Isn't that relevant?

In my opinion, this has significant value. Currently, programming languages serve as the primary means of communication with computers, and now we are transitioning to using English.

In a way, we are granting development capabilities to billions of people. This is both amazing and exciting, I believe.

5 years? Bit of a long stretch with how much focus is going into AI. I’d be surprised if it’s not possible within two iterations of the new iPhone.
I thought the whole point was that they wouldn't need to reuse them if they can print a new one every week for just the cost of the raw metal.
> Do you feel this is unique to "The left"?

No, the right is defined by the left, but woke is defined by the people who oppose it, etc. It's one of many. Conservative and liberal are a circle jerk where each is an identity and a slur to threaten dissidents with. (Despite Liberal, at least, having deeper roots than are currently meant by those who use it, it's now meaningless in most places.)

The left is perhaps a bit worse than some identities for being communist, and being used to explaining millions of deaths in terms of progress...

Left/right bothers me even more than liberal/conservative though because it's a reductive lens that people try to push onto everyone around despite it having little to no historical impact on most of them.

> You've gone off the rails my dude, and I have no reason to believe you are communicating with a modicum of good faith anymore.

It's a mere search away but that's just it. I could guarantee that you weren't going to go look because you don't want it to be true. It's a giant umbrella of things nobody is really happy with so nobody looks carefully.

Actual government policy impact: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2021/07/26/the-german-exp...

I'm not really talking about actual leftists who embrace their ideology but shrill ideologues with identities and how the term is incorrectly used by many, even for themselves. And it isn't that this specific philosophy is bad, though it seems so, but that it's more officially a leftist platform than a lot of what people would think is.

That most supposed leftists wouldn't support this, if asked away from their peers, is the point.

> I think we _almost_ agree here, except that they are both identities and platforms.

Sure, then I'm just saying that leftist, conservative, etc, are all the way at the 'almost entirely an identity with almost no connection to policy' and 'fiscal conservative' is perhaps roughly in the middle, and some sort of hypothetical amazing group may exist which is vastly more focused on policy than identity.

> Keep investigating, just remember, they're watching you, just waiting for you to make a small misstep. They want to take away your freedom. They want to turn your children gay. They track your phone location. Stay vigilant. They are always watching.

That's pretty funny considering you're the one talking about good faith.

And yes, hello. They do track our phones. Congratulations on conflating a huge issue of national security with your identity politics.
I would certainly use a search engine that weighted heavily against the current style of SEO articles and towards real blogs and good sites. The top links on Google are indistinguishable from AI articles as-is, so I don't think Google is interested in providing this service.
I really think you have hit the nail on the head here. Apple has a ridiculous, almost unfathomably deep moat for training and running personalised, customised LLMs and other AI models on the 'edge' with these Apple Silicon chips in all their devices.

We must be talking orders of magnitude differences in operational cost, not to mention completely unique features like privacy. The very definition of disruption, waiting in the wings.

Not only that, but this model of 'wait in the wings and pounce when the tech is really there and absolutely nail it' is Apple's forté, aligned completely with the cultural and strategic DNA of the company.
If "toxic content" is filtered out, it will be out of the model's distribution if it encounters it during inference, this is clearly not our goal and interest as AI designers, so it would not work as an alignment method; our interest is that the model can recognize toxic content but not produce it, OpenAI to address this issue is using RLHF, changing the model's objective from predicting the next token based on the distribution of the training dataset to maximizing the sparse reward of a human annotator.
> nothing in my comment implies that Indians have inherently inferior English-language communication skills

I’m not sure how implying English is not their first language does not call English language communication skills into question. Incidentally, you are likely correct, as very few Indians speak English as a first language.

> I really don't see how the journalist's ethnicity is relevant, and I'd love some clarification on why you do.

Ethnicity is not relevant, cultural context is. Likely neither OP nor the journalist speak English as a first language.

