The shortest answer to whataboutism on this topic is that the invasion of Iraq was also criminal (second time, not the first time). It was based on lies, achieved very little, displaced and killed millions. Please do not do the disgusting Russian thing of pretending that "we're only defending ourselves" or are otherwise justified in these actions.

Not being able to face historical facts and be honest is a major, major problem for the future. Again, to pick on Russia look at how many of them genuinely do not understand why almost all of Eastern Europe would gladly go back in time and suffocate baby Stalin with their bare hands, without thinking. Homo Sovieticus can only see the exaggerated glory of the Soviet Union without seeing the millions farmers starved to death in the Holodomor, or the hundreds of thousands tortured in KGB offices for absolutely no reason.
Land is actually valuable because its scarce. And as for building costs I highly doubt it cost 100k for the labor.

Agreed.

The point is, invite-only isn't inherently counter-productive to hype. But you need to bring the goods.

This is a great point. It appears the success of OpenAPI has validated their approach, specifically around (1) using the web as a training set and (2) using transformers.

I imagine a lot conversations with in-house AI folks is around deploying these methods.

People who have a notion of the price last month as being the "fair price" are welcome to not buy the limited supply of sawmill output until the price recovers to something that they find fair. If there is only capacity to produce Y 2x4x8s, while there's demand for 1.3xY, how do you propose to allocate them? Pricing serves to tend to allocate them to the place where they will create the most value.

The thing to note here is that the theory of epicycles was never actually a thing; contrary to popular belief, geocentric astronomy did not fix its problems by adding additional layers of epicycles.

It had one layer of epicycles, that was it; it did have additional complications, in the form of the eccentric and the equant, but these additional complications were not additional layers of epicycles that could be stacked arbitrarily.

(Copernicus may have used a second layer of epicycles in his heliocentric system, which eliminated the equant (but not, I believe, the eccentric)? Admittedly two does suggest the possibility of generalizing in a way that one doesn't, but I don't think that generalization was ever performed at the time before Kepler made the whole thing irrelevant.)

Had it been used, it basically would have been Fourier series, yeah! I don't know whether that counts as "perturbation theory" proper. But it's worth noting that the real development didn't happen that way, and the further corrections that were actually used were the eccentric and the equant, not further epicycles!

You need filter assisted decoding to make that possible in all cases (as in, working for both models all the time provably) I'm surprised it worked in chatGPT this time, but it won't work all the time due to lack of lexical, semantic, or phonetic info in the tokenizer.

Bard can this and that....Can Bard give me better search results than Google? Because Google often shows me SEO spam. I know that some people think HN crowd hates Google but this is personal. Google Chrome and Google Search can and should be improved.
My primary point is that I think it's fine to use an obviously generated "cartoon image" as an avatar, but what I think is dangerous is when reality and fantasy blur so much that people (including, especially, the subjects themselves!) get lost with respect to which is which.

It's a similar concern to the updated TikTok "makeup filter" that made the rounds recently, which basically is extremely difficult to detect as a filter. I thought especially poignant was a photographer who was saying she gets these beautiful women in to do portraits, and then when they look behind the camera to view their untouched portraits, they're aghast at how "ugly" they are, because the "filtered" version of themselves has started competing with the real version in their own head.

This shit just fucks with everyone's brain long term, in an unhelpful way, in my opinion.

Indeed, and unlike the Russian excuse of the fake bio weapon labs, the US had the totally valid excuse of weapons of mass destruction that were 100% real and not invented by the Bush administration.

Good thing the entire world opposed the war when the USA decided to go against the UN vote. Because letting those of hundreds of thousands of innocents die just because the USA are the strongest bully of the planet would be weighting heavily on our conscience otherwise.

Front-Commerce is getting a Remix
There was no supply shock. In the last three years, there was more lumber produced than ever. It was a demand shock driven by federal stimulus. And, again, what were we supposed to do? Tell the highest bidder we wouldn't sell to them? And then what? Lottery our lumber to lower bidders? That's ridiculous.
I’d install quantrix. It’s available from the same nextcomputers.org archive that you get the roms from.

