>The real thing of value OOP provides is calling with object.method. A lot of OOP code looks like `void obj.mutate()`. If you pulled that to what's really happening in "procedural" syntax, `mutate(obj)`, that exposes it for the bad code it is.

I'm confused here, are you saying there is value in the object.method() syntax? D language for example has Uniform Function Call Syntax[0] where f(x) can be written as x.f()

(I missed this syntax in C, and tried to approximate it by putting functions in structs, but you still have to pass the caller as an arg so it ends up being player.update(player) which looks stupid, so at that point player_update(player) seems an acceptable alternative)

Later you say obj.mutate() is bad code, are you referring only to methods which mutate the object?

> The boomers and older never had to deal with "credit".

What do you mean? They had to take out mortgages just the same. And for example in the 70s the mortgage interest was sometimes over 10%
I honestly disagree with a lot of these points.

shipping software means compromise, most of these points are basically "don't compromise on X".
AFAIK it's all about trying to be POSIX-but-not-quite. Via the POSIX spec https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1... :

> The first -- argument that is not an option-argument should be accepted as a delimiter indicating the end of options. Any following arguments should be treated as operands, even if they begin with the '-' character.

> All options should precede operands on the command line.

> If an argument can be identified according to Guidelines 3 through 10 as an option, or as a group of options without option-arguments behind one '-' delimiter, then it should be treated as such.

I think that the rule "all options should precede operands" has been broken so much in practice (particularly since any subcommand must break it) that it may as well not be a rule. And if it's not a rule, then the only way to unambiguously distinguish options from operands-that-start-with-a-dash-but-should-be-passed-verbatim-as-operands... is to require a double-dash.

You are correct. What I was trying to drive at is that utility for many things does not really get inflated/deflated on pre-defined metrics. In your iPad example, what's the inflator coefficient to use when going from TouchID to FaceID. It's subjective.

I have the confidence to feel that now, but dating apps imbue a sense of helplessness in users like my past self, who would get maybe 10-20 matches total, ever, most of whom wouldn't even reply. So perhaps my experience speaks more to the psychological game of dating apps than anything about bubbles and phones.

And, to be fair, they didn't reject me per se, they would make slightly judgmental comments or observations. It just felt like it knocked me down a peg in their eyes and made it all the more difficult to make a real connection.

> I thought "as an AI language model" was OpenAI's design, and they deliberately instilled this specific phrase into GPT via RLHF. It's not something LLMs say "naturally," and The Pile by itself shouldn't make an LLM preprend certain answers with "as an AI language model." The paper does not say they did any RLHF themselves, or even any prompt engineering about making the LLM respond like an AI chatbot. LLMs don't "know" they're AI unless they've been prompted to that effect.

This is correct. OpenAI's GPT models say this because they've been trained to do so via RLHF. Newer language models typically say this because their training set is partially generated by OpenAI's models. It's quite fascinating to ask LLaMA finetunes about themselves and see which ones respond with "As an AI language model..." or even outright say they were created by OpenAI.

Some of my fondest memories are with cousins. And for many, cousins serve as drop in brothers/sisters. It's sad especially for only children.

My kids live 2 doors from 3 of their cousins. We architected it because of all the benefits. It's good for the kids and for my wife and her sis. It's awesome.

Both families always have someone to count on at any time when needed.
That's something I've been wondering about myself. People have run afoul of the CFAA with less egregious actions than these. I guess the Beeper guys talked to their lawyer at least, before taking this course of action.
> When your brain messes up and you have an accident, isn't that a pretty similar scenario?

When LLM's start going to jail for killing people then we can consider them equivalent. Until that happens, they must be held to a higher standard specifically because the incentives aren't there otherwise.
These two phrases are strange to me in the context of OP:

intuit the behavior of other humans through the theory-of-mind

and:

If AVs consistently act "unexpectedly"

Are you implying that the three specific incidents quoted by the OP are acting unexpectedly? I hope not. Most good, aware drivers would do the same. If you disagree, please provide alternative driving actions that you consider expected. And, would the safety outcomes be better? Unlikely.

> On the other hand though, if Apple's legal right to continue locking them out was as certain as you make it sound, wouldn't it make sense for them to file a lawsuit and set precedent for anybody walking in Beeper's footsteps?

Prefacing this by saying that I’m not privy to what, if anything, Apple is cooking up. But such a case isn’t something you cobble together in an afternoon.

In my experience a lead time for something like this is at least about a month, a week if it’s urgent and less if it’s really urgent and you seek an injunction (and then you try to flesh it out afterwards).

