Really interesting analogy in the video is the discussion about the system thinking from book Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman

System 1 thinking: Fast automatic thinking and rapid decisions. For example is when someone ask you 2 + 2, you don't think. You just reply quickly instantly. LLMs currently only have system 1 thinking.

System 2 thinking: Rational slow thinking to make complex decisions. For example when someone ask you 17 x 24 you think slowly and rationally to multiply. This kind of thinking is a major component we need for AGI. Current rumor from OpenAI about so called "Q*" algorithm could be something related to system 2 thinking (Just speculation at this point)
Show HN: ComfyUI extension for the new Stable Video Diffusion model
Hey HN!

Just shipped a new ComfyUI extension to add support for the new Stable Video Diffusion model!

Now, you can plug this into any existing ComfyUI workflow to do some really cool things!

Here are a few examples:

Would love to hear any feedback! :)
Yes the loops are not all exactly the same length so drifting can definitely happen.

There’s another comment here suggesting to fix the looping interval so that all samples will play on a regular bpm, but it does introduce a bit of complexity in terms of how to implement and interact with that different way of looping.
Yes indeed, I'm pretty sure that explorer.exe can or could get swapped out. I don't think that can result in a bdod though
Not really: go to any meeting on building a new local road and see very different views on the local reality. The ability to understand and navigate those isn't too different to what is needed on bigger issues.

Looks like net neutrality is going down the shitter. Except it's not the way ISPs would have originally wanted, with CDNs taking stewardship of what's allowed and what's not.
Mmmm, they have military bases in most countries in the middle east so I assume they have permission more or less.

Are they regularly flying over Syria?

The Iranians jammed and stole a drone (lol) but from what I understood it was flying near the border and not over Iran

They flew over Yemen and bombed their own citizen, but Yemen doesn't have a functioning government

I can't wait for the effective altruism and now effective accelerationism to finally come full circle to effective pragmatism.

It's hilarious that people are so focused on what AI will or won't do, but manage to ignore the failings of human thought - such as condensing complex topics into opposing binary stances dismissing all nuance.

AI isn't going to kill us all nor bring about utopia anytime soon.

It's just going to enhance human successes and shortcomings much like every other empowering technology to date. There will be misuse balanced against the application of good intentions. And the standstill of humans vs humans will gradually nudge in one direction and the other in a pendulum like global tug of war.

Anyone who is predicting any kind of absolutist answer probably doesn't have a great track record of predictions, which you'd think would be something we'd collectively look at more often when looking at who we listen to for predictions of the future, instead of simply gravitating to those confirming our own biases in whichever direction we've already been leaning.

The O&G industry won't invest judiciously (they'll do it reluctantly). Anyone else would do it better. And the best employees in that industry can easily move to the green tech market so there's nothing to lose in the transition.

Let's outlaw the extraction and burning of fossil fuels, and tax it as much as possible to make the alternatives more economical until renewables are crushing O&G for good. It isn't like renewables (or nuclear is necessary) is a saturated market already.
You seemed to be arguing that no one needs this feature and it doesn’t need to exist. Not everyone buys the latest iPhones straight from Apple, I’m typing this on someone’s old iPhone 7 and it works fine. The battery life isn’t great but maybe if Apple had implemented this feature earlier it would be better. Replacing the battery would probably cost almost as much as the phone if I did it via Apple.
I mean, DCSS isn't bad, but it focuses on combat and specially role/attributes and spells. A Felid Berseker from DCSS it's far more "arcadeish" on gameplay than Nethack's Valkyrie with swords/hammers.

Show HN: I built the first open LLM for Australian law
Space exploration makes more sense because it's largely seen as a precursor to eventually establishing a colony in space, on the moon or on Mars. Whether that's actually viable is another discussion, but if NASA were to announce this is all just for the sake of curiosity and nobody's ever going to live in space then their funding will be gone in a week.
Well I feel pretty silly now. Thanks for pointing out the error
Yeah I never understood why this wasn't more talked about.

Ah that’s really great… I might be able to do that with a keyboard shortcut - hold “4” while clicking a square and then the sample will autoloop but play only 1 times out of 4. I’ll try this!
Share a repro I’ll sort you out. Gotten good at this bullshit :D
Hey HN,

Last month, I had the honour of seeing my article on how I built the largest open database of Australian law (https://umarbutler.com/how-i-built-the-largest-open-database...) reach the front page. Due in large part to the outpouring of support and encouragement I received for my work from HN, I became determined to publish the first open LLM for Australian law by training a model on my database. I am excited to share that I finally achieved that goal today with the release of Open Australian Legal GPT2, a finetune of GPT2 trained on 37,560 laws and regulations, comprising 635,482,112 tokens, taken from my database.

Although it may not be as large as I had originally hoped, I'm still quite proud of the model. It was a struggle to wade through mountains of options trying to find something that worked. And now I have code I can reuse for training any other causal language model and dataset. The model is thus a small but important step towards maturing the legal AI field here in Australia.

If you’re interested in playing around with the model, you can find it here on Hugging Face: https://huggingface.co/umarbutler/open-australian-legal-gpt2

I wouldn't call it a "gimmick", it's a feature that a lot of mainstream users depend on to find pictures of loved ones. My parents use it all the time to rummage through photos and find pictures of my niece, or an old picture of my dead grandparents.

I think that's just meant to mean that cloning the repo isn't part of the tutorial. For the tutorial, you're meant to use the "npm create promises-training@latest" command to get the correct parts of the repo.

The way it's formatted and lacking this context is definitely a bit too aggressive, as if you'll get in trouble with someone if you do want to clone the repo for other reasons.

