Exactly. And my point in the first place was that it's most useful for those kinds of tasks you might hand to an apprentice where the apprentice might go away, spend a lot of time doing research and distill it down to some code that is simple, likely not all that great, but saves me time.

E.g. some tasks I've used it for recently:

* Giving me an outline of a JMAP client so I can pull down stuff from my e-mail to feed to GPT.

* Giving me an outline of an OpenAPI client.

* Giving me an index page and a layout for a website, including a simple starting point for the CSS that did a reset and added basic styling for the nav bar, forms and "hero "sections.

* Giving me an outline of a Stripe API integration.

* Writing a simple DNS server.

* Writing a simple web server capable of running Sinatra apps via Rack.

None of these were complex code that'd hide obscure bugs. None were big chunks of code. All of them were simple code that was always going to have big, gaping holes and sub-optimal choices that'd need to be addressed, but that was fine because they were scaffolding that saved me starting from scratch (and the last two were not intended to turn into anything, but just exploring what it could do)

That's where the biggest savings are for me, because if I asked it to generate particularly complex stuff, I'd end up spending ages getting comfortable it'd done it right and verifying it. But the simple but tedious stuff is something it's great for.

Maybe the access to user's personal data depends on personal privacy settings or whether someone is based in US/UK? I'm just speculating.
Not sure what's scarier, the faces or the message from Chtulu in the text!

Unless these examples were cherry picked rare fails, I'm surprised it's so bad when there are a few of other generative models out there including ones by OpenAI which do human faces almost perfectly. Unless they're really throttling processing power used?
On my iPhone, I was surprised to see I had made 20+ visits when in reality that was my first visit to fingerprint.com. It makes me feel better that my fingerprint isn't actually unique!
IMO ADA is probably a net harm at this point. When I look at the sidewalks here in socal, where 50 years ago they planted these rooty trees that make the region look like a tony hawk game today versus something you'd be able to get a wheelchair across, I'm starting to suspect its all ironically ADA's fault. They put the costs to meet their criteria so high that cities find it a better bet to just absorb lawsuits and not do anything than to actually make their cities manageable for disabled people. We need a more practical ada, that isn't nearly so costly to implement, so cities don't find it financially sensible to just sit on their hands forever.
> Lots of exams are designed to prove certain knowledge given safe assumptions of the known limitations of humans, which are completely wrong for machines. The relative difficulty of rote memorization versus having an accurate domain model is perhaps the most obvious one, but there are others.

I don't think this is obvious at all. Sure, it's easy enough to make mechanistic arguments (after all, we don't even really understand most of the mechanics on either side, human and ai) but that doesn't mean it will matter in the slightest when we evaluate the outcome in regards to any metric we care about.

Could be tho, of course.
The poetry and storytelling are compelling experiences, but ultimately I think they’re largely party tricks. It’ll be a minority of uses in 5 years. I far rather see emphasis in practicality.
Fair point.

I would argue that the general public does not give a single shit about the latest individual being accused of vague national security drama on any given day. A reporter possessed classified material on his personal laptop? Someone wake the President!

...oh, wait. The President's kid possessed classified material on his personal laptop too.

There's nothing really defamatory about it; if anything it might help his career. Nobody gives a shit about victimless white-collar crimes.

But child porn? You're radioactive once painted. That accusation causes actual damages.
I wasn't there in 2007, didn't get there til 2011, but looking at the facts think 2007/2008 era it seems like a juncture from one Google to the next, for sure.

The other, really major, shift -- which happened while I was there -- was Patrick Pichette leaving as CFO and Ruth Porat coming on. And then the subsequent "Alphabetization" which... it was so bungled and mismanaged... and it was clear at that point L&S were clueless about what was actually going on inside the company... that to me was when the company had seriously dramatically shifted in tone and structure. I think that was .. what... 2015?

Sundar taking over was just the formalization of that degradation.

