I don't know what you mean about it not being "an accident", but IMO the problem is when one casts off a whole bunch of prescriptive assumptions/memes/paradigms, one can quite easily end up replacing them with different, more virulent ones. The new ones seem quite liberating and exciting, since they have fresh predictive power. But in actuality you're just going down into a different Matrix that you haven't yet hit the limits of, but is likely to be much smaller than longstanding ones that have gone through the wringer of many corners of society. And in this case it was an extremely tiny universe where these people were being recruited to work as simple spammers^Wgrowth hackers. This critique probably applies to any person/community marketing themselves using the language of liberation only to supply a new dogma for the implementation, rather than being centered around continual questioning and self-reflection. (Although I'd still expect failure modes of the latter going sideways as well!)
Psilocybin may have evolved as a defense mechanism. Controlling host behavior as a defense.

Well, it has been a long time (like, 40 years), but I’m pretty sure I remember it being strongly fluorescent. It might have been impurities, though.
I think it also comes off as anecdotal with no good causal relationship. I have no doubt the parent put in a lot of hard work, sacrificed much, and struggled. But I'm not convinced the strategy is repeatable. A saying I like is "the harder I work, the luckier I get." Because hard work gives you the ability to take advantage of opportunities. But at the end of the day there is a combination of hard work and luck. Maybe this is just how the world is, but we're humans so we have the power to shape it, and I think we should make hard work less reliant upon luck. But I think one of the first steps to doing that is recognizing how stochastic the system (both what we can control and what we can't) is. I'm glad this worked out for the parent and I sincerely do not want this comment to undermine their work. But I think we're often too quick to assume a repeatable process and not selection bias.
What if you got 30% discount? 2 minutes of work. If that didn't work Apple wouldn't spend so much effort fighting this.
> It's maybe also that US population tends to underestimate how other people are smart (US-centrism really does exist).

They do.

> Chinese people are very smart, and there is technically more of them, so I am not surprised that they are releasing amazing open models.

They also have an educational system that wastes less talent and have fewer - if any - roadblocks to the will of the party bosses. In a war a dictatorship can move in ways that a democracy is ill equipped to follow simply because there is no dissent. That's why it took half the world to take on three relatively little countries in WWII.

> China has no problems to push their own models for free, and this is a real strategic advantage.

It is, but I for one wouldn't use them.

> These models are aligned with Chinese values, but well, American models are aligned with American beliefs and values as well, right ?

Yes, but I'm far less concerned with the present day models than I am with the advent of AGI which is what OpenAI and various international competitors are aiming for and if one shows it can be done before you can blink this crap will be all over the world. After that point all bets are off.

Thinking about your comment further (and having read TFA and some of the comments) inline usage does seem to make more sense as it's only a few more characters. In that way it's transparent. Decreasing indirection (assuming that the operators always function simply and plainly.

I've been working on this in my spare time for a little over a year now. It's far from done, but I think it'd definitely benefit from the wisdom of the crowd. Stay cool HN.
I actually did just that recently, minus the visuals. A lightly grouped collection of links to things I have found interesting for one reason or another, or that others might. Not much context given, just a humanly-curated collection of links.

I created this website partly inspired by other personal blogs I've seen mentioned here on HN, and decided that I wanted one for myself. This year, I finally got it to a state I'm happy with. The most interesting was learning how to self host everything, as an excuse to have a platform to publish stuff.

I really doubt it streams over bluetooth - I would guess some kind of wifi direct but I’m not aware of anything apple has said about this.

Streaming could be a lot of things - the Meta Quest has a steam link app to stream Steam VR apps to it, Apple TV/phone/ipad also have steam link and I use it a lot of my Apple TV to play games.
Thanks, nice one too!

I can't find anywhere where the article talks about Latin as dominant. It talks about the latin-using Catholic Church as having been the dominant church. The point being that with reformation came translated bibles, but Norway didn't get its own.

For the most part your comment is largely tangential to the article, where the rough sketch of older Norwegian history just sets the scene for why there was a growing conflict between spoken Norwegian and the imposed Danish written language, and the written language used by the church and the state were a large part of that - hence e.g
the still extant but increasingly meaningless term "Riksmål" ("state/national language") used for conservative Bokmål.
I spend far less time charging my car than I used to at the gas station. Especially in the winter the gas station sucked, now I just plug in at work which takes 5 seconds.

