"Automatic computational photography"? the camera manufacturers have nothing. But I'd argue it doesn't really matter. If you're going out of your way to carry a big-ass camera (and even the micro 4/3 models are huge compared to an iphone - they don't fit in any jeans' pockets), you probably don't care for "software enhancements on the go", and you'll put your pictures through some kind of non-automatic processing on a computer at home anyway.

Now, I haven't tested the iphone 15 pro, but the 14 pro can't hold a candle to a 2016 Olympus Pen-F (micro 4/3 format) when it comes to gradients, details, etc. And when that camera came out, it wasn't even state of the art, it's just what I have lying around to compare.

The iPhones look great at night when you compare them to other phones, but they're absolute garbage when compared to an actual camera, even many years old. Even the "software revolution" can't help them.

But, they absolutely wipe the floor with actual cameras when you need something that fits in your pocket. A camera in your hand is infinitely better than a camera at home you didn't bother to drag around town with you. And it's the reason why, as a tripod carrying-dude, I love my iphone: I have it with me all the time, and it allows me to take pictures the pen-f sitting in a drawer at home can only dream about.

But when I like what I've shot with the phone, I'll haul the pen-f the next day if possible and take a picture of the same spot that will actually get printed.
Actually, intelligence is a hindrance, not help when fighting a lion. I mean, it's useful to have one smart person in the tribe, to invent all those weapons, but smart people tend to overthink everything, making them worse fighters/hunters.

No, it isn't.

The most advanced system is the raw GPT-4 foundational model, which is not public.

What is public is the RLHF instruct/chat/safety fine tuned version of the foundational model.

As could be seen with DaVinci vs 3.5-chat, foundational models - while more difficult to work with - give much more variety and quality to responses than the chat tuned versions.

The average person with access to the public GPT-4 models actually has no idea of what the current SotA can actually do or can't do. They only know the capabilities of the version OpenAI deemed acceptable to give them access to.

I mean, you can for sure still buy a cheap MP3 player like you could back in the day. Sure, they're less popular but they definitely still exist.
“As possible” are two words doing some serious heavy lifting.
"I think, therefore I am" means that one of the only things you can be sure of is that, as a thinking entity, you must exist. Thinking the thought "I am thinking", requires that you exist to do that thinking.

So unless someone was arguing that LLMs didn't exist, that principle is pretty orthogonal to the discussion.
I’m curious, did you try Swift? It’s has most (but not all) of your goals AFAICT.

There's a bald assertion here that lots of those professors would stop you at; that good grades and capacity for research work are the same (or even necessarily closely correlated).
When a human reads a bunch of stuff on the internet and regurgitates it as fact, we don't say they hallucinate, we say that they're wrong.

I guess, it's a question of perspective. For me, maybe due to habit, these are two distinct actions: moving the origin and resizing the viewport. And I'm actually not comfortable with having to combine them in a single interaction. More often, I do not want to combine both, especially on a larger screen. Moving the viewport or its origin is a matter of the desktop metaphor, as well as altering stacking in the Z-order. Resizing it is on an entirely different level and relates to another kind of mental model or mapping, relating to aspect ratio and field of view, which, if changed, requires a remapping of the situational awareness regarding everything that makes the desktop metaphor. (BTW, I also hate snapping windows.)

Personally, I think, it's this kind of constant overloading, which makes modern interfaces harder to use, or at least, causing them to put more strain on the user. (I guess, as interaction is becoming more and more the message and thus the media, like in constantly pulling the content area for more to load or swiping one thing away to see another thing, this is probably just as it ought to be. But this is essentially slot machine territory and not a working environment.)

What seems plausible depends on your level of suspect matter expertise.

Hallucinations are in general ridiculously incorrect and nowhere close to anything worth testing. Put another way what percentage of molecules are worth testing as a viable treatment for epilepsy? 1 in 100 trillion, less?

The M3 will likely be based on the A17, while the M2 was based on the A15. That will be a more significant jump compared to M1 to M2.
I think just saying the "CIA did it" is also not entirely fair. They carried out the activities, but Eisenhower gave the greenlight after being cajoled by Britain. It wasn't a rogue operation, it was explicit policy of two governments.

