Given his objective at the time was Ecuador, which lies across the sea from Russia, I find it very hard to believe he'd be crossing borders without taking at the very least a plane. And about seeking asylum, you are correct that a passport doesn't stop you from getting asylum, but when the official plane of a head of state is denied entry to the airspace of several European countries due to US suspicion that maybe snowden is on board[0], things become more complicated.

Trying to get himself smuggled out of russia is not realistic, and honestly kind of pointless at this point.

> Large language models (LLMs) are like prediction engines — when given a prompt, they generate a response by predicting what words are likely to come next. As a result, they’ve been extremely capable on language and creative tasks, but weaker in areas like reasoning and math. In order to help solve more complex problems with advanced reasoning and logic capabilities, relying solely on LLM output isn’t enough.

And yet I've heard AI folks argue that LLM's do reasoning. I think it still has a long way to go before we can use inference models, even highly sophisticated ones like LLMs, to predict the proof we would have written.

It will be a very good day when we can dispatch trivial theorems to such a program and expect it will use tactics and inference to prove it for us. In such cases I don't think we'd even care all that much how complicated a proof it generates.

Although I don't think they will get to the level where they will write proofs that we consider, beautiful, and explain the argument in an elegant way; we'll probably still need humans for that for a while.

Neat to read about small steps like this.

Globalization over the last several decades has greatly reduced inflation and allowed the first world to “gain” far more wealth than would have actually happened otherwise.

For instance, 70 years ago, more American cars were built in America. The money that consumers paid for cars went to American companies. This caused increased demand for (American) workers, which increased workers’ wages, and thus their spending power, and thus increased the price of goods. Their pay increased sufficiently to allow them to maintain, and in fact improve, their quality of life, because the inflation was driven by wage growth.

Compare to a globalized world. The money Americans spend on cars today mostly ends up in foreign nations. The demand for the produce of foreign companies pushes up wages in foreign countries, and causes inflation there. Americans get items for cheaper than they could be produced in their own nation, due to labor cost differences. The rub is that they’re not fueling their own economies, which leaves workers unable to afford items which cannot be produced elsewhere.
It's the standard "Every time I hear something I disagree with it means they're harassing/fake news/going down the toilet" nonsense. The funny thing is this person's post is way more unhinged than hardly any comment that I see bubble to the top of HN.

I made a similar point related to all the comments I see about "Well, it's well known that HN hates crypto..." No, I don't "hate crypto", I've done a rational assessment of it, and I'm not willing to buy whatever snake oil is being sold this week. You can reasonably disagree with my assessment, but I see this all the time where people try to say "HN hates crypto..." because we're all just emotional, or my other favorite, that we just missed out on the early boom and are bitter we didn't get rich.
How come Canada doesn't build more houses? As I see that's the only way to keep prices from rising. Here in Spain, which is a comparable country in terms of population, real estate is big business, especially on the coast. In some areas, there are still unsold housing stock from the 2008 turmoil, yet they keep building like crazy. Fortunately there's plenty of land available. Maybe it helps that we don't have mega-cities, but the whole country is pretty decentralized. You can have the same quality of life in Sevilla, Bilbao or Valencia, like Madrid or Barcelona. Prices didn't rise all that much, prices are just now coming back to early-2000s levels. You can easily buy a well-built brick 3 bedroom house for under 200k.

I get a little frustrated that all of the people who crapped all over solar power can now simply sit there quietly as it becomes a major component of electricity generation and pay no price for spreading anti-solar propaganda at such a historically critical juncture. I always found it particularly grotesque coming from the HN crowd, where an audience of mostly engineers and entrepreneurs seemed to have no problem finding impossible problems that could never be solved and would therefore render solar useless on a large scale. That profound lack of imagination could almost lead one to conclude that the naysayers had other axes to grind, and maybe it wasn't purely about clearing technical hurdles.
I have no opinion on this device or the Oculus, the thing I can say is that the Oculus is not an AR device, only VR.
As best I can tell from perusing the thread:

- The Asahi Linux team was "blocking" links to their site from Hacker News by detecting HN as the referrer and redirecting those users to Google.

- HN added the "noreferrer" tag to at least one of the links, which tells the browser to not pass the referrer string. This means the Asahi Linux "block," which relies on the referrer information, does not work.

- Asahi Linux team is mad that HN is playing shenanigans on the outbound-link level, even though Asahi Linux team is playing shenanigans on the inbound-link level.

I scrolled down a few pages to try to find out what their grievance about HN is, but it's still not clear to me. The best I could find was "zero tolerance for those who defend wielding state violence against any oppressed, scapegoated and subjugated peoples & identities"

Which is surprising to me too, because the comments I've seen on every Asahi Linux post have been pretty overwhelmingly positive and impressed by their progress. Was there some drama that I missed?

