>the person who wrote it knows that you have the knowledge to find the answer.

This isn't always true. The person who wrote it only knows what they taught, not what you have learned. The point of the test is to find what you have learned.

This is just a nitpick I think.
What about this url redirect is interesting enough to you that you think it should be widely known?
The logographic languages (Chinese really) all start with phonetic systems before the children then start memorizing the ideograms. There are dozens of chinese phonetic systems in use for teaching. The HTML standard has a whole element reserved just for asian pronunciation systems.
But what are you mostly "teaching" the LLM then? Mundane everyday stuff? I guess that would make them better at "being average human" but is that what we want? It already seems that prompting the LLM to be above-average ("pretend to be an expert") improves performance.
Vulkan isnt perfect but it’s the only open source step in the right direction and is enabling things like proton to exist.
You are, of course, right. Apple's UI was better. I was primarily an Amiga user, but also had a friend with an Atari ST around that time, and both their desktops were kinda ugly. Amiga got more professional looking with 2.0, but still no match for the Mac in terms of usability.
> Do you wrap yourself with tinfoil at night to prevent your neighbors Android from scanning your thoughts?

Do you think this sort of question is in line with HN guidelines? Nothing I said is driven by paranoia, it's driven by the reality we find ourselves in. As mentioned in my comment I've developed custom Android ROMs, my wife actually is an Android user (yes I'm in a house divided), but myself and my wife are also much more technology savvy than my elderly parents. If you cannot understand how those situations differ in our current reality, there's not much I can do for you.

When it comes to non-technical users that don't have good opsec practices, Android is a ghetto that basically guarantees your mobile devices are running malware, and the Apple ecosystem is nearly the opposite. Arguably the App Store is fraught with danger, but it's many orders of magnitude better about the impact of apps on user security and privacy than the Google Play Store. You may feel strongly in your support of Android and its ecosystem for other reasons, but it's pretty indisputable that it is less secure and less privacy-respecting, especially in relation to third-party applications.

>I know you’re being sarcastic but you’re inadvertently correct.

I don't think so, as you seem to have misunderstood my "bright idea."

It's not airlines I was talking about. They'd have nothing to do with it. Just as they have zero to do with security checkpoint screening now. Rather, it's multiple, private replacements for TSA, each of which would serve all the airlines/gates at an airport.

What's more, even before the TSA existed, the airlines didn't do the screening. It was a private security contractor hired by the airport.

It's, as you correctly imply, all about incentives.

In my "scenario" these hypothetical "competitive private replacement" security screeners are paid by the numbers of bodies it passes through.

And so I'll ask my sarcastic question again. This time specifically to you:

What could possibly go wrong?

Edit: Clarified prose.
Being one of the louder persons in the room when it comes to opinions, I’ve noticed that some of my colleagues are unlikely to challenge my views unless I explicitly ask for their input.

This gets worse if you’re a senior developer mentoring junior developers. They may lack the confidence or knowledge required to challenge you when you are wrong.

If you want to see studies on how detrimental this is to proper team function, look at Crew Resource Management in commercial air travel. There are painful lessons learned from many, many accidents. The rules are written in blood.
How do you get from the resurrection of corveé labor to an increased birth rate? I don't see the connection. If anything, I would imagine that taxing people's time as well as their money would only make the burden of parenthood feel heavier.

This is a bad heuristic, strengthening your priors based solely off rejection.

Nobody questions LLMs can write code. The question is whether Stack Overflow has a place in that future. The community’s rejection, and CEO’s ham fistedness, suggest the data he has are the data he’s got. Which makes him uncompetitive vis-à-vis e.g. GitHub or any IDE.

How sure are you of this opinion?
I play Overwatch on Linux. After you compile shaders (takes 2-3 minutes on a good CPU) it runs fine. Almost unnoticeable from a performance standpoint: I was getting ~120-130 frames at 1440p on my GTX 1050ti. On my new 3070ti it's so fast I don't even think about it.

This is an old benchmark, but still shows how good DXVK is for this title: https://youtu.be/voXc1nCD4IA

And yes, it still works with Overwatch 2. Did from Day 1, Blizzard must have had a Steam Deck dev kit or something.
I mean it didn't stop a lot of people from clicking through "scary warnings" to install Facebook's VPN app that hoovered up their data. I think you are vastly underestimating what people will go through for a minor benefit to themselves (in the case of the VPN it was low dollar amount gift cards).

FB won't remove their app from the app store but instead will add a new feature or offer a perk that is only in their side-loaded version and it will drive users in droves to install it.
If you are buying a new car every 3 years the $5000year price for a car is reasonable, but cars last for 15 years and so the total lifetime costs average out to less, and if you buy a used car you costs are much less. My cars are down to more like $2000/year now.

$100/month 12 month (2 parents + 3 kids). Of course it depends on where you live, but $100/month per person is a normal price for a monthly pass. If the kids are younger and riding with a parent the price is lower, but kids have places to go (particularity as teens!) without parents (which should be advantage of the city). When you consider the convenience of the car being ready to go when and where you want to go - unlike transit systems - it isn't hard to justify paying more (Read this as a rant about how useless most transit systems are in the US)
This is cool, now we just need to locate 1,000,000 A100-80GB equivalent GPU-hours. If we had a SETI@Home type project setup for this, it would be straightforward - only $50K worth of electricity for the 65B model.

