This could become something useful in the future, but right now it appears to be toy models only. I'm assuming Cloudflare will add useful models eventually, but the cold start times are going to be horrible on those. I'm struggling to think of useful applications for this. Maybe one day.
Dakota Earley age 23 was viciously attacked and shot 3 times and barely survived. all caught on video and you can hear the thieves demanding the passcode.

and before you dismiss it given the time of day or one off, armed robberies for cell phones are way up in chicago and they are occurring in broad daylight . the crime that keeps getting covered and that I know someone who this happened to is, 1 -2 people walking on the street, a car pulls up with 4 people . they all get out and have guns and force you to give up your phone and passcode. Armed Robberies are way up 44% 7978 cases and they are all for iPhones and passcodes . people are getting pistol whipped when they don't cooperate and increasingly even when they do.

> The threat of punishment is an effective deterrent.

> [Police] arresting for petty crime however [is] effective

Incorrect. These are myths that people fall back on when they want to advocate for the same policy positions that have produced worse social outcomes for at least the past 40 years. The same thing, over and over again, driven by the belief that punishment must be involved to deter crime.

The threat of punishment has zero effect on deterrence. "Certainty of being caught" apparently does, but as you build a police force that makes getting caught of committing a crime a certainty, you have already fallen into the same trap America (and her cities) fall into over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

"First rank" is the phrase from OP's link, not "first-rate", but in both cases it is not obvious to me that it is wrong for there to be mathematicians with that descriptor in every age. They sound like relative adjectives; "first rank" undoubtedly so, "first-rate" to a lesser extent.

"Who are the first-rate/first rank musicians of $YEAR" does not seem to me like it could be answered with "there were none in that year".
I often keep a short piece of paracord or nylon rope in my pocket for tying knots. It works well for keeping my hands busy. I'll often tie a chain sinnet, a series of half-hitches so that they spiral, a diamond knot, or just a bunch of other knots that I try to remember how to tie.

What knots do you tie when you're just trying to keep your hands busy?
When I hear "smart glasses", I'm thinking either a display, or some kind of active optics.

I'm mostly joking but there might be a couple cases where that makes sense for me...
I'm in the same case.

To me, people who are not doctors or neuro scientists who criticize ssri are like antivax people.

I'm tired of people linking to exploratory studies on psychedelics and then saying they're better than SSRI. Same anecdotal people who claims psychedelics cured them of depression while they were not diagnosed, and there is no proof it cured them.

Psychedelics are not FDA approved treatments you can use without supervision.

I'm suspecting there is a lobby of people targeting gullible patients who have mental health problem and sell them whatever. It's an insult to me.
The cognitive load of the notifications is an interesting point that I hadn't considered; I can see myself being distracted by those in the workflow I proposed in my previous comment.

I wonder if much of this could be solved by OS-level functionality (or at least having it in a developer-accessible SDK) that allows the new "always-on" lock screens to immediately trigger an application on a single tap.

The answer for IG seems somewhat easy. It takes as much work for a UX designer to design the French translation as the [very minor language] translation. Or financial disclosure requirements in Germany vs Andorra. Each employee serves fewer people (assuming you start in the biggest regions).

The same logic applies to bugs on more and more obscure setups, or more and more niche features.
"He needed grand jury subpoenas, he said, to force the phone company to turn over records of calls and text messages for what he called a “confidential internal investigation.”

Sheriff Bailey scrawled a brief note on a subpoena form and gave it to a paralegal in the district attorney’s office. “Please keep this confidential between you and I,” the note read. “Possible wrongdoing by school district employee.”

But his requests had nothing to do with alleged wrongdoing, or any criminal investigation, according to a previously undisclosed report obtained by The New York Times and the Mississippi Center for Investigative Reporting at Mississippi Today. Instead, Sheriff Bailey tapped into the power of a grand jury at least eight times over a year to spy on his married girlfriend and the school employee with whom she was also “unfaithful,” the documents show."

Reminiscent of the widespread abuse of EDRs by today's script kiddies.

Or tie it as a double round-turn bowline, with an extra turn for both the "rabbit" going around the tree, and for the hole.

In a previous job I had to constantly take my office master key out of my pocket and put it back. Before long I made a lanyard for it with a brass clip to go on a belt loop and a regular split ring on the other end, both attached with a normal bowline. After a short period, maybe a few weeks to a month, I noticed it loosening up. I retied it with double round-turn bowlines on each end, and it held together like that for years.
This is a reason we should hang onto remote work as a first option. Life is too short to have to choose career over family and friends. We work to live. Having to sacrifice proximity to our people is not something we should accept lightly. If a job can be remote it should be.
In this case written in C++ is goodness. Also, having it be a variant of ClickHouse server that can run embedded or standalone is quite nice.

I tried going down that rabbit hole once, and it seemed to break things (although I didn't spend a ton of time on it). I own it on Steam too, so I can play custom songs via that. It's just that's tied to my computer upstairs and I usually prefer to play untethered in my living room.

