Oh there's more luck required than that. You have to get lucky many times to win at a 10x stock.

- You have to be lucky enough to find it when it's cheap.

- You have to be lucky enough to hold on to it even if it loses money

- You have to be lucky enough to not sell it when it's at only 5x and hold off for the top

- you have to be lucky enough to have bought enough initially that the return is meaningful to you

These are the thoughts that made me clean up how I invest and stop thinking I'll get lucky at some point just rolling the dice. It's way more luck required than just buying in early.
I'm curious what the specific test criteria is precisely
Marc Andreesen said in an interview he was told to not invest in AI startups by people in government because the government was going to decide which companies were allowed to research and develop AI and nobody else. Does this certification make Anthropic one of the chosen, golden child, ordained companies?

Erdogan is a war criminal too. And I’m sure the ones before him were not much more enlightened about this issue. I wonder what Ataturk thought about the Armenian genocide. I will google that to get educated on what he thought because he is about the only leader in Turkey’s history including Ottoman history that deserves respect.
Let's assume what you're saying is true, though I'm sure you realize you're being rather hyperbolic, at a minimum.

I think the purpose of school is to teach the fundamentals - reading, writing and arithmetic in particular.

I don't really care what worldview a school endorses so long as they are completely transparent on it.

Young Earth theory and creationism is one side of a coin - 80 genders, intersectionalism, and critical theory is the other.

If a parent is down with these worldviews, I see no problem so long as the school is excelling at their primary educational responsibilities, and also making their ideological motives transparent to parents.
I’d say so.

Houses have been around for a very very very long time, but the technology around them doesn’t change all together that much.
Relational databases are indeed fun. There's no such thing as schemaless data; the schema either lives in your database or in your code. In the case of Dynamo, the schema lives in your code, determined by your access patterns. The problem is that access patterns change, and this state of extreme denormalization is difficult to adapt to evolving business requirements.

Hi everyone,

I’m a huge fan of manhwa (Korean comics), and over the years, I’ve read so many that discovering new ones that match my interests has become a real challenge. Inspired by mood2movie, I decided to create Moodhwa, an app that recommends manhwa based on your current mood.

The idea behind it is simple:

When we’re feeling a certain way, we tend to seek out stories that resonate with those emotions. For example, if you’re feeling adventurous, you might want an epic fantasy. If you’re feeling lighthearted, maybe a romantic comedy is more fitting.

It was a fun 24-hour challenge where I challenged myself to find an idea, build an MVP, and deploy it all within a single day.

Honestly had a lot of fun building it and am looking forward to your feedback!
Moderately well sealed houses still exchange quite a lot of air, but if it wouldn't be satisfactory, they often have a fresh air vent usually with a heat exchanger to maintain heating and cooling efficiency. The HRVs and ERVs mentioned in the article are these kinds of devices.
Is there any reason to believe the probabilities involved in those computations are not just coming straight out of rand()?
weren't these called "superinsulated" just a few weeks ago?
It’s no different than using IMAP or POP3 to download your messages. This is the beauty and curse of email. It’s sometimes too transparent. I prefer it.
Whether you like it or not, productive activity in sectors like telecom, construction, healthcare and so is simply legitimate.

Deciding that another country's laws do not matter and considering a foreign governmental entity to be criminal in its own country is just not a rational argument. Russia has a corrupt government, that doesn't change the fact the Russian government is largely self-sufficient draws its income from legitimate and productive activities.

At that point you're just making a circular argument that it's a fundamentally illegitimate organization. Well you can consider them to be, it doesn't change the fact that they have large revenue streams from productive activities that are legal within their jurisdiction, and as a result are far less reliant on Iranian funding than they used to be.

And to the point, it doesn't change the fact that Iran doesn't spend much money on their proxies anymore.
Reminds me of my home here in Germany. I guess it’s not as sophisticated as the architects where more concerned with energy savings then fresh air. Means in the early years we had to vent the house manually a lot. I friend of mine renovated his house and installed on top an automated air refresh system. I wish my house had the same.

