Interesting to see CFAR involved. I'm a big fan of Julia Galef. She's the president and cofounder of CFAR.

One of the things that struck me most was an interview with her years ago talking about the people that CFAR let into their programs. She said something to the effect that they didn't let people in that were trying to change other people's minds, but that were out to clarify their own thinking.

I really liked that. I'm a big fan of intellectual honesty: pursuing truth (however loosey-goosey that is for humans) rather needing to be right or win the argument.
I don't think he's quiet quit but interest rates are high and he's realized there's way more money in robots and self driving.

The goal of a good CEO is to be forward thinking and that's what he's doing. Tesla continues to grow on many fronts and is still accumulating money in the bank.

Meanwhile most other car companies are in big, big trouble. (Volkswagen, GM, etc)
How would it use 1kW? Socket SP3 tops at 280W and the system in the article has a 850W PSU so I'm not sure what I'm missing.
It's not about well-rehearsed acting to bluff clients (like conventional management consultants).

Impro is about improvisation: having a deep reservoir of experiences and reference points, but no pre-planned templates; empathizing with the client's situation; thinking fast; being open-minded and creative; challenging received wisdom; pulling disparate ideas together; assembling a synthesis; embodying a story; imagining a solution; presenting difficult concepts smoothly; having conviction in your ideas; high risk tolerance; be convincing; be committed to doing what you say and implement what you imagine; create a technical solution, an operational scenario, a bottom-up deployment plan, and a path to win strategic acceptance based on results.
The app is called “RapidAPI” after it got bought, now apparently the team got bought by Nokia so would not buy into it too much at this point. It used to be a nice native app.
The market is strongly influenced by the culture though. For example nothing now is actually different to before covid. The only thing that has changed is the culture - people like working from home and are less willing to give it up.

Working hours is simply a negotiation between employers (who obviously want more hours for the same price), and workers (who want the opposite). Again culture has a large influence on that - it's very difficult to persuade people to work 6 days a week (in the West) because culturally we no longer do that.

You can't ignore culture and just say "let the market decide" because culture is part of the market.
Can I use this with cline?!
The trouble is, to talk about WHY Musk is attempting to seize control of parts of the US government and why the Trump administration is attempting to censor mass quantities of data would be a political conversation.

Hacker News isn't designed for this. The point at which it becomes mass censorship that computer hackers (in their capacity as The Internet) might take an active role in routing around, is more or less this point: you're quite correct that this is worrying, but up to this point it's been a deeply political conversation and only as it becomes mass censorship and control by technological means, does it become really on-message for Hacker News.
Does it work with cline?
The issue is that this article is conflating (as do many, many articles about the topic) the distilled versions of R1 (basically llama/qwen reasoning finetunes) with the real thing. We are not even talking about quantized versions of R1 here, so it's not quite accurate to say you're running R1 here.
It's all in the model. If you look for a good definition of "intellingence" that is compression. You can see ZIP algorithm as a primordial antenate of Chatgpt :))
>so I do wonder if it's missing any new state of the art / best practises.

>As a software dev, I have all these boxes I could use, that come with so many caveats "if you do this, but don't do this, no do that, don't do that"... It's very tricky trying to work out how to glue the pieces together without already being in the field of crypto

Until you know more, strongly consider suggesting the company just hires someone who knows that. Just because you're available to do it, doesn't mean you should just yet.
Protest doesn't do anything. I marched plenty and it accomplished nothing except letting like-minded people blow off a bit of steam and feel like something we did mattered. If anything it was just a distraction.
That only makes sense if everyone downloads every data set in case they need it one day. I unhappily agree that's the case with private companies' data, because any company's not guaranteed to be around tomorrow. But the government should be a steward of the data it collects.

I also wonder how many of these data sets were required by law.

Not any more than electricity.

With electricity, each thing we convert from petrochemicals to electricity, prevents us from offlining the first power source we'd otherwise decommission.

And the first thing we'd decommission would be the dirtiest power plants, eg Ng, coal, or some such.

H2 can be made clean, and so can electricity. No difference.

What we need to do is scale up clean h2, and support it. More clean tech is better, it's not a competition.
There is something about this comment that is so petty that I had to re-read it. Nice dunk, I guess.
How many r’s in strawberry sherbet?
The very short version is that decent hash functions are very, very fast, take almost no storage to compute and can thus easily be run in parallel. If you store `(,salt ,(HMAC-SHA2-256 salt password)) in your database and it leaks, an attacker can check hundreds of millions of possible passwords every second. The password ‘open sesame’ will get found pretty early, but so will ‘0p3n#s3s4m3$’. Pretty much anything which is not of the form ‘62Jm1QyJKGIZUpb5zARRLM’ will get found pretty quickly.

