I don't use reddit, so I'm probably missing something, but subscribing to only the 'best' posts doesn't sound like a way to find the 'hidden gems', it sounds more like a way to subscribe to whatever the users of the subreddit have collectively voted up that particular day.
I love that name and would 100% support that change lol
> I’m not sure if anyone could ever “get” one of his movies completely beyond the experience and the narrative.

I actually found "Mulholland Drive" to be incredibly accessible for a Lynch movie. Twin Peaks remains an absolute (and highly fascinating) enigma to me, especially the third season, but "Mulholland Drive" always felt like an enigma with a satisfying solution.
fair point but coin toss it is what I'm getting they are all equally good/bad?

> Keeping UI rendering under 16ms is the gold standard for native apps.

No, it isn't.

If you're not including the actual rendering, so the actual code of the app only or at least only the code on the UI thread, the targets are much smaller. More like 3-6ms/frame.

If you're including rendering then pipelining and 90hz+ being common still changes that anyway.
I was about to say that. Pretty much every unique Wii U game has been remastered for Switch.
Cool. I certainly will if I head up there. Probably when the weather warms up ;)

> To someone like me with hobby-level serving needs, the 90 day certificate life is pretty inconvenient, despite having automation set up.

I've been running an LE client (official one, dehydrated, others) on various system for ~8 years, and the one time I had an issue with renewing was when (AIUI) the LE folks changed CDNs and so their responses were (slightly) different and dehydrated needed to be tweaked:

* https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/jws-has-no-anti-replay-n...

* https://github.com/dehydrated-io/dehydrated/commit/e4e712c03...

Other than that, never had an issue.
> it's impossible to bill at scale and exactly cut off service usage globally when a target is hit

This seems unlikely to me. What is the technical reason for this?
That's a really cool idea. Would you mind sharing more?

In particular, do you use something like Stripe Atlas for that? And if so, is there any impact to your account with them when you declare a bankruptcy?
That’s the third big GCP bill story I’ve seen in like 48 hours.

Over on Reddit someone got stuck with a 450k one.

Struggling to find the third thread again though. Maybe they deleted it

Also seeing an uptick in people suggesting insurance as the solution. Which seems insane to me but what do I know

It depends on the Air Force.
> We had wallpapers and great homescreen and dock themes on jailbroken iPhones without a significant perf impact.

Untrue. There was a noticeable UI lag when scrolling between app pages. I've tried it in both the iPod touch and previous generations iPhones. It felt like how Android used to feel like back then.
> Do reasoning LLMs need their own Philosophical Language?

Do faster-than-light starships require strangelets? Like FTL travel, it's hard to say, because we don't have "reasoning LLMs" anyway.

What we have are LLMs that build out story-documents, in which we humans perceive a fictional computer-character with text forming an internal monologue, and those generated stories seem to be more cohesive than ones without the monologue.

That means approaching this from the perspective of good symbolic logic is a mistake, since LLM algorithms aren't designed to do that. Whatever qualities make for a "good" story-cohesion monologue will probably be something else.
That's every cloud provider. At this point, I think they're actively conspiring to not implement billing caps.
It looked like more setup required than that, but I’ll defer to you. :)
I can't tell you how much respect I have for this mindset. Like them burning a heap of money on Metroid Prime 4, for years, and then coming out with an announcement along the lines of "sorry guys, this sucks, so we've chucked it out and started again because we only do things right, see you in another 3-4 years when it's ready."

It pays dividends, because they just don't ship junk, so everything they DO ship sells extremely well.

Once you do spend a significant amount of money, you'll find that the limits you can set yourself might not even work.

We have a multi-organization OpenAI account and I had set a $4k/month limit on one of the child orgs that was being used for a R&D project. Got billed ~$20k for the project one month and complained that it clearly allowed us to exceed our soft and hard limits. We were told that the limits (which you can set and act like they are a real thing) don't do anything if you have a child organization set up. They refunded us after some persuading and I know it's just normal growing pains for an organization that is undergoing rapid growth and maturity, but was still a little surprising that even the "hard limit" didn't do anything for us!

