I suspect my frustration here is that although Inkscape's controls sort of look like Word or any number of other word processors, since it can modify a document's underlying XML, it requires keeping both paradigms in your head as you work.

I know people use it and like it, but in trying to get something done in a way that would save time, this approach didn't really click for me.

The opposite. Far too tolerant of the excuse "sorry, computer mistake." (But yeah, just at the same time as "the computer says so".)

That's ok, I get it: I have the exact same thing when I'm too focused on a problem. And then a week later or so it's like a light bulb going off and I feel very silly for having missed the obvious. But let's not give people ideas here, this is pretty dangerous territory and I don't think HN should turn into a cookbook for miscreants.
Excellent list, thank you for that. Implementing.

Maybe not if its the case that your use of the broken tool would result in the eventual undoing of your work. Like, lets say your staple gun is defective and doesn't shoot the staples deep enough, but it still shoots. You can keep using the gun, but it's not going to actually do its job. It seems useful and functional, but it isn't and its liable to create a much bigger mess.
It's bad dithering, but it's still dithering.

Random noise gives poor but fast results. Error diffusion is great but slow (pixels are processed sequentially).

My favorite technique is using a blue-noise matrix because it gives great results quickly. Creating the matrix is tricky, but you can do it offline and reuse it.
It’s there if employees want it and in eg many smaller companies there are no such agreements.

It’s up to the companies and unions to handle.

When Tesla has refused that for 5 years + have a global policy to refuse, then they are not handling it, which makes companies and unions react.

To be clear: Companies in Sweden largely prefer this model over one governed by law.
oh boy -- lot's of work ahead for you folks, best of luck! I'll be watching this project. We do a ton with GCP so when this matures we'll be looking at it more.

Maybe. Not always. Heads of state tend to be very well protected against such attacks for instance.
Competitive games is also a weird domain for measuring something like this. Optimal play can be both difficult to achieve, but have an incredible advantage. A 95th percentile player will lose to a 99th percentile player like 10 out of 10 times.

I mean shit, different blizzard game, but I was on a team that was somewhere around 99.9-99.99%, and if we went up against actual pro gamers (99.999%+), we'd lose 10 out of 10 times, and half the time we'd be unaware of why we lost (analogous to dan luu's "basic mistake", from the perspective of optimal play).

But on the flip side, we could literally play 2v3 and win 9.5 times out of 10 vs 97%-ile players. The advantage you get from seemingly small things in the game get amplified. For example if you just intuitively know when every ability comes off cooldown and becomes available again (both your own team and your opponents'), you can do things that seem otherwise impossible.

I don't think this translates all that well into a lot of other domains where it isn't a gamified hyper competitive / meta optimized scenario.
If you ask it to generate an image of Taylor Swift, it refuses. But if you ask it to generate an image of a popular celebrity singer performing the song "Blank Space", it generates an image that looks exactly like Taylor Swift some fraction of the time.
I pirate BECAUSE of my rights.

I used to buy loads of legit content. VHS macrovision degraded quality for "anti-piracy purposes". Basically it flashed contrast and automatic gain would fuck up.

Then it was DVD. This was probably the best format cause it was easy to rip. Again, ripping is illegal cause DMCA (Note: breaking DMCA is worse a crime than copyright infringement). Its yet another case where property rights are superseded by some bullshit intellectual right. These media fucks couldnt be happy to just sell content... they wanted to sell it again and again and again.

Then HD-DVD came out for a short while. Supported by MS and Xbox. I didnt buy it, and the format died. No big loss since everything that Im aware of was also published on Bluray.

And Bluray. It's a cracked format. Discs and players demand internet connection. Bunch of anti-purchaser crap. There's rippers for this stuff too.

And now, it's streaming streaming streaming. You never get any discs, and you never retain ownership of any shows. There is no more "loan buddy the DVD". You now have to provide the login, which is of course linked to your CC number. And because of "streaming", when you leave, you take nothing with you.

-------

Whereas piracy, I download it once, and I have it. It'll work on any device. I can back it up. I can put it on a media server. I can copy it to a friend (sharing is caring, right?). Nothing is fighting me tooth and nail each step.

So, even if I have enough money for as much music and videos as I want, why in the hell would I pay piles-o-money for garbage service, garbage quality media, abusive handling of customer, and little to nothing to show for money paid?

Nah, I'll stick with piracy. I get treated better in that avenue all around.

The important thing is that with Web Search as a user you can learn to adapt to varying information quality. I have a higher trust for Wikipedia.org than I do for SEO-R-US.com, and Google gives me these options.

With a chatbot that's largely impossible, or at least impractical. I don't know where it's getting anything from - maybe it trained on a shitty Reddit post that's 100% wrong, but I have no way to tell.