Right. Aren't the guts just like big finite state machines so they can only encode regular expressions. They can't do things that require a stack like a context-free grammar or anything generated by a pushdown automata. And we can't begin to get to Turing complete, can we?
Dall-E is still ahead of the competition for some tasks. Midjourney has a very polished look but it lacks the depth of understanding that Dall-E can manage. I regularly hit prompts that I need to jump into Dall-E for.
> I attribute the speed at which incumbents are integrating AI into their products to a couple things

And also it's something many companies have been working on for a big part of the last decade. Kevin Kelly in particular has been talking about it for at least the past 7 years. In 2016 he released a book titled "The Inevitable: Understanding the 12 Technological Forces That Will Shape Our Future" and the addition of AI to everything is covered in that book.

> what about things like viewport size and font rendering? You can't exactly hide them from a website.

Of course you can. Viewport? Just return fake viewport data containing the most statistically common display properties. Website renders incorrectly? They only have themselves to blame, shouldn't have abused that data for hostile purposes. Data is a privilege, we can and should take it away. Fonts? Just force everything to use Noto Sans or Noto Mono. Everything will render correctly. Maybe the designer's vision won't be fully realized but that's not a problem.

Yes, that's correct. No matter how much US lead wars caused distruction and suffering it was "mostly" collateral damage and naive stupidity that they can change things to their own accord. Russian invasion in Ukraine is pure evil for the sake of showing how evil they are just to scare off the enemy and the future opponents. This is just as barbaric as did Mongols to Slavs, burning entire towns. Next thing after they lose the war I expect them to turn inwards and start murdering their own people a-la Stalin's purges.

The issue is the lockdowns didn't ever need to continue after the initial 2 week phase. There was no consideration for anything other than we need to obliterate covid by all means necessary. Even when they were presented with data that contradicted the need for lockdowns they decided to double down with more restrictions.

The initial 2 week response was understandable, everything after was not.

Exactly. This fantasy of forcing companies to release source code because of past use is just that: a fantasy.

That's been the case for a while, i'm sure it has come up before and there's some tech debt or external system (maybe the android and chrome account switcher integrations?) that prohibit them from changing it without a massive user-facing behavior change.

For bard specifically, you can do ?authuser=x where x is the account number as defined by other apps like Gmail or Drive.
Word, it took several years before Google Domains became available in Sweden.

And not to mention Pixel devices, which you can't even order.
I wouldnt consider stable diffusion, mid journey and Open AI products. Little bit too low level, they seem to be more platforms that the products are built on. Not to say they aren’t amazing, just that the productized versions (one level up) are being executed really well by the big companies.
Languages are not monoliths. Compare UK vs US English.

Similarly, it is increasingly common to get two Spanish tracks… one for “Latin American” Spanish (which is what you almost certainly learned if you took Spanish in school) and European (aka Iberian or Castilian) Spanish.

One of the most obvious is that ce/ci, and some z’s are pronounced “th” and not “s”. So a Spaniard would say “cinco” as something like “thinko”.

This why it’s “wor-es” (Juarez) Mexico, but “her-eth” (Jerez) Spain.
Damn, time flies.

I remember the excitement from the different alpha/beta versions that were coming out in 1994/1995.

That was also my first instinct, but is vectorization from a line sketch really that smooth and reliable now, though? It has been some time since I've used modern tools, but last I tried any raster-to-vector on line drawings that weren't super basic, the results left a lot to be desired. Jittery, under- or over-fit, etc.

This is exciting, can't wait for the LTS release next year... that said, I don't much care for the "case SomeType t when ..." pattern matching syntax, I don't see the benefit of introducing a new keyword over using "if"... or even just "&&". To pinch the example used in[1]:

case Tuner t && guitar.isInTune() -> ...;

and

case Tuner t if guitar.isInTune() -> ...;

both seem as clear as

case Tuner t when guitar.isInTune() -> ...;

...am I misunderstanding the reasoning here? Is it being introduced to keep the grammar definition simpler?

The ability to get a loan for some % of income over 30 years also props up housing prices. If the standard mortgage term were shorter, housing prices would arguably have less upwards pressure (but this might make it harder for lower income participants to compete with higher wealth participants.)

How do we know Mitchell's counterexample isn't in GPT-4's training set?

To truly test GPT-4 you must be sure to give it a problem which is not in its training set and which differently worded enough from anything it can recall. A variation that a human would understand but GPT-4 wouldn't.

I bet this can still be done, it's just that this particular example is now tainted.
To be fair, this is a test case that OpenAI claims to my knowledge was their core test case for GPT4. If this was an outstanding industry test case of note, references would be helpful. OpenAI has also not disclosed how they were able to finally accomplish this, so it’s possible solution was more of a hack than actually training the model.
I’m intrigued as well, but especially with regards to how it would perform in the real world given that I’ve also observed that diffusion models aren’t great with vectors.

