It says a lot about how we evaluate AI these days, and how we move the goalposts at hypersonic speed, that the summary of benchmarking this astounding leap in AI capabilities is 'AI unable to innovate, only imitate' instead of 'AI goes from zero to near-human level in just a few years, no limit in sight'.

Show HN: Speedrun – Markdown to build tools (OSS)
You go to the docs to do something but there's no button to click on to do it. Further, there's all that nonsense of getting credentials, gathering and formatting inputs and finding and replacing text. Enter Speedrun, simple markdown that lets you build tools right into your documentation where they belong. It powers up your README's, runbooks and documentation with the ability to prompt for inputs, run JavaScript, get temporary AWS credentials and reference configuration. Now instead of merely telling your users what to do, they can solve their exact problem with a click. Think of it like a Jupyter notebook but on top of GitHub markdown.

In its current incarnation, it runs as a TamperMonkey script that finds Speedrun blocks in your GitHub repo and lights them up. It can be used to wrap a command line with a ui, federate to an exact location in the AWS console, as a ui for authorizing and invoking an AWS Lambda or Step Function and many other use cases like building a SQL statement. The neat thing is that you aren't really building new tools, you're speedrunning the tools you already use by wrapping them to make them faster, safer and easier. And since it's markdown, you can build a tool your team can instantly use in less time than it takes to complain about the problem.

Here's an example that will allow only authorized users to get temporary credentials and invoke an AWS Lambda function with some json it builds based on the name it prompts you for.

```

#!lambda {functionName:"HelloWorldService"}

{

"name": "~~~Name {default:'Samuel L. Jackson'}~~~"

}

```

You can see the above example in action, see the sizzle reel with more use cases and play around in my AWS accounts with the live demo at the website:

https://speedrun.cc

The script is licensed under the MIT license and it's the perfect time to try it. From now until January 15, 2024, I'm running a fun contest called "Done before the bass drops." You'll use Speedrun to speedrun AWS in less than 90 seconds while EDM plays in the background and you need to be "Done before the bass drops."
Cells, tissues, and organs undertake a variety of self-maintenance behaviors without the direction of the brain. Although low-level behaviors like these are abundant, high-level examples also exist, like when an arm pulls away from a hot stove as soon as the signal reaches the spinal cord. The organism is a recursive system, with sub-systems behaving with varying degrees of autonomy while also depending on the larger system. The seat of consciousness possesses only a limited view.

Well... they could transition the data to tape with a delay for recovering it, instead of outright deleting it.
At that point, storing it would be pretty much free no?
Regardless, they promised something, then reneged, with little to no time to handle it.
The way they handled it in terms of getting rid of the service is pretty terrible.

Those are great links. I’ve been using:

I totally agree with LLM+CLI are perfect fit.

One pattern I used recently was httrack + w3m dump + sgpt images with gpt vision to generate a 278K token specific knowledge base with a custom perl hack for a RAG that preserved the outline of the knowledge.

Which brings me to my question for you - have you seen anything unix philosophy aligned for processing inputs and doing RAG locally?

EDIT. Turns out OP has done quite a bit toward what I’m asking. Written up here:

https://simonwillison.net/2023/Oct/23/embeddings/

Something I’m currently a bit hung up on is finding a toolchain for chunking content on which to create embeddings. Ideally it would detect location context, like section “2.1 Failover” or “Chapter 8: The dream” or whatever from the original text, also handle 80 character wide source unwrapping, smart splitting so paragraphs are kept together, etc etc.
From their last product release:

> As always, you are in control of your data with ChatGPT.

Which is a flat-out lie. You can allegedly opt-out of them using your data for training, but you are still sending your data to a private corporation for processing/etc. which makes it totally unsuitable for handling sensitive or restricted data.
The first two are just lying. The third is only not lying if you assume that he's extremely stupid; otherwise he would have learned by now that he's bad at estimating these sorts of things, and adjusted.
Their departments are so big yet they solve the problem in shittiest way using third world standards.

