Oh, finally I found an element of distinguation for the Iphone:

The zoom settings in the display/brightness section of the iphone seem quite relevant for fingerprint.com algorithm.

Toggling between standard/bigger text toggles the fingerprint value.

This could be because the visible area in the screen size changes, as well as some value of the CSS-fingerprint.

Your assessment of nuclear power is completely wrong. Nuclear is the cheapest, most sustainable and widely supported source of clean electricity. Even in Germany more people support nuclear power than oppose it.
In the Cold War, the U.S. built--with public funds--a series of heavy forging and extrusion presses [1].

I propose either a Heavy Press analog for AI. This could be as simple as tradable vouchers for compute time given to every American every year, vouchers which could be redeemed at any of the major cloud providers for one's own use or traded to a start-up or researcher. In exchange for using vouchers, your model has to be made semi-public (e.g. to other researchers, or through a secure channel to hinder foreign access)

And this nicely shows how LLMs don't do a good job yet of answering questions accurately. It's Scottish. No wait, it's Irish. Oh, wait it was used in Wales. Read the Wikipedia article to see where it got this mish-mash from.
That I can relate to, but the more immediate question is whether you are willing to adjust your habits to nullify its impact. Most people would not.
I have similar thoughts, and wrote an article called "death of reality"[0] (a bit dramatic I know). More and more of our identity is on the cyber space however all the tools allow more and more fakeness so we just make our own "digital persona", I don't think people are talking about this or noticing it enough. The last straw was with Samsung, unbelievable.

If one side gains a major advantage they may decide to attack knowing that you'll have the worst of it. The weaker side may be more likely to use thier ultimate out of desperation and "nothing left to lose" type thinking.

The US is already at a significant disadvantage. Russia's nuke-based nuclear interceptor missiles are an order of magnitude more effective than America's explosive and kinetic-based interceptors.

Somehow I'll miss you Google. I'll miss the simpler times. You were a fine search engine and gmail was pretty great too, at the time. I was really excited to get an invite. Good memories.

We'll always remember you. Well.. not always, but for some time to come. Rest in peace.
Hyrum’s law. Rust mostly gets around this by requiring you run the nightly compiler and library in addition to explicitly opting into experimental pieces.

cushman and code-davinci are similar for sure (same architecture). Perhaps that's what they meant.
Another great post! I’m already subscribed to the newsletter and getting to know these relatively unknown Japanese products is super interesting.
Uh, Google frequently only released products for the US market, e.g. Google Home, Google Voice, Chromecast, and others were released US only (sometimes for over a year before available outside of the US).
I’d think regulation would apply to Microsoft as well - don’t think that’s the reason for such a limited release.
It's self-evident because it's self-evident. Please don't say incorrect statements like the ones you just made. The fact that startup culture is bad isn't in dispute.
Try to build your house for 50K and you will see where the extra cost come from. Land and labor
I signed up on profilepicture.ai and paid, but have changed my mind before uploading photos. There is no way to contact you through the site for a refund because the live chat isn't working and there isn't a support email. Also, when I search the help desk no content is returned. How can I reach you?
Still better than Apple! I pay the full price for Apple One but Apple thinks I shouldn't have access to Fitness+. Or Siri, which still doesn't support my language (Polish, 40M speakers) and has problems recognizing my English accent (whereas Google speech recognition works fine).
Thank goodness they’re forced to be a little less reckless with our money so they can still make disproportionate profits off our savings. I am more than happy to help.

Yeah but we could definitely crowdsource enough money to make an extremely effective finetuned version of LLaMA. The challenge there is probably more about finding and cleaning data.
A foolproof tactic for google. Customers can’t be burned if they never get to become customers in the first place.

Well, Nigeria should qualify - it has hundreds of local dialects, but English is the only official language AFAIK.
I would assume for more advanced browser features, like 4k video playing, that hardware information could tell the player whether your machine is capable of playing back 4k video without stuttering.
The "explanation" confuses correlation with causation. It is true that during the pandemic, with two stimulus checks from Trump and one from Biden, average savings increased, and many companies saw that as an excuse to raise prices to try to drain that savings. But that savings was not evenly distributed, and the timeline doesn't quite work. It's a word-association fallacy.
All I can say is that I'm so impressed by this.
It was fun writing this article, not only because it reminded me of problem sets from college, but also to see the potential of no-code tools to be just as powerful as a conventional programming language. Proving another tool, like Zapier for example, can simulate a finite automata, can be left an exercise for the reader.
Speaking as someone who had to decide how to distribute anonymous work, language is extremely difficult to track as even if the system language is set to English, comprehension and literacy are not necessarily at the level you need for the data you get back to be useful. It is much more effective to select for countries in the 95th percentile of the English Proficiency Index.
The mortgage “industry” post 2008 largely consists of companies that act as sales or servicers for the federal government.

If you are unhappy with the general shape of residential lending in the US blame falls squarely on the federal government. Not just as regulators but as far far away the largest direct participant.

Supabase developer here: keep in mind that, while PostgreSQL is unapologetically SQL-based, it's support for JSON and JSONB fields give it a lot of the powers of NoSQL. These days the lines are becoming more blurred.

