Well the benchmark result do show its close to Snapdragon gen 1.
So given those metrics it makes sense it has at least 6~7nm performance characteristic. But the SOC is not the special thing about the Mate 60 its the 5g and satellite communication module. China is now free to chart its own way again don't have to cooperate with US companies on 6g standards etc.

Given how diplomatically and economically the world is being split into a NATO and BRICS camps. So i wouldn't be surprised if the tech standards will also split into US, EU vs CN, RUS, IRAN sphere.
Yeah, when they first announced Mojo I thought it would take a lot of wind out of Julia's sails, but I'm starting to think that's not going to be the case. Title should probably be changed to "Mojo: It's kind'a, partly here"

Or they can just bring back the Rating system, and let users provide feedback to other users.... Instead of trying to hide that because they do not like the feedback some users give their "original content"
Robust to thermite? Asking for a friend.
I've seen a couple of critiques on it, and they all seem to be well-founded. How do you differentiate between "decided before it even came out that they didn't like it" and "have real grievances that support their view of the show"?

It's not exactly what you described, but there are a few weird things. For example microsatelites https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsatellite that are small repeated regions in genes, that are difficult to copy, so they have a bigger mutation rate. They can function as tweaking knots when you consider times that involve many generations.

And if all open source extends their models, they can accrue those benefits back to themselves. This is already how they’ve become such a huge player in machine learning (open sourcing amazing stuff).
I wasn't saying that you'd estimate normals from the point cloud. You'd need to estimate the normals separately and store the world position and world normal along with the color. This should be possible as these values can be represented as a color texture, so you should be able to construct something that renders a normal map and depth map from any angle just like this renders the color currently.
People like to buy, but they don't like being sold to. So don't tell people they need your app; give them information that will lead them to this conclusion on their own: what pains does it alleviate? How? Why is it better than the competition?

Handle common objections. The most common one I see on HN is complaining about having to create an account. So make your app usable without an account: either a shared demo account or anonymous account that can be upgraded to a full account later.

(I'm not sure how many prospects are actually lost due to this; it could just be a very vocal minority! I just use a password manager than generates/stores passwords for me.)
I understood it as the company has to write the software in-house. The steel mill bought the software, so not a software company by that definition.
The ratings for those movies are so far away from how I felt about them (they all landed < 30% for me) it actually gives me an idea for a site.

You rate movies. The consensus ratings you see are based on people who have rated movies similarly to you overall.

Risk/reward. It’s also easy to take a lot of risk with no possible reward, of course.
Absolutely! Local experimentation. I built a transcription and summarization pipeline for $0. If I want it to be faster, I can move it to beefier hardware. If I fail 1000s of times it still costs me nothing.

Privacy is the second case, I don't want to leak all my great ideas or data to openai or anyone else.
It is tough to explain to people that 1000 is not even alot for some of these guys. 1000 parts at say a fun price of 20 each. That is Maybe a 20-25k sale at most. For some of these companies that is a rounding error. You get lower priced parts and they just do not care much. There is no margin in it for them. Especially if you are not coming back every few months.

You can/should also use hardware offloaded queues wherever possible, or look into kernel-bypass networking.
Neither of you are wrong, but it depends on where you're at.

You need enough motivation to get across the finish line and ship a product. Many, many people fail here.

If you're able to ship you need to be realistic about failure so you can iterate your product or move onto the next one with lessons learned.
I only meant the trained model.

You would need to steal it all over again as soon as the next model is trained.
Thank you for this. If the paper is right, it should be celebrated as a scientific achievement but instead, we got a boatload of national security state propaganda about ufos instead.
Free/cheap parking is a driving subsidy. In fact the old prices were even worse than that; the prices were not high enough to actually keep spaces available, so it ended up being more like a lottery system. The correct solution would have been to just raise prices and fix enforcement, but the city dug themselves into such a financial and political hole that it wasn't feasible to do without the sale.

As someone who's operated adjacent to this company for a number of years, I think it'll be a good thing for your firm.

1) They're doubling down on enterprise-grade features "with the goal to grow enterprise application libraries"

2) They're doubling down on enterprise GTM "we will use the additional funds to accelerate go-to-market initiatives and customer support in selected areas."

