Holos writes fully rendered manifests to the local filesystem, a gitops repository. Kargo watches a container registry for new images, then uses the rendered manifests Holos produced as the input to the promotion process.

The specific integration point I explored last week was configuring Holos to write a Kustomize kustomization.yaml file along side each of the components that have promotable artifacts. This is essentially just a stub for Kargo to come along and edit with a promotion step.

For example the output of the Holos rendering process for our demo "Bank of Holos" front end is this directory:

https://github.com/holos-run/bank-of-holos/tree/v0.6.2/deplo...

Normally, ArgoCD would deploy this straight from Git, but we changed the Application resource we configure to instead look where Kargo suggests, which is a different branch. Aside, I'm not sure I like the multiple branches approach but I'm following Kargo's docs initially then will look at doing it again in the same branch but using different folders.

https://github.com/holos-run/bank-of-holos/blob/v0.6.2/deplo...

Note the targetRevision: stage/dev Kargo is responsible for this branch.

The Kargo promotion stages are configured by this manifest Holos renders:

https://github.com/holos-run/bank-of-holos/blob/v0.6.2/deplo...

Holos writes this file out from the CUE configuration when it renders the platform. The corresponding CUE configuration responsible for producing that rendered manifest is at:

https://github.com/holos-run/bank-of-holos/blob/v0.6.2/proje...

This is all a very detailed way of saying: Holos renders the manifests, you commit them to git, Kargo uses Kustomize edit to patch in the promoted container image and renders the manifests _again_ somewhere else (branch or folder). ArgoCD applies the manifests Kargo writes.

I'll write it up properly soon, but the initial notes from my spike last week are at https://github.com/holos-run/bank-of-holos/blob/main/docs/ka...

I recorded a quick video of it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0bpQugSbzA which is more a demo of Kargo than Holos really.

What we were concerned about was we'd need to wait for Kargo to support arbitrary commands as promotion steps, something they're not targeting on having until v1.3 next year. Luckily, we work very well with their existing promotion steps because we take care to stop once we write the rendered manifests, leaving it up you to use additional tools like kubectl apply, Kargo, Flux, ArgoCD, etc...
Tried to get bond for an amount covering bills for two years; lol. This gives me more hope than most things I've read lately
Surely the car guys are actually fans of driving?
The point isn't that they can be preserved; you're right that they probably wouldn't be. But all it takes is a single instant where "you" are randomly "conjured" into being: your Boltzmann brain has all your memories and everything. Even if that brain dissipates a small fraction of a second later, for that tiny amount of time, you would believe in the world as we all know it.

And the bizarre thing about this is you can't say "oh look, I've been in existence long enough to type this sentence, so I and my memories and reality must be real, and not just a random spontaneous formation of a brain", because at every single instant, you could be that brand-new Boltzmann brain, never before formed, and the bits where you thought "oh look, I've been in existence long enough..." are just the memories spontaneously implanted into that brain.

It's kinda wild. I'm not sure I buy it as a realistic possibility, but it can be fun (or terrifying) to think about.
This seems like a tautology, by definition forces on a global scale are far beyond the average person.

If they weren’t, then they would cease to significantly affect things on such a scale.

In the tautological sense.

On a normalized basis in the USA? 1 fatality per ~4000-5000 years of driving. 1 injury per ~60-70 years of driving.

Can you point to scientifically rigorous evidence, at least reaching the bare minimum of fit for publication, of the absolute level of safety of those systems and where they stand in comparison?

How many people am I allowed to kill or injure before I need to run scientific studies on unproven and empirically fatal technology?

> It's good to work at companies where productivity is tied to personal performance, even if measuring productivty is far from perfect.

Not in my opinion. These kind of companies ask you to give 100% of yourself every single day. This may sound normal and natural to everyone, but I don’t like it. I cannot work in an environment in which they ask me to be a high performer, and anything else is “below expectations”. It’s just not worth it.

