Without digging in too deeply in an issue well outside of my depth. The US took explicit issue with the Alawite majority in Syria very very recently

This most recent conflict has been resplendent with what aboutism and false narratives and accusations that certain groups aren’t represented.
Absolute looney toons garbage. Check the list of previous publications and you'll find that in the past 3 months(!) the author claims to have broken RSA, disproved the existence of dark matter, and shown that irrational and complex numbers do not exist.
adventure game I'm working on (GPT+Dall-E) that is open-ended image+text AI-driven game. I'm hoping to launch before Nov 6 with DALL-E 3 API.

Some people have hooked AI dungeon / koboldAI up to stable diffusion to generate these kinds of procedural Ender's game style interactive graphical text adventures with varying degrees of success.

If your game is going to be similar, you'd better get in the habit of aggressively caching the generated imagery for it on S3 because no way the DALL-E 3 API is going to be cheap.
No idea, but if I'd had to speculate: Probably ProMotion activates a quite different internal rendering mode, and fixed 60 Hz mode offers a way to opt out of that?

Many applications have a way of synchronizing their drawing loop to the monitor refresh rate, for example; ProMotion must be doing something clever to support them, or they'd just force the refresh rate to 120 Hz.

macOS also supports variable refresh rate external monitors these days (via both DisplayPort and HDMI); I'm not sure if that would be labeled "ProMotion" in the display settings, but in any case there are things that can go wrong there, and having a way to opt out of that at the HDMI/DisplayPort signal level (and not just fixing the frame rate at the GPU level while driving the external link under VRR) seems like a good idea.
I'd consider Starlark more obscure and less well-supported/documented than Dhall.
They have pulled updates [1]. The one person I know who was affected was given a replacement.

I suppose I'm failing to see the need for a public statement if you've fixed the problem and provide service to those affected. Nobody can pull the faulty update anymore. And it's not like someone with a bricked device is more likely to see a PR statement than seek out support.

They might come from the factory that way, but often they're re-imaged with much less spartan Windows installations. My personal reference for this is ages ago in real time, but relatively recent in corporate years
Yeah exactly. Especially today when being religious, much less "virtuous" is totally against the cultural grain.
> It's not "refreshing" to hide problems

Hiding entails ignoring the problem. They're not doing that. Their track record is to fix it. Not every action needs an accompanying tweet and blog post.
Anyone contemplating a cold winter and wanting to immerse themselves in a fun indoor project, pick up a Teensy and get project-ing. I have built several small projects with Teensies (?) and always find them enjoyable.

We live in a magic time when there are so many projects online, you can easily breadboard up one with the Teensy (or other small devices) and go all the way to professional-looking PCB with very little outlay in cash.
I can't find a publicly accessible SD1 model, but CompVis LatentDiffusion also uses the LAION dataset.

(1) go to https://huggingface.co/spaces/multimodalart/latentdiffusion

(2) enter "businesspeople arguing in the boardroom" as the prompt

(3) generate a couple images

(4) find things which look a lot lot lot like watermarks of stock photo companies

The same mistakes of so-called 'AI companies' especially ChatGPT wrappers being solely built on top of someone else's platform always risk getting themselves sherlocked.

Jasper.ai is a great example of a startup at complete risk after Sam Altman said that "We’re not trying to go and compete with our partners." [1] which a complete and obvious lie.

Nitpick: the title if this article currently is “Norwegian ban on Meta behavioral advertising extended to entire EU”

Either “Entire” shouldn’t be there, as Norway isn’t in the EU, or “EU” should be “European Economic Area” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Economic_Area).

My Norwegian is almost nonexistent, but I think it’s the latter. It makes more sense to my understanding of law (why else would a Norwegian claim extend to EU countries?) and the Norwegian title mentions “EU/EØS”, and that matches the Norwegian name of that Wikipedia page (https://nn.wikipedia.org/wiki/EØS)

If so, it also would apply to Iceland and Liechtenstein.
It's the safest default. If you want a filesystem that automatically downgrades the safety of your data when things go wrong, you should have to opt-in to such behavior (and btrfs does make that possible).
Many of these rules are things that only became obvious after I worked on an extremely large production database where downtime was counted in millions of dollars an hour, we didn't know who all our users were, some unknown users were load-bearing, and we had a bunch of postmortems describing historical incidents.

I don't think the article mentions it, but one other technique we used- which still is a big question mark to me- is that we "trickled" changes to the database. Instead of changing all the rows in a single big transaction, the change was broken into thousands of little changes that were rolled out over a series of days. The reason for this is that if there is an unexpected problem, you have more time to stop the change and mitigate the damage.
Well, at least everyone with too much money on their hands and no useful notion of how to spend it.

