I'm sorry, what breakthrough feature did we see here?

- Code interpreter, function calling were already possible on any sufficiently advanced LLM that could follow instructions well enough to output tokens in a rigidly parseable format, which could then be fed into a parser, and its output fed back to the LLM. It was clunky to do with online APIs like ChatGPT, but still eminently possible.

- Custom chatbots were easy to build before, and services to build them (like Poe.com) existed before.

- Likewise outputting JSON just requires a good instruction following AI, that can output token probabilities, along with a schema validator that always picks a token that results in schema-conforming JSON

- GPT4-128k seems to be revolutionary, but Claude-100k already existed, and considering LLM evaluation is quadratic wrt context size, they are probably using some tricks to extend the context, they are not 'full' tokens (I'd be happy to be proven wrong). While having a huge context is useful, for coding, a 8k context can be enough with some elbow grease (like filling the context with a 2-3 deep recursive 'Go To Definition' for a given symbol), so that the AI receives the right context.

- Dall-E 3 seems to be the most revolutionary, but after playing with it, it has much improved compositional ability over SD, but it's still prone to breakdowns

Overall I feel like todays announcements were polish and refinement over last year's bombshell breakthroughs.
I worked at Nest for a bit and we moved into the buildings below the hallowed Xerox PARC building. One of my absolute joys was making the winding trek up the hill just to meander outside the building and take in its architecture and history.

It’s strange to think of an organization whose essential imperative is “make money” as being something to consider in some sort of wider sociological, historical or even artistic context, but these places _were_ very important and some of them even harbor beauty.
This is a prediction that there will be zero surprises. An obvious prediction to make, but probably wrong.
Not to discount the questions and dangers surrounding advancements in AI, but the internet has always been full of convincing bullshit. I think it's a good thing that more people than ever are becoming habitually skeptical of what they see online.
When you talk about the MC building at UW, you have to mention the Red Room. see https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/40th/images/img039.jpg and https://ist.uwaterloo.ca/cs/redroom/

The central core of the first floor of the building was for the mainframes and supporting gear in the Red Room. The second floor had windows which let people look down on the mainframes and the priests tending the electronic behemoths.

the Red Room definitely had a Stanley Kubrick The Shining vibe to it.
Booking.com has been working amazing for me. For single room, 1-2 people, it's been flawless over probably 100 bookings or more over the last few years.

Short term I always use booking since it's less hassle than AirBnB.
The StrongLifts program, while still pretty good, is not for absolute beginners. The app and the website has videos and detailed instructions, but that doesn't replace a human coach being able to point out in real time mistakes in your form that you do not even realize. And if you are a beginner, any attempt to do these exercises will invariably contain so many mistakes that they are not worth doing any more.

Just find a human coach. An app is not a substitute.

It sure looks to me like "Some guy" got the "random speculation" right in this case.

The link shows the BE200 as the "M.2: PCIe*, USB" type in the highlighted Intel Ark screenshot. In contrast to the "WinModem" version you're conflating this with, which should say "M.2: CNVio2" (or similar) like the AX210 and AX211 pair.

BE200: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/230078/...

AX210: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/204836/...

AX211: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/204837/...

The BE200 should be like the AX210. The "WinModem" variant should be BE201 like the AX211.

Edit: I guess I should say that I don't know if "may be locked via Firmware" is a reasonable conclusion, just that the correlation is present, and the assumption of interface compatibility (given an M.2 slot with PCIe and USB).
What a time to be alive. Again.
If using bash in vi mode instead of emacs mode: ESC v.

zsh starts minimal, so one needs the following for such a feature to be operational:

bindkey "^X^E" edit-command-line
# bash-like vi mode shortcut
bindkey -M vicmd v edit-command-line
I am currently reading the introductory books of AOPS as I did not do well in high school math. I did not find the way my teacher taught math interesting because it didn't connect with real-world applications. The hardest thing I face as a 21-year-old going through the middle and high school math books is accepting that I lack the foundational knowledge and setting my ego aside. My plan is to learn calculus and linear algebra as a follow-up.
This shouldn’t be too difficult, the api allows writing such a tool and with the „assistant API“ it should hopefully be able to put attention on the right parts…

Good point, and I do think it was important context to have in the article. I think having the specific number of kilometers in the headline was what really threw me off.

