I think the light phone is a great idea but with some caveats that makes me not want to make me jump.

If they made it an open platform so I could code my own apps into it, that'd be great and email would probably be nice. I only check my email when I have to anyway so that doesnt give me stress. It's async!

A bigger battery would be nice. If they are rocking an e-ink display it would be nice with a phone that lasts a week or more.
> what makes "magic rings" a leitmotif when "magic hats" (also very common) aren't? The rule in fairy tales is very simple: any object can be magical.

But this is not just about fairy tales, it’s also about folk lore. Things that people in real life sometimes actually believe in.

The linked Wikipedia article says:

> A finger ring is a convenient choice for a magic item: It is ornamental, distinctive and often unique, a commonly worn item, of a shape that is often endowed with mystical properties (circular), can carry an enchanted stone, and is usually worn on a finger, which can be easily pointed at a target.

Seems reasonable that in real life a ring might make a more convincing magical item than a hat.
When is OpenAI going to suspend or fire Tal Broda?
It does. As I said, the gallery offers a cardboard style stereo view. The 2nd image is hidden in the jpeg file, just like the mp4 audio, and can be extracted using exiftool.

It’s pretty simple and not hypocritical to hold these two positions simultaneously:

- It’s legal and moral to train on data you have access to, regardless of copyright.

- Nobody is obligated to provide services to you so you can obtain that data from them.

It would be hypocritical if, say, ByteDance obtained synthetic data generated from GPT-4 and then OpenAI tried to prevent them from training on the data they already obtained. But all they are doing at the moment is temporarily pausing generating new data for them. OpenAI aren’t obligated to do this and OpenAI have never argued that other people are obligated to do it for them. So no hypocrisy.
I actually believe that a company can and should have drives other than making money for the shareholders.

I would prefer if more companies had objectives like "make quality products affordable" or "cultivate and respect customer goodwill".

From this point of view I can imagine that some people bought Tesla stocks because they just want to help the company and I see no problem with that.

Thanks for your comment. Let me know if you end up implementing this on Android. I think this concept could be adaptable to other platforms or languages. I just happened to be working in Swift and so I started there.

It took about a week to prove the idea was viable and then another week or two to get the code into a state where I felt it would be useful to share.
I've been with all 3 major and Azure is the only one that even feels like it has support. Even so, unless you are a big customer on some special agreement, you aren't going to get any red carpet treatment. We pay for the $100/m support plan right now and it's pretty goddamn mediocre. Maybe submitting tickets for "legacy" AD domain services outages doesn't touch the rockstar support team these days. Support quality is probably variable across product team at some level.
Sometime before Rome, in the 3rd millennium BC, Base-60 was used:

It originated with the ancient Sumerians ..., was passed down to the ancient Babylonians, and is still used—in a modified form—for measuring time, angles, and geographic coordinates.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexagesimal

The number 60, a superior highly composite number, has twelve factors, namely 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, and 60, of which 2, 3, and 5 are prime numbers. With so many factors, many fractions involving sexagesimal numbers are simplified.
> I don't want to imagine the amount of issues generated for people from bad extensions.

I'm a heavy Firefox user, but since almost no one uses Firefox for Android, and of that group almost no one uses extensions beyond maybe ublock Origin, I'd put the number of issues at roughly 5.

On a more serious note, I think the Firefox for Android user base is highly educated. They are not going to accidentally install a typical extension to, say, extract website content in markdown, thinking: "What is an extension developer anyway?"
You know he got fired from Y-combinator right?

It was a direct order from Paul Graham. He keeps mum about it but I have trusted sources who know the truth. Additionally, it's sort of public knowledge:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/11/22/sam-alt...

I don't have a full view into exactly why he was fired from both OpenAI and Y-combinator. But from what I hear the reasoning is a bit similar. Sam Altman is a bit of a political snake. He lacks ethics and he's not honest either. The last part is just me speculating on a lot of the anecdotes from quips I've heard over the years from people who know Sam.

Sams public persona is very different. And I think a lot of HN viewers worship that public persona. But Sam being a darling of the HN and Ycombinator themselves? No way. They fired him so it's unlikely.

> You start with the high rent and then come down as it sits vacant

My experience in recent years is that what you really do is something akin to a casting combined with a (not advertised) auction and select your tenant based not only on price, but estimated probability of trouble and being late on rent, so religious college freshmen are high on the list, while single mothers on the other end.

