You gotta go "store and forward" to have a chance.

- Make your static data small.

- Pick a version scheme and use it.

- Gather your static data into a release, including an indicator of the version, and sign it.

- Also gather your static data into a form easily transmittable by others. If your static data will fit into a few pages of PDFs, it can be read by just about anything with a CPU that real people touch, and can also be printable. There are many tools that create PDFs that aren't Adobe.

- HTML archives, such as those that SingleFile make, are better than PDFs but less accessible (e.g. not viewable on phones, require extension to be installed).

- License the content in a way that encourages sharing.

- Make sure the content itself encourages sharing. Good, unique artwork tends to do this, in addition to the data itself being interesting or important. Comics from the 1940s made it to the Internet age and they'll probably make the post-Internet age too.

- Discord, Telegram, and Github would be an example of three places that would understand the concept of "here's a PDF of a site, here for archival purposes, feel free to share this to anyone or print it."
> Today these oils, particularly soybean and canola, are the second highest source of calories in the average American diet, and the single highest source of fats

Isn't canola oil one of the oils with the fewest saturated fatty acids, typically 7-8g per 100g?

Olive oil has ~twice as much, sunflower oil as well. Palm oil has ~7x more. And coconut oil ~10x more.

Calories-wise, all these oils are pretty much the same, typically in the range of ~800kcal per 100ml. So, I am not sure I understand the arguments against it.

Canola oil is pretty much the best bet if you want to reduce your fatty acids intake.
I agree that the audio->score and MIDI->score problems are quite hard. There has been research in this area too, however it is far less developed than audio->MIDI.

Which he explicitly says it can be done. It simply should not be the main focus, which is what edutainment is.
The Baku oil fields were capitalized by the Rothschild banking dynasty, which was already immensely wealthy before the oil age. Perhaps others will weigh in, but as I recall this was in response to the fabulous wealth Rockefeller was realizing in the United States. Petroleum had always been present around Baku and elsewhere, but it hadn't been exploited on the same industrial scale. It was sometimes regarded as an inconvenience which devalued land.

> It's a good reason to have both.

I’ve never been to a store that only had self checkout, I think the equilibrium is one bank of self checkout + a bunch of normal registers.

> 2 out of 4 machines are, at any given moment, locked and waiting for a supervisor
> where a dedicated supervisor would ensure problems get resolved quickly

Sounds like an implementation issue.

The grocery store I typically use has one bank of 6 self checkout machines with a dedicated attendant who seems to be able to resolve any issues. It’s common for 1 or 2 of the machines be down though. They also have 4 to 14 normal checkout lines open depending on how busy the store is.

I rarely use self check but it seems like a good tradeoff vs a 5th line being open when things aren’t that busy.

The "you're not a vehicle" stuff is pretty amusing considering that bikes are, actually, legally classified as vehicles in the US and you can get ticketed while riding one. (I have also been yelled at for the same reason.)
Have thought about this a bit. I think there's a "business model" where a non-profit foundation charges a very high price (say $50 or $100/gig) and the interest on that pays for the hosting and admin. One issue is startup risk, if you don't get enough people wanting to store data "forever" it won't be sustainable.

The foundation has a remit to also do some related "good works". The idea is that the pot of money (and the interest it throws off) acts as an incentive to keep the foundation going. Eventually the cost of hosting "legacy" data should drop close to zero. You could run it as an overlay on two clouds initially to avoid capital outlay.

I think you would want librarians / archivists on the board. It wouldn't require much in the way of software, making something that could last in the long term is more of a governance problem than a technical one.

Google in 2024 feels like IBM in 1974. The brand will surely exist fifty years from now, but possibly much diminished. I wouldn’t count on any specific product surviving the “legacification” of Google.

I usually state: for use opportunity, you must run business.

Well, must admit, this is not only way, but most effective.

Also possible to use opportunity in educational environment or at community or in government organization. But from organizational science, all of these are just special type of business - educational business, or business owned by community , or business owned by government.

