Okay, paypig. I don't have to "justify" anything. I'm not obligated to watch ads, it's that simple. If they don't like that, they better have their server return 402 Payment Required instead of a free video. Otherwise I'm gonna be right here making full use of those servers as much as I want. And if they send me ads I'm deleting them. And if they block my ad deleter, I will delete their blocker. And I won't lose a second of sleep over it.

Spotify should go the way of DuoLingo; once you pay there are no ads period.
Maybe it’s a location thing? Until very recently I used the free version of Spotify and never experienced any ads in podcasts (which surprised me considering the amount of ads when listening to music).

The problem is that people who have more aren't necessarily smarter. Musk is a posterboy for that. So they really don't deserve the power that money awards them and we can't just blindly believe money to be a proxy for someone's decision making prowess.

Discovered SomaFM thanks to HN and in love with the SF 10-33 (SF police scanner mixed with ambient).

For those of you loving the “deeply-focused and manually curated music channel” vibe, I can only recommend to check out Digitally Imported (di.fm), which I started listening for free and turned into a paying user for years now.
They now own many apps, each featuring its own music style (electronic music, jazz, classical, rock, zen, etc.).

Some live shows are popping up from time to time, adding a bit of “social experience” on top, but the overall feeling I have is exactly the same as the people commenting there: what a pleasure to just log on a very specialized channel fitting your current listening needs and only have quality sounds fulfilling those needs. No add, no commercial tune, no fuss: only rare versions of quality music organized in extremely consistent channels.

Friends at home for a relaxed moment? Why not tuning to “Late night jazz”?
Aggressive repetitive coding: “Goa Psy Trance” will put you in the proper “copy-paste” mood.
Long driving session: “Deep progressive” that is!

Apart from pleasing your ears, the valuable outcome (at a time of AI-propelled tracklists that will only push you to listen to the same mainstream music as your neighbours) is that you’ll gradually build a sense of what you like exactly, and when you like it exactly.

I think there are two main source of learning for AI - the web scrape datasets, which contain our historical experiences and communications, and AI feedback generated from deployed agents. The web text is almost exhausted, or we can't scale it 100x more, but the feedback is just starting to ramp up.

Every day millions of chat sessions are recorded, and they are exceptional training examples. They would contain the kind of errors LLMs do, and the kind of demands people have, and include a human reaction to each LLM message.

The OpenAI move to create "GPTs" is showing they are actively working on improving the feedback signals by empowering the LLM with RAG, code execution and API access. In such a setup it is possible to use a model at level N to generate data at level N+1.

The keyword here is learning from feedback, which aligns with recent talk of using RL methods like AlphaZero with LLMs. A RL agent would create its own data as it goes. I think progress will be gradual, as we need to wait for the world to produce the learning feedback signal. Of course in domains where we can speed that up, AI will progress faster.

Interesting thought: by making LLMs available to the public, they are going to assist people in many ways and create effects that will percolate in the next training set: LLM inference -> text -> effects in the world -> text -> LLM training. So there is already an implicit feedback loop when we retrain the base models. GPT-5 will train on data from a world influenced and shaped with GPT-4.
Yeah

Back the day, before SpaceX came along a serious launch provider, ESA conducted a study on the financial viability of reuseable rockets. The conclusion was, that they are viabke, technically feasible but only financially interestung with a number of launches per year for which there was no demand.

SpaceX for sure is launching a lot of their own Starlink satellites...

You complain about them feeling entitled to use your computer how they want while trying to justify doing the same thing to them.

Aluminum and magnesium are lighter than titanium at the same strength.

The idea is you can use less titanium in the application you would use aluminum, but this has limits. If your ladder was .200” wall thickness, you might in theory get away with a .070” titanium for the same weight, but you start running into mechanical stresses or assembly issues or manufacturing.

Titanium is useful when you need internal volume - most recently as an example by Apple. Aluminum was fine, but had thick walls. Steel allowed thinner was but was heavier. Titanium allowed for thin walls and more internal volume, but at a higher cost.

Basically, if you don’t have a size limit, aluminum is great! But most things have size limits, and titanium allows you to trade size for cost.

The usecase of providing ethernet to devices without wireless makes sense.

I also hear about travel usecases for these, even for devices with wireless which I don't understand.

Some cite security, which I don't understand. Which device's security depends on the network to provide security? Are they weak on 4G?

Some cite avoiding captive portals. Are they that annoying that it's worth maintaining and carrying a travel router?

I trust this is just my lack of imagination. Please enlighten. :)

What is the general consensus on Anthropic/Claude VS OpenAI/ChatGPT?
I was rather let down with GPT, sub based use or not. I mean, it's generative AI, I know what that entails but still. So color me surprised when I found myself in a rather /r/iam14andthisisdeep with Claude over the idea of AI being aware, understanding emotions and all the horseshiz that goes with that.

Totally fair. To many people discovery is the feature that the like most about Spotify. If that doesn’t interest you, you’re well off on YouTube.
Thank you for adding adding that. I should have phrased it as: “it is permitted to not offer the futile intervention / heroic measure.”

As an example this is typically something like not offering CPR when death is imminent for another reason.
I agree that this is a bold claim. However, tax-deductible philanthropy is profoundly undemocratic, because it effectively amounts to everyone else subsidizing the philanthropic preferences of the ultra-wealthy. I think the onus is therefore on proponents of private philanthropy to prove its efficacy outweighs its democratic deficit.
I use Rust for bare-metal development (no libc, no allocator, no panic, 32k size limit), and it is comparable to C and C++ for that use-case. The project is 99.5% Rust with a bit of assembly glue for startup/interrupt handlers.
No kidding. Run the model as a GAN and recover a lot of sensitive info.