You don't want to do this every month, so you set the price high enough for some people to self-select.
I kind of suspect non-domestic carriers generally suck, no matter what. DHL (to the limited and seemingly decreasing extent they exist at all) are absolutely horrendous here in the US, for instance.
Slightly offtopic; I am quite well vetted in the relational database models (starting with the Date book in uni in the 80s; I worked with DBs before that, but didn't know how they worked or relational theory), however are there similar theories for other types of databases; more specific graph databases? But any other type would suffice. For instance, I can find a lot of implementation detail about columnar databases, but not a lot of theory (probably my inability to search for the right phrases).

AI is definitively here to stay forever.
It's not a hype, it's 100% here for the long-term.

The hype may be specific to some companies for now, but AI is deeply going to change many industries, especially due to open-source, specialized chips to allow running in local, and new hardware (I strongly hope a clone of H100 A80G comes quickly).

The next step is to add limbs to the LLMs.

Then we get Tesla bot who is going to help you with daily chores, and to execute tasks in a factory.

The bot can ask its own internal knowledge base to know what action to execute next, and because the model can output JSON, the action commands can be sent to motors for in-real-life execution.

LaMDA is really far from being sentient.

It's outputs non-sensical (aka highly hallucinating) or relatively useless but coherent text.

It really needs further refinement.

This is one big reason why GPT-4 is still the most popular.
Guess a better way to phrase it is that metal-poor stars were formed long ago, relatively early after the big bang. If they're old or young depends on where in their lifecycle we observe them.

We can't all run a YouTube channel for the programming equivalent of Primitive Technology, fun though that would be. 99.99% of us will have to adapt to AI being a coworker, who will probably eventually replace us.

Right now we're still OK because the AI isn't good enough; when it gets good enough, doing things manually is as economically sensible as making your own iron by gathering a few times your mass in wood, burning some of in a sealed clay dome to turn it into charcoal, digging up some more clay to make a porous pot and a kiln to fire it in, filling it with iron rich bacterial scum from a creek, letting the water drain, building a furnace, preheating it with the rest of the wood, then smelting the bacterial ore with the charcoal, to yield about 7 grams or iron.

Is a summary that, because the ANN could be implemented in hardware, it is not necessarily strictly software, and therefore patentable?

Edit: There's a more digestible summary here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/examination-of-pa...

> 8. The judgment notes that an ANN may be implemented in hardware, for example a physical box with electronics in it (see [14]), or in software where the ANN exists as a computer emulation, for example where a conventional computer runs a piece of software which enables the computer to emulate the hardware ANN (see [18]).

> 9. The judgment compares hardware and software implementations of an ANN (see [32]-[62]). For hardware implementations, the judgment notes there is no program to which the program exclusion of s.1(2)(c) can apply (see [43]). For software implementations, the judgment holds it is appropriate to look at the emulated ANN as, in substance, operating in the same way as the hardware ANN it emulates. If the hardware ANN is not operating as a program, then neither is the emulated ANN (see [56]).

> 10. Thus, *the judgment concludes an emulated ANN is not a program for a computer* (see [58]). As a matter of construction, the claimed invention is not a computer program at all (see [61]). So, the computer program exclusion is not invoked by the claimed invention ([61]).
I think I see details, but the details are all wrong compared to what I see when I open my eyes.
Just prompt the user every time an image needs to be rendered and show the call details. The users will see the full url with all their text in it and they can report it.

This works for images and any other output call, like normal http REST calls.

I learned that single writer principle is maybe the most important thing if you care about performance.

If I kept going, we'd have a perfect time traveling database of everything that ever happened in the enterprise.

I was even proposing a hashing technique that would provide cryptographic guarantees that our log has not been tampered with, given a pre-shared seed signature. This would be shared with all of our customers and placed in their vaults. At any point, they would be permitted to audit all activity we have logged and recompute our hashes themselves.

Really the vision was make B2B consulting with banks and other financial institutions as transparent as possible.

Performance was pretty bananas too. Easily outstripped both sql server and SQLite in testing for our hot path by more than 10x. We weren't doing SQL command processing though. Very application-specific access patterns.

