It feels absolutely amazing to build AI startup right now:

- We first struggled with token limits [solved]

- We had issues with consistent JSON ouput [solved]

- We had rate limiting and performance issues for the large 3rd party models [solved]

- We wanted to reduce costs by hosting our own OSS models for small and medium complex tasks [solved]

It's like your product becomes automatically cheaper, more reliable, and more scalable with every new major LLM advancement.

Obivously you still need to build up defensibility and focus on differentiating with everything “non-AI”.
You’re still generating a loss of income to someone somewhere. I completely agree there are some ethical arguments in favor of piracy, but don’t be a fool, of course piracy is a form of theft. Nothing is black or white. I still do it when the legal offer fails me, but I’m honest with myself.

In the same way, going to an half empty theater to watch the show without paying would not be stealing according to your definition (you’re not taking the place of a paying customer anyway), yet it is a form of stealing too.
Good thing they're keeping the admin terminal too so you can just keep using that.

Personally I think it's way more likely the admin command is the one off like installing something, changing a setting and then everything else before and between it are user commands that don't need to be in admin space most of the time.
My computers all shut up and do as they're told. Unfortunately they do exactly what they're told and never what I intend but even so I much prefer that over having to convince them to open a door for me or something to that effect. I'd have to change my first name to 'Dave' if I ever let that happen.
You really think nextjs is difficult just because one person you knew had a very outdated nodejs version; it's really not.
What happens when you tcpdump QUIC? Hmmm..

edit: "tcpdump -t quic", and I also see that it's supported (as expected) by Wireshark.
Is it possible to construct a container like the one built for campfire but for something like GitLab or Mattermost?
I made my web interface before I'd even heard of Ollama, and because I wanted a PAYG interface for GPT-4.

You also don't need to actually install my web UI, as it runs from the github page and the endpoint and API key are both configurable by the user during a chat session.

Also (a) the ollama command line interface is good enough for what I actually want, (b) my actual problem was not realising I'd only installed the python and not the underlying model.

Anti-trust issue right there.
Your first point would be a contributor to a surge coincident with lockdowns, although even for that cohort some/many of those would not have occurred straight away but may have occurred outside that time window (though accelerated).

None of your other points, regrettable, discomforting and painful though they were, could have caused that surge in excess deaths.

I get that you hated the lockdowns. I’d argue most people did, but that doesn’t preclude the fact that many of the people that hated them also accepted their ‘necessity’. I put that in quotes because the necessity itself may be arguable, but the fact that many people were convinced they were necessary is not.
How often have you heard "Code to an interface"? I'm sure, at least a few times, and I know it can be hard to understand at first. I've been there, so let's see what it means.
As mentioned, it's besides the point that this specific author happens to be proficient enough.

Why is it up to the LLM to decide if the author is proficient or not to be able to deal with the tradeoffs of the potential solution?
Yeah especially things like complicated forms can get really hairy if you try to implement them by direct DOM manipulation. Things like fields being shown conditionally based on the value of other fields, data being fetched in the middle of form (depending on field values), stupid complicated validations etc.
There's a separate can of worms with prepared statements. Two main are:

- parameters are opaque to planner, so it prefers (or is even forced to?) to choose generic vs specific plans

- it doesn't play nice with pg_bouncer in transaction mode
That's not alignment, that's mis-alignment. Proper alignment would accurately identify the issues, if they have so many false positives you wonder what the confusion matrix for their refusal classifier looks like.
The article says this repeatedly, but it's also wrong about that. QUIC doesn't use exactly the same three-way handshake at the beginning of the session -- but it uses a handshake that lasts at least 3 packets.

First time I've ever seen someone mention it, all the setup instructions I encounter always just say open an elevated terminal.

> Runas /user:administrator "application.exe"

Think this might be why it's not very well known compared to sudo.
> don't have the ability to geoblock

I don’t think anything is stopping them from triangulating if they wanted to, right?
> "It's better and safer for people to remain ignorant" is a terrible take, and surprising to see on HN.