> It's also a bit arrogant for them to assume they're better at crafting headlines than the entire team responsible for publishing the story

Reuters is a news agency. Their headlines are supposed to be uneditorialised almost by definition. It’s not about being “better at crafting headlines”, it’s about adding an editorial slant to a neutral headline. I agree that it was the wrong thing to do, but news outlets the world over will “craft” different headlines for this story based on the same wire story.

> I decline to continue participating.

OK.
It works, but it sucks power like no tomorrow if it actually stays on. Its basically unusable if you want more than hour or two of battery life (or you use it in short bursts for compute).
Cool

Sounds like the organization is being sensibly rationalized.
But users will need to store multiples TB of data to run it ?
That's true, but it doesn't make it better in any way. Ideally reserve currency should not be the currency of any single country to avoid this situation where one country basically freeloads on the global economic development by printing paper and can even cause wave of global inflation by arbitrarily deciding to print waaay to much, too quickly.

You might argue that to keep printing this country needs to invest into aircraft carriers to keep everybody else in line and well behaved. But it's still a very profitable arrangement as the recent history of USA shows.
How can one even make a non-Company linked Blind account?
The Roman empire did that for hundreds of years! They had an economic standard that wasn't surpassed until ~1650s Europe, so why didn't they have an industrial revolution? It was because elites were very against technological developments that reduced labor costs or ruined professions, because they thought they would be destabilizing to their power.

There's a story told by Pliny in the 1st century. An inventor came up with shatter-proof glass, he was very proud, and the emperor called him up to see it. They hit it with a hammer and it didn't break! The inventor expected huge rewards - and then the emperor had him beheaded because it would disrupt the Roman glass industry and possibly devalue metals. This story is probably apocryphal but it shows Roman values very well - this story was about what a wise emperor Tiberius was!

GPT-3.5 requires less. And neither model is considered size-optimal. It's just that with Microsoft's money, it's easier for OpenAI to move fast by throwing said money at more hardware rather than trying to optimize for size.

And yeah, I wouldn't expect them to share any model that is competitive with their current offering. But it can leak, and the copyright situation around that is very unclear at the moment.
Yeah definitely not the colors used to highlight the pattern...

The way you construct a set of Wang tiles determines how many you'll need. The first link in my previous post shows how to construct them for various set sizes.
It's not the same as traditional SPA, especially with that 1 file per route setting. This is SSG and does impact how and where it can be deployed.

E.g. a traditional SPA (client only) can handle dynamic routes without extra intervention of a higher level router.

Otherwise yes SSG can be useful :)
Today fake primary sources is mostly due to out-of-context / cherry picked statements and maybe some photoshopped images. It won't be long before we literally will not be able to trust our eyes and ears when we watch a video and it'll quickly get to the point where it will be challenging to know the person you're video conferencing with is who they say they are. At a time where societal trust is so low this technology seems very toxic.

I struggle to have a positive mindset on AI when it's promised use case is to help us navigate all the spam, fraud and abuse that other AIs generate.
This post makes me wonder if emotional responses follow a normal(ish) distribution. On one end you have somebody who's completely unfazed by what's happening and on the other tail you have... this googler.
This isn't really why most developers are choosing to use what they're choosing to use today, but in the long term the most granular serverless compute available is going to be running on V8 isolates, not containers. With JS (& WASM) you're going to be able to deploy globally w/o a build step in less than 10 seconds and pay a fraction of the cost for compute. That's why I'm focused on the JS ecosystem personally, I think the advantages are just going to keep compounding and the % of web applications being built with it is probably just going to keep going up.
"Se non è vero, è ben trovato" clause, perhaps.
In a way this is a bit less impressive than having chatgpt being able to generate those answers on its own only using learned information. This kinds of admits defeat regarding its ability to solve mathematical problems correctly or answer factual information.

why is italian supermarket wine in the 5 to 20 euro range so crappy? big mystery. by now i just won't buy it anymore. french, spanish, argentinian, south african, australian, ... but f italian wine.

also as a german i disregard italian coffee culture as a sharade. i want a proper cup of coffee to drink. not this tiny cup or variations on it. german style filter coffee, heck, even drip coffee, with a sip of milk and some sugar beats all that crafty nonsense any time of the day.

italian restaurants are usually always providing a bad experience. the waiters are stuck up or even down right arrogant pricks. any alternative is preferential.