> observed that propagandists on either side of World War II were as truthful as they could be.

Lying all the time still fits the limits of "as they could be" if there are serious constraints on truth (as was the case in WWII)

> The manual for the American and British expeditionary forces warned that “when the listener catches you in a lie, your power diminishes.… For this reason, never tell a lie which can be discovered.”

There's a manual, then there's reality of people ignoring manuals

What's the point of going so shallow all the way to WWII when you can observe in real time how much outright and easily discoverable lying there is in the current batches of propaganda?
I would use “cold roll” instead of “mild steel”.

I installed this on my system, having a little issue like you mention below where the bot hears itself so it got into a loop of talking to itself and reply to itself.

Could the issue be that I am using a pair of bluetooth headphones and the microphone is built into that - what is the optimum setup, should I be listening on the headphones and using a different mic input instead of the headphone mic?

This is pretty intermeeting I would love to get it to work. Running a 3060.

Ask HN: How do you scale transformer context lengths over multiple machines?
Context length is such an important aspect in today’s AI race. All major players actively advertise this too. Given how matrix math works, how do people run inference for a transformer when the context length is so long that you can’t fit it on one gpu / one machine ?
Yes, airlines and train systems for example.
SimpleMind does something similar with OPML and it works well across desktop and mobile. Definitely worth checking out on a tablet.

A few months ago I got very sick, I was briefly hospitalized.

I don't want to share all of the details, but somehow that set into motion a chain of events that lead to me doing better than I've ever been. I was struck that I didn't plan for things to turn out this way - and they've turned out better than I have the cleverness to plan for.

I'm trying to do things a little differently. I'm studying zen and taoism and learning that things work better if I don't try so hard to control them.

Life is strange. I'm grateful for to be here, and I'm grateful that it's strange.

Take care, HN.
Polio would already be eliminated if not for extremely superstitious people and religious governments.

Coordinating the public health efforts across all countries is incredibly difficult and expensive work that requires constant investment and upkeep. Teaching people to be skeptical of the superstitions that were passed down and to look for real, reproducible evidence is what produced all of the benefits of The Enlightenment and continues to pay off.
Did he say otherwise ? The point is...who cares ? Planes fly and they so very very well. They even fly faster than any bird will ever be able to. So who cares that bird wings are "quite a bit more sophisticated". Sophistication is not and never was the goal.
I'd like to take this opportunity to lament Spotify's UX. It's my music streaming app of choice, but I'm hoping against hope that Tidal et all can eventually provide meaningful competition, because their UI, which was never exactly great to begin with, has done nothing but stagnate for 10 years. And in some cases it has been actively worsened, like when they removed Hold-To-Preview. I have a bunch of local mp3s on my computer of songs that never made their way to the streaming services for whatever reason from wayyyyyy back in the day and I use Foobar2000 to manage and play them. The experience is just night and day. I don't want Spotify to become Foobar, but it's criminal how much room there is to improve the music listening, library managing, and general app experience that Spotify just refuses to take.

tl;dr, I wish Spotify liked their app as much as I like their app.

> "tu quoque," also known as the "appeal to hypocrisy."

I'm not seeing how responding to "Jimmy Carter did something good" with "Jimmy Carter also did something bad" could possibly be characterized as a tu quoque, or as an appeal to hypocrisy in any more general sense.

A tu quoque would involve making some kind of claim about the person being addressed ("tu"), and there is no hypocrisy involved in doing two different things.
Thank you so much for leading such a great project! In the past I had struggled to find a project to really get me hooked into programming, but the gbdev project really nailed it : )

> Q is an evaluation of how good a state is assuming the agent acts optimally going forward.

The Q-value represents the expected utility or the total reward of taking a certain action in a given state, followed by following an optimal policy thereafter. So, yes, it does evaluate how "good" or beneficial a state is, but specifically in conjunction with a chosen action and under the assumption that the agent will act optimally in the future.

So it is conditioned on state and action, not just on state.
Heads up… except for mine almost none of the comments here mention Grade 5 (6AL4V).

This thread is a ton of people talking about things they think they understand but haven’t actually directly worked with. Just making things up or repeating things they heard once.

Anyone who actually uses it will know Grade 2, 5, 12, 23 etc.

I don’t mind particularly, there are some clearly educated people talking about chemistry, but it is important to note how many people here are talking out their asses.

Like all market activity, the high-level point of all that activity is to derive the real price of the thing being traded. Without falling too far into the late stage central planning thing, this is the mechanism that has been absolutely broken (due to been poorly done by pathetic humans) in all previous attempts at communism.

As a tangent, it would be interesting to see if non-pathetic modern computer systems could actually achieve to implement that mechanism successfully. But if sci-fi is to be believed, that could easily fall into another form of dystopia.

I believe the CRS contracts carried a launch failure penalty and a no-insurance (mission assurance) clause like the LSP, which would’ve fetched a higher price.
How do you apply Q-learning to LLMs? They would need to estimate the action-value of each action in a given state. How can you pick the best action when you only have a scoring function that would rate how good each action is, but the action space is infinite. You can't pick the best action.

It is probably something else, like Decision Transformer.

Not sure what is a failing unique to capitalism here. The USSR had a standards body comparable to western ones (Gosstandard) and that still has plenty of political infighting and abuse. And for all of capitalism's failings, I don't think it's had any scientific failings on the level of Lysenkoism.
