LLM Design/Use has only about as much to with engineering as building a plane has to do with actually flying it.

Every business is kind of a unicorn in its problems NLP is a small part of it. Like even if it did perform cheaply enough to do NLP, how would you replace parts like:
1. Evaluation system that uses Calibration(Human labels)
2. Ground Truth Collection(Human + sometimes semi automated)
3. QA testing by end users.

Even if LLMs made it easier to do NLP there are correlations with the above which means your NLP process is hugely influenced so much that you still need an engineer. If you have an engineer who only for doing NLP and nothing else you are quite hyper specialized like to the extent you are only building planes 0.01%: of the engineering work out there.
Hot take, but anything is likely to work, as long as there is demand for your product. Some might make less or more money than the conventional approach, but if people really need your product, they will do anything needed. So just focus on demand, imo.
I know all cars can’t be perfect but as a 2010 Prius owner (I probably shouldn’t complain given it’s 15 years old) it has had several well documented issues that never prompted a recall.

I was hit with a bad oil gasket that causes the engine to burn oil. It’s so much work to replace their solution is to replace the entire engine. My solution is to keep putting oil in it. I was told by the dealer this is common over 70k miles.

The steering controls (heat, volume, cruise) stopped working pretty early on. It was well over $1k to fix, mostly labor. Apparently the connection they use is prone to failure.

Leaves me wondering if my next car will be a Toyota. Maybe if they adopted Apple CarPlay.

That being said, batteries are still good and I’ve been pretty impressed how low the maintenance has been.

where are you supposed to put the DID document on your domain? All documentation describes putting the .well-known/atproto-did file but not the actual DID document.
Customer owned co-operatives are an established business model. First one was founded in Rochdale, England, in 1844, and is still operating today as a convenience chain called simply "Co-op", across the UK.

The main advantage to this is that it gives customers incentive to support the business financially, not just take the assets. You can still have cashflows in way that don't exist in open source models, and around products that can't be open sourced (like loafs of bread, pints of milk, as per the Co-op model).
Considering the IBM "Big Bertha" LCD was an obtainable product in 2001, it doesn't seem too far-fetched that high resolution LCDs existed in some R&D labs years earlier.

It's not quite a 4K monitor, but I'll tell you it was pretty amazing to those of us who saw it demonstrated back then. This was a qualitatively different thing than we were familiar with. And, as I recall, it took 2 or 4 DVI inputs to drive it from typical graphics cards of the era. A single display output could not drive these kinds of pixel counts.
I'm amazed how much was accomplished by "modding".

Auto paint looks great. They probably have a clearcoat layer. Skin still looks bad, though. I suspect that Cyberpunk 2077 lacks a subsurface scattering layer in the content. Is that correct? If there's no info there, rendering mods can't improve on it. It's worth thinking about using some Midjourney type system to generate subsurface scattering layers for existing models and make skin look better.

I've used something called "Deep Bump", which uses machine learning to generate normals for flat images. It's great for brick and stone, OK for bark, poor for plants. That probably reflects the training set, and could be improved.
this one is especially bad since they somehow broke pinch zoom as well, it now scrolls in addition to zooming

As I've been listening to Mythos recently, I must point out that it is also because Zeus cursed the Bee

> In his final response on the matter he declared that she will be a Queen of a colony of workers that will aid her in gathering honey. However, Greek Gods were never truly honourable in their wishes unless it benefitted them directly. In addition to her swarm of workers she was also granted a fatal sting, but this sting would be fatal to her or her colony if they ever used it on another. It was from then on that the honeybees’ was barbed; meaning that if their weapon was ever to be “deployed” that the individual that used their sting would not survive the attack.

Yeah, my fridge has been virtually empty of ultra-processed foods for years. Mounjaro silenced the little voice saying "hey, why not go dig into the leftovers?", and when I do find myself grabbing a late-night snack (because my glucose monitor says I need one), I find it much easier to eat a little scoop of yogurt rather than wiping out most of the chicken I cooked for my lunches that week. I have to remind myself to finish things off before they go bad, now.
Yeah, I think anyone w/ old Jetsons knows what it's like to be left high and dry by Nvidia's embedded software support. Older models are basically just ewaste. Since the Digits won't be out until May, I guess there's enough time to wait and see - at least to get a sense of what the actual specs are. I have a feeling the FP16 TFLOPS and the MBW are going to be much lower than what people have been hyping themselves up for.

Sadly, my feeling is that the big Strix Halo SKUs (which have no scheduled release dates) aren't going to be competitively priced (they're likely to be at a big FLOPS/real-world performance disadvantage, and there's still the PITA factor), but there is something appealing about about the do-it-all aspect of it.
"Obesity is caused by compulsive excess calorie intake."

OMG. Please don't try to lecture a STEM PhD in Science.

Obesity is caused by many things. Genetics, epigenetics, psychology, bad food (highly processed, addictive taste), social interactions, gut microbiome, hormone balance disruptions (plastics?) possibly even viral infections.

Kennedy may be many things. Maybe even an idiot. With the statement that "Ozempic will not make America healthy again" he is right. If you have a smoking epidemic, better lung cancer treatment is not the right answer. What again does not include that better lung cancer treatments should not be available.

I've heard in Europe the kids are taught script using fountain pens, which are actually faster when you don't pick up a pen.