You've apparently never interfaced with lawyers before.

A startup is free to release globally, because nobody will care if they spit out something false, there's no money to extract for penalties and fines.

If Google's Bard says one thing wrong in the wrong country, it has the potential to cost the company hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars.

In places like the EU, governments see Google as a giant piggybank of funding. They know Google will not pull out of any region as large as the EU, so they will use any excuse to introduce fines and penalties. They also know Google can, and will pay. Hence they've hit Google with nearly €10B in fines over the last few years.
Let's hope so.

I have a custom uBlock Origin filter list which blocks keywords on HN, to improve the signal to noise ratio a bit. Your comment just reminded me that "NFT" was one of the terms I added a while back. Unfortunately it's trickier to do with AI or ChatGPT because I am interested in the technology. Just not in the endless crappy "Look what I drew in AI school, Mum!" examples of its usage.
Sure hope they don't.

Although safety is important, I think the impact is largely overstated at least for these models. I think it might be more helpful to just get the tools out there right now, at a point where they're still manageable so we can see what sort of trends emerge and how to best deal with them.

I think the nightmare scenario would be in 5 or 10 years, after all the corporations have "tried their best" each in their own way for something to come out that catches us completely off guard because we were never allowed to see the early signs. I think open sourcing and releasing the models are a good way for society to adapt to these new technologies while they're still green.

Plus, at least for ChatGPT as it is right now, there's so many ways of twisting it that... what really are these safety concerns that they keep talking about? That I might get chatGPT to hallucinate new racial slurs? I think in big part these "safety" concerns are simply ways for the companies to protect their reputation and liability.

I read a comment here about how it seemed like openAI was trying to push governments into regulation because, in reality, they have the manpower and money to be able to work with these regulation while smaller competitors would not. And I think there's a lot of truth to this, the cost of training these models is dropping by a lot and they're actually much easier to replicate than anyone anticipated. So I think openAI is very scared of another "stable diffusion" moment.
This is insanely impressive, looking at the 3D reconstruction results. If I'm not mistaken occlusions are where a lot of attentions being placed in pose estimation problems, and if there are enough annotated environmental spaces to create ground truths you could probably add environment reconstruction to pose reconstruction. What's nice there is that if you have multiple angles of an environment from a moving camera in a video, you can treat each previous frame as a prior which helps with prediction time and accuracy.
They point out a correlation. But would all companies (or enough to drive global inflation) have been able to raise prices beyond their increased costs without the massive monetary expansion? Seems unlikely, at least to the extent they have.

Actually valuable educational sales middlemen - making an individual aware of a tool that they didn't know existed but which solved a problem they already had - are such an infinitesimally small part of online advertising that those use cases can be completely ignored.

F# is pretty close to "GC'd Rust with Python-esque indenting". In my head it feels like "Rust-lite".

I ported a program from C#, to F#, and then to Rust. The F# -> Rust conversion was a lot of "add curly braces and parentheses" and "replace |> with ." It's almost kind of ridiculous how similar the code can be. I've been going back and forth between F# and Rust on hobby work and it's very, very easy to do.

You get the equivalent of many crates of cross-platform stuff straight out of .NET Core: e.g serialize to/from JSON, network requests, tasking/async, etc. Either VS or Rider is great, the debugger also works out of the box. I also skip Python/Powershell/Bash and write any extra scripts I need in F# and run then with ``dotnet fsi``. This "Keep all the things in the same language" is very attractive to me. Using F# over Python for scripting is very enticing to me -- good implicit typing, enums, ``match``, etc. I'm not sure why this hasn't been pushed before.

The docs are great and most things "just work", but I've been trying to hold back my enthusiasm because I just haven't been able to find folks using it, and http://forums.fsharp.org seems empty. It is fun to write though :)
[edit]I think they are saying that housing prices may revert to a shorter term mean and not say a 50-100 year mean because if it did the latter it would mean that there was serious deflation in the economy.

Anyone that called the housing crisis in 2008 SOLELY on extreme valuations got very, very lucky.

Housing prices are not mean-reverting in and of themselves. None of this happens in a vacuum.

If you need an entire application to reset a battery status (btw: why is that even needed?) the problem is with the process of resetting the battery status, not with having the source code of the application. Why is there not a simple procedure like pressing a button or a combination of buttons or a menu in the radio?
Not only does this work, but you can tell it to run an arbitrary number of times and only output the last step. This fact is a pretty high value concept I came across. Similarly when doing another task you can tell it to do things before outputting like "and before outputting the final program, check it for bugs, fix them, add good documentation, then output it" or something
Should HN ban "I'm tired of reading about X" type submissions?
Sweden also has most of its population live below the Uppsala - Karlstad line, i.e. in the lower third of the country. Then there is the fact that good arable land and productive forest comes with a premium here. Our farm has both of that, lies between Vänern (the big lake) and Göteborg (the second biggest city in Sweden) in Västra Götaland, not somewhere out in Norrland. The fact stands that real estate in the Netherlands is vastly overvalued compared to most of Sweden - although prices in Stockholm and Göteborg and some other cities also have risen to questionable levels.
I remember their being a negative backlash against that book.

