I needed an uncensored model in order to, guess what, make an AI draw my niece snowboarding down a waterfall. All the online services refuse on basis that the picture contains -- oh horrors -- a child.

"Uncensored" absolutely does not imply NSFW.
I found the part of this I read to be a less than convincing market analysis of the barriers to entry for business.

Here's an AI on the same topic

"briefly, what are the top 5 current barriers to entry for AI companies"

Certainly! Here are five of the most significant barriers currently affecting the startup phase of AI companies:

1. *Data Quality and Availability*: Access to high-quality data is crucial for training effective machine learning models. However, obtaining large amounts of labeled data can be costly and challenging.

2. *High Initial Development Costs*: Building robust AI solutions often requires substantial investment in research, development, and infrastructure. This includes hiring skilled professionals with expertise in AI, as well as investing in hardware and software tools.

3. *Regulatory Compliance*: Many industries have strict regulations that businesses must comply with, especially when dealing with sensitive data or making predictions that could impact people’s lives (e.g., healthcare, finance). Adhering to these laws can be complex and costly.

4. *Technological Complexity*: Advanced AI technologies often require a high level of technical expertise. Companies need specialists in algorithms, software development, and domain-specific knowledge to design and deploy effective solutions.

5. *Scalability and Maintenance Costs*: Once an AI system is developed, there are ongoing costs associated with maintaining the model (e.g., updating algorithms as new data becomes available) and ensuring that it continues to perform well as usage increases.

These barriers can vary based on specific sectors and market dynamics but generally represent significant hurdles for AI startups.
Essential lie. Look across history, and practically every society in which self-criticism was permitted constantly predicted its own peril. Sometimes, in prescient ways; out of those, sometimes corrective action was taken.
There was a heated discussion about persons that go inside a Dragon [1] and only control the ilumination and music or something. Are they "real" astronauts? Do they deserve the wings pin?

Somebody should just scrape all the most popular images from getty then setup a pipeline to regenerate them with flux/controlnet/loras. Charge $10/mo for unlimited licensing or find ancillary way to generate revenue. If most of revenue comes from editorial images start there-- most people won't even care if it's a bit off.
I've always assumed their add-in board (AIB) partners (like MSI, ASUS, Gigabyte, etc) are able to produce PCBs and other components at higher volumes and lower costs than NVIDIA.

That's still just a conjecture of a meaningful effect. Recruiters are able to change tactics in response you know. You're just naively assuming that those old tactics worked better just because reddit itself changed, but it could very well be the case that the more extreme rhetoric only attracted people who were already extremist and turned off moderates, but a more moderate approach that's now required could funnel more moderate people into an extremist pipeline.

"Off reddit" is just a win for reddit's PR, and that's why they did it, and no other reason and no other effects can be inferred.
> My point is now that even when the clear picture does finally emerge, you have plenty of people still just willing to repeat the falsehood in the belief that "if you repeat it enough, it becomes 'true' enough to enough people." That's what feels different to me, at least in my lifetime.

I understand the structure of your argument but I am not sure I can relate it to things that are happening. Can you give concrete examples?
if you believe that enabling people to easily communicate with each other and access basically the sum total of humanity's knowledge whenever they want is a good thing (ie if you think giving people iPhones so they can message each other and read wikipedia is a good thing), then you can say his work did help with that.

You can also say that Macs have helped many people express themselves creatively (iMovie, Garage Band, Logic, Final Cut...), which you might think is a good thing.
Zuckerberg provided no evidence that the fact checking program actually failed. Fact checkers obviously have their own biases, their program was designed to highlight that and allow for multiple sources. Too much content being fact checked also sounds like a non-problem—perhaps Zuckerberg should reflect why that may be the case instead of outright abandoning fact-checking. Also, it remains to be seen if the community notes program could work outside of the US (likely why they're just doing this in the US now)

This is obviously more about politics than it is about building misinformation-free social networks. The fact that they're blatantly giving up should concern everyone.

It's a topic that is both important and controversial.

