Think of it like this: the final softmax layer is like being forced to pick a single word as your next prediction, while the hidden layer contains all the reasoning and understanding that led to that decision. It's similar to how a human might have a complex thought but needs to reduce it to a single word when speaking.

Many existing applications make use of hidden layers in a transformer to perform useful tasks such as classification. The concept of an “embedding” is simply the output of a hidden layer, after all.

your comment didn't add anything of value to the thread. Upvoting will cause the thread to float higher in the overall discussion and increase the visibility (and thus chance of a response).

Just as a note - your reply comment and even this comment itself is also against guidelines due to being a comment on the comment system and off-topic for the article - but I wanted to make sure you were familiar with the system.

> 1. Many people had contributed their efforts to the Redis project for free - both in terms of code [...] it was under the understanding that project would remain under the same open source license.

The whole point of the MIT/BSD licenses versus licenses like the GPL is to not be limited by that.

> It honestly felt like a betrayal of trust.

It feels like total ignorance from. If such license change bother you, you should only contribute to projects that are licensed under GPL or similar licenses and that don't force contributors to sign a CLA.

I don't like current Redis license, but nobody lost any code and any contributor can still contribute to any fork that started using the last open source version.
Any reading recommendations for introduction to the fundamentals of manual memory management specifically? I tried learning C in the past but didn’t get very far without a compelling need to learn it.

I’ve toyed with Odin a bit and the language in syntax is right up my alley, but the idea of manually managing memory is pretty foreign to me. I understand it broadly, but have no good idea about how to actually do it practically and properly.

I will give this book a look as well since I see it covers the topic in some chapters.
I think it's a bit silly to act as if the divides are so clear, as if industries don't become a soup-of-shit. Everyone learns these things from somewhere, trade shows have many attendees, etc. Players larger than any of these make several identical plays at once. They specialize while others build empires.

All of my recent experience has been SRE work - in these businesses, it's just as you describe. Bait/switch opportunities abound with operations work. Even non-tech companies require this kind of 'help'

It's industrialized, become a product itself. Insidious. Going to a vendor to help you do something you already have the staff for, yet putting gloves on everyone involved. It's endlessly frustrating!

+100, none of this is with malice to the individuals. Just... systems thinking, is all. Terrible feedback loops all around :/

There is a meme that the people you want in DCOPs are the exact types you lament RE: qualifications. Their wet dream is a warm body. Language isn't a requirement; we can translate (or even mechanically rehearse) the runbooks.
These kind of arguments - that physics will somehow magically forbid us from scaling up quantum computers - are exactly why Google does these experiments on larger and larger chips. If the skeptics are right, we expect their systems to reach some kind of wall where the machine does not behave as anticipated by quantum computing optimists. So far we have not hit any such wall, the machine behaves exactly the way it is supposed to (with predictable error rates etc) and the Google results are on the far side of various thresholds that were believed challenging or impossible by the more skeptical end of the community.

The Value in Slow Progress
The transfer times are a killer.

It's only more efficient when the ratio in orbits is around 12 or higher, and then you have to go even higher than that to get more efficient, and takes at least twice as long to complete the transfer.

I'm not sure there's even such a ratio in KSP, even Moho to Jool is less than that.

So you'd need to be in a very artificial scenario for it to be more efficient, and the extra time would be tedious (even at full warp) compared to a regular transfer.
Yes, but it's still the value of a whole town.

A legal system must be robust even to weird or peculiar people who refuse to work with its rules and still produce reasonable results.

> The model was trained on four decades of temperature, wind speed and air pressure data from 1979 to 2018 and can produce a 15-day forecast in just eight minutes—compared to the hours it currently takes.

Basically, they trained the model on old observations, not old predictions.

IE, imagine someone created a giant spreadsheet of every temperature observation, windspeed observation, precipitation observation, ect, and then told the computer to learn how to predict a column.
The direction change from first to second elipse does indeed produce the hook the author visualized. I'm not sure why he had trouble finding examples of this diagram already existing for suitably scaled orbits.

You have the analysis right (incompressibility of phase space), but maybe not the application.

Bbs are arguments against the early low-entropy state of the universe being a fluctuation out of thermal equilibrium, and of a future universe fluctuating out of the approximately de Sitter state of the far future.

