Indeed, you could be in a meeting with a headphone and they would have no way to know if it's okay to enter the room without that.
That's a great question and I would like to know too. It looks like the answer is substantially faster than an equally sized Transformer, and the end result will score better than a Transformer on basically every benchmark. Also it will do inference 3-5x faster in half the RAM.
Why not limit the renderer to openai cdn and for any other image render a placeholder with the optional ability to review the url and whitelist the response.
Florida is significantly more white than California (51% of the population, vs 34%).
Faster training, much faster inference, and about half the VRAM usage during inference.
The curious legacy of Tron: Legacy
I don't think you understood me.

If I ask GPT5 to "write a patent application for a method to optimize a program that does X, which is not currently patented", and it produces something that would be accepted as patentable, without that patentable idea being in its training data... that should not be patentable.

If I ask GPT5 to "write a patent application for this specific method of optimizing a program that does X, described as follows: [...]" that's completely irrelevant because the LLM clearly isn't inventing anything, whether or not the idea is in the training data already.

Being able to get an LLM to puke any idea back at you was not the point. If the idea is so obvious that an LLM can infer it from training data not including that specific idea, then it's not very novel.

If by some good fortune LLMs start to spit out truly novel ideas, I will be blown away most of all, but those ideas probably shouldn't be patentable either, based on the principles behind the patent system. Granting temporary monopolies to people based on the output of true machine intelligence only on a 1st come 1st serve basis would hurt the whole world. Being first in line to ask isn't virtue.

> Turning Flynn into, like, the Che Guevara version of Steve Jobs has some historical weight. In the original Tron, Flynn was a brilliant creative nudged out of a company he built by monolithic suits. Incredibly, this became the Steve Jobs origin myth after the movie's release, when the Apple board demanded his resignation in 1985. Jobs was still alive in 2010, and his Silicon Santa routine reflected a mainstream burst of rampant optimism about computer technology. The world will never feel that optimism again. And you should be alarmed, maybe, by the fact that the young Kevin Flynn preaching about humanity's bright techno-future looks like an unfinished deepfake.
Corporate communication by this point is some sort of injoke. You are a loser if you don't "get it".

It is bad since I think I notice how the phycopatic behaviour smears of to people.
It's more about what's possible to build. Dual 4090 or 3090 is possible to setup without hassle. Beyond that not really because it'd be above home power socket rating, not possible to fit on the board and case etc.

It's true you can also build dual A6000 with 48+48 = 96GB VRAM also, but that's $10k+ setup just for GPUs on legacy generation.
The reason they're doing that is because theyre going to be tested on that knowledge when finding employment. It's harder than ever to be full stack, but there's plenty of competition.
For many, many services, requiring an entire separate exploit against the kernel is a huge win. So many services can just be dropped into a container with roughly 0 effort. If you want a higher level of security it's going to take significantly more effort.
Hmm? That one works just fine, the dropdowns are regular <select> and those are the only focusable pieces.

Now something you can definitely complain about is the dialog not submitting with Enter.

GPT-5 will not, because the T in GPT stands for Transformer and Mamba/SSMs/S6 are not Transformers.

But I would bet that we see a SOTA S6 LLM from Meta by this Spring.

That's not true at all. There are lots of circumstances where adding (good) code adds velocity.

Imagine I'm trying to do a bunch of graphics stuff. The code I write to integrate a 3rd party graphics library will make my future development faster. I am effectively creating a lever I will later use to increase my productivity.

Say I need to do a bunch of linear algebra. Code I write to calculate dot products, determinants etc (or better yet to use a library to do those things) will greatly accellerate progress later and enable me to think in terms of the linear transformations I'm trying to accomplish rather than the underlying primitive operations.
I used to use CalyxOS till GrapheneOS got Google Place Sandbox working. Now there is nothing I can't get working on GrapheneOS. Everything works including Google Pay. I just have a user profile for when I need to use an app that needs Google and otherwise my main user profile is just apps that work without Google.

