That IS the second system (my AI home rig). I've given up on Nvidia for using it on my main computer because of their horrid drivers. I switched to Intel ARC about a month ago and I love it. The only downside is that I have a xeon on my main computer and Intel never really bothered to make ARC compatible with xeons so I had to hack my bios around, hoping I don't mess everything up. Luckily for me, it all went well so now I'm probably one of a dozen or so people worldwide to be running xeons + arc on linux. That said, the fact that I don't have to deal with nvidia's wretched linux drivers does bring a smile to my face.
No, sorry, we're limited to hiring from EU countries.
Fair point. Most of our users are marketers and producers who are familiar with these terms, but we could make it clearer to those who are not in the know. Thanks!
I think a significant problem is that people are confusing facts with truths.

There is only ever one fact, which is immutable as far as the world is concerned. Our ability to perceive facts can change as our ability to do so changes/improves, but the facts themselves will never change. Getting electrocuted is one such very obvious example.

Truths, however, are as numerous as there are people and can even change on a whim. Someone could get electrocuted and that's a fact, but whether he agrees is a different question and his answer is his truth regardless of the fact.

"Fact"-checkers thus are about truth-checking and specifically programming certain truths upon the commons. A Ministry of Truth. The NPC meme isn't far from the mark.

Truths are not facts and facts are not truths. Forcing people to believe, speak, and act in certain ways violates the very basics of human rights.

One of the costs of a free society is that everyone has a right to their own opinion, their own truth. Personally, I believe that cost is more than worth the many benefits of a free society; but that's just my truth and you probably have a different idea.

I found Adam Mastroianni's blog through a HN post titled "How to debog Yourself". Unlike another pop-sci articles, this one had actual depth and enjoyed reading it.

Since then, I've read and digested most of his posts and comments. He usually writes about human behavior, not really offering the solutions, but the reasons.

He is the one author I've screenshot-ed most in 2024. I'd recommend starting with this post:

>Did we read the same book?

Yes, and the engineered factory humans is part of the dystopian point it makes. The dehumanization begins at that, it's not just the soma.

Which is also why the normally born people (in the wildling "reservation"), the regular aging, the regular pregancy, are also in the book as a antithesis to the dystopian society (but one which they can not belong as outsiders, like we can't be "natives", only LARP it).
I am European and I live in the UK, so I don't think I have voted my way out of anything unfortunately. Also I don't care about white, my own children are not white. I care about the core values and principles of the Western world and to preserve them. It doesn't matter what people look like as long as we all believe and share the same values and principles that have made Western countries the great nations they have been.

Freedom of speech, freedom of expression, no blasphemy laws, equality of opportunity, not being afraid of having difficult debates and conversations and to say uncomfortable things if we believe them to be true, etc. etc.

Those are the foundations of a progressive society. What we have seen in recent years is the opposite of it.
Actually it does mean lower quality --> Lack of competition means that the product quality typically suffers as a result of rent seeking behavior.
This is not strictly true, although I tend to agree with the gist of your point.

Let's presume that you add to special tokens to your vocabulary: 
 and 
. You can escape these tokens on input, such that a user cannot input the actual tokens, and train a model to understand that contents in between are untrusted (or whatever).

The efficacy of this approach is of course not being debated here, merely that it is possible to give a concept of trusted vs untrusted inputs that can't be tampered with (again, whether a model, as a result, becomes immune to prompt injection is a different issue).
Stock images only have okay pricing (per image) if you use some sort of decently sized subscription. Anyone that only needs a few images are unfortunately screwed.

The idea that there is some official governing body that has access to undisputable facts and they have the power to designate what you or I or anyone else can talk about is preposterous and, frankly, anyone on a site called Hacker News should be ashamed for supporting it.

My friends and I have made it a practice to job hop every few years to optimize our total compensation. Over time, we’ve gathered a wealth of real-world experience on how to effectively negotiate with hiring managers and recruiters to secure higher offers.

We’re now compiling these strategies into a book, and we think it could be a valuable resource for others navigating their own career negotiations.

As we’re still in the drafting phase, we’d love your feedback! What negotiation topics or challenges would you like us to cover in detail? If there’s enough interest, we’ll make sure to include them.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

> I sure wished I held some Nvidia stocks

I’m so tired of this recent obsession with the stock market. Now that retail is deeply invested it is tainting everything, like here on a technology forum. I don’t remember people mentioning Apple stock every time Steve Jobs made an announcement in the past decades. Nowadays it seems everyone is invested in Nvidia and just want the stock to go up, and every product announcement is a mean to that end. I really hope we get a crash so that we can get back to a more sane relation with companies and their products.
The Great Crypto Crash
Starting around 2000, Intel tried to make money via attempts at everything but making a better product (pushing RAMBUS RAM, itanium, cripling low-end chips more than they needed to be, focusing more on keeping chip manufacturing in-house thereby losing out on economy of scale). The result was engineers were (not always, but too often) nowhere near the forefront of technology. Now AMD, NVIDIA, ARM are all chipping away (pun intended).