Expanding steady state was an effort to capture the increasing evidence (including redshift relations) in favour of a Lemaître-style dense early universe, and to avoid several problems with ~static universes.

Since a steady-state cosmology has neither an early low-entropy configuration nor a late homogeneous equilibrium state (steady-state means homogeneity & isotropy in time as well as space: the "perfect cosmological principle"), I'm not sure how a BB argument arises in such a model. In an expanding steady-state model, is there some mechanism for making BBs other than to have them appear with the other components of new gas which under self-gravitation fragments into systems with negative heat capacity?

> they tend to limit quality, both for copyright and traffic saving purposes

This is the killer for me. I've worked on both video compression and graphics in my career and those projects involved a lot of pixel peeping. The compression artifacts in streaming video are sometimes really distracting now. I keep contemplating switching to bluray but apparently an increasing number of 4K HD releases there are being ruined by questionable use of AI upscaling. It's really sad to me that there's no way to watch many movies in the same quality you would have experienced at a movie theatre.
How do you keep your allies from believing your fake encoded messages and taking the same action that they would have taken, had you not suspected the code was broken?
The exact form of the auction is really really important though. A Vickery auction is single round and sealed but is critically a second price auction so bidder are incentivized to bid their maximum because they will get the second price which wasn't the case in this auction. Without the second price you're trying to bid just enough to outbid the other party/parties which won't maximize bid size.

Hey, if you like living your life uninformed of the risks of your actions (or maybe it’s that the risks are irrelevant to you, if you’re not getting any?), you do you.

I don’t know how I can help you understand the utility of analogies (you recognized the rhetoric as such, yet simultaneously seem stuck on the fact that analogies don’t establish a literal connection). However, I’m not sure if that’s actually the problem, or if you’re feigning confusion in attempt to offend me. Granted, it would seem an odd choice for you to claim incompetence as part of an attempted insult.

Regardless, I’d be happy to help you in any way I can.
Some CS, but TF2 is my main focus. Items are less liquid and the cash trading scene isn't as established. For example, my average margin on TF2 items is 6x higher than CS (~25% vs. ~4-5%). I'm able to buy for less & sell for more than I could in CS.

Knowledge about the game isn't necessary at all - it's just the market itself. Understanding what people are interested in, what items can sell at, how long they take, etc.
The upfront is about 50% higher for an EV, so if you catch that 50% up in 1 year then you'd pay back an entire new EV in 3 years if you scrapped the old ICE one. (figures for simplicity depending upon grid and how much you drive it could be 6 months or 18 months).

But generally we don't scrap old ones.

If you instead sell the old one to someone who drives an ICE car that gets worse mpg then that's a further benefit.
This is a really interesting and thoughtful piece, although I think the repetition comes a little too often.

Still the example of getting focused on engineering problems and not what the code will be used for lands well.

You're correct. You can just use the open source library if you want to. You will get the durability and some observability, but will lose out on the efficiency, reliability, and additional observability that the commercial platform provides. And of course you have to manage all the infrastructure yourself.

What the EU's new software legislation means for developers – The GitHub Blog
Explanation for the above: passing NULL as the destination argument to memcpy() is undefined behaviour at present. gcc assumes that the fact that memcpy() is called therefore means that the destination argument can't be NULL, so "knows" that the dest == NULL check can never be true, and so removes the test and the do_thing1() branch entirely.

Interestingly, replacing len in the memcpy() call results in gcc instead removing the memcpy() call and retaining the check - presumably a different optimisation routine decides that it's a no-op in that case. https://godbolt.org/z/cPdx6v13r is, therefore, interesting - despite this only ever calling test() with a len of 0, the elision of the dest == NULL check is still there, but test() has been inlined without the memcpy (because len == 0) but with do_thing2() (because the behaviour is undefined and so it can assume dest isn't NULL even though there's a NULL literally right there!)

Fucking compilers, man.

We built a quick-and-easy way to compare CSS frameworks, by viewing demos of the frameworks in action.

