Who do you think?

> A whole lot of Ukrainians do not want to fight

Yes, there is not unanimous agreement on a big political question. Shocking. By this measure, nobody should ever fight for everything.
It kind of stands to reason when you consider the incentives in a hyper-partisan environment. FPTP generally benefits one major party over the other - which party it is varies depending on the location, but either way, it means that the same people who generally run the place and have the most long-term political power in it have the incentive to reject reform. And the vast majority of voters aren't going to delve into the details; if the people whom they generally already vote for tell them that ranked choice etc is a "power grab" by the other guys, they'll believe it. These days, such agitprop is often couched in terms that deliberately evoke various cultural issues - e.g. where Democrats are the ones opposing ranked choice, it is often presented as "diluting the power of minority voters".
Yep. The requirements (and cost!) to become a physician are absolutely insane, and it's entirely intentional. As a society we seem to assume that people in certain trades are altruistic and moral, simply because of their job. For some reason, everyone assumes doctors wouldn't act self-interested. Teachers are often thought of the same way. I don't want to swing the pendulum to the other side and start thinking of them as selfish (though certainly some individuals are), but I do wish as a society we would remember that people are still people. Our systems need to be structured to overcome the natural and innate tendency of people to optimize for themselves or their groups. We don't let the cigarette companies do all the science and make all the laws/rules around tobacco sales, we probably shouldn't do that with medical stuff either. We don't need antagonistic people in charge, but they should be independent.
Please just let my link some kind of government-backed ID to an email account and then clients can ask "hey government, is this email account a real human being in your country"? And government can say "yes" and they can go forward knowing that if I turn out to be a bot and they ban me it will be a huge pain in my ass because I've got to go through government enrollment process again.
blaming anything or anyone gets you exactly zero seconds closer to getting the job done.
> P.s. how much is an exaflop or petaflop

1 petaflop = 10^15 flops = 1,000,000,000,000,000 flops.

1 exaflop = 10^18 flops = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 flops.

Note that these are simply powers of 10, not powers of 2, which are used for storage for example.
> Which happened and kept happening for a long time now

We've been drip feeding and hand tying Ukraine. Practically every military expert has said this is not the way to win a war.
> My personal wish list of things to buy totals more than my likely lifetime income, and your probably does too.

I dunno, I'm really more bottlenecked by time than by income. >50% of my household income goes to savings, so I could comfortably buy more things, but I'm already backlogged on dealing with the things I've already purchased.

I guess the obvious answer would be to turn some of the money into more free time, but I've already picked all the low-hanging fruit there, so the remaining options are considerably higher effort/cost.
Deno doesn't implements this differently, it's just an alternative server side run time. It has some better defaults compared to node though
Your comment is mutually contradictory-- what is it, a brick wall (impossible) analog filter or a more gentle rolloff as things fold over?

What you really do, these days, is you sample at a higher frequency; you can have an exceptionally gentle analog filter (which will help you make it linear, too). E.g. if you sample at 96KHz, you just need to roll to near zero by 75KHz. Then you can digitally downsample/decimate to 44.1KHz or 48KHz.

Also note for CD audio, it's more like 24KHz where you get worried, not 28KHz.
> It really isn't that hard to design a large number of ALU blocks into some silicon IP block and make them work together efficiently.

It really is that hard, and the fabrication side of the issue the easy part from Nvidia's perspective - you just pay TSMC a shitload of money. Nvidia's real victory (besides leading on performance-per-watt) is that their software stack doesn't suck. They invested in complex shader units and tensor accelerators that scale with the size of the card rather than being restrained in puny and limited NPUs. CUDA unified this featureset and was industry-entrenched for almost a decade, which gave it pretty much any feature you could want be it crypto acceleration or AI/ML primitives.

The ultimate tragedy is that there was a potential future where a Free and Open Source CUDA alternative existed. Apple wrote the OpenCL spec for exactly that purpose and gave it to Khronos, but later abandoned it to focus on... checks clipboard MLX and Metal Performance Shaders. Oh, what could have been if the industry weren't so stingy and shortsighted.
Americans will need to learn what speed limit, parking prohibition and pedestrian crossing signs look like in the rest of the world

Strongly feel that Epic is playing the long game to monopolize game dev. Their "free games" teaser on EGS is an attempt to gain market share. /

Once they have captured both the engine and distribution market share, the anti-consumer policies will begin.

In the long run, I remain highly pessimistic and suspicious regarding Epic's long term strategy.
> Lucky Russia to have the strength to make their enemies fear them.

Russia has enemies because for centuries it has attacked its neighbours repeatedly.

And then imposed its own idea of peace that involves tanks rolling through Budapest and soldiers executing students and poets.

Tiananmen square shocked the world, but that kind of behaviour was already familiar to Eastern Europeans. It was the same old song, different orchestra.

Russia is not your friend, no matter what the propaganda tells you and your countrymen.