For me, personally I wish I'd only stayed there for 4-5 years, and left around then. But before remote work there weren't any competitive options in my region, so I got stuck there for 10 years.
Yeah, I guess I need to throw away my passport.

It is no accident you only listed capital sized cities.

> I don't think you can use any adobe product today without Adobe Creative Cloud

The Elements versions of Photoshop and Premiere are paid for with a one-off purchase and are not part of a cloud subscription.

I use Creative Cloud photoshop but a while ago purchased a separate Premiere Elements license for video editing - this was cheaper than extending my CC subscription to include Premiere Pro. But I switched to (the awesome) Davinci Resolve for video editing when my copy of Premiere elements wasn't able to open video clips from just-released cameras and phones.
It's ok for journalists to withhold evidence they don't find trustworthy, but they can't just put in lies as a replacement. The story repeatedly says they have no idea what grounds there could be for a raid, and it's probably retaliation for the guy's reporting. Those insinuations should not be in there at all, and note that they did repeat some of the government's claims:

> Sources familiar with the matter say federal agents allegedly found classified information on Meek’s laptop during their raid.

Those are probably the same sources that told Siegel about the CSAM. The sources are trustworthy or not, you can't just pick which of their claims you like.
I wished it had been named "uBlock Neutered" or something that more strongly highlighted the relationship to uBlock Origin.
Yeah he did. "I care about the actual guys I am around, not the idea of the Marines or America. Those are too abstract."
Not everyone sees work in that way. Human psychology is complex and often times it's difficult to reduce workplace relationships down to simple economic relationships. You might argue that people should view all work relationships as transactional, but I'm not ready to agree with that (I think it is better to see coworkers as complete human beings), and in any case that just isn't how many people think as a matter of fact.
Proofs (both results and techniques) are a mathematician's ammo. It is not good strategy to wait for a war to start before building ammo.
Whoever put the poster up for display and reaped some reward out of it is liable for damages. Everyone else is just doing their job in the supply chain. We want supply chains to work for the good of the economy, which is a proxy for increasing availability and reducing prices of "goods and services" to the average person.
I did not repeat any assumption at all. I pointed out that if I were to accept your interpretation, then that is justification for asking for clarification, not making bombastic statements about it.
I was looking for a way to procrastinate on my thesis writing, maybe I'll convert it all to typst!

More seriously, I am really following this project closely, and now that it's open source I'd like to see if its possible to add the key libraries my field needs: mathpartir, and something like semantics? especially if typst can provide better syntax and errors!
I agree. However, it can be tough finding documentation how to use plain TeX. I find that increasingly I'm using OpTeX, which is a much smaller set of macros than LaTeX, simpler this use, understand, and reason about.

I think 3dbrow's answer is the correct response, but would also like to say is that economics is much larger than just monetary and fiscal policies at a state level. This is one of the reasons that behavioral economics has flourished in recent years, to help push back against some of the underlying assumptions that don't match human nature.

It also looks like Norway's economy is also having some trouble during this time [0], like many other nations. And finally, we need to be careful comparing specific economies like Norway to other nation's economies. Each country's economy is different, and prescribing something that works in an oil-rich, northern European country will probably not work in other parts of the world.

Ah, gotcha. I was focused on my use case of static text.

If your charting library runs server-side and outputs HTML/CSS, then it'd work fine, but most of that stuff requires javascript, and yeah, WeasyPrint doesn't have an interpreter. Once you're already paying the overhead of a browser, you're probably better off using a JS polyfill than piping through another tool, unless paged.js is an insane resource hog (which seems unlikely).
I do! If they aren't in some way public domain, then the authors should have a say, or be if the work is purchased.

I have a bit of cognitive dissonance on the subject of blog posts or articles in general, since those are kinda public domain? But I still think it should be opt in/out-able.

I realise I'm also a bit of a hypocrite since I've enjoyed playing with these AI tools myself, and I realise they'd be nowhere as cool if they didn't have access to such large datasets.

Yeah we accidentally had this blocking :/ It does only check once an hour though, and can totally be disabled!