Do you mean Stadia? Is it ironic you got the name wrong.

It wasn’t good enough. It purported to be great, but it had random connection issues. Given that destiny, a 1st person shooter, was their flagship game these flaws really jumped out.

You also really needed good internet. Like really good. Mine performed well sometimes when it was hardwired, but lagged regularly over WiFi.

I think these things were fixable, but that thing was dead within a month of launch. Google didn’t get fully behind it, so all the people that launched it got their promos, saw the writing on the wall, and transferred out.

Just curious if MSS or PMTU blocking has anything to do with the problem.

In the 2 different Wireshark dumps, a relevant difference is MSS=1460 and MSS=1380 in the second one.

I'd recommend setting the local NIC MTU to a low value just to see if it has an impact. However, the Wireshark dump doesn't show packet fragmentation, so perhaps this isn't a problem at all?

"If they really care about public safety, they would design their traffic situations so that people are less likely to speed. You can do a lot with clever traffic design, and it's more effective than simply fining everybody."

It is effective, but it might also be unpopular enough with the locals that you lose the next election. Especially if the measures inconvenience them.

I think the incentive for cities such as Fenton is a bit more specific: they want to fine unsuspecting strangers, who don't vote in local elections, while not bothering the locals too much.

You can interpret this as a modern, legal version of ye olde highwaymen. But there is a catch: transiting traffic is a genuine local problem (exhalations, noise, not contributing to local economy), so the incentive to make some money on it isn't as completely evil as it would be otherwise.
That’s basically LARPing the Carboniferous epoch that buried most of the stuff in the first place.
Darwin's "Abominable Mystery"
There's a term "hangar queen" for aircraft that fly a little and need a lot of maintenance.

Sometimes you want extreme performance at any cost. But a lot of the time you want a good enough performance at low cost.

The amount of supporting resources and length of maintenance breaks etc affect cost, or the amount of aircraft you need to get in order to be able to do the mission.

If you have 20 aircraft but 15 are being maintained, you only have 5 flyable ones, you still had to pay for acquisition of all the 20, and have to pay for the ongoing maintenance for the 15.

If you have 10 but only 5 are maintained at any given time, you have the same flying capacity of five aircraft but your total costs are likely going to be much less as you only had to acquire ten aircraft and only have to have maintenance people enough for 5 at a time.

This is really hard to explain to a lot of people in the software industry by the way. They say a feature is complete, my job is done. But if it's extremely hard to configure, deploy, monitor, maintain etc then it might turn out to be a net negative.

It's the whole iceberg that counts, not the tip.

There are few points that resonate with my personal experience (2012-2017).

- Finance is running the company
- HR has lost the original shepherding of the culture in favour of risks mitigation
- Reduction of transparent leadership comms in favour of corp speak
- Horrible middle management (senior managers up to VP1). Either because we promoted great engineers into a people role, or because we hired consultants to run engineering organization (favouring navigating the complexity of the org, over managing innovation).

I did rationalise all those changes as something that was obvious from a short term optimization standpoint: the company was in the mist of PR fights, leaks , growing incredibly fast, etc.
It's clear, 6 years later, that a sustained approach to this type of leadership has reduced the company to a shadow of itself. Less innovative, less talent driven.
Just out of curiosity, would it not have worked to throw them in an incinerator or bonfire or something?
1. Fossil fuels can't just run out because they are produced continuously by dead matter decaying over time. It's in the name.

2. Carbon dioxide is good for the plant life. Plants are literally "breathing" it and producing oxygen. As with everything in nature, this is balanced by the fact that animals breathe oxygen and release...you guessed it, carbon dioxide.

3. Vulcanic eruptions all over the planet release three orders of magnitude more CO2 than all of humanity combined over a period of one year. These eruptions happen in the Earth's oceans, as well, where they are more frequent as there is simply more ocean floor than there is land on the surface.

So, please stop with the disinformation already. Or just reduce the carbon footprint in the most developed countries in the world and leave the developing world to go through the fossil fuel phase that those countries went through.

Crypto scam: Inside the billion-dollar 'pig-butchering' industry
Yes, I think everyone is a bit wary of Wilders, but it's also hard to deny PVV is the largest party – you can't "just" ignore then either. VVD is probably at least willing to be convinced it can work.

On immigration VVD is closer to the PVV that they'd like to admit, but PVV is also pretty left-wing on a lot of other issues – that's probably going to be a harder problem. The reason Rutte 1 failed was the budget, not immigration.

"depend" is too strong a word, given that you can accomplish the same task (finding pictures) manually as well. Also given the typical accuracy of these systems, you'll find many more pictures if you do it manually. On some photos of my dad's 60th birthday, there are 7+ people in frame and the fancy AI recognizes absolutely nobody - including my dad having a conversation front and center, who was only slightly turning his head away from the camera.

Humans use a lot more than just facial recongition, meanwhile this AI stuff seems overly focused on it. I reckon most people could recognize Donald Trump or Angela Merkel even from behind, using clues from the surrounding, their dress, stature, and hair. I'd wager you can recognize your loved ones from any angle very reliably. Can your AI?

Honestly in my personal experience the best way to accomplish such a thing is still to order by date, because you, holding your camara/phone, move continously through time/space. Pictures of a certain person usually occur together and aren't randomly distributed. An exception is maybe your SO and others you may take a photo of on a whim.
Makers are important of course but unless you have a charismatic seller, whatever you make won't find many users. And once it has been made and you have 100M users, the maker is no that important. Wozniak was a critical factor in Apple's earliest creations but later on he didn't matter as much.
