There is plenty of in between on what to classify someone who doesn't produce either gamete. And the only answer you seem to have it's that it's obvious because 'should'. While also thinking it's acceptable to use the law to force this conclusion against scientific research. Much like a religious dogma...

Anyways I'm done with this conversation, the whole point was to tease out how absurd and non objective your argument was and I think I have achieved that well enough for others to read for themselves whether this circular logic makes sense or is just to rationalize bigotry.

„Brain drain the world.“

Why? You could also invest in better schools and education in the US. A smarter population would also be good for democracy, because they would vote smarter. But I guess it is too late now. Dictators don‘t need a smart population, they need a dump one, so they can do whatever they want.
The web is the best application distribution mechanism the world has ever seen. Even though things have improved enormously in the last decade and a half, the ceiling is still miles below native (though the floor is far more accessible). None of that matters though, because all someone needs to do to get your app in front of their eyeballs is type a URL.
Who could have predicted this, though? If only there were some, no, any benevolent corporate deity poised to provide trusted global identity services for an event exactly like this.

If only this hadn't come out of the blue, maybe there'd be someone out there, right now, who could make it so that your identity traveled with you everywhere across the internet, an authentic digital fingerprint and passport so invisible that you can't even see or access it to keep people from having to prove themselves over and over and over again.

What a solution in search of a problem that would have been!
Yes sorry, if you install the latest oils-for-unix binary - https://oils.pub/release/latest/ - Then you will get a symlink called "ysh".

It's also available in a few distros, HomeBrew, etc.

As mentioned, the demo depends on a bug fix that hasn't been released yet. Right now there are a bunch of people on Zulip giving feedback, so you are welcome to join and ask questions / give feedback, or wait until it's more fully baked

YSH itself is pretty "baked", but the Hay part is in flux

> Assuming I'm right, I'm not really looking forward to a point in 5 years when shareholders all suddenly decide they agree.

Assuming everyone agrees Anthropic is worth very little, they still get to keep the 3.5 Billion investment.

I imagine the consequence would be:

1) Anthropic investors lose a lot of money.

2) Anthropic probably struggles to raise more money

3) Anthropic raises their prices to become profitable.

The RDA is 0.37 g/pound. For a 180 pound guy, that means 67g of protein. That might sound low, but wait... At least according to this one page I found, 25% of American adults eat below RDA. It's not hard to imagine then that there are many people for whom 22g extra could make a decent difference.

Okay so I don't know where I picked this up - it was a decade or more ago - but I always thought the problem was losing weight too fast is what causes bad muscle loss such as from the heart, or from leg/other muscles beyond what's no longer needed from the weight loss. Something like, you're starving yourself so your body starts drawing energy not just from your fat but from anywhere it can.

I feel like these sorts of turns-of-phrase, like "_blank_ was the original _blank_", are increasingly used like memes without any real thought of whether they are make sense or are correct. People are afraid to write without ornamentation, regardless of whether it adds anything meaningful. It's added to meet some sort of perceived standard of "good writing", in an effort to stand out from the crowd.

Sounds like you just want scientists and researchers to share your ideological biases. Who would be the arbiter of neutrality?

"Wipe out"? Absolutely abhorrent and authoritarian take. I'll note the common thread of brutal authoritarian regimes who executed purges of scientists and professionals convicted of wrongthink.

You want to destroy the future of science in this country because of some manufactured culture war. So much for free speech.
Yes they did. They would deforest the banks, fence it off and clear the stream. Then they tried to convince other trusts to do the same. Now they are planting trees etc.
I had many meetings with our Indian counterparts at a previous company, where honestly I don't think anyone on either side really understood what the others had been saying. Our European accent was probably as hard to decipher for them as their Indian accent was for us. Some AI improvement would probably have been better for everyone.
> No one works for any BigTech company because they think they are making the world a better place.

I'm sure there are plenty of people who work at big companies for precisely this reason (or at least, with that as _a_ reason among many).

Yes, much of the prestige has worn off as the old guard retired and current leadership emphasizes chasing AI buzzwords and cutting costs. But still, big companies are one of the few places where an individual really can point out something they worked on in day-to-day life.

Something I always wonder about is figuring out the optimal page size. The author seems to use 64KB. This is neither the size of a CPU cache line (often 64 bytes) nor the size of a block on an SSD (often 512KB). So why 64KB?

I did my part and voted for Harris, I thought maybe she had a chance. I knew it was very likely that Trump would win. That said, couldn't we all have done more?

For example, Trump and Obama have a few interesting things in common. They both became President. And they both defeated Hillary Clinton in order to get there. In 2008, the real race was between the Democrats - Bush was so unpopular it didn't matter who the GOP ran, the Dems were going to take it (in my opinion that's why McCain was allowed to get the nomination). America had the chance to do something really different multiple times and put a woman in charge but it never happened. Now it will almost certainly never happen.

In terms of voting to burn the place down, I think that's really the point a lot of folks have missed. When the existing system doesn't serve you at all, why vote to preserve it? Governments have failed us, totally. Both parties have kowtowed to corporate interests for years and things like NAFTA have had the effects that were warned about in the 90s. Now we are reaping the results.

Very sad state of affairs.
I was actually wondering whether this was going to be possible. I don't know enough about training AI's but surely if enough content like this is read into the system this will lead to biases in an AI's response?
I've seen the exact same pattern play out with different tools. The team used a shiny new immature platform for nice sounding reasons and then spent 80% of their time reinventing wheels that have already been solved in any number of places.
That this works at all is pretty interesting. That it seems to work very well with math is quite interesting.