Hey, I have an idea! Let me train an LLM to make suggestions on how to use LLMs! That can't fail, can it?
Again, the link is not against an open door policy. It’s saying an open door policy itself won’t fix anything without focusing efforts towards a solution. Without that nuance it risks creating a toxic culture of endless complaining and limited accountability.
I remember an answer from Quora about how lawyers handle such a witness on cross-examination: They say, “well, we have this evidence from the time saying you did/said XYZ. So you’re saying you can’t think of anything that would contradict that account?”

Thanks for calling it out, pretty clear to me too that that’s where this article was headed. It sucks to see stuff like this posted on HN, feels like a let down.

Hamas won under 50% of one election in 2006, then murdered the opposing party and halted all future elections.
There was a Show HN a few months ago with something similar where a GPT agent would open up PRs with corresponding code against your GitHub repo.
> Sure it's largely wrong, but it's a strange sort of indoctrination to care about

That was just one example of a particularly egregious strawman. It made "evolutionists" out to be a lot dumber than they actually are by misrepresenting what they believe. They made similar arguments against some of Darwin's since discredited theories, again, as if they were things that modern scientists believe. And there were plenty of other untruths and logical errors, so much so that I think it's very likely these people were not arguing in good faith.

I agree that it's not a very important subject for everyday life or for most careers, but that kind of intellectual dishonesty being presented as the absolute divine truth is not good for developing a child's reasoning abilities imo.

And as another sibling comment points out, creationism tends to pit people against science and intellectualism in general. The only thing that can be truly known is the absolute truth of the Bible.
While "destroying humanity" is hyperbolic, and perhaps should say "tarnishing notions of reality" or whatever, this does make the case for the stodgy old camera, where the focus (pun not intended) is on realistic rendering, and letting you radically transform images externally.

I like the separation of camera as entirely artistic/expressionistic and an impartial recorder. I can choose between my photorealistic self and my Ansel Adams "the image is created in the darkroom" (now software) self.

If it weren't for those stodgy old cameras, why even bother with phone cameras when AI can create even more dazzling images on its own than by transmogrifying your cellphone snaps?

"Hal, make me look like I'm holding up the Golden Gate Bridge"

Hal will do a much nicer job of "Make me look like I'm standing on the apex of the Golden Gate Bridge" or taking a leap from it, which it can do, nondestructively.

By extension, AI can create trip photos without the trip, or wedding photos without the wedding. Think of the money you'll save.
I don't have an idiosyncratic take on this most recent conflict. I'm a white blue state liberal, my views on that situation are predictable. But Israel being a European colonialist enterprise is false, or, at least if it's true, it's true of every other state in the region, and to an extent insufficient to explain much of anything happening. Most Israeli citizens and most Israeli Jewish people are not of European origin, and a great many of them were quite literally forced to relocate to Israel.
This article claims that it's the usage of "\b" specifically causing this behavior, but in my experience, all it takes is sufficient garbage to make ChatGPT behave oddly.

For example, if I prompt it with a long enough string of "A A A A A A A A [...]", then it returns bizarre results. Note that the spaces are important. If I just use "AAAAAAA..." then it will say something like "It seems like you've entered a long string of "A" characters. Is there something specific you'd like to know or discuss?"

Example of just lots of "A A A ...": https://chat.openai.com/share/e10a7fb7-80d6-46fe-a8f2-3dfaff...
I’m not mad about all of the external hardware and setup. Those would be the same had they used a traditional camera.
I do, however, feel like it’s cheating to use a custom, more powerful and likely lower level, app rather than the regular Camera app. It means that even with all that hardware, no one else would be able to get those results from an iPhone.

Edit: actually it looks like they’re using the Blackmagic Camera[1] available on the App Store

Seems like the easiest path to increased speed is to hold software constant whilst processing and networking continue to improve.

Historically, software has continued to behave like a gas, expanding to fill space and consume resources. The resources generally do not belong to the software authors.

Software isn't eating the world, it's eating your computer's resources and the bandwidth you pay for every month.
In my experience, socialization at school is "broader" in that you meet kids from a wider range of the population, but that breadth is destroyed by the fact that they are all exactly the same age as you are.

Homeschooling brings you into contact with a self-selected subset of the population, but across much wider range of ages.

