If it moved by skipping discrete points, it wouldn't have that effect on the cloud, which is essentially a combination of a continuously moving object pushing away the medium it's moving through, creating a flow, and the Bernoulli effect.

Also I'd like to have a word with the UFO designer on how he synchronized the movement in discrete points with the exact framerate and shutter phase of the camera taking video of it.

Also, I only commented on visual artifacts in this particular video, I didn't outright deny the existence of UFO, which literally just means "unidentified flying object" and yes we've had a bunch of those throughout the decades, as we can't identify everything.

This is automatic acceleration of probable cause. If you’re a state-level actor, mixers are fine. (You have a state behind you.) If you’re just having fun, go for it—it’s neat conceptually. For anyone less, take a lesson from the cartels.

Weird that the Long Now project has basically made no progress on its own de-extinction efforts since 2012.

However, it seems like they have made some worthwhile contributions in terms of conserving populations of existing wild pachyderms (a more useful undertaking in general, imho) by partially sequencing the elephant herpes virus, etc.

The thing to learn from this from the opposite side of the fence, i.e. of a developer producing said libraries, is to write good doco:

* Write both reference doco and guide/tutorial doco. People need both kinds. They should cross reference one another, too.

* Indeed, all of the Five Ws And An H are important. Provide rationales/backgrounders, histories, and even bibliographies where appropriate, too.

* Think about your writing order. Try to make both reference doco and guide doco flow. People do not solely access them piecemeal randomly.

* Read what you have written.

* Remember that doco is for people who don't know stuff. It's not the responsibility of the users to find out, or outright guess at, what your stuff does and then contribute third party doco.

There are lots of other tips for good writing, of course, but these are the ones that seem of particular relevance here.

How will that work across national boundaries? If AI is as dangerous as some claim, the cat is already out of the bag. Regardless of any licensing stateside, there are plenty of countries who are going to want to have AI capability available to them - some very well-resourced for the task, like China.
LOL, that's the exact opposite of the majority of my experience in the 70s. In your case, you got the gas, then the shot. I'd get the "pre-op" shot for the mild sedation, then the gas for the main event. "Count backward from ten.", and I'd make it to about seven.

Sam Altman's hubris will get us all killed. It shouldn't be "licensed" it should be destroyed with the same furor as dangerous pathogens.

This small step of good today does not undo the fact that he is still plowing ahead in capability research.
The interface makes it look simple, but under the hood it follows a similar approach to jsonformer/clownfish [1] passing control of generation back and forth between a slow LLM and relatively fast python

Let's say you're halfway through a generation of a json blob with a name field and a job field and have already generated

{
"name": "bob"

At this point, guidance will take over generation control from the model to generate the next text

{
"name": "bob",
"job":

If the model had generated that, you'd be waiting 70 ms per token (informal benchmark on my M2 air). A comma, followed by a newline, followed by "job": is 6 tokens, or 420ms. But since guidance took over, you save all that time.

Then guidance passes control back to the model for generating the next field value.

{
"name": "bob",
"job": "programmer"

programmer is 2 tokens and the closing " is 1 token, so this took 210ms to generate. Guidance then takes over again to finish the blob

{
"name": "bob",
"job": "programmer"
}

Note: guidance is way more general of a tool than these

Not sure if others are aware, there is an Esoteric language called Taxi (https://esolangs.org/wiki/Taxi).
I think people want real, tangible things. They want to hold them and feel them and interact with them. They want real relationships in real places doing real things. The virtual world dominates many of our lives from how we interact with people, work with people, and socialize (like this forum). As the virtual world has replaced more and more of our time it makes sense that we crave a physical, tactile space.
Both things are true.

If we have a superhuman AI, we can run down the powerplants for a few days.

Would it suck? Sure, people would die. Is it simple? Absolutely -- Texas and others are mostly already there some winters.
It's easy to tell if an AI head genuinely cares about the impact of AI on society: they only talk about AI's output, never its input.

They train their models on the sum of humanity's digital labor and creativity and do so without permission, attribution or compensation. You'll never hear a word about this from them, which means ethics isn't a priority. It's all optics.
In the example I provided, it would be those that sold their commercial real estate before the pandemic. Other winners would be pharmaceutical companies, residential builders, internet retailers, people that prefer working from home, and families that enjoy each others company to name a few.

Why are we still minifying JavaScript? Is it only for obfuscation?

Sad that ChatGPT uses the name OpenAI .. when it is literally the opposite of open.
Exactly. I don't even think it needs to be likened to the transistor age—why would an LLM be anything like an electronics component? The two things are not similar.

Assuming we're in the "transistor age" implies that things are going to get significantly better, and yet that's a very big assumption, IMO.

Tyranny is inherently anti-scientific. Right and wrong are determined by the validity of your observations and reasoning, not by power.
Naive question: isn't the genie kinda already out of the bottle? How is any type of regulation expected to stop bad actors from developing AI for nefarious purposes? Or would it just codify their punishment if they were caught?
and this is exactly why its not. I think we can all agree that the hollywood idea of competent people behind the scenes in positions of power has been proven wrong again and again. Any 4d chess move is the accidental consequence of a move so dumb that it becomes unimaginable to us.
I'm not considering outsiders. Why should I. It's a reasonable assumption that readers of HN are accustomed to ridiculous sounding tech product names. Further, this is a comment on a thread regarding a particularly new technology in a particularly newly thriving domain. The expectation should therefore be that there will be references to tech even more esoteric than normal. The commenter should have instead thought: oh, new stuff, I wonder what it is, instead of being snarky and pretentious. Man, HN can be totally, digressively insufferable sometimes.
Tidal energy is expensive - sea water is very corrosive and under water maintenance access isn't cheaply solved. Also you need to retain access for ships and subs.