What I mean specifically is that around 2010ish the energy footprint started to be become more and more important. Currently the building codes here are so crazy that building a new house demands quite the upfront costs.

I'm not an expert in this area at all. But I was under the impression that for some of these schools, that is the case. My understanding is that some (many?/most?) Muslims believe that the Quran was a direct revelation from Allah in Arabic, and so translations are somewhat suspect, risking incorrect interpretations from humans.
Yeah. It's not every email (I can probably count the number of times I did this on one hand). But if I feel like they're trying to bury some lead or simply want to CYA, I will try to at least download the email to the local machine (perfectly legimate) and BCC myself (Grey area) as an immitation of 3 backup strategies. I've never had to utilize thar BCC, fortunately.

But yes, phone screenshot is another strategy with much less grey area. I'm just becoming more and more paranoid of some potential defense trying to accuse my photo of being doctored, especially with more and more AI tools available.

ISO is just another Swiss agency https://www.iso.org/standard/81230.html

The standard itself was created by Europeans, Anthropic itself is European, so it's just europe trying to impose their own vision of AI on everyone else. That's another example of thinking from perspective of the old world. The New World is busy building instead of putting regulations around the progress.

If you think like a citizen then it's better to avoid sharing your data with other AI companies and only share data with US.
Perhaps it speaks to Biden's administration and its interest in the conflict that Trump can achieve this now where Biden couldn't a couple months ago.

So, what was the purpose of the conversation then? In the vast majority of cases, in most normal mathematical manuscripts, '3.0' is '3'. There is no distinction.
Reminds me of the time when p2p music sharing became popular and the record companies had to submit every song they did not want to get shared along with an explanation to every person who had Napster installed.

Or was it that the record companies got to sue individuals for astronomic amounts of made up damages for every song potentially shared?

Which one was it?
Doesn't answer the question. Note that I'm not advocating for any method or scheme, or even granting that anything needs to be done at all, just asking a simple question: how is your scheme enforced?

Say that a state passes a law mandating your scheme. How does it get enforced?

Pretty sure the passive house "movement" started in Germany?

Looks like this type of passive house was a Swedish/German innovation:

> The passive house standard originated from a conversation in May 1988 between Bo Adamson of Lund University, in Sweden, and Wolfgang Feist of the Institut für Wohnen und Umwelt (Institute for Housing and Environment), in Darmstadt, Germany.[13] Their concept was developed through a number of research projects with financial assistance from the German state of Hesse.[14]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_house#History
Air exchangers are one of the key HVAC considerations for passive houses... not sure how that could be considered overlooked.

> Balanced Ventilation with Heat & Moisture Recovery

> With an airtight enclosure, continuous, balanced ventilation is absolutely critical to indoor air quality (IAQ). Passive buildings continually exhaust air from bathrooms, kitchens and other areas with stale air and supply fresh air to living and working space

Its ironic, because this dude doesn't seem to care enough to even the slightest bit of research to understand why any of these problems he highlights are the way they are, and lazily attributes everything to OTHER people not caring. LEDs last longer, are more energy efficient, and also reduce light pollution because they are more directional[1]. Took me 30 seconds to google. There are enormous design standards for designing bike lanes[2]. It is almost certainly the case the design of this intersection is dictated by these standards. But sure, just assume it's because everyone is stupid.

Google seems to have an advantage here; as the client on both ends in many emails, they could just check if this ai expand/summary process is occurring and if so just send the bullet point (or if they want to be really clever just pass the bullet point through a thesaurus, so nobody will notice even if the sender happens to see what the recipient got).
I've seen similar claims, with nothing in particular to support it. Hopefully Nvidia clarifies this soon.

AMD Strix Halo has a 128GB config with 256GB/sec.

Apple has a MBP m4 max with 128GB ram for $4,700 with a 546GB/sec interface.

