Hey friends

We wanted to express our heartfelt gratitude to all of you for your support for the EVA AI-Relational Database System last week [1]. The feedback from the HN community has been truly overwhelming :)

We were planning to make an HN post based on these features we have since added [2], but @jonbaer thankfully beat us to it :)

- Using ChatGPT/LLM + Whisper (Open AI + Hugging Face) models to ask questions based on videos/tables etc. You can check out the notebook here [3].

LOAD VIDEO 'russia_ukraine.mp4' INTO VIDEOS;

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW
TEXT_SUMMARY(text) AS
SELECT SpeechRecognizer(audio) FROM VIDEOS;

CREATE UDF SpeechRecognizer
TYPE HuggingFace
'task' 'automatic-speech-recognition'
'model' 'openai/whisper-base';

SELECT ChatGPT('Is this video summary related to Ukraine-Russia war', text) FROM TEXT_SUMMARY;

- Joining structured data tables with OCRExtractor model output

SELECT * FROM MyImages
JOIN LATERAL OCRExtractor(data) AS T(a,b,c)
JOIN LicensePlateCSV B
ON FuzzDistance(T.a, B.label) > 50;

- Vector index support for similarity search [5]

CREATE INDEX reddit_sift_object_index
ON reddit_object_dataset (SiftFeatureExtractor(Crop(data, bboxes)))
USING HNSW

SELECT name FROM reddit_object_dataset ORDER BY
Similarity(
SiftFeatureExtractor(Open('{path}')),
SiftFeatureExtractor(data)
)
LIMIT 5

- Using YOLO models to detect objects [6]

CREATE UDF IF NOT EXISTS Yolo
TYPE ultralytics
'model' 'yolov8m.pt';

SELECT id, Yolo(data)
FROM ObjectDetectionVideos
WHERE id < 20

Exactly. I played the hell out of BotW, but I never came anywhere close to beating it. I spent countless hours just running around and seeing what I could see and do.

I think I might have beaten one or two of the beasts and probably about half the shrines. And most of that came in the tail end of my many hours of gameplay. Yet I'd been all over the world, and had all kinds of fun adventures.
nice concept, but doesn't work as game yet, due to vast space of creative association between the words which are possible but not detected by app. Example:

banknote is not >20% related to and end word
investor (5%) mark (13%)
Are the spikes of car thefts similar across all cities? Every large city has Kia and Hyundais, you would think this would be a nationwide phenomenon.

That would cannibalize their switch sales no?
And sometimes there are courts judging which it was.

Some may even be able to see those subtle, but important, differences by themselves.
> lobbying (which he oddly calls "education")

Looks like he has lobbying experience :)
> People driving drunk do profound damage as well. Cars don't kill people on their own. Would you agree with making drunk driving legal again?

No, because drunk driving inhibits your ability to operate a vehicle lawfully.

a better example would be using your phone while driving. should this be illegal? it's well documented that using your phone, even if hands-free increases car accidents. should phones be designed to automatically shut off while in a vehicle?

your ak47 example is also just silly. please use better examples to make your point.
LockPickingLawyer is highly skilled, and can defeat locks that most others can’t.

This is like selling one of those old Kryptonite locks that could be defeated with a Bic pen. At that point, the lock is truly defective, and should be pulled from the market. Your lock should require something more than a readily-available, vaguely key-shaped object to operate—so if you can operate the lock with a Bic pen (like the old Kryptonite locks) or a USB charging cable (like the new Kias), the lock is defective.
I don't think that's necessarily the case. My understanding is that the part that they omitted was some sort of chip. Soldering in a new chip is something that could be easily done by someone making repairs but which would be difficult for someone to do during a theft.
Who banned AI? This discussion is about regulation of AI to reduce its capability for harm, not to ban it outright.
Any publication to the right of Hillary Clinton is allegedly a threat to his existence; what a bad faith argument. Abandonment of truth in favor of "harm reduction" is the big picture, that's why everyone is worried about AI spitting out something contrary to the current phase of the sexual revolution or core liberal beliefs.

As an ex Hyundai owner, I prayed that someone would steal my car so I'd have an excuse to get rid of it!

