it's not really about advertising, but it's effects. advertising per se is not bad, basically it's just some kind of product information. that's all. but it's coming with some negative effects that are bad. SEO and Affiliate are one of the best examples to that. the thing is that advertising is connected to revenue/profit. which is the root cause of all little problems up the stream.
Hi, I build NextJs in standalone mode per docs and it works pretty well, we keep it running using pm2 but I want to migrate to systems service. I would say any NextJs should work but we run DollarDeploy ourselves using NextJs 14
“begs the question” means something entirely different than “raises the question”, fyi.
"a timer (urgency) is usually not a very good idea for thinky games" 100% agree. I hate the timer on the NY Times mini puzzle. I like these types of simple games for unwinding, and a timer makes it more stressful.
I believe Mixture-of-Experts is a way for a neural network to group certain knowledge into smaller subsets. AFAIK there isn't a specific grouping goal, the network just figures out what goes where on it's own and then when an inference request is made it determines what "expert" would have that knowledge and routes it there. This makes the inference process much more efficient.
Same in Spanish. Propaganda and publicidad are interchangeable

Show HN: Windows XP Themed Personal Site Built with React
I geek out on any UI from the 2000s, so I built my personal site to look and feel like Windows XP. Made this two years ago to get better at React.

My goal was to fool my dad into thinking he was actually using Windows XP and it seemed to work.

No mobile version (yet) :(

If you think it's cool you can check out the somewhat outdated code: https://github.com/SohailSayed/winxp-personal-website
I hope on HN that we hold ourselves to a higher standard for “it’s been true from the beginning” than a vague recall of “My son assessed it for a class a few years ago” and not being able to reproduce.
I find it hard to imagine. I hate advertising as much as the next guy - I intentionally try to associate negative thoughts with any adverts that interrupt a video I'm watching (I nearly ordered hellofresh after getting a voucher, but they've interrupted my YouTube experience too many times in the past).

But how do you separate advertising from product recommendations? Would it only apply if the person doing the recommending is getting paid for it?
Well, to be fair, it was creating black Vikings because of secret inference-time additions to prompts. I for one welcome Vikings of all colors if they are not bent on pillage or havoc
This has been on my mind ever since I realized 2 things:

- the difference between zero-sum and positive-sum games

- that large parts of society are engaged in zero- (or even negative-) sum games 1) some through choice or 2) because they are forced to, to be able to compete with group 1)

Advertising, manipulation, misinformation, disinformation, and lying are all related phenomena with negative effects on both individuals and society.

Just like Wales is the first place to propose punishing lying, at least from some positions of power, I am looking forward to whatever country becoming the first to make advertising illegal, at least in some forms and scales.
I definitely agree, and I think we should focus on mitigating the actual bad things while either recognizing or considering that the ads themselves are actually good. It's definitely possible to improve the situation and trying to give up and destroy everything will not help (I don't agree that profit motive is bad though, it's incredible and beautiful as an aligning force for humanity)

The "Experts" in MoE is less like a panel of doctors and more like having different brain regions with interlinked yet specialized functions.

The models get trained largely the same way as non-MoE models, except with specific parts of the model silo'd apart past a certain layer. The shared part of the model, prior to the splitting, is the "router". The router learns how to route as an AI would, so it's basically a black-box in terms of whatever internal structure emerges from this.

Thanks for the feedback! I’ll update the README to clarify these points.

You can view the full Pytest output using the :PytestOutput command. This shows all outputs from failing tests (since Pytest doesn’t display output for passing tests by default).
I also plan to implement support for custom arguments — for example, Pytest's -s flag to show stdout even when tests pass.

If Docker is disabled, all Docker-related features are also disabled.
When Docker Compose is enabled, its configuration takes precedence over the plugin’s direct settings.

The prefix_app setting maps your local directory to the Docker path.
For example, if your current working directory is ~/projects/, and the prefix is app, the Docker path /usr/src/app will map to ~/projects/app.

Docker is responsible only for path mapping and executing the Pytest command inside a running container — the container must already be running.

If you're using Docker Compose, the plugin retrieves the Docker path from the volume configuration.
For example, if your docker-compose.yml contains:

volumes:
- app:/usr/src/app

Then /usr/src/app will be used as the Docker path.
If enable_docker_compose is set to false, the plugin will fall back to the manually configured path instead. (Note: the container itself is not retrieved from Docker Compose at this point.)
> If you run a trade deficit, does that also mean you necessarily have a budgetary deficit?

