> We’re at the end of a grand experiment of “you can take VC money and deliver a tech with new values, one that people want.”

This is an extreme position. More likely, we are seeing repricing occur. There are still worthy, venture backable ideas. Probably less of them than in the past.
Or wait a bit.
“you can take VC money and deliver a tech with new values, one that people want.”

Well you can... just that there's no guarantee that the 'people who want' will also want to pay enough, on average, for it to be sustainable.
Biological systems play a huge role in the climate too so its not purely physical simulation.
The British museum (and other museums) preserve what would have otherwise been destroyed had it remained wherever they took it from. The nations they recovered artifacts from probably don't even exist anymore. The artifacts only survive because the museum discovered them.
Hope the price was not hanging you up. I don’t know what the price is and it’s certainly variable depending on the content length and publication. Maybe for a long Journal/NYT expose it’s a $1…
The OP is about physical museum heists. Any actuallys belong to those who are trying to bring the %current_event%-related snark into the discussion in the first place, especially while ignoring a pretty important distinction which hurts those discussions and tends to turn them into emotional shamefests with little substance.
what's non-STEM science? the incentives of publishing and funding systems are similar across most fields (publish papers in the cool journals, get as many citations as possible, leverage that for more funding), I would be astonished if there were fields substantially exempt from bad science.

I feel like my position is fair for any field publishing papers with falsifiable claims based on evidence?
> "If I see a Java program whose RSS is doing nothing but "up and to the right" until the VM runs out of memory and dies a sweet sweet page thrashing death, I'm going to describe that as a "memory leak"."

By this definition, if a program reads in a file and you point it to a small file then the program does not have a memory leak, but if you point it to a large enough file, then the program does have a memory leak. Whether or not a program has a memory leak doesn't depend on the code of the program, but how you use it. But then on a bigger computer, the program doesn't have a memory leak anymore.

That seems a less useful definition than the parent poster's / the common definition.
Some possible reasons for why American fire trucks tend to be larger:

* more frequently sent to rural homes, where there might not be an available hydrant, so they need to transport all the water they're likely to need

* same for wildfires

* American homes more likely to be wood+drywall
10 Second Teleportation
I feel like I'm sort of like this but it's because I'm ADHD and if I happen to be doing the laundry it's probably because I walked by it for the last week, finally noticed it's inattention and wanted to do it RIGHT NOW before I forget about it for another week or until I need clothes.

I'm reading this article you posted because I wasn't sure of any of this terminology and I never have panic attacks or anything like that, though. I more or less just get startled and want a quick back and forth so I can get right back to it. Definitely could occasionally from off as snappy.

Dishes I also forget about unless I do them immediately. So same thing, when I finally walk by the sink and notice them I hyper focus and knock them out super quick like I'm in the zone.

This paragraph is confusing me, first PDA is totally bad at all of the bullet points but if PDA is not diagnosed with classic autism spectrum it's actually all positive social stuff? Sounds strange.

> Although PDA has its own traits that are separate from autism, people with PDA generally meet the diagnostic criteria by having significant difficulties in social interaction and communication.[1] Alternatively, they may instead be diagnosed with ODD.[1] Those who propose that PDA should be a separate diagnosis from classic autism spectrum disorders, observed that, compared to children with classic autism, those with PDA:

* are more sociable
* have better social skills and social understanding
* use apparently socially manipulative and shocking behaviour[3][4]
* are more interested in people than objects
* are more comfortable with pretend play, and
* are more imaginative
No. Is it any good?
Not sure they would bother suing. I don't think their TOS is fair but I would be concerned about having the API access cancelled.
At least in theory, the flattr model was "pay a fixed amount you can afford, it automatically gets divided among the sites you flattr".

That's a model that helps avoid subscription fatigue. Put $10 or $20 or $100 into a pool, and at the end of the month you know you'll spend exactly that much, no matter how many sites you flattr.

I would love to have seen that model succeed.
can't you just forget you ever saw the hardcoded credentials? that seems like the safest course of action to me.
Do you have any pictures of your design that you can share? It sounds cool.
The requirement is because if you don't mandate a minimum amount of parking, developers won't create it. Then the neighbors of your fancy new building can no longer find parking near their own home because the new building tenants take it. So they justifiably get angry and start voting in politicians that will enforce minimum capacity for new development.
The world is flat. India has ~1.5 billion people and is growing. We need enough precision machine tooling and production capacity for self defense. But world competition is inevitable, and arguably better for the US economy. Our value proposition needs to be something greater than that of other countries. And that's where the economy and employment will thrive and thus support other service sectors.
One space is sufficient in bash, if memory serves right.

