They will not have to work with relativistic effects. Nobody is going to fly faster than 0.1C. It is prohibitively expensive energy-wise and there is no point of doing that. Just accelerate to 0.01C, and arrive at the neighbouring system in 400 years. 400 years is a blink of eye, anyway.
Banks aren't a monopoly and are still dangerous. Also the apple app store is a "hard" monopoly, while Google's is a soft one, but Google still holds a bulk of the power despite major competitors.

Also not all monopolies are dangerous or evil, e.g. Steam.

True crypto does exist.

Bitcoin is true crypto.

When I mine Bitcoin, and I use that Bitcoin to buy something from someone else, that is true crypto.

When I sell something for Bitcoin, that is true crypto.

When I exchange fiat for Bitcoin at a centralized exchange, and I successfully withdraw it to a self-custody wallet. That is acceptably close to true crypto.

Same goes for Monero.

Do any github.io pages load for you? Might be that they got reports of a github.io page being used to link to malware, and decided to block the entire domain.
Yes. Yi-34b is competitive with Llama2-70b which is often competitive with gpt 3.5. GPT-4 is on its own level atm but the point is that China has already created a good model that effectively beats Meta's current best.
Nobody claimed otherwise?

Disconcerting, like returning to someone's comment, and it's subtly different from how you remembered (before you knew of the recent editing feature).

Most (all?) scientific ideas are simplifications. e.g. that species are separate. That the relationships between species can be represented by a tree.

Yes, it used to be taught that genes don't change. But there's methylation and telomeres and "gene therapy" is a thing. I agree that changing gene expression sounds like sophistry, since the point of genes is their effect. Sounds like Lamarckism to me.

Everything you've been taught is wrong - in that however thoroughly something is known, there's always more to it.
Very unusual comment.

I do not think so as the chance of constructing a fleshy eldritch horror is quite high.

> The board only needs to prove to a judge they believed firing Sam would benefit the charter, and the leaks from their camp have stated as much.

Leaks say whatever they want to say and if I found myself in this position - highly unlikely - and I would have leaked something it would have definitely been something to make me look good. Or did you think that if it made them look bad that it would have been leaked as well? In that case I can see your point.
wow that is one stuck up bitch of an AI
> Why hasn’t another cloud platform stepped up for similar deals for GPT v5? It’s all been fairly obvious IMO

Well Microsoft could have contracted in some sort of exclusivity. Barring that, I think the obvious answer is because the leftovers aren’t that valuable.

Microsoft got 49%, and full access to all models, and most profits. The remaining profits and access to the same models as your competitors isn’t worth it.

Most big companies are making their LLMs, and I’ll postulate that while the tech is amazing, it’s not going to be the future where you need the One True Model. Google seems to be doing well enough with their models, Meta released pretty good models for free, Salesforce and Amazon are building out models, even smaller companies like Databricks got into the hype. Then with slowly opening access to models from Anthropic and other startups, GPT5+ alone isn’t worth it. Oracle maybe could buy access, but are they willing to outbid Microsoft?

The only thing that could be worth it is the ability to run/own ChatGPT the consumer product and brand. And who would own that? Google has their own, Apple wouldn’t want it, Meta probably can’t buy it without government intervention, Salesforce maybe, but they’re not consumer focused. Amazon maybe? Oracle maybe, but same problem as Salesforce?
Not at all. My children aren't on the path to becoming more capable than humanity. If my children are violent criminals I expect human civilization will be able to handle them. I don't have that expectation for AI.

This type of game design 100% still exists. FromSoftware is probably the best current example, but it's also prevelant in so many indie games.
I'm a paying user so I can't speak about the free Spotify experience, but..

Spotify will only repeat a song during shuffle if you also activate repeat. It will also repeat a song if you actually added the song twice or more to said playlist. You can try it out by shuffling a playlist+deactivate repeat then check which songs have been queued from start to finish.

Smart Shuffle -despite the name- is more a playlist function than a shuffle function. It's like the Radio playlists but with the songs interspersed temporarily in your own playlist. Note that these songs were not already in your playlist - so they do not repeat unless you activate repeat.
Ask HN: How do you use your computer intentionally/deliberately?
Currently I'm trying to sort out my life, partially with meditation, partially with thinking/writing and partially with some reading. Computer is pretty helpful for the latter two but I also end up using it a lot to watch anime or spend time on discord. I don't mind this - if I don't relax with the internet I'll end up messing around some other way naturally.