That said, this paper is part of the move we have right now blurring the lines of training and inference -- part of their method involves doing some reinforcement learning on questions they don't know the answer to, but can decompose into simpler questions, and using GRPO on those with a numerical 'checker'. This reinforced model then can answer more questions.

I like this. I think humans do this a lot; mulling on something, turning it over in their heads, analogizing, etc. Adding test time training is a way to do a lot more thinking than adding tokens to the context for fixed inference.

Just as DeepSeek and o1/o3 show that we can increase capacity with inference-time-token generation and assessment, it looks like we can increase capacity with inference-time automated fine tuning as well.

I'd hope that as these techniques solidify we'll have a new way to talk and think about this -- they are all part of the same fundamental process at some level.

Either way, super cool.
If you don’t want it to be such a tribal issue, maybe stop with the “you guys (who, exactly?) don’t know anything” routine?

Yep. All of the main 5 operating systems for consumers are from the late 80s and early 90s.

- Windows 11 is Windows NT

- macOS is NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP

- Linux is a free Unix like from the era where that was a new thing with both BSD and GNU working on it

- Android is Linux + Java (inspired by OpenStep)

- iOS/iPadOS is NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP for phones.

(OPENSTEP is an OS. OpenStep is a framework)
I find it remarkable that despite the massive improvements to CSS and JS in the last 15-ish years, additions to HTML are glacial. I mean we only just got popovers for christ's sake.

It's like JS and CSS are fully on board with being an app platform and HTML is digging its heels in insisting that everything be a document. There is maybe something to be said for that argument, but if I'm gonna have to interact with web apps I'd rather the list of stuff every developer needs to hand-roll in varying-quality JS be a lot smaller than it currently is.

If truly equivalent (which LLMs aren't, but I'll entertain it), that doesn't seem mathematically out of line.

The fact that it's been reasonably (if imperfectly) effective for a very long time and statistically speaking, nobody is really looking forward to a universe in which, say, border or trade disputes turn into nuclear brinkmanship and the risk of proliferation to non-state actors is greatly increased. These agreements exist and continue to exist because the parties find them beneficial. I don't think a bit of ill-conceived smack talk from a Polish PM changes that.
Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas) is both significantly cheaper, and less risky than epidurals for reducing pain during childbirth. Yet, in the US, most hospitals don't even offer it as an option, and I think a major part of that is that patented epidurals have much higher margins, so that is what the medical suppliers push.

I recently made an optometrist appointment, and was surprised to discover that I could do virtual appointments. And they were a lot easier to get.

I'm skeptical that that can work. I suppose you can administer a basic eye test and get a close-enough prescription, but this is really important and I want to get it exactly right.

I kinda wish I could give it a try, just to see what they can manage to do without all of the tools that an optometrist would apply. But I've got some concerns (which is why I made the appointment) and I'd rather have somebody look closely.

> this one is so well fitted with the rise of metabolic disease

Is it though? The problem is that metabolic disease also increases with life expectancy. People are living longer and not dying at child birth - that inherently means we collect diseases with more frequency.

And the idea that there were no metabolic diseases at the turn of the century is laughable. Part of the reason sanatoriums were so prevalent and and diet foods were invented were because of the extreme amount of ailments people suffered from their food.

Author here. Thank you! You're seeing that correctly. The directional bias is the result of some initial symmetry breaking and likely random-seed dependent.

Show HN: WoolyAI-CUDA Abstraction Layer to Decouple Kernel Shader Exec on GPU
Hi HN, We’re a small team of OS, virtualization, and ML engineers, and after three years of development, we’re thrilled to launch the beta of our CUDA abstraction layer! We decouple the Kernel Shader execution from applications that use CUDA into a Wooly Abstraction layer. In this abstraction layer, we compile these to a new binary, and Shaders are compiled into a Wooly Instruction Set. At runtime, Kernel Shader launch events initiate a transfer of Shader over the network from a CPU host to a GPU host, where they are recompiled. Their execution is managed by Wooly Server software to achieve maximum GPU resource utilization, isolation between workloads, and cross-compatibility with hardware vendors before being converted to be passed on to the respective GPU hardware runtime and drivers. In principle, the wooly abstraction layer is similar to an Operating System, which sits on top of the hardware and enables the most efficient and reliable execution of multiple workloads.

We built a GPU Cloud service(WoolyAi Acceleration Service) using this abstraction layer with "Actual GPU Resources Used" billing, NOT "GPU Time Used" billing.

Looking forward to getting your feedback and comments.

I don't believe Pollan actually mentioned "seed oil" as a concept though. He criticized factory farming and also corn, but I don't think he went beyond specific ingredients or the macro level of industrial vegetable oils.

And if anything, he helped solidify the desire for vegan-friendly oils in cooking.

No, of course military aid to Ukraine is only the barest pre-requisite to negotiations that might possibly lead to lasting peace. This can only be achieved if future Russian aggression is strongly deterred.

Do you really think Ukraine is going to attack Russia? They have no motive, they (along with the rest of Europe) were happy to do business with Russia until Russia's various aggressions (starting in 2014, mind you) soured them. No matter what happens they're not going to be in a state for aggression after this war, even if they have the appetite. Most of the arms we send them are being consumed. Even Russia will take a while to rebuild.
