Very well put, indeed.

I would only add that very few people ever admit -- even to themselves -- that they are unethical or even downright evil. Part of the delusion that convinces people to be amoral includes distancing themselves from the reality that we all have a moral compunction to be compassionate, even if most people fail to choose those paths for others outside their in-group.

And then, once money is involved, those knobs are turned up to 11. And look who runs most of the world now. Hell, even the poors are deluded into supporting them, which is a Goddamned shame, but expected once you really understand human nature and the nature of the universe we inhabit. We are fully free to choose callous idiocy over compassionate wisdom, even to our own detriment.
Generalization over the alignment problem is actually the opposite of disturbing, this is pretty big and good/encouraging news for us solving the alignment problem.
> so neither shows up on steam survey as anything other than 1080p

The hardware survey doesn't occur while games are running. It's recording the display setting of your desktop, which would put you and everyone like you in the 4K bucket.

> If you want to play the useless popularity game, go and check what are the resolutions on the phones and tablets with even smaller screens sold in the last 10 years

I have a rather new high-end phone. Its native resolution is 2400x1080, and that 2400 is only there because phones have a particularly long aspect ratio compared to other devices.

> "The fact" is people today would never accept sub-retina dpis even for cheap phones, and the market has clearly spoken.

1920x1080 is a wildly popular resolution. You appear to be frustrated that the market hasn't spoken in your favor.

You appear to be hallucinating arguments that I haven't made.

I am in my mid-70s now and for the first time in my life I can’t find part time work. I have had three really good leads in the last four or five months but in each case there was no job unless I accepted a full time position. Sadly at my age, I don’t have the energy for full time work, so it is what it is. My wife is happy I am not working, and she literally would not accept it if I tried a full time gig, even just for a year or so.

One thing that I do is that I keep writing code in my favorite languages Common Lisp, Haskell, Racket, and Python (Python only for deep learning). I also still write.
+1 to this! If it doesn't exist already, what would it look like?

The simple solution could be another search index that hasn't been commoditized like Google has, but I wonder if a manual curation approach might lead to higher quality? Something along the lines of a weekly digest of personal sites that are interesting/unique/fun. Process could look like:

1. Users submit their personal sites for review, accompanied by some blurb/tags. Essentially something to make the cost of submission > 0.

2. Site admin reviews submissions once a week and either select their top X favorite, or just remove any low quality/slop submissions and shares the rest.

I suppose this approach depends on the judgement of whoever does the curating, but I feel like that's not necessarily a worse alternative to the opaque algorithms we deal with today.

What I don't get about attention is why it would be necessary when a fully connected layer can also "attend" to all of the input. With very small datasets (think 0 - 500 tokens), I found that attention makes training longer and results worse. I guess the benefits show up with much larger datasets. Note that I'm an AI noob just doing some personal AI projects, so I'm not exactly a reference.

Open-Source Distraction Killer for Chrome
Hey

Struggling to focus? We built Ashdeck, an open-source Chrome extension to block distractions, run a Pomodoro timer, and manage tasks—without bloated software or spyware.

Why care?

Website blocker – Stop doomscrolling.

Pomodoro timer – Work smarter, not longer.

Task manager – Actually track what matters.

100% open-source – No paywalls, no BS.

We built this for ourselves, but now we need your feedback—test it, break it, improve it.

Try it: ashdeck.com

If you ignore the narrative and only look at the links then you're just describing a search engine with an AI summarization feature. You could just use Kagi and click "summarize" on the interesting results and then you don't have to worry that the sources themselves are hallucinations.

I'm not defending anything that has been done in the name of atheism, simply pointing out that at no time in history has their been total cultural hegemony to the extent that the behavior of people could be entirely excused by their cultural position.

Like I said, I genuinely believe its pointless to assign blame to the dead for things in the past. But if we are speaking of moral judgements in the abstract one's cultural context is only mitigating. It isn't a get out of jail free card.
The Night of Terror during the 1977 blackout in NYC led to 1000 fires, 4000 arrests, and 550 injured police.

The blackout in 2003 in NYC had no looting or violence.

