Have you seen fal.ai/dynamic where you can perform image to image synthesis (basically editing an existing image with the help of diffusion process) using LCMs to provide a real time UI?
> Wow. Just wow. Is there really a mistake this big here?

Yup TFA is misleading and arguably plain incorrect.

If you make $200K in L.A. and $300K in SV, you need to use seriously creative math to deduce that: "How Much Less Do Techies Get Paid Outside the Bay? -50%".

Literally TFA says you're paid "minus 50% less".

Negatives (in both sentences and numbers) are a bitch, especially when there are two negatives or more.

TFA should say "How much more would you get paid by moving to The Bay?" and not use negative percentage.

(raw median)

"How much more would a L.A. dev ($200K) make by moving to The Bay ($300K)? 50% more"

That'd be clearer.
It also somewhat depends on open legal questions like whether models are copyrightable and, if so, whether model outputs are derivative works of the model. Suppose that models are not copyrightable, due to their not being the product of human creativity (this is debatable). Then the creator can still require people to agree to contractual terms before downloading the model from them, presumably including the usage limitations as well as an agreement not to redistribute the model to anyone else who does not also agree. Agreement can happen explicitly by pressing a button, or potentially implicitly just by downloading the model from them, if the terms are clearly disclosed beforehand. But if someone decides on their own (not induced by you in any way) to violate the contract by uploading it somewhere else, and you passively download it from there, then you may be in the clear.

I would guess Google needed Spotify to prioritize the Android App.

And as far as I can tell, the music labels (Warner/Sony/Universal) need Spotify to be able to negotiate with Apple/Google/Amazon.
With GPUDirect and active-wait kernels, you can get a tight controlled latency and saturate PCIe bandwidth without touching main memory. StorageDirect if you need to write to (or read from) disk.
The used/refurbished market for Chromebooks is great for buyers, too. There's not much demand for used Chromebooks so you can get something quite nice for personal/kid use around $100-200.
I'm talking about what you posted in your comments. That's the only thing we can know about, and also the only thing we care about. If you want to keep posting here, we need you to review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.htmland stick to the rules from now on.

HN isn't an anything-goes site—we're trying to have a particular kind of forum here. You can call that censorship if you like, or moderation, curation, etc.—people use those words in different ways. The important thing is that we're playing one kind of game and not other. Just as chess is not football, football is not boxing, etc., HN is not for the political battle game. This is not a judgment and we don't care about your views. It's just not the place for that type of commenting. We don't have a choice about this, because if we allowed that type of commenting, it would soon dominate the site, and then the forum would no longer exist for its intended purpose.
Fuel taxes collect $50B/year and road maintenance is $200B/year. Significant, but obviously not a roadblock.
Oh yeah. I remember merging SVN branches into production in 2010 or so.

It was a... special time. Let's not reminisce.
tl;dr: Industrial waste being dumped on communities

Handing out 133,000 devices is not enough without including a complete lifecycle management mechanism which will recover and recycling all 133,000 devices at the end of their useful life. Otherwise this is just industrial waste being dumped on unsuspecting communities. The Chromebooks will be in landfills in 3 years.
Yes, but not when I'm using my YouTube account on someone else's TV to show them something.
Before git, most people in my larger circle used RCS, a UNIX version control system from the early 80's. It was very limited (basically each file had its own side-file that contained revision data, and there was no project-wide file) but did its job. Many people moved over to VCS, which used RCS files but added project-wide files so you could manage a dir tree.

After that, I think many people moved to subversion, which had a lot more functionality for distributed VC, for exmaple there was a server. svn was popular for a while but building it was painful (due to berkeley db) and it sort of never grew. I invested a lot of time in (specifically apache with mod_dav and mod_dav_svn) but lost interest in VC after fighting with subversion.

git came along and from what i can tell it mainly had "it's by linus, and the kernel uses it" and "it's fast" and "something about reflogs". I use git day-to-day but I still; can't explain how git became so ubiquitous; I find using it outright painful.
> Has anyone come across a solution where model can iterate (eg, with prompts like "move the bicycle to the left side of the photo")? It feels like we're close.

