It's not surprising since these are all reasoning models now. Token sampling/decoding isn't exposed because the reasoning models are trained around specific configurations. That's why it's been replaced with "reasoning effort" instead (low, medium, high "thinking" levels).
> ROSA is 20 percent lighter (with a mass of 325 kg (717 lb))[3] and one-fourth the volume of rigid panel arrays with the same performance.
And that’s not the current cutting edge in solar panels either. A company can take more risks with technology choices and iterate faster (get current state-of-the-art solar to be usable in space).
The bet they’re making is on their own engineering progress, like they did with rockets, not on sticking together pieces used on the ISS today.
The memory layout can be better this way depending on how the fields of a strict are laid out. It also gives the data better locality.
Let's say you're iterating over position coordinates of some set of objects in a game. With an array-of-structs you can lose ou on cache locality if unrelated fields are nearby. If you use a struct-of-arrays you get cache locality advantages anytime you do something like "iterate over this 1 field for each object"
There are also other ways to get these returns outside of DeFi, like by staking ETH, selling covered calls, or various other strategies on centralized services
I don't know what happens behind the scenes at Celsius.
I do know there are many ways to get those high ROIs in DeFi.
With zero evidence suggesting they are lying about returns, the charitable guess I can make is that they are getting high DeFi returns and giving their customers slightly lower ones after taking a cut.
I'm not a fan or user of Celsius, but this is an incredibly inflammatory title with very little evidence to back it up. Claims like that demand greater proof. This is an incredibly lazy article
The author pretty much failed to do any research on DeFi investments (point 3 in the OP). Compound and Aave are just 2 of many places investors place their assets, and are definitely near the lower end of APYs. Badger, which Celsius has already said they used, offers much higher returns. So do other projects like e.g. Convex Finance.
Where do these high APYs come from? Well a lot of it is coming from incentives of these protocols and speculation in those native assets. But the author doesn't even know that, so I won't bother steelmanning his argument
A large proportion of readers on HN are also quite lucky in similar ways to OP and can make this work. This lifestyle also requires less luck now with remote work having taken off big time.
It seems silly but makes reading chess books and analyzing games much easier. The first time I played with the vision tool for 20 minutes I felt way faster at it already.
You could probably use a low Japanese table for this pretty well.
I think a combination of positions is probably best to get variety in muscles you're using. Reminds me of a theory I heard that hard-backed chairs are actually better because they make you fidget and readjust your body, versus using the soft chair as an external spine
Yes, that is the main argument and I agree with it. But bundling it with EA is just inaccurate.
Longtermism seems to me like one of many deadends that utilitarianism takes you down if you embrace it and only it as your moral theory.
A little bit of utilitarian thinking can be fine when you have another theory to tell you the "why". That's why I don't have any problems with EA which is usually quite concrete
> Hence, they point out that focusing on superintelligence gets you a way bigger bang for your buck than, say, preventing people who exist right now from contracting malaria by distributing mosquito nets.
This comment and others in the article seem to be making a (bad) case that Effective Altruists don't care about the Global South. I find this bizarre because all EA enthusiasts I know are very much into mosquito net altruism.
You don't have to be on exactly 24/7. The default delay for spending coins from a commitment txn is 144 blocks in some clients and is usually scaled with channel size. Most clients let you configure it manually too.
That means you'd have to be online once within 24 hours of your counterparty trying to steal your channel balance to stop them. IMO this is pretty reasonable for a cellphone user.
It doesn't follow that this would lead to centralization of custody either. If you want to pay for better liveness you could pay someone to run a watchtower to watch your channels. Basically, it watches the blockchain for bad channel closes and posts the justice txn with the correct settlement for you in case it sees it. I'd be surprised if a service like LN_Strike didn't start using these.
Lightning does work. I've used it myself as have many others. You should really work on explaining what it is you actually mean by that statement instead.
Apparently they are using Lightning and a service LN Strike that recently launched.
This is a really myopic view on uses of crypto and the BitTorrent protocol. There's so much more going on than criminal applications.
BitTorrent is used in a lot of settings for data distribution and for software distribution. Saying it's just for pirating reveals the author's laziness. Several of these use-cases are listed in the wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent
As for crypto, I recommend people read about Bitcoin being used for the purposes of sending remittances to start.
"It is completely unambiguously obvious to me that" the author is an intellectually lazy rube who recycles tired old arguments. Anyone who talks about "China-based" miners hasn't done their research on the actual hashrate distribution today. That's a talking point from like 2015.
What the author misses, and what many on HN miss, is that technical expertise does not translate into financial/economic expertise. You may grok Bitcoin on the CS level and still totally misunderstand the economics.
