>Lack of GC was one of the appealing parts of WASM to me.

Same for me, especially paired with Zig where memory management is far more central to development. It's a shame the JS interfacing overhead is so high, and I think energy would be better spent improving that, rather adding bloat to WASM.
Fair, but we were not discussing providing definitions using laymen terms. We were discussing using words in reformulations of titles of articles posted on HN. I expect people on HN to be able to deal with a title containing an unfamiliar word and seek either a precise or a laymens terms definition when needed.
I didn't say being poor was better, this was in response to who uses more government services. And I'm not event stating it as a problem, I think poor people use more services because they need more services. But I thought it was important enough to correct the claim that they don't use more services.
Thanks for confirming it is working for Linux, maybe it is a problem with Mac. I get escalation but got the same response that I cannot download it on Mac.
Ground truth will always be superior on the "does this match the ground truth?" metric, but that's often just a proxy for output quality and the model will be judged differently once deployed (e.g. "do human users like this?")

That's something to be aware of, especially when you're using convenience data of unknown quality to evaluate your model – many research datasets scraped off the internet with little curation and labeled in a rush by low-paid workers contain a lot of SEO garbage and labeling errors.
From the referenced video "CT Wilson: the delegate blocking Right to Repair in Maryland" [0]: "You don't need the source code, to change your battery, ...".

I'm somehow confronted with this with my VW car. The battery is close to dead, and I want to replace it. I can do that. Yet the car needs to be informed that it now has a new battery in order optimize its power management (it's not an electric car, it's basically the most simple modern VW).

I need to go to the dealer and have them change the battery for me and reset the battery status, which is maybe 100€ in addition to the battery cost.

If the source code would be publicly accessible, probably a cheap OBD-2 adapter would be capable of doing this.

There's also beauty and wonder. And you don't even need drugs for them.
Well they could, but actual implementation would be via an intermediary commercial bank that held it's deposits with the Fed. Central banks don't want to have to deal with retail customers. But the result is the same.
My experience is similar but different.

Sugar, booze, drugs, video games, social media, television, etc. are destructive. Those are unnatural things which are engineered to give a dopamine rush. I've been healthier in periods of my life when I did. Going "clean" is stressful, but lands me in a healthier place. I can't usually do that because of family and social ties.

The odd item on your list is sex. Sex -- in the context of a permanent, stable relationship -- builds social bonds and helps emotionally regulated. Studies show that too.
Never tried them but is it worse than adobe products?
No I just hate the hypocrisy, that's all. I would much prefer the US Government just come right out and say we use social media to monitor our citizens and we don't want China to have access to that same data. Pretending like it's unique to them is silly and makes me not respect them.
Is this something that AI is necessary for, though? Or perhaps you mean it would do this with more complex metrics.

What does this look like in practice though? Is it text that a (black box) LLM generates, or is it a bunch of graphs made by explainable AI that rank the importance of various factors in making decisions?
> nice for non-coders, that's about it.

I'm not a coder but I code; not sure if that makes sense. I sort of know a bit of regex, but find it utterly painful and not worth the time.

I'm an amateur, effectively, with little time. I like AI tools for coding, because I can input a request, and get sample code. I know enough to be able to read most of the code that I get back, but not enough to be able to easily write such code on my own.

These types of tools, in my opinion, have the potential to make people like me, and even people who are much less knowledgable than me, productive programmers. This could be transformative.

Sure, we won't be as good or productive as real programmers, but that's beside the point.

In other words, what you're referring to with "that's about it" could still transform quite a few lives.
Who granted banks the ability to create dollars?
You usually have to meet some criteria (health, education, age) in order to donate to a sperm bank. And after this selection you have to be selected which is again based on more criteria.
Obligatory xkcd: https://xkcd.com/1741/
FWIW, I think your first two points as well as the fourth will be answered by next Tuesday. That is, exponential advancement is a hellofa thing. The "wow" of GPT4 isn't just that it can pass the bar exam or be a decent Dungeon Master, it's also how fast that happened after GPT3, eh?