But it bothers me how little awareness I have while using my computer. A lot of times I'll be doing something like using twitter and I won't even be enjoying it - I'm just trying to burn time. If I snapped out of it and checked in with myself for 20 seconds, I bet at least half the time I could find something I'd both enjoy doing more and that's marginally useful. But it's really hard to do this without just blocking most of the internet and I don't want to do that.

What do you guys do to deal with your computer useage?

And the crazy part is, even if MS “steals” the whole IP and then spends 10Bn (that’s a number longer than my phone number, btw) in defending the theft in court with legal shenanigans, they STILL come out ahead compared to buying OpenAI right away.

Default to speed and then the first time a device has crashed "your battery has worn to a level that we will have to start slowing down your device or it will keep crashing, will you accept these crashes or slow your device?"

That would be transparent and also allow decisions, if AppleCare also allowed for free battery replacement after receiving that message it would be a PR boon, not a kerfuffle.

To provide some additional context and clarifying points that I see in the lower comments:

>> Regarding financial incentives:

Google is an insanely large organization, and the priorities and KPIs of one org (Chrome) largely don't impact another org (YouTube).

Additionally, YouTube is a regarded as a red-headed step-child within Google and is generally outside of the general interactions with other orgs.

That's based on years of working on that fine line.

>> Regarding Useragent Targeting:

The targeting scheme treats the useragent as a string, rather than a distinct value that the useragent is set to. Chrome is likely to hit this bug as much as any other browser vendor.
Seems relatively unimpressive tbh - it's not really a video, and we've seen this kind of thing for a few months now
Because you're dealing with humans and sometimes humans don't behave in the same way you apparently expect everyone to? These aren't massive billion dollar corps they're some engineer or group of engineers doing something interesting to them.

In this case it seems related to a university, so these are students and researchers at a university. Some of them are very likely qualifiable as kids to us old people.

Not sure why it's such a bother to you, does a topic need to be cold and black and white for it to further our technological research? (That's hypothetical because this repo, for instance, absolutely furthers our tech abilities while also being in a more friendly non-academic format.)
crushes? sarcasm? Free Vicuna is 90% as good as the 100 Billion Dollar company made one. This makes my point.

And between Vicuna and GPT4-Turbo There are the Claude Models and WizardML. This is as even playing field as i've ever seen for the tech world.

When a $100B company gets to 2000, and the rest stay behind, thats when we know the tech has changed. Thats what OpenAI was hiring for. Not for anything they already gave Microsoft access to

If Microsoft wanted to get to 1100, they could do that with 50 smart hires from across the industry and universities. They don't need Sams teams $1M salaries for that
Those scripts aren't as easy to use or iterate upon since they are CLI apps instead of a REPL like a Colab/Jupyter Notebook (although these models probably will not run in a normal Colab without shenanigans).

They can be hacked into a Jupyter Notebook but it's really not fun.
If I sent out completely truthful CVs, I'd still be working a $15/hr data entry job or whatever.

Obviously you can't fake it forever if you don't have the skills to back it up, but the reason people lie and embellish on CVs is because they know they are reasonably fast learners, so any skills mismatch can be quickly adjusted while on the job. Easier to ask for forgiveness than permission, etc. etc.

This pretty much became a necessity since ~2005, when IT demand skyrocketed and became mainstream and automatic candidate rejection and filtering became pervasive
> 7. Goodness in some areas atones for evil in others… we are burning up the planet for the next generation but how about that iPhone 15, dick rockets into space, and those massive F350s!

This is not what that point means. “Goodness” isn’t referring to cool shit. It’s referring to doing good things.

Someone buys an F350 but then “offsets it” by donating money to a climate activist charity.
It's almost certainly easier than making an ad-blocker-blocker that works for a reasonable amount of time.

This is a lot of jumping up and down over nothing.

Think about it when the deal was on the table:

1) Take the money. If OpenAI fail, MS get the code. OK, who cares, OpenAI have gone bust.

2) Don't take the money, don't become successful unless they can find another partner with such a good fit (deep pockets and resources).

