"So why suddenly ‘Newark’ instead of ‘Rickmansworth’? And ‘Bloomingdales’ instead of ‘Marks & Spencer’?"

Newark (on Trent) is in Notts. Rickmansworth is pronounced "Rick-uth" (not really but it should be) and Bloomingdales would be pronounced something like "Blimmin'dolls", if it ever showed itself over here.

The Adams quotes are from some time ago and we have all passed a lot of water since then. The entirety of en_* are now routinely bombarded with everyone else's TV/stream output in various guises. I might be a Brit but I am now (not really) intimately familiar with Australian and New Zealand police and "Border Force" etiquette and more. I can even hold my own when confronted with a particularly tricky issue in say Nunavut with the RCMPs. I am of course an expert in Texan rangering thanks to a bloke called Walker.

I started programming on the Atari ST and bought a compiler and made a fractal program based on the computer magazine examples of the time (not too much earlier, we typed in bytes and ran a checksum to get the computer magazine examples to run on something like a Commodore 64 for those who did not learn 6502 assembly), for fun as you say and posted it on BBS. I got a really nice handwritten letter of appreciation from a couple who enjoyed playing with it, it was immensely gratifying to make something and share the joy of playing with it.
Makes sense. I'm significantly west of Boston (all the way west in CT) and the smoke stream seems to be coming straight down and then moving easterly, just missing Boston to the south. https://ibb.co/Y80z0jf On Google maps you can click on map details and choose to view air quality overlaid.
The inspector which ships in TR TP2 literally gives you the user malleability that you’re looking for - while also supporting properly sandboxed WASM apps. Sure, the glTF isn’t literally part of the HTML DOM - but why should 3D content be part of the HTML DOM? Bitmaps aren’t; Fonts aren’t; JavaScript and WASM state isn’t; video and audio aren’t either. The DOM is for manipulating XML documents.

Meanwhile, WebSG gives you malleability alongside a perfectly matched API to manipulating glTF. Okay, to browse the resulting object graph you use TR’s inspector rather than your browser’s devtools, but a dedicated 3D editor UI is obviously going to be better than flailing around in the HTML DOM.
Users don't know that, though. macOS treats the app that they want to use like they're radioactive and don't work, and doesn't give them the explicit option of running what they want anyway. They have to know some magic ritual to open it.

BTW...I actually asked ChatGPT (just 3.5, don't have 4 access) what story it might be based on a description. Couldn't do it, gave lots of nonsense answers along the way, but when I prompted it with the name of the author and the word "immortal" it finally got it. Was kinda surprised actually, I'd think that's the sort of thing an LLM should be able to do quite well.

In fact, on further experimentation, my only conclusion is god help anyone who tries to use ChatGPT to help with studying literature.
Yes, I keep mine indoors so I made a small wooden box with a cutout on top covered with a piece of window screen material to allow for airflow inside. I figured I'd leave the enclosure as an exercise for the reader since you'd likely have a different preference for it than I did.
This is pretty comparable (but includes a pm 2.5 meter, auto regulates itself, and has half as many filters). It costs $700:

I built this for myself. A few strips of Gorilla Tape and some ebay 4 pack for $45 MERV 15 20x20x2 filters taped together as a support for a 20" box fan from Lowes.

2600 sq ft home, filter is on the floor on the most open area of the house, which covers about 1/2 of the total space (39' Dome Home, 2 story plus a half story master, the area from the living room / dining room / kitchen to the master is all open area)

My air quality meter showed me in the low warning area for PM2.5 and PM10 before I started using this, half a day after starting it up I am in the good range across the board, plus the climate is more uniform throughout the house and I'm sleeping better from the gentle breeze and mild white noise.

I don't know if it would work as well in a boxier home, but a lot of people have said that it does for them as well, so it's probably worth it if you have $65 to burn and the space for the filter cube setup thing.
Really happy to see this and the child in me hopes to see something like this get "up streamed" into the ELF spec.
Impressive work, but I think the title is misleading. Saying it is “near GPT-4” tends to imply that it outperforms ChatGPT (3.5). It does outperform it on a handful of tasks, but overall is slightly worse.

That aside I think this is really cool and hopefully we keep seeing this kind of improvement on smaller models.

I’m also curious if we know how many parameters the current model of ChatGPT 3.5 has? The API is really cheap, which makes me think it has less than the 175b in the larger GPT-3.