And yes, many people are practically running business, but don't think it is business. And this is very serious problem for economy, because they use this opinion "not a business" as consideration to avoid vital business transactions, and thus killing opportunities.
It’s funny, I feel quite the opposite. Using windows is a form of asceticism, and Linux is the easy way. Everything just works under Linux, but under Windows, things go wrong for no apparent reason, the system installs updates and reboots without me telling it to, there is massive network traffic that I didn’t initiate, none of my tools work properly, there are ads on the start menu, and software I know I installed is nowhere to be found. Talk about mortification of the flesh! Nothing humbles you like being subject to Windows.
They've been forwarding PII to what Mullenweg has legally established to be his private, personal website. It doesn't forward it to a WordPress site of any kind. In other words, WordPress is leaking PII directly to Mullenweg.

It's all okay if it doesn't get misused and you trust Mullenweg, but he himself has shown he can't be trusted.. so this will all bite him in the ass.

Yes, I know, but I do think the theory is eventually, it would be cheapest and capable for permanent storage, well, storage is cheap already, the matter is more that the host is reliable enough, so it has to be decentralized.
Multi-track transcription has a long way to go before it seriously useful for real-world applications. Ultimately I think that converting audio into MIDI makes a lot more sense for piano/guitar transcription than it does for complex multi-instrument works with sound effects ect...

Luckily for me, audio-to-seq approaches do work very well for piano, which turns out to be an amazing way of getting expressive MIDI data for training generative models.
I'm not saying you're wrong, you're probably right; but in the greatest Internet tradition, one other thing is that forts use a lot of energy and the dod is very conscious of power availability and also how the locals perceive military (over)consumption of (their) power.

This is preposterous. You're suggesting a "solution" that's overly complicated by orders of magnitude, fragile and relies on the continued value of some shitcoin. Plus the company behind the underlying shitcoin is already dead because they were offering unlicensed securities.
Good article, neat research behind it.

I think the paper's contributions really don't have anything to do with ML; it's about the new side channel with interrupts, which is a cool find. ML just gets more people to read it, which I guess is ok. I mean, you could just use "statistics" here in much the same way.

I remember an advisor once telling me: once you figure out what a paper is really about, rewrite it, and remove the stuff you used to think it was about. The title of this paper should be about the new side channel, not about the ML story, imho.

But this is just a nitpick. Great work!

Nothing lasts forever. Even 100 years is a very long time given the technology / cultural / legal changes. It's futile to try to come up with an eternal solution. Just host it on something that seems to be reliable / stable for the foreseeable future and tell the younger generation to migrate it after you are gone to whatever tech of their day is going to be. If the younger generation does not care to migrate your work, then it is not of value to their generation and it is OK for it to fizzle out. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but it is probably best to have realistic expectations about how much people would care about your work after you are gone.
They are not hiding anything, because this is standard behaviour for all current optimisers. You still get a massive memory improvement from lower bit model weights during training.
The title is slightly misleading. It's not storing one file in one chess game, but storing one file in a sequence of chess games.
The technique has not much to do with chess but applies to any game, as long as you have a deterministic move generator.

If in the current game state that produces a list of 2^k <= n < 2^{k+1} moves, then you get to encode the next k bits of the file, and change the game state to that after the corresponding move. Whenever the game ends, you start a new one.

Singleton Design Pattern: Managing Global States in Your Applications

How do you manage such an object so that it remains consistent and accessible throughout the application or process lifecycle? This is where the Singleton Design Pattern comes into play.

Ask HN: Best way to get started learning modern AI?
I'm an experienced technologist and I know very little about how modern AI works. I'm really talking about GPT, probably, but I don't really even know enough to name the various other areas.

Are there good sources for beginners? I ask because I have looked around and really haven't seen much. That made me start to wonder what people here who do know this stuff would recommend.
I've countered one but it doesn't matter anyway
A very interesting perspective that really resonates with me. My ventures into Linux have been mostly characterized by this. I still remember, when running Ubuntu on my main machine, not being satisfied because I felt like I couldn't «grip it» and the enormous amount of learning I had to do in order to run Arch on my main box. Although I today run MacOS on all devices, and only interface with Linux on servers, I am grateful for all the things I learned from my period with Arch.

I think the better takeaway is that sometimes you should have the courage to design "ugly" data models if your domain demands it.

Or put differently, don't let language or database affordances dictate your domain models.

