This was in a single repo, but the problem is the same: There is an impedence mismatch between SQL queries and typical RPC APIs such that it becomes decidedly non-trivial to represent every possible arbitrary query "shape" that might occur in a report.

Picture the kind of queries that might be generated by something like an embedded Crystal Report or a Power BI report web control. You can get all sorts of group-by operators, top-n sorts, sums, min/max/avg, etc...

Webpages also have the ability to capture far more data about who is viewing the ad, with the use of tracking cookies, browser fingerprinting etc..
This is good feedback. Is there a single resource you would recommend for someone somewhat interested in game design?
I agree. We don’t need to discuss the boundaries of competition. I was responding to GP saying they have NEVER seen competition work, which is simple ignorance.
well you don't. but the power of gradient descent if properly managed will split them up for you. But you might get more mileage out of like 200 specialist models.
Yeah, I too am looking forward to their small text only models at 3B and 1B.
This doesn't scale, and opens up legal liability to unfair hiring accusations.
What MCP (Model Context Protocol) Means for Businesses
> Improved performance across every dimension we’ve tested, which we attribute to six improvements to the Hatchet architecture: range-based partitioning of time series tables, hash-based partitioning of task events (for updating task statuses), separating our monitoring tables from our queue, buffered reads and writes, switching all high-volume tables to use identity columns, and aggressive use of Postgres triggers.

Amazing what you can do when you read the manual, eh?

Seriously though, that’s awesome, and I’m very happy to see someone leaning hard into RDBMS features like triggers instead of shying away.
To clarify, you're still gonna want enough RAM for the entire model plus context. Scout being 109B params means 64GB at q4, but then your context and other applications will have about 9GB left to work with.
> If you define it conservatively, then advertising will skirt through the loopholes.

This would result in a better world still, without the authoritarian system you describe. No need to get it perfect the first try, just start small.

For an example of this in action, drive through any of the US states that do not allow billboards.

I guess a 10 minute delay for content delivery is fine for most cases - shouldn't be the biggest issue, right?
Neat prototype. While the key layout is unfamiliar, I could definitely get used to this. The layout reminds me of old cell phone typing, where each number had a set of letters associated with it and you had to press multiple times to get the letter you wanted. I wonder if testers at the time got confused trying to type like that.
320x480 screen meant normal web pages wouldn't display properly

I’m not sure what you mean by that. The whole point of the demo was it rendered the New York Times website just as it rendered in desktop Safari. In contrast to, say, Windows Mobile which would butcher the rendering. If the touch targets were too small, well, through the wonders of multitouch, pinch to zoom in.

the web was unusable because it required rewriting every page since existing pages were unusable

You’re remembering a much different iPhone than I am. Are you sure not confusing it with WinMo 5/6? Because then we’d be in some agreement.

> I say it sounds like their laws are captured by the pachinko industry.

It wasn't just the pachinko industry that tied the hands of Japanese government. It was the people too. It's a lot harder to ban something and keep it banned when everybody wants it. Thankfully, not many people want ads, but pachinko was popular enough that it makes sense to continue to let people do it. You're right about still getting a benefit. Even after carving out exceptions, banning gambling broadly otherwise is effective enough to solve a lot of the problems that unregulated gambling can cause.

I do think video game loot boxes are something that needs regulation. Not just because it is gambling, but because the games can be unfair and even adversarial. Casinos exploit and encourage adult gambling addicts but at least those games are required to be "fair" (no outright cheating) and they have to be honest about how unfair the odds against you are. A supposedly impartial third party goes around making sure casinos are following the rules. Video games don't have any of that and they're targeting children on top of it.
What do I propose? FFS, I don't trust neither the leftist populists using sexism hysteria for its own profit nor the right wing 'everyone to the left it's either a Stalinist/Marxist/Terrorist'... for their own profit, too while they do tons of money laundering.

So, get these lobbies out there right now.
I literally went back to the oldest model I could access and hand verified that in fact it does what I described, which is lecture you if you don't like unions and goes sweetly along if you do like unions. I feel this is a fair and reasonably well researched existence proof for a Saturday afternoon, and propose that it might be on you to find counter examples.
One would never reach zero. And it would be challenging both to define and police laws against advertising. But to get to a world with drastically less advertisements than today seems doable.
I was under the impression that steam release was equally about the mouse based ui overhaul, was that also available through mods?
"This is something that I still struggle to wrap my head around: if a company is paying X$ for advertisement, it means that people subjected to this advertisement will give Y$ to this company that they would not have paid otherwise"

You seem to be assuming that, in the absence of advertising, the company will sell as much as it did before -- just with lower overhead costs -- rather than advertising driving more sales and possibly lowering costs because the company has more customers. For some items / things this may be true-ish. I'm going to buy paper towels because I need paper towels, and advertising has little influence on that -- except, maybe, which brand I buy. But I'm going to spill things, and my cats are going to keep barfing on the floor from time to time, so I'm going to need paper towels regardless. And I'm not going to buy a bunch of extra ones just because the ads are so good.