To balance a trade deficit you need a surplus elsewhere. It'd be nice if that was a budgetary surplus, but it's a capital accounts surplus, better explained in the article.
I think this is an excellent discussion to have.

Say we implement this, a natural consequence would be mega-corporations providing every service possible. My Yamaha bike displays a message to promote a Yamaha music keyboard, then expanding to a new Yamaha bookstore or grocery chain.

No money exchanged out of the first-party Yamaha holding.

We would need to improve the proposal to prevent that too.
I hate intrusive, obnoxious, aggressive advertising - but using media to increase awareness of one’s products and services is a net good to society in a lot of cases.

I’m as anti-advertising as they come and this is too far. There needs to be a more reasoned approach. Banning tv ads, or billboards, or online advertising, or certain practices - fine. A blanket ad ban would do far more harm than good.
Ah, yes, the often used, peer-reviewed, expert-backed source of just listing random things. Thank you.

Isn’t it? You receive money when people buy your product because of your advertising.
If I have 5000 documents about A, and 5000 documents about B, do we know whether it's better to train one large model on all 10,000 documents, or to train 2 different specialist models and then combine them as you describe?
Huh, I would have expected the request for additional registers to be linked into the resource request scoreboarding you see for texture accesses, rt hardware requests, etc. Busy waiting on condition code seems non optimal, and opening the window for cases where one or all shader programs on core can no longer make progress.
Thanks! Really cool idea!

Just tried this thank you. Couple qs - looked like just scout access for now, do you have plans for larger model access? Also, seems like context length is always fairly short with you guys, is that architectural or cost-based decisions?
News would still exist and would not be competing with engagement driven news because there's no engagement=ad views. I wager it would be very helpful to news.

TV would absolutely still exist, given that people pay for it and there is a big industry around ad-free streaming services already.
HD Radio is still (annoyingly) covered by patents in a way that open source efforts like nrsc5 still can't be integrated into any OSS radio tooling for fear of litigation.

And from my own IANAL research, it seems iffy whether the initial set of patents which is expiring soon are the ones that will open it up... or if any of the many follow up set of patents can keep it out of easy reverse-engineered access :(
Yeah! I will. Thanks!
Google was initially incredibly useful because it ranked pages created by people who were largely not motivated by advertising using an algorithm that didn't allow you to pay for placement. Now both the content and the algorithm have been heavily co-opted and so people are turning to 'AI' half technological wonder and half merely just returning to unbiased relevance based responses to user queries. At least until that too starts to replace relevance with paid advertising in its responses and the cycle will start anew.
Contrarily, I love the mini timer, because it’s something to beat. The mini is too easy of a puzzle. The NYT crossword is more for the thinking type - it also has a timer, but its less in your face and I don’t feel the pressure.
Historically, marketing cost was a small fraction of manufacturing cost. Gradually, marketing cost took over in many sectors. STP Oil Treatment was noted in the 1960s for being mostly marketing cost.[1] Marketing cost began to dominate in long-distance telephony, in the era when you could pick your long distance company. Retail Internet access is dominated by marketing cost.

The total amount of consumer products that can be sold is bounded by consumer income. Advertising mostly moves demand around; it doesn't create more demand, at least not in the US where most consumers are spent out.

Think of taxing advertising as multilateral disarmament.
Advertising is an overhead cost imposed on consumers.
If everybody spends less on advertising, products get cheaper.
Tax policy should thus disfavor zero-sum activity.

They do, albeit rather second-rate ones. However, you’re not out of the woods yet. Where do you think their photolithography machines come from?

(Hint: Trump’s just put an extra 20% tariff on it.)
The only thing about this which may be unintuitive from the name is an "Expert" is not something like a sub-llm that's good at math and gets called when you ask a math question. Models like this have layers of networks they run tokens through and each layer is composed of 256 sub-networks, any of which can be selected (or multiple selected and merged in some way) for each layer independently.

So the net result is the same: sets of parameters in the model are specialized and selected for certain inputs. It's just a done a bit deeper in the model than one may assume.

Right, I noticed that too! (especially typing in english, might be different in other languages)

That's why it's totally different to learn about an UX and actually experiment it, we can notice these things.

But, all in all, I think you would probably get used to it long term!

The QWERTY layout was just a fluke, not the super optimized layout we retcon it to be.

Even its designer later designed different layouts! But the particular typewriter it was designed for had a big commercial success, so there was marketing convergence. It's of course wholly unadapted to typing on glass!

> yes manufacturing going overseas was a huge change and many administrations didn’t do enough to help affected workers

Manufacturing didn’t go overseas - it got automated. The US is still the world’s 2nd largest manufacturer, the share of GDP going to manufacturing has been flat since 1950, and so on.