That's the behavior that market forces encourage. If you don't want that behavior you either need to remove the incentive to do it or make it illegal.
I somehow agree that I'd be far more impressed by something that would find optimal or even just better sorting (or selection) networks for sizes higher than 17 (last time I looked at SOTA).
wow. Seriously you're probably expecting too much from a low-code solution! No platform is going to have everything you can imagine in it.
> economics may say it’s best to let Taiwan specialize in semiconductors, but that may not be optimal once you factor in other dimensions like national security. Humans are not Homo Economicus

And those other dimensions come at a cost. National security seems like a reasonable thing to pay a cost for. Enriching an oligarch does not. A lot of protectionism is about the latter.
Please check my edit right as you commented :)
> Yup. A lot of the consumer protection regulations are being totally ignored with impunity. It’s nice to see one retailer held to account. But I don’t think it foretells a larger trend.

I'm Australian. I saw the headline, and my first thought was "I wonder if this is some US retailer playing fast a loose with the truth in Australia". And yup, it was.

Australia is not the USA. You don't ignore consumer laws in Australia with impunity like you can in the USA.

The best example I've seen was HP not honouring their warranties on laptops. The ACCC (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission - a government agency) forced hp.com to put a 1/2 page banner at the top of every web page saying they didn't honour warranties, and spelling out the details of what they did. It was in your face, it was ugly, and it was startling sight for any hp.com visitor.

I've only saw this happen twice. The other time was a local retailer called kogan.com. That's probably because that demonstration of what the government will do to companies that don't comply with the law (I'm sure it hurt more than any fine) there is now near 100% compliance with what the companies doing business in Australia say they will do on their web site, and what they actually do.

Another classic example is Australian ISP's are forced to advertise what your minimum download speed at peak hour will be. And it's enforced. Can you believe that? There is a place in the world where download speeds are what they say on the box, and "unlimited downloads" really means "download as much as you like".

Australia is a living demonstration that you don't have to live in a post-truth society. It is possible to pass laws to say you have to spell out in straightforward, non-misleading terms on the box what is in the box. And it's possible to enforce them in imaginative ways that remarkably effective, yet don't involve fines so you don't get companies evaluating the tradeoff of paying the fine versus lying and keeping the loot. And yes, the end result makes life simpler fairer for everyone - including the retailers.

You might conclude that the only real option is to buy a positive pressure fresh air system, but this comparison doesn't match my experience. I have no trouble driving the PM2.5 very close to 0 with a few standalone purifiers in my house (verified with a couple air quality monitors) even during bad wildfire smoke events. I'll grant I live in a modern house which is pretty well sealed, but it's also a question of sizing the purifier to the room's size and drafts.

There are some orthogonal advantages and disadvantages though. On the upside, you'll reduce CO2 and other pollutants from inside your house -- it can get quite stuffy when you can't ventilate due to poor outdoor air quality. A downside is that it may also bring in air at a different temperature or humidity than you'd like (though that can also be controlled to some extent with a HRV/ERV.)

Whole-bundle signing wouldn’t need to prevent security updates of individual libraries to be loaded when provided on the side, similar to cryptexes.
antenna buoys on cables? No.

But there are VLF antennas that Ohio-class submarines have to receive low-data-rate comms while submerged.

Any reasonable communications have to be made while at periscope depth. (Which is subtly different than "having to surface"... at PD just the thin mast is out of the water.)

You are correct from an engineering perspective. From a cheap/GSD perspective the box fan filters are easy to build and provide a measurable result at a low cost.

So who doesn't want to get more done? Increased productivity means increased output. Who would fire somebody who is working 5X more efficiently?

Ok in some industries this might happen, especially when the productivity increase isn't in the main business line but some ancillaries. But everybody turning out code faster means getting done faster etc. You want to go back to the old slow way? Only losers will do that.
While I'm sure that your product is wonderful, setting up a positive pressure system is a bit more work. The intent here is to get something working on an internal pressure space and have it work well, which it seems to do.

OP was not speaking in the ML testing context, hence the misunderstanding.
Not necessarily. If you want to see the logs, you’ll have to pay for them.

I've long given up hosting my own VPN on VPC/cloud providers as means of cheap and quick "browser in another country" hack - so many things block access to known VPC/cloud IP address ranges, especially AWS, and I was previously an advocate for just throwing up a cheap self-run VPN container somewhere too.

