Yes, it's the ads. After all, we know how economical and fast it is for people to access healthy meals. I look forward to the speedy eradication of all obesity problems

"We are not influenced by any foreign government, including the Chinese government."

It is laughable to suggest that the basis for this ruling is anything less than fear and paranoia about Chinese government softpower. Nothing they could have said, and no fact they could bring to bear, would change the outcome of the court, which has been predetermined, for better or worse, by the current American political climate.

you do not think there are legitimate hedges which can be made with events trading on prediction markets?

I think, indeed, a lot of people are effectively using the markets to gamble, but the same can be said for equities/futures.

I see no reason they shouldn't be allowed, since there are proxies that people can trade as well

I think most modern Python codebases are using dataclasses/ something like Pydantic. I think dicts are mostly seen, like the author suggests, because something which you hacked up to work quickly ends up turning into actual software and it's too much work refactor the types

Meta is already a target for regulators - they are going to have to be very careful around this. I think this is why the "metaverse" is still more likely to be decentralized than created by a tech giant. Even if Meta wanted to take a libertarian, "dream whatever you want", stance or even a "dream whatever you want so long as it is more or less legal" stance, they would see a regulatory deluge come pouring down on them. There is no way VR will be able to go mainstream without a drawn out fight over content prohibitions. I think the early internet was a bit of a historical outlier in this sense, where it happened to come about when a relatively laissez-faire attitude towards censorship was prevailing and people did not realize the full impact it would have. That is not the case now. People understand on all sides that this technology has the potential to revolutionize our systems of social relations once again, and I suspect that they will be fighting tooth and nail to shape that outcome as they most desire.

You do not need to know how `useState` works to understand how to use it to write a React application, it is fairly intuitive to understand how to apply the pattern.

If I look at your library, it seems to me like it requires a much more complex mental model to begin to use.

Of course, it is better in theory for a developer to thoroughly understand the details of their framework, but empirically, React has been very successful in allowing people to build relatively sophisticated applications while understanding very little of the underlying model.

It's a great tool, but no one is going to want to pay $10/mo for it.

You will get a better ROI if you replace the pricing with a link to your socials/ website.

New comment by jsyang00 in "Intel has officially entered the grin and bear it phase of its recovery"

jsyang00 — Sun, 22 Sep 2024 13:58:50 +0000

You want to fund a new American semiconductor manufacturer from scratch?

Management and culture problems will always be endemic in large companies. There is no company with 50k+ employees that does not have serious inefficiencies. Intel has not performed nearly as well as it "should" have, but it's not exactly on its deathbed either.

Intel has a lot of options available to it. It also has a lot of smart people. It would be a good thing for everyone if Intel were to find a way to succeed more, and I think in the long run it eventually will.

Most companies which required billions in startup capital were engineered out of larger established organizations. Or they evolve naturally - nobody set out to build any of the top 3 cloud hyperscalers as they exist today.

How many niche verticals SaaSes that raised like $200 million only to go to zero? Even if this can't beat OpenAI models a commodity LLM which is about as good (and they have proven that they can build) is probably worth close to the investment

Ask HN: Learning Model Inference Infra

jsyang00 — Sat, 31 Aug 2024 00:07:32 +0000

I have seen a lot of papers and such on ways to optimize serving (usually language) AI models. Is this a space that is approachable to learn for people who are not interested in becoming experts on the actual foundation model architectures? If so, is there much beyond papers to learn from at this point - and do you see this becoming a subfield (similar to e.g graph database systems) that people will be a source of domain experts in the future?

Amazon Meta or Google should please create and maintain a corporate fork. The performance fixes could happen faster and would probably pay for themselves. No more problems with issues like this. Would provide some people with good jobs.