People are getting into upvote/downvote wars over comments on the posts. The HN algorithm automatically downranks the posts as likely to drive bad behavior among users. Then someone submits another article about it and the process repeats.
I also use Ollama for coding. I have a 32G M2 Mac, and the models I can run are very useful for coding and debugging, as well as data munging, etc. That said, sometimes I also use Claude Sonnet 3.5 and o1. (BTW, I just published an Ollama book yesterday, so I am a little biassed towards local models.)
Nvidia probably could sell cards directly now, given the strength of their reputation (and the reality backing it up) for graphics, crypto, and AI. However, they grew up as a company that sold through manufacturing and channel partners and that's pretty deeply engrained in their culture. Apple is unusually obsessed with integration, most companies are more like Nvidia.
I knew someone on HN would come along with a poorly-researched and misdirecting "nuh uh".
I challenge you to find another economic system that has worked in history, because it sure isn’t communism if that’s what you’re referencing. This is also aside from the fact that Europe is also a subscriber to capitalism.

America is the most successful country on this earth and we bankroll most of the rest of the world but somehow we’re always the bad guys.

As an American I’d be very happy if my tax dollars stopped getting spent on Europe.
Yes though I'd imagine its harder to secure bonds now that Hochul has shown the governor can unilaterally change the fee on a whim, plus new Federal government is antagonistic to the whole program.

Hochul won NY by a fairly narrow margin historically for the state against a pretty MAGA GOP guy. It's entirely possible some more normal blue state GOP type runs against her, wins and reduces the fee further.

You've misspelled it at least twice so far, otherwise I wouldn't be bothering you about it.
You need to relax a little bit. Maybe if you ate some breakfast you wouldn't be so grumpy.

The point was that you can't escape the need for food. Skipping a meal is not any kind of strategy, unless your plan is to slowly starve yourself to death. I guess if you literally have $0, and no credit card, and your paycheck is tomorrow, and there is zero food in your fridge or your cupboard, and you have no friends that would give you a bite to eat, and there are no soup kitchens near you, then skipping a meal could make sense. Was that your circumstance?

But, if you have 1500 calories in your fridge for today, skipping breakfast and eating 750 for lunch and 750 for dinner is one way to do it. You could also eat 500 for breakfast, 500 for lunch, and 500 for dinner.
Have you considered that the statement is extremely misogynistic and comparing drinks isn't the same as comparing sex between a person and nonliving thing?

It is individual of course. But for example Emanuel Macron and Mario Draghi have sounded the bell quite clearly. As individual citizens we should try to buy European any time there is a European alternative.
The most important option is effectively removed (for poor people) if you reject the whole system, which is to not participate.

Botanic Healthcare draws $30M in fresh round funding
in a short amount of time , commute times will recover to baselines, or worse, the city will waste the additional revenue , the residents will be poorer , and leaders will pat themselves on be back.

Yes. As they're incentivised to "lend" (print) as much money as they can, to obtain the interest, the outcome is that they're encouraged to start wars and fund both sides, because war generates the highest demand for loans. The longer the war lasts, the better.
From where? What internships? What projects? 4.0 GPA is completely meaningless without more details. There are 10 useless GPA mills for each real uni.

I don't want to sound too arrogant but I am a very well-compensated and strong engineer, and I didn't have a 4.0 because I took hard classes and spent too much time on research projects. I was 3.8 or 3.9 or something.

A true 4.0 smells to me. You truly didn't over-reach with a graduate class you weren't prepared for even once?
I went through the interview process at Betterstack a while back: it was extremely straight-forward and very efficient.

Yes, and they willingly served him all the ability to become an authoritarian and handed him power.

Mark could EASILY turn around and say to Trump "you know what, motherfucker? I got you in power, I looked the other way in '16, in '20, and I willingly allowed foreign actors to amplify you and your messaging. I own you. You want to play hardball with me? I'll release EVERYTHING. Watch me".

Trump has a history of wanting to be a dictator, but he also has a history of backing down when people more powerful or wealthier than him have the ability to prove his ass is nothing but a fraud. He once tried to sue his biographer when his biographer claimed he wasn't a billionaire. When the biographer wouldn't back down, Trump was the one to back down when it became clear he would be subject to discovery. Turns out "I'm really a billionaire, believe me!" doesn't really work in a court of law if you can't prove it. Especially when several decades of your taxes won't be released because it would prove what we've known all along - Donald Trump actually sucks at business.
HN submitter shares a post from an X "influencer" showing a video of a post from a LinkedIn "influencer" linking to a WSJ article with a quote from a Berkeley professor about some CS students worried about not getting jobs.

