Thanks for considering the response. I did not quite miss that bit, it's a bit of a tangled web of nuances. Ultimately, I don't think it matters whether a government provides healthcare was elected or not relative to that _not_ being an example of government exerting a monopoly on violence.

For the good track record, I'm referring to governments like the UK, Norway, France & Canada that all have better health outcomes compared to the privatized healthcare system of the US. The US system tends to stand out for the very specialized cutting edge (and super expensive) procedures; though you still have to overcome a lot of accessibility problems to get that. At present day, if you break a bone, have a child [1], need to be in hospital for a few days - generally you're better off not in the US

[1] "Despite spending less on coverage, France has comparable or even better health care outcomes than the United States. The United States has a higher rate of infant mortality. In France nearly four children die out of every 1000 live births. In the U.S. that number is closer to six." https://healthchoiceofmichigan.com/lectorium/MHzUCToycks

[2] https://www.brookings.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/dutton.... This resource sites that France was ranked #1 back in 2001. While the US might have improved in that time, it goes to show it has been decades where the US is not the leader in healthcare. This implies that on average and for at least a couple decades running now, there are better outcomes in other countries (than the US). The dependent variable does seem to be how healthcare is financed, payed for, and how the profit incentive compares between those different places.
I think this is yet another thread where I must, like the dozens times before, just repeat that Apple is disgustingly pathetic at software and services. and it hides its inaptitude behind the famously hostile opaqueness - in implementation, documentation, and communication.

That is not to say there’s no malice. Oh, there is. Hanlon’s razor cuts both ways in this particular case.
That’s presumably a precedent Apple doesn’t want to set.
from the Google Terms of Service ( https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US ), makes me wonder who owns what, since users of Gmail agree to it.

"We also collect the content you create, upload, or receive from others when using our services. This includes things like email you write and receive, photos and videos you save, docs and spreadsheets you create, and comments you make on YouTube videos."
Nice! My challenge is that I’d rather not maintain my own interfaces when the app does most of it.

At this point though I’m finding that the regular interface is nerfed to a degree that I’m building around it
Show HN: Hackersplit, browse HN posts in same tab using sidebar
Hi, I finally made my first extension. This extension allows to view HN posts in a sidebar, with the HN post discussion on one side, all while you stay on your current HN tab. I thought this would be handy for quickly skimming posts, dropping a query, or checking out comments simultaneously – all without the tab-switching. I have tried to keep the permissions minimal. I'm new to all this, there might be aspects I've overlooked. Would greatly appreciate any feedback or suggestions for improvement.
Isn't it a waste of human potential for people to spend time at a computer trying to push a few pixels around, when `display: flex` will solve the problem in a fraction of the time?
Now if the likes of Apple, Google and Microsoft could find those C devs to show them how their security departments are doing it all wrong.
Empirically, many bacteria seem to be able to acquire resistance in a way that doesn't significantly impact their fitness, meaning they can basically get new resistances and keep old ones for almost arbitrarily long, so the crop rotation idea would fail massively.

Er... This is what all these lawsuits against LLMs are hoping to disprove
Every lighthouse I've visited in California has a small automated light attached somewhere to it which is the real navigation aid, and everything else is just a history museum now.
Isn't there treble(3x) damages for knowingly selling something that violates others' IP? This seems like a risky gambit by Apple. I'm not sure what their endgame is, but having those potential damages stack up in the likely scenario the patent violations get upheld seems like they would be a big deterrent to having Masimo come to the table and negotiate.

Apart from those words, is there anything else you think is of concern compared to the progress made by humanity by making the tech available to millions of people?

Where is there ANY evidence that these summaries aren't accurate? Until you produce it, it's as substantial as ghosts and evil spirits.
I want to level up my coding and work on really complex software projects. Gems like puma and async (ruby gems). I also want to learn more about compilers and more about the computer.

My plan is to read SICP and also start contributing to these projects that I mentioned above.
If you ask the AI to cite its sources, it will. It will hallucinate some of them, but in the last few months it's gotten really good at sending me to the right web page or Amazon book link for its sources.

