Firstly, there's absolutely no evidence whatsoever for that hypothesis. But secondly, this is also poor reasoning. Your argument boils down to implying that if it's good at X, then there might be a bias in its favour with respect to X that makes it a poor judge of whether it's reasoning. By extension, making that argument engages in the logical fallacy of begging the question (assuming the conclusion).

> Why is setting bar high absurd? It is the same way I demand my pocket calculator to be so much better than humans at calculating things.

This is also poor reasoning. We demand the pocket calculator be better because otherwise we would have no use for it. It would be logically invalid to argue that if it was merely as capable as a human, maybe one that is not very good but still able to calculate, that it is unable to calculate at all.
I suspect this is more of a collaborative scientific effort rather than a commercial enterprise. However, they do mention in a tweet that they are supported with funding from the Flatiron Institute (Simons Foundation):

I did not dismiss it. I think he made a good argument when he made it, about computing at the time.

What I disagreed with was not Dijkstra, but applying it to AI today given that whether or not you think that there shouldn't be anything interesting about it even with AI, the social context means that there very clearly is whether or not you think peoples beliefs around it are reasonable.

To rephrase: At the time, computers unambiguously did not in any way get even close to the line, just like a sub gets nowhere close to replicating swimming. That made the question ludicrous and the comparison a good illustration.

Today there is ambiguity with computers, but no more ambiguity with respect to subs, and that ambiguity is such that it matters deeply to a lot of people in a way the question of subs swimming never will even if you close that gap. As such the comparison has lost its utility.

Hard agree and I too am curious as to why it is not like this.
That's because you're building on an existing consciouness. Even if you wipe their short term memory, you still have their long term memory from before the whole sensory deprivation tank that have formed concepts such as the self, the world etc.

I see that you're seeing the training phase of GPT as the equivalent time the adult had before, but I don't think that works. Part of what makes a consciousness emerges for me is understanding your place in the world, how your actions are having consequences etc. Being nice can have people be nice to you in return, or depending on the environment, you can learn that by being insuffurable people will just give you whatever you want (cf some toddlers). GPT's training comes short of that. If you had an actual session of GPT connected to some sort of long term vector database where it can store what it learns based on conversations, to differenciate individuals and itself etc. that might give it a fighting chance to develop an equivalent of a conscience.
Committing to an hour or so per week - using running since you used that as an example: with a pace of 7mph (which no obese/most overweight people can do) you would wind up at 49 miles/week. But that's unreasonable and untenable for most attempting to lose weight - you have to fix your diet in order to lose weight. You cannot outrun a shitty diet.

4 times (48mp vs 200mp), and zooming into the highest quality images produced by both cameras yields little difference.

This comment feels like grasping at straws. The iPhone and Samsung both have excellent cameras, and excel in different places. Camera comparisons by professional photographers show that much. In my non-professional opinion, samsung wins in some edge cases, but the iphone generally has a better colour profile and undeniably better video capabilities, but debating about minute differences in camera processing in a text only forum feels counter productive, especially when plenty of professional comparisons exist.
That makes sense. It was not clear in the context of the post I replied to.

Well I could reasonably bike up one specific very steep hill near my place without downshifting much until I got covid.

Then it took me more then half a year to get back to that point. It was a very slow recovery but most importantly, it could be quantitatively measured first from how far until I had to disembark my bike to walk up the rest of the hill to eventually the lowest gear I had to to shift into to get to the top without ever disembarking.

Extremely minor nitpick: In this case the Fraunhofer Society is a non-profit, although it earns 70% of its income through contracts. That's why I can’t be that angry about the MP3 patent monopoly: The income financed other applied science research of the Fraunhofer Society, and financed research seems better to me than non-financed (and thus non-existant) research.

I'm with you with the closed specifications: Those should be definitely open now.
I’m all for changing one’s mind on something, but I get skeptical when they all follow the same position around the same cycle/time of “social media hype”.

Attia for example changed his mind on fasting too recently. When that’s what arguably made him famous (see Limitless with Chris Hemsworth for example).

The argument of doubling down on exercise in place of metformin seems a bit extreme for example. Most of us do not have the privilege to do so even if we’re quite active.

I'm not sure what you think nepotism is. Per wikipedia, "Nepotism is the act of granting an advantage, privilege, or position to relatives or close friends in an occupation or field".

The opposite of nepotism is where no one grants an advantage, privilege, or position to relatives or close friends in an occupation or field. That's not "equality of outcomes" by any stretch. A hypothetical system that grants privileges purely on merit would be its true opposite.