There are many situations where either your own abstractions or the abstractions of the language sort of "project back" into your domain model and "suggest" certain features to implement or special cases to handle.

E.g. if you modeled some state as a bunch of boolean (or enum!) fields, then the language suggests that every combination of those field values should map to some meaningful real-world situation. But there is no real reason to assume this! Sometimes one flag only makes sense in the context of another flag, sometimes a specific combination of flags could theoretically occur, but is uninteresting as a business usecase.

The same can happen with self-designed abstractions and interfaces: If "everything" in your system is a CRUD entity, then there will be some temptation to think of some meaningful "update" or "delete" operation for every entity - even if no one actually asked for those features.

In those situations, it's OK to declare certain combination of values as "invalid" (e.g. if isOpen is true, the isLocked must be false) or as "equivalent" (e.g. if isOpen is true, then isLocked is ignored).

A nice Sunday read to enjoy with coffee.
Back during the times of the Ancient Greeks, there were Tragedies and Comedies.
What kind of story it is comes from the architecture of the story:

Structure of a Tragedy: "They're going to win, they're going to win, they're going to win--they lose."

Structure of a Comedy: "They're going to lose, they're going to lose, they're going to lose--they win."

As you see, it is the reversal that makes the story pattern.

Great example: In 1840, Charles Dickens was writing the serial novel "The Old Curiosity Shop". It was published in weekly serial installments over 88 weeks. Dickens was writing it as it was being published. The story is about a Grandfather and his granddaugter Little Nell. The grandfather owes a huge amount money to a loan shark Quilp. Quilp says pay me by giving me Little Nell.

The story is about the flight of the old man and little girl across the London countryside with Quilp in pursuit.

As Dickens was writing the story (and published two chapters a week), his friend John Forster said: "You know you're going to have to kill her." Dickens was horrified because he realized he had been writing a Tragedy--which had to end in "they lose".

In the famous account, when oceanliners crossed the Atlantic Ocean with copies of the 88th and final installment, a crowd of 100,000+ were waiting on the docks of Boston harbor, all yelling the same thing to the debarking passengers: "Is Little Nell dead?" She was.

As much as I love Jimmy Maher's articles, he has a certain bias against any adventure game that's not streamlined. So, he levels similar criticisms against pretty much every Sierra games, Full Throttle and pretty much any adventure game that is not polished to the level of Monkey Island and Day of the Tentacle.

He's not completely wrong and the tendency of adventure games to sometimes veer into puzzles that are more moon logic based did I think contribute to the fall of the genre but I do think that he overemphasizes those faults and has a tendency to describe puzzles that are merely hard as impossible to figure out.

Also, I disagree with his criticism of the interface, as a kid it definitely didn't bother me, if anything I find it less frustrating than the amount of pixel hunt in some adventure games.
> Yes, you can't close a door that is open but the lock is turned.

That depends. If it's a deadbolt, you're correct. If it's the lock in a doorknob, you probably can. This is typically how I lock my front door when I leave, I lock it then close it. Cars doors can also generally be locked then closed.
Are you confident that it's getting them right everytime?
Just put it on your own domain and keep it there while you're alive. Renewing it is not that hard, especially with auto-renew on a credit card.

And make sure the Internet Archive indexes it. When people find old links that don't resolve anymore, IA is where they go.

Don't overthink this. Nothing lasts forever, but right now I'd say IA is the most likely repository to survive over the longest term, certainly in comparison to any for-profit company.

> "If you go on left-leaning media, you can find comments that would be considered gross hate speech if it targeted any other group"

That seems like just a rephrasing of the old meme that Trump voters are "delicate snowflakes"

Why? -- because when someone defines hate speech so liberally, one finds it everywhere and against everyone.

I thought the Trump vote was meant to be a protest against that sort of irrational thinking.
I have to disagree.

I can't think of a single instance of learning a subject that mattered where I would describe as "having fun". Let alone too much fun.

Only on games which are fun themselves I could describe them as a fun experience, but they don't really require deep learning. The ones that do, will often stop being fun too.

It's very easy to enjoy the first stages of learning and have fun with it, but to really learn something, you have to get past that phase. Then it's much more about repetition and grit, than it is about fun.

So, for me, too much fun == not really learning.
