I tend to agree. This falls in the same realm as a fancy wedding versus a trip to a courthouse to get married. Some couples are fine with going to a courthouse, others will never accept it even if they have to borrow to accomplish it. When it comes to big weddings there is no such thing as a smart expense. Most couples would be better off by going to a judge to get married but that just can't be accepted by many. Diamonds are just another cost of getting married by most couples.
Chicago has named freeways (which they call expressways). The Kennedy, the Eisenhower, the Dan Ryan, the Stevenson, several others.
Most AI work will just be APIs provided by your cloud provider in less than 2 years. Understanding what's going on under the hood isn't going to be that common, maybe the AI equivalent of "use explain analyze, optimize indexes" will be what passes for (engineering, not scientist) AI expert around that time.
I guess I'm easily entertained...

Wow, ok, bring on the downvotes, cause I've got plenty of nice stuff to say about Open Interpreter. I came on here to voice some criticisms but since everyone else is already on that bandwagon, I'm switching teams!

I had a great experience with Open-Interpreter. Watching it work with GPT-4 as LLM vendor is nothing short of magical. In fact it was the closest thing I've ever seen to pure science fiction in my lifetime, esp since I hooked it up to a microphone and I was controlling it with voice. "Computer, bring up Hacker News. Summarize. Make it so.".

And it WORKS. Good times! That is a trivial exercise for GPT-4!

No, it's not going to brick your computer. You should know by now that GPT-4 is so well aligned at this point that it's yawn inducingly boring.

Before Autogen, before LlamaIndex, before LangChain, etc, Open Interpreter was the first thing to convince me that LLMs had a use beyond mere novelty -- that they could be the engine for useful agentic software robotics. Up until that point it was all theory, I had never seen it.

In fact, the paranoia that it could brick your system or extract information from your machine requires you to concede that it could generate and run code. Which it can -- except it in fact tries to be helpful. If you tell it to brick your computer, I doubt it would even comply.

My criticism comes not from Open-Interpreter but from the fact that there are many products like this that only work with GPT-4, and that's a shame.

But it was extremely inspiring to, rather than sit around and complain about it, get to work building some models and systems that can actually be used to do useful stuff and deliver on the automation promised, and it has become a sustainable small business model for me. So, thank you killianlucas, for inspiring me and making me a lot of money.

So put that in your pipe and downvote it.
Story I heard for that job was the city offered a $1M early completion bonus. The contractor that won the bid was confident they would beat the deadline and they underbid everyone by the $1M and got the job.

And, yes, they beat the deadline.

The city coped rather well with that whole situation.

It may be "more specific", but dangerously so: you should be critically thinking even about a curriculum book or what your teacher is saying.

Admittedly, some bad "critical thinking" leads to dumbness too: eg. I can't see Earth's curvature and I don't trust the book, so it must be flat.
This insightful analysis describes a natural tendency, but we don't have to leave communities to their own devices. Look at the various mechanisms incorporated into Slashdot, Wikipedia, and StackExchange to address these problems. Their design is what set them apart and above forums, whose quality was more sensitive to that of their moderators.

The next step is to devise mechanisms to counteract the decay. Does anyone know any literature on this subject? It could be about physical expert communities.

This was a fun one to think about. The secret is in where this link is posted. I was thinking through domain name verification and realized that if employers trust LinkedIn, and you can put this link onto your LinkedIn, it inherits that trust.

So basically, if you link it on your resume/LinkedIn, then the consumer of your AI profile should be able to have the same base level of trust in it.

As for the candidate themselves lying, well, you can always do that. In this case, you can actually verify it better than just having to trust a candidate in the moment in an interview. I see these interactive profiles as a way to actually build more trust and credibility between people by giving everyone more to cross-reference.

The candidate gets to be remembered and have the details of their skills and accomplishments shown, the employers get to select with more precision and make valuable interview time even more value dense by having a better/more informed starting point.

> younger generations do not watch older content

Care to quantify that? It's not 0%.

Even 1% of view time thrown at older content is a lot of hours.

Americans watch something like 1.5 billion hours of video per day when we combine TV and internet.

If we look at the broadcast channels in the US, and estimate they put out 20 hours of shows on the average day, then a historic archive 70 years deep would have half a million hours of video.

If one tenth of one percent of view time went to old broadcast shows in particular, then that's 3x the archive size daily and 1000x the archive size yearly.

