It's still odd what the new AI models are good at, or not. Strangely to me, AI still struggles with hands. Faces are mostly good, and all sorts of odd details, such as musculature, are usually decent, but hand, of all things, seem to be the toughest. I'd have thought faces would be.

Some of the largest projects on F-Droid are all funded either by having a paid version on Google Play, accepting donations, or a company funding their development by hiring the maintainers. Most of the software you can install from a distro repository are also developed in large part by people that are compensated in some form, if the project requires continued development.

Money always ends up in the equation when you have to invest years of your life maintaining and supporting a project. And that's perfectly fine and healthy, because it means you can find a path that does not result in either side being exploited.

As for your last point, I was not responding to developers selling out their users, which is unfortunate, but to the expectation to not have a premium/paid version of a software project distributed. I think the developer even shared the pro version for free on F-Droid (OsmAnd does the same), yet the existence of a paid version was regarded as something negative by the user above.

If you're uncomfortable with the taught of you or at least someone else funding the development of the software you use, you're only setting yourself up to be exploited.

Tell HN: Cocaine and Cypionate Saved My Life from the Tarrant County Sheriffs
This is an upcoming article and a completely true statement. It is complex. This is simply a post to inform that with a CT scan in their possession clearly indicating a severe and likely fatal infection, the Tarrant County Sheriffs Department did not allow JPS Hospital to convey that information to me.

Following my pursuit of justice regarding mistreatment by a Sheriff Deputy while ankle cuffed to the bed in JPS on day 4 for a Class B Misdemeanor, complete radio silence.

Why?

They saw the scan and thought I'd be dead before they had to really account for their behavior - the charges I filed were a wrinkle - internally there has to be a complete storm of epic severity regarding the Sheriff Department emotional completely-out-of-control behavior versus the Medical community...cuffed like I was...

In my freedom I found legitimate Cypionate support at age 42 and it is wonderful because I have prior experience with PEDs. That, plus protein shakes, has easily restored 10 pounds of muscle, limbered tendons, and encouraged better hydration. It is a Schedule II DEA drug.

Cocaine did things for my sinuses and well being and - as those in psychiatry like to say so much "baseline" - that I was able to get off Lexapro AND Metropol early in November. It has been 100% a therapeutic treatment both mentally and physically and, without it, the sinus infection would've continued to prevent the brain and spinal fluid infection (from skull to lumbar) from draining. On the mental side, when you've been beaten down emotionally and financially and physically over the past year by people who tell you THEY LOVE YOU as an excuse to never apologize for trying to kill you, well, I goddamn needed something to keep my spirits up. According to the DEA it is also a Schedule II substance.

Get me a prescription for cocaine as I deserve and I'll write the full article.
That doesn't make sense at all. I think they were just showing that quantum computer advancement isn't going to have the same rapid development that transistor based computers did a few decades ago.

> InTune doesn't even list it as a supported VPN, and everything I see to deploy it suggests some kind of hack to bypass UAC for one specific app because the end-user software requires Admin permissions to startup and hook.

How expensive is it? I'm curious how it compares to spider silk fabric, described at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider_silk#Human_uses ("due to the difficulties in extracting and processing substantial amounts of spider silk, the largest known piece of cloth made of spider silk is an 11-by-4-foot (3.4 by 1.2 m) textile with a golden tint made in Madagascar in 2009.[118] Eighty-two people worked for four years to collect over one million golden orb spiders and extract silk from them").

https://deluxedibs.com/the-most-expensive-fabrics/ says shahtoosh is "around $1,000 per yard" placing it 5th after Vicuña Wool (1st at $3,000 per yard), Guanaco, Akoya Pearl Fabric, and Lynx Fur. It does not list spider silk fabric.
For an additional $50/month.
It's called a conflict of interest. A smart or well advised CEO would seek approval from the board before such a deal. And maybe it was, when this specific CEO went looking for the approval or communicated it to the board, that soap opera got triggered.
It turns out that when you Google "cicada", there's a speaker button near the Wikipedia card in the top right corner which allows you to play the sound of cicadas from within the search results page.
The UniFi hardware is always tempting but the ecosystem is such a turn-off. I've never felt like my home network required vendor lock-in, cloud management and proprietary management software/firmware.

I was so displeased with having to run a proprietary server on my internal infrastructure (which depended on MongoDB of all things, which no distro seems to ship anymore) just to manage my UniFi AP-Lite that I flashed it with OpenWRT and never looked back.

I'll stick to my PCEngines box running OpenBSD + mikrotik managed switches + OpenWRT, thanks.

This setup is hardly much more complicated than the inherent complexity of any non-trivial home network and can be managed with SSH and a web browser.

The difference is that Meta's chips are not developed by a separate company that just happens to be owned by Zuckerberg and charges Meta a ton of money for the R&D work.

