Alternatively, I'm discussing a tech savvy teen creating something that takes maybe an hour to setup and it spreading via word of mouth, which seems pretty likely.

I agree it makes sense to monitor internet activity to an extent, I just don't know to what extent. being able to look up the stuff I was able to look up in the 90s was incredibly useful to my development, even if it would not have been allowed. I might monitor, reluctantly and mainly for certain keywords, but mostly I would want to foster trust and responsibility.

AngelList | Senior Software Engineers, Engineering Lead, Product Designer, Senior Data Engineer, etc | Full-time | Hybrid in San Francisco

AngelList's mission is to accelerate innovation by providing startups and investors with the tools they need to succeed. We have the world’s largest early-stage venture portfolio with $17B+ assets under management and $124B+ on our platform, delivering capital to over 12,000 startups. We work with some of the best emerging fund managers to ensure every deserving startup has access to capital.

I was hired into the role from one of these HN threads last summer. One of the things that attracted me most was the density of former founders and aspiring entrepreneurs on the team.

We're hiring full-stack engineers with experience building web applications at scale. Fintech knowledge is a plus, but not required.

I'm the hiring manager for two senior roles on our Funds Engineering team. We’re building the data layer that powers our general ledger. We work on some of the most interesting datasets out there: We model capital flows in the venture ecosystem to understand where value accrues and, ultimately, which investors and founders win or lose.

I'd be happy to talk about these roles, about any open role we have at AngelList (https://www.angellist.com/careers#open-positions), or any questions you might about working here.
> They may release something, but i doubt it will be more useful than what already exists.

I wouldn't put such prejudice in this thing. I'm not implying that you're wrong, but I'm highly skeptical that the model will be incompetent or inferior.

Also, don't forget. They'll open source it end to end. From data to training/testing code and everything in between.
Interesting points, thanks.

So IIUC, for you, evidence is weak and we don't actually know either way and we haven't explored alternatives to limiting light length enough that could help comprehension and speed. Fair enough.

> I also don't get why would you ever need to adjust window width per website?

Because websites define different margins, may have a side menu, or two... There might be stuff around the content that take width. And responsive designs may worsen the effect.

Exactly, too many people confuse investment (store of value) part of a currency with fungibility (medium of exchange) and debt (standard of deferred payment). Being good at one or even two of these things doesn't necessarily make it good at all three, good currencies balance all three to a greater or lesser degree.
Keeping the thinking interpretable makes it easier to impose conditions on it both at runtime and as part of reinforcement. It opens the doors to manually injecting relevant thoughts triggered by supervision ("I must remember to say nothing that could offend the party.", search results, or access to APIs like calculators).

Those advantages are easily worth some efficiency.

I'm skeptical of the safety/security arguments some have made. Models RL trained seeing their own COT may (and in fact almost certainly) will develop hidden context embedded into their word choices that carry through data that we're not aware of, the fact that the COT appears to be English (or some other human language) doesn't mean that we necessarily really understand it.

Consider how a game of Hanabi between long time partners might look to an outsider.
The air quality in the San Joaquin Valley has been horrible in recent months.

Many days 100-140, unhealthy for sensitive groups, in a band from Bakersfield to Sacramento.

Housing costs in the SJ valley are on average half the CA median, but I would not move there. Air just collects and sometimes there's an inversion layer (simplified)

More desirable locations are roughly twice the CA median or more.
They don't need to increase the supply of bitcoin, the nodes can simply be updated to recognize that a satoshi is also divisible by a billion.

I don't think there are all that many MRI machines that just sit there, unused, most of the day. There might be some hospitals that want to reserve their MRI machine for emergencies, so that it's less likely that you'll have to wait when you really need it.

I found this page here with some info about costs: https://info.atlantisworldwide.com/blog/the-cost-of-an-mri-w...

Even though they name cost of operation, energy use, cost of spare parts, maintenance and repair as expenses for running an MRI. It looks to me like the biggest cost by far is going to be the acquisition and installation. So if you've invested in an MRI machine you probably want it to be in use as much as possible in order to recoup the cost of the machine.

I can’t speak to the second half of your comment, but it’s worth pointing out that 31 corresponds with a software engineer who received a BA/BS in four years after high school, started working and hit senior at 3-5 years (a lot of us). That gives a couple years of wiggle room to lead projects after that too.
Use some LLM which is good at understanding code/coding, maybe supervised by one which is good at reasoning.

Bitcoin has lots of uses, you just haven't found one you need.
Exactly. An ideology of "the world is out to get me, I shall seek vengeance on them," which honestly, is maybe the farthest thing from what Christians should believe, if they read any of the New Testament. And I think maybe even has been taboo since Hammurabi.

It doesn't matter because you can't predict random data which is what the example is using. Branch predictors work on the premise that 95% of the time the branch resolves the same way which is damn common in most code. The closer your branches look to a normal distribution vs bimodal, the worse the branch predictor is going to perform.

The rejector is going to be faster because more iterations can be kept in the reorder buffer at once. The CPU is going to have to keep all the instructions post-branch in the reorder buffer until the branch is retired. If it's waiting on an instruction with an especially long latency like a square root it's probably speculatively already finished the work anyway, rejected or not.

If the branch rejects after the work is done the reorder buffer can retire each instruction of the random generation algorithm as it comes and then wait on however many branches at the end which can also be run in parallel because those branches aren't dependent on each other. All those branches which are doing a square root will also be pipelined properly instead of putting bubbles everywhere.
Hasn't the CCP already blocked Google search from use in the mainland? Are the major Chinese manufacturers of smartphones not already bundling their own forks of Android?

