> And this is all assuming one correction per word which as much as humans are great learners seems like a very dubious assumption.

I assume much less than one correction per word. Corrections are to fix when the kids made a mistake when they mimic others, kids doesn't make mistakes for every word so you don't need to correct every word.

As I said, bulk of learning is from mimicking, but they will make a lot of mistakes when mimicking so to become good they need corrections. When I see parents with kids I see them correcting their kids all the time, correcting misunderstandings or fixing pronunciations or grammar issues etc. You can notice that parents use a specific voice when they correct the pronunciation, and the kid gets that the parent tried to correct their pronunciation from it, that happens quite a lot with small kids. You don't say "this is how to pronounce X", our genes seem to encode a way to communicate pronunciation to others to help correct mistakes.

Kids also correct each other in this way, which helps make the learning more robust even when adults aren't around. All humans has instincts to correct others so I don't think any culture fails to do this.
There's certainly some people who're troubled with this problem

I started the post by stating that I know no disrespect was meant.
It is precisely in this context that I want to clarify how this very common way of expressing artist appreciation can, and often does, rub the recipient the wrong way.
Anecdotal, but I wouldn't be sharing this unless I knew they many of my peers artists feel the same way.
The reality is you will never use a common secret storage anyway as usually and even when using multi-cloud tools like terraform you write a lot of cloud vendor specific stuff because they do not share the same provider. So using different secret storage API is not a huge deal and pretty much a moot point.

Also my vision of multi-cloud in large org hasn't been that a particular product/app or team was ever using multiple clouds. My experience is that large orgs like to have multi-cloud support because they grow by acquiring other companies regardless of which cloud vendor they are using so you just want to provide standards and templates for everyone. Obviously said templates will be usually cloud vendor specifics.

Weight gain does often happen a few years post treatment. Even then it's beneficial compared to no intervention, which would most likely have them be even worse off five years later. Long term health outcomes are better for those who get treatment than those who don't.

"Getting people to wear PPE is a constant, ongoing 12 hour a day battle."

Why is this? I often see firsthand or on television people working in dusty environments with little or no concern for the dust that they are breathing in. It especially horrifies me when I know that dust is silica or like, or perhaps even contains some asbestos. I wince every time I see professional stonemasons chiseling away or using diamond saws to cut up slabs of stone without wearing masks. Surely, if anyone, they ought to be aware of the risks.

I've occasionally had to work in such environments for short periods but I've never done so without wearing a n95/P2 type mask and even then I consider them inadequate protection and go to considerable effort to minimize my time in the dusty environment. I even go to the extent of putting on the mask and removing it outside in a dust-free area so as to minimize breathing in any residual dust.

Whenever I ask others around me why they don't take precautions I never get sensible answers or they offer paltry excuses such as masks fog one's glasses.

Despite all the exposure about the dangers of asbestos in recent decades, the greater dangers of dust inhalation generally just hasn't sunk in. The question is why.

In many respects this rejection seems to closely mimic the rejection of masks during COVID. One wonders what's actually needed to overcome the resistance to wearing PPE. (We've overcome PPE resistance re visibility with the full acceptance of fluorescent hi-vis clothing, so why not dust masks?)
That's got you play the metrics game.
I can't help to read Mitchell's post as a "I am jumping of the boat before it sinks!"
I did not try Claude for a research based task based on non-fictional content.

I think it's good that LLMs becomes specialized tools that can go deep into their expertise, I just think 'a fact engine' -- if that's what Claude is aiming to be -- needs to have correctly rigid controls on what defines fact. From that POV, I think I agree with the 'over-censored' label for Claude earlier in the thread... The intention may not be censorship, but if the LLM is so gunshy about what is fact vs. not, it's going to have a really narrow (and therefore potentially unreliable) lens.
She was too far ahead of the rest of us. The idea of not dehumanizing the perpetrators is a long way away from mass acceptance.

>> Schmidhuber is only the worst of many abusers of the citation system. Everyone knows that anonymous reviewers are more likely to approve of people who cite their work. Someone is politically powerful? Better cite their paper, even though you don't really think it's a good paper and you didn't use it.

The reason that this is not the norm in academia is because there is a substantial number of researchers who care very, very much about academic integrity and even more so about getting their work properly recognised, just like good old You_again.