And secondly, on macOS with the default config for zsh no amount of spaces will help, I think. You have to first configure zsh to ignore from history when starting with space. And after that I think one space will be enough.
AlphaFold Found Possible Psychedelics
Using 3.5 seems like it would have been okay (technically but not legally given OpenAI ToS), but Mixtral is already somewhere around that level, so it's not achieving a goal of improving towards GPT-4 level responses without having to write those yourself, which seems to have been the goal OP wanted to get to.

I've heard that training e.g. Mixtral on Mixtral's own outputs is a really bad idea, don't know full details.
I assumed Apple will be running these apps in a container that it thinks is an iPhone, and then project it onto a virtual screen in augmented space. I guess maybe resolution maybe an issue — so maybe it will be the web version or a AppleTV container that allows 4k etc (phones downsample maybe?)
I am sorry what ethics? Openai is built on stolen content and your worry is people using openai’s output is the unethical issue? Whoa.
i guess we think of different things when we read "barren nuclear wasteland".
The alternative to ads isn't cryptominers. The alternative is adblockers, which also block cryptominers and other unwanted malware.
That shouldn't prevent apple from requiring a fair 30% cut to allow access to their websites
By why not let Vision Pro users install the iPad versions of their apps? They're explicitly opting out of that!
There certainly is a lot of value in the CUDA ecosystem, today. The problem is that when all the big companies are buying up hundreds of thousands of GPUs, that doesn't leave much for anyone else.

Sane business people will look to decentralize their compute over time and not be reliant on a single provider. AMD will be able to take advantage of that and they've already stated that is their focus going forward.

ROCm/HIP are getting incrementally better, MI300x have 192GB and benchmarks are looking good, the only problem is that nobody has access to the higher end hardware from AMD today. That's why I'll have MI300x, for rent, soon.
Reflecting on Tutorial Culture
This was my experience as well. We thought it was a nice managed way to move pg to pg with minimal setup but we ran into so many issues we just did logical replication with bespoke fixes for things it didn't handle well.
Then they cut off the API Process and I just make a new account.
Who cares?
I doubt they would sue, because the Risk of Loosing would give a precedent. It's much easier and cheaper to scare people away from doing this and writing mean letters.
Those ToS would also probably be unenforceable in many countries outside the US beyond terminating an account
That's a false dichotomy: cryptominers are not the only alternative to ads.
I would guess one would reach for Apple TV+ or Apple Music instead, but then again I really don't like those experiences on any of the native apps -- so I wouldn't hold my breath.
So you declare an entire field as BS and your basis of expertise is a high school class you took and a (probably underpaid and overworked) teacher who couldn’t satisfactorily answer your questions?

Any feedback brought up in a community review is on official record. I have witnessed safety concerns being brought up in community review multiple times that caused changes to the building plan. In one situation it was a very serious concern about blocking fire truck access to an elementary school.
A.I training models...
I would guess most Apple Vision Pro users are using Apple Music anyways? Though I’m not even sure how relevant audio apps are to a VR headset? I guess they do music videos, but hardly seems like core application to headset.
Indeed, all those animations are pre-rendered videos embedded in the page, which are then randomly selected. I find shadertoy [1] really impressive, given that those animations are calculated/rendered in real-time.

A while ago after being impressed by shadertoy I've built a website (now offline) with a shader as a background using Tree.js [2]. The website was showing caustics - constantly-changing ridges of light produced on the bottom of the pool/lake/sea when light passes through the waves (similar to [3]). People visiting it were always assuming those are pre-rendered videos and were genuinely surprised that their N-years old phone is capable of running that shader in real-time flawlessly.

People do talk about the fiduciary duty to maximize shareholder value when speaking generally. They are wrong.

There are only two fiduciary duties in this context: the duty of loyalty and the duty of care. A director of a corporation owes no fiduciary duty to maximize shareholder value.

I apologize completely, because I missed the part where the GP said that his daughter obtained a prescription from her physician, and I am sorry for comparing my inept supplement abuse to hers. Also it is a fluke that I informed my physicians at every step of my usage, and they failed to predict or diagnose the resultant kidney stone. Every other US physician is far more attentive and responsible and would've noticed straight away and warned me about this off-label usage.
I'm sure Google is a little terrified of the Vision Pro actually working out, so they'll do what they can to make it less enticing. Just like they did with Windows Phone. [1]

So this is a chat-bot designed to help you self diagnose 'poor dating behavior'... my first question is... what's the source training data look like?

