I love my tube stereo. It would take an expensive solid-state amp to get close to its character, and it glows like a little fireplace :)

Side note - I have a hunch that the term “warm” was coined unconsciously. It’s not the actual sound; it’s the sound characteristic of warm glowing tubes, the sound of electricity fizzing through hot metal.
I wouldn't say it's necessarily weird, and I'd never call it unprofessional, but I have also been using CI of some shape or form since I entered the industry in the '00s. From home brewed scripts that were cobbled together internally, to CI servers on-prem, to CI servers in the cloud, and now back to on-prem. At work, I am literally in the middle of a massive migration of my teams multiple CI servers. We have dozens, sometimes hundreds of jobs kicked off on a daily basis + at least 2 dozen nightlies. Without CI, our team would be dead in the water.
Wish you all luck in the world. We need much more clarity in legal status of these models.
I don’t think it’ll work anyway. BMW has been stubborn on CarPay integration by not supporting it or asking a hefty price for “CarPlay preparation” (which is, as far as I’m concerned, mostly installing a WiFi antenna on the head unit), all because it would have cannibalized their revenue from map updates and other remote services (e.g. real-time traffic information). But in the end, BMW gave up and CarPlay is included in all models by default starting 2022 or 2023, don’t remember exactly.

We already do this. Braindead patients are not sapient, so we don’t treat them as such. In one sense, the entire abortion debate is about drawing this line. (Hell, childrens’ rights relative to adults are based on agency, which is a legal term that looks remarkably like sapience.)

Unless your house is ridiculously large I think you were given a sky high quote because the contractor didn't want to the job. I paid less that half of that for a full ground source geo heat system a few years ago.

Heat pumps are typically more complicated to install and size properly. You can throw an oversized gas furnace in any house for fat profits and no real HVAC design.

Contractors that aren't wanting for business can give you ludacris estimates for jobs they're not interested in. If you take it, great, they make a lot of money, if not they can schedule someone else or push you into an easier job for them.

I ran into this with a concrete job I needed done recently. The contractors were all booked a year or more out, and were quoting $20k+ for a normal concrete driveway. I found a paver installer who seemed much less busy, was able to do a full paver job for way under the slab pourers!
When I asked some of my partners what it was about me/my application that got us in, this is what I heard:

1. We had revenue, meaning we weren't afraid to charge. Many first founders are afraid of charging, and there is step-wise more validation having $100/month than $0.

2. We had a product that my partners could actually download and use.

Unfortunately, I don't have the video of how our actual interview went. I think that would've been very informative too.
I think the Oxycontin/Purdue scam is pretty typical of how corruptions that were once targeted by the government to intentionally victimize minorities in ways not large enough to wash away other gains in overall life expectancy have spread to a difficulty in limiting industries victimizing larger more diverse groups in ways that undermine the stats the US was protecting.
It goes back to my original point, that I suspect AGI will come from an AI that is essentially a master of all APIs.

We can go back and forth splinting hairs about whether inserting a compute module into a neural net (organic or not) grants geniousness or assistance, but the overall point stands; there will be a single interface that can take any variety of inputs and properly parse and shape them, push them through the correct "APIs", and then take the results to form a clear and correct output. Whether or not it used it's neural net or transistor adders circuits to arrive at the answer would be immaterial.
Thanks! HN is pretty magical. I think they saw https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35288534 and decided to fund it.

Well, this is a peculiarly Italian story, but regarding your statement. To what do you refer?
Interesting, i recall doing that in the early days of the docker integration. It is pretty solid now. Also might have been the weird way that project was setup, but i do not remember the specifics.

Also cannot judge it because you gave no examples.

Maybe your project is an outlier?
One issue with that is that prompts are not deterministic so "remembering what to search for" can potentially give you a different answer each time you enter the prompt.

This is what I do. I hate doing it, but it's for posterity's sake. I'd be lost without certain data. I have old virtual machine disk images that I've been using for years, ISOs of obscure software, and other rarities. Every 4 years I buy a new 4TB HDD and copy over files to a freshly bought disk.

