Yeah I dunno, the Caddo and Wichita were pretty serious about folk science. They had real villages and farms and stuff. They weren’t just kinda camping out and going with the flow wherever ancestral memory took them.
It's not an "any of us problem" for a bad system to be overwhelmed. Let it be overwhelmed.

Youtube recently emailed me to say that they are cancelling the Youtube Premium Lite plan (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37649777) that I've been on for 3 years.

This looks interesting.
Most quants work on the sell-side where direct forecasting is almost irrelevant (to an academic, a trader perhaps not...), in that they are usually attempting to "interpolate" market prices to be able to price derivatives.
Sounds like no remote working option is the problem? There is a huge demand right now for remote tech work. Seems like they are creating their own problem.
To tack on, I would love to read more research on this topic if there is relevant research to read.

I have not read much compelling evidence though I have seen a lot of researchers conjecturing and some inappropriately reaching (and anthropomorphising the living hell out of ai in the process sometimes).

There’s a lot to learn and I don’t think anyone can keep up with all the papers coming out so let’s keep things positive and work together to learn as much as we can og_kalu. Thanks for letting me tag this comment on the end of thread.

This is HN. We’re all nerds here anyways and nobody can keep up with everything in a field moving as fast at AI is these days. :)
"Hallucinate" is the wrong word when applied to LLMs. Why? Because in common usage that means you are under the influence of some kind of external substance that has entered your blood-stream, or maybe you are under hypnosis, or shamanistic chanting. That is not the case when somebody says "LLM is hallucinating, again!",

It is also sensationalist, implying we don't really know what's going on, why is this LLM hallucinating?

It even sounds like an excuse: Hey my LLM did not come out with reasonable answer, but that is only because it was hallucinating, just like humans sometimes do, so it is even more human-like than we thought. See. Or may it was drunk! That explains it.

No, it's just that LLMs are sometimes on the topic, sometimes not. When somebody says they are "hallucinating" it does not mean they are working in some kind of extra-ordinary mode of operation. They are working just as usual.

What explains what some people (want to) call LLM "hallucinating" is that LLMs sometimes make sense, sometimes they don't.
They even have a whole suite of useless AI add-ons for Google Workspace

(Well, the email add on is somewhat useful, while the generative AI for illustrations in Slides is outright laughable.)
I've seen suggestions that it's an implementation problem, in the pipeline, that the same computation, with the same values, and same FP errors (they're deterministic) doesn't result in the same output with a temperature of 0, along with theories that the problem is not chased because it's probably related to optimization/cost reduction.

(trouble finding sources, but it being a bug was from someone involved with OpenAI)
> Like everything, this is a parenting issue.

True, but the "solution" is that kids shouldn't have unfettered smartphone or computer access at 9 years old.

The problem is that a lot of irresponsible parents are giving their kids phones at those ages and making things really difficult for parents who are trying to be responsible.

We really need old-school "You can talk and you can text and that's it" dumbphones back again.

I'd go up to Windows 7.

From Windows 95 to Windows 7, the UI fundamentally stayed the same, with a few details here and there, including, scroll bars, window title bars and borders.

Essentially, what changed is just cosmetic and mostly as a result of better hardware. Earlier versions of Windows were designed for 256 color displays, Windows XP fully embraced 24-bit color, and Windows 7 was designed with GPUs in mind. That's how we got from pixel art to shading to semi-transparency.

And I must admit I liked Windows 7 because it was both functional and pretty. A nice, modern for the time skin on top of tried and tested UI core concepts.

Windows 8 broke everything as an attempt to unify the desktop and mobile experience, and we haven't recovered since then. In fact, I think mobile killed desktop usability. We are in a conundrum that we didn't find a way to resolve: desktop and mobile are fundamentally different platforms, so they would need different UI paradigms, but there is an overlap functionality as many apps are present on both platforms, so it would be nice to provide the same experience on both.

To that, add the fact that the web is often third or a fourth option (mobile and desktop web), and the ability to use native controls in web browsers is rather poor, so people make their own, but then, you want the website to look like the desktop app. Same kind of problem.
Could you define "creativity" for us?
An AI would probably flag that idea as unlikely and not worth pursuing.

I don’t think we are that far off from having AIs that can read and incorporate the concepts from every paper ever published and start generating random ideas that fit into an internal framework it develops.

I think that within the lifetime of some readers here, an AI will spit out a hypothesis (like a method for producing a room temperature super conductor) that turns out to be true and we will have no idea where it came from. The AI’s knowledge of physics, chemistry, etc… will exceed ours and it trying to explain to us how it works would be like you explaining a singular value decomposition to your dog.
Spock Stack Svelte PostgreSQL OAuth Caddy SvelteKit
Svelte is elegantly simple to use and can build a full stack social media demo quickly. Are more developers using it for personal projects and when will it become more in demand in tech jobs?
My wife and I are going to end up doing this almost in reverse: We live in Finland and converse almost entirely in English with one another, and we plan to speak in English to our kids, but our kids are obviously going to speak Finnish with almost everyone else in the family and at school.