As much as the article frames carcinogenesis as an active process, couldn't there also be a whole class of immunotoxins - the exposed of which could disrupt the body's ability to identify and eliminate neoplasms?

Maybe this illustrates a gap in my physiology/immunology knowledge, but I thought that neoplasms were routinely identified and eliminated by the immune system. A disruption in this immune-system neoplasm detection homeostasis could make certain non-mutagenic chemicals effectively appear as carcinogens.
That would be a different test, methinks?

You're assuming that the taste is only affected by what it's being served in, not how the liquid was transported. For all we know, aluminum imparts some sort of off-flavor into the Coke itself that the OP doesn't like, in which case it wouldn't matter if he decants it into a glass first--it would already have been "tainted" by being held in the aluminum can.
Innovation probably isn't as wanted as you think.

While profiling benefits immensely, imagine all the other ramifications. Cheap tracing of MySQL, postgres, or anything else using bpftrace or any other bcc tools. Getting stack traces of processes that are already core dumping...

Profiling is one part, but the debuggability this enables is going to be huge in the long term I predict.
In the world where everyone’s racing to get more money, it’s amazing that people can still think money doesn’t matter.

Can I use this comment (anonymized of course) as example in the next course I teach on regression stats? Because it's the exact opposite of how you're supposed to do regression inference. Selecting feature sets by beta alone is a recipe for disaster.

Consider the following example:

A + B => Y (one A and one B causes one Y)
A => 2Z (two A causes one Z)

If you have a data set featuring B, Z, and Y then a regression analysis will yield that Y = 2Z + B, and you would conclude that Z is "a root cause" of Y over B. However, by construction Z has no causal effect on Y, only B does. This is literally the point of "correlation does not imply causation".

Moreover, the white-paper the op-ed author is citing [0] doesn't even have "fatherlessness" as the most correlated variable: it's poverty across the board (and by a lot). Even if your argument was sound it wouldn't be correct.

How is it “maintained afloat” by government money, when it receives no subsidies? The only government payment for starlink that I am aware of is for the terminals in Ukraine.
I don't remember seeing too many of those billboards, but I'll take your word that they're out there. Most of the billboards I recall seeing are telling me all my dreams will come true if I go to a tribal casino. I still think most people just look up local restaurants on their phones. I can't imagine the lack of billboards would hurt too many small, local restaurants.
> Except that the word, "recall", doesn't have two different meanings.

To the car owner who has to deal with a “recall”, it functionally does.

One type of a recall requires you to drive to a dealership/service center and leave your car there while the issue is being resolved. The other type requires you to do nothing aside from just waiting for the OTA update to install.
> They are not that strapped for cash.

Exactly - because they were/are getting boatloads of cash from the government. There is no shame in that.
> their “Done” or “Close” buttons on top, which are equivalent to “back”

Are they though? The former are for a modal, back is for a stack.

Apple likes to have a strong model of where things came from. Animations, verbs and gestures follow from that. In my experience of Android, things just appear/disappear with often arbitrary animations, which add nothing, it's like a cargo cult says an animation must go here but it doesn't matter which one. I prefer iOS's consistency here.
Yeah, that's not how culture works, or ever worked. You don't need to be omni-dominant in a "large portion of the world". Most works of culture are seen, read, or heard by a relatively small part of the world, and they all contribute strands to a larger tapestry. Some strands are wider ("most influential") and/or longer ("remembered longer") than others, but every strand is part of culture. If you were to pick up a guitar and started singing at the local pub then that's culture too. No, it's not the reach of the Rolling Stones or whatnot, but that doesn't mean it's not culture.
That doesn’t negate the fact that he wields power against others when it meets his needs. He’s effective, I don’t dispute that, but still needs a metaphorical cage built around him to protect others.

I've written it about two times actually, but deletions have eaten it.

