That is true but since we haven’t seen M2 macs that can compete with used M1 products it is hard to justify upgrading or even purchasing. Also no follow up to the Mac Pro at all.

It could be more like inflation is impacting Mac sales regardless.
Yes, frequently. I explained one such case in my edit (which I think made it in prior to your comment but perhaps not).
> The US's enemies will not put limits on their AI, it will cause their software to be better.

Absolutely ridiculous statement. We know that China is requiring every chatbot to be registered with the state. The idea that they're not going to put their own limits on that stuff has absolutely no basis in reality and it's not an excuse for lax regulatory frameworks of this technology.
I'm sure it's going to waste water treatment facilities, so not directly to the water supply (but maybe released quite near water supply intakes). There will be monitoring and so on going on for that to happen.

It wouldn't be all that surprising if their agreement with the water treatment facilities said they had to test very regularly. Like they could be required to hold the water and test the batch for PFAS before releasing any of it.
I'd like to thank the shoe company Wolverine for dumping so much of an untested chemical into the watershed that my town had to push for someone to figure out if it was actually bad for humans. Grand Rapids seems to be a magnet for new tap water inventions, we were also one of the first to put fluoride in our drinking supply.
The economy is based on too simple rules, hence unfair, hence this is what happens.
Someone (I have my suspicions who) seems to have attempted to subject HN to a fairly large volume of GPT comments yesterday. I count 39 GPT sockpuppets all primarily commenting in groups and a leader (whose GPT-written blog posts they commented on).

Can you define "heavy users"?
I think crossdomain.xml died with Flash but I could be wrong, does anyone know?
Lots of GPT4's test performance was from taking hundreds of runs and taking the most common answer (on multiple choice/fill in the blank).

That does speak to the increase you can get by orchestrating things more with multiple runs even in something as simple as take he majority. I'm assuming the multiple choice stuff allowed it to think in a scratch pad before answering or something as just taking multiple runs of a single next character A B C D for multiple choice would probably be similar to just lowering the temperature and taking one measurement.
To first approximation, Apple doesn't even make laptops. The iPhone completely dominates revenue, something like 80% or thereabouts.
Will Hurd is on their board of directors and he's a trustee with In-Q-Tel the private investment arm of the CIA, and he was on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. I think they will be OK for funding.
I'd argue that is a very simplistic way of looking at it.

There is always a narrative as to why a stock will go "to the moon". You say it's explicitly a pump and dump and it's not really, no. Look at GME, the idea was to restrict the float so that when the shorts got exercised, they would be trying to buy shares that didn't exist, creating exponential demand which would increase the price significantly. Not an impossible feat[0].

The "memetic" part of it is purely information exchange. That's all. If that's the barrier for entry for being considered a pump and dump, then I'd say anything which reports on a companys action could be a pump and dump. From Financial Times, to Bloomberg, to Mad Money, to StockTwits, to whomever else.

Apple devs don't need to travel to your home so you can use their software on your laptop or phone though.
So it doesn't really have any client side interactivity? Thought it does from the example and wondering what magic they pulled to achieve that, they really should write this in big text up front cuz it's a pretty big factor when considering this software.
> And publicity leads to bottling up comments that go against the grain or might provoke controversy leading to groupthink.

That's much easier to moderate than anonymous vile comments. It may not be exactly a civil discussion but you're still learning something about these people and their views.

I'm happy that there are websites with different cultures, so people can choose the best outlet to express their view instead of mudding the water here and turning it to flame wars or whatever.
Yes, and "digital cameras will never compete with film," ammirite?

I heard this a lot twenty years ago, and even a little ten years ago.
A Javascript parser have to do something like this. The text /a/ tokenize differently depending on where in the grammar, eg a/b/c is division (/a/) is a regex.
I would place Ruby in the Self/Smalltalk family, as it’s semantics are more similar to those languages.
I will actually rip a 5mg THC gummy in half, and then divide the half into thirds and take a third over time. This has helped to reduce my anxiety significantly. If I start to feel anxiety, I will actually eat a pure CBD gummy to counteract some of the effects of a THC strain that causes me anxiety.
You can't finish this form without selecting "country who's laws apply". The US isn't in the list so you cant submit the form. California and Illinois have GDPR-like laws. This is pretty messed up.
Maybe for you. I have no interest in paying for this subscription, but a trolley or tram or train would not solve my problem without an absolutely mind-boggling amount of infrastructure investment, and there are so many things I would rather pay for.