In the US, 25+ years ago when cursive was taught, we were largely using pencils and crappy bic pens. At which point, you don't really get the benefit of staying in contact with the paper for longer.

This might be part of the disconnect.

Is the cybertruck a commercial or a passenger vehicle? If tesla want to reclassify it as a commercial vehicle then they can do the conformity testing under those regulations, and then it will be subject to all the other rules such as class of license needed to drive it, having a tacho, having a speed limiter etc. If they want to sell it as a passenger vehicle then it needs to comply with those regulations - which, by the way, are still the same as the EU ones, so this isn't a UK-only issue.

Vast majority of eInk devices are equally fragile. It's not unique to Boox. They use a glass substrate that's suspectible to cracking. A handful of devices use plastic like the Kobo Forma but they're a rarity. While Boox's response to you was bad, personally I've had no issues with my Boox screens despite traveling with them and having them for years.
But domains could be that central authority, in a way that regular "verified names" can't be.

With social media handles, it's the eternal game of finding something that's available everywhere, or doing the awkward dance of "i'm @foo (except for platforms B and C, where i'm @_foo)".

I wonder if there is a future for a service mapping domains to human-interpretable names, though?

I tried to find new gas vs electric car sale prices in a couple European countries, but I couldn’t easily find a reputable source.

With how active European governments are on legislation to curb carbon emissions, I assumed the proposition of a new electric vehicle to a new gas vehicle would be at least as good as the US (over the lifetime of the car, higher initial cost for EV, but lower maintenance costs).

https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/europe...

Of course, this only applies to people with a home with a space to park and charge their car, and whose everyday destinations are mostly within an hour.

Edit: looks like small diesel cars are still available in Europe, so taking those as the base option, I can see how an EV would be expensive. This option doesn’t exist in the US, though.

The best way to change your lifestyle is to change it, and GLP-1 agonists make it easier to change your lifestyle. In fact, they don't work at all if you don't. Someone who's unable to change their diet and exercise routines while taking a GLP-1 agonist wasn't going to be able to do it without the medication, either.

And this talk of "dependency on medication" is ridiculous. Lots of people take medication every day to live a better life, or they use medical devices like eyeglasses and hearing aids, etc. That's one of the blessings of modern society.

In any case: that manhua is one of the least bad stories, but the singular focus on "advancing to the next level" (incredibly popular in Chinese stories, for some reason) gets quite dull after a while. It's just that "Soul Land" manages to somewhat mask it; reading much of anything else Chinese is like going up an endless staircase (get trashed; level-up; reclaim face by trashing the baddies; loop).

instead of

Ask HN: Is Hacker News the same as it was in the 2010s, if not then why?
Reading what Paul Graham said in "What I've Learned from Hacker News" (2009) it seems like it was a very harsh mockery of today. In the top feed there are news about AMD, Toyota, Minecraft updates, sometimes an article slips through, for example, about neural networks for juniors. It seems strange to me, yes, HN has "news" in the name, but initially this is a place where you come to share experience for free and get it, give life to good authors. No need to say this problem is provoked by the growth of popularity, I know a site on almost the same topic with the same community of more than 10 million in another language (I can cite in the comments) and for more than ten years, articles about programming, IT continue to appear there and does not turn into a news portal for any case related to science. I can only assume that this caused the absence of tags and downvotes, as on SO for articles, since these two points allow you to quickly search for information, get a reaction, even if the topic is rare, and not give way to bad articles, however I am not sure, so I am asking you: why?

No, it's not. I use a book to generate a string of numbers and I can write them on a sheet of paper. If I put that paper in a room and lock the room with a key, I need the key to access the paper, but the numbers on the paper are in no way derived from the door key.

You are incorrect in your understanding of the word derived.

I've dived head first into Bluesky and AT Proto in the last 2 months. The platform is amazing and I was able to grow an app from 0 to 30k users in that time[1].

I have also been long pondering what puts me off social media and how I could fix it. Often times it is the ease by which anyone can create new anonymous accounts, those accounts can be used to easily brew up a Firestorm of Falsehood[2]. Identity is a strong part of this and domain name verification isn't enough to solve this.

One potentially radical idea I've had is to form a social network of verified humans. Where each human is only allowed a single account. This is possible, while remaining anonymous to other users. I think the only way in which this can be done is by relying on passport (and other government IDs) verification. I have actually built a prototype of this (still very much a WIP)[3]. Of course, the barrier to entry is tough, if anyone has thoughts/concerns and suggestions on how I can make this happen I'd love to hear them.

Edit: To those downvoting I'd love to hear why, please :)

What poll? Every reputable pollster said the opposite.

> You may not agree with the 10% of the population that sides with Hamas, but that’s enough to cause an election to flip

I don’t and it’s not because of where they are. State-level polls on the issue show it’s irrelevant. That’s why it was ignored. The fact that people were willing to throw the election on this single issue certainly changed my view on the matter, and I know two Republican Senators who took it as a license to be more aggressive against Palestine and Iran.
> If you have a smoking epidemic, better lung cancer treatment is not the right answer.

You’re correct, but Ozempic isn’t a lung cancer treatment, it’s a supremely successful smoking cessation aid. I don’t understand how you’re struggling with this metaphor as a Science STEM PhD in Science.

Obesity is a physics problem: you can gain weight on the healthiest food imaginable, and you can lose weight on a diet of marshmallows. Ozempic attacks the lack of control over the calorie input, the only thing that ultimately matters in this equation.
