It's tricky to extrapolate from Google. It's fairly obvious that there are things Google could do to fix this problem such as to penalize ads. They are never going to do as long as their main income is those very ads they would need to penalize to address the search engine spam problem.

In general, a big part of why Google is struggling so much with search engine spam is that they are such a dominant force in directing web traffic that they're effectively re-shaping the web around them to optimize for their algorithm. If you had any sort of diversity in search, this would be much less of a problem because the economic incentives would be much smaller.

I don't think it can be taken for granted that any search ecosystem would struggle in the same way Google has been struggling. I think their SEO-problems is a direct consequence of their monopoly on search and a lack of real competition.
The error is not that someone read what google presented. The error is that google presented something wrong.

I know absolutely nothing about the type of stoves they use in China, or in the US for that matter, but remember that experiences may go out of date quicker than you'd might expect.

Before I moved to the UK I had literally never seen an electric stove in my life, much less used one, as gas was ubiquitous in the Netherlands. I'm sure you could find it, but it was rare. In the last few years things changed rapidly though, and when I moved back last year there were a number of apartments that had electric or induction) stoves.
I dunno, I feel like if you're a novelist, it behooves you to do at least a passable job of representing half of human existence in your works. I see that more as an incredibly low bar to pass, not being 'perfect and morally ideal'. For me a flawed author is someone with wooden dialogue or unsatisfying endings, not a lack of interest in representing certain kinds of human beings authentically and seriously.

Ok, so invert the genders.

"X is written by a man, from the perspective of a man, and it's about his fantasies. Why wouldn't men respond to that?"

As I said, you can't please everyone. There is no universal audience.

Wokeism is just an attempt to control culture. If your ideals align with the State you will be praised, and if they differ you will be criticized.

The woke criticize books clearly aimed at adults, while simultaneously complaining when people express concern that books involving blowjobs and sexual contact with minors are being peddled to children. Receipts: https://twitter.com/ChelseaClinton/status/165168529373124609...

Children should not be exposed to this disgusting filth, let alone encouraged to read it, as is happening in schools.

But the same debate is not necessary for adults. An adult can decide whether or not they want to read something, and if they are offended by something they can simply ignore it and move on.

And regarding perspective, the author is Japanese, so it makes no sense to view his works through a lense of Americanization, and the bulk of Murakami's work is 20-30+ years old, so it is presentist to look at it with the ideologies of the current time.

You are talking about what laws should be passed and what is a good idea. I have no disagreement with that and I never supported the war on drugs. But if in the past the government had the right to regulate arbitrary harmful content then what changes in federal laws or constitution that prevents utah from passing similar laws?

I don't have to agree with the policy or law to say the state is within its rights.
(1) This is like a new prolog in which the rules are linguistic rules (rationales), and the distilling step-by-step is a way of learning the rules. Call the new prolog lprorat (learning programming with rationales).

(2) Hypothesis: The success of distilling chain of thought learning is that it provides a pseudo large context window. The input pair (label,rationale) allows the student LLM to mimic having a large context window (the context window of a human agent that informs the system by providing the rationale data). So it reduces the embedding distance between words for which entailment is difficult to obtain with short context windows.

(3) The above hypothesis suggests to perform the training process in two phases (a) and (b):
(a) A small model is used as a teacher, this allows the learning model to connect d-distant words. (b) A larger LLM is used as a teacher, the training process continues with new data using the rationale provided by a stronger larger LLM.

In phase (a) the learning system learns to infer d-distant words relations, in phase (b) the system is already prepared to relate (2*d)-distant words because it have developed the necessary skills phase (a).

(4) The two-phase approach can be directly generalized to a multi-phase approach using three meta-parameters: the number of teachers, the relative power of each LLM teacher, and the percentage of data in the training set for each teacher.

(5) Need of pruning: From a geometrical point of view, each phase allows the system to strengthen relations between distant words, increasing latent spaces density promotes part of the latent space getting disconnected, that is creating outliers. Pruning should reduce the risk of outliers that promote hallucinations. Outliers are the germ for establishing relation between very distant words but the rationale data perform that function well, so removing outliers don't pause the learning pace.

(6) It is clear that the rationale data enhances the attention mechanism. This suggests modifying the attention mechanism by giving appropriate weights to the attention with respect to the rationale and self attention for the tag.

