When you open up a Lightning channel with another node, that node becomes your gateway to the world wide web of Lightning nodes. Just like your internet provider becomes your gateway to the web when you buy their service.

Do it with a reputable node, and they will not maliciously close it just to steal a few dollars from you by closing the channel with an outdated state. They will want to keep their reputation. Just like your internet provider does not deny you service after a day when you paid for a month.
Yes, but for the price of that single M3 ultra I could have 4 of those GB10's running in a 2x2 cluster with the full NVIDIA stack supported (which is still a big thing)

So M3 preference will depend on whether a niche can significantly benefit from a monolitic lower compute high memory vs higher compute but distributed setup.

I also learned Swedish, which I think is very interesting, because Sweden has 1/4 the population of California, but has a relatively large influence on Western culture. At least in my mind.

Regarding learning a language, I recommend looking into Dr Krashen's theory of language acquisition, specifically comprehensible input. His favorite resource is comic books. For Swedish, I really like SVT with a VPN.
We had this article the other day[1] about how multiple LLMs can hallucinate about the same thing, so this is not guaranteed to remove hallucinations that are caused by poor or insufficient training data.

I’m kinda getting the sense this is still just prompt engineering in a loop.

Persona-based prompting: We prompted the model to adopt different mathematical perspectives (e.g., "think like Euler focusing on series", "approach like Gauss looking for patterns").

I mean … I guess that’s scientific?

Besides that, how can the model learn at test time (at inferencing)?. It’s stateless, it doesn’t incorporate the last prompt into the model.
I don't know why that is surprising or worrying. Honestly I suspect the true number is higher.

After checking it includes audio books which might explain it, but still... 60% of Britons have read/listened to a book in the last year? I doubt it.
Nonsense. The range proofs are the proof of supply. If you have a cryptocurrency where the range proofs don't work, you obviously have bigger problems than the supply.

I wouldn't store your value in a cryptocurrency. They're currencies not gold bars or value generating assets. They require a value transfer to the miners in order to be secure.

The bitcoin base layer is not pseudo-anonymous because chain analysts have access to data from exchanges and can de-anonymize the rest of users and transactions from this data. So it is transparent, but only for powerful institutions and not society at large.

The lightning network is not private. I mean it's private, but only in the sense that you are still broadcasting your transactions publicially but without paying others to permanently record them.

Using centralized services like paypal to send bitcoin is just recreating the existing financial infrastructure bitcoin was meant to solve. It is self-defeating. There is no purpose to bitcoin unless people can practically self-custody and use it for transactions.
While I was originally interested in the promise of bitcoin as a means of exchanging money bypassing banks, these days I'm wondering if complete secrecy is still a good idea.

Are taxes – any taxation at all – a good idea? I would say yes – funding common infrastructure and services as charities or private companies seems doomed to fail. Making all financial transactions secret would make tax evasion rampant.

What about money coming from criminal enterprises, ie. money laundering. What about extreme concentration of money, having an outsized and untraceable influence on our political system and increasing regulatory capture to the extreme.

I'm not against disruption of our financial system in principle, but it seems we'll first need to also come up with good answers on how we organize society. A society of working poor, with a small but extremely wealthy elite doesn't seem like a good deal – even for the extremely wealthy.
so 60% of britons have read a book in the last 12 months, this is literally the most positive news i've seen about britain in over a decade. 60% seems nuts based on the people i know in real life.
The ship is wood and his system required large amounts of copper, including sheeting covering what I understand to be a fairly large part of the hull. I imagine the fitting process was also not inexpensive given that.
pretty much this, you go where they have setup camp. For instance, I have one tech group that uses telegram, the dumbest tool for a tech discussion that you could choose, but there they are, so that's where I checkin now and then.

I dislike discord because it's a clumsy UI. Usually you want to be able to research what you're interested in. Not a great experience on discord.

Discord tip - if ever you need to rewind to the first message, append /0. Used to be a pain to get there, maybe they've fixed it.
Yes, interesting how people assume short and medium term price movements are down to sentiment.