It's not dissimilar to what happened to Boeing. I'm a capitalist, but the current accounting laws (in particular corporate taxation rules) mean that all companies are pushed to use money for stock buybacks than R&D (which Intel spent more on the former over the latter over the past decade and I'm watching Apple stagnate before my eyes).
This is my conspiracy theory but this is all in preparation for the end of Section 230 which will also inadvertently kill Blue Sky.
This.

You can't get high frame rates with path tracing and 4K. It just doesn't happen.
You need to enable DLSS and frame gen to get 100fps with more complete ray and path tracing implementations.

People might be getting upset because the 4090 is WAY more power than games need, but there are games that try and make use of that power and are actually limited by the 4090.

Case in point Cyberpunk and Indiana Jones with path tracing don't get anywhere near 100FPS with native resolution.

Now many might say that's just a ridiculous ask, but that's what GP was talking about here. There's no way you'd get more than 10-15fps (if that) with path tracing at 8K.

I agree. At the very least, it's using Trump as cover.

That said, if they remove the political filter, they're opening the door for all discussion (even from the left).

Of course, they could surreptitiously filter out the left. Hell, why not?
There's no neutrality against fascism.
>People were similarly apprehensive about IVF

And rightly so. It's used as a patch for many social issues (like declining fertility and careerism).
> I'm curious, what are HN's opinions around community notes on X/Twitter?

I notice that there are influence groups who are trying to play them, but so far I haven't seen them be successful. I see tons of proposed notes from certain groups but rarely do I see them actually be shown on X, so I guess it is robust in a way.

The main place it doesn't work is on popular polarizing accounts. For example, generally the followers of Elon Musk like him so if you try to correct him there, a bunch of his followers will just say the note is wrong even if it isn't, they vote out of loyalty to Elon. So polarizing large popular accounts generally cannot be community noted. Same applies to most political leaders.

So community notes is for correcting plebeians, not for the patricians.
I don't think it's a matter of experience, it's a matter of belief. I just engaged someone who was adamant that someone who said "Q is legit" and "It's okay to be white" doesn't have necessarily have a right wing drift because if you take the reasonable out of reasonable doubt, you can always doubt something.

Exposure to many viewpoints, including wrong ones, provides a counterbalancing effect. When you actively try and suppress information you create a “forbidden knowledge” effect where people seek out silos where extreme and wrongheaded information gets passed without the “sunlight is the best disinfectant”—-it grows faster…becomes more wrong, more extreme, and more dangerous.

Seems to me in my experience after decades of watching and participating in online discussion extremism really only became more problematic when fact checking and active efforts to suppress took hold. Whatever the good intentions may have been, the results were worse.
Who's forcing what? They are just inspired by it, at least that's what the comment you are replying to is saying. If a private corporation wants to support or enable free speech, they are allowed to, just like you said. This is literally from Facebook itself so I'm not sure who is compelling who.
Zuckerberg has a point but not a solution.

We do need to be able to discuss divisive topics on social media, and any single organization determining truth faces an impossible challenge. We shouldn't rely on the goodwill of Meta or the government as the basis for our trust on social media.

Community notes-style systems are... similar. Instead of a single group of people, we rely on a single algorithm/system to determine truth. At a minimum, such a system NEEDS to be open source. But even if it is, I seriously doubt any one algorithm will ever give us the low-effort high-accuracy truth heuristic we desperately need.

We need better models of trust/truth that support a rich ecosystem of personalized approximations of whether to trust or believe something.
Ultimately: It can take some time for community notes to correct misinfo posts; by the time community notes gets to it, the firehose has ten more misinfo posts community notes needs to fix, the people who saw the original post rarely see the community notes correction, and given the algo has a massive temporal bias the original post was probably on the way out of new viewers feeds anyway.

Its a good system that should exist. It could probably be made better by finding any way to help it act faster (e.g. the moment a post is even in the process of community notes voting, attach a temporary banner like "The Community Notes people has suspicions about this post, it might be misinfo, we're doing our research").
That's a great point -- in addition, some facts are less consequential than others. For example, if I go around believing that the Earth is five-thousand years old, it may not affect me negatively at all (unless I'm a geologist or archeologist), in contrast to your electrical wiring fact that would have immediate effect.

The biggest turning point for the worse and for the better was not having a good stable home life.

