It's almost the opposite: the self-hosted version is literally several less steps than the hosted solution. No payments, no credit cards, just download a zip, unzip it and you're done.

Remember the audience here is developers and technical folks, not regular users.
Generally I agree, although it'll totally happen to people who get shadowbanned, since having an LLM reply to a banned user's invisible comments will make it less likely they'll refresh their VPN and create another account.
Right. It's almost as if your average human has little creativity, indeed less than what ChatGPT can demonstrate, even though that magical "creativity" is supposed to be the current Big Thing that separates us from the machines. (In a year, once everybody is forced to agree that LLMs exhibit real creativity, not just regurgitation of their training data, the next Big Thing is going to be something else.)

Targeting iPhones is deliberate - the changes they're against are the ones which make it hard to hack. If they were truly interested in this goal they'd be targeting devices which aren't made from recycled materials, are poorly constructed, made from environmentally harmful processes and sold cheaply to flood the market (and subsequently landfill.)

I look at this cynically: Child safety is the pretext to removing encryption, yet low-hanging fruit to protect children from these harms is not enacted.

Easy repairs are the pretext to removing secure hardware, as if normal people are just lining up to do at home repairs (which are already available contrary to the slant of the article, as well a simpler device construction which iFixIt themselves state as easier to repair than earlier models.)
He 85 years old now. I don't think it is "ageist" to say that he is probably not anymore at the absolute height of his cognitive abilities and a little bit stuck in his ways. That's just a normal result of getting old.

I'm sure if he now was half his current age, he would be very interested in AI. Instead of approvingly citing Gary Marcus, he would perhaps try to improve the transformer algorithm or something like that.

Edit: Though I might be mistaken here, see his quote about email below.
imagine you create a label for a location in Google Maps but it works in Apple Maps too (as well as other Maps), label can be used as an address and collection of them shows a particular perspective of yours.. for example: abc.tapas shows tapas bars you visited in Barcelona, assume abc is your id..

similarity with Pinterest is, user bookmark/collect places with optionally emoji, image and description as they met interesting enough spots

It seems like the weak central government model ceased to function around the 20th Century doesn't it? It was (and to some extent continues to be) a time of cold and hot conflict between superpowers, and a small government seems antithetical to superpower.

I've very recently become involved with monitoring a threatened bird species on the West coast. After about a dozen visits to areas where they have been positively identified in the past few years and using active measures to attract and detect them, I finally saw one for the first time last night. At two sites where they have been positively visually identified during visits this season, the detection is below 50%. i.e. they are detected during fewer than half the site visits.

All that to say that "quickly confirm[ing] in follow up visits" isn't as easy or guaranteed as one might assume - especially with a bird that seems to have a large range, sparse-if-any population, and wary nature.
Failed makes it sound like things are over. Bing Chat is still under a waitlist, they're just getting started in terms of LLM integration into Search.
Fabulous. Might actually make me like Intel again. The legacy stuff is a nightmare, their segmented memory nonsense was also a waste of development time and I'm glad to see them finally acknowledge it.

I wonder how this will affect quirks such as A20, IRQ remapping, etc. All oversights and mistakes made by Intel over the years - none of which really hurt development or performance these days per se, but are definitely not fun to work with either.

Something like this is the only thing that would save the x86 architecture before ARM inevitably took over.
That's not how Ukraine Lend-Lease works.

If you give someone else a bow and arrow, in exchange for an IOU for $1 for the arrow and $100 for the bow, you get your money back by collecting on the note. (Now, its true that Lend-Lease allows hiring US contractors for reconstruction as an alternative to direct repayment, but, how the money gets back to the US isn’t a mystery.)

That actually happens. There are just not enough statistics about that because nobody cares.

