Basically package.json but without package.json. IE no bundle JS is back.

There are still some issues, specifically with things like React, where it's kind of hard to guarantee if you use React, you'll get the same version if you use it in "react-relay" etc.

Deno has been very informative on this. They're adding package.json support to the runtime as a polyfill, but I'm hopeful they can swing back to import maps fully over time.

Actually, replication is very important. If no one can make new llamas, that would mean that facebook used some secret sauce in their training. Understanding publicly how to train these 'enhanced' models that shows performance of much greater models is a very strong motive.

And getting hid of the NC clause of the original llamas too, of course.

As of right now, there's trouble replicating the eval results of the paper, for example.
The anecdote is telling, and of course for the HN crowd we are as susceptible to cargo cults as anyone.

Personally I'm very interested in the survivability of scientific information. I used to think that this was a worry of the Internet age, but papers locked up in working group reports and journals are increasingly hard to find beyond about a 25 year window. There was a thread on HN in 2020 where someone was looking for a NATO working group report from 1960 and you'd think NATO of all people would preserve records...but there's a black hole.
Hype is ever-present, beware. OK.

ML was overhyped but has proven useful, OK.

But the new Generative AIs are fundamentally different. They are trained without any notion of a ground truth. They therefore have no concept of reality. They only know what is real-ish. They are psychotic. Temper the hype with the caveat--"but what it produces is often untruthful or unreal" and the hype is instantly clear.

This essay fails to account for why GAI is so different. This problem can only be solved with new methods for training that have as yet not been invented. Older style ML is based on using some ground truth and comes with a metric that measures how close it is to this truth. Not so of any of the new GAI, so continue to beware until researcher figure out how to measure truth--and good luck with that.
> Disguising a proprietary development under an industry standard umbrella is a typical move from Corporate Utopia playbook.

OK, but is that what's going on here?

There's the suggestion in this part of the thread that somehow this all inhibits user freedom. But these objections appear to come out of complete ignorance of what is actually happening. I'm pointing it out because it's the people who are most concerned about corporate manipulation that need to understand what's happening to have any idea on how to guard against it.

When I took Econ 101 it was very much lectured into me that these models are all based on a bunch of assumptions.

The thing I ultimately found pretty amusing that nearly every model had perfect information, many buyers, many sellers as part of the assumptions and almost every time I see somebody citing Econ 101 either 2 or 3 of the assumptions aren't there.

Shareholders are always pushing for higher returns, inflation or not. The thing is that normally Pepsi and Coke would be preventing each other from raising margins. In a hypothetical state of perfect competition, where Pepsi and Coke are perfect substitutes and customers have no loyalty, and with constant or declining marginal costs at scale, Coke increasing their profit margin by 1% without Pepsi doing the same would result in Pepsi eventually taking the entire market from them. And if they both raise margins, that should result in a third party taking the entire market. Obviously this isn't as good for soda shareholders as if all soda companies raised margins at the same time, but game theory is supposed to prevent that kind of cooperation, and keep every company at their competitors' throats.

However, if both companies had enough shareholders in common -- or just one big shareholder in the Soda Index -- then they sort of stop being competitors, and just become brands.

Days prior to the events both ABIN (intelligence services) and PF (federal police) warned Flavio Dino (minister of law & order) of the build-up and he did nothing (which is a crime). Everyone in the country knew this thing was going to happen.

We (the set of English speakers at large) don't have a universal definition of "intelligence" because we have only a loose idea about what it is.

That problem is even worse with "sentience", where we basically don't know what it is beyond the vaguest hint.
I think what's even weirder is that you consider those two things in the same ballpark. But my problem isn't with religion in America. That was a description of how granting things to people means you can't take them away even though those grants violate the highest law of the land: the Constitution.

Of course, the problem is that religion is a sensitive subject so when used to illustrate, this is inevitable. I couldn't think of another example where a grant to the people violates the Constitution but if there is, and you suggest it within the edit period, I'll swap it in.

All three of those are side effects of underpriced parking, not containerization.

