Google refuses to see through products that do not go supernova like their search did back in the day.

Search/ads give them a business with Pablo Escobar margins. They will never go "legit" with a regular product, they will never have something close to their main cash cow, so why not just stop making DOA products and stick to what they actually want to do?

That will save people a lot of time and money.
So this is always subjective but it can't just be me?

The funny thing is that what makes the touchscreen in the model 3 tolerable is that there are just enough tactile controls on the steering wheels to do the most common things. Then the voice interface, limited though it is, can handle some things as long as you're patient.
This seems to me like the "grounding" (getting documents/data) won't be fed back into the system. It will just be used to verify that output has an actual artifact that is been based on.
You're assuming that the AI assistant will have your own interests as its priority, and not the interests of some other party. If this 'tool' is being supplied by a government or corporation, then it could be used to create a very static hierarchy - imagine some incompetent upper-level bureaucrat using it to discover and sabotage any competent lower-level employees who might eventually present threats to their own position? Germany's STASI would have also used it as a mass-surveillance tool, and China today would use it to generate individual social credit scores.

It does have great promise in an open-source self-hosted incarnation not controlled by external actors, however.
My take was that was always essence of the "dogs smell Terminators" plot element.

Skynet could make Terminators that looked and acted human, but didn't put the effort into making them smell human.

Unlike us, a dog's sensory world is more like 50% smell and 20% vision. Ergo, Terminators seem "obviously wrong" under even a cursory examination to them.
Interesting! How often do these cataclysmic volcanic events take place?

That tells me more about our industry (and the low life, shitty developers who interview you) than you.

Rewind.ai does full time screen recording taking advantage of macos native OCR so you can do full text search of anything that has ever appeared on your screen - i'd expect they're working on throwing a language model on top
This sounds like a B-school idea, not one based on observed reality.

I don't think that's very far.
I think most people who say they "need" AWD really just want AWD. Similarly for all the people who say they "need" trucks.

The author of this post seems to have put their own watermark these images which they did not create or cite? For example I recognize some made by inigo quilez.
It also had a program giving it potential moves it could play, and explained to it when it had won the game. That isn't zero input. We don't have such programs for logic or text. So there will be no GPT zero, at least until we have already solved logic.
Show HN: Visualize OpenAI Evals of GPT-4
OpenAI's new evals library (https://github.com/zeno-ml/zeno-evals) makes it easy to create and run evaluations to find the limitations of GPT-4.

The CLI library just prints out an overall metric after the process has finished, and doesn't give you any insights into what types of outputs and failures GPT-4 produced.

This simple one-line command lets you pass in the log outputs from Open AI evals (https://github.com/openai/evals/) and interactively explore the actual generated data!

Try it out with `pip install zeno-evals`
This appears to be the computing model of the past 20 years, from what I can tell?

There have been no real advancements since the desktop model of the late 1990s. We might have more animations and applications running in virtual machines for security purposes, but literally nothing new has come out.

Even all the web apps are reimplementation of basic desktop capabilities from the decades before, but slower and with more RAM usage. They might be easier to write (I personally don't think so - RAD apps from the 90s were quicker to write and use) but the actual utility hasn't changed; if anything it's just shoving all of your data from your microcomputer to someone else's microcomputer, and being tracked and losing control of said data whilst you're at it!

And we have easier access to videos on the Internet, I guess??

It all seems to be missing the point of actually having a computational device locally. There is no computation going on. It's all digital paper pushing.
Can I somehow see the historical data for some of mine old submits? I seems to me that on https://news.social-protocols.org/ I can get the data for past 24 hours.

In comparison, Microsoft lost billions to get into the console market. I don't see the same drive or commitment from Google. If they had the same red ring of death problem the first xbox had, Google would have cut their losses and jumped ship.
This isn’t “politely decline”, it’s “tell them I failed to do it (or at least spent the suggested amount of time for the task and only got my environment setup) but still want to be considered for the job”.
Maybe the problem is that the model can't count, and just knows that each finger has a 75% chance to have another finger next to it.

Rust and C# is not that different after all. You're gonna have to fight with some more aggressive compile checks than what you're used to, but otherwise it should be relatively smooth sailing.

And Bevy (one Rust game engine) makes it very easy to ignore much of the problems of Rust, as the architecture (ECS) and the implementation Bevy has of it, hides a lot of "warts" that you would have to battle with otherwise.

Bevy makes it really easy to learn Rust, at least that's what I've found when I picked up Rust first.
Show HN: Using Stable Diffusion to generate predictable illustrations
Hey HN,

We are Kirill and Ivan. We've been working together on various projects since 2014, and our latest one is something we're really excited about.

Since October 2022 we've been working on NewArc.ai (https://newarc.ai), a tool that allows creating beautiful illustrations with ease.

When Stable Diffusion was released publicly in September 2020, we played around with it, trying to find the best way to use it in the work of designers and illustrators.