What happened is automation made manufacturing need vastly fewer workers. Nothing is “being jobs back” from a fairy tale reason.
> I'm curious why a library maintainer needs to assert responsibility over session variables at all times

When pooling connections, you need to reset the connection when putting it back in the pool. For example, if you grab a connection from the pool and do:

SET SESSION statement_timeout to '1s';
SET timezone TO 'Europe/London';

…and then release the connection, you don't want the next connection to inherit these settings.

It has nothing to do with the ORM (although the ORM itself may want to set some baseline settings based on config), and everything to do with sharing connections between different parts of a single application.
I didn’t say that, and I even clipped the relevant Wiki article which described the trade-off of law/liberty.
No, it's more like sharding of parameters. There's no understandable distinction between the experts.

I want the opposite. I'm tired of shaving my head + beard and generally just find those hairs annoying to deal with.
yes, and it's on a per-layer basis, I think!

So if the model has 16 transformer layers to go through on a forward pass, and each layer, it gets to pick between 16 different choices, that's like 16^16 possible expert combinations!

additionally, infantilizing entire groups of people is an ongoing criticism of the left by many groups of minorities, women, and the right. which is what you did by assuming it is “punching down”.

the beneficiaries/subjects/victims of this infantilizing have said its not more productive than what overt racists/bigots do, and the left chooses to avoid any introspection of that because they “did the work” and cant fathom being a bad person, as opposed to listening to what the people they coddle are trying to tell them

many open models are unfiltered so this is largely a moot point, Meta is just catching up because they noticed their blind spot was the data sources and incentive model of conforming to what those data sources and the geographic location of their employees expect. Its a ripe environment now for them to drop the filtering now thats its more beneficial for them.
This very much depends on the SQL engine you are talking about - many early sql engines literally compiled stored procedures and didn't allow the dynamism you imply - some still offer such features.

Some SQL engines are more sensitive (due to caching plans in the first place or not) to this problem as well - SQL Server famously utilizes parameter sniffing for performance, which has positive implications of skipping work, and the negative of skipping work you might need to do.

I have mixed feelings about advertising. Small businesses definitely need advertising to at least compete with the bigger guys, but online platforms such as Google and Facebook are simply landlords in the electronics age. Microsoft too, with its "monopoly" of desktop OS and how it tries to force ads down our throats.

I feel it's impossible to get rid of those Ads platforms such as Google or Microsoft. Businesses need them. If you ask me, I'd say, government should levy a heavy tax on Ads , so basically like gas stations, they are only allowed say 10% of profit margin, and they must cap their ads somehow. Ads is basically a public service, and every public service, if not run by the State, should only allow a very small margin of profit, like public transit and such.
And what, refill the instruction cache in less time than it takes to wait for more registers to become available?
No.

Indeed, even many of the devices here could be running on a Pi internally... or are running Linux on some other Arm SoC or a suite of microcontrollers.

One of the new audio processors (full size rack) actually runs a small cluster of CM4s for local audio processing, a remote control system, and something else (can't remember), but the convergence from all these discrete specialized boxes to one or a few general PCs is slow to happen.

Some of that is down to proprietary stuff, but a lot is inertia, and being allergic to less-tested solutions.

The Inovonics box could be replaced by Stereo Tool [1] on a Pi—and indeed it is in some lower budget installs!

A lot of radio engineers are also hams and so are willing to experiment sometimes, especially in lower power stations where the stakes aren't as high. But if you're dealing with one of the "big" stations or ownership that has the IBM mentality (nobody got fired for choosing IBM), they tend to stick to the tried and tested audio chain, with more robust equipment with a long history of support.

It would… go up. Probably not back to normal, because previously the markets were largely assuming that Trump was just bullshitting about tariffs. What can happen once can happen again. For that matter, it is likely that these tariffs are not fully priced in; obviously there is still the chance that Trump turns around and says “only joking” (this pretty much happened with the main Canada and Mexico tariffs a month or so ago), and there is the chance that congress will put him back in his box (his power to do anything with tariffs is entirely within the gift of congress).

> They do not write symbol docs mechanistically. They understand what the code is _doing_.

What the code is doing is important only when you intend to modify it. Normally, what's important is how to use it. That's the whole point of design: Presenting an API that hides how things happens in favor of making it easier (natural) to do something. The documentation should focus on that abstract design and the relation to the API. The concrete implementation rarely matters if you're on the other side of the API.
