ooo what a fun game! Good guess on my age.

Now estimate the age of the International Court of justice, the United Nations, and dozens of international aid organizations who have called Israel's actions as a genocide? lol or do you consider them to be Iranian proxies too?
It seems AMD has to choose between monetizing the GPUs right now by selling them at the maximum effective price, or forgoing that gain and selling the GPUs at cost and increasing GPU market share in the future. The choice between short-term gain and long-term gain.
Anybody who knows a little about testing and IQ eventually figures out this is not a perfect rating.

Sometimes there is an outlier that makes the whole thing seem suspect in some way or another.

If a truly intelligent person were to achieve only a mediocre score on a test like this, the article could very well be a "measured" response to that discrepancy alone. "Extensively" measured really, this is quite technical and not a short blog post.

To the degree that it can be measured of course . . .

Yeah, like the sibling comments I can confirm that this is a core part of the YT algorithm now and has been so for at least a year.
Bottom line is: it is reasonable for governments to exercise control over the information environment their citizens experience, especially when social media has such potential to sow chaos and instability.

Look at how the US internet fuelled the fires of the Arab Spring / HK protests / Jan 6th / Any number of colour revolutions in Europe. Even today, we see X being used as a platform to encourage protests against governments in UK and Germany. National sovereignty is contingent on digital sovereignty - everyone is going to need a firewall.
LoL you have to bribe doctors to take care of you in not only China but also multiple EU countries: Hungary, Bulgaria, Greece, Romania.
> It absolutely destroys criticisms of China banning Facebook, etc.

What is that criticisms about? US and EU should ban that too.
They're "just the same" in the sense that they would surely both use similar tools in the information war. Just like they're "just the same" in having submarines, fighter jets, etc etc.

The content of the information war or different, but it's still a war, and the idea that the US would just cede all advantages to Russia because they're above using bots strikes me as faintly ridiculous.
Yeah, the tunnel is probably at least half the overhead.
It is hilarious to see “do more work for less returns” being bandied about on a business web forum.
I understand the term the same way, but I don't think "traditional NLP" died with LLMs, traditional NLP already died with deep learning 7ish years ago, with LSTMs and CNNs, the gains from such models trained end-to-end are so huge it just doesn't make sense to chop up the tasks like that.
And when Meta was used to undermine our (UK) elections, we should be able to force a sale to British ownership too then presumably?

As it looks now Trump will facilitate a deal within 90 days - Biden could have done that and left the US with a much healthier media landscape.

You are free to call Biden more principled but to me it looks like a shot in the foot.
This looks like it could improve the LLM web search tools in my gptme agent (Google and DDG). I wonder how it would compare to using Perplexity.

Shame about the JS-less Google results situation mentioned at the top of the README.

Good catch, indeed a measurement matrix is needed if the state and measurement are of different dimensions or require a (linear) transformation. For that use Y = H*z where H is the measurement matrix and z is the observation vector.

For UKF the Y is still a multidimensional Gaussian and computing K is the same. The mean and covariance of Y is computed from Z and the nonlinear measurement function using the unscented transform.
It is?

The problem has no easy solution.

At the end of the day, either users are really in control for what they can or they cannot talk about or it's censored one way or another and thus not free.

Information war is complex and if we don't allow our foes to express their povs then all we're left is our own manipulated media. If we do allow it we might face a spread of a different kind of information.

I wish this was all solved by allowing everybody to spread whatever information and educating citizens since young age about raising a lot of doubt about anything they hear/see in the news/socials.

But again this is also complicated on a social media level especially with those auto feeder algorithms that will either push you controversial content because it makes views or just because you stumbled on few videos on the topic so it's gonna push you even further in the hole.

In any case there's no simple solution.

The issue with China is that our own information and misinformation cannot reach them either.

We allowed Russian state media for long on our platforms because they allowed our on theirs too. Reddit or YouTube or X were never banned there. But again 90% of Russians get informed by tv, and the minority that doesn't gets it on VK or other Russian social media.
Address Not Found
Well, based on the article, if there was a memory leak then they should see the steady increase in memory consumption, which was not the case.

