>I guess having an AI summarizing the web would lead to less incentive to create the type of SEO junk that made searching in Google so awful in the past years.

Main part of Google's business is selling infrastructure for that SEO junk, AdWords et al. Sure, you meant the _other_ SEO junk, but from AI point of view both would be noise to be separated from actual content.
To be honest... it actually would be entirely unsurprising and perfectly workable for Google to sell off the top AI answers. Something along the lines of

Your query: "Google, show me the best place to eat in manhattan"

"Bard's partners at Manhattan steakhouse are known for their delicious chargrilled steaks. Other options include..."

Sure, Google won't do that today, but they didn't do ads at the top of search for a while... until they did.
Without transistors computers would have been greatly limited in power due to limits of miniaturizing tubes and their power consumption.
> Nobody really benefits when the leading process node is being wasted by a walled garden company on, mostly, consumer laptops

I would say consumers benefit if the leading process node is used on them, wouldn’t you?

I don’t understand the problem. The most efficient processes are always dedicated to mobile devices where the premium is worth it.
I've played with it for writing text and it was fine for some boilerplate definitional stuff but I could have copy/pasted that pretty trivially too. Maybe could have saved me a few minutes with some starting point listicle stuff too--but would have taken a bunch of rework and additions to be publishable.

Anything that's not straightforward? Even if not flat-out wrong, it lacks any real nuance.

I also played with it for some trivial coding and, again, could maybe have saved me a few minutes but nothing earth shattering.

So, yeah, maybe I'm doing it wrong but it's not remotely a go-to tool.
Speaking of "AI Battles", the conversation I'd like to see more is about how these 2 giants are crushing entire industries in their search for higher stock prices. Far more interesting than Bard vs. ChatGPT imo.

Virtually every nonprofit is run nearly the same way as a regular business. They still make profits, the only differences are restrictions around distributing income to owners and some mild accountability in how funds are spent.

None of us knows and I haven't seen any projections that Intel's gonna catch TSMC.
Thanks for your fork, I know a lot of folks love it. This might not be the HN style, But I'd suggest you a freemium microSaas approach. A lot of people I know want 1-click solution for audios and you might have great potential for that. That can add some $$$$ to your bank.
I mean, boo hoo. I taught myself programming by reading docs and stackoverflow while working head down for years at a company that had no other professional developers. 1.5 hours commute each way. I'd 100% have taken a WFH arrangement over that and I'd be just as good.
Not for compute, but for performance per watt. Raw compute is much better served by Intel/AMD + Nvidia workstation.
I don't mind having stuff update, I just don't like anything that steals focus / the cursor. When I am in windowsland I often find myself saying something along the lines of 'let me know when its my turn to use the computer'.

Sure, run your update. just shut the fuck up about it.
To reduce the storage needs, I think most people could be flexible with their power usage during emergencies, high prices or bad (local) production. For example, I can typically postpone big-screen movie nights, doing the hoovering/laundry, cooking in the (electric) oven, heating the (electric) sauna. For one day every now and then, it's no problem to turn off the convenience heating of the bathroom floor either.

You can check your power consumption during sleeping hours to get a base level. Then, on a normal day, I use 3 to 10 kWh but can fairly painlessly cut it down to 1.5 kWh if needed, which would be more feasible to store in a battery.
I’m sure this is doable, but I would certainly count it as “complex”.

But fundamentally, a given chip, dedicating a given area to the task, can only begin to decode at so many positions per cycle. And the more intelligent it tries to be about where to start decoding, the longer into that cycle it needs to wait.

And one nastiness about x86 is that you have to decode pretty far into an instruction to even determine its likely length. You can’t do something like looking up the likely length in a table indexed by the first byte of an instruction.

I wonder whether modern chips have pipelined decoders.

Are we sure that they were "mum blogs". Hooke have lost the SEO game to such an extent that it's almost always stack overflow clones rather than stack overflow.

I would not be surprised to discover that these "mum blogs" were nothing if the sort.
This is the new era of tech. The chilling effect is real, and a grave concern. Threatening to get someone fired over information? Pathetic.

Not at all. I'm not stating that smog is fine. I'm only stating the obvious: overall quality of life is more important than smog.

It's obvious, too, that no smog can increase quality of life, depending on the associated costs.

Is it? I think it’s using money, not market power.

Using market power would be threatening TSMC to shop elsewhere if they sell the same tech to others. I’ve not heard claims they do.

I also think TSMC is the one having market power there, but given that Apple pay’s a lot for them to build the tech, that may not be as large as one would think.

I think it's too early for AI/ML acceleration to standardize on an API. It takes a long time to figure out what abstractions we should standardize on before we can make a universal API.

Consider the whole history of OpenGL, Metal, Vulcan, WebGL, WebGPU...

