When people invest in a scam, they 100% deserve to lose all the money they invested.

People should suck it up. They have no one to blame but themselves. I joined a project which was legitimate at first and founders essentially gave up (bribed?) and the project turned into a scam. OK I blame them, I think about taking it to court sometimes but I definitely blame myself too for having trusted them. I wasted 3 years of work on this. I should have seen the warning signs. I wasn't cynical enough.

Later I launched my own project. I barely raised any money at all. But I'm still running it 4 years later. Nobody gives a crap. Nobody thinks this track record matters. I also have a solid 10+ years track record in open source. So f*** them. I love it when people lose their money in scams because they need to be schooled about LIFE and the value of TRUST. We're talking about BARE BASICS for being a functioning adult here. Just look at the people's track records you morons. Verify that the identities match up. Any serious person who values $10K+ WILL MAKE TIME to talk to you one-on-one to earn your investment. You can see their track record at various companies, you can contact colleagues, you can see open source contributions in the public domain. It's your fault and nothing but your fault that you didn't do the due diligence. You were lazy.

If you valued your money, you would have done the research and set the trust bar higher. If you lost money in a cheap scam like this, you didn't deserve to keep that money in the first place.

Don't go crying to big daddy SEC about the big bad wolf who fleeced you clean. Be thankful it didn't eat you alive because that's what should happen to any sheep which ventures into a wolf's lair.

Not saying that the wolf shouldn't be punished... Just saying; we shouldn't protect irrational agents at the expense of rational ones.

What do you actually use it for? I've never been able to actually get it to perform on anything remotely close to what it claims. Sure, it can help optimize few shot prompting...but what else can it reliably do?
That's just not how evolution operates. It can't "look forward" 1 million years and keep something because it will be advantageous in the future.
The best part is that that kind of trick usually becomes more, rather than less, impressive when its inner working is revealed. I recently got to see them perform live, and my favorite trick by far was one of that kind.
Semi-related: On the old F1 website, they'd post the lap and sector times of drivers during an F1 session (practice, qualifying, race). First it was a Java app which had all the data, and then they got fancy and wrote it in JavaScript, and enshittified it: if you don't subscribe to their premium... website offering?.. you just get colored sectors whenever the driver's finished that sector (yellow as they've passed it, green if it's the fastest time they've driven through this sector, purple if it's the fastest of anyone, in the current session). I was wondering if they still had the sector times and just hid it on the frontend, and it was the case. There was an if-block that was called during initialization that checked if user was premium. Adding a breakpoint and adding a condition to set premium = true got me the sector times!

And then they changed their app to use Unity and WASM, and it's all Assembly-esque in the developer tool.

Nothing screams intrinsic value like burning enormous amounts of energy just to find a set of bits that happen to hash to a value less than a target value.

But hey at least we proved that we won the race to find said hash before someone else!
Because the energy of a photon is a function of its frequency.
That's not what empathy means.
Show HN: Go-gen-slice-accessors – Generate slice accessor methods in Go
Hi HN,

I would like to share my open-source tool, go-gen-slice-accessors!
It is a code generation tool written in Go that helps create accessor methods for slices of structs.

Manually defining accessor methods can be repetitive and tedious. go-gen-slice-accessors eliminates this hassle, letting you focus on the more important parts of your code.

https://github.com/snamiki1212/go-gen-slice-accessors

I would love to hear your feedback, suggestions, or comments!
How does this compare with this that was posted on HN a few weeks ago?

What I find funny is that the first country that banned TikTok, was China! (Yes, you can't access it from there)
Wait is this better than the one in the OP?
In short, DPO is not better than PPO. This is because DPO is derived from so called BT reward assumption that pairwise data preference is collected. Through mathematical formulations, you can learn the preference and the action at the same time. However, PPO and other on-policy (training samples are strictly generated by the LLM) doesn't need such assumption. For example, in coding and math problems it is possible to get binary reward. Many research shows DPO is ok if you don't take much care on OOD performance.
It's extremely annoying to have shit randomly popping up to cover what I'm trying to read.

