Show HN: Adzviser – Digital marketers' copilot for getting data [video]
Hello friends -

I spent the past 6 months building this search bar for marketers so that they can get their campaign performance data easier and faster. Currently they either have to manually pull those data from Google Ads, Facebook Ads, etc., or to use some connectors, such as Supermetrics/Fivetran, to automate the data pulling process and then build a reporting dashboard from it.

I believe that those marketing data and reports can be "one search away". So I built a software prototype that

1) has OAuth2.0 connections to Google Ads
2) translates natural language prompt to Google Ads Query Language
3) generates table and visualization output

> You can feel free not to care if the government has backdoor access, without a warrant, to every major US tech company, I guess.

How many ways do people need to tell you that it doesn't? It can send wiretap requests for specific accounts to tech companies, which needs to approve each individual request.

> But a lot of people did not know that the government had this,

It doesn't.

> and thus why they are glad that it was exposed.

Where? Which document says they have backdoor access to the tech companies. I'll give you a hint: none of them do. Snowden and Greenwald were both too stupid to read the documents they had obtained and claimed otherwise, but all the rest of the tech media, like CNET and the NYT, reported it correctly.

> Other people, though, actually care about warrants and privacy protections, from the government.

This is something I care deeply about. That's why I'm glad Snowden's documents and the declassified documents both agree the law is being followed.
I'm not sure I understand. I think you're suggesting that the metrics currently being used to assess emergence of new capabilities in LLMs are imperfect and potentially worthless, but I don't understand what is missing.

Using the example of 4 digit multiplication in the source paper: The researcher wants to know if the model has developed the ability to multiply two four-digit integers, so they generate a battery of such problems, e.g. "what is 4363*1285? output only your answer." The metric is what percentage of the problems the LLM answers correctly.

This is pretty much the same way a human observer would identify the same emergent behavior, and also how we assess it in other humans. It's not some contrived metric that's detached from the emergent ability in question.

I’m sorry you find it obnoxious but emergent phenomena are everywhere in math and science and as annoying as it is to you, it also happens with AI.

The quest for more generalized models boils down to studying emergent behavior because we could never prescriptively define all the parameters/behaviors/requirements necessary for such a complex outcome. We don’t even understand how the relatively easily observed interactions between neurons in our own brains result in emergent intelligence.

What’s so impressive about LLMs is they understand the semantics of some concepts so well that they can consistently produce higher quality outputs for tasks like “explain this complicated concept with a nursery song from the perspective of a pirate” than humans could, with approximately no instances of that task in their training data. That is emergent behavior and it’s a pretty big deal.

I've read it, multiple times.

Yes I think some rules could be cleaned up and improved for the modern age.

But when it's actually followed, meetings flow very well. I know because I did it for 4 years with weekly meetings.

The problem is most people don't want to follow the rules and don't want to listen that they actually help, so meetings are run terribly and ROR gets blamed.
"Emergent" doesn't mean sudden. (That's not on you but on them.)
Here is an analogy.

Two softball players. One can hit the ball an average of 230 feet, 40% of the at bats. The other can hit the ball an average of 210 feet, 40% of the at bats. The homerun wall is 220 feet.

One is a GREAT homerun hitter. The other has a poor batting average.

The issue is that the success measure is non-linear.

Companies often advertise open API access to increase usage and growth, and then cut it off once the growth from those open API access is less than the potential monetary gain from closing the ecosystem down (ads from their mobile clients, charging 3rd party clients for API access, etc). It's suck, but I'm actually surprised it took this long for Reddit to finally do it.
> I have no intention of replacing the Reddit in my life.

My belief/hope about Twitter is that it won't be replaced by any single competitor, it will be replaced by a combination of people being a bit less online and spreading out their traffic and attention to multiple sites rather than making any one their home.

If Reddit spends the next 5 years slowly dying because it's too big to die quickly, that's the best we can realistically hope for.
If you bothered to read your article, you would notice it said that they spied on foreign lovers outside the US. https://slate.com/technology/2013/09/loveint-how-nsa-spies-s... goes into more detail. One of them searched for the email addresses of an American girlfriend, but that search would have come up empty unless it was mentioned in an email from a foreigner outside the US being wiretapped.
Here is an analogy.

Two softball players. One hits the ball 230 feet on average. The other hits the ball 210 feet on average. The homerun fence is at 220 feet.

One is considered a GREAT homerun hitter. The other is considered a poor one.