This seems like a symbolic, political move. I'm not sure what impact if any this will have on Google's bottom line.
So your claim is that US administration through the IMF is forcing El Salvador to drop Bitcoin as a national currency. The same US administration that proposed creating a "national digital asset stockpile"??!? (per https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/23/trump-signs-executive-order-... )
Even without the problem of insufficient financing, you probably need to bend some rules to be at the top of LLM game (not just how you collect the training data, we all sort of forgot that Altman was kicked out of OpenAI because the board thought he was prioritizing features over security).

Actually the interoperability is very good. C can directly call into Rust and Rust can directly call into C. Rust can construct any C type and can expose opaque pointers to C world.
Seems like rfl people should do the work downstream like the rt folks did for a while. Maybe be an upstream for Android and the various corporate kernels.

If uncertainty is an important signal then a model RL conditioned to perform good COT should be expected to learn how to encode an uncertainty sidechannel in its COT.

If we're fortunate it'll do so using language choice that would also convey uncertainty to humans. Before you complain that English uncertainty has poor precision, consider that nothing prevents the LLM from overloading it with a more precise meaning. Like how "MAY" in an RFC means something much more concrete than in general English. Though unless somehow conditioned for it the uncertainty signal could be something else entirely (including, perhaps, sounding more certain).

This also goes for pretty much any other side information you might hope could be conveyed.

If they have this as their top priority and allotted few billion dollars then sure. Not in the current form where the people involved are only involved for publication, not doing hard engineering things that takes months or years and they could do the same thing in OpenAI or Deepseek for like $1 million salary which both of them pay.

The problem with these JIT/kernel implementations is that there is an extra step of copying data over to the function. Some implementations like numba work around that by exposing raw pointers to python for numeric arrays, but I don't know of any framework which can do that with python objects.

What we need is a framework which can mirror python code in jit code without effort.

@jit.share
class ComplexClass:
def __init__(self, complex_parameters: SharedParameters):
self.complex_parameters = complex_parameters
self.x = 42
self.y = 42

def function_using_python_specific_libraries_and_stuff(self):
...

@jit
def make_it_go_fast(obj: ComplexClass):
...
# modify obj, it is mirrored in jit code,
# but shares its memory with the python object
# so any change also effects the passed python object
# initially, this can be done with observers,
# but then we will need some sort of memory aligned
# direct read/write regions for real speed

The complexity arises when function_using_python_specific_libraries_and_stuff uses exported libraries. The JIT code has to detect their calls as wrappers for shared objects and pass them through for seamless integration and only compile the python specific AST.
I would love to hear your thoughts as an insider.
> Even the most firebrand crypto bro is forced to acknowledge that crypto currencies like Bitcoin have a number of traits that renders them unusable as money, among which the most popular one is the core reason driving it's popularity: volatility.

This is essentially the other way around. It's volatile if it's predominantly used for speculation rather than as a currency, because "widespread use as a currency" is a big value sink that absorbs volatility. In other words, if more or larger countries used it as a currency it would be less volatile.
So, if one has a well thought-through idea, what is the process of getting the resources ($$$) from OpenEuroLLM and the compute from EuroHPC? How do I become a partner as a long-standing engineer with plenty of industry practice in research and development?

I am asking this because I never really understood how EU funds are working, they always seemed to me as there's a lot of gate keeping.
We'll delete it for you. Normally I'd move it to the other thread but it looks like you've posted there already!
The IMF agreement requiring them to do this was from December, i.e. the prior US administration.
Deflation is the natural state of the economy because progress makes everything cheaper. We only have an inflationary system because central banks print money. Putting a central bank into code and micro-managing the money supply was not possible, so bitcoin is more like a commodity, like gold for example. Gold has worked just fine as a money for thousands of years.

Every month at the Bar None Auction there are quite a few newer model cheap excavators that go for about $3k. Typically like a 9k excavator or something small, gas or diesel powered.

https://bid.barnoneauction.com/lot/230633363/2024-agt-mh12r-...

Given the usage pattern of an excavator, which is that typically its sitting around until you need to use it nonstop for several days, I like the option of just filling it up with gas.

Though he absolutely, literally is. The executive branch taking control over finances is unconstitutional, and there are likely a bevy of other things involving laws for conflicts of interest and laws for security clearances.

The only question is what'll happen in response when the criminals control so much of the infrastructure.

As a bonus, Musk is currently breaking the First Amendment as well, as he is both wearing a government hat and actively censoring people discussing what he's doing.

Lol, gold that can be teleported around the globe for fractions of a cent, yeah.. it sucks that bitcoin will never be more than that.

False. You can run kubernetes and/or some virtualisation engine as well and do the same on prem.

Well I hope in the (very near) future we decide we want the executive branch to have less power, so as to protect ourselves from a unitary executive who goes rogue. Yes it may be less efficient, but more resilient.

This drive for uber efficiency can 1) make government more fragile (see toilet paper supply issues during the pandemic) and 2) be a slippery slope to dehumanization (see paper clip maximizing problem).

El Salvador adopted Bitcoin as one of its national currencies.
Which ones?

Democrats received more money than Republicans from big tech and media for a very long time, including the most recent presidential election. Are big media stupid for donating more to their enemies than who they purportedly support?

Your other option is admitting that Democrats had previously owned the media and doing precisely the thing you're accusing Conservatives of doing. You definitely cannot claim they did not seeing the checks written out to DNC and other PACs alongside the board seats from previous administrations.
