If anything, science has proved God is alive more than anything before. Let’s look at chaos and constants alone.

The universe is mostly dead. What exists degrades in all kinds of ways. Science’s best theories of creation are driven by randomness. Yet, all the Big Bang’s and chaotic systems we make produce exactly zero design. All the systems we build take effort to fight against nature to even run, degrade over time, and break down. Empirically, that’s what we should expect of the universe’s machinery.

Then, we look at the universe to find it has dozens of laws and components that stay constant in form. They never fail. They’re more precise than anything humans can create. They work together in a precise way, too, with protocols that also never fail. Our human life on this planet depends on basically all of them. Empirically, they look like a designer of unimaginable knowledge and power both precisely designed them and maintains them. That’s God.

From there, we look at testimony since our knowledge is mostly built on that anyway. Many claim to have heard from God. One book, the Bible, came with specific prophecies that were fulfilled (eg Israel being recreated), medical knowledge, miracles that repeat everywhere it goes (one saved me), life transformations, and answered prayers. They start when we believe in Jesus who died for our sins and rose again with more historical testimony than about anyone else.

Most things need to be changed to market to their audience. The few beliefs that went global fed people’s egos (do the right works) or spread by the sword. The Gospel of Jesus Christ reached several thousand people groups in around 200 countries despite no changes in the message. It did this while saying we can’t save ourselves but only Christ can save us.

So, we have a universe that looks designed, only a revelation can lead us to the designer, Christ confirmed He is by conquering death, and His Word is the most proven with the widest impact on people. God is very alive and you can know Him personally if you repent and believe in Christ. You will live forever, too.

It makes me feel as if they're aggressively picking up where Forever 21 left off.

The Men's section looks like it would all be worn by the same dude (a certain British vegan chef with a goatee on YouTube).
Just emailed you one. I can't give them away...

I have also decided to give up all social media like this until at least February, and the past week has been a big improvement for me
But why isn't the whole thing just an activitypub client? It seems like it's an open protocol in the same way OOXML was an open format.
In theory it threatens the power structure of the world, especially as we cede control of government and administrative functions to it. An impartial, incorruptible force is terrifying to a lot of folks.

Dang, that hurts bro geez, no technical specific points about the paper?
> We will have so much more time to be human in a world ran by AI.

What does it mean “to be human”? What will it mean to be human when the things that quintessentially make up the human condition are being handled by an AI?

People talk about these rosy futures involving loads of free time waiting for us when AI takes over, but is that what anyone actually wants? Will people find purpose with all of this time to “be human”?

And an AI taking over certainly does not free humanity from bullshit. At best, it frees up potential bandwidth. But we’ve been freeing humanity from “bullshit” for decades/centuries now, and as a species, we haven’t shown a tendency to use that freed time well.

I’m not against advancing technology, but I don’t think we have any reason to believe in these kinds of utopian visions.
No, and my statement doesn't necessarily imply that.

> "it's just twitter but you can write and use custom clients and feed algorithms" is a compelling proposition

For the average twitter user this is probably the exact opposite of a compelling position. Tech people want more control and less abstraction. Everyone else is happy with their walled gardens and ten layers of separation from the machine code. Its why things are the way they are and not some technopunk utopia that we all want.
Does anyone else feel like a failure for not creating their own AI based startup yet ?

I was playing with machine learning back in 2018 and I just lost interest. Now I'm past 30 and it's too late.

Edit: The 30 line is in jest, but I definitely don't have the same drive anymore.
What do you mean be replaced wholly?
Can you be more specific? Sorry, I don’t understand how I failed to make an argument, and I certainly didn’t mean for this to be incoherent!
> You still can't send videos and gifs. That's just, so basic for a social network.

Yeah, I'd agree if you're looking for a more polished social media client then Twitter, Threads, and even some Mastodon clients will probably better serve you. But the official client primarily exists as a means to an end (building atproto) rather than an end in itself. Those features are still on the roadmap, I believe, but just not a priority at the moment. There are alternative clients (a bunch for web, at least one for iOS) you may have better luck with.

