ollama seems like taking a page from langchain book: develop something that's open source but get it so popular that attracts VC money.

I never liked ollama, maybe because ollama builds on llama.cpp (a project I truly respect) but adds so much marketing bs.

For example, the @ollama account on twitter keeps shitposting on every possible thread to advertise ollama. The other day someone posted something about their Mac setup and @ollama said: "You can run ollama on that Mac."

I don't like it when +500 people are working tirelessly on llama.cpp and then guys like langchain, ollama, etc. rip off the benefits.

How do you deal with deliveries from DHL and similar?

Everytime I buy something from an eshop I have to start taking calls around the delivery date.

Also it would be a bit annoying (and risky!) to have to remember to turn it on and off again any time I order food.
'Evidence Maximalism' Is How the Internet Argues Now
"Ja wa?" or "Wat mot je?" or "Wazzeggie?" for rude Dutch.
Slightly off topic but am I the only one that approaches strategy games by making a "zeroth order approximation". Eg find the shortest path to victory under the (obviously faulty) assumption that my opponent does nothing and the board is unchanging except for my moves. Now find my opponents shortest path to victory under the same assumption. Then evaluate, if we both just ignore each other and try to bum rush the victory condition, who gets there first?

For most games, if you can see a way to an end state within 3-5 steps under these idealized conditions, there's only so much that an actual opponent can do to make the board deviate from the initial static board state that you used in your assumption. The optimal strategy will always be just a few minor corrections of edit distance from this dumb no-theory-of-mind strategy. You can always be sure that whoever has the longer path to victory has to do something to interfere with the shorter path of their opponent, and there's only ever so many pieces which can interact with that shorter path. Meaning whatever path to victory is currently shortest short circuits the search for potential moves.

CBO tends to have a very good reputation actually.
I wonder why ollama didn't namespace the path (e.g. under "/openai") but in any case this is great for interoperability.
If you expect that low-income people do not consume the services of low-income people that makes sense.
It's a group that by the nature of their production cycle is very exploitable (you have to sell the harvest or it litterally turns into manure), and yet they are extremely essential to a population's survival (unlike e.g. hairdressers, no food ruins your month in a way an overdue trim can't match).

So you want to keep farms up even in times the market wont.
I remember getting an email from John in the early days of Autodesk.

At the time most developers had Sun workstations and he had gotten into all our systems and ran a password crack program looking for weak passwords. Our network wasn't attached to the outside world yet so most of us had weak passwords.

Mine password was a geologic time era something like "Devonian". His only comment was, "No, Jurassic!". The name of his machine? Jurassic Sparc.
Great article - thanks for posting.

TransTroj: Transferable Backdoor Attacks to Pre-Trained Models
That's not what this announcement is: it's an I/O schema for OSS local LLMs.
Wow perfect timing. I personally love it. There’s so many projects out there that use OpenAI’s API whether you like it or not. I wanted to try this unit test writer notebook that OpenAI has but with Ollama. It was such a pain in the ass to fix it that I just didn’t bother cause it was just for fun. Now it should be 2 line of code change.
Wrong. It'll increase productivity, given the acute labor shortage were facing. Immigration has always been a net positive.
tl;dr: The article reports on Figma's challenges after a $20 billion deal with Adobe fell through due to regulatory scrutiny. Figma had to halve its internal valuation to $10 billion, affecting employee morale and leading to severance offers for those wishing to leave. The situation illustrates broader regulatory impacts on tech industry mergers, with similar actions affecting other companies and reshaping expectations around acquisitions and employee compensation.
Interesting. Our regular milk would turn sour after maybe 3-4 weeks. Maybe it was something else making it turn.
Did they send a formal cease and desist to entire countries worth of scammers? Otherwise, this is yet another piece of feel-good legislation that will do nothing to stop my phone from going off.

Yes, I use RoboKiller. No, it doesn't stop everything. The text spam in particular has gotten crazy and it's not even close to election day.
It's not. CBO is consistently reliable.

They’ve plastered “bard” ads everywhere in Tokyo for a while. Surprised to kill the name so quickly, the marketing team in Japan probably had no idea

Useful! At work we are building a better version of Copilot, and support bringing your own LLM. Recently I've been adding an 'OpenAI compatible' backend, so that if you can provide any OpenAI compatible API endpoint, and just tell us which model to treat it as, then we can format prompts, stop sequences, respect max tokens, etc. according to the semantics of that model.

I've been needing something exactly like this to test against in local dev environments :) Ollama having this will make my life / testing against the myriad of LLMs we need to support way, way easier.

Seems everyone is centralizing behind OpenAI API compatibility, e.g. there is OpenLLM and a few others which implement the same API as well.
Any test that is so big that it requires shutting down large sections of society is way, way too big. And I mean, WAY too big, like grotesquely so. Just imagining that level of stress stresses me out.
presumably the fraud is at least as effective or it wouldn’t be done. also i don’t think GP was talking about fraud
Which just then creates lock-in for LangChain's abstractions.
>Figma’s employees, called Figmates

This may take the cake as the worst one yet. I suppose they could have gone with Figments.
>Is there a translation of this into category theory terms?

