I would love to see a deeper financial analysis of your scenario that consider the other variables mentioned like ops team, bandwidth, power, and cabinet rental. Also it's important to be honest about the initial investment needed, there's a component of upfront capital cost that could be invested elsewhere in the business that a simple price per day cannot account for. If you can't support that upfront investment, my assumption is that it may be better to remain with cloud services just because the cost structure is more predictable.
Microsoft Copilot says: "Interesting puzzle! Let's work through it step-by-step:"

then works through it with the kind of faulty thought process that I'd expect from a student who squeaks through an intro physics class and gets a D grade.

It give me 2.7, 1.1, and 0.22 which don't multiply or add to 5.88.

I told it was wrong, it gave me some numbers that summed right but multiplied wrong, pointed that out and it gave

1.20, 1.50, 3.18 which sums right and multiples to 5.724 which is a little low.

> The thing that paints a clear picture to me is, the Republican party are always on the assault. They have endless bad things to say, blame to cast. They are out for destruction.

Are you suggesting this effect is somehow not applicable to other political movements?
Sure it wasn't exactly foul play, but it was a major legal exploit that has since been patched. If the exploit didn't exist in the first place, then Amazon probably wouldn't either.
> My own opinion is that educational curricula are generally not very important at all

We spend an incredible amount of time and effort on educational curricula, so it's worth thinking about.

My opinion is everything you learn before you start actually using knowledge is "just" familiarization. In my opinion, pedagogical instruction should do a much better job of explaining this and incorporating this realization. I do think individual teachers understand this.
> the typical Taxi experience is nearly as awful as it's always been at least in the US

It seems impossible/problematic to generalize the taxi experience to “The US”.

If you’re in a city center, cabs can be far easier. The number of times I’ve ordered an Uber or Lyft and regretted it while watching taxi after taxi drive by has been increasing. But I expect the Chicago loop experience to be quite different from say, the suburbs.
Ugh. No. This ain't it.

One thing I always loved at YC was that it always felt like the aspirational version of what the tech industry could be. As big tech became the "bad guys", YC has continued to forge the inspirational path... quietly helping the builders and the makers.

If the gym is sufficiently simple and well-coded, achieving a simulation speed of 367,920x real-time (simulating 42 years in one hour) is plausible. The question is whether these simulated scenarios genuinely reflect 42 years of real-world driving experience and truly represent the information that a single agent has at its disposal when making driving decisions.

How about instead of questioning me personally we focus on the discussion at hand? My personal politics don't matter, but since you're making it about that, I'm a leftist so I don't see how it's hard to believe I don't agree with Biden on most things.

Like most people on HN, I don't comment about politics here often, but I made my displeasure known at the time in other social circle. I'm here now, as I think most people are, because this is some next-level shit. Comparisons to anything Biden did are strained.

I generally don't find it hard to maintain a consistent view of executive power no matter who is wielding it, because it always comes back to: what if it was wielded against you? This is the question everyone who is in support of this right now needs to be asking themselves.
> borrow is never tasked with cleaning up data

And the reason for this is that there is no branch needed at the end of the borrow, to check for refCount=0? (Or, is this at least one of the reasons?) I'm wondering about the performance impact for this... There's also the code size impact.
If I poured out a beer for every "compelling" chipset depreciated by the mainline Linux kernel, I'd be going out to buy 6-packs on a weekly basis.

It's a neat initiative, but you should have been preparing for this result since the beginning. No official support means no official support.
Yes, this is why I added the "essentially". HTML does it after tokenization, but before whitespace processing (which implies before a lot of other things that by necessity happen between tokenization and whitespace processing, these steps are nowhere close to each other). But the author seems to vaguely believe/suggest to either process entities at a much later stage, or carry down some "shadow effect" in addition to expanding the entity to its text content. Both of these are complete non-starters IMHO.

(btw, you/anyone have other examples for that Java-style ordering of escapes vs. tokenization? I can think of C preprocessor trigraphs [which are deprecated since C23] but nothing else…)
Double standards is how the law is practiced since time immemorial. Copyright is Disney-Sony law made up few decades ago for no reason other than money. Pick your battles.
The solution to that would not have been rabid capitalism just bulldozing over laws because the laws suck and further entrenching that "laws only matter for the poor".

The solution to the pre-Uber state of the taxi industry would be to actually have the regulations authorities enforce the regulation. But it seems across the Western world that having regulations authorities do their job and regulate is like the devil and holy water.

