None of this seems related to LLMs. Propaganda produced by humans is effective because of the massive scale of distribution, being able to produce more variations of the same talking points doesn't change the threat risk.
Ask HN: How do authenticator apps work?
Does anyone know how 2 factor authenticator services work? I'm curious how it's possible for the services reading them and the services creating them to predictably know the exact digit sequence at a given time without being knowable to 3rd parties. From an cursory undergraduate CS education it feels like a related but different problem to hash functions. Just curious!
The best part: it sounds like floppy music.

There must be some hidden, universal...
This is my exact use case. I need up to date software and I don't want to wait for a package or roll my own package.
It depends on the input distribution. If it’s very common to have smaller values then the linear search could be superior.
Interesting how the same exact blog url was used previously in April 2021.

Oh, we're going to court now?

Seriously, this is getting way out of hand: when contributing to a project that has been going for more than a few decades you need to first familiarize yourself with how things are done to set your expectations for the interaction appropriately. The Linux kernel group does a pretty good job and they have their own ways of doing things. It's custom - and polite - to get the lay of the land before yelling 'robbery' when what actually happened is exactly what is supposed to happen: the bug got fixed, you got credited for the report and the maintainer spent some of their - precious - time on getting your proposal - because that is what a patch sent to LKML is - fixed and included.

And that's ignoring for the moment the fact that the interaction wasn't at all like the OP suggested it was.
Alumni Poll: The most valuable part of YC is the community
When you start to validate the idea, you’re going to keep hearing “we use in person networks to solve the problem”. I can’t see a good way through that objection while earning revenue. Can you?
I wonder if this is exacerbated by human tendencies to not want to look bad relative to others, even if it leads to silly outcomes like intelligent people following a bad or rushed idea.

Something similar happens in public economic forecasts because those who get it wrong when others get it right are treated much more harshly than those who get it wrong when others get it wrong too.
I hardly ever just copy and paste for the exact reason the author talks about. Instead, I try to make sense of the solution, and if I have to, I'll hand-copy it down line-by-line to make sure I properly understand and refactor from there. I also rename variables, since often times there are so many foos and bars and bazes that it's completely unreadable by a human.

Also if I come across the problem a second time, I'll have better luck remembering what I did (as opposed to blindly copying).
That article was about the judge being asked to rule whether or not the documents can be posted. It was updated today to reflect the actual ruling that they could be posted. So not a dupe.
There is a long history of technocracy movements. Always fails. Cause the connection with ordinary people is not real.
Short answer, possibly, especially if it was say part of a rag system or some other architecture like that. There is room for more. Nothing particularly special about llama.cpp as the llm back end though. It's optimized for running on lower-end hardware which matters less if you're serving models as a service. But it has many strengths.

Llama.cpp / ggml is the open core of ggml.ai founded by GG and funded by the guy from github, so they have some monetization plan for it.
Well, that'd put you at odds with state leadership in CA who see their current situation in a much more sober light. Going from unchecked projected growth to projected stagnation in a 3 year span isn't something I've experienced in other parts of the country in my lifetime, so I'm glad you're ready for it.

FWIW, I currently live in a "high crime" east coast city -- the kind Californians hold up as a boogeyman versus their "safe" cities. I chose it after years of "safe" SF declining.
Choices can make you unhappy.
WGA is a guild, technically, not a union — because most writers are 1099d by studios, not actually full-time employees. Hence the need for collective protections, as contractors in the US have much less guarantees than W2 employees, and thus a co-op structure is almost infeasible any way you look at it.
> I cannot wait to ask it how to make nuclear weapons, psychedelic drugs

Your town's university library likely has available info for that already. The biggest barrier to entry is, and has been for decades:

- the hardware you need to buy

- the skill to assemble it correctly so that it actually works as you want,

- and of course the source material, which has a high controlled supply chain (that's also true for drug precursors, even though much less than for enriched uranium of course).

Not killing yourself in the process is also a challenge by the way.

AI isn't going to help you much there.

> to write erotica.

If someone makes an LLM that's able to write good erotica, despite the bazillion crap fanfics it's been trained upon, that's actually an incredible achievement from an ML perspective…
That's why these are two forces: the interests of the business, and the interests of the workers. The idea is that they negotiate and compromise, and a good balance is found.

Second sentence of the article: "This is a great example of how unions can really work for their members."

