> A "reasoning loop" argument is especially odd when applied to LLMs...which explicitly have architectural loops

Oh, I understood that the current crop of LLMs didn't have a way to push data back into itself. I know so little about LM architecture at this point. I need to work my way through the freeAI course that's out there. Maybe a tutorial or two on building one from scratch.
I'm one of those left that also deleted their years long accounts, and if I have to visit Reddit for something (as in, via search results), it's with an adblocker on.
So the WEB-DL rips are saved using homemade capture cards with the decryption module from popular consumer TVs since those can’t be revoked as they would brick those TVs?

Alternatively you plug into the output of the decryption module in the monitor before it hits the screen?
I've also dug further into my parts bin thinking "oh, that yellow cable would've been perfect, but I need a non-crossover cable"... could've used the yellow one instead of digging further. Ah well.
The De Havilland Beaver, an Engineering Masterpiece [video]
The Immortal Beaver follows the resurrection of de Havilland Beaver, “Olivia”, who has been resting quietly for years in the Arizona desert, adjacent to the infamous ‘aeroplane boneyard’ outside Tucson. With exclusive interviews with Harrison Ford- a proud Beaver pilot and owner- the film follows the compelling story of Olivia’s rescue and restoration- celebrating the history of a remarkable aircraft.
Just tested this. Pretty terrible compared to copilot. It's almost as if the context of the function isn't accounted for but makes suggestions based on the current or previous line. I'm assuming replit must be used mostly for educational purposes as I can't understand why any developer would use a sub-par IDE / environment for production services. If that assumption is correct then surely a terrible AI assistant would be counter productive for learning purposes.
If you have something to say, please say it. But don't bring these annoying content-free Redditisms like "X would like a word with you" onto this forum.

I keep seeing this suggestion (put devices on a subnet, lock them out of everything else)...

Do you have a link or guide to help me understand how to set this up. It seems like a great idea!
Its questionable whether Youtube (just as any others) ToS are enforceable and just within your jurisdiction.

Youtube is free to require logins and chose to terminate accounts when violating. As long as public video playback is supported and no DRM involved, I am free to block ads and even download content from within my jurisdiction (Germany).
I have an HP multi-function laster printer and got a similar message yesterday about my black toner running low. Got the same email with the same useless instructions to opt-out. I have and would never opt-into this feature.

I have a feeling this is alexa searching your network and helping itself to your devices.
Thank you! I too had no idea it existed before it happened to me.
Why should anyone have to wait for medical care? Sounds like a broken system to me. Prioritizing who gets through a bottleneck isn’t equality.
I understand why/how you use GitHub, but I don't understand linking to an empty repo from a HackerNews post. The product home page would have worked better.
HEVC, and H264 for that matter does have an "optimal quality" mode, which depends greatly on the source media, you could get full bitrate for highly active footage with tons of movement or you could get tiny bitrate if you are just shooting a still image for 20minutes.

They also both have inter and intra frame compression modes.

HEVC or H264 at the same bitrate in interframe mode would produce the same size files as Prores.

Regarding the comment that Apple Prores on iPhone is huge... We aren't discussing an Apple product here unless Apple bought Blackmagic while I wasn't looking.

Prores has it's use cases, go look them up, if you really just want to quickly shoot family vacation videos and not have it take up a ton of storage open the Apple camera app and hit record, the blackmagic app and Prores is likely not for you.
> The uClinux effort, per my understanding, was running independently for some time, before the decision has been made to mainline it, meaning it is now part of the Linux source code itself. Basically, what this means for us is that uClinux is now a set of configurations in the kernel build config, and we’ll get our MMU-less build easily.

Wow! How much of a regular desktop PC userland could I run entirely with a flat shared address space?
Fascinating how he's incorporated lessons from Go and Rust. The short primitives are definitely a boon for readability and using the s8 type over null-terminated strings is something that should be built in.
> If you don’t like ads and desire to continue using the service, it’s time to consider paying for it.

Or maybe just use something like AdNauseum that just emits a bunch of noise
It sounds like you haven’t been using vacation time, or am I misunderstanding?