I know the fence is there not to be torn down. It’d just be a better story (to tell others) if the fence actually had a purpose that could be revealed, so the listener could finally understand the value of the fence, and therefore the value of the approach of not tearing it down without understanding its purpose.
Can we please get rid of these shit quality bot comments?

This reply is obviously generated by an AI. You can tell from the fact that the summary is shit (you're better off reading the abstract of the article), and that it was posted 2 minutes after the link. There is no way a human can read the article in two minutes (just typing the 140 words in the comment would take must people over 1 minute).

edit:
I realize now that the commenter was the same user that submitted the link, so maybe they're not a bot and they simply pre-prepared their comment. Still, I think the summary was quite bad, and it's also unneeded, since the posted article has a perfectly serviceable abstract right at the top.

Just let your submission speak for itself! Providing a tl;dr as a first comment just encourages people to comment without reading the actual article.
No, it is not. For a hobbyist it is overkill, for a professional it might require filling out some TPS reports.
A commit is not a method, it is a change set potentially affecting many files. Pointing people to the commit used to implement feature A lets them understand the whole story of which components need to change (and how) to implement similar feature B in a way that pointing them to a single method or file doesn't necessarily can.

You would then typically supplement reading the commit with reading the current version of the affected code, but looking at the commit points you in the direction of the files and methods you need to look at.
Bit strange really that you can go and break contracts(leases) and then continue operating afterwards. Surely the outstanding leases should be paid in full... And only after that you be allowed to continue...
Look wistfully back at its glory days?
I don’t know about that, since when it’s needed to be the hard-core tech supplier to succeed with customers?

The ones that will die will die regardless if openAI introduce the feature.

Just because OpenAI provided a method to do something doesn’t mean that they provided the best user experience.

IMHO there would be another land grab where the customers wouldn’t care if something is run by OpenAI and if they could have done the same through the ChatGPT.

Those who actually created a product that customers are willing to pay might actually end up just switching LLM suppliers.
Critical vulnerability in Atlassian Confluence server under "mass exploitation"
In the UX community it is indeed very funny to see AirBNB talk so much about their amazing UX, yet the app is very hard to use compared to something ugly and simple like booking.com. It looks good but it is a nightmare to use.

They change things around a lot, and sometimes they fix one issue, but then add another issue for no reason. I've ended up booking the wrong thing so many times - and even once would be too much for a good user interface design.

My latest pet peeve is that while you can filter by "instant book only" there is no indication anywhere on the UI whether or not a location is instant book. I always book last minute, and places that don't instantly book are basically useless to me - too much drama as to whether or not the host accepts my booking. 24 hour period where I have no idea if I have a place to stay - but I already paid and my money is locked up.

It seems it would be important to know. And they used to have an instant book icon on listings that offered it.

The wording on the booking button is also ambiguous. It says "reserve now" - sometimes this means you can make a booking, other times it means AirBnB will take the cash off your card but you will have to wait 24 hours before you know whether or not you actually reserved anything.

And there's other things also... the UI is dirt poor and we only use it because for long stays when I want a washing machine and so on, sometimes these AirBnBs are literally 10x better than a comparable hotel - it works, in other words, thanks to amazing hosts - no thanks to the poor software.
Funny, just today I had a reason to run a very old piece of software, designed around punch card input:

https://lss.fnal.gov/archive/nal/fermilab-nal-091.pdf

The input is now textual, but you still have to write “SENTINEL\nSENTINEL” at the end of the file so that it knows there are no more cards coming, for instance.
What on earth is fair use about a public company deriving its whole valuation from the processing of content taken from the internet without any regard for licensing, or robots.txt rules??