We realised that text-to-image generation in Stable Diffusion was great for inspiration, but not suitable for creating final images because of its creativity. That's why we combined image-to-image generation, ControlNet and the ability to train custom models (Dream Booth, LORA) to create a tool that allows illustrators to define composition, colour, and style to generate images with predictable results.

Today we're releasing the first version of our service for illustrators, and here’s how it works:

1. Upload a sketch to define the composition and colours. It will allow you to generate predictable draft illustrations.

2. Select one of our standard styles or add your very own style. Generate dozens of drafts that match your style, colour, and composition requirements.

3. Choose the best draft illustration that matches your vision, then add the finishing touches in your favourite graphics editor to make it perfect.

So illustrators can say goodbye to tedious work, save time and get more done or enjoy more freedom.

Happy to further discuss details in the comments!
The future Enterprise will be a bunch of bots that email each other ridiculously long emails waffling on about nothing.
One advantage to me is that it’s not Google. So I’m not adding to my profile at Google and I’m not helping them consolidate their advantage.
The fear comes from much deeper. It is the fear of the kernel of reality that doesn't have any form, only function, the profound Lovecraftian fear of a mindless force. Although, some people in the story did worship Cthulhu.

The argument should be about capacity for creation, and to me AI generation just doesn't seem like true creation, but more of a cheap magic trick.
The original was "arewefastyet", to track benchmarks of SpiderMonkey against V8 and JSC. It spread like wildfire and became a bit of an inside joke in Mozilla.
That's amazing. It's like a red flag made out of red flags.
The physics behind Glasses style augmented reality are impossible (or at least 50 years away), so the industry is moving towards MR mixed reality. Bigscreen VR's recent glasses show where things are headed - Micro OLED displays and smaller form factor.

Speculation: Google is consolidating talent and doubling down on an internal VR/MR headset and metaverse to compete with Apple. It will be tethered to a "Puck" that runs android and clips to your belt or is in your pocket. It will be an important moonshot for AI, metaverse, and virtual Office.

It's a pretty major difference. Julia lets you write code that the type system doesn't understand, while in a static functional languages you generally have to explain a decent portion of category theory before someone can start writing code that passes around functions. (For a simple example, what is the type of `+`, and does that type allow you to make Int+Float=Float?)
It's a three part model. The LLM does not know the docs, it gets a modified prompt that includes the context

Nope, you have control over what gets sent. Only the text after the command "please" (and previous commands and variables you've explicitly approved) are sent. You'd have to explicitly type "using my secret x". Your zshell history is not sent. Also, the only server involved is OpenAI's server (there's no Magic Shell server to fear - yet ;) )
I give similar assignments to our candidates. Most of them complete most of the assignment, and we consider that a pass. Some people struggle to get started like this, and to be honest, this is an intentional part of the assignment; they wouldn't be successful at the company. The ability to pick up something up quickly is not something everyone has.
Don't let Usb4 hear you saying that, it'll be mad. USB4 is usb4. Which... very closely resembles thunderbolt. Thunderbolt 4 is PCIe tunneling over USB4.

Note also Display Port now works similarly: instead of switching to an alt-mode (dedicating half the lanes to a video signal), in USB4 Display Port packets are encapsulated in usb4 packets. So now you can attach a variety of displays, to a tree of hubs, provided you have bandwidth, whereas this was a cluster fuck for a while... it's part of the reason usb-c output hubs were so rare, no one wanted to explain to consumers why a couple monitors with usb-c cables wouldn't work with their hub. Now, they will (provided there's sufficient bandwidth).
In Paris, France, Citymapper is very accurate about subway timings, walk timings, which exit to use, ... it's the most precise and efficient transit app available here from my experience.
when I lived in NY / Philly, Citymapper was way ahead of Google maps in terms of transit info.
since moving to live in europe, I haven't had much use for Citymapper.

Be wary of the top answers it will give you. Quite a lot of the top answers will technically be words in English but are essentially completely unused and most people won't even know or understand them.

For instance, today's top words:

Obvert - I know this one but it isn't too common.

Overt - This was my answer, it's not uncommon.

Over - Common

Evo - I've never seen this used as a word other than a name.

Bevor - Apparently this is medieval neck armour. Uncommon.

Ouvert - From ballet according to the internet. Uncommon, although I know it as a French word.

Note this isn't the game's fault, they're all in the scrabble dictionary it's using. These words are only useful if you want to win scrabble, not if you want to speak English.
> should human society settle on the planet

_On_ Venus? That seems unlikely; if anything it'd be _above_ Venus (there's a not-that-absurd argument that sections of Venus's atmosphere are far more hospitable than, say, Mars, and of course this tickles sci-fi writers' love of big airships, so it comes up a lot in fiction).

(Though I assume that even then, the whole surface exploding would be undesirable.)

Someday, I wish I could understand electrical impedance.

I understand DC resistance. After designing and building my own Tube based electric guitar amplifier, I head to learn the relation between DC resistance and current _intimately_.