I've never enjoyed public transit, here or in Europe. It's a pain in the ass to some degree, no matter how good it is. An individual car is the epitome of freedom, so you would need to convince me (and others who like our cars) why we should swap.
My instincts may be way off-base, but if I was developing a protocol at the core of my product vision, even if there was only one implementation, I would a want an authoritative test suite. I wouldn't trust myself not to integrate load-bearing idiosyncrasies (and bugs, honestly) otherwise.
that's what's already happening
For this software if you change to any language it will still use the same architecture and technology, setup a http server and generate HTML and some client JS code to run on browser, just syntax difference or maybe performance. Curious what exactly is the part you think Python is dreadful at that this software contains? You can definitely say there are better performance language but I'm curious about if other factors.
Cracking down on what exactly?
Soviet takeover of Czechoslovakia in 1968 witnessed by John McCarthy [pdf]
John McCarthy (1927-2011) co-authored the document that coined the term "artificial intelligence" (AI), developed the programming language family Lisp, significantly influenced the design of the language ALGOL, popularized time-sharing, and invented garbage collection.
They said, Apple. Software developers, sales, legal, and so on absolutely can work from home and any company who wants us to believe their environmental claims would promote it.
Mastodon user count has mostly been a steady growth. So far it hasn't really failed at a high level. We aren't in Bitcoin territory, the network isn't really slower than it was a year ago even if number of user is much higher. It's mostly distributed among many instances.
I like to get mystical about it and think that entities like ChatGPT are Boltzman Brains. We — each and every one of us ever who lived or ever will — will always exist in the LLM somewhere, life without end, in ecstasy or eternal torment, according to how we have lived according to our own principles.
And one vote rarely makes a difference anyway so why bother voting.

Vote tactically if you want to kep a party out, otherwise vote for the party you most want to win. Every vote counts in short money if nothing else, and every vote counts for the continued pressure for PR which seems inevitable given that the only people against it now seem to be the tories and the labour leadership (but not membership)
FAAH inhibitors sound like a good idea .
The model is obviously massively better. and they haven't been using SD in any form since the test mode of v3. the models are trained from scratch.
Leaked document. What a document.
> That is true but since we haven’t seen M2 macs that can compete with used M1 products it is hard to justify upgrading or even purchasing.

It's not clear whether consumers do or even should distinguish between M1 and M2.

> Also no follow up to the Mac Pro at all.

Mac Pro sales have always been tiny portion of Mac sales and have very little effect on the big picture.
As they should, considering there are no guarantees of information quality coming out of these models. Anyone who thinks these things are an authoritative source on any kind of information is insane. Putting it in charge of teaching our children is just giving our kids an inferior service to save a buck.
Note that this implies that if anyone tries to build AGI that is not "safe and beneficial" by OpenAI standards, it's fair game to suppress.
If most of the population becomes unemployed, then society would need to change.
> No, the training data is, in fact, sitting in a large database somewhere.

I understand where the training data is. I didn't say anything about the training data.

And they don't mention how long it is until they spend $10+ million to retrain it and remove PII, if that is the only way they can handle it.
What Huawei’s CEO Thinks of America
At the amounts I'm talking about, with the heavier strains, you can't pack a smaller bowl. What am I supposed to do, pick out a little crumb and put it in there? It won't even be a deterministic amount. That's exactly the problem I'm referring to.
Fairly obviously.

I would much rather live in a world with 1 billion people than 7. Less competition for everything.

Imagine if the UK had the population of London. It'd be brilliant, we could all have enormous houses and our total carbon footprint would still be far less than currently.