Additionally, in some cases the regulations themselves were crap.
It's been slowly phased out for some time, so to see it appear in a net-new project is highly unusual.

> non-determinism in rand() if srand isn't ever called

This is the path Go took for its math/rand library eventually: if you don't seed the RNG, it's a CSPRNG, but if you do seed it, it's deterministic.

However, there is lots of "advice" out there to seed your RNG with "random" values like the current time to make it "more secure" (and to be fair, in some cases, you may get sufficient entropy for the purpose at hand by doing this, but in most cases, you won't get enough and you'll spend it very fast). So a call to srand may indicate that you know what you're doing and want determinism and understand the consequences, but it doesn't necessarily mean that.
If you do something wrong then you, as a person, are held responsible and accountable.

If you do something wrong as "part of your job" then you're typically not held responsible and accountable but the company is (the exceptions being spectacular fraud: Enron, VW diesel).

It's not hard to see how this can go off the rails.
Not OP but many many reasons. If you have the money and you prefer comfort (and/or have kids along) taking a taxi/uber/etc. is much more preferable than dragging several (probably heavy) luggages up and down platforms (elevators may or may not work), walking long paths, etc. especially when you consider the alternative is simply putting luggages in a trunk, sit down and relax, and most likely get there faster. And all of this is before we even talk about any safety issues with BART.

IME companies take copyright way more seriously than individuals. e.g. my last 2 jobs have had scanners to ensure we're not accidentally pulling in GPL code to our products, and one of those was a startup. I'd be surprised if corporate security software weren't looking for torrent clients and if you wouldn't get fired for torrenting on corporate machines or networks at most companies. Meanwhile the same people setting those security policies have a 100TB array at home with fully automated pirating setups. They very much don't care personally, but it's a huge business risk.

In high school/university in the 00s, everyone casually pirated things. In college people passed around a USB drive with all of the books needed for our degree program. People in the dorms traded music collections with 10s of thousands of songs. Tellingly, Apple advertised that iPods could store 10,000 songs, which approximately zero people could afford to buy legitimately. If anything, the consequences for piracy have gone down since then, but streaming is convenient enough and phone storage/UX is hobbled enough that people pay.

In any case, I think the other poster is right that companies flouting copyright law is a good thing. It stops us from pretending that it's helpful for the little guy, making it easier to argue for abolition or vastly reducing the length. That they did it to build an open model is even better: it shows directly the kinds of benefits copyright is taking from us. We should be looking to scan every book out there to build better training sets (and better indexed search into scholastic datasets; at this point all of Anna's Archive only costs a little over $11k in raw storage, which puts it into "affordable as an upper middle class home library" territory. In another few years, it may be affordable to nearly everyone. Better ML models could help here with better compression as well), but copyright law restricts use of works dating back to a time before electrification was widespread. Obviously they're an evil company in general, but llama was an actual good deed from them.
I would probably use this in a text editor if it was available. I don't struggle with group logic, but I often forget which tools use \ to reference capture groups, and which use $. (If it's Microsoft or Microsoft-adjacent, it's probably $.)
This is what government-funded universities should be doing, unprofitable research that automatically becomes public domain.
But the license restriction would have to apply both to the publisher and the customer.

If I go to the bookstore, buy the book, make a scan, and train an LLM with it, how would you enforce your license as an author? The customer never knew that he shouldn’t have been allowed to train LLMs.

Edit: I think I misunderstood the original comment, I thought the idea was to sell books and restrict use for LLM training. If we’re only talking about stuff that’s publicly released, the restriction should be possible.
Hard to say how to define relevance - but I think an economy based on manufacturing is more solid (relevant?) than one based on tourism

What gets me about android is the "have your cake and eat it" way it approaches whether or not it's locked down/secure.

Over time the usage of android has changed as more users and more services adopted mobile, for a lot of people it is an appliance, and I can appreciate that payments and linking to bank accounts is a convincing argument for something like play integrity/safetynet. Where I think there's conflict is that android hasn't entirely moved away from the early days where it was something a bit closer to a personal computer with a high amount of freedom, or at least they haven't been clear or drawn a line in the sand (this is while the issue around third party app stores and if they must be somewhat open is still being resolved).

If you do some unlocking/rooting and what it enables, it either gets the bare minimum CYA notification or doesn't get flagged in the UI at all as presumably the users is meant to know what they're doing at that point, even if cases where apps refuse to run or just crash with no feedback to inform. I'd appreciate it more if they did put up a big red warning "this is happening because your phone is in insecure mode because you did X", but on the surface level it appears as the phone is fully operational but acting weird.
The traditional method is fairly ugly but if someones actions kill enough people at some point it is reasonable to kill them too.