Thing is though, if you look at the prompts they used to elicit the material, the prompt was already citing the NYTimes and its articles by name.
At some point (maybe not yet) It's hard to say convincingly that what AI outputs is plagiarism but human output isn't. Not because AI is conscious or whatever, because it never outputs exactly what was in the training data and like humans combines everything they know to solve the issue in front of them
This is super useful for a side project of mine. I hope I have some time soon to put it to good use
Why testosterone levels are dropping at "alarming" rates [video]
I've found this really depends on the monitor. My Samsung gaming monitor hates this, while the plain Dell ones I have will switch around decently.
Whatever the theory, the government achieves quite a bit. Look at NASA, as one example, not to mention nuclear energy in all its applications, etc.
This was already discussed a few days ago, and the price of the battery went up substantially from the original estimate. While I'm sure this will be a favorite story to quote among those against EVs, this is more a story about estimate padding (and borderline insurance fraud) than anything else.
You'd effectively be asking it to cite sources on why the next token is statistically likely. Then it will hallucinate anyway and tell you the NYT said so. You might think you want this, but you don't.
... And they've already announced[1] that they will be retaining the exclusive blue bubble for iMessage messages for... reasons? The green/blue bubble distinction will continue even when there is no technical difference between messages.

Something’s been broken with their JSON mode/function calling since the Dev Day launch. I have a bunch of scripts that stopped consistently returning JSON when I swapped in the gpt-4-1106 preview and gpt-3.5-turbo has gotten similarly erratic. They really need to pause all the “move fast and break things” stuff because their API and services like ChatGPT are becoming increasingly unreliable.

Seems like Microsoft Excel is likely the single most important development in human history under this rubric.
Same reason why I write anything. Why would this be different?
Ohh. You think being owner of a company whose newspaper is read by hundreds of millions of people every day, doesn't put you in a position of power to control the society?
Awesome story! Yes, indeed PrusaSlicer is based on Slic3r :)
The article talks about that a bit, there have been a number of 'causes' of myopia that are 'common knowledge' but end up not holding water. Genetics and close-up work being the two major scapegoats. Modern studies are showing a lack of dopamine in the eyeball to be the most likely factor, without a strong link to genetics.
Copyright Is Brain Damage by Nina Paley [1] claimed that culture is like a bunch of neurons passing and evolving data to each other, and copyright is like severing the ties between the neurons, like brain damage. It also presented [2] an alternative way of viewing art and science, as products of the common culture, not a product purely from the creator, to be privatised. This sounds really relevant to your comment.

Furthermore, if we manage to "untrain" AI on certain pieces of content, then copyright would really become "brain" damage too. Like, the perceptrons and stuff.

All these more and more complex sleep modes on desktop seem like they're solving problems people don't have. I thought we solved suspend-to-RAM and suspend-to-disc years ago; wasn't the point of the +5VSB rail to keep stuff like RAM refresh going? Maybe on laptops where people are regularly suspending them, it's a bigger deal, but those are using bespoke power solutions and so ATX12VO solves nothing.

If it's so desperately vital that they have some "it's low-power, but still doing something like checking for notifications" mode, couldn't this be done with a mini-coprocessor with the specs of a RasPi 1 running on +5VSB?
For the electrical components, Digi-Key[1] and Mouser are the two go-to’s. I didn’t read 100% of everything, but unless he’s selling the PCB’s you’ll have to get them fabricated from the Gerber files in the repo. JLC is the go-to for this - expect to pay $5-$10 for a single-sided design like this, and you’ll probably get free shipping if it’s your first order.

Most processed food uses uniodized salt iirc, which is actually becoming a problem in parts of the USA where populations eat nothing but processed food.
I would tend to agree with this. But as a frugal person, I find I don’t spend enough money on certain categories.

One, often forgotten, value of a budget is to learn where you’re underspending and help enforce that. For me this is often education that disguises itself as entertainment (think books, dev kits, art supplies), travel, and random minor home improvements that don’t come out of the upkeep fund.

I’m very good at saving, but I’m terrible at spending on things that could actually make a qualitative difference in my life. So budgeting can help remind me I’m not spending enough on these things.
The bits you cite are legally bogus.

That would be like me just photocopying a book you wrote and then handing out copies saying we’re assigning different rights to the content. The whole point of the lawsuit is that OpenAI doesn’t own the content and thus they can’t just change the ownership rights per their terms of service. It doesn’t work like that.
Is there a SETI-like project to train LLM on libgen, scihub and the likes?
I would like to contribute my computing resources.
Great comment. The amount of anthropomorphizing that goes on in these threads is just baffling to me.

It seems obvious to me that, despite what current law says, there is something not right about what large companies are doing when they create LLMs.

