The last time I flew Singapore Airlines (maybe 3 years ago?) for an LAX->NRT flight and back, their system felt smoother than anything else I'd used on a plane before. IIRC it seemed to be built with Android or similar. Thought that was a pretty decent UI considering how bad in-flight systems usually are.
That's a bug in Intel GPUs Drivers. Windows Server can use an optimized display mode when there is only a Core Animation Layer that covers the entire screen. Unfortunately on Intel GPUs color management is not correct if the layer bit depth 8-bit.
Every time a subtitles line appears, the Windows Server switches out of the optimized mode, and so the color management corrects itself, and when the subtitles line disappears, it goes back to the optimized and buggy mode.

The good news is that Intel GPUs are not used anymore on recent Macs, the bad news is that Intel GPUs drivers will never be fixed.

Probably the enlarged cursor prevents the usage of the optimized Windows Server mode.
What's the difference between real threads and shared memory between processes? I don't really follow. Memory object is all you have in webassembly for your process. If it's shared between multiple workers, you basically get threads.
The point your rhetorical question tries to drive home is bad which is why other commenters didn't let it sit. Thanks to dang hacker news has rules of conduct that prevent this place from degenerating into a cesspool, but now that another company applied similar rules to its AI then the free speech absolutists decry at the podium.

If you want a generative AI without any decency then make it yourself, but don't act like this AI is censored just because it communicates in the way that everyone in society does when they are not protected by the veil of online anonymity
It's a bug in the Intel GPUs drivers, see my reply to the parent message.

What about VPN clients, I'd assume some do?
Yes, I do think that is to get more training data...

But my impression is that continual training is difficult, so it makes more sense to get a big chunk of it and then do a big chunk of training on that? But maybe they have done that at least once already with this new data?
If the objective was not spend on design software, why not use latex?
I follow you and Pieter Levels on twitter. Some wild things you guys create -- the control net things are unreal. I am continually impressed and inspired.

If you're looking for critiques or improvements stating "Indistinguishable from real photos" seems a stretch as good as they are. Even if I were to use ai photos, I'd never try to pass them off as real. Seems dishonest. I'd push more towards a new thing, not sell as replacement for proper headshots. In that way, I'd think stylized things would do better, ie make it a piece of art. But also I'm def not target customer and you already seem to be doing quite well. Good on you for building so much.
I was curious where this stuff is apt to be found so I looked further:

- It's seems it occurs in healthcare settings. Particularly with patients that are subject to inserted lines or tubes.

- It's a yeast.

- It's hard for labs to identify.

Until we break the speed of light, I’m very bearish on cloud gaming. It just feels so bad. You’ve got like 9 layers of latency between you and the screen.
The obvious play here is to impede competition with Copilot.
There is an AI generated spam joke inthere but I cant think of it right now. I'm much to overwhelmed [again] by the clarity of that explanation.

I believe someone posted a paper talking about the riddle at the end: Apparently one can also merge weights if work is done on a partition repeatedly/accidentally. The rest of the merger seems a kind of bittorrent(?)
I wonder if this type of thing could be adapted to a vision system for a robot? So it would locate the camera and reconstruct an entire scene from a series of images as the robot moves around.

Probably needs a ways to get there but to be able to do robust SLAM etc. With just a single camera would make things much less expensive.
Most companies strongly discourage you from submitting headshots already. At this point, it's considered unprofessional to submit a picture on an application.
I don't believe that those are actively fed into the AI as feedback, instead they go to the devs to have some things to investigate and see if they can improve.
Ahem, as far as I can tell, the site creates individual headshots, not team photos, so the team members could each just support a local photographer at their own physical location, no?
This is reductionist, the specifics of what goes on at the surface do matter, that is the whole point of the climate change debate. How much chemical energy can we dig up and how do the byproducts affect the radiative ability of the planet (ie green house gases).

Of course there is a gap. This is at the exploratory proof of concept stage. The fact that it works at all is what is interesting.

Furthermore once you've identified the make and model of the car, its relative position in 3d, any anomalies -- that ain't just a Ford pickup, it is loaded with cargo that overhangs in a particular way -- its velocity, 'etc -- I'm quite sure that extrapolating additional information from the subsequent frames will be significantly cheaper as you don't have to generate a 3d model from scratch each time.

I think this is a viable exploratory path forward.

My point is that freedom of speech is crucial to a great intellectual environment, and that you can't have freedom of speech and ban the discussion of vast swathes of theories about the world.

You claim that this is just something that people who enjoy racist and misogynistic jokes say. That is absurd. Noam Chomsky, Norman Finkelstein, John Stuart Mill, etc. - are these people all just racists and misogynists?
AI, Climate Change and war in Ukraine.