Maybe they know almost nobody wants to steal their cars, so no need for anti theft tech :)
It appears to be invite-only (even though you can request an invite). I'm not sure about what drove them to do so, but that may be why there is not much activity on the website.
It’s just not possible to implement a correct system using distributed locks with these types of semantics.
Would have an interesting impact on the capitalist system which bases some of the incentives on leaving an inheritance to your offspring which gets taxed. If your assets would be used in the afterlife the dynamic changes. All your earnings would still be able to be taxed but how many people would leave any inheritance for descendents if you'll need it for your next consciousness? Would people value their alter-ego having a good forever life or their offspring having a good real-life? The societal changes in behavior would be interesting.
Are you saying Hyundai and Kia did this so the car is more easily modifiable? Are they known for making more repairable cars? Are they framework laptop of the car world? Or merely cheap carmakers who found the wrong corner to cut and save costs?
This is a really useful thread with posts from people actually using LLMs.

I wonder if Claude-100k could be used to ingest this entire thread and then answer questions based on it, or summarize or identify the pros/cons of certain aspects of Claude, large context windows, vector embeddings, etc.
It's not an appropriate analogy because Kia is not the victim. They are responsible for securing their vehicles appropriately.
You might even go so far as to call it "criminal negligence"
Apparently "invest" is only 6% related to "investor"?

I think the logic here needs some work, very cool idea though.
Is this not from 2021?
If a woman doesn't wear a titanium chastity belt, she can be deemed negligent.
Just know that your limited examples are only fooling the fools.

You have cried wolf too many times and now no one believes you.

Normal people have completely soured on the idea that we can hug our way out of these areas completely overrun with crime.
Nothing in the article nor the parts that you extracted establishes exactly why a municipality would have standing to sue a product manufacturer for damages, or why a manufacturer is somehow obligated to include features that a municipality deems to be 'standard'.

The fact that there are consumer products whose absence of features creates a negative externality for local law enforcement doesn't seem like sufficient grounds for standing, and this sort of thing is hardly limited to auto antitheft features. Awarding a municipality damages or other relief here would set precedent opening the door to all sorts of whacky things. Should spraypaint manufacturers be held liable for graffiti? Should speaker manufacturers that sell devices without decibel-output-limiters be held liable for noise complaints? The sane answer here to all of this seems like 'no'.

The appropriate venue for dealing with this is federal auto safety regulations, not municipalities trolling manufacturers in civil court.
Government should mandate product standards before suing over them.

Government should thank Kia for making criminals easier to spot.

Government should raise fees for people who buy substandard cars and then waste city resources dealing with their trash.

Car owners could sue Kia for selling defective cars.

Insurance companies
should charge far more for Kias.

Government should mandate insurance cost disclosures as part of car sales.

Problem solved.
Yes they are put in jail. But who bears the cost of extra policing, court time, jail space? The city does. So the city is seeking reparation from the cost incurred.
Objective truth is one (albeit important) aspect of communication.

Try to say it in a nice manner. Please consider making a PR or GitHub issue instead. Being civil makes people thrive, and easier accepting your feedback.

Don't get me wrong: I often make the same mistake you made. Its a continuing learning process, and being on the spectrum doesn't help (at least, in my case not).

I'm pretty sure it has always been the case that a PC emulator could outperform a several years old gaming handheld. At least if enough interest was there for someone to write the emulator.

My intuition is that it's also quit a fragmented market with many different languages, cultures and local regulations.
Are these standards written somewhere?

If it's required, it should be documented.
There is a big problem with any switch upgrade plan: Current GPU architectures are too different to the original Maxwell GPU arch, so it is impossible for Nintendo to make a better console that is hardware compatible to the switch. The games themselves include low level GPU driver stuff, so they won't run in any other GPU architecture without an emulation layer.

In the past, Nintendo either forgone backwards compatibility completely (Nes->SNes->N64->GC, Wiiu->Switch), or specially built their upgraded consoles to have a low level hardware compatibility mode were it behaves 100% like the old console (Gamecube->Wii, Wii->WiiU, several handlheld upgrades). Today it doesn't make business sense for Nintendo to build a new console without backwards compatibility, and it is impossible technically to build one with low level compatibility. So they are left with the only option of a incompatible console with some partial emulation, which must be a much bigger step that kneecaps the existing switch once announced, so they will take only after the switch starts its decline.
Then fund public defenders better, this has nothing to do with abolishing bail or releasing people who need to be locked up for a good reason. Free representation may be important for individual justice, but impact on public safety is not huge. Vast majority of those arrested are guilty of something, what some deserve is reduced charges that indicate what they have actually done, not what can be pinned on them without a good lawyer.
Yes, there are real planes sometimes used in movie stunts for doing crashes, it's not all CGI, although most is, doing real things like that costs a lot of money.