The blackout in Maracaibo Venezuela in 2019 had 350 stores looted and 550+ people arrested.

The difference was the economic and social challenges in 1977 in NYC and 2019 in Venezuela. A recession and high unemployment.

If it stays written in C#, I'd imagine it will be NativeAOT-based with C exports on top of which the bindings are based for other languages. Or not, I'm watching PanGui for some time and hope it releases but no news so far.
Hellwig controls the DMA code. The Rust bindings use the DMA code. Hellwig is free to change the DMA code without considering whether or not it breaks the rust bindings. the rust bindings are not his problem, nor does he need to start maintaining any rust code.

from Linus:

> You are not forced to take any Rust code, or care about any Rust code in the DMA code. You can ignore it. [...] So when you change the C interfaces, the Rust people will have to deal with the fallout, and will have to fix the Rust bindings.

Someone else described him as a lunatic. But, this is a security issue, and you shouldn't assume that someone who is successfully putting malicious code into developers' IDEs around the world is unhinged or a lunatic, but rather cunning and deceptive (or a front for an intelligence agency). It's not paranoid to have such suspicions about someone who is getting malicious code into developers' tools.

You're right, I intended to reply to the comment saying "In war, only capability matters. Nothing else". I don't think the engine replacements would/will meaningfully sway the balance of capabilities.
I empathise. It's important in any large software project try to converge on one right way to do something, because inconsistency is bad for maintainability.

That being said, change is inevitable, so this desire for maintainability can't prevent all change.

It's a shame they couldn't find a way to balance these things.

Show HN: I built a tool to check if your computer can run LLMs locally
Built a simple web app that tells you which open-source LLMs will work on your hardware.
It auto-detects your specs, shows compatible models from Hugging Face, gives realistic performance estimates (tokens/sec), and recommends quantization settings. You can also manually input specs to see "what if I upgraded my RAM?"
Made this after wasting time downloading giant models only to find they crawled on my hardware. Hope it saves you some frustration!
Amazing. I had a similar insight and did exactly this some time ago, transforming the input into the frequency domain in order to preserve input energy and encode information in the complex space, plus filtering based on global context (different filter implementation than discussed in this paper) but only trained the model locally and didn't bother seeing how it scaled. Congrats on the hard work!
A fully connected layer has different weights for each feature (or position in input in your formulation). So the word "hello" would be treated completely differently if it were to appear in position 15 vs. 16, for example.

Attention, by contrast, would treat those two occurrences similarly, with the only difference depending on positional encoding - so you can learn generalized patterns more easily.

That is true but it seems like most authoritarians invent a vague emergency to justify grabbing specific powers (e.g. Trump declaring a "border emergency"), whereas a specific emergency for a specific event has a time limit.

In particular: getting Trump to rescind his border "emergency" will be a long slow process of organizing and accumulating public pressure, whereas there will be an overwhelming amount of public pressure to end the curfew as soon as the power is restored.

Make your money and put it to use. I’m sceptical of dual-mission VCs as change agents for society. They do good work. But not as good as the most militant non-profits or political entrepreneurs. At the same time, they fail to generate the returns that might empower you to become that change agent through wealth.

These are fun to be in but a social club by another name. You’ll have some wins, hopefully, but if you calculate an IRR it should wind up around the S&P 500 minus a country-club fee.
This is the case with most clever neural architectures: in theory, you could always replace them with dense layers that would perform better with enough resources/training, but that's just it, efficiency matters (number of parameters, training data, training time, FLOPS) and dense layers aren't as efficient (to put it mildly).

You have seen this play out on a small scale, but if you calculate the size of the dense layers necessary to even theoretically replicate a big attention layer or even convolution, to say nothing of the data needed to train them without the help of the architecture's inductive bias, you will see that the clever architectures are quite necessary at scale.

