I don’t think it’s anything like that example, google is an advertising conglomerate not an LLM api company. Anthropic is like a camera company when apple first started making phones in your analogy. Going to become a very important feature to be sure, but not a competing device maker.

By failure I don’t mean they can’t make an LLM product, I mean the LLM product doesn’t have majority market share to be used as an ad surface (or other monetization strategy). That’s only partly dependent on their research and modeling efforts. The revenues they could make from an LLM api business are too small to register for them right now, the market share and product work is also important.

I didn’t take away the same message. To me it was a decent attempt to explain that offensive liberal bourgeois foodies have been sold a bill of truthy sounding bullshit because that is how free markets work. If you want to help someone tell them the truth, if you want to help yourself then tell them what they want to believe. There is a whole market of selling expensive things and claiming it will save the planet or the poor or stop colonialism or some other lie which is designed to enrich the seller.

In terms of peak bullshit, I personally think the absurd stupidity of vertical farming is what caused most people to realize the ideas coming out of one camp are mostly bullshit.

Yea, there is no possible way it could be sustainable, the amount of labor required would likely plunge the entire world into war.

Yes, you can. The model that I was talking about LLaVA only output text but other models such as SEEM (https://github.com/UX-Decoder/Segment-Everything-Everywhere-...) outputs a segmentation map. You could prompt the model "Where is the pickleball in the image?" and get a segmentation map that you could then use to compute its center. Please let me know if you would be interested to have SEEM available in Datasaurus

Some people suck. Some people need kidneys. Some people who need kidneys are people that suck.

I guess the answer to your question lies in whether you believe that humans are predisposed towards good or evil.

Evolutionarily the argument goes that humans are predisposed towards cooperation (i.e. good) which also seems to be backed up by archeological evidence (e.g. unremarkable individuals clearly being cared for up to old age despite evident disabilities or injuries that would have made them unable to contribute to the group's survival). Thus it seems that a general predisposition towards "evil" (for lack of a better word) is rare or otherwise the result of circumstances, socialization and socio-economics (e.g. living in a system incentivizing competition over cooperation).

On the other hand a devout Catholic would argue that man is inherently corrupt and sinful and requires deliberate salvation to become good. Or an economist might argue that a human is ideally a rational actor only interested in optimizing their own benefit (which most would probably characterize as "being a bit of a dick"). And then there's the old Greek dead guy's saying of "man is wolf to man" (i.e. people suck). And I'm sure depending on your life experiences and circumstances you have met plenty of people who suck as well.

Of course there's the odd chance that your act of kindness as a donor may change a person who suck's outlook on life and make them suck less rather than die as a miserable husk of a person. But that's just rolling the dice at that point so the question still remains.

There may be some interest in having access to Google’s machine learning hardware as well.

Google probably knows how to do pretty good AI powered replacement search.

It doesn't know how to keep new information flowing into the AI.

If AI replaces the need to visit the original website and everyone just stays on google.com then a great deal of the web will just stop being updated because nobody is reading it and nobody will read it.

That's googles problem. Frankly it's a problem for every company who wants to try and supplant google search with AI.

I think this paragraph in particular should be explained to all introductory students in any STEM-related field. It sets the stage for a basic yet profound understanding of what mathematics is all about:

> "To discuss this subject we start in the middle. We suppose that we already know what integers are, what zero is, and what it means to increase a number by one unit. You may say, “That is not in the middle!” But it is the middle from a mathematical standpoint, because we could go even further back and describe the theory of sets in order to derive some of these properties of integers. But we are not going in that direction, the direction of mathematical philosophy and mathematical logic, but rather in the other direction, from the assumption that we know what integers are and we know how to count."

Beyond that, an understanding of algebraic concepts in terms of how equations can be manipulated from one form to another (and of the rationale for why one can) might benefit from the addition of the concepts of distribution and commutation, which are not included in this lecture (although the important basic idea of a successor is).

I run a media site on the low end of popularity (about 200k MAU). In 2015, we were able to make 36k a month with merely 2 banner ads per page, and one sponsored link. Now, we make 7k.

Adblock usage has always been high on desktop, but the problem now is that users are using Adblock on their mobile devices as well, and our mobile site has feature parity with our app so there’s no point in using the app.

Our users trend young with more than 70% being under 25.

Currently we are only able to survive because our older members joined the subscription service as they aged out of the sub 25 age range. If we were starting this site today, it would be impossible. In fact, most of our completion is people who are hosting for “free” on Cloudflare before their site dies when they get forced to pay bandwidth bills.
I get your point, but I sort of disagree. Maybe "caring" in the abstract isn't the exact word for it, but I have friends who had 8, 10 or 11 mostly older siblings, and their parents definitely didn't give them as much thought or care as kids who had 0, 1 or 2 siblings. Like, they never coached a sports team, or helped with homework, or gave any impression that they were going to help pay for college, or attended school events. They kids basically on their own and partially raised by older siblings.
It’s still to be decided whether that’s illegal and the most likely outcome would be a switch to a fail safe approach: don’t detect an ad blocker, validate that the ad played. That’s not perfect of course but they have billions of dollars to fund it.

> for some reason, passes are cryptographically signed, and they have to be signed with a key known to one of Apple’s certificate authorities. Cryptographically signing these files makes some sense when you consider that passes were designed to get automatic updates from their vendors; for example, your boarding pass for a flight reflecting gate changes or changing your seat assignment.

How does this make sense? There’s a perfectly well supported system for doing this: HTTPS.