Yes removing a few percent of parking spaces will make the mismatch slightly worse (since less supply means the price should rise a bit more) but that’s not the root cause of the problem
> I feel the number he generates via any procedure would be on the list since all of them are on the list

The claim is that all of them are on the list. The constructed number proves that claim false.

It's a proof by contradiction. If you assume there is any way to write an infinite numbered list of all reals, then Cantor shows it's possible to come up with a number not on your list. The construction uses your list as input, and given any list, can always produce a real number not on that list. Therefore there is no way to write an infinite numbered list of all reals.

It relies on the fact that real numbers have (countably) infinite digits, and therefore infinite "degrees of freedom" to be different. This may be one reason it's hard to accept. A "true" real number can contain infinite information in a single number. For instance, we can jam all of the naturals into a single real by just concatenating their decimal representations: 0.1234567891011121314151617181920212223...

This one single real number encodes the full infinite natural number line. That hopefully gives you a sense of why the "infinite digits" definitions of reals makes them qualitatively "bigger" than any number that has finite representation.

> It preys on inexperienced engineers

For a weekend/side project that needs db and storage, why would I spend days correctly setting up, securing, and provisioning all my infra when I could just pay a little extra and never worry about it?

When creating a new project I wear all hats. Project management, UX/UI designing, Frontend, Backend, Infra, User testing, security.

Having to maintain multiple projects that all bring income in as a solo developer wearing all the hats is very time consuming, this is an absolute godsend and I'll pay for the DX happily.
Hollow Knight is not a unity in-house game, it is a 3rd party studio. I did not say that Unity is not capable of great titles.

Unreal is the opposite end of the difficulty curve: where Unity is great for rapid prototyping but terrible for deployment, Unreal is terrible for prototyping and project bring up, but most of your problems for deployment are front-loaded.

Godot is certainly...maturing. It's not without its flaws. I help ship a very widely-used project with it (with a team of 3-5 actual 3D devs that work with Godot) that has many build targets—perhaps one of the biggest Godot projects in production—and I've definitely made cynical comments about it before on this very website. But as we're now in an era of Godot 4, I sincerely think that Godot—because it's built by people who deeply care about shipping great games and tools to build those games with as their P1—will wind up being far more successful than Unity in time. (At least, when compared to Unity's current trajectory and tools, compared to Godot's current trajectory.)
That would only happen if the site isn't properly giving the passkeys identifiers. Having single passkey/username combo is working as intended, but it shouldn't be overwriting different usernames.

It's all moot until we can agree on a definition of intelligence. I don't necessarily think it's relevant to the discussion whether an AI is truly intelligent or not. What matters is whether the technology is good enough to fool an "intelligent" human. It's good enough to do that today. I'd say we would have to train a "dumber" model that can respond with a simple "im not sure" instead of the typical responses we get today would make it even more believable, not less.

It's obvious it's an AI because it's too smart. It's too intelligent. Dumb it down, remove the AI branding, and it would fool the majority of the world.

There is the doctrine of "fair use" which basically says small amounts of copying are ok when you use them to explain something about the work in question.

What is fair use is up to the courts.

In a song if you copy part of the melody that really is the main thing and that really helps you sell your song, I don't think that's fair. Songs can not "explain" other melodies. So musical composition is a little different from text.
If congestion causes that many issues maybe they need a quota on the number of drivers, and could auction off 12-month driving passes on a rolling monthly basis. I just don't understand why anyone would drive in NYC. Everyone I know either doesn't have a car, or lives way outside the city and only drive to/from a nearby train station and ride into the city.

Out of curiosity, despite knowing all too well what to expect, I had a look at just one of your links, the "Alchemix" one.

What the... are we supposed to do with "self-repaying" loans, really? I clicked on "Learn More" under "Leverage your wealth" and was taken to a developer documentation page [1] with highly jargoned prose that give me even less idea of what this thing could really help me with. How the hell can I leverage my wealth, please?? Ok, just a loan, how do I get one???

Seriously here's a small excerpt from that site:

"For example, if governance sets the liquidate() cap for DAI to 20 million with a 10 minute cooldown, then the maximum amount of DAI that can be liquidated from all of the strategies used by the alUSD Alchemist over the span of 10 minutes is 20 million. The cooldown period is linear, so if the 20 million cap gets hit, no more DAI can be liquidated in that block, but after 5 minutes users can liquidate up to 10 million DAI."