> Let alone all the other missing things, and how awful the apps are. They are basically the worst example to show React Native.

Bluesky has a pretty small team, all things considered. I think they've said in the past it would have been impossible for them to do apps for iOS, Android, and web without React Native. FWIW, Dan Abramov joined them a few months ago and has been working in public on tackling some of the more tricky RN bugs.

I run proxmox for my router (opnsense) and several servers on it like gitlab, Mastodon, matrix chat, lemmy and some others.
I was never a fan of the priests, but I’m not convinced a bunch of processors and RAM standing on each other’s shoulders in a data center, controlled by accelerationists, is going to be better.
Somewhat off topic, I love your website designs. They are simple but look great with a good use of color and space. The copy is also very well done.

What do you use to design your websites (Heynote and Locust)? Are you working off a template?
Agreed. We have problems that we have polynomial algorithms for but we don’t use them because their exponential counterparts are orders of magnitude faster on average.
Really impressive! They missed the chance to market this as "BLAZINGLY fast inference"
I've been using kagi for almost a year, I think. Before that it was startpage or DDG.

I also have the same experience where kagi doesn't find something I think it should, so I go try google. Holy hell is google bad. Shockingly bad. I genuinely can't believe how bad it is now compared to 10 years ago.
My reply is: whatever.

If you're here to win debates for the sake of it, you can have the last word.

I only mentioned those beliefs and I'm not interested in debating them in a hacker news thread, right now.

> What is new are all the people who are just learning about it and think they have new ideas.

While I really appreciate it when people like to educate when things are not actually new, I'd say leave this sort of tone checked. It doesn't help your cause at all.
No idea what you're doing to see that. Either view your feed of people you're following, or follow curated or algorithmic feeds to your liking. That's the whole point of bsky, the choice.

IMHO submit the news article as the post, and go the extra mile to add the paper as a comment with one or two sentences of explanatory context, or the abstract. IIRC you've done that before.
I gave up at the idea of focusing on all those costs and business things which seemed to imply there was a company writing code before there was even a product. Sounds like a nightmare of a workplace.
Bluesky seems to be the "backup" for a lot of Twitter users. When Twitter had their outage a day or two ago the network activity spiked to some of the highest levels seen since like October.
The original PaaS!

No, it's some kind of church or religious group called Tree Of Life, they purchased the entire building and lease the data center portion to Expedient (a regional data center provider), do church service in the auditorium, and rent the offices out. Our offices were on the upper floor corner looking over the back parking lot along the road (near edge on the right of the building in the photo on the article)

Well that's my point. People learn character and wisdom by being shown, not being taught, and nobody was showing them.
Technology will always evolve, but it might evolve back to knapping flint and starting fires with sticks.
Doesn't sub-quadratic attention fundamentally imply forgetting things?
The problem with that is coordination. All the Mastodon servers would need to align, agree, and implement this new process. The whole point of Mastodon is that it is federated, and so consensus will ensure progress is limited to the lowest common denominator.
It’s just running bog standard Llama2-70B by all appearances.

I don’t know why so many people here are interested in the outputs. The whole point of this demo is that the company is trying to show off how fast their hardware could host one of your models, not the model itself.
Google should be prioritizing sites which have fewer backlinks as it's proof that they didn't cheat and are likely higher quality. Or just random ranking; only require a certain low threshold of backlinks to establish baseline relevance.
Sure, what's your point? We like our new norms better (with some qualifications -- a lot of things are still changing and being figured out).
> Now I'm past 30 and it's too late.

How. that's related to developing an AI startup?
Bluesky considers lack of activitypub a feature. They don’t want push-content, they want local organic communities.
I came here looking for the full text and found none. Maybe our fellow commenters are LLMs fine tuned on pre-2023 HN comments?
if P=NP, could the question still be undecidable? as in, could there be an algorithm for 3SAT that, in practice, happens to be polynomial-time and correct, but there's no way to prove the algorithm's correctness and/or time complexity under any system of formal logic?

