But it shows intent for junior roles.

People have no idea how many people just put "AI enthusiast" on LinkedIn profile and start to seek ML roles.

I have had people only with Excel skills apply to ML roles.

And, true thing is every company’s ML tooling/stack/procedure is wildly different. One has to learn on the job.

That's all very well, but the average person does not have the money to spend on well-crafted furniture. At the end of the day, they need somewhere to store their stuff and a cheap chest of drawers does the job. Ethics about buying choices are for people with money and will make zero difference in the grand scheme of things. Maybe that chest of drawers falls apart after 5 years instead of 20, but that's not going to sway a person who just gets by financially.

If you hate globalisation, then maybe that can be tackled with better legislation, improvements in working conditions and standards of living, and other systematic changes. It's not going to be changed by lecturing poor people on the ethics of buying cheap stuff.

However, with cryptography historically the best crypto has been invented in the US and it made much more sense for allies to just use ready made solutions than to roll their own. Do countries on the US crypto exports ban lists have their own incompatible crypto? I dont know, they might, but they for sure don't share it as freely available standards.
Hey i recognized you from the Scala doodle project! that and the other stuff from Underscore was a really cool way to learn Scala & FP, thank you :)
Sometimes they really mess things up when there’s little context.

A few basic examples: “file” in English is both a verb and a noun, but other languages have different words for each. The machine translator will just guess at presenting you the noun or verb.

Other languages have genders for everything, so if a computer is male, but a standalone sentence doesn’t know that, the translator has to take a guess. If it guesses wrong, the sentence will be confusing to the user that thinks it’s about something other than a computer.

That’s just scratching the surface.
The closest large city to me is Oakland, which spent $750m on schools last year:

So this cost 13% of one years spending in a mid-size district.
I think there's definitely probably some motivation in that, but I don't think it captures the whole issue.

As in: I'm sure he probably personally feels emotional about that aspect of it, but the fact that he may have a personal emotional motivation does not make untrue any of the points he may be raising.

But no disparagement to your point, I mean this sincerely: it is good work on that ad hominem if your goal is to dismiss the concerns. Because that "ulterior motivation" ad hominem is a fairly effective way to dismiss it, unless you want to look a little deeper to the real issues. Well done! I mean that, seriously.

From outside it could be hard to tell what's true, so it's worthwhile to consider all the options. He's essentially trying to make allegations about a "black box" process (black in the sense that the NSA is not publishing its calculus and activities on these matters), so who do we trust? It seems it could be unclear right now.

It's very much like the dotcom bubble.

It's going to burst for sure, but people will be using ML/AI anyway.

If that's your concern, then you can safely do ML/AI.

But, don't hold your breath on getting a presrigious role after PhD.

Because, there are very few real AI companies. And their hiring is skewed to Stanford, MIT, UCLA-B, Oxbridge, UToronto, ETH, etc. And getting into these schools in AI was always competitive, but now it is crazy-like because all the prep school kids are eyeing this since basically high-school or even before.

So, there is someone like me, who didn't know about modern AI until last year of college in a different major, then learning on my own and getting research jobs in small time companies with shit pay, and then there are people with tiger parents who are white collar or even academics who helps their children get into a really prestigious school, and there they do AI projects with top professors, who write them recommendations, and who also do summer internships in DeepMind, and then they use that to get a job in a proper ML company. At this point they have 2-4 publications in top tier conference. Then they work in BigTech AI lab for 3-5 years and get at least 4/5 more papers (no upper limit). And these are the people who are going to Stanford PhDs. Not people like me. And then these PhDs will be Research Engineers and such in DeepMind, OpenAI, etc.

So, before deciding to do a PhD from non elite institutions, think hard.

Because of AI hype, the situation is very bad for the rest of us. Because all of the prep school types in STEM want to make it in AI.
My experience with pretty much any consumer company is the opposite? They generally help out.

Random example: I had an expensive Sonos speaker just the other week that broke in a move across the Atlantic. Sonos support helped for nearly an hour trying reset options, then gave me a 30% discount coupon for any product, even though the speaker was long out of warranty.

I don't remember the details at this point, I do remember spending quite a bit of time exploring every avenue I could find on the internet, but still couldn't get it to work. I brought to the Apple store and they basically told me I was out of luck and they couldn't do anything about it.

I’m sorry that you and your family had to experience the loss of your cockatiel that way, and wish the vet had told you to take your little friend home instead.

Regular vets who aren’t avian specialists really can’t do much for pet birds aside from mending injuries; an avian specialist can help you diagnose diet issues before the bird is critically ill, so it might still be worth taking in a bird that seems a bit under the weather to see if it is a diet issue - an awful lot of pet bird problems are diet issues. I took mine to one to have a microchip implanted before exporting her to Germany; not a huge deal with big parrots (they can be injected into the wing), but for small conures, it involves general anesthesia, so I went out of my way to find someone who had a lot of avian experience.