To me this is leagues ahead of any other degoogled experience because at any time I can temporarily turn on Google when I need it (and I often do). But it doesn't defeat the purpose because for the most part you can just turn it off

I don't know if this comment will be found in the sea of great comments in this thread, but I think this article is the answer to Adam Curtis' film Hypernormalisation.

The premise is that humans are currently trapped in an endless cycle and we have no concept of how to break out of it, but I think this might at least provide some context as to why.

I highly recommend watching it (along with his other documentaries) if you found this article fascinating. It's like this in video form.
I have never used the Elgato, so I can't speak to its qualities. When I was on the market for a mic though, I've found the Procaster to be on a completely different level than any USB mic I had tried (the Procaster connects via XLR, i.e. an audio interface is needed). It just gives you this nice soothing "professional audio" sound. No affiliations with the vendor btw, just really happy with the mic :)

I stated my carer developing systems in an enterprise setting but have since moved into the wonderful space of companies transitioning from startup to enterprise. So I’ve worked a lot in this space, and while I’m not sure that I necessarily agree that old complex software is unmanageable legacy, there is a lot of truths in this article. In my experience software doesn’t really have to be “legacy” to encounter these issues. In fact a lot of 30+ year old systems are both better and more maintainable than things developed within the past 5 years. Which is probably an interesting case on its own, but let’s keep on topic!

The way I like to handle these systems is to slowly transition things into “microservices”. I put in in quotes because it doesn’t necessarily have to be what many think of when they read the word “microservices”, and in truth they aren’t at all since they often build upon complex shared data models with all the “fun” that comes with that. Eventually I like to build things in to actual microservices, but it’s often a loooong if not impossible struggle to get there within most organisations which view IT as a cost center on par with HR but without the communication charms. Anyway, what I like to do is to separate complex business logic into their own “microservices” so that anything related to X lives in a single smallish services instead of a big complex system. One which is example is how we’ve got a “budget upload and computation”, a ”liquidity (not entirely sure that’s the correct English word)”, and, a “bank account” service all of which used to be part of this huge complex system, but are now separated completely in terms of the responsibility for their particular businesses logic.

Eventually this breaks complex systems into a ton of minor services, which comes with its own set of issues and is obviously against a lot of what you’re taught in academic computer science because often you’ll have similar code in multiple systems, but it’s sooo much more maintainable and it’s so much easier to move fast and implement what the particular teams in an enterprise organisation needs for their particular business logic. In my example, we’ve gone from five teams having to wait literal months for changes to being able to implement them within a week, and often the same day they are requested. We’ve also lowered our incident reports on problems from less than 60% to above 90% each month. I’m not sure why we call it lowered when higher is better, but whatever.
Serious question: Given that AI's may (apparently) not own patents, what would be the implication if an AI (presumably) independently comes up with Nobel Laurette level chemistry/[science] - What happens to such body of work WRT the greater humanity? Who owns such (whatever the product is?)

If a company has built upon whatever AI GOLLUM service, and then either the GOLLUM comes up with some epic thing, is it all for the corp that owns the GOLLUM? Does the AI provider get some slice?

Is this already a solved problem and I dont know what to call it?

You can use a transducer to excite any physical surface. This is how plate reverbs work for instance.

You could stick one (or two) transducers to a guitar or piano and then mic it up, and get the sound of the body of that instrument and parasympathetic resonance of any undamped strings.

The body is quite easily modelled with an impulse response, but parasympathetic resonance in DSP is still not great
I think that’s a gross overstatement. My impression is that these are PoCs demonstrating certain properties but not actually useful for computation. It’s an important milestone, but I think it’s too early to tell how close we are to cracking 1024 bit RSA, assuming it’s even possible to achieve anywhere near the theoretical speed up in reality. Remember - theoretical is based on our current models but in practice real-world physics comes into play & starts limiting the ability to scale this up to perform computations faster than classical approaches. It’s entirely possible that there’s a missing link in our model that would prevent us from realizing anything like the idealized quantum computer that could be used to solve BQP/EQP problems efficiently.

