I can't get over how widely accepted this paternalistic thinking is. "People might be viewing and think in the wrong things and must be stopped!" It's textbook censorship, with a bunch of legal tap dancing to attempt to justify it against the obvious unconstitutionality.

We can hardly claim to have a democracy while acting like the population at large needs to be controlled in such a way. It's contradictory.

So cool that with uv it becomes so easy to install such tools.

What's missing in the install routine is uv installing this tool ignoring the Python dependency. My box has 3.10 and isd won't work with it. Fixed with `-p 3.13` option. May be worth mention in the docs.
The Boxster is mid-engined so there is no back seat, but a usable trunk at each end. The front trunk is takes up the entire space of a normal engine bay, and is surprisingly massive for how small the car is, because it is very deep.

Overall the Boxster is a surprisingly practical car- it was very cheap (cheaper than an old Prius of the same age) but now appreciating in value with age, can use a 3+ carpool lane with 2 people, is tiny so easy to park anywhere, and it is actually very reliable and low maintenance.

By that metric, there are lots of connections between space flight and any other aspect of modern society.

No plane, relying upon air pressure to fly, can ever use that method to get to the moon. Ever. Never ever.

If you think it is, you're adding things to make a plane capable of space flight.

> None of that would have mattered that much, but the dealbreaker: Trunk space.

I hear you. I got a 2022 Prius Prime and I was disappointed with the smaller trunk space compared with the 2010(ish) Prius I had before, but I still went with it. However, my understanding is that the newer models somehow have even smaller trunk space space. At least that space under the trunk floor is filled with batteries in my case.

While I'm happy enough with my purchase, I suspect I won't be getting a Prius in the future. If I want a PHEV, I might look at the Rav4 Prime, but I think I'm more likely to look for a full EV when the time comes.

I have no issue with Tiktok remaining a platform in America, but as someone who has used tiktok all throughout high school until today as a senior in college, I think it is objectively bad to use this app. Some of my friends that also use tiktok can ONLY watch videos in 2x speed. They don't even have the attention span to watch a video at normal speed any more, which they proudly admit for some reason.

I also do think there is a little bit of passive censorship about controversial topics. For example, if you lookup "free tibet" or "free hong kong", the posts there have at most 2-5k likes, and it seems like these posts never really "hit" the algorithm's sweet spot and get famous. Sure, this is entirely anecdotal, but I do find it a bit odd how the algorithm chooses what to show and what to hide.

Once again as someone who uses it, I think tiktok and its algorithm are definitely crippling the youth of America. At the same time, it doesn't sound right to ban it.

The system prompt may be a bit too simple, especially when using gpt-4o-mini as the base LLM that doesn't adhere to prompts well.

> You write ffmpeg commands based on the description from the user. You should only respond with a command line command for ffmpeg, never any additional text. All responses should be a single line without any line breaks.

I recently tried to get Claude 3.5 Sonnet to solve an FFmpeg problem (write a command to output 5 equally-time-spaced frames from a video) with some aggressive prompt engineering and while it seems internally consistent, I went down a rabbit hole trying to figure out why it didn't output anything, as the LLMs assume integer frames-per-second which is definitely not the case in the real world!
Because you have to decide in less than 1ms, using AI is too slow in that context
Exactly. I know people who have TikTok as the lifeline of their business and they're rightfully pissed off that it's taken from them on a whim.
Unless we start chopping these tech companies down there's not much hope for the public internet. They now have an incentive to crawl anything they can and have vastly more resources than even most governments. Most resources I need to host in a way that's internet facing are behind keyauth and I'm not sure I see a way around doing that for at least a while

>The serious answer is this: Nazis strive to replace democratic government with a fascist dictatorship.

So how is it democracy to ban this party and harass its members again? Should Germans be concerned about other parties adopting fascist tactics to control who they can vote for?

>They wish to get rid of people they deem as their enemies.

So like the left, correct?

>So, if your party has a few Nazis, it's all Nazis.

Nobody has presented me with proof that any Nazis are in AfD, and that there are no Nazis in other parties. I don't know if AfD is open like US political parties, where one can just claim to be a member. But unless someone is at least widely known to be an open Nazi, and the party registered them as a member with full knowledge of that (or at least refused to revoke membership of a known Nazi), it's all slander.

What is your take on the leadership of Ukraine having literal bonafide Nazis in it? Are they a concern of yours, or do you just accept what the "thought leaders" tell you?

After certain people have called Republicans in the US "Nazis" for the past 8 years based on nothing, I'm so done with people who pull out that word for anyone they disagree with. Pony up some proof or buzz off.
I’d much prefer to smell a car coming than not, personally.
i think this type of interaction is the future in lots of areas. i can imagine we replace API's completely with a single endpoint where you hit it up with a description of what you want back. like, hit up 'news.ycombinator.com/api' with "give me all the highest rated submissions over the past week about LLMs". a server side LLM translates that to SQL, executes the query, returns the results.

this approach is broadly applicable to lots of domains just like FFMpeg. very very cool to see things moving in this direction.