It's really getting harder to stay sane and calm.

If we all end up being replaced by AI, I can't see the devastating economic effects being good for the move to renewables.
When you ask yourself a question, that's recursion. The conversation with yourself can't go on until the question at the top of the stack is answered. The voice in your head, that is to say the closed brain loop of talking to yourself which we call "thinking" is recursive. Its a strange form of programming where everything is hacked out of api calls to localhost. There are no implementations, its api all the way down.

These LLM's don't have that brain loop due to how they were constructed. They cannot do voice-in-your-head reasoning. Whatever is done in the loop structure has to be completely unrolled to be done in a single pass by an LLM. Needless to say, a lot comes for free in the recursive structure that has to be trained with great effort on the naive, unrolled, flat structure.

This guy hacks a feedback loop into the LLM by manually feeding the output back to the input.

Has anyone compared performance between LLaMa.cpp vs Alpaca.cpp?
> A bi-directional API layer between the Control Plane and the Data Plane defines the only integration point between the two planes. We decided to go with a REST API for the following reasons:

> REST APIs are independent of technology used, which helps avoid any dependency between Control Plane and Data Plane. We were able to change the language from Python to Golang in the Data Plane without any changes or impact to the Control Plane.
They offer a lot of flexibility, decoupling various server components which can evolve independently.
> They can scale efficiently due to the stateless nature of the requests - the server completes every client request independently of previous requests.

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.

We can also start suing NotOpenAI in many countries for copyright infringment stuff in their trainig data. They need to come up with a 'social contract' for AI models, in the same way that google made a synergistic relationship with publishers in the past
Whenever I install a fresh Linux distro, the very first thing I do is I install a macOS cursor and replace the default one. I just can't use a mouse without this cursor. Every other cursor just doesn't look right to me. I know, I know... I'm sure others tend to install whatever they're familiar with.
Ive been programming Java since around 1.4 and that AbstractFactoryFactory meme is just BS. Its not in the language. Some frameworks were bloated in that way but that's not the language.
Imagine Google's next Big Thing: Google Advisor. It's an AI that rates all content you consume. It tells you whether it is AI-generated or human-generated, reliably. Web, forums, chats, SMS, e-mail, even billboards and other offline ads. Also images, sound and video, it's multimodal. All your phone calls, video calls, music you listen to, movies you watch. Anything you can point your camera to.

It's free, but you pay with your data, as always. What you consume, when, how and how much. Also in what mood and your emotional reactions to it, via accelerometer and other side channels. You can opt out of the latter two, the switch is buried somewhere deep in the settings.

The real product is ads that are clearly AI-generated but still acceptable by you. Sometimes even likable.
Those are great things to have, but I'm not entirely sure how they would help at all here. An unlockable bootloader would let you install…what, exactly? The patches for this have not been disclosed.

Right. And that compensation is much too high.

It's not a weird analogy, it's a great analogy.

Companies don't use their budget only for profit and not to "buy food", that's a ridiculous assertion. Companies get income, the use it to pay for all the operations that went into making that income, usually mostly salaries. Only what's left over is profit.

And if a company sees that next year, when it expected income of 100m, it instead will only get 80m, that difference has got to affect it somehow.
I'm not sure lack of compensation is the problem, in California anyway:

WebAssembly brings absolutely zero new features to web. You can get predictable performance for some code and that's about it. Think about it as an optimisation. There's much more hype than essence there. You could compile C++ or Java to JavaScript 10 years ago. Bellard's jslinux was implemented with JavaScript originally and it was enough to emulate x86 in the browser.
Hey, I was there.

9-11 disrupted my life pretty fierce, and then I wound up losing a job offer right after Lehman collapsed. It took an year or so after to get a "normal" consulting job (that was over a handshake only). Worse yet, I had moved abroad and coming back home was not going to happen.

In retrospect (and this absolutely was not my feeling at the time), it was a blessing in disguise. That year was much more interesting than any other part of my life, and I met a lot of people who made my life better years down the line.

I sincerely hope things go well for you.
When we do hit whatever +1.5C or +2C, Q will be 0. The amount of energy input to the earth system isn't changing - that's defined by the temperature of the sun, it's the output that is decreasing.

What your energy look describes is dT/dt, how quickly we will reach the new equilibrium.

At the new equilibrium, the temperature is likely still to be the best descriptor of the new normal - we describe most processes and states in terms of temperatures they happen at, because it's and intensive property rather than an extensive one. You don't have to temper this 300 TW number by the mass or surface area of the earth to get a sense of what's happening when you use temperature

What's the energy number at which a glacier will melt? What's the temperature?