(Note that this was last year, so this bug is probably long fixed as they have redesigned their portal multiple times now)

Nah it could also be differing peering agreements with the ISP and the data center you are connecting to.

On T-Mobile, I get 30ms to Cloudflare but 150ms to my local AWS.

But I also get 450 mbps on T-Mobile so I’m not complaining.
A lot of people don’t like the pay to play aspects of Twitter. EM also boosts his own tweets which is the ultimate pay to play.

If you’re talking about the “following” feed that is also an “algorithm” albeit a simple one. But with injected ads it seems strictly worse than RSS.
Every one of these are like right out of a sci-fi novel. It makes me truly excited for our future in a way little else out there does.

Between this, AI (even in its current LLM form), and mounting evidence suggesting the entire solar system is teeming with at least microbial life, we are going to become an interplanetary species far sooner than many “skeptics” imagine.

We are just one more lander / sample mission / whatever away from having solid proof of life elsewhere in the solar system. That is gonna jumpstart all a huge race to get humans out into deep space to check it all out.

People worry about AI stealing their jobs… don’t worry. We need that stuff so humans can focus on the next phase of our history… becoming interplanetary. Your kids will be traveling to space and these (very overhyped, don’t get me wrong) LLM’s will be needed for all kinds of tasks.

It sounds crazy but I maintain it’s true and will happen sooner than you’d think.

I appreciate the intent behind this, but like others have pointed out, this is more likely to DOS your own website than accomplish the true goal.

Probably unethical or not possible, but you could maybe spin up a bunch of static pages on GitHub Pages with random filler text and then have your site redirect to a random one of those instead. Unless web crawlers don’t follow redirects.
No it isn’t. It’s just unprofitable which means it can be fixed with higher rates.
Amazing. A direct transfer of wealth from taxpayers to Bitcoin holders, with the US government left holding the worthless bag when the crash comes.
There might be legal / compliance reasons. It can be incredibly difficult to replace a validated system that is known (or already accepted even if it's technically incorrect) to implement lawmaker dictated behavior.

Otherwise, I think a new approach might be to ignore the specifics of the old system, implement a new system, and a separate translation layer that can run on an export of the old system (or the old system brought back online, but read only after the overnight maintenance) and completely cut over during an otherwise holiday weekend.
Is there a video you don't need to log in to view?
I find it annoyingly unrealistic to demand that nobody publish solutions, especially interesting ones like this. Some people will always do it anyway, and once they do, any further resistance to such publications is pointless. If you want something secret, your ultimate mistake is publishing the problems in the first place. For a problem set as old as Project Euler, it's not reasonable to expect solutions to not be out there, and it is ultimately on the honor system whether a problem solver cheats or not.
Back in the day, over a decade or so, I wrote a few megabytes of VAX Basic. The language, and the code I wrote, at the end of that period looke nothing like it did at the beginning. So yes, it’s quite likely that the Basics are substantially different.

But any software evolves over time so if it had fewer ways of doing things in the past, it would very likely eventually pick them up because people have use cases for the advanced features.

It's like complaining about languages ("English is hard to spell and doesn't have consistent pronunciation" etc.), they're constantly changing and that kind of thing is going to happen eventually...

The fourth one (instagram) doesn't require login.

Side note: annoying that twitter/X requires login. I'd have sworn Elon said he was removing that requirement to login to view tweets (I think he discussed it with George Hotz).

Found it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkNkSQ42jg4&t=49m30s

Elon:

> This is insane. You shouldn't need a twitter account at all unless you need to write something

George:

> Why did you put the pop up back?

Elon:

> We should not be prohibiting read-only scroll

So there seems to be agreement that twitter shouldn't require an account to read (view) posts. The Twitter Space is from 23 Dec 2022 so perhaps things changed since.
That was very interesting reading, thanks!