Most of these movements are down to professional traders buying and selling in patterns that have evolved to extract the most money from people staring at the price and listening to the news.
It seems that way but I think it's quite possible in tech for things to rapidly change. E.g. if OpenAI starts quantising all their models, which can maybe reduce their compute costs by 80%, it would be profitable, but make some number of customers leave. Certain other headwinds like decreasing cost of cost per teraflop helps them.

Like Uber I suspect their business model is simply to capex until all their enemies are dead, then jack up prices.
The smaller boards still had plenty of racism, homophobia, misogyny, etc. It's just that people went full Bigot on /b/.
That's wildly untrue. Many people just end up addicted to vaping instead.

This is for ssh. You mean you automate ssh port forwarding to access https and other services?
He said he used a wildcard cert though. So what part of the response would contain the subdomain in that case?
> in bind, allow-transfer directive

Configuring BIND as an authoritative server for a corporate domain when I was a wee lad is how I learned DNS. It was and still is bad practice to allow zone transfers without auth. If memory serves I locked it down between servers via key pairs.
By far the most logical default behavior to me is that if the issuing CA was valid and trusted when the cert was issued, the cert should be considered valid until it expires. This of course means you need a trusted timestamping service or I guess CT can fulfill the same purpose.

For CAs who get distrusted due to reasons which imply their issued certs might not be trustworthy, either revoke the certs individually or use a separate "never trust" list.
test-time training/RL is definitely the right approach for math AI in the future. It is probably one of only a few ways to spend an obscene amounts of compute at a given problem (think 10^5 gpus for a few days) and has hopes of making progress when test-time inference scaling may not at first (think if you try to do MCTS on a go position with a bad value/policy net). Alphaproof already did this but nice to see it done again--good results!
“Let us not forget, however, that for the Roman religion, conceived as a rigid state religion, the unbridled nature of a cult like that of Dionysus was considered dangerous. Arriving from Campania, the Dionysian cult spread rapidly to Rome, where the famous scandal of the Bacchanalia broke out and the devotees were deemed dangerous for the stability of the res publica itself.

In 186 BC a famous senatus consultum prohibited the cult of the god and prosecuted transgressors. Numerous places of worship were destroyed and even death sentences followed. In Pompeii, a sanctuary dedicated to the god and dating back to the middle of the third century BC remained in operation until the end of the city, in 79 AD and Pompeii always showed a fervent and growing devotion to the mysterious manifestations of the god.”

First thing I’d do for an IP that answers is a reverse lookup, so I expect that’s at least in the list of things they’d try.
My analogy would be -

Normal matter is like expected personal space in Finland. Everyone maintains a respectful distance, and they like it that way. Sometimes no one sees another human up close for days, let alone actually does anything resembling ‘touch’.

Neutron stars are like a giant coked up swinger orgy pile. Sometimes you can’t even tell where one person begins, and the next one ends, and certainly no one cares much anyway.

i already mentioned that ("may or may not"). former or latter, per-app CA management is an abomination from security and administrative perspectives. from the security perspective, abandonware (i.e. months old software at the rate things change in this business) will become effectively "bricked" by out-of-date CAs and out-of-date revocation lists, forcing the users to either migrate (more $$$), roll with broken TLS, or even bypass it entirely (more likely); from the administrative perspective, IT admins and devops guys will have to wrangle each application individually. it raises the hurdle from "keep your OS up-to-date" to "keep all of your applications up-to-date".

> As an erstwhile pentester

exactly. you're trying to get in. per-app config makes your life easier. as an erstwhile server-herder, i prefer the os store, which makes it easier for me to ensure everything is up-to-date, manage which 3rd-party CAs i trust & which i don't, and cut 3rd-parties out-of-the-loop entirely for in-house-only applications (protected by my own CA).
actually I think the interesting thing is to see how much of the boosted performance can be distilled back into the LLM at small sizes. Then you can emulate really how alphazero works b/c you have a policy improver (test time rl with similar problems). and we get to see just how strong a small net can be theoretically (say 32B or something)

Appear? One of the only ways to get people to convert was to actually take some of their beliefs and traditions and assimilate them into Christianity.