But ideally you want to take your time so you can discuss your strategy both internally with higher ups as well as with outside counsel, collect exhibits and draft up a solid initial filing.

Part of these discussions is also what kind of exposure you’ll have during discovery.
Apple for example genuinely believes that Masimo used Apple’s internal confidential documents that Masimo received during discovery in the California trial to create the competing W1 smartwatch.

It could be that they’re weary of having to share more internal information, especially since so much has already come out during the last couple of years full of cases.
Or wary that Beeper would learn more about the inner workings of iMessage.

I wouldn’t characterize it as a high priority matter with urgency either because they seem able and effective in blocking Beeper, with little loss in device sales as a result.

A lot of effort is going towards the Apple Watch issue with Masimo that prevents them from selling the newest models.

Lastly, while only of minor importance, it’s slightly more beneficial for Apple if Beeper would sue them while they keep successfully blocking Beeper than Apple suing Beeper.

All in all, it’s a lot of weighing pros and cons, even when you’re in the right. That’s one of the reason why there are so many settlements, because it often is cheaper, faster and easier than a whole trial.
> The point is that web site owners should be able to easily implement ad/pay walls

They should be easily able to make the attempt, they should not easily be effective because to do so is to allow authoritarianism.

I paid for my device, they should have no control over it, yet they do. The threat of having that ability is too high.

'No one'... according to yourself?

This appears to be a random pseudonym account so it's unproductive to phrase it in this way, because it requires a lot more credibility to back it up.

A simple counterexample: I clearly think 10% is fine, and I've met at least a few dozen people who share a similar view. Which suggests it's a common enough sentiment among HN readers.
Hit from behind is a classic blunder. Almost always, it means the other driver was following too closely or not paying attention.

Since all of these accidents happened in the US, is the driver that hits from behind normally responsible for the accident? (For a moment, let's exclude predatory behavior where the front driver is doing something toxic, like intentionally pump-breaking on a high speed road to induce a hit-from-behind accident.)
The way I see it, is that I have a choice whether to pay* for ads that are forced on me without my consent, or whether to block that advertising content.

The website owner has the choice to allow me to see his website ad-free, or to refuse my access to his website altogether.

That's OK. I can survive if I don't see his website at all. OTOH, if he blocks out too many of us, there won't be sufficient eyes on his advertising anyway.

* pay for the ads I see? Yes. I have many times been in the situation where I had a small monthly quota of data such that my total data allowance per day was only 60 MB. It doesn't take many 5 MB advertisements to complete use up my meagre daily data allowance.
Why should I care about the made-up damage claims of a corporate conglomerate that will go on to make billions off GTAⅥ either way?
amen to that! (own experience)
Good info, thanks. A person in a WhatsApp group I am in, but not known to me, started such a club recently, so I was interested to know what it was about.
I would first need to see the site to get a sense of if I agree with the monetization, but at that I would have seen the ads.

Hence I block all ads,if a site has a nag screen about ad blocker, I block it from my searches with Kagi. I wish it already had a block list for that so I never see these sites at all. Sites who does that are typically of very low quality anyway.
“Skilled nursing” is an industry term for the services provided to elderly people who are not able to live semi-independently, and need daily nursing care for health issues or significant degree of mental decline.
I think they’re just called functional?
I'll add that on top of that the ads use so many resources in the browser, CPU/RAM, that it slows many otherwise great budget computers to a standstill. And if you're on a low-res screen like me (1280x720) the ads often overwrite half the content or make the site completely unnavigable.

Additionally, the amount of bandwidth the ads use is enormous, especially when they include self-playing video, and people who have government-issued phones in the USA (poor people) only get 15GB of bandwidth on most plans, and that is burned up within a couple of days due to this.
What a great thing!
Pretty sure if an alternate phone networks existed, it was free to switch to them, and they had billions of users already, antitrust case against bell would have no merit.

(disclaimer: Android user, wish users had stopped bothered with iMessage already and switched to something else)
> What I do refuse to accept is that once they have sent me the data that they have any right to control how I consume it. If you want to prevent me from accessing your site unless I view ads, you have a very simple way to do that -- have your webserver return an error code unless I have viewed the ads. But once you have sent me the bytes, in my eyes, you lose any right to dictate how those bytes are processed or blackholed.