My second question is how is this a good idea?

My biggest worry about something like this is escalation. How much will AI weave into dating... and will I be actually dating someone, or a 'sanitized version of themselves long enough to trick me into investing energy/time in them'... I presume this AI isn't a 'life-long buddy'.

I worry about cultural shifting done though apps like these... this does not make the world better, I don't think...

This looks like it was written with a particular view/bias in place... and wouldn't be usable by most of the people this would hypothetically benefit...

tl;dr: wft!
There is no medicine here.

Some problems don't have a solution.

Some aren't even amenable to compromise.

Sometimes compromise is even worse.

It sucks but it's the truth.
Moving up layers works in software because the lower layers work automatically. But when using my brain, my subconscious can only do very simple things for me and it's very difficult to teach it anything new. So I can move up a layer when planning, but when I'm in the middle of executing a task the only thing that can possibly be on my mind is that task.
I think the main thing would be the lack of 3D film support, if Apple can manage to make people actually care about those again.

ToS rules are contractual, so they apply if your use of their services even when copyright doesn't.

Conversely, if you don't use their services, as the output of AI models is (reportedly) non-copyrightable, I'd assume you're free to train on it so long as you don't actually make the requests yourself?

But I'm not a lawyer, and I'd ask one first before doing anything that risks expensive mistakes.
Ask HN: What are you doing with GPTs in actual production level applications?
So far I've been using chat gpt as a programming copilot.

When I've used "copilot" style tools in real world applications (like Snowflake, New Relic, etc.) I've found them to be pretty bad. They're clearly missing any business domain knowledge (not surprising) and give pretty useless results.

I've used what appears to be an AI style chat in Chipotle app and its pretty nice. I've had a few times now with online orders where its missing something, and the chat helps me sort it out fast (just gives me coupons for free stuff).

Just curious, are you using gpt type tools in your production applications? Have they been useful or is it just a checkbox to complete for marketing?
Hope the picture is illustrative only.
> A ton of Health related websites in US refuse to work in Europe, because they are NOT willing to let you visit without sensitive data being grabbed with cookies.

That is the less charitable interpretation. In reality a lot of sites that cater primarily to a US audience don't have the willingness or development time to try and comply with European regulations. Barring European visitors neatly solves that.
That will work as a stop-gap, sure, but having the app projected in 2D inside a VR headset kinda defeats the point. Vision Pro will only be successful if its apps can be immersive.
Just click on it
Creatine is produced endogenously and is believed to be a critical component of energy metabolism and expenditure, particularly in muscle tissue (including in the heart and skeletal muscle that keeps us alive).

As a supplement, it is extremely well researched (probably the most researched exercise supplement) and has been thoroughly demonstrated to have moderate enhancements to digestion, metabolism, and physical performance in all kinds of populations. It is also quite safe. Taking too much for too long can cause stomach discomfort, muscle cramps, dehydration, and in rare cases kidney damage.

The body produces about 1g per day naturally and humans who eat meat tend to get another gram or so through diet. Supplementing ~3g per day has been demonstrated to be extremely safe pretty much indefinitely (except possibly in people with liver or kidney disease, possibly other organ dysfunction).

Just like caffeine (and all manner of substances) if you have lots of pure powder and no clue about safe dosage, it can get dangerous very quickly.
Someone here linked an open ticket for this issue. In the comments at least one person made basically the same argument that holding on to a potentially large % of memory is a surprising sharp edge, meanwhile shrinking the Vec and perhaps allocating is unsurprising behavior. Requiring many additional defensive shrink_to_fit calls to avoid this problem seems like the wrong tradeoff but I don't write enough Rust to have a strong opinion.
Ethically you might not respect it, but practically, you might not want to be the one testing their TOS in court — or maybe you do. In either case, it’s worth caring about at least a little.

Someone with gumption might just go ahead and use GPT to train a model and then open it up as a paid competitor. Poking the bear is certainly an interesting way to spend a year for the adventurous.
Careful with those absolutes.
How does this calculation work?

Take simple chemical pollution, for example with lead - as far as I can tell, it stays around forever and we,ve poisoned vast landscapes with it during mining coal copper for example.

Or take simple industrial waste , say wind turbine blades, they go to landfill, sure they aren’t hurting anyone but there are a lot of them- does it count?
was going to say, it's apparently only theft if it's from a museum or collection, and not say, WWII plunder, or the whole music industry.