It's essentially the same as the relation between covariance and contravariance in category theory.
Which FYI puts it in the same league as War Thunder and Team Fortress 2, ie, a profitable free to play game, but not exactly important in terms of redefining culture or being The Next Big Thing.

Hell, RUST is an old, mediocre, "Cursed runes" survival MMO crafting-them-up and it has 100k people playing right now, despite tens of better versions of the exact game formula having been released since.

100k players mid-day is "has-been" multiplayer video game territory. It's "also-ran" MMO territory.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 has 30k people playing right now

All these options are more than the people playing Cyberpunk lol

You'll find plenty or none depending on your desired level of detail. After reading about this topic for years I still don't understand how to use real estate for money laundering.

Windows change is welcoming, yet still not quality. As stated by someone below, sudo is https://www.sudo.ws/. Microsoft should give it a proper distinctive name lie wsudo or psudo. Little thinks like is compounds the issues with Windows / Microsoft.

Even continually sticking to old design patterns causes issues in development and deployment. Big name companies do not trust applications running on hosted Windows because of their current business practices. Microsoft does not even have a means to provided ease of deployment for air-gap system. This is the only way some big business will let products hosted on Windows to be in their facilities.

Windows as become more problematic for me because of all the layers of security that need to be applied for companies to trust Windows. This causes issues such as having to stop typing because Visual Studios or VSCode cannot process key strokes in real time.

Localization translation text standard still does not allow for containing singular and plural in the same key. Translations should be easily to update so the client can improve wording on the fly. Microsoft still recommends using resx and compiling a DLL.

That a fear, not a threat.

> Though one could argue that they have not _definitively_ proven that this app is a threat

Why bother arguing that? They haven't claimed any evidence, let alone proof.

> it really is not much of a stretch of the imagination that a LastPass-lookalike would be used for phishing.

App Store rightly does not ban apps on stretches of imagination.
The article mentions it in passing. This isn't a controversial claim or anything; it's very common in fish.

What if the gov't could shut off political advertising on TV for (say) 48 hours before any national election ? Candidates fall back on print(ed) media and radio. This would cut off many problems (imho).

Opportunity missed. And, too late now.
Figments would at least be amusing in a self-deprecating sort of way.

YES! thank you for doing this, I have been curious about some of the stuff I buy often and I felt like over the last year or two, things have climbed in prices a lot compared to the normal inflation price hikes.
The biggest one for me is that customers understand Apps.

ie, if you have an App on the App Store, there's no explaining to do to the end user. Everybody with a smartphone has installed an app at some point in the past decade, they get it.

Once you move away from that and are having to explain to the user what a PWA is, that it's really the same as an App, just pin it to your home screen, etc etc, you just lose people.
Or just Figs
Fair point! There are a few key differentiators but the AI first approach is definitely a main one. Some of our most used features are nodes that use LLMs but provide a layer of abstraction on top of the LLM calls like our categorizing, scoring, data extraction and summarizer nodes. We support Google's gemini models and Perplexity's too :)
I've had a disturbingly large number of repeat calls from people who absolutely refuse to leave a message. And it's always some recruiter who saw an opening on indeed or somewhere and thinks the resume I updated 5 years ago is a good match.

The problem is that if I'm getting repeated calls from an unrecognized number, I'm assuming my wife, my kids, or my parents are in an ambulance, so I have to drop everything and answer.

As a rule of thumb, if I get a one-off call that doesn't leave a message, I'll search my email inbox for that number, as they've probably contacted me separately. However, one time, I got called 5 times in 90 minutes, with the only message being 23 seconds of silence, and an email I hadn't even read yet (searching the number brought up the email). I sent an angry email that amounted to "you have told me how you AND YOUR CLIENTS treat prospective employees' time. I will never apply to any job you suggest, even independently of you. Stop calling"

"In order to implement its universal transclusion and DRM (yes, Xanadu had a scheme for DRM and micropayments to creators), Xanadu had to be centralized."

Fallback positions from the idealized "roadmap" are what happens when VCs get involved with a system that offers that Zero To One advantage -- but you have to have a One to offer the VCs, which Memex didn't. The question then becomes how much of your road map can be recovered or, perhaps more to the point, do you even _want_ to recover in the light of ground truth experience? At present there is a lot of potential for Information Centric Networking that would be more likely realized in a Ship-Dumbed-Down-Decentralized-Xanadu1994 alternative universe than is likely to be realized now.
Consumption because they're people and spend on things.

Investment because immigrants tend to make a lot of money and (some) culturally save and invest a lot.

Net exports because immigrants work and produce things.
NixOS on ARM
Only partially, as far as I understand it. To get the "native" scroll on iOS, you need to add a line or two of CSS (-webkit-overflow-scrolling) here and there. It's harder on the slower frameworks (Flutter etc.) where you're basically running a Javascript browser engine inside your browser, so you need to implement that behaviour manually (which usually means "wrongly").