The only explanation I can see (if their conclusion is accurate) is that the end result of the symbolization is more than 400MB additional memory consumption (which is a lot in my opinion), however the process of the symbolization requires more than 2GB additional memory (which is incredibly a lot).
And the splitting into CDNA and RDNA comes from the same direction: market segmentation, to allow much higher prices for the CDNA data-center GPUs, while keeping the gamer-focused RDNA GPUs affordable for mere mortals. Of coures this backfires by making the powerful GPUs not available for mostly anybody anymore to experiment on.

For example this blog post, about how great MI300X is. Really, what do I care -- I'm not a billionaire.
I’m too old to be optimistic but this was a great final message from the Biden administration: that the US still has the courage and power to stand up for itself and fight back. Regardless of what happens in the next 4 years of the coward administration that’s coming, the phantom of a real president/government will at least (hopefully) be there.
It's not illegal to publish biased media in the US. Not sure where you got that idea.
For certain file formats, it's true (e.g. gif), but I gotta say- I use "ffmpeg -i input.mov output.mp4" after taking a video on mac, and it looks good and is a tiny fraction (sometimes 100x smaller) of the size.

I'm not sure why this answer is buried down so deep. It should be pretty obvious.

The average bee has no reason to ever fight a mammal. Optimizing for a rare event like that makes no sense. It's only once humans started domesticating honey bees that the interaction between honey bees and mammals has become a frequent occurrence.

Surviving attacks against humans that help you survive is a really strange priority.
You have made many claims, but my understanding of this claim

> Cambridge Analytics partnered with Meta to target elections around the world,

is that there was no coordinated effort. Rather, FB's early APIs were extremely permissive, as were many other social media apps trying to be platforms with 3rd-party developers building apps on them. CA exploited this permissivity to obtain a whole lot of PII.

I see LLMs best used as part of a more traditional NLP pipeline.

For example, an approach that does me well is clustering then using LLMs on representative docs. Tools like bertopic are great for this.

I also don't see a clear cut difference between the two in certain areas. Embeddings are critical in LLM pipelines, but for me anyway, also "old school" tools.

I think NLP as described in the article is certainly under threat, but the tools and approaches compliment LLM use well, are far more efficient, and distinguish the pros from the neophytes.

If you're using LLMs for NLP-type tasks, but don't know the NLP tools, you're missing out.
When does X go dark too? It's a platform that spreads hate, racism, misogyny and other right wing fascists agenda under Musk's rule. Or is this OK, is this a new policy of USA?
The title here buries the lede, IMO. Quoting from Epoch AI in the thread:

> We were restricted from disclosing the partnership until around the time o3 launched [...] Our contract specifically prevented us from disclosing information about the funding source and the fact that OpenAI has data access to much but not all of the dataset.

> Regarding training usage: We acknowledge that OpenAI does have access to a large fraction of FrontierMath problems and solutions, with the exception of a unseen-by-OpenAI hold-out set that enables us to independently verify model capabilities. However, we have a verbal agreement that these materials will not be used in model training.

Here, you can read "large fraction" as meaning "everything but the holdout set" - and my understanding is, they haven't disclosed performance on the holdout set.
From the top of my head with dozens of others:

- Not all projects are suitable for hosting by third parties (you may not want to give away the special sauce behind your wannabe next trillion dollar company, or you may be handling sensitive or confidential data like medical records, etc)

- You are immune to the trending process recently referred to as enshittification that consists of providers in a consolidated market like this one giving you an increasingly worse experience to compel you into more expensive plans, i.e. you gain independence and control

- It might be a competitive advantage to your business to still have the lights on when inevitably the centralised platform becomes unavailable to most (think of trading and events like crowdstrike)
Donald Trump also created his own media platform. It's a pillar of the cult. Without them, they can't keep people fearful and misinformed.
That's how I've replaced Google Photos
I've been trying to find the best way to manage my photo library without using Google Photos.