You’re just momentarily useful to a warlike mafia controlling a country.
That seems actually quite impressive.
The blind leading the blind?
I wonder how well Montecarlo works with a problem like this (for the online version), where you try all the potential places and run simulations adding new random boxes similar to the one added so far in order to see which option allows for better outcome. For sure it's slow, yet it should work well, which is interesting per-se since it would show once more how you can come up with slow but good solutions just simulating stuff. But likely, this is how this heuristics, like Skyline, were found: analyzing the properties of the brute-forced best picks.

> For example, a blind person can't see when an animation has finished. They expect that menu to be available once they've triggered it. However, seeing people see the dropdown appearing and then go to use it once it's ready.

For my two-cents, the BBC was simply trying too much to be "cutesy". Don't animate anything, because the silly animation on mouse click simply makes the website feel slower overall. Just open the menu as fast as the user's browser will open it.
Today, we only charge for cache usage (storage) and data transfer between Regatta and S3. If your metadata access doesn't require transfer to S3, then it doesn't cost anything! However, renames do require transfer to S3 (because we have to move the object on the backend).
Also, as codebases and systems get more (not less) complex over time, the potential for technical debt multiplies. There are more processing and outcome vectors, more (and different) branching paths. New logic maps. Every day/month/year/decade is a new operating environment.
> Art is the domain where "the cost to create it from the seller" matters.

Is it? Or does it boil down to: "This has been done and rehashed multiple times before, it's no longer interesting"? There is tons of recognized art out there that, in literal time spent, could be done in minutes. What is important is what people gain from the art, not the time put into the art.
> Friction braking is always needed to make a full stop.

In my EV6, I have a paddle on the left of my steering wheel that I use (almost) exclusively for braking. It 100% only uses regenerative braking, and I can definitely tell the difference, as its stops are much more subtle than when using the brake pedal for stopping (even when coming to a stop super gently).

More evidence that it doesn't use friction brakes: when I use the left paddle to brake, the car will sometimes edge forward (just an inch or two). With friction braking, this obviously never happens.
> What exactly would "properly" arming Ukraine look like?

More long-range offensive weapons and clearance to hit sites in Russia. Let Israel know that we wouldn't mind them taking out the Iranian drone factories supplying Russia.

That would mean in this case being intolerant of leftists, as they are the ones trying to suppress ideas and debate (by "making no space for conservative ideas and attitudes").
Makes sense, but so can you compare it to to RAG then and show how an answer is superior and what the context contains that makes it superior?

Or how it is close to large context quality of answer with lower cost on some specific examples.

It's helpful when a readme contains a demonstration or as I said above, a specific example.

Living in a country next to Russia, it basically feels more and more likely that I will actually have to participate in a war effort. Not really sure how since I have not undergone military training, but it's definitely something to keep in mind these days.
Putin is old enough to remember the Cuban missile crisis of 1962, when their side actually tried this and had to back down.
To put it simply, best practices are, at best, context-dependent. Best practices for avionics software are not the same as best practices for a CRUD form on your mailing-list signup page.

And to be fair, the best practices for designing a bridge or a skyscraper are not the same ones for designing a doghouse.
We looked quite closely at ActivityPub. Here's why we didn't go with it:

1. AP doesn't have the facilities for global aggregation which can power search, discovery, algorithms, and metrics. The user community has been very clear that they do not want it to be introduced. We felt the connectivity of a shared global network was extremely important to the UX, but we felt it would be wrong to fly in the face of the AP world's established norms & wishes.

2. We felt that strong account portability was an extremely important feature of the system, to ensure that users don't get locked into a specific host. AP's redirection model of account migration concerned us.

3. We're concerned about the cost structure of AP. We're concerned that self-hosters are going to pay a prohibitively high price for virality. This is why we designed the network to avoid placing heavy load on PDS.

I know that the AP world is frustrated with the competition between the protocols and suspicious of how we've chosen to do things. It's a shame because I think we're after similar things, and hold similar values. We didn't set out to sabotage the AP world; we just felt like there were important changes that needed to happen for this mission to work.

Note, however: Our software is not proprietary. It's open-source. The specs are open. The network firehose is open. We're working on getting every piece of the infrastructure into good governance and straightforward self-hosting. It just takes time.
Couldn't agree more. Successful founders have always been high-agency, but AI tools make it possible to do just about anything now. Many people take the pessimistic view of this, believing that it means all skills are being commoditized. On the contrary, I agree with you that it makes experience and expertise all the more valuable.

Autodidacticism is the new critical thinking.

All the best to you and the team!
Damn must be nice to be rich enough to be able to casually have 100TB of space for such projects.
so many repos, nothing interesting really.
That sounds fair only if you imagine that getting education is something like buying a product: if you like it, you take it and agree to pay the cost; and if you don't like, you don't take it.

But sometimes the education is mandatory, inefficient, and it sucks. Then the people who want to leave the country would be required to pay a lot of money for something they didn't want and that wasn't worth it.