I suspect the example they used might have been cherry-picked
Interest is also partially tax deductible, has been for ages. It makes no sense at all and has only served to fan the flames of an already overheated housing market. It's mostly lingered because nobody wants to be the one to rip off the band-aid. It would have been a very good opportunity to do it when the interest rates were negative, but still no. And at this point, it would it's inconceivable. Tens of thousands of households would be pushed over the brink.
Kids at street corners have idea and vision, no shortage in that. What matters is putting together idea and vision with execution. And for anything that is beyond basement scope, execution further subdivides into craft and access. Access to the means, and that is true for Hollywood as much as it is true for the smallest-time painter who might not be good at making friends with gallerists. The outliers are those that learn the craft, network into a position of access and still retain some trace of idea and vision through all of that.
Lumber is not in quite the same boat as everything else: virtually every year the US reenacts protectionist import policies banning Canadian softwood lumber from being imported. The easiest way to lower lumber prices is to allow imports of Canadian lumber to resume.
The logical reasoning in Bard is off in this example (as its basically just putting each destination together with a list of attractions in each city).

Additional prompting to tell it to correct the output doesn't seem to have the same effect as it does in the OpenAI models.
Google top brass and board should just flush down their product people and start from scratch. It's embarrassing at his point how inept they are at coming up with ideas and executing on them.

There's a lot of really smart people there and talented engineers and lot of that is wasted by product management being incompetent.
I think you're almost there. If you just restate it a little bit more with a few more relevant examples, I think people will understand.
Adobe in particular, however, has been more twords the forefront of AI research. I'm pretty sure they aren't just using SD here. They might not even be using transformers at all. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35089661

After the second world war:

- War in Iraq. Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF; March 2003 - November 2011) ...

- War in Afghanistan. Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF; October, 2001 – December, 2014) ...

- Persian Gulf War (1991) ...

- Vietnam War (1962 - 1973) ...

- Korean War (1950 - 1953)

And this does not include things like coups in South America, or the fact they are surrounding Iran with missiles.

The USA is among the biggest war mongers of the world, they have killing millions since 1950, and everybody seems to just go "meh".
> How many crises do we have to go through before we admit the fed and banks either have no idea what they are doing or they know exactly what they're doing and it's malevolent?

False dichotomy. The Fed can have good intentions, and a good-but-not-perfect idea what they're doing, and things can be working out, not perfectly, but better than they would in the absence of the Fed.

Is there any evidence for that? Yeah, look at the world before the Fed. Look at the "Panic/Depression of 18xx". There's several to choose from. They're 2008-or-worse events, over and over and over.

The economy is a really complicated system, with lots of humans (and their emotions!) as part of the system. It's really hard to tune it perfectly. That doesn't mean that the Fed is either malicious or incompetent.
The Federal reserve is essentially printing money. Tons of entitlement programs, unfunded spending, bail outs, etc. crazy amount of spending for Covid. The inflation act that was all about spending huge amounts of money for climate and other things. Exact opposite of reducing inflation.

This is the primary source of inflation. Secondary is removing millions from workforce so that less things are produced.

Articles like this are trying to shift blame away from the government.

Ask HN: What technologies would you use today to build an API business?
I've built a few APIs, primarily using either Node.js with the Express framework or Rails in the API configuration.

They've both worked, but Node.js often feel "unwieldy" very quickly, while Rails often seems like way to much magic and rigidness.

I'm about to start working on a new project and wondering if it's worth trying something else. I have a lot of experience with Kotlin, so thought about ktor. I also keep hearing good things about Go.

So, what is your opinion? What would you use?
Great idea! As someone who spent time volunteering for Bernie Sanders campaign, I'll wait here while you go do that: Good luck!
They don't need the hype since they are "Google" after all ( At least it's how they behave ).

My opinion is that they are hostage of the image/ego they built around themselves, to the point where they say "incredible" things like: "ChatGPT? oh yeah we have those things internally and ChatGPT it's child's play comparing to what we have. We just don't release it to the public because we are responsible and the good guys.. We also have a girlfriend but she's in Canada."

My take is, regardless of how "good" Bard is, they will make a fool of themselves because their past, present and honestly, people are kind of fed-up with their "Googleness" bs..