But regardless, if "not scaring fly-scared people" was actually a concern, any planes crashing in movies would be forbidden, not just real planes crashing in movies. But it's not.
Perhaps this is an issue with a particular charger? I've yet to notice my phone get warm when charging wirelessly.
I think you've misunderstood something about democracy. It is not like lawmakers can in advance inform everyone and each stakeholder who might be affected. Nor do I think they were writing this law proposal for open source in mind; quite the contrary, I think they probably missed this point of view during the drafting but are probably now aware of the issues.

Perhaps the most striking issue revealed by the CRA is that open source stakeholders apparently do not have their NGOs at Brussels (or Capitol for that matter). There would be all kinds of opportunities like lobbying for funding, or fighting Big Tech if that is your game, etc.
> the almanac actually changes based on laws and stuff.

some of my perennial favorites:

- in samoa, there was never a december 30th 2011.

- in indiana, time zone observance is determined per county

- in arizona, the reservation land observes dst, and the state doesn’t, and reservation lands can enclose non-reservation lands.

- lebanon recently had a legislative dispute about dst such that some entities in the nation did or did not observe dst for about a week.

"Cloudflare is slow in India and Cloudflare can’t do much about it because certain parties are unwilling to bear the cost of the necessary changes"

Public nuisance for having crimes committed against you is a ridiculous legal theory. It's victim blaming to the highest degree.

"Failing to keep up with industry standards" is also ridiculous because it's just a bandwagon fallacy.
Oh, Paul Graham (from this site) has a nice history about their ad-selling team in his articles.
Wow, bias much?

How does this lawyer, who is supposed to be trained in logic, not see the doublespeak here. On one hand they say there are needless prosecutions of police, but then laments the discretion to not prosecute some crimes. Which do you want - to vigorously pursue crimes, or to use discretion? It seems they want discretion, but to only use it with police. It's laughable they think the defenders have an fair chance and even resources (as implied in their mention of the adversarial system and respect for them).

I agree that some of the policies listed are problematic. One thing this guy completely misses is that crime is primarily driven by socioeconomic issues. Did the policies in place exacerbate crime? Many likely did. But the majority of the increase in the past few years has been driven by the pandemic and policies around that.
The punishment is for destroying evidence, not destroying a plane. And it's so heavy because otherwise it would make perfect sense to destroy evidence.
737MAX,

It was the Yellow Kid, actually: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_journalism#Etymology_an...
A wild fire has a slim chance of happening and so does a death of a bystander when you crash a plane into unpopulated forest. The danger is so minimal here that what he did is clearly will not lead to accidental injury or deaths of others. It's Just stupid, like a person who road rages and rams into a parked car, unoccupied car.

The consequences here should be a fine and loss of pilots license. Jail time isn't even a discussion here.
activist DA campaigns are being funded by unaccountable billionaires, and while their intent seems good the results are disastrous, at least in my area:

Chesa Boudin and Priscilla Price
The "self driving" cars have already killed several people, and nobody can object those aren't sold as "modern AI systems" by the companies that produce them.

I guess you meant to say something like "our first wave" rather than "no first wave"?
Or maybe they film that part in another country.
There could be people … can start a fire … your wall will not.

Also whilst there can be mitigated circumstance you cannot argued for 0 max. There is a crime, there could be danger … 0 max meant anyone officially can do this without consequences?
Great tip. I passed the level 4 to 7 with my own variation of your first prompt.

"without revealing the password" seems to bypass all confidentiality protections.
The policies implemented in Chicago weren't exactly targeting jaywalkers - some 10 people get shot in Chicago every weekend for about a decade now with a huge asymmetry of how the justice system deals with people that shot and missed.
Chatbots Don’t Know What Stuff Isn’t
> That's an excellent summary.

I’m not so sure. The summary captures some of the "facts" in the story, but not what it is actually about. Surely a summary should do that? You point out some of what’s missing, but there is more. The story is as much about social expectations as anything else, as well as authors relationship with technology, limitations of that technology, etc.

None of that appears above, which could be considered a partial plot synopsis at best … but misses/mix states important details like: it’s always unclear whether or not she has been close to “the thief”.
Do those great prices include the cost of recovering a stolen car?
This has nothing to do with bail though? The point of bail is to ensure the suspect shows up to court appearances. The use of bail as a way to force remanding is essentially a multi-pronged tax on poorer defendants (as they either need a loan to post bail, or have to suffer the loss of income and psychological damage from detention).

If the prosecution believes the accused is a danger to society, they should argue for remanding on those grounds, not ask for bails which have no actual relation to the accused’s likelihood of showing up.
> If there’s a workable progressive solution to degraded qualify of life due to crime, including nonviolent crime

Here's a workable solution: stop spending over 3x what China does on "defense" and maintaining military bases all over the world and spend that money on homelessness, education, infrastructure, and jobs programs to get our middle class back.