(7) It would be desirable for the authors to release those small and powerful LLMs. Therefore giving individuals the power to enter into the SOTA realm and allowing us to create new low latency and cost applications with enhanced privacy.

Company I worked for switched from Lotus Notes to Office365 7-8 years ago. The email client was decent but weird, which was a lot better than Microsofts. And the chat client actually worked, unlike Lync for business (chat on multiple devices was completely broken).

Main reason for switching was that it was going to pay for itself, as Notes was expensive. But we also had hundreds of applications in Notes with no replacement plan or budget to do so, so they barely got rid of any licenses.
The problem I see in many projects, is that they start out as - or implementing - a microservice architecture. I think this is backwards; you should start with a monolith and separate out concerns into microservies if it makes sense, not because it's "cool."
While there is a massive amount of overhype this cycle, I would still say that most of the hype comes from newly minted AI "experts" that were recently, e.g., cryptocurrency experts, or NFT experts, or epidemiology experts, or politics experts, or "integrity in gaming journalism" experts, or whatever, etc.

When people like Ashton Kucthar [1] are the equivalent of shoe shine boys and taxi cab drivers giving stock tips, then I feel the hype has gotten out of control.

Don't get me wrong! As someone who researches learning and intelligence, I think these developments are pretty neat. But man, the amount of people who are defining intelligence down to the level of a chatbot or predicting the impending doom of mankind are ... getting a little ahead of themselves.

So many experts.

> Why are some things only effective if we believe them to be so?

Are they though? I used to think so until I skimmed Wikipedia article on placebo some 5 minutes ago. According to the article (as of now), there's been plenty of research on placebo done in the past couple decades, which revealed... the most mundane reality you'd expect: placebo effect impacts perception of symptoms, and can only do as much as a transient change in perception can. Apparently, the old studies that ascribed all kinds of big effects to placebos, were failing to account for regression to the mean.

Now, I haven't checked the sources, but I'm inclined to believe it - it feels right. The possibility of placebos being meaningfully effective on the targeted condition itself felt like bad writing[0] - the same phenomenon should be giving us all kinds of superpowers, which we don't see. I mean, when you get drunk, you may tolerate pain better, but your skin doesn't turn into kevlar with steel inserts just because the drunk you believes you're impervious to knives and bullets.

For low-level stuff, Apple used to have a developer tool named “USB Prober” for logging USB Traffic (https://developer.apple.com/download/all/?q=IOUSB), but that seems to have been abandoned.

Google tells me you can use WireShark to capture packets (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/95380) after disabling system integrity protection (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/124875)

I wouldn’t know whether that works today. Also, it wouldn’t be “time-series coordinates”, but that information would be in the data captured.
The issue with TOTP here is it can only provide a 6-digit code, whereas an app can show for example "Do you want to authorise $6.21 at McDonalds?" before sending a transaction through. Grudgingly, I will accept that for most of the customer base this is probably the correct solution.

If there is a move in this area, I predict it will come from something like EU regulations on interoperability (we already have rules on Open Banking to some extent) - something to bear in mind next time the EU's approach to regulation is criticised as "anti-tech".

> We take your user’s privacy very seriously.

This phrase makes me puke.

It is used by all privacy rapists: Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Apple etc.

If you take "user’s privacy very seriously" just don't collect any data.
You're crazy. If we're hallucinating and sharing notes, then we could also have Framework lobby to pass a law that requires all laptop makers to use their spec. We could coerce the president of every country to pass an executive order demanding as much. We could do it by force, even. We could starve children and superglue their fingers to soldering irons and tell them they only way they eat is if they produce competing mainboards. ....just because you can imagine doing something doesn't make it in the least bit realistic. Don't be a hyperbolic asshat.

Framework is open-spec because it's good for business and customers. I would hope their investors knew exactly what they were getting into--and that's not a charity. It's a good business built on principles of reducing e-waste and reusing perfectly good parts year over year instead of vendor lock-in and planned obsolescence. It's a better product and better UX. And like Amazon showed the world, that matters. Open source has nothing to do with nor does it imply charity. Please stop misleading people by equivocating.