This is a PR stunt just like all the Boom Aerospace PR stunts years ago. Go read the comments on those old Boom posts that defended accusations that it was empty marketing.
The fix to neither lies in technology. And it doesn't lie in AI alignment.

We cannot align AI because WE are not aligned. For 50% of congress (you can pick your party as the other side, regardless which one you are), the "AI creates misinformation" narrative sounds like "Oh great, I get re-elected easier").

This is a governance and regulation problem - not a technology problem.

Big tech would love you to think that "they can solve AI" if we follow the China model of just forcing everything to go through big tech and they'll regulate it pliantly in exchange for market protection and the more pressure there is on their existing growth models, the more excited they are about pushing this angle.

Capitalism requires constant growth, which unfortunately is very challenging given diminishing returns in R&D. You can only optimize the internal combusion engine for so long before the costs of incremental increases start killing your profit, and the same is true to any other technology.

And so now we have big Knife Company who are telling governments that they will only sell blunt knifes and nobody will ever get hurt, and that's the only way nobody gets hurt because if there's dozens of knife stores, who is gonna regulate those effectively.

So no, I don't think your concerns are actually related to AI. They are related to society, and you're buying into the narrative that we can fix it with technology if only we give the power over that technology to permanent large gate-keepers.

The risks you flag are related to:
- Distribution of content at scale.
- Erosion of trust (anyone can buy a safety mark).
- Lack of regulation and enforcement of said risks.
- The dilemma of where the limits of free speech and tolerance lie.

Many of those have existed since Fox News.
What was the goal of this?
I bought into NuPhy with their original release, the NUTYPE F1, and had a terrible experience with them—both the product and customer service was defective.

The keyboard I received had many quality issues, and others online reported the same. When contacting support, they required many back and forth emails, asking for more photos and videos each time. After weeks of this, I got this from support,
“Sorry for the inconvenience.
Follow the return process, customers need to return the products to us firstly and pay for the return freight.
We'll give you refund when we got your return goods after checked,there's really with quality problem.”

This is after sending both photos/videos of the obvious defects and quality issues… and return shipping would be back to Hong Kong.

In the end, I just took this as a learning experience to never back a “kickstarter” product again.

Some additional insight:

-preordered keyboard: 8/2020

-received keyboard: 11/2020

-20% discount offer on new purchases: 11/2020

-keycap update and new product promoted: 12/2020

In summary, I waited 3 months to get charged an extra 20% for an inferior product that got discontinued a month later. I cannot recommend NuPhy.
You built Patreon, even that stock photos carousel you have above the fold is ripped from patreon.com but the rest of isn't even built out.

So yeah, you niched down to say creators and IRL tasks, tossed in some sense of community activism.

Well, this is an example of how it really is about ideas and not just execution to reach success.

This is a great idea. Who hadn't thought of some utopian altruism in the middle of a global crisis?

But it's not a good idea. Because you don't have the means to get traction because it's a two sided platform play that without critical mass will not lead to further utility. And because it's merely but a singular use case out of multiple for the larger entrenched competitor.

You need more usage to even build your way into success and you don't have usage because... while this is a great idea it's not a good idea.

But now we're here.

You want to know what to do?

1. Highlight user stories.

Find the most interesting one, make content, share. Segment on a morning infotainment news? Blog articles on guest writing platforms? Sappy robot voice TikTok videos? Reddit?

2. Quit and add this to your portfolio.

Your friends and families don't want to be spammed with this. Don't be weird about it.
Why? Theres no expectation for you to put in a lot of effort, and if in the hands of a domain expert, could have taken minimal effort. I'm sure everyone has had PRs that could have been resolved in minutes if the submitter had reached out first.

Complaining about it reeks of a junior developer mentality.
I honestly hope to god MS continues to produce these keyboards. It's the only keyboard I've rebought because I love it so much. The ergonomic tilt both inward and upward, with the scissor switch keys, all for $100, is f'ing incredible.

