I see, I'm sorry about that.

Clickbait. It gets me really angry when tomshardware is doing this as well.

Thanks, that clears it up somewhat (especially the trollings and downvotes). The cool thing is nobody cares about your wikipedia page, people care about your contributions. I still think you should hop onto a video chat with Greg and be hum

I don't understand what ,,shoddily wire up'' means. I had to create, maintain and monitor a new service that just to add encryption to my simple web server (actually just to be able to connect to my web server from my browser

I agree. Also as a person who tried to contribute to open source projects, I understand the pressure Jart had to put all his changes into 1 big change instead of splitting it up to pieces: there's always a power asymmetry that favors t

It's really bad reply from Greg. He's the owner of the project, he has the power to accept / not accept changes, and he didn't object to the version change, now he pushes responsibility to the contributors. It's ugl

It's strange that I had to set up Caddy as a proxy just to connect to a nodejs http server, because setting up Caddy was so much easier than setting up https in nodejs. But at least it just works for everything I have thrown to it.

It's not simply just they being dumb, they are also not the firsr choice for premium deals. And I wouldn't put Andreeseen Horowitz a premium VC at this point.

Please don't give advice like this. Everything people publish on hackernews stays online forever and it's not that hard to associate with real people. GPT5 or 6 can just get this data with a simple question in the near future.

So what? If they own property that doesn't have anything to do with the country, it doesn't need maintaining roads and infrastructure (which is the tax is for in theory). Real estate property based taxation has a long history of s

Personally I have seen some tax codes that were written to make using offshore companies mostly unpractical / illegal, but when an offshore lawyer explained to me the loophole and I reread it multiple times, it became clear that it was

Learn languages (Duolingo), change countries depending on your income type, ask ChatGPT, set up companies for yourself. There are lots of ways to do it, and many average people are doing it already in different ways. For example for me just

It's strange to have so much detail about tax evasion without talking about tax avoidance. Just because somebody keeps his money offshore and hides it from his government, doesn't necessary mean that it's illegal (Google and

The main question about OpenAI is this: can you have any better structure to create singularity that will happen anyways (Some people don't like the word AGI, so I just definine it by machines having wastly more intellectual power tha

Maybe because they are more digestible then reality. Reality is much much worse.

As it's a closed model, only comparision with GPT-4 matters, and it's missing.

Now it's clear that there was a bug in the measurement. The author used a machine with lots of RAM, so I guess most of us are still stuck with quantized 13B. Still, the improvement hopefully translates, and I hope that 30B will run wit

Maybe they should do more mmap as well.

Whenever I see interviews with YC advisors, they blame mistakes of founders of not taking their advice as the biggest as mistake. I don't have a strong opinion on this, and I believe YC is worth it, as 7% of nothing is still nothing, s

> Putting physics research on hold to account for such a risk seems a bit silly though, and should definitely be classified as "speculative". I think we have as much choice in putting research into anything (AI / Physics)

How can long term existential risk be ,,speculative'' when we don't know any civilization that survived getting over Type I on Kardashev scale? Right now there is more evidence against surviving the transition than for it.

And for a good reason: the new Restrict act that bans private digital E2E communication in US gives unprecedented level of power to the US government.

I guess it will get more interesting for your work when it integrates with BioTech startup apis as plugins (I imagine not too cheap ones)

Thanks! The worst part of this is all the comments about social networking when this bill is about punishing people who want privacy or end to end encrypted communication on their devices with 1 million dollar fine and 20 years of jail time

I wish I could say that I understand you, but at least what you write is exciting enough for me to read the paper that you linked, as it looks simple enough even for me: https://reader.elsevier.com/reader/sd/pii&#x

One thing that I don't see addressed (and the main problem I had with Haskell) is the predictibility of runtime: if I change a function somewhere to be 2x slower by doing something differently can it have a much bigger than 2x differen

Parallizing all important algorithms are necessary. For you it’s just a time saver, for NVIDIA it’s business and one more thing to add to it’s computational quasi monopoly.

Richard was super sensitive about the power companies have over users with closed source software, and had a great impact on our culture (just look at the controversy over the name OpenAI), but it seems like he's deeply underestimating

You are correct also it's not quicksort as it's not in place array, but needs a lot of memory management
