Hi. Yes this is wholly correct.

On the second points:

* Well I'm very much involved in making open more models, pretrained the first model on free and open data without copyrigh issues, released the first version fo GRPO that can run on Google Colab (based on Will Brown). Yet, even then I have to be realistic: open source RL has a data issue. We don't have the action sequence data nor the recipes (emulators) that could make it possible to replicate even on a very small scale what big labs are currently working on.

* Agreed on this and I'm seeing this dynamic already in a few areas. Now it's still going to be uphill as some of the data can be bought and advanced pipelines can shortcut some of the need for it, as models can be trained directly on simulated environments.

I'm not a fan of graphics mods, but there is a similar problem with fan made RPG mods that "bring a game up to date with the technology" (wide screen, qol etc). A lot of mod packs feel like they have to add content (characters, quests) that is not so likely to fit in with the original game just because they can.

At least in Gibberlings mod packs for the infinity engine games the extra content is non existing or optional...

Ask HN: Are you using pay-as-you-go for runtime AI inference?
The core user journey in our B2B product is search-retrieve-read content. We've added a RAG search on top to answer questions in search. On average, it's about 7-8k tokens of input per RAG search, and we see a max of about 100 searches per minute.

To me, this seems like a clear win for pay-as-you-go direct to the OpenAI API (with option to swap APIs to other providers to meet cost goals). Others in the organization think provisioned throughput units are the way to go since that's the only way you can guarantee an SLA on the responses.

I was making the point that the uncertainty principle is not about QM. And it is not. It occurs in a wide range of even classical systems.

As for your comment about them not having defined proporties; this is also just one interpretation. You argue for violation of realism. That’s fine, but unnecessary.

Violation of locality or realism is only needed in the context of Bell inequalities, and this assumes there is no superdeterminism and you are “free” to choose your experiment, which is of course a rather strange argument to have to begin with.

Figures. Crazy how badly I midsized this problem. When I was working on a cloud provider I suspected this would be a big problem space for building in, but I thought it was in the low billions, I was thinking (I guess stupidly) that the clouds and tools around them would be kind enough to create a lot of standardization so as at least this stuff wasn't junk. I get wanting to create a bit of friction, but thought "this is a bad place to make high friction". I guess it's pretty bad given the size of this acquisition? Or GCP just wants surface area data on other cloud providers (I presume this would aid in that, but I don't know)?

If people were immortal, I'd agree.

I think in something like hyperbolic discounting, with each generation having diminishing connection to the atrocities of the past. If I didn't… well, I don't know how much of my family wealth came indirectly from the colonies — I do know one of my grandfathers was a British civil servant and my mother's mother was in the British Raj as either a young child or toddler. I may not be a Christian for the last 25-30 years, but I was raised Catholic and read the Bible, so I know about Matthew 7:5, motes and planks in eyes etc.

I do know that "Sins of the Father" and "Ancestral sin" is a long-standing aspect of human cognition, but I think it's this aspect which itself is the string in our heads upon which demagogues pull.

there were speech synthesis boxes in the 80s, so i doubt this is intractable. at&t did a lot of work on it through 2010 (perhaps beyond, but i stopped paying attention), where the syllables are nearly perfect, assuming you can massage the source text using context clues to force the proper pronunciation. Is it "read" or "red"? well, that depends on the context.

Even in the voice-cloning TTS you have to deliberately spell things to be pronounced correctly.

so it comes down to "guessing the context" for a computer, which is something that LLMs can do fairly well, and raspberry pi can run small LLM, so who knows. Sentiment analysis is one thing, i'd probably mess with prompting an llm to "correct the grammar" and see what words change - or even "change words for synonyms that can't be misconstrued by the TTS engine, unless the tone of the phrase or passage changes dramatically, in which case, phonetically spell the word in question"

but i only think to do this because LLMs exist. if you had asked me 15 years ago how to automate "pronunciation" of english i'd have said "if IBM and AT&T and Apple can't figure it out..."

The governments fund projects which are of public interest. They don't actually have development teams in-house.

This is much like the EU funding open source projects of public interest through grant calls.

It's exactly what we want: to fund individuals who's interests align with the public. In fact, it would be great if there were a browser which matches this criteria: publicly funded and designed for the average citizen (as opposed to designed to maximise ad revenue).