Implementing native back button behaviour is more annoying, requiring you to hook into the browser navigation mechanism.
Most of the recent media coverage has been resting&vesting employee backlash against the fact that Google is making them do work again. This is a cultural shift, but not away from the culture that made Google great - the original culture was grad-school, not rest and vest, and that died years ago.

Nearly every econ paper on the economic benefits of immigration sounds like propaganda to people who aren't familiar with the literature, because the estimates of the effects are absolutely massive. It's not intuitive to people, because they don't understand the massive efficiency gains from trade in enlarging the pie. To most people the entire idea of pies that aren't fixed is unintuitive.

Yeah, when you have small children, your obligation to pick up the phone when they aren't with you is increased. I also find that whenever you're shopping for big-ticket items that involve salespeople and soliciting multiple bids, you have to forego your "don't pick up the phone for unknown numbers" policy.

I now just pick up and say "hello?" and count off two seconds. If I don't hear a response within that time I hang up. I've had a couple false positives, but they generally just assume there was a dropped call and try again.

And most importantly of all, game publishers do not want you to be able to use something you buy in Game A to decorate your character in Game B, because they want to skim more money out of you buying a new artificially scarce item in Game B.

Hell, Valve literally already did this with all CS:GO skins carrying over to CS2, it required zero blockchain, doesn't actually give you "control" over the item, and was only done because players have spent literal tens of thousands of dollars on skins and Valve needed to throw them a bone so they would be slightly less upset about CS:GO being essentially memory-holed.
Plenty of economists predicted inflation lol

EDIT: To be clear, I think more of them should have, and it's shameful that they didn't. But the old Econ orthodoxy would have, and this detour from the idea that printing money causes inflation is a fairly recent thing, and wasn't by any means a consensus position.

FWIW, I'm not a front-end developer. I've had to do some over the years, but it's certainly not my area of expertise (I work in AppSec), so my opinion is worth very little.

jQuery might be a crutch, sure, but I'm not sure crutches are a bad thing. There's no reason to make something harder than it has to be. I just like how some things take far fewer key stroke and are less verbose, but still readable.

Readability is subjective. There are people that think Perl is fine and I think it ranks as one of the least readable languages to ever reach popular status. Meanwhile, I think Python is the most readable language to have ever been created, and somehow some people struggle with it, and tbh it kind of blows my mind.

No need to guess at their motivations:

From:
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/senate-republicans...

"The striking turn of events comes as Donald Trump tells the GOP to sink the bill, arguing that it could take the political heat off Democrats ahead of an expected rematch with Joe Biden.

Donald Trump is demanding that Republicans sink the agreement, which they struck with Democrats and is now backed by President Joe Biden, as Trump, the likely 2024 Republican presidential nominee, seeks to wield immigration as a political weapon in the fall election. Trump tore into the bill on social media, calling it “nothing more than a highly sophisticated trap for Republicans to assume the blame on what the Radical Left Democrats have done to our Border, just in time for our most important EVER Election.”"
That must mean they found some similarity metric for high-level chess which is very impressive. In chess one pawn moving one square can be the difference between a won and a lost position. But knowing that usually requires lots of calculation.

Is it really an issue, though, in most cases?
Back when I worked there (2010-2012), a lot of people thought Google wouldn't renew the deal. So there was a scramble to figure out how to make enough money to avoid layoffs.

Basically, how do you make another ~$100M/yr in case Google money goes away?

It's 2024, and Google still pays (more like ~$500M/yr from Google now) and Mozilla still exists. But it was hovering over people's heads back then, and still is.
Is there some kind of black market for massive radio towers? How would the thieves discretely store and sell this? If they were just planning to scrap it and sell the materials, surely there are easier targets?
In one sense, I can understand why they would choose to use Stockfish in mate-in-N positions. The fact that the model can't distinguish between mate in 5 and mate in 3 is an implementation detail. Since the vast majority of positions are not known to be wins or draws, it's still an interesting finding.

However, in reality all positions are actually wins (for black or white) or draws. One reason they gave for why stockfish is needed to finish the game is because their evaluation function is imperfect, which is also an notable result.
Show HN: Atlas Fury, Space Shooter. My First Public Godot Game
Atlas Fury is an action game for mobile devices. I wanted to create a game I would play wherever I go that was inspired by Tyrian from the 90s. It's a time waster, but eh what arcade game wasn't a time waster?

This is the first time I've created a game with Godot. On mobile no less which has it's fair share of issues. For example, iOS runs slower than Android. I'm not complaining, I profiled and targeted some older devices approx. 4-7 years ago, so far so good.

My reading of the fine print (IAAL, FWIW) is that turning off Gemini Apps Activity does not affect whether human review is possible. It just means that your prompts won't be saved beyond 72 hours, unless they are reviewed by humans, in which case they can live on indefinitely in a location separate from your account.

I also asked Gemini (not Ultra) and it told me that there is no way to prevent human review.