The measure is non-linear.

That takes nothing away from the GREAT homerun hitter.
I think that's just because there are only 2-3 points between 10^22 and 10^24, which is more about the data available (and that they have just seen dramatic improvements) than the measures or models themselves.
People should not worry about Stack Overflow or Microsoft, etc., but about individuals who can train from scratch and fine-tune the models themselves, renting or bidding powerful GPUs is not particularly expensive, downloading millions of images is not expensive, curating the dataset is not expensive, and it is only because of these people that it is worth using models like SD. And as for the article, these individuals are much more difficult to put pressure on.

Depending on how the laptop is setup, it probably does (many are actually pretty "accepting" of slightly varying voltages because they're just charging a battery/changing the voltages internally anyway).

Well "understood" by conspiracy theorists. The rest of us living in reality knows this isn't happening or else we would have filed a lawsuit.
Reddit is incapable of being neutral on political topics. Anything even remotely to the right is attacked with numerous transparent tactics such as:

- Reducing their reach, they admit to this

- Stealth editing comments by the CEO

- Upvote manipulation

- Admin bans on mods who don't follow opaque, shifting and clearly biased rules

- Outright handing over subreddits to mods who agree with reddit

Reddit is not anything even close to a place for debate, because there is no free speech. After all, the CEO just jumps into the database and edits comments on a whim from a petty political debate.

Less than two years ago Reddit hired a transgender admin who was known for defending pedophiles (they vehemently defended a rapist of a 10 year old girl), and censoring any criticism of this person until forced to back down by mass protest. These positions are extreme left, not even liberals could support them.
Hmm, I don't think anyone with a passing knowledge of Japanese would look at that "hyun" and think it sounds Japanese ...

It's spelled that way because it was born before Korea's industrialization, when regular transliteration of Korean was pretty far down the list of concerns. Everybody just grabbed whatever sequence of alphabets that vaguely resembled the original sound, a tradition still continuing with names of people and companies.
Is kind of crazy how some comments can be confused as humans.
haha, pick your state:

Florida - Taylor Ray https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5wt8FpNy10 "LS Miata ABANDONED NEIGHBORHOOD TESTING!" LS powered full racecar straight piped miata, has title, inspection was going in and getting a stamp.

Oklahoma - no inspections at all, straight piped work trucks with rusted out frames are the norm.

Kansas - Hoovies Garage https://youtu.be/ZlwjXhdNd3Y?t=433 "Why buying an old Shelby GT350 race car WAS A TERRIBLE IDEA" Full leaking fuel racecar with no speedo/lights/windows, inspector doesnt bother to even see it in person.

Utah - M539 Restorations https://youtu.be/_a9rCI2zfPM?t=524 "Buying & Fixing Broken BMW E46 M3 5200 Miles Away From Home - Project Salt Lake: Part 1" tire shop "inspection station", only interested in plugging in OBD to do emissions, doesnt bother to come out look at the car. Car is broken (wobbly wheel, etc) plus cant even pass ODB emissions, gets temp tag anyway.

In most states recertification is paying some administrative fee at the dmv without anyone even looking at the car.
Ding vs Fabiano is +6 =10 -3 (including 2 wins with the black pieces)

Nepo vs Fabiano is +7 =21 -2 (including 3 wins with the black pieces)

---

I think a lot of what we're seeing is not about openings, but risk tolerance. Fabiano has incredible, and fighting, opening preparation. But what really matters is what happens after the opening. In high level chess you often find yourself in a scenario where you see two main ideas in a position. One gives you slight winning chances, but basically zero losing chances. The other gives you good winning chances, but the position will be complex and difficult to play - your opponent will also have plenty of winning chances. And Ding, in particular, seemingly had just zero fear of risk this entire match, which is largely what drove everything.

I'd also add this drives another common misconception in chess. If two very strong players both play a game while making a conscious effort to avoid complexity, you'll end up with a draw that has an extremely high level of accuracy. By contrast if they decide to enter into these sort of unclear positions, you'll see even the best in the world make mistakes, and even blunders, because chess is hard! So people outside the game see the mistakes as driving the results, and that's certainly true. But the reason those mistakes are happening is not because the players are just playing weaker, but because even the best in the world will make mistakes in complex positions.

This is how outrage spreads on the Internet, through "very online" communities, and gaming tends to have a lot of them. People who have an axe to grind against X (big tech company, a streamer, a game, etc) exaggerate the truth and make lots of paranoid points. These communities tend to be very big about solidarity so everyone else in the community parrots the message and through a game of telephone fake rumors whip up outrage.

