> The main reason is I saw the writings on the wall. The industry was turning to pay-to-win garbage, and although I had already seen a similar pattern with arcades as a kid, that's not what I had signed up for.

I don't really think Nintendo has though? (Outside of a few of their mobile games, but that never seemed to be a significant part of their business.)
It's a problem where the Operating System decided to run a background task and caused the foreground task that the user was interacting with to develop UX issues. Arguably the game could do a better job of handing when the operating system pulls the rug out from under it, but managing the limited hardware resources is really the job of the operating system. So it's the blue dot.
That term is like the truck nuts of the software development world. Maybe they are consciously trying to filter out anyone serious. Kind of like why Nigerian Prince scams are so bad.
Every story has already been told.

The original comment is much better, please stop rewriting your comments using OpenAI.

Yes, it was obvious from the second sentence. The way ChatGPT structures text by default is very different from how most humans writes. Always the same "By using", "These X can range from" etc.

Padding your text with more words doesn't make it better, more words makes it worse, this isn't school.
Scale, Faiss supports a bunch more algorithms. A much larger scale.
Depends on your perspective.

- A scarcity based mindset would argue that more life is inherently bad, see Malthus.

- A longtermist would argue that more life at any cost is better because it increases the statistical likelihood that some good would happen even as it increases the scope of potential catastrophe.

- An existentialist would argue that a life of captivity, born to die with no right to self-determination is not a life worth living

- Socrates would likely argue it doesn't matter because the chickens and the cows won't examine their life to extract any meaning at all

- Utilitarians would say people are getting fed either way, so go for the most efficient means.

- etc etc

This is a question of subjective valuation, and as such will never have a definite answer. It will also be subject to whatever framework the reader subscribes to.

The questions surrounding environmental impact, scale, food pipeline stability, et al are more measurable and able to deliver a quantitative "better or worse" conclusion given sufficient framing. To my mind that makes them more interesting.
I'm not sure what it is with law enforcement in Santa Clara county...

Just last year - https://sanjosespotlight.com/former-santa-clara-county-sheri...
I’m making content for 11 year olds, perhaps I have more leeway than others. In my experience it tends towards riddles that map to certain interactions in a certain order, but obviously using it as a tool you can iterate however much you need to. Using ChatGPT directly as a DM has indeed felt lightweight to me (but still if I’m being honest, it’s absolutely astonishing that it’s coherent at all).
It's possible, given all of the macOS games out there, but macOS often decides to check on its own location, either to report the weather, or to update the laptop location for Find My, in case it's been stolen.
I wondered for a long time why we don't have standard built-in DC in building codes that could power our lights, and most electronic devices. Really the few things in my house that require full line voltage are all in the kitchen. Everything else has a transformer attached.
Yeah, I do wonder how much of this is "smartphone-induced" sometimes. I can almost "feel" my brain growing increasingly sluggish by the day...maybe a break is in order.
Fresh story this evening says it's already being used for that.

I've noticed a similar phenomenon when asking it to solve problems; if you point out a "flaw" in its proposed solution, even something that isn't wrong at all, it will cheerfully agree with you and "fix" its proposed solution, often making it worse or wrong in the process.
Yes this was a “bug”
by Google, it was a special google ads program
This gave me the theoretical foundation I needed to grok most of the recs on HN:Grokking Machine Learning book.
I don't know where you're from but you don't get it. Those three judges lied and said they all believed it was settled case law and they wouldn't vote to change it. A lot of people like me suspected they were lying and we were right. I respect honest religious people like Joel Osteen who says God wants people to get rich, but this isn't the place to get into that.
Unfortunately regex is the best we have. A bunch of if statements is also a whole less efficient and prone to errors than a regex statement. Once you start to learn regex, it actually isn't that bad. The challenging part is that a lot of people cut and paste not really understanding it and you end up with a bunch of bad regex examples.
Yes. This needs to be done!
there was a crusade against "booth babes" a long time ago that may have started with E3 and expanded to every other tech event by the mid 2010s, notably this push never involved the opinions of the "booth babes" in question, whose interest in being a part of those kinds of events are just as valid as the people that became uncomfortable with them

A lot of similar sentiment is ignored in other hospitality sectors and taken to much further extremes of femininity, it works pretty well. Deals are made. E3 would still have post covid demand too as people are interested in experiences that include that. The major studios would have wanted to be a part of that, because everyone would want an excuse to go.

The “inclusion by exclusion” philosophy was mostly a west coast phenomenon, whereas if you look at tech events in Miami - which contain the same people - you’ll see prideful attendance by all, including what would have been considered “booth babes” and other performers
Heavy books and scientific papers about anything I find interesting? Or about things in my work domain?
I’m thinking about getting something cheap like 1080ti or 2080ti. However, I have an Intel MacBook Pro that’s 12 years old, so it definitely cannot support Nvidia GPUs.