Quota vs. Quality? Long Term Gains from an Unusual Gender Quota (2022)
This is a study done on Finnish teachers. For six years in the 1980s there was affirmative action to help have more male primary school teachers. The male teachers who were there because of affirmative action seem to have been better teachers (measured by pupil educational attainment and drop-out rate) than the higher scoring on the entrance exams teachers after affirmative action was ended.
Sometimes I do things I know are cursed for the sheer entertainment of being able to say it worked. E.g. my one absurdly complex R script that would write ungodly long bash scripts based on the output of various domain specific packages.

It began:

# Yeah yeah I know
> No, open borders mean that the immigrants are legal by default.

I suppose that's one definition of it, a more extreme version. No country on Earth has this kind of immigration policy. It would be unsustainable.

> It doesn't mean the borders aren't secure enough for your paranoid xenophobic liking.

Ad-hominem attacks are not necessary. My wife is second generation immigrant. Her father is first generation, they do not support illegal immigration either. He came here legally and the people that come here illegally take away resources from those who want to come here legally the right way.

There are already taxes subsidies for couples and children - that's plenty enough incentive for wealthy families that can support kids. Families that cannot afford to feed or house children should in no way be penalized for refusing to start a family in their present situation.
Yeah, also in Northern Europe. Here in Estonia kids as young as 5 years old even go to kindergarten on their own. They take a bus and are just fine. Seems to me the helicopter parenting is mostly a thing in the U.S.
The answer is somewhere between - nobody really cared enough to try until the last few years, combined with allowing users to write their own css means there is a very long tail of content that is assuming light mode which needs to be fixed.

Citation needed. That’s a very strong claim to make to then back it up with nothing.
Turns out China (or here, Russia) infiltrated the country, waged an enormous disinformation campaign and succeeded by getting their chosen candidate elected? "Tough luck, it's too late now, should just stand by and watch the country get taken over".

No.
same here. I noticed that when you ask model to generate elaborate responses in natural text, and then come up with an answer, quality is orders of magnitude better, and something in line you would expect human-like reasoning.

asking LLM to directly generate JSON gives much worser results, similar to either random guess or intuition.
It looks neat, but is there a U.S. vendor? Ordering from aliexpress seems pointlessly risky.
All possible UUIDs are in this page, it’s not a tiny subset.

They are generated by your device on the fly as you move through the list so you can’t really use it as a rainbow table any more than manually creating the table yourself.

Globally, Tesla chargers have been available to most EVs for many years. America moving to a standard shouldn't have shocked anyone.
So, when Ian Kershaw, the esteemed historian of Nazi Germany, said that "trying to define 'fascism' is like trying to nail jelly to the wall", you are telling me he was wrong? Because you seem to think it is much more of a clearcut question than he does.
I agree, however pop-ups are the worst
Fwiw,if you are logged in you can switch your skin in Special:preferences to bring the old look back.
OT: I like how he refers to a Hanselman post about great interview questions, and how around 40% of the questions in that post are obsolete. It shows how quickly our field evolves, for better or worse.
You have an off by one error. But I honestly don’t know which you should change to with the spirit of the show.
A lot of people are annoyed that the foundation has significant reserves, enough that much of it's budgets is grants, yet puts out messages like they are in dire need for cash. I think it's mostly fine, though annoying, but a lot of people disagree with it in principal.

Getting closer!! You are not shocked, and can’t see why anyone would be surprised the knob exists. This is closer to the root issue.

I want you to think about people that might be shocked,
Not for the shape, but the existence. Or why one might even desire such knobs. Think about why this might be.

It’s all very abstract now. You are not trying to convince me of anything, and all I am trying to do is expand your perspective. Peace to all.
I can say that I was categorically wrong about the utility of things like instructor.