Btw, "everyone knows" is a running joke in Game of Thrones, it's what the Dothraki always say to show that they're pre-scientific barbarians who believe whatever they like, or at least that's how I get the joke.
What do you mean?
I can't find a definition of talent that doesn't state it as 'innate' or 'natural'.
Interesting. That is not how I remember optical speeds.
My PCP retired over a year ago and I have been trying to find a new one. The few even taking new patients would either schedule the 'first meet' appointment several months out (and then go 'whoops, the doctor is not in the office on that day, can we reschedule for another 4 months out?'), or I would basically just get the cold shoulder when they found out what insurance I have.

I actually ended up finding a new PCP in the next state over. It's a 10hr drive one way to see them, but when adding up the time, travel costs and other expenses, it's still cheaper than most of the concierge health services in my area.
There is at least one star trek episode where this happens :)
Feels like you really moved the goalposts a few times there within the same thread. Bit of a wild ride. First, you were talking about desktop users:

80% of worldwide desktop users are business users.

Then you moved on to:

general purpose computing

Which could mean a lot of things, but based on the context -- a thread about the latest chips that Intel has created for the desktop/notebook market -- it sure seemed like we were talking about that.

Now you've focused on a subset of general purpose computing: embedded computing options.

Well, you are correct. Apple, like many computer manufacturers and chip makers, does not compete in the embedded space. Seems like a curious thing to point out since nobody was talking about it and nobody was under any illusions that competes there but hey, you're right.

Can I play too? Apple does not compete in the toaster oven market. Apple does not compete in the inertial guidance systems market for cruise missiles. Apple does not manufacture sneakers. Look at me, being correct over here.
How much are Google or Apple spending on developing Chrome and Safari?

And note that they also develop the operating systems (Android, ChromeOS, iOS, macOS), so have an integration advantage from it.
What about that long forgotten BTC wallet?
Good point about teamware, though I think sun was a very unusual company, and particularly network focussed. Also, the internet itself had a decentralized design (for military robustness, IIRC).

Maybe making the core data structure be a merkle tree (not a separate data structure for validation) was new... at least, for version control? It seems monotone used merkle trees as an overlay https://decomposition.al/blog/2019/05/31/how-i-learned-about...

I'm mainly going by larry, who told me that git's data structure wasn't from bitkeeper (but was "all his", IIRC). The significance is that this data structure can't model renames (of course, could do them as an overlay or decoration - though git doesn't)
I think you’re both right. They’re cornering a market with little competition because of the high cost barrier, with the hopes of personally owning/controlling space travel and any future colonization of other planets. I believe their primary motivation is monopolization and money, even if the science community experiences a benefit.
I just wanted to say that I hear you, I understand (at least partly) how you feel, and I'm sorry it landed this way. I don't think I agree that the decision "contradicted published rules", but insofar as I have to interpret the rules and in a case like this that is inevitably and intensely personal, you're not wrong to say "personal opinion of one moderator".

The experience of this thread was brutal, and of course it would have been so much easier to avoid it, but I don't think avoidance serves HN's purpose in the long run.

Anyhow, I appreciate your contributions to HN and I hope the positive will outweigh the negative in the long run.
That's not a censorship bill, that's an anti-harassment bill. Harassment is illegal everywhere: I'm not free to follow you around calling you an asshole. I could get charged for that, especially if you're my employee, tenant, or in the presence of other exacerbating factors. Canadian hate law says I'm not free to follow you around making disparaging comments about your race. C-16 expands that to say that I'm not allowed to follow you around disparaging your gender identity. That's it.

This bill, conversely, gives the government explicit power to block websites that host content that is not child-appropriate. Completely different.
As "If hardware next year is X times better (e.g. even 1.01 or 1% better) than this year" highlights X is a constant as a simplifying assumption, I'd have expected you to say "As this assumes that X is a constant" not "Though this does assume that X is a constant". So, I'm not sure what your disagreement is.

If your disagreement is that a constant is not appropriate here, consider the interpretation in this comparison of running a program on a slower computer A and then a faster computer B. There would be a constant difference in performance between these two computers, assuming they are in working order. So, taking the model with a single constant is appropriate for this example.

