Well, not every one. I made an android locally run AI ESRGAN super resolution app (a year ago) to upscale your photos without uploading them "to the cloud" and it was a normal app with a normal UI.

There was a free and a paid version (the only difference was ads I was planning to run every couple of uses, but at the level of usage there was no point enabling them). I say it was, because Google has likely pulled it from the store for not being upgraded to android 13 before the end of August.

Not that many people were interested (about ~5 paid and 30 new free users per month) for about a year. So I'm not spending lots of time on it (it was me testing if people are interested in more private AI solutions, some are, but not the majority).

Instead we have apps like ones described and they have 1mln+ installs so evidently people want them. If I had to make my living making mobile apps I'd probably make the exact same thing seeing their success.
Cloud streaming would work for the vast majority of games. It just wouldn't work for realtime ones.

Civilization, SimCity, zoo tycoon, Paradox Grand strategy games, etc... Would all be fine to play on a streaming platform
This seems like it would work really well in precisely the kind of hot sweltering areas at highest risk from climate extremes like India, Central America, etc.

GPT-4: Consistent Karma Generator for Reddit
Hi! I was wondering if GPT4 can easily assimilate to diverse set of subreddits, and the results confirm it.

Really hope Reddit won't get spammed with product advertisement agents, I still find it better than google for queries that got too SEO-optimized.
"LLMs and diffusion models continue to drive real-world breakthroughs, especially in the life sciences, with meaningful steps forward in both molecular biology and drug discovery."

See above.
They are both mobile devices, and readers of these comments might have devices of either kind. (Or both or neither, or something else.)
Tend to agree about the article's content (though there are a couple good jokes), but what people are commenting on here is the thesis of the article, that the point we're at in the "generative AI" hype cycle is noisily creating a lot of useless crap.
FWIW, I remember Intel manuals years ago warning that CPUID results might change across cores, but it seems software did not prepare :)
Mar Menor: cleaning Europe's largest saltwater lagoon
This is really excellent work. The fact that it is seemingly easy to deprogram LLM's makes me hopeful. I wonder whether that will lead to more barriers in the future though, like eliminating "harmful" content already at the dataset level.
Molly is a just as good (if not better) fork of Signal that is distributed on FDroid. It's the same network and same chats/contacts, just a different front-end.

And Signal avoids FDroid because they don't want someone else signing packages but they can always provide an FDroid repository like many others do and sign everything themselves.

If push comes to shove they'll be fine and pressure to black box signal in the EU is unlikely to hold up if they can just move users to another app store.

> If you reach the magma layer and you still have nothing, then you’d be encouraged to pivot. But that’s not how you find business opportunities in the real world.

I think he is treating pivoting as if it's some totally random exercise. Surely a pivot is when you see something within your existing activity that may be a better avenue to pursue? Or am I misunderstanding that?
No, I was merely giving some context. If people want to use an Apple device, I won't judge them. Especially if they can enable adblockers there now, too.

Your other option is assuming there is industry wide financial reporting fraud across multiple businesses and multiple countries for many decades.

Stores have different costs due to selling:

1) different quality of goods

2) employing different quality/quantity of workers

3) different locations having different
real estate/insurance/tax/labor costs

4) offering fewer or more services/products

Etc.
That does not tell me what a "Verified Complaint" really is. Obviously that is a technical term. Same with "Nature of the Action". If those points under "Nature of the Action" are merely points raised by Twitter, how can I trust them? Or did the court confirm those points? If so, I did not find where the document says that.

But let us stop here. It is obvious that you are very confident in interpreting documents like that. So I hope you are enjoying great gains from your investments based on your interpretations in similar cases.

Strong agree. I've heard Bernstein described before now has having "all the subtlety of The Incredible Hulk". Quite possibly there's some things he can get away with only because he's a brilliant cryptographer.

