Agreed. The conversation we should be having is, "How do we enable content ownership in a post-physical media era while preserving the rights and freedoms of physical media ownership, i.e. personal backups, content transcoding for personal use, lending to friends and family, etc", not "How do we preserve physical media".

The content and the flexibility of use is the point, not the medium. It's why DRM is antithetical to consumer use, as its function isn't to stop piracy so much as to promote difficulty of use (and therefore drive revenue).

Switching to subjective preferences, I'd much rather be able to buy DRM-free 4K HDR encodes with my customer ID invisibly watermarked into the content to combat piracy, rather than yet another DRM-enabled service. It's how music sales generally work (sans the watermarking), and the industry seems perfectly fine with their post-DRM reality.
Or maybe it's just popular? Recommend something else if you don't like it rather than just insinuating crap about people who do.
An interesting day on which to impose this restriction, given:

I was using K8s previously, and I’m currently using ECS in my current team, and I hate it. I would _much _ rather have K8s back. The UX is all over the place, none of my normal tooling works, deployment configs are so much worse than the K8s equivalent.

He still has his hooks into a wildly corrupt administration with all sorts of opportunities for graft, but he's going about it in a surprisingly incompetent and spiteful way. At least that's my best read of the recent stock movements. If/when he falls out with Trump there won't be much keeping the stock this overvalued given his recently shredded reputation. Of course the reverse could be true and if he quiets down and focuses on looting in the background Tesla might make out pretty well.
I didn't interpret the mention of move 37 in the way I think you are here.

The author brought it up specifically to highlight that they don't believe move 37 signifies what many people think it does, and that while impressive, it's not general enough to indicate what some people seem to believe it indicates.

In essence, I think they said the same thing you are using different words.
I didn't say they were monstrous.

I said they don't regret.

Now you can argue that's psychopathic, which is often synonymous with monstrous, but I wouldn't call them psychopathic, either, because a person is psychopathic. A group of people, an institution, cannot be.

Now, the systems that these institutions exist within are often heavily influenced by psychopaths looking to leverage situations for their own maximum benefit, often at the expense of other humans, but the institutions themselves, they're amoral.

Is my understanding wrong that LLMs are trained to emulate observed human behavior in their training data?

From that follows that LLMs fit to produce all kinds of human biases. Like preferring the first choice out of many, and the last our of many (primacy biases). Funnily the LLM might replicate the biases slightly wrong and by doing so produce new derived biases.
Yep.

I just dug my RTL SDR v4 out of the drawer right before a trip to Florida. Guess this is a sign to get it going.
Dictating they buy one of the most expensive flights (one of the immediate ones taking off that day) probably isn't a great look either. Like so much else with law enforcement, they look like shit because of the system and incentives set up.

Language of choice has nothing to do with it (people responding to look for Haskell shops lol). You need to work at a place that has problems that are deep enough to warrant deep dives.

It's similar to one aspirin vs 10000. Also, people do thumbprints and live normal lives after, I just threw that out as an extreme. LSD is very safe if you're doing normal doses. Most people don't take 10000 doses so I can't really speak to that.
I think people tend to just not understand what autoregressive methods are capable of doing generally (i.e., basically anything an alternative method can do), and worse they sort of mentally view it as equivalent to a context length of 1.
That might be a good idea, yeah. My worry is that I haven't really ever used Haskell commercially (I used it a bunch for things like Advent of Code, etc.), so I would have to learn a lot on the job - which I'm willing to do, but companies might look for somebody who's more proficient.
It is too bad many Cities made it illegal to hang cloths. I use to do that years ago, but now you get fined.

Generally yes.

Not sure if you got measles as a child and remember it. I got it and remember it and it's an awful illness. I didn't need any "brainwashing" to vaccinate my children. Making sure that they don't suffer is enough of a reason.

Apart from that: I will of course expose my children to a tiny risk if it can safe the live of another person. And you do it every day as well with your own life and with that of your own children, if you have any. It's called a society. It would be much safer for me not to break for a person crossing the road (another car could tailgate me). A pedestrian would maybe leave a dent in my car, but the risk to my life or that of my passengers is negligible. I still break every single time, because it is simply the right thing to do. You make tons of these tradeoffs every single day.

>You only talk about others but ignore the all the people who got vaccine damage.

Let's start with the worst form of "damage": death. The CDC's website has a total of one documented case, where the vaccine was linked to a death because of a very rare combination of circumstances. One. Total. After Billions of vaccinations. I'll take those chances. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccine-safety/vaccines/mmr.html

Other possible side effects are either a non issue, or completely acceptable (higher risk of seizures in the weeks after vaccination – one of my children has epilepsy since being a baby. Seizures, they are exhausting but not actually dangerous).