Your third point, that "Languages, APIs, protocols, etc. evolve over time..." is, I think, going to be obviated once these systems start writing software. I think most human interfaces (programming languages are Human-Computer Interfaces) will be refactored out of the loop. Everything we thought programming was about is about to be swept away.
Another technique you that could be used would be to look for distinct fingerprints that both have visited the same extremely niche web addresses. Someone is surely doing this already.
Using the web while being unfamiliar with Javascript is not analogous to driving without a license. It's closer to driving without being a mechanic.
Removing support for a platform is 100% a breaking change, regardless of the circumstances or reasoning.
part of it is attention, right. if it sees the word pirate then it's more likely to say Argh and Matey...

and because it's transformers onto of transformers it can says phrases based on words and phrases

the smaller ones like to repeat themselves I'm not sure if they Reinforcement learning is what fixed that or just a larger model.
Some sectors may have decent competition, but external factors may be choking supply.

For example, if there's a sudden spike in demand for, I don't know, remodeling homes, even perfectly competitive suppliers will take time to increase production.

Pine trees take time to grow before they can become 2x4s I suppose.

Then there's the question of if they believe the spike is temporary, in which case it may be too costly to expand production enough to restore the old equilibrium.
Good analysis.

Similarly, the App Store mixes "Store" with "Content filter". We should be able to choose both independently.
OpenAI hypes its own product. I can't even begin to wonder who at OpenAI thought they needed to create their own marketing here. Really some high level intelligence on the marketing team over there.
>Im not sure what REST apis are being compared against? Something like RPCs? If so, then using an interchange format like protobufs allows for automatic client generation in several languages. Additionally, schema changes are much less painful.

It's so much more expensive in the long run, though. Everything talks in HTTP. Everyone can read and understand HTTP. Proprietary binary protocols add a layer of complexity to literally everything else you do, and require a translation layer to talk to the front end.
Yep, have definitely done this once or twice with Chalk. I don't recall a time that a X.0.0 wasn't immediately followed up with an X.0.1 release for some dumb mistake I made.
It was a configuration issue between the machine being emulated and the ROM I was using. I found it by chance poking around in the config since there was no indication of what the problem was. Now I have to figure out everything else.
The Benefits of Dyslexic Thinking
I know some companies are already laying off concept artists and replacing them with AI.
this is fairly typical behaviour. when a product is outlawed, there’s nearly always an adaptation phase

for example, solder from the few years after the British ban on production use of the leaded stuff is often very poor, but—contrary to what vested interests would have you believe—humans adapt. demand creates solutions
Love the product
I wonder if any distant relation to Bill Nye the Science Guy.

So little time, so many dildos
I’m thinking not just about AI for coding, which I agree doesn’t seem to need explainability, but AI/ML in general. In that case, I suppose your point would generalize to something like explainable AI would allow for performance guarantees of some sort? What would that look like in practice, though? Or is it more a subjective feeling of trust?
Of course he will not get less email when closing the comment section. The question was if he will get more email abuse when closing the comment section.

Anyone know if there's been any forks of Chrome that enforce more privacy features? I know Chromium is a thing, but I doubt the builds for Chromium (except when tweaked by some Linux distros) do much like Firefox does.

I only use Chrome to test some things, or to create a completely isolated browser session disconnected from my use of Firefox.

How is it "on me" that stupid "opinions" are being expressed?

First of all, the context was:

my initial comment's GP: "I do really like how easy the packaging is in Python and JS is", "Maven and Gradle are a bit of a pain to configure in comparison"

my initial comment's parent: "True but beyond hobby projects this becomes a double-edged sword that swings back at you."

This comment CONTINUES to be a naked assertion based on nothingness. The negative points about NPM I've heard are:

* You should never touch human-readable files with CLIs (like package.json)

* NodeJS imports make many files because it's interpreted code

* running a command to install a package is "weird" and doing it manually is better

* Something about module resolution that was fixed half a decade ago but still didn't impact most shops that avoided drowning in libraries

You can't be serious that this is meaningful feedback.
In addition, my understanding is that there were a lot of skilled workers let go during the pandemic that aren't (or won't) come back, which is a huge choking point.
Yep - they actually talk to him in the episode.