Noone is saying that - that's your reframing of it to suit your point.

AI isn't the canonical source of information, and nothing is being censored here. AI is asked to "do work" (in the loosest sense) that any knowledgeable person is perfectly capable of doing themselves, using canonical sources. If they learn. If anything this is encouraging people not to remain ignorant.

The reverse of this is ignorant people copying & pasting insecure code into production applications without ever learning the hazards & best practices.
If it's not a Japanese made-up term then it's a Nordic made-up term, and if not that then resort to Dutch (honorary Nordics, I guess). At least they've lost their obsession when it came to made-up German terms. Anglo mass-media is so predictable.
It would be nice if standup was actually about asking active questions only because then I wouldn't mentally fall asleep during it. In reality its almost always about just calling out names and hearing someone ramble until maybe you wake up enough to ask a follow-up question.
Table row count is a small part of it, what matters is cardinality and fanout from joins after predicates have been pushed down as far as they can. (Assuming there are sane indexes.)

If the database can't see that your predicates will restrict the set of rows at a certain point in the join graph, it is likely to decide to join too much too early with huge table scans.

Bad join order and join strategy is at the heart of most bad plans once you already have indexes in place that cover the expected joins and lookups.

So while working to reduce hallucinatinons, the LLM peddlers also work to censor their bot output into uselessness?

I wonder how long it would take them to figure it out. Bonus point if it is a two stage, where the compiler contains the real logic but some innocent tool looks like it is the culprit. And of course per the original you modify the compiler in such a way that an attempt to recompile it will reinstall the gimmick. And maybe redirect the distribution downloader to the point that it uses a locally cached devtools copy that ... you get the idea...

I think they meant the person and who they are as "level 8".

In other words, if you have this communication protocol, when it reaches level 8 the message might not be delivered or be misinterpreted based on the person. For example in this thread with some people seeing this as racist, some people see it as nothing.

I know mathematics and I hate his series of books.

The thing that irks me most is using higher-level concepts, like the existence of a atom, to illustrate lower level concepts that led to the discovery of the atom in the first place.
Was it ever really real anyway if you're just little faces or icons on a video call while you worked together.
A museum isn't offering a purchase.

Also, this is the same old false equivalence - taking a copy of something is NOT the same as taking the original, where only one instance of an item can exist and taking it deprives the original owner of their possessional.
Definitely had those. Just wasn't sure about the Buffer.MemoryCopy function.
It’s simply Marx through cultural influence. All this class and oppressor-oppressed theory, reliably useless and counterproductive nonsense (except for causing the people who embrace it to suffer in a bizarre application of reflexivity, if that’s your bag), falls in this category.
Of course we fire people in Sweden pay them and revoke their access, this is very uncommon I have only seen it once myself. Would like to note that, simply speaking, the rules change the more responsibility you have.
ChatGPT a plurality of the time. I go through the API with a little script I wrote. If it doesn't work, I step up to GPT4. The costs are nominal (<$3/month). ChatGPT has gotten worse over time, so the need to escalate is more frequent; when it first came out, it was excellent.

API (rather than web) is more convenient and avoids a lot of privacy / data security issues. I wouldn't use it for highly secure things, but most of what I do is open-source, or just isn't that special.

I have analogous scripts to run various local LLMs, but with my setup, the init / cooldown time is long enough that it's easier to use a web API. Plus my GPU is often otherwise occupied. Most of what I use my GPU for are text (not code) tasks, and I find the open source models are good enough. I've heard worse things about them for code, but I haven't experimented enough to see if they'd be adequate. Some of that is getting used to how the system works, good / bad prompts, etc.

ollama + a second GPU + a running chat process would likely solve the problem for around ≈$2k, so about the equivalent of a bit over a half-century of calls to the OpenAI API. If I were dealing with something secure, that'd probably make sense. What I'm doing now, it doesn't.

"Handbook for the Recently Terminated"

As long as it doesn't read like stereo instructions ....
This is well documented. Just search on "Ukraine War Lab". Eric
Schmidt, Alex Karp, Peter Thiel and many more are all on record
talking about the immense "opportunity" of the Ukraine conflict. They
mix clearing mines and curing cancer with drone assassinations and
totalitarian technological control, all in the same breath.

This is a morality free zone, beyond good and evil. The problem of
this "Hogs Heaven" as Bill Hicks put it, is the perverse incentive for
Google, Palantir and a dozen other companies not just to prolong the
conflict (as a meat-grinder to keep their laboratory) but to play both
sides.

Part of the danger is people who say yes to that. It is like they want to avoid being Flight Sim after 9/11. Of course Flight Sim still exists so…
The cross device integrations really are the biggest selling point of apple devices.
They don't always work, and some work better then others... But every other ecosystem is just smaller.

I.e. you can get your sms from an android on your windows PC through multiple applications, but it's not built-in and you still need to configure it.
Same with the easy switching with air pods. Also available for select headphones and various devices, but not built-in.

I am always giggling about apple fanboys being outraged about windows including advertising in the start menu however, considering apple inserts an advert for their cloud storage in the settings app that can't even be dismissed/disabled.

And that's ignoring the constant reminders that you really should use apple music, the gaming service etc
Sure, but then you look at Carrier Command on the ZX Spectrum vs the Commodore and the jealousy fades awy.

Great question and yes, as an attorney in IP, we're all waiting for the court's interpretation of challenges and precedent. Unfortunately, many of the decision-makers are ill-equipped to make the call as they have a difficult time understanding the fundamentals of the new emerging technology. They are very quick at regulating something they don't understand, but slow and often off mark when it comes to setting precedents in favor of businesses and creators.
When I think of Gemini, I think of a digital twin, something which can work with what I have on Google, think like me, or do the things the way I do.

Bard was nice, too, but it was like another thing, separated from me. Gemini sounds more cooperative.
Keyfob security is difficult at best, and impossible at worst. In order to provide better security, you will make the keyfob near useless for the customer. But that's a problem for manufacturers to sort out, for example, by offering various options to their customers.

That said, banning tools? Seriously? Will they now ban hammers, crowbars and hacksaws, because they can be used for breaking and entering?
Are you sure those weren't registered to the ukrainian army?
Having to rely on a hostile technology that could be remote disabled in any moment is not a good indicator for good shape of army in battlefield
I can't write a comment about this article. Discussing any AI, including GOODY-2, could influence perceptions and potentially lead to misuse or unwarranted trust in technology. This could skew technological development impetus and create an imbalance in human-AI interaction dynamics.
I think you folks actually agree here: you say "creating conditions" in a rather impersonal way (because who's gonna create them?) while they say that without implication, those conditions will never appear by themselves. And none of you said it would be easy.
Thank you very much for gives me useful suggestions. I try to find on Internet but I don’t find any best and reliable company which drives traffic to my website. That's why I am here for asking your help. Can anyone here who recommend me best company which provides me these services?
I don’t think that’s what they meant.

Starlink is a US company. The US have imposed some sanctions against Russia. Likewise EU have imposed sanctions against Russia too.

So the question I think they are asking is if Starlink is in violation of any US or EU sanctions here.
Common pitfalls in the book,

- starts with overly philosophical view of money. Feeds money mysticism. Unified theory of money is meh.

- can't break away from microeconomics thinking.

- Every concern and viewpoint in mainstream monetary theory above basic undergraduate level is missing. For example, the only reference to Minsky is quote from CNBC news.

- ends with technical solutions for non problems.

It's OK to go against the grain and represent alternatives, but the author should at least be aware. Original thinking without knowledge of what exists is not valuable.
The declaratory ruling reads such that a real-time translation service or artificial voice to accommodate a disabled live service agent would also be forbidden.

