The most interesting part to me is that Claude 1.3 outperformed GPT-4.[1] They also note that Claude stories are "more likely to be attributed to an amateur writer than an AI, whereas GPT3.5 and GPT4 stories are 80%+ attributed to AI."

Which question is that? Apple implemented things on top of the standard to make Apple headphones work better than standard BT devices with their own hardware. But they still implement the standards.

This shows the power of an integrated solution. Apple released a better way to pair Bluetooth headphones with their devices and at the same time got the better method implemented across their computers, phones, tablets, watches and set top boxes.

That’s something you couldn’t do with an open standard as quickly.

I pair my headphones to one device that I’m signed into and they automatically get recognized by all my devices.
Yeah, I'm not doubting that, and this is consistent with my own experience. But the claim was that it was specific to NVMe SSDs, which I find very odd.
I mean, pure emacs nerds just use eshell or similar. Then the keybindings match 100% and things like "more" get turned into "open this in a buffer" etc. Though you give up full bash compatibility. but there's "shell" if you want bash (or zsh for that matter) inside emacs itself, without the fancy stuff eshell gives you.

I've never fully made this transition, but have at times played with it, when I've been feeling extra-emacs-excited.

Congrats on the launch!!

I am previously the founder of a synthetic monitoring startup, devraven.io.

Just sharing my experience - monitoring is brutally competitive. From my conversations most large enterprises have very little synthetic monitoring, they use DDOG or other APM tools and do not want to try any new tools for few thousand dollar savings. And in a lot of cases they are comfortable with their custom test frameworks that use Selenium. Some are even worried that setting up synthetic monitoring will bring down their environment or trash their database with junk data ::sigh::

Most smaller companies we spoke to are not mature enough to have monitoring and did not have resources who can setup monitoring. They used to ask us for help to build tests for them. Asks for discounts on $29.99/mo price point were not uncommon.

After few months of operating the product, we did find few angels who were interested in investing in us (not the product). But in the end, we did not feel that we can make good use of investor money and provide a decent return to them, so we ended up backing out of the investment and chose to shutdown the product.
I don't know the source for the above stat, but for another frequently-mentioned one, "40% of Americans can't cover a $400 unexpected expense" it looks like the fed accounted for that:

>When faced with a hypothetical expense of $400, 63 percent of all adults in 2022 said they would have covered it exclusively using cash, savings, or a credit card paid off at the next statement (referred to, altogether, as “cash or its equivalent”). The remainder said they would have paid by borrowing or selling something, or said they would not have been able to cover the expense.

I wouldn't be too happy about such a divide into high-level analysis and interpretation on one hand, computational social science, on the other hand. A certain degree of intimacy with your data is essential. There are even cases, where high-level descriptors would suggest one thing, while in the actually data, there emerges an entirely different picture.
It's effectively buying votes with someone else's money. You run a campaign with a promise that amounts to: I'm going to tax 0.01% of the population and distribute it to everyone else. Do you think that impacts whether you get votes from the remaining 99.99%?

It's easy to suggest taxing people who aren't in your target supporter base.

Agreed on overnight batch processing. Although my vision for it is to have a sort of local service that can provide "intelligence" on demand for other apps, which might request it concurrently, at which point double digit throughput might become limiting.

There are other reasons to want a higher throughput. To perform retrieval or for a chain-of-thought approach, you typically need to run several prompts per user prompt, effectively impacting user-perceived performance of your LLM based solution.

I always thought legitimacy in democracy came
through the support of the people which is gained
through serving them and their interests

This new form of "democracy" where the elites

everyone is the newest form of authoritarianism,
IMO.

Even a highly educated citizen has about, what, 0.0001% of the specialized domain knowledge required to make the tactical and strategic decisions that go into running a large city, let alone a country.

Do you want things like dams, roads, a functional air traffic control system, etc? Do you, personally, know how to do all of those things? Do you think the majority of your fellow citizens do?