3) Finally, they hired someone to lead their enterprise efforts in the US who has consulting experience: https://www.linkedin.com/in/guneetbedi/
> And, if Meta were to wrestle away OpenAI's moat, they'd eagerly create their own

Meta is already capable of monetizing content generated by the models: these models complement their business and they could not care less which model you're using to earn them advertising dollars, as long as you keep the (preferably high quality) content coming.
You what? You can run smaller and plenty powerful models on a m1 MacBook. Idk what the porn and violence angle is but maybe keep that one to yourself.
I think I agree, depending on the value they place on the app and their willingness to turn the app into something completely different if the market requires it.
Does Mullvad have a bad reputation? I genuinely don't understand why this partnership would erode trust? Can you elaborate?
I wonder if the rest of the org can learn some evolutions of their process based on the feedback that having this app used a "small, isolated, secret team, seperate from the noise. What aspects of the "bureaucracy" are slowing development?
All of software maintenance is R&D. Whatever isn't is done automatically by your computer and you don't even acknowledge it.
Yes, second that. Happy paying user for bit over a year now (and was in the beta before that).

It feels a bit like how it felt discovering Google back when AltaVista was still a thing.
I notice that the getsymbol tool on Github has 214 stars, and no banner to indicate that the tool is malicious. There is a recently filed issue with a link to the Google blog post, but that's it.

If anyone from Github is reading this -- I strongly suggest adding a banner or modal dialogue to warn users about the backdoor in this tool, and any other software with a known backdoor (e.g. forks of the project)
Nope EUV is Cymer. TSMC, Apple and Huawei pooled talent and R&D on 7, 5, 3nm development so they could build their mobile chips. Probably because huawei had all that experience in 7 and 5nm they can guide SMIC in getting the yield up. Also dont forgot SMIC got a lot of top talent from TSMC.

How to build and grow Chrome extension to over 300k active users
An interview about challenges and learnings of building chrome extensions.
Not OP and I don’t really comment on the topic much at all, but one reason I would expect more talk about GPL than those permissive licenses: I would also expect a greater likelihood of murky infringement cases becoming a legal matter. Just a hunch, possibly a very wrong one, mostly informed by how I’d evaluate choosing among these licenses.
Hi all, eng who worked on vectors @ Retool here. We’re excited to get HN’s feedback on a new product I’ve been working on: Retool vectors. There’s been a lot of hype around AI, but as I was thinking about what we could launch, there were really very few AI apps that are today _actually_ delivering business value. For example, there are tons of chatbots, summarization bots, etc., but it wasn’t clear how to use them. There were bots that we could use for answering support tickets (we use Intercom), but when we tried using them, the results were far worse than expected (it only managed to close ~5% of our tickets, and required substantial human intervention).

I then tried building a custom AI chatbot for our support team, powered by a vector database (with previous answers, our docs, and community forum data). In my prototypes, the successful response rate was much higher (around 5 - 7x higher, ~30%). But it was surprisingly hard to build this bot: I needed to stitch together vector databases, custom integrations with Intercom, cronjobs to sync data, etc.

That’s why we built Retool Vectors. The idea is that we want to build a vector database that has full ETL from whatever inputs you have (e.g. Intercom, a postgres database, Salesforce, a community forum, a website, etc.). It’s always kept up to date. (We’re still working on some of these features, but I decided to try and launch this week because I just wanted to get feedback from HN, haha.)
I think the industry has now settled on vector databases as the best way to provide context to LLMs. I hope that Retool Vectors can be a much easier way of getting data into it.

If you have any feedback please let me know!
I'm using X11 here for various reasons, without any stuttering or anything. I'm not running KDE, but i3 with a nice helping of compositing, most notably blurred windows. And this isn't even some kind of absurd machine I'm talking about, but a 3 yo "ultrabook" with integrated graphics. WTH does KDE do to stutter?

I've noticed this phenomenon as well - all knowledge that has ever been documented is considered common knowledge these days, but, most people don't have a working understanding of it.

It's sort of like the dirty little secret of the 21st century - knowledge is power - therefore you must know everything to be powerful - therefore, by faking advanced level knowledge of all things is the shortest route to becoming all-powerful.

