The main problem with that is that it doesn't play nice with most languages. Consider

int foo(int* ptr) {
int x = ptr[1<<16];
*ptr += 1;
return x + ptr[1<<16];
}

Compilers/languages/specs tend to decide that `ptr` and `ptr + (1<<16)` cannot alias, and this can be compiled into e.g.

foo(int*):
mov eax, dword ptr [rdi + 262144]
inc dword ptr [rdi]
add eax, eax
ret

which gives undesired results if `ptr` and `ptr + (1<<16)` happen to be mapped to the same physical address. This is also pretty shit to debug/test -- some day, somebody will enable LTO for an easy performance win on release builds, and bad code with a security vuln gets shipped.
I am a parent but don't currently have a need for this. Looking at your site I would currently not subscribe if I did have a need. It's unclear how much processing will be done on device and how much will be done in the cloud. It's also unclear what data retention policies you have. I don't want to read the privacy policy to figure this out. I'd expect an explanation on the overview of what data will be stored, how long, and how it will be managed since this will involve recordings of my child. I also think a third party audit of your code and privacy practices would be helpful, but I understand this isn't something you may want to do initially while the app is changing significantly in early development.
>> Doing so rashly? That vastly increases the chances because it encourages Russia to do something in the 3-5 year timeframe.

Can you sit down with a map and draw out exactly *WHAT* you think Russia will be capable of doing 5 years from now? Keep in mind that:

1. We watched the best-equipped and trained brigades in Ukraine bounce off well-prepared minefields and trenchworks in summer 2023. Just like in WW1, technology is in a state where defense is easier than offense.

2. Europe has years of prep time, and unmolested industrial capacity available, to build defenses that would make the "Surovikin Line" look like a speedbump.

This is why people joke about "Schrodinger's Russia": where Russia is so weak that people make fun of it for its slow progress in conquering Ukraine, yet is also so powerful that it has 500+ million Europeans shaking in their boots at the idea that Russia is gonna blitzkrieg the whole continent or something.
Trump as a US president changes everything. Trump honestly does not like the idea of war and has an isolationist streak. Has a long history of saying it aloud.

Move to stop Chinese quarantine, or break the blockade would lead to a very expensive war if China does not back down.Stopping China would cost the global economy US$10 trillion, equivalent to 10% of global GDP. Depression would last the rest of Trump's presidency.
Equivalent of combined global economic crisis (2009) and Covid-19 (2020) crisis. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2024-01-09/if-china-...

Trump could just abandon Taiwan and try similar deal as with Ukraine. The US bullies Taiwan with China so chips and electronics continue to move.

Okay, but if that's true then what does that say about the relationship between Europe and the United States when they could have done this the whole time and chose not to? Especially when the last 4 or so presidents have all complained about European nations neglecting to meet their NATO defense spending targets only to be politely ignored or in some cases laughed at in public by European counterparts?

But that's OPs point. You need to care about those hyper parameters. Good on them for finding them in smaller models, but they still had to find them, because without those hyper parameters pre-training is at best unstable and at worst divergent.

Also small here means hundreds of millions to billions of parameters - that's still larger than any model pre 2020.
This. Part of my evaluation about such a purchase is that if it uses WiFi and/or requires the use of an app, then I'm probably not buying it.
American Government ≠ America, and I think a lot of people mix the two.

Some people want what large, vastly-reaching governments provide. They just need to be aware that the people who run the government can change. The power you give to one "side" can be inherited by the other "side". People should always be wary of giving that power away, because you never know who will have it next.

Ask HN: How often are you able to build throwaway prototypes?
How often do teams actually get to build POCs that aren’t expected to go into production in some form?

I just ran into this again. I asked explicitly if the code I was writing was going to be throwaway, was told yes, but then when we wanted to move it to dev, I was told we needed test coverage... And of course, now we have a half-baked but working solution in production. Sure, we can refactor it, but it's so much more of a pain now since we have to worry about migrating real data without interrupting anything, when we could've just quickly built a better version with what we learned from the POC.

Is this just the reality of software development, or am I just unlucky?
Sure but I see absolutely no way a picture would allow you to tell if someone's a bot or not.