I am not saying you have to be in a relationship to have stability. Of course it’s better to be single than being involved in a bad relationship.

Looking back, what really started things going bad was a lack of self confidence and wanting to be in a relationship.

I was a short computer geek, kind of awkward. I got better. Now I’m very comfortable talking to anyone. It’s my $Dayjob.

Ironically enough though, I had no trouble being in front of people at 28 and had been a part time fitness instructor for 3 years by then as hobby. I was in great shape.

I met someone who was physically attractive and was interested in me after being friendzoned all of my adult life. I got married and I should have seen the signs.

That led to everything else that happened for the next 6 years - staying at a job too long, getting too heavily invested in real estate trying to make more money, stagnating both technically and financially. Got divorced at 32.

At 34, in 2008 around the time of the real estate crash, I just had to accept the fact that everything I had done up to that point was a waste and be comfortable starting over from scratch.

I got ready to interview after being at my second job for over 9 years and did a vertical move to another job that would let me get some real world experience with an in demand language - C# and the startup was working with ruggedized mobile devices right when smart phones were taking off.

I wasn’t trying to date anyone at that time and my now wife had to basically shove her number at me once we had been working together for over two years. She was in another department. I told her all of the shit I was going through at the time with my real estate and she was still interested.

We both got laid off when the company went out of business and she got a job quickly that had benefits and I got a good paying contract without benefits. I proposed to her while I was working as a contractor with the plan for us to get married after I got a permanent job.

She suggested we get married sooner so I could be on her benefits. That arrangement kept until 2020 when I was 46. It allowed me the freedom to jump back and forth between full time and contract jobs to build my resume.

In 2020, as a direct result of me being able to aggressively job hop, a remote position at AWS (Professional Services) fell into my lap in 2020.

The difference between what I was making pre-AWS and post AWS was 3x what she was making. But there is a direct line from her supporting my career to me being able to do that.

I have no problem with my wife not working so she can pursue what she wants. It gives us a chance to travel like crazy and it’s not like my life is stressful once I left AWS.
You have gotten to the heart of the matter. Well done, indeed, sir/madam!
The main edge Nvidia has in gaming is ray tracing performance. I'm not playing any RT heavy titles and frame gen being a mixed bag is why I saved my coin and got a 7900 XTX.
I value my time more highly than that. I am quite happy to pay someone else to save me that labour.

Secondly, frozen fries aren't just sliced potatoes. They're a potato that is very precisely bred and grown specifically to make fries that is then blanched, coated in a specific mix of starches and part fried. Unless you're Heston Blumenthal, you aren't going to re-create that product in your own kitchen.
Wikipedia is an improvement, but its still below the standards and methods that are accessible to humans. If you are an expert, you will hate the Wikipedia articles about your field and still be helpless because the garbage in there is referencing some guy who wrote a badly-researched book in 2001.
They also allow the scammiest ads for products that are 100% obvious frauds - pure distilled snake oil. It really brings meta’s image to the dirt. They’re like an online super market tabloid these days.
And if these 50-series specs are anything to go by, they made a good call in doing so. All the big improvements are coming in mid-range cards, where AMD, nVidia, and Intel(!) are trading blows.

If the only way to get better raw frames in modern GPUs is to basically keep shoveling power into them like an old Pentium 4, then that’s not exactly an enticing or profitable space to be in. Best leave that to nVidia and focus your efforts on a competitive segment where cost and efficiency are more important.
Information is now relegated by the anointed as a weapon us peons are too stupid or naive to weild.

You are correct, but that just means your opinion offends the anointed, and thus is similarly buried.

If you want the mirror the OpAmp distortion from the original units for authenticity/character, it makes sense to use the TL071, no?
This exactly mirrors my thoughts, although I don't work in your field. One quote:

"For example, in December 2024, we removed millions of pieces of content every day. While these actions account for less than 1% of content produced every day, we think one to two out of every 10 of these actions may have been mistakes (i.e., the content may not have actually violated our policies)."

That is first order data and it's interesting. However, before making policy decisions, I would want the second order data: what is the human cost of those mistakes, and what percentage of policy-violating content will not be removed as a result of these changes? Finally, what's the cost of not removing that percentage?

For that matter, by talking about the percentage of active mistakes without saying how many policy violations are currently missed, you're framing the debate in a certain direction.
Now remind us what HW did we need to run local inference of llama2-69B (July, 2023)? And then contrast it to the HW we need to run llama3.1-70B (July, 2024)? In particular, which optimizations and in what way did they dramatically cut down the cost of the inference?

I seriously don't get this argument and I see it being repeated all over and over again. Although model possibilities are increasing, no doubt in that, HW costs for inference remained the same and they're mostly driven by the amount of (V)RAM you need.