If you're in the elite and you _do_ want the poors to breed you're frankly just a bit daft. The entire climate conversation is based on "we should have our fair share each", not everyone accepts that.
It will really be a shame if we got ssh-like public key authentication for the web, but can't self-host it.
The full spectrum definitely gives entirely different effects. The first time I took an edible, I split a 75mg gummy with a friend, and had a great time out in the woods. The second time, I took 15mg of almost pure THC gummies, and felt like I was going to have a complete meltdown (while still being out in nature, similar environment with the same friend).
I can't believe they're still selling so many of them. $220 billion yearly revenue is at least 220 million iPhones sold a year. Where are all these people buying new iPhones? I don't think they're really gaining market share in the US at least, so unless it's overseas market share growing people are just replacing their perfectly good phones from a few years ago for reasons I can't comprehend. I mean that's 3 out of every 100 people in the world buying an iPhone just in the last year.
The world is full of nasty stuff I dont want to drink. Filters are good.

Increasing production without filtration = increasing contamination in drinking water.

Increasing production + filters? well, if the filters are 100% effective, then my water is clean.
sounds useful for sandboxing
Human history sounds like quite a tragedy.
Gold is almost at an all-time high when adjusting for inflation. If it lost 2/3 of its current value that wouldn't even be very notable, pretty middling as far as historical value goes.
I use S3 for a simple app landing page and I use .well-known for deeplinks... Unless I'm misunderstanding your comment which I probably am.
Things to learn about the FediVerse from the 429 error:

* The FediVerse is lots of WWW sites. Some are WWW-hosting companies showing off, with all of the acoutrements of high-end WWW sites, including CloudFlare protection and lots of tweaking of the back end stuff. Others are one-person sites where someone has just set up the vanilla Mastodon/Pleroma/Pixelfed/Friendica/whatever software on a cheap hosted VM somewhere. There are lots of in-betweens. I have an account on two sites, at each of the aforementioned extremes, one with well over 20,000 users and the other with around 40.

* It's really easy to deny service to the one-person sites, and many of the low-end ones.

* Chaos.Social's about page explains that it's a couple of people running a WWW site in their spare time on spare hardware. That's a little misleading, as they've upgraded the hardware a bit. But it's still 2 people, with ~5800 users. For more, start at https://meta.chaos.social/resources .

* There's nothing global in the FediVerse. Nothing gets sent everywhere. Some commenters here can see the post cached by their local WWW sites where they have accounts. But I'm in the opposite situation: None of the places where I have accounts have cached that post, and since the Chaos.Social sysop put the 429 error in place to combat the server overloading, they actually cannot pull that post with just its URL entered directly, although simple tricks like searching for @jonty@Chaos.Social instead and reading the user timeline work just fine.

* There's nothing global in the FediVerse. Using the aforementioned trick, I see a different view of the thread from Mastodon.Scot to what I see from Toot.Wales, and both of those are different to what's seen from other places.
Definitely agree with this sentiment! Houses are affordable only in low cost of living areas where folks don’t want to live for a reason. Some of those reasons are subjective (not a lot to do in Ohio), and some are very objective (certain rural areas are extremely hostile to other groups of people).

In major cities where people want to live (slash where well paying jobs are), it is very difficult to justify ownership. For example, a $600k house at 7% interest will loose money over 5 years even if you sell for $650k. And not just loose money, but loose even more money than renting for like $4k/mo. (And this accounts for a $100k down payment!)

There is basically no way to justify ownership in these areas financially without coming into a significant amount of capital. And while you could afford it with a high cashflow (two high income earners, which is doable in major cities), you can get a nice apartment for $4k/mo that might have even more amenities than your house would have (like a hot tub).

I think this is a huge bummer, especially because owning an apartment or condo is becoming more rare as well, since renting is more financially attractive to property owners. This basically makes it much more difficult to build wealth, and allows large developers to make off with a huge amount of money.

So it does feel kind of hopeless in these large cities, even if you make a ton of money. You basically either have to accept taking a huge loss on ownership (unless you stay there for decades or get a great deal), or settle for renting.
I could also point out that according to stuff I've read in the past secondary infections are part of the mechanism that causes "cytokine storms."

I'm not really worried about mRNA per-se I'm worried about an unvetted delivery mechanism. Did you know its rare but accepted that some dogs get injection site tumors and we don't really know why? That would surely be a latent effect in dogs, why do we think it could never happen in humans who live much longer?
That still leaves out leg room, meal service, lounge access, and all the other things that somebody might want.