You want something that is slow and takes a lot of resources to run. PBKDF2 was an early attempt which uses lots and lots of CPU, but it doesn’t use a lot of space. scrypt, bcrypt and Argon2 use lots of CPU and also lots of space in an attempt to make it more expensive to run (which is the point: you want the expected cost of finding a password to be more than the expected value of knowing that password).

That’s one level of issue.

The next level of issue is that when you run a simple system like that the user shares his password with you for you to check that it’s valid. This sounds find: you trust yourself, right? But you really shouldn’t: you make mistakes, after all. An you may have employees who make mistakes or who are malicious. They might log the password the user sent. They might steal the user’s password. Better systems use a challenge-response protocol in which you issue a one-time challenge to the user, the user performs some operation on the challenge and then responds with a proof that he knows his secret.

But those have their own issues! And then there are issues with online systems and timing attacks and more. It’s a very difficult problem, and it all matters what you are protecting and what your threat model is.
It's interesting how Palantir kept ownership over FDE work. When I hire a consultant I own his work. He cannot bring it elsewhere to modify and generalize.

If you're paying that much you're being ripped off. They're $800-900 on eBay and IMO are still overpriced.
That's not the point. Most proponents of a "4 day working week" mean 4/5 of the hours.
If it's the former, it's been common to have "compressed hours" as a flexitime option in many big UK companies for decades.
can the graph be rotated vertically? The text is needlessly difficult to read.

If you look back at Germany in the 19th century, nations like Prussia and Austria had this sort of power struggle between the merchant class and the nobility at the advent of steam power.

in this case the de-facto US nobility (rank-and-file career politicians) are being usurped by the bourgeouise (billionaires like Musk) at the advent of AI and tech by promising the working class a combination of culture war policy and relief from the very capitalist excess they themselves endorse. by reducing congress and senate to a simple debate team (conversely similar to the German National Asssembly) the tech-elite are able to seize power once reserved for the crown.

the question will be, after four years, will they abdicate their power or concentrate it?

https://github.com/usebruno/bruno has the source code. It's a node app so i guess by binary you mean a way to run it without the normal electron wrapper? You should be able to run it standalone though i've never tried it outside it's normal distribution method.
This is what you would expect given the title
That's not how that works. The situation is set up to attempt to produce 'wild crazy radicals' who can be acted against super-aggressively. Failing to run about throwing rocks is a refusal to provide the guilty parties with exoneration for their acts. In effect, 'grassroots movements' directed by adversaries is what got us here, and is overwhelmingly unlikely to get us out.
As far as things like ending EV tax credits musk noted it would hurt his competitors more than him.

It’s all obvious corruption.
Musk was appointed as the administrator of DOGE, itself a subordinate "temporary organization" under the United States DOGE Service (formerly the United States Digital Service).

All of this is happening within the Executive Office of the President, which is essentially fancyspeak to mean the government employees working the Executive Branch of the federal government. Those government employees serve at the pleasure of the President; Congress only has very limited influence (namely budgetary influences from the House and certain positions that require Senate confirmation).

So Musk, being appointed as a part of the Executive Branch, derives authority vested in the President of which Trump has delegated some to Musk for the purposes of implementing and enforcing DOGE policies.

Musk for his part also serves at the pleasure of the President, so whatever he does is ostensibly what Trump wants regardless of who actually does it.
It's too early to tell, but I would not be surprised if later at least a portion of this is found to be "malicious compliance".

For example, President Truman ordered the US military to be (re)integrated. Through malicious compliance, racist officers put their own spin on the orders.

"Well, he didn't say that black officers would get equal access to the officers club, so we won't let them in."

It too a former 5 star general (President Eisenhower) to stamp out the malicious compliance and make it stick.