∆T is one of the most important numbers in thermodynamics for good reason
Great thing you did. IMHO.

ps: I taught my kids programming.
I think we could actually do things to stop it if it was really required, it would come at some costs to our freedom of course, regulation would be heavy, access to certain types of computer hardware would be restricted like guns, but I'm starting to think this will actually happen.

Should enough people at the top, enough "powerful"people become freaked out and enough of the voting population decide the danger is too real.

If America goes that way, basically all other countries will follow too. I don't buy this, "If we stop, China will keep going thing". I'm sure China has it's own concerns, and they're not 100% self-destructive.

1984, but real.

So I'd argue, you might actually be wrong. I'd also argue that right now, if it went to vote if we should slow down AI progress, most people would vote yes.

It's the hardware that's the key attraction. I have a linux laptop. It's slow. Ugly. Awkward to use (keyboard, trackpad, etc). Etc. And I have an M1 macbook pro for work, which is the opposite. It's just a really nice laptop to use. Basically, unrivaled by anything PC based currently. A few vendors come close. But not all the way. And if you like using Linux, having a really nice laptop to run it on is a good thing.

I tend to run the same kinds of tools on both laptops (open source ones).

The Apple software experience matters less to me these days. I spend most of my time switching between the same applications that I would use on Linux and I mostly ignore all the iApps that come with macos. Beyond finder and preview, there aren't any Apple applications that I regularly use or need. Mostly I don't care about M1 vs. Intel. I'm not a native developer and all the stuff I care about is available for both cpu architectures. I just need the OS to get out of the way and allow me to do my thing. I used the linux laptop extensively for a while when I was without a Mac last year. Works great as a daily driver.

LineageOS has improved a lot over the years, and Android 12 (10+ with GSI images) finally has a working OTA update workflow.

But honestly, the "Android is not Android" problem is hard to communicate and endusers have so many pitfalls.

If you tell them "oh yeah I actually use RethinkDNS as an adblocker, combined with Fennec via F-Droid and its uBlock Origin extension that only somewhat works on mobile due to their messy UI" then you lost already 99% of users that will never figure out how to flash their device with the custom ROM, let alone understand what you just said.

It's so sad that you also have to tell them "but use only one of maybe 10 devices, all other Android devices are either totally outdated with their kernel or cannot be supported anymore"... and when I read your comment I kind of have to agree with your point.

However, if you ask ChatGPT (GPT-4) about Wordle, it knows about it.

> tell me about wordle

Wordle is a popular online word game that gained significant traction in the early 2020s. The game's objective is to guess a secret five-letter word within six attempts. In each attempt, the player submits a five-letter word. The game provides feedback on the submitted word using three different colors:

Yellow: A letter in the submitted word is correct but is in the wrong position.

Gray: A letter in the submitted word is not in the secret word.

Green: A letter in the submitted word is correct and in the correct position.

Using the feedback provided, the player continues to guess the secret word until they either succeed or exhaust their six attempts. The game's simple yet addictive nature contributed to its widespread popularity, and it became a daily ritual for many people. Due to its popularity, several variations and clones of Wordle have emerged, including ones that involve guessing phrases or identifying words in different languages.

> give me examples of wordle puzzles

Wordle puzzles involve guessing a secret five-letter word within six attempts. While it's difficult to provide specific examples since the puzzles are generated daily, I can walk you through a hypothetical example:

Secret word: APPLE

Attempt 1: PLATE

Feedback: P (Yellow), L (Yellow)

Attempt 2: PEACH

Feedback: P (Yellow), E (Yellow)

Attempt 3: PANEL

Feedback: P (Yellow), A (Yellow), E (Yellow), L (Yellow)

Attempt 4: APPLE

Feedback: A (Green), P (Green), P (Green), L (Green), E (Green)

In this example, the player successfully guessed the secret word "APPLE" in four attempts. The feedback provided after each attempt helped the player deduce the correct letters and their positions.

Good point, but headshots are essentially required in arenas other than job hunting. For a startup, it would be unprofessional to pitch investors without headshots of the founding team in the deck. Even in hiring, I'm willing to bet most hiring managers look candidates up on LinkedIn where they will see a headshot.

These are known stable parameters, we have a long recorded history of resource use and the insulative properties of gases in a mixture are tabled.

It's also well known in numerical modelling and physics why a number of systems have easy to predict long term coarse behaviour while also having short term impossible to predict fine grained behaviour, this exactly addresses your question about how can climate (coarse long term) be predicted when weather (short term, fine grained) is difficult.

See the Dzhanibekov Effect and the work of both Smale and Lorentz for insight.

A rotating (about intermediate axis) wing nut has a determined long arc trajectory of its CoG (centre of gravity) .. but an unpredictable short term tumble about its CoG.