The big advantage offered by many of the VPN vendors this article looks down on is the fact they can give you a residential IP in the target country - this can be a vast quality of life improvement for many browsing scenarios.

~5-6 years ago a self-hosted VPN exit node in AWS worked so much better than today in my experience, so many services have since added IP range blocks. This really matters for the common use case of trying to access TV streaming services in other countries, as one example.

I still run a private WireGuard setup at home to take advantage of my personal residential IP, but that's only good for content in my home country naturally - still handy when traveling, or to get more secure access on public wifi.
I personally think this is ridiculous.

Singularity U's welcome letter had a colorful course suggestion related to self-flagellation.
"On Tuesday, Twitch released new rules concerning the way streamers could display ads on the platform. The rules prohibited 'burned in' video, display, and audio ads - the first two of which were popular and common formats used throughout Twitch. Twitch apparently did not discuss the new rules with ambassadors or streamers beforehand, and many were furious about the new policies."

"The new rules would have been potentially devastating for creators, charities, esports broadcasts, and brands. Now, what seemed like another attempt to take a portion of streamer earnings has backfired."

Once again content is king. It's not clear why Twitch thought these changes would be acceptable, especially when so many creators use the techniques that were to be banned to earn money for themselves or a beloved cause.

> you absolutely were required to pay $99 per year for as long as I can remember

You have no idea what you're talking about. I've been a professional Mac developer for 17 years, so I do know what I'm talking about.

The Apple Developer Program has existed for decades, and in fact it used to be way more expensive, i.e., $500 or $3500 depending on level: https://web.archive.org/web/20080513215048/http://developer....

However, membership in the Apple Developer Program wasn't required to distribute Mac software, because Xcode was included with Mac OS X, and Mac OS X did not require apps to be code signed. The code signing requirement started in 2012. You can see the membership benefits in the above Wayback Machine link.

> The perks included receiving a free copy of OSX - which was funny considering you still needed a Mac to work on.

You are right about that, but remember that Mac OS X used to be distributed on disc, and you had to go to the store and pay for it, so having a copy of the latest update mailed to you would have been very convenient.
I agree, if you have a modern house you could bring down the levels with air purifiers but having no fresh air exchange really makes the house feeling very stuffy and you could get into very high CO2 levels which have its own set of health impacts.

I do dislike how it forces entirety of code to be under single file.

I can't for example shove all of the definitions into single file then use it in other files without using sub-modules for no good reason, I much prefer "module = directory" approach to "module = file"
This is highly annoying/intentional timing as Minecraft 1.20 just got released but now it is tainted with fears of viruses and extra steps to mitigate.

Vulkan born out of Mantle which was released before Metal. Of course, Mantle wasn't openly developed in the beginning, but AMD and Apple were still partners in the GPU space back then. I don't see why Apple and AMD wouldn't cooperate in this space. Mantle would've been a much bigger success outside of the console market if iOS also used it, and Apple could have helped shape Mantle if they got in at the ground floor.

I know Apple isn't exactly a company that's open to adopting other people's standard when they might as well develop their own, but the split from the other API standards was still a choice they made.
The 60 is from Sumer.
Unit testers hate this one trick!

But on a serious note, I think it's the ambiguity. What if the model refuses one prompt, but then accepts the other - that is essentially the same, but worded differently.

What if it at one point refuses a prompt, but then on the next run accepts the exact same one, for some weird fuzzy reason that can't be debugged.
What's the point of this API? Those endpoints (and many more) are accessible without API token anyway.

Huh, so you use Colemak on computer and QWERTY on iPhone? I assumed I'd have to switch everything over in order to get much of a benefit. But if this is viable I might give it a try. I figured I'd have to switch everything over, which would make things difficult when my wife borrows my phone, for example.

Can I ask if you code much? Unlike most HNers, I don't, so I'm interested in its usefulness for writing emails and such, not the special chars used mostly for coding.

The scope and scale of translation work has always seemed daunting to me.

I can’t imagine a way to make it any more efficient, without sacrificing significant accuracy by missing context, than to do manual translation of everything.

I can’t imagine if, every time I added a button to a UI, an entire team of localization translators mobilizing to make sure the right context came through in every language the UI supported. Not to mention the tools that support that workflow of passing context to translators, compiling the translations, and binding them all into a data structure I can use to populate my UI.

And that’s just for language. Iconography and colors have their own localizations.