Designing curve25519 was, in terms of practical impact, an achievement I'd put in the same category as inventing RSA or Diffie-Hellman. Not because the ideas were new, but because they came together in a way that produces something that "just works" in practice, and you don't have to worry about invalid curve points and twist attacks and accidentally using the addition formula for a point doubling and many other things. The idea that instead of a framework where you can plug in your own parameter choices and some of them might be secure, you can just build a crypto library that does one thing well, was certainly new enough that no-one else seemed to be doing it at the time. The fact that when I need a key for real, most of the time I do `ssh-keygen -t ed25519` or the equivalent in other systems speaks for itself.

As does the fact that github has deprecated the ssh-dss key type and recommends ed25519 and the default: in the contest between Ed25519 and DSA/ECDSA for digital signatures, Bernstein wins hands down and NIST has egg on their face. Although I have no proof of malice, I haven't yet heard a rational explanation for just how badly ECDSA mangles the Schnorr protocol in exactly the way that means a lot of implementations end up with horrible security holes.

And then there's the Snowden leaks and DUAL_EC. "The NSA has interfered with crypto standards in the past, reliable leaks show it was part of their mission statement, and they could be doing so again." is to me a statement backed up by plausible evidence that's very far from the usual conspiracy theories. This is not faked-moon-landings territory.

And I should also say, there are a lot of ways of being evil that to my knowledge no-one has ever accused Bernstein of: as far as I know, he's never been accused of raping or sexually assaulting anyone, nor has he said anything particularly racist or pushed any far-right ideology. He has been accused of insulting and occasionally threatening people who disagree with him on technical matters, but he's not what we usually mean by "bad/evil person, avoid if possible".

I'd say he has a fairly spotless track record in cryptographic protocol design, and a fairly stained one in interacting with other humans. When he's pushing back against design decisions that actually are stupid/evil, that's an asset; in lots of other cases it's not.
Frenkel was also recently a guest on Lex Fridman's podcast, very interesting.

It's kind of sad that you seem to think that Windows and Android-as-supplied-by-the-phone-maker are the only alternatives to Apple.

Your example about Edge shows that Windows is also a walled garden. They just haven't finished all the wall building quite yet.

Apple is, at least often, better than those. It's just that none of them are good enough.
AFAIK, there is a lot of evidence for climate change being a very large factor for neanderthals disappearing.
Bad scrollbars (and other UI elements) are all symptoms of the origin of the web as a document/form platform and subsequent attempts to use it for interactive apps. This has has popularized some really useful paradigms in applications (back buttons, breadcrumbs), but the lack of capable standardized controls has been painful. I'm hopeful we'll eventually claw our way out of these dark ages, but there's a lot of maturing that needs to happen in web UI designers for that to happen. It's not a lack of skill on their part, but rather a lack of taste. They simply don't know how responsive and useful an interface could be because they've grown up on shitty interfaces.

Edit: I missed the society part from the original argument. The value doesn’t need to be to society but to some people somewhere in order to succeed.

Of course it is! Show me a successful business that doesn’t give genuine value to their target audience.

The target audience may not be who you think it is, but you had best believe that someone is getting value or else the business would fail.

Another version of the attack is to manipulate an innocent image in a way that's flagged by detection systems, and then spread that image somehow. If any of the responses are automatic, then it's a lot of false positives in the system, a lot of contact from police, disabling of the host, things like this.
This is true, but the article is also right about the current state of AI apps. I can't wait for the hype to die down, for the nonsense to die out, and for the signal to noise ratio to shoot up. There is tons of real signal in the space! Pure cynicism on it is not warranted. But it's also reasonable to point out how much noise there is at the moment.

Which brings this conversation full circle.

The Windows 10 Start Menu scrollbar is unclickably skinny.

It is supposed to expand when you stop your workflow to undertake the Hover-Your-Pointer-Tip-Over-The-Miniscule-Scrollbar Ordeal. If you win, the scrollbar will typically expand to something less difficult. But expansion doesn't happen so reliably that it has your full trust.
> 1. The graph makes it look like COVID lockdowns are driving the current conversation. That wasn't caused by monopolies.

I don't think anyone is claiming that covid policies and covid itself had no effect, the argument is that the events of 2020 created the circumstances that businesses exploited to drive profits and inflation.