When you put a minimum on the price of wages the true minimum is zero. When you put a maximum on the price of insurance the true maximum is 1/0.
Literally just watched it today and it's definitely in my 10 least favorite movies I've ever watched. Wish I had seen your comment.
That's good, it makes sense it would be for only those sorts of accounts. Imagine building a billing system that could always do that, any time you accept a request, you need to check against a database if the user has hit their billing limit or if you can charge them for it. It obviously can't work. I imagine the way MS make it work is probably to slow down resource consumption for those accounts dramatically, and then just take the hit on overspend, knowing that it will be almost nothing.

It's not technically fraudulent to use your personal bank account, per se. You need to keep great records though. But from what I understand that could be enough to consider the veil pierced. Also need to make sure you don't personally ensure any debts.
I am very confused as to what this is trying to claim... it says it is "IMAP-based, not API-based", and yet it is clearly running its own sync solution, including to web browsers.
I doubt it. This does not seem to be a particularly well written or well thought-out paper -- e.g. equations 6 and 7 contradict their descriptions in the sentence below; the 'theorem' is an assertion.

After reading a few times, I gather that, rather than kernelizing or linearizing attention (which has been thoroughly explored in the literature), they are using a MLP to do run-time modelling of the attention operation. If that's the case (?), (which is interesting, sure):
1 -- Why did they not say this plainly.
2 -- Why does eq. 12 show the memory MLP being indexed by the key, whereas eq. 15 shows it indexed by the query?
3 -- What's with all the extra LSTM-esque forget and remember gates? Meh. Wouldn't trust it without ablations.

I guess if a MLP can model a radiance field (NeRF) well, stands to reason it can approx attention too. The Q,K,V projection matrices will need to be learned beforehand using standard training.

While the memory & compute savings are clear, uncertain if this helps with reasoning or generalization thereof. I doubt that too.
Playing with MuJoCo is a lot of fun. I recommend it for people who just want to experiment with RL. You can do random weird stuff like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-9u_vepfY8. I'm really glad DeepMind is continuing to update it.
A New Jam-Packed Biden Executive Order Tackles Cybersecurity, AI, and More
I learn something crazy everyday this was the craziest of today
I am deeply surprised by the reviews on this.
I agree that the XBox senior leadership has made a series of critical strategic mistakes going back over a decade which have nerfed the otherwise generally quite good hardware, software, game and online service execution. Just with XBox One the long string of gaffes and fatal errors was... impressive.

* Going all-in on bundling the Kinect, a very costly depth camera interface peripheral, with every XBox.

* Committing to making XBox an "all-in-one entertainment system" by building in an expensive HDMI input capability to enable being an electronic program guide, digital video recorder, Blu-ray disc player, streaming TV service and music service. The Kinect camera peripheral also had a built-in IR blaster to control all your other living room devices.

* Announcing pervasive DRM that would tie game discs to the user's account, prevent reselling or lending game discs.

* Aggressively pre-announcing no backward compatibility with previous XBox games. A senior XBox exec apparently told the media (on the record), "If you're backwards compatible, you're backward."

While the last two mistakes were walked back before the console even shipped, building in & bundling costly hardware couldn't be walked back. Nor could the significant investment in developing operating system and application software to support electronic program guide, IR control, video streaming and recording. These large hardware and software investments certainly came at the cost of investing as much in hardware and software to better render games, play games and support game development. You can kind of understand why MSFT thought each of these things would be good for MSFT strategically, but they were all tone deaf in terms of what their market wanted and fatal distractions from the main business of being a good game console.

