Some thoughts comparing this to the GPT API (from a thread: https://hachyderm.io/@ianbicking/111574983914336748):

It looks like a fairly easy swap-in for GPT. "messages" becomes "content". Some of the configuration parameters are slightly different (topP/etc), but I have never put in the effort to understand the practical effect of those so I never tweak their values.

The messages themselves are a list of "parts", which allows mixed media messages. This feels a little cleaner than how GPT has handled messages being extended.

Instead of role: "assistant" they use role: "model". There's no role: "system" – presumably you just shove everything into user messages. You can also leave off the role... and I assume that means default to "user" but it's not clear if it's 100% equivalent...?

There's a bunch of moderation parameters, which seems like a good idea. OpenAI has a moderation endpoint you can use to preflight check your input, but doing it all at once makes more sense. There's four categories and you can adjust your sensitivity to each (and turn off blocking at entirely). The sensitivity is not about how extreme the violation is, but how likely it is a violation. So it's not like a G/PG/PG-13/etc rating. Just a question of how many false positives/negatives you want.

There's functions, though they are in beta (whatever that means): https://ai.google.dev/docs/function_calling – they look very very similar to GPT functions. They don't have the "JSON response" that GPT has, but that seems mostly redundant with functions anyway.

I have no idea how well prompts translate, but it feels like the API is an easy translation. And importantly everything is semantically equivalent, you don't have to make one pretend it is the other, like turning a completion API into a chat API.

Given the generous free tier I feel fairly motivated to swap in Gemini and try to ship experiments that I've sat on until now.

Not many people, even experts, predicted the success of ChatGPT even five years ago - and most have moved their timeline for AGI up significantly because of its release.

AI is a hard field to make predictions in.
"under-delivering" was paired with "over-promising". Elon has done some cool stuff, yeah. He promised cooler stuff and so far it hasn't been possible for lots of reasons. So you are both correct.
that was very insightful! sex industry relies on technology distribution and so didn’t exist as well without the latest tech and the interest from enthusiasts

At the age I would think the observability and the debugability are the qualities that I'd like the systems to have. The productivity gains r immeasurable.

I know this is a bit of a chicken and egg thing because there just aren't that many smaller EVs, but it'd be nice to see more tax credits for smaller, cheaper vehicles.

Incentivising the hell out of the low end could make travel significantly cheaper for a huge number of people and might mean we can move away from this energy expensive, mutually assured destruction arms race of huger and huger vehicles.
I'm actually really happy with the progress made with wearables.

Smart watches are great, the Humane pin is cool ( massively overpriced considering you could probably give these out to anyone who prepays for a year of service).

I imagine the next great step will be AI powered pseudo code.
You may be right, but your one is seriously impressive. Good work!
I live in Sitka, AK. I don't know my town's land area, but we're roughly a 14-mile strip of land right between the base of steep mountains and the ocean. Most of town is about a half-mile from coast to mountains, with some stretches much narrower than that. We have about 9,000 people.

> Why would the developers not build multi-story apartments/condos?

Most of the same reasons as many places, with the added issue of not much undeveloped land to build on. Who wants to build a multi-story building when you can build an expensive house and deal with a single buyer? Zoning laws are controlled by people who already have homes, and don't prioritize accessible housing. People don't want to see the value of their home drop. People don't want their views blocked by tall buildings.

Yes, earlier years were a bit better, but still. As CTO of Amazon he also needs to push the party line. These "predictions" are signaling, not actual predictions, privately he can think completely different things.
No, I think it's more about how cores may share infrastructure (like M cache etc)
"Gemini" is a very common name (being the name of a constellation) which has been used by countless products, companies and endeavors over the years. Almost no one outside of Hacker News and a small core of misanthropic anarchists knows about, much less cares about, the Gemini protocol.

In the case of this specific Gemini, it's apparently the result of there being two teams involved, and it's a reference to the Gemini space program[0].

Like a bug fix, except without the bug.
It's hard to explain what life is like as a formerly very poor™ person to people who have never experienced it.

Like, every once in a while I get a craving for poverty comfort foods like ramen with frozen veggies, a slice of American cheese, and a sliced up microwaved hotdog.

Or trying to explain why it's so hard for me to let go of a 20 year old pickup truck that still works because I used to sleep in it.

Or how no matter how much money I earn now I always feel poor and one step away from homelessness.

How I won't go and buy new clothes, why I shop at thrift stores and pawn shops when I can afford new, how I don't feel like I own anything, why I always plan for and expect the worst out of every event and encounter I have, how I dedicate my self to working hard so that the places I work at can't "afford" to fire me, so much so that I have been accused of being an overworker and a slave driver.

On an income basis I'm probably at the top for my entire family right now, but years of homelessness and over a decade of extreme poverty have made their marks on my life and I don't know if it will ever get better. I could win the lottery and I'd still be cutting coupons and searching deal sites for discount codes, wearing discount clothes and shopping in pawn shops.
What I'm seeing from all of these things is very accurate single navigable 3D images.