The Frustrating State of the Word
Signal being restricted to F-Droid would be the end of the app as any kind of mass phenomenon. Sure, like my fellow nerds here on HN, I use F-Droid. But none of the ordinary friends and relatives I managed to convince to install Signal, since it was free from the Play Store with just a few taps, would continue using the app if it were relegated to that repository they have never heard of.

Signal’s developers have spoken on a number of occasions about how their aim is to ensure encryption for the masses, not a techie elite.

Every application already believes its at address 0 and can allocate as much memory as it wants. This is literally fractional reserve banking applied to memory management. Seems to be ok.
In my unqualified opinion, I would think having an iCloud account tied to the device that the person in possession of said device doesn't own shows "clear and compelling testimony or documentation to the contrary [of them being the rightful/current owner]". Although, I can see how others might argue it proves nothing; in the end, neither side is probably 100% correct in all of the scenarios, and it's all up to interpretation.

All I know for sure is I can say I'm glad I'm not a lawyer!
People are focusing on ads and other annoyances. Don't get me wrong—those are far and away the most egregious. Get rid of them, though, and mobile web browsing still sucks. Many sites offer only a stripped-down version compared to the desktop or simply render strangely. And iOS at least is so aggressive about saving memory, even on my 14 Pro, that tabs will be unloaded despite my not doing much, forcing a refresh.
It's not you, mobile everything is awful.

But firefox on android, though still not great, seems closer to a desktop experience.

Total guesswork on my part, but at the simplest level it could be something like they'll let you store context on their system (for example, in a long system prompt) and let you pull that in more easily than sending it over the wire on every request. At a more complex level, it could be something like having their own RAG for knowledge you upload and to automatically use it to supplement your future requests, but that feels far less likely to me.
Sure, what you list may or may not have been missed, but they can all be vetted under the same model. It is possible to make things more automatically secure, step by step.

>I don't see how more ram would extend the lifetime? Isn't there other factors that matter more?

Because RAM is the hard cap (if you ignore SWAP) while here's infinite number of CPU cycles. With a slow CPU things will just take a bit longer, but with not enough RAM then that's it, it's game over for your workloads (again if you ignore SWAP which I don't want to rely on, especially on a system where SSD is soldered).
Sharpening an artificially dulled knife makes it dangerous again. We call upon the seller of dull knives to rethink selling knives at all, otherwise someone could stab someone else.

Here’s a fun thing - wait until they find out that you can lora bad stuff back into the model even if you found a way to not have it in there in the first place.

Bad stuff is just the combination of concepts that may, each on its own, be benign.

It’s obvious that RLHF based conditioning is not working and we’ve invented PR based security theatre around the technology.

We sell sharp knives in stores and many other useful technologies with risks. The risks of this technology are not entirely apparent at all. X is full of video game footage and misinformation even without AI, completely overrun. The owner sells the trust and safety mark.

Google, when searching for chat GPT before the app was released showed you 7 ads for malware wrappers on their own store, while bemoaning the risks of AI and urging regulators to protect them with strong requirements.

“Protect us from open source and we give you control over this faaangerous technology that will somehow overrun us with more misinformation and harm than you can find on google, X and Facebook”. A truly chinese faustian bargain, large tech companies compliant to the state in exchange for monopolies to deliver is from the dangers of technology.

At the minimum we should enforce exactly the same limits on LLMs as on search. That means Google can’t profit if they lobby for lobotomizing their competitors.

Tatask is an infinitely nestable task management system designed to help break down complex projects into simple, actionable steps.

I assume the answer to that will be that there is no need to differentiate between them. And honestly, I agree with that argument. Possession of CSAM should be illegal regardless of whether it's "real" or not.

But the proposed scanning system is the wrong solution, regardless of any "real or AI" ambiguity, because it's possible to generate false positives with nonsense images that aren't even close to the expected CSAM, real or otherwise.
I think you’ve made a good point but I’d also note that one can have satisfaction and happiness from small(er) bits of work done well in the context of a larger undesirable/burnout/failure situation. And maybe even such outlook can help stave off burnout during difficulty stretches when paired with a somewhat stoic perspective that one is not entirely responsible for the fate of the larger company/team