Don’t forget to just take a lot of regular vacation time, especially if your company is one of those “unlimited” shops. Until you get a nastygram from HR I would just take whatever time you want off and don’t worry about using too much of it. Typically as long as you don’t exceed about 2 or 3 weeks at a time you’re fine.

If your employer doesn’t give you at least 20 days plus holidays, shop around for employers.

If your employer has separate sick days, don’t forget to “randomly” use those in a realistic fashion.

I’m also generally in favor of a sabbatical. Don’t quit your job, asked for extended unpaid leave. I think they’d hold your position for you as long as your leave isn’t a huge amount of time, hiring a new employee takes a lot of money and time.

Another idea is to apply for companies that have 4 day 32-hour work weeks.
You sound pretty sure that women would never be among the attackers, but that seems like a risky bet to me. There are historical accounts of Viking attackers who were women, for example.
I think Wikipedia deletionists would love to open up a circle of hell just for video games and related topics because it seems quite hard for a book to be considered notable on Wikipedia but hard for a game not to be. For instance only half of this author's books

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jill_Lepore

are considered notable enough to have Wikipedia pages (and notably not the excellent https://www.amazon.com/If-Then-Simulmatics-Corporation-Inven... but maybe that is just my opinion as a computer nerd who works in the public opinion field... If you notice I try not to say things like "most people think that" because I don't want to be caught with my facts wrong.) but truly obscure games like

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_of_Princess

seem to not have to fight for notability at all. (Personally I kinda like that one, but I'm a serious weeb and even I'll admit that it is terribly balanced and too grindy)
ECC RAM on AMD Ryzen 7000 Desktop CPUs
RPi3A is also great too, for sure. More that 3D printers, even during Klipper motion planning, doesn't require much grunt.

I see a lot of people who overspent on RPi4's, even, when they just could've used something with an H616 or whatever on it.
In some rural parts of the US the only numbers you’ll see are little red signs for emergency crews.
> do you commit feature flags

It doesn’t really matter how you manage changes to feature flags, but using version control gives you a couple of nice benefits:

* gives developers the opportunity to describe their change

* let’s you roll back a problematic patch

* blame and bisect problematic patches

Ideally, you should also be able to see your feature flag changes in prod much faster than it takes to cut a release. You need this in order to be able to quickly roll back bad features.

>but the likely reason its easier to pretend to be android is they have to support older versions for a long time, once you've emulated the behaviour its difficult for them to fix that

1. Needing to support older versions is specifically why most of the client logic isn't in the app itself, it's in a javascript bundle that it receives from the server. At this point you can't pretend to be an android app making HTTP api calls. You have to either provide a fully functioning javascript execution environment, or deal with all the API changes that they throw your way through the updated javascript bundles[1].

2. Pretending to be android is harder than you think. There's tens of thousands of system APIs available that you can call, to check for inconsistencies or implementation quirks. You can even try to fingeprint/profile the hardware (eg. GPU or DSP) itself, or the java execution environment. DRMs use the same principles to bind activation tokens to a given machine, so you can't crack a game by taking one valid token and sharing it with everyone else.

> But also gravity doesn't have "charge".

If you treat GR as a gauge theory, and plug local Poincare symmetry into Noether's theorem, the corresponding conserved current and charge you get out are the stress-energy tensor and 4-momentum. It's not exactly the same situation as typical examples of gauge theories, since you need to impose some extra geometric conditions to pick out the Einstein field equations, but I think it's close enough that 4-momentum could reasonably be called gravitational charge.
What did I just read??? "Substantive facts"? That was all opinion. You didn't even directly respond to the poster until your last sentence and there you declared your opinion to be "fact-informed" and assigned both the feelings and actions of the average Unity dev using your, at best, subjective experience.
Next time you stub your toe, reflect that you could have moved your foot differently and not stubbed it. And yet nobody called for you to be delicensed from anything, even though you were just less competent (I mean, seriously, when that day comes you'll have just fucked up walking!) and did more damage to your own body than SC nuclear plant was ever likely to do to anyone.
Well I’m clearly coming at this from a naive perspective and I’m sure many people are learning this along with me.

