What Crypto and DeFi has to do with State Surveillance? Or anything about the comment above? I don’t understand
Seriously I don't have the chops or time to do it, but creating a Pidgin wrapper around this tech would be awesome. Just for basic texts/emoticons, it helps a lot with Teams and WhatsApp chats already for me (along with the Pidgin notification extension for GNOME that pops up a box I can type a quick reply into wherever I am).
Still no FP8 from Google. Surprising, given how effective it seems to be for both training and inference. Although it's not that surprising given that the primary customer of TPUs is Google itself, and they tend to stick themselves on weird little tech islands.
That sounds like Putins playbook.
There are many answers and each is a company.
Well your question was whether Microsoft is going to support Tegra as a platform and the answer is they already do.

But really Nvidia is probably going to bring a specced down version of it's Grace Hopper chip, which is also a Tegra chip (T241). So i guess they won't deviate from that.

Ownership isn’t fuzzy though, it has a clear definition. The problem is that clear definition makes pirates angry because they want it to mean something other than what it does, so they try to make the situation cloudy.

If you have an enforceable claim on something, then you own it. If your claim is not enforceable then you possess it.

It's like that episode of Everybody Loves Raymond where Ray's mom (Marie Barone) creates a sculpture that looks like a womb area, and only Ray and his wife can immediately see the ... hidden image, and Ray's dad (Frank Barone) for some reason is very drawn to the sculpture and he can't quite put his finger on it. After Ray, lets his mom know, then she can't unsee it.

Hilarity ensues.
Central NJ, a few train hops out of NYC.

Pros: food is good, people are pleasant enough, it's a place run with sense and meritocratically, no matter your politics. There is practically someone from every strata around, from high powered tech and business goons to the salt of the earth types the further away from a metro-connected train station you get.

Cons: COVID really expedited the yuppie locusts from the city moving in and we are still dealing with that. Crime is still an issue in some areas, mainly Newark (even though idk what would possess a regular person to willingly go to the shitty aside from jury duty), but tbh it's mainly downlow organized crime. You will see a lot of small businesses stay open despite not having a customer in months. Recent demographic changes has also increased almost a nepotistic streak, at least where I am.
This is like the Ship of Theseus. If all transformer authors reunited under one startup rival of Google, who would have the bragging rights?

If you use pencils a lot, do yourself a favor and get a dedicated eraser. I personally like the Sakura SumoGrip block erasers, but even a $3 Pentel Clic from your local big box store will be an upgrade from what is typically on the back of a pencil.

> Sundar's comments in the main video seem like he's trying to communicate "we've been doing this ai stuff since you (other AI companies) were little babies" - to me this comes off kind of badly

> the C64 could display a total of 16 colors at a standard resolution of 120 x 200 pixels, though it also has a graphics mode with the higher resolution of 320 x 200 with more limited colors

I'm not sure where your 120 pixels are coming from, looks like an error. Color mode was half the resolution of the hires mode (2 hires pixels were taken together to represent 4 values that a color pixel could represent; there were 40x25 blocks (corresponding to characters in text mode) where the colors used for each of the 2 or 4 states could be set (with some additional complication as it was using a separate RAM chip for part of that, the details of which escape my memory without looking it up). There were also 8 sprites of 24 (hires) or 12 (color) pixels horizontally, those don't add up to 120 pixels either.
Rent usually has an explicit end (like a home lease is for a year or two, sometimes with an auto-renew clause).

I posted in a sibling, but I'd do something like "buy" (actually buy, can download, use offline), license (implied forever, but streaming and revokable), and "rent" (streaming, explicit time period). Not set on those phrases, but something like that framework makes more sense that what we have today.
That first

Yes, it's putting the data into the name you're querying (the "qname" in DNS parlance). Say you have a message M of some length to exfiltrate, so first encode it as base64 or whatever, then break up the encoded message into chunks of 63 bytes (ASCII characters, since you encoded in base64), then send DNS lookups for ${n}.${chunk}.${some_label_identifying_exfiltration_instance}.${attacker_domain}. It doesn't matter what the replies are (NXDOMAIN is fine), or maybe you want a receipt confirmation encoded as an A or AAAA RR, whatever. You don't even need a tool because you can just script this from scratch every time you need this. The server could just log all the queries -- all you have to do is reassemble them.