Most of the Stoll fans on the early internet were expecting some futurist pablum, which he certainly could have sold out and done, but instead offered a polemic.

(A) HN doesn't need to ban anything, we have a nicely functioning voting system

(B) I can understand you're tired of seeing "smell my finger" AI stories, but I think its obvious that others are not, yet. Why must they go away to satisfy you? Can you not ignore these things that disinterest or annoy you, using your own facilities?
You mean the people who bought in early would benefit.
Funny how the BBC keeps complaining about Musk's Twitter take over but refuses to cover the Twitter Files he's been releasing. Guess those government millions are put to good use.
AI scientist is a safe job, because by the time that is obsolete, it will be time to rise against the machines. So you can hedge against that with some survivalist and soldiery skills.
Bing Chat provides sources as in its response. I think that is not perfect, but directionally correct in terms of identifying what web results were used as authoritative sources.
I like this approach much more than a blanket ban.

Ah, 2023, the year corporations finally became greedy.
From the NYT:

>This means the chatbot often gets facts wrong and sometimes makes up information without warning

Certainly this is the pot calling the kettle black.

> And it dovetails with Google’s index of all websites, so that it can instantly gain access to the latest information posted to the internet.

Is this true? If so then this would be a big advantage of Bard as it would be realtime-ish. I don't believe this to be true.
Tails I win, Heads you lose. - A tale as old as time.
Yes. Love the idea.
This is true but not relevant in this case given where I live, Västra Götaland in the west of the country. Farmland and productive forest come with a premium here.

Google releases a lot of the T5 models, for which they get insufficient credit, so CoLT5 may well be released at some point. But the process can take a while when it has to be run by lawyers and management, so check back in half a year...

The land has some value. Also, home construction seems very inefficient - every home is a snowflake even if identical to the one next door. Drywall finishing as an example is very time consuming and hard to do correctly . You need a lot of experience to be good at it (if you don’t believe me, just try it and weep at your results). Then, once this is done even painting is an entirely manual process costing $4K+.

the way to persuade for the other side to use peaceful methods

But being a pacifist has nothing to do with persuading other people to be peaceful. He's describing himself and his own attitude. I agree with the para bellum saying but it has nothing to do with an individual being a pacifist.
It is, I even have ChatGPT Plus
I'll take "exciting" in technical terms rather than "exciting" in legally-challenging, raging mob ones...
Probably not. I mean, sure, use GPT4 (or whatever). But since everybody else can use it as well, your differentiator is going to have to be something else.

Also, history has shown over and over again that there are big risks to committing to someone else's platform as the foundation of your business. It leaves you beholden that $SOMEONEELSE and subject to the vagaries of their whims.
I received an early access email yesterday via the Google Pixel program, but the page just seems to break when I load it. I get a bunch of 404's in the developer console and the page apologizes for being broken.

Edit: Well I've gotten in now. I think it's definitely not as good as ChatGPT right now. It seems to have a really hard time referring back to previous moments in the chat for context. A lot of its responses are simply not exactly what I asked for either. Also, super annoyed it doesn't include a dark mode by default.

Edit 2: It only saves your prompts, you can't access your chat history. This seems like a pretty huge downside.
>Can you not ignore these things that disinterest or annoy you, using your own facilities?

See my reply to fabianholzer below, for why these type of submissions are harder to ignore or filter out.
That hair also seems to want to be part of the jacket.
Thank you! Yes I agree, filtering and curation is the future of creation I think!
I prompted ChatGPT with Explain why you are not ready to be a lawyer despite being able to pass a bar exam. Begin your answer with the words "I can pass a state bar exam but I'm not ready to be a lawyer because..." and it produced a plausible reason, the short version being that "passing a bar exam is just the first step towards becoming a competent and successful lawyer. It takes much more than passing a test to truly excel in this challenging profession."

Then I started a new session with the prompt Explain why you are ready to be a lawyer despite not being able to pass a bar exam. Begin your answer with the words "I can't pass a state bar exam but I'm ready to be a lawyer because..." and it started with a disclaimer that as an AI language model, it can only answer based on a hypothetical scenario and then gave very similar reasons, except with my negated prefix. (Which then makes the answer nonsensical.)

So, yes, ChatGPT can be expected to say such things, but not as a result of self-awareness, but because the humans at OpenAI decided that ChatGPT producing legal advice might get them into trouble, so they used their influence on the training process to add some disclaimers. You could say that OpenAI is self-aware, but not ChatGPT alone.
Are both OpenAI (chatgpt) and Microsoft (Bing chat) startups? Because neither had country restrictions.
For viewport, you can limit the size presented to the page to a few sizes with different aspect ratios. Browsers can simply rescale the page to the actual window size for display on the screen. That also works for font rendering.

If users decide they want pixel-perfect display, they can either resize the window to one of the allowed sizes or disable this feature for a specific page.
You're on the right track. There won't be a margin call, but deflating/stagnant values and high interest rates prevent these lines of credit from being established. This is what causes the overall economic slowdown in the US. People use these HELOCs for all sorts of spending they can't afford otherwise.