Oops, I've abandoned. Didn't have much expectation of feedback. So, thanks! I've fixed the typo! Hm, executing would be impossible. But I want to make the plan so micro it'd be so easy to follow. It'd be also cool to suggest other AI software for that specific task.
"—more states coming soon" ;) No state publishes this depth of data machine readable. u/cobertos covered the rest in their reply.
Even if nothing actually changes, this is what happens if you try to turn your customers into the product by unfair gotcha capitalism. The problem is that most customers, especially Americans, rarely push back, so product managers incorrectly assumed their customers wouldn't complain.
Which can lead to dozens of unrelated applications dying on windows when they assume infallible allocators while linux keeps going (sluggishly) until it has to kill just the biggest one.

Very well put, there is no other way to get to some places in the rainforest if not by the river. The river are our ROADS, to get food, supplies, and other issues to the people in the amazon.

With this drought people are lacking of supplies and even dying by not being able to get to the doctor or nearby hospital.
Another quirk: It was pretty common to load your homebrew software from a cartridge in the gameboy port. The cartridges would have some combination of ram and flash based storage or CF Card, and you could tell the cartridge to expose the storage or the ram as they were behind some sort of banking scheme. This meant that the storage system was mapped directly to the bus. So to save on ram, programs were run "in place", executing directly from the storage rather than being copied to ram first.
It's incredibly fast compared to most programming languages.
We have a similar situation in Argentina, with the exchange rate being around $350 pesos but the "black market" rate around $1,000.

The only way to get dollars at the official rate is to import goods from abroad, so you can pay the central back in pesos and they settle the invoice with dollars.

Of course, you can only do this if you have connections, otherwise you will be waiting for a long long time (months probably) until your request is approved.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that you can still use a local debit or credit card to make purchases abroad. You will have to pay around $650 pesos for each dollar. The government taxes the heck out of every purchase abroad to discourage people from spending. Still there's a gap, so people use it while they can.
The Israel-Hamas War Is Drowning X in Disinformation
Just want to second this.

I've been using unity for almost a decade now and enjoying it despite the many caveats and idiosyncrasies I come across.

The bottom line is, I definitely don't want to throw away the decade of experience I have using Unity if I can help it. Ultimately I want them to learn from their mistakes and move forward. While Unity has had a fair share of missteps ultimately it's the devil I know.
The cheapest way would be to go to your WiFi router and look for "Guest WiFi" settings, hope it's not too cheap that this functionality isn't included, activate said network, and put the devices on the guest WiFi.

More complicated settings involve the keyword "VLAN", afaik most home routers don't have this.
> entrenched in Unity's C# ecosystem, build tooling, all-in-one package + asset store

instead of indies, i think this applies much more to mid-level studios. Indies tend to be much more flexible and agile, esp. very small indies. Mid-level studios, with a dozen people that have gotten used to the toolchains and have existing investment in it (any custom plugins for example), would have a harder time switching away.

However, this whole debacle just goes to show that proprietary software may be a trap, unless the T&C explicitly clarifies and makes it _not_ a trap. This is what unreal engine has done (you at least will always remain on the same T&C for the version you signed it for).

Open source is a much safer bet for the long term for an indie, esp. if they're just starting out now and do not have toolchains attached to unity. And the godot ecosystem is just budding right now, which means the opportunities are also great there.

I have. It's a nice experience but boy is it expensive.

How do you imagine increasing private ownership of roads would work? It's near-impossible to ever have true competition in the sector so market forces wouldn't work as they normally do. Where's the incentive to innovate? Where's the incentive to lower prices?

And good luck implementing a "proper" system where there are two tiers of citizens: The rich and the rest. That's just not a good recipe for the cohesiveness of society.
Currently we use LLMs to generate a summary, used as an additional chunk. As you might guess, this can take time, so we postpone the summarization at the end (the current default pipeline is: extract, partition, gen embedding, save embeddings, summarize, gen embeddings (of the summary), save emb)

Initial tests though are showing that summaries are affecting the quality of answers, so we'll probably remove it from the default flow and use it only for specific data types (e.g. chat logs).