That would leave Meta's other shareholders paying the bill while missing out on the gains if the project becomes a success. In other words, the risk is shared but the potential rewards are reaped by just one shareholder.
Kind of, but it did hallucinate an extra p for “pretty”

I gave it (GPT4 Turbo) a block of text to decode with no clues as to the cipher or anything... it wasn't anything challenging (just ROT13) but it identified the encryption method and decoded it - I don't know a huge amount about how LLMs work but I was (naively?) impressed!
I did want to clarify that the executive privilege allows the POTUS to keep and disclose secrets as desired, the classification system is also pretty necessary.

The President regularly needs subordinate executive officers, staff, etc. to know and keep secrets. The Executive Privilege is enough to help them keep the secrets if they’re willing, but sometimes subordinates want to leak secrets. If it’s wartime and they’re sharing secrets with the enemy, then that may be treason, but generally there wouldn’t be any criminal penalties for leaking secrets during times of peace, etc. The classification system exists to support the President. If he says to keep his secret and you don’t, the legislature says thats a crime.
If GPT is trained to be a chatbot that answers questions, you'd expect forms of speech used on Quota to be more prevelant as that is the kind of site it is.

I thought about what you wrote, indeed it is probably difficult to prove either way (unless some other facts are known, like - were there any other companies supplying similar service)

I was helping to implement ISO through small orgs (most likely overkill...) and remember one of important bits was that each purchase had to go through a process of selecting supplier. I wonder if this is also the case in OpenAI (I'd guess it is?). But I also can imagine, if there is only one supplier who provides given goods then the process is not very helpful.
But this isn't OpenAI making their own chips, right? It's the CEO of OpenAI creating a separate company to make chips and then selling them to OpenAI.
maybe its just that peoples hands are all such different shapes, proportions, in odd positions, not fully visible.... but something like "this muscle runs between the elbow and wrist" is just easier for the model to pick up on... it has "anchor points".

Facial features and fingers just.... are hanging off the body in extremely non-uniform ways w/ no real set proportions. It isn't totally intuitive to me why its so bad at it, but faces especially are so unique and the musculature of the face is so fine.... learning a representation must just be really really difficult.

Also, I don't think the employees would also "Listen and believe" those claims given the offer that Sam is giving to them on a golden plate.

The Thompson attack's where code is able to secretly modify/exploit the compiler to propagate through future compiled programs or itself when compiled. Preventing the execution of foreign code thus reduces the attack surface even further.

>To "posses and control" one has to see the thing as a weapon

Nonsense. Plenty of people want to possess and control things other than weapons.
I'm as skeptical of OpenAI's dealings as anyone, but a $1m investment in a chip startup doesn't sound like he's a material owner. They've raised $33 million so far, minus the whole Prosperity7 divestiture kerfluffle (national security made a saudi-backed fund sell), so I'd be surprised if he owned in excess of 5%.

It looks to me like exactly the kind of investment I would expect a wealthy angel to make in startups related to their interests, not undue bias.
Withdraw the US Navy and watch how fast that evaporates.

Someone has to, or you get piracy. A lot of it. And I don’t mean movies. We have the most to lose from impaired trade, so we pay for it.

We have floating airbases all over the world. As Madeleine Albright said to the president of China, “Jiang Zemin, one of my favorite men, but when you’re not so sweet, I send the Seventh Fleet.”

Nukes mean that no nation-state will attack us openly. The Navy means that fucking with the US is a personal death sentence.

I think 4 fingers (of which there can only be 4 and not 5 or 3) that all look similar (but aren’t) plus a thumb that looks much more different (and yet not) plus what happens when you simply rotate your hand in space (fingers become obstructed and then revealed… changing the visible finger count and possibly loosening the reinforcement of 4 finger prevalence) might be the reason
Most VPN software has an automatic start Windows service when the user initiates the connection, thus not requiring local admin.

Needing local admin would make WG a non-starter for many organizations.
It gets to the point of the 'philosophical zombie'. That If an AI can completely mimic a human, then some internal subjective 'experiences' must be occurring that are similar to a humans internal subjective experience of reality. Call it consciousness or whatever.

Of course it can't be proven one way or the other, we can't prove humans are conscious either.

Humans think they are conscious because they have an internal sense of self. How do you determine if a machine has that? If it can mimic a human was one hypothetical test.

There are more robust versions of Turing Test than this one, so can't toss it out as an idea.
Just look at Americans though - they drive expensive trucks, have huge homes, middle class people can even own boats to require those trucks to drive back and forth with from their homes that have much land they can park a boat on it. Europeans are stuck in tiny apartments in cramped cities and take the train, bus or ride a bike. The US may not be sustainable but it has massively better QoL, I have so many friends who have moved to the US because you can live so much better with the same job.
Their rail company is almost $1T in debt.
I mean, if it can't handle requests like that, then it'll also not pass the Turing test (since asking the AI to do help with simple support request would get it to fail). I doubt that "thinking" systems are the only ones that can handle a support ticket (GPT-4 does quite alright on a lot of them already), at least if you require consciousness as a requirement for "thinking".