There has been some work (see: Bard, Bing) where the LLM attempts to cite its sources, but even then that's of limited use. If I get a paragraph of text as an answer, is the expectation really that I crawl through each substring to determine their individual provenances and trustworthiness?

The shape of a product matters. Google as a linker introduces the ability to adapt to imperfect information quality, whereas a chatbot does not.

As an exemplar of this point - I don't trust when Google simply pulls answers from other sites and shows it in-line in the search results. I don't know if I should trust the source! At least there I can find out the source from a single click - with a chatbot that's largely impossible.
See, this is totally my opposite experience. SDXL handles styles incredibly well... With style prompting.

I'm not sure what you were trying to say here about telegram, but they are completely unencrypted, for nearly all intents and purposes messages are stored in plaintext on the server. They just succeeded impressively in twisting that fact away via marketing.
You are making an imaginary distinction that doesn't exist. It doesn't even make any sense in the context of the paper i linked.

The model consistently and purposefully withheld knowledge it was directly aware of. This is lying under any useful definition of the word. You're veering off into meaningless philosophy that has no bearing on outcomes and results.
Clojure is not only on JVM. There's Clojurescript. There's ClojureDart. There's ClojureCLR. There a bunch of experimental things like ClojureRS (Rust) and Clojerl (for Erlang). You can "talk to" Python and R from Clojure. You can use Fennel if you need to deal with Lua (It's not Clojure, but it's very Clojure-like lang). The benefits are there, for any platform you choose.
Quantum physics does lots of fuzzy things that look like they'd have to violate thermodynamics, but "really don't" due to uncertainty mainly.
I find Automatic1111 better for point and click simplicity. ComfyUI has been good for custom flows.

Also Automatic1111 is more centralized, so you have to wait for something to make its way in (or a pull request for it anyhow), whereas people put up their ComfyUI custom JSON workflows. So I am doing Stable Diffusion video via ComfyUI right now, whereas it has not made its way into Automatic1111.
So what? Movie plot scenarios do not need to reflect reality.

I can easily imagine hopping on the next Pan Am rocket service to Luna City.

I can easily imagine using a space laser to kill that same human.

I can easily imagine taking a bridge from Key West to Cuba.

I can easily imagine taking a pill to regrow an amputated leg.

Just because you can easily imagine a POC doesn't mean it's doable in our lifetimes.

What are you going to target in the DNA? Is it a single short sequence or multiple markers across the genome? How does the bioweapon sequence that DNA to find it? How does that then trigger the appropriate biological response? How do you prevent mutations? What infectious organism will you use? How do you know the target isn't already immune to that infection?

Even if you expand on one or two of these in convincing detail (congrats on your future Nobel Prize, by the way), that's still not enough for the idiots in the world to make a usable weapon.

And so many easier ways to kill someone exist.

I can squat 315, DL 425, bench about 230. Done 100-115 strict overhead press. I train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Plenty of guys stronger than me that I train with. I also go to a gym once in a while. I am solidly middle of the pack, especially considering I weigh 200 lbs. maybe if you are at planet fitness or something. Otherwise these numbers only take a bit of dedicated work to achieve. You would not look at me and think much based in my build and appearance.
There's nothing wrong with what you're saying, but what do you suggest? Factuality is an area of active research, and Deepmind goes into some detail in their technical paper.

The models are too useful to say, "don't use them at all." Hopefully people will heed the warnings of how they can hallucinate, but further than that I'm not sure what more you can expect.
The sound of SID comes from its architectural decisions and how the die behaves as an integrated circuit.

IIRC, SID has no real mute on the outputs, so oscillators and output stage is always active. This, in turn, injects its legendary background noise to the generated sound regardless of there's a wave being generated or not.

Moreover, the distortion itself is coming from the internal noise of the die itself, as a secondary effect of being an integrated circuit, plus its fabrication technology.

As a result, the sound of a SID chip is result of its design plus the secondary effects introduced because of its fabrication process.

This is what makes simulating a SID very hard. You need to characterize and formulate these secondary effects and inject them to your pure generation (design) simulation real-time, without much processing overhead.

This is really hard. Maybe not in the math department, but integration, coding, optimization and stabilization department.

P.S.: This is why Machinae Supremacy started making music with real SID chips.

That's definitely a good reason why, but perhaps if iOS or Android were to research what the best layout is for typical touch screen typing and release that as a new default, people would find it quite quick to learn a second layout and soon get just the benefits?

After all, with TVs I've had the same experience as you with the annoying alphabetical keyboard, but we type into they maybe a couple of times a year, or maybe once in 5 years, whereas if we changed our phone keyboard layout we'd likely get used to it quite quickly.