There was already a case of malicious compliance with the DEI EO on the part of certain US air force personnel taking down material about the Tuskugee Airmen. The new sec def stomped that out within 4 hours.
I think they're basically secular humanists who decided they wanted a more muscular guiding ideology.
If you think that Go's creators "didn't know what they were doing" then I sure hope you exclusively run Windows, and not Unix, UTF-8, nor use anything else they had a hand in, like the JVM or the C programming language.
In fact, you might as well just stop using computers considering how important Go's creators are in this industry. Clearly if they can't be trusted, nothing can.
I expect to pass through this world just once, therefore there be any call options on meme stocks which I may buy, or any cryptographic currency I may pump and dump, let me do it NOW. Let me not defer nor deflect it, for I shall not pass this way again.
These types of false equivalence arguments need to go away. Under Trump norms of career civil servants loyal to doing a good job for the country is being shattered. Institutions that we could trust to be resistant politics are now being weaponized. I would have trusted the CDC under every administration except this one. This administration is demonstrably different.
I've been monitoring online discussions with some interest and the complete lack of self reflection in left-leaning US population is interesting. People who were writing very nasty things about Russians too scared to destroy their lives by protesting against a brutal dictatorship not that long ago now sit on their asses and do nothing, because "what can we do?". Maybe at least some of them now understand what it's like. My sincere sympathies in any case, we understand you very well.
Right, and fundamentally no different than running any other ollama model that can run reasonably on your local machine.
Ten Takes on DeepSeek
What's so bad about this cult is all the murders.

However, if you bracket out all the murders for a second (a big ask), I don't think there's anything particularly special about this cult.

This is just the modern incarnation of something that's been going on for almost a hundred years in California.

In California there are Bohemian social scenes with a mix of high-performing technical people, spiritual/New Age/woo people, and "human potential" secular spirituality and self-improvement.

Magicians and Satanists involved in the founding of JPL (with a cameo from L. Ron Hubbard.) in the 1940s and 1950s. EST seminars, Esalen, UFO movements, communal yoga groups. Lesser known is the "General Semantics" movement (really quite similar to the Rationalists) from the 1950s. All these movements mix and overlap.

Mostly these social scenes are weird but harmless. But genuine cults often form in them and then spin off.

The Rationalists themselves are just another incarnation of this. They may seem totally bizarre, but if you just dig back in the history of California, they look very familiar. They are part of this stew of self-improvement/spirituality/tech/meditation. In particular they are the secular self-improvement people -- one thing they did is run training seminars where they teach you new thought techniques that will help you be more productive and successful. Many of them also engage in Buddhist meditation practices or take psychedelic drugs for exploration. In that scene, cults form. There have been multiple other rationalist-adjacent cults, although those did not kill people thank God.

I think it's a mistake to start analyzing the rationalists' beliefs about Bayesianism and expected utility and all that, to try and wonder how a cult could have possibly formed in this social scene. Nothing should be less surprising.

Now that this cult went on to commit multiple murders -- this is surprising and frightening. Perhaps some of the rationalist beliefs have something to do with it, but since there are a small number of other cults that have committed murders, looking at shared factors across all of them, such as charismatic psychopaths as leaders, may be a better choice.

Edit: upon reading to the very very bottom of the article, the author makes the exact same point. I'll leave this up just in case others aren't good readers either.
The model itself can’t do anything bad despite giving false answers or block them.

Using hosted versions where host collects data or using a unknown software that runs the model is the risk.
Which roles has it worked better for than others?

Do you track engineering hours worked?
Ah you mean it's a better tool than the GIMP for content creation, not that it's the best tool period. I was confused by lumping Photoshop in there in the original statement. (I'd consider Photoshop more like a combination of Krita and the GIMP [i.e., Photoshop is a raster graphics program with both painting and photo manipulation tools], while Illustrator is more analogous to Inkscape [both vector graphics editors])
SCOTUS also decided that the POTUS is above the law. I think that emboldened them a great deal.
The Banned Book Club
I've been following the "rationalist movement" for a long time, and there has always been so many early cult warning signs among the various sub groups. I'm sad that it's gone so far as to result in deaths and murder attempts with some of them. I expect it to get worse as some of the "rationalists" continue to embrace bizarre groupthink irrationality.
Yep, I see.
Palantir is the most distant point in the known tech universe from SAP.
I imagine it could solve crimes if it watched millions of hours of security footage…scary thought. Possibly it could arrest us before we even commit a crime through prediction like that black mirror episode.
Great Job!

Ollama doesn’t run Deepseek, just distilled versions
Found better approach and implemented a Chrome extension that automatically adds -ai to your searches, so it filter out AI summaries:

https://reviews.vc/ai-filter-plugin/

https://github.com/reviewsvc/ai-filter

The plugin has been submitted to the Chrome Store but has not been approved yet. It is super lightweight and will be better to install locally on its own. I personally don’t trust Chrome Store plugins :) So, you can download the archive, review the source and load it unpacked from chrome://extensions
> Like when Biden administration pressured social media to censor information which turned out to be true?