You sound very confident in your estimation of other peoples' motivations and skills. Do you imagine AWS solution architects coming to you directly with "you should pay for this service because it makes more money for AWS"?

I've done the AWS solutions architect associate level cert and I can tell you first-hand experience that in order to pass the exam you need to memorize a lot of AWS propaganda that was written primarily to optimize AWS profit, not to optimize customer satisfaction. How many of those solution architects take those materials with a grain of salt vs how many of them genuinely believe that crap, I don't know.
Same here, I am really glad about this ruling and hope it doesn't make it to an appeal.
Well, we need to stop using PFAS in things like drinking straws and footgear.

However, we still need PFAS for certain things like semiconductor manufacturing. The systems are closed, but neverthless you still need some.

You're thinking of how Mastodon does verified links. You could do something similar, provide a verified link on your profile to a file in an S3 bucket, but there's very utility (or risk) in that.

Mastodon also allows you to be discoverable via a custom domain, using .well-known as parent mentioned https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/webfinger/ https://www.hanselman.com/blog/use-your-own-user-domain-for-...
I hadn’t come across the this before, but in Dutch we have the oer- which is spelled out as in poor, so I somehow connected the dots.
I don't think plan 9 ever shipped with something like that. At least, my plan 9 systems don't have it:

cpu% 9menu
/fd/0:18: 9menu: './9menu' directory entry not found
cpu% menu
/fd/0:19: menu: './menu' directory entry not found

There's bar(1), http://man.9front.org/1/bar, but that was added in September 2022.

Googling, it looks like you might be referring to the Linux/Unix utility https://github.com/arnoldrobbins/9menu.
> Then again, who knows what lies in people heads too? Perhaps that the thoughts they hear are real and some people just can't process it properly which drive them to do strange things. We discount people's experience but there are so little ways to non-intrusively explore people's internal state. A true scientist wouldn't discount that possibility too.

One of my best friends was schizophrenic and he described the experience as being in the back of the car with someone else driving. A literal observer to his own life. That kind of scared me because I have strong internal dialogues with myself, especially if I'm in conflict over something. He assured me it's nothing like thinking or hearing your own voice; these voices are in fact someone else and the state of your mind makes the experience feel real.
That’s a good point. Though most of the people I’ve talked to about edibles are young people in California. So I suspect their experiences have been with legal edibles bought at dispensaries.

It's a shame your comment was downvoted, jeffbee. I thought it was insightful and I upvoted it. There has indeed been tremendous loss of knowledge with two (and counting) generations of engineers working on this technology and retiring with their work mostly lost to time, both at our national labs and in the private sector.

None of those companies attempt to operate any autonomous military bodies, they are purely suppliers or contractors. They are ineffective in the sense that they are simply following orders yes.
If so, it’s a shame this post is getting comparatively little attention. Hopefully the quality will be enough for it to make a big splash somewhere.
Well the problem is that they're ALL like that, it's some cartel bullshit.

There is literally no bank in my country that doesn't charge fat fees. Even credit unions want at least like 8€/month for just a starter account with online banking, plus the 1.5€ fee for each SEPA transfer, seriously. Back when I learned that this isn't standard procedure worldwide my mind was completely blown.

As for alternatives, there are pseudo-banks one might use like N26, Revolut, Wise and similar, but each one of those can at any point terminate your account for no reason, some don't even allow receiving money from accounts not in your name so you can't use them as actual bank accounts. They're not exactly a thing one can keep savings in.
It's not shallow at all, and the above comment teaches more than the wild speculation and anecdotes many of the other top-level comments have.
(Thanks for those links.)

That's closer to gatekept than open, IMO.
It's more of occlusion than simplification. Apple has historically removed data from their public financials that don't support the narrative, the most notable example being unit sales.
Like Pied Piper? If yes, there is an entire show on it.
The amount of arrogance in this field is fucking staggering. 50% of AI researchers think there's a 10% chance this tech makes us go extinct, and they rant and rave on the huge impacts this is going to have on all different aspects of our economy and society, but in the same breath they'll complain about government oversight.
Everyone seems to love this, or at least, they didn't stop flying.