Emu can do that.

The bluejay/toronto thing may be addressable later (I suspect via more detailed annotations a la dalle3) - these current video models are highly focused on figuring out temporal coherence
If I travel from Northern Europe to hot places, the first thing I have to do in the hotel room is turn the temperature up about 5-10°C.

If it's 30°C outside, 25°C is a reasonable room temperature. I don't want a shocking transition when I go in and out.

Last year I visited a place with almost 40°C outdoor temperatures, and I set the car AC to 28-30°C.

Those examples blend in a lot better than most YouTube sponsors. I don't mind subtle product placement. Those didn't even name the product out loud, they just showed it off a bit.
Sorry I didn't mean to come across as snarky.

By handwavy I meant that one can easily come up with "logical" arguments around behaviour that dont reflect reality, so it needs to be backed up by evidence.

Thanks for posting the article I was not aware of this research (while I was aware of the research showing the opposite).

2 things to note:
1. How is it possible that the two don't cite each other?! I have to call out the scientific report paper in particular. Piff's work is more than 10 years old and well known. Instead the authors only cite work that supports their premise. I would have thrown it out as a reviewer just based on this. That said the article I linked should have mentioned some of the work cited in the scientific reports article as well.

2. It seems studies are done quite differently, the article you linked seems to largely rely on surveys (sidenote I really dislike the use of mechanical turk for these things, way too unreliable) of assessment others or their own ethical behaviour. Piff's work was more experimental (thus lower numbers and less reliable in that sense)
Also many cellular providers (esp developing countries) have sweetheart deals for serving Spotify data without it counting towards your data limits.

Facebook has/had that too in many markets.
> a vendor locked in Chromebook

Choose your poison. Macbooks are tightly knit with Apple and phone home, but are absurdly expensive and people pay for the privilege of getting spied on. Same with Chromebooks: we're just another datapoint for Google, and much more data is collected. Why not hand out Thinkpads flashed with Trisquel Linux[0]? (A Libre Linux that respects privacy?). And don't get me started on Windows 10/11 lol.

I would read Francois Chollet's explanation of this. It's very good: https://fchollet.substack.com/p/how-i-think-about-llm-prompt...

For words that are not in the model's vocabulary, like 'fluftable', the model uses a subword tokenization strategy. It breaks down the word into smaller known subunits (subwords or characters) and represents each subunit with its own vector. By understanding the context in which 'fluftable' appears and comparing it to known words with similar subunits, the model can infer a plausible meaning for the word. This is done by analyzing the vector space in which these representations exist, observing how the vectors align or differ from those of known words.

'As always, the most important principle for understanding LLMs is that you should resist the temptation of anthropomorphizing them.'

My guess is node 19 isn't an LTS version and it's hard enough to maintain just the LTS versions. Probably a requirement that will save a lot of pain...
Pay no attention to those stablecoins over in the corner.

I don't know. Look at hundreds of thousands of pages of regulations, many layered regions and municipalities, meddling politicians; agencies and bureaus involved in US market (or EU market).

If you wrote down all the rules of Google app store, including all their sweetheart deals (I'm sure there are many), and accounted for all departments within Google that influence AppStore, it would be massively smaller and way simpler conceptually. The scale of bureaucracy, inconsistency, bad incentives and accumulated cruft is just not comparable.

Children can be homeless, go without and generally aren't "crackheads". Extrapolate that to other fellow humans.
This isn’t measuring reported deaths attributable to eg organ failure via heat stroke, it’s applying epidemiological models to quantify the burden of heat-related mortality in unusually high excess mortality rates for the summer of 2022 and by extension compare it to 2003 and intervening years

Yes, your body does something called methylation to alter gene expression, and yes, medicine is trying to use this fact for diagnostics at the moment.