Basically, any country that wants to prevent their people from leaving could just assign an absurdly high cost to its mandatory education, and say: "hey, anyone is free to leave, they just need to pay us more than they will ever make".
> Give nukes to Ukraine, even pretend ones and war will end in minutes

This is the wrong answer. But it's clear non-proliferation has failed. If Ukraine had kept its nukes from the 90s, this wouldn't have happened. It would have had the ability to credibly threaten that it had reverse engineered the arming mechanisms.
If I buy it and plug into my computer, I guess my computer will see it as a storage device. If I send it a picture, does it overwrite the fpga bitstream? Do I have write custom drivers so that it does something useful?
not really. its stalking. it poses a direct threat to someones safety. and people arent even supposed to have that information under the current rules... thats why its only possible to get his jets location by crowd-sourcing it. anonymity for high profile passengers is a legitimate concern, enough for the FAA to bake it into how these flights are tracked. soon this loophole will be closed and then what will you point to? how could you seriously compare this to being banned for saying something that is politically incorrect?
Yep, with our current system we have evolved it into a monstrous and inefficient hybrid that contains most of the downsides of a socialized system with most of the downsides of a free market system. It's utterly insane what we're doing, and there seems to be very little interest in fundamental change.
Wonder why this all - here on HN - is not part of the readme .md which says absolutely nothing about how and why this all would work.

The whole approach to representing the work, including the writing here, screams marketing, and the paid offering is the only thing made absolutely clear about it.

p.s. I absolutely understand why a knowledge graph is essential and THE right approach for RAG, and particularly when vector DBS on their own are subpar. But so do know many others and from the way the repo is presented it absolutely gives no clue why yours is _something_ in respect to other/common-sense graph-RAG-somethings.

You see, there are hundreds of smart people out there who can easily come to conclusion data needs to be presented as knowledge in graph-ontological way and then feed the context with only the relevant subgraph. Like, you could’ve said so much rather than asking .0084 cents or whatever for APIs as the headline of a presumably open repo.
This is exactly the kind of argument I think is informed by 20th century ideas of AI. I also think in this form, it greatly exaggerates the issue at hand - AI will not totally replace human-human communication.

Also, since the original context is Hollywood movies, I don't think that there is a lot of "art" in the storytelling of big block busters. Why AI shouldn't be able to write a compelling story needs to be argued more convincingly, I think.

Top line comparison numbers for reference: https://www.theregister.com/2024/03/18/nvidia_turns_up_the_a...

It does seem like Nvidia is prioritizing int8 / fp8 performance over FP64, which given the current state of the ML marketplace is a great idea.
Unlike with children, though, "people" is not a singular entity. While the sets of those voting for some platform and the set of those harmed by its policies often intersect, they rarely overlap entirely.

In general, the biggest problem with any kind of democracy is preventing it from dissolving into a cycle of people voting to, basically, oppress and/or rob their outgroup neighbors for their own benefit (with outgroups themselves created or redefined over time to provide for new targets).
So what new feature set would be more major than PREEMPT_RT? Anybody will remember the great 6.12 for years, whilst 7.0 will be forgotten in a month.

Evidently: Open-source ML observability platform
Idk. LLMs may effectively emulate human creativity up to a point, but in the end they are writing literally the most predictable response.

They don’t start with an emotion, a vision, and then devise creative ways to bring the viewer into that world.

They don’t emotion-test hundreds of ideas to find the most effective way to give the viewer/reader a visceral sense of living that moment.

While they can read sentiment, they do not experience an internal emotional response. Fundamentally, they are generating the most probable string of words based on the data in their training set.

There is no way for them to come up with anything that is both improbable and not nonsensical. Their entire range of “understanding” is based on the statistical probability of the next conceptual fragment.

I’m not saying that it might not be possible for LLMs to come up with a story or script… they do that just fine. But it will literally be the most predictable, unremarkable, innovation-less and uninspiring drivel that can be predicted from a statistical walk through vectors starting at a random point.

There is a reason why AI output is abrasive to read. It is literally written with no consideration given to the reader.

No model of mind of the effect that it will have on the receiver, no interesting and unusual prosaic twists to capture your attention or spur your imagination…. Just a soulless, predictable stream of simulated thoughts that remarkably often turns out to be useful, if uninspiring.

LLMs are fantastic tools for navigating the commons of human culture and making a startling breadth of human knowledge easily accessible.

They are truly amazing tools that can release us from many language manipulation burdens in the capture and sorting of data from diverse and unorganized sources.

They will revolutionize many industries that currently are burdened by extensive human labor in the ingestion, manipulation, and interpretation of data. LLMs are like the washing machine to free our minds from the handwashing of information.

But they are not creative agents in the way that we admire creative genius.

A Potted History of Jesus Christ (Or, What the Church Doesn't Want You to Know)
In the 1600s, English settlers and native Americans probably had similar standards of living (i.e. a bit above subsistence). Maybe a 2x difference which I'm not sure would have been in favor of the Europeans, given that the natives had had so much time to learn how to farm, fish, hunt, and forage in the area.

Bhutan vs the West is a huge difference in comparison.

So sending jets into their airspace is not an escalation, but shooting down the plain is? Yeap, you are not a diplomat.

Should I remind you how US reacted to the Soviet military presence in Cuba? On the US scale Ukraine is somewhere between Mexico and Texas in importance for Russia from the military point of view.
Except scooters are literally motorcycles? From Wikipedia:
