Predicting the next token is how they are trained. But how they operate to achieve that goal is much, much more complicated than the principle of a Markov chain.

In theory, you are the byproduct of 'training' to survive and reproduce. Humans are very good at that task.

But their net capabilities developed to succeed at it extend far beyond the scope of the task alone.

Stuff can absolutely disappear. But stuff got impractically difficult to find in the physical media era too, and, much more importantly, we have vastly more access in the normal case to stuff now than we did then. The thought of going back to a time where I can watch whatever is in my zip-up DVD case or what's currently broadcasting on TV is almost suffocating --- that's how much better off we are now.

It would be more accurate to say that a Markov chain is an example of a method that would perform relatively well at the same training task as a LLM.

So too, might a human trying to predict the next tokens.

But a human and a Markov chain are not the same underlying process to achieve next token prediction, and neither is the same underlying process as a LLM.

The problem with emulating "good writing"
> which bizarrely uses the same tiny Material touch targets as on phones

I personally think iPad YouTube app's touch is not too bad;
but in general (not limited to YouTube), I think the UI design of web video players are all too fixated on the existing design.

For example, when not in fullscreen mode, I don't see why all the controls need to be confined to the video frame and disappear when not hovering. While this design choice has its benefits, it also presents significant drawbacks: it obscures the actual content when you're interacting with the controls (a problem that's particularly acute on smaller screens), and performing quick, repetitive actions becomes difficult because the controls aren't visible until you hover over them, among other issues. This approach to web video player UI has been a pet peeve of mine for some time.

Look, I don't agree with GP, but to measure 'owning' as 'locking yourself into a particular library' is dumb and uncharitable. IMO, when you consider people that only have the budget for one streaming service you see who is _actually_ locked into one particular library today.

Streaming didn't win this round because it saves us shelf space... it won because it's instant and the average internet goer didn't consider the downsides. Most people in my circle now are pretty bitter with the state of things.

IMHE (in my humble experience),

TL;DR: When you invest in shared respect & people know each other, it's fine & probably important! to get more thin lipped during a crisis in order to get to a solution. No need to be impolite though, just focused.

When you invest in relationships with your coworkers, in times of crisis it's fine to "cut to the chase" and focus on high priority tasks, and sometimes naturally someone with expertise takes the lead and the other team members can fall into "support roles" and help them get their work done.

With our team it is a kind of "enhanced focus tunnel" where the team helps someone to debug a system or find a solution, while sometimes suggesting changes of strategy, holes in a theory or overlooked avenues of exploration.

But at the same time the "leader" can follow his instincts and will generally be respected for his approach, even if he drops some suggestions, and also be left alone by others with other tasks until the crisis is averted or can be deprioritised.

If there's only ever crisis mode at work, that's not good, and will not lead to good outcomes in the long run.

Then it's important to give - to take - for oneself and others time to breathe, to relax, to brainstorm, to draw out the current situation, and to find strategies out of the permanent crisis mode.

Unless you like the permanent adrenaline, but I don't think good systems are created and maintained that way.

The motivation behind calling it dark is mainly because it is really dark matter (in the sense that you cannot see it) that does not interact with electromagnetic force like ordinary matter which allows us to see it. And people usually refer to this work as dark sector which doesn't refer to the sector that we don't know (although we don't know much about in reality) but to the sector that is different from our ordinary matter.

Ask HN: Looking for a Cofounder?
If you're working full time and on the side indie hacking, and also looking for someone to join you on the team to divide the load, then please continue to read. Otherwise, skip to Article 2 below and let me know what project are you working on.

----------Article 1----------

Worked with Voodoo, ZPlay, SHAREit, etc, and helped in testing prototypes with A/B testing with them that was developed by us (my brother and I) but put under their umbrella. Developed and tested around 50+ prototypes in a matter of approx 4 years. One of them even reached 10 million downloads on iOS and Android combined.
I am currently taking a break and looking to explore more of my skills in SaaS environment. I'm not new to the concept of Indie hacking. I came across people in indie hacking and it intrigued my interest to join someone on their journey and grow together with them, if I found something that clicks.

My previous tech stack:

Unity [9/10]
C# [8/10]
Blender [5/10]
Soft Skills:
Ability to manage tasks using Time Blocking [I use it in my personal life a lot as well]
Managed up to a team of 4 in total, including mine, from time allotments to work segregations.
Aware of the concepts used in for FB Ads creatives to get lower CPIs and high CTRs, along with analysing other KPIs like Day 1, D7, D28 retention, etc.
I'm aware of how front end and back ends work, I have some experience around DIY projects where I have used the MERN stack, and also in another project, after react kind of abandoned CRA, switched to NEXTJS with Typescript + Supabase (which is backend as a service and helps save some time).
I'm looking for a more nontechnical role, where I can pinpoint the pros and flaws and test different versions in the market with results backed by real people data.
---------Article 2----------
Before going out and building out of my own, I realized that it's better to own 50% of 500 rather than 100% of 100, in terms of time and as well as fiscal speaking.

I'm looking towards small-level projects that I can be a part of, doesn't matter if it is producing any revenue or not, as of yet. Even if you're not looking for anyone, I'm still interested to know what are you guys working on.
A simple format you could use:

Please just answer the first 2 points related to your project at least.

Name of your SaaS: [ project name]
What problem are you solving: [<100 words, if you can't easily explain your SaaS, you have a problem, niche down and find specificities/USP of your project/SaaS]
MVP: [Yes or No]
Status: [in dev or v1.0 published]
Are you looking for any co-founder/partner, technical or non-technical?
Proposed MRR by the end of this fiscal year.
Current MRR, if any.

> To ensure these systems are 100% secure, equipment in the Brazil data center was returned to the manufacturers.

It doesn't say all equipment, and that would have been very helpful. But if it's just two or three access devices sitting on the border, it's not so bad.

Also, the manufacturer likely just sold the hardware to a different customer, sounds like it was pretty new and unused anyway. Just flash the firmware and you're good.

Uhhh, like welcome to America? It’s literally the history of every industry in this country. No or understaffed regulatory body. Industry allowed to self report. Eventually people die and there is a public outrage. Eventually (hopefully) industry is regulated, often when the harm reaches children. Industry find something else that is questionable.

Ask HN: Tech Conferences for 2024
Happy Friday.

The pandemic has mostly left the mindset of the population and travel is almost back to pre-pandemic days, I want to looking at tech conferences that will be on in 2024 to visit, and maybe, to participate.

Since I am in a team leader role, I am interested in engineering leadership tech conferences.

So far I have come across LeadDev (https://leaddev.com/) which targets engineering leadership. But not much else.

Do you know of the conferences that might be worth considering?

Many thanks for your hints.

> we live in a golden age of access to video content

It's the very opposite of that!

Yes, mainstream and a few sigmas from mainstream is easier to access than ever (if you have all the subscriptions, that is).

The obscure stuff? Good luck today. Try to find someone with the DVD or VHS.

In the VHS days you could find video rental clubs with a vast library of niche movies (such as local productions that never got distributed widely). Today those are not available anywhere, unless they happen to be selling the DVD somewhere.

> Now, with our obsessive encyclopedic documentation, it's unlikely that future generations will forget our ways of life.

I’m not so sure. One, due to increasing reliance on bits for that documentation. But also two, because we already find it incredibly hard to truly imagine the ways of the world just a few generations back.
So that is what happens when a manufacturer forgets to stick that "never obsolete"-sticker on the case of the PC.
“Just go to our web app” is not solving the same problem as what Git is trying to solve (the latter sometimes badly, it might be added).
One of the few computers I regret getting rid of is my Amiga 500. What would I use it for? Not sure. But… Something.
Postgres is great but using pg_cron as your system to pull and clean data is a recipe for disaster in the long run. I've always regretted using complicated Postgres queries or functions instead of doing it in server. Sometimes I do it because I think "wow, I didn't know pg can do this. So cool, let's just use it!". Regret. Every time. They're too finicky, hard to test, and doesn't have the ecosystem like git and IDEs to make changes easily. And the next employee won't know about some random but crucial logic that lives inside Postgres instead of the code.

You're also relying on your Postgres instance's precious CPU/RAM/network to do logic work which can be unpredictable. Let's be honest, most managed cloud Postgres providers charge an arm and a leg for big Postgres instances already. Why use those expensive resources when you can get a cheap EC2 instance or a serverless function to do the same and have the ability to scale efficiently?

My general rule is, use Postgres to store as much of my data as possible, but never use Postgres to do anything other than be a data store.

This rule of mine is why I never fell in love with Supabase even though many developers have. Use Postgres as my permissions layer? As my API server? You have to be kidding. If you're building a quick throwaway prototype, maybe. (The rest of Supabase is really nice though).

Ever since I learned of sleep cycles, and how to measure my own, I've pretty much governed my life around them.

Each person has a cycle where they go between waking and resting state. The trick is to go to bed when you're headed into resting state. And if you wake up and can't go back to sleep, get up and do something for X number of minutes until you go back into resting state.

For me the cycle is about 45-50 minutes.

This also means that if you wake up naturally before your alarm that means you're in the waking state, so it doesn't matter how sleepy you might feel, just get up and get on with your day. Going back to sleep will waste 45*2 minutes at least.

Corporate veils are important for some types of activity, but when it comes to the loss of life, and choices made, executives who make 1.5m USD a year (as the Philips CEO does) should be held to a very high standard.

LLM are markov chains, a markov chain is a general concept and not just a text model technique. You must be thinking about the very simple markov chain models we had before where you just predicted the next word by looking up sentences with the same preceding words and picking a random of those words, that is also a markov chain just like LLM but a much simpler one, you are right LLMs aren't like that but they are still markov chains with the same kind of inputs and outputs as the old ones.
I don’t get that either. How can they draw what seems like a contract, then change it on a whim without further agreement? Apparently it’s legal, but I don’t think it should be.

No you weren't. In your ignorance you mistook a complicated question for a simple one and later proceeded to try to prove to me that my problem doesn't even exist, and it's just something "to white about" simply because you don't understand it and are fine with bad solutions because before you used even worse RSI-inducing ones

Again, this isn't about YOU or your feelings.
I have a defibrillator implant and run half marathons and 5ks. I view it as a challenge to get past that limitation.

I respect your view, but maybe it’s not as limiting as you think it is. The pacemaker doesn’t define you, it just gives you the backup you need so you can do whatever you want to do.
There's definitely a late adopter/early adopter divide here.

I have found myself wondering what good examples there are of successful (Ready Fire Aim) early-draft-standard adoption on the web. CSS in early Internet Explorer is one of them -- that was a choice that ended a ridiculous, unworkable not-invented-here adventure at Netscape.

But on the flip side, I am reminded of (Google) Gears, which was promoted as a solution but was really only a technology demonstrator for the idea that ultimately surfaced as Web Workers.
