There's a lot of issues with it, but perhaps the biggest is that there aren't just troves of easily scrapable and digestible 3D models lying around on the internet to train on top of like we have with text, images, and video.

Almost all of the generative 3D models you see are actually generative image models that essentially (very crude simplification) perform something like photogrammetry to generate a 3D model - 'does this 3D object, rendered from 25 different views, match the text prompt as evaluated by this model trained on text-image pairs'?

This is a shitty way to generate 3D models, and it's why they almost all look kind of malformed.

FWIW, anyone can enable this policy. All you have to do is drop some files in /etc. See https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/9027408?hl=en

Chrome doesn't look in your home directory for enterprise policy manifest files, sadly.
In fact Bitbucket started as a Mercurial hosting service, then added Git support, then dropped Mercurial.

From when they dropped Mercurial in 2020 [1]:

"Yesterday marked an end of an era for Mercurial users, as Bitbucket announced to no longer support Mercurial repositories after May 2020. Bitbucket, owned by Atlassian, is a web-based version control repository hosting service, for source code and development projects. It has used Mercurial since the beginning in 2008 and then Git since October 2011."

Btw - I never found a good explanation why all USD transfers need to be routed trough usd banks. Google is quite silent on the subject - is it common knowledge or too obvious?
I still don’t fully understand why TypeScript needed to be involved in the discussion at all. TSC tries to do far too much and doesn’t do most of it very well. The tsconfig format is restrictive and annoying.

TS would be a lot better if it were just a type checker and nothing else (which is more or less what you get when you switch to a proper bundler).
Back when I was a summer intern, I shared a secretary.

At the time I had thought I was slumming it because I was in a cubicle, instead of (at my previous summer job) an office with a door.

Weird beliefs about AGI seem to be a common pitfall for people who spend a lot of time with chatbots of any sophistication. There were users who believed ELIZA was actually intelligent back in the 60s. It happened to Blake Lemoine more recently (speaking of what became Bard) and now it's apparently prevalent at OpenAI.
What little I've watched so far of the video indicates this occurred at a pizza place that is one of two eateries on the island and this one is owned by "the government" or people currently high up in the government.

The Wikipedia article is confusing. It speaks of both an island and state that use the name Kosrae, lists 6600 total population for the state and 1500 as the largest population of any of the islands, an island named Lelu.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosrae

So if this is one of two restaurants on a tiny island with fewer than 1500 inhabitants, it's not insane to think he really overheard a government meeting with Chinese officials held at an establishment the government or those officials own.

Fact is stranger than fiction and "one in a million" odds means someone will experience it. This is the internet, not the mall in your hometown. People with statistical outlier experiences show up all the time on the internet.

So do liars, charlatans and con artists, "but what are the odds..." is a pretty weak argument in this case.

Can it block YouTube ads?
"To support a diverse ecosystem of creators globally and allow billions to access their favorite content on YouTube, we've launched an effort to urge viewers with ad blockers enabled to allow ads on YouTube or try YouTube Premium for an ad free experience. Users who have ad blockers installed may experience suboptimal viewing, regardless of the browser they are using."

The beginning of the first sentence is what we might call "framing". It's hilariously deceptive. Let's remove it.

"We've launched an effort to urge viewers with ad blockers enabled to allow ads on YouTube or try YouTube Premium for an ad free experience. Users who have ad blockers installed may experience suboptimal viewing, regardless of the browser they are using."

Readers can deduce YouTube's motivations.

It's a bizare mindset. Facebook, WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram - none of them are forced to be interoperable. If I build a messaging protocol, there's no requirement for it to be interoperable. Apple does not hold a majority market share in most of the world. Where is this monopoly, and why should they be forced to share the fruit of their labours?
Right now, Safari being the only game in town on iOS is basically the only reason why websites don’t exclude non-Chrome browsers already. Now if Apple ever supported this in a way that broke or deprecated adblocking, I’d probably seriously consider switching to an un-Googled Android phone. Until then, though, I’ve switched to Firefox on my desktop computers and use Safari on mobile and am pretty darn happy with the adblocking of both.
It's mentioned at the very bottom of the article, dismissively. (Despite the fact that the FAQ linked to doesn't make it seem nearly as limited as the author of this article wants you to believe)
Chrome won because the won over the influencers, that is the developers and people who provide support to others. Those influencers recommended Chrome to friends and family. As soon as those influencers shift to another browser, everyone else will gradually follow.