One could send junk queries to these domains to try to muck with such attacks, so maybe the attacker could add a label with a MAC to every query name.

Really, this is unstoppable except via a) throttling, b) detecting this sort of thing, c) investigating detected attempts. (Or you can disallow direct DNS access to the Internet, forcing everything to go through proxies.)
Apple has it working just fine.

Don’t blame shoddy implementations by companies who are only checking checkboxes.
Agree. Writing communication is essential, and might have more influence than speaking communication, in a remote working environment. The whole OSS movement has been built on this.
> Eventually prices would have to drop to reflect that you are merely temporarily licensed things.

I understand that you think that would be fair. I also agree that that would be fair, but I’m not so optimistic about it happening.

The cost of digital content has much more to do with how much faff it is to pirate said content and how desireable the content is preceived to be.

Sorr if this is too depressing, but the whole thing is a bit of “I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further.” from the content producers as far as I can see. But! Hope you will be right.
I'm not GP but have been in this boat. We tried a number of different approaches, and kubernetes was by far the most successful. Terraform to provision the k8s clusters, workloads deployed to k8s. With OpenShift it gets even better, though I left the project before we finished implementation so I can't say how it went in prod. Early tests were very good though. If you're feeling bold you can do a "stretch" cluster which has nodes in different data centers (some on-prem for example, some in the cloud, or all in the cloud but different zones). The latency between the masters and nodes can cause problems though so I wouldn't separate them geographically very far.
> And that in itself is the most important factor to avoid bugs.

I'm not sure about that. SQL was the first language I learned and the language that has always been there throughout the decades, and is also where I make the most mistakes.

>If you want to increase the odds of not dying as a pedestrian, you need to be on the lookout.

Nobody in this thread is disagreeing with this statement. Again, you are creating a false binary, where you seem to think either one party or the other is responsible for traveling safely. That is false. Walking alertly and safely improves a pedestrian's chances of being safe, but it does not guarantee their safety.
I also use ChatGPT for most things I used to use Google for. Just formulate your search query as a question and type it into ChatGPT; it's not much more complicated than that. Looking over my ChatGPT history over the last week or two, I've asked it for stuff like what I should eat if I have certain fitness goals, how to improve meals, how to work out more effectively, lots of coding-related questions, which types of heating for a house are most cost-efficient, etc. For almost all those questions (minus the coding ones) I know Google will return blogspam, so I didn't even bother.
The images are in the unsigned section :( It's more convenient to OEMs and corporate customers this way :(
From everyone, if needed.
Unfortunately, the constitution isnt very clear on privacy. It should be. There should be a new amendment which makes it crystal clear that the Patriot Act, for example, is completely unconstitutional.

But what the 14th amendment says is that people and their property are protected against searches by the government wherever there is a “reasonable expectation of privacy.” That and some combination of other details imply a right to privacy, but its mot very explicit and clearly limited. In light of this, the Supreme Court has actually ruled quite favorably In practice, the Supreme Court has actually ruled pretty favorably towards a right to privacy, considering whats actually in the constitution.
It is generalizing and I have no problems with that. This is how we create knowledge from observations. This is a complex, multi-faceted topic that can't be easily discussed in short replies.

Cultural differences and even geography play a role in answering your points. I'm a legal Latin American immigrant who came to the US for a high tech job and stayed. But most immigrants from my country come here illegally, so you don't observe the same selection bias of high achievers.