What I still didn't have a grasp on is the concept of impedance. While I was able to calculate correct values for my guitar amp, I didn't know _why_ I was doing it which is a bit frustrating. For instance, I still don't understand the output transformer that "matches the impedance of the speaker to the output tube". Le sigh.

Deal - but then disabled people won't be automatically considered everyday heroes. Seriously though, I don't think it's that the trope relies on them being disabled but that their appearance is off-putting. So this should be about the ugly trope that is 'The Ugly trope'.

In my experience, companies never bend on their in-house hiring process, so just walk away. No need to explain, unless they ask you to explain, and even then I'm not sure you ought to explain.

Politely say something like "After some reflection, I've decided not to pursue the position at [company]. Thank you very much for the consideration. I wish you the best of luck."
That's not how the labor market, and markets in general, work

Citymapper incorporates transit delays/outages. When I switched from using Google Maps several years ago, they didn't, and I haven't had much of a reason to switch back. Big difference between "based on average times, this is the fastest route" and "based on the latest information, this is the fastest route".

2 "Seasons" of a netflix show is not even 1 season of broadcast... Most Broadcast shows run 20-24 Episodes per Season. Netflix is 10 at the most, some 6 episodes. per "season"

That is part of their problem, and why the cancellations feel even more abrupt and why people do not want to invest time in them. it is hard to tell a compelling story in 6 episodes of TV. So if a netflix series get 2 seasons, 12 Episode. it is just starting... even though to netflix thinks it should have a captive audience. that would just be the midseason of a Broadcast show

Most of the popular shows on broadcast would never had made it to be popular under the netflix model of 1000 shows @ 6 episodes...

the TaxGPT example in the GPT-4 Developer Livestream [1] was powerful. I'm hoping (soon?) for a Microsoft 365 assistant that can do the same trick on ALL your MS cloud data (docs/files/mails/notes...)

Edit : the included "Business Chat" goes in the same direction (on what they call the Microsoft Graph)

Also, there were interesting "coding" examples in the same livestream. So the coming GPT-4 (and 5) integration in the Power Platform [2] could be a game-changer for less technical staff.

I'm not sure what's your point. People that enjoy the act of writing or of painting by hand will still be able to do that.
Absolutely. Google products are not their primary business. These are corporate hobby project that keep the engineering plankton busy.
Yeah, when your cycles are 6 months long that’s about as long as you need to maintain anything, if that. Even 1 quarter might be enough. The effort to promote “Landings not launches” was not particularly successful :/
The hiring process works both ways. In this case they failed and you're time spent prevented a lot of future grief.
What's the situation with running Rust on consoles nowadays? Last I heard it was a non-starter for Playstation development, because Sony decrees which compilers you're allowed to use and they hadn't blessed rustc yet. Even if you did the legwork to add a Playstation target to Rust, using it would be grounds for failing certification.
Just tell them you're not doing it and move on.

If a company is asking you to use your free time before you're hired, that's a red flag for their expectations if you do end up being hired.
We just reset the history yesterday and plan to keep data for about one month for now. In the future, it should definitely be possible to retain a much longer time span.

A lot of folks know this about me, and try to get me to commit to stuff. I'll only commit to the stuff that I plan to complete.

It's interesting how hostile people get, when I mention how important it is to complete stuff. I had a trainer once say "It's really important to know what 'Done' looks like."
> Whether your choice as an individual has a significant effect is another question. But it’s undeniable that one choice is better for the environment than another. As people we can make the better choice or the worse choice. It’s up to us as individuals.

Sure, but such an impoverished "choice" is essentially "do nothing" or "do nothing, with the option of eating tuna". It's basically table-stakes: once you've made the easy choices you have control over, it's time to make difficult choices which involve many people. (I see voting the same way: the first step of political engagement)

> waiting for new inventions and government to save the day

That's a straw man; nobody is saying that's a solution. If you insist on viewing everything through the lens of individual choice, then we can just apply your own reasoning to more impactful choices, e.g. as an individual I can:

- "petition legislatures for stronger fishing regulations" or "don't petition legislatures for stronger fishing regulations"

- "file lawsuits against organisations/individuals breaking regulations" or "don't file lawsuits against organisations/individuals breaking regulations"

- "campaign for representatives with good environmentalism credentials for key posts" or "don't campaign for representatives with good environmentalism credentials for key posts"

- "infiltrate and disrupt environmentally-damaging organisations" or "don't infiltrate and disrupt environmentally-damaging organisations"

- "help organise and spread awareness of collective efforts at systemic change" or "don't help organise and spread awareness of collective efforts at systemic change"

- etc.

These are all individual, personal choices; and are likely more impactful than choosing whether or not to eat fish. Since it's pretty cumbersome to talk about "individually choosing to work alongside other individuals in an effort to support each others' efforts to implement changes that adjust the cost/benefit ratio of the choices of other individuals who may have large impacts on the environment", it's common to abbreviate this using phrases like "collective action" and "systemic change".
