I am actually a pretty happy GNOME user -- granted, it is due to being able to tweak my experience with GNOME extensions and managing the aspects I care about with dconf settings managed with Home-Manager/Nix.

These are the GNOME extensions I find critical to me enjoying the UI:

- PopOS' Shell[0] for tiling windows

- Just Perfection[1] for making the appearance even more minimal/removing elements I don't use

I think if the GNOME team removed extension support altogether, I would absolutely switch to KDE. But for now, I get an extremely minimal desktop, and I really like it.

That being said, I typically live in my terminal, so I don't spend much time actually using the tools provided with my desktop environment.

(Just want to vocalize that there is at least one person who enjoys GNOME's approach of visually staying out of my way, but giving me a robust backend when I need it)

I think your post violates a number of HN guidelines.
"That most heinous of crimes, theft of money [from rich people]."
> it's pretty easy to get away with proportinally more and more with the money and power increase

The power/money creates a inbalance with the punishment ( it has less side effects to do it). Either by people being influenced of your status or the fine not being relational to your wealth.

Untill you overdo it, which may be the situation with the previous president.
I'm not sure what you mean by rootedness in this context. The Switch can be rooted to run custom software on official hardware (though I think it's difficult on the latest hardware and firmware revisions), but I don't root mine personally and don't know much about it. The state of rooting is pretty much entirely separate from the state of emulation, which is doing very well. There are currently two major Switch emulators that I'm aware of and they can both play thousands of Switch games just fine, with various tradeoffs and support for game mods.

> I also don't quite get why Intel doesn't just design their own competing high efficiency architecture, after abandoning x86 and backwards compatibility, of course, something they should have done two decades ago at least.

They've tried, at least twice. Itanium and Atom come to mind. It turns out, it's not as easy as it sounds, even back when Intel was near the top of its game.
At the end of the day, the question is never one debating simplicity. If you consider the amount of complexity implemented just to even boot into an operating system to run these systems, the lack of simplicity is already a forgone conclusion. The crux of issue is going back to abstractions and my worry is specific to how our abstractions are getting larger and larger and doing more work at even level with very tight coupling rather than creating systems that use more levels as needed.
I can smell asparagus in pee so easily, no one else in the house can though - it's so funny and interesting.
The same thing happened with the Fyre Festival. The organizers didn't face consequences from defrauding the people they sold tickets to. They face consequences from defrauding the investors.
I agree. All I could think while reading this was how this is considered an aspirational goal for some people in the current generation. It made me shudder to think that our ambitions have shrunk so low. Affordable housing is certainly a major problem but if this is the solution that we’re moving towards then I don’t even want to know what’s going to happen to the next generation.
I think it's saying that any legitimate criticism (e.g. of Israel) is overtaken by anti-semitism. So in Israel's case there is both legitimate criticism and anti-semitism directed towards it and the anti-semitism and discussion of it becomes more prominent. Then there are those who, as you point out, equate the two.
And their service is infinitely better. It's why all iphone owners I know use Google photos.
But then it wouldn't report anything, and assuming those cases are roughly representative for cases where it does work, it doesn't really skew the results.
I have tried 3.5, 4, and Bard, all are pretty bad at Go. The hallucinations are quite troublesome in all cases. They create unused vars and then use vars that aren't defined. They all seem to have trouble with this. Even in Python, I find them importing and then never using something.
They already collect tracking data with Google Maps and already use car engine type to estimate gas usage on different routes.
Hey guys this is awesome. May I ask how to figure out the correct url to get /.well-known/ai-plugin.json, of a plugin available on chatgpt? Because some of these urls are not obvious given the company name. Is this method available on your github?
- Most, but not all, all the most scary uses for ai are those potentially by governments against their people.

- The next most scary uses are by governments against the people of other countries.

- After that, corporate use of ai against their employees and customers is also terrifying;

- next, the potential for individuals or small organizations seeking to use it for something terrorism-related. Eg, 3d printers or a lab + an ai researcher who helps you make dangerous things I suppose

- near the bottom of the noteworthy list is probably crime. eg, hacking, blackmail, gaslighting, etc

These problems will probably all come up in a big way over the next decade; but limiting ai research to the government and their lackeys? That's extremely terrifying. To prevent the least scary problems, we're jumping into the scariest pool with both feet

Look at how China has been using AI for the last 5-10 years: millions of facial recognition cameras, a scary police force, and a social credit system. In 10-20 years, how much more sophisticated will this be? If the people wanted to rebel, how on Earth will they?

