Even one instance is sufficient, right? So, is it ok if one in 15 users see this kind of ad?
If I were to do a performance test, I do not run one request through and claim it is representational. I do a large test and test at 99th percentile. No one claims that since I ran many requests, my tests are invalid.
Will you use electric motor from your previous company magnix?
how do those motors compare to this other YC company h3x that is making electric motors for planes? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26224709
Not this time around! We have selected H3X as our supplier for the motor for our tech demo and have signed an LOI for them to supply motors for our B1900D-HE retrofit aircraft. I would say that magniX has a more mature product and is further along the path to certification and its flown many of the recent and impressive electric aircraft first flights, including our competitor Universal Hydrogen. I'll always have a soft spot for the magni650, but at the end of the day, weight is critical on an aircraft and H3X are showing us a lighter product. We have a good relationship with H3X and have confidence that they will be able to meet the cert criteria in our timelines.
To me, this sounds very similar to the type of over-hyped, exaggerated response when someone criticized cryptocurrencies by saying they don't do anything. The response would be:
-I'm literally drinking a coffee I bought with bit coin right now.
-I was able to send large sums of money to my grandma in another country while paying a fraction of the fees going through banks
-It's a stable store of value for people in volatile countries with unstable currency
-It's an investment available to the small timers, normally only the wealthy have these opportunities
-It lets me pay artists for their art directly and bypass the corrupt middlemen
this is a forum coding so i have no idea what any of that biology mumbo jumbo means, but everything you mentiond about chatgtp is conveniently missing a lot of details.
>write some code, it writes some pretty decent code.
Is it trivial code? Is it code that shows up on the first page of any search engine with the same terms?
>it gives me a summary.
Is it an accurate summary? Is it any better than just reading the first and last section of the report directly?
Dude I'm talking about it being worth 20 bucks a month (which NFTs are not), not the hype cycle nonsense. Just because you don't understand the scientific applications of protein folding, one of the most important problems in biology, doesn't mean that its mumbo jumbo. Ever heard of folding at home? Man is silicon valley ridiculous sometimes, but since apparently the accomplishments of coders don't count on this coding forum if they're in fields that web developers don't understand let's focus on consumer applications.
In terms of writing code, yeah it's pretty simple code. I'm paying 20 bucks a month not 200k a year. I've found it really useful to dive into open source code bases for papers (just upload the repo and associated paper) - academics write pretty garbage code and even worse documentation. It's able to easily and correcttly extend modules, explain weird uncommented and untyped code (what exactly is xyz data structure? Oh it's a tensor with shape blah where each dimension represents abc value. Great saved me 2 hours of work).
For the summaries - uhh yeah obviously the summaries are accurate and better than reading the first and last sections. Spend the 20 bucks and try it yourself or borrow someone else's account or something. Especially useful if you're dealing with nature papers and similar from journals that refuse to give proper respect for the methods section and shove all the information in a random way into supplementary info. Make a knowledgebase on both and ask it to connect the dots, saves plenty of time. I don't give a damn about the flowery abstract in the first part of the report and the tryhard conclusion in the last part of the report, I want the details.
It's comical that these useless hype bros can convince folks that a genuine computational breakthrough and a pretty solid 20 dollar a month consumer product with actual users must be bunk because the bros are shilling it, but luckily the baker lab doesn't seem to care. Can't wait to play around with all atom so I don't have to model a zinc atom with a guide potential and can just model the heteroatom directly in the functional motif instead! Not sure it'll work for the use case I have in mind until I try it out and print a gene or two of course but I'm glad folks are building these tools to make life easier and let me engineer proteins that were out of budget 3 years ago.
I think there is a consensus that developing AGI is the most important thing for the continued existence of human civilization. And we know a chair or table will not stand with just two legs. In fact some believe the USA grew into the most prosperous and powerful country because its founder were wise enough to design the government with three branches, each with their own powers and checks and balances between them.
We have seen that Ilya and Sam can not work together on their own. With only two natural leaders, there is no way to solve any dispute, as voting would lead to a stalemate. I believe Elon has a lot to bring to the table here, he nearly perfectly fills in the deficiencies of the other two - Elon has a strong grounding in ethics and morals (consider how many of his ventures post Paypal have been to truly benefit human society rather than just make money) which I feel could rein in Sam's tendency to ruthlessly pursue profit with questionable morality - see WorldCoin. Additionally, I think his real world experience could counter-balance some of the naivete we've seen with Ilya since his rather sudden entrance into the spotlight.
I truly hope the right people consider this and can convince Elon to step up and fulfill what may be considered his true potential.
Seems strange to me Elon would prioritize Twitter over the greatest threat/opportunity in humanity of AGI to Microsoft. Seems a bit Capt. Obvious, maybe he can get Ilya.
"Replying to Nadella's post, Musk then wrote, “Now they will have to use Teams!"
Dude, teach me. Forget solar panels, if you can explain how you're living on ~1/10th the power of the typical home around here I'd power my house on a hamster wheel.
No, more seriously: we started off by pulling all the breakers and to go 'from scratch', then every time I re-connected a breaker I monitored the increase in power draw. This took a bit of time but after a while we figured out there were a number of really bad consumers: my PC (which had a very high end graphics card in it from a machine learning project a couple of years ago), the NAS (which had 12 bays), an older fridge (though I thought it was quite energy efficient, but this really wasn't the case), a water heater hidden under the kitchen cupboards (that one took forever to track down), some smaller loads but still considerable (a couple of studio monitors, game computer that was on standby when not in use, a large studio mixer, a massive pump for the infloor heat that worked just as well (or even better) with the lowest setting as the one that it was on) and then a large number of really small loads that were always on but rarely needed.