> I think it would be better to pay a vendor like Redhat or SuSE or Cannonical to do it.

We don't want governments to fund for-profit corporation. These corporations typically have interests opposite to end-users. E.g.: less digital rights, less digital autonomy, more vendor lock-in, and solidifying their position of power.

In an ideal world, you'd have none of these type of organisations, but much smaller teams and individuals working on individual projects which can inter-operate.

What is the "nt'd" in supposed to be short for?

"y'couldn't'v'nt'd" to me sounds like "you couldn't have unted", which is true as I've never "unted" anything in my life.

I guess "I'd'nt've" means "I don't have", but in British English we'd still write that as "I don' 'av'" (as we'd also drop the t).

> While we're talking about representations, there's something I've always wondered. Why are the objects that the maps which are the representations act on also called representations? Spinors don't act as the spinor group, S ⊂ Hom(Spinor,Spinor) does.

Physicists and mathematicians speak differently, but I think that mathematicians usually avoid this language. For us, spinors are elements of the spinor representation, and, more generally, the things on which a representation acts are called generically "vectors in the representation", not representation themselves.

(That said, one will often see in math language like "let V be a representation of G", meaning more formally "let G \to GL(V) be a representation", which probably is the sort of abuse of language you mean.)

You obviously should read the robots.txt and follow it, but it's just as much about not just absolutely hammering a site over and over again, 24-7. Your scraper needs to learn about update patterns and adjust it's scraping interval. It needs to back off if the respons times increases.

Conference does not imply gatekeeping. There are many conferences out there which accept almost all submissions.

As for the "scientific community" being a filter, there is a difference between "elite" researchers being the ultimate arbiters of scientific truth via their positions in the editorial teams of journals versus everyone being allowed to publish on open platforms like arxiv and bad ideas/quackery being filtered out naturally.

Because the former is what makes or breaks a scientist's career, grad students and postdocs hyper optimize to publish at prestigious venues, as opposed to optimizing for doing science. These two are aligned only sometimes.

UCLA Physicists Discover Mysterious Spiral Patterns on Solid Surfaces
You have to look beyond the study to common sense and why this produces “duh” level of insights. It’s an entire culture. Violence, crime, usually also associated with poverty, etc. when an entire neighborhood/part of a city is known for this, as often happens, it’s because it’s become the culture.

As an example, you have an entire genre of music that almost solely glorifies gang life, dealing drugs, carrying guns, etc and they all have pit bulls with spiked collars in their music videos. This promotes what’s already happening IRL. (I say this as a huge “gangster rap” fan!)

I've always wondered that by gaining the ability to simulate light (or basically anything) in a more accurate manner, we reduce artists' ability to control the final result.

Back in 2D times, an artist could just set a pixel to a given color, and it would be that color, in early 3d, they had the ability to paint in shadows/highlights or control the texture colors directly.

With the physically based workflow, they had to author roughness/metalness and albedo maps, and were hoping for the best that the final result looked good in the game.

Nowadays with simulated light bounces, changing anyting in the scene could affect everything else, making controlling the final result that much harder.

Yes it does look better automatically, but at the cost of adding difficult of channeling the artists' vision.
Implot: Immediate mode, GPU accelerated plotting library running on browser
This is a classic false equivalence. Comparing the ownership of an inherently aggressive animal to the risks of driving, falling down stairs, or eating food is misleading.

The key difference is that cars, stairs, and food are essential parts of our society and and built environment whereas vicious and threatening dogs simply are not. Dogs, especially breeds with a known propensity for aggression, can and do actively attack and maim, often with little provocation. When an aggressive dog attacks, the harm is not an accident — it's a foreseeable outcome of allowing a high-risk animal into an environment where it can threaten others.

Cars and other 'risky' activities you mentioned are heavily regulated, with safety standards, licenses, and liability laws in place to mitigate harm. Yet, aggressive dogs often exist in a legal gray area, where irresponsible owners can inflict lasting harm with little consequence.[0][1] The fact that some people choose to neglect or improperly train their animals makes the situation worse, not better.

This isn’t about banning all dogs. It’s about preventing preventable violence from animals that have no place in densely populated urban areas. I can't drive a monster truck in a city, why should I be allowed to walk a monster animal?