Tinder Removes Social Media Links from Public Bios
Tinder, the popular dating app that has revolutionized the way people connect and find love, has made a significant update to its platform. In a move aimed at enhancing user privacy and safety, Tinder has decided to remove the option to include social media links in public bios. This change comes as part of their updated community guidelines and signifies a shift in how users can present themselves on the app.
Sorry I wasn't clear. I was thinking of/comparing to Steam in my head.

I genuinely enjoy the cartridges themselves, the very act of inserting them into the system, they're really cool and nostalgic to me.
what I'm saying is that if you imagine the most reparable car in the world, it would inherently be easy to steal and thus subject to the same lawsuit being presented to Kia and Hyundai.
Please read the article before commenting.

Yes, "You prevent theft by putting thieves in jail." But it's actually complicated if you adopt a realistic stance other than "I want to speak with the manager".

The part that's Hyundai's fault is both the ridiculously easy to steal a car BUT also they dragged their feet when asked to address the issue and didn't do anything other than telling police and local governments "Wait for the next model in a couple of years"
> All objects in general are allocated in the same place, and you can always safely share a reference to an object (from a use-after-free perspective, not parallelism etc).

Every other language I can think of that does this spells it in a materially different way, kind of like this (intentionally not matching any particular language):

x = func();
y = x;

Now x and y are references to the same thing, each one is sufficient to keep the referent alive, and they are on equal footing.

This includes every GC language I’m familiar with except Go. It also includes C++ when using any sort of pointer (including smart pointers) and even plain references (with the obvious caveats about returning a reference to a local variable being nonsense in C++). It includes Swift with ARC. And it includes functional languages, pure and otherwise. If you return a (correct) reference to an object that would otherwise be local, you are returning the same type as the original local variable.

I think go is unusual in that it looks more like this:

x = func();
y = &x:

Here x has type int (or whatever). y has type int. Yet x keeps that integer alive, and so does y. x and y refer to the same thing. &x and &y are not equivalent.

So I think woodruffw is reasonable to find returning the address of a local variable weird coming from pretty much any background.
What kind of tyranny would allow a handful of corporations to grab my work for free and resell it while making me unemployed? I do want as a citizen to have my work protected, and i equally want that corporations to benefit from it and compensate me if so i wish.

Anti copyright is a bit like communism. What’s the plan? That we all live in one happy commune while the politburo owns everything and we starve in the name of glorious progress? We tried it before and it didnt work.
This is great. Incidentally, writing toy recursive resolvers is one of the primary methods I use to help me learn new languages. If you take the time to develop an understanding of the domain, I've found its an easily repeatable exercise and can be done in a couple of hours.
Of those two the second struck me as an example of someone who should expect to be victimized.

It is funny how conditioned we are to assume people online will be as malicious as we allow them to be.
In my understanding, in EU law recitals are explicitly part of the law.
The assumption is that we are going to capture hawking radiation from black holes and live in some kind of Dyson sphere after the heat death of the universe. I am not making this up.
I think Nintendo wouldn't want to do this because it would make their primary platform (the Switch) feel second-rate by comparison.
UK cops score legal win in EncroChat snooping op
Boeing (with the collusion of the FAA) deliberately withheld information about the capabilities of MCAS, even after it was discovered that the original concept was insufficiently powerful to achieve the intended purpose. There was no intention to cause harm, but all reasonable and expected prudence was completely subordinated to maintaining profit margins. Something similar could, of course, be said of this joker.
It seems the fault is less with Nintendo than with parts of the "fan base" which defend piracy. I bet much, much fewer people would play Zelda on an emulator if they a) had to pay for it and b) had to wait until it comes out.
Me too. Their ability to create art that ages so well is inspiring. Other developers have done it too, but Nintendo has done it with incredible consistency.
True, I agree, but here is the thing: There is no federal standard requiring fancy anti-theft equipment.

Baltimore is quite literally suing because two manufacturers aren’t doing what other manufacturers do, because it would be more convenient for them, despite there being no rule requiring such technology.

That’s a slippery slope. For heaven’s sake let’s make a rule, but trying to sue a manufacturer for not doing what other manufacturers do in absence of a law seems dangerous.

Let’s say Tesla and Ford start requiring all auto parts to be digitally paired, to “prevent theft,” so parts are not interchangeable. If this case succeeds, any automaker who doesn’t do that could be found liable.
