Not quite. In 2 years their revenue has ~20x from 200M ARR to 3.7B ARR. The inference costs I believe pay for themselves (in fact are quite profitable). So what they're putting on their investor's credit cards are the costs of employees & model training. Given it's projected to be a multi-trillion dollar industry and they're seen as a market leader, investors are more than happy to throw in interest free cash flow now in exchange for variable future interest in the form of stocks.

That's not quite the same thing at all as your credit card's revenue stream as you have a ~18%+ monthly interest rate on that revenue stream. If you recall AMZN (& all startups really) have this mode early in their business where they're over-spending on R&D to grow more quickly than their free cash flow otherwise allows to stay ahead of competition and dominate the market. Indeed if investors agree and your business is actually strong, this is a strong play because you're leveraging some future value into today's growth.

The gripe I have though is that it is incredibly hard (if not impossible) to create a dense powerful e-field without it arcing over.

To be powerful you need an incredibly high voltage, to be dense you need the positive (holes, as they say) and negative charges to be close to each other.

If you could get 5MV between two plates that are a foot apart, that e-field would be insane an probably could do all manner of sci-fi. But it would flash over and equalize in a picosecond. Even if you had some kind of god tier power supply supply that could support a constant 5MV, you would just end up with a dense wad of plasma vaporizing everything.
Isn't that a state and local-level thing, though? I can't imagine that there is much federal permitting in building a data center, unless it is powered by a nuclear reactor.
WASD are the normal commands for movement in games.

Pressing forwards to shoot feels wrong though.

This feels like it would be better with double keybinds. Arrows + Space for non-gamers, WASD + space for gamers.

Don't just change it to arrows though, that's going to be painful for laptop users who don't have those crappy half sized arrow keys (see macbook, framework, etc...).
>they will let go 4 humans and equip the remaining 6 to take on the load of 10

This increase in productivity has been a huge and omnipresent factor in human progress and happiness. It's a very good thing to have happen. The only real drawback is temporary disruption when it happens (which I'm not discounting, it can be a huge disruption, even though it works out for the better in the long term).

Unfortunately the cheats are way ahead of this. Most modern aimbots in shooters like Counter-Strike are (intentionally) not-obvious. They give minor advantages and do tiny corrections for an already-immensely-skilled player to gain a small edge. In a game where the difference between a great player and an elite player is small, they can be the invisible difference maker.

IMO current generation models are capable of creating significantly better than "slop" quality content. You need only look at NotebookLM output. As models continue to improve, this will only get better. Look at the rate of improvement of video generation models in the last 12-24 months. It's obvious to me we're rapidly approaching acceptable or even excellent quality on-demand generated content.

But the ~70% isn't in every region, it's an average over all regions.

Certain developed countries, Apple iPhone market share is 55%-65% (Norway, USA, Canada, Japan), UK is at 50% and starts dropping down in other Western European countries. South Korea is dominated by Samsung.

Even then, Apple's ~55% of the USA market isn't across all age groups - iPhone is a monopoly for teens, 87%, - see https://www.macrumors.com/2023/10/10/iphone-teen-survey-2023....
ok well at least that's the number that was being discussed.

maybe i sound like i'm wearing a tin hat but i don't totally trust their active user numbers or believe that facebook is growing active users in the US. like am i in there bc i have a facebook acct from years ago to run ads and accidentally clicked a fb link once last year? what if i viewed a facebook ad. at some point somebody is deciding what counts as active and i'd bet a dollar that person is incentivized for numbers to be big and monotonic.

in my experience it's good to poke at numbers that don't match your intuition. that's how you get to reality.

i know your example was farcical, but if you know a lot of people and 100% of them play racquetball, you should seriously question someone who is telling you that football is actually the most popular sport, especially if they have economic incentives for you thinking that's the truth. it's just math.

I had no idea this was a campaign promise. Why? I don’t understand.
Probably not, because most of the responses aren't coming from employees, the ones that say they are may not be, and even the real ones may not feel free to say much.

If it were verified employees saying what they really think, would that be interesting? Sure. Even then though, keep in mind that HN's standard isn't "interesting", it's intellectually interesting. Similarly, it isn't "gratify curiosity", it's "gratify intellectual curiosity" (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html).

There are other kinds of curiosity (e.g. social curiosity) and they're interesting too (to me also!) but they're not the same as intellectual curiosity and thus not what this site is primarily for.

I think the only way you get to that kind of budget is by assuming that the models are like 5 or 10 times larger than most LLMs, and that you want to be able to do a lot of training runs simultaneously and quickly, AND build the power stations into the facilities at the same time. Maybe they are video or multimodal models that have text and image generation grounded in a ton of video data which eats a lot of VRAM.
Wasn’t he in jail for hiring a contract killer?

I’m all for the freeing him of his crimes when it comes to his crypto anarchic philosophy. But I find it hard to pardon someone for contract killing essentially. Also I’m not an apologist for the FBIs handling of this case either.

The USA government and tech companies have so thoroughly normalized spying on it's own citizens that it's simply expected and hardly even a concern anymore. People are numb to it. I think they are mostly just happy to actually get to choose who is getting the data for once.

Hmm "within 250 miles" is not deanonymization in my book. Unless you live in the middle of the desert. In which case there won't be a cloudflare DC near you anyway.

It's nice but at most will give you an indication of city. Perhaps together with some additional OSINT you could find the user but you'll need a lot more clues.

