With only 4 optional Params you can just have 15 queries. Heh

I remember back when everything was someone's idea and others would both compliment it and improve it. Now it is like things are unchangable holy scripture. Just let `Null < 42 or Null > 42 or name = Null` all be true. What is the big deal? I can barely wrap my head around joins, the extra luggage really isn't welcome. Just have some ugly pollyfills for a decade or so. All will be fine.
Have you spoken to any PI, postdoc, or student, or literally anybody in the academia about this?
Thanks for the reply. I saw on reddit there are a worrying amount of reports (and photos) of Shelley relays catching fire....!

Perhaps have a look! Thanks for all your work again, I love HA
What are you talking about? The NIH funded the research through Ecohealth alliance. It was funded from the US and created in the Wuhan lab. We've known the virus was created in a lab and not natural since early 2020.

> The question of whether we should do gain-of-function research is a fairly complex cost/benefit analysis.

Has there ever been benefit to such research? People fall back on wishy-washy "we could learn ___" when trying to defend it, but with how long it's been going on have we ever actually had a solid benefit from it?
The base conversion insight is annoying; they mandate the form of the input in detail down to individual characters and mandate that you can't use numeric methods, except that in this one situation you can completely control the input and do so in a numeric way. You can't change programming language after starting, but you can change the input format on-demand? If you can choose an arbitrary input pre-processor, just choose that the input is the desired output and your program can echo it.

By rule 7: "Numeric types, number literals and their associated methods and operations are forbidden. The input array must contain a string representations of the numbers. The programmer can use whatever representation they see fit with the only restriction being that it could only contain letters, numbers and symbols that could be typed with a single stroke (they didn’t specify which keyboard layout, in mine, ñ and ç can be typed with a single stroke but I assumed it was an US keyboard). The max length of a string representing a number is 6 characters."

The numbers they care about are 1 - 1000 and the max length is 6 that leaves two spare digits, so decide that the input format is "tf0000" where the first two characters indicate if the number is a multiple of three, or five, respectively.

^ Article lede line.

Within:

A Pornhub spokesperson who goes by Ian (he did not provide a last name) told me that age-verification laws will lead children to seek out porn from even more troubling sources.

This is a US story about potential coming restriction on US hosted sites and the requirement for modern semi anonymous ID passes given that:

The Supreme Court unanimously struck down this section of the law in the 1997 ..

.. repeated the lower court’s finding that “existing technology did not include any effective method for a sender to prevent minors from obtaining access to its communications on the Internet without also denying access to adults.”

“Until gateway technology is available throughout cyberspace, and it is not in 1997, a speaker cannot be reasonably assured that the speech he displays will reach only adults because it is impossible to confine speech to an ‘adult zone.’”

Now days:

In 2018, Louisiana had implemented a digital-ID-card app, called LA Wallet, that state residents could use instead of a physical ID. Schlegel realized that the same system could be used to share a user’s “coarse” age—whether they are older or younger than 18, and nothing else—with a porn company. The “gateway technology” that O’Connor noted didn’t exist in 1997 was now a reality.

But, again, this is restricted to US sites so far .. there are many non-US porn sources, a good many that make PornHub look tame.
With how healthcare is handled in America … good luck to poor people getting access to anything like that.

>Right and you should’ve stated this in the beginning but you didn’t.

I didn't think it was necessary to specify "under normal economic constraints and not a thought experiment where we can spend unlimited money on transit". I forgot where I was. Lesson learned.
Looks like it is enterprise ready interface.
> The US government surprised many researchers on 17 October when it announced that it will temporarily stop funding new research that makes certain viruses more deadly or transmissible.

So it's not clear what the actual order entails and how temporary it was. And the whole advisory language ("asked scientists") seems to be kinda distinct from "banned".

> The grants are all public and document gain of function research, which was illegal since President Obama had banned it through an executive order.

In general, these kinds of conspiracy theories just collapse when you start pulling the threads.
It's a punchline still for the west. See: Top Gear Vietnam special, with the American Flag bike following the convoy blaring "Born in the USA" by Springsteen - a song which most definitely was NOT pro-Vietnam war.

> I just think it is interesting how hard it is to not have an opinion about something beyond "I don't know."

I hadn't thought of this before. I wonder if we naturally formulate an opinion or hypothesis when we're curious about something. Which I did again just now.. huh.
A much more common story would be people knowingly cutting corners because of management pressure/demotivation/etc, then fixing the resulting bugs. It's easy for somebody doing that to look like a hard-working hero compared to the programmer who just avoided the problems in the first place.
I really wanted to switch to this but unfortunately it doesn't have support for Xwayland scaling :( in case youre using 4k, On Wayland only KDE and Gnome seem to have gotten this working.

