The data? I checked and Ground and Power pins are 0 and 5V respectively as I recalled.

This StackExchange thread has some good diagrams and useful answers:

https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/190592/why-d...

Lower speed links are suppsoed to pull the - data pin slightly negative and, effectively, a safely 'TTL high' (relative to 5V source) of greater than 2.8V. The power difference is 5V to better guard against too much loss over a long cable.

Higher speed links are quoted as using even lower voltages (the graph appears 0 and 0.4 v swapped as flipped).
Conversion therapy is a tool used by some to try and change a person's sexuality. Since this discussion is about modifying abnormal (read, abhorrent) sexuality, it follows that conversion therapy might be one of the "experimental treatments" mentioned. Claiming it's irrelevant is a weak rebuttal for a logical counter. Got any others?
Wikipedia occasionally has errors, which are usually minor. The LLMs I've tried occasionally get things right, but mostly emit limitless streams of plausible-sounding lies. Your comment paints them as much more similar than they are.
Personally, don't use it at all. Worst social media platform IMO.
I'd like to agree with you and remain optimistic, but so much tech has promised the moon and stagnated into oblivion that I just don't have any optimism left to give.

I don't know if you're old enough, but remember when speech-to-text was the next big thing? DragonSpeak was released in 1997, everyone was losing their minds about dictating letters/documents in MS Word, and we were promised that THIS would be the key interface for computing evermore. And.. 27 years later, talking to the latest Siri, it makes just as many mistakes as it did back then. In messenger applications people are sending literal voice notes -- audio clips -- back and forth because dictation is so unreliable. And audio clips are possibly the worst interface for communication ever (no searching, etc).

Remember how blockchain was going to change the world? Web3? IoT? Etc etc.

I've been through enough of these cycles to understand that, while the AI gimmick is cool and all, we're probably at the local maximum. The reliability won't improve much from here (hallucinations etc), while the costs to run it will stay high. The final tombstone will be when the AI companies stop running at a loss and actually charge for the massive costs associated with running these models.
I don't doubt they're servants of the state (at least partially), I just question exactly which state it is that they're in service to.
What's the difference? Ads are valuable to advertisers for a number of factors, including the estimated likelihood that the targeted user will pay money for $PRODUCT.

An increase in relevance isn't exactly the same thing as an increase in favor, but it's hard to believe they're not correlated.

Steve Klabnik talked about how he and rest of the early Rust team recognised the importance of tools like this on a recent Oxide and Friends episode[0], it's well worth a listen.

I think this is a positive sign for Swift and Apple's continued push to increase it's viability as a general purposes language outside of Apple's ecosystems. It's still early, but directionally it's promising.

The reason that's a problem is because of how most companies structure their engineering roles. Individual contributors are the bottom part of the metaphorical pyramid. IC engineers are meant to be managed because by definition the progression of the career is to move towards doing less code and managing projects and people... that means that you will not have high level contributors that you can trust because they're all doing more management work.

In other words companies don't see the value of highly experienced code contributors, because writing code is seen as the relatively easy part of the job, and the engineers who manage people are "force multipliers", etc. But in my opinion this is just a structure that enables the 'move fast' mentality, and the 'scale by adding people' mentality, both of which can be fine but the consequence is code that breaks, is unreliable, and hard to maintain.
Yeah exactly. He is getting robbed and believes the robbers when they simply use the word “efficient”. His brain translates that to “in my interests”.

What any words mean don’t truly matter. Just what gets signaled to his brain. These people are effectively brainwashed. Or it isn’t a person, and is a bot. Who knows.
That's true too, but the bigger difference from my point of view is that factual errors in Wikipedia are relatively uncommon, while, in the LLM output I've been able to generate, factual errors vastly outnumber correct facts. LLMs are fantastic at creativity and language translation but terrible at saying true things instead of false things.

Thank you, that's a very fair point, and I apologize for my *-centric" viewpoint and such a short quip. That is not what we're aiming for in conversation on this site.

I took a giant shortcut, without providing sources, that was meant to indicate that we are in a situation that closely resembles the "Gilded Age" or "Robber Baron" era in the United States.

I was intending to point towards the actions of individuals in the analogous position of those "Robber Barons", in particular here, Elon Musk.

This dude used the data from Twitter, fed it to xAI (xAI spent lots of CapEx from investment on GPUs). Mix mid-"AI" training on such a ridiculously valuable dataset for free == cool models. Cool models + data stream of Doomscrolling == Higher valuation.

This just seems like a "nepo-baby" hit it big on some meme coin and bailed out Daddy.

It doesn't have to be a high stakes situation, sometimes small annoyances can add up
You could say the same thing about the Windows Settings app, but it resizes in every way and it's very much size adaptable. In other words, UI components resize or become visible/invisible depending on the width.
We've only witnessed two months of this. Imagine four years of it.
> Passively? Actively. A majority of voters handed over all the keys to these guys in full knowledge of the kind of people they are and what they wanted to do.