Hell, with generative ai, a sophisticated enough future state could actually make the Dead Internet Theory a reality

That's the future of ai: a personal, automated boot stomping on everybody individually and collectively forever, with no ability to resist
I don’t want to sound snarky but did you miss that this was a rhetorical question meant to illustrate my actual point as part of a much longer post?
From time to time I use VoiceOver to read for me when I can’t. I did here and this page is an impressive level of broken: not only does voiceover never find the article and keep reading the meta text (e.g. menus) it apparently triggers the infinite scrolling as it does, so it reads meta text forever and it fucks off wherever with no possibility to ever find the original location when you stop it (in fact I had to switch tab to kill that one because VO had apparently triggered a bunch of loading and the page kept bouncing around and doing stuff long after I’d stopped VO).

Thankfully Time has not broken reader (other sites do, triggering reader just gives you an empty page), and that fixes VO, as it often does.
I don't think this is a reasonable take. She's 38 years old and will serve roughly 10 years. It is not in fact normally the case that having a child gets you out of federal prison time. It's much more likely that this was her last opportunity to have kids, given her timeline, and she took it. The kids will do fine. They have a stable family situation.

Enron wasn’t a regular business caught committing crimes. The entire thing was fraud. There was no business left to operate.

Same as Theranos. It was fraud.

It is a massive mistake to conflate stuff regular companies do which may be illegal or distasteful, with companies that are entirely fraudulent.
The result is actually richer than ‘predicted output’ - it’s a probability distribution over all possible output.

-- This is, uh, false. If an LLM output a "probability distribution over all possible output", it would be producing a huge, a vast, vector each time. It doesn't. ChatGPT, GPT-3 etc produce a string output, that's it. You can say it's following a probability distribution of outputs from output space but just about anything the output does that.

Think about how when you’re coding, autocomplete suggestions help you pick the right ‘next token’ with greater accuracy.

-- Uh, you missed where I said "in-context predicted output". The Transformers architecture is where the LLM magic happens. It's what allows "X but in pig Latin" etc.

It's hard to get that these systems are neither "fancy autocomplete" nor AGI/something magic but an interest but sometimes deceptive middle ground.
I remember Disneyland having pain machines in the 90's. Sounds weird to say, but, yeah, they had these grips that would start to shock you until you let go. I remember them being near other things that took quarters like the fortune teller machine.

Well, perhaps not as far as known, but the general microfluidic platform they were working with was supposed to at least be capable of microfluidic capabilites (i.e. comparable to a DNA microfluidics system for DNA sequencing of the kind developed ~20 years ago).

If that was working, now imagine a chip platform, a small wafer or plate containing ID sequences of the top 100 known human infectious diseases, in that situation possibly you could get a one-shot test using just 200 ul of blood, distributing 2 ul to each (non-quantitative, +/- test). Then you'd test it, see what your limit of detection is and so on. If this was automated and reliable, it'd be very valuable for many different purposes (you could also have specialized chips for all known respiratory viral types, all common water-borne pathogens, all known STDs, etc)

Of course, that'd be a much smaller market, maybe only a fraction of the value of the whole quantitative blood component level testing industry.
In these very advanced manufacturing nodes, your choice of transistor dimensions are quantized and very limited (it used to be continuous). Customers generally get what they get, and have to do their best with what's available.

With DTCO, the idea is that ARM can do some initial design and see what their PPA looks like, then feed that information back to Intel who can then tweak the manufacturing process itself to make improvements specific to the ARM product. Similarly, ARM can optimize their design based on feedback from Intel about what is possible with their process. (Hence co-optimization).

The impression I get is that IFS is still in need of customers, and they probably got a big chunk of cash from the US government to help develop the business. If they can show that a particular ARM core performs better on their process, it would drive a lot of business.
Imagine your keyboard lagging a few extra ms before the character you typed is visible on the screen.
Sam Altman estimated that the cost to train GPT-4 was about $100 million. Not only is this not tremendously expensive, it's pocket change for thousand of corporations around the world.

