Just looked up Hugo Gernsbacher, the person after whom the awards are named. He was born in Luxembourg and later moved to the US. Given his life, collective works in science fiction and technology (he owns 80 patents), I’d say the Hugo Awards are supposed to be orthogonal to notions of censorship and “what makes China happy”.

Something amusing about “anti-China prejudice” is that generally speaking most countries don’t especially care if you badmouth them. Can you imagine Americans up in arms that someone in China doesn’t like or respect America? And don’t scour the internet to find outlier examples, any reasonable person well acquainted with American culture knows the answer.

Will the public ever get to see this documentary.

https://variety.com/2024/film/news/union-filmmakers-amazon-l...

"Amazon describes itself as a company that "strives to be Earth's most customer-centric company, Earth's best employer and Earth's safest place to work." This doc makes it clear that their efforts are clearly not working. Do you think Amazon founder Jeff Bezos will come after this doc or have anything to say about it?

Story: I don't know if he will ever find out [about it]. There will probably be a strategic response that [Amazon] will give if they do acknowledge the film."

Amazon "acknowledged" it by using it as evidence against the union organisers. :)

False declarations were not properly considered at the time dmca came into law ..

The general fabric of society is slowly crumbling, a crap ton of generally dishonest things are happening at a faster and faster pace.. for example what is happening with restaurant reservations. People just make a 5 reservations and then decide in the moment which to go to or not, and don’t bother to cancel because people don’t have … honor… anymore

I took my wife out for Valentines dinner. They asked if I had a reservation and I did not, they said no problem they were just hoping to clear off one of the 5 couples ahead of me on the “reservation” list. We were there almost 3 hours and no one with a reservation showed… (we sat near the front window and could hear every interaction with the hostess)… I normally wouldn’t care but I was attuned to the situation from an article I had read and wow is it ever playing out all over North America.
Why would you expect them to get in legal trouble? As long as it's covered in the EULA software can do whatever it wants to your computer.

If you just check out https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp and run make, you’ll wind up with an executable called ‘main’ that lets you run any gguf language model you choose. Then:

./main -m ./models/30B/llama-30b.Q4_K_M.gguf --prompt “say hello”

On my M2 MacBook, the first run takes a few seconds before it produces anything, but after that subsequent runs start outputting tokens immediately.

You can run LLM models right inside a short lived process.

But the majority of humans don’t want to use a single execution of a command line to access LLM completions. They want to run a program that lets them interact with an LLM. And to do that they will likely start and leave running a long-lived process with UI state - which can also serve as a host for a longer lived LLM context.

Neither usecase particularly seems to need a server to function. My curiosity about why people are packaging these things up like that is completely genuine.

Last run of llama.cpp main off my command line:

llama_print_timings: load time = 871.43 ms
llama_print_timings: sample time = 20.39 ms / 259 runs ( 0.08 ms per token, 12702.31 tokens per second)
llama_print_timings: prompt eval time = 397.77 ms / 3 tokens ( 132.59 ms per token, 7.54 tokens per second)
llama_print_timings: eval time = 20079.05 ms / 258 runs ( 77.83 ms per token, 12.85 tokens per second)
llama_print_timings: total time = 20534.77 ms / 261 tokens
That, and I found somewhere it wants to use all my data for training, which was a non-starter. Unfortunately I couldn’t find that page any more after the first time I found it.
That's my point: we really don't need to recycle solar panels. We could land fill them for the next 500 years and they'll be the least of our problems, even accounting for heavy metals.

The quip about "cheap" was that recyclability has nothing to do with it (it would likely add cost, not remove any).
The only improvement over physical menus would be an ingredients list IMO. As someone with food sensitivities, it's really, really annoying when a dish's description isn't inclusive of everything in it.

Skip to here[1] if you want to get to the part actually about Altman and his recent fundraising pitch. The beginning is structured as if it is necessary context for that section, but it really is not.

“We were told to vet nominees for work focusing on China, Taiwan, Tibet, or other topics that may be an issue in China and, to my shame, I did so,” said Lacey, who did not respond to a request for comment.

“I am not that naïve regarding the Chinese political system, but I wanted the Hugos to happen, and not have them completely crash and burn.”

Sounds like they were scared into actually overdoing the censorship.