I hope someday a definitive case study will be written giving insight into how otherwise smart, experienced executives can make so many catastrophic strategic errors over such a long period of time.
I've only ever used Stripe Atlas, but there's other alternatives. Atlas gives you a bunch of free credits with their partners and is pretty quick to get through, but you might be paying a hundred or two premium over doing it all ad hoc.
You can go to the Porsche configurator website and design a personally customized globally unique $300K+ car, and it shows you not only the price but also what it'll look like. So there's obviously nothing _technical_ preventing them from letting people just order online, like with Tesla. Frustratingly, you have to still go into a dealer for them to click the submit order button, and they might add a markup for this privilege despite them adding negative value to the experience. It is just as frustrating as B2B sales. I'm sure some buyers want to speak to a human, but enthusiasts tend to know exactly what they want and they dread having to "build a relationship" and wonder if they got screwed because they didn't negotiate hard enough / aren't good-looking enough / etc.

As for B2B sales, if AWS can show their pricing online, which has to be among the most complex pricing in existence - then so can every other SaaS company.

tldr: stored 1pb in a GCS bucket. this persons twitter account is about how they have hacked growth and have had 3 number one apps, crazy growth, etc. well, I hope they can pay.

also, billing caps really don’t make any sense. a competitor could easily exploit that to take your service down. best to you know, architect your stuff correctly… speaking of architecture, creating a paas where you have a hard billing cap would pretty much obliterate performance as you would need round trips each time you do anything in order to confirm you’re not over the amount.

I don't know that the Playstation 5 really plays in that market when the cheapest version is $450, so nearly $200 more expensive than the switch. Keeping the price down is part of how Nintendo owns that market, on top of their first party game lineup and the like.
I'm not worried about the Starship itself, but it looks kinda dangerous. Is it?
I understand that a precise billing limit is probably impossible at that scale, but if they have the ability to send you an email some time after you go over a limit then they have the ability to automatically pull the plug at the same time rather than waiting for you to notice the email and do it yourself. They just don't want to.

I'm sure people would accept a best-effort system where setting a billing limit for $100 means you may be billed $140 because your spending overshot the limit before the system noticed. It still beats the alternative of waking up to a $20,000 bill out of nowhere.
IIRC the whole reason Nvidia was not able to make a new Shield or Shield tablet was because all their chips were being used in the Switch, and the basically all used the same chip

I'm not a lawyer, maybe it wouldn't hold up in court, but I imagine that good will is the driving force, even if way down the line they may not manage to actually reclaim the money. My experience of working with cloud providers is that they are almost always happy to take a short term loss (extended trial, more test resources, refunds for accidental usage, etc) to get an account that is going to grow and stick with the provider. This does make sense, customer acquisition and churn are expensive, and recurring revenue is great.
The PlayStation also doesn't play most games on Steam. Exclusive games don't mean the platforms aren't competitors — back in the day platform exclusivity was even more of the norm than it is today, and yet the SNES and the Sega Genesis were clearly competitors, as were the original PlayStation and the N64.

> Palm OS didn't have a unified app store at that time, just sideloading and some third-party methods, and some carriers had started making their own stores where you could buy apps billed through your cell phone bill. They hated the idea of a platform owning that, and I expect that was part of the reason Apple originally released it with no app store. They needed the phone to be a massive hit in order to gain the power to also bypass that wall that the cell companies put up.

This might actually be a partial explanation why some of Apple’s Executives held back on trying to convince Jobs until after they shipped, but initially, Steve Jobs was truly against the idea of running third-party apps on iPhones and had to be convinced.

I love sharing this trivia with people because really, can you imagine an iPhone without apps? It’s crazy to me to even think about, and back then during that first year and for many subsequent years after until this became public knowledge, I thought the only reason there wasn’t an SDK was because the first iPhone as a minimum-viable product for Apple’s vision of a cell phone and an SDK was always in the cards from before the start. Because why wouldn’t it? They had Cocoa! And a small but enthusiastic base of indie Mac devs that knew how to use it.
Sure, but state governments (in the US) also set what prices are allowed (disclaimer: I don't work in the industry but have friends that do so I might misunderstand). And that means that if the state says "you can only charge X for insurance", and it's still unprofitable, those customers are effectively uninsurable.