This often turns out to be more broadly valuable.
This just isn't true, certainly in the sense that I meant it. What about a breast cancer charity who wants to raise awareness of the early signs of breast cancer? A domestic violence charity who wants to raise awareness of the signs that a friend of yours is the victim of domestic violence? There are countless examples like that that I'm sure you could have come up with rather than a flippant dismissal.
It is the fact that LLM's can't and don't try to write valid programs. They try to write something which reads like a reply to your question, using their corpus of articles, exchanges etc. That's not remotely the same thing, and it's not at all about "accuracy" or "tokens".
> the change was broken into thousands of little changes

Could you elaborate on how this worked?
It's not even exclusive to religions. Ethnic tension with and without religious difference. In fact, religious conflicts are not infrequently dressed up ethnic conflicts. People are tribal, and religious affiliation is just one means for defining tribes.
Honestly there's enough junk content out there that I don't see generative AI making much of a difference.

What we need is better habits around peer-to-peer recommendation. I need people I know with good taste to spend more time talking about the games that they like!
Someone like MS should have more than enough resources to bust patent trolls in court instead of chickening out.

Also, can't whole AOM pool resources to annihilate those trolls? They'll all benefit from it. So this doesn't make sense.
> ...you get infinite forgiveness, so long as you truly repent...

Thinking back to an earlier comment up the chain (from someone else) about how being nonreligious doesn't offer enough moral guidance, and I kinda think the "infinite forgiveness" thing is exponentially more fraught than even the most detached "nothing really matters" atheist.

Being able to do literally anything and not face cosmic consequences so long as you say you're sorry is mind-boggling to me. I wonder if it's partly why so many convicted murderers get born-again when they're in prison.
The link gives me:

"The owner of this website (www.graana.com) has banned the country or region your IP address is in (IL) from accessing this website."

I guess maybe it's a protest against that genocidal war the government here is waging on Gaza.
Fair perhaps, but OpenAI doesn't need to build everything on their roadmap (what company actually does?). They could likely save themselves a good chunk of time to focus on what's really important (zero to one stuff), rather than reimplementing what someone else has already done.

Partnering with these smaller companies could be a good way for OpenAI to foster its community and spread the benefits of AI more widely; instead, my perception is that they're punishing the little guy for having a good idea and being able to act on it quickly.
This hard plastic stuff is super dangerous, not only because you need tools to open them but also because unless your tool is very sharp you're going to use quite a bit of force and if your tool is sharp that means it can cut you just as easily as it can cut the plastic unless it is especially designed for the job. And once opened the plastic itself becomes sharp enough to cut with.
Looks like reds new camera app, anyone could just download it
As I said, I am pretty sure I remember seeing that phrase by Wadler but can't find the paper now. However, even in your link, Wadler says:

-"SICP is a brilliant book, but it is also a dangerous one. It is dangerous because it teaches students to scheme instead of to calculate."

- "SICP is a book about Scheme, not about programming."

- "SICP's emphasis on the 'scheming' approach to programming is a mistake."

- "SICP does not adequately teach the fundamentals of programming."

Is that what you call intellectually honest?
Ah, right that makes more sense. I guess though it's still not clear that it really makes much difference. Like even when the intelligent design people acknowledge that plant breeding exists, but claim "macroevolution" is impossible or whatever, does that even matter? If you're not going to be a geneticist, it's basically just trivia.
High-lights? ;-)
> having things fail to boot by default would be a nightmare.

Having things fail to boot would just mean you haven't configured your system appropriately for your environment. If you are using a btrfs RAID filesystem for your root filesystem, and you need that fs to be writeable in order to boot, and you want it to boot even if it's missing a drive, then you need to add an extra mount option and a few lines to your init scripts to persist new downgraded RAID settings in the event a degraded mount was necessary.

But that's hardly the only valid use case for btrfs; plenty of users want strong guarantees about the redundancy of their data rather than silent downgrading.

Also, do you really expect me to believe that any of the large shops still running enough spinning rust to have daily drive failures are still booting off those arrays instead of having separate SSDs as their boot drives? Separate storage of the OS from storage of the important data is such a common and long-ingrained practice that it is embodied in the physical layout of typical server systems, and the primary reason for it is the need for different tradeoffs between performance, redundancy, capacity and cost.
I was just testing to see the comparison and ran into a message saying I was out of GPT-4 queries, despite having deliberately selected Phind as my model.

Now I'm confused if the results I was seeing really were from a different model than GPT-4 or not.
I feel there is an obvious appeal to the MacBook Pro 14"/16" with M3. It has a good display, lots of battery life, and plenty of performance.