In response to "AMD YOLO":

> It took a bit, but AMD passed my cultural test. I now believe they aren’t going to shoot themselves in the foot on software, and if that’s true, there’s absolutely no reason NVIDIA should be worth 16x more.

that's true, and if it results in an Nvidia bloodbath, there's going to be an AMD bloodbath too. I would much rather be an AMD than Nvidia right now, but I see no reason to AMD YOLO as an outsider. Scary bubble market.
Calling code across languages at least is very widespread. And typically requires custom, often clunky, solutions for all language pairs.
I think it's more interesting to build tooling that helps with the core problem rather than try to change people's attitudes. The problem imo is not that people are lazy, but that the review tooling is not good at the problem set of large changes that need to be introduced atomically.

Even if a change is not enormous, it can still be difficult to grok the context of a change when it's all squished together. Reviewing a series of smaller changes with good context messages is just mentally easier and technically simple (plus ends up with better commit messages for future context).

I've seen Butler Requests come in via our internal usage where the unified diff is still fairly small, but it's much easier still to review it properly when it's broken up into semantically grouped changes with good commit messages.
> All of this also ignores the fact that Europe jails people for thought crime at a much higher rate than US or even Russia.

This sounds crazy to me and I have trouble believing it. I tried to find sources, but could not. As you were mentioning rates i.e. numbers, I am sure you have some source for this? The fact alone that hate-speech and holocaust-denial laws exist is not sufficient.
> cars are perhaps the second most signaling purchase someone makes

Exactly this.

In addition to outside signaling, buying a Tesla is a decision people often made for moral reasons. They decided to buy an expensive, relatively poorly made car with a limited range (compared to an IC car) because they could mentally offset the disadvantages of the car by morally justifying the purchase. Today, though, this is a pretty difficult justification to make.

It's increasingly debatable that the process actually does work.
Wild guess: it was a way to offset the location of the "main" function by an arbitrary amount of bytes. In the a.out binary format, this translates to an entry point which is not zero.
Obviously, this comes at a cost.

I assume Europeans are willing to forgo some, maybe even most of their social benefits in exchange for increased military spending? I understand many currently enjoy fairly generous government support.

If not, then will there be an even bigger increase in taxes? How does EU plan to roll this out?
Tesla is not just cars. Their large scale solar power storage business is growing, they manufacture batteries, they have the largest charging infrastructure for end users, massive super computing to crunch fsd data, a lithium refinery in Texas starting up this year, and their humanoid robotics division.

Perhaps their stock was overpriced, perhaps not. Long term, there’s tremendous upside and right now it’s arguably a buying opportunity. Musk’s involvement with DoGE will end in a matter of months or maybe a year, and the people keying cars and engaging in political theatrics outside Tesla dealerships will soon move on to the next cause.
I am curious why you chose that route to abandon your Facebook account rather than deactivate or delete it.

No they didn't. They dropped the metrics for everyone entirely, and Tim's job title is unchanged. The article is arguing metrics are bad and shouldn't be used; I'm arguing metrics are a valuable signal and Tim should have been given a different formal role of mentor.

The company will anyway see you, if you’re lucky. Your name, birthdate, education and address (people often underestimate the address) tell a lot. I don’t care about colors of hair, eyes or skin and the scar across the check is at least something which allows me to recognize a person.
It's an awkward way to reserve memory. The important detail here is that both compiler phases do this, and the way the programs are linked guarantees that the reserved region has the same address in both phases. Therefore an expression tree involving pointers can be passed to the second phase very succinctly. Not pretty, no, but hardware limitations force you to do come up with strange solutions sometimes.
The idea is a sound one. However many see the approach being taken as reckless, lacking in accountability, and based on specious claims (much of what we know of the progress is self-reported by Musk, some of which has been disproven by fact checkers). Moreover, arguments against his actions are often met with straw men arguments about spending reduction instead of addressing his actions specifically.
To be fair (I edited), he mentioned annexation through economic pressure, it's the overall feeling "whatever it takes".

You don't have to worry if you live in Canada though, I think this is just politicians trolling.

I just find the rhetoric to be a bit obscene (82% of Canadians are against it according to a recent poll!), but this is a question of perspective. Also, some impact (like the additional taxes / tariffs during imports) are real, not just a joke.