The problem that will prevent this from happening is the browser engine monoculture that might result it websites blocking anything but Chrome or a Chromium browser.
Unfortunate, but not something I can disagree with.
A clarification, because I'm seeing a lot of misunderstanding:

This is about whether or not the FBI needs a warrant to see information that was already collected legally by another part of the gov't.

This is not about whether or not the gov't can collect this specific data in the first place, everyone involved seems to agree they do.
You would have a point if it repeated the same "you are very annoying." over and over, which it does not. It generates new sentences, it is not regurgitating what is given.

Would you say the same if the sentence was given as an example in the user message instead? What would be the difference?

If a wild eyed man with long hair and tinfoil on his head accosts you and claims to have an occult ritual that will summon 30 tons of gold, but afterwards you have to offer 15 tons back to his god or it will end the world, absolutely feel free to ignore him.

But if you instead choose to listen and the ritual summons the 30 tons, then it may be unwise to dismiss superstition, shoot the crazy man, and take all 30 tons for yourself.

In the context of the verse, you're comparing the concept of heavenly rewards with shallow appreciation. I think crappy is appropriate. The verse wasn't teaching that you get an reward either way, but instead that you get a real reward or a worthless 'reward'.
I read the image as a visualization of why it feels hostile, to a suburban child, to walk to a point of gathering or "third place." For many suburban children, this kind of intersection is fairly representative of the closest points of interest to their home, accessible only by car via highways.
I grew up in the suburbs and did all kinds of things on my own. From 1991-1997 I rode my bike all around, went to the park, played sports, socialized, went to stores and fast-food on my own. My parents set some reasonable limitations on it: had to come back periodically and check in, let them know where I was, couldn't cross busy streets. I even had an SNES and my friends had Sega, and we played video games and watched TV, but we got bored of that and went outside at least as much as we stayed in.

I don't know what happened between then and now. I don't have kids so I don't know how people make decisions about them. I know a big part of it is fear of child abductions and getting hit by cars. I think it's just an irrational fear of those things (or bullying or using drugs) that slowly led to tightening the leash on kids. Today I rarely see kids doing anything in public without a helicopter parent within 50-ft. One of the middle schools I drove by allows one child to leave the door, go straight to their parents car, before the next car pulls up. They aren't even allowed to walk home unsupervised.

"What accounted for this miraculous end to the plague of all plagues?

Not vaccines.

They were given in early 2021, a year before the tide rolled out, and even their backers concede they don’t work well against Omicron.

No, what happened was Omicron itself. It swept through the United States in the winter of 2022, the vaccinated and unvaccinated alike. Its mortality rates were overall much lower than the earlier variants - probably in the range of 0.05-0.1% - though its transmissibility meant that the winter of 2022 still saw a lot of deaths (particularly in older people, no matter that they were jabbed).

Ever since, various not-very-lethal Omicron strains have bounced around a population that has real (aka natural) immunity"

The post dismisses native browser support (a huge benefit of ES modules) as "an utterly useless feature" that's "unavoidably slow" because of the additional roundtrips needed as the dependency tree is traversed.

But this problem has been solved by modulepreload[0], also natively supported in the browser, which lets you specify the modules upfront in the HTML, avoiding the need for additional roundtrips. Tooling could help with generating the list of preloads but is not necessary.

In the long run, as long we have general-purpose computers, ad-blockers will win. Suppose a ManifestV4 completely cuts off network filtering: so what? Run a GPU driver that uses an AI model to block out anything that looks like an ad. Sure, you won't stop ads distorting page layout or causing unnecessary network traffic, but as long as you control your computer a whole, you don't have to see them.
In mice !
Keep in mind that these companies fight tooth and nail against public network infrastructure.

Then, they turn around and selectively deploy. Charge and arm and a leg for any deployment that isn't convenient. And, regardless of cost of deployment -- which is negligible for structures with pre-existing infrastructure -- try to lock customers into year or even multi-year commits.

But what about recouping their costs in the face of initial teaser rates for new customers? Well, what about the fact that as an existing customer, I have to fight to avoid being charged > 5x that teaser rate?

