We also use Elm in 2023, just got the first project to production a few months ago and we absolutely love it. Finally a way to tame the complexity of browser-run-code.

We only use it when there is complexity: when there is just a little progressive enhancement needed on a SSR HTML page we happily use vanilla JS or jQuery (we're looking for a good TS-based jQuery-like solution the fits that bill).

What we like about Elm:

* makes us think about tech design issues early on (you cannot just ignore them)

* its a transformative experience: devs become better at writing any language after having solid Elm experience

* its fast to compile compared to TS+React+Redux+Babel+WebPack+...

* no unhandled runtime errors! (yes it is true, no more errors with Elm)

Just like I find Ruby a very nice language that was hidden in Perl, I see Elm as a very nice language that was hidden in Haskell. Thanks Evan for creating it.

And yes I truly believe Elm is not dead but merely finished to a great extend.

Uber sold off its own self-driving division back in 2020: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2020/12/uber-sells-self-driving... so this kind of partnership has probably been looming for a while.

Many years ago I did some work for a company of office cleaners. All staff payments were made in cash which was collected by local managers from the head office. Very many were ending up in hospital due to seriously violent attacks. Cash does have its downsides too.
Haha I understand you. I have way too many cookbooks that are untried and untested. I like looking at the pretty photos and marvel at those kitchens and kitchenware. And the ingredients, so colorful!

Then I realize I don't know what half those ingredients are, wouldn't know where to source them, and in any case I don't have time to go shopping for nonstandard stuff.
I know someone who was a cook for a food photographer. they always made 10x what was called for. For one salad in the photo she made 10 so they could choose the best looking one, then a lot of time was spent adjusting exactly where each tomato was. Likewise make 10 pies, take a slice our of each, then the artist uses a rubber scrapper to put the right lines in the side of each slice, then choose the best to photograph. It was all real food.

I'm not saying that they don't also do fake food, but a lot of real food is used as well.

If you're referring to the Patriot Act, neither party cared. Democrats loved the war on terror just as much as any Republican. Obama loved the Patriot Act so much he EXPANDED IT.

I don't really care who was "cared" 20 years ago. There's a problem that needs to be fixed now. It's a wasted of time to whine about different people at a different time not being upset at a similar thing that was going on.

Some possibilities are

1) Complexity of the human brain is higher than we thought, reproducing the complexity necessary for human-level intelligence is further into the future than we initially expected.

2) Intelligence is bound by size/capabilities of a body. (ie, input & output). If you want human-level intelligence, you'll need a human-level robot too (not impossible).

That also means if you want a god-like AI, you need to have the inputs/outputs (body) of a god too.

3) Human brains are _not_ biological machines. They're biological -paradigm we have not discovered yet-. The idea of computation itself is limited by something we cannot "just" reproduce with engineering.

I doubt this, but it's not impossible that the brain employs totally physical phenomena that are basically impossible to reproduce outside of biology. Why? Because biology is something fundamentally different from engineering.

Doesn't mean we can't control biology, but still.

---

The real hypothesis is: Human-level intelligence is possible because it exists. Our best understanding of how human-level intelligence works is with the model of a "biological machine". We assume that it is possible to replicate this biological machine in the near or somewhat distant future as our understanding of engineering, biology and intelligence grows. This replication will have the same or similar intelligence-characteristics as a human.
Wow. I didn't expect visiting HN to read about my Dad (Bryce Bayer) again!
I found that it really just comes down to how much experience you have. I started cooking a lot this year, mostly because it beats taking my girlfriend out to dinner every week. When I started I was very slow and dinners would take me in excess of an hour, mostly because I was just very unskilled in the basics of cooking.

As time has gone on I found that making dinners took me less and less time, part of it is knowing the right techniques for preparing certain foods, others are little ergonomic things like getting a knife magnet and ensuring all the tools you need are at your fingertips. It's also knowing how long food cooks for, what you have to keep an eye on and what you can just let cook. The first time I made smash burgers at home it took me in excess of an hour to prep and cook everything and yesterday I was able to do the same in about 20 minutes.
Uber moving strategically into the beginning of their late game. Interesting times.

I suspect that Uber's main added value is a "safer" way for Waymo to increase the reach of their technology with lesser blowback against their own reputation (Uber did this, Uber did that ...), and to make it more mature, even more than the money potentially being exchanged here.

UPDATE

Apple announces multibillion-dollar deal with Broadcom for components made in the USA

Today Apple announced a new multiyear, multibillion-dollar agreement with Broadcom, a leading U.S. technology and advanced manufacturing company. Through this collaboration, Broadcom will develop 5G radio frequency components — including FBAR filters — and cutting-edge wireless connectivity components. The FBAR filters will be designed and built in several key American manufacturing and technology hubs, including Fort Collins, Colorado, where Broadcom has a major facility.

“We’re thrilled to make commitments that harness the ingenuity, creativity, and innovative spirit of American manufacturing,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “All of Apple’s products depend on technology engineered and built here in the United States, and we’ll continue to deepen our investments in the U.S. economy because we have an unshakable belief in America’s future.”