Or maybe they're complaining about some non-Asahi related comment threads, but I have no idea what.
Well, it's both dumb and smart: it's smart in the sense that it recognized the pattern in the first place, and it's dumb that it made such a silly error (and missed obvious ways to make it shorter).

This is the problem with these systems: "roughly correct, but not quite, and ends up with the wrong answer". In the case of a simple program that's easy to spot and correct for (assuming you already know to program well – I fear for students) but in more soft topics that's a lot harder. When I see people post "GPT-4 summarized the post as [...]" it may be correct, or it may have missed one vital paragraph or piece of nuance which would drastically alter the argument.

Talking is great. Unfortunately much of the verbal spewing here on HN the last few days is just condemning, calling it stupid, making blanket statements like "no one will buy this" or other forms of diatribe with only personal bias as a basis for opinion.

Many of the people criticizing clearly didn't see the presentations.

Is there non-trivial risk of market failure? Of course. They are trying to create a computation and entertainment focused AR device. That is new. It is inherently risky to create new markets. Is it also possible that they have executed this so well that people may find it very compelling and buy it? Yes, that may be true. Only time will settle this question, so making extreme conclusory statements is just silly.

Real, open-minded discussions of the tradeoffs of the tech have unfortunately been in relatively short supply this week. Some folks have made interesting and thoughtful comments and I for one have enjoyed them very much. Kudos! More of that please.
Careful of the municipal utility bait and switch! Here in Idaho they recently adjusted the net metering credit to greatly decrease the value of solar energy.

I take it that with this snark, that you're a libertarian type...

I like government. It provides a framework we all know about, can interact with, and know that everyone's being treated to the same standard.

And where you have better governments, it works well. Sure, there's complaints about all implementations, but I prefer a stronger "typed" system. I can plan for it. I can use it. And best of all, I can rely on it.

At least in the USA, the problem is that government is underfunded, blamed for bad service, and underfunded some more. And crazy stupid ideas like "social security is the biblical revelations mark of the beast" is some of the reasons why where we are.

In my state, the bureau of motor vehicles was identified as "terrible". Investigation was made, and found that it had to do with not enough workers, not enough "open time", and bad communication to customers (us drivers). My state then increased workers at all branches, increased hours on some days to accommodate a wider array of schedules, and now our BMV is superb.

So no, I whole-heartedly reject that "government-issued" is in the same class. I refuse to play in faux libertarian narratives.

As far as the thread goes, the author sounds as though they are a child throwing a tantrum.

In the original OpenGL thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36212674 there seems to be some discussion as to why the author hates HN, i.e. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36229753 quoted here:

> It's not really all that much of a moral conundrum. Marcan's belief - expressed a number of times on his Mastodon - appears to be that he can prevent other people from discussing something, for the sole reason he doesn't want it discussed. It's not a particularly defensible position in an open society.

> In particular, he is upset that people on Hacker News tend to point out that a contributor on Asahi - Lina - appears to be a computer-generated anime alter ego of Marcan himself.

> Me, I have absolutely no problem with Marcan having an anime alter ego, but I don't think it's entirely reasonable to expect people to refrain from noticing this and remarking on it. Marcan disagrees, and this is the source of the HN-Marcan rift.
He didn't have whistleblower status, so not sure why you think there wouldn't be consequences.

The correct answer is around 29, which GPT-4 has always known, but Bard just gave me 163.8, 21, and 24.82 as answers across three drafts.

What's even weirder is that Bard's first draft output ten lines of (wrong) Python code to calculate the result, even though my prompt mentioned nothing coding related. I wonder how non-technical users will react to this behavior. Another interesting thing is that the code follows Google's style guides.

> And the limitations of its speech recognition are actually a feature - it forces me to really concentrate on pronunciation

I appreciate the positive comment! People complaining about the limitations of speech recognition make a valid point, but there's an ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM of language education that I feel needs to be addressed:

Language classes ignore speaking for the most part. Speaking time is ultra-limited. Phonetics are introduced super late (or never). And text is used as a form of baby-sitting to the detriment of listening (which is really –literally– backwards because the natural order of picking up a language is as follows: 1. listening 2. speaking 3. reading 4. writing.)

There's a cost to it: most people develop a fear of speaking and a confusing accent.

We can see the current limits with speech recognition and say that it and the products that use it are no good. But this feels like throwing the baby with the bathwater.

Or, we can seize it as an opportunity to improve one's accent. (Spent thousands of bucks on accent training, this is much cheaper! )

(I do plan to improve speech recognition as tech matures (fast), but there's an opportunity for improving one's accent here that would be too bad to miss.)