Did the Biden administration go into the offices of social media companies and purge the posts/data?

Every administration pushes back / pressures entities about messages that they think is wrong. Every administration has a message and story that it wants told. It's what press offices are for, for example. Remember, in 2017, when
White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Trump's inauguration had the largest crowd's in history of inaugurations?

* https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-38707722

But this is about purging raw data that is used for analysis, and not a particular story. (The data can be used to support or debunk a particular message of course.)
The author concluding this, doesn't make it so. And his conclusions are linking to another article, claiming current h2 cost and production means the future will be the same.

Which is the same as claiming we'd never have solar now, because solar was expensive years ago.

The article also says South Korea is full bore on h2, so this will have a market, and thrive there.

BEV doesn't have the capacity to do this. These units cannot be charged for 1hr 4 times a day. H2 is an instant recharge.
OpenSSL is not misuse resistant, nor is it opinionated.

Opinionated means the ciphers available are the best of the bunch.
Misuse resistance means the API validates parameters and reduces the footguns.

If you're doing a closed ecosystem, you'll want both. Use something like libsodium, or it's higher level wrappers. For this the team should have decent understanding of the primitives of that high level library to e.g. know that insecurely generated keys are still accepted so you'll have to use a CSPRNG.

If you're having to interact with other systems that only support e.g. TLS, you'll want to have the company hire a professional cryptographer with focus on applied cryptography to build the protocol from lower level primitives. Other programmers should refuse to do this work, like non-structural-engineers refuse to do structural engineering because they know they'll be held responsible for doing work they're not qualified.
I've been working with C# since 2001, which is when it came out of beta stage and into production-ready.

My last greenfield product I was able to choose the stack (except the database, which I was stuck with).

Front-end? Angular, mostly because I felt it fit best with experienced .Net developers.

Back-end API layer? C#, obviosly.

So I've been working with C# for 24 years. No regrets.
.NET is fully open source on GitHub under the MIT license.
> So they managed it even without the economics of scale.

You're also more likely to see extreme outcomes with small sample sizes. For example, if we were looking at a list of countries ordered by GDP per capital, statistically we should expect to see more smaller countries in the top and bottom of the list. It doesn't necessarily mean it's due to underlying causes like policy.
I'm reminded of my time in secondary school back in the late 90s.

I was trying to figure out how to make an FPS game of my own — from first principles given there was no internet for me to be advised by.

One of my peers suggested using flood fill as per photoshop, and I couldn't get him to understand that this didn't do perspective even with an example. (A real life "these cows are small, those cows are far away" moment).

Or that "Dulce et Decorum est" was required study material in the English Literature classes. Neither I nor anyone else in the school knew what it was really like to experience the horrors of war described in that poem, as the use of chlorine gas was banned before anyone under retirement age had been born.

Shakespeare is held in such high esteem, but how many of those who enjoy it today would have enjoyed an original performance of The Tempest in 1611 with actors who had little chance to memorise their lines, an audience who vocally participated, no light beyond what a fire could provide, no sound system beyond the cannon that accidentally burned The Globe theatre down? Can the works even be fully comprehended given that today the questions are "is Shylock an unfair and antisemetic stereotype?" and "why is The Taming of the Shrew even counted as a comedy rather than a tragedy?" and "why 'eye of newt'?"
What does deepseek have to do with a comparison between o1-mini and o3-mini?
Imho as a non expert, there is nothing having an internal monologue or thinking about anything.

These are prediction models that mimic patterns in data they have been taught and the behaviour they had reinforced.

One could argue encyclopedic knowledge and routine work is deprecated to a degree.

Taking into account that most human work is busy work and there are a lot of inefficiencies due to replicated efforts, in short term I'm starting to get worried about job security...

In medium term I expect there will be a development boom of essentially everyone creating everything imaginable, a lot of that will probably be useful...

In long term once embodiment is perfected and AI can effectively learn on the go in realtime, we will be truly screwed, but that has still too many challenges like energy source- batteries, computing power and algorithm efficiency.
This is moving very fast, and the sheer amount of chaos they're creating is successfully stymieing the potential responses. The important initial challenges here are the legal ones. And there are already some temporary decisions that should stop some of the blocks on funds.

Now comes the part where we see if the administration abides by those legal decisions or not, and how the final legal decisions here turn out once these cases inevitably land in front of the Supreme Court.

At the point where the administration ignores the courts and laws and continues on with their illegal impoundment, that's the point where you have to protest.
I assume that the parent just rounded 850W up to 1kW, no?