Hopefully Nvidia can do better.

Philip kindly posted the link, but I can also say a bit about it. My project using rqlite is a bot for Telegram that sends alerts and provides info. I also operate an instance of this bot that serves a small but substantial group of users.

My motivation in adapting the bot to work with rqlite was looking for a low resistance path to higher availability. I store the small amount of state that the bot requires in rqlite and also use it to implement a simple leader election.
> the government was going to decide which companies were allowed to research and develop AI and nobody else

Trump and AI are not a good mix by design.
Not saying it is the actual reason, but one rationale is that you don't want a sudden influx of a single demographic taking over the nation and disproportionately affect policy making and culture.
You are focusing on technical details too much, I don't think any of the initial Facebook users cared if it was php or not, they cared about what they saw on the screen.

While presentation definitely matters, the product itself has to be actually interesting (especially on HN). For example, current HN's top post is about Anthropic - and I don't even know what their stack looks like!

On the other side, if the product's is Yet Another PHP Framework then your target audience is (1) PHP developers who are (2) unsatisfied with existing frameworks they know and (3) willing to spend hours to try the unknown thing. This is a pretty narrow category.

I have an interesting anecdote about that. I was consulting for a very large tech company on their advertising product. They essentially wanted an upsell product to sell to advertisers, like a premium offering to increase their reach. My first step is always to establish a baseline by backtesting their algorithm against simple zeroth and first-order estimators. Measuring this is a little bit complicated, but it seemed their targeting was worse than naive-bayes by a large factor, especially with respect to customer conversion. I was a pretty good data scientist, but this company paid their DS people an awful lot of money, so I couldn’t have been the first to actually discover this. The short story is that they didn’t want a better algorithm. They wanted an upsell feature. I started getting a lot of work in advertising, and it took me a number of clients to see a general trend that the advertising business is not interested in delivering ads to the people that want the product. Their real interest is in creating a stratification of product offerings that are all roughly as valuable to the advertiser as the price paid for them. They have to find ways to split up the tranches of conversion probability and sell them all separately, without revealing that this is only possible by selling ad placements that are intentionally not as good as they could be. Note that this is not insider knowledge of actual policy, just common observations from analyzing data at different places.
You can gate it behind watching ads.

I would argue LLMs are irresponsible by nature of them having no context for what is fact or fiction.

You generally cannot know because we don't measure for it? Especially not on personal computers, maybe ECC ram reports this information in some way?

In practice I think it happens often enough, and I remember a blackhat conference talk from around a decade ago where the hacker squatted typoed variants of the domain of a popular facebook game, and caught requests from real end users. Basing his attack on the random chance of bitflips during dns lookups.

if you care and you end up in a position where you don't have the ability to act on that feeling, you WILL burnout and get cynical and go into not-caring preservation mode.

I used to work at a big tech co that made a popular consumer app. New hires were always excited because not only was it a pretty cushy job, they got to work on a product that they loved. They cared until the bureaucracy and product decision making processes ground that enthusiasm into dust. Everybody ended up jaded.

Tiktok is an offshoot of Douyin, I don't think Douyin needs the US to be profitable, and software has a low marginal cost.

I never said so, I said I wouldn't be surprised if a significant number did. Having grown up in this environment I've seen people literally buy 4 year old iPhones just for iMessage. American teenagers are very weird about social media and this kind of behavior wouldn't be out of character.
Your argument is that there is no definitive law. Therefore the creators of the data you scrape to train, and their wishes are irrelevant.

Correct, that is the position of the law. Here in America, we don't take the position, held in many other countries, that everything not explicitly permitted is forbidden. This is a good thing.

If the motivation was to help humanity, they’d think twice about stepping on the toes of the humanity they want to save

Whether it is permissible to train models with copyrighted content is up to the courts and Congress, not us. Until then, no one's toes are being stepped on. Everybody whose work was used to train the models still holds the same rights to that work that they held before.