If we've done it before, we can do it again. The key is navigable access to the right information which is sadly dependent on A) willingness to document, and B) structuring of the set of data for navigable retrieval.

Both were problems we've got solved. Not in the Internet of course. Not anymore, but in libraries.

Also, I reject where the goalposts of the accomplishments of the person in question are stated to arbitrarily end. Nothing keeps one from diving into these secondary areas or specialties. Only perhaps the obstacle of having to be profittable while doing it. And that's what I reject. I do not hold the prevailing wisdom that knowing the Riddle of Mice is intractable to a singular human being. I hold it is intractable to a member of a social system wherein profitable engagement of every member as guided by some subpopulation might tend to make it seem intractable by any member of the governed group. That's a far cry from true ineffability however.
Biggest lesson is to setup billing alerts for any service like that. Put it 20% above normal usage and then you'll get a fairly immediate warning.

Won't save some of it if you're sleeping, but can definitely reduce the time someone has to run up bills.
That's an excellent point. There's a survivorship bias here. Perhaps fatherlessness doesn't cause crime so much as it makes you more vulnerable to the criminal justice system.
> In many cases a major obstacle is your deeply seated belief that you are not interesting. And since convincing yourself that you are interesting is probably not going to happen, take it off the table. Think, ‘Perhaps I’m not interesting but I am the only thing I have to offer, and I want to offer something. And by offering myself in a true way I am doing a great service to the world, because it is rare and it will help.’
thanks for the pointer, I'll update my issue to reference that PR
Ah… I think I vaguely remember a similar older program that would (optionally, of course!) as a funny option delete the files when you “defeated” them.

In what world would it be reasonable to expect Google to pay thousands of dollars per year indefinitely to store your data for free?
Starlink was never designed to be faster than fibre, and it was certainly never designed or intended for use by people that ave access to fibre (or cable, or LTE for that matter).

SpaceX have re-iterated this on many, many occasions.

Anyone who things otherwise simply doesn't understand the product.

Starlink is designed for people who live in remote areas that have no access to any of that.

Go out right now and see how life changing it is for those people. All across Northern Canada & rural Australia I've met dozens of people who previously had access to dial-up AT BEST in 2022, and now have solid broadband connections.
And yet Linux has consistently out preformed macOS in terms of throughput.
I completely agree with this comment. I could have spent all day on my C64 without even having a game to play or knowing how to code beyond PRINT and GOTO. Hacking around on a computer back in the 80s made me feel like I was part of a secret club and that, at any moment, I was going to live out War Games or some such (especially once we had a modem). The possibilities seemed limitless!

Pro tip for performance optimisation in Ubuntu (you also gain more RAM):

Remove snap (or choose a Ubuntu distro variant like Pop OS without snap)
there's literally a full section on that page called "Text rendering support" (with examples)
Maybe not a way to 'beat' them per se, but I wonder if support could be a good differentiator for some companies here? Silicon Valley companies, especially the FAANG ones, treat customer support as an afterthought at best, with Google and co doing everything in their power not to try and automate all of it.

If you don't have a need to expand to everyone in the world in the chase for infinite growth, having a company that's actually possible to get in contact with can be valuable in many areas, especially if your customers are large corporations or those willing to pay more for the privilege.

Similarly, see Kagi and their paid search offering. It's clear there's money to be made there, but it likely won't be enough to appeal to venture capitalists and FAANG companies, so that gives them something of a unique selling point/market.
yes, and I've used it a good bit the past 6 months. I've almost paid for the premium version several times - but it's subscription to rent online without ads, not pay and own.

I prefer pay and own offline, (no faith in anything cloud being accessible forever).

The learning curve has been steeper with affinity designer and photo - but I feel more secure knowing it will work day after day, no subscription, no internet required.