But I know many legal Latin American immigrants in high tech jobs. Most of their children are high achievers, and they are also often highly ranked in their companies (principal engineers, directors, VPs etc).
Is palm2 multimodal?
I am on here. Will definitely take a look!
Regular professionals that spend any time with text; sending emails, recieving mails, writing paragraphs of text for reports, reading reports, etc; all of that is now easier. Instead of taking thirty minutes to translate an angry email to a client where you want to say "fuck you, pay me", you can run it through an LLM and have it translated into professional business speak, and send out all of those emails before lunch, instead of spending all day writing instead. Same on the recieving side as well. Just ask an LLM to summarize the essay of an email to you in bullet points, and save yourself the time reading.
That wasn't my experience with OpenAI. Their availability has been a mixed bag.
And itself, as in The Civil War.
ReactOS barely works...and last I knew it was at XP-level support for applications.
No non-broken implementation of such things is known to exist. Democracy itself is the tyranny of the majority even when majority rule is what is actually happening. Concentration of power has to be prevented because of this, not in spite of it.
Since Nixon ended the convertibility of the US dollar to gold (at $35/oz) in 1971, the price of gold in dollars has increased at about 8% a year. The S&P 500 over that time frame has returned a bit over 10% a year. If gold has been a sucker's bet, stocks have been barely less of one.

Of course, the correlation between gold prices and stock prices is quite low, so a blended portfolio (occasionally rebalanced) would have outperformed a 100% allocation to either with less volatility.
Agreed. The whole things reeks of being desperate. Half the video is jerking themselves off that they've done AI longer than anyone and they "release" (not actually available in most countries) a model that is only marginally better than the current GPT4 in cherry-picked metrics after nearly a year of lead-time?!?!

That's your response? Ouch.
There has to be some way to verify the claim. Trust me bro isn't science.

Show HN: I made an app to send stock market news to email at 7:00 am
The goal of the app is to help users to receive the stock market news relating to the stock they own.

I have been building this app for 2 months. Even though there is this type of app exist in the market, i just want to do it because i want to create new habit for myself to get things done when i set a goal.

Before this, i had always struggled to get thing done when i had set a goal. Because each time i came up with new ideas to build app, and did the research there were already people did it.

Thus, this time instead of thinking too much, i just gonna built it and get it out there to see what people react to it. I hope it will help people here.

If you are free, please spend a minute to give me any feedbacks relating to the app.

So, Chris, how do you envision the FLAME child understanding what OTP children it needs to start on boot, because this could be FLAME.call dependent if you have multiple types of calls as described above. Is there a way to pass along that data or for it to be pulled from the parent?

Acknowledging this is brand new; just curious what your thinking is.

EDIT: Would it go in the pool config, and a runner as a member of the pool has access to that?
It is spam if I didn’t specifically ask for it. Offering an opt-out as part of some other flow doesn’t mean I want your marketing crap.

This doesn't discount the millions he caused the death of.
Yes, we definitely waited for pedestrians to be hit before deciding road speeds need to be regulated. We waited until long after many pedestrians were struck by vehicles before even considering solutions. And I can't believe I have to say this, but someone dying by getting hit by a car is more serious than someone's SSN getting leaked.

If this is such a big issue, why hasn't more happened already? Why don't we see massive insurance denials based on Facebook posts? Where are the droves of people denied loans because it's leaked they use crypto? There was a huge Ashley Madison data dump some years ago, yet there were no mass firings or even divorces as a result.

Honestly, if nothing big comes out of this DNA leak, I think the idea that privacy is critically important is dead. If someone's DNA being leaked out into the world doesn't matter in a meaningful and systemic way, then there's nothing here.
How did you go from DJing Fabric to a healthcare company? Haha, just genuinely curious
Exactly this. Never install a company's app unless you absolutely need to. Use websites instead whenever possible. If you do need to install an app, uninstall it as soon as possible even if you know you'll need it again at some point.
that doesn't address the last part "without crippling the desirable use cases." ?
So, wait, edge posts non-submitted content you've entered into textboxes to a cloud llm? or is this running in your browser?
That is more of a myth than a reality. If you chart gold investment returns along with consumer price inflation since 1971 (when the US fully left the gold standard) it turns out that gold isn't a great inflation hedge. Other asset classes are probably a better choice for most investors.
Maybe indirectly. I was surprised to learn (just Googled it!) that Google TPU chips are mostly designed by Broadcom, who (being mostly fabless themselves) do in turn use a variety of companies such TSMC, Global Foundaries, etc to make them. Not sure if TPUs use latest cutting edge nodes - if so then presumably it is specifically TSMC.