Don't get me started on soda advertising and such because the amount of money those companies spend on ads is mind-boggling and I don't think it moves the needle very much when it comes to Coke vs. Pepsi...

But, would I go see a movie without ads to promote it? Would I buy that t-shirt with a funny design if I didn't see it on a web site? Sign up for a SaaS offering if I don't see an ad for it somewhere?

If a SaaS lands 20% more customers because ads (and other forms of marketing) that's not necessarily going to mean I pay more for the SaaS because ads. It may very well mean that the prices stay lower because many of their costs are fixed and if they have 20% more paying customers, they can charge less to be competitive. If a publication has more subscribers because it advertises, it may not have to raise rates to stay / be profitable.

In some cases you may be correct -- landing customers via ads equals X% of my costs, so my prices reflect that. But it's not necessarily true.
I agree with that. But that’s different than saying “NASA's budget has been cut so back over the years.” The military budget has been shrinking as a share of GDP since the 1980s as well. It would be odd to say the military budget had been cut back though.
It's a solid idea, and could even fall under 'anti-spam laws' with some additional clauses. There should be a daily or monthly limit on the max number of people that a person or entity can contact or send unsolicited content to... Maybe like 100 people per day on average. That's more than enough for anyone to make a living as a sales person.

Big tech has been mass-spamming us with unsolicited content for decades and driving monopolization, centralizing opportunities towards those who can talk the talk and away from those who can walk the walk. So we've been getting lower value for our money and also losing jobs/opportunities which has made it harder to earn money.

It's crazy that big tech is allowed to spam hundreds of millions of people with unsolicited content but if any individual did it on the same scale, they'd be in jail.

I browsed the first web site (https://line-mode.cern.ch/www/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html) while at CERN in 1992.

I found it cool and then moved to something else. There are times I wonder why I was not more excited and I think it was because I could not see the potential if it goes worldwide. It did not seem "revolutionary" compared to other things you could see in terminals.

This is cool! Thanks for building it and sharing it. I think phone keyboards are simultaneously amazing that they work at all and also still need huge improvements. There was a moment in the early mobile app explosion where we had some cool experimental keyboards but they mostly fizzled out, were acquired and shut down, or didn't reach their potential (looking at you, keymunk). I still think about this space all the time but, like password managers, it requires such a vast amount of trust I think it's a hard business to get into.

Was hoping the LLM boom would help us get sane autocorrect to help bridge the gap but so far that hasn't happened either.
Great stuff lol
> Except that shows aren't products, they're services, so they'd be exempt from this proposal.

What does that mean? What's a service in this definition? Surely not in the normal definition of a "service", as in health care or tech? Like is a movie a service too?

Or do you just mean something you get for free because it's a show on their own channel? What if you had to pay for shows ala carte?
The power loss is due to the fact that the power source is plutonium. Which decays over time. So, your lump of plutonium contains less and less plutonium over time, and thus generates less power. A more modern generator doesn't really change this basic fact; the power source would still likely be plutonium, and would have the same issue. But yes, you could send up a larger lump of plutonium so that your power budget started out larger and would remain adequate for a longer time.

> Experience and training makes you better at things. What can I say.

The orange has a degree in economics by the way (from a ivy league uni too). So you could say he has both the credentials, the experience and the training. You could even... dare I say... call him an expert.

Or you could just accept the obvious - any barely functioning middling brain can get credentials and become an "expert". And that they do. It is neither a competency nor an intellect filter.

Neither is there personal responsibility or real liability if they are wrong about their economic and other policies that lead to ruin (endless list of examples of this in past). Seen any heads on the pike lately? Yeah, me neither.

Nor are there incentives in place to think what's in other "common" peoples best interests. So why would they?

There's a long line of "expert economists", Paul Krugman among others who advocated for free-trade policies that directly led to nikefication, deindustrialization of US. Now they are nowhere to be seen to take the credit, woops!

The presumption that the credentialed ("expert") knows (or even cares frankly) what's in other common peoples best interest is completely baseless and extremely naive.

The credentialed "experts" being so incompetent and confidently wrong is what gave you the orange. Now orange is the "expert"! And you better listen!
> Sao Paulo, Brazil, made outdoor advertising illegal. That worked out quite well.

it was just a gimmick in the end. yeah the city is cleaner, but i doubt there's even the slightest difference in sports betting in sao paulo vs places with outdoors, for example.

...and did the us forbid prescription drugs ads? thats literally all i see on daytime tv.
Exchange of value.

Websites tend to be okay with it because they accrue a benefit of Google’s crawling - they get traffic back. When websites don’t feel that Google keeps the traffic for themselves, websites tend to get upset https://www.theregister.com/2020/03/11/yelp_congress_google/

LLM training just takes and keeps all benefit to themselves. Wikipedia (or news site) get no traffic or anything back in return.

> that will give other nations an economic advantage and jeopardizing long-term sovereignty.