If you feel that your particular government does a bad job of listening to citizens and empowering experts to actually do the things then hey: that is a 100% valid complaint. But we take it a step too far when we decide that the problem is the very concept of listening to and empowering people who actually know what they are doing.

JUPUS GmbH | Senior Python/Django Developer | Remote | Full-time | Europe

At JUPUS we are doing client onboarding for lawyers for the German market. Currently in seed stage, got funding earlier this year. Product launch in may year, great traction so far. Our tech stack is Python/Django (ninja API) + TypeScript/Vue.js. Considering switching to Django + HTMX to bring more speed into development.

We are looking for a senior developer. Ideally someone who is experienced and wants to build a team of software engineers for the next stages of the company. Proficiency in German is required ~B2/C1. The codebase/comments are in English but team members outside of the engineering department are all German.

Contact me directly at jannis.gebauer@jupus.de
Kombo (YC S22) | €70K - €90K EUR | Full-Time | Berlin, Germany | ONSITE
Kombo builds a unified API for HR, payroll and recruiting systems. We're working with companies of all sizes - from Fortune 500 companies down to early stage startups - to help them integrate dozens of software vendors within a few days instead of months.

Reasons you might want to work at Kombo

- Modern, yet robust tech stack (TypeScript, Prisma, tRPC, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes)

- Extremely strong team - backgrounds from Oxford, Harvard, TUM, CODE and more

- Grew from 4 to 12 people within a year, and looking to 2.5x next year as well

- Early enough to make a significant contribution and have the 'early stage' startup' feeling; late enough to be significantly derisked (we are already profitable)

- Strong onsite culture in hip Berlin office

- Competitive salaries and equity compensation

We're looking for senior engineers to join us in various positions and are actively hiring! :) We are into radical candor, shipping code fast and sometimes being a bit crazy. Feel free to reach out to me at arne@kombo.dev or apply at https://www.workatastartup.com/companies/kombo (mention Hacker News) if this sounds interesting!
>A charge usually takes 20-30 minutes. You get a five minute grace period, then you start getting hit with $1/min idle fees. That’s barely enough time to get from the far reaches of the parking lot to a store and back.

Forgive my ignorance, but are you telling me that you get charged $60/hour to park in a spot that has an EV charger in it if your car is done charging? And people are okay with doing that? How accurate is the "time left to charge" indicated? Can you monitor charge/est. time remaining on your phone?

The article doesn't say not to use code points, it says you should not be iterating on them.

Very rarely will you be implementing those algorithms. And if you're looking at character properties, the article says you should be looking at multiple together, which is correct.

I have a good friend who WAS observant of the Sabath when we were roommates. His new girlfriend, who was also Jewish, lived in the same apartment building 1 floor down. He'd frequently ask me to be his "Shabbat Goy". On Friday nights he and his girlfriend would like to watch a movie on their TV (VHS at that time). They'd start to watch the movie before Shabbat started, and I'd go down to their apartment at the designated time (after the movie), and turn off their TV for them. That arrangement was made BEFORE Shabbat obviously, as Jews can't ask a non-Jew to do "work" after Shabbat has started.
I also attended many Shabbat dinners at his parents house. There were always a lot of questions I had, about the fridge light coming on when it was opened (they would unscrew the light(s) before Shabbat). They had an alarm system too, with motion sensors that would turn on the red LED whenever someone walked by them, so they covered the motion sensor during Shabbat. It was pretty fascinating to learn all this stuff as a non-Jew.

I have, multiple times. I’ve also raised bilingual kids. Adults fare vastly better (an order of magnitude) than kids, when compared on a basis of hours invested. The thing is, kids are exposed to a language learning environment 24/7/365 with few other responsibilities or a mother tongue to fall back on to express themselves.

If you were able to put in the same immersion effort as is forced upon a kid, you’d be fluent in less than a year and native-level a few years later, for most languages.
That's honestly not surprising. Whatever RLHF Open ai does to the GPT models really messes with its creative writing. Like a hallmark filter over output if you don't try to steer it away. The Instruct models don't have the same problem to that degree.