I used to have a full blown desk, and a library with lots of books behind me, but I replaced all of it with a "temporary" hack: an Ikea closet [1].

I say"temporary" because I haven't changed it since the start. It's also very convenient: when I open up the door, the closet lights automatically turn on, and when I close the whole thing, it's like the office isn't even there...

I'm still working on convincing my wife to put a baby grand in the reclaimed space however, which seems to be a bigger task.

Ah well, first class world problems I guess... Move along people!

Everyone is different. I've been mostly/fully remote for a couple of decades now. My primary machine is a 14" MBP (sometimes a 16" MBP for clients). I use "multiple desktops" religiously on MacOS. This pattern works for me and I can work from my couch, bed, kitchen table the same way. When traveling, this pattern works as well.

Is it optimal? No. I prefer mechanical keyboards and have multiple servers in my house. But a consistent work solution is more important.
It may worth mentioning the modern successor of the SOS technology is SOI. A thin film of crystaline silicon insulated from the bulk by a thin film of SiO2 is used for fabrication of the circuits.
It's interesting what people would say about the safety of industrial chemicals. My dad worked as an aircraft maintenance engineer for an airliner, working on the big passenger aircraft. When he was being trained in the 70s/80s, they used 111-trichloroethane for a lot of stuff. They were told that the stuff was so safe that you could drink it. Later, he got kidney cancer. He sued and got only partial compensation because the court concluded that there was only a 50% chance that his cancer was from the 111-trichloroethane. Of course, today, we as a society still don't know if it causes cancer, but we think it might. https://wwwn.cdc.gov/tsp/ToxFAQs/ToxFAQsDetails.aspx?faqid=4...

Still, whether or not it does, it's wild that people would say things like that back then. Hey all, use this stuff, but you probably wouldn't want to drink it while you have lunch, right? Because we don't know what it really does to the body, so let's play it safe and use proper safety procedures, OK?

Nope, it's, "this stuff is harmless, you could drink it and you'll be fine."

> Why does Tailwind not build framework agnostic UI components?

They do. As part of the original TailwindUI product you get UI component templates where you can choose between React, Vue or plain HTML (= framework agnostic!) versions of the source.

However the React version is essentially a big monolithic template, which is what they are trying to address with Catalyst, where those templates are being split up into components (+ other improvements).
I agree with what you said, but would suggest also using the god-mode package.
With that, when you hit Esc, you enter "command mode" (hit Esc again to exit it) so most keys you press will be treated as "Ctrl-<key>". So instead of holding Ctrl pressed all the time, you just hit some keys (npbfae) to move around... and search is just "s". Most vim users would just use evil-mode but for the rest of us this is a good compromise and once you get used to it, it avoids the pinkies very well.

I think those 79 engineers should have paid more attention to compatibility and longevity. The cable should have been tested in a dirt tumbler. There is no way a cable should have 32 pins without some kind of built in self test of connectivity on all the pins every time you plug it in. Pins should be reassignable so that when 6 of the 32 pins are dirty/broken the cable still works at a slightly reduced speed.

All the Comms should have been done via an OFDM-like scheme rather than just a binary sequence over a twisted pair, giving far more throughput and allowing for compensating for conductive dirt in the plug causing crosstalk.