Removing all of those saved us 2/3rds of our power draw, we went from 30 to 35 KWh to around 8 to 10 KWh / day. After that it was relatively easy to get to '0' using solar panels and another batch of them and we were suddenly offsetting our gas usage with surplus electricity (which the power company buys).

Thanks for this. I'm averaging a kw in a small house and don't understand where it's going. When we put in a hot tub, it only raised the monthly bill about 10% (it's worth that). Gas heat, gas water heater and stove. Most lights are LED at this point. Using laptops, no big graphics machines.
I need to do what you did, though I was thinking about hacking up a clip-on ammeter and some monitoring software to examine the various breaker branches.
Oh, as for laptop: I ended up buying a second hand W540 which is pretty beefy when you want it to be but normally it sips power (about 29 watts continuous draw, the screen is off because I have two external monitors connected). Oh, and about those monitors: I've reduced the backlight intensity from the default quite a bit and that made a real difference as well (besides the usual power saving and desktop lock settings).
> I was thinking about hacking up a clip-on ammeter
The easiest spot is right on the distribution wires, they usually are pretty beefy and that means you don't have to re-hang your meter after every breaker. They're also very well insulated so the chances of shorting something out diminish a lot (but if you do the effects will be far more spectacular ;) ).
In the end I installed a 'Shelly' three phase current meter permanently with the pickups around the mains wires. That gave me very precise logging (and given that the distribution board passes those three wires roughly balanced out across the breakers it is already quite fine grained). It also allows you to spot intermittent consumers and for the money I wished I had installed it earlier during my hunt.
Not really, you have an option to exclude your content from being indexed by Google (robots.txt).
I don't care as much about Google losing money because of ad-blockers, they have plenty of money going around. The real people losing here are the ones who are creating the content. As it is they need to amass a large number of views to earn few dollars from a video. Depending on the type of content, a lot of time, money and effort goes into creating each of those videos.
People who aren't familiar with the Sokal affair may miss the critical point that word salad was the author's whole intent, to expose the problem.
'a demonstrative scholarly hoax performed by Alan Sokal...to test the journal's intellectual rigor, specifically to investigate whether "a leading North American journal of cultural studies...[would] publish an article liberally salted with nonsense if (a) it sounded good and (b) it flattered the editors' ideological preconceptions."
'The article, "Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity",[3] was published in the journal's spring/summer 1996 "Science Wars" issue. It proposed that quantum gravity is a social and linguistic construct. The journal did not practice academic peer review and it did not submit the article for outside expert review by a physicist.'
IMHO it is the most amazing academic comeuppance in history.
Edit: See the author's great book: Sokal, Alan; Bricmont, Jean (1998), Fashionable Nonsense: Postmodern Intellectuals' Abuse of Science (1st ed.), New York: Picador USA, ISBN 0-312-19545-1
But they also weren't treating it like a normal paper, and the lack of peer review is part of that.
More importantly, that being the big example, decades later, helps show just how rare something like that is for major conferences and journals.
An estimate of it happening 1% of the time would be much too high, but even if 1% was accurate it would still mean that endorsements are quite convincing.
I get that you can monitor phase shift in a signal, if you have knowledge of what the reference is.
If I expect a 1kHz sine wave, and you transmit a signal that sounds imperceptibly no different than a pure 1khz sine wave (to a human ear), you could be encoding data in a signal that actually varies over time between 998hz and 1002 hz which could be extracted with DSP.
But, how would I extract a phase shift from an arbitrary novel music, for example [0], where I don't know what the expected reference is?
Music tones are based on the tuning standard 440 hz and factors from there, that is your reference point. The next tone above and below is so far away that you can make slight alterations and detect how far away from the standard it is by just measuring a single tone.
I believe (but could be wrong) that's only true for western music, tuned to 440hz as an "A" with 12 steps between octaves. Eastern music for example, with stringed instruments without frets, like Sitar for example, sounds very different and I believe its because they don't follow that practice. Highlighting that was my intent between linking a particular piece of music thats well outside the mainstream top 40. (alternatively, consider my tone-deaf self in middle school trying to tune my euphonium by adjusting the slide randomly and pretending i could hear a difference)
If you generate the music yourself you can tune it any way you like. Using 440 hz as the basis lets you still do any kind of music, people wouldn't notice the difference since you mostly hear how it changes and not absolute pitch.
> Sitar for example, sounds very different and I believe its because they don't follow that practice
They still follow the same practice, maybe they don't center it on 440hz but the concept of tones and how far the steps between them are is the same all over the world, they just use different scales.
Off the top of my head, I'd likely try to embed a reference tone. If I couldn't do that imperceptibly I'd then look at what a discontinuous but small phase shift would look like. That would had harmonics and again, it would be a question of how perceptible were the harmonics.
I'm honestly not familiar with audio compression. But if its very low amplitude reference tone, isn't that the sort of thing that would get removed during compression? and if its large amplitude wouldn't it become a matter of "AI music always has a [low|high pitch] hum in the background?