I remember a documentary about a part in China with a very high suicide rate - mostly because people couldn't find a job. Another example would be the Irish Travellers - a community which has it hard to find a job and has a way higher suicide rate than the rest of the UK.
They never seemed focused on their core mission of delivering better search results than Google and instead felt like they were constantly jumping from trend to trend to draw hype and subsequent funding rounds (the neeva.xyz crypto pivot is when I jumped off the train.) Simply being ad-free or "privacy" focused was never going to be enough for the average consumer or the user who wanted results beyond typical SEO spam, low quality news, or overviews lacking actual depth.

As Google replaces more and more of their knowledge-graph powered backend with instant "answers" and LLMs (something on-going since 2013 with the release of Hummingbird, with the integration of BERT, and now with Bard and the increasing pressure from stakeholders blinded by AI hype) which I think contributes more to the degradation of their platform there'll be an even clearer need and opportunity for a competitor in the space. Neeva was never going to be that team.

Upon closer inspection, it's an exact reprint of from an article from "National Review" which is a famously conservative organization.

>This was a commentary piece which quoted (to comment on) other sources.

Understood. I just thought I'd point out the potential for bias because it isn't obvious at a quick read. One of the great things about HN (IMHO) is that people tend to discuss things from a more scientific perspective than a religious or ideological one.

More to the point, there is no link to this study cited in the very first paragraph. As a Canadian I've never heard of this study so was interested to take a look. Googling a bit found the results and further discussion on why the National Review interpretation of it is pretty dishonest.

Sorry, but this is a terrible source for HN.
Definitely an edtech CodeCombat-like platform route would be ideal coming from a parent (i.e. tutorials, elearning, online private tutoring at $200 per month). CodeCombat is great but definitely more oriented toward the traditional boy oriented programming. Your offering is much more approachable to both boys and girls and higher in graphics quality/aesthetic.

If you need to directly monetize - perhaps an itch.io/Appstore type e-store would be interesting where creators could monetize their cozy style game creations through a straightforward publishing them.

Hopefully if you do want/need to try some sort of Roblox/Fortnite style, monetized open-world version, you can separate it into its own domain (i.e. rooms-world.xyz) and keep rooms.xyz strictly for Scratch like learning experiences. The potential of rooms.xyz as it stands now is great as an edtech platform.

Perhaps some private donor (Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, etc.) could help to buy out the original rooms.xyz from your seed investors and put it into some sort of private foundation (i.e. Scratch Foundation [1], Khan Academy Foundation). You could then be explore growth/monetization IPO-able opportunities through a separate entity while keeping what you guys have already built in tact for the long term.

There's a difference between opensource and proprietary works. For example, I use "PouchDB" in some of my apps and their code is opensource, but what I make with it is not opensource.

It's one thing to make something similar, and there are often more ways than one to do that, but how would one know if AI created something unique or just copied some human's copyrighted work and presented it in a response?

TBH, I have not dug into how it works, but I did ask it to show me how to make something with PouchDB.js and it looked like it was pretty much a copy and paste from their website. That is not really an issue, but it did not attribute that code to Pouchdb.com. And, to be fair, I did not ask where it got it. But it seems to me that if they got it off the PouchDB.com web site it should tell us and provide a link to the original source.
The most surprising thing that came out of this is that $300 fpv drones ARE the good stuff.
The only thing? You seem to have had a very limited exposure to what ChatGPT can do. Indeed it seems that some people have so little creativity that they can simply not think of asking these things anything except "a smarter Google" questions.
$1500 a year would also be literally lifechanging for so many people. An extra month’s pay would do so much.
Well, given the level of details in TAOCP, and the fact that Knuth wrote a 8000-page draft of TAOCP in a matter of a few months, Knuth is certainly capable of remember the 20 questions, if not more. Still, it's striking, nonetheless.
I think there is a bit of a noun and verb confusion here to my comment. An impolite person can occasionally act polite to others in certain circumstances, including due to silly lines on a map, or due to invisible traits.

Perhaps the opposite of that is not true—a polite person is never impolite, which is what I think you are describing.

We just fundamentally disagree if your argument is tearing down high-rises is cheaper than retrofitting them.

I have mixed feelings about this.