It’s easy to burn a lot of tokens but if the thing you’re doing merits the cost? You can be a bully with it and while its never the best, 95% as good for zero effort is a tool in one’s kit.
In early reports it was claimed that the victim was being investigated for financial crimes and other irregularities. Those details are no longer in circulation. Some financial crimes are money laundering as well and there are often beneficiaries who don't want to be identified. Have to wonder whether the messages on the bullets are a red herring.
These are the marks of a passive-aggressive and adversarial manager who would sell their team out from under them.
I realized today that the average person types half my typing speed. I wonder if this factors in people's tendency to use AI? Typing takes too long so just let the AI do it?

In some ways, I'm not impressed by AI because much of what AI has achieved I feel could have been done without AI, it's just that putting all of it in a simple textbox is more "sleek" than putting all that functionality in a complex GUI.
I think for sports, I could wrap all the various mulle-sde and mulle-bashfunction files back into one and make it > 100K lines. It wouldn't even be cheating, because it naturally fractalized into multiple sub-projects with sub-components from a monolithic script over time.
I consider myself qualified enough to determine there are orders of magnitudes of difference between them, but not nearly enough to place them at an exact location on the spectrum. I'd have to devote months and work with plenty of others to even attempt doing so and even then I wouldn't be the best person for the job.

Exxon also isn't a person, but the same would apply if you'd have said e.g. the Exxon CEO.

For people buying oil products, again there's orders of magnitudes of difference. Even the average person in Sierra Leone has bought an oil product at some point. I'm sure he's bought magnitudes less than I have though, and I have bought magnitudes less than others again. All of this does place us on different parts of the spectrum and is not to be hand-waved away.
I never said anything about it being random. I think many people share the opinion of the content authors, and thus 'like and share' the content, causing it to go viral. You should understand that normal people are deeply sympathetic to the Gazan civilians because they see the images coming out of Gaza, images of children whose limbs have been blown off by 2000 lb bombs dropped on apartment buildings, and are horrified by the violence being done to the innocent.

Quick question for you to ponder then; did you or did you not engage multiple times with a nationalist who is frequently flagged for starting and persisting in flamewars?

If you did then that would be what is being referenced .. there was no claim that you personally are a nationalist .. it would appear that you're "simply" being pedantic about terms here, which is passively engaging in the behaviour that the guidelines seek to discourage.
Wow neat! The first step to format ambivalence! Curious to see how well does this perform on the edge, our overhead is always so scarce!

Amazing work as always, looking forward to taking this for a spin!
I mean it's similar to banning Monegasque locals from gambling in Monte Carlo
A part of the problem is that the ingestion is not vector compressed, so they're charging you for the CPU overhead of this data rearrangement.

It would cut costs a lot if the source agents did this (pre)processing locally before sending it down the wire.
Somehow it feels like even if I did something where I openly say "This is 100% going to be a rugpull", people are still going to put money in it... I need to get on this con...

It seems like the crypto boom times gave a lot of people a lot of stupid money, e.g. that crypto guy who bought that "art" banana for millions (well, single digit millions) and then ate it. There must be a term for this similar to "fuck you money"... maybe "dance, monkeys, dance money"?

Edit to add: which is why I feel like most of the people joining on the memecoin/rugpull bandwagons are either playing with their -- let's call it "monopoly money" that they gained by "playing crypto", or rubes that are actually putting their savings in. The first group will just laugh off a loss, while the second group saw the fist group, got FOMO and will get ruined when the rug gets pulled.

Somehow it's very similar to card-sharking, where the other "victims" help the shark lure the actual victim..
With body modifications that suggest they basically live in the armor, i.e. the neck and torso ports looks like its there to inject calories and expel waste without need for removal.
Hey, I've been wanting to do something similar for some time now for my domestic audience.

Putting it all together is quite an effort, are you satisfied on the returns considering the time/effort you've put into it?
My personal experience with titles has always been complicated.

