I've run into tons of optimizer bugs. While it's possible they would require the exact hardware to reproduce them, that has never been the case. Generally you just need something to run the actual output of the optimizer. You can even reproduce the bugs in emulators, it just takes way longer.

Most optimizer bugs are about the optimizer making assumptions about properties of the source code, not assumptions about properties of the hardware. Certainly it can go both ways, but of course you want to test the actual output of the optimizer. Doing otherwise is not at all what I'd call standard practice.
Honestly, this is what I want bing's 'homepage' to look like and I usually configure it to be as close to that as I can. The default was/is a ton of news and other junk. I just want a search bar and maybe an identifier picture. It was one of the things I liked when google first came out. It was 'simple' as many of the other search engines from years ago had tons of 'helpful' things on the front page that I just did not want.
Nobody is forcing anyone to do anything.

Meta, as a large and powerful entity with the ability to censor as much or more than many governments, is opting to allow free speech on its platforms. So is X. That spirit is inspired by the Bill of Rights, not Elon Musk.

I doubt it’s that coördinated. More likely: researchers respond to funders who really want to see a particular outcome. Nobody goes in aiming to be corrupt. But as a system it winds up being.
Do they? Food stamps in most states have restrictions on what you can buy with them. My impression is soda is not on the list. Of course this is (mostly?) the states and every state has different rules so you probably need to cite 50 different state rules to verify this and thus an exception state is likely.
Text works ok for me (you also can zoom in iOS Safari in the "tab menu" bar button!), but I've definitely downvoted things I've been meaning to upvote when reading on a shaky bus/train.
I have a longtime dislike for Microsoft but google has become almost unusable recently with fake ai pages filling the results, and Bing seems to work better.
India has even higher cases of diabetes and heart disease. I think their diet is quite different than America.
> there is a huge difference between a belief and a fact.

What if a fact is disputed? Do you not have to choose which fact to believe?

Gestalting between two disputed facts is the basis for scientific revolutions.

Ptolemaic astronomers certainly had a belief that epicycles were "fact" and made every non-scientific attempt to destroy heliocentrism. Only when enough people didn't _believe_ in that "fact" did we evolve to better understanding.

You can say "these were not facts and were just flawed observations", but you'll ignore that Ptolemaics _said_ these ideas were facts and had strong evidence and a belief that it really was.

This model can be applied over and over again to many domains. This isn't my idea, rather it comes from the seminal work "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions" by TS Kuhn.

So, no, there is not a bold line between belief and fact. We choose what facts to believe.
Maybe because its New York but spending $820 a month if its a startup seems outrageous. You can accomplish the same thing locally for a quarter of that price. I could see if you are an insurance agent, an accountant or a lawyer it might be viewed as more reasonable.
Here, the law flows from the moral judgment that there’s a fundamental distinction between action and inaction. Otherwise, you’d be morally culpable for not basically enslaving ourself to helping whenever happens to be the poorest.
>I personally think mass scale tobacco and soda should not be sold, at the same time I think people can hand roll and pack a pipe into the grave. Same for their at home bathtub soda.

I'd be fine with that to be honest. I'd drink soda water going forward just to not have to smell cigarettes, but be fine with people backyarding some tobacco to make their own cigars.

It would probably even be healthier to force people to make their own syrup for soda at home vs the ease of obtaining it now.

In this strong form, this is excellent advice for someone who is not me and is not doing what I am doing.

I live in a third-world country where importing chips from abroad is expensive, unreliable, slow, and sometimes dangerous. There are circuits I cannot build because I cannot get the very specialized parts they need. Obviously a linear power supply that can measure how much current it's supplying is not such a circuit, unless you have very stringent precision requirements.

It would be to my benefit to figure out a relatively small set of parts I can buy, ahead of time, in bulk, to cover a wide range of possible circuits. Better still if they're so popular that local distributors have them in stock. An analog comparator probably needs to be in that set. A chip specialized for current measuring probably does not.

If you're designing a product for mass production that needs to be competitive in the market, you can't do it that way. Super-specialized parts will always have better performance, and usually better price/performance than overpowered general-purpose parts. (Also, you need to live in Shenzhen.) But hobbyists have other priorities.
Finally!

First product that directly competes on price with Macs for local inferencing of large LLMs (higher RAM). And likely outperforms them substantially.

Definitely will upgrade my home LLM server if specs bear out.
It would be hilarious is somehow Elon/X claimed some kind of ownership or trademark or patent on the model.
The docks we have around here at work all use Displaylink chips. So it would work if the phone had the (software) Displaylink driver, no Displayport video capability required on the USB-C port. But I'm guessing that's unlikely.
Meh, this just seems like low signal chicken littling. You could say the same thing about typing sensitive info into Notes.app or even iOS about how the evil corporations will monetize it and how naive you'd be to do it. But that didn't pan out.