Overall, I believe such a design would have reduced costs, since there is no longer a need for such precision on cable and plug manufacture, which more than compensates for a tiny OFDM 'modem' inside the USB phy.
An imperceptible inconsistency can become perceptible if it is cumulative, such as mass not being conserved very slightly, but over time the amount of water changes significantly - one ad hoc solution is to redistribute the missing water (or remove surplus) everywhere, to compensate.
Okay, so the increase in risk means something in the realm of half a percent chance? I wish they would use the real numbers too; the baseline is really unclear.
Mmm, seems like I need to read it a third time. Thanks for pointing that out!
The verbosity certainly seems to me to be a specific change they have made. My guess is by getting it to do more "thinking out loud" they are trying to get it to do the kind of reasoning it used to only do when you prompted it to give its chain of thought, because that generally gives better results[1].

That is basically what CarPlay is, using proprietary streaming similar to AirPlay (which works wirelessly, not only over a cable). It’s slightly more sophisticated than a dumb audio/video/touch pipe: the phone can indicate different audio modes (music, navigation alert, etc.) and the car can send notifications (low on fuel, use dark mode), but these are optional.
>This isn’t a discussion about all bugs but the class of bugs created from dealing with clever code. Very difficult bugs may be fairly quick to solve in comparison to simple bugs that require some long process to replicate. Time to solve really doesn’t map well to difficulty.

It does. A bug solved in seconds is usually considered less difficult than one solved in weeks. It maps easily.

>False, you clearly missed me stating it intelligence was “one” limitation not the only limitation. Poor tooling can be a massive pain among many other things. Again though this is talking about debugging a very specific kind of unnecessarily complex code.

The quote was suggesting absolutism one limitation. By showing the existence of an equivalency I've shown the quote is not absolute. Therefore the quote is not intelligent. Therefore your statement is false and nonsensical.

I don't have any skin in this game (not American, currently own a Petrol car in SEA and a Diesel in Australia), but isn't the move to NACS almost entirely driven by manufacturers wanting (customer) access to the better-maintained and faster charging network, rather than some intrinsic benefit of the plug itself?
Perhaps to state the obvious: all these lessons mostly pertain to making large companies with history, processes, and bureaucracy/coordination costs a little less stuck in self-serving projections.

Indeed, most of the Amazon business heuristics published elsewhere pertain to rivalry within and among groups -- lessons learned from Microsoft.

Actually "building business value" means making the right decisions, and not making self-serving decisions is not good enough for that.
Fear of possible misuse of PII can lead to financial compensation by controller

I’m trying to put myself into the shoes of the blog’s author. I just finished my math degree. It wasn’t at an elite school. I enjoy math for recreation though I’ve never been a contender in contest math.

I think I can understand why the author complains about drilling for math contests. I think it’s the same reason high level chess players complain about opening book. Drilling is not fun and it reduces the creative element of solving the actual problems.

The fact that he wasn’t doing it for fun but for college admissions plays a lot into it as well. That kinda pressure can really kill the fun.

> Compliance WITH WHAT???

With the licensing of patents? Duh?

> I'm a patent litigator

Ah. I'm reminded of the famous quote — "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it." Community discussions are wher you talk with other people, not to win on a technicality in a courtroom.

> nobody uses the word compliance in this field

I'm sorry that the word compliance isn't sufficiently in-group for you. Perhaps tell people that you want to gate-keep rather than discuss, as it'll save other people a lot of time.
What's with all the negativity here on HN, especially about the pricing?

The Tailwind team created one of the most used CSS frameworks ever and charge nothing for it. The framework needs a revenue stream to enable continued investment. Rails has basecamp. Bootstrap had twitter. React has meta. Tailwind has Tailwind UI.

I find it great value. It's a one-off cost comparable to hiring a designer or front-end developer for a day, and you get a bunch of usable components + future upgrades.

Usually HN isn't as negative about revenue streams for open-source developers.
It's way more seamless, especially if keeping the google apps in a work profile. Every UI component on android where an app or activity can be chosen (e.g. the share menu) already has a small toggle to toggle between these profiles.
The work profile filesystem can also be mounted and is then visible in the file explorer. The only issue is that it's only possible to have one additional work profile. Otherwise full user profiles must be used which are less convenient.