If you experience stress, your body will upregulate expression of cortisol and other hormones. If you remove the stressor, it will downregulate. Chronic stress can break these processes and require medical intervention. This is all (in theory) detectable with methylation analysis of the genome, but it will take a decade to fully flesh the technology out.
Again, they make an example because people are pissed off. Despite this saga making front page news, no one is going to care much about Satya making misleading claims about OpenAI IP ownership. The average person on the street will not lose their retirement fund from that revelation.

The links to politicians, lobby efforts, the US economy, etc, etc... means something really egregious has to happen for jail time to be an issue w/ high level white collar crime.

EDIT: Since I can't respond further to the chain - tons of people cared about Martha Stewart. They were sick of people in high society getting a slap on the wrist for things like this. It definitely was a cathartis... esp. from someone so unlikely.

0x90n/InfoSec: Deals for InfoSec related software/tools this Black Friday
Here comes a question what many of the people reading the comments are thinking:

As of November 2023, what is the canonical way to set up a Node project with Typescript and hot reload?

Minimal setup with least amount of configs and tooling. I am not after any other tools like Bun.
Again, you should check who those 51% are. If you don't know who they are and what their relationship with Microsoft and the various board members is then you probably won't understand why your comments on this subject don't track.

Hint: the 51% are more likely to go after the board than that they are going to go after Microsoft because the board action is what precipitated this whole mess.

Microsoft is just - conveniently - picking up the pieces and periodically drops hints about what they'll do if anybody gets in their way of doing that.
20% of a very large number is still a large number. There are lots of very profitable businesses that have a ~1% profit margin.
A Freakonomics episode claims that corporations "grow into slow behemoths" because, by the nature of being successful, you tend to have more programs to maintain. So you spend more time in maintenance mode and outsource your innovation by acquiring scrappy start-ups. It's a risk/reward tradeoff of its own.
Perhaps ironic? Your wording sounds exactly like is was written by ChatGPT (especially the last sentence)!
This logic is a little bit of "They are free to remove self-checkout. But as long as they allow self checkout, I'll allow myself to skirt a few things around it."
Also not a doctor, but from the arm chair research I've done (I have ADHD), in the case of having trauma in childhood it's more likely that those people have PTSD (not ADHD). Certain types of PTSD have overlapping symptoms with ADHD and are commonly misdiagnosed.

A nonprofit board that has control of a for-profit LLC and a for-profit LP that acts as a holding company through which it controls the LLC has some obligations to the members of the former and the limited partners of the latter, but the exact obligations will depend on the governing agreements of each entity.
FWIW The Soviet Union never stated that it was communist. They were officially socialist with the constitutional goal of establishing communism. for that matter the Mensheviks predate the Bolshaviks and always opposed Lenin.

do the recent Kraken charges change this sentiment at all?
Hm yes but in general if this happens too much it's frowned upon. Because all the bookkeeping to shift money within the same company actually costs money for no real reason.

If this happens a lot the department bearing the cost is usually compensated with a bigger budget.
No offense, but this is absolutely delusional.

As long as people can "clock" content generated from these models, it will be treated by consumers as low-effort drivel, no matter how much actual artistic effort goes in the exercise. Only once these systems push through the threshold of being indistinguishable from artistry will all hell break loose, and we are still very far from that.

Paint-by-numbers low-effort market-driven stuff will take a hit for sure, but that's only a portion of the market, and frankly not one I'm going to be missing.
If that meant anything the USDT to USD peg would collapse as it could no longer be redeemed for fiat.
They already use their dominance in one platform (android) to achieve dominance in another (chrome), the exact same way Microsoft have been found guilty of years ago.

If the US govt wanted to sue google for it, they would have years ago.
Option 3: negotiate a deal with a corporate partner with terms that mean it's more lucrative for them to help you succeed rather than take steps to ensure you fail at the first sign of trouble seems like a better choice.

