I don't really get people that discuss model welfare, but don't seem to have many ethical qualms killing/eating animals. Each day, we kill 202 million chickens, hundreds of millions of fish, 900,000 cows, etc. [1] These anima

I consider, on the contrary, caveating and hedging annoying 'typical redditor'/internet behaviors: they care more about being "technically correct" than conveying the message. On the internet, if you make even the t

There's a fundamental difference between the goal of code and math. The goal of code is to produce software that does something useful. As long as the code does what it's supposed to do, arguably, it's good to ship. (As you i

Research on 5G started ~2012 to be deployed since 2019 (7 years), research on 4G started maybe around 2000 for rollout in 2009 (9 years later). For 6G, research started around 2018 for an expected rollout around 2030 (12 years). These timel

According to the paper, 6G deployment is planned for 2030 and the "earliest plausible" deployment of 7G is listed as 2039-40. You'll have plenty of time to upgrade.

'Hyperscalers' is the term used to refer to the group of companies including Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, etc. The companies with huge data centers basically. I know at least in the telecom sector it is also used to refer to t

Why is anything significant or meaningful? This will always be subjective. Although there is an evolutionary reason why our brain would make our offspring significant to us.

I was looking for the origin of the word "hyperscalers" and found this post. Thought it would be interesting to share with the HN audience.

This is what Word is to most people. They just use the default styles, or their company's template. No special formatting, styling etc. Also if you do want to add a table or a figure, for most people Word will be much easier than doing

To be honest I don't really read insults either in this e-mail or in the thread you linked. If I'm seeing it right, there's only one comment by the guy in that thread, right? That comment is direct and uses language that may

They answer the second question quite clearly in my opinion: It requires only brief one-time physical access, which is realistic in cloud environments, considering, for instance: * Rogue cloud employees; * Datacenter technici

You're twisting their words. For the second question, they clearly answer yes. It depends on the threat model you have in mind. If you are a nation state that is hosting data in a US cloud, and you want to protect yourself from the NSA

It's a bit more fundamental in my opinion. Cryptographic techniques are supported by strong mathematics; while I believe hardware-based techniques will always be vulnerable against a sufficiently advanced hardware-based attack. In theo

When notpushkin said "the spec is still at XSLT 1.0", I think "the spec" is referring to the WHATWG HTML Living Standard spec, which only refers to XSLT 1.0. (It wouldn't make sense to say "the XSLT spec is at

Do you think an AI could come up with novel answers that a human wouldn't be able to come up with? I think humans could not just come up with answers to these questions, but some people would be able to greatly outperform AIs by using

To be frank, if you die, isn't it much more likely your friends and family will just stop using your homelab setup? They'll switch back from Jellyfin to Netflix, replace the smart light bulbs with regular ones, etc.

To give a concrete example, matrix multiplication is not commutative in general (AB ≠ BA), but e.g. multiplication with the identity matrix is (AI = IA). So AIB = ABI ≠ BAI. Or applied to the programming example, the statements: 1. Se

I would say all questions except maybe the first one, are about impact on your personal life: "late into the night", "whenever I have a free moment", "personal hygiene", "personal relationships", etc.

But isn't that the same as saying: what about all the horse carrier drivers who lost their jobs due to cars? What about all the bank tellers we lost after inventing the automated teller machine?

This is what I was going to post. It helped me a lot by first giving a very intuitive understanding of the concept of ZKPs using the Where's Waldo/puffin-among-the-penguins example, but then also going deeper with the graph-colori

Then you do that part yourself. You let AI automate the 20/50/80% (*) of work it can, and you now only need to do the remainder manually. (*) which one of these it is depends on your case. If you're writing a run-of-the-mill