The worst possible side effect seems to be Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), which can result from contracting the wild measles virus as well. So giving the vaccine actually doesn't increase the risk of contracting this illness, but it protects against at least a severe illness and at best a painful death.

>Take your N-th booster.

What has that to do with anything? You get one booster for measles at the most. Don't tell me that you are one of those people who can't keep their vaccine-scepticisms separate!
I don't see how this characterization is wrong as a shorthand. Until HP comes up with an update, these printers don't print. If they never do, then it is literally true. There was a home router manufacturer that issued a firmware update that permanently disabled their product, users had to physically exchange them.

Just as long as you don't call your predictor on itself as input, you should be good to go!
Just because a model is useful for describing/predicting the world doesn’t mean it’s a fundamental part of reality. To be very broad, I feel math is at the intersection between how our minds work and how the physical world roughly at human scale works. You can see this in how at extremely smaller and extremely larger scales math gets more and more complex at describing things. This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I think math in the physical world is itself an emergent property at certain scales, and not the “rules of reality” that all other emergent properties arise from. Still very useful for us, but in the way solar flares can sometimes flip a bit in an otherwise reliable computer, math (as a tool to describe reality) is an abstraction that things can leak through. Pure math, and don’t downvote me just because you disagree, is a property of how our minds work, it’s a thing humans do.
Lack of SMP was an artificial limitation for the BeOS 5 Personal Edition (I think it was called). The idea being you’d get BeOS for free but you couldn’t use it as a proper multiprocessor workstation without paying for a license.

This was also the same BeOS release that targeted Intel and ran off a virtual disk stored on a Windows FAT32 partition.

Feel you, but, drop in Tesla stock caused quite a chaos elsewhere. Triggering mechanisms put in place causing systemic risks to be re-evaluated and what not. Probably tax payers world-wide will feel the effects long term, I must think directly of pension funds (over)reacting. Almost end of the quarter, just before portfolio’s rebalance. Did anyone overinvest in specific FAANG, you know the situation: skeletons and closets..
If you zoom out a bit, any human activity (like "doing math") can be characterized by "societal impact" and analyze whether any given activity (or underlying concepts) have utility. Take for example the concept of "nation" - why does this exist? Because as soon as anyone invents it, it will spread until resisted by another "nation". Why do we need money? Because a society with money is stronger than one without. In the same way, we can imagine a society with and without math. To a first order, the society with math is (far) stronger through its application to technology (and therefore industrialization, and therefore warfighting). Of course, pure math has had some profound impacts, far beyond what you'd expect (it discovers the tools that science later requires).

Math is yet another example of what we do with free-time when existence is not "nasty, brutish and short", which historically maintains and grows that free-time. Eventually math discovery may "peter out" and reach 0 contribution asymptotically, but even this behavior is acceptable: as the background of teaching students what is already known; as a peon to the concept of artistic patronage; as a dividend paid on math's incredible legacy; and to the always non-zero possibility that these new tools with eventually become useful.

Platonism vs nominalism is a bit of a meta rabbit hole, which most mathemeticians wisely ignore.
How is it safe to spend all this money on a domestic factory just for it to be cheaper to import everything anyways? The safe choice is to hoard cash and inventory until they have certainty of whether tariffs will happen or not. All Trump is doing is creating unnecessary deadweight loss when he can just negotiate without threatening a suicide pact.
I think the previous poster's point goes beyond that. The argument is that the stock market is going down not because of any standard economic factors, but because of rising uncertainty about US policy.

Businesses and investors love stability. They want legal protections and regulations to be predictable. If this downturn is a result of uncertainty about policy, it won't be as easy to turn things around. Particularly if the policies continue to shift every other day.
One approach does use this. You can ask an LLM to explicitly check its own answers by outputting thinking tokens, generating a reward signal if it gets the right answer, and directly updating based on the reward signals. That’s a part of how DeepSeek R1 was trained. It’s better but not perfect, because the thinking process is imperfect. Ultimately the LLM might not know what it doesn’t know.
Dude, the US threatens to invade those countries that used to be allies. "Unreliable partner" means traitor.
>The third one about seven systems is both an exaggeration and a demand.

I don't know how many times in the post they say some variation of "it's your stuff, do whatever you want", but it's certainly more than once. While they didn't explicitly say it (again) in this particular sentence, "do what you want" is repeated enough times throughout the page that it's pretty clear that nothing on this page is a "demand".

"You provide an amazing service and I want to help. But part of helping is I need to understand what is it that you would like me to do."

Is a pretty reasonable take. I don't know how that translates to "really hard to work with", but, in their own words: "It's your project, you are welcome to do with it whatever you want".