We introduced this as we found a lot of people reporting bugs that had already been fixed + they just needed to update, or users on the sync server that were >1yr behind on updates (making improvements really difficult to introduce).

The issue with latex is that I don't personally use it every day, and I suspect many people are in that camp. When you just use it ocassionally, all that syntax just falls out of your brain, leading to a frustrating loop where you're constantly relearning latex.

In comparison, I use vim keybindings every day. As a result, despite how esoteric it may be, it's well ingrained into my muscle memory.
No? They just used the same reporting functionality everyone else had available from what I can tell. Twitter has, at least according to the transparency report also more often than not just straight up rejected the requests from the government (the last known report data shows that they only complied 40% of the time[0]). Twitter basically received a report, practically no different from if you or someone else clicked on the report button in their interface and then decided whether or not to act on it. There would be no consequences to saying "no", which again, according to their transparency report, they did more often than not.

So no, I don't consider that to be a free speech violation; nobody went to jail, nobody was threatened into being silenced by the government. By all metrics, that is not a free speech violation. Section 230 allows internet service providers (that's not just your ISP; anyone with an internet site that allows for user-generated content is an ISP for this law) to make their own decisions[1]. Twitter made their own decisions based on the information given.

If we're talking first amendment though, Twitter also had a rather notable history of butting in on lawsuits that actually would affect the government crossing a free speech boundary to give its own input on those cases, specifically to prevent the US right to free speech from being neutered[2]. (And with another great irony, Musk fired the person who was chiefly responsible for that because she also was the person that signed off on Trump getting suspended.)

EDIT: Also as for it being known - yeah it was. No social media site really hides this. Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, they all have openly discussed the fact that at some point, the government will just ask you to take stuff down. Each of those sites has their own limitations on what they allow. Reddit is for example rather compliant with those requests (since Reddits entire success is due to staying just below the surface of the attention of the news) while Facebook has been infamously flip-floppy with say, the Christchurch shooter video where they weren't sure on whether or not to comply with the request from the NZ government.

> The rest of Europe [...] mostly used Commodore 64s.

I don't think that's true.

I was a teenager in the 1980s; I had one (1) friend with a C64. The only other person at university with their own computer was, like mine, a ZX Spectrum.

The Spectrum 128 was designed in Spain by Investronica in Spain, and first sold in Spain:

https://medium.com/@uto_dev/the-awakening-of-the-spectrum-12...

In Portugal, they also had their own version of the Spectrum, derived from the American Timex-Sinclair 2068:

https://timex.comboios.info/tc2068.html

Poland had a version too, the Unipolbrit:

http://oldcomputer.info/8bit/unipolbrit/index.htm

Of course in Comminist times, there were many Spectrum clones in East Europe; this article lists about 60 or 70 different makes (not models, but brands, many with multiple models):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ZX_Spectrum_clones

In France there were lots of unique machines, the Thomson, Hector, Victor and others:

https://hackaday.com/tag/french-computers/

https://www.abandonware-france.org/ltf_abandon/ltf_infos_fic...

Tangerine's Oric, Atmos and Stratos line were also big, especially in France I believe:

https://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?c=79

https://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=1&c=226

There was even a Welsh machine, the Dragon series, as well as Camputers Lynx, Memotech, Tatung Einstein, Elan Enterprise, and many more.

In the 1980s there was a huge and bewildering variety of home computers in Europe, many but by no means all British.

And pretty much not a single one ran MS BASIC, because it wasn't very good. They all had their own.

I haven't even touched on the Japanese market which was just as diverse.
Almost all such systems are passed todays datetime as part of their prompt engineering. That’s different from when it’s model was created.
I've looked a few times, but have not seen any research on assigning provenance to the weights used in a particular inference run. It's a super interesting space for a bunch of reasons.

But the naive approach of having a table of how much each individual training item influenced every weight in the model seems impossibly big. For DALL-E 2's 6.5B parameters and 650m training items, that's 4.2 quadrillion associations. And then you have to figure out which weights contributed the most to an output.