What I haven't seen anything of is feature and object detection, blocking and extraction.

Hopefully a more efficient and streamable codec necessitates the sort of structure that lends itself more easily to analysis.
I would need to double check with the team on this detail, but if I recall correctly the architecture as it is is specifically designed to make the bpf verfier happy and we didn’t think it was going to be possible with existing formats. But happy to reconsider, we’d of course much rather use a standardized format if possible!
We've been at it for over a decade now. For the first time ever, we will turn a profit next year.

We almost gave up many times. There is no way anyone involved today would walk away at this point.

It feels to me like that part of the casual StarCraft match wherein we are about to warp our cloaked carrier fleet into the enemy base without any prior detection or hope for recourse. Quitting the game now would be absolutely insane.
One would think this would be a good reason to not promise that you'll have solved it within a timeframe that's not even remotely realistic

Don't get me started on Adsense and internet ads.
Ok you got me started, my developer tools site helps people develop Chrome extensions webfiddle.net

I had my entire adsense account including all of my other games cancelled because it's against Google's terms of service to advertise on other people's content... well that's exactly Google's business model. Think about it?

Banned me for life too, if they want to crush people on the internet it's in their DNA and don't think they won't.

Meanwhile the people allowed to run internet ads are selling v iol e nce, pi lls, se gs, addictive gam bli ng games etc on my kids YouTube videos.
You get it - when someone is hand to mouth, their theoretical market freedoms are pretty limited, particularly in this field when everyone else is using the same materials.
Not just that - top selling or not, you want to remove worse emission vehicles since they contribute a larger amount to emissions. One truck replaced with an electric version is effectively equivalent to 1.5-2 sedans, in terms of emissions per mile.

Silicon circuits do not have microtubules, if we were to pretend that Penrose is right about this hypothesis of consciousness. Consciousness as awareness is not equivocal to intelligence, which is the product of information processing. It is a complex subject. We do not really know whether these neurons are aware or not, it really is not understood. But yes I do wonder, why _human_ brain cells? I guess they are the best candidate for specific reasons.
I see less spam in my inbox (effectively 0) than I did with Gmail, but that could be because I've been more careful about what I sign up for than I was with my old email (which I got as a kid).

> fraud requires knowledge of falsity,

The civil tort of fraud (criminal fraud is different) generally requires either knowledge of falsity or reckless indifference to the truth.
When I was younger I would have agreed with you negatively, that apple hides the technology too much. But now I agree with you and think Ive and Jobs did get it on a product level. Tech should do something for you, and ideally you should not realize you are using technology.

Imagine you are a carpenter, and you build houses. You only have ever used a hammer and nails for nailing. One day you get a super fancy nail gun that you adjust pressure and tweak 1 million settings and it has a lazer sight and cloud connectivity etc you would probably hate it. But if you get a nail gun that is idiot proof and works well with no tweaks you would love it.

Technology exists to solve prolbems not for its own sake.

If you don't want to see X, you just have to no look. Being offended by X, doesn't mean that you have an inherent right to ban X.

X throughout the times were/are ads, black people, campaign billboards, crossdressing and Pride parades.

Every time someone says "it should be banned, because I don't want to see it in public" is eerily reminiscent of the arguments of homophobes that I hear all the time.

"I don't want to see" or "it offends me" must never be a reason for banning something. It's not sufficient.
I think it will be a few more years before the hype dies down enough for sane heads to realize that. Change the year though and you are correct.
It's the only reasonable way to construe what Google said.

If Google unilaterally changed its TOS and updated those terms by saying the account would go 'into a read only state' without any further details (both of which in fact happened), the user is entitled to assume that such a read only state will be the new status quo. Google should have specified a time limit or specified that the read only state would be revocable on with no or short notice, at the company's discretion. By staying silent on that matter, Google's communications were misleading or deceptive or likely to mislead or deceive the user of the product.

This really isn't rocket science.

I wasn't assigning or shifting blame for anything. I was just expressing that I am baffled by the reality.
I suppose I was primed to believe it was an old quote, so I assumed somewhere in the mid or late 1800s. But Thomas Jefferson! Heh.

I guess this shouldn't be surprising: news publishers have to pay their staff and keep the lights on, and always to some extent will be biased toward journalism that sells.

But also consider that Jefferson is on the side of the state: even if he was in favor of freedom of the press, I'm sure he had his own biases that made him think journalists could be annoying, at best.
> the banks take on nearly all the costs of processing them

Not for me. I live in Norway. I suddenly became an absent party of a class action lawsuit in the USA. The settlement came in the form of a check. A small amount, maybe around $50. But the cost of cashing it in Norway was more than the value!
Phi-2 uses a lot of custom code which will slow down porting/quantization.
I can't predict the future, but I imagine soon: all of the tools are there. The reason we didn't develop for VR is actually simpler than you'd think: we just don't have the developer time! At the end of the day, only a handful of people actively wrote code for this project.