In both cases an artificial voice is being generated. This ruling seems to trample on some basic human rights.
Starlink doesn't offer service in UAE, so this must refer to diverted use of Starlink Maritime. Starlink Maritime is offered through (among others) Dubai-based maritime supplier ELCOME.[0]

The ToS for Starlink Maritime isn't available, but this partner brochure[1] says:

"Starlink Maritime is available for use in waters around the globe. Coverage in Territorial Waters is contingent on government approval." (italics in original)

"* Starlink Maritime service is provided on a best effort basis; stated speeds and uninterrupted use of services are not guaranteed."

So yes, Starlink will have ample reason and cause to shut down any ELCOME (etc) terminals found operating inside Ukraine or its territorial waters. Starlink terminals all have built-in GPS, so from a technical standpoint this is trivially easy.

This comment states the obvious, but it isn't adding anything. Must has expensive lawyers for this kind of stuff, but in the worst case (there is no legal route to stop Russia using starlink in this way) I would want to make it very clear that that was a problem and use my substantial voice to have something done about it.
Starlinks are associated with a user account.

So it should be trivial to determine who is Ukrainian and who is not Ukrainian.
Correct, penalties for copyright infringement are far more draconian than theft.
> worked as TV news producer

A view: (1) Want to know what is going on in the world, to improve life, career, be an informed citizen, for curiosity, etc. and (2) would like to have a news source that would provide (1).

So far, know of no source(s) that provides (1) with quality high enough to pay attention to: One issue of quality is (A) achieving common high school standards for term papers; can't find such sources. (B) Can like entertainment but mostly want INFORMATION that is both credible and relevant to (1). (C) Can't find sources with such information. (D) Simple tests: (i) What was the arithmetic used to calculate efficacy of Covid vaccine in the early randomized, placebo controlled, double blind trials -- it appears that the US MSM (mainstream media) doesn't understand or want to understand that arithmetic. (ii) How big is the US national debt, over time, in comparison with the US GDP, considering inflation, in comparison with the needed US money supply, other considerations? (iii) The US birth rate is so low, on average less than 2 per woman, we are going extinct -- why, in the US, EU, Japan, etc.? (iv) What people, companies, organizations are driving the US open borders and how are they doing that? (v) What are the forces that have made acceptable, surgery on the genitals of minors and how did those forces do that?

A summary of the MSM is that it is often traditional journalism where instead of the standards and techniques common in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) fields goes for emotionalism (over rationalism) borrowing from drama and fictional literature -- grab people by the heart, the gut, and below the belt and their eyeballs and ad revenue will be sure to follow.

Not all such information in (1) produced with quality as in (A) and (B) has to be comparatively expensive.
Analogies are not arguments.
How about you address the fact that this is a hard problem and the people complaining have, mostly never had to try to solve it?

The folk from google are having a go, it’s pretty good.

It’s getting better; compared to bard.

Do you dispute either of these two points?

No one has a meaningful solution to AI safety, anywhere, without either being too weak or too strong.

Do you dispute this?

How about some meaningful critique here. People are very quick to complain about things they don’t like, but when it comes down to it, no one has any real fixes for these problems.

> leave you with a product no one wants to use.

If the product is in a state where you consider it unusable, don’t use it. You’re not providing any meaningful feedback, you’re just whinging to the internet for karma.

I particularly like this definition. Moments like those I enjoy a lot.
I was simply marveling at what could be done without on a ZX Spectrum, when contemporary 8-bits usually had some mix of sound, scroll, sprite/video hardware.
Physically impossible if you just have a couple satellites in GEO.
Can't give you a proper definition (if it exists) but I do see a parallel between the idea of a society shaped by economic class struggles (which will eventually end with a defeat of the current dominant class by the currently oppressed class) and the idea of a society divided in identitarian classes (white, black, man, woman, straight, gay, trans, etc.), and an ongoing struggle between oppressors and oppressed classes.

In fact it seems pretty reasonable to infer that identity politics is a descendant- transformed, but still recognisable- of a marxist analysis of society.