What's the difference between far right extremist and center-right person?
I would argue that it should not be a minority of people for a community (HN) which values curiosity as claimed by the guidelines:

"the primary use of the site should be for curiosity"

"On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity. "
That's not the purpose of the GPLv2. If JD published their source code they would fulfill all the obligations of the license. Doesn't matter if their hardware is locked down.
If you (Company A/USA) doesn't release it, then someone else (Company B/China) will.
You seem to have a conflict of interest here. How can you accept this for employee/employer but at the same time say it's not ok for a person to submit fingerprinting? Employees are also persons.
It’s a factor, but a. How meaningful is it? Does it explain 50% or 5% of price increases B. How sustainable?

With regards to b, It seems like there were two elements at work, 1. People were generally flush with money and could absorb cost increases, and 2. There was a frenzied period of price hikes/volatility, where everything was in motion and I think most people just said “it’s crazy eggs and steak are this expensive, but it is a few extra bucks I can afford right now, and things will eventually calm down”

The combination of the above led to consumer price inelasticity allowing companies to increase price without effecting volume. I suspect that to change in the coming couple of years as consumer balance sheets and employment weaken, and consumers decide to have two egg omelettes instead of three or buy chicken instead of steak.
> LOWER quality codecs

I was thinking of Lower quality codec but with higher bitrate. Instead of source material being 256Kbps AAC, we could be doing 800Kbps with a low latency codec but zero re-encoding.

My bad, apparently BFE is more well known than I remember. It’s cool to have alternatives. I’ll give it a shot, why not?
They can.

But I don't really see how that could happen if you didn't also have a mortgage. You would easily be able to finance this, unless your property was also pretty much worthless. And if it was practically worthless you'd either not pay any property tax at all, due to deductibles, or pay basically nothing.

In Norway property tax (where applicable, it's up to local government) is measured as a percentage of the taxable value of primary residence. Usually 0,2 per mille or around that. The taxable value is less than the property value. It's a progressive scheme, everything below 10MNOK is measured as 25% of property value (marked value-ish), and 75% for everything over 10MNOK. For secondary houses the taxable value is set to the property value.
GPT-5: a short story written by GPT-4
I knew the storyline I wanted roughly and used a lot of prompting and re-prompting and some editing to get what I was looking for. It was surprisingly hard to get GPT-4 to make the ending dark, the RLHF was very clearly steering it towards coming up with last minute changes of mind or plot twists that made the ending happy.
My argument is that drugs and crime aren't a feature of American capitalism. They are a feature of all systems - capitalist, communist, market-communism or socialism. My argument is bringing in the economic system in this case adds little to your comment but continues to try and blame all problems on capitalism or in this case "American-capitalism" the scape goat du jour.
Both you and the other reply misread what the OP was stating completely. It was more specific than just "having children".
Which overhyped technology has tangible applications like LLM?
>The occupations with the highest exposure include mathematicians, tax preparers, writers, web designers, accountants, journalists, and legal secretaries.

I'm surprised to see "mathematicians" here, but what do they refer to? Mathematician as an academic position? As teacher? As consultant?
The Machine Elves thing is fascinating. I would chalk it up to a sort of culturally shared hallucination, where people have heard of them and are primed to expect them, except for that I had an experience on DMT long before I had heard of this phenomenon where I saw such things... I called them "engineer aliens," I shit you not

I remember a datacenter at an old job had a run in with "tin whiskers" forming off power supplies and eventually causing shorts that I believe was related to the solder issue.
Memorization is absolutely the most valuable part of GPT, for me. I can get natural language responses to documentation, basic scripting / sysadmin, and API questions much more easily than searching other ways.