The technology is cool, I get it. But saying ”I don’t mind, they can use my content“ is on par with ”I don’t need privacy, I have nothing to hide“ in terms of statement quality.
This is true. It is scary that it all depends on one man.

The pandemic thing was more of a mistake then it was an act of evil.

China was successful in basically completely eliminating the spread of covid in a way the US was completely incapable of doing. I don't know if you recall people in the US dying of covid like flies in the US while China remaining relatively covid free due to it's ability to use centralized control to basically stop the spread of the disease in its tracks.

What China wanted to do was to essentially use those same methods to stop a secondary resurgence but this obviously was not as successful. The second wave was different from the first and China misjudged that. The extreme methods applied on the first wave were no longer applicable to the second wave and that was a mistake on Chinas part.

If China lead the world then there would be significantly less deaths from the first wave of covid and significantly more deaths on the second wave of covid. The opposite is true for the US, significantly more deaths on the first wave of covid and less deaths on the second wave. You worry, but the world is too complex to give you a clear topic to actually be worried about. It's easier to simplify China as the one that's wrong and stay worried about the simple thing.

100 Little Ideas
I think "U" is probably for UNCOVER where that is "Ultradeep Nirspec and nirCam ObserVations before the Epoch of Reionization".
https://www.astro.princeton.edu/~goulding/research_uncover.h... may have some naming-scheme details I missed glancing through the two papers linked there (and the earlier JWST UNCOVER Treasury Survey <https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.04026>), or someone might eventually be brave and ask him or one of his collaborators directly. :-)

I think z ~ 10 is technically an ultra-high redshift galaxy. Table 2 in the "Treasury Survey" above predicts observations of tens of galaxies z > 12, when the universe at large is much more likely to be entirely electrically neutral (~ 10 is in the epoch of reionization, more or less). But please come back with "heroic" spectra from z ~ 15-30 (thinking of the linked article at the top with respect to direct-collapse black holes, Pop III, Lyman-Werner radiation, etc etc), or hey GW spectra from z > 10^10 - 10^30 (beyond scope of topic).
I typically scan the domain before even reading the title.

For family trips it is unbeatable. Big drama and big $$$ to book 2 connecting rooms in a normal hotel, and the experience is much worse than just getting a nice apartment with kitchen, 2 or 3 rooms, washing machine, etc.

Moonlight is actually a very important influence in many natural cycles, all of which would be disrupted.

That was an amazing achievement, treating something like 10,000 dogs a year for 15 years! Now that the initiative has ended I hope that some form it continues since maintaining a sterilized and vaccinated population will be a lot easier and less expensive than waiting until things get out of hand again. Outsiders wandering in and escaped pets turned strays have the potential to undo much of their great work.
I'm pretty sure I've left comments on a commit before in a GitHub PR. The comment just goes in the right place in the PR diff, assuming no changes, or comments can actually be attached to commits themselves (which is what happens when a comment becomes stale—it retains a reference to the original commit).
I'd love to join to help out in the support group, but Discord decided a while ago that something about my e-mail, phone number, browser, or IP is something they don't like and instabans me 10 seconds after signup. The most nafarious thing I did was deleting my account a while back. Go figure.
Not saying you are wrong but the comment is from the OP, who, I'd hope, read the article before posting. They could have easily read it, typed up the comment and then posted.
There are many of these startups you described and there are also many companies with years of work joining the graveyard. It’s not black and white.
Yes. I love AirBnB and the service it offers.

I just like to make fun of the app now and then, because it is overhyped and relatively poor at doing its job. But yeah it could be worse, I would give that app 7 stars out of 10, even though it's driving me crazy at times, and I've cursed it for making me wait 24 hours for the host to accept a booking when I booked for the next day.... thanks to instant book being obscured and not shown on the UI.

I sure hope this carrot thrown down to the masses is not going to slow down open models development.

When the deal looks too good to be true. You're not a customer. You're a product/a resource to mine. In case of (not-at-all)OpenAI this is doing two things. Killing competition by running their services below costs(this used to be illegal even in the USA) and gathering massive amounts of human generated question/ranking data. I'm not sure about others, but I'm getting quite a few of these "which answer is better" prompts.

