> If feeding AI generated stuff to train an AI is bad then what does that tell us about humans consuming AI generated stuff?

It's not unqualified bad. It is bad if you do it for many times in a loop, and without any external inputs. But you can put fresh material right in the prompt and it won't suffer from retraining on synthetic data.

If you train a small model from scratch on purely synthetic data, like the Microsoft Phi models, it comes out competent and 5x more efficient than models trained on web text. So there's the flip side. You can do it in bad way, and you can do it in a good way.

That's not true. I'd say it's virtually impossible to lose money if you are charging 10% of the price of games.

Their store is losing money because they are giving out a ton of free games, in the hope of attracting clients.
The last time I participated in a project with all those terms (not 'next gen, it was' future', but the idea is the same), it gave birth to the legislation that forces manufacturers to keep providing spare parts 10 years after product EOL, and to provide plans for independants builders after that.

Also, as Denmark recently discovered, homogeneity is not simply dependent on a social safety net but exists within a symbiotic relationship with the latter.

RAG vs. Fine-Tuning: Pipelines, Tradeoffs, and a Case Study on Agriculture
The paper "RAG vs Fine-tuning: Pipelines, Tradeoffs, and a Case Study on Agriculture" compares Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and fine-tuning techniques in Large Language Models (LLMs). It proposes pipelines and evaluates their trade-offs using popular LLMs like GPT-4. The paper includes a detailed case study in agriculture to provide location-specific insights to farmers. Results show that fine-tuning improves model accuracy significantly, and when combined with RAG, it enhances accuracy even further. The paper demonstrates how LLMs can be adapted for industry-specific knowledge, potentially transforming various industrial domains.

C23 is scheduled to promote bool, alignof & co. to keywords, so the concern for using _Xxx keywords is recognized by the committee. They introduce _Xxx keywords, sometimes alias them to lowercase versions with macros and let this age. Then, some time after, they switch to the "primary spelling", which is how the lowercase versions are referred to.

You can't easily lowercase _Type and _Var, so practically speaking it will take years before these features could be suitable for wide-spread adoption. Hence my original comment - given the friction, is it worth expanding the language this way at all then?

Making diy biochar imho makes sense if you have dry, wood-ish material (Arundo, bamboo, branches). Otherwise you are likely to produce a lot of smoke for little biochar.

As for the garden organic waste one can tie itself in knots trying to balance this or that. In my experience shallow trench composting works just fine. You do not get a smelly pile leaking fluids, packs of slugs / swarms of flies. No extra work (mixing, distribution).
Earthworms will also thank you.
You may have issue with hardy weeds and rats, so you milage may vary.
One can ferment the weeds in a plastic bag before buring them lowering the chance of spouting, but this is extra and quite smelly work.
One can also dig deeper(+30cm of earth cover). Less chance of weeds and animals digging to snack on a rotten carrot.

Seems points deductions are becoming more common in the game, and leagues are increasingly being decided by what happens off the pitch, rather than on it.

I think it's also a very dangerous precedent to penalise clubs, and their standing in the league, for the actions of their fans. No doubt this precedent will grow, and clubs will be forced to hammer down extremely hard on anything society deems remotely inappropriate through fear of losing points.

If somebody has broken the club's rules, they should be ejected. If somebody has broken the law, they should be prosecuted. I'm not sure why we need extra layers of social control being enforced.

That's pretty common in academia. You publish something new that is worse than the state-of-the-art. To maintain some semblence of meaning for your work, you you then say that the shortcomings will be addressed in future papers. Often these papers never surface because somewhere along the way it turns out that even though your approach was new, it is fundamentally worse. This kind of stuff happens all the time in research and it only makes it to the surface thanks to this twisted publish or perish world academics now live in.
> It states that "every individual has a property right in their own likeness and voice," and people can only use someone's "digital depiction or digital voice replica" in a "manner affecting interstate or foreign commerce" if the individual agrees (in writing) to said use.

Is there anything that isn't "interstate commerce"?

Remember, while the court was clutching their pearls over Roe v Wade and other cases not too long ago, they allowed Wickard v Filburn to stand, in which it was decided that someone growing food on their own land to feed to their own animals was "interstate commerce".

My understanding is that it's important for everything to be interstate commerce because the federal government can regulate interstate commerce, and so if we define interstate commerce to include everything, then the federal government can regulate everything.

I wonder how well it would do with html page layout. It is nice to see advancements in geometric reasoning!

To give you a basis for comparison, I've found that (paid) ChatGPT even quite recently was not able to reason about simple html and css geometric constructs, such as what div is inside what container: with just two divs or containers on the page, it still applied styling to the wrong one and I had to move the line myself to the one it meant to style, even after I described to ChatGPT what the page currently looked like.

I just tried it again, it did succeed with this prompt:

"Create an HTML page that you divide in half vertically, you will set the background of divs to different colors. After dividing the page in half vertically, on the left half of the page put three different divs each taking up a third of the vertical space, color them red, orange, yellow. On the right half of the page create two different divs each taking half of the vertical space, color them green, blue. Within each div put a paragraph in black letters with the color and location of the div it is located in, such as "Left hand side, top div. This background is red." and so on for top, middle, and bottom on the left and top and bottom on the right, with the colors red, orange, yellow, green and blue respectively as their backgrounds. Reply with the complete html and css style page in single html file that I can copy and paste into a single file, when loaded it should show the layout I have described." When I try this right now I get a successsful page.

