Re: 2 — for the same reason that you shouldn't host your site's status page on the same infrastructure that hosts your site (if people want to see your status page, that probably means your infra is broken), I would guess that OpenAI think that if you're looking at the support docs, it might be because the AI service is currently broken.

If nobody cared, art would not exists. Nobody would do science. Civilisations would not be built. Health care would not exists. And nobody enjoys living in a shit hole. People collectively do make decisions which are selfless, so long they know there is a positive outcome. People stop caring about something soon as they recognise their efforts is wasted or it's all for nothing.
For years people have dogged on North Korea, Iran, China and Russia talking about how the government controls information by banning apps and by creating firewalls blocking access to parts of the internet. Now when the US introduces censorship people like you welcome it with open arms. Something of value is lost, our ability to access information freely
> I don't think the current "AI" is special in any way

As someone who loves to pour ice water on AI hype, I have to say: you can't be serious.

The current AI tech has opened up paths to develop applications that were impossible just a few years ago. Even if the tech freezes in place, I think it will yield substantial economic value in the coming years.

It's very different from crypto, the main use case for which appears to be money laundering.
Someone briefly left a comment here saying this summary was inaccurate, because of news reporting about Hamas having accepted ceasefire terms in May. I understand the confusion.

At the end of April (iirc), Israel agreed to a set of terms; Qatar and Egypt then gave Hamas a different set of terms, which Israel hadn't agreed to. Note that stories about Hamas "accepting" a ceasefire date from May 6th. The terms today are the same as those of May 27th.

If it helps, it seems like it wouldn't be worth arguing, and easy to stipulate, that Hamas had accepted ceasefire terms prior to May 27th. You could say that the Qatar switcheroo never happened, and it was Israel being intransigent up to that point. That's not the reporting I read, but fine, ok. The only point my comment makes is that the terms they received on May 27th were ultimately the ones they ended up accepting. Given that: they should have accepted on May 27th.
The irony is that the CEO is essentially blaming the employees in this case without listening and figuring out what the actual problem is.
Like listening to “Lose Yourself” before every major interview. :)
> Short sellers taking positions and then putting out report and marketing to bring a company’s price down can also be perceived as market manipulation.

Sure, in the same sense that releasing a 10-K can be perceived as market manipulation. In fact, if we define "market manipulation" to mean anything that might affect the market, many things can be perceived as market manipulation!

The question I think is more important is, is it bad? Sharing investment information you believe to be true and material to investors seems good to me.
privacy for machine learning to be locally usable besides a chat interface in a meaningful way I would have to give it access to pretty much all my digital data

This doesn’t surprise me in the slightest.

Most of my investing is just in passive S&P index funds, but I do occasionally buy individual shares.

Sometimes I make decent money, sometimes I lose money…turns out I consistently do worse than the S&P long term.

I treat buying individual shares as yuppie gambling at this point. It can be fun, but it’s usually a bad strategy.
Yes, thanks for posting it!
H1B is a pain-in-the-ass, plain and simple. It’s designed to hoard a particularly talented and desperate group of people willing to do anything to get into the US and work in big tech.

After the Twitter saga, two of my acquaintances had to leave the US after being sacked. The H1B is tied to your job, and switching employers is incredibly stressful since you need to find someone willing to sponsor you.

If you’re aiming to stay in the US permanently, the path to a green card and eventual citizenship is just as thorny. Many people go there on an H1B, work in big tech, buy houses, get fired, and often leave the US in shambles.

Countries like Germany, Finland, and the Netherlands handle this visa process better. If you work in tech, you get a Blue Card that transitions into a green card in three years, and then you can apply for citizenship after five. After a year, your visa is no longer tied to your employer, so you can switch jobs. But these countries suffer from bureaucracy and extreme language fragmentation. It’s hard to get excited about learning German and joining a local tech company for peanuts in salary.
But the argument was that your average peasant would not be able to understand the scripture and be deceived.

Not that different from arguing that your average American can’t see through propaganda on TikTok - I think they can.

And if the argument is that it’s addictive, I mean ok? Lots of things are addictive that aren’t severely harmful. We tolerate those as well.

The argument about teens is an entirely different one, I’m talking about adults.

> It would be nice to see people let go of past injustices on both sides long enough to have a lasting peace

It's not past injustices. Israel is occupying, annexing and settling more land now. It's not some tit-for-tat between neighbours over past wrongs, it's one neighbour that is chasing away the other to take their house.
Thanks anyway, this is still interesting.