One one hand, I have experimented with co-pilot and this was my experiencerience - great when it worked, easy to fix when it didn't.

On the other hand, I worry people are not ready for this - get these magical answers and go double check them. Most people don't read the Wikipedia referenced they just trust it - are they going to double check LLMs?
I’d be interested to see how this broke down by income decile. My impression is that spending usually expands to meet income. Americans have a lot of access to short-term credit and use that to cover unexpected expenses.

Unfortunately, it looks like a bunch of Americans end up carrying debt month to month.
this is not true at all. the dissociative effects only last a few hours. the clinical benefit is because ketamine stimulates neurogenesis in the mPFC and hippocampus, restoring plasticity lost in depressed patients.

Technically correct, practically a useless distinction? It's not like "stop suffering, keep living" solutions grow on a tree. One has to contend with:

- Irreversible or hard to reverse brain damage/dysfunction. It doesn't matter if the cause is traumatic experiences, innate conditions or substance abuse, effects are equally hard to remedy

- Irreversible or hard to reverse physical health problems

- Low social capital at late stage in life. If someone wants to have loving friends and family at 50 starting from being lonely and estranged, are they really going to have same results as someone who has been building these up from childhood?

- Financial constraints and difficulty of learning new marketable skills in adulthood

- Clash between reality of surrounding society and expectations that are a deeply ingrained part of one's character

The solutions proposed seem to be drugs (either sanctioned ones like SSRIs or increasingly street ones like ecstasy and mushrooms) and talk therapy premised on one having a Freudian complex in one's head rather than experiencing genuine hardship. I am not saying any of these are totally useless. Even having a few drinks gives one a holiday from endless gloom and can spur one to form social connections or reach conclusions that are still meaningful while sober. But on the whole, I am not sold on treating people like houseplants who are considered diseased if not perfectly happy just sitting around with basic needs provided for. I would rather see more effort to improve human lives in more fundamental ways. And, as a last resort, acceptance that for some it was really not worth it at the end rather than labeling them insane to assuage our own discomfort and avoid questions of our own responsibilities
In a nutshell the author is talking about Zettlkasten
This is sort of related to putting an actor's face on another, often in the case of the original actor being unavailable, including being deceased - the ultimate case of unavailability.

I suppose there are two ways to include an actor if they are unable to perform in the role. Given that the reason why you want a specific performer back is because this current production is a sequel or takes place in the same universe, you can always use archival or cut footage from a prior engagement. The problem with this approach is that it leaves the character seemingly in their own world: they don't react to anything and events just happen around them. Audiences pick up on this quickly and the movie magic is lost as a result.

The CG case is where we can "de-age" or bring an actor back to life, which I suppose is a sort of de-aging in itself. It involves mapping a digital prosthetic to the stand-in's face and remaping movements from the body double back onto the mask. In the case of de-aging, the body double is just the older version of the same actor. This is done with mo-cap typically and more and more special effects are being done within video game engines and development suites like Unreal and Unity, also contributing to the cutscene look of the final output.

In the past, film editors have been able to "live paint" as if using photoshop to retouch an image. The software follows the image between frames an applies the transformation. This additive method of altering the image is used in every single medium to high-production value piece of video media and we are used to the retouched look of it to the point where we don't notice it whatsoever. A skilled artist can do the de-aging here.

Hollywood is behind the high-tech world of AI-driven facial replacement by a few years even thought it all feels like old news to us. I suspect it will only get better and move from "uncanny valley" to "passable" within about five years and firmly into the world of "undetectable" within a decade. However, I believe that AAA video games will show us more realistic renditions a few years in advance of cinema because that industry's technology is driving film and TV and I believe will continue to do so for years to come.

The cynic would say that Apple doesn't give a damn about privacy, only about control. Locking down their devices is only a pretext to prevent competition and abolish general-purpose computing so that they can continue to enact their rent-seeking on their captive population of digital serfs.