Luckily I think it'll be a lot easier to keep a kid engaged at home with American English thanks to all the media we have. And it really is true that Finns have exceptional English skills, way beyond what I've encountered in e.g. France or Switzerland. This has to my knowledge only become more exceptional in the youth of today.

It's going to be really interesting to see whether they choose to head back to the USA in a few decades to chase greater wealth and capitalize on this advantage. I love the fact that we're in a situation to offer them such unparalleled mobility between two beautiful, very different lifestyles like this.

No need for a train. I could find conversational French/Spanish/German really easily where I live now in London. I have at least 5 native speakers of each of those languages who are friends and live within a mile of me. Right now it is just laziness.

Finding local language communities locally might be harder in less cosmopolitan areas but it just takes a bit of effort.

As an 11-16 year old learning those languages at school it was a lot harder to do so.
> Did they even try to develop software?

What for? When using a high-end camera, there is zero need to try to process the image on the camera. The camera hardware is about capturing the best possible RAW image which you then process on a desktop computer which has way more CPU and RAM than any camera could possibly have along with unlimited electricity (not running off a tiny battery).
Sure, but the school system has no control over any of that. As far as what it can control, peers are absolutely the most important.
Oh yeah. And what to do while pretending that this doesn’t suck? Listen to white noise on earbuds. It used to feel like an inner ear massage for me.
It's not that kind of sound healing.
I’d recommend this post by Manokhin. Quite insightful and helps get some perspective. https://archive.ph/YqPSC
Yeah, I'm not saying nobody outside of modernity thinks about "what" but that many cultures didn't/don't. And it's not even a matter of primitivism and in no way suggests some kind of meager culture. It just turns out that sophisticated cultures have gotten by without an exhaustive theory of "what", and that modernity's particular obsession is an idiosyncrasy rather than either an accomplishment or a universal.

If you have a settlement of 100's, some of them will move in almost every direction.
And even if the crate with ffi isn't compromised, they are the most likely spots for a cve anyway. Openssl and libcurl bindings for instance. So we should be paying attention to them anyway. I always prefer a pure safe rust crate for that reason, and because it is easier to deploy as a from scratch container or stand alone binary built against musl. Openssl and libcurl have permissive licenses so they are statically linked anyway, and there are no other options of course.
> assuming you get to that point before burnout

My point was that the burnout lies in mismatched expectations, as well as working excessively, and yes I'd agree that's probably why game devs do that. There are better avenues for "passion" than your career unless you can trade the skills you've built up in your career for whatever you want to do for work.

Edit: Additionally, if in retrospect I just said yes to the most viable incarnation of whatever the corporate overlords wanted, and stopped caring earlier about the hypothetical implications of poor technical decisions (which I should have accepted sooner weren't a significant part of my job), then the work would have just maybe got done and whether it worked or not wouldn't necessarily be my concern, and I'd have more fuel in the tank to just keep getting better and moving somewhere else.
I couldn't agree more. Words matter and this is a complete mismatch between concepts.

> HALLUCINATION: a sensory perception (such as a visual image or a sound) that occurs in the absence of an actual external stimulus and usually arises from neurological disturbance [...] [0]

When we let a model run free, without input, or with random input, whatever the model imagined it was experiencing (i.e. its internal representation) would be an hallucination.

> CONFABULATION: to fill in gaps in memory by fabrication

This is exactly the right concept (and therefore word) for what is happening.

Sounds to me like it's working perfectly.

The point of surge pricing is to rebalance supply and demand when demand for rides outstrips supply of drivers, whether by attracting more drivers or by discouraging price sensitive riders.

Some riders at the airport will strongly prefer Uber, for whatever reason, so they're less price sensitive than you. Because you're happy to substitute an Uber for a taxi, you decrease the demand as a response to the surge pricing, preserving the limited supply of drivers for the riders who really want them (or are at least are price insensitive enough to pay for that privilege).
It gets very interesting when we start providing digital input of analog source data in film, photograph, sound and speech.

We recently started providing perception inputs, just like you’re talking about.

Obviously it’s nascent and not exactly a revolutionary statement, but it’s interesting to see the progression towards our experience.

I’m also interested in how the analog computing revolution is going to converge with AI in coming years, as we are making huge inroads into analog computing and that means cheap ubiquitous sensor inputs right in time for AI to start maturing.
Right, this is why I called it out as an odd one. It being used as a valid "control" on your phone to somehow be a privacy win is awkward, as most people don't know what it actually turns off, anymore. Not to mention, with it turned on, your phone is not exactly a phone anymore. :D

Awesome. As someone who is bilingual, it made traveling through South America so much easier. Stay away from that Chilean Spanish though, lol. Those that have tried ordering food there will know what I mean. Too many of their nouns are completely different words from the rest of the Spanish. Never before did I feel like I wasn't understood even though technically I spoke the same language.
> The lifespan of a laptop is not tied to a replaceable battery

This applies to me. My laptop is 10 years old, has 16G memory and is running Linux. I have replaced battery once before (and definitely need a new battery again now).