I believe you! The problem is that intent is invisible and what really matters in the threads is not intent, but effects. The IPD thing just has reliably bad effects, so it's best to avoid.

We can't add things like that to the guidelines because there are too many of them. I posted a bit about this yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38620847 - if it helps at all.
Well, if you call it "government overreach" it's hard to be a fan.

> Workers should have refused to work with the material if it were truly dangerous, and the free market would have eventually pushed engineered stone out, giving way to innovation for a better, safer material.

I think you need to consider this from a game theory perspective. Sometimes there are systemic negative outcomes that can only be addressed with systemic mitigations. Governments/the law serve a purpose by establishing the ground rules in which the market operates. How you structure those rules changes systemic outcomes.

Without the ground rules, UFC would devolve into people just shooting each other.
IME nobody in US STEM academia uses it either, at least among themselves.

AWS uses it in external comms because "Dr." impresses suits.
I don't work in the field so I can't say for certain, but AWS and friends really strike me as the type of tech you need to deploy at scale in order for their complexity to be worth the initial up-front learning cost.

Try to think of a project that either needs infra like that to get started, or another one you can deploy in a homelab or a few VPSes or something.

Maybe VMs are a good idea, to give yourself a good place to test things without committing bare metal to anything.

What software system architecture interests you? The scale you're interested in may matter, too. For me, system architecture means which distro (and which set of packages), configs, and other settings that create a cohesive server/client or groupware system. I think a lot of those challenges lay mostly in understanding how computers are being used within a given organization, and designing things in ways that make adapting easier and workflows smoother.

What that looks like, I would imagine is different for every organization.
> With posers who could now wear camera enabled glasses for social media and likes for some reason angers me.

Posers? There are sunglass lense versions of those glasses available. Do you have any issue with people wearing non-prescription sunglasses?

And people have been wearing decorative glasses with no prescription for quite a while. I cannot do it, despite liking the look of glasses (which I have no need for after getting lasik 6 years ago).

However, I do wear sunglasses and have zero issues with doing so. Neither have I felt anything negative towards people who wear glasses for decorative purposes with no prescription, even back when I had to wear them for vision correction purposes for most of my life.

Yeah it's really incredible the progress in just a few years.
No more or less unsubstantiated than what the person I replied to said.

At any rate, maybe try for some productive discussion rather than shallow dismissals?
The reality on the ground in the West Bank runs contrary to this story.

Two infitadas crushed, Arafat long dead, a supine administration facilitates Israeli military occupation, Israeli settlers continue to pour in, expropriation and colonisation continue, the Israeli army dominates a territory where things only change for the worse for Palestinians.

In the West Bank "destroying the terrorists and their supporters that run the country" had lead to settlers and the army forcing Palestinians into every smaller enclaves making a Palestinian state increasingly unviable.

So no. Please do not claim that "grinding them into the dust" is going to lead to a better future for Palestinians. It is leading to colonisation and oppression.
How are toxic brown carbon nitroaromatics produced in biomass smoke?
Sorry for going a bit off-topic, but something I'm curious about: are channels thought to be a good/useful tool for concurrent programming?

My feeling is that they're probably too low-level and error-prone, and you really want higher-level structures like worker pools or actors. So as a concurrency building block they'd be on the same abstraction level as pthreads or Java monitors -- nice and flexible for building on top of, but too finicky to be used directly in application code.

But I'm not a Go expert, and maybe Go programmers do successfully use channels directly for application code?
>fraud requires knowledge of falsity

Or recklessness as to falsity - like not caring whether the statement was true or false.
Another probable bad side effect of AI will be that a generation of developers will become dependent on copilot/chatgpt to be able to write code! They will definitely perform worse than before llm era without the help of a llm!

What is "suffer" in this context? Are you saying "pain", or are you positing some "meta-pain" that is worse?

Also, why is pain important to you? The pain of non-human things has zero moral weight. I know it's a popular spirituality that gives pain moral weight, but as far as I can tell some 20th century philosophy jerkoff invented it out of nothing and everyone accepts that "reducing pain" is important without even trying to rationalize it.

I haven't "accepted that I do not care enough", it's that no one can supply a good reason to care in the first place. To me, it seems as if the rest of you are all trying to replace the last religion you stopped believing in with another that's just as bizarrely stupid.
> with so many deadlines repeatedly blown through, it would be hard to demonstrate that a reasonable person could rely on a representation that a promised deadline would be met.

Yeah, it's from Andreessen Horowitz. This stuff exists for software managers to point to when they make purchasing decisions in B2B. Doesn't serve any practical purpose.

It is weird seeing my hobbyist game dev and professional enterprise software world collide like this. Articles like this made sense when Facebook was willing to put up billions for VR services. But that was a bust, and now you have tons of consultants spinning their wheels. There is no reason any game studio or publisher needs to be told what game engine is good, I don't even think they care as long as they can make a good game. It's not a huge organization that you are trying to rally around some kind of decision.