Apple already helps support more than 1,100 jobs in Broadcom’s Fort Collins FBAR filter manufacturing facility, and the partnership will enable Broadcom to continue to invest in critical automation projects and upskilling with technicians and engineers. Across the country, Apple supports more than 2.7 million jobs through direct employment, developer jobs in the thriving iOS app economy, and spending with more than 9,000 U.S. suppliers and manufacturers of all sizes in all 50 states across dozens of sectors.

5G technology is shaping the future of next-generation consumer electronics — and Apple is spending tens of billions of dollars to develop this field in the U.S.

These investments are part of the commitment Apple made in 2021 to invest $430 billion in the U.S. economy over five years. Today, Apple is on pace to meet its target through direct spend with American suppliers, data center investments, capital expenditures in the U.S., and other domestic spend.

Following the introduction of 5G technology to Apple devices in 2020, Apple has helped expand and expedite 5G adoption across the country, driving innovation and job growth among companies that support 5G innovation and infrastructure. 5G coverage and performance also continue to expand around the world, and more users are benefitting from faster connectivity as they upgrade to 5G-capable products."

Hmm... I thought they bought the Intel modem division to go their own way on modem tech. I guess it didn't pan out.
Except the left are green.
Do we have a proof that this means that they're ready for the late game, as opposed to just investors being desperate?
Well… that’s going to further hit the profitability of Nintendo’s mobile games division.

That division already has pretty mediocre-by-comparison returns. They are quite good for a mobile game, but a drop in the bucket compared to Switch products and not worth the time to focus on.

Rumor has it that Nintendo is probably going to shut down that division and their mobile games soon. They are already adding the MK Tour tracks into MK 8 as part of the Booster Course Pass.

After Uber hired and stole technology from Waymo, which they got caught and the engineer prison time I believe (?), looks like now they are going to go the route they should have always gone since they didn't have the technical capability to pull it off.. partnership.
Honestly, even just a tweet from the BDFL twice a year saying 'I still care about this' would be something.

It's impossible to evangelise something when the creator has seemingly taken his ball and gone home.

The idea that enterprise should use Elm is laughable.
> a "safer" way for Waymo to increase the reach of their technology with lesser blowback against their own reputation (Uber did this, Uber did that ...)

They are still Waymo-branded vehicles. Attempting deflection wouldn’t go well. This is a risky integration pursued for scale.
Just require a license for matmul in parallel, obviously. Only responsible, safe companies will be able to get the licenses. Then we don't have to define those pesky terms like "intelligence" or "autonomy" or explain how the rogue AI will manipulate everyone with mind viruses or self replicate itself to the botnet. Roguenet?

It's the only way to save democracy.

You know, come to think of it, it's funny how the Russian disinformation is now AI disinformation, instead of human disinformation. As we know, Photoshopping single photos of smoke rising into the sky is notoriously labor intensive, requiring teams, if not the entirety of state-level sanctioned organizational output, of human beings. The game has changed, and democracy is at stake.

It's something that you can fall into pretty easily imo, but after you dive into a few languages and realize you just weren't aware of the tool chains, librarys and platforms you begin to realize familiarity accounts for most of your enjoyment.

I like golang a lot and use it professionally and there are plenty of errors and issues that can require syntax and code that to people who aren't super proficient in it would think is over-complicated and end up fighting the compiler (channel can be awkwardly implemented and related issues and what not can be.... non-obvious..).

I've been writing a ton of rust recently and until I became proficient I felt it was really complicated and led me to fight with a compiler (borrow checker I suppose) and honestly it took me coming back to it a second time almost a year later to break through it and now i'm as productive in rust as I am in golang... but it was my familiarity, I found tools I wasn't aware of, my SQL query strings & templates are now checked statically and so I feel more productive in rust in some ways.
Nice list of resources!
It's not as if stock photos represent some unreachable pinnacle of human creative excellence in any case.
As an application gets more complex what starts to matter is general design, software architecture, performance, compile times and language agnostic features.

Obsession with language features or syntax tends to move people towards building castles in the sky and being too obsessed with code rather than the software that actually runs on a physical machine. A lot of fancy features usually come at quite high runtime or compile time costs with not really meaningful benefits in a large software system.

Unless you're writing software explicitly for the sake of staring at code, unopinionated and simple, fast and pragmatic languages that get out of the way are the tool of choice for good reason.
It doesn't.

The idea (pre-aquisition, afaik Meta deprioritized that) was letting companies pay to push their gifs.