What the actual... ??

If this is your example of a good crypto app we should be using, thanks but, no thanks.

I think the closest we might get to actually learning what it is like to be a bat is by unsupervised learning + a bit of manual labelling on top. A neural net could learn their states and dynamics, by training on a million hours of bat recordings. These representations will already encode bat states and values, so we just need the bridge to human language, which is easy to build with a pretrained language model.

This approach works for any species, neural nets can do it because they can do unsupervised learning. I bet we'll see pet translator apps popping up. Maybe we can monitor the environment by listening in on animal chatter.

"Footing the bill by having a bank account" is one of those very-hard-to-picture-or-feel things in days when most bank accounts are "free" and these banks have so many lines of business.

That's what I'd imagine, or maybe it's just that maybe otherwise savings accounts would pay a bit more interest or something?

I don't think you're getting my point. I can't do anything with the specs Framework publishes, I can't fab my own parts. So for me, either as an individual or a person buying equipment for my business, when comparing Framework with Dell or Lenovo, it's the same outcome: they're the sole supplier of parts for their devices. Thus, I don't really get a benefit with using Framework vs one of the other providers, especially when I could buy a new laptop (on sale or whatever) for the cost of a mainboard upgrade. I won't buy Framework devices.
> use this to tether and lock you in to their platform.

You could say this about Google's proprietary authenticator app in the past, but now that they support Passkeys, arguably the opposite is true.

Importantly, you can now (with FIDO CTAP 2.2 and tunnel services [1]) use an out-of-platform Passkey to log into your account cross-device, e.g. you can use an iOS Passkey to log into an account on a Windows Chrome instance via QR/Bluetooth.

There's absolutely nothing stopping you from providing your own implementation as long as it complies with the "hybrid transports" part of FIDO CTAP 2.2.

Wow, I’ve never heard of CircuitVerse before, it’s very cool!

Just the other day I was wishing there was a ciechanow.ski for logic design and CPU architecture. Their interactive book is a great foundation for it. This is exactly the kind of thing I would love to work on… really need to light that FIRE.
I don't know if this is the correct tactical implementation, relies upon having a cloud-based account that never goes away or gets disrupted in any fashion etc etc etc etc.

However! If you have built any product which has gotten traction, you know just how much of a pain auth still is in 2023. It will always be your number one customer service pain point -- either unable to remember the email address your users signed up with so they can't initiate a reset password flow, or not getting an OOB email to start said flow, and so on. Auth in its current state is a complete drain on company time, resources, and money. Extrapolating out, I really wonder what a raw cost of the world's total GDP is taken up by dealing with auth issues.

Any kind of breakthrough here would be such a net benefit to the human race as a whole. Even the half step of OAuth, even with all of its complexity and "did I use Google or Facebook or Apple to sign into this site?", even that reduced friction enough to be such a material benefit to customer service. If we can make signing into a service as easy as unlocking your phone, there would be a huge productivity jump.
Also, we may be able to create those packages from parts of browsers, which wouldn't be a re-implementation, and would benefit from the rigor of the standards.

I agree that it would be kind of silly to then put this in the browser. Instead, I think it could be used to build the native target.

And just to clarify my earlier statement, I'm not a fan of phasing out the use of the DOM in the browser— it has graceful degradation and accessibility features that are really important. It's more that there are people with existing Qt or JavaFX or Cocoa dependent projects, or whatever, who are now able to deploy to the web by implementing the UI layers in WASM/WebGPU.
One excellent book on consciousness is Mcginn's The Mysterious Flame [1]. I knew consciousness is a hard problem, but the book made it clear how baffling and utterly mysterious it is. I am still absolutely flabbergasted when I think about it (how on earth does consciousness arise from material "meat"?! [2] Where are pain and color and subjective experience really located in the material universe?). It also made me skeptical of people who think AI will be sentient [3] while we are in the complete dark about consciousness in biological organisms.