Interesting quote. I guess he wasn't that old when he said it?
Thanks, I may give it a shot with 3.5 and migrate when I get access. I'm not sure how 2FA will work with API access to my organization-managed g-suite gmail. Zapier doesn't seem to stumble over the need for 2FA that I have to go through IRL (which seems a potential security hole?) So maybe it won't be an issue if I write against the API (gmail) myself too. I think that's what I would have to do, if I use a simple python client then 2FA would almost definitely be triggered.
Neat. I tried to do this exact thing a while back, leveraging TS as well, and struggled to find a generalized rule engine for it. I'll give this a try later, been hoping for something like this.
Exactly.

I went to jail for a crime I wasn't guilty of simply because some rogue police decided to commit a raft of felonies to try and gather evidence against me. When I put that to the judge he told me that "the police are allowed to commit crimes to gather evidence."

I tried going to the prosecutor with it and they will just laugh you out of the building. It's not a crime if you can't get the prosecutor to prosecute it. And the prosecutor's office almost never brings criminal cases to court on their own, they rely on the police for 99% of their work. If they went around prosecuting the police they wouldn't get any more cases and they would put themselves out of business.
Yes. It'll still be there. The only difference will be that you won't be able to do stuff that CR0 can control like disabling the FPU for whatever reason.
And this is a critical point. Not only has Microsoft raised the pricing for their Bing Search API massively (a cost to Neeva and others) there are rumors that they were starting to enforce some terms of service that prevents the use of the API for many things including training LLMs.

Note - they took down their page on the pricing update that was here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/bing/apis/pricing-update; article about it at https://www.ghacks.net/2023/02/17/microsoft-increases-bing-s... and the pricing is still published at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/bing/apis/pricing.

What a terrible experience you are going through. I hope it makes a turn for the better, and soon. I'm curious what you mean by one of your closing comments:

>Still trying to answer "why won't someone help me ?" without sounding trite and jaded

Not looking to debate, but genuinely curious.
Yeah Ukrainian aid helps America being number 1 and keeps your dollars stay afloat. Don’t read other people’s one liners, it does sound good but it makes no sense to America in many ways to not help them. If they cower and not do enough, it will mess them up long term as the worlds number 1 power
That's the elephant in the room. There's a lot of people who struggle to sustain a bourgeois lifestyle. However for every American like that, there's an immigrant living in an expensive city making minimum wage who somehow manages to send 50% of their income back to old country.
Tree sitter isn't exactly the most ergonomic API or structure to use. In my opinion Neovim stuff moving entirely to TS made it worse that the existing tools that were out there. But for something like this, I think TS fits pretty nicely into the use case.

To clarify, my point was about general-purpose CPUs, not single or multi-core.

A general-purpose CPU requires that a program is transformed (via compilation or interpretation) into a set of basic instructions, ones that the processor knows how to handle. This means that almost every program requires many cycles to complete, even if the underlying logic itself could theoretically be done within a single cycle (or within no cycle at all!).

On the other end of the spectrum are FPGAs and ASICs, programmable or dedicated circuits that allow you to create specialized logic that corresponds directly to a specific need.

Bringing this back to the discussion at hand: Moore's law cares nothing about general-purpose CPUS, and is just focused on number of transistors on an IC doubling. With that said, transistors can only get so small (due to the laws of physics), and so one can presume we'll see an end to scaling eventually.

There are changes we can make to improve general-purpose CPU architecture, regardless of transistor count, and there are changes we can make to how we run programs (moving dedicated logic to dedicated circuits). Forcing any logic into a generic set of steps that run a in a loop will always be less efficient than wiring up the logic itself.

The questions has always been whether to wait for the machine to get faster or to create the dedicated logic yourself. The former has been true since the beginning of computation, and has been closely associated with Moore's law. With that said, it doesn't mean that the literal end of Moore's law is the end of computational efficiency gains.
Not sure I understand what you’re saying. It sounds like the limit of the ratio of the surface area to volume is 0. But how is that the same thing as volume? Eg you don’t use this definition of volume for a 3-sphere.