I’m currently learning on Google Colab. I’m considering getting a second hand thinkpad laptop, but would running a GPU locally take up a lot of energy, thus electric?
That sounds like a deliberate decision to maintain backwards compatibility.

I shudder to think of badly coded consumers of that API sticking that text into a fixed-sized buffer (with the right scaling factor between whatever Twitter considers a character and the actual bytes) and Twitter just wants to avoid buffer overflows like that.
I'm not really into the details like this post was, I liked the cfl bulbs bright white. I've been trying to find bulbs like that color in the led space. My go to is the home Depot branded led that have the coils in them, and I try to do bright white. They cost more then what the cfl bulbs did which sucks. The led lights also seem to not last as long, but I do think it's been getting better. I do have two wifi wiz bulbs and they have not died, been with them for 3 years. I say bring back the spiral bulbs and let the consumers choose.

What would you say was the query for this?
What do you think of it comparing to “Understanding Machine Learning” and Andrew Ng course?
Faiss supports FLAT aka not approx nearest neighbor. Also, all the vector databases use ANN too because nearest neighbor is hard.

Or are you referring to the ability to store data in addition to the vectors? In which case, you can pair any time tested DB with the index avoiding the hype of DBs that might be gone in a year.
very hopeful!
> I’m in my early 30s right now. I can feel my brain waning here and there--things that I used to pick up quickly are now taking a long time to settle in. I'm wondering why that is.

“One more new thing” is relative. You aren’t starting from the same position this time as the last, or the first.

That’s a good thing.

This internet stranger suspects what you’re calling intelligence is maybe something else. Rest? Motivation?

Don’t forget that your brain isn’t in a vat. (Probably. Maybe. No promises, not getting all philosophical here.) Take care of the whole organism.
Unfortunately or not, in some fields conda is the only sane choice because it can manage non-Python binary dependencies that Python packages may depend on. Some of those dependencies may be huge C libraries that are a pain to build, like HDF5, so if you're not using conda you'll be relying on your OS's package manager to serve your particular venv's needs - we all know what usually happens next.
I'm really looking forward to when this technology starts getting incorporated into video games to give life to the NPCs.

I think in the future there will be as much a distinction between old dialogue tree NPCs and modern chatbot-powered NPCs as there was between color movies and black and white.

Instead of just having a few lines to choose from, you'll be able to just talk.
I might have missed it, but they didn't really discuss how introners replicate. Does the host species accidentally transcribe the intron segments into new introners until it evolves a mechanism to avoid that particular trick?
OpenBSD is the most hassle free personal computing experience I can think of. My (now outdated, maybe) experiences with Linux involved:

1. Installing a user-friendly distro and scraping layer after layer of cruft off it until it finally performed acceptably.

2. Installing a cool minimalist distro and spending hours pasting commands from a wiki to build a brittle rice rocket OS that would explode if I sneezed at it.

I was shocked by how little configuration OpenBSD required in comparison. I always assumed it was some Gentoo tier wank given its elitist reputation. All the defaults were sensible. I just installed my favorite packages and went about life.

The same isn't true for FreeBSD of course.
Given that Vocode (realtime audio, llm, etc) came out a few days ago, could you speak to how yours compares to it?

I don't know about multiplayer, but I'd like a AI-generated text adventure / interactive fiction single-player experience. Not what Google released the other month though (simply generating images to go with the game's text).

Hello node, my old friend...
Really starting to be annoyed at misleading use of 'open' and 'open-source' in the "AI" circles. When it's not downright a decoy.
That is some interesting research study. I have never heard about monitoring blood glucose levels from ear channel up to now.

Undoubtely, this project has a huge potential for each and everyone of us. I really hope you succeed.

I will also share this topic to the ones whom I believe it could be looking for. Thanks for sharing it.
CBP can do whatever they want to anybody within a 100 mile radius of a border (maritime included) which is like, 70%+ of the US population.

Even though they’re complete fucking buffoons it’s a really good idea to not fuck with CBP, they get paid to fuck people up with impunity.
There's also regexr.com which explains in more or less plain English what's happening
yeah, I know that video

its also too reductionist, "can't help" is too reductionist. knowing when to shut up is important, but talking to police unnaturally like a robot at all times isn't the most helpful at all times either.
It's true, and doesn't hurt that it's very flattering ;)
Nukes do have goals, they share the goals of those who launch them. What I am afraid of not AI, rather I am afraid of what AI is forced to do.
Yes. I think there are multiple levels of LLM for each use case now.

The stuff that absolutely must run on 100B+ models can be pre-classified by something like Ada/Babbage. Attempts at arithmetic or dimensional analysis can be binned and shipped to a monster model. Anything that is more routine information retrieval needs maybe goes to a 7B parameter model.