But even if what you said was true, this technology is progressing faster than we can write news stories about it. OpenAI itself is only a few years old, and you can already run a GPT-3-class model on your laptop. Any prognostication you make about cost will be valid for approximately a month.

And, I'm sorry I can't help myself, what the heck do you mean by colocated? Exactly what things need to be colocated?

While current LLMs aren't really strong enough, I wouldn't completely write off the "LLM goes brrrr" approach vs domain-specific optimisations.

How much effort is it worth investing in domain-specific tooling / languages / effort for codegen? On some level it's a bet against LLMs getting better (unless the work has intrinsic value that extends beyond being a workaround for LLM limitations).
> everyone was disappointed we just couldn’t get anything meaningful.

Nice .. my cynical side thinks that most of the time this is the expected outcome, in which case it wouldn't lead to disappointment, but just the next step of finding something that could plausibly be meaningful
> QUIC stack conflicts with classic, high-value abstractions like file descriptors and processes; abstractions which make it viable (i.e. cheap) to have a rich, diverse ecosystem of languages and execution environments in userspace

Do you mind expanding on that with a sentence or two?
Why the need for all the qualifiers and pre-explanation?

It's a fair, and I think, accurate assessment of the ongoing smear campaign being waged by the legacy media against Musk and others.

The way you framed up the comment sounds almost like an attempt to avoid any kind of potential scrutiny of your remarks by whatever group you are obliquely referring to.

Aside from this contorted attempt to bend a comic book reference into Mein Kampf, is there is a shred of evidence that Elon Musk is a bigot in any way at all??

I would suggest the way the media is framing this up indicates an almost pathological obsession with conflict on their part. Why isn't that the story?

Sorry, dumb question.
I'm very curious to see the regular of this, but my hopes are not high. Foundries and fabless design companies are killing themselves over single digit percentage improvements in PPA. I can't see this doing much, though it will be good for everyone to have a competitive and available manufacturing process.
I'm building a sauna on my backyard, and so far spend probably around $3k on it. It's not a livable space, but there is something I learned while building it: structures are not so expensive. If you want to put your own sweat, and can accept not living downtown New York, you can get a pretty inexpensive housing.
Elon is a brilliant promoter, hustler and salesman.

He profits off the work of hardworking people with high IQs and lots of expertise.

It is a fallacy to conflate the work of 1000s of skilled people at Tesla, Twitter, SpaceX, etc and assign the accomplishments to a single person. Elon is the guy with the whip on a long-boat rowed by scores of shackled slaves.

> But I would not advise beginners to use those, if you don’t understand the code, you’re going to make painful mistakes and stunt your learning curve…

In time using this will be no different than using StackOverflow.

Beginners should attempt to understand what they're copying before they paste, just like how our generation attempted to comprehend Stackoverflow answers.

For most beginner questions LLMs are a more efficient search engine.
I always wondered why Stack Overflow wouldn't let me put a financial bounty on a question, as in the past there have been questions I would have paid to have answered.

Quite interesting.
That's why they put the hammer down on Bernie Madoff - he stole from the ultra wealthy. If he had been robbing the little people he would have, at most, spent a couple of years at Club Fed.
Worldcom happened within 6 months of Enron and it was at least as serious.
> I assume the theft by taking is of the lawfully-seized vehicle, not the boot

They appear to be removing boots placed by "private parking enforcement companies." Not the police. To the extent there is enabling statute, it's at the level of local government.

Parking violations on private property should be a civil dispute. (Or get it towed.) Georgia's chief justice said it best: "It is a crazy thing to sanity y the normal cure for an unauthorized entry on your property is to insist that the trespasser remain on your property."
For me it's the fact that these restitution orders are exclusively to corporations and investors, while the blood tests all originated from real people having real diseases needing real treatment. It's safe to say many of these patients suffered adverse effects in one way or another, yet sociopathic capitalism rules the day.
Maybe do a better job on the AI so it correlates poverty to crime instead of skin color to crime, or is able to spot laws created specifically to target and oppress the poor. If the punishment is a fine, then it's legal for the rich
Just another CEO pushing for regulatory capture.