While this is an academic interest point, and rightly tamps down on hype around replacing humans, it doesn't dissuade what I think are most peoples' basic use case: "I don't know or don't remember how to do X, can you show me?"

This is finally a good enough "knowledge reference engine" that I can see being useful to those very people it is over hyped to replace.
Is it really anxiety? Seems more like pulling a bandaid off. These mortgages pay out below the fed rate and there are way too many of them.
Thanks for the response. So is it more of a feeling of trust for the end-users that people want explainable AI? If an explainable model has the same performance as a black box model, does that really add any real world benefit though?

Or does that explainability potentially offer something to the FSD or fintech engineers/developers that allows them to make better models? And if so, what would that be? That’s where I seem to get stuck on this question, explainability sounds nice but I want to understand what specific, practical thing it would offer.
CSS definitely has some (a lot of?) benefits over LaTeX in terms of styling, but what I like about LaTeX is that, when you don't care about the specifics, it's insanely easy to get a good looking document. About half of this article is trying to finagle CSS into producing styling that LaTeX would produce automatically, by default.
Well, it shouldn't. But considering the crap available for a dollar and nail clipper are not like monthly expense I have usually gone with some Japanese nail clipper. Not the same brand though.
I often see the narrative on here that consumer VPN providers are almost useless for privacy due to other fingerprinting methods, which I've never really bought.
GraphQL is REST (normal POST against /graphql usually). It’s just a grammar by which you retrieve information.
Perhaps, but it was sent for TAG review only three weeks ago, and already with an intent to ship in a month.
It’s really surreal seeing essentially every news outlet and every journalist being called fake on every corner of the internet these days.
There's a lot of work you could theoretically put into automating many of the queries you would want to do with a GPT chat interface.

For example, I'm no a medical diet and need a meal plan. This diet has quite a few restrictions.

I could set up automated queries that produce a weekly meal plan, and grocery list, and also checks all of the ingredients against the allowable / not allowable food lists. This could include multiple queries, one to get an initial response, another to validate it, etc. Everything could be organized nicely, so I wouldn't have to input any text to get what I need -- I'd just click buttons. There's lots of ways this could be further customized to be more useful, such as saving recipes, generating new recipes based on old favorites, generating recipes based on foods already at home, etc. (Heck, you could wire it up to a camera in the fridge.)

Anyways -- text input to get text output is the most basic form of this technology. There's a lot you can do with such text to make it easier to interact with for specific use cases.
Glad that you liked my writeup (and my crates)!
Moreover, one needs controls for:

- widows/orphans

- running paragraphs one or more line longer or shorter

- setting a page spread to be one (or possibly two) lines deeper or shallower

- adjusting the size/cropping of an image/figure/table so as to influence pagination

- adjusting the placement of an image/figure/table so as to influence pagination

In my decades of doing typesetting, I've had exactly _one_ chapter come out perfectly on import w/ no need to adjust _anything_ --- fastest 40 minutes of my life.
Actually maybe it depends on adblockers or scriptblockers now that I think about it. Although you could still embed it on another website.
We’re actually finding good success with GraphQL codegen, specifically for a Go backend and Apollo + TypeScript frontend.

Out of all the options for generating typesafe interfaces this seems the most flexible and generates usable code.

Same here. The kind of programming I love to do is now a hobby only. (It's a good thing, I think, because the machines will write bug-free code, but I'm wistful. And the money sure was nice!)

I'm going to build toy computers for people like us who just like computers (something like Nand-to-Tetris, eh? Or Ben Eater's great kits.) but I'm not kidding myself that that's going to make a lot of money (not like programming used to.)
Tech should make lives easier, not harder
This happens, but not that often. After platforms reach certain maturity, they will usually stick to a consistent set of tooling.
"Personally, my problem is not with AI tech in itself, it's with how easy it is to get your hands on it and make literally anything you fancy with it. This is what a lot of the "AI for everything" crowd can't seem to grasp."

It's easy look at negatives of a technology to ignore its positives. Especially one like AI technology.