It would have been a mistake to keep using OpenGL, and WebGL was perhaps a mistake from the beginning. It was the wrong abstractions. Metal and Vulcan are clearly better abstractions for GPU APIs, and it really doesn't matter too much that Metal is Apple-only because they're close enough that you can have a good Vulcan API on top of Metal (MoltenVK). That is, what matters is that we converge on the same abstractions, and those take a long time to get right.

Now in the end we've gotten WebGPU (which isn't only for web browsers btw, can be used from native apps too) that can provide a nice universal cross-platform API.
I agree with you: it's a balancing act.
My humble opinion is that it's about the AR endgame, and building out the technical capability to get there (via VR mixed reality, wearable devices, etc) AND owning the platform.
Training foundation models is very expensive. Easily a few million per model with no guarantee of success.
I don’t see the difference. When a religious person is being political their activity is making the state religious. The state is not a football for religious games and it undermines people’s freedom to encourage this behavior. Religions use the state to beat up other religions by changing laws, rules, school resources, and public staff.

One mistake I've seen people who are unhappy with GPT make is they ask it questions they already know the answer to, topics they are an expert in, and then tear down the response.

Try asking it things you would google for. I'm finding it to be a pretty good "I'd like an answer to this question, I don't want to wade through a bunch of google results trying to find the one that answers this question" engine. Sometimes it fails, but often it's really good.

This is probably why google has an "all hands on deck about AI" going on right now, I've been using google a lot less lately between bing and chatgpt. However, last week I noticed that Google Bard provides an answer PLUS gives reference links, which ChatGPT can't do.
As a developer who works with a lesser known ERP (Odoo, which famously has a terrible level of _good_ technical documentation online), PyCharm/co-pilot continues to blow my mind with how well it interprets my workflow when building out code.

It also does a relatively good job of writing unit tests.
"Creatures are not born with desires unless satisfaction for those desires exists. A baby feels hunger: well, there is such a thing as food. A duckling wants to swim: well, there is such a thing as water. ... If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world. If none of my earthy pleasures satisfy it, that does not prove that the universe is a fraud. Probably earthly pleasures were never meant to satisfy it, but only to arouse it, to suggest the real thing. ... I must keep alive in myself the desire for my true country, which I shall not find till after death; I must never let it get snowed under or turned aside; I must make it the main object of life to press on to that other country and help others to do the same."

- CS Lewis
I think that AI alignment has come to mean a whole lot of things to different people, and it's all under the same umbrella.

* Aligning with the user's intent, especially in the face of ambiguity

* Aligning with American left-wing/Christian sensibilities

* Aligning with safety/laws (don't tell people how to commit a crime, don't accidentally poison them when they ask for a recipe)

* Aligning with a company's public image (don't let the AI make us look bad)

I think these are all important things to explore, but because they get bundled together, to the author's point it makes it hard to work with them.

> A driver can respond to a visual stimulus in a few hundred milliseconds, and decide an action, such as making a turn. So the computational depth of this behavior is only a few tens of steps. We don't know how to make such a machine, and we wouldn't know how to program it.

IMHO, that makes no sense. Assuming we have a really large state machine with all many possible situations in a state of driving on a straight highway with a few vehicles with more or less constant relative velocity, determining if we need to make a turn is definitely doable in a few computation steps.
This is a fair point that should not have been downvoted. I was looking for yhe training code to train a voice for Arabic text after they removed the language from their list.

Hopefully someone standard defuse this model so that we can train the models that others aren't willing to train.

Two statements made by early "prophets" of the religion, statements that most members would like to forget. Actually it was Joseph Smith (the religion's founder) that said the moon is populated by people resembling Quakers. Joseph Fielding Smith, the church's "prophet" in the mid-1900's, said we would never make it to the moon.
Thanks, i appreciate this answer a lot. A) makes sense but I am a bit worried about IP issues?

That would be a waste and a shame. We should be satisfied with certain things like stable and equitable sharing of limited resources. Other things define being human in that we need to have pursuits, learn, build. A society without those is losing to machines by becoming them.
You have an inflated sense of your own ability. You think you are Notch or the guy who did Plenty of Fish and think you can do everything yourself. You're not that good. You need other people to help you. Get other people involved and you'll get further.
Yeah, I feel this. I'm not normally someone who notices these things, but on my 2019 MBP (the last Intel one), when using the iGPU, there's a perceptible sluggishness in VSCode that makes it fairly unpleasant to work in. Things get somewhat better if I force the discrete GPU, but that sucks power and really is only an option when plugged in.