Here is the code it generated: https://paste.sh/drpp3Kci#FoQHQT6YtMknnI-y2N7beqAd which you can see created this https://ibb.co/NFwnvWL

It previously failed at similarly layout questions.

If ChatGPT had this "Olympiad-level" geometric reasoning it would be amazing for producing html pages that include complex layout. It currently doesn't always succeed at this.

Layout is the area that I've found ChatGPT is weakest in for generating code, which I chalk up to the fact that it doesn't have a vision subsystem so it can't really picture about what it's doing.

If that's the case, then alternative app stores will likely be a no-go for anything other than free apps.

That's from the point of view of why bother having your app in an alternative store (that will likely charge money) when you're already forced to pay Apple ~30%?

Then again, there are probably categories of app (adult/xxx?) that Apple don't want on their app store, but would be happy to receive money for anyway.

Why would Kagi pay someone to promote them on HN when there's already dozens of praise everyday here?

Even as a happy customer, I can see how suspect this praise can be, but remember that HN is exactly who Kagi was created for.
And I don't remember having spend $10 a month on something that had that much impact on my daily life.
It's _just_ a search engine, but I do about 50 search a day, and having great results each time while the other one is giving me more and more garbage results is huge.
So I completely understand why people satisfied with Kagi can be noisy about how great they think it is.

Same. I'm shocked that the NYT didn't use Flattr on their articles for this.

To access the full version of the NYT currently costs $0.50 a week so it would have been possible the NYT could charge $0.50 per article, or $5 for the year (one time no subscription) through Flattr or something along those lines.

I could definitely see this working at scale.

An infinite list has a length, it just happens to be (countable) infinite.

Of course, as JS doesn't do (guaranteed) tail call optimisation, even finite lists will have "no length" ;)

(and first rewriting `length` to be tail recursive (or using a loop with mutation):

function length(l) {
function go(l, acc) {
if (l == null) {
return acc;
} else {
return go(l.rest, acc + 1);
}
}
return go(l, 0);
}
I don't disagree..

250k is conservative for employee cost. A staff engineer at Google can reach 1 MM total comp. And add in all the overhead a company has (real estate, free food, perks, taxes, etc)

Weirdly seems a decent idea.

All kinds of drug-taking comes with its rituals, and the 'experience' of having a cocktail served with glacier ice from Greenland no doubt evokes a sense of wonder and excitement while taking a drink. At least its something 'real' rather than processed slop.

At the same time, you're making use of empty cargo ships, keeping people up in Greenland employed, and creating a bit of media buzz about the state of glaciers. I don't think there's a negative side to be had here?

We should be encouraging the rich - as much as possible - to be splashing their cash on luxuries like this. It keeps the wealth flowing, industries of passion moving, and people like in the article here able to do something interesting with their lives.
We can attempt to deduce the point from the comment. The only assertive statement that the comment it replied to was "close to" the stupidest, but not the stupidest.

One possible evidence for that sort of statement is presenting the actual comment that is the stupidest, but such evidence was not presented explicitly.

However, we can assume that the author intends the justification to be self-apparent; with this assumption, the best explanation is that their comment itself is the evidence they wish to present, ergo the actual stupidest comment.

I just upgraded from a Pixel 3 to a Pixel 8, and while I've read that it's a slow phone, I don't see any performance issue.

I also bought a 120€ tablet with a Helio G99 CPU and it's so much faster than my old Galaxy Tab S3 and Lenovo Tab4 8 Plus.

To me it feels like we have reached the point where these devices are fast enough like it was when laptops matured, where performance was no longer an issue and upgrades were made when the device no longer worked or Microsoft made it obsolete due to Windows 11 not being allowed to run on it.
A single interviewer is likely to be strongly biased. But the bias of a pool of thousands of people is much smaller - the individual biases partially cancel out.

In addition, the process adds some steps to keep a single person's irrational biases from propagating: formal rubrics, rating broken down into components each of which requires written justification, and the group of people making the decision to hire or not hire are explicitly ones who never see or hear the candidate and are deciding based on interviewers' written reports.
This is the benefit of HTML.

The reader can alter its format e.g. change font and the result still works. (agreed that it needs to be decent HTML - but plain HTML works it is some of the complexities that make this not work and I consider that a bad HTML page)

PDF is fixed format and you can't increase font size to make it more readable.

However for some of those use cases then not being able to alter PDFs is a benefit - e.g. invoices and bank statements but then you probably need more than a plain pdf which can be edited (e.g. change a 1 to a 9) but a pdf with some integrity checks.

Since we have to assume that they assessed it, I suspect that they concluded the math would not work out.

A possible explanation: News websites are cross financing their content. You spending a dollar on the paper, that only interests you in parts, is part of a model that makes it work (and probably also part of a model, where papers still feel wiggle room to editorialize for stuff they think is important, even though it might not click)