Just google how the Christmas tree came to be or better yet Christmas itself... the Bible is also just an anthology, a politically (!) hand-picked collection of texts, from various streams which fit the interests of the dominant sect at the time (400+ years after Jesus!).

Also... "Christianity began as an outgrowth of Second Temple Judaism,..." [1]

It's all related.

They should also quantify how many of the books that people are reading are trash fiction and self-help books. Not many people that read are actually reading substantive, educational works.

I'm no expert but the article I linked above says:

> It is the first (native) language of a large majority of Ukrainians.
2 of the (supposedly) coequal branches, COTUS and POTUS, need a shared resource of a truly independent, apolitical think tank of subject matter experts above and beyond OMB that cannot be fired that will advise pros/cons/tradeoffs on enacting particular bills and policies whether they want to hear it or not. Adults who know stuff not beholden to corporate masters or political favoritism must have a voice to prevent disaster.
Those aren't the modern type with discrete masking based diffusion though.

Of course, these too will have scaling laws.

I will have a look at this. Played with pipecat before and it's great, switched to sherpa-onnx though since I need something that compile to native and can run on edge devices.

I'm not sure if turn detection can be really solved except dedicated push to talk button like in walkie-talkie. I often tried google translator app and the problem is in many times when you speaking longer sentence you will stop or slow down a little to gather thought before continuing talking (especially if you are not native speaker). For this reason I avoid converation mode in such cases like google translator and when using perplexity app I prefer the push to talk button mode instead of new one.

I think this could be solved but we would need not only low latency turn detection but also low latency speech interruption detection and also very fast low latency llm on device. And in case we have interruption good recovery that system know we continue last sentence instead of discarding previous audio and starting new etc.

Lots of things can be improved also regarding i/o latency, like using low latency audio api, very short audio buffer, dedicated audio category and mode (in iOS), using wired headsets instead of buildin speaker, turning off system processing like in iphone audio boosting or polar pattern. And streaming mode for all STT, transport (using using remote LLM), TTS. Not sure if we can have TTS in streaming mode. I think most of the time they split by sentence.

I think push to talk is a good solution if well designed: big button in place easily reached with your thumb, integration with iphone action button, using haptic for feedback, using apple watch as big push button, etc.
i mean they have a verifier, so can't they even get to 90% just by random generation by the net and testing against verifier until it's numerically correct? I think the end solve rate is less important and the generality of approach is maybe more important
I remember a Democratic primary debate where they asked the question what the candidate would do to fix social security. Jerry Brown said there was nothing to fix. And everyone in the room laughed at the fool.

And that was 45 years ago.

It's a mystery to me what it is about social security the makes the over class who don't pay squat into it so absolutely enraged by it. It drives them absolutely apeshit and I don't get it.
You don't know why it's worrying that people aren't reading? I don't know what to say about that. I think it's very worrying.
Yeah, I dont believe this at all. Unless they are also counting reading books to their child, but I barely believe that either!

This is what I was thinking it must be, along the lines of Cisco NAC. Could monitor via browser plugin for full URLs or DNS server for domains.

I imagine the certificate transparency log is the avenue, but local monitoring and reporting up as a new URL or domain to scan for malware seems similarly plausible.
So, I listen to about 25 audiobooks per year (mostly fantasy and sci-fi, with a few political, popular science or popular economics book sprinkled between). I'm quite happy about that, because it's something that I can do in bed, while travelling to/from work, while doing groceries, etc.

You might say that it's my "escape from reality".

I don't think that my unending love for Dungeon Crawler Carl is somehow making me a better person.