She's also her daughters' slave. They make her work (lay eggs). They decide when to make new queens. They decide when to swarm with the old queen, and when they do they put her on a diet first so she can lose weight so she can fly (they won't let her eat much for two weeks), and they'll push her out of the hive when the time comes.

Humans only really get stung by queen honeybees when manipulating them. Normally the queen will be inside the hive and stay inside the hive except once or twice early in her life when she goes out to mate.

Any game that wants a ton of content has this problem. The many caves in Skyrim start to feel the same after a while. You can often recognize the same assets over and over in very content-rich games. The total number of assets used in the article is tiny compared to what a production game would have. Procedural generation can't be used as an excuse to do less work, or it just feels same-y. A game is still a ton of work; it's just different work for different goals with procedural generation.

Generating a huge world is boring if you don't have interesting objects to put in that world. Interesting objects are meaningless unless they're connected to a story. Minecraft works because it's a sandbox for you to invent your own stories, so the infinite world ends up getting filled by the player. If any element feels repetitive, the whole game will. If you wanted a fully procedural game, you need to figure out how to procedurally generate all the different aspects: story, characters, enemies, places, objects. It's more work to do that well than to make a traditional game. So people going into procedural generation thinking it'll save them work are already destined to fail.
Installments of this type are not very helpful, as they proliferate the notion that the so called "debt" of a nation in its own currency has to be repaid or is in any way bad.
The goal of a nation with a sovereign currency should be to keep prices stable while advancing wellbeing in general. Often, this means spending new money, which is framed as debt and said to increase inflation. In reality, new "debt" can both increase or decrease inflation, depending on how the money is spent. There is no direct correlation between increasing the pool of money and inflation.
If money is spent on a product that currently has low demand due to a crisis, prices won't be increased and there won't be inflation. If money is spent on a product with high demand, then prices will increase and inflation will worsen.
Example: after COVID, construction was down 30% in Germany. Government could have stepped in and spent new money to use the available labour, but instead it remained unused. This way, the labour went to waste, and construction companies, like many other companies, had to charge more for the same services because there was less demand in total, which causes inflation.

I am absolutely not an expert in NLP, but I wouldn't be surprised if for many kinds of problems LLMs would have far less error rate, than any NLP software.

Like, lemmation is pretty damn dumb in NLP, while a better LLM model will be orders of magnitude more correct.
I often think about the worst city in the universe: it has no traffic lights (apart from pedestrian ones) and no crossings, and it has one single street called Hilbert street.
in my experience (Eu, datacenter/ISP space) connectivity is either sold based on 99percentile commitments (aka, you pay for sending us this amount of traffic, anything over this gets you billed extra) or based on a minimum commitment for the traffic you send. (atleast X amount of bandwith) or it is based on a flat free principle where you pay an upfront cost for the setup and the rest is a base price for X amount of bits per seconds.

It depends a lot on what kind of connection you require, and things like oversubscription and congestion control also come into play.

Peering ports with IXP's are usually flat rate, while ports in datacenters to end customers usually have more complex constructs.

Hyperscaler bandwith is notoriously expensive.
for instance, a 100Gbps port on the AMS-IX is 2500$[1].

Now, you need to account for extra costs to actually use this port (some IP space, ASN number etc) but even with all that added up i think you will not get much more expensive then 400$ per month averaged in total over a year.

Now what makes comparing difficult is that hyperscalers are not transparant when it comes to connectivity costs. Looking at egress fees for example:

AWS seems to charge 1 cent per Gigabyte transferred for egress fees.

If we send data at line rate across our 100Gbps for an entire month we get the following:

100gbps = 12.5Gigabytes per second.
12.5 * 2 629 743 83 (number of seconds in a month) = 32871797875 Gigabytes
32871797875 / 0,001$ = 3.287.179,7875

thats 3,2 million dollars... compared to roughly 4000!

AWS also seems to offer "dedicated connections". at roughly 22 dollars per hour [3] (no clue if this is even comparble to an IXP port, but the comparison would still be fun to make).

22$ x 720 (hours per month = 15.840$, or roughly 3times the IXP port price.

In both cases, you are getting absolutely shafted by egress prices at cloud providers compared to doing it yourself.

I understand the argument that TikTok is credibly more exposed to demands from the CCP than American Social media. I'm not entirely convinced it's happening to an alarming degree, some collaboration with governments seem inevitable, but I'm also not unconvinced.

I don't see how that in any way leads into an argument of "If China agrees to open up its market to foreign social media, without censorship, then we can consider TikTok existing." That sounds way more like a national capitalist argument than one for national security.
What happened to the MACs that had no secure enclave?

So what would you use to classify whether a document is a critique or something else in 1M documents in a non-English language?

This is a real problem I am dealing with at a library project.

Each document is between 100 to 10k tokens.

Most top (read most expensive) LLMs available in OpenRouter work great, it is the cost (and speed) that is the issue.

If I could come up with something locally runnable that would be fantastic.

Presumably BERT based classifiers would work if I had one properly trained for the language.
This was indeed one mitigation used by a site to prevent bots hosted on AWS from uploading CSAM and generating bogus reports to the site's hosting provider.[1]

In any case, I agree with the sarcasm. Blocking data center IPs may not help the OP, because some of the bots are resorting to residential IP addresses.