Hamas accepted the deal back in May, but then Netanyahu refused to sign the deal, and revised it into a form that was no longer acceptable.
another approach would be to take it easy and lead by good example.
Thank you. The key difference I see is in how visibility is handled. On PH, the system tends to favor products that already have strong user base or team that can mobilize a lot of votes quickly, which can sometimes overshadow smaller, independent makers who don't have the same resources.

Here, the goal is to limit the number of launches per day and the number of votes per user. The under radar feature also gives products a second chance if they don't get enough attention on their launch day, ensuring that timing is not the only factor in success.

I do believe that some level of community support will always play a role, but I hope this system makes it easier for products to get a fair shot even without massive voting power behind them.

Thanks for raising this point, it's something I'm constantly thinking about as the platform grows.
OrbStack has been great. I'm not affiliated with them but a happy customer. They've had issues where an update broke them in very _weird_ ways, but I've been very impressed with their support engineers on this.

I've even had a situation where the support engineer jumped on a call with me to see the repro as it was a very specific/hard to share a simple repro situation.
Calfire doesn't own the larger aircraft, they lease them from providers that can move them around throughout the year, to wherever the current fire season is. This is far more cost effective, as the equipment doesn't have to sit idle in the off season, and the crew can keep current without expensive practice runs.
And kind of a poor choice of words, since what they "did for gaming" recently is abandon what made them a powerhouse company to begin with on some new adventure of borderline scam chasing
Uh…don't go on rabbit holes or the internet? I don't know, it's 11:45 PM here. Also, be able to tell when you're tired.
It seems like an approach that begs to be gamed, though. Country A bans something, Country B reciprocally bans the something. Years later, Country B realizes it's at a severe disadvantage because County A has hoarded all the something and now there's a something shortage in Country B that was planned and executed by a Country A.

Obviously not probably an issue with social networks, but mindlessly banning something just because somebody else banned something seems like a recipe to be tricked.
Unlikely, unless one of the combatants has a major economic collapse. Which, I mean, pulling support from Ukraine would do it, but personally I don't consider that an acceptable outcome.
Can you elaborate on the direct socket allocations?
Yeah, I guess that’s what I really meant.

Also at face value, it may seem like “an hour of engineering time,” but I think cloud vendor lock in is real unless you try very hard to only use abstract constructs.
> substantially similar investment

They actually use the word 'identical' instead of 'similar', if that matters. It seems to be a grey area with ETFs, and I'm not a financial advisor, so won't make any further claims.

> You might want to talk to your tax accountant.

Absolutely agreed. You can also just let a reputable robo do it for you if you don't have the time or energy for it, there are multiple. It is what I ended up doing. It's modest but every bit helps.
I think what you’re getting at could be addressed a few way. One is explainability — and with an llm you can ask it to tell you why it chose one or the other.

That’s not practical for a lot of applications, but it can do it.

For the cross encoder I trained, I have a pretty good idea what similar means because I created a semi-synthetic dataset that has variants based on 4 types of similarity.

Perhaps not a perfect solution when you’re really trying to split hairs about what is more similar between texts that are all pretty similar, but not all applications need that level of specificity either.
In principle yes. The implementation however is rarely defined (if you have examples, feel free to share). In my experience it's by choice that companies use compliance to turn their dev environments into a micromanaged hell that engineers hate working in (our company went through multiple compliance certifications including SOC1 and SOC2).
And that's only one of his accents. The man is a chameleon.
I can see this both ways. For the sake of argument, please explain why using IP to train an AI is evil, but using the same IP to train a human is good.

Note that humans use someone else's IP to get rich all the time. E.g. Doctors reading medical textbooks.
If companies hire for culture fit more than a particular set of skills and they prefer h1b workers eventually that is the culture fit.

Their signing key was revoked by apple. Unclear if this is by accident or in response for something. But the downstream effect is that it breaks updates.
First thought that popped into my head.
Very long history I suggest you look into, because it's very interesting, but the oversimplified explaination:

after WW2, there was very obviously inflation. It was crazy in the EU and Japan, but the US still experienced some too. To fight this, the government made a then-common tactic of wage controls: basically cap off the maximum amount an employer can compensate workers, in order to fight the inflation spiral.

But there was an imporant exemption. This was only on wages and not any benefits given to employees in order to try and quell the inevitably angry employees. So when companies couldn't attract talent with more money, they offered more benefits. including employer sponsored healthcare. Perfect since these contributions were free from income tax.

And the modeled spiraled from there. a tax code passed in 1954 to let these contributions be business expenses, Medicaid came in the 60's, etc. It was great back then, but it was getting more expensive to navigate and companies started compromising to manage it. up to our favorite healthcare starting its vertical integration 20 years ago to come into what we know them for today.
The side that isn't allowed concrete built the biggest tunnel system in the world. Instead of building schools, libraries, hospitals they chose to build a terror tunnel system larger than the British Underground.