Given the immense momentum behind LLaMA, I'm pretty disappointed that Meta won't just open-source it, but I guess reproducing it is better long-term.

We trialed a private SO instance at work, and discoverability was an issue (now we have to search slack engineering channels, check notion, and check SO).

If I could quickly ask, in for example slack, a question in natural language and have it query our private SO, slack, notion etc, I would be pretty game (providing this data remains private).
I wonder if these authors would have complained so loudly if they had known that other artists were looking at their output to learn how to create their own work? Absolutely none of them sprung from the womb, tablet in hand, to create their work ex nihilo, based on nothing other than their own entirely original thoughts.
> I've felt the UX is a big improvement over 10 personally

Meanwhile, I feel like every step since 7 has been been a downgrade.

> Feels like they've adopted some patterns from OSX for the better.

IMO, adopting patterns from OSX is a critical-severity bug, not a feature. Everything about the OSX UI is the worst thing I've ever used.

Microsoft is abandoning a large userbase that chooses to use Windows because it's not MacOS.

I hate having multiple windows from one program being collapsed into a single entry on the taskbar. I hate programs on the taskbar only showing their icon and not the window titlebar text. I hate how flat everything looks.

Screens are bigger and DPIs are higher, giving us more screen real estate than ever before, so why are we filling it with whitespace and hiding functionality?

I'm still on Win10, and I use WindowBlinds to make it look like Win7 Classic. When I eventually am forced to upgrade to Win11 when I upgrade my CPU, I'll be using WindowBlinds11 and Start11 to continue to keep Windows looking sane.

I think the regulatory pressure to consolidate is well known by the Fed leadership, and they've at least announced a desire to protect small institutions and do more to encourage de novo institutions[0].

But I disagree with the idea that Dodd-Frank in particular has much to do with encouraging smaller banks to consolidate, considering its provisions kick in at defined levels of capitalization. The practice of "charter stripping", which is when fintech/crypto startups purchase a small community bank for their Federal banking charter and discard the rest, probably has a bit more impact, and that's exactly what relaxing the rules against de novo charters would alleviate.

> No, firmware needs to hand off in the state the software you're booting needs. That says nothing about the mode the CPU needs to be in when it starts running firmware.

This assumes that "firmware" doesn't count against backwards compatibility, which isn't necessarily the case. Maybe Intel (or AMD) doesn't have a 100% monopoly on firmware to be confident enough that the CPU mode is an implementation detail. Or maybe some customers do indeed run their own "firmware" (maybe embedded?). No way to be sure.

My wife is struggling with constant crashes in the new Harry Potter adventure game on the Deck.

yeah, ok, reset would normally be held low - whether that's the presence or absence of a current isn't important. in the the old days there was usually a hardware power controller that doesn't raise reset until the power is stable. on those machines I think that just took long enough that the clock chain had settled out.

these days its more likely that there is a system controller orchestrating the bringup. potentially waiting for all the voltage converters and the clock generator to settle before raising the reset line. depending on the architecture it may not really be a simple pin, but addressed by the system board controller through the scan network.
People underestimate AWS but as long as their S3, EC2, SQS, and Lambda keeps kicking butt, it'd be really hard to displace them.

All roads ultimate lead to storage and compute, which I think AWS does a really good job in.
Sure, and I was merely clarifying that only last-gen architectures work. While I'm glad that SD works for you, if we are getting into it, I think that having no support on current-gen flagship models does equal broadly terrible software support and is more worth highlighting, since otherwise someone might assume they could just go pick one of those up and get a 24GB GPU on the cheap, especially in the context of LLMs (which is what the OP was asking about).

For RDNA2, you apparently can get LLMs running, but it requires forking/patching both bitsandbytes and GPTQ: https://rentry.org/eq3hg - and this will be true for any library (eg, can you use accelerate? deepspeed? fastgen? who knows, but certainly no one is testing it and AMD doesn't care if you're not on CDNA). It's important to note again, anything that works atm will still only work with last-gen cards, on Linux-only (ROCm does not work through WSL), w/ limited VRAM (no 30Bq4 models), and since RDNA2 tensor support is awful, if the SD benchmarks are anything to go by, performance will still end up worse than an RTX 3050: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/stable-diffusion-gpu-bench...
If you are filling up less than once a week/once every two weeks you are risking stale gas and extra wear and tear on an internal combustion engine when you do use it, generally increasing the risk of expensive maintenance and still much higher TCO.

For a remote worker with a vehicle that moves irregularly an EV is still cheaper and easier and more convenient. A battery charge doesn't "go stale" and you aren't going to get engine rattles and knocking or accidentally melted fuel lines from "old electrons".
I'd bet that what he, and the competition, is realizing is that the bigger models are too expensive to run.

Pretty sure Microsoft swapped out Bing for something a lot smaller in the last couple of weeks; Google hasn't even tried to implement a publicly available large model. And OpenAI still has usage caps on their GPT-4.