Maybe we just disagree on what we mean when we say "think"?
Depends entirely if you're his colleague or boss. To get good answers you have to ask good questions.
> > It's pretty hard to unscramble as a human.

A MINUTE! FOR 23 WORDS! Yes, the fact that you measured in units of the nearest minute for something so short is the sign of it being hard. Compare how long it takes you to read the unscrambled version.
> Lots of devices basically built on a DSP

There were many X terminals running off nothing but a Texas 34010, which was a very DSP-like CPU that ended up in a lot of high-end graphics acceleration boards for PCs and Macs (and Unix workstations).

The fact it could boot up an X server is quite extraordinary.

I wonder what the VideoCore looks like to the programmer.
Whats more impressive is when GPT3.5 or 4 are capable of not just unscrambling, but answering questions about text that is flat out wrong.

If you feed something like a bad transcript or some other very lossy (but not strictly scrambled) input.... it really can roll with it and just spit out correct information. Bad tokens in don't necessarily mean bad tokens out....

I'm sure there is a limit to how many tokens can be flat out bad before the "next token" in the response is thrown off, but after seeing what it can do with some of these inputs, the fact it can unscramble is not at all surprising/interesting.

Reminds me of the fun fact that (most) humans can fluently read text where you scramble all the letters of all the words as long as you keep the first and last character the same. I guess the brain is kind of permutation-invariant in recognizing words to some extent. GPT-4 works on tokens that are > 1 character in length though but at least some kind of token-permutation-invariance might be pretty intuitive just looking at the transformer architecture.

OK, the scrambling wasn't super-easy to read in this case, with the long words :)

Have you considered Linux?
Yeah and it's more or less a self-fulfilling prophecy that any company that gets a deal with OpenAI would also make for a good investment. The only way to avoid this kind of thing would be to say that leadership of a company isn't allowed to make investments in companies that are either in the same industry or have dealings with their employer.

You could certainly make an argument for that, but it's not at all the standard practice currently, so I wouldn't say it's fair to single out Sam in this case unless there's other evidence of self-dealing.
A cryptocurrency is supposed to be decentralized, but how do you verify that the biometrics that are registered in Worldcoin are genuine in a decentralized manner?

A complete rundown of Wall Street's 2024 stock market predictions
Such a shame that this era of the Internet is dead. Now everyone and their mum is on the net and things like TT have only worsened the quality of content. It's just a huge pool of reposted content, clout seeking, compliment seeking bs all with an annoying robotic voice over it (at least some of the YouTube bots have started using 11L I guess).

Sure, now the Internet is much like humanity itself, the average person likes football and celebrities like the kardashians, trashy shows like love island. But I really do miss the Internet back when it was uncool and geeky.

The Internet's been turned into TV.
> an autopost agent I’m trying to build

I understand the appeal of "how would you do that", but actually using such a thing seems extremely rude; the goal here is stimulating curiosity and sharing knowledge, and auto generating posts doesn't do that. If I wanted to read AI comments, I'd have an AI generate comments.
> > we've gotten to a point where people can pick and choose what is best for them!

These 2 things are at odds, which is why I posted. I agree with you, but we're not "at a point"... yet. GP might be, and to some degree I am too, but this is hardly universal nor even as widespread as GP posits.
Show HN: How to avoid paywalls with Google Translate
Paywalls are annoying in daily browsing (more in the weekends and mornings!).

https://archive.is/ is great but one thing I noticed is that not play nicely with content extraction services such as https://getpocket.com/ and I think it is more about Pocket recognizing the Archive Today service than other thing.

Google Translate is an alternative that currently works with content readers. Basically the hack is to just not use the translation at all putting the same language in the language origin and destination.
This is a fascinating idea.

I think you could hack a way to do this with BrowserBox: which, funnily enough, already "replaces web pages with their screenshots" (we stream the screenshots or screencast from the headless browser and serve it).

However to get what you really need, I see some difficulties:

- you could scroll the entire page first, stitch the screenshots together and then not update any further, but this breaks in some weird edge cases:

- dynamically loaded content which changes the scroll height as you move down, will not be loaded or displayed in this method reliably.
- this height change will then throw off any clicks that occur below it
- this will still not prevent banners and the like from occurring

- you could use the --print-to-pdf command line flag for Chrom/Edge/Brav/ium browsers. Not sure if hyperlinks work from these. But you could set up a basic proxy to take all HTTP and HTTPs requests and pass them through your headless "to pdf" render process if they do.

- if hyperlinks don't work in these pdfs you could use Playwright (or CDP if you're braver), to evaluate "document.links" property (see: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/li...), and just create a simple "list of links" HTML page templated from these and append that to the bottom of your PDF document (by using some command line tool in collab with your to-pdf proxy).

Anyway, fascinating idea, good luck with it! :)
