Trump is their tool to get into power. Trumps first presidency was unexpected, he didn't have a real plan to do anything. He was doing it for himself, his cabinet was filled with people there for similar self gain reasons. They were inept and mostly unable to do anything.

The second time around they have a plan, project 2025. It's not trump's plan but they'll do it in his name anyway, if not they can always 25th amendment him and have Vance instead. The authors and their acolytes will all be in his cabinet. They have the presidency, the house, senate, supreme court and already have many federalist society judges in place.

Will they be able to do everything in the plan? Probably not. Is it likely that they'll do great damage to the federal government and hurt many people? Yes, they're set up to do so already. Will states be able to resist? Maybe, the right is all for states rights but they're also hypocrites so I have my doubts.

I wonder how India delivers mail if there are no street names.
Mostly because certain apps refuse to adopt Android APIs, or insist NDK is a full blown GNU/Linux userspace, contrary to Android team official position on the matter.
I guess it would be nice if they added that then :)
I recruit senior Java developers. The are so many parallels.

They don’t read instructions. Instructions say clearly not to use ai for the written screen.

They copy and paste blindly. The trick is that there are some instructions written in 0-sizes font that people don’t see in the assignment description. The copied-and-pasted version has them but no one rereads the prompt.

Also the AI gives a substandard answer, but that’s besides the point.
Who has the army in that scenario? Yarvinism sounds like Thatcherism/Ayn Rand dressed up in Silicon Valley mysticism and lore.

It is a pity that Vance stoops so low instead of citing proper sources.

But that is what you get if Democrats run a corporate fascist/elitist regime for four years that is dressed up in empty equity rhetoric and does not tolerate any opposing opinions.
Google forces upgrades on people much more aggressively than Apple does though. None of their platforms let users opt out of upgrades except Android, which is also notorious for slow patching cycles (at least historically).

How expensive is it to run these in the cloud? Last time I looked into this it looked like you have to pay significantly in server costs to be able to run a local LLM.
Said on a VC forum?
I mean, it's always seemed pretty academic to me, due to the founders.
Earlier this year there was a paper from Microsoft where they trained a 1.58 bit (every parameter being ternary) LLM that matched the performance of 16 bit models. There's also other research that you can prune up to 50% of layers with minimal loss of performance. Our current training methods are just incredibly crude and we will probably look back on those in the future and wonder how this ever worked at all.
Not sure it can be proven with citations but it's well known that process injection is widely used on Windows. GPU drivers are known to do it. Utilities have historically often injected code into Explorer. Raymond Chen has written in the past about this problem and how hard it made it to evolve the platform.

when asked the reason, ChatGPT had this to say- "Actually, the choice of “Elara” wasn’t a result of training on specific copyrighted stories or any prompt to avoid copyright claims. OpenAI models like me are designed to create original content without directly referencing copyrighted characters, and "Elara" is simply a popular-sounding name in many storytelling contexts. I just used it consistently for its versatility, but I’m totally open to switching things up!"

>crowdsourced title is "Solving 2D Geometry Puzzles Using 3D Reasoning".

That attempted revision of the title is worse than the original clickbait title because it totally omits the "4D" topic. The 4D section starts around 18m50s and is 1/3rd of the content. The 2D/3D section was the prelude and motivation to prepare the viewer for the 4D section.

The "wisdom of the crowd" failed in this particular case.

Any attempted improvement on the title still needs to have "4D" somewhere in the title.

I wonder if this is the same as the Mac laptops and Mac Studio, where it is upgradable but you must get one from a matching manufacturer (and Macs from different factories could have one of about four different manufacturers SSDs).

In that case they needed the matching chips, but now there are adapters.

That depends on how you live your life. Most of the people who are making even the top 1% of the salaries in the US are probably not set for life. They could be if they quit immediately and moved to Vietnam maybe, but otherwise their cash is probably locked up in a house or spent on things like their car or school for their kids.

Harris wasn't the most natural candidate perhaps and couldn't compare to a past president (and Apprentice show media celebrity) in terms of familiarity to voters, but what alternative candidate would you propose in her place?

Honestly, yes the defeat in retrospect was to be expected (to everyone but the pollsters maybe?) but Harris was no lightweight and it was reasonable to expect she could compete with a damaged (hey, the U.S. now has a felon president!) opponent who she defeated at the first & only debate. Had the election been held in August she'd probably have won, but give those trans-phobic tv ads time to sink in and male latinos would rather vote for the felon-man who had the presidential experience, and find a way to make his eggs a bit cheaper, along with the rest of inflation. Supposedly.