Aren't most people buying anything really buying things when there is an immediate need and they have money for it? Computer breaks, buy a new one. Computer is too slow, buy a new one. Most consumers do not track industry news. They have a need and cash so they go to a store and buy what's in it.
To be frank, Sony seem to have bought Bungie more for its live service expertise than its IP. Not fond of this direction but it's hard to argue that Sony bought them to starve Microsoft of game releases - Bungie has like one franchise that's so-so in popularity.

That’s not really a common point of view.
There is a difference between general AI and generative AI. Humans can be creative and create vast fictional worlds with made up technology and magic. They can also optimize for facts and pass a BAR exam.

LLM like have some form of understanding of the world, not sure if its anywhere near comparable to our understanding though. But they are still not general enough to really focus on facts. They can get close but the nature of statistics means there isn't hard checks to truth.
Backwards compatibility was a luxury, and not the standard, until recently. The first Nintendo backwards compatible home console was the Wii in 2005. Rapidly changing architecture differences made playing older games difficult. The GBA, DS, PS2, and PS3 all had custom hardware needed to play older games. The fact that the PS3 could play PS1 games in any way should be lauded, not labeled as anti-consumer.

Nope, it doesn't really. I did some research[0] to get to the bottom of it, and it goes back to the Zionism of the late 19th century. Before that, the Jewish population in the Palestine region was a 5% minority (and Christians a 10% minority) and the rest were Arab Muslims, and they mostly got along. Anti-semitism has been awful throughout history, of course, particularly in Eastern Europe, which is a big part of what fueled the Zionists to resettle in Palestine, but locally the tensions started then, and increased significantly when Britain stepped in after WWI, and then when the UN created Israel in 1948, and so on.

Edit: why the downvotes with no explanation? I thought the same thing as the parent, and did some research, to discover the real history, that the Israel-Palestine tensions actually only go back to the late 1800s. I did some independent verification, but would appreciate being corrected if this is wrong.

ALSO: It's ok to criticize US for the past war, for faking evidence in UN and making up excuses to invade a country.

But to critique US involvement in Ukraine which is extinguishing a whole country with their forced mobilization just for the sake of drip buying US arms? That's heresy and punishable with de-platforming.
No, science is indeed testing random ideas. Limiting what is tested to an arbitrary plausibility score is something funders and sponsors do, not scientists.

I both loved and hated J2ME. It kinda had what you needed though, apart from the often "openly" idiotic device implementations that were kind of the norm. Only Sony Ericsson had a great one (fast, high code quality, sane security policies/prompts). Nokia came at second place with medium performance, high code quality and outright user-hostile security policies/prompts.

With regard to privacy-preservation, there's also potential from the oblivious-retrieval/homomorphic-encryption/zk-proof/etc worlds that one might be able to offer a frozen model/embedding-set, and prove to clients that…

(1) their text was faithfully converted to an embedding according a disclosed technique & stable (but private) set of model-weights; and

(2) here are the top-N neighbors doc-IDs/docs by similarity

…without either the client receiving the full model weights or even their text's precise embedding, nor the server seeing a cleartext version of the client's text or any usable info about what it contains.

Since every game's shaders are transpiled to Vulkan, the Steam Vulkan shader cache works for games with this kind of BS problem even if they were written for DirectX
> They surely read the copyrighted decompiled code

Do they? When it comes to reverse-engineering mobile app APIs, the usual strategy is to observe the network because it's so much easier than making sense of the disassembled binary.

Even if you can decompile, you'd generally use it as an aid to understand the network captures rather than using it as your primary source.
But what they will do (and have done) is pull over a vehicle that is registered to a person known to have e.g. an expired/suspended license and use whatever excuse they can find to arrest the driver, even if the driver's license is not expired.

The near-real-time cross-referencing is basically a probable-cause factory, and then its on the person getting pulled over to stand up to all the implied threats of violence that the police can bring to bear.

Prior to tools like this, running a dragnet on e.g. invalid licenses was quite a bit more labor intensive, and so there was a built-in grace allowed to people whose only crime was omission of paperwork.
You can check Banana-Pi R3, which has great support from Mediatek in OpenWRT. You can add another card over PCIE bus if you really need WiFi 6E eg. some mediatek cards with mt7921 chipset will work (built-in wifi 6 with ax mode gives real 1.4Gbps speed, it is working out of the box). This router supports HW flow offloading for NAT + Wireless Ethernet Dispatch for WiFi, this means that at this speed CPU stays at 1% usage. You can also wait for BPi-R4 which will have WiFi 7 support (some patches landed already in Linux).
And this upswell can easily be squashed in just over a year's time. We are fortunate that any sort of effort is being made.