Much better to have job (in)security detached from productivity: in any case, companies are not to be trusted, and one should be ready to switch at any moment.
No doubt the one-time costs are staggering, but I've read the cost per car is only around $100k. That's a lot more than the $20-$50k for a new Uber or taxi, but the potential savings in labor are massive and create the potential to severely undercut the (manual) competition.

For runtime, I use ComfyUi [0] which is node based and therefore a bit hard to learn. But you can just look at the examples on their github. Foocus [1] also seems to be popular and a bit more conventional perhaps, though I didn't try it.

For models, Flux [2] is pretty good and quite straightforward to use. (In general, you will have a runtime and then you have to get the model weights seperately). Which Flux variant depends on your graphics card, the Flux.1 schnell should work for most decently modern ones. (And the website, civitai.com is a repository for models and other associated tools.)

Google says the next step is to find a problem with real life application. From https://blog.google/technology/research/google-willow-quantu...

> The next challenge for the field is to demonstrate a first "useful, beyond-classical" computation on today's quantum chips that is relevant to a real-world application.
but no one other than a quantum researcher cares about that problem.

The better question may be why the rest of us don’t care about the same things. If we sat here in 2014 and pondered why neural net folks cared about particular problems, I’m not sure where we’d be. Faith and Vision are truly spiritual things, even in tech.
Yeah, even if the split isnt entirely about licensing (and I do think it mainly is), the rest is a result of the licensing changes as well in terms of the implications and side-effects. Its the way people felt rug pulled and eroding the trust, which is now forever lost.

I can't say I agree with him though. America is not everything either. Yes they have lots of money. But also more inequality, more violent crime, insane healthcare and housing costs and very few holidays. You can be fired from one day to the next without reason or package in many states.

Here in Europe it's more about quality of life than money. We also care more about privacy, fairness, the environment.. That's a good thing IMO. Money isn't something I always want more of. There's a point where it's enough. More would be cool but it's not a big deal. But if he likes it better over there, go for it :)
Makes you wonder if they really thought that would work. I guess it never hurts to shoot for the moon.

Weather and climate models have their own physics, which at the very least means that the solution is physical for the universe that particular model inhabits. The boundary conditions are parameterized, and those can be tweaked as climate and land use changes.

AI models don’t have any of that, but they are actually more akin to human forecasters, gaining forecast skill from pattern recognition. I think there’s a place for both in weather forecasting, but I’d have zero confidence in an AI climate model, or anything longer than a year. An AI might be very good at seasonal forecasts though, picking up easy to miss signals in the MJO or ENSO.
Re: Noise

There's some probablistic programs that we run that not only don't need determinism, but are actively harmed by it.

For example deep learning training would probably work fine if there was a 1% destructive noise, as long as there were a massive increase in compute.
What you say is true, but collectively people are ultimately to blame for their non-vigilance when their rights are slowly eroded.

Look at even small groups of common people, the most power hungry get to the top, common people vote for the most charismatic/popular, not the most competent. Blaming the powerful evil people is self defeating and absolves personal responsibility.

Common people are also a divided lot. Petty issues, bickering and entertainment keep them engaged. As the saying goes: divide and rule.
About time. Cruise was an absolute joke. The number of close calls I have had with Cruise vehicles either has a pedestrian or automobile is way too high.
Oh I see how it would work thank you. And ofc I am willing to work, just need to know the ISA and how you want it, maybe even a primitive emulator.
I don't think that's actually a problem with the Boltzmann brain concept; I think it's just a reason why we don't want it to be the actual representation of reality.

I've chosen not to care; if I'm a BB, or even just a character in a simulation, my life and choices still have meaning to me -- whatever I actually am -- and that's what I've decided is important.
The diagram on the front page immediately makes me question why all of this is so complex given the end goal is to run a process.
Can you add markdown support? I already submitted one with markdown (username 'runvnc') .. also maybe deal with longer entries like only show the first 250 characters in the box and the rest in a tooltip/hover or when you click up to 1000 characters or something.