Harris was up against a lot of negativity and she wasn't well defined enough to find defense against it all. Trump, on the other hand, actively provided a defense against all the cases against him -- since fighting is all he has really. Even if he was losing and the defenses flawed -- even convicts in prison find women to wed them. Those prison brides share much of what we see in (some of the less practical) Trump voters.
I did some of the Advent of Code in Algol 68 a few years back: https://github.com/addrummond/aoc_2021_algol68

It was a surprisingly pleasant language to work with considering its age. The main annoyances were:

* Extensible arrays were fiddly to work with (which is understandable given that allocating arrays of arbitrary size barely makes sense on a 1968 computer).

* Formatted IO is weird. I never really understood how it worked and just tweaked examples till I got what I needed.

* No hashtables in the stdlib.

* Available implementations on modern hardware are not production quality.
The problem with the opposite is, since everything gets invisibly bubbled up to the top, you are not able to tell what errors do need to be handled. You only find those out from runtime failures and that's no good if you care about reliability.
I would be honestly interested to learn about one or two unbiased news outlets, because I don't know any, tech news or otherwise. What is usually meant by "unbiased" is "biased in the same way as I am".
What's a good way to convert the output of something like this into an html page?

The new collaboration builds on Anthropic's earlier integration of Claude into AWS GovCloud, a service built for government cloud computing.

Why does the government need cloud services? Why does it need IT anyway? In the 1990s everything was paper and the services actually worked. Now things are in "the cloud". In the EU you get new digital identity schemes every year and it takes three months to register a new address (used to take one day in the paper days).

The next step is that AWS will scan S3 data used to train this surveillance model.
Just want to say, I recognised your name immediately when I saw it. Saw a talk you gave at the Institute of Education in Bloomsbury back in 2010 when I was a teenager and it is still, to this day, one of the best popular mathematics talks I've ever witnessed (obviously helped by the immense juggling talent).

I've gone on to do a PhD in Physics and write lots of popular science for some big YouTube channels (SciShow, Veritasium) and among some of the more long term influences on my career I definitely count your talk as one of them!
Those who have the ability to take such a path often have other paths available to them that they can take with more risk–because the low risk path is always available to them as a fallback.

Doesn't seem to be true per se, but definitely has that LLM low temperature trend of producing stories that seem to follow a pretty common pattern. Not once did I get a story about aliens, post-apocalypse, civilizations under the surface of Mars or about how the Moon is made of cheese. Depends on what the model is trained for and how all of the samplers and whatnot are set up.

Edit: now here's something more interesting when you crank up the temperature on your typical Llama 3 based model:

Why don't people ride zebras to the 2056 Winter Olympics? They were declared a domestic species in 2172 by The United Galactic Federation who thought riding was inhumane for a zebra. This event brought tremendous scrutiny from the galactic community as riding unpopular species was becoming increasingly commonplace in several neighborhoods and high schools on alien planets.

I love how it makes no sense, but it should be obvious why ChatGPT spewing out stuff like that wouldn't be super useful, especially for regular conversations and questions.
This is a good example, I think, of why a future in which all homework is obsolete because of AI is actually not likely.

If a lecturer at university sets a task for 100 students (say, write an essay about the factors that led to the first world war), there will be clear and glaring similarities between the way that points are made and explained if many students use chatgpt. Yes a student might rewrite or paraphrase chatgpt, but low effort copy and paste is going to be very obvious because chatgpt's model cannot produce an entirely unique approach to the task every time it is asked.

I know there are weights and parameters that can be adjusted, so there is some variety available, but I think better to think of the LLM as an additional (all-knowing) person you can consult. If everyone consults that same person for an answer to that assignment it's trivial to detect.
Well it matters in the guidelines for posting. And it also seems to have mattered in terms of engagement in this case, as the repost with the original [much stronger, much less ambiuous] title has garnered more interest.

The direct application of looking for primes is that's an interesting computer science research project (perf, networking, big data) with a clear practical use, besides obviously being a pure research field which is valuable in itself. There are 800+ results in google scholar for the project (https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=GIMPS&hl=en&as_sdt=0,5&...)

Vocalizing primes? Maybe it could be used in speech synthesis although I'm not sure that the terms allow it or that the participants would be happy with their voice becoming AI...