The term "hallucinating" in this context is just another way we anthropomorphize machines. It is mostly harmless but I see the author's point that it can be misleading when trying to address specific issues.

On the (rare) occasion I find it useful to avoid this very normal tendency I ask myself if it would make sense to apply the same framing to the output of an AI image generator.

My objection would be that one (or more) path component(s) could come under the control of an adversary in between the check and the use. Granted it might take a weird set of circumstances -- e.g. a deployment process running in parallel doing odd things with permissions[0] -- but the fundamental problem seems to be essentially unsolvable without kernel support.

It's definitely a great improvement, though.

To wit, the Luzia woman was found to be ~12 thousand years-old in South America, so it puts the 13 thousand date in question

Disclaimer: I know absolute nothing about this topic and this is from my recollection of reading wikipedia and soft-science articles

As I understand it, it should have taken a lot of time for full migration from North to South America; and while a thousand years seems more than enough for travel, apparently migration takes a long, long time - and the odds are that a fossil comes from a migrated population, virtually impossible to be from an odd outlier that traveled ahead (for whatever reason)

>I always find this point a bit odd because humans aren't "optimized" to be correct either.

It depends which subsystem.

The older the system in the body the less likely it is to have a high error rate, otherwise we'd die from cancer at a much higher rate or injure ourselves far more often. Of course this also depends on the definition of 'correct', if the system never changed we'd never evolve.

>> "LLMs have no understanding of the underlying reality"

This statement has always bothered me because it really depends on what you mean by 'underlying reality'. How many layers are we talking about? What does understanding mean? Because at the end of the day, humans don't really understand 'underlying reality, we just have a particular set of input devices we take in information and do some transformations on it... Where is the understanding happening?

Why Hobbes would have thought LLMs were a big deal
> All these criticisms of hallucinations are missing the point.

Not if people need to be reminded that, as you say, LLMs are not designed to give reliable answers. Many, many people appear to believe that they are, since they rely on the answers in all kinds of contexts. For example, in past HN threads on LLMs, I have seen people say that they rely on LLM-generated code.
I think people like the hallucinations because they seem like the right answer. Imagine I make an AI assistant. You ask it, "how do I catch the bus into town?" If it replies, "run around in your backyard in a circle, then clap 3 times", (i.e. just use a random number generator) you'll think that's junk and will hate the system. But if it says "go to the corner of Main and Pine at 6:53 AM", then you'll probably do that. No matter that there is no bus route on Main or Pine. It sounds right, so you'll want to follow up. I imagine the same applies to searching for novel molecules. "This looks kind of right, I never would have thought of that", so you get a grant to synthesize it, do some clinical trials, and find that it doesn't work at all. But hey, you had something to do for a couple years, and that outcome happened in the non-AI process all the time too. By the time there is enough data that points strongly at the AI suggestions being as good as random chance, the AI gold rush will be over and cashed out. Or, the hallucinations will turn out to be really good and we'll cure cancer or whatever. What matters is that whoever made the model makes a lot of money either way.
Very odd that the union hasn't been able to resolve this. USPS unions are unusually powrful, not just in comparison to other government employee unions but all unions in general. Protecting employees from being harmed and in some cases dying from workplace conditions is a very basic mission of any union. This should be something the union is pushing against nonstop and not just by filing grievance documents or waiting until the next contract negotiations.

No. I'm implying that they are completely impractical.

You need to have a system with cryogenic superconducting magnets and high vacuum within centimeters from a reactor producing at least hundreds of megawatts of power (if not gigawatts) within a volume of several cubic meters. You're basically constructing a fusion reactor at this point.

Oh, and parts of your accelerator close to the reactor will become activated, so you won't be able to do maintenance. ITER (the fusion reactor project) is planning to solve this problem using robots.

Fission reactors solve this by using VERY THICK pipes made of special steel, with careful inspection of every single weld. So once the vessel and its connections are placed, they stay inside the shielded area until it's time to decommission the reactor.