Even if not going so far as to push it as a new default for all users (I'm willing to accept the possibility that I'm speaking for myself as the kind of geeky person who wouldn't mind the initial inconvenience of a new kb layout if it meant saving time in the long run, and that maybe a large majority of people would just hate it too much to be willing to give it a chance), they could at least figure out what the best layout is (maybe this has been studied and decided already, by somebody?) and offer that as an option for us geeks.
I find 48V a lot less scary when cars are involved than 12V. Neither is particularly likely to electrocute me, but 48V comes with fuses that will trip at 1/4 the current, giving 1/16 the resistive heating if something shorts, which is a lot less likely to melt or ignite things. Also, the wires are much smaller :)

Hold on, there's a sleight of hand here. You're trying to compare all of email against WhatsApp. Now, it's possible that if you took transactional email out of the picture, and just stuck with interpersonal communication, WhatsApp could beat email. But that doesn't matter, because in this discussion, the figure of merit is encrypted email, and on that metric, every single one of those platforms on their own roflstomps email for daily usage.

much respect to rsync -- I believe it was a press CalFIRE event during one of the many ultra-serious fires, and I did not record that video. The interaction was distinct in my mind however, for the reason stated here. The town was a smaller town on the edge of a large forested area. The scope-creep and instant-authority of it all, as bad as that is, is dwarfed by the loss of life and property, flora and fauna during the wildfire. In the execution of emergency duties however, all the rules of engagement should be ON, IMHO.

fake benchmarks, fake stitched together videos, disingenuous charts, no developer API on launch, announcements stuffed with marketing fluff.

As soon as I saw that opening paragraph from Sundar and how it was written I knew that Gemini is going to be a steaming pile of shit.

They should have watched the GPT-4 announcement from OpenAI again. That demo Greg Brockman did with converting a sketch on a piece of paper to a CodePen from a Discord channel, with all the error correcting and whatnot, is how you launch a product that's appealing to users.

TechCrunch, Twitter and some other sites (including HN i guess) are already piling on to this and by Monday things will go back to how they were and Google will have to go back to the drawing board to figure out another way to relaunch Gemini in the future.
Yeah. I think there's some ambiguity around the meaning of reasoning- because it is a kind of reasoning to say a Duck's material is less dense than water. In a way it's reasoned that out, and it might actually say something about the way a lot of human reasoning works.... (especially if you've ever listened to certain people talk out loud and say to yourself... huh?)
I, a non-AGI, just ‘hallucinated’ yesterday. I hallucinated that my plan was to take all of Friday off and started wondering why I had scheduled morning meetings. I started canceling them in a rush. In fact, all week I had been planning to take a half day, but somehow my brain replaced the idea of a half day off with a full day off. You could have asked me and I would have been completely sure that I was taking all of friday off.
Well, they're not poor, they're just not wealthy. They're not Rwanda or Angola, and they've got most of the world beat, but they're not what they once were. Europe peaked during the colonial period, and it turns out, there is no special sauce that makes them more successful than the rest of the world, they're just countries on the planet same as anyone else.

Regardless, the UK in particular and Europe in general can't continue to pretend that they can socially fund every need under the sun.

A canoe floats, and that doesn't even command any thought regarding whether you can replace trapped air with a vacuum. If you had a giant cube half full of water, with a boat on the water, the boat would float regardless of whether the rest of the cube contained air or vacuum, and regardless of whether the boat traps said air (like a pontoon) or is totally vented (like a canoe). The overall density of the canoe is NOT influenced by its shape or any air, though. The canoe is strictly more dense than water (it will sink if it capsizes) yet in the correct orientation it floats.

What does matter, however, is the overall density of the space that was water and became displaced by the canoe. That space can be populated with dense water, or with a less dense canoe+air (or canoe+vacuum) combination. That's what a rubber duck also does: the duck+air (or duck+vacuum) combination is less dense than the displaced water.
I actually reached out to him to see if he would sign a copy of the book for my daughter, with whom I read the book during COVID. He was happy to do so, and did the same for his new book on the economics of sports.

Not really. They already chose to show the benchmark where it does best and even then it’s still quite a bit worse (though definitely impressive for its size).
If you take a look at other benchmarks, for example MMLU@5-shot then this does 46.3, while gpt-3.5 does 70.

But there might be some use cases where this one is close enough in performance and the difference in cost and speed make it a better choice.
> There are these boutique one-man contracting shops, which are closed most of the time in places like Shanghai and Shenzhen.

That's not just a China thing, nor is it suspicious all by itself. I made a good living in the US doing exactly the same thing for years.

The specific shops you're talking about may have been nefarious (I don't know), but the mere existence of private contractors is not inherently suspicious. They're pretty common.