There are a couple other "california place names" but this was the one I skimmed in a "how to read a book" fashion, so I managed to retain quite a bit from it.
> to literally eliminate human labor

In a manner of speaking, of course.
Why is it too late? Plenty of founders are over 30. Even YC is happy to fund middle career founders rather than just college kids.
I agree that Twitter was a weird amalgamation of different people who wanted to use the site for different things… but for me that’s one of the things that made it compelling. I get to read a person’s musing on JavaScript frameworks and also see pictures of their dog and see them react in real time to a World Cup game.

IMO Twitter was a very compelling place to be during a breaking news event (and I don’t just mean political news, could be cultural, sports etc) and none of the alternatives have replicated that yet. Mastodon is maybe not even technically capable of it (because federation introduces a delay in message delivery).

I do enjoy niche discussions on Mastodon but once you’ve removed time as an influential factor for importance the default chronological view doesn’t feel anywhere near as to me.
Choice is only good if the options are differentiated and easy to understand.

A bunch of algo and client options sound good for someone who is already a committed user, but for a new user it just complicated the onboarding experience.

Not to mention, it’s unclear what the incentive to put real resources behind any of these clients is.
.mhtml (or .mhtm) is that format. It's an archive containing an HTML file along with all the resources it references (JavaScript, CSS, and images). These browsers support it: Internet Explorer, Edge, Opera, Chrome, Yandex, and Vivaldi. Create one by saving the web page and choosing the .mhtml format. Safari supports another format called webarchive.

Twitter clones thus far have all been cover bands with a different (speaker) stack. Focus seems to be entirely on the backend protocol side - important for decentralization but fixing only part of the problem.

I haven't seen much in the way of innovation on the UX itself, which is what I'm really interested in. I guess its a mix of a) why mess with success, twitter-like design is proven to work, b) a lack of experimental startup product culture that's willing to try new things, c) not having good ideas, and d) just not enough time because they're focused on basics.
Its using vanilla llama-2 from Meta with no fine tuning. The point here is the speed and responsiveness of the underlying HW and SW.
Kagi.

Startpage is a good wrapper for Google if you care about privacy. (Or it was, I haven't checked in many years)

DDG is worse than google, IMO. Bing works, I guess, but I trust Microsoft almost as much as I trust google.

At this point I've given up on Google. If I can't find it in kagi after a bit of effort, I'll either work around it or ask a person I know in the given field.

God, the internet sucks so much now. I miss the early 2000s :(
And Google's stated goal is to "organize the world's information," which they have not (yet?) fully accomplished. Yet no one considers Google a startup.
I remember so many people who said, “yeah right, Threads will never connect to Mastodon,” and yet here we are. What a time to be alive?
The OpenAI moat is private datasets, a sizable chunk of the best talent, proprietary discoveries (like whatever Q* is) that keep them ahead of everyone else, and lobbying advantages that will help them to survive future AI regulations. It doesn’t matter that much if you can build your own AI system with open source tech as long as OpenAI’s solutions are better and cheaper to use.
You’re right and I agree it’s not ideal tone. I’ll leave it for posterity but it does get frustrating.

Imagine how Jurgen feels :/
I feel like I've been in some dark places with technology and at present am in a pretty good place with it, personally anyway. But, societies move slower than people and there's always the chance the rock bottom that teaches you the lesson kills you, so it's not necessarily a rosy outcome - but I don't know how we pump the breaks at this point. We also have an extraordinary amount of greed gremlins acting in bad faith out there that make it difficult to do things.
Not everything should be suitable for machine-processing. A certified MS professional should administer Active Directory. HR software should be paid for and learned how to use it first.

On my second startup we payrolled via Google Spreadsheet. By the way, it is also an okay storage for employee data.
ActivityPub wasn't the first federated web discussions protocol. It isn't even a good one. Given how few users use ActivityPub-based services, it makes sense to experiment while the window is open.
The AI god will actually be able to keep track of who’s blaspheming thanks to all the surveillance we live under.