I think that something much more relevant is how much exercise people get, how many people do weekly sports or exercise for example? And that's something that the Hacker News crowd in particular will likely score worse on then how many books they read per year.
Related question (not rhetorical). If you do DNS for subdomains yourself (and just use Cloudflare to point dns.example.com at your box) will the subdomain queries leak and show up in aggregate datasets? What I'm asking is if query recursion is always handled locally or if any of the reasonably common software stacks resolve it remotely.
Roommates, or if you're just getting started what I did could be reasonable, live with parents for a bit longer. Saved quite a lot in a year since they didn't have me pay rent, and got my first raise right around when I moved out.

And on GGP's mindset shift: Right away I put what my parents thought was an unusually high percent into my 401k, with the reasoning that if I never saw it then I'll never miss it. And it worked. I only see the amount that actually goes into my bank account and have managed all my costs based on that.
i love everything about this comment /s
Doomscrolling appears to have totally replaced reading on the commute.

I’m not sure it’s that much more virtuous to read a few Dan Browns or John Grisham per year though?
Error correction is possible even if the error correction is itself noisy. The error does not need to accumulate, it can be made as small as you like at the cost of some efficiency. This is not a new problem, the relevant theorems are incredibly robust and have been known for decades.
It would be great if they also asked people why they did or didn’t read a book in the last year, so we could have more insight.
That's very unlikely. The real number is probably higher than 90%, if we're talking about fiction.
Right. Glam (maybe because it's stuck with its data layout, maybe to present a cleaner interface) instead uses a SIMD type for a single Vec4, which tends to be a much less efficient way of using SIMD types.

> If your vector is generic (using cpp syntax here): vec<3 float> then you can just put in vec<3, float4> and then solve 4 vector math problems at a time.

Yeah, that's the idea, but for anyone reading, the main complication is when you need to branch. There are usually multiple ways to handle branching (e.g., sometimes it's worth adding a "fast path" for when all the branches are true, and sometimes it isn't; sometimes you should turn a branch into branchless code and sometimes you shouldn't) and AVX-512 adds even more ways to do it.
The low hanging fruit in this area is to do partial unmarshalling or using a SAX parser on a stream. It's likely you'll have to do this to retrieve data and put it in whatever succinct or otherwise efficient data structure.

In Java, which I consider to have the best tooling for advanced XML applications, you'd look into JAXB on streams, StAX or SAX. On complicated and heavily nested XML it might take some effort and profiling to figure out the optimal state machines for exhaustive traversal, if that's what you do.

I'd also like to mention that XSLT is an often underappreciated approach.

Wow, that's faster than I would have expected. Good thing in this case!
I read 10-20 books a year - but I think this obsession with book reading is excessively chauvinistic. If the benefit of reading is consuming complex long form stories, don't we get that from long-running TV series, audiobooks, visual novels, videogames, manga? If the answer to that is NO - then the benefit is the mechanical act of reading text? Well we do that on social media, news, group chats.

I do not see how it is possible that the benefit of reading a book has not been subsumed by all of the content we manage to absorb in modern media.
It's physically easier (no tiny books deep back sandwiches between large encyclopedias), similar books or books in a series are often the same kind of size (cookbooks are larger, paper back novels are smaller), if you know what the book you want looks like it's very easy to narrow down where it is and it's very easy to put things back/together.
Trash fiction? Have you heard of James Joyce? One man's trash is another man's gold mine.
I do organize my books by genre (IT/science, high fiction, low fiction, history, non-fiction, language learning).

Not all Britons are equally likely to pick up a book. While two-thirds of women (66%) say they have read or listened to a book in the last year, just over half of men (53%) say they have.

This is not necessarily unique for Britain and feels like more of a world-wide trend. Of course, this can be partly explained by women reading a lot of romance books, I think it could be a worrying trend for the future. Reading is an important aspect of a man's life. Sitting down and being forced to uninterruptedly focus on a singular task is exactly the kind of thing that is missing from many lives of young men.

All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone. Blaise Pascal