And all the standard definition content combined would be well under a petabyte.
At this point millions of people have probably visited that page, red flagging them all would just render the flag as useless.
I like buying ice. I hope one day the prices fall low enough such that a diamond necklace costs the same as a tennis bracelet does now.
The point is that the problem is this: Experts want to provide material for newcomers. Newcomers don’t want to read the material. Using specially crafted material by the experts with an LLM can provide a way of delivering the expert knowledge to the newcomers in a format they can readily consume. Thus keeping the newcomers from flooding the forums with the same old basic questions over and over again.
Because the marketing goal of the diamond industry is to convince buyers that the amount of money you spent indicates how much you love your spouse.
I and most of my friends (late 20s to early 30s) have non-diamond engagement rings. The consensus is that diamonds are outdated, exploitative, and scammy. I also think they’re not as pretty/eye-catching as my lab-grown emerald.

Nah, MLPerf is legit. I was skeptical of it too, but wanted to leave a quick note (I have to run) that they’re solid. I’d be the first to call it out if it was pointless or misleading, but it turns out to be the only way to get a true idea of comparisons across different hardware. It forces everyone to achieve the same goal, which is key; otherwise you’re left with a bunch of slight (and large) variations that tell you nothing about achieving the actual goal, which is all you care about.

It’s a bit like a shared space race. Getting that top-N accuracy to 74 point yada yada percent in 37 seconds on a certain resnet architecture tells you that you can do the same thing on that hardware, which means you can do your own things just as quickly. So it’s a worthwhile time investment. If you force everyone to get that same accuracy with the same model arch, you can make informed decisions, which is especially important when throwing millions of VC dollars around.

EDIT: Sorry, I completely misread you.

It’s difficult to quantify what you’d like to measure: the bottom line price of who is cheaper for your expected workload. There are immense trade offs, not least of which is time spent learning a particular (esoteric) stack. CUDA knowledge doesn’t port to JAX and vice-versa.

Prices are always changing, and you can usually work out a deal with the sales team to get lower than advertised. Especially if they want you to choose them instead of some competitor. So in general it’s hard to figure out what you can expect for production workloads in terms of total dev cost vs price vs speed.

I will say that as a researcher, there’s no substitute for fast iteration cycles. I’m one of the few who believe in scaling down your models as much as possible when testing experimental ideas, precisely because you can try 30 runs instead of 3. So all else being equal, I’d take speed.

But all else isn’t equal. The only thing I want nowadays is free plus stable. It’s looking like a 4090 might be the way to get that, which is enough to try out some interesting ideas.
I think it's a fun idea worth exploring.

> You've put forth an utter straw man. I am rationally against making government verification of identity stronger precisely because the existing identity systems have been pervasively abused with essentially no recourse.

There's absolutely no straw man. Among other reasons, things like this are exactly why there is opposition in some segments.

You've literally argued "You're making a strawman by describing what I think!" You're against it because overreach and abuse. I say a segment is against it because of reasons including that. Maybe less of a hair trigger is needed.
> Where possible, default to defining style and behaviour with inline HTML attributes

Something tells me this is employee code for "We're going to break longstanding, vital features wasting our customers' time and hinder their productivity in order to look good on our performance reviews so we can push our coders with a crash schedule / keep our jobs at the expense of our customers."
I'm speaking from experience on a pretty wide variety of commercial web projects. Been building websites for twenty years. Frankly, it's not even a close competition. What I've found is that a lot of teams don't even track their time, so it's likely many developers don't realize how large the React penalty is. I would encourage devs to spike on both approaches and do a thorough accounting of their time.

Loki was absolutely incomprehensible but between the emotive acting and good production (both the practical effects-looking retro sets and the musical score) it made the show probably the best Disney+ content besides Andor, imo. The finale is surprisingly effective, and affecting.

Someone on Twitter likened Loki to a really expensive version of Doctor Who, and based on what little I know of that show, I can see that. The cosmic time-jumping sci-fi plot is all nonsense and ancillary to the characters, who are elevated (more than the show deserves) by the talent.

It also reminded me of Terry Pratchett novels, which usually devolve for me into arbitrary magical/fantasy illogic three quarters of the way through deus ex machina style, but the strong characterization, the concepts, and the comedy salvages it.

> Stage 3: […] seasoned members develop lengthy FAQs and create strict, multi-page posting guidelines.

Yeah... Old times... We did just that on our forum. But it was worse than that. There were several subforums and each one had its own guideline and a couple of FAQs. When I think of it now I can't believe how stupid we were.