This is a very important point.

In general, Nvidia's relationship with Linux has been... complicated. On the one hand, at least they offer drivers for it. On the other, I have found few more reliable ways to irreparably break a Linux installation than trying to install or upgrade those drivers. They don't seem to prioritize it as a first class citizen, more just tolerate it the bare minimum required to claim it works.

Does your company develop software overseas where legal action is difficult? Or where their ip could be nationalized or secretly stolen? Where network communications are monitored and saved?
The keyboard layout seems perfectly reasonable, and rather common: from top to bottom, the rightmost column of keys after the letters would be backspace, |\, enter, shift, ctrl. On the left, mirrored, you have ~`, tab, caps lock, shift, ctrl. The sizes and shapes match many common keyboard layouts I've seen.

He is literally saying that Texas is less biased:

"Fifth, we're going to move out trust and safety and account moderation teams out of California, and our U.S.-based content review is going to be based in Texas. As we work to promote free expression, I think that will help us build trust to do this work in places where there's less concern about the bias of our teams. Finally, we're going to work with President Trump..."
Thinking about the difference, I wonder if there is a PBT framework that would exploit feedback like fuzzing does, to improve coverage.
My tester could trounce a 2-ply minimax engine easily. At 6 plies with the alpha-beta optimization it beat my tester for the first time (beats the average person, gets wrecked at the chess club but is trying to change that) which frustrated him greatly but after he spent a day thinking about strategy he prevailed. (Without alpha-beta the 6 ply search would have been completely unreasonable)

I got the signs wrong and it managed to fool's mate itself!

I struggled with testing for a while because when it makes bad moves you don't know if you correctly coded a bad chess engine or incorrectly coded a bad chess engine. Eventually I started using chess puzzles

https://www.chessprogramming.org/Test-Positions

which are not unit tests because they take seconds to run, but unlike a real game where there is no right move, there really is a right solution. BK.01 from

is a particularly nice one because it runs quickly!

How is changing "we punish" into "slap on the wrist" while using AI to make it seem like Zelensky said it himself, and on top of that moving this single reply to the very beginning to set the tone _not_ a big deal? Its the book definition of spreading fake AI content.

There is no "slap on the wrist" expression in russian language, there is however "схватить вора за руку" meaning catch the thief red-handed while word for word it goes "grab thief by the hand". When you say in russian 'beat their hands' it means punishment, when you say in English "slap on the wrist" it means no punishment or light reprimand.
From a quick skim, this seems like the interesting part:

> The bureau has found that having medical debt on a credit report is not a good predictor of whether a borrower will repay a loan, and that consumers frequently report receiving inaccurate bills.

If true, then keeping fairly-useless & junk information out of credit reports is a pretty good idea.
> Many tech giants hate getting pushed around by politicians and courts around the world demanding censorship.

They may not like that but they also don't like to take responsibility either.
Edmonton - Vancouver via Nelson sounds like a heck of a route, and 290km is 100kms more than I've ever done in day! I haven't "officially" done the BC Epic (a bit of an oxymoron given it's lack of official-ness, by which I mean I have not left with the grand depart or the entire route in a single ride) but this might be the year. I have family in Kamloops and live in Calgary, so trying to put a plan together to start the day before in Kamloops, bike to Merritt, watch the backs of the amazing racers for an hour before they disappear, meander into Fernie a week later, then keep going to CGY. I am definitely not (and have no interest in) racing but love the speed and... immersion? of bike touring - it's just about perfect.
I've had a similar experience, my Xavier NX stopped working after the last update and now it's just collecting dust. To be honest, I've found the Nvidia SBC to be more of a hassle than it's worth.
The search part really resonates with me. I do a lot of odd/unusual/one-off things for my side projects, and I use LLMs extensively in helping me find a path forward. It's like an infinitely patient, all-knowing expert that pulls together info from any and all domain. Sometimes it will have answers that I am unable to find another way (eg, what's the difference between "busy s..." and "busy p..." AT command response on the esp8285?). It saves me hours of struggle, and I would not want to go back to the old ways.
Once you replace the TOSLINK transmitter with an SFP module, it's not the TOSLINK tx/rx that's being tested but rather the low-bandwidth S/PDIF protocol operating over a high bandwidth SFP link. So it's not really TOSLINK that's being extended but rather S/PDIF over optical fibre. Maybe I'm missing something....
There aren't that many channels with over 5M subscribers. 3Blue1Brown is 706th in the world. It's insane to me that YouTube still doesn't have a manual sanity check for claims against their top ~1000 channels or so. That couldn't possibly cost much, and it would fix a PR problem that hits so often you can use it as a calendar.
>After COVID-19, the US’s financial standing has improved faster than in most other advanced economies thanks to the speed of the country’s economic recovery. According to CBO’s latest forecast, the deficit fell by $1.7 trillion between fiscal years 2021 and 2022, and this is the fastest deficit reduction in history.