I would love to see any research or even just thinking that anyone's done on this topic. It seems like it will be important in the future, but it also seems like a crazy difficult scale problem as models get bigger.
Ok, we've unstunned the mathematicians and added combinatorics to the title above.

Ask HN: Is the Dream Over?
As someone who aspires to, but never worked for FAANG, is the dream over?

It felt like a halo job, a good dream to work towards.

I know, there’s more to life than FAANG and it’s really not such a big deal for some to get a job there.

I wonder if such a time/place to work in tech will ever appear again, or is it over?

These are still special places, I suppose, but when the macro economy returns, will they be as desirable to work for again?

It’s a little saddening.
Wait until they find that censored parts of an image can be restored by AI.

Why would you hear about a confidential layoff plan??
No.

If Google does something on Chrome OS - the EU isn't going to scrutinize it the same way if MS does something on Windows.

Same, but opposite for Bing vs Google Search.
Dunno, is the position open? :) (I'm taken)

Probably I'd say something about increasing efficiency and focusing on our core product. I'd still use some buzzwords but would avoid using the passive voice as a crutch to imply it's not our fault, even though we've increased revenue and it was our choice to fire people.
How does that fit with Google business model? Will they make it recommend products or link to other websites? If Bard becomes successful and good at answering people’s questions, doesn’t that go against their main source of revenue (advertising)?
I cannot believe that was 16 years ago!
Not sure whether to read anything into this or not, but I got an email about this announcement from Google Nest, with the Nest branding right next to the word Bard.

Is the intent for Bard to be part of Google Home/Google Assistant in the future? That does seem like a logical use case. I've been waiting for a LLM to be integrated into a voice assistant for a long time now.
Once you hit 150 I think you're in the second "something weird" phase, the first happens once you pass about 50 or so.

From their announcement, that appears to be their plan. They said they will keep the site up for an limited amount of time. It's speculation on how long "limited" is. Months, years? There might be some clues with how quickly they shut down alexa.com "In December 2021, Amazon announced that it would be shutting down its Alexa Internet subsidiary. The service was then discontinued on May 1, 2022." which would put it at 5 months.
Capital sized cities.

There are plenty of cities in Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, Croatia,... where it doesn't hold.

You know, those that people from the cities you listed love to rent cars for their vacations, and enjoy what many locals can't afford.

I believe the issue is that were we to ban based solely on behavior and not country of origin, we'd have to ban every single social network in existence right now.

And probably many, if not most traditional media outlets too.

Maybe a few hundred other ad and personal information sales supported applications.

There are very few good actors on the internet today, when you evaluate them based on the behaviors you mention.
I live rurally and know the difference, and guess what: the forest I'm in the middle of right now was actually cleared to fields by settlers 150+ years ago. Since it hasn't been farmed for more than 60-70 years, it's reverting back to a more natural state all on its own. I have watched over the past 40 years how the fields have been filled in with more and more trees, and, yes, it's wonderful. Old growth forests can regrow perfectly fine when left alone. Nature is awesome in that regard.

If the US actually gave the slightest care about preserving the environment, then they should rein in the companies that are destroying the environment with no chance of nature being able to recover. Cut back on the amount of oil being pulled from the ground and burned, stop bleeding all the rivers dry because of century old water rights, stop creating newer and worse pesticides and stop building bigger and bigger SUVs for the love of god. That it's being done on softwood lumber is entirely a protectionist measure. It has absolutely nothing to do with the valuing the environment; it only matters because the lumber industry has a vested interest in maintaining high prices.
I can only interpret this as you not having read what I said at all. Especially that last bit, where I said I prefer your comment's nuance over the parent's lack thereof, and you pointed to my having added nuance earlier as evidence of pot calling the kettle black.

Of course, if you intended that as a compliment, it would make sense. But I apparently belong to the class of people you call "GOP apologists", and resultantly can read between the lines.