I'm more confused about the "M3 Pro" variant. Its performance either seems to be overkill or not enough. A more sensible lineup to me would be:

M3 - 2 thunderbolt ports, dual monitor support, memory up to 8-24gb (2x4, 2x6, 2x8, 2x12, 2x16). In the MacBook Pro, always comes equipped with second tier upgrades.

M3 Max - 3 thunderbolt ports, quad monitor support, 32-128gb (8x4, 8x6, 8x8, 8x12, 8x16).

Then again this wouldn't let Apple upsell people on basic functionality like dual monitor support so they'll never do this.
Honestly who cares, at least they use the iPhone unlike Huawei which tried to pass off DSLR photos as a phone pic:

TL;DR: risk is probably pretty low

I used to struggle with this too, but now I look at it this way: you're always at risk of being breached when connecting to the Internet (zero days in Browser, Router, maybe IoT devices on the local network, supply chain attack of some installed software, router, ...). Everything you add to your system/network adds attack surface. But: somewhat popular github projects are usually low risk, because 1) enough people are looking into it to be reasonably sure there's nothing funny in the code base, 2) it's not big enough to be an instetesting targeted for malicious actors.

I think a big part of why it feels scary is the unpredictability you mention. You don't know how you would be compromised and whether you would even notice. Sure you could get comprised and then spread the infection, but it's extremely hard to build malware like that. The much more likely scenario is the that the malware tries to steal crypto or encrypts your files. The chances that something really bad would happen are very slim (Do you even have large amounts of crypto? Do you not have any backups of important files?). In the end that's just a risk you'll have to live with (when connecting to the Internet) just like you're at risk of getting hit by a car when going outside.
Dropbox is a great example because they focused on positioning to endure

Now their pitch is more focused on collaboration and versioning, and better tailored towards creatives than home users as it once was

Positioning is what lets you win when your core value proposition becomes common: it won't work as well as when your value prop wasn't common, but it can still be highly profitable
I think it is valid criticism that that HumanEval benchmark is not completely representative, they also say it in the post.
You beat me to it, that scissors thing happened to me too. Highly frustrating.

I think you missed my point.

If the stock market crashes, there is a bug in the stock market.

You should fix the bug, not pass a law telling people not to do the thing that cashes the stock market.
NCLB and charter schools made that bucket very leaky.
I think we're making the same point really - I meant that it's not that OP's a student that means you might not want to actually use it for something, that just seems a bit mean/gatekeepy, but also naïve, to me.

I don't think there's any reason not to experiment with this any more than similar ShowHN hobby work from anyone else. i.e. follow its progress, maybe toy with it in your own hobby thing.

And honestly, I knew more about how to write a TCP/IP stack when I was a student than now. If I could do a better job now it would only be from some experience writing other code to RFC spec.
That’s a massive reading comprehension fail on your part. The context of a statement is critical in understanding it’s meaning.

It’s obvious both from the statement and the preceding ones that what’s being argued is the legality of specific actions. Quoting a tiny fragment of text and reacting in isolation to those words is reacting at imaginary ideas disconnected from what was actually said.

Also, the idea of a law preventing some type of action is a rather silly premise, people constantly break laws. Laws moderate behavior so they at best prevent specific incidents instead of totally eliminating specific behaviors.
I didn't even have a computer to use when I was initially learning. I'm not quite sure how I decided I wanted to learn, as I didn't have any friends or family who were programmers. But somehow I got interested and got books on BASIC and other simple languages from the library. I wrote my first programs with pen and paper on the kitchen table and had to "run" them in my head. I was probably about 7 or 8 years old, and didn't actually get access to a programmable computer until I was 10 (Hypercard on the school's computer lab). Which really frustrated me, as I didn't have access to a manual for Hypercard, so I couldn't figure out how to translate the ideas I knew from BASIC like loops into Hypercard.

It took until I was about 11 or so to finally get a computer of my own, a $50, rather antique at the time, IBM XT. Though really, the real breakthrough was when I got my second computer, a 286 or so that I literally took from a neighbor's trash. That computer I could mess around with without worrying about breaking it!
"Trade" encompasses anything that involves the transfer of goods, services, and/or money between different parties.

Those who do ransoming and racketeering are participating in a subset of trade more specifically called "illicit trade".
With respect to the pretraining data, its true that we're probably SOL there in terms of verification. But for fine-tuning, they could still publish the dataset and see if others can reproduce their results as well as audit for contamination.

If we're comparing benchmark deltas between different fine-tuned variants that share the same base models, that seems like the bare minimum we should expect to come along with performance claims.
Pretty similar background here. Maybe successfully homeschooled adults are just hesitant to dive into this sort of discussion anecdote first?