Lots of models with lots of temperature levels/hyperparameters/etc is the only way to achieve the kinds of performance we are seeing. The secret sauce is looking increasingly like a huge classification layer.

Nothing you see in ChatGPT is as it appears. Lengthy conversations are managed with recursive summarization. Every conversational turn is potentially handled by a different LLM.
We don't do anything automatic like that (yet?), you will have to add indexes manually.

But I would have to say - modern day databases are so fast that you probably won't notice the performance of adding indexes until at least 100k+ rows in a table and/or you have very high read throughput on that particular table.
Very cool. I use a custom local UI as well, based on a fork of a similar project called ChatPad (https://github.com/deiucanta/chatpad). That also uses Mantine UI, and lets you create and save prompts just like chats. Data is stored locally using indexdb. I embedded it in an electron app, which lets me run it from my dock rather than a terminal. But what's missing is speech-to-text, so it's great to see this project has that.

There are a few drawbacks to local, I've discovered. For example I doubt the new plugins can be extended to beyond ChatGPT's web UI. Also, it doesn't stream response tokens as they're generated, which is a pain. I haven't looked into whether OpenAPI let you do that though.

Nice work!
Any recommendations for decent:

1) smart LED bulbs? (I have CREE, which keep disconnecting.)

2) bright as the Sun LED bulbs? (My office is very dark and I'd like something close to 10k LUX.)
> I really don't think Nintendo has though?

No, not in my opinion. Even what they've done with mobile games (ex: Fire Emblem) has been tasteful.

Nintendo is obsessed with family values, in an honest way that comes from a place of genuine good.

If you want to work for one of the very last beacons of hope in the industry, go work there.
>* According to a fun and non-scientific evaluation with GPT-4. Further rigorous evaluation is needed.

I am so sick of seeing these ridiculous claims made about finetuned versions of llama, with 0 scientific rigor behind them.

This is, I believe, the 3rd llama finetune I've seen posted within the past 2 weeks, of which all claim "similar to ChatGPT" quality, while not actually running it through a _single_ of the many openly available language model benchmarks.
Assuming Kings/Feudal Lords can be considered elites, we were taught that these systems formed as a means of protection and overall ability to not worry about a lot of aspects of life- raiders, setting up trade routes, negotiating prices, farming, etc.

I see a direct mirroring in today's corporations. If you join a big company, it's because you don't want to risk branching out on your own. You exchange lots of potential money for a steady paycheck, and you don't have to worry about things like finding customers, figuring out taxes, etc.

It's clear that humans need some sort of hierarchy, and I just don't see why we should be frightened of the people whose skill is organization/mediation between people. I surely don't want to play the power game with them, and I don't think it's because of their brainwashing?
Difference is that Ubuntu supports many kernels even when using LTS: https://ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle#ubuntu-kernel-release...
Thanks for the reply. The FAQ doesn't really answer my specific questions, but I understand that HVM is still young and there aren't answers to everything yet.

The FAQ mentions that every reduction rule can be compiled to machine code in theory. That's the core of what I'm asking - can reduction be implemented efficiently? I suspect it's not enough to have fast reduction rules, because that still requires a runtime that spends CPU cycles and memory accesses on reduction housekeeping. To be fast you need to minimize explicit reduction at runtime because that's not what CPUs are good at.

I guess an aggressive HVM compiler would find sub-programs that can be treated as leaf nodes and replaced entirely with compiled machine code. The machine code doesn't use interaction nets but it computes an equivalent result to the interaction net. This doesn't mean that reduction and interaction nets aren't used, they still serve a purpose for lazy evaluation and parallelism at higher levels of the program. The compiler would have to figure out where to draw the line between the high-level reduction runtime and the leaf nodes.

Anyway, this is just what comes to mind. I don't really know how HVM works, but thanks for sharing it.
How is that review an example that PCs and Macs are reviewed on a different scale? She gave the latitude a score of 4/10 which on her scale is considered "mediocre - has multiple outstanding issues" which sounds accurate (0/10 isn't an option on her scale so it literally couldn't have received that). Meanwhile she gave the MacBook pro a score of 9.5/10 halfway between "nearly perfect" and "the best of the best". Sounds like she used the same scale to me.
It barely needs to be more than a line in the ToS for the API. I'm sure Twitter already had a list of terms, and a way to ban people who misbehave. This is one more way to misbehave and get banned. Going right to an App Store would be insanity.
What toolbars or speed boosters are you talking about?

I don't remember any of that and Chrome doesn't even support toolbars.

Or am I misunderstanding something?

