all - they are communicating AFTER the fact, one month later - which is too late.

The manager needs to be fired for incompetence and incapability. But this is not how tech companies work - leading to all the management hate.

There's no free lunch when it comes to targeting multiple platforms. It sucks to have to maintain separate iOS, android, and web apps, and it also sucks to use a cross platform framework.

But I still feel in the end that for many CRUD style apps it's worth it to deal with react native's problems, especially if you can also have significant code sharing with your web app.

If you're trying to build the next snapchat or tiktok you'd better go full native though.

I’ve been to many many different tracks, and none had a noise or pollution restriction. My race cars exhaust dumps straight out of the hood and has 0 pollution control. It’s loud. Until I was running sub-11 second quarters, I never had to produce anything safety related.

But as others have pointed out to me, it seems these may be more of a counter-culture/party type thing than a purely car thing. I was looking at it from the wrong perspective.

We carry these phones around with us at all times of the day. It's almost akin to carrying a pill on you at all times with instant effects. Is the average person's psychology and will strong enough to resist this? What if they heavily used social media from 12-18 years old? What if they were an iPad kid? To basically run this Social Media Experiment on an entire generation might not be so wise but I guess we'll see. Hopefully we don't get an MBA study in 10 years finding that anyone born 2005-2015 is 20% less productive. Maybe AI will just fill that gap though haha so we might get bailed out if this would be the case.

I know that a significant amount of high schoolers "go to bed" at 11pm, then scroll until they pass out at 2am. Maybe we can have a law that makes social media companies restrict their own app usage after 12am in their local time. Is someone going to argue they want themselves or their kid to have the ability to sacrifice the next day (and their growth/health) for some late night scrolling?

Or perhaps a law that forces operating systems to restrict all social media consumption after a certain period. Limiting everyone (or just minors) to only a few hours of content consuming dopamine a day. Overall happiness and GDP might just go up haha and does anyone spend 4 hours scrolling and say that was time well spent?

Experiencing life and using/growing your brain is literally the opposite of using social media. Would Einstein have overcome social media to still do everything he did? Maybe he would have used it to his advantage.

There's also the problem of group think and conformity that really is a dangerous thing with social media comments paired with a society score (upvote count). That's another discussion altogether and very interesting to think about any effects from that. I like to remind myself that in 50 years it's this generation that will be running the world.
I’m pretty sure the first wall hack I heard of was on the Quake engine so that must be something they fixed later on?

My education has equipped me quite adequately to fend off such critiques, and frankly I think it's a misuse of terminology to claim that studies "prove" anything, because the nature of empirical evidence even under the most generous assumptions is that a body of evidence can support or contradict conclusions, but "proof" as a concept comes from logical modes of inference, which only work within contexts where the conclusions drawn pertain to assumptions that are defined in a stricter sense than any of these fuzzy real-world questions permit
>> keeps maintaining that there’s no data point to think that the state of discussions are declining.

I would simply say a lot of contrarian viewpoints, regardless of merit, are downvoted into oblivion. Once you get hammered on something you simply had a different viewpoint on? Users tend to stop commenting for fear of reprisals. Your "karma" on here is not easy to obtain so when people downvote you simply for a differing opinion, it makes it less likely they will wade into a discussion again and find themselves on the wrong side of some Hacker News diva having a bad day.

This means you have a lot of people (like myself) simply opting out of a lot of discussions because if you're not on the right side, your comment will get downvoted immediately. There is no data point on people like myself, so there's no way to tell people that the quality on HN is declining, everything is just fine and normal when in reality, you have a lot of users who aren't engaging for fear of getting downvoted into oblivion.
A simple demonstration of why this is necessary is to consider the distance between the points 1 and i on the complex plane. If you naively compute the distance between them using the familiar Euclidean formula √(a²+b²) you get:

√(1²+i²) = √(1-1) = 0

That can't be right...

I'm a Flutter dev since 2018 and I am honestly not sure if Flutter or React Native still make sense in 2024 and onwards.

When they emerged, the mobile development scene was completely different than today.

Today, we have Swift UI and Compose, both are pretty solid. I'm not sure if it's the consensus amongst mobile developers, but I believe that on the mid/long run you will be better off - even if you write things twice. In terms of end user experience, developer experience, and in the business sense, everywhere.

Sure if you have an Flutter / RN app that has years of engineering efforts invested into it, go ahead and continue (duh), but I wouldn't start new apps with them.
And this is why we have daylight savings time...
Hence why Rustler is of so much interest since it provides more protections against this happening.

How long has Ozempic been around? I've never heard of it until very recently (maybe the last month or two) and suddenly I'm seeing it all the time. Maybe this is an instance of Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, but it doesn't feel like it.
I'm not familiar with UI development at all, but I'm kind of amazed that the old solution of a giant async bridge where the renderer enqueued native function calls worked at all. What was the initial reasoning behind this architecture? (that is to say, why did it seem like a good idea at the time?)
It also makes me sad that someone is earnestly and honestly trying to hack through these weeds, when someone with the gift of the gab will sit in that performance review, jazz hands their way through it, and go for a barbecue at the manager’s house that weekend, while having done precisely 22 minutes of arguable work in the last quarter.

I mean, I know. I’ve been that asshole. Useful to still have a paycheck while you’re getting a startup off the ground. I got so much practice at “the dog ate my homework but here’s a fresh coffee” as a kid it was ridiculous.

I for one appreciate the name Computer Use, no flashy marketing name, just describes what is she's. LLM using a computer.
RAG doesn’t necessarily give the best results. Essentially it is a technically elegant way to semantic context to the prompt (for many use cases it is over-engineered). I used to offer RAG SQL query generations on SQLAI.ai and while I might introduce it again, for most use cases it was overkill and even made working with the SQL generator unpredictable.

Instead I implemented low tech “RAG” or “data source rules”. It’s a list of general rules you can attach to a particular data source (ie database). Rules are included in the generations and work great. Examples are “Wrap tables and columns in quotes” or “Limit results to 100”. It’s simple and effective - I can execute the generate SQL again my DB for insights.

I agree with your sentiment, but frankly human nature just doesn’t work that way. We don’t have self control. We weren’t evolved for a world of abundance. This is no one’s fault, and it’s everywhere, china is getting fatter than most countries now.

Realistically, ozempic is a miracle and it seems to be a solution to numerous issues of our world.

I have never had cable activated without a technician coming. I live in a more rural area, but I've also heard other people discuss "the cable guy is scheduled to arrive sometime between 8AM and 4PM."

Ozempic has been around about 10 years used mostly for diabetes, but it's use for weight loss management has exploded with the release similar drugs using the same core principles such as Wegovy and Mounjaro.