I think it's pretty far from certain that an LLM won't ever "program on its own". I don't have much confidence that we won't have LLMs widely programming within 12 months. As soon as you give it access to a lot more context (your whole codebase), a precise prompt, access to edit and run code, access to a debugger, and then put the whole thing in a loop...you're pretty close at that point. Maybe it just won't be able to cross the gap, but I don't find it hard at all to believe that we could soon have AI agents taking in issue tickets and opening PRs to address them. And if the issue tickets are too vague, they'll ask for clarification. That's an insane thing if you think about it. Six months ago I thought this was a decade or two away, if we could do it at all.
That lines up with reporting from Casey Newton a few days ago where a handful of VIPs e.g. Musk, LeBron James, AOC were being used as weather vanes to understand what the algorithm was doing.

Show HN: rust-based kernel with asynchronous context switching
`rust-kernel-riscv` is an open-source project that implements an operating system kernel on RISC-V architecture with Rust programming language. The kernel leverages Rust's asynchronous programming model to schedule threads in both the kernel and user space, which makes context switching more efficient and eliminates the need of allocating a separate kernel stack for each user process.

There are 3 categories of people here.

1. H1B holders without an approved I-140. Their spouses cannot work.

2. H1B holders with an approved I-140 but not from a backlogged country. Technically, their spouses can work on an H-4 and EAD, but the odds are that they will get their green cards within months of getting their EADs, if not before. So it barely affects them either.

3. H1B holders with approved I-140s born in a backlogged country.

This is pretty much the only category impacted by the maintenance of status quo, and the impact is massive, since these people could be waiting 5-80 years for a green card, which means if this lawsuit had succeeded, their spouses wouldn’t be eligible to work for 5-80 years despite being in the US completely legally, in a visa category which is designed to provide a path to immigration.
Bit of a tautology, isn't it? I thought a crime was anything that it was OK to prosecute someone for.

The issue here is that people went looking for a crime for almost a decade, singling out Trump in a deranged crusade. Bush levelled entire countries. Obama put the foundations of the global spying apparatus in place. Biden might be on the verge of igniting WWIII with the policies of escalation that the US is employing.

Then in that background, there is speculation that Trump is going to be arrested for something related to Stormy Daniels after the levels of effort put in to pinning something on him. The people who feel that is appropriate can't serious. Based on what we've seen of the Trump saga so far, this is probably abuse of process. If that level of effort was put into another politician, they'd be in jail too.
That's not what OP was mentioning as the benefit. They were specifically mentioning the simplicity of a single common hardware base, not the openness of Valve.

Quantum mechanics is “just” fancy statistics. Unless we believe in some non-physical/supernatural phenomenon going on in the human brain, this sort of reductive argument works as well for the human brain as it does for LLMs (in other words, not very well. Sufficiently complicated statistics is what underlines everything, as far as we can tell.)
Technology launders abuse from police. You can see for instance breathalyzer technology which is closed-source, rife with bugs which misclassify, and provide an obfuscating cover for piggy action.
I’m honestly not sure. RLHF seems particularly tricky —- if someone is shaping a model by hand, it seems reasonable to extend copyright protection to them.

For the moment, I’m just happy to disarm corporations from using DMCAs against open source projects. The long term implications will be interesting.
> Again (and again, and again), this argument is the mysteriously recurrent "many people fail", implying that failing would be normal, instead of undesirable.

That doesn't really answer the question. Why is the immediate expectation, when AI is in its infancy, that it must outperform humans in the ability to be original and always factually accurate? That's not a reasonable expectation when there are not only no examples that it's even possible, but we ourselves aren't original. There's a reason why both computers and human beings have supervisors. What about AI suggests an intelligence that can or should be free of supervision?

> It is also the mark of unintelligence. As such, it is a warning alarm.

That depends on a matter of degree. You and I parrot things all the time. We neither have the time or capability to not take information for granted and pass it along without fully understanding it. What we do is best effort, which is far more achievable than "perfect" computation.

For instance, I could ask you to paint us a painting of literally anything, and chances are your painting will be based on your experience of what a "painting" is and what you paint will probably be fairly unremarkable on a grand scale, no matter how much you try. I don't mean this as an insult, because it applies to virtually everyone and it is what it is. Of course there is the possibility that you will prove me wrong and paint something that no one has painted before using a style or method that is completely new, but I won't bet on it.