I know data visualisations are good at imparting information. They can do so very quickly. The human visual system is the largest single system in the brain. That makes sense.

Several clients I've worked for require visualisations not just for this reason, but as a way to increase confidence in the software. Sometimes that's the only reason for a few of them to exist at all. What do you think is going on here?

The blog post offers some clues: e.g. they're using Wayland on the Pi 4 and 5 but still X11 on lower devices. It's a tight coupling of hardware and software that means they can best tailor the experience to specific devices. Not everyone needs it but it's nice for newbies (and the Pi is intended to be very approachable) to get sensible defaults out of the box.
I've interviewed with / been to the facility of this place: https://science.xyz/products/vision/

They're exploring the "digital eye" concept you mentioned. Really cool stuff. Probably less than 50 years for the fixing some types of blindness.
void FooFunction(int x, int y, optional<int> optarg1 = {}, optional<int> optarg2 = {}) {
int arg1 = optarg1.value_or(3);
int arg2 = optarg1.value_or(7);
}

void usage_code() {
FooFunction(x, y, {}, 9);
}

I.e. for complex interfaces defaulted arguments should default to an out-of-band placeholder, not to the actual value.

I do like the struct as well, but it is still not ideal if you want to use initializers. I.e this doesn't work in C++:

FooFunction(x, y, {.arg2 = 9});

You have to specify all preceding values
FooFunction(x, y, {.arg1 = 2, .arg2 = 9});

Works better with optional (and converting everything to a struct):

FooFunction({.x = x, .y=x, .arg1 = nullopt, .arg2 = 9});
When I was still shooting Canon, I used a 70-200mm f/4L which I picked up for a song (C$~600 sixteen years ago?). Not the beauty of a 2.8, but having a consistent 4 made for some beautiful shots on Cape Breton.
Clearly the old unit price was already profitable, or there would have been no supply rather than insufficient supply.

these days, .net/asp.net core mostly, but I've been using the IDE's since before they were combined (Visual C++, etc).

I definitely think it's better.

Often rider lags behind understanding newer C# languages and .net features and the debugger is slower to launch in rider (rider in general is slower than VS in my experience). I also find rider slower in general and I think features rider has are mis-features.

If you're coming from a java background with IntelliJ experience then rider will probably feel more comfortable in terms of UI philosophies, keybindings, etc, and I'm not trying to discount comfort, but even technically I don't think rider can touch VS.

And I'm not discounting rider, I'm saying VS really is that good. It's not perfect by any means, but even on technical merit alone I think rider loses.

And I have a jetbrains "all inclusive" license, I'm a huge fan of their tools. I just don't think rider is as good as VS. If VS were ever ported to linux I'd stop using Rider alltogether.

Although I will admit, I can't like DataGrip and I've really tried. Just something about it doesn't sit well with my sensibilities, I think because it tries to be jack of all things data wise and it loses something as a result.

Earth's ability to support lifeforms such as human beings is expected to end in the next 500 million to 2 billion years. Granted, that's several orders of magnitude longer than we've been around, but still - the sun will still be shining when humans go extinct, assuming we don't find another home planet and manage to get ourselves to it. It will be billions of years afterward that the sun will actually die.

Putting aside those who post to X/Twitter and Elon Musk, I like the community notes feature and have built a little trust in it.
I believe one of the biggest reasons is that because the boot process is very different from the way debian does things, it ends up needing significant changes from the starting tasks to do things. Along with that I think the original 32bit RPIs didn't support some version of the compiled binaries in the debian arm repos which meant that they weren't necessarily compatible.

These days on the 64bit version, I'm not sure why it needs that much either. I'd think that having a few new task-* metapackages that setup the boot and raspberry pi specific boot management stuff should be doable and then they could use the main debian packages I would think. There's probably something that's not obvious that makes things just incompatible enough that it isn't simpler to manage that way.
I'm on a $15 per month legacy plan, this means I have unlimited build minutes (I think?), but for what it is worth, I can still switch to the $9 "Team" plan in their interface.

The interface tells me that a Team plan has:

> 20,000 Job minutes included per month

> + 5,000 Job minutes per user

> 250,000 Test executions included per month

> + 50,000 Test executions per user

Compared to a "Business plan" which has:

> 40,000 Job minutes included per month

> + 12,500 Job minutes per user

> 500,000 Test executions included per month

> + 50,000 Test executions per user

Interesting, I’m curious how the OS is assembled together, since they discourage users from in-place upgrade.