Most of my custom songs on the Quest I've done have actually been for the game Ragnarock, because it doesn't require sideloading anything, just copying files onto your Quest from your computer. That one is quite fun also.
Probably because people are stuck in the 2010's. OpenJDK used to have more compatibility issues.

A lot of times there can be a feeling of being wrong without it being intentional. In this case I think the mention of AWS being a partner shows intent to put value behind what they are doing for their stakeholders.

The license for Llama 2 is pretty intense, but mirrors that intent by limiting interactions with individuals at scale, as well as limiting anything learned from the model through inference in being used to train another model. I suspect this is because the dataset on which it was trained is the company's IP, which again is for the shareholder's benefit.

The code is open though, I think out of necessity. AI poses a significant challenge for our survival, and making it open is an indication of transparency. They still need to make money at what they do and charge people for using their IP, within reason.

I guess my question would be that, if I used Llama (not the code, but the model itself) to code up a new model, would that be a derivative work?
It looks like a bug in the grammar. I’ll bookmark this and see if I can make time for it later. Probably won’t be able to. I recently build a grammar from scratch so I’m okay at tree sitter
You're overthinking it by a lot. Tao is not an inherently religous concept, at least for most people. Actually the use of "The Tao of..." (...之道) is somewhat common in modern writing.

Indeed, the GP's description of the situation is backwards. In the US, harming consumers is the surest way to lose an antitrust case. In the EU, they use regulatory powers to protect competitors, even when it harms consumers.
It's awful. On death row in Texas for the crime of bringing their chronically ill child to the hospital in distress.

Texas has a history of executing the disabled and presenting "expert" junk science as evidence. https://www.propublica.org/article/is-texas-still-executing-...

https://www.texastribune.org/2011/04/15/texas-psychologist-p...

Illinois had similar problems with the death penalty, including likely executing innocent people.

Arkansas executed an innocent but convicted person in 2017 who was subsequently cleared by DNA evidence. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/making-sense-chaos/2...

So it seems the death penalty cannot be enforced if it cannot be investigated or adjudicated with a necessary and sufficient degree of rigor. It also doesn't serve a purpose as a deterrent (criminals aren't smart enough to anticipate outcomes). Furthermore, it makes the society that dispenses it appear governed by a 3rd-world authoritarian regime. Finally, it's an expensive process and a bloodlust spectacle. Better off keeping cretins alive behind bars for the remote possibility of rehabilitation and let them live with themselves rather than giving them an easy out.

It is a wedge for some, but not at all 'evil', at least not for the reason you are providing. If you feel it is cannibalizing your company's business model, my apologies.
Jony Ive is involved, so it will probably cost $1,500 and require you to turn it upside down to charge it. But damn if it doesn't look sexy sitting on your desk...

> we broke up 2 months ago

Let's talk how that actually works in a business sense. Did you leave the company? Relinquish all control? Did you boot the cofounder out or did you buy out their portion?

What type of arrangement is this? Partnership? LLC? How did you register the entity?

"Broke up" doesn't really say anything.

Assuming you were in a partnership and you both have authority to make decisions on behalf of the company then you are free to just pay the contractors. So is your cofounder. Unless your governance documents indicate otherwise this is 100% valid.
Shoutout to Chaitanya Kulkarni. I submitted my first kernel patch after digging into why a group of new NVMe drives were having trouble all coming up in the same boot and they went out of their way to help me clean it up, format it correctly, and still get submitted under my name. I was already happy someone was willing to help me get it fixed properly but they went the extra mile.
David Brin's 'Earth' novel (which feels very prescient in some ways) has elderly people wearing sunglasses that continuously capture live video which is monitored by (private?) security companies. If I recall correctly, in the novel this effectively eliminates street-crime.
I had a discussion with someone who had some real knowledge, and they said Meta can't really make a business with Quest just via Beat Saber. It has some backing, but not a lot of backing, most of their effort on Quest are elsewhere.

I totally get that, I just wish it wasn't so. To me, Quest is the ultimate fitness/active but casual gaming device.

Yeah, it seems to think the joke is about the graphics card being represented as a burger (and that the size is physical) and not about the amount of VRAM being insufficient.
Well, you have to start somewhere.
I used to live near friends, and commuted by car 20-30 minutes each way to work. I actually enjoy driving and enjoyed the commute, generally, but recognized it was a chunk of time out of my day. (Granted, once I lived closer to work, I bike commuted instead, so while it was a shorter-distance commute that was healthier for myself and the environment and my wallet, it didn't really save me a ton of time)

So, I reasoned, why not live closer to work and only "commute" on those occasional times when I gather for dinner or other social events with friends? After all, it's far less frequent, and happens off-hours sometimes.

Of course, what actually happened was socializing and maintaining those connections felt like a LOT more of a chore. (You want me to drive WHERE? At rush hour? Just for dinner?)

Turns out, the obvious incentives tied to one's livelihood are stronger than the obvious incentives of friendship/socializing.

Sounds amazing! Would love to hear about your stories and learnings should you ever choose to write about them :)
You're vastly underestimating the know-how that's required for doing stuff.