That's pretty bad. But does anyone have a plan for rectifying the situation with authoritarianism in that part of the world that does not involve hundreds of millions of people trying to kill each other?
Nice! The anti-jailbreaking angle is extremely interesting for those of us working on commercial applications.
Uhh, let's see here

Roasted buffalo chicken thighs, smoked gouda, and sautéed onions, bell pepper (and jalapeño or other peor is optional, there's a smoked canned pepper -- I cannot remember the name -- that could be especially good here).

This is pretty straight forward:

1. Place chicken thighs (bone in, skin on) on a roasting sheet, liberally salt. Roast in an oven at 400F for 30 to 40 minutes (start checking at the 30 minute mark).

2. While the chicken roasts, dice an onion, a red bell pepper, and a green bell pepper and sautee in oil of your choice (bonus points for using the drippings from the chicken thighs). Don't cook them all the way through.

3. Cook down canned black beans with a bay leaf, 1/4c of fat of your choice, salt (to taste), cumin (to taste). They're done about the time this concoction resembles a spreadable paste, about 10 minutes over medium heat.

4. Shred the thighs in a bowl, consume or set aside the skin. Add your buffalo sauce if choice. Bonus points if you made your own Buffalo sauce.

5. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat, or a George foreman style press. I'm assuming these are non stick, add enough oil that there is a fine sheen. We don't want to fry the quesadillas (maybe next recipe).

6. Assemble your quesadillas directly in the pan, in this order: cheese (shredded or slice thin is fine), veg, meat, beans, cheese other tortilla. The last layer of cheese is important and will help glue the thing shut. If you're using a skillet, put a lid on it to tap heat and encourage the top cheese to start melting.

7. When the cheese on the bottom has melted and the tortilla is starting to brown, we flip. Get a plate and slide the quesadilla onto it. Then take the skillet and put it on top and then rotate both. If you're using the press, get a second plate and flip.

8. Wait for the new bottom side to brown and melt. Finish with cilantro, lime juice, and something approaching queso fresco. Greek yogurt, sour cream, goat cheese, anything like that will do.

Enjoy!

now I also want Buffalo chicken quesadillas

Most of that is being driven by the same people who worked on the original APIs. Being on a successful platform means all your rushed, good-enough APIs from years ago tend to now be load bearing regret.
My problem with Unarchiver, Keka, and most other "decompression apps" available on MacOS is that none of them offer any kind of browsing functionality or the ability to select specific files to extract from your archive. They seem to focus on only extracting everything, and sometimes charge $4.99 for that limited functionality (looking at you Keka).

For that reason, these days I tend to stick with 7-Zip running through CrossOver for my archiving needs.
With this particular solution, I agree.

But LLMs and RAG in general couldn't be further from crypto in terms of utility.
Yes I think you and I are on the same wavelength.
Stalin had an order to shoot any troops that tried to retreat, so Soviet casualties were particularly high. But when you're a communist and your enemy is fascism, no human toll would seem to be too high.

Also all the genocide and mass rape and bioweapons and those numbers very easily add up. When you have one society that views the destruction of humanity as the greatest sublime pleasure, and others doing whatever they can to stop them, a lot of people are going to die.

For a menu with a large number of small dishes (e.g. Sushi) I kind of like the tablet approach. You used to write numbers on a list and hand it to the waiter, but handling the large menus was very unwieldy. Now you just tap a few buttons on a tablet.

I can’t imagine how you’d factor AI into that though. Ultimately I generally know what I want, and writing a story about it isn’t going to help.

a couple of levels up i said

> 'super simple' excludes power negotiation schemes like usb-c

like, i think you're thinking about devices one or two orders of magnitude bigger than what i'm talking about. i want to be able to wire up a 35¢ device like an attiny4 https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/microchip-technol... with maybe three 1¢ resistors and two 1¢ diodes for protection http://tinyurl.com/26ngjdzh or maybe just soldered directly to the jack. it has 512 bytes of flash for the code and 32 bytes of ram; that would have to contain both whatever is necessary for the communication protocol and whatever application i want to run on it (in that case maybe it could handle a capacitive touch button or run a couple of 5-volt pwm channels)

i'm not sure the attiny4 is powerful enough. but i'm pretty sure i can make the attiny45, the ch32v003, the pms150c, the attiny202, the stm8s003f3, or the mb95f264hpft work

otoh in usb-c a lot of the power negotiation consists of things putting particular resistors across the line, which you could do even at that small granularity. a bus topology won't let you do that, though; if you had five devices plugged in, all their resistors would be in parallel

(incidentally, despite the name, usb is not a bus; it's a bunch of point-to-point links. that's why it can do that)
My partner thinks so.
I was reading the parent comment and just could feel myself itching to recommend AudioScienceReview, but then was glad to see it was already the top answer. It's such a relief when you finally have some hard data to compare options in that snakeoil-laden field.