If they are going to build off of humanity's collective work, their product should benefit all of humanity, and not just shareholders.
Now that I have a working GNU Radio-like base framework in Rust, I want to improve my understanding of DSP by implementing it.

if this is true, do you know the source of the meme that insulin is extremely expensive for uninsured people in the US?
Anecdata is not a thing.

I think this kind of data must be collected systemically, and if it isn’t, it is a failure to ask lawmakers about, not ex-pest-control professionals.
1.15V isn't that high. Most CPUs may idle at ~0.9V but when running full power, they throttle up much higher. Overclocking the modern Ryzen 7000 series seems to top out at ~1.2V. If this giant wafer isn't on the absolute latest process, that voltage is going to go up. So, 1.15V seems very reasonable to me.
Threema is a hell lot sketchy.

They produced, edited, interviewed multiple people including one of the people who worked directly on the project in question, and then provided a transcript of their conversation to make it accessible to a wider audience and that's lazy journalism?
This is good example of the limits of capitalism.
What makes you think my opinions will change based on how legacy systems work in real world? Just because a stupid system exists doesn't mean it's correct.
Agreed. And if BP really wants to change this, he needs to focus on Free Software as a starting point, not Open Source. He complains about RedHat/IBM circumventing the GPL but completely missing the fact that the "more permissive" open source licenses actually condone such behavior. They would even allow IBM to not provide source to their own customers, nevermind prohibiting redistribution.

IMHO the biggest threat to Free Software is the proliferation of open source software. And so the biggest threat to all the open source users/lovers is their own lack of a meaningful philosophy on licensing.
Yeah, JSON mode in Ollama, which isn’t even the full llama.cpp grammar functionality, performs better than OpenAI for me at this point. I don’t understand how they can be raking in billions of dollars and can’t even get this basic stuff right.
It's absolutely a spectrum, just like the individual conditions that make it up are spectra. (Everything is spectra. Is my friend who has arthritis in his otherwise working legs "physically disabled"? It depends on whether he's walking around a store or trying to run a marathon.)

"Neurotypical" here, when used as a binary adjective, means something like "close enough to the average on all the relevant spectra to not particularly benefit from special consideration". The exact line for where that is is going to be blurry and situationally dependent, because it's a shorthand for an approximation.
I'm Swiss. My grandfather has stories of family members afflicted with Goitre. What a great read!
Can you elaborate a bit more? That’s actually just a claim, not a legal argument.

Copyright law allows for transformative uses that add something new, with a further purpose or different character, and do not substitute for the original use of the work. Are LLM’s not transformative?
Can't have your cake and eat it too.

1. If you run different software (LLM), install different hardware (GPU/TPU), and use it differently (natural language), to the point that in many ways it's a different kind of machine; does it actually surprise you that it works differently? There's definitely computer components in there somewhere, but they're combined in a somewhat different way. Just like you can use the same lego bricks to make either a house or a space-ship, even though it's the same bricks. For one: GPT-4 is not quite going to display a windows desktop for you (right-this-minute at least)

2. Comparing to humans is fine. Else by similar logic a robot arm is not a human arm, and thus should not be capable of gripping things and picking them up. Obviously that logic has a flaw somewhere. A more useful logic might be to compare eg. Human arm, Gorilla arm, Robot arm, they're all arms!
Given the AI copyright debate also currently on the front page, I’m a bit less optimistic. We might end up with a lot of software not using open source directly, but having AI rewrite a roughly similar version just different enough to barely not count as plagiarism.
Kamal and Hetzner 50x cheaper than Heroku
I used to be an infinite canvas fanatic, even building products that leveraged the concept, but ultimately I’ve abandoned it. There are too many issues with having an infinite canvas that make it untenable. This isn’t to say they should never be used, but rather that I believe there are good reasons why they aren’t used more.

1. Ambiguous structure - users cannot easily glean the structure of content from the layout alone. For instance, on an arbitrary canvas, you don’t know if two things are close to each other to indicate a relation, or just for aesthetic reasons. This can be mitigated by ensuring relations are exposed in other ways, but unless everyone is super strict about including an underlying structure, this will always be an issue. Also, without a representation of the underlying structure, an infinite canvas is fundamentally inaccessible.

2. Navigation - finding all possible content on a canvas is hard. This can be mitigated with something like a mini-map, but frankly sticking to one dimension of “infiniteness”, eg scrolling, has shown to be the most effective for the average person to handle.