Does not selling to the local school while riding an electric scooter make it alright?
Considering that the main purpose of YouTube seems to be forcing me to see as many ads as physically possible, I would say good riddance. I will keep using the website, where I have some degree of control over what is being done and what I end up seeing.

I don’t care about Netflix or Spotify, so meh.
For sure. They are both a shit-ton of work, but so far it has been well-worth it. Can think of any other way I'd rather spend my time. Just wish I knew more folks going through the same thing.
Risks of this virus getting out aside, it would be invaluable to study and understand how a 100% lethal variant works. Even just knowing there exists a 100% lethal variant let's us be prepared in case one shows up from random mutations.
Doesn't sound so different to bot armies which have been messing with upvote counters on social media sites for 2 decades.

I'm sure we'll come up with solutions like we did before. Worst case, "present birth certificate and touch heartbeat detector to log in"
They will, but app makers have the ability to opt-out of that.
The closest we have are emissions reductions on power generation and other highly polluting facilities. Carbon capture of CO2 from the atmosphere is not being used successfully, anywhere. There are plenty of feel good articles about trials and test sites and experimental facilities, none of which are within multiple orders of magnitude of being capable of scaled out to the amounts needed. They all require such vast amounts of electricity that it would be better using that electricity to not emit the carbon in the first place. There are no technologies on the horizon that could even put a dent in our current yearly emissions, let alone clean up past excess. Yet it is used time and time again to sell carbon neutral plans and policies to the public, which will never reach their targets.
Too hard, this is easy
self-hosting as a term existed before VPS's did and it generally meant putting hardware in your house and running it off of that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-hosting_(web_services)

> The practice of self-hosting web services became more feasible with the development of cloud computing and virtualization technologies, which enabled users to run their own servers on remote hardware or virtual machines.

If you buy their definition, it seems inline with the idea that self hosting is more about the software than the hardware these days.
Likely because the Vision SDK is going to be buggy in the beginning and they don't want to deal with the crash reports, support tickets etc. As well as all of their telemetry and product analytics data being messed up with people using their products in weird ways.

If I was any of those companies I wouldn't bother either.

I’ve had a Quest 2 since the covid shut-in era, and I now only ever use it to watch the Netflix and Prime Video apps — both of which are basic and haven’t been updated for years. Which is weird, b/c right now, the home theater experience is one of the only things that VR indisputably (for the most part) does better than non-VR platforms. Right now the main flaw is that these basic apps stream at a low resolution (480p in Netflix’s case)

It makes no sense why Netflix/Amazon would neglect apps for a 20m userbase. The most rational explanation is that the VR userbase still has a very low active/attach rate. Maybe Netflix/Amazon aren’t excited to help Meta, but it’s not like they’re making their own VR headsets yet.
I love that where the rubber meets the road it doesn’t matter if you’re a government organisation or a web agency, it’s still just plain old Postgres, python, sqlalchemy and dns with a low ttl.
I wonder what he means by "H100 equivalents" - are these GPUs built in-house or from competitors like AMD / Intel that give equivalent performance to Nvidia's H100s?
Obviously, he won’t be the one doing it if AGI is, the point is he didn’t do the work he.
probably previous results didn't have a chance to use 7.5M CPU/h..
The fact that men like 50% of women and are liked back 1% of the time seems to support world 2.
Ah, what a sad world we live in.

Looks like they train on "anonymized" conversations unless you opt out (privacy blurb if you scroll all the way down). That said, even using the thing in the first place is more cause for concern.

It's actually a pretty slick presentation if you set aside the fact that it's a dehumanizing product with a completely cringe world view.

Given the submitter, I'm hedging my bet in that it might actually be well-crafted satire. In which case, bravo.
I am entirely way way way too high for that

EDIT: it's maddening that I can't save some of these!
I expect a use case for Spotify on the Vision Pro to be multitasking — listening to music while browsing the web or using other apps, same as phones and computers
House passes PRESS Act to shield journalists from revealing sources
Full title edited for length:

House passes PRESS Act to shield journalists from revealing sources. What’s in the bill?

Window/tab title text, which varies slightly but has more context, so included:

House passes CA Rep. Kiley’s PRESS Act for reporter sources

This still must pass in the Senate and be signed by Biden to become law. The article is silent on the prospects of its passage in the Senate, which seems like an oversight to me. I asked OP on Twitter what she thinks about its chances and will update if I hear back.
Yes.[1]

And, after 10,000 hours of apprenticeship, you can make as much as $50,000 to $100,000 a year as a tool and die maker!