In such a case, you'd be "parroting" what artists have been doing since time immemorial. Does that actually devalue your art? Or the art of practically every other artist who mostly painted things based on previous ideas? I don't think so, but that's just me.

> From a calculator you do not expect "«pretty»" reliable, but just reliable. From a human you expect faulty computation because of the economization of resources, but you know it can reason.

Yeah... because calculators don't reason anything.

> The expectation is that of a reliable process bringing to the output.

What is your best example of how the current generation of LLMs aren't reliable enough for a wide variety of tasks?
Good read. Clearly lays out how toxic it can get on the extreme end of the left. Yikes!
> That's true, of course, but it's still interacting with a real human being. An adverse interaction, but at least a human.

Actually, not entirely. Some of the stories that really made me raise an eyebrow were people who claimed that they were video-chatting with "the girl." An important piece of context is that these men reached out to me because they found pictures of the woman they believed they were in a relationship with on my website. They wanted to know if the woman was employed by me or if we could verify certain details about her to try and make sense of what they had gone through.

Of course there were people driving this interaction. But a video chat? Obviously it was faked. What I think that AI advancement is going to allow these scammers to do in the future is possibly have extremely convincing voice chats, because when I probed about these video chat claims often times the scammers would have excuses about the microphone not working etc. so they were clearly just feeding pre-recorded video.

Anyway I've gotten the sense by your reply that you are under the impression that we are having some sort of debate or argument. I'm just making conversation and sharing my point of view and experiences. In my opinion I'm not sure the Internet "should" be anything in particular.

"But the human will learn"

That depends on the human, what they're trying to learn, and how it's taught to them.

Some people with brain damage, learning disabilities, other cognitive issues, with poor teachers or learning materials, or with too difficult a task will not learn.

It might be useful to view AIs as akin in some ways to brain damaged humans, who might be good at some tasks but deficient at others.
Interesting, since I looked last year, Chrome has started raising the caps internally on buffer allocation to potentially 16GB: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/2bf3e35d7a4...

Last time I tried on a few engines, it was just 1-2GB for typed arrays, which are essentially the backing structure for this kind of work. Be interesting to try again..

For our product, we actually want to dump 10GB+ on to the WebGL side, which may or may not get mirrored on the CPU side. Not sure if additional limits there on the software side. And after that, consumer devices often have another 10GB+ CPU RAM free, which we'd also like to use for our more limited non-GPU stuff :)
Roughly: OpenAIs don’t employ enough jarts.

In other words, the groups of folks working on training models don’t necessarily have access to the sort of optimization engineers that are working in other areas.

When all of this leaked into the open, it caused a lot of people knowledgeable in different areas to put their own expertise to the task. Some of those efforts (mmap) pay off spectacularly. Expect industry to copy the best of these improvements.
> You automatically assign the ability to "reason" to a human even when we make mistakes aplenty. But when a machine does it, you said that is a proof of unintelligence ... requirements applied only on the AI and not humans

Whereas I apply them requirements also to humans? :)

I must correct you, to help understanding: I do assign in general (I hope, to all individuals but for an n-th standard deviation) «the ability to "reason" to a human»; that «we make mistakes aplenty» is overriding (or under-using) a faculty which was present but, in those cases, was not exercised.

You write «when a machine does it»: but can the machine do it? Can it criticize its ontological contents, its built concepts? Humans can, and pretty much must - deontically. The machine should.

> we have to put in extra effort

Exactly. We can, many don't, and the machine should - just like people in general should.

> the problem you are trying to say

While people do not always exercise critical thinking, they should. Verifying, trying your ideas and concepts, making them solid, should be a constant effort. Humans have those modules, which makes them apt to possibly be employed as "predicting machines" (which is a definition of intelligence), or "things you can ask things".

When you build a machine that produces outputs, they may be "for fun", so every generator goes that satisfies the "fun" based "performance indicator", but more normally you will want the output to be reliable. So, the "verification" features are crucial.

> Something can be both undesirable and normal

In engineering, I hope not :)
