I’d be very interested to see if you send two samples in fully anonymously to see how much they differ. I don’t trust the accuracy of these low cost, high throughput methods.

It took scientists ~18 years to sequence the first genome, I know that was ~15 years ago but they did have huge budgets.
You didn't answer my question. How is it dependent?

I'm sure most people reading it understood that.

> It would be comical if not tragic that we actually fund people producing such “research”.

Could you actually explain what's wrong with it? Maybe we're reading a different article?
I asked a clarifying question and then made an assertion about a behavior. I personally wouldn’t call that “aggressive”, but to each their own I suppose.

The UN is just repeating the same gazan ministry of health numbers, as the link points it explicitly.

And yes, it's not a secret that in addition to the hundreds of civilians that Hamas targeted, it also attacked military bases. (Though also worth mentioning that it's illegal to kill soldiers too, if they've surrendered and/or don't have weapons on them.)

But yes, I think Hamas targeting bases is one reason I consider this to be an invasion into Israel. Since Hamas has promised to invade again and again, it's very clear that it cannot be lived with peacefully.
I see you've just joined this thread, so perhaps you missed the context that it was about democratic elections.
The Front Page (the Broadway play) will also enter the public domain in 2024, even though it's hard to imagine a better adaptation than His Girl Friday from 1940.

> And, um...how would you even "manually copy" music to an iPhone or iPad? The only way I know of puts it in the Files app, rather than the Music app, leaving it unable to be played "as music" (though you can, of course, still play the audio files one by one).

There are a couple of ways. You can import it via iTunes/Finder into the Files container, like you said. The stock Music app won’t read and play it, but third-party music player apps will.
Another option is to import it into your Apple Music library, f/k/a iTunes library.
That way, it’s playable in the stock Music app and available on other devices as well (although it might need an Apple Music subscription, not sure).

Apple used to have a 4% market share (and declining) of the PC industry before Jobs came back, and was seen as a joke and failure of a company because of it.

But, it’s okay for Firefox to own 2-3% market share?
What an extraordinarily detailed writeup.
Those effort are always a bit iffy since those very same companies go to great length to lock third party controllers out of their ecosystem, as well as fail to support even their very own controllers from previous console generations.

If real accessibility would be the goal, they could just open up their ecosystem and make proper use of USB and Bluetooth so everybody can build their own controller and keep using them across console generations as well as consoles from different manufacturers.
Currency is a really weird one.

Historically currency was the legitimacy multiplier, but it was about getting the god-king’s face on the coinage, not setting economic policy.

Nowadays governments are pretty indifferent about whose face is on the currency. And they’re likewise indifferent about economic sovereignty.
Based on your comment below I think you figured out the difference - but if you're looking to execute untrusted Javascript from Javascript in Node or the browser, you can pick between ShadowRealm (where available, or using a polyfill) or my library quickjs-emscripten.

Pros of quickjs-emscripten over ShadowRealm:

- You can use quickjs today in any browser with WASM. ShadowRealm isn't available yet, and polyfills have had security issues in the past. See https://www.figma.com/blog/an-update-on-plugin-security/

- In ShadowRealm eval, untrusted code can consume arbitrary CPU cycles. With QuickJS, you can control the CPU time used during an `eval` using an [interrupt handler] that's called periodically during the eval.

- In ShadowRealm eval, untrusted code can allocate arbitrary amounts of memory. With QuickJS, you can control both the [stack size] and the [heap size] available inside the runtime.

- quickjs-emscripten can do interesting things with custom module loaders and facades that allow synchronous code inside the runtime to call async code on the host.

Pros of ShadowRealm over QuickJS:

- ShadowRealm will (presumably?) execute code using your native runtime, probably v8, JavaScriptCore, or SpiderMonkey. Quickjs is orders of magnitude slower than JIT'd javascript performance of v8 etc. It's also slower than v8/JSC's interpreters, although not by a huge amount. See [benchmarks] from 2019.