The kernel is extremely complex. He very likely still needs to work with other maintainers if his code breaks their code. In this case he has LESS work to do, because the R4L developers own all fixes to Rust code, and he is free to break them, and they have to clean it up themselves.
Apple is famous for keeping projects secret from its own employees. To be clear, I think it's unlikely that this has already been set up for the US, but it would be easiest to do at Apple.
I think the emphasis on coding/math is just because those are the low hanging fruit - they are relatively easy to provide reasoning verification for, both for training purposes and for benchmark scoring. The fact that you can then brag about how good your model is at math, which seems like a high intelligence activity (at least when done by a human) doesn't hurt either!

Reasoning verification in the general case is harder - it seems "LLM as judge" (ask an LLM if it sounds right!) seems to be the general solution.
How is it not reasonable? Commenting here is clearly a total waste of life compared to curing cancer, one of the most noblest pursuits, and we've taken it upon ourselves to judge how other people spend their time. And of course once we've decided that I am the arbiter of what other people get to spend their time on, and I've decided
that curing cancer is the most important thing to be working on, anyone not working on that gets sent right to waste of time jail.

Watching TV and playing sports or having a drink with friends, all banned under this regime because that's all unnecessary. I might also be possible that everyone's concept of what's valuable and productive is entirely subjective. Demonstrating that PDFs have JavaScript interpreters these days and are not a static content rendering system, and are not to be trusted, in a way that goes viral for maximum exposure, in the off chance someone learns something about how insecure they are, and they avoid getting hacked seems quite valuable to me, given how much money gets lost to hackers.

No one spends all their time only doing productive things, and some choose to spend it making things that other people find neat enough to share, like this PDF. Other people choose to spend their time commenting here. What else do you do for fun (when you're not off curing cancer)? Why is that any more worthy?

Why does it bother you how others spend their free time?
Devil's advocate was a way for the Catholic Church to argue against the canonization of a saint by providing a contrarian point of view about his life (everybody possibly loved the guy who was about to be canonized, after all he was a saint-to-be, but it was the Church's responsibility to provide an objective judgement on him).

Today it's synonym with providing an explanation of the facts which goes against public sentiment, for sake of completeness.

In this case, it means "I don't know what is the truth, but Google's angle, which wasn't reported before, is this: ...", which seems a perfectly reasonable and informative comment to me.

Why Tech Went MAGA
Same on macOS Safari (Sequoia, Safari 18.3, M3 Pro, 18gb RAM)
As someone who worked in several Eurescom research projects back in the early 90s and watched it all get steamrolled by actual pragmatic work done in telcos and US manufacturers, I have zero faith in this even as a political/independence gesture.

There are loads of people who think "there is no moat and Europe can do this" (including the Portuguese government, which announced a Portuguese LLM at WebSummit--which, hilariously, is being trained on a research "supercomputer" in Spain), and they have no idea how far (politically, economically and pragmatically) Europe's tech scene is from the US. Other than Mistral, of course.

Their intra-function behaviour seems difficult to define for non trivial cases. For instance a &tmp would need to be write only until it’s written to, then it can be read from as well, but it needs to be consumed before its scope ends, transitioning back to a write only reference. So you’d need a type system which can transition parameters through typestates (is that a subset of effects systems or unrelated?).
Blocking based on ASN has never and should never be the frontline. It's the illusion of increased security with little actual impact.

Well that implies that you are more or less economically illiterate. I’m not talking about property and even renting residential/commercial property (as relatively safe as it is) does provide an actual service.

Anyway.. a very basic example, imagine you have $1000000, you can:

- keep it under your bed and lose 2% every year

- invest it into real estate etc. and make e.g. 4% every year.

- invest into the stock market and make 6%.

Now with a deflationary currency like bitcoin (or gold back in the mid to late 1800s) you can just hoard it and conservatively make 2-3% every year* invest into safe bonds and gain another 3-4%. Business would need to grow at an extremely fast pace to be able to attract much capital in such an environment.

* of course it’s only hypothetical. You’d need the economy to grow and productivity to increase YoY for this. That would be unlikely in any economy that used Bitcoin as its primary currency.
Whether you make a scan of it or not, the license applies to the IP, I guess (IANAL).

Whether the shop makes a scan should not affect you as the buyer of the actual book. What does the scan have to do with you?

Whether the author learns about that scan and perhaps training of some LLM using the scan or not, does not change the legality of it.