This is my view as well and I argue the danger of any other policy is authoritarian abuse of humans. Mandating that these companies have rights on devices _we_ paid for is a stepping stone to more egregious things.
If they did the whole vacuum tube thing, you’d want to sealed anyways, and maybe propel it using maglev, although I’m not sure what the heat properties are of that. I’m guessing they have to expend energy to keep the magnets cool anyways.
Yes that's exactly what I'm afraid of
My kids are facing this now and it doesn't seem to even exist. Some of them have Android phones, and they're still friends. My daughter doesn't even want an iPhone because she figures I will have more parental control over it than I would an Android phone.
Slight trolling here: That is a lot of scared. Do you also drive wearing a helmet and protective body suit?

If I have to guess, probably the man's livelihood depends upon driving to a job. That is probably why he kept driving.
That is really useful, thank you! I think first stage is building the game and see if the whole Genetic Algorithm/Monte Carlo Setup actually works, even if the first few iterations take weeks.

The issue is I want to figure out if there are combos that I don't even know exist that are unusually strong. Basically make sure I balance the card pool but automatically.
Good point, they should rename to scamblockers to change the narrative.

Yeah I did. As I said, maybe they thought this was going to reach the postfix crowd, but they name them in the article, indicate they're effected, and yet made no attempt to directpy inform the postfix guys?

From the wording of postfix's announcement, it's possible they did disclose the vulnerability itself, but witheld some kind of important information, whatever that means. Or else we have to take for granted that the postfix crew are lying about it.

Either way, why would you publish literally right before Christmas? People need time to check if they're affected and update or patch systems. At best it's highly inconsiderate, and it seems more negligent than inconsiderate.
At €60 a month, that is €720 a year.

OP indicated elsewhere here that they’re trying to cover some of the costs with side projects, but €720 anually is a big bill to foot for less affluent parents.

Show HN: Emu2 – A Gemini-like open-source 37B Multimodal Model
Hello HN,
I'm excited to introduce Emu2, the latest generative multimodal model developed by the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI). Emu2 is an open-source initiative that reflects BAAI's commitment to fostering open, secure, and responsible AI research. It's designed to enhance AI's proficiency in handling tasks across various modalities with minimal examples and straightforward instructions.

Emu2 has demonstrated superior performance over other large-scale models like Flamingo-80B in few-shot multimodal understanding tasks. It serves as a versatile base model for developers, providing a flexible platform for crafting specialized multimodal applications.

Key features of Emu2 include:

- A more streamlined modeling framework than its predecessor, Emu.

- A decoder capable of reconstructing images from the encoder's semantic space.

- An expansion to 37 billion parameters, boosting both capabilities and generalization.

BAAI has also released fine-tuned versions, Emu2-Chat for visual understanding and Emu2-Gen for visual generation, which stand as some of the most powerful open-source models available today.

Here are the resources for those interested in exploring or contributing to Emu2:

- Project: https://baaivision.github.io/emu2/

- Model: https://huggingface.co/BAAI/Emu2

- Code: https://github.com/baaivision/Emu/tree/main/Emu2

- Demo: https://huggingface.co/spaces/BAAI/Emu2

- Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.13286

We're eager to see how the HN community engages with Emu2 and we welcome your feedback to help us improve. Let's collaborate to push the boundaries of multimodal AI!

Self-responsibility is just a phrase. When elaborated into the idea you have suggested it crumbles. By the time the market corrects industrial causes of human suffering, far too much preventable suffering will have occurred.

This is the reason I've never liked LaTeX from a data point view. It's made to be printed out or get to look beautiful on a PDF but was never designed to get you to a HTML file or a Word file.

Don't forget Ultra Wide Band (another project that set fire to a pile of money used for hardware and software development), and the jettisoning of StrongARM.

I have a hard time believing that Intel will succeed at being a foundry this time around given how many failed prior attempts they have made. The foundry model is incompatible with the high margin duopoly CPU vendor model. What will prevent Intel from scheduling their own high margin products in fabs over foundry work from other companies? They will always have a business incentive to deprioritize their foundry customers when push comes to shove.

Reading some of the comments made by TSMC are enlightening. One of the reasons TSMC provided for their ability to succeed when Intel was flailing with their 10nm+++++ process is that TSMC runs experiments 24/7. This allows TSMC to run more experiments per day/week/month than Intel. I would really like to know when Intel starts running 3 shifts of process development engineers at a single fab to iterate faster, as that would be a true sign that meaningful change has occurred inside the beast.
Another study has already been done and failed to replicate this from what I can see.
UNC paths are pretty universally supported on modern windows and make things more similar to other platforms. (essentially there are symlinks that make the drive letter look like just an element of the larger path)
