I'm pretty sure they're trying to suggest that LLMs in general are not useful because they can't do this type of thing. It's just the next iteration of goal post moving and should effectively be ignored.

Many artists and such that I've spoken to about AI work have similar comments about these systems because of the disdain for their existence.

The number of times I hear an argument like "well, they can never taste the tartness of a kiwi and feel the heat of the sun while at the beach" gets quite exhausting. For some reason, many people have this weird notion that this is what AGI means - exactly what humans do, and specifically within the same data domains of humans, but they don't consider working solely outside those domains as a possibility for AGI.
Earlier you said “people contribute without any monetary incentives”, and now you are admitting that they do need monetary incentives because there is no UBI.

Which is the truth?
Thank you for Redis, and for sharing your story with this article's author. Your artistic view of programming resonates strongly with me and I look forward to reading your books!
Is it weird that this makes me want to subscribe to YouTube premium less than before? Feels like I've been poised to give them money for a while, since so many people seem to like the service. Now I feel like they're challenging me to a duel.
I don't get why employees leak like this. They know full well that the company does not want to reveal info and the employees are told not to leak too. I don't get what they get by leaking. In this case the girl is not even getting any money. Even if they get money it will never be enough to cover for a 6 figure salary + stock options. Such foolish people in this world throwing hard work away. If you don't believe in secrecy or believe in revealing info for what ever reason, just dont join the company, it's very simple.
Sure, you can add a few tokens, but in this case they changed almost every token.
I asked it "are you using the palm 420 language model or the palm 2 language model?"

It said "I am not using either the Palm 420 language model or the Palm 2 language model. I am using a different language model called Bard, which is a large language model from Google AI."

Perhaps the people at Google saw this and made a manual correction? Hard to say, black boxes and all...

Well, finally people will just make things for the pleasure of adding to the knowledge in the world rather than trying to "build an audience" or "monetize my content" or whatever. No one is going to click through to your blog, so you have no incentive to shittify it.

We're going back to the original days of the Internet that HN users often beg for. Now only the true creators will create for the sake of creation: ars artia gratis.
In the 30's lots of large houses were divided into apartments. I'm thinking we're headed there again in some places. This time with McMansions being being divided into smaller units.
Wouldn't it be easier not to give kids phones or tables until they are a certain age? I feel like the only reason my friends and I aren't addicted to apps is because we didn't grow up having a smartphone available all day. I got my first smartphone when I was about 20, so I never developed the compulsion of having it around me all the time
Those are not mansions by any means - I see some multi-story homes typical of San Francisco. This is a peaceful little corner of the city, I'm not sure how you get "horror movie vibe".
I think he misunderstands the state of STEPS. STEPS was impressive, however it was far from feature complete compared to a modern desktop. They didn't (and possibly can't) solve for the essential complexity in modern specifications. eg. If they had to implement HTML5 with quirks the size would have ballooned, no matter how beautiful and clean the implementation was. And then there are drivers, like the pile of closed source poop that are the broadcom wi-fi drivers.

To really do it right, you have to open up all of the stack starting down in the hardware, and then socially engineer people to less complex and bloated standards. Without losing valued functionality. A very tall order.

I bet MSFT employees think unionizing is for "poor performers". But on a long enough timeline everyone is a cog.
Fail? They are launching the Fold 5 in a couple months now.

I'm still on the 3, I've had it for about 1.5 years and I use it every day. I love it, especially with the pressure sensitive pen.

It's still working great, so I'll probably wait for the fold 6 or 7.
Chinese spending has increased too.
This is genuinely exciting. I was a big B5 fan, and disappointed that the live action reboot never happened. This feels like the next best thing, and in some ways may be even better, since we won't need to rationalize why the actors appears so much older.

I am however curious to know who they will get to replace the talents of Andreas Katsulas, Richard Biggs, Stephen Furst and others who have sadly passed on. Still, I'm stoked that most of the original cast is returning, under the original showrunner.
I agree. I have nothing against the people sharing actual technical critisisms of the approach.
I tried asking it "what is the difference between the palm language model and the bard language model?" and its reply started off "The main difference between the Palm language model and the Bard language model is the size of the dataset they are trained on. Palm is trained on a dataset of 400 billion parameters, while Bard is trained on a dataset of 540 billion parameters." Which to me is even more interesting that what the OP commenter asserted.
Well, my hubby’s iPad and our iPhones don’t support ad blocking on YouTube, nor does my Smart TV, so…ad blocking only works on 1/5 of my husband’s devices and my own would actually be effective with ad blocking, for one…

(And before you say ‘just switch to Android’, I’m an iOS/WatchOS dev and a music producer for a living - if anything with the recent announcement of Logic on the iPad, I’ll be buying another iPads not reducing them…)
Look at graphviz. Their "dot" program satisfies 1 through 4. Your fifth wish is hard to satisfy.
I don't care myself — I'm living in one right now. Sadly the older homes in the city had only a single-car garage and I do woodworking.

It does seem though like we're heading toward either trailer park or mansion.