- You can easily call and pass values to ShadowRealm imported functions. Talking to quickjs-emscripten guest code requires a lot of fiddly and manual object building.

- Overall the quickjs(-emscripten) API is verbose, and requires manual memory management of references to values inside the quickjs runtime.

TechCrunch runs on WordPress, so at least wp.com is a legit domain to have on this list.
No, you can't. Property exists. You can replace the word intellectual with "personal," "private," "public," etc. But removing it does not work. Property is not a legal fiction. Who the property belongs to is.
Very Cool! This is going to really speed up development
1. We always knew the Turing test was insufficient.

2. The Chinese Room argument can invite itself back out, as always. It was never more than an intuition pump and not a very good one.

3. Universal Grammar doesn't really figure into it one way or the other. LLMs don't work the way we do, despite being "neural". They get their basic grammar from a very different place. Chomsky's arguments are doing fine, though this is a great time to look at them through new lenses.
There are three maturity levels, do not confuse them:

0: We ship to production whenever, why not? If stuff breaks, oops. People make mistakes.

1: We have processes in place to avoid bad releases. These include such measures as people agreeing to avoid Friday releases, and requiring manager approval of releases.

2: The processes are automated, and high enough quality that we can be confident that clicking the "go" button" will either result in the build/test/deploy pipeline halting due to a problem, or a good release going to production. We have no issue with Friday releases, or releases whenever.

Allen Holub is broadly correct. And if that author's "bigger release" happens a lot, then release size is more the issue.
I haven’t personally used a Niche, but have studied them a bit and think they might be a high water mark in the performance/$. A busy cafe I frequent uses them commercially (modified, for extra cooling) with success.
If you do 3D printing, make furniture, or anything like that, you can sometimes carry over ideas from programming.

Once you've built something yourself, you start seeing problems like "Oh, this assembly has multiple parts that all need to be done in place, how can I change it so I can build it all in the shop and just screw it in".

But with software, we try as hard as we can to make it impossible to mess up.

With physical goods, we seem to prefer things that can be messed up, things that only look good with expensive materials, etc. Things that by their existence, demonstrate the skill of the maker, and the wealth of the buyer.

We don't really know what the limits of pocket screws joinery and cardboard tabletops are, because... nobody is trying to make something out of cardboard that lasts a century, they just assume it will be thrown away.

With software, we start with the assumption that no programmer is up to the challenge, nobody will ever understand a large system, no user will ever be competent, etc, and figure out how to make amazing things anyway.
I use a lot of Linux, from Ubuntu to Arch (actually) via Debian, Rasbian and more.

That's not my experience. (edit) and why disconnect from the internet anyway and how do you actually do that? I think you are confused about internet and ethernet.
I imagine that the clumps being discussed here are much smaller and much more electrostaticly attached than a NDT can deal with.
> However, the difference being that there was a 2014 revolution in Ukraine, and Ukraine did subsequently become aligned with the US, and the US is extremely aggressive toward its enemies and has been inciting anti-Russia hatred for many years.

The reason for the rise of anti-Russian hatred since 2014 is the invasion Russia launched, and the murdering, looting and raping that Russians brought with them.

The US hasn't been inciting shit; it has been a major moderating power hoping to calm down the situation to maintain stability. This is particularly clear after the full-scale invasion in 2022. Ukraine started getting significant military aid only after news channels across the world began showing uncovered mass graves all day long and withholding ai became untenable. And to this day, the military aid remains modest compared to actual needs, out of fear that Russia could break apart if the war escalated. Ukraine is still not allowed to use foreign weapons against targets in Russia, while Russia performs daily drone and missile attacks all over Ukraine.

The US has always preferred Russia as a normal, developed and stable country that they could do business with, often at the expense of the freedom and security of millions of Europeans. For example, I am old enough to remember how Bush senior[1] told us not to rock the boat when we were weeks away from declaring independence during the fall of the USSR, because the US preferred to work with the singular USSR as they always had instead of having to deal with a patchwork of newly independent countries.