This is the defacto keyboard I recommend to everyone who types a ton a day.
Fun analogy, but the link you provided seems to contradict your interpretation:

> An indulgence does not forgive the guilt of sin, nor does it provide release from the eternal punishment associated with unforgiven mortal sins. The Catholic Church teaches that indulgences relieve only the temporal punishment resulting from the effect of sin ... an indulgence is not a permit to commit sin, a pardon of future sin, nor a guarantee of salvation for oneself or for another.
Or you can just use OpenJDK, right?
You know the implementation, if any, is going tobe optional for end users right? You dont have to install anything you dont want to.
I wouldn't characterize any agricultural co-op like Ocean Spray as the same category as a worker co-op like Mondragon. There is a very distinct line between a farmer, who's an owner, and a farm worker, who handles most of the day-to-day operations.
That’s basically the point of the article
Historically, co-ops arise from the ashes of a dead or dying company where the workers know the process inside and out.

Edit: the other instances (much fewer) are when the company founders either start with a co-op in mind or want to transition their company to one as part of their legacy

Are you implying that it is unions that cause corporations to seek offshoring, automation etc.?

From where I stand it’s a constant race to extract more from workers and unions and possibly legislation are some of the very few forces impeding it.
That’s nice, but seeing as they have not yet even demonstrated a machine that achieves energy breakeven, this seems like premature hype.
> Because that requires skillsets they don't have.

This is reductive, union organizers have management skills that would transfer over if needed. The reason co-ops are not more common is moreso because there aren't the same kinds of institutions that support their growth like there are for traditional companies.
This sounded pretty strong to me, so I did a quick napkin-math check of feasibility (in short - it passed the napkin check).

On a sunny day, total solar energy hitting the top of the atmosphere gives about 1360 watts per square meter (source - top result from google, something something NASA). It takes about 4.184 joules to raise one ml of water by 1 degree celsius. Let's suppose that the "suitcase" proposed in the article has 1 square meter of space (a pretty large suitcase) and is able to capture 100 percent of solar energy (unreasonably effective). Then pure solar energy-wise, there is enough energy to raise 325 ml of water by one degree of celsius per second in a square meter. If the water is, say, at 16 degrees (the temperature of the ocean near me), in would take 84 seconds to bring 325 ml of water to boiling temperature. To transform boiling water to steam, each ml of water takes an additional 2257 joules. In 540 seconds, the 325 ml of water is now converted to steam.

In total, it has taken 624 seconds to steamify 325 ml of water (under very optimistic circumstances). Morally one could do this almost 6 times in an hour, giving approximately 2 litres of water per hour.

(Edit): Looking a bit closer, I see that the article's description of their work suggests that they recapture some of the energy from condensing the steam back into water. I didn't account for this. Even a moderate amount of recapture changes the math very favorably.

This makes me suspect that their claim of 4-6 liters per hour would require a rather large "suitcase"-sized device, but is within the ballpark of reason.

> When I talk to young people who live in some generic suburb I can't help but feel depressed.

On the other hand, I grew up and spent about the first two-thirds of my life in an extremely rural area. Socializing happened only at school, and when your nearest friends are a thirty minute drive away, you learn to effectively spend time alone.

I read, I wandered through the woods, I played video games. Activities I still enjoy.

It was nice spending my 20s a few minutes walk from my friends, restaurants, my office, etc, but it certainly got overwhelming. People were inviting me to do stuff nearly every night. I frequently wondered if people just live like that and when they found the time to just do normal alone stuff.

Since they don’t seem to be able to give a simple answer: the inference does not run in the worker. It connects to external GPUs.
Just be careful getting anything that you barely use (I.e., less risk of breaking). Since we are locked to the AppStore, older iOS products can’t even download certain apps and there isn’t a way to get a previous app version that works with your product.

Simple apps like YouTube require iOS 14+. If you didn’t download before or had to factory reset once the app version updates, you are SoL.
BRB, gonna rewrite every repo I’m on to credit the linter as the author of every commit.
That's a _very_ incorrect statement. You can use any OpenJDK (which is GPLv2 with classpath exception) distribution you want to run Apache Zookeeper without having to have any agreement with Oracle or pay any fee. The Oracle JDK is just Oracle's commercial version of their OpenJDK distribution with Oracle support.

You can use the OpenJDK distro shipped in your Linux distro (RedHat, Debian, etc.), you can use Microsoft's OpenJDK distro[1], you can use the Eclipse OpenJDK distro, you can use Amazon's OpenJDK distro [3] and there are a whole bunch more.

The point is, it greatly reduces the amount of resources needed to do some serious damage, as well as the level of sophistication needed.