This all speaks to oligopoly where not monopoly, and to the extortion of a geographically captured customer base.

I have little sympathy for these companies.

That all being said I think for many people the ability to have a bright line is because the abstractions involved in deeply understanding these types of trade offs are not a common part of life. We are (nearly) universally worse at the types of reasoning (especially reasoning with abstractions) that we don't do frequently.
Those Georgian apartments in Edinburgh are up to like 6th floor walk ups. It’s something you can get used to, but sprain your ankle and it’s suddenly a much different experience. Usually it’s more steps per floor than a comparable NYC walk up. Great idea if you are young or have a good social support system in case you need help.

> Why don’t children leave the house?

Because of screens.

We have a forest in our backyard with a 2 story fully enclosed treehouse (including electricity), sports fields within a 5 minute walk, tons of hiking trails, etc. But it is a real struggle to get them to leave the house because they want to be on the Internet 24/7. Of course we take away the devices, but that just leads to them bemoaning their screen less state. One of the problems is, this is taught in the schools. Pretty much every class is using screens constantly. Our local school district recently experienced a hack that made it so they couldn’t use chromebooks for a few days. All the teachers lesson plans were completely centered around devices, so the kids just watched movies all day instead.

This is already been ruled on in regards to the first amendment. If you can plainly see it from public, it’s considered public. For example if I can see into your living room from the public sidewalk, it is legal for me to look/record.

There is a lot of nuance beyond that as well, but largely that is the way it works.
the next logical step is to imply that it is stealing/unethical to look away during those ads.
Software unmaintained kills itself. I wouldn't feel all too bad if you found a different solution that fits your demand. To say one shoe fits all is silly.
Co-founder here :)

Today, it is mostly about convenience. We provide abstractions in the form of a pipeline that encompasses a data source, embed and sink definition. This means that you don't have to think about embedding your query or what class you used to add the data into the vector DB.

In the future, we have some additional abstractions that we are adding that will add more convenience. For example, we are working on a concept of pipeline collections so that you can search across multiple indexes but get unified results. We are also adding more automation around metadata given that as part of the pipeline configuration we know what metadata was added and examples of it, so we can help translate queries into hybrid search. I think about it as a self-query retriever from Langchain or Llama Index but that automatically has context of the data at hand. (no need to provide attributes)

Are there any specific retrieval capabilities you are looking for?

Meh. Distancing works. Masks work. Vaccines work. Hydroxychloroquine doesn't work. Herd immunity never happened. Seems from my perspective that "science" did its job pretty well. Were individuals wrong about stuff? Yup, happens all the time. But I don't see any lack of understanding in hindsight.

You seem to be making an argument about public policy, not science. And I refer to the comment to which you replied: different things, with different goals.
Show HN: Stack machine visualized with puzzle pieces
This was a touch/mouse driven puzzle game prototype, I liked the idea of the shape of the puzzle pieces representing the stack effect.

Other approaches I tried:

Have the player deal and stack cards (to avoid auto-layout issues) https://gashlin.net/tests/shuffle/

Animate the execution https://gashlin.net/tests/pinion/

The puzzle pieces were my favorite, but the family and friends who tested it seemed to understand it best with the animation.

> For something more recent, I'd recommend any of the books or documentaries on oxycontin sparking a more recent opium epidemic. As badly as the FDA failed, we'd be worse off if we didn't have one.

I feel like the problem we have is that we've utterly failed at informed consent.

You go to the doctor for a minor surgery and come home with a prescription for opioids. You take them even if you're not in any real discomfort, because your doctor prescribed them. Or maybe you could have done with half as much, but then there's a chance it wouldn't have been enough, and having the patient rely on their own judgment is discouraged. So now you're addicted to opioids.

Then we get a backlash where the people who are actually in severe pain can't get their medication because doctors used to over-prescribe it.

This entire system is asinine. The problem is not that people have access to opioids. Anybody can get them by going to a doctor and lying about their symptoms, therefore anybody should be able to just get them from the pharmacy. Stop rewarding mendacity. But the process of getting them from the pharmacy should require being informed of the risks so you can be responsible -- not being handed a bottle with a bunch of papers you're not going to read and then taking them whether you really need them or not.

We need to stop banning everything and start better informing people so they can make reasonable choices.