Feel free to pass over useful tech, but no need to disparage others for not wearing your tinfoil hat.
"fact-checkers were authoritative source of the truth"

There is no such thing. If your understanding of truth is so flat, you're incredibly ignorant and dangerously foolish. Biases, perception, and propaganda influence the "truth" you see in the world. And no one is immune to it. Even large groups of very smart people are not immune to it. In fact they're even more often prone to groupthink.
I started a new job where I have to use windows, and more than once I didn’t realize I was using bing until I went to turn on verbatim and it wasn’t an option.

Side note, I miss search engines from 20 years ago, I can’t believe it’s gotten this bad.
Sure, but it's the same thing in 10x fewer words. Having parametric generic types that accept constraints allows your functions to have the best of all worlds.

So a language _with_ that is superior. All zig needs to do is add some way to allow for constraints.
No, I'm still talking about prompt injection (and other more-normal reliability issues), because I do not believe LLMs are some inevitable stepping stone to an actual AI, one that has "alignment" to principles or goals beyond "what additional token completes this document the best." (Robot characters humans perceive when reading the document are not the author of the document.)

For any technology or product, there are issues which can be ignored or downplayed in the name of profit today, but they tend to pop up eventually. That's why it's very hard to buy leaded gasoline anymore, and the joke about how the "S" stands for "Security" in the term "IoT".
The more experienced the engineer the less CSS is on the page. This seems to be a universal truth, I want to learn from these people - but my goodness, but could we at least use margins to center content.
Of course you can sue Wikipedia. There's no law against suing Wikipedia.
The Great(est) Command(ment) is to love God with all our being, and then to love our neighbors as ourself, not more, not less.

Being kind, generous, forgiving, helpful, and compassionate are some of the ways we can love people, and should, in order to be a good person who reaps happiness in their life. God does not force us to do this, and freely allows us to choose each virtue's corresponding vice, if we wish, instead.

God would, however, prefer us to treat each other well and form loving societies, but our ignorance of what good even is, as well as or selfishnesses that rebel against lovingly curious attitudes and behaviors, are preventing our moving towards such positive self-evolution.

We all have the choice to embark on becoming filled with love towards each other; a person does not need God's help to choose to be good by embracing a more virtuous life that cares for others, but the Creator just might be essential for our becoming actually transformed into a really, really good person. In fact, connecting with the Ultimate Loner just might be an integral part of what is possible in the human experience.

And I'm using "just might" as a big ol' hint that that is actually the truth of our reality, which is exactly what it is, my friends.

The choice to seek, learn, and believe the truth is everyone's human right. We each exercise that right every moment of every day, for good or ill, in loving care or selfish callousness.

Getting a push notification or just seeing a little red badge makes me optimize for "be the first to answer". Seeing responses in a polling/async way means I can take a breath, read others' answers, and only respond if somebody else hasn't made the same point already anyway.
most of those things are actually not verifiable measurable facts within any useful definition
Without some sort of controls in place, fact-checking becomes useless because it's subject to being gamed by those with the most time on their hands and/or malicious tools, e.g. bots and sock puppets.

Hmmm, it occurred to me, I'm sitting in front of a laptop connected to a (power delivery) USB-C dock. So unplugged the laptop and plugged the cable into my phone instead (very basic, Moto G Play 2023). What happened? Almost nothing! The phone reported an audio output device, but did not charge, and the keyboard and mouse plugged into the dock did not get recognized either. Not encouraging.
If you’re going to attempt to be pedantic, can you at least work on basic reading comprehension?

The concept of a large and powerful entity allowing free speech is in the spirit of the Bill of Rights, whether the large and powerful entity is government or not.

The parent poster was taking the position that allowing speech is somehow a Musk-derived idea, which is absurd.

> It's good to see more studies come on this but it's not exactly news. Researchers have known for quite some time now

A growing body of studies signals consensus - that’s newsworthy. This ties two specific factors together rather than any general metabolic syndrome.
Some more modern examples:

Gun Control Legislation (e.g., Background Checks, 2013)

After the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, polls showed overwhelming public support (over 80%) for universal background checks. Congress failed to pass significant gun control measures despite this broad consensus.

Net Neutrality Repeal (2017)

Public opinion polls showed strong bipartisan support for net neutrality regulations. Despite this, Congress and the FCC rolled back these protections, prioritizing telecom industry interests.

Affordable Care Act (ACA) Repeal Attempts (2017)

Repeated attempts by Congress to repeal the ACA (Obamacare) were made despite consistent public support for key provisions like protections for pre-existing conditions.

Stock Trading by Members of Congress

Polls show overwhelming public support (around 70-75%) for banning members of Congress from trading individual stocks due to conflict-of-interest concerns. Yet, no significant legislation has passed to address this issue.
Of these, half of the founders came to the US for university[1] (25% of all unicorns). That would be a pretty wealthy or non-representative group to begin with, since international tuition is very expensive, no? As a whole, immigrants have higher poverty rates in the US than native-born residents[2], which is also an interesting data point to juxtapose with this.