The deficit fell by 1.7 trillion because of the expiration of COVID stimulus money. Then it started rising again.

>As the figure shows, the US deficits were higher during the pandemic. CBO’s latest budget projections show that deficits have fallen to 4 percent of GDP and will remain around that level, which is well below the pandemic levels and even below the Administration’s estimates for the FY2023 budget.

The CBO projects budget deficits to explode to 8.5% of GDP by 2054: https://www.cbo.gov/publication/59711

This is an optimistic case. It assumes no new wars, recessions, tax cuts, social programs, and interest rates never climbing above 4%. I just checked, and the 10Y treasury is at 4.681%.

Do you have a blog or other site where you post your writing? Your explanations are quite good and easy to follow for someone like me, an interested/curious onlooker.

You can make up whatever goal you want and succeed or fail at it, that doesn't have any bearing on the vibes-based pricing being how to price things. What you'd need to somehow show is that a) you can even sell the product at that price, and b) that setting the price be higher or lower wouldn't result in greater total profit.

Naturally, you do want to make profit from each sale, but first off, can you, and secondly, how much? If it's something that took years of R&D to develop, then you'll want to amortize that over a longer period of time, and not try and recoup that the instant you have something to sell. If you're dropshipping someone else's product, then you can't price it all that high because your competition is also going to be pricing it with fairly low margins. (Or they're not, and you can undercut them.)

Interestingly, in support of vibes-based pricing, and in direct contraction of Econ 101, sometimes raising the price on something increases it's percieved value, as being too cheap makes it seem like a worse value or lower quality.
This is misguided.

First, you can't "organize labor" to take an iconic photo of a shuttle landing that happened 30 years ago. That is, there is enormous value in their existing library.

Second, decentralized photography is called Instagram, yet those photos aren't worth anything. Instagram has no interest in licensing them. Instead, they monetize around the photo (engagement) and not the photo itself. The real value has been in the content produced by professional photojournalists.

Whether Getty/Shutterstock is a good business is a different topic. They've been around for a long time, despite your claim they are "easily disrupted." You both underestimate the value of indexing (distribution) and mislabel them as being merely an indexer (they protect rights, organize deals, bundle and package, centralize relationships, to name a few).
For me:

* 40 inch 21:9 aspect ratio. 34 is too small and 43 and above are too big

* QHD i.e. 3440 X 1440 resolution - why? Because it renders the programming fonts perfectly - many will complain about pixelation but for me it just seems perfect. This translates to a PPI of approx. 93 which is the same as for a 24 inch FHD monitor. Scaling spoils it for me

* Curve - not too less nor too aggressive - LG OLED is 800R which is way too much - on the other hand 2300R is too less - I think 1800 is ideal

* 60 Hz or more refresh rate

* Accurate color reproduction

* Matte finish / antiglare

Sadly, a curved monitor with the above specs does not exist. The only one as I mentioned is the LG OLED which has a far too aggressive a curve. There are some lesser known brands which come as flat which I currently use but I wish there was one that met all of the above.
Correction: it’s been a feature for at least two years. To our knowledge, Scalene was the first profiler to incorporate LLMs.

The problem with hiring is that there are two sets of stakeholders with different needs. If you cater to the candidates, you miss the needs of the hiring company, and vice versa. Nobody is going to fix hiring by only working on one side of the fence.
When the copyright strike is issued a video is taken offline from the publishers channel.

This isn't just an outsourcing/H1B thing. I think the current H1B rhetoric is partially used as a distraction from a bigger shift: a broad deprioritization of US hiring by US firms.