It happens on HN a lot these days too on pretty much any Big Tech related topic.

> Under the current regime this is not a breaking change

It is. It would not be if the original `Point` definition was annotated with the `#[non_exhaustive]` attribute.

Or actually, that still wouldn't be enough, because the new definition introduces a lifetime parameter. You could call the new definition `struct NewPoint` and introduce a `type Point = NewPoint<'static>` alias to preserve backward compatibility.
Is there a particular reason to go ahead and preemptively blacklist every country's TLD you doubt you'd ever receive an email from? Would it not be better like if spam isn't expected to be an issue you might as well leave it open, then if you do one day receive a spam from that TLD, block it then?

Otherwise, let's hypothetically say you have a friend named "jacob peter" who really likes his initials (and doesn't understand the topic of this discussion), so he registers somewhere in Japan that lets him have dot-JP as his TLD. The only hypothetical way he knows to contact you is via your email server (let's also assume he doesn't do stuff like social media, phones, etc., so he can't find any other way and you have no way to contact him). If you have hypothetically preemptively blacklisted all of Asia's TLDs, then you'd never talk to him again for as long as you live, right?
It's not terribly complicated nor costly. And if the only thing wrong with the car is the ignition switch it'll trivially pass the "brake and light adjustment" (CA) inspection.

Taking the cash and buying the car back at salvage value is a no-brainer in this situation.
Yes, but observed emergence goes beyond performance at individual, easy-to-define tasks.

When using GPT-2 vs GPT-3 vs GPT-4, a human can easily tell that each is leaps and bounds "better" than its predecessor, with "deeper" understanding of the input and "more human-like" responses and reasoning. There is a strong impression that those models aren't just progressing along a scale, but changing qualitatively.

I simply doubt that any of the proposed metrics captures this intuitively observable quality. Furthermore, I claim that it is this quality that actually matters. We don't need a language model in order to multiply two numbers. Any clearly defined and algorithmically solvable (and thus readily quantifiable) task is trivial for regular software.
Hopefully they’re quieter…

You’d be surprised at the amount of people in, say, Europe, who don’t identify with their daytime jobs in the ways some Americans do. The mindset I’m talking about is something along the line of that there’s actual life outside work, and your job is used to pay for it, and that’s about it. In some societies it can be even perceived as rude and selfish if you’re trying to push and be competitive.

Interesting though they might be, these low quality static images give little away about the actual state of the software. How much of what is shown represents real software functionality, how much of it is heavily stubbed software (i.e. implies more functionality than written), how much are contemporaneous mock-ups (i.e. pixel art), and how much of it is not even contemporaneous?

Images 02 and 08 show slightly different desktop icon arrangements but utterly identical application states. Do the applications actually work and can they be used to create the documents shown? Or are they mock-ups to demonstrate possible functionality?

Image 05 appears to be, at best, a collage of images and not a user interface. The apparent differences in pixel pitch between the different elements looks strange and suspicious.

Image 10 is an entirely different operating system.
From my own experience running a server for friends:

No federation. For either version of minecraft you have an account you register with microsoft, which among other things provides you with a UUID, allowing users to be identified and authenticated across different servers. The various UUID authentication utilities are not necessary to set up a server, they are just offered for security.

Minecraft servers store world data, NPC states, and player inventories. All server data is unique to that server (e.g players cannot take an inventory from one game server and transfer it to another, or access worlds from different servers)

There are two versions of Minecraft: Java (written in java, only available on PC) and Bedrock (available on all platforms, and also allow cross play between platforms). PC players generally prefer Java as it was the first version and supports modding. The server side of minecraft Java is also written in java. Not sure what the GPU part is referencing.

Minetest in particular is open source, by the fact that the underlying game engine can be modified to create new functionality not available in the base game. In regular Minecraft there is restriction on what exactly a Minecraft server can do and what client-side modifications can be made.

Griefing is basically trolling in game: destroying other player's buildings, repeatedly killing them in game, etc. Some server moderators will allow this, some don't.

Hope this helps :)
This sounds more like the Dunning-Kruger effect than a true reflection of the justice system.

I could be wrong but IIRC the chat moderation can not be disabled on a per server basis. Microsoft forces it onto every server and if your account is banned because of something you said on one server you won't be able to join other servers, even those you run yourself.