Ask HN: Is the freemium model the future for AI-platforms?
Due to the associated costs of integrating LLMs into products, many services rely on free trials that convert into monthly subscription plans. Does it make sense to introduce something in-between?

For example, after having used the Cursor IDE, I'm still hesitant to pay for a subscription. If Cursor offered a freemium model supported by ads, e.g., in the chat tab, I would gladly tolerate them to use the service for free.

Function calling agents are only getting smarted and can be configured to determine the relevant moments to serve ads during interactions, using high-level contextual + demographic information. Also, ads would be showcased separately from the LLM's response, with clear messaging to as why they were shown.

Does this approach make sense? Could it make freemium models sustainable without much disruption to the user experience?

The visuals on my website is the only way to fully articulate this idea. Feedback would be much appreciated.

> The US has a highly regional system, but as I understand it pre-algebra is taught starting around sixth grade

In most advanced countries this would be the beginning of Junior High a.k.a. Middle School. By that time the students have been thoroughly introduced to pre-algebraic reasoning already, and are broadly getting practice in it (and being taught some more advanced notions around, e.g. exponents and powers, which are of course foundational for later teaching) as preparation for actual algebraic expressions to be introduced.
If I write a sqrt function in a dynamically typed language, I will write a test which verifies that it does something reasonable when given something other than a number as input. I will not write that test in a statically typed language because it would not even be possible to write.
For me if shows:

If you are a Boltzman brain then you are born with memories you have (that haven't really happened) and you have no future (because the next moment you'll collapse).

You could even live kind of a "life" by randomly popping into existence once every million years in some differrent galaxy, experiencing one planck time and collapsing (and the only thing that connects the instances to each other is that the next instance by random chance has memories consistent with the previous instance).

They could even appear in non-chronological order.

I don't think it's likely, but it's more likely than having the one randomly generated brain experience stuff "in real time".
Of course it is scary. This is totalitarianism plain and simple. Secret laws. Secret rules. All these do exist (not necessarily only for SARs, where the law is not necessarily secret) when they definitely should not.

The excuse "(but) This is very much the law." isn't much of an excuse.

Last I checked the numbers estimated that, worldwide, KYC/AML costs on business where more than $180 bn while only $12 bn of funds were frozen. And frozen do not mean confiscated: a part of these are unfrozen and rightfully returned to their owners.

So that whole totalitarian, dystopian, system is a gigantic net loss.

And for what? To please bureaucrats who can do nothing else but push papers, create laws and rules and put ever more burden on everybody else.

But the worse of it all is that it gives a perfectly valid excuse for banks to debank anyone they don't like: seen that they don't need to justify anything they can just say "we're sorry we cannot say anything".

Wait, no, that's not the worst of it all. In several countries in the EU like France and Belgium the local IRSes do basically run ads explaining how you can denounce your neighbor.

I've heard a number floating in floating (devs in charge of these systems do talk): 25% of all the self-employed people have had at least one SAR.

On my LinkedIn I see people proudly posting 3rd-reich stuff like "The previous chief compliance officer said there were weeks where they had zero SAR". Basically implying that the previous dude was not filling enough reports and that he was so happy to get the job so that he could run those numbers up.

Burn that entire system. Just burn it to the ground.

There is no moral justification to freezing the bank accounts of truckers in Canada.

I don't care that "this is the law". Laws should be about justice.

This has absolutely nothing to do with being just.
I can only beg your pardon for my lack of emotion or delicate language in offering these admittedly blunt and unflattering assessments.

Yea there is a much better version of the search bar soon-to-deploy (which accounts for aliases like QA -> Quality Assurance) and it will match by word rather than the entire phrase (currently "software engineer" will not query "software test engineer"). Appreciate the callout here

You can find a toggle switch for "has salary" under the "other" filters which will show only those w salary, but good call perhaps that should be part of a sort feature (beyond just date)

The filters do need more love for sure. I like your examples for various metrics displayed in the UI. I did think it would be cool to have a Github-like array of squares that represent units of time with colors that show how it has been changing over time, would have to figure out how heavy of calculations those would be in real-time but I really like your idea here. Or a line chart might be better.