How about paying for it with the massive profit they make selling the devices?

As far as I can tell, the only reason Apple’s doing the whole rent-seeking App Store business is “because they can.” Upside is all that money, downside is the developers kinda hate you.
I'm mostly surprised we have different rules for id's in html5 and css.

Oh I don't disagree at all!

It's a writing error on my end (clear since I qualify the percentage afterwards), so I think focusing on it distracts from the point (which is why I say it's pedantic).

I understand the pet peeve though (-:
Good candidates for contributing factors for the obesity epidemic.

There seems to have been a spark that set off the obesity conflagration sometime around 1978-1981. The kindling that nurtures this spark had been accumulating since the early 20th century… The chemicals you mention were certainly contributory.

It seems that in general, the US lags behind in retail technology.

In Australia, close to all supermarkets are majority if not entirely self checkout. Even a lot of retail brands like hardware stores and clothing stores are self checkout.

The ones like Uniqlo where you just drop the items in and it instantly scans them all are incredibly nice to use.
It is a self perpetuating cycle. If you are lucky to land a good first job that leads to a good second job which leads to a good third job, so on so forth.

Many of the people applying for 100s of jobs are either unqualified or completely green. Especially now more than ever the bottom 10-15% of the workforce has been trimmed in various layoffs so if you are completely green you are competing with people who have industry experience.
I could name half a dozen breweries that have had exploding can issues in the past few years. My wife used to work for one of them in NYC.

> Otherwise they would be rough, estery, butter bombs from not giving the yeast time to clean themselves up

Yeah, that sounds like a lot of trash hasizes people are cranking out these days! Except for "butter bombs", you have to work pretty hard to produce diacetyl. I've done some homebrew club experiments and you can do almost everything wrong and not get that textbook buttery flavor.

> If the hazy your drinking has yeast sediment in the bottom of the glass/can it was done wrong.

Yeah, I agree it's just not uncommon in my experience.
Some yeast produce more msg than others? The way it accumulates for over time seems quite different than the gp that indicated fast onset. That sounds more like they have an active allergy. Perhaps to sulphites?
The items are also all high enough margin to cover the extra tag cost. Isn’t going to work for supermarkets.
This capability is actually built deeply into the chip payment specification used by most credit and debit cards, but it's fallen out of fashion in favor for online-first processing:

The original motivation for offline capabilities was that phone calls were expensive in Europe (early terminals worked via dialup modems, which were also slow to connect), and phone lines were not ubiquitous in all stores.

Now that that's been solved, just keeping everything online-only is much less of a headache for the card issuer, but it does suffer from greatly reduced availability in case of outages such as the one you mention: No overdrawn accounts, lost/stolen cards can instantly be blocked, PIN verification becomes much easier etc.

That said, merchants are still free to accept any card offline – they just bear the full risk of that card being overdrawn or lost/stolen. And in case of a publicly visible outage, you can absolutely expect fraudsters to start showing up at the checkout in large numbers and with full shopping cards bearing lost and stolen credit cards.

I really hope we'll see it make a return, if not for credit and debit cards then for the various upcoming CDBC projects. Not being able to purchase anything in case of a power outage or cyberattack is a huge risk to society and can even be actually dangerous in some cases (imagine e.g. a small unattended card-only gas station – not that uncommon in the US!)
Why does YouTube allow people to access it in Albania? Surely if a country doesn't let you make money from your service you'd withdraw from it, or possibly require Albanians to pay for YouTube premium to access it.
Honestly this feels a lot like pumping your own petrol, having someone operate the elevator for you, or going in to a physical bank. Eventually no one will care and it frees up people to do more useful jobs.
> It's like saying our soldiers in Iraq shouldn't have had modern rifles because the invasion of Iraq was wrong.

Is that argument wrong? Over the past few decades US military adventurism has been, on the whole, harmful to both the US and the rest of the world. Having "expanded military capabilities" seems to have done the US more harm than good, even ignoring the opportunity costs of spending on those military capabilities rather than more productive things.
Alignment to _what_? Humans aren't aligned without AI, what exactly will AI be aligned to?
> ... as it didn't kill off the fashion industry.