I really hope Open ai releases a GPT-4 Instruct model, for this reason and for chess.
Advanced Audio Master visibly reduces C1 errors in recorded media, to almost negligible levels. While C1 error can be corrected without any degradation theoretically, its result is up to the CD player's capabilities (and quality).

CDRInfo's tests back in the day showed dramatic improvements in C1 levels, see [0]. Considering some of the lower end CD players by leading manufacturers didn't even had 16bit audio decoding and used late stage oversampling, reducing C1 errors was/is a big deal in recorded media.

As I said in my earlier comment, this mode lead to clearly audible improvements in my older, low-end Sony CD player. I don't how how will it fare in my new Yamaha player due to technology improvements.

No, an offline mode in WoW lets everyone cheat. Blizzard started with this, and it’s bad for cheating as well as recurring revenue. You can’t cheat at self-organising.

> its entire purpose is to exchange information online

I don’t think so. Its purpose is to express yourself freely and interlinked. A feature is that you can always share any hypermedia with others, and it does provide a lot of value in an organisation. But Notion would be valuable offline.

Unfortunately, a company like Notion is similarly incentivised to make their software dependent on connectivity, since they are a SaaSS (service as a software substitute); offline-first self-organising apps like Obsidian, Emacs org-mode, or VSCode Foam wouldn’t generate as much money; this is why Obsidian are heroes: they pick an architecture and business model that is in the interest of their users.
This seems fine. It'd be like buying a bunch of desert in Clark County in the early 1950s and then building Las Vegas. They're creating value for the land that they bought.
> It should do that in total epistemological freedom, being informed by everything from the latest in ML to the oldest in sociology and not bound by conventions of what constitutes a scientific explanation, etc.

So the author wants all the shine that being labeled a science brings without any of the heavy-lifting that science requires (i.e., following the “conventions of what constitutes a scientific explanation”).

I can play this game too: my life is evidence-based and data-driven, by which I do not mean that I gather and use data to help decision-making like crusty old “data scientists” learn to do nor do I follow any accepted standard of evidence, because I am an epistemological anarchist! My data is my experience and my evidence is how I feel in any given moment. I should get grants from grant-making agencies just for existing!

The point of laundering is sneaking in just enough bad with the good that it's more difficult/expensive to sort it out again than it is to accept that it's good and doesn't damage the brand.

The reputation of elite institutions is a product of them mixing in just enough bad[sons and daughters of the elite[1]] with the meritorious[high student performers] that it's not worth it for us to sort it out ourselves and doesn't damage the reputation of the institution.

The lazy rich kid to you, may be the perfect candidate to a VP hiring for an influential role. I'd be hasty to generalize your own perspective to those who are filling those seats.

I brought up merit laundering for a reason: offering free public institutions reduces the merit pool for elite institutions in a way that reduces their efficacy in laundering merit.

The meritorious care far less about the reputation of elite institutions than the elite do. After all, the launderers gain more from cleaning the dirty money than they do from dirtying the clean.

I haven't re-evaluated OSS TTS options for a few months but from my own experience earlier in the year I've been pleased with the results I've gotten from Piper:

* https://github.com/rhasspy/piper

I've primarily used it with the LibriTTS-based voices due to their license but if it's for personal local use you can probably use some of the other even higher quality voices.

The official samples are here: https://rhasspy.github.io/piper-samples/

Here's a small number of pre-rendered samples I've used that were generated from a WIP Piper port of my Dialogue Tool[0] project: https://rancidbacon.gitlab.io/piper-tts-demos/

While it's not perfect & output quality varies for a number of reasons, I've been using it because it's MIT licensed & there's multiple diverse voice options with licenses that suit my purposes.

(Piper and its predecessors Larynx & Mimic3 are significantly ahead of where other FLOSS options had been up until their existence in terms of quality.)