3. Implicit, but heterogeneous, affordances - when you have an infinite canvas, there are many more actions needed eg. pan, scroll, select, possibly lasso, possibly zoom…all of which need a mouse movement or keybinding or touch gesture, depending on the device and context. These all need to be discovered, or taught, and are often initially hidden from the view. This makes the learning curve far steeper, especially when users are accessing content from many different types of devices.

4. Responsiveness - it’s hard enough to make a paragraph of text easily viewed on multiple screen sizes, let alone a complex layout of objects with relations possibly conveyed spatially. Infinite canvases are difficult to reformat to get a good, legible layout on a screen other than the one the creator used. There are workarounds, but they often lose information unintentionally by repositioning items in ways the author didn't anticipate.
GenCast: Diffusion-based ensemble forecasting for medium-range weather
I briefly took up a hobby of trying to raise some tomato plants indoors. The lights that claim to emit the full spectrum of non-visible light to match sunlight are insanely expensive (thermally and otherwise). There's probably more to the sunlight's effects on dopamine production than lux.

How to Survive Long-Haul Flights
People who experienced a stable childhood seem to have a natural tendency to view the period they grew up in as, if not a golden age, then a safer, simpler time. Which makes sense: You’re too young to be aware of much of the complexity of the world, and your parents provide most of your essential needs and shield you from a lot of bad stuff.

That’s not to say all eras are the same. Clearly there’s better and worse times to be alive, but it’s hard to be objective about our childhoods.
Being public doesn’t mean copyright goes away. If you can’t use a 3rd party program even once without permission why would you assume you could use someone’s book etc to train a model without similar permission?

My guess is there’s going to be an exception given, but that’s not yet decided.
It does - when I call

Func( foo, foo);

I don't want foo to be loaded twice.

Theres also the `const` on the function itself. If I do:

struct Foo {
int GetVal() const {
return Val;
}

int Val
};

void Bar(const Foo& f){
int val1 = f.GetVal();
int val2 = f.GetVal();
assert(val1 == val2);
}

This is not guaranteed for a variety of reasons. This means that there are many optimisations that are just unavailable because of const, and there are guarantees that on first glance you expect to be true, but arent.

I understand why, we don't need to go into it, but its a mess that const doesn't actually mean constant.

It just means you've opted into coloured functions [0]. It's not quite as painful as async functions in js, but all the same arguments apply.

Who had motive to target Russian government officials, knowledge of the attack vectors, history of doing so, and technical and logistical ability to perform it leads Kaspersky and myself to the only rational conclusion: that Apple cooperated with the NSA on this exploit. I assume they only use and potentially burn these valuable methods in rare and perhaps desperate instances. I expect the Russian and Chinese governments' ban on use of Iphones will not be lifted and expand to other governments. Similarly to how the sanctions have backfired, this tactic will also backfire by reducing trust in Apple which is the core of their value proposition.

The extra hardware registers might have been discovered by examining the chip itself. One could find where the registers were on it, and notice some extra registers, then do some experimenting to see what they did.
Agree there was a lot of filler, but to be fair, your odd out-of-place zinger is just as annoying as the podcast. Fairly unattractive. And the cycle continues.

Ask HN: How Does Relativity Apply to Rotational Motion?
I'm trying to get a clearer understanding of how relativity works. While I understand that movement is relative in terms of linear motion, I'm curious about how this applies to rotational motion. Specifically, does the absence of centrifugal force in a system indicate that there is absolutely no rotation occurring? In other words, can we use the lack of centrifugal forces as a definitive sign of non-rotation in absolute terms, or is this concept still subject to relativity?
Mourning 2.0: the AI-driven era of coping with loss in China
The burden of proof is the reverse, in any field of knowledge it's on the person making the claim. I could make up anything in the world (and many people do); it's the requirement for support that separates truth from fiction, science from fraud, fact from misinformation. You can't publish a scientific paper without evidence, and say 'it's true until someone proves otherwise'; it's false until you prove it. Same in a courtroom or anywhere else.

Until there is sufficient evidence that the summary is accurate, there's no reason to believe that it is.

fwiw, all caps is against HN guidelines. I'm mentioning it because there seems to be a rash of it this week.
How the switch via screen edge works if it doesn't need any progs installed on your computer? Doesn't the absolute mouse coordinate space need two identical monitors? And how it figures out when you are at the edge of the screen?

> Pizza Hut franchises are preparing to pivot toward third-party apps like DoorDash, GrubHub and UberEats for pizza and food deliveries.

And if you know how "minimum wage" works for DoorDash, etc. drivers in CA...