But yes, once a pet bird appears seriously ill, it’s likely too late to do anything other than keep it warm and in a place it feels safe, and let nature take its course.

As far as I know, pretty much all animals, especially prey animals, hide illnesses and injuries, and that is definitely the case for parrots.
I got the impression that Google was running Bard on a smaller model with presumably cheaper inference costs. I imagine the unit economics of both Bard and Chat GPT are negative right now and Google is trying to stay in the game without lighting too much money on fire.
I ha operating system design which I had not even made up a name yet. (It involves proxy capabilities, hypertext file system, multiple locking, programs that the user can program to work together, message passing, structured data, Extended TRON Code, and many other ideas.) But, I would hope to make the discussion about it, to improve and to design some of the details (such as ABI, system calls, file formats, etc; I would propose some (I wrote some ideas so far), anyone (myself and others) could propose and criticize them, etc)

I also have Free Hero Mesh, which is good enough to be used now although it lacks installers, and the puzzle catalog service, etc; and is meant only on GNU/Linux; so you would have to compile and set it up by yourself, although hopefully people who are able to port it, and other help with it. (Also a few features are missing; e.g. currently font sizes are limited to 8x8, and there is no music (although sound effects are implemented).)
Because the cost of entry to the market is so absurdly high right now, it is seen as a good investment opportunity. If you throw enough money at it you can make your place no nice and early and then win later by sheer experience in the field. That is the idea.
Everyone here seems to have a valid perspective.

> Why do people accept this nonsense when it's Apple? They wouldn't for any other company. [...]

Said no one ever while setting up Windows 11, which forces one to use a Microsoft account, or otherwise you just can't use your device.

It's not all the same, but people accept a lot of nonsense from a lot of companies just because "can't do anyway nothing against it".
Activation Lock is a weird feature. Users love it when it helps prevent device theft. But really, at the end of the day, you're giving up control of the device to Apple.

Apple has already stopped supporting activation of certain versions of iOS[0]. Also, just as a user can request locking down a phone at any time, Apple could technically lock down your device when they see fit. They're not going to do that, but the fact that it's possible is a bit freaky.

Someday, far in the future, their activation servers will go down, and no unactivated Apple device will be usable. Already, it is not possible to set up a new device without an Internet connection. Hopefully the jailbreak community figures something out by then, or maybe Apple would release a tool...

Disagree, depending on what you mean by modern. A model that just came out that includes freshly released hardware? Unless it's a Dell Developer Edition or similar that comes with a Linux distro preinstalled and is thus tested, yeah, there might be driver issues.

Otherwise stuff just mostly works. Some due diligence ahead is a good idea to ensure there's no problematic hardware though.

In my experience it is not very long before an update nails MacOS software if you don't actively maintain it. "Indefinitely", if you turn off updates and keep your hardware alive.
I've been in rooms watching cryptographers trying to figure out what exactly it is Bernstein was saying with that blog post for the past week, and I do not believe that Matthew Sparkes at The New Scientist understands it any better than they do. Since Sparkes doesn't have any direct reporting from Bernstein, and nobody here cares about the NIST quotes, the right thing to do here is to treat this story as a dupe.
I expect many HN readers have come across an article in their “area of expertise” and wanted to confidently shout to the world “OMG THIS IS SO WRONG!”

This is my moment.

I can’t read the actual paper, so possibly it’s just badly reported here, but the summary article has deeply wrong statements.

> “airlines also don't incorporate the prices of their competitors in their automated price-setting”

So wrong.

Spend some time on Flyertalk’s “Premium Fare Deals” forum[1]. One of the most common things you’ll find is that as soon as one airline or alliance starts discounting a route, others will often follow.

Maybe OneWorld (British Airways, American etc.) have a sale on transcontinental flights from the West Coast to London. You can bet that Star Alliance (United and Lufthansa etc.) are gonna follow suit, and there’s a good chance SkyTeam (Delta and KLM etc.) will soon too.

Happens all the time, and if this study didn’t find it, it’s a bad study making flawed conclusions.

Happens in shorter domestic routes too. Southwest just did a huge basically 50% off sale, and you can see tons of other carriers lowering their prices to match on routes where they compete.

> “But for now, the hunt for an undiscovered trick to find lower fares is largely futile. “

The only true part of that sentence is “undiscovered”.

Airline pricing is incredibly, incredibly variable. I once flew business class from Europe to the West Coast for $280, on a ticket that’s typically $3,000. (This was likely an “error fare”, the result of someone accidentally leaving out a zero, but it happened and I flew it).

That’s the top of my “good deals on flights” trophy case, but whether you’re paying cash or using miles, there are so, so many different ways to save money on tickets.