Clothes are inherently consumable goods. If you use them, they will wear out. If you do not use them, they still age over time. You cannot "copy" a piece of clothing without a truly astonishing amount of effort. Both the processes, and the materials, may be difficult or impossible to imitate without a very large investment of effort.

Compare this to digital art: You can copy it literally for free. Before AI, at least you had to copy it mostly verbatim (modulo some relatively boring transforms, like up/down-scaling, etc.). That limited artist's incomes, but not their future works. But in a post-AI world, you can suck in an artist's life's work, and generate an unlimited number of copycats. Right now, the quality of those might be insufficient to be true replacements, but it's not hard to imagine we'll be in a world not so far off when it will be sufficient, and then artists will be truly screwed.

I’m unashamedly getting one pretty much for this reason. I’m bored of driving the same amorphous blob-shaped cars for the past couple of decades (including my blob shaped model Y). It will be fun to drive something that tries to push the envelope for once.
All the subs I followed are a shadow of their former selves.. there's still some half-assed content posted, but it's not worth bothering to try and keep up any more

I was on a bunch of small niche subs with 10k users or fewer each

Space Solar is really coming from a DARPA initiative to build microwave beams from space as a weapon system to intercept missiles and other targets. The idea of selling solar power from space is another contrived commercial dual-use application to justify the technology development. A similar history was followed for Starlink which is not commercially viable without its basis in furthering SDI technology.

"Mean life" is essentially MTBF, the average time during testing until the system malfunctions, at which point the system is serviced and testing continues. The "reliable life" is the life with servicing, so it is longer.
What I gather is this was a rate limiting issue. Rate limiting is a standard pattern for API platforms but I wonder how many consumer facing services implement it.

what am I dismissing? I think these AI companies are stealing these works. Nerds here are equivocating the creation of art with what LLM output, simply out of their own inexperience making art. It's terrible and I hate it.
You ever shopped at kroger? Their produce selection is so bad and/or rotten that I don't even want to buy produce when I shop there. They don't even care and I think use it to drive buying more predictable goods (like canned). Their subsidiary Pick N Save in the midwest was similar, but not near as bad as Kroger in the south.

We buy produce from the cheaper Aldi instead, or worst case, the overpriced Publix (if Aldi doesn't have it).
Sorry, you are incorrect.

Alignment with whose values? Altmans? Ilya's? Humanity's? The USA? Some unspecified ideal? I have a really hard time passing the responsibility for such massive impact decisions to a bunch of talented technicians who have already demonstrated a poor command of ethics. The more likely outcome is that it will end up being 'alignment with whoever has the money', and that's a recipe for some bad stuff in our future.
For many others instead it's convenient, so I hope they will keep being one of the possibilities
For context, my elderly mother grew up in a coastal village that was inaccessible to the rest of the country except by boat! (A tunnel has long since been dynamited through the mountain and the village is now well connected with the rest of the country)

There's an entire coastal dialect that runs up and down parts of the country where those people's dialect is closer to each other's than it is to their neighbors just a few miles inland.

Sure you can. There's a whole industry making knockoffs.
So when google shows me the same add 1,000 times from China they're not stalking me on every video I watch? Or they are? It seems like they are or why would they create so many fake low quality videos. You cannot even end up blocking them all.
That's like asking "programs that execute within a predictable scope for what?"

For whatever they're being written for. Alignment's goal is to have models to do what they're being trained to do and not other random things. It won't be uniform; for example, determining "what does inappropriate mean" will vary between countries.

In terms of the theoretical guarantees, a PD controller is (nearly) always stable and pretty easy to critically damp. However, if the set point is moving with a nonzero velocity or there is some load, then the PD controller will not converge. A PI and a PID controller can converge even if the target is moving.

Practically speaking, I would recommend encoding as much model information as possible before pulling out the I term: for instance, if you know the velocity of your tracked object and assume an intertidal model, you can just include some of that data in your feed forward rather than the controller, which simplifies things greatly.
People like you are what cause an uptick in the economy. Thanks a lot for sharing.
The problem with this conversation is that its being had by people that make the top level comment here stating that clothing is not copyrightable. It is. Clothing design is copyrightable. This was a huge recent case, Star Athletica. They know nothing about copyright law and they just build intuitions from the world around them, but the intuitions are completely nonsense because they are made in ignorance of the actual law and what the law does and why the law does it. I find it exhausting.
SoundCloud only became profitable recently by laying off about 30% of the staff. They never figured out how to make it work.