What? How? Advertising isn't a good or service. About the only way I could see it economically being damaging is if you subscribe to the "broken windows" theory of economics.
Yeah i had the same vibes and could definitely see a refined version of that being very quick to type on
Ok. I'm still awaiting to hear how it's currently a situation of terrible crisis that the US would not want to sink to.

If there are any crises in my UK news, they're in the Ukraine, Israel, USA, and perhaps Greenland & Canada by extension. To the extent there's crisis in the UK that I'm aware of, it's the same USA-inflicted event that the rest of the world's dealing with too.
Parent's point about ad being close to propaganda is key: people getting advertised at are often not the ones with the money.

For newspapers for instance, Exxon or Shell could be paying a lot more to have their brand painted in favorable light than the amount the newspaper readership could afford to pay in aggregate.

The same way Coca Cola's budget for advertising greenness is not matched by how many more sales they're expecting to make from these ads in any specific medium, but how much the company's bottling policy has to lose if public opinion changed too much. That's basically lobbying money.

I had just paid for SoftRAM but happy nonetheless to see new distilled models. Nice work Meta.
Oh yeah that trade can be positive sum is a given.

And that most trade is generally positive sum is also a quite reasonable take that we seem to share.

That said, even if a trade is positive for both parties, the surplus/profit of a trade might not be (and mathematically almost never is) 50/50.

In the example outlined 1B wheat for 1 computer chip might be positive for both countries, but everyone would agree that the exporter of 1 chip is getting the better end of the positive sum trade.
Pleasant and responsive lightweight design, but the game itself just has no difficulty to it.

There's no "RAG trickery" or vector search. They changed the way they encode positions such that in theory they're less sensitive to where the token appears in the string.

That's similar to how previous long-context models worked as well, although the earlier iterations didn't work particularly well, as most have noticed; technically the model "worked" with longer contexts, but it would definitely get dumber. Still too early to tell how this newer variant works, although I'd assume it's at least somewhat better.
Show HN: I built cartoon avatar maker app
Hello guys, zura here, developer of the app, i made this app in a day, literally, launched the day after and surprisingly as a noname developer, ( i got 20 followers on X tho ) i got 100 + downloads on first 24 hours, since it was in trend i decide to join it and create my own version.

Thanks!!
Pens I would say are significantly more complex than pencils. Props to china for that.
Firing people, closing offices and generally making access frustrating effectively destroys the service without destroying the service, which would require many legislators to face the wrath of voters.

Think of these assaults on services as sabotage from within. Money saved is for a trillion in tax cuts for billionaires and to lead to privatization of government, likely by billionaires such as Musk, Ellison, Bezos and friends. Those two goals are paramount.
This is sort of true in theory, but in practice there's a major difference in that nearly all the libraries in Swift use a reference-counted (i.e. GC'd) shared-everything model, while in Rust nearly all the libraries use ownership and borrowing. The "normal path" of least friction in Swift is a reference-counted world, while the "normal path" in Rust is the ownership-and-borrowing world.

This is not a knock on Swift--it's really the inevitable outcome of seamless compatibility with the COM-like model of Objective-C and Core Foundation being a guiding principle of the language.

Oh my bad!
Instead of trying to make sense of the formula, it's much more likely the administration needed a global 30% and then they made up the formula (and the constants, etc) to get to that number.

Anyone who's trying to make arguments based on the formula itself is the dog being wagged.
The US was not an export-focused economy in the 50s and 60s. In fact trade as a percent of GDP bottomed out in those decades. Arguing that the prosperity for the average person was only "sustainable" in an environment where there wasn't foreign competition is an argument for tariffs.

If that's what he said, I'd be happy, but I was more concerned about this:

> His belief is so strong that, at a conference last year, he advised young developers, "Don't work on LLMs. [These models are] in the hands of large companies, there's nothing you can bring to the table. You should work on next-gen AI systems that lift the limitations of LLMs."

It's ok to say that we'll need to scale other mountains, but I'm concerned that the "Don't" there would push people away from the engineering that would give them the relevant inspiration.

I'm running FreeBSD but I'm not exactly waiting for this to be included there, especially the way it was done on Linux (as the only option without any fallback)

What I like about FreeBSD is the rc.local idea which is a bit like Nix.
How are you going to define advertising? Does the proposal include making it illegal to tell friends how happy you are with $PRODUCT from $COMPANY - which made a truly good product and had good customer support, and deserves to have the word spread?

Is it advertising if you say it in conversation? What about on your blog?
Feeding people lines about what “they need” or what their neighbors might be doing is manipulative. All advertising attempts to be manipulative, IMO.

But, I’ll play along for a moment: If trying to convince people they need something that oftentimes they simply don’t isn’t manipulation, then what is it? It isn’t simply informative because it’s attempting to change one’s mind.
So we want the government to decide what is advertising and propaganda? Is telling people about the wrongs of government propaganda? Is going door to door about have you made Jesus the head of your life propaganda?
> I wish this project well. I hope it improves compatibility with BSDs for more projects.

I don't think BSD compatibility is held back by its init system. It's more drivers that are the issue.
Candidate endorsements (and political advertising in general) are core political speech. You can't outlaw it in the US.