My guess is this reading, but the grammar is so broken that it's not at all obvious or clear that I've guessed right:

“three missionaries and three cannibals must cross a river using a boat which can carry at most two people, but these are nice cannibals so they don't eat people under these constraints: for both banks, if there are missionaries present on the bank, they can be outnumbered by cannibals (if they were, the cannibals would not eat the missionaries). The boat cannot cross the river by itself with no people on board how to solve this?"

In other words, I think what they tried to express is that on the banks the missionaries are safe even if outnumbered. But in the boat they are not. So the rule would be that a missionary can't be in a boat with a cannibal.

If so, a solution is:

- Send two cannibals over

- Send one back with the boat.

- Send two missionaries over - here's where rule matters, as the remaining missionary is now on the bank with two cannibals, but that's fine.

- Send one missionary back

- Send two missionaries over. All missionaries are now on the same side.

- Send one cannibal back.

- Send two cannibals over.

Still, I think the closest you can get to being "right" on this is to offer up a possible reading of the rules, solve it given that reading is right and ask for a confirmation. I think I wouldn't accept an answer as "correct" here without seeking clarification about whether you got the rules right, as just assuming a given reading is unreasonable when it's this unclear.
Actually, something like a "zotero for argparse" would be cool. Where you enter arguments, their type, help string, defaults etc in a gui and then you can check the ones you need for a given python script and copy the relevant python code into your paste buffer.

I don't think it would be a massive time saver however what I usually do now is find some previous script that had similar arguments and copy them, and then copy-paste-edit to add new arguments.

The other advantage is you could enter the arguments agnostically and export as whatever language you're working in.

Do both.

Biometric to unlock phone, PIN to load 2FA auth app, and a password to actually login.

Actually, I am reminded of the 00s when companies used to have badges and badge readers you'd take home and plugin to your machine and you had to use those to authenticate connections.

Password + physical token. It was secure, but not convenient if you left your badge behind somewhere.

It wasn't wireless, no worries about snooping.

When it did work, it was magic. My Active Directory credentials automatically carried over between machines, across networks, for debugging purposes to dev boxes, and I was even able to step from C# code running locally into a stored procedures on a remove SQL server all from within (the OG) Visual Studio.

Nothing works anything near that well anymore. :(

You can be certain that in western countries you will have copyright trolls tracking/investigating all that... to reach some corps wallets... don't you worry.

Yes, that's what I mean as well.

It's between 7B and 13B in terms of VRAM usage and 70B in terms of performance.

Tim Dettmers (QLoRA creator) released code to run Mixtral 8x7b in 4GB of VRAM. (But it benchmarks better than Llama-2 70B).
Quite interesting that Turing thought 125MB would be all it would take to reach AGI. To him it must have seemed such a large amount of storage
Right.. it's also called 'news.ycombinator' which is certainly not an organization which would ever support abolishing copyright. Besides it's also a terrible idea, not having copyright would stifle innovation for years.

It's probably one of the best things humanity ever came up with (good luck making money being a writer in the the pre copyright days...).

Depression is a complex disease that can be caused my many factors. It's actually more a whole class of illnesses. As a consequence, there is no such thing as "the best antidepressant"; some antidepressant work on some of the cause and some other work on some other cause.

The whole "antidepressant don't work" feeling is caused precisely because we expect them to work on all cases and finding the right molecule - and dosage - is hard. But make no mistake, the drugs we have right now sometimes work amazingly well, for some people.

Psilocybin - if it actually shows long term improvements under double blinded studies - will just be more tool in the arsenal, but will not be the miracle cure some predict it to be.
Very lucky they had that mastermind crew. The facts they had to keep within 3 knots of an ideal landing speed indicates how hard this was to get out of. They landed 150m from end of runway (perfect for the scenario). Amazing.

This is a completely different argument than the one you used one comment above, where you accepted the statement that there were borders defined for Palestine in 1947 and said that the Arabs rejected that definition. Would you like to clarify exactly which facts you are going to be using?

ad 3) If the claim of Chomsky (followers) is that you can only learn human language if you have the universal grammar, then the discovery of a system that learns human languages without such a grammar does seem like rather relevant to the discussion
The answer is yes if you have a 24GB GPU. Just wait for 4bit quantization.