Reproducing research done by other teams can be very difficult even if you have experimented people in your lab, and there are tons of stuff that are never written anywhere in research papers and at still being taught in person by senior members of the lab to younger folks: it's never going to happen in the training set of your LLM, and you'd then need tons of trial and errors to actually get things working. And if you don't understand what you're even trying to do, you have zero chance to learn from your mistake (nor does the LLM, with your uninformed eyes as sole input for gaining feedback).
Musk's questionable decisions aside, I don't see how X can succeed being an everything app a la WeChat. (Aren't they also planning to pivot to becoming a video app? What is the vision combining both?) You know what social media app that also supports sending payments, video submissions, had/has its own content channel of shows, even a knock-off of HQ Trivia? Facebook. And who ever used FB in its portal-like form? Besides the Feed, Events, Groups, and Marketplace, who bothers with the everything features? I question that the WeChat model is really applicable for U.S. markets anyway, as it really depends if food delivery, ridesharing, etc. other companies are willing to team up with an everything app platform-maker.

Google is plagued by product execution issues. Any attempt at such an app will just fill a larger plot in the Google Graveyard. Microsoft doesn't even do social- what do they have, LinkedIn? Yammer? The Xbox network? X faces an uncertain future. Funnily enough I think Uber would have been a contender back under Kalanick's reign, but they don't have the same juice they used to.
Long-running server processes are not only "not an issue" for the JVM, they're the main use case in which the JVM is superior to AOT compilation! Same is true for C# and the .NET CLR, by the way.

If you're running a Lambda function in which startup time is extremely important, or an embedded application where size and resources are paramount, or even just a short-lived process where you don't care either way... then AOT makes a lot of sense.

But for long-running server processes, just-in-time compilation almost always results is better performance than AOT compilation that cannot optimize at runtime based on what's actually happening.

HN should be full of people who know better, but these discussions feel like piping information into /dev/null. Web devs, students and hobbyists, and other low-information voters just have it in their heads that AOT is always a superior model, and JIT always an inferior fallback, and there's nothing you can say to break through that. There aren't enough people from the business server side world who spend enough time in online discussion forums to correct the narrative.
What would you propose? Json?
It may be regional. Jobs grew up in Mountain View and I grew up in Santa Clara, just a few miles down the road. My parents and teachers always said something resembling "jag-wire" in pronunciation.

People already regularly use their phones for this kind of image capture (taking a picture as documentation, not for nostalgic memories or sharing). This seems like a positive signal. Voice doesn't get used this way, but the voice interactions are cumbersome on the phone mostly because the platform is not open enough, not because of form factor issues.

In regards to voice: there's no way to have access to the easy start mechanisms of wake words or quick button access and also control what happens before intent resolution and endpointing (i.e., deciding when the voice interaction is done). You can have your own app with its own "record" button: hard to open but you have control of what happens. Or you use the assistant infrastructure and have to compete with every other Apple/Google product goal and parsing approach, and at best you have a chance to do further recording only after the initial intent has fully resolved, the mic has closed, and you can reopen it.

So yes a phone can do all that, and it ALSO would be awesome, but just like with these glasses you can't ACTUALLY implement this.
As much as I dislike openai, you are right: google is altavista. Not just because chatgpt is advanced but because google is steadily regressing. Their search is appaling - both engine, inbox and google drive. Simply appaling. It's taking the route of IBM - turning focused grouped to death.

MIDI was enthusiastically supported by Yamaha and Roland, two of the biggest synth players of that era.

So I imagine, for it to become widely successful, that this new standard would need the wholehearted support of at least 2 of Steinberg, Apple, Ableton, and Avid.
They also destroy perfectly good computers with their trade-in system, reducing the resale and spare parts market. This would be the plot of one of those environmentalist children's cartoons.
It seems that this happens, but rarely, something like once a year with Sony, so I never thought it was an attack response. But it make sense now.
Wait, using it on a Mac let's it fill passwords from apps like Steam?

The permissiveness of the license with regards to use isn’t the crux of the argument.

The open source family of licenses are about freedom. If I’m not given the tools to recreate a model, then I’m not afforded the freedoms normally associated with these open licenses. Really there’s little difference between Apache and CC-BY here.
That depends a lot on the customer's need, no?

If the application is a single .exe or something that works fine when you unzip a .zip wherever, then the installer functionality needed is almost trivial.

My limited experience is that most complexity in installers comes from the system not helping making it comfortable. Like something not having a simple to use version number, but having to check for 5 registry keys instead, or some such.
You're right, it's creating commits but it's not just creating GHAs. It's also directly altering the targetted project's javascript to steal credentials from end users using the project. (Edited with correction as below.)

Nothing you do will somehow make him behave well. Pissing off a whole lot of other people by screwing them financially out of fear of his reprisal means now you have more enemies and a black mark against your character on top of a nutcase hounding you who will do insane, abusive garbage for irrational reasons.

Any protection you have from him lies in not screwing others in the name of covering your ass here.

He's going to keep trying to hurt you no matter what you do. Others will protect you or not to some degree largely based on your behavior.
The curious thing about this, though, is that of course you can start by replacing software engineers with it, but how far away are you going to be from being able to replace a CEO with it? I would say not that far away.