So, we have all of these people who get upset by beginners because they're the weakest, least powerful people - even if we're only powerful because we've lied about the things we have a working knowledge about (e.g. quantum physics, how vaccines work, the pros and cons of wearing a skin-tight latex bodysuit vs. a t-shirt and jeans while riding your bicycle to the grocery store to get milk because it makes you 5% faster).
All the great points Salman Khan made about Khan Academy in his famous ted talk apply here. The only difference is LLMs can go from Eli5 to EliPhD in just few back and forth. Then to put cherry on the top, you can ask it summarize the conversation in a poem written in style of Walt Whitman.
I get how the grid works. You don't get the market failure.
In a normal market, consumers aren't service providers unless they happen to also sell something separate from what they're buying. They're using a service. Sellers ostensibly take a risk that demand won't be sufficient.

With the grid, that's unacceptable. So there's an absurd solution of paying customers to influence their buying behavior, and even calling them 'service providers'. In a normal market, you charge more or less to steer consumer behavior, like what they do for human customers.

In this 'market', the government is providing much of the capital and the businesses are not taking on all of the risk. And some 'customers' are necessary to make the product work.

This is not an appropriate scenario for a free market. It's actually impossible for it to function as a free market.

Oops, I tried to install the nvidia drivers, but it doesn't seem to have worked.

I got a weird screen during the process, pretty sure it was blue, and the default option was 'continue boot' which I selected, I think maybe it was the 'BIOS' ?

I couldn't google what to do while at that screen, or screenshot it either, for some reason.

I've tried uninstalling then reinstalling the drivers, but that hasn't made the mystery screen to come up again, and hasn't fixed my problem.

I will now go and research a fix, but as a newbie I don't know keywords like 'mok enrolment' or 'mokutil' or 'dkms' or 'secure boot' or 'shim' because WTF do those even mean?

Go ahead and try searching, see how long it takes you to find the command you need to run when you don't know any of those terms, or even that the problem is secure boot related.

Meanwhile, the BIOS with its 'secure boot on/off' switch is available every single boot.

If you don't count the 8+ character password you have to enter three times, maybe.
> If I were an executive sponsor of software initiatives, for example, I’d want to take some of the lessons from the VC world. I’d expect, and plan for, projects to just “not work.” I’d bake that into expectations all the way up.

In any decently-run company, this already is the case. Most customer-facing projects are treated as startups that will fail (most do, some don't). I think expectations are well-balanced... but compensation, on the other hand...

> And more importantly, I’d want the developers of the project to have skin in the game to compensate for the risk. I’d want them to share in the upside risk, just like early startup employees do with their stock options. Because in the absence of that kind of incentive and risk management structure, what I see is sort of the worst of both worlds (software and corporate politics): new software products usually fail but nobody wants to take the blame, resulting in pervasive fraud and willful ignorance and shame and scapegoating and bitterness.

This hits the nail on the head. I remember working on a customer-facing product at X company about a decade ago. Our team was small and scrappy, and we were able to build a product that would eventually bring in $2M/month+. It felt very startuppy: we were regularly staying late at the office, getting takeout in the wee hours of the night, doing swarm sessions, war rooms, etc. I will say: it was engaging and fun. But what was our reward? A few months later, we got some cheap puffy jackets (estimated cost: $100 bucks) and a slap on the back: "good job team."

Companies will never let you share in the wealth. Why? There are enough suckers out there that are more than happy with six figures (when they should be making seven). I was already enamored with startups since my late teens, but after that experience, I truly realized corporate upside is basically non-existent unless we're in a market bull run. The year after, I quit and started to solely place my bets on my own startups.

In fact, the downside of betting on your own startup is fast converging with the downside of working at a FAANG or BigCo. Job security is shot (layoffs galore), perks are eroding (WFH, etc.), so what's the point? Best of both worlds is probably taking a BigCo salary and attempting your own thing on the side.