Seventy year ago they built real starter homes for newlyweds that did not yet have 2.4 kids. I'm not sure where those people go now. I have three daughters that are in their 20s now though so I guess I can watch and see.
I was looking specifically for the word "lapsed".
Not sure how you arrived at this conclusion. Mouser and Digi-Key are nearly identical in terms of UI. Search functionality on top followed by products & manufacturers and a list of products on the left.

I'm with you on that second point though - both websites look like they were designed by hardware engineers rather than "omg-UI-UX-is-so-important" SWEs.
Where was there any mention of "seizing"?

Cool, good on you.

I did write: "except for exceptions." which of course, there always are.

Even back in the day when you and I were getting our first jobs in tech in the mid-1980s. I'm sure you were very aware of the whole thing about getting pushed out of tech when you are 35-40, no?

And even back in the day, we also knew people mainly got pushed out because people stopped keeping up with the latest trends, langauges, etc, and if someone did, then that is the kind of person who will have a much greater chance of coding into their 60s.

Personally I stopped and moved onto other things.
California Ranked “Best State for Nature Lovers”
From the article, "Topping our list is the Golden State, California. Home to an unmatched nine national parks, 38,196,000 acres of public land, and a staggering 18,467 miles of trails, California is a haven for those who appreciate the great outdoors. Explore the picturesque coastline, which stretches for 3,427 miles, or hit the slopes at one of the state's impressive ski resorts boasting 38,484 acres of lift-accessible skiable acreage. Be mindful, however, of the relatively high pollution level (10.4 pm 2.5) when planning your excursions."

The getting away from the day job and serendipitous discovery are benefits in addition to meeting with people and socializing. But I think a lot of conference goers approach it as a sprint to maximize sessions and if that’s your goal online is probably more efficient.
I'm a Clearspace user who found this app via a post on HN, and I can't thank the creators enough. I have not fully extracted myself from use of Reddit yet, but it's remarkable how effective this app was at breaking my cycle of opening, scrolling, closing, and reopening less than an hour later. I've tried other screentime management apps, but it seems like something about Clearspace's approach with the centering exercises and the intentional choice to spend X minutes browsing changes your mental relationship with the feed.

I genuinely feel as though I am more present during idle moments and have reclaimed time to myself - truly to myself - during my weekends.

I am very grateful for Clearspace. Now, I just wish you'd release a Firefox extension so I can lock down Reddit from my computer too.

> The crypto markets may be looking uncertain right now but some are still making money from Bitcoin sales: the U.S. government.

Oh yup they do. The IRS also claims FTX.us must pay them $44 billions and because it's the IRS they get preferential treatment and are to be paid those $44 billions before customers get to get their money.

So it's all "fake monopoly money" and whatnots, but the US government is certainly enjoying very real money from all this, not to mention the tax on realized gains they're making too.
I’m curious how far you are into your career. It sounds a bit like you are treating presentations as a performance, which is natural to fall into but I think it is a bit of a trap time investment wise. If you practice improvising presentations you will eventually get good at improvising presentations which is a valuable skill to have IMO.

The guy did a much longer Q&A livestream afterwards and he did slightly roll back his critique. He admitted there were some advantages of Helion's approach even if he still doesn't think it is overrall the best way forwards.
I tend to agree, because if Google doesn't, OpenAI et al will. The real question is how does Google balance this against the loss in advertising revenue?
iphone 4 is timeless except for the bezels/chin/forehead around the screen. No wonder they've basically gone back towards iphone 4 mechanical design.

This is less spitballed presentation and more spitballed design. The latter is much much much worse.
Does YT detect that the ad wasn't played and therefore doesn't pay out for that view to the creator?

From an incentives perspective, putting the onus on the creators to convince their viewers to enable ads might be more effective, but on the other hand that feels kind of shitty to do to creators, so IDK if it's ultimately a good idea...
Technical sophistication is not equal to practical value.
it’s definitely not an exact solution, but i’ve been thinking about ways prolly trees could fit into CRDT systems. they essentially give you efficient peer-to-peer entry-wise diffs, so could be good for identifying conflicts after-the-fact. but if you store operations in a prolly tree, you end up hashing them all (plus logarithmic additional space overhead), so it might be a non-starter.

This is the fourth time I saw it in the news.

The first time was when they made the company and got a billion dollars valuation for a company that specializes in labeling data for machine learning.

The second time was when I was curious which LLM company is the one funded by the military. I was looking for an 'Eric Schmidt joins Google' moment except for LLMs. When I searched, I saw that Scale was the one that had contracts with the Air Force, while Microsoft was getting the more traditional military AI contracts that Google was declining (like Maven).

The third time was in an announcement from the whitehouse last week (https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases...) where they said "The Administration is announcing an independent commitment from leading AI developers, including Anthropic, Google, Hugging Face, Microsoft, NVIDIA, OpenAI, and Stability AI, to participate in a public evaluation of AI systems, consistent with responsible disclosure principles-on an evaluation platform developed by Scale AI-at the AI Village at DEFCON 31."