We scrapped them eventually (after five years or so), but it was too late. Though I do not think it was the reason why forum died. Just world had changed.

> Schisms and purges within the administrator community commonly happen at this point, too.

It was more fun for us. We had a very agnostic administrator. So being moderators we fought wars, banned each other, and then appealed to the admin. We lived through three "wars of moderators". I was banned for month in one of them. And at one point I banned another moderator.

It was so much fun. I can't find such a place today. People are too serious about their precious communities.

The H100 costs 10x on AWS compared to the TPUv5e on GCP. And it is apparently 5x faster in GPT training. Which makes the headline sort of backwards.
It's extremely hard to evolve anything significant in a single
generation. History of science shows things take thousands of years. What speed up we get from tech and tools hides how unfit our own brains are for many problems people think they can handle. Theory of Bounded Rationality goes into it quite well.

Also the Explore - Exploit tradeoff applies here. Depending on the type of Problems the group is solving different members are in explore or exploit mode. Some problems you need a whole lot of explorers and for others you don't.

Welcoming anyone and everyone into a group without awareness of the current groups composition, what mode individuals are in, and what the real problems being solved are, is like watching what happens to a theatre company after they have finished a long run of a particular play.

Currently the US government holds 8,134 metric tons of gold in reserves. You can call it "hording" (whatever that means) but clearly someone thinks it's worth keeping half a trillion dollars worth of the country's money in it.
This looks like a great deal and makes me regret my recent laptop purchase :/ Bit of a bummer because I rarely use and upgrade them.

At least now I know where to look for the next one, especially in Germany where it's annoyingly difficult to get a US QWERTY kb.
Gold is somehow universally adored by humans. It’s not just the Indians, different, unconnected civilizations throughout history have given it a vaunted status in their society completely independently. Hence it is pragmatically a good store of value because it taps into a universal, instinctual appreciation for it.
I guess if they are desperate to get married they do whatever. Of they can discuss expectations at the beginning of the relationship like they do with other goals (i.e. kids or no kids).

Resumes are not the issue. Frankly the focus on resume writing is nonsense, and seemingly a grift.

What matters in a resume is: Employer name, Your title, brief description of what you did in bullet points.

It does NOT need to use the STAR format.
What keeps me coming back to HN is the value of the comments. When people actually add insight, whatever the quality of the article highlighted almost becomes secondary in value.

That's why I recommend upvoting valuable comment "TIL", and actively sending down the yolo/kneejerks/meh/me2 comments that don't add value/different perspective, to keep the comment section valuable for the next gal/guy. If I don't agree, I tend to leave it alone... I value someone not agreeing if they have a point and bring a different perspective.

It's ok to disagree, but always attack the argument, not the person! That's a healthy debate.

It seriously makes me wish people would just publish vulnerabilities straight up complete with exploit source code so they'd have literally no choice but to care.

In my experience highly technical people can be among the worst when it comes to working with radically new tech. I’m sure there is a similar effect for other fields and new developments there.

But once one becomes known as knowledgeable and skilled in their domain, I think there is fear/concern over their image when it comes to the new thing. If they are going to try the new thing, they have to make sure they do it perfectly and as a result they’ll end up relying on the best practices others discover, or alternatively put down the new tech explaining why it actually isn’t good.

Meanwhile you have completely un-tech savvy folks who are using it for all sorts of cool stuff because they are just playing around and trying things out.

Honestly one of my big aims in life is to never fear being the noob and asking stupid questions and just trying things out.

I can't actually name anything current, but I do have some insight from my days of editing uncompressed pdfs (in a old windows environment since a lot of other tools were for windows - and not that I can read pdf format any more) which was more than 5 years ago, about the last was a singular pdf back in 2015.

Depending on size of the pdf, you will want memory efficient software or those that have a trick to handle large files, especially doing large sections of find and replace - which depending on what you want to do, that might be the real test.

I know I tried what I could and ended with about four different editors depending on what action I was undertaking. I no longer recall what hex editor I used for simple find and replace and can't recall the singular one that actually worked with half page find and replace text - it may have been ultraedit.
I like to think of myself as an average moviegoer, and I have no interest in seeing this film because of a) superhero fatigue (I know exactly what's going to happen) b) these characters aren't interesting, and c) there's too much MCU shit out there that I'm not going to catch up on as a prerequisite.

I did recently beat the new Spider-Man PS5 game, and it was a great time. There were interesting twists on the story, characters I cared about, and the interactivity of it sets it apart from yet another film.