LMAX Disruptor, or it's equivalent abstraction, will be at the heart of any database I ever attempt to write again.

Sort of. At its core is a logging interface, but there is a factory that gives you a configured local instance based on requesting a logger by name or by hierarchal class name.

You have log levels but also markers which act as hierarchal filters. Based on the supplied configuration, something like debug-level log statements may become a no-op for a section of code.

The appenders are an extension point and rather diverse - you can go to a file, a REST server, a database, etc.

Writing a log message to a database or REST server may take a while, so there is a system to dispatch logging events to separate worker threads.

Logging messages may be localized. This means there needs to be a parameterization system to inject data values into localized messages.

You also may want to collect data from various parts of the system as available and log them, basically accumulating information as you go. There are thread contexts maps and stacks to accumulate such data, which can also be parameterized into messages.

It's a highly flexible system without clear security boundaries. Maybe a log message comes from user input rather than being a parameter on a formatted log message. Maybe that user-supplied message contains a parameter itself. And maybe the parameters are written such that they are fulfilled by making system calls.

> For hardware implementations, the judgment notes there is no program to which the program exclusion

Puzzling argument. This logic can apply to every single computer program (i.e. it can be implemented in hardware), which means the exclusion will never apply, which means the judge's reasoning is wrong.
Wait. That's an interesting statement. "Had" is the keyword which implies dual realities.
In 1966 a 7.25MB drive cost $25,510.

This is complete nonsense, but not surprising because the judge probably has no idea what a program is. In France, a few years ago, when discussing the matter of Web cookies, some authority described cookies as “little programs” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Section 12 seems to contain the real reason why this is a technical contribution:

> The judgment accepts an argument that moving data outside the computer system, in the form of a file that is transferred, provides an external (outside world) technical effect.

> When coupled with the purpose and method of selecting the file’s contents, this fulfils the requirement for a technical effect which avoids the computer program exclusion.

Sounds like these sorts of "decision matrix"-type ANNs are going to now be patentable if there is some kind of application of "special sauce" that can be used to select files or some other external component.
You original summary is very poorly phrased. You do mention the problem:

> By calculating y, he accidentally gives a proof to the compiler that x must be true.

But the actual example is written to hide this problem. It should make clear that "y" is actually an expression that depends on x, something like "return x.then_some(x.field)". With that example, it would be immediately clear why evaluating x.field before checking x was a bug.

One of the easiest approache is torch.compile, it's the latest iteration of pytorch compiler (previous methods were : TorchScript and FX Tracing.)

You simply write
model = torch.compile(model)

"Across these 163 open-source models torch.compile works 93% of time, and the model runs 43% faster in training on an NVIDIA A100 GPU. At Float32 precision, it runs 21% faster on average and at AMP Precision it runs 51% faster on average."[1]

What google is trying to do, is to involve more people in the R&D of these kind of methods.

Since the Ukraine war electricity has been more expensive than petrol too.

Isn't that a bit silly...? Almost any software can potentially be implemented in hardware and be "emulated".

> No, the programmer didn't explicitly ask for their check to be deleted, even with "unsafe" written. There is no request written anywhere. At most, you can say they implied they wanted it by invoking undefined behavior. Probably, though, they just made a mistake, or assumed that behavior was defined when it wasn't

This is a weird complaint to make here, where the compiler optimization isn't introducing a bug. If the check were left in place, the code would have exactly the same problem that it does without the check.

The optimization is exactly what you hope for: something that makes the code faster without affecting its behavior in any way. Why is that bad?
This best describes my feeling.
The LaMDA is sentient guy gave me the impression of being a bit nuts. I'm sure google would show their weight and out-compete openai if they could. We all know all this "AI safety" is for show, right?
The vulnerabilities work by tricking the Bluetooth host state-machine into pairing with a fake keyboard without user-confirmation. The underlying unauthenticated pairing mechanism is defined in the Bluetooth specification, and implementation-specific bugs expose it to the attacker.

Why would you want to pair silently? Could someone provide more details on the intended purpose of the faulty mechanism?
Hmm, seems someone's managed to patent something fairly trivial... the same thing as OpenAI's Clip, but instead of with image-text pairs, with music-text pairs; for vector retrieval. And apparently neural networks aren't software because they can be implemented as hardware...