I'd bet that they can still see improvement in performance with GPT-5, but that when they look at the usage ratio of GPT3.5 turbo, gpt3.5 legacy, and GPT4, they realized that there is a decreasing rate of return for increasingly smart models - most people don't need a brilliantly intelligent assistant, they just need a not-dumb assistant.

Obviously some practitioners of some niche disciplines (like ours here) would like a hyperintelligent AI to do all our work for us. But even a lot of us are on the free tier of ChatGPT 3.5; I'm one of the few paying $20/mo for GPT4; and idk if even I'd pay e.g. $200/mo for GPT5.
Second hand forklift batteries are a cheap source for lots of storage capacity. They tend to be deprecated well before the end of their service life simply because they can no longer make it to the end of a shift without recharging.

Do test the cells individually with an acid tester, a simple hydrometer one is easy to take along when you go shopping. One important thing to keep in mind when buying any kind of battery is that for some batteries there are pretty strict requirements as to how they can be installed, what kind of physical isolation you have to use and how you need to vent any gases that they produce. These rules can easily disqualify some battery chemistries or configurations from consideration.
How about native windows/mac/ios apps instead of web?
Yea, that article is 100% about gambling.

Doing the research and buying a house/condo in the right area, at the right time, can easily outperform an index fund. It is probably harder to do than just plumping money into an index fund, but it is a good example here for how you can allocate your funds in a less 'conventional' way.

Nobody said that making money was easy. =)

This is not the first time Microsoft has done it, either.

In one of the MS Office generations, perhaps Office 2000, they introduced "Personalized Menus" as a major innovation in attempt to make the software less overwhelming. The idea was that the menubar menus would only show the most-used menu items by default, and hide the rest behind a "More items" at the bottom. It would then learn usage patterns and adjust the menu contents over time.

The result: Menu options disappearing seemingly randomly. Stuff you used rarely but relied on sometimes would suddenly not be where you found it last time.

The Ribbon later was kind of a "it's not working, back to the drawing board" reaction to that.

It's an interesting lesson in how "pseudo-intelligent" software can come at the cost of predictability. I once had to design tab nickname completion in a chat app, and remembering the MS Office anecdote I made it so that prefix<tab> would complete to the most recently active user matching the prefix, but that subsequent <tab> presses would go through the rest alphabetically instead, which also made a lot more sense to the testers.
Self-defense (which is what maintaining sovereignty within one's borders is) does not require moral high ground.
I've always wondered just how awful the run off from rain landing on solar panels is as far as those nasty sort of chemicals that we then find out are terribly carcinogenic or disruptive to human health. Same would apply to water condensation forming below the panels and dripping back into the canal.

Given the materials that go into solar panels and the proximity to water that will end up in either the food supply, or inside people; I would hope they at least run some tests.
I'm not sure why are you being downvoted, what you said is largely correct and appropriate.

The tyrannies going on right now are more insidious, because people can be more insidiously cajoled into compliance and more surgically atomised from each other, and out of their moral frameworks.

It's when a hot revolution happens that these highly visual acts of repression happen, as it's a feature not a bug to signal who's boss now. But if everyone already perceived and agreed to who's boss and rendered all their power to the service of the new regime, and there was no need to appease the new ruler's revenge thirst, then all of these struggle sessions would have been wasteful.

Performative struggle sessions are to be expected if there's an active resistance.
SO is a toxic cesspool, especially for people new to programming or just looking to learn. If ChatGPT and other AI tools can get the job done without resorting to asking anything from the SO “community”, that’s a victory.

I think DigitalOcean is a far better Lightsail implementation.

Both products trade predictable performance and support for predictable, low, pricing.

However DigitalOcean is a much slicker product. It's both more capable due to the wider range of services, and simpler due to not having all the AWS cruft. It's still not really appropriate for big services (we had outages due to poor DO network management, poor support), but great for what it is.
Twitter's mistake was to ever allow such thing being completely free in the first place.

Telco companies will charge fees if an entity (private or public) wants to send alerts over SMS to their customers/users. I can't see why Twitter had to be different other than "we must grow fast!" mentality of a startup hungry for MAU.

NYC Subway MTA has significant revenue (>5 bi/year). Sure they can pay Twitter if this is how MTA users want to be notified. Worse case scenario, they will add a $0.01 "Twitter-fee" into ticket prices.
It could also be that Valve subcontracts the CodeWeavers people.

It's a bit funny how this post contradicts itself by voicing a strong opinion (we don't know yet if it's loosely held).

I don't disagree with the general point though. The stronger someone supports an opinion, the harder it gets for less-than-vocal team members / contributors to point out flaws or incorrect facts. This makes it harder for potentially more knowledgeable people who lack self consciousness/"vocalness" to refute the false statement, which most often causes downstream issues of not-so-interested folks to believe in the wrong statement, simply because someone who seems self-assured and knowledgeable voiced it.

I think it boils, as most of the time, down to having a team of people complementing each other. If you have someone with strong opinions, make sure they are not the only one.