Kibina is an overhead nightmare.

1 million logs per day is a lot. Don’t want to diminish that. However, standard logging on a robust system can handle that. Store and compress them. Move them to something like s3 to process them or use them for analytics or retention requirements.

Nah, then OpenAI gets to play the “IDK why he took credit, there’s no public money and he did nothing” card.

It’s smart on their part.
Actually, my first though would be that there were other outbreaks, but we only documented the one in Atlanta because the CDC happened to be there.

We should expect that the first outbreaks documented are those that happen to be close to facilities capable of identifying and documenting them.

I would too, but I'd point out that what you are doing is playing the game, not actually delivering value. My annoyance is with the parent blog post which seems to imply that delivering value == sycophantic behavior, which just isn't true.
> I've wanted this for ages, Laptop ergonomics are horrible. When traveling I use a portable monitor, keyboard, mouse. Yes it's annoying to travel with all that but worth it not to end my work days with neck pain and a migraine.

Have you considered dropping the portable monitor for an angled laptop stand that will elevate the screen to eye level? I've got one that collapses down small enough to fit in a reasonably deep pocket.
The whole query builder is an optional abstraction built onto the ORM. It has many benefits, but will also never completely support every SQL variant in existence, as is true with all query builders. so I feel as though the only responsible way to build ORMs is with escape hatches, and this is one of them.
Can anyone just make a simple program that will use one of these better TTS engines. I just want a a dialog box, a big button that says "Generate text" and you paste in the content you want converted to receive an MP3 file. Fully compiled binaries for Linux, Windows, and Mac, please?
That we disagree on this is exactly why who you're playing with matters. I'd have never gotten to lawyer, certainly wouldn't have connected log. Line is a very faint possibility. Mail is the only one I'd have gotten for sure.
Reading anything about this war makes me tear up, and I'm not even Vietnamese.

I strongly recommend anyone who travels to Ha Noi to visit Hoa Lo prison - it's an excellent exhibition that shows the horror of both colonialism and war, and i think is made in a genuine good faith effort to promote peace into the future.
In my experience, a lot of the talk about AI making engineers obsolete is coming from people that have some odd, deep-seated hated towards SWEs. I don't know why people in tech receive so much vitriol compared to all other white collar workers but they definitely do.

I have a family member who genuinely hates SWEs and the "lazy dorks" in tech, but, it's like, Buddy, your wife works in tech... You worked at a tech startup that failed...You are now trying to start a startup with only an AI writing the software. You are in tech! But, since he can't read or write code and just delegates to an AI, it's somehow different in his mind. It's honestly exhausting to be around.
Does it do that? Why?
800k. They say they came from earlier versions of their own models, with a lot of bad examples rejected. They don't seem to say which models they got the "thousands of cold-start" examples from earlier in the process though.

Well sure but the OP wrote

>if you had to optimize for raw speed, why not choose mutable data?

So in context we are talking about a case where we have to optimize for raw speed.

It doesn’t matter that immutable data is easier to reason about if you don’t have the performance budget to go that route.

Topic aside, it is often strategically useful in these types of contexts to convey lower confidence than you actually have. Saying you have high confidence without the ability to provide the reason encourages other parties to wonder whence that confidence comes, which may induce them to search for an answer you don’t want them to search for. There are many audiences for these public statements and you have to thread the needle of desired effect without unintended side-effect. Ambiguity is an advantage.

There are also many cases where adversaries both know the true story, and know the other knows the true story, but neither side finds it in their strategic interest to publish the truth e.g. the optics are terrible for both for different reasons.

That said, this particular case of the CIA publishing a report seems performative for domestic politics rather than strategic, which also happens all the time. There was nothing new or novel. The internal view of the intelligence community has been pretty consistent for years.
how does HN even works, why is this random link on the home page?
Some of us are "spoiled" by Rust. About ten years ago the Erlang argument may have been somewhat compelling. Now we use software libraries that don't crash in the first place. Not every Rust library meets that metric, but using Rust as a baseline and a small handful of other patterns/practices it's not hard to meet these days.
The lab in question is BSL-2* while viruses like this are supposed to be researched in BSL-3*. If it was a lab leak, they were using insufficient safety protocols to keep the virus contained. It also implies they're probably still doing the same for much worse viruses.