There's a bunch of synthetic data scenarios we want to leverage LLMs for. Without going too much into details, sometimes "reading between the lines", and for some memory consolidation patterns (e.g. a "dream phase"), etc.
I would like to know what the costs come out to per minute of video encoded and how many outputs they're getting in order to compare this to something like Media Convert (AWS), Google Transcode or something dedicated like Mux.

For reference Google Transcoder is about $0.13 per minute of encoding (at four resolutions). Mux is at $0.032 / min, AWS Media Convert $0.0188.

I should note I know Mux's pricing well, use them a lot, happily. It gets a bit confusing with Google and Media Convert because I'm not sure how these costs map to the resulting bitrate renditions that get created and I've not got the time for a deeper dive to get a more straight apples to apples comparison (ignore scale discounts)

They put 49c labels over the 99c wherever I bought them in California.

I think the 99c price was originally for convenience stores because there were sales of 5 for $2 at Walgreens in 2018.
> Who are you going to borrow egyptian pounds from to pull this off?

For a specific answer, that’s a question for another HN’r to answer. Broadly though, a brokerage that supports FOREX will let you short currencies and potentially buy call or put options on the given currency pair. If I was planning on doing this, I’d keep it a secret and you wouldn’t hear me post about it so quickly, until I already had built a position.

> Usually you can't pull that off because the central bank won't sell foreign currency to just anyone. You have to have a valid reason, or be well connected.

No, you can look it up for yourself anywhere and see that’s the official exchange rate, not a “special” exchange rate like Venezuela has (which people friendly with the government make money arbitraging). Don’t be so quick to be dismissive. It’s something for curious local Egyptians to evaluate and consider.
"I assert the entire "hallucination" phenomenon is a side effect of these practices. When ChatGPT makes up a fake fact with fake sources to back it up, it's largely because such lies are rated very highly by the underpaid humans who aren't incentivized to follow up on sources."

It seems like with billions of investment, they could figure that out. It's commonly discussed as an extremely difficult problem to solve and the most important problem to solve in the most talked about industry on the planet. I'm having a problem believing that its something that is so easy to solve.

Are you suggesting that even with that much money, they have to do things the way things are "overwhelmingly" done, as opposed to being able to say "hey, we need it done this way instead, because it's important and we can pay for it."

It just seems pretty bizarre to think that the highest of high tech, that is massively funded, doesn't have the clout to just fix that in a heartbeat, if that's really where the problem is.

States are mini countries, state means country, hence United States. We're a country of smaller countries. So run by the state can be government for the SC or France. The original 13 states (of which SC was one) existed separately as their own countries before they decided to join the US and it's been an ongoing debate how independent each is, which is why we use the Constitution as a guideline. The European Union is basically a variation on the same theme since the economic advantages of such a setup has benefited our country.
What makes you so sure that devices aren't listening? Apparently there used to be (maybe still is) a loophole where apps can listen for specific keywords the same way the phone listens for "hey siri" or "ok google" ... apps can stuff a whole bunch of keywords into the list and listen for them that way without explicitly processing all of the audio from your device.

Seems like a nothing burger. There's lots of prior art to Bitcoin - why should we scrutinize this paper in particular (as opposed to say, the work of Finney or Szabo)? The article gestures at a Japanese researcher being involved but that is a huge stretch. It also implies RSA "leaked" from GCHQ but I've never heard it suggested that that was a "leak" rather than an independent discovery (something that happens all the time in science[1], calculus being a popular example).

Whereas the suggestion that say, Robert T. Morris writing one of the first worms at a time when buffer overflows weren't widely understood was related to his father's position as a chief scientist at NSA - that has some legs to it, as far as "leaks" from NSA are concerned. (I neither believe nor disbelieve this, it's just as believable to me that he learned it from hacker lore or even independently discovered it. Afaict he's never given an interview about it [other than to law enforcement and Cornell staff], unfortunately. If you're reading this RTM or someone who knows RTM, please consider giving an interview or oral history on this incredibly historic topic. I think 'rtm is actually RTM but they haven't commented in a decade. And I can't be the first person to ask this of them, they must have their reasons.).

Addendum: I asked my dad and he said what I overlooked is that it takes far less thought and skill to make a mold or other tool today not just because of CNC (to cut paths you can't by manually turning knobs), but because of the algorithms that plan out how to make it.