(Obviously, young kids, spouses, debt, etc. can change the equation substantially.)
If you want to see what a war on drugs looks like, just look at Singapore.
Since 1975, after the proposal by then Minister for Home Affairs Chua Sian Chin, the death penalty was mandated as the sole punishment for drug trafficking, should the amount of whichever drugs exceed the capital threshold.[106] As a result of this legal reform, 28-year-old Penang-born Malaysian Teh Sin Tong became the first convicted drug trafficker to be hanged at Changi Prison on 28 April 1978, after the High Court found him guilty on 13 October 1976

The majority of executions in Singapore are for drug offences. Since 2010, 23 prisoners have been executed for drug offences, while only five have been executed for other offences, such as murder. Death penalty supporters, such as blogger Benjamin Chang, claim that Singapore has one of the lowest prevalence of drug abuse worldwide. Chang claims, for instance, that over two decades, the number of drug abusers arrested each year has declined by two-thirds, from over 6,000 in the early 1990s to about 2,000 in 2011.
Hans Moravec is really into space elevators. Is there some correlation between being an AI researcher and having an interest in space mega-engineering?
This is an incredible false equivalence. Your comment here would have been censored in China.
It's refreshing to see how fast open LLMs are advancing in terms of the models available. A year ago I thought that besides for the novelty of it, running LLMs locally would be nowhere close to stuff like OpenAI's closed models in terms of utility.

As more and more models become open and are able to be run locally, the precedent gets stronger (which is good for the end consumer in my opinion).
Thanks for your example!

I think I have just caught the first user of this little language :)

It is amazing that you can understand the language simply by my minimal amount of docs,
and write this non-trivial example.

I will study your example and add it to the repository.

Your implementation of `Bin` reminds me of
the implementation of binary number
in minikanren ( http://minikanren.org ),
in a book called "The Reasoned Schemer".

Self-hoist will be a very very interesting challenge!

(1) Maybe we can do it by firstly implement a low level graph processing VM,
and compile it to the byte-code of the VM.

(2) How about self-interpreting? like lisp's meta-circular evaluator.
Maybe this is even more challenging then compiling.

Either way, We will need some built-in primitive functions about IO,
and also some primitive functions about string processing (to parse the syntax).

Maybe we can keep the core pure, and extend the lower layer stack-based language.

Should we do this in this JavaScript/TypeScript implementation?
or to do this in a C/C++/Rust/Zig implementation?
(the later seems have more potential to be practical)

Given how many projects like this exist, is this just to generate leads for retool sales? Does this actually make money?
I think of classical computers operating on yes and no, and quantum computers operating on direction and magnitude. Things like Q# make it a lot more approachable, but I'm also very much a naive mind. That said, I'm not seeing the overlap between quantum computing and interaction nets. I'd think parallel-focused hardware like GPU's and eventually optical would be more natural hardware targets.
Your profusion of words scattered liberally about your theory that silencing people with whom you disagree is free speech hardly rises to the level of "reasoning" which needs engagement.

Defining the “what” is just as much a part of the intellectual property as defining the “how”. Both things are hard to do well IMHO
There are many political fault lines simultaneously in play, including old vs young. From the federal government backstopping real estate prices, stock market prices, and spending increasing proportions of the budget on healthcare for old people, all efforts are made to appease them first, and then younger populations.

Which makes sense since without old people's support, you are not winning elections. There is no reason for Medicare to reimburse healthcare providers more than Medicaid, other than to direct more resources to older people than to younger people.

Old people get cash and benefits, young people get debt, which then helps increase the value of assets older people own.

Will be interesting to see this play out with proportionally fewer and fewer young people.

I personally think all of the VPN providers are essentially selling snake oil. In addition, I think there are better tools for the job. If you want anonymity, use Tor. If you want to bypass geo-restricted content, use Bittorrent.

From a strategy standpoint, I am not sure how this helps Tailscale at all. It changes how I view them and not in a good way.
Worth watching for whom though? The critics have no idea what my tastes are. But I am pretty sure they are different from a film critic - I don't even know anyone who is a film critic or who knows anyone who is a film critic (and is not afraid to admit it). And from all evidence available, those critics by now are mostly into the business of shilling for studios, virtue signalling and sniffing their own farts. Why would I care what this bunch thinks is worth watching? If they want to watch it, let them, but it has nothing to do with me.
Didn't they just throw out a bunch of reviews when the audience didn't care for it but the people in charge wanted a good showing?

The shadow of the Butcher's Thumb looms large. I've started to see it more and more. Everyone wants to put their sticky digits on the scale to push it in the direction they like. Film reviews, product testing, the news ... and there's so many ways they can do it: the "window" of the data, deciding what is an outlier, and so on. I get to feeling paranoid when I look into it.