*I think these were the levels, I'm going from memory.
> DeepSeek censors its own response in realtime as soon as Xi Jinping is mentioned

https://x.com/wongmjane/status/1882881778974937524

This censorship is pretty interesting. Reading the post it also makes me wonder, are different censors provided depending on input language? Different models served to different regions? This can also get complicated due to the stochastic nature of model output, though the linked tweet appears to be post generation filtering. It's much harder to determine generation based filtering especially if done in subtle ways like just reducing the probability.

I don't think this behavior is just limited to Chinese based models fwiw. A lack of transparency makes this space difficult to navigate. Though maybe the saving grace is that filtering is very hard, even meaning that it is hard to entirely remove certain subjects from pretraining data. (Have fun going through 10s of trillions of tokens)

I visited Poland in Summer 2023 and this guy was celebrated in some way almost anywhere I went. There is a statue of him in front of the WW2 museum in Gdansk which many consider the best of its kind in Europe.

Mr. Pilecki was a Polish nationalist. He didn't want Hitler ruling Poland. After the war he felt the same way about Stalin and viewed him as just another tyrant and fought the Communists. Poland's leaders at the time were weak men who were threatened by this national hero opposing them. Sadly they did the only thing they could do and that was to kill him.

The artist Bansky has a great quote:

"They say you die twice. Once when you stop breathing and the second, a bit later on, when somebody mentions your name for the last time."

If that is true I believe that Witold Pilecki will live forever.
Why … how … Laos?

I believe the censorship is at the semantic level, not the token level. Same way RL allows training model responses independent of eventual input/output languages.

I’m sure the goal is to remove stuff in pre training, but it is sufficient to RL it away. Same way OpenAI models doubtlessly have training data relating to bio weapons or pedophilia, but it is pretty effectively suppressed via RL.
Which means this; it gives further weight to the lab leak theory, and shows the reasoning behind it.

I don't have time to watch the 3hr debate or read all of that article (which makes some misrepresentative statements, and like your response, is rather venomous in tone), but here is the response from rootclaim about the debate outcome: https://blog.rootclaim.com/covid-origins-debate-response-to-...

I also know from experience that scientists, and people in general, are often not well trained in the kind of probabilistic reasoning that is required for combining and weighing up multiple sources of evidence.
I can tell you why people hate tech... becuase so much of it is built poorly and causes nothing but frustration for people. These people are stuck on calls with robots when they need help, or angry that they lost a password and need to prove their identity, they are irritated by broken, ad riddled websites.

I used to think I'd be part of the solution... but these days it really feels like nobody in the industry is willing to admit how bad it is.

If you remove the factors of environment and incentives then no living thing does anything, ever. We have no less control of this than any other collective human endeavor, and even if individual responsibility alone can’t practically stop something bad from happening, individuals are still morally responsible for their own contribution. It’s very comforting to absolve yourself of responsibility for something bad because everybody else is doing the same thing. Philosophically, it doesn’t hold water. A looter is no less morally culpable for stealing because they had significant incentives to loot a store, everybody with them was also looting the store, and there’s no way their abstinence could have stopped the store from being looted

Really? How? That's very interesting
More languages helps it at novel translation tasks, models have been tested with languages not in/barely in the corpus and a translation book in context and were able to do an ok job. You'll also have things like mulimodal where you want to preserve all the tonality and emphasis in the input language.

As was said in another comment on this thread, some agencies chose to add accessibility into their DEI programs. A11y needs were already legally protected (and still is). Unfortunately by tying it into a political concept (that is not precisely protected by law) that was implemented via an executive order, the agencies that chose to add the A to their DEI ended up putting those budgets for a11y at a temporary risk by executive order too. The government still needs to follow the ADA law and budget for that accordingly.
> R1 distillations are going to hit us every few days

I'm hoping someone will make a distillation of llama8b like they released, but with reinforcement learning included as well. The full DeepSeek model includes reinforcement learning and supervised fine-tuning but the distilled model only feature the latter. The developers said they would leave adding reinforcement learning as an exercise for others. Because their main point was that supervised fine-tuning is a viable method for a reasoning model. But with RL it could be even better.

War happens to be my least favourite colour for a bikeshed...
I’ve been seeing people claim that DeepSeek’s base model was trained off OpenAI, and that you can achieve DeepSeek R1 through some simpler and less expensive process. I don’t really understand it, but if LLMs are becoming good at coding and if a human can derive one LLM from another, then it would make sense that we are technically close to AI having the potential to replicate itself. But that doesn’t feel like the same as an AI have the sentience to replicate itself.