Why do I hope for the continued progress in open models even if this is so much more powerful/cheap to run? Because when you're not a customer, but a product the inevitable enshittification of the service always ensues.
I don't remember thar it was possible to select House / class. Was it? It is 23 years go so ...
Asia has 4.5 billion humans. So that works out around 15 persons per dog. Seems quite spot-on given that these dogs will eat on leftovers and whatever humans throw to them. I wonder if they derived the number that way (highly doubt they are id-ing all these dogs).
You could probalby build a dot com bubble graveyard, an app store graveyard, and a web3 graveyard. Hype cycles all look the same and only very few winners come out of it.
The first line of the commit message isn't about including information that couldn't be gleaned from the commit. That can be done in subsequent lines. The first line is for two purposes:

* Priming the reader so they are able to quickly interpret what they're seeing when they open the commit.

* Making it easy to search or scan for a specific change.

The last commit message in my example would probably have included the name of the feature as well as the ticket number, but I couldn't be bothered to invent an actual feature name.

DRY doesn't really apply to technical writing, at least not as extremely as you seem to think it should. Headings are supposed to summarize the contents, and that's what commit messages are: headings.
They also run an RAG implementation for you, and there's probably some value in the store if it can surface high quality apps and have a good rating system. But basically, yeah. This is a complete replacement for every startup that was just a thin wrapper around the API - instead of being real startups those concepts will just be "GPTs" on the "GPT Store". I don't know how realistic or viable their solution is, but the sea of thin wrapper startups was never viable and everyone knew it.
Fair point, I just realized that myself and edited my comment accordingly.
I mean as long as they don't start again too late it should be fine, right? For now, if they catch a dog the chances are high its already treated. So the return of reward is comparably low. Once the unvaccinated/unsterilized population has grown again, it makes sense again to get active. The point would be to not restart again too late.
I had a pair of white Denon Wireless Earbuds that I tried to sell on Facebook Marketplace, still in shrink and with my own photos. They were kicked off as counterfeit items, presumably because I described them as knockoff Air Pods and that triggered some filter. I wonder if Apple is also coaching classified ad sides with the same trademark messaging they're giving CBP?
> In the first situation from the article, the products seized by the CBP only included Apple branding on internal components which were created by Apple and not modified.

But they aren't "internal components", because they aren't inside anything. There were Apple logos on a display assembly which was not manufactured for Apple and which, I suspect, were not otherwise labelled as being a non-genuine part.

Under that suspicion - at import, there would be no indication these parts weren't meant to be sold to other third party repair shops as genuine Apple display assemblies.

Since Jessa Jones had two shipments seized back in 2018 there hasn't been any news that I know of updating on an appeal or lawsuit, or of any other seizures on her imports.

It's impossible for someone to be skeptical of everything. People pick and choose what to trust based off of available superficial information.

This superficial information is becoming harder and harder to interpret. If you follow the trendline we will approach a world where will skeptical of every single thing you see on the internet with no way of verifying the truth.

For example, I told an AI to write this for me. And I also told the AI to insert some common spelling mistakes and grammatical mistakes to make it look real. Then I told the AI to lie to the best of it's ability and say something untrue and manipulative.

you are reading the output of what that AI wrote right now.

It's sad. If the world of software had better coordination and cooperation, we would be able to get so much more done. Instead we're constantly dumping and re-parsing the same data, re-implementing the same protocols and algorithms in dozens of different languages, each time with different quirks. Fixing the same bugs again and again.
> As for OnePlus; that one never made any sense and probably embarrassed Apple too because… it’s not like Walmart has had any problem selling AirPods knockoffs.

As it was one shipment rather than the product line, and since CBP confirmed that they had not made a mistake, I suspect something was up with that shipment in particular.
It seems to me that we have already lost most of our epistemic trust. Some people blame the troll farms, AI bots and baseless accusations of fake news. Others blame biased fact checkers, politicized media and philosophical relativism. And these groups blame each other.