There is plenty of food if you actually look at the trucks of food waiting to be distributed. The side that is fighting without food is doing that because their food is being stolen and used to recruit more terrorists.
That could be one.

But I was referring to the possibility that it’s energetically impractical to ever get out of the solar system (or even travel within our solar system) in a way that any human is likely to ever want to do it. (Aka no FTL, or even near light speed)

And this likely applies to anything we’d call ‘life’ too.

And that time is actually one way, so no do overs, and no time travel. (Either because of the 2nd law of thermodynamics, or the 2nd law is an effect of this!)

If we accepted that, it would kill what - 95% of all Sci-fi ever?
I'm not trying to say if it is better or worse. Perhaps a better phrasing is "Israel has solidified another 2 generations of hatred by how they prosecuted the war." Leveling a country, killing and maiming as many as they did, the indiscriminate nature and war crimes, these things worked against their stated goals in the long-term
How does this handle force pushes and stacked PRs?
> The Jews abide by the plan, declare Israel when the British mandate ends.

There is a lot to say about this part, but just one point: the plan included the establishment of a Palestinian state which Israel has blocked since its inception. So no, they did not abide by the plan. The plan has never been implemented.
Star tacs don't work anymore, of course. Any alternative?

My point was that if you knew nothing about racism or wokism, you'd conclude from the article that wokism was a huge problem and racism a relatively minor one. Which may or may not be PG's actual opinion, but that's the clear impression that the article makes.

I personally find it preposterous that language policing by universities and social media sites (and virtually all of his criticism is about that aspect of wokism, and not affirmative action) is somehow worse than systematically jailing millions of people and denying them economic opportunities out of bigotry. But even if you think it is, the article doesn't even attempt to make that case. He just notes in a throwaway line that "Racism, for example, is a genuine problem. Not a problem on the scale that the woke believe it to be, but a genuine one." (Emphasis mine.) And that's about it on how bad racism is vs how bad woke is.

It could be made more fair if all the hostages were released. Why would international society accept hundreds of peaceful civilians being tortured, raped and murdered for over a year as acceptable?

Israel actually built a lot of the civilian infrastructure, including the largest hospital in Gaza. It's pretty clear those places are being used as terrorist hideouts and to launch rocket attacks. Why is it acceptable to shoot rockets purely targeting civilians while breaking a cease fire agreement?

I am not sure what you read that said any of the things you asserted in the "Edit" section. None of that is true. The token doesn't even exist yet. There is no "rugpull" possible in any event.

But I think this illustrates perfectly what I said originally. Context matters. The context on HN is "I see a word that triggers me (token / web3) somewhere and I immediately assume all these things I haven't seen or read, and forget about anything you actually did."

That's why it is very important how you present things. The original Facebook was just a bunch of profiles in php. And yet people used it like mad and investors camped out Zuck's dorm room. It's not so much about what you build but how you present it.

The conflicts with the Assyrians, Babylonians, and Hittites came down to geopolitical factors that don't exist anymore. Mostly, the Levant separated the empires of Mesopotamia and Anatolia from Egypt. The numerous battles that happened at Meggido occurred because that was a chokepoint of the Way of Horus, the principal land trade route from Egypt specifically and Africa generally to the rest of the world. Besides trade, the Levant had tended to serve as a buffer zone between pharaonic Egypt, which preferred hegemony over outright empire, and other empires who always seemed to want to expand towards Egypt. The Assyrian military campaigns in particular are a reaction to the 25th dynasty in Egypt convincing rulers in the Levant to ally themselves more closely with them at the expense of the Assyrians.

The current conflict is a different beast. The fall of the Ottoman Empire and the careless meddling of western powers in the aftermath. The Jewish diaspora, Zionism, and the Holocaust. The Sunni-Shia conflict.
I think to make that argument you would need evidence that someone prompted ChatGPT to reword/misquote info directly from your blog, at which point the argument would be that that person is rewording/misquoting info directly from your blog, not ChatGPT.
This is true, and I’ve done quite a bit with static embeddings. You can check out my wordllama project if that’s interesting to you.

There’s also model2vec doing some cool things as well in that area. So it’s cool to see recent progress in 2024/5 on simple static embedding models.

On the computational performance note, the performance of cross encoder I trained using ModernBERT base is on par with the roberta large model, while being about 7-8x faster. Still way more complex than static, but on benchmark datasets, much more capable too.