That's all good and peaceful until two peoples' intuitions collide.

These "nonsense questions" are usually derived from an effort to find a common denominator of things which a society may agree on, beyond its component individuals.
Your last sentence asks about VCs but the parent comment is talking about founders. Considering that, it doesn't seem that the things are mutually exclusive. It could be that founders are increasingly starting businesses that "are just cynical cash grabs" (I'm not attempting to define that, FWIW) and VCs "are mostly investing based on whether they think a thing will make them lots of money".

> I think a number of startup entrepeneurs who in the past may have truly believed that, were... well, pretty wrong, perhaps willfully fooling themselves.

This is likely a common thing, which further ambiguates this. Makes me wonder if there's something about recent goings-on which makes founders more willing to deceive themselves, therefore increasing the likelihood that their intentions are assumed by outside observers to be more negative.
A pity their actual announcement says otherwise

> This ... is not what is going on.

I am reasonably confident that Google are more aware of what's going on with dormant accounts on their platform than you are. I previously worked at Google in Security and while it wasn't in user protection, I know they have quite a few signals for determining compromise. It's pretty trivial to see that an account that was in legitimate use for 5 years and then dormant for 5 vs one that was created and left dormant for 10.

Yes, on Google and on other platforms, account age is a valuable reputation signal but it isn't the only one.

I think it is important to understand each kid is different, that they have different things they respond to, different dreams, different strengths.

I try to engage my kids around that, and try to encourage them in their strengths, help them through their weaknesses.

I also try to give advice when they are flustered. Listen to them when they are excited. Help them hash through their passion projects (my 3 kids have very different desires: so one is building games and I give him game / coding feedback, one is writing a book and I help him w/ his worldbuilding and story beats, one is working on internet influencing so I brainstorm and assist with technical issues).
> patching a runtime initialization table might be ordinary (and even acceptable) in a leaf executable where the dependencies are carefully checked for conflicting initialization behavior, but it's pretty dangerous in a library (or crate) that might get mixed into all kinds of executables with different initialization expectations.

I'm not sure why that would be the case. Any C++ static constructor ends up in that table. Any Rust crate using #[ctor] ends up in there.

> It's close, but you're relying on much racier and flimsier primitives. The trick that I'm most familiar with in Win32 applications is to create a named pipe or other IPC mechanism to communicate over, since the failure modes there are much better defined (and not subject to race conditions).

As opposed to WaitSingleObject? Or what exactly are you objecting to here exactly? I'm also not sure which race condition you are referring to in particular. The main race this has (or any other library that does something similar) is that it needs a utility process to spawn to inherit the handle of the copy gc process. No named pipe will resolve this.

You're right, but an LLM is already trying to make sense (i.e. predict well) within the constraints given. So if you constrain the syntax, it's trying to fill it with the correct semantics. Doesn't always manage it, but it's trying.

This is similar to the way where if you ask a question in a given language, it responds in that language. But it still follows the instructions (hidden prompt) that was given to it only in English.

I.e. an LLM is essentially about finding an intersection of requirements in order to predict output.
I don’t understand what their goal is; The law can only reach within the USA (and EU). Are they not afraid of terrorist competitors? It’s like, it will be allowed to build LLMs everywhere except USA.

Sam Altman urges congress to build a tax-payer funded moat for his company.
Bundling is totally different from linking and building for native platforms. Bundling is all about optimizing code to be sent over a small pipe--you're combining multiple compilation units into one file (so just one web request and lower latency) and doing optimizations like tree shaking to send only the code that's actually used.

It's a pretty unique use-case that not many other programming languages deal with or care about. It's almost as if you are a demo scene coder trying to optimize for the absolute smallest code possible.

Linking native code doesn't really care about optimizing the size of the output and is just just trying to make sure all code paths can be called with some kind of code.

> it is even more expensive/slow to have producers try to continuously anticipate the needs of all possible current and future consumers

I agree, but I don't think Taxi encourages that. (I sure hope it doesn't).

All that's really happening is defining a system-agnostic set of terms, embedding those in producer schemas, and then letting consumers using those same terms to ask for data.

Those terms can be used to automate integration, and in many (but not all) cases, alleviate the need for low-value plumbing code.

Semantic Metadata is a growing trend in the data ecosystem (cube.dev is doing a nice job here too). The Agile folks have had Ubiquitous Language as a first class concept since day dot.

It might be low Reelin that protects them. That is the function of must genetic mutations, to slow down the enzyme. So taking Reelin might make you worse.

Zinc might increase reelin activity though.

It might be that high reelin is protecting but I cannot tell from this study yet what the mutation does.

This is disappointing, albiet not that surprising. It's a good reminder to not rely on Google for long term storage of anything you care about. It's not uncommon for inidivduals in poor health to go through multi-year stretches of very limited activity, especially for elderly individuals. In the future, people in that situation, or their relatives, might be surprised to find a Google account they thought was secure no longer exists.