Oh thanks! Frankly the most annoying parts of it were that it made it harder to reach for the overflow menu (which was previously the right-most icon) and that it auto-opens the sidebar on hover delay (which then requires clicking to dismiss).
Sure, if you're looking to write some commercial application you don't want to recompile it twice a week and then you go for something stable with compatibility guarantees like RedHat. Plus it's a big company and it fixes security bugs and you can probably get some kind of guaranteed support (never bought it but I expect it's true).

I think the whole purpose of RedHat in a way (and of Ubuntu LTS) is the limiting of change.

If you WANT change though, Fedora doesn't compare well to rolling distributions IMO. It has lots of updates but with lots of inconvenience. Rolling distributions just take change continuously forever - there's never a discontinuity so they're very easy to use.
Imagine a solo developer, writing an app that is composed of packages/libraries/crates from the get go.

Now in one place such an engineer uses pandas 2 in other place pandas 1 but it is just one single app. What does it say about the quality of engineering and mental focus of such a solo developer that cannot accomplish same thing with the same API - OR cannot refactor the already written code for Pandas 1 to Pandas2.

Sounds to me like more of an engineering discipline and engineering mindfulness problem.

Fix is simple with a simple rule - everyone has to use the latest major version, always.

Micro services do not make any sort of people's communication go away, they move it to different boundaries. From dependencies to the business layer/interfaces which is lot harder to navigate and negotiate.

Imagine needing a field in your downstream service. They refuse because they don't see it their domain and you cram it on your side and what not. Ask anyone working in micro services environment and they'll tell you it is a recurring issue every quarter if not more.

I was wondering the same thing just a few days ago.

It is actually quite trivial to add an audio-stream (or streams) with the director/writer/actors commentary to HLS or MPEG-DASH and surface it in the application UIs.

I saw a very nice use of this in the IPL (India Premier League) cricket match yesterday. JioCinema is the streamer offering the match streams and they have an option to change the camera view. Of the multiple cameras in the stadium, you could pick a camera angle that you wanted. It was pretty cool.
I can only offer anecdote and no concrete measurements. But I've used bad terminal emulators and good ones, and I can really notice the difference. When the letters appear even a few frames after they should, there's a definite (if mild) feeling of discomfort. Like some kind of sensory-motor "friction". I can still get work done, but I'm just a little less happy.

There was another HN thread recently where this topic came up, I posted about the human nervous system as a prediction-feedback system where we should expect even small latencies to have a bad effect. And someone replied with the interesting insight that 10-100ms latency feels like "you are using the tool", while <10ms latency feels like "the tool is an extension of your body". (I'd quote the whole thing but I think there's an HN rule against that.)

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35055607

I'd certainly like to see an experiment where typing latency could be controlled artificially, on a high refresh rate monitor. It would test what level of latency/jitter has a perceptible effect on objective typing error rates, and subjective ratings of "satisfaction". Ask them to compare two text input fields where one has more latency than the other, see what degrees of difference are noticeable, to determine the "resolution" of time perception for fine motor tasks. I would wager that for good typists the "threshold of perceptibility" is as low as 10ms, and perhaps even lower. But that's based on my own intuition and experience; I'd love to know for sure.

Via .NET, which has been cross platform since 2016 or so (before that Mono was the preferred framework).

For the UI bit, I'd recommend Avalonia UI (which is what Ryujinx uses as well). It's cross platform, has been out forever (2013 - from their FAQ page) and even runs on embedded devices.

Rider (by JetBrains) has excellent Avalonia support via a plugin and is much better for other .NET stuff over Visual Studio for Mac.
It also works with other alert sources like DataDog or Zabbix.

I've been interested in playing with the Bluesky/AT Protocol API, and I found out they allow you to subscribe to the Bluesky firehose via web sockets.

I spent the last couple of days figuring the API out and put together this dashboard to allow people to see what's going on inside Bluesky.

By default, the events processing is set to 25% of all events. I found that when Bluesky is busy, the number of calls I have to make to get the details about the events causes you to get disconnected from the API for a short while. But it's fun to watch for a little bit!

There are still plenty of things I want to add to it. I love having this level of access to the data. I wish Twitter was still the same.

(Interestingly, blocks on Bluesky are public. I'm still debating whether to include those in a column.)
>If all the money goes to the park, none is going to the poor people. Seems like you are advocating for a system where rich people get to go to public parks, and poor people get nothing.