Just sad to see Altman become just another corporate stooge.
I remember about 12-14 years ago I was deciding between learning Python vs. Groovy. I didn't know anything about programming then and for some reason at that particular point all articles/advice I found were saying the future is either Python or Groovy. Luckily I ended up going with Python :)
Stable in what way?
I get what you're trying to say, but a lot of these ES6 things have been supported for longer than you'd think a while now, and are near-universal.

Near-universal: not universal. But people still running very old devices or browsers are not going to have a fun time on many sites regardless, and WebGPU is not likely to be used casually on random sites: it will be used for the same stuff that WebGL and canvas is today: mostly for special-purpose things like games, some visualisations, etc. – the sort of stuff that very old and slow devices will have trouble with in the first place.

Which militaries? I'm just genuinely curious. To my knowledge, most militaries in the world use IQ tests to determine placement qualification which is more or less completely antithetical to this concept. It'd be interesting to compare and contrast how it works out.
A24, I think, hit upon something that had been nagging at me for years in that Hollywood films are massive productions, several million dollars get poured into them. Not every film is a Marvel $250 million undertaking, but the recent Puss in Boots sequel costs about $90+ million, Dungeons and Dragons cost $150 million, heck even Halloween Ends cost $33 million (add a grain of salt for each of these figures). What's missing? $1 million, $5 million, $10 million.

This space between low budget and medium budget was, for a little while, nearly non-existent. With these budgets, you don't have to be that successful to get your investment in the black. It allows you to make riskier films, and there is clearly a market for films of depth and creativity. It boggles the mind that Halloween Ends required more budget (I assume it's mostly marketing) than Everything Everywhere All at Once, it's just about a guy killing people, in fairness one of those people was Jamie Lee Curtis.
"no longer"??

The deep learning models (of which LLMs and GPTs are a type) have never returned probabilities. Ever. Why do people have that hallucination suddenly?

Another observation: millennials now outnumber boomers.The older generation can't hold them back anymore. Millennials can vote into existence the policies, priorities and lives they want. From here on, the USA is a reflection of them and their values. It's all on them now.

The post-war period was a (relatively) long period of economic expansion. How things are now reflect a period of stability; a few generations before (~ a hundred years ago), things weren't so great, either.

London is a particularly dense and crowded city, so it's (unfortunately) expected to be particularly expensive.
So they lost 127,000 postpaid customers in Q1 and then decide to go forward with these plans which unbundle everything from their plans while maintaining the same prices. Then have the nerve to charge you $10/month on top of the plan price for the bundled items their old plans already included.

And their CMO announced their departure days ago... I don't think it's a coincidence. They must of had so much money put into marketing for these horrible plans it was too late to cancel it. It smells like they forced this exec out.

T-Mobile is eating their lunch with their midband 5G deployment and overall value for customers.
That's easy to say in the abstract, but when it comes down to the people you love actually getting hurt, it's a lot harder.

> There is nothing dangerous in current ai models or ai itself other than the people controlling it.

Totally agree! but...

> If it were intelligent then yeah maybe but we are not there yet and unless we adapt the meaning of agi to fit a marketing narrative we wont be there anytime soon.

That's the bit where I don't agree. I don't think we can say with certainty how long it will be, and it may be just years. I never imagined it would be so soon that we have AI that can imitate a human almost perfectly, and actually "understand" questions from college level examinations to write answers that pass them.
Oh, absolutely the failing is actually of the city to get enough housing built as to create an efficient market. But my point wasn’t really about my landlord but that the fact that some executive at Ubisoft or Activision are paying themselves generously while paying employees worse than non-games tech isn’t an indication that the lower wages in the games industry are due to collusion, rather than supply/demand equilibria being different in different sub-industries.
This is IFS, Intel Foundry Services. They are a fab that will make parts for anyone that pays them. This isn't Intel the x86 vendor, that is a different business unit.
What's even "lighter" is a single binary sitting in /home/app running under "app" user and launched by systemd unit file with auto restart.

Look, I totally get the unholy hell that's (for example) python dependency management, and containers are a great solve for that.

Sometimes you don't have a choice of technology, so I get it.

What I don't understand is folks that use containers for stuff like go binaries. Or nodejs. I mean, it's just an "npm install". Or now bun with it's fancy new build option, you don't even need that.

I honestly don't get the point of containers with languages that have good dependency management, unless you're in a big matrix organization or something.

Or, as one HN user put it years ago, "containers are static compilation for millennials".