I once thought I’d done everything possible to find a great deal, and tried out one of those ticketing services that promises to save you money for a fee. They moved the ticketing location from the US to Canada, and due to the vagaries of currencies and airline pricing, managed to save me another 12% on the (already quite discounted) flight.

I expect this study’s conclusion is so deeply flawed because they looked at too limited of a data set. Perhaps they’re correct and, for example, the price of an economy class flight between LAX and JFK on a Thursday evening doesn’t change much. But in aggregate, the cost of getting from point a to point b on an airplane, especially over transcontinental distances is incredibly variable, and deal hunting can be incredibly rewarding.

That's not fair. NIST has a documented history of working with the NSA, intentionally hiding that interaction, and the outcome was a major security problem. So it seems DJB believes that NIST has not provided sufficient documentation, and given their history it's reasonable to take a position that if they don't do that, the outcome cannot be trusted.

So the issue is that once NIST did that the irrevocably destroy any basis to say "you can trust us". Hence they cannot have anything that they cannot document the source for. e.g. any non-trivial numbers have to have a documented generation path, and any non-trivial numbers in those steps also have to have a documented generation path.

Let's assume for now NIST is being 100% honest, and there's no attempted subterfuge. How can we distinguish that from them intentionally hiding subterfuge? Even though in this hypothetical where we're assuming no corruption, we have no way to know unless we have everything.

It's not reasonable for anyone at this point to have an algorithm that has any unexplained numbers, but for an organization that is again documented as having sabotaged standards it's absurd.
So you're saying that the SAFEST of all tracking devices should be the one used as a test-case to set a legal precedent against the harm that tracking devices could cause?

This reminds of the legal urban-myth(?) where if you grievously injure someone but had the intent to kill them, you get less time than if you didn't intend to hurt them at all.

Yes, such things are nice. The well-known URI [0] system is also sometimes used for this, at least there's one entry for Thunderbird under the "autoconfig/mail" subdirectory. Having some of those auto-config methods available for git send-mail could be nice, as it would lower the barrier a bit further, even if most devs are probably able to check their SMTP endpoint and port.

This is something that's always puzzled me - why is searching in Windows always so gosh darn slow? You'd think with an entire background service dedicated to file indexing, I'd be able to quickly find files in a directory tree with the word "foo" in their file name or contents, but even with a modern SSD it still takes at least a minute on any remotely populated directory.

In my opinion you shouldn't be worried about that possibility, the presence of the US in the middle east right now is probably just to deter other parties from escalating the conflict. The US has no interest and no intent for entering Gaza, Israel has the resources to deal with Hamas on it's own.

One of the most important parts of this conflict I think which most people here aren't talking about ia the geopolitics in the middle east. Most of this is still just a big old proxy war spear-headed by Iran. All the big terrorist groups and actors in the region wheather it be Gaza-based terror groups like Hamas or Lebanon's Hezbollah are funded and controlled by Iran.

There's a whole Wikipedia page on it, actually:

It's really hit or miss, and kind of depends on the product category, and the manufacturer. Sonos has an uphill battle convincing people to even think about an option other than AirPods. Some manufacturers will give their support reps tremendous freedom to just send free shit out for positive word of mouth.

Apple is in no need of positive word of mouth, and in fact thrives despite a very vocal subset of consumers that are adamantly against anything Apple does (sometimes rightly, sometimes wrongly).

That is, Sonos has to work to keep you a customer, but plenty of Apple customers will just buy Apple no matter what.

Moving to a new process node gives you a choice of increasing performance or lowering power draw.

Apple has been unusual in that they have not pursued "performance no matter what it does to power draw and heat" like other companies have in recent years.

> On the CPU side of things, Apple’s initial vague presentation of the new A15 improvements could either have resulted in disappointment, or simply a more hidden shift towards power efficiency rather than pure performance. In our extensive testing, we’re elated to see that it was actually mostly an efficiency focus this year, with the new performance cores showcasing adequate performance improvements, while at the same time reducing power consumption, as well as significantly improving energy efficiency.

https://www.anandtech.com/show/16983/the-apple-a15-soc-perfo...

Others may make different choices.

The early reporting said the A17 improved the performance on the big cores by 10%, but not the little cores. If they had used the node change oooortunity for performance increases, you would expect to see the gains on both the big and little cores.

> Apple says the performance cores are 10 percent faster than they were before, a relatively mild improvement, while the efficiency cores are more efficient rather than being faster.

NIST refereed a competition among the best-regarded academic cryptographers in the world. It didn't design any of these constructions, and practically all of the inputs into the competition, including the critiques of the submissions, came from academics (many of them not American).

How would regulating guns make tracking less problematic?

It's still a problem in societies which have gun regulations. You can murder someone without a gun, too. Stalking is there without guns too.

Let's just face the obvious: bringing up a huge and dramatic topic like gun regulation makes the issue which is the topic here look less dramatic. This is it. There isn't more to it. The argument makes no other senese here.
Maybe quality control?