You don't need AGI to do damage, current LLMs are already dangerous.
IMO, an open-source affordable unfiltered GPT-5 would ruin the internet in a few months.
Does a nurse working a 32 hour week monitor as many patients as one who works a 40 hour week?

Does a grocery store worker who stocks shelves stock as many cans of food and boxes of slop in 32 hours as he does in 40?

It is absurd, disingenuous, and even sinister to suggest that their productivity is equal with a reduced week. There are hundreds, probably even thousands, of distinct jobs where this is the truth.

There are relatively few jobs where equal productivity continues with the reduced work week. They are all office jobs.

It is impossible that even if companies were forced to go with a reduced work week and were unable to cheat this regulation to any meaningful degree, that they would continue to pay the same for 20% less productivity. Worst case scenario for them is that they simply allow inflation to erode pay more than it does already. Given that even many menial workers earn above minimum wage, there are very few jobs where this isn't possible (and those few jobs are likely part-time anyway, where this reform is irrelevant).

If one truly wanted to help those who are hurting the worst, this is completely ass-backwards. It seems designed to make those who are already comfortable a little more so.
Agreed. This thread confuses me because I get the impression that cycling is the _only_ form of exercise many bicycling enthusiasts are willing to engage in. I can understand if someone is a professional or aspiring professional and wants to train during the "off-season", but for Pete's sake, does it not get boring after three or four hours? It reminds me a lot of long distance runners and the treadmill. Like, what's the problem with doing arm exercises, strength training or HIIT? I have a lot of respect for endurance athletes, but to fixate on a single exercise seems to require a degree of obsessiveness.
The author says at the beginning that it’s not actually better than the loop.

Also 6 comparisons is only if you’d have the max value which seems unlikely in actual usage. Linear could be better if most of the time values are in B or KB ranges

I guess I remembered it incorrectly? This looks pretty good:

> Deno KV databases are replicated across at least 6 data centers, spanning 3 regions (US, Europe, and Asia). Once a write operation is committed, its mutations are persistently stored in a minimum of two data centers within the primary region. Asynchronous replication typically transfers these mutations to the other two regions in under 10 seconds.

Some people have their whole "GitHub resumes" built off copy-pasted contributions.

1. Open PR

2. Get comments asking for changes, you only have time to fix it a few days later.

3. PR gets closed as fixed by another PR submitted by a frequent contributor.

4. Find said PR is your exact code with a variable name change (approved instantly through lower
'friend' review standards)

5. Look at that user's profile and notice almost every contributions were copy-pasted from other people.

If starting from scratch, PNG files may actually be more complex, since decoding is needed. On the other hand, once a drawing API is available, it is easier to map some form of vector graphics encoding which calls corresponding drawing instructions. At the same time, this would also solve scaling issues and the vector graphics assets also normally takes far less space.

No idea about how viable the idea itself is, but the design is indeed great and makes everything feel a little bit more trustworthy, good job on that.
I often wonder where all the ipods went.
where you and i differ is thinking that more cops & more prisons actually solves anything. i'm getting old, and watching the ultra rich play the same tune on the same horn, exploiting people's legit fears & concerns to stump for the same ineffective solutions that have proven over and over and over and over and over again to be nothing but gussied-up racial & socioeconomic oppression is getting old too.

we've already done the carceral state thing. It doesn't solve anything. history has taught us this lesson already. it's brain-dead to keep pimping for it like he's doing.
This is a case of militancy.

If we're talking about a typed integer there is no chance of that turning into an sql injection attack.

If we're talking about a string, I'd probably insist on parameterizing it even if we completely own it just on the off chance that the future changes.

To draw an analogy, gun safety is important and everyone knows it. But I don't practice gun safety while watching television on my couch because the gun is locked away. I practice gun safety when I'm actually handling the thing that is dangerous.

And yes, I realize it being locked away is technically gun safety, it's an imperfect analogy, please roll with it.

Ellipses is actually used in quite a few places. See the answers and comments on this stackoverflow post[0]. The usage most similar to what I have in the magentic examples is with the `@overload` decorator in the typing module[1].

With that said, you are free to put any code in the function body including `pass` or just a docstring or even `raise NotImplementedError` - it will not be executed. Using Ellipses satisfies VSCode/pyright type checking and seemed neatest to me for the examples and docs. I have some additional notes on this in the README[2].