Much to like about photopea - couldn't stand that video ads would keep running even if I had left that tab/window and been in other tabs for hours - and they have an adblocker-blocker that says you can't use without ads (or paying for premium, which I totally would if it could work offline)

I do think it's good to know how to use, and there are good tutorials for pea and affinity (And corel) on youtube.. so it's a nice tool to know and use in a pinch, best if you save and close the window - which is not my normal method of operation.
I don't know what to say here anymore. Is this city not capable of collecting taxes? Is this how they pay for any sort of public infrastructure? What monopoly did they exchange to have some private company build and maintain roads, pipes and cables?
That's a non sequitur.

Cryptocurrencies failure to live up to the hype has almost nothing to do with algorithms or technological issues.
No, it is not, and we are quite sure of this. The fatherhood correlation never survives any control for family-level factors, like comparing siblings or looking at kids who lose their father to accidents. And none of the evidence cited by OP addresses this or provides real evidence of causality, much less hyperbolic claims of it being biggest.
Eh, most small to medium size towns in the US have ordinances and zoning restrictions that effectively outlaw this type of fixed advertising. Many outlaw billboards and Businesses can only have a single sign and it has to be within a certain size.

You can still advertise in those areas, you just have to do it through mediums like bulletins, mailers, sponsorships, media and print -- things that are generally easier to avoid and opt-out of.
Except in this particular case cloud storage is a very competitive space with dozens of competitors.
Possibly, but then don't make promises and have the audacity to charge for it
Not if that bikeshare service captures all their profits by having a monopoly on ads.

That is true, but the 6800 came with a massive ecosystem, all available directly from Motorola! They had reams of useful documentation, including complete, tested implementation guides for things like POS terminals, early simple ECUs, smart disk subsystems, etc. You could build all of those things with chips bought directly from Motorola, engineered to be 100% compatible and easy to interface. For many small systems, you didn't need any non-Motorola parts other than passives.

I guess the flip side was, Motorola had to create all that in-house, and the price of the ecosystem reflected that. MOS dumped cheap chips into the world at just the right time and got hobbyists to do the work for free, sometimes with superior results. Probably no one could've seen that coming in 1975.
There's no continue. And your share nonsense is nonsense. Where's the shares from other applicants?

I think another way to beat silicon valley competitors is to not take as much VC funding. In some ways, it reminds me of when boxers try to move up weight classes beyond their "natural" weight. Often the abilities required at the new weight comes at the expense of the very things that made them excel at their previous weight. Similarly, successful companies who need to hit X00s millions in revenue to justify its funding level are forced to work on features or business models that aren't actually viable, and thus are vulnerable to smaller competitors.
And the absolutely horrible piece of crapware infesting all European Samsung phones called "Upday"

This trash isn't actually confined to the company's home country Germany, sadly.

Indeed a very weird choice for a company with an ethical image like OpenAI.

Ps why the downvotes? It bakes celebrity bullshit gossip in the launcher, just swipe right. And it's chock full of spyware trackers. It's one of the first things I remove when I decrap a new phone.
I hesitate to call "the shit that keeps stuff older than a year working on that kernel" a tech debt. It's necessity in any general use OS.

The stuff that can be changed without breaking compatibility is, well, it was the developer's best idea at the time and some of them turned out to be good, some turned out to be bad.

Going "but on paper that idea would be better, let's make OS around it" rarely ends up being plain better. It's not one dimensional.

For example if your CPU scheduler makes all jobs run faster (less cache thrashing while keeping CPUs busy etc.) but is unfair, that might be great for people running batch jobs, but shit for desktop users.

Scheduler wasting cycles but making sure interactive tasks get the right level of priority might be improvement for desktop users but not for server use etc.

Or you figure out that the reason something was "unnecessarily complex", was actual necessary complexity that wasn't obvious at first.

Also Linux isn't exactly stranger to taking the whole bunch of code and replacing it with something better, I think we're at 3th firewall stack now (ipchains -> iptables -> nftables)