Debian 11 was just a regular Debian with their repos added on top. It feels like since the times of Raspbian they are trying to thin out their changes to Debian (which is a good thing). So to see the recommendation to re-image is quite unexpected.

> Have you built your own minigpt?

No, but did follow along to an Andrej Karpathy video along those lines at the beginning of the year.

I didn't want to make a judgement on any kind of superiority, or that LLMs simulate brains, or anything of that nature. Just wanted to question why these elements (namely intelligence and reasoning) strike the nerve that they do.

The anthropomorphism argument is case in point, really. It poses the accusation that the other side is imparting human qualities to a machine, without needing to touch on what makes those qualities human or why that matters in the first place. It is, ironically enough, flawed reasoning.

Haha, yep. This is partly why there were so many recordings that sounded like ass back in the infancy of music sharing and partly why we cared about bitrate.

We have many more options today. Today's music sounds great at 96Kbps with AAC or Ogg Vorbis encoding, which is a big reason why streaming became, and continues to be, viable.

This seems a theoretical possibility _at best_, and a fairly strawman-y one at that. I doubt any competent C programmer would get "confused". Irritated at a different style, maybe.

Show HN: OpenLLMetry – OpenTelemetry-based observability for LLMs
Hey HN, Nir, Gal and Tomer here. We’re open-sourcing a set of extensions we’ve built on top of OpenTelemetry that provide visibility into LLM applications - whether it be prompts, vector DBs and more. Here’s the repo: https://github.com/traceloop/openllmetry.

There’s already a decent number of tools for LLM observability, some open-source and some not. But what we found was missing for all of them is that they were closed-protocol by design, vendor-locking you to use their observability platform or their proprietary framework for running your LLMs.

It’s still early in the gen-AI space so we think it’s the right time to define an open protocol for observability. So we built OpenLLMetry. It extends OpenTelemetry and provides instrumentations for LLM-specific libraries which automatically monitor and trace prompts, token usage, embeddings, etc.

Two key benefits with OpenTelemetry are (1) you can trace your entire system execution, not just the LLM (so you can see how requests to DBs, or other calls affect the overall result); and (2) you can connect to any monitoring platform—no need to adopt new tools. Install the SDK and plug it into Datadog, Sentry, or both. Or switch between them easily.

We’ve already built instrumentations for LLMs like OpenAI, Anthropic and Cohere, vector DBs like Pinecone and LLM Frameworks like LangChain and Haystack. And we’ve built an SDK that makes it easy to use all of these instrumentations in case you’re not too familiar with OpenTelemetry.

Everything is written in Python (with Typescript around the corner) and licensed with Apache-2.0.

We’re using this SDK for our own platform (Traceloop), but our hope is that OpenLLMetry can evolve and thrive independently, giving everyone (including our users) the power of choice. We’ll be working with the OpenTelemetry community to get this to become a first-class citizen of OpenTelemetry.

Would love to hear your thoughts and opinions!

I too was not thrilled to see the “_1” style in Ruby. I avoid it.
Thank you for your explanation.

Do I understand correctly, that this idea wouldnt work because you either end up with the same quality, but bigger files or with the same file size, but worse quality?

I had this idea that you could increase the amount of black colors a monitor could display if you combine 4 pixels. Having 3 black, and one of them "one bit" less black. This way you could have a more fine grained black-white transition.

I thought a "log" video might be able to contain the information to allow this without to much overhead.
Yeah this frustrates me too. I also see this when say HN or Reddit is talking about a topic I know very deeply. People say incorrect stuff often in those situations, and it makes me think most situations we are spreading incorrect information.
This and the parent comment really should be at the top of this page. They are the best descriptions of how this sort of thing works in practice I have encountered. And while they tell how difficult and slow it all is I feel that they could give hope to others that some sort of recovery can be possible even without new advances in treatment.
If all you do is "find records within x miles from lat,lon", solr/ES is the best solution. I think it can match a shape too.
AI has always been a "consumer" term... Games have always had various things called "AI", for example.
I don’t know who said it, but an amazing quote I love is: “they call it AI until it starts working, see autocomplete”

I love this because when a company tells me they do AI (as a software engineer) they tacitly say that they have little to no knowledge of where they want to go or what services they will be offering with that AI.
Which would be a good test - and by that test ChatGPT is not reasoning, since it cant get out of sticky situations.

Yeah, I think you've got a good example that improves the analogy.