It made sense to allow MS to have the code if OpenAI failed since they'd have had nothing to lose apart from whatever residual value they could sell their IP for (which they already were effectively doing for $10B, so fair enough). If this was a sticking point to secure a $10B investment, it made sense. OTOH if they granted the IP to MS not contingent on OpenAI failing, then that would have been sheer incompetence.
> the company deliberately kept its stake at 49%, likely to sidestep antitrust concerns.

And yet a “Person of Significant Control” in UK corps would need only a 25% share (or voting rights), OR be deemed to have “significant influence”.

I think it is odd that the story mentions git at all. Git5, the mentioned wrapper around piper, has only a niche audience when I last used it 5 years ago, and it was a demonstrated fact that the users of it were less productive than perforce users. Whether that was causal or not was unknown.
> I do not think so as the chance of constructing a fleshy eldritch horror is quite high.

There is a market for everything!
I was just thinking about something like this.

I'm not sure you'd actually need to have physical coupling from the train to the platform. Train lavatories used to just dump their contents out of the track. Given that tube trains are already required to stop at a very precise location on the platform, perhaps the hot water could just be dumped into a funnel built into the ground underneath the track beneath the rails.

Getting cold water onto the train would be harder. Perhaps a big funnel on the top of the train underneath a pipe? ;)
If they say anything other than "he gave two people at OpenAI the same project and he gave two board members different opinions about a member of personnel" then they're admitting they lied 24 hours ago. If they double down on that explanation after being openly challenged by the CEO then the whole world will know they're lying now.
As you can see - the parser/serializer I've developed uses the minimal possible memory allocations. Nice parser though.
There's a lot that could be said about how an "anxiety" diagnosis is abused by doctors and insurance companies (especially against women), but in the end it really boils down to one thing:

I assume Microsoft will countersue with their own interpretation of the contract. However baloney that is, they only have to drag the case along until the former shell of OpenAI runs out of money and gives up the ghost. They could spend $10Bn on this and still come out ahead compared to buying OpenAI at market rate.

My first thought in this context was this is a 9th grade math problem, not programming. If the problem relating it has to do with how a computer can do it - do they not allow calculator use anymore?

I can not imagine that schooling has gone so far backwards with so many advances, or at the least I really hope that it has not. I was not even in advanced math courses and was/am average at best when it comes to math and would have thought the confusion would happen when getting to something like:

x = "hello"
y = "world!"
z = x + " " + y

where it stops looking like something your entry level high school math class has you doing 30 odd problems a day on.
Fascinating leap forward.

It makes me think of the difference between ancestral and non-ancestral samplers, e.g. Euler vs Euler Ancestral. With Euler, the output is somewhat deterministic and doesn't vary with increasing sampling steps, but with Ancestral, noise is added to each step which creates more variety but is more random/stochastic.

I assume to create video, the sampler needs to lean heavily on the previous frame while injecting some kind of sub-prompt, like rotate <object> to the left by 5 degrees, etc. I like the phrase another commenter used, "temporal consistency".

Edit: Indeed the special sauce is "temporal layers". [0]

Ask HN: How do you cope with the Rapid Pace of AI/ML?
I'm grappling with the challenge of keeping up in the fast-paced AI/ML field. It feels like there's a new breakthrough or technique to learn daily, and I'm worried about falling behind.

How do you manage to stay informed without getting overwhelmed? Are there specific strategies or resources you use to filter information and focus on what's most important?
I admit I'm ignorant about these model's inner workings, but I don't understand why text is the chosen input format for these models.

It was the same for image generation, where one needed to produce text prompts to create the image, and stuff like img2img and Controlnet that allowed things like controlling poses and inpainting, or having multiple prompts with masks controlling which part of the image is influenced by which prompt.
I don’t spend a lot of time keeping up with the space, but I could have sworn I’ve seen a demo that allowed you to iterate in the way you’re suggesting. Maybe someone else can link it.
100x faster than Linux is certainly fast. IIRC, Linux packet processing is considered rather slow (though full featured, well behaved and configurable).

VPP here seems to be a "user-mode network stack", as far as I can tell. I was kind of attracted to the title because I was hoping for SIMD / Vector compute maybe even GPUs, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Still, a usermode network stack is apparently a must-have for any very-high performance network application. I've never needed it, but a lot of optimizers talk about how "slow" Linux networking is when you actually benchmark it.

It makes sense that they had to take out all of the cuts and fades from the training data to improve results.