This is a (long) story of how over the years I've tried several alternatives (the good old Picasa, Monument 2, Synology Photos) to end building an Unraid server and test there a lot of self-hosted alternatives, which I compare to finally select Immich, the one that I think is the best for me.
You said you didn’t comprehend why there was hype and I explained why there was hype.

Then you made an analogy and I said your analogy is irrelevant because nobody thinks LLMs are agi nor do they think agi is coming out of LLMs this coming year.
I will point out one of Orwell’s points doesn’t hold up - Mihailovich did collaborate with the Germans towards the end of the war.

Very few countries have any power to control external influence on a social media platform. They don't have much ability to create or distribute a local solution so they have to import one. So when you say those outside NATO don't buy the whole shtick, part of that is they don't have the luxury to do so. They almost have to import such things or just not have them.
This is a different argument, one which I can agree with. I was specifically saying that the argument for how a species acquired a universal trait can't be "because it didn't hurt their fitness that much", you have to have positive pressure for a trait to spread to the entire species (or it must be a trait left over from an ancestor where it had these pressures).
Brexit and Trump #1 would've not happened without the likes of Cambridge analytica targeting undecided voters with precision.

Social media manipulation has already been effective.
Thanks for the answer but i am still not satisfied.

So, the problem seems to be _foreign_ biased media and not biased media in general. General media bias could be made punishable too but this would take away influencial powers.

> a content-neutral conditional ban.

So TikToks content or bias is irrelevant? The only thing left is the adversarial ownership, which is ban worthy. How?
It's obviously a criticism of both, the farmers and the pigs. Orwell was not fond of the USSR either.

Depends on what you want. Currently my focus is N100 based systems to use as lightweight personal computers and small servers (if you can find fanless versions).

I have BeeLink S12 Pro, which I post this comment from, and I like it. However I/O wise, it's not the fastest (x1 NVMe + 2.5" SATA SSD). I also have a GMKTec G3, which has a x2 NVMe and M.2 SATA Slot. I have recently seen a "Minix Z100" fanless, which has x4 NVMe but no SATA, however it has 2.5gbE. Lastly, my parents are using a similar N95 system on Windows 11, and it works pretty nicely for them. All of these systems support 32GB of single channel RAM, but they're plenty fast for simple jobs or simple desktop systems which you won't try to conquer the world.

If you have no power/heat/noise/money upper limit, you can get them in more packed configurations, but that's not what I need, actually.
The Chinese don't really use facebook in the first place do they though? And facebook's utility to China is the same as TikTok's, just less direct: manipulating Americans and other non-Chinese users of Facebook. It seems like people want to be manipulated though.
It also has on bytedance in US.

As does turkey or Germany or whoever when it comes to US socials operating in their countries.

All you need is a court order and all socials will delete whatever content is requested.
I did my Github -> self-hosted Gitlab -> Gitea -> Forgejo journey over the years, and I haven't looked back.

Forgejo is great and it's probably going to become even greater once federation is done (having distributed forks and PRs across multiple instances solves the fragmentation problem of self-hosted solutions).

And I lost my trust in Gitea once it spun off a for-profit branch backed by VC money (which was exactly the reason why it was forked into Forgejo).

The only thing I lost from Gitlab is the out-of-the-box CI/CD platform. But I could migrate my pipelines to Drone CI and trigger them via webhooks. Just keep in mind that, depending on the complexity of your Gitlab pipelines, this may not always be an option. Anyway, for me hosting a Gitlab server that hogged up 5GB of RAM to serve a couple of small projects was a big no-no. Forgejo takes 500MB of RAM at peak.
From the FAQ, forˈd͡ʒe.jo, to my midwestern ear, "4 Jay yo", Esperantese for Forge. A fork of Gitea [0] but managed via a non profit, no premium upsells, all freely licensed [1](GPL) etc.

Good to see their community outreach is via Matrix and Mastadon. My kind of nerds.