Edit: replace 9 years old with 10 years old
The wave would be focused by the transducer (analog of a lens) so that the energy flux is highest at the focal point and presumably low enough not to cavitate outside the focal area. I.e. magnifying glass and the sun kinda thing.
Same, and I was hoping to be highly amused by someone's Arduino somehow unlocking heavily computational LLM secrets via tiny tiny dribbles of radio traffic.
In the extreme case, I guess so. The other extreme is the person that will never complete a task as there's always some detail to refine.

But it's a spectrum where most people are somewhere between the extremes.
That's how I see it, also. There is a very clear pattern that prevalence of pornography reduces rape. Why in the world should we expect a different result when we narrow the context?

Yucky as it is I believe the answer here is to have image-generating AIs sign their work. Something properly signed is known not to involve any actual children and would thus be legal.

(My philosophy in general is that for something to be illegal the state should be able to show a non-consenting victim or the undue risk of a victim (ie, DUI). I do not believe disgusting things in private warrant a law.)
They will also spend longer on their phones than interacting in person.

I did something like this in around 1999 too. It was just a headless motherboard in a plastic box running some DOS MP3 player. I had a numeric keypad with a little integrated LCD that I used to control it. I eventually replaced the whole thing with an iPod.

Good times.
> you will invent the integers

You will discover them, not invent. Albeit subtle, there is a difference between these notions, and you will indeed discover the integers in (almost) exactly the same sense as electron was discovered - what you do is, you put forward an idea, play with it, test it, correct mistakes, and in the end you find what you have been looking for. What you can invent in mathematics, is a proof; but even in this case the path may lead to a series of discoveries. Whether it does, depends on the attitude towards it (Grothendieck's analogy between building a proof and opening a nut).
I'm trying to understand this type of perspective, which is somewhat at odds with mine, so the following questions are completely genuine: Which models have you used? What did you try with them? Have you used GPT-4? How frequently?
That’s called a bait-and-switch. Once physical games are no longer a thing, I would expect to see the GamePass library shrink, the subscription get more expensive, or some other unanticipated switch that drives up the cost. Companies don’t operate at a loss[0] for the benefit of their customers. They’re conditioning players to later extract more value later.

I thought that the content of my comment would be enough to imply a jocular tone, but perhaps not.

To answer your question: I have no reason to suspect a post-singularity AI would spend its time torturing humans. I should point out, however, that a powerful AI controlled by evil humans is less of a paradigm shift than a powerful AI not in the control of any humans. NBC weapons are already things that can do a lot of damage in the hands of evil humans.

The paperclipper thought-experiment is far more worrying to me than any of the other AI doomsday because incompetence is much more widespread than malice. I strongly suspect that I will die before any extinction level event, so it's a bit academic to me.
I've noticed that a lot of people hardly know what a desktop PC is anymore. Every PC they use at work is a laptop, and if they buy a PC for themselves it's a laptop. Most people, when they imagine "Computer" -- a laptop flashes in their mind.

The only people who are familiar at all with desktop PCs are gamers. That's why every consumer desktop PC component is called "Stryker Ice Wraith Elite"

Anyone at work who still uses the desktop form factor is a creative person (they use a Mac Studio) or a workstation tower from Dell/Lenovo or similar.

My blog (eg https://daniel.lawrence.lu/blog/y2021m09d08/ ) uses MathJax on the serverside (via mathjax-node-cli) which gets rendered into SVG images.

Common mistakes that other people make when using an image-based approach include:

* failing to apply the proper sizing and offset for the baseline
* using a raster PNG format which is bigger and looks fuzzy

I don't think that's how it works. It's not that CSAM drives them to actual abuse, but that for some CSAM isn't enough to sufficiently satisfy their desires that they go on to real abuse.

Very neatly explained. I can confirm it does exactly that
I will give an abridged version since I'm about to head out:

For MFA: I have an OTP client on my PC, as well as the ability to receive SMS using JMP Chat. MFA does not add much security for me since I already use long, randomly generated passwords from my local password manager, so I only turn it on if a service requires it for some reason.

For restaurants: I will tell the waiter that I cannot scan a QR code. If they don't have paper menus because they seriously expect me to have a phone, then I seriously expect that they have a phome that can scan it for me.

Navigation: this is a hard one for me. I have never driven in an unfamiliar location without a GPS. I am trying to minimize driving in favor of public transit anyways, but my roommate has a GPS unit that they said I can have. Will have to experiment with it.

Parking: this just seems so unfathomably dumb, even with a phone I don't think I'd park there.

Insurance: I'd change companies if mine required something like that.