I'm normally someone who gets 7 years or so out of a computer but I definitely am looking forward to replacing this with an M-series Air. :(

Not really though. Plenty of people live in the burbs, take the bus or bike to a station and then express lines can whisk you downtown in no time. I guess it depends what you mean by the suburbs, but a home I lived in literally had a farm next to it and I still didn’t need a car there. Was 15 minutes by bus or 10 mins by bike to the nearest station, and then 20km from there to central Tokyo which took 20 mins on the train. Car would mostly be an optimization, or for some, a hobby.
When a type of object is ubiquitous enough and has the ability to serve multiple purposes, even those it wasn't specifically designed for, it will inevitability be used for those purposes.
As a person from Ukraine, I love Vice for their coverage of Russia-Ukraine conflict at 2014. But their last interview with a Russian children’s commissioner felt like its not Vice anymore.

It's been out in the open for years. I was in SLC over a decade ago and there was this big shiny new mall that was completely owned by the Mormon Church.

I don't doubt that the Church gives some of its income towards legitimate charitable causes. But how much of that some in comparison to how much it spends on other things (like private businesses, political lobbying, land ownership for non religious purposes, etc.) is the real issue here....and I would guess the distribution skews heavily towards things that aren't exactly charitable or helpful for the poor and downtrodden.

The Mormon Church is nothing more than a social club that has a large for-profit investment arm.
Intel claim this should be by 2025 (once their 18A process comes on line). Obviously they could miss this target, but they say they're still on track.
In the United States (for instance) you wouldn’t be liable for the consequences of your actions because they wouldn’t constitute a crime, not because you’ve laundered the actions through technology.

Using technology as a means or medium doesn’t make the expression not yours. Whether I use my voice, a telephone, or an LLM I configured I am making the expression and I am accountable for it.
Google promised never to blend the ads with the content back in the “don’t be evil” days. Their first ad product was simple text ads that went on the side of the search results that maybe left some dollars on the table but actually kept the table open by looking squeaky clean legitimate.

Google has a massive valuation because whenever Wall Street demands “M0R M0NEY!” they can just increase the ad load. The thing is they and their investors depend on every penny of ad revenue they get and any innovation that reduces it, even just a little bit, is an absolute disaster for them. That’s why it is a ‘disruptive’ technology to Google…. It eats their lunch right now and the possibility they might be able increase their ad load someday doesn’t make up for losing it. I mean, shareholders can hit the SELL button and run in as much time as it takes me to write this sentence.

I was a professional gambler for several years. I eventually gave up because it wasn't hard to find lines that had been mispriced and profitable gamblers get cut off quickly. Coral in particular ran a very simple algo, once you were up £1000 they cut your maximum bet by 90%.

I became convinced that bookmakers strategy was to entice those with a predilection to addiction and then take all their money.
I’d love some super smart technologist in this forum to give a realistic and practical pathway to disrupting apple in the mobile or “computer” market.

Again, what do you do if you see high radiation levels? You just pack up and leave on the spot? Where to?

Yes, I was also a kid back in April 1986 living in a country bordering present-day Ukraine (in Romania), and as destiny had it a close childhood friend of mine died of leukemia in the spring of 1990 and I know directly of at least another kid that died of the same cause in the late '80s.
At risk of attacking a straw man, do you believe it's ever possible to have a "bad" behaviour? When an adult throws a temper tantrum to an airplane stewardess, is that also something we should look on with "comprehension of another being's emotional state", or is it in fact entitlement, selfishness, poor regulation, and unrealistic expectations? Is that behaviour something we can agree on as being "bad"?

I think that some of this debate comes down to what the ultimate purpose of parenting is— is it to be an eternal safe space for our kids? Somewhere that they can always feel understood and welcomed and heard, where they'll never be asked to consider if their feelings reflect an accurate perception of the world, whether their attitudes have shaped how they experience certain situations, or if their own words and actions have helped create a circumstance they're now frustrated by? Or is parenting about preparing kids to ultimately become citizens of the real world, where teachers, colleagues, bosses, neighbours, doctors, police, airline staff and others will require a certain standard of behaviour and will have basically zero interest in whatever your "reasons" are for why that standard cannot be met at a particular moment.

In truth, the answer is somewhere in the middle. The best parents can both be that safe and listening space, while also gently challenging us to grow and do better (yes, even into adulthood). But I don't see a lot of that nuance from many gentle parenting advocates, who sound much more hard-line, casting non-believers as being "set in their ways", and often responding pretty negatively to parents' fatigue with the extremely exhausting work that it can be constantly taking on and processing the emotions of everyone around them.

On the other hand, there are now a bunch of voices calling for a more balanced approach than what one might find on Instagram and Tiktok:

SSH is doing the port forwarding and Pinggy is just acting like a VPS node so one could just change the port forwarding and/or have NGinx/HAProxy/Apache on the VM could listen on 443 and the Android can listen on any port. Added bonus, the web server could cache the static content to avoid the earth shattering kaboom. VM's are not free but neither is Pinggy.