Maybe Apple wants passes to be verifiable by the phone offline instead of just when updated? This still seems silly — a malicious actor could replace a pass instead of updating it.

Could be. I saw more than 30+ massive logs and healthy piths in a back lot of the woods; stacked carefully before being removed; maple and oak. Given the level of local corruption, this forest management deserves the suspicion.

The city and the locality was recently accused of cutting down too many trees for numerous reasons/projects. Unless you are adamant, they are quite aggressive about killing things in parkways.

I think it would be better to leave things where they are in "Forest Preserves"... Maybe one day we'll have [unmanaged] old growth forests again.
News stories do contain citations, they just don’t follow the same format as Wikipedia. Whenever a news story says “according to a Gaza health ministry spokesman”, that’s a citation. Does it give you an original statement or document published by that spokesman? No, because traditionally these spokesmen don’t speak to the public; they speak to journalists. In some cases this isn’t true; you can watch or read transcripts of White House press conferences and it turns out clips of these press conferences are great for television, but the expectation is for journalists to intermediate between whats happening and the public.

Here’s an example of that sort of thing from the other side of the conflict. During the initial October 7 attacks, Hamas fighters captured a lot of video of what they were doing and some clips were posted to Twitter. Most of the clips were removed from Twitter for content moderation purposes, which is probably for the best because there are certain things I will never unsee. Israel managed to compile some of this footage and recently screened it for journalists. They’re not going to release the footage to the public, and while in principle I disagree with that, they have understandable reasons. Hamas was capturing and in some cases live streaming this footage to their own radicalized audiences with the purpose of radicalizing them even further, and making the footage public serves that goal. It also serves the purpose of literally spreading terror, just like beheading videos.

Now, sometimes these citations get very interesting. If you ever see the phrase, “according to sources within <x>”, these are anonymous sources. And you’re right, there’s absolutely no way to verify these anonymous sources. Supposedly, news sources will vet anonymous sources and agree to protect their identities, but to the cynical news reader, “according to sources within” doesn’t actually mean anything more than “just trust me bro”, and YMMV on whether or not you do, in fact, trust them, bro.

> I think there needs to be a journalistic standard put in place, and all news articles need to be held to that standard. Sort of like passing or failing a health inspection.

Any sort of government “health inspection” that could shut down a newspaper could easily be applied in an uneven and biased fashion, and would undermine the inherently adversarial relationship between a free press and the government. In some countries you could get away with it, and there would be no free press. In the United States we have the First Amendment.

Yes, the news media is backwards and untrustworthy, and they always have been. If you do a really good job at journalism, you get a prize named after a guy who published propaganda to incite the Spanish-American War. But the alternatives are even worse.

Surely if you support free speech you support consumers collectively expressing to brands who they would prefer they not do business with from a marketing perspective. If not preferring the actions of wealthy, power hungry monsters is not normal, I agree to not be normal.

Modern copyright law is so far behind the times and broken in more ways one can count. The only sensible way one can deal with it is to ignore it and keep their mouth shut.

Say for example, the Mistral AI approach. The released Mistral 7B and destroyed every other model in its class in performance while giving it a much less restrictive license. They gave zero info about what they trained on... and nobody is asking. A very smart move from both sides that benefits just about everyone.

The only winning move is not to play.

No it doesn’t. The vast majority of what is taught in a college C++ course would be either impossible or extremely difficult to do in rust. You couldn’t implement std::tuple or std::variant for instance.

The carbon docs never recommend rust, they just urge you to use something already available.
Can you easily debug stuff? Can you tail -f /var/fing/log and see what X or Y does not work (without introducing another container/whatever just for this) ? I know I am minority.. but whole concept This runs X and This runs Y but storage/data is over there having nothing to do with both X or Y is F'd up.

Yeah, you can easily pull and run things but you have no idea how or what it does and when things break whole idea is pull it again and run.

I have nothing against containers.. real system ones (LXC for example)
> How much would you be willing to pay for it (0 is a valid answer)

That's not a good question to ask developers. Most of them undervalue software (because they're capable of building it themselves) and will give you a "cup of coffee and a donut" $ figure, when the actual market might pay $100s or $1000s per month.
> don't think ten minutes ahead let alone decades

I have to say that given what adults are currently doing to the planet, I'm not convinced that they're capable of planning decades ahead or thinking of the best interests of their children either.

Like, I'm not thrilled to be the perpetual doomsayer of HN, but reading someone talking about decades into the future in the context of children really bums me out these days. As a child I really thought the adults would sort things out, but increasingly it just looks like doom, and that's hard to accept.

You could in theory create a tool/function like “Context Retrieval”, give it to an Agent, and instruct the Agent to paginate through it as needed. This would add some errors due to LLM usage and latency though.

And then of course you would still need to design the graph structure. Maybe neo4j or similar graph dbs would be useful? I have seen a langchain integration for instance: https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/providers/neo...

> That is why everybody attempts to push their modules into the kernel source.

> Those who cannot do that because their modules are not open source, like NVIDIA, have a lot of work to do for module maintenance.

Say someone gets a driver for a WiFi USB stick into the kernel source and leaves it for others to maintain. Wouldn't the maintainers need the hardware device for testing changes and an understanding of the hardware's quirks to keep the driver updated? Obviously the system works but I don't get how it doesn't suffer from software rot, especially when physical hardware is required for robust testing including testing the hardware against different motherboards.
Thanks for your question. You are right, current vision-language foundation models are quite heavy. However, for example in NLP there are some works on smaller foundation models. In addition, you could also use a foundational model to help train your smaller model or label more data.