If you are saying the performance improvement is bounded below by a constant, I would ask you, what is the domain of this function? Time? So we would be talking about continuously moving a computation between different computers? The only line here is a best fit line, emergent data, so I don't understand how this could be a preferred way to talk about the situation (the alternate to an assumption), because this is suggesting the emergent structure with nice continuity features is a preferred fundamental understanding of the situation, but it's not.

Then, where you are talking about hardware performance improving up to a (assuming horizontal) asymptote. I guess this means "If hardware performance increase becomes marginal[1], there is a nonzero improvement." Or in other words, "If hardware performance increase is marginal, there is a marginal [performance] increase". Performance and improvement are both rates of change, so this is tautological.

Finally, you state that waiting for such a marginal near-zero performance increase isn't worth it. I think most people would agree this is obvious if said in simpler terms. However, this is still not disagreeing with me, because I never suggested waiting was worth it.

So, what's the disagreement?

[1] which is well-established not to be the case, so I don't think this is a relevant case to the interesting factoid about waiting to start computation
> I wouldn't call those equipment "autonomous" though, definitely not "highly autonomous".

Why? Tractors run and harvest mostly on their own. They don't do it 100% on their own, but neither did the definition above, they remove basically all human work needed from farming.

> But more importantly - yes, you're right, we have built machines that are superhuman in various ways - and they have replaced most jobs. We have adapted in the past to different jobs.

My point is that I think it is a crappy definition for "AGI". I think a non-AGI agent can replace a large majority of jobs we have today, just like it has before. And maybe there will not be much more jobs average humans can do left then, but that still doesn't mean it has to be AGI.
Ignoring reality is stupid.
Pretty much. Anecdotes about lives of elderly people are nice when you are sitting an evening with a glass of wine and plate of cheese. Otherwise who cares? Nothing is worse than trying to go through bunch of old faded photos where no one - even the owner - can identify who is actually in the picture.

I guess in our day and age we could write extensive meta data about where and when a picture was taken and who is in the picture, but I don't care to look through my own pictures, why would anyone else?
Thank you. I'll give this a look.
> sometimes i fantasize about the concept of "your IT person", kind of your local barber, general practitioner, tailor or baker. that is on charge of some aspect of your digital life with their own local little infra, tailoring personalized feeds and takes care of privacy/health issues, and provides you with their own simple interfaces or "speak" open protocols that connects with your feed reader, from movies, written articles to memes and funny videos.

Wow, I haven't thought about this idea before. I really resonate with this and can see it being an actual reality in the next 5-10 years. That being said, I'm sure somebody has tried the approach. What's preventing it from happening now?
> Vulkan 1.3 has pointers, thanks to buffer device address[1].

> [1] https://community.arm.com/arm-community-blogs/b/graphics-gam...

"Using a pointer in a shader - In Vulkan GLSL, there is the GL_EXT_buffer_reference extension "

That extension is utter garbage. I tried it. It was the last thing I tried before giving up on GLSL/Vulkan and switching to CUDA. It was the nail in the coffin that made me go "okay, if that's the best Vulkan can do, then I need to switch to CUDA". It's incredibly cumbersome, confusing and verbose.

What's needed are regular, simple, C-like pointers.
Neat demo. Although given the measurements here are discrete (and locations too, since float/double has finite resolution) the theorem does not actually apply so in theory there might not be any such points. Of course in practice with pressure and temperature only measured to few decimal places you will be able to find such points.

Cortes’s expedition of literal conquerors arrived by fighting for their lives the moment they met a state, let alone an empire.

Europe and its institutions failing to incorporate wildly conservative religious citizens has a lot more historicity than attributing “immigration” to the implication of native tribes in a post-apocalyptic pre-USA (it’s never Mexico or Peru) being culturally, physically, and biologically colonized.

The fact that LLMs generate text which is better than random is not something the authors need to spell out. Reducing the cross entropy between predicted and target distributions is the entire purpose of training.

Put another way: a flat probability distribution from an untrained network is equivalent to the random decoding you’re skeptical an LLM is better than. That’s not a criticism the authors’ peers would likely put forward.

I was curious to see what music they included. This passage from the Wikipedia page made me smile:

I'd like to know if there's been any effort to use high resolution 3D scanning to capture the images.
Hey, that's awesome. I think if I wanted a CGo-less solution, I would've probably picked the modernc variation, but honestly this looks very polished + the modernc version is known to be slow in some cases (though, the benchmarks actually made it look alright, realistically.)