Well found though!
Imagine sending a friend request to bin Laden's videographer and getting a reply from Pakistan while your entire military is looking for him in Afghanistan?

There's definitely cases where this is going to be immediately used. Shit, just using it to scrape Cloudflare for additional metadata on everyone from other user table leaks is probably valuable data. Even triangulation over time as they move around is going to get a more precise result. Maybe you find a vulnerability that takes that cloudflare node offline and run it again, repeat until you've got a fairly small radius they could be in.

Actually, as a Christian (Catholic), I 100% agree with your assertion.
While all regions claim truth, Christianity really centers itself on this idea.

In fact, this is repeated over and over again, so much so that I've lost count of the number of times I've heard the following during Homily: "In Christianity is not true, and Christ was proven to not have been risen, we should stop practicing it".

It shouldn't be, unless you were using macros (always officially experimental) or something - I was always primarily an Eclipse guy but IntelliJ worked well. Did you not get the green underline?
I feel like you're conflating quality with fidelity. Video generation models have better fidelity than they did a year ago, but they are no closer to producing any kind of compelling content without a human directing them, and the latter is what you would actually need to make the "infinite entertainment machine" happen.

The fidelity of a video generation model is comparable to an LLMs ability to nail spelling and grammar - it's a start, but there's more to being an author than that.
As Carmack pointed out the problem with AR/VR right now - it's not the hardware, it's the software. Until the "visicalc" must have killer app shows up to move the hardware, there is little incentive for general users to make the investment.

FWIW Altman sees it as a way to deploy AGI. He's increasingly comfortable with the idea they have achieved AGI and are moving toward Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI).

No, that charge was dropped. IIRC, it was on shaky ground and they were just trying to throw the book at him.
There is absolutely no way harm reduction was the reason Trump pardoned him.
It is a shame that Marie Kondo’s website is selling clutter - I haven’t looked myself, but I believe it. It felt inevitable.

From memory, her first famous book did address accumulating possessions quite well. You were supposed to have a location in mind to store everything before you bought it - or even accepting a gift. She also discouraged buying storage boxes - suggesting repurposing instead.

Do yourself a favor and wear yourself off all this SOLID, Uncle Bob, Object Oriented, Clean Code crap.

Don't ever use inheritance. Instead of things inheriting from other things, flip the relationship and make things HAVE other things. This is called composition and it has all the positives of inheritance but none of the negatives.

Example: imagine you have a school system where there are student users and there are employee users, and some features like grading that should only be available for employees.

Instead of making Student and Employee inherit from User, just have a User class/record/object/whatever you want to call it that constitutes the account

data class User (id: Int, name: String, email: String)

and for those Users who are students, create a Student that points to the user

data class Student (userId: Id, blabla student specific attributes)

and vice versa for the Employees

data class Employee (userId: Id, blabla employee specific attributes)

then, your types can simply and strongly prevent Students from being sent into functions that are supposed to operate on Employees etc etc (but for those cases where you really want functions that operate on Users, just send in each of their Users! nothing's preventing you from that flexibility if that's what you want)

and for those users who really are both (after all, students can graduate and become employees, and employees can enroll to study), THE SAME USER can be BOTH a Student and an Employee! (this is one of the biggest footguns with inheritance: in the inheritance world, a Student can never be an Employee, even though that's just an accident of using inheritance and in the real world there's actually nothing that calls for that kind of artificial, hard segregation)

Once you see it you can't unsee it. The emperor has no clothes. Type-wise functional programmers have had solutions for all these made up problems for decades. That's why these days even sane Object Oriented language designers like Josh Bloch, Brian Goetz, the Kotlin devs etc are taking their languages in that direction.

I doubt Trump cares about Ulbricht as much as he cares (for whatever reason) about the continued support of various American libertarians (Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and various crypto elites).

While he has made many promises this is significant for being one that he has kept.

Apologies, I did not mean to imply that the set of [dead] posts was "the news".

Rather, I understand and appreciate the moderation strategy as it applies to discussion.

That said, there's a subset of intellectually stimulating news that also happens to not be great discussion material.

In the hypothetical where there's some important news that warrants being seen but you know the discussion would be impossible, why is there no option to just lock the discussion?

Again, this is a hypothetical where the* news is deemed intellectually stimulating, important, or otherwise deserving* to be shown.

I trust you have a reasonable answer, I just didn't see it in your comment.

Small or modular reactors in the US are more than 10 years away, probably more like 15-20. These are facts and not made-up political or pipe-dreaming techno-snobes.
Agreed. Keeping HN free of politics is the right thing to do 99% of the time, but this is significant.

I didn't believe it at first. I had to find the video, watch the whole thing a few times, look up what various Nazi salutes (1930s to modern) look like, before I was finally convinced, because it's too surreal.

I can't think of another explanation other than him being absolutely blasted on drugs, but in that case I can't imagine him giving even a semi-coherent speech. I'm also not familiar with a drug that makes you salute Hitler, but I hear there's some weird research chemicals around these days so who knows? /jk

BTW there are pictures going around of other politicians with their hands in the air, but if you look up the video/context they were not doing what Musk was doing. Musk snapped a classic Heil Hitler salute. If you watch the video it looks worse in context.
I'm sure they're "monitored by intelligence agencies" in the sense of having a line in a database/report somewhere (that probably no-one reads). If the technique mentioned in TFA can be used automatically (and I see no reason it shouldn't) then it will probably be incorporated in due course (if it hasn't been already) - it doesn't have to be 100% accurate, it's just one more datapoint to add to the mix.