I wouldn't say "full knowledge," but it's not like the other guys were any good either. There was a huge spike in inflation and right before the election it became clear they were lying about their leader's obvious incapacity. All the options voters had were bad.

Personally, I blame the Democrats for this. Winning against Trump should've been easy, but they managed to fuck it up in all kinds of ways. They knew the stakes (and said so, loudly), but for some unfathomable reason they thought that meant they could coast. They also don't appear to know what the fuck they should be doing now, and seem to want to keep coasting.
Company directors are generally given wide latitude in what they can do without breaching fiduciary duty, so such lawsuits were always going to be an uphill battle.

Solar City was a debacle, it died immediately. Tesla's story in court was they were about to go bankrupt, and it was a financial necessity to redeploy all Solar City assets, including all employees, to Model 3 production.

It breaks my heart because my rust belt hometown got a substantial investment from the state they had been chasing for a couple decades.

$700M of the Buffalo Billion went to a Solar City facility, Elon even said they were going to build the solar roofs there!

New York State didn't dare pick a fight with him as the factory set empty for years.

Putting aside the fact that you can't justify fraud by post-hoc outcomes (Shkreli and SBF also claimed that they didn't commit fraud because they would or did win it back), I doubt any of the Tesla Energy division income (even assuming the accounting is okay) is a result of businesses that can be traced back to Solar City.

I suspect most of the business is battery storage and the Powerwall was introduced by Tesla before the acquisition.
>Even a terrible MS Paint drawing is more interesting than an AI-generated image

True and factual. I don't get why people don't just take pictures from Flickr, CC BY-SA, just post it and link the author. Having an AI-generated image in your writing makes me think the whole text is also AI-generated.

By the way, the best thing you can do for skimmers is include images, because they break the flow of text. You can also try using headings that stand out for having inverted colors for example, but people generally don't do that with markdown and generic heading CSS.

I’ll never stop finding it weird how utterly disconnected TSLA and BYD are from actual corporate performance and how long the culture/meme war can sustain a remarkably shitty company’s market cap, in spite of almost schedulable fuck ups and lies to investors.
I have no idea how anyone is disagreeing with you. Looking it up in the dictionary, government imposed fees are absolutely taxes.

More likely Musk liked xAI's CTO more than X's CTO, and parted ways with one of them. Which is his prerogative, as the owner of both companies. I'm sure Haofei would love to be the CTO of one of the strongest AI models in existence. I would, if I were in his shoes.
Thanks for your input! Your question is indeed not easy to answer. To give you my perspective on these aspects, I should mention that I grew up in Germany. In Germany, social networking primarily takes place through associations. If you come to Germany as a foreigner, the best thing you can do is join a sports club.

When I think about how I joined back then, without a smartphone or the internet, it was mostly by coincidence—running into someone at school or in the neighborhood who was already active in a club. The schedules were always strictly fixed, so there was no need for organization via group chats or social media.

One thing that stands out to me is the importance of volunteerism. In Germany, the majority of civil protection services, including the fire department and disaster relief, are managed by volunteers. Professional firefighters are actually a minority. I joined the youth fire department at a young age, and I stayed because it was simply what we always did. We regularly organized big festivals, and many people attended. These events were a great way to get people excited about what we were doing, and often, they would say, “Hey, I want to do this too!”

I'll check out the movie, and I’ll also read Bowling Alone, which is mentioned in this context. It all sounds like structural problems that we also face in Germany. Civil protection services are increasingly struggling with a lack of new recruits, which aligns with the themes of the movie. People often say they don’t want to commit too strongly to one thing anymore.

What is the point of LLMs? It seems nobody really knows, including the people selling them. They are a solution in search of a problem. But if you figure it out in the meanwhile, make sure to let everyone know. Personally I'd be happy with just having back Google as it was between roughly 2006-2019 (RIP) in the place of the overly verbose statistical parrots.
It has dropped pretty low (relatively) at some points since the purchase - probably a fair bit under $100 to trigger any margin call.
And how much of that is solar instead of Powerwall and Megapack? They don’t break it out in filings unless I missed it.
From all good Democrats out there, they managed to come up with a mummy as a candidate so it is kind of self dug grave
How so? Not everything is a government imposed fee. If it was, then there would be no way to transfer money if the entire system was a tax as all the value would go towards the tax leaving none to transfer for goods or services.
I imagine you need to make and destroy sandboxed environments quite often. How fast does your code create a sandboxed environment?

Do you make the environments on demand or do you make them preemptively so that one is ready to go the moment that it is needed?

If you make them on demand, have you tested ZFS snapshots to see if it can be done even faster using zfs clone?
Who would have thought that actively antagonizing one of our biggest trading partners while also hitting them with a bunch of tariffs to use as some leverage to try get them to join the US would make them unlikely to want to visit the US?