Apparently this is what Codeberg is running out, if you click . Looks like gitea/github to me, nothing wrong with that [2] source code is available from the little branch icon in the top right corner, hosted on codeberg which TIL is a forgejo instance [3]

Search is the most if not only useful application of LLMs. In this space there is also Phind. It seems I use Perplexity as often as Google nowadays.

This is almost certainly true. What I find most offensive is the total unwillingness of elected politicians of both parties to admit that protectionism is the real reason for the ban. Our politicians believe we are stupid.

> The Chinese government wants Europe and the US to fall to them. The good does not outweight the bad, in my opinion.

Have you been repeated this for years that now you take it at face value?

I'm no fan of the Chinese regime, but as an European it's my biggest ally spying on me, lying (Iraq/Lybia) and manipulating me.

China is on the other part of the world and it's history it has never bothered neither Europe nor US. In fact it's our troops that conquered and killed Chinese in millions, not them.
There are many useful things that are not turing complete and still considered programming.

Regular Excel formulas are always terminating and therefore not computationally complete.

SQL without recursive CTEs is always terminating and therefore not computationally complete.

Simply typed lambda calculus is always terminating and therefore not computationally complete.

It's not the same, but restriction to terminating subsets gives very nice guarantees for a lot of program properties that would otherwise be undecidable.

Show HN: I built a simple blogging platform for humans who write
I've been blogging for 15+ years. I moved from Blogger to WordPress to Ghost and eventually being dissatisfied with all of them (primarily because of bloat), I built a platform for myself and opened it for public.

After building it, I searched a bit more and found some good ones (write as, bear blog, etc) but it was quite late.

All in all, Lykhari is a simple blogging platform for writers, essayists, journalists, personal bloggers, and above all for humans. Businesses are not welcome. Targeting businesses brings money but also bloat. A platform should exist which is simple and kept simple.
I'm remembering the Redmine slide from Zach Holman's talk, where he makes fun of the overly complicated Redmine issue creation screen, compared to what the GitHub screen looked like (back in 2011).

I guess "The Cold War" is very specific to a historical period, and the term "grey zone conflict" is a generalization of what went on there. Also the Cold War involved lots of proxy wars, not thing "grey zone conflict" necessarily does.

Also, I'm starting to feel like the vagueness of "are we at war or not?" is an intentional feature that gives people in power leverage to gaslight the public. That applies to both cold war and grey zone conflict.
Show HN: Top of Hacker News
Yesterday afternoon at a friend's hackathon, I built a website where you can see an aggregated view of Hacker News. You can check out who the top posters are (both regular submissions and Show HN'ers), what interesting things they posted, and what the top posts in general are.

Data gets updated from the Hacker News BigQuery database.

I've had a lot more luck with science fiction in professional shops than in charity shops. In the latter I tend to find only mainstream fiction and non-fiction. It's exceedingly rare to find any sci-fi at all. I wish I knew one where people brought it in.

One thing I enjoy is when people get rid of their computer science textbooks. They are sometimes older editions, but can be had for less than 10% of the original price. It's rare, though, so just have to keep going and take the opportunity when it arises.
Definitely power... bought by billionaires. A few government officials outright said they want to be able to control the narrative.
For my explanation I take a further definition of hand and handedness, maybe you find it compelling.

They have no hands because a hand has chirality, from the Greek word for hand. This means that it's mirror image can not be overlayed or superimposed with the original object and there is a distinction between left and right hand.
The hand of a Lego figurine lacks this very specific property.
I don't understand these conspiracies, why would Apple put so much thought & effort into implementing security & privacy measures, so much as participating in CFRG and submitting RFCs, publishing papers, technical articles, etc. only to maliciously subvert it. If and when they do, they WILL get caught out, and they will lose something valuable that they hold, goodwill. This is a good case to apply Occam's razor.
Checking out https://v10.next.forgejo.org/explore/repos , the main thing I notice in comparison to GitHub is how fast this is. I wish GitHub was so fast.