By the time a corporation has reached FAANG scale, they become boring and ultimately immutable out of necessity. I find it sad many folks dream of joining that drudgery, inventing nothing, and gambling on asinine business plans. =3
It most certainly does.

Why? PINs are limited to 4 digits in many markets, so it's not exactly extreme for a developer to not consider the (to them) edge case of 6 digit PINs on foreign cards.

Conversely, it seems very possible to support 6 digit PINs and yet still make a ton of horrible implementation mistakes, security and otherwise.

Georgians don't seem to like either if you call their country Gruzia. And Greeks didn't like it when their neighbors wanted to be Macedonians.

Given how censored the 3.2 model was, is I'm looking forward to the abliterated 3.3 version to see if there's any significant improvements there that can replace it.
Yes, Ian Kershaw is precisely right! It is very difficult to define because it is a means by which one, either a person, a party, an ethnicity, whatever, pursues and attempts to preserve power regardless of the will or interests of the people they intend to have power over.

The difference here is that anti-fascists have ethical and moral standards, create and support political systems that make it possible for them to loose, celebrate those losses.

It’s difficult to define a barbarian, but you definitely know it when they come to your town.
If you were going to use it, your car's navigation would probably route you there, and you wouldn't need to look for it. FWIW.
The grants thing is a bit misleading - a lot of the grants are to affiliate organizations in other countries. So for example if Wikimedia germany writes some code for the wikipedia site, it is probably funded by a grant from wikipedia donations.

I dont claim everything wikimedia foundation does is useful or that there isn't any wasted money. They are also definitely past the "keep the lights on stage", but you cant do anything useful if you only keep the lights on. Mostly i just think discussing if the budget of a multimillion dollar organization that runs one of the most popular websites in the world is reasonable requires a lot more nuance than most discussons on the internet have.

The model doesn't have to be like for like though. Set up a restaurant instead of a convenience store (think American diner style) and offer a discount on your charge for every $10 spent, or a similar integration.

Now you have a reason for someone to sit and spend money, and likely enough as EVs hit critical mass to justify costs. There are things to work out on speed of food vs charging times, potentially a queue and valet setup - but napkin maths it seems viable.

I've not been a huge fan of Tesla generally because of the lack of physical buttons, as well as build quality.

Assassination assumes some premeditation.

I can at least grasp killing in some sort of immediate self-defense situation.

However, assassination seems a slippery slope to some anarchy that is unlikely to please anyone this side of Hell.
Oh, no, now I have to go dig out some of mine....

The first really big one I wrote was the ~7000 line installer for the Enrust CA and directory, which ran on, well, all Unixes at that time. It didn't initially, of course, but it grew with customer demand.

The installation itself wasn't especially complicated, but upgrades were, a little, and this was back when every utility on every Unix had slight variations.

Much of the script was figuring out and managing those differences, much was error detection and recovery and rollback, some was a very primitive form of package and dependency management....

DEC's Unix (the other one, not Ultrix) was the most baffling. It took me days to realize that all command line utilities truncated their output at column width. Every single one. Over 30 years later and that one still stands out.

Every release of HP-UX had breaking changes, and we covered 6.5 to 11, IIRC. I barely remember Ultrix or the Novell one or Next, or Sequent. I do remember AIX as being weird but I don't remember why. And of course even Sun's three/four OS's had their differences (SunOS pre 4.1.3; 4.1.3; Solaris pre 2; and 2+) but they had great FMs. The best.

I authored the blog with some other contributors and worked on the feature (PR: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/pull/7900).

This sounds like it is de-facto true but it isn't. A private file repository with a closed source license is in-facto different than a private file repository with an open source license. The license is not altered by the access permissions of the repository, and the access permissions of the file repository are not altered by the license. A compiled version of code in a private repository with a closed source license can be released publicly without that code. The same is not true if the private repository contains code with an open source license.