One of my previous jobs involved coding on a media processor. That processor had a direct-mapped cache, so code size and layout mattered. Ideally, you wanted the performance-critical code to fit in the cache and be in different cache lines to avoid thrashing.

You can disable it entirely apparently. I just checked the settings on Bing and there is a "Copilot response on result page" which can simply be turned off.

That one good thing about Microsoft, they aren't afraid of offering the users settings.
Show HN: Max Deduct – Bookkeeping for Solopreneurs
Hi all. I'm Ersin, founder of Max Deduct. It's an AI-powered bookkeeping SaaS for solopreneurs and side hustles.

I got tired of overpriced bookkeeping services like Bench (RIP) and accounting software like QuickBooks that practically demands you become a CPA in order to use it.

What sets Max Deduct apart:

- Manage multiple businesses/gigs at a time
- Calculate depreciation on assets
- AI auto categorizes your transactions

I launched in December, I'm curious if there's interest in me continuing development.

Would love to hear what y'all need in bookkeeping!
Nothing can keep me on Bing unless the results improve. Or am I the only one who regularily gives Bing a try only to find out the results are irrelevant?
This is so desperate I feel bad for them
DuckDuckGo has served me pretty well for the past couple of years.

Also, their AI offering duck.ai is pretty solid as well.
We don’t. People are social. We care about what the people in our community think, whether it’s factually accurate or not is inconsequential. Those of us wasting our lives arguing on the internet in the pursuit of truth are a tiny minority of atypical people. People yearn for the warm embrace of affirmation, not the cold hard truth challenging them at every turn.
Really? As shitty as Google can be these days, I and many others should prefer using a heavily redacted, controlled, essentially censored AI filter that gives me its results as a summary of what it got from the content that search engines often use anyhow, but with the possibility for random hallucinations right in the summary, and simply refusing to answer certain questions on what some corporate PR drones deemed "controversial" subject matter?

No thanks. Google may suck but at least it and similar platforms can lead me to random interesting links like Reddit and forum threads where actual humans give their human input on X or Y regardless of its nature.

It would still break if you need to modify that output in any way. Need to add a class for styling? The snapshot breaks. Need to add a new hx-attribute? The snapshot breaks. It's not tied to the logic, it's tied to whatever markup you output. You've reduced the surface area of the problem, but not eliminated it.

You're so close to getting it.
The nVidia price is closer (USD 3k) to a top Mac mini but I trust Apple more for the end-to-end support from hardware to apps than nVidia. Not an Apple fanboy but an user/dev, and I don't think we realize what Apple really achieved, industrially speaking. The M1 was launched in late 2020.

Fwiw, we have other mechanisms for limiting taxis and Uber. We can actually put a hard limit on the number allowed to operate.

This ends up being a little awkward since Uber charges market prices, so what happens when the number of Uber drivers is capped is _Uber_ pockets the congestion fee instead of the city. But the taxi lobby is strong and we can't fix everything at once
Training data gets mired in expensive and they need constant input otherwise the AI‘s knowledge is outdated
What you're talking about is statistics. Statistics are not irrefutable facts. They're data points from a report, and they are often incredibly easy to manipulate depending on how the macro is assessed. Usually it's impossible to gather stats over large, complex, chaotic populations. Instead samples are taken and applied to the whole and interpolated in-between. And in that interpolation an incredible amount of manipulation and even pure laziness is possible. It's possible to misrepresent the error bars of your conclusion. It's possible to leave out important details. It's possible to be selective about your time frame. There are a myriad of ways to mess up or screw up statistics. The more chaotic the system, the more difficult it is.
Just to clarify metabolic syndrome isn't the umbrella term for all of these things.

Metabolic syndrome is when you have 3 or more of: central adiposity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high triglycerides and low HDL.

You can have any of these independently, it becomes metabolic syndrome when you hit the bingo.

I feel like this is only true for people who happened to luck out with slightly overpowered hardware in very specific time periods.

As someone who used pretty average hardware in the windows 98/2000/xp era as a teenager even a low end modern laptop with an ssd running Windows 10/11/KDE/Gnome/Whatever is massively more responsive even running supposedly bloated webapps like vscode or slack.

I don't think I disagree with anything you said (though I'm hesitant to call myself creative).

I guess when I say "empathy", I also mean "feeling someone's pain", in addition to the "someone else's shoes".

I think being able to understand someone's situation, and see how they're actually hurting, and how you'd hurt if someone did that to you, is the part of empathy/kindness that is a key ingredient in being a "decent human". I'm not perfect at it, obviously, I've acted selfishly plenty of times and I regret the times that I have, but it's the closest thing I have to a "moral code".

In regards to this kid, I just remember how angry I was at everything when I was 17. I hated going to school, I hated most of my teachers, I hated most of my classmates, I hated girls who wouldn't date me, and I hated guys who wouldn't be my friend. I was an idiot. It's a tough age for anyone, and I think a lot of people (particularly those in charge the US penal codes) forget that fact.