The exact same thing can be said about "folio bias", or "bcachefs bias", or "git bias", or "RCU bias", or anything else that's really important for the development of the Linux kernel. I don't have strong opinions about Rust (either for or against it), and, having read the site since about 2016, don't see anything out of the ordinary. Its primary target audience always were Linux kernel developers, and Rust is becoming increasingly important for them whether they like it or not. Would ignoring its integration into the kernel be an example of "unbiased reporting"?

I think the next best thing is BC4. The compressed format stores 8 bits/pixels grayscale texture compressed into 8 bytes / 4x4 pixels i.e. 4 bits/pixel, twice smaller compared to R8.

Things are what they are, not what someone (yes, even their creator) says they are.

Unless you take a good look at the language itself, you will remain ignorant.
I would expect the answer to mostly lie with what decides what "legal" is. If you view the current policies to be unreasonable, then immigration in defiance of those policies is defensible. Such arguments are usually coupled with gestures towards how we already rely on such immigration for our economy.
Good quality and easy-to-use open TTS models are hard to find. SpeechT5 while a bit old was relatively easy to clone voices with using the Transformers library.

I've also found a couple of the ESPNet TTS models are decent. I've exported those models to ONNX to make them easier to use.

For what it's worth, here is a list of models that cover what I've worked on in the "Open models" TTS space.

Ask HN: Free resources to practice Product Management outside of work?
I’m working at a dead end job with no paths to shift to a product management roles. It’s also a tough market for jobs and I’m looking to develop PM skills for the future.

Because it's largely impossible to do it legally, with wait times sometimes being measured in decades.

The only difference between a legal and an illegal migrant is paperwork. If the paperwork route was a viable alternative, nobody would risk their lives crossing a river or a giant desert to do it illegally.
This is going to spin out but Rust is not a fit for kernel development. It is a language fueled by what feels like a perpetual hype cycle. To say that there is nothing out of the ordinary means you haven't compared the site before and after. Out of all the languages and actual things for kernel developers to become increasingly concerned with, Rust is not one of them. To ignore this practicality and suggest that having the Rust agenda carried forward is incorrect. The current experimentation with Rust will end and what will you say when that happens? Many already falsely claim the kernel ships with Rust when it does not. How does that not indicate that a bias is leading to the spread of misinformation? Why is this okay for Rust but maybe not in other areas? Would you feel the same if it were AI articles instead?
If you take a sample of the application you might be able to figure out what it's doing.

> And at most startups, there's nowhere to be promoted to when you're a double-digit hire.

This is something I'd assumed every engineer-type person faces sooner or later. Unless you're in a massive corp with hundreds of engineers, there's only maybe two or three tiers of engineering roles. That's two promotions, ever, unless you want to be promoted out of engineering and into management. So if you want to stay technical, instead of chasing higher status job titles, you have to chase higher status projects.
It is hard as a customer as well if you are aware about it. You just want to do something light hearted to break the ice, but the other side has seen everything, so should you just shut up, which sounds a bit depressing. And sometimes you get a flash of what you think might be witty, but obviously the other side has had those interactions 1000s of times and what are the odds of coming up with something exactly original and funny enough.

Assuming this statement was made in good faith, there are many depending on the area of focus. For general tech, there's CNET, The Verge, TechCrunch, Ars Technica, Tom's Hardware, etc. For Linux, there's Phoronix, Linuxiac, Linux Journal, DistroWatch, etc.

What I mean by "unbiased" is neutral coverage on actual news, meaning just the facts. If you pay attention to the coverage at LWN, there is an inherent Rust bias that dominates regular news. Just try to go more than a few days without new articles being published with a pro-Rust stance. Actual data with stories and coverage over the years would illuminate this easily.

It's not a network feature - the auto restart of the phone, it's not doing so bc of handshake signal, but rather the lack of one. This is incredibly similar "tech/apple innovation" that is very similar to timed DRM media services.

If you download all your songs from Napster - they will work for a month or two without connecting to a network but eventually the lack of a connection will lock the content, it doesn't kno if your still paying, so it makes you sign in.

This is the same but all behind the scenes. Apple phones are constantly communicating with their network or other devices - if that stops, something fishy is going on bc it's not supposed to be able to.

The restart is prolly more for them - that's probably the solution to most of the issues with a phone losing network connection, just restart it. So they built it in.

Sure it does what phones have done forever and makes you sign in with password or full biometrics once at startup buts that's not new either.