There are a lot of news sources that are written primarily to inform investors, like WSJ and Bloomberg. I wouldn't place the NYT in the same niche, although I suppose most business reporting takes a similar perspective. That having been said, NYT has reported on working conditions at various employers as well, along with various other, let's say "negative coverage".

Lots of comments talking about the model itself. This is Llama 2 70B, a model that has been around for a while now, so we're not seeing anything in terms of model quality (or model flaws) we haven't seen before.

What's interesting about this demo is the speed at which it is running, which demonstrates the "Groq LPU™ Inference Engine".

That's explained here: https://groq.com/lpu-inference-engine/

> This is the world’s first Language Processing Unit™ Inference Engine, purpose-built for inference performance and precision. How performant? Today, we are running Llama-2 70B at over 300 tokens per second per user.

I think the LPU is a custom hardware chip, though the page talking about it doesn't make that as clear as it could.

https://groq.com/products/ makes it a bit more clear - there's a custom chip, "GroqChip™ Processor".
The author took a position on the name’s newness, which implies he did some research.

Blog authors like this remind me of ChatGPT: they write with an affected authoritativeness completely disconnected from the actual value of their words.

This gains them a following in the same sort of way that Donald Trump, Joe Rogan, or Jordan Peterson gain a following.

That’s also sad to see.

Stuff like that makes me gain sympathy for the luddites. Wasn't the purpose of technology always to solve human problems? This is more akin to seeing technology as some sort of mystical independent force that we have to obey and be glad if it occasionally solves problems.

The former is making a fire to heat your home, the latter is the mindset of a pyromaniac.

Too early to tell about momentum tbh. Getting networks to collectively move takes time. From a protocol level I think Bluesky probably has opportunity for better UX than Mastodon, which is incredibly clunky when taking actions cross-server.

I joined an AI startup in 2021 as the first employee. Both founders were already older than 30 back then. One of them was even 35+ gasp. We raised $40M+ since then. No OpenAI like valuation but by no means bad I’d say! Especially for a European startup.

Get yourself together and rise to the challenge!
There’s always (at least in this era) going to be a market for a could-based saas. Most companies are more than fine using a solid HTTP API and a lot of people (I’d say the majority) just need a nice ready to use web client. So I think they’re good for the next few years.

Openai has the branding advantage over the competition too. Chatgpt is kind of like what Google is for search engines. So the competition not only needs a good enough product (I’d even say you might need to offer more if you want to compete with the big players) but they also need good marketing to attract users.
Truly rich people don't buy things to impress other people. They buy things that impress and inspire themselves, and that are not directly connected to the nuevo riche who are trying to emulate them.
What I posted wasn't about fentanyl. They implied that overdoses happen just as much with prescription pain killers that have consistent doses and what I posted shows that people aren't overdosing on known doses, they die when they combine drugs.
I have used the USB-C apple adapter with linux and it works fine. I used it for a year hooked up to an older dell laptop (Xubuntu and later Manjaro) for my home sound system (spotify client on the laptop). Works great for the money. I eventually moved to a standalone dac. Not sure it sounds any better but is more versatile.
At least in section 2, the biggest way you're deluding yourself is in assuming that you can extract a small number of candidate solutions from the problem. If you actually work on any of the NP-complete problems you'll quickly realize that they have huge numbers of candidate solutions which are wrong. So, to find a true solution, you have to apply the solution verification algorithm (the one in P) a great many times, leading to the all known algorithms being super-polynomial.

More generally, you seem to think that problems in P and those in NP are considered unrelated. In fact, for all of the NP-complete problems (SAT, Travelling Salesman, knapsack etc) verifying a single candidate solution is a problem in P. However, the best known algorithms for solving the full problem are to iterate over all candidate solutions and run the P algorithm for each - which is exponential time or worse for all of these problems.

To find a P algorithm that solves one of the NP-complete problems, you need to find an idea that is better than just trying solutions to see if they fit.
That part's in jest.

But I really don't have the same drive I did just a few years ago. I was actively on Twitter trying to reach out to VCs to pitch my ideas.