Clearly the possibility of OpenAI failing is not independent from the behaviour of its corporate partner. And I'm not sure Microsoft's negotiation is quite bad faith enough or their interest in OpenAI low enough to have made the entire deal contingent on the "if/when we decide to move aggressively against your company so it collapses we get exclusive free in perpetuity access to everything you ever did and no more caps to the profits from them" clause. If it's in there, it's in there because they signed a bad deal rather than because it was the only possibility.
Porn will be one of the main use cases for this technology. Porn sites pioneered video streaming technologies back in the day, and drove a lot of the innovation there.
China is not unregulated.

Because the individual cogs of the machine is quite interesting. Especially if you are interested in how people behave differently in North Korea compared to the free world.

Besdies: It's Youtube, I'm sure you can find plenty of videos that aren't zoomed in.
I think this underlines the misconception by YT of who the customer is.
Is it the advertiser who buys ad-space, is it the content creator who makes videos, or the viewer subscriber? Satisfying all three parties at scale is incredibly hard.
Just because many technologists are poor communicators, doesn't mean all are.

Generally, you'll have to build that layer yourself. No toolkits or SDKs that I'm aware of let you control a computer with an arbitrary prompt. That would probably be best relegated to an LLM that offers the user a suggested workflow and lets them confirm it.

> I realize you first need to record the audio

There are implimentations that let you stream audio in realtime, but it is rather finnecky and will require basic knowledge of audio DSP. I never set it up though, ymmv.
Yes, and they just got for the bargain basement price of 13 billion a 90 billion bonus.

They come out smelling like roses already and it can only get better, not worse for them going forward.
I watched an interview on Youtube with one of their founders. He says he doesn't like the term AGI because AGI can simply mean the AI will be as good as professional humans on most tasks. He thinks that goal will be achieved in a few years but didn't talk specifics of what they are working on or if their company would be the one to do it.

He also dabbled a bit in AI doomerism as all these people doing AI interviews like to do.

Try finding justice on a company-owned platform like Android's app store, or YouTube. I see a lot of stories titled "YouTube shut down my account for no reason", and I never see stories titled "The government shut down my business for no reason".

At least with the government you are backed by the rule of law. With companies it's always "tough luck, you agreed to the EULA".

PS: and never forget that government agencies gave us the Internet, so all those layers and layers of bureaucracy did give us something great and it isn't all bad even if you want to see it that way.
I’ve read elsewhere that management at the company and the investors were doing the negotiating. Although I have no idea how Ilya is involved, since he’s both.

Correct, just like National Tax and Maryland handing out Chromebooks.

> It's a distinction without meaning once you know how it works

But I do know how it works, I even said how it works.

The distinction is not without meaning because Claude's prefill allows bypassing all refusals while GPT's continuation does not. It is fundamentally different.
and a smile face exactly like how chatgpt would do, too! ;)
I think the opposite applies too - "move fast and break things" is a helluva excuse for doing extremely shady things and not worry about the consequences.

Culture and incentives are just extremely hard to get right and align with the morals, and it's a continuous struggle for any business. And this applies even to solo companies.
Yup. Same, re: WhatsApp and the $1 annual fee. It made so much sense "lightweight service, charge $1/year, have 1 billion customers."

These days I use Signal mainly. But also WhatsApp. And Messenger. And SMS for folks who don't have any of the others.

And my iPhone friends complain about how terrible it is to text Android-users, because iMessage.

Oh I should add that it seems that college students these days have standardized on messaging through ... instagram.
IDK if they still do it but Chicago used to run "A" and "B" trains that would only stop every other stop. At some stations, all trains would stop so you could get off and transfer to the alternate train if you needed to.

So basically any given train was only stopping at maybe 60% of the stations.

Spent most of my life living in Maryland. This isn't going to go well. The results will be very mediocre. After the fact they'll say: well at least they tried something.

It's just like burning $27 million.

They need to focus on the education and severe crime problems in and around DC + Baltimore. Nothing is getting much better in Maryland for the poor until that improves. This is a temporary 1/4 of 1% improvement maneuver (temporary as in the benefit won't last a year). Make improvements to two dozen schools instead; or pay hundreds of teachers $10k more per year to do these very hard (and sometimes very dangerous) jobs.