Many thanks for all the input!

Ignoring the fact that there's no way I can spill resin on the floor with my current printing / curing setup, I would just wipe most of it off with paper towels, then clean with water (or IPA but I use water-washable resin), and then if really needed I would cure it and scrape it off.

I don't have a single drop of resin anywhere on the desk where I take care of prints, so it's not that hard.

Note that it's in a room that I dedicate as my workshop, so I'm the only one that goes in and only for DYI purpose (and rarely).
> What do others think about this?

Stop with the Al Capone, totally dumb, angle: instead of arresting him for his actual crime, they arrested him because he didn't pay his taxes. Something dumb like that. And everybody applauds as if it was so brilliant. It's not.

What I think is: arrest people for the actual crime they commit... and leave honest people the fuck alone.
The question is not whether a problem is easier to verify than to solve but whether there is a problem that is provably faster (in the complexity sense) on a quantum computer than a classical computer that is easy to verify on a classical computer.
> ChatGPT would soon do that for you better than you do it yourself.

Is that really what you'd teach your kids? No need for deductive reasoning, just trust the robot?

ChatGPT is certainly an interesting authority to appeal to, but I believe we as humans have a complicated history with authority.
Personally, I suspect there's likely a generational non-COVID caused reduction in child welfare at play, the leading edge of which happened to get hidden by COVID.

The combo of more and more parents who work all the time and/or have delegated parenting to YouTube and mobile devices, plus charter schools (1) moving a chunk of non-IEP kids into more non-secular schools with lower standards and (2) concentrating behavior issue and IEP kids in public schools are basically rotting things from the inside out.
The government turned it on by default for everyone, so now it’s just universally ignored.

Happily, our local police department is sunsetting it, since it gives people a false impression of whether or not they’re currently being stabbed.
If a BB could exist, it could also represent a type of intelligence that is so foreign to our experience that we wouldn't even recognize it as such, even if it could last long enough for us to encounter and study it.
I'd love to use this but there appears to be no coverage of my country. Any plans to expand coverage to other regions?
> Of course you can model quantum measurements!

No, you can't. You can statistically model the results of multiple quantum measurements in the aggregate but you cannot model the physical process of a single measurement because there is a fundamental disconnect between the physics of quantum measurements and TMs, namely, TMs are deterministic and quantum measurements are not. There is a reason that the Measurement Problem is a thing.
Everyone is walking a tightrope.

I, and probably a lot of people reading this on HN, are outwardly very comfortable.

I have cash/assets that would be life changing for most people (especially when I read comments on reddit where people say that $10k would be life changing for them) - and a "good" white-collar job.

I'm also lucky enough to be old enough to have not been 100% screwed like our even younger generation has (I only got 90% screwed).

I've been very lucky in life, but when I see the level of wealth inequality and how corporations have completely captured our government, and our two-tiered justice system, it makes me feel sick and angry.

I still feel like I'm being held hostage by the 0.1%, under pressure to keep working to line other's pockets for much longer than I would otherwise have to, and like the whole thing could all come crashing down in a week's time given some improbable but far-from-impossible set of circumstances.

I also don't feel like I would be supported by my government, corporations, or society in general if those circumstances actually occurred.

So I definitely sympathize with the frustration of people who feel unsupported by society and unrepresented by government - especially those who happened to be unluckier in life than I.

And with the current state of affairs, there must be a LOT of them around.

I sympathize with that frustration a hell of a lot more than I sympathize for a dead CEO who made a career out of systematically denying treatment to people who paid him for coverage.

In fact, I'm happy he died as a reminder that nobody is untouchable, no matter how much lobbying your corporation has done to make social murder legal, and no matter how much you've tried to isolate yourself from the consequences of your terrible actions.

I read a reddit comment about the alleged shooter's arrest before:

"murder is such a strong word, can't we just call it removing a cancer?"