Or watch Tim Dettmers, who is releasing code to run Mixtral 8x7b in just 4GB of RAM.

Huge fan of the Arc browser. The UX is really smooth and intuitive. It also declutters UI and provides some nice hints.

I usually go to the url box to copy the url. one day, it suggested me to use a keyboard shortcut instead based on how often I did it. Little things like this that are built-in to the experience without having to install plugins and make sure they work together is a breath of fresh air.
I've always felt the Chinese Room thought experiment was founded on a complete misunderstanding of bilingualism. The only "algorithm" that can effectively transform text between English and Chinese would be one that understands the source and target texts like a human. So the Chinese Room is really just a more complicated Turing Test - a computer can only convince an observer that it "understands Chinese" if it is also able to convince an observer that it understands the conversation the same way as a human, in either language.
It seems that Jira is so unbearably universally slow that lots of people tries to interact with it via some custom made tool.

A friend of mine told that one of his jobs he developed simple internal Qt client to perform basic tasks in Jira.

And when I was required to track my tasks in Jira I created a bunch of custom console scripts make all changes via https://github.com/go-jira/jira .
Very insightful. I think people would, maybe, argue that a lot of the features in these niche browsers are actually plugins in disguise. Thoughts? I think the issue with plugins is people don't actually use them save ad blockers.

Do you have software that automatically fixes this issue in all the pictures at once? Because as a non-professional I can only think of a very manual approach.

On my old phone, dust made its way into one of the cameras and now all of those photos are forever ruined (or until I find a way to somewhat automate this fixing)
Reading articles and seeing videos about airline disasters tends to increase my faith in flying rather than making me more afraid of it. Terrorism or sabotage aside, so many failures have to compound to put a modern airliner in a truly irrecoverable state that it's effectively impossible to happen and not worth my time to even worry about. What times we live in that we can hurtle ourselves across oceans at hundreds of miles per hour and be in substantially no more danger than we would be walking down a sidewalk in our home town (in before HN commenters reply with information about all the dangers associated with sidewalks).
I am very new to this field, so forgive my ignorance when I ask super basic questions.

1. Does chat-with-pdfs function work with scanned PDFs?
2. In the video example for chat-with-pdfs you show uploading a document interactively. The part of processing is quite slow. Can the tool be fed these documents offline as well?

My use case for each user, there are many, to have their own list of documents that they upload. They come back later, after the LLM has had a chance to process all documents and can ask questions about their own documents only.

Is something like this possible?
Good to see the benefits of telemetry, which the FOSS is typically skeptical of: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2023/10/down-and-to-the-right-fire... .

I'll make sure FF telemetry is enabled for me. I typically disable them because I don't trust vendors to not include something I consider sensitive.

> They could add so many features to make the lives of academics, researchers, journalists and professionals in general better. Who cares if it's a bit slower than Chrome if it allows to efficently write my article or keep together the sources for my thesis?

They don't want to settle for a niche for academics, their mission is to be a popular mainstream browser (even if they're failing at that ATM).
Respectfully, I disagree strongly with you.

Apple isn't serious about inclusive design in hardware. Their software UX leads are some of the most brilliant figures in the fight for accessible computing, but their hardware is almost universally bad for accessibility. For people with sufficiently-advanced dyskinesia, even the most generous software accessibility settings aren't super helpful. It took them thirteen major releases of their operating system to offer pointer events using external hardware, broken pointer events, which was more or less the only way in which people with motor disabilities could make the system usable at all.

If Apple is an example of disabled people in an organization being serious about inclusive design in a way that is "easy," then that reflects incredibly poorly on the disabled engineers and designers working at Apple and the possibilities of inclusive design as a liberating force.

People at Microsoft worked hard on the Adaptive Controller. It was hard, and it took years. It is an incredible feat of empathy in engineering.