This definitely doesn't just apply to frontend. A lot of the JS ecosystem can be like this :(

Too many projects. Not enough focus. Everyone creates their "alternative".
> This could be possible with cryptocurrencies

It is very easily possible with normal currencies too. Obviously banks will need a human, or a legal entity to be the “owner” of the account but it is very easy to imagine someone hooking up an AI with an account to automate some business. Maybe initially it would involve a lot of handholding from a human, so the AI doesn’t have to learn to hustle from scratch, but if the money is flowing in and the AI is earning more money than it is spending it is easy to imagine that the human checks out and doesn’t double check ever single service or purchase the AI does.
This is great, I love to see these work out. This type of re-acquisition can be difficult to see through to completion. The acquiring company has moved on and doesn't want to spend resources on dealing with it. I had tried to do this too at one point but then then newish CEO of the company we were trying to buy it back from was gone and we sorta gave up.
I'm talking about the headline being misleading, not whether he's in the right or not.
VFX artists can definitely make a good living. Their salaries are comparable to tech if you remove the stock portion. They also work crazy OT and are paid hourly which means big money. That's true if you're more senior of course.

Don't waste your time with a mantra, easiest way of lucid dreaming is the nose method.

In your waking reality, make the habit of shutting your nose close (pinch with fingers) and trying to breathe every 10 minutes. Thing is while dreaming if you shut your nose and try to breathe you'll notice that it works. If you make it a habit in your waking reality then it'll also carry over to your dreams where you'll notice that you can actually breathe with your nose shut and instantly be awakened into a lucid dream.
I wrote this a while back comparing Intel 12th Gen to AMD 6000, and power/perf should apply even more to the 13th Gen vs 7040 (Zen4 + RDNA3):

The reason that people want AMD CPUs is simple - they’re much better than what Intel is offering. We can see empirically how wide this gap is now since we have independent reviews of identical laptop platforms from Lenovo and HP’s ultrathin business laptops (the same segment as Framework):

HP EliteBook 840 G9 1280P vs HP EliteBook 845 G9 6950HS [1] - these are both respective flagship parts, and we can see the AMD version has both a +23% performance rating and a +23% better battery runtime. Note, that on the HP website currently, the same configuration AMD version is also >30% cheaper.

Lenovo ThinkPad T14s G3 6850U vs 1235U [2] - since the Intel version reviewed isn’t a top of the line model, it’s not fair to compare performance numbers, but even with the significantly lower TDP Intel part (15W vs 28W), the AMD version of the laptop ends up with an even bigger lead with a 35% better battery runtime. The AMD version is also 10% cheaper than their Intel counterparts from the Lenovo site pricing.

In both these cases, the AMD version wins significantly on processing power, battery efficiency and price. The 7040 should extend the lead on the latter, and that's not taking GPU performance into account [3], where the AMD Radeon 680M simply crushes the Intel Xe 96EU by an average of +88% in game performance, and +135% in synthetics (and again, the 7040’s RDNA3 GPU and Xilinx AI core will extend the lead even more for the upcoming generation).

If their areas are really that separate, perhaps it's a good idea to do reviews for cross-pollination purposes.

If someone leaves or has a bad meeting with a bus, at least one other person has some familiarity with that code.
How deep in the React ecosystem do you have to be to NOT see that the problems OP is describing are not inherent in change, but rather Meta deprioritising public / open-source React?

You wouldn’t see this shit otherwise.

Especially with Meta’s resources, there were MUCH better ways to handle React’s documentation situation. The JS community, but especially React, just happens to set the bar on the floor as far as end user communication goes, compared to other open-source projects, say…Django, with like…two paid staff and a bunch of volunteers.