The goal is to make it easier for developers to previous frameworks side-by-side (we've also open sourced the demo files, so if you have a bit of time we'd love a PR with any frameworks we're missing: http://github.com/bitcomplete/labs-css-frameworks)

Would love any comments on which other frameworks you'd like us to add, or features to make the the decision process a bit easier.

I don't watch the trial and don't know anything about Alex Jones but didn't he show up? His own lawyer "accidentally" sent his private text messages to the plaintiff attorneys.

Of course the judge allowed that mistake to be used in trial.

So I think he did show up as least from that memory of the trial.
> 1. Social credit score system. We should all be able to point our phone at antisocial behavior and damage their score. Until then there's pretty much zero recourse against people who have hostile social behaviors that don't commit a crime (like arguing with the McDonalds employee or causing a scene when someone asks them to turn down their music on the bus). People hate on "Karens" but they're actually our last remaining line of defense against these people.

I don't think you'll actually want to live in a society that works like this. It's called a panopticon. Like some experimental prisons or the DDR which was basically a nation-prison. Everyone will be living a fake life trying to look good while hiding their real wants and needs. This is not natural for people.

And those things are not crimes for a reason. We can't possibly criminalise every little thing that might annoy someone. Some people are jerks or have a bad day, yes. That's no reason to obliterate the concept of privacy.

Also, something that annoys some people will be loved by others. Opinions are like assholes. Everyone's got one.

Show HN: An AI Santa that roasts developers based on their GitHub activity
Hey HN!

Excited to share a fun holiday project we built called Salty Open Source Santa.

It's an Anthropic-powered Santa that determines if you're on the open source naughty or nice list by analyzing your GitHub contributions, then writes you a personalized (and salty) letter about your commits.

The idea came from our team joking about reviewing each other's git history. We thought - what if Santa was a grumpy code reviewer who had strong opinions about your commit messages and abandoned PRs?

Key features:
- Quick GitHub auth (we don't store private data)
- AI-generated personalized roasts based on your public GitHub activity
- "Friend mode" to roast your fellow devs
- A scoring algorithm that actually tries to be fair about who makes the nice list
- Full technical breakdown showing how we built it with Directus, Nuxt, and Anthropic's Claude

We learned a ton about prompt engineering, OAuth flows, and rate limiting while building this. The whole thing is open source and we documented the full build process.

Try it out: salty-santa.vercel.app

Technical writeup: docs.directus.io/blog/ai-santa-roast-app-with-directus-nuxt

Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback! And if you're feeling brave, let Santa review your commits

> This is probably the correct decision.

It is 100% not. It makes fewer creditors whole. Simple as that. It's worse for all creditors involved, as per the creditors. Any suggestion that this is "correct" or better is out of ignorance or deceit.

> The other creditors are far better off getting more cash

The nature of the original deal guaranteed the other creditors got more money than they would from the other offer by $100,000 more. Suggesting that they were getting less is ignorant.

> the onion gets to buy this website for no money.

Again, the Onion was spending real cash.

At best your are completely ignorant of the deal.
I wasn't doubting your original point, more like complementing it.

Though on this:

> Getting info from individual sites and sources that you've personally and organically discovered and vetted feels like it would be a far far far bigger net positive overall than even light social media usage.

I would disagree, this is exactly what it means to live in a bubble.
> I don't support whatever the fuck "journalism" these days (read: at least the past ~10 years, and likely longer than anyone realizes) is.

Thank Fox News and the other Murdoch rags for setting off the spiral, and social media / clickbait mechanisms gave media at large the rest.

You clearly feel very strongly about this topic; out of curiosity, are you a Redis contributor? If so, was your contribution done via your day job (paid time) or was it an outside/independent contribution?

> I feel like once a software is open sourced the name of that software should also be required to remain open sourced as well, and any closing of the source must come with a requirement of forking the software and changing the name.

Who should enforce such a requirement, and under what mechanism?

Open source licenses are copyright licenses, whereas product names are trademarks. These are separate legal concepts. Meanwhile "the community" isn't even a legal entity at all. As I understand it, there's nothing to "start litigating" here, and no one to litigate it.

Are you proposing that the OSI should change the OSD such that open source licenses must include mandatory trademark assignment to an independent nonprofit foundation? That's a rather extreme view if so.