I think it overstates things a bit to say we have no idea. We have good reason to believe in the theory of general relativity over a broad range of scales and that theory provides reasonable predictions beyond the event horizon. While its certainly unclear how quantization modifies that picture, the possibilities are not infinite and we can speculate about them to some degree.
I think that this is the explanation I needed, thanks!
I knew a veteran who would feel extreme shame when going to the movie theater a few minutes late. He never attributed it to his upbringing, but more to his discipline in the military. This is not a comfortable way to live. This is off topic, but your shame came from external factors that need to be pieced together if you care about the insight. While you are out of it, others are actually just entering it :(
If A reduces to B, it means that an algorithm implementing B can be used (with some pre- and post-processing) to solve A.

If A reduces to B, it means that B is at least as hard as A.

When my brother was getting married, the priest looked over the audience and singled me out, asking, "Do you love your watch?" I said no—it's a good watch but I don't _love_ it. He moved on to ask others about some objects in their possession and asked if they loved them. Each answered yes. He told the group that love should be reserved for people and living things, and that we do love a disservice when we profess our love for inanimate things.

I was thinking it would be better to have solar in the city and wind around it, as turbines make some noise and as the roofs are gonna go unused otherwise. But I can see how putting solar on the roof can make it harder to maintain than having a solar park on the ground.

I was also thinking having solar panels above tram lines, but that may not be worth the cost.
As far as I know the limits on physical collapse theories are extremely strong and there are some reasonably good philosophical reasons to doubt them as well. I don't have the text in front of me at the moment but Aaronson's Quantum Computing Since Democritus has a section on this, I think. If physical collapse were true then the implications for quantum computing would beggar belief. P=NP stuff.

So I've read that inside a black hole spacetime becomes so distorted that space and time eventually swap places.

I can't wrap my head around what it means for your future to become a destination that you can't escape in the same way you can't escape tomorrow.

How would an imaginary indestructible being that fell into a black hole make sense of this. Does intuition just flip to accomodate this?

That's not quite my argument. A little more formally:

There's a base rate of human malevolence running in each society. We do not know this base rate, and we can only sample malevolence via mass media (, police reports, etc.). If the mass media (including internet) were a neutral measurement device then we could say for sure that what we're seeing is just the background conditions of society leading to eg., riots, etc.

Because our measuring device isnt neutral we have a problem: are the things we see caused by our measuring? Do we cause more malevolence by participating in social media, which also makes us aware of it?

My argument is that we are presently significantly over-estimating the effect of our participation in the internet as a cause. My view is that its effects at reducing bad-stuff are likely more potent than its effects at causing it, and the vast majority of what we see isn't caused by the internet at all.

One argument for this is that it seems baseline malevolence (violence, etc.) is significantly decreasing, is historically very high, and that nothing we see via the internet is suprisingly above this historical case.
The most important word: "WAS".

And even with that, the valuation of TSLA assumes geometric growth in sales to subsume legacy ICE consumer transportation with EVs.

2024 was flat at best, where the market DID expand geometrically for EVs. Those numbers also represented a "segment monopoly" by Tesla. If you wanted an EV in those years, you bought a Tesla.

That is OVER. EVs and charging infrastructure, particularly in Europe are now fully competitive with Tesla. With "European" brands, and generally speaking full access to the superior Chinese models.

What Tesla needed to do in 2022, 2023, and 2024 wasn't the techboy Cybertruck, it should have been Minivans, Delivery vans, a real pickup, compact car, euro compact car, large / medium / small SUVs (Model Y is a medium/small crossover), station wagons.

They should have had cabin options, launched additional brands for ultraluxury and for more consumer price points.

Can't do all that inhouse? They should have acquired a struggling ICE company for stock swaps and gained access to more production and platforms and parts suppliers, and could have released long range PHEVs using their battery packaging for additional scale/demand.

Because Tesla no longer has any drivetrain or battery packaging advantages. Whatever profit margin they've enjoyed will be destroyed in competition. Arguably they have too much cylindrical NMC investment that they are behind the curve in battery supply and packaging with high density LFP and Sodium Ion being superior paths to a cheaper EV battery pack (greater cell to pack density, no wasted weight/space on cooling since LFP/Sodium Ion are much more stable than NMC).

Tesla needed a huge amount of product diversification about five years ago when the Model Y was launched.

It's hard to believe the B-21 would ever be stored at a forward missile base.

Similarly it's unlikely a drone strike is an issue due to distance.