This isn’t just the cost of progress. It’s laziness.

I'm sure that with the right prompting, you can get it to very convincingly participate as a party in a contract negotiation or business haggling of some sort. It would be indistinguishable from an agent with its own goals and intentions. The thing about "it has no goals and intents" is that it is contradictory with its purpose of successfully passing off as us: beings with goals and intents. If you fake it well enough, do you actually have it?

Always good to read Yegge. But as with Joel back in the day, with this kind of post you have to separate the meat from the marketing.

It seems clear that LLM’s are going to be decent as assistants, but the 5x claim is BS and the marketing part of the post. Most of software development isn’t coding, it’s testing and experimenting and bug fixing and refactoring and documenting and interacting with other people and often companies.

If we get to the point where an LLM can get assigned a Jira ticket, make a bug fix, slack the PM for clarification on the ticket, debug the code, write regression tests, etc, then that will be something.

Right now? It’s a much improved Clippy with a very big set of knowledge behind it. When it’s embedded in the SDLC, that will e something. If we ever get there.

The risk is there. But it's worth the risk. Humans are curious creatures, you can't just shut something like this in a box. Even if it is dangerous, even if it has potential to destroy humanity. It's our nature to explore, it's our nature to advance at all costs. Bring it on!
I find it fascinating that this was released after the June 2022 launch of the M2 chipset and line of products, and yet Apple had no desire to show relative performance of M2 vs. M1 here - even in the simultaneous announcement here: https://machinelearning.apple.com/research/neural-engine-tra...

It's fascinating to me that at least one of two things is true: either (a) Apple has lost its ability to coordinate "hype" between its teams, or (b) the difference between comparable levels e.g. the M1 Max vs. the M2 Max are so negligible that they don't look good in an announcement like this.

Has anyone run inference for LLMs or other transformer models on comparable M1 and M2 Macs? Are there good benchmarks for this specific workload?

“past several years”

Umm… I went to Stanford from 2002-2006 and this policy was in place back then. Why is this news now?
I mean, it's possible to load LLMs onto a smartphone today. The utility is limited though, and if iPhone 19 still has arbitrary application memory requirements then I think it's safe to say they won't be using the most complete models. At the end of the day, OpenAI's "huge-ass LLM as a service" will probably be relevant longer than you think it will be. Local inferencing might be able to do simpler stuff (eg. compose assistant speech) but this is already possible with pruned models and CPU acceleration.

The bull mindset is fun to watch unfold (especially here on HN) but I think people should temper their expectations.
I have started giving GPT some of my own sentences I am unhappy with in prose and asking for it to repeat it in a more "active voice". I do not paste it into my writing -- I read the results and edit my original sentences as I wish, if I wish. This process will likely find me reaching out to GPT less and less as I become more familiar with the writing style I am seeking.

I think methods similar to this will become more popular with writers.

> into space in different directions

Different directions - this is the fundamental challenge. It's hard to know what these directions are when we're flying blind at the cutting edge of technology.

We're all human. I suspect out of the 100, you'll have 95 of them going into the same as before areas. Maybe 5 truly understand the above point and explicitly strike down ideas that have been done before.

GPT-3 has been live for a while now. The industry has hundreds of story generator apps specialized for various kinds of content generation. Very few are really thinking about AGI or chain-of-thought reasoning etc as an example.

So I don't think launching 100 of them into different directions would work. Maybe 5 of them with both the expertise and direction to pursue seemingly impossible goals.
I really like the Neanderthal library because it does a pretty good job of abstracting over Nvidia, AMD, and Intel hardware to provide matrix operations in an extremely performant manner for each one with the same code. Dragan goes into a lot of detail about the hardware differences. His library provides some of the fastest implementations of using the given hardware too, it's not a hand-wavy, half-baked performance abstraction, the code is really fast.