One question I have is, is there a strategy to stop the performance from accidentally regressing in the future? Seems like it might not be a bad idea to include some benchmarks in the repository if you don't already.

Also, personally, I am interested in the nitty gritty of why it was slow and how you fixed it, so if you write it anywhere in this thread at least I will definitely read it through.

Yeah I never saw much point in stereo content created by others due to the limitations you mention, and I wouldn't spend money on dedicated stereo capture devices. But Cardboard Camera costs $0, and it's a cool feeling to stand inside one of your own captures of a place you haven't been in a long time, or a place that doesn't exist anymore.

Someday soon we'll be capturing and viewing gaussian splat scenes and videos and that will be the point where 3D captured content really becomes compelling for VR (outside the adult niche).
There was a project that does exactly that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33755016

what's another 3k/employee for a laptop

Macs are more expensive and that cost is often not worth it, but $3K?

For mundane business use we're talking about more like $1K (USD) for a Macbook Air versus roughly $700 for a halfway decent Dell.

Or then again... maybe $200 for a Chromebook is a better comparison, for companies that just want to give their employees a way to run web apps and check email.
I think it's the over regulation of the industry that's causing the issues. A medical degree AND at least 1 year of residency are required to be licensed to practice, which is fine. But congress capped the amount of residency slots in 1997 due to fears of having to many doctors and hasn't raised it pretty much since. So yes, "big government regulation" and central planning aka communism has caused this issue. Those companies and individuals that are profiteering off of this situation are also to blame, but not nearly as much blame as the whole of congress.
What photos? There’s two images in the link, but both look like 3D renders to me. (Especially the second.)
Ppe is usually bad designed, horrible to wear and has bad side-effects that are not documented. Better solutions exist(like sucking dust away into filters at the saw blade or actively air pressures masks) but companies want the cheap unusable minimum crap. Which then nobody uses and which then gets them thus out of all future lawsuits. It's a ritual to calm the lawyer priests, the workers health does not factor into it.
Although I'm not particularly happier over here on Android, this makes me glad I switched away from the Apple ecosystem a decade ago. It's a shame as I do occasionally get hardware envy.

It's the ambiguity that makes it good.
Because wildly conservative religious people tend to abuse their religion to push their personal agenda. Hell you could say some candidates are pondering to them BECAUSE they know they are easily manipulated without upholding the core of their religion.

Just Chrome, signed in and syncing with Google.

I used Firefox from the Phoenix days until maybe 2014-2020 or so, but kept running into rendering and performance issues, especially with canvas. Several of my last few web dev jobs deprecated support for it, so I stopped using it altogether.

The Google tracking stuff doesn't bother me (I find it helpful, actually). But if they ever kill ad blocking, I'll for sure switch away (and probably use that opportunity to exit the Google ecosystem).

Until then, though, Chrome's been fantastic!

If not CUDA, then what can you use with those?
I love the idea of an AI assistant for coding -- the ability to check references on the fly, the ability to not have to sift from through Google and StackOverflow which aren't that useful these days, is a great idea. BUT at this price, we need proof this is better than what we have. A week isn't enough. I'm not asking Jetbrains to give it to us for free as part of the package, but I can see 60 days unlimited use. It needs to be used in a large project, not just played with. It's important to remember, Jetbrains already has issues with thecloud-based IDEs now -- not everything is on the desktop. If they want me to keep paying every year, I need a strong reason to pay more than I do now.
Sounds easy to game.

For some context, Gelsinger was also behind Intel's first GPGPU attempts back around 2008. Before he was appointed CEO of Intel he was at VMWare but did an interview with the Computer History Museum in 2019 and said this
https://youtu.be/MxZe1i8z-8Y?t=780

He has wanted GPGPU or at least massively parallel compute for a long time and says it would be 10 years of work to make that happen.

And secondly, do you really think he's wrong about this part:
"As inferencing occurs, hey, once you've trained the model… There is no CUDA dependency," Gelsinger continued. "It's all about, can you run that model well?"

Why run inferencing on an expensive H100? Gaudi seems like a pretty good idea.
I consider sending anything up to the cloud without user's consent is pretty hostile. Passwords especially. I don't care if they claim it's E2EE; programmers and implementations are fallible and I thought a key part of Apple's whole value proposition is it's supposed to retain control in the user's hands.