It's almost like nearly everyone on earth thought it was really dumb except Donald Trump.
Using a tool to beat match has always been considered "cheating", but it is obvious why it is a tool.

I guess in the same way that using a higher-level language than Assembly is "cheating." I'm not sure if you're referring specifically to the Sync feature (which is still largely frowned upon) or more generally analyzed beatgrids, BPM readouts and Master Tempo (which keeps the pitch in tune when you change the tempo), but the vast majority of practicing DJs today are not needing/using the old school vinyl beatmatching techniques.

Call it whatever you want but you're going to be incredibly hard-pressed to find anyone that can mix as smoothly on vinyl as someone decent with CDJs. Sure it's a cool dying art and analog and all that but at this point virtually anyone trying to play vinyl out is sacrificing the listener's experience for cool points (including the physical issues with reproducing sound from delicate machinery in a chaotic environment).

IMO this means that your internal "algorithm" is over-trained for novelty.

The truth, once discovered, ceases to be new. Does that mean the truth is not worth anything after an initial moment of discovery? Or (this is rhetorical, obviously), is it possible that the things that our mind tells us are worth pursuing/engaging and those things that are ACTUALLY worth pursuing/engaging are not always (or even OFTEN) commensurate?

Ask HN: What's your Best Advice for becoming a successful crypto/stock trader?
I’ve been trying daily trading in crypto and have read several books on trading, including Trading in the Zone and on Technical Analysis.

If there are successful daily stock or crypto traders here, what other good books or resources would you recommend for becoming a better trader? What things have helped you improve the most?

Moreover, if you use software development to make better-informed trading decisions, what have you found to be the most helpful? (excluding the bots)

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences and advice!

No, different media are different—or, better said, different institutions are different, and different media can support different institutions.

Nonfiction books and scientific papers generally only have one person, or at best a dozen or so (with rare exceptions like CERN papers), giving attention to their correctness. Email messages and YouTube videos generally only have one. This limits the expertise that can be brought to bear on them. Books can be corrected in later printings, an advantage not enjoyed by the other three. Email messages and YouTube videos are usually displayed together with replies, but usually comments pointing out errors in YouTube videos get drowned in worthless me-too noise.

But popular Wikipedia articles are routinely corrected by hundreds or thousands of people, all of whom must come to a rough consensus on what is true before the paragraph stabilizes.

Consequently, although you can easily find errors in Wikipedia, they are much less common in these other media.
hannob aptly explained why I left my job, because Quantum RNG is a gimmick and doesn't solve any real problems. But to expand on that, it was heavily marketed with the idea that somehow we're living in a "entropy starved" world. We do a pretty good job of gathering entropy today from various sources such as mixing unique identifiers of hardware, CPU jitter, interrupt timing, RDRAND (which is a similar design to metastability of ring oscillators), etc. So the remark if you haven't managed to generate one secure 256-bit key then you have much bigger problems resonated heavily with me, and I realised there just isn't a need for gigabit speed TRNGs and the Quantum marketing is just scare tactics which my employer employed.

Also no crypto library or application is going to modify its entropy source to get its randomness from a TRNG device directly when it already has access to a high quality RNG via OS APIs/crypto libraries (for a good list of these check out https://randombytes.cr.yp.to/).

The concern I would have with relying too much on a source key to derive other keys from would be if one of the keys is leaked, the others would also be exposed

A modern RNG would implement fast key erasure which is what Jason Donenfeld did with random device in Linux. See https://blog.cr.yp.to/20170723-random.html and https://www.zx2c4.com/projects/linux-rng-5.17-5.18/inside-li... .

I know a number of people at Apple, some of them pretty high up. The long and short of it is, Apple doesn't really give a shit about the world outside its ecosystem. It will interoperate when it has to (e.g. wifi, bluetooth, web standards) but if an effort does not help with selling Apple hardware, that effort will not get headcount or funding. So whatever multiplatform efforts you are seeing happen in spite of, not thanks to, Apple's stance.
Victoria-based Canadian here. Just back from a week in Palm Springs and a road trip to Disneyland. Met lots of visiting Canadians and talked to lots of Americans. Much of the discussion was around the horrible currency exchange rate. Why doesn't the article get into that?
Shades of grey fallacy. You have way more context clues about the information on the internet than you do with an LLM. In fact, with an LLM you have zero(-ish?).

I can peruse your previous posts to see how truthful you are, I can tell if your post has been down/upvoted, I can read responses to your post to see if you've been called out on anything, etc.

This applies tenfold in real life where over time you get to build comprehensive mental models of other people.
If you look at this from the perspective of Trump wanting to destabilize the USA geopolitically and internally (for whatever reason), it seems he's been incredibly successful. I'm not saying Trump is smart but if you look at this from another angle he's incredibly effective.
By your own admission, those are not dialogues, but merely query optimisations in an advanced query language. Like how you would tune an SQL query until your get the data you are expecting to see. That's what it is for the LLMs.