This seems about right to me from watching Kenji cook on his YouTube channel. He was promoting his wok book and everything he cooked he would say, “I think it says to do it this other way in my book, but you can do it this way or your own way and it will be fine”.- which I appreciate. I’ve noticed the cooking channels I watch on YouTube are technique based more than specific recipes. So I’m wondering if some people read a recipe thinking “this is the exact way” and other look at it as just a rough template

Whose investors? Uber isn’t taking technology risk. And Waymo has worked in Phoenix for years. Partnering with Uber is a show of confidence in that it suggests their demand limited.
How to balance latency and performance with LLMs
Hi all!
I have been using various OpenAI and Palm-2 API in our pipeline. The pipeline by itself works and things are okay until there are issues with OpenAI (very frequent BadGateway issues with GPT4 model, or errors on their side) or there is slowness from these external APIs.
In the ideal scenario reducing external dependencies is the way to go, but the open source models are just not that great compared to private source models.
The usual tricks for getting better performance from LLMs which include COT, SelfConsistency etc also increase latency in the system (longer prompts take longer time to generate the completion)

I would love to know if:

- there are good open source models which folks have fine-tuned for their pipeline

- UX tricks for fighting latency (streaming the output helps, but if the pipeline is made up of a bunch of calls its not that trivial to stream out the results)

- Batching calls (we already do this to an extent, but it also depends on how many calls are coming to the pipeline at the same time)

- any other tricks?

I can't talk much about the pipeline in detail here, but I would assume these are common problems people have while building products using these LLMs, would appreciate any and all insights and tricks which you have used :)

Thanks for your help!
If we distinguish between intelligence and agency, it is possible.

I can easily imagine a machine with no agency, but which can synthesise intelligent responses to input data. In fact, this is what chatGPT does.

If a machine has no goals or agency of its own then it is an intelligent tool. It can, of course, be used for evil, but you would not say that the machine was "choosing" evil.
I’m glad that works for you. But I’ve learned over years of discussing this stuff that there are so many different transportation situations experienced by different people that any universal rule is destined to become wrong.
How long did it take you to get that fast? Any training, or just on the job?
Giphy's huge, way too huge for one effort to make impact, and I rarely see Schitt's Creek's photos. Confirmation bias? :)
Seems like but then why the interest from Waymo in an Uber partnership? They already have the Waymo One app. I think it’s because getting users to switch or use multiple apps proves difficult.
The parent clearly linked to sources on Twitter that do not include the FT. Trying to deflect in a passive-aggressive manner doesn't help your credibility.
I agree, I always use my index finger to press the second fret to get that E 5th for the palm mute, then use middle finger and pinky to do the G-A-A#-A 5ths.

One peculiar thing about the riff is how the chorus is actually played B-B-B-B-C-B-C-C-C-C-D#-B, but I always thought it was C-C-C-C-C-B-C-C-C-C-D#-B, since that's how it sounds on the recording. But tabs always say it's B. I guess they just palm muted it really hard...
Just like Google can bang out a messaging app in a weekend?

I've discovered a small number of queries actual do become faster when switching a column to a subselect.
It seems that the user is posting ChatGPT-generated text and not a real summary. It's complete nonsense, with about half of the sentences containing a factual error.

offtopic, but what keyboard controller do you recommend?

I have a cheap MIDI keyboard but the keyfeel is all wrong compared to the upright pianos I used to play as a kid. I'd like to get back into piano, and I know I struggled with phrasing/dynamics, and I worry that unweighted keys will teach me bad habits even though they're technically velocity sensitive...
I think that it’s also to do with how visually exaggerated the four main characters on the show are. That style of acting leads to some great gifs that don’t need context.
> Corporations may be viewed as special kinds of artificial intelligences whose building blocks (humans) are cogs in the machine (who for the most part may not always perceive the consequences of the corporation’s overall behavior)

> Now imagine AI systems like corporations that (a) could be even smarter than our largest corporations and (b) can run without humans to perform their actions (or without humans understanding how their actions could contribute to a nefarious outcome)

Wait - but it’s those very corporations who currently control the most powerful AI on the planet - so in a sense this is an argument that we already have rogue AI. Corporations with goals that are not aligned with society, not controlled by any individual and outside the effective control of government entities, who now provide essentially unlimited compute and human researcher/programmer resources to improve the AI. Who’s in control? Nobody.
It has buttons you can push! Seriously, for an instrument, the feel of the buttons is kind of a big deal.

This is meant for live "playing" as well as recording, so the feel of the buttons rather than a touch screen is important.

You should check out videos of people using the original push as a live instrument - it can take serious talent.
Yea, I think we can roughly split metal into pre-90s and post-90s, with 'modern' metal being a lot musical and precise. Just looking at all the people I know that have been in bands, the more into music theory they are, the more likely they are to be in a metal band.
I mean given the context we’re talking about? That’s absolutely trivial. A 20-operating-days fine wouldn’t touch my day-to-day life, I wouldn’t have to alter my behavior going forward at all, there would be almost 0 repercussions.

Would I enjoy it? Certainly not.

Would I change my behavior if it was generating billions in revenue? Certainly not.

How is this supposed to dissuade FB at all?
It's a highly optimized and specialized user interface for music production and live performance. It's tactile, the pads are pressure sensitive, and it comes with a high-quality audio interface for other studio gear. It's probably sturdier than an iPad, and it's user repairable.