Women can be and are bullies too. The article took into account both sexes:

>>The research shows that higher levels of bullying in both men and women were associated with having children in young adulthood (by ages 23 or 24) in addition to having more children overall.

Their reason appears to be that they are able to date more and engage in more sexual activity as they assert their (I assume, higher) social position:

>> The recent findings build on previous BRAVE research that has indicated adolescent bullies date more and engage in more sexual activity than their peers—attracting potential mates by publicly asserting their dominance and establishing their position socially.

My guess is that more aggression leads to less foresight about consequences of action, or as OP mentioned, are just worse on average at family planning

Her management notoriously tried to get Winehouse to stay alive and keep making music. She made a song about it [0].

I think simply getting a paycheck was quite a contribution to these artists' demise.

If someone created and sold a printer that did not care about the ink that was used, the people of the interwebs would go crazy in the forums when the shitty ink they used did not work correctly in the printer.

This is not a defense for DRM'd cartridges, but just an honest look at how people will behave. The support for the company with a open ink policy would be astronomical for the complaints they will receive. Sometimes, people/users are the problem but there's no way to tell that to the customer without you being the dick. "the customer is always right" is such a bullshit fallacy that makes operating a business near impossible.
I’m the cto of the fork foundation where we provide important alternatives to spoons and work hard to serve our community with the kind of necessary innovations that putting modern food into that hole in your face requires.

Certainly something to consider, but they don't fail that often. I've had 1 issue to fix over around 10 years. The cost of that repair over the whole period is ignorable. Once you factor in the running cost, you're just spending more than the maintenance on the energy instead.

In a different way. There's the old joke and doctors and God, and you will certainly find attorneys who are full of themselves. But while I've never met an attorney who thought they were an engineer simply because they were excellent lawyer, I've encountered plenty of engineers who believe themselves to be masters of the law (including here on Hacker News), having logically deduced it from first principles with their superior intellect.

Even software updates for non critical products are frustrating. I have stopped using some locally installed products (specifically, Evernote), because of it's forced, intrusive upgrade settings.

Aristotle says we should only require of a discipline what the domain affords (when he is establishing principles not by induction).

Indeed, a perfectly serviceable philosophy of math would address what enables it to be taught and used consistently by different practitioners, so they all get the same results (or better, by some agreed metric thereof).

But I think the real question is what makes one mathematical approach better than another: economy? insight? accuracy? transparency? composability with other approaches? usability? cultural value? economic relevance?

Then, if you want to traverse 2,300 years, does the historical evolution of math evidence tension between the math we want and the math we got, and how (TF) to get what we want?

Realizing we're wrong about math is the essence of math: it's how we got 365 days instead of 360, irrational numbers distinct from ratios ...

Not crazy given the incompetence in American political leadership.

BUT, if US treasuries default, your savings accounts, agency, municipal, state, international bonds, stocks - all will fail immediately.

Your literal checking account is backed by treasuries under the hood by the bank. Widespread bank runs will be likely. And even if you are at the front of the line in a run, you will not be able to withdraw $100k in actual dollar bills because banks don't have them in vaults like the old days.
The aforementioned reasons are vague and meaningless in a technical sense, since they could be used to describe any other language as well. There are lots of "solid technologies" out there, not just Rust.

And no, I don't hate Rust, and I don't really care about Rust, or if a project/library is written in Rust or whatever, if it fits the bill, I will use it.

If you tell me a real argument why using Rust here is beneficial instead of the vague reasons described here, then I'm happy to listen.

If there are no reasons then that is also fine, then it seems like it was used because of a personal choice, experience or other constraints that we don't know.

If you are deeply in love with Rust or any other language then thats also fine. And I also get that Rust is great in many situations, like replacing low-level C code, etc.. But stop putting it on a pedestal if there are no real reasons to back that up (in this case).

I keep seeing people post the Atlanta GDP forecast without context around the short term import imbalance.

"the January surge in imports - especially for gold - caused the model to move negative. As the Atlanta Fed noted: "the contribution of net exports to first-quarter real GDP growth fell from -0.41 percentage points to -3.70 percentage points".

Usually there would be an offsetting increase in inventories, but that is a lagging indicator. This is a short-term distortion and will balance out over the next month or so. I don't expect negative GDP in Q1." [1]

As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, unified memory has existed long before Apple released the M1 CPU, and in fact many Intel processors that Apple used before supported it (though the Mac pros that supported 1.5TB of RAM did not, as they did not have integrated graphics).

The presence of unified memory does not necessarily make a system better. It’s a trade off: the M-series systems have high memory bandwidth thanks to the large number of memory channels, and the integrated GPUs are faster than most others. But you can’t swap in a faster GPU, and when using large LLMs even a Mac Studio is quite slow compared to using discrete GPUs.