Chrome on Windows had a malware checker built in. Which you can debate whether that belongs, but that's not really bundling, just a feature. Which arguably helps protect browser security.
You seem not to be able to supply any content from the article you posted that directly supports your claim.
How to get around merchant fees?
Merchant fees are so ridiculously high and I don't understand why. This is mostly for credit card fees which are often 2-3% per transaction. It's insane. Has anyone tried building an alternative payments solution? Why didn't it work?

> Poor dude didn’t even last 24 hours.
> It really feels like

This is a really nasty locution, enabling an unscrupulous user to make an accusation without being pinned down to facts, because it's all a matter of their feels.

Either you have evidence that someone was bribed to make a blog post, or you don't. What you claim to 'feel' is irrelevant to anyone other than your family and psychotherapist.

To make an accusation of corruption, you absolutely must have evidence. Out with it, or STFU.
I mean there’s gotta be some reasonable price limit where you stop blaming the consumer. If each supposedly higher-quality LED bulb is $50,000 are you still blaming the consumer? Especially when the consumer has can’t realistically even know if they’re going to get a higher quality bulb or just a $5 bulb resold for $50,000.
> nice system for playing back audio you missed

For something that's in a similar space as this (seriously,
async meetings are pretty great), http://loom.com is pretty great. (don't work there, not even a paying customer, but even then it's transformed the way I work.)
I feel like there are too many definitions of "smart" for me to give a useful answer, and people are too different anyway so what worked for me might not work for you, but I'll just write down what helped me. You could probably start by asking yourself what you really want to achieve, and why, and it might help you more than anything I am writing here.

My first instinct was to tell you to read books, or listen to audiobooks, that you don't normally read. They can introduce you to new ideas, and imho that's a great way to start. By reading Heinlein, Ursula K Leguin, Ian M Banks or countless others and then thinking about them, I feel like I developed new frameworks that helped me think differently than before.

As an added bonus, they improved my vocabulary, which helped me with expressing new ideas.

As a second step, discussion about these books often brought even more insights, and here the improved vocabulary came in handy (even more so as I am ESL).

I found that tips like "never be the smartest person in the room" can be useful impulses (pushing you out of your comfort zone and meeting new people in that example), but should be taken with a huge grain of salt. In addition to that, most self improvement books and podcasts seem to be little more than distilled survivorship bias, so I've completely given up on them, but ymmv.

I hope that might point you in one possible direction, but in general I wouldn't worry too much about your brain waning in your thirties, I'm also at that age and have at times felt similarly. I'm pretty sure most of that is just our perception anyway ;)
then do you have better way to more rigorously evaluate chatbot at the presence of LLMs like ChatGPT trained on almost all Internet data?
I'd be very curious to know what are those packages. But this is not surprising, OpenSUSE is less popular than Debian, Fedora and Arch.
I could never figure out high dpi in openbsd and eventually gave up.

For headless installs openbsd works great for me.
It's really important for long term projects to keep access to all dependencies. Package lock files only guarantee that your inputs are still correct but they do not guarantee your inputs will still be around in 10 years.
Huh? Can you describe human’s creative algorithm? If not how can you say that ChatGPT is different?
"Oh, and it also appears in screen recordings, which annoys me as well whenever I want to demo something."

If only there was a way to take that screen recording into some bit of software and cover up this part of the image so that it no longer offends in this precious bit of content. It's not like you're going to post that RAW screen recording session to some place without doing anything else to it in a professional manner, are you?

I actually forgot about the menu bar in macOS ever since they gave me the ability to hide it like the dock. When I don't need it, it's out of the way recovering precious extra rows of screen height. When I do need it, it just magically reappears.

"It can also be a distraction for a specific group of people struggling with attention deficit."

If you are distracted by a dot, how are you not distracted by all of the other info in the menu bar too?
I think that’s not much different. Players don’t want to hear the local shopkeeper’s thoughts and feelings imo. It’d be tedious. They canonically don’t have any useful information for you. It would just mean that they take a long time to talk to and worst case require you to respond with a level of sequitur and politeness.

I could see it for waifus I guess.

I’m prepared to be wrong on this.
Can you more clearly articulate the precedent you are worried about?

Are you concerned that the allegations in the indictment are not even vaguely true or something like that?

We don't yet know what the charges are, but it is likely enough that they are in fact directly related to things that occurred during a political campaign.
> At probably no point in US history are fathers spending more time with their kids than today.

That seems very unlikely, if going back more than a few decades. When parents used to work on the family farm one could be around the kids all day.

> tell parents they aren't doing a good enough job

It's not about not doing a good job, it's about wanting to be near the kids when they're young.
Yeah, when I saw that I thought negatively of the product.

I'm not a "badass", I'm a professional that get's work done. This makes me feel like I'm not going to want this product.
Let's conveniently ignore that Tesla and SpaceX are meme stocks, akin to FTT or other illiquid assets.