I seriously doubt anyone is going to buy it, even less for $1B which is the number that has been thrown around.

Of course the investors that put some $250M into it since 2017 or so want their ROI badly but who in their right mind would buy it?

Google, Meta, Spotify, etc could buy it without much effort but what would they get in return?
My understanding is we have exhaustively enumerated the unary binary32 functions and proved the correctness of correct-rounding for them. For binary64, exhaustive enumeration is not a viable strategy, but we generally have a decent idea of what cases end up being hard-to-round, and in a few cases, we may have mechanical proofs of correctness.

There was a paper last year on binary64 pow (https://inria.hal.science/hal-04159652/document) which suggests that they have a correctly-rounded pow implementation, but I don't have enough technical knowledge to assess the validity of the claim.
Integral windup is the term for this issue, there's a few ways to deal with the windup if you need to keep the integral component (e.g. for tracking a moving set point, or to overcome a stable error).

Fair enough.

I still disagree with the form of your rhetoric as I do see cartel as a more accurate description, but out of respect for the internal consistency of your argument, I’ll drop it. People can see the case you made and make up their own minds. :)
Maybe I missed it

But how will they actually know how much money developers are making via external web purchasing? Audits?

In my opinion working with both Apple and Google's billing libraries is pretty painful. Many developers use third parties to make it easier like Qonversion or RevenueCat. These all have to go through Apple and Google respectively

If you can just have a web page to do it, that seems easier actually. You can just save if the user is paid or not directly in your backend after they make a purchase
It's even more complicated. I grew up north east of Oslo, but speak close to western Oslo dialect with some now pretty-conservative Bokmål use (to the point where your rendition of Oslo-dialect is entirely different to how I speak - e.g. I prominently pronounce the "l" in "skal" and my pronunciation of "kirken" has nothing resembling any "sh-" sound), partly due to my dad, partly because I grew up reading a lot of old books.

At school we had an exchange student from Germany one year who quickly learnt to speak the local dialect, not too far from your rendition of Oslo dialect, but more -a endings, e.g. "kirka" rather than "kirken", but she struggled to understand me, because of those differences.

Those dialects are a 15 minute train ride apart.

People who grow up in Norway will understand multiple of these variants without necessarily being entirely aware of how different they can seem to foreigners, exacerbated by the fact we tone down the differences a lot in writing - in particular spoken Norwegian merges a lot of words. E.g. you can find people saying "skarru bli med?" ("are you coming?") while writing "skal du bli med?". But even those speaking forms of Norwegian close to conservative Bokmål like me will have pauses that are surprisingly short between some words - e.g. I have a gap between "bli" and "med" in my example sentence, but it's short enough that it's not a given it's clear for non-native speakers that I'm saying two words.

And despite the destigmatisation of dialect use in recent decades, a lot of the spoken Norwegian dialects that today deviate from both Nynorsk and Bokmål are rarely written down except in dialogue in novels, and even then it's politics - it's more common for more radical Norwegian writers to write dialogue in dialects (ironically, several of the most radical older Norwegian writers promoted Riksmål / conservative Bokmål - e.g. Arnulf Øverland was both a member of the communist Mot Dag - "Towards Dawn - and a president of the Riksmåls-association), making it even harder for foreign learners to get exposure to them during study.

To your issue of understanding people from Eastern Norway, in a reversal I still recall an embarrassing moment on holiday in Denmark as a child. I mostly understood spoken Danish (the article is polite and say they sound "blurred", while the old common joke is that Danish sounds like Norwegian spoken with a potato in your mouth), but at one point some kid was trying to talk to me at the beach, and I apologised to him, telling him I didn't understand his Danish very well.

That afternoon I learned my mum had talked to his parents, and the family was Norwegian, from Bergen, and most certainly not speaking Danish. I wouldn't mistake those two today, but he spoke differently enough to me that as a child guessing he spoke Danish was not a big leap.
This is the only thing that ever happens in my brain when I hear Spirit airlines now.