I built my stack based on the reviews there, and I've been completely satisfied with my Topping D10 (for DAC) and JDS Atom (for an amp), which cost me like $200 total a few years ago. But of course, there's already a newer model of the Atom that seems to blow the old one out of the water: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/j...

And btw OP, for headphones I'm using DT1990s, which might also be worth a listen if you are looking to upgrade from the 990s :)

I'd speculate they were either lying about their motivations or ineffective (maybe both). UK government spending has consistently trended up over the last century [0]. It follows a pattern of large expansions then small pullbacks. Of that, social spending basically only goes up (there is a graph a little down the same page).

Thankfully the dealership near me has been good.

I had an issue where I noticed that keyless entry wasn't working though the fob had new batteries (and was the same with both fobs), nor the "welcome" lighting, and it seemed like the cellular modem was booting up every time. I have a few alterations via OBDeleven, but nothing I thought would mess with that (some lighting stuff, minimize the seat belt chirps, etc.). I forgot to unplug it and when the dealer came up to me and mentioned "Oh, you have ..." I thought the same as you, ah, crap, they're going to blame that, or charge me a diagnostics fee. They just asked what I might have done and asked my permission to wipe anything should the tech think it was necessary.

It ended up just being a faulty battery, so the car was shutting down "non-essential" systems to save energy.
Given that the last one they shipped was 19 years ago, I’m not sure that expertise still exists in-house.
Ollama should support anything CUDA compute capability 5+ (P3000 is 6.1) https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus. Possible to shoot me an email? (in my HN bio). The `server` logs should have information regarding GPU detection in the first 10-20 lines or so that can help debug. Sorry!

> Who? Not Google, etc.

First, I said "not directly consumer oriented ones", which are the minority of SV companies.

That said: Digital, HP, Intel, Honeywell, AMD, etc (e.g I'd argue Xerox PARC was largely funded via Xerox's government contracts).

You also have a lot of the funding Stanford received coming from defense programs.

While Google may not have started that way - hell, it started as a search engine and now it's an spyware and advertising company - it has started taking DARPA research contracts. But plenty of this era's SV companies are military contractors first (Palantir might be the biggest of this generation, but plenty of drone, ai, etc startups are targeting governments).

> > This isn't new.

> Why do people love to say that?

Because it's not? One of the reasons people will say true statements, is because they prefer honesty to idealized mythology.
The organizers were likely given loose instructions about topics that should be avoided, and decided to play it safe. Otherwise they would've been liable themselves.
Assuming that the Google Streetview didn't just have a different lens that time (it's pretty washed out and on the edge of its resolution), let's assume that it was actually gone.

It's very difficult to imagine someone knowing that the station was gone if they really didn't care if it existed or not. Why would they be incented to track it if all their listeners were on AM?

(OT, but this simulcasting license from the FCC seems more like an effort to finally kill off AM than to strengthen it, since essentially all radios handle FM now and have for at least my entire life. If you could receive the same broadcast on FM, why wouldn't you choose that instead? You can get FM stations even in the middle of nowhere, and they're not crackly.)
This is good. Many of the "you used to be able to afford a house" narratives get tripped up by the fact that small houses are no longer built. The obvious solution is to build housing of all different sizes. Unfortunately I doubt many of these will be built since it seems like 99% of the US is opposed to it.
I think Animats has it right: this doesn’t make sense for almost any restaurant - even a place with a huge menu doesn’t have enough entries that a regular search engine wouldn’t be equivalent quality at orders of magnitude better cost & performance – but it could make sense for a company like Uber Eats or Yelp, and I think especially so if the language parsing could handle really imprecise queries across languages.

Based on my dinner earlier, a good example would be if you could take “who has that Ethiopian dish with chicken and bits of bread” and return a place listing only “Doro fitfit”, which would require more effort with a traditional search engine since none of those words are commonly present in the menu and you have to have more than basic Solr-style synonym expansion to expand “Doro” to “Doro wat”, which itself expands to “chicken stew”, and expand “fitfit” to “shredded injera”, which expands to “a type of bread”. Obviously that _could_ be solved with the traditional stack but that starts to get more involved so I could see an advantage for making it smoother.