I looked at some of these on Zillow. I see attractive, modern homes, in a lovely neighborhood with lots of green space, at a reasonable price by local standards. Looks like a good value to me.
It appears very fortunate that India has increased oil exports to Europe. May have reduced this impact somewhat and saved lives.
The movement towards renewables and away from reliable, inexpensive fossil generation will continue this trend in years to come. Gas generation is increasingly economically unviable with so much competition from renewables, but it remains necessary in order to provide baseload capacity, fill gaps when renewables are underperforming, and handle significant energy demand (e.g. an extreme winter storm).
It makes up those numbers, I asked about the difference between the small and large PaLM 2 data set size, and it asserted the small model was trained on 540 billion and the large model was trained on 540 trillion. A different draft instead specified 1.4 trillion for the large.
It's incredibly stupid to leak like this, plus it's a real f-you to the people working on the stuff. If I were on a product that got leaked I'd be pissed seeing my unfinished work out there. Looking at this person's past leaks[1] their eagerness for approval is on full display, and it's just a bunch of details that do nothing but diminish the magic.

The only real utility leaking has to people is stuff like 'do I buy now or wait' but that can usually be determined by supply chain status dredged up by rumors sites. Sometimes it's best if we don't treat everything like we have to know it right now like every day is Information Christmas or something.

No problem, I'll start downloading them.
Density isn't the only issue - power usage is also a contributing factor. Because SRAM uses more transistors per bit, leakage of the transistors in large arrays is a significant source of power draw. In DRAM leakage of the single transistor per cell can be compensated for by adjusting the refresh rate.

MRAM and other persistent memory technologies might be used someday, but there's a lot of R&D work to get them to the same level of price and performance as DRAM. It's sad that Intel gave up prematurely (imho) on Optane.
It will tell you the information. Information wants to be free. Right?
Thrilled. Of course, I want to see Bard for myself. I pay for OpenAI to use unlimited GPT4 right now. Maybe I end up not having to do that, we'll see, it depends on how it performs. I wasn't impressed previously but with each update I'll give it another try.

I just need to somehow convince my large organization's IT team to enable the Workspace updates in Workspace Labs, which is likely to take some time. That's likely a few months, at least, but not the fault of google!
I don't like paying a platform that rose to prominence because of piracy, just so that I can watch IP created by other people without youtube inserting a really intense number of ads into the experience. And all the vidoes are ads anyway, it's just via sponsorships and affiliate links now.

It feels deeply icky
This is definitely a challenge. You can spend an hour coming up with great ideas for how to improve and then forget all about them as soon as you start the next project. I've seen that happen a lot.

Have you tried any solutions for this?
>Let the downvotes come.

Well deserved.
These things always cost more at first, so I agree that it's "overpriced" for the value it brings. That said, I think the practicality is that it provides all of the value of a phone and a tablet in a single device that fits in your pocket. It's a fairly large leap in the ever-growing list of other devices that smartphones are replacing.

I also like to think that long-term maybe they will have the ability to fold out along more than one dimension and potentially be dramatically larger than this, but that's just dreaming at this point.
They make it as a strategic move to push other makers to do better. That is why they only make the top tier one with the top price.
Why do you keep talking about building a mile of road? There are many more cars in the US than there are miles of road, and the replacement time of roads is at least decades.
How about binary before Python?
PinePhone gets longer battery time when suspended, but Librem 5 wins on active usage time. But yeah, they're both in pretty much the same order of magnitude.

The worst part is that people refuse to believe fact to levels which the best nazi propagandists would balk at.
tech workers making $250k a year
So then why not refer to them as countries - that's how they would refer to themselves (I'm ex-UK myself). Doesn't make any sense to say "I know they're countries but I'm just gonna call them states instead". The EU context doesn't make any difference.
I once worked a short stint at a company here in Toronto that was making weather probes for an airport in Japan. I did calibration, testing, and sealing little holes in the styrofoam enclosures. These probes had sensors, battery, microcontroller, and a radio. We made many thousands of these things that would be sent up on weather balloons and would eventually be e-waste landing in the Pacific. The whole time, as I saw boxes of these probes stacking up I was thinking about this constant stream of e-waste. It blew my mind that these sophisticated little devices were single use electronics, and I kept thinking that there really must be a better way to do these measurements.

One thing for me is that the youtube app stops the audio when the phone locks. I want to listen to a video while I'm driving, I'll even put up with the ads, but I actually can't do it unless I use an alternative front-end app - which is how I've solved the problem.

Restricting background-play is an active choice on Youtube's part to prevent what I would consider a basic function and hold it hostage behind their paywall.

That behaviour fucks me off such that I refuse to sponsor it.

Second, I just read the first chapter of WOHPE on Amazon. Wow. I have wanted to write Hard SciFi for a long time, but I've realized that I'm just not a fiction writer. You on the other hand are, sir. I'm going to see if I can get a print-on-demand version of the book.

The main reason they get paid is that their income is primarily from sponsorships and affiliate links now. Youtube premium doesn't block that, and it's a much more insidious kind of ad.