So this is about web APIs? I dislike that the broad term "API" has started to be used as shorthand for "HTTP API" (and probably REST-ish HTTP APIs specifically). It wastes people's time trying to figure out if something is of interest to them. Not everyone in tech is building web apps.
There was this little thing called World Wars that decimated a lot of capital of all kinds (demographic, financial, materiel, infrastructure) which USA exited in completely different position - one of oversupply of all the above to the point that Marshall Plan helped USA as much as it helped Europe by providing an extension of demand for USA industry.

The entire Silicon Valley exists because that windfall was allowed for the most ridiculous defense spending in the world which went on to create the baseline that private investment could continue (though there was considerable dip when the defense spending got cut in 1990s, private demand by then could continue).

In comparison, wider common market in EU is mostly, well, a thing from 1993 - the EEC had partial one, but it's only since 1993 that you could reasonably treat EU market similarly as USA one, which heavily impacted just how big you could grow as company (you need people to buy your products/services after all). And you still have to deal with things like multiple languages whereas for USA it's viable to have just limited english support.

Combine this with huge impact of retirement funds looking for investment opportunities and zero interest rates for long time, you have conditions where in USA you could get multi million investment for a juice company with overengineered juicer. It's essentially law of large numbers there, lots of churn will get you more even if actual successful companies are lower percentage - the scale does it.

And let's be honest, a lot of US investment capital (including Y-Combinator!) did a lot to ensure that prospective founders from Europe founded the company at least partially in USA (in case of YC, even focusing on SFBA).

Also, you mention GDPR, when it's one of the easiest regulations to deal with in my experience (it actually cleared up stuff that existed before). The DSA and DMA only become really strict once you have MAU bigger than adult population of many of EU countries (more than 10% of total EU population).

Honestly, for startup, a lot of it is easy checklist of "don't do that" - the most you might have to do is to look at what goes through the brains of your marketing dept once you have one and prevent them from going crazy with tag manager... something that your users would be happy about too.

If anything is missing, it's the large VC industry that was incubated through decades of defense and government spending in USA (guaranteeing demand and customers).

"Socialist" is such a loaded term it's kind of best to avoid it in any discussion where you aim for clarity.

The original definition, which is where it got its lasting popularity, comes from the popular workers' movements of the 1910s and 20s: workers owning the means of production. That is basically describing an economic system in which enterprises, particularly factories, are democratically controlled by the people working in them, who would have a say in how the enterprise is run.

This notion of socialism was corrupted by Lenin and his ilk when they essentially seized the worker's revolution that tore down the Tsars of Russia and founded the USSR. However, instead of decentralized workers' councils actually owning, profiting from, and controlling the factories (and farms and other enterprises) that they worked for, the state was put in charge of all of these. Ostensibly the state represented the will of the people, so that is how this leap was justified, but of course in reality it was one of the most heinous dictatorships that the world had seen in a long time. But because worker's rights were a popular idea at thrle time, the new absolutist monarchs of the "Soviet" empire kept claiming they are "socialists", just as they claimed they are "democratic", and no one bothered to contradict them.

In the meantime, in the West of Europe, particularly Germany, the same basic workers' movements were co-opted by Hitler, here claiming that he represents the people of Germany in their interests against the bogey-men they hated, the Jewish people (and Armenians and a few others), identified as evil Capitalists that had to be combatted. So they also named their movement "socialist", while in reality having an iron grip and military-like complete top-down control of the means of production.

Finally, more actually democratic forces that were nevertheless interested in keeping the capitalist status quo came up with a series of more minor reforms that would give some more resources, better lives, and rights to workers without actually putting them in full control of the enterprise they worked for. This movement ended up calling itself social-democrat or democratic socialism. Being very much similar to the previous status quo, and keeping the wealthy in power and in control of enterprises, while also not egregiusly oppressing workers to the point of revolt, this proved to be the most enduring form of "socialism" that persisted.

Which is also an extremely uncertain way of talking about military action about your closest neighbor.

Great comment. Would this have happened without the tariff whiplash? As in, Trump always brings unaccountability. But he placed a venal children’s book author and a podcaster at the head of FBI. Since the USA has no codified privacy rights, we can expect abuses.

Also, these people don’t come from cowboys; they’re unrestrained salesman-on-TV personalities humiliated by poor competitiveness. I think that slightly matters; never seen it in a cowboy.