Even not having a moat anymore, with their cash they might still be the biggest search provider 10 years from now. IBM still exists and is worth 146B. I wouldn't be surprised if Google still came out ok.

Assuming they use unique data only they have to make a better LLM, then everyone is going to leech training examples from them bringing competition asymptotically closer, but never quite reaching. It's hard to copy-protect a model exposed to the public, as OpenAI is finding out.

Many, many tasks can be executed on local GPUs today without paying a dime to OpenAI, there is no moat. AI likes to learn from other AIs. Give me a million hard problems solved step by step with GPT-5 and I can make Mistral much smarter. Everyone knows this dataset is going to leak in a few months.
It seems to not know that hiking=walking. Although it references Google Maps for its essentially driving directions, Google Maps itself gives reasonable walking directions. (The time is still pretty silly for most people given the terrain but I don't reasonably expect Google Maps to know that.)

(Yep. If you then tell it hiking is walking it gives you a reasonable response. It used to give you weird combinations of trails in the general area even when you tried to correct it. Now, with Google Maps info, it was confused about the mode of transit but if you cleared that up, it was correct.)
Some of it makes sense however CH needs to solve the automatic column mapping (semi-structured data) for the logging use case
It used to be like that, when Netflix was alone. That was before the other companies realized that they could grab their own share without Netflix. (Funnily, now that there are that many streaming services, some companies are merging their content back to Netflix slowly...)
I searched for "github bevy rust texture atlas code" and the first link is what ChatGPT provided as well. There are 9 other links in Google search. Why would you type such an elaborate prompt when you can just Google the keywords and get many more results along with the main one.

I have tried using these things for search, but among the hallucinations and lack of different options in the response, I still find searching on Google or other search engines superior.
Exactly. Use gasoline instead.

See e.g https://www.macrotrends.net/1380/gold-to-oil-ratio-historica.... Over 80 years (since 1946), the ratio held stable within 10-40 range, with a few brief spikes. The variance from the average held in a band [-2x, 2x], with a few brief spikes of ~ +-4x.

See also e.g. https://www.creditdonkey.com/gas-price-history.html for the raw price of gasoline, exponentially shaped. The increase over 80 years (since 1946, to match the ratio dataset) is 15x.

Extra wrinkle. The exponent of the exponential is not quite constant over time, currency can debase much faster than one would naively expect by extrapolating historical trends.

Edit. For completness, the BLS inflation index tracks a price inflation from 1946 to 2023 of, guess what, 15x. https://www.in2013dollars.com/us/inflation/1946

Show HN: Shareholdr – Listen to Startup Essays
Hi everyone!

A little background – I'm dyslexic and have always wanted to listen to PG's essays. A month ago, I was testing ElevenLabs and realized TTS had gotten really good.

So, over the past month, I spent a bunch of time cleaning essays (removing things like: — _ % $ = +) to make the audio translations sound good and working with my cofounder to build an app. We currently have essays by Paul Graham, Jessica Livingston, Sam Altman, and Marc Andreessen, and will work to add more quickly.

We made this for founders and it's free to use (also no sign-up).

Let me know if you have any thoughts or suggestions!
Public trackers are pretty awful at the moment. I like PSA alot, but they're only doing new releases, even that not very comprehensive, and some shows only in 720p (this last one's bizarre imo).

I've slowly over the years lost whatever toehold I had on private trackers, but even when I had that it was just impossible to expand it. Until this last year whenever it was, I was happy enough with Rarbg. The night before it dying, I remember thinking to myself "I am so fucked if they go out". I think I might have been the one that jinxed it.

> I’m also wary of any private trackers because they block using VPNs.

Yeh, that policy's not great. It's only 50/50 that they do that so they can snitch on you if they get raided.

How about we go further and just state what everyone (other than Wall St) thinks: Google needs a new CEO.

One more interested in Google's supposed mission ("to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful"), than in Google's stock price.
Yeah, they definitely pretend you've purchased the content. But you've only purchased a license, and even the license is so weak that it effectively says "you can use this as long as we arbitrarily decide you can, and we can take your license away at any time without refunding your money." So you're not really buying anything at all.
