I suspect, but cannot confirm or even really look up, that they cheaped out on some of the switch infrastructure in the middle. Also, at least some of the radars I dealt with produced object data and that meant that they had a defined "frame" size of 65536, even though it would often be mostly zeros, so it had to do fragmentation no matter how you set up jumbo frames and that needed to be handled at the sensor firmware level. There's also some tradeoffs inherent in gigabit speed T1 automotive ethernet and some stuff that was defined at the mac layer rather than the packet layer. Happy to chat more about it, feel free to look up my email in my profile.
Is a $5 can opener better than a $2000 telescope at opening cans? Yes. Is stable diffusion better at producing finished art, by virtue of not being closed off and DEI'd to oblivion so that it can actually be incorporated into workflows? Emphatically yes.

It doesn't matter how fancy your engineering is and how much money you have if you're too stupid to build the right product.

As for this being written nonsense, that's the sort of thing someone who couldn't find an easy way to win an argument and was bitter about the fact would say.
To me the 'It didn’t get all of them' is what makes me think this AI thing is just a toy. Don't get me wrong, it's marvelous as it is, but it only is useful (I use ollama + mistral 7B) when I know nothing, if I do have some understanding of the topic at hand it just becomes plain wrong. Hopefully I will be corrected.
I don't think they are in any way minimizing ADHD. ADHD is diagnosed by symptoms, and has a large number of different possible underlying causes, most of which are not well understood. When ADHD is caused or worsened by an allergy, that in no way makes it not real ADHD, but can make it easier to treat, if the allergy is identified!

It's known that ADHD is highly heritable and has some specific genetic mutations weakly associated with it, but it can also be caused by traumatic brain injury, toxin exposure, some food dyes and preservatives, and allergies. It's very likely that many of the heritable genetic factors themselves have interactions with external environmental factors, and can therefore be treated with environmental manipulation, if we can understand it better.
Ok, crazy tangent;

Where agents will potentially become extremely useful/dystopian is when they just silently watch your entire screen at all times. Isolated, encrypted and local preferably.

Imagine it just watching you coding for months, planning stuff, researching things, it could potentially give you personal and professional advice from deep knowledge about you. "I noticed you code this way, may i recommend this pattern" or "i noticed you have signs of this diagnosis from the way you move your mouse and consume content, may i recommend this lifestyle change".

I wonder how long before something like that is feasible, ie a model you install that is constantly updated, but also constantly merged with world data so it becomes more intelligent on two fronts, and can follow as hardware and software advances over the years.

Such a model would be dangerously valuable to corporations / bad actors as it would mirror your psyche and remember so much about you - so it would have to be running with a degree of safety i can't even imagine, or you'd be cloneable or loose all privacy.
If it's a question of facts, why are you allowing blind assumptions to lead your opinion? Do you have sources and evidence for their agenda that matches your beliefs?
Claude doesn't refuse requests if you have API access and use a prefill, for what it's worth. If anything it actually complies more than GPT 4.

When you say Claude is worse than Mistral Medium are you going by the Chatbot Arena Leaderboard or some other benchmark? I wouldn't use Claude for coding but I find it to be pretty good at other tasks.

At least on my LG TV, basic non-"smart" controls are available directly via both RS-232[1] and IR remote without recourse to menus.

The IR remote, in particular, might be a solution for your in-laws' TV, as LG-compatible IR remotes are "plug-and-play" and available for less than $10 (avoid "service" remotes for this application, as they include a button that makes it easy to accidentally factory reset the TV, which is both annoying and, in the case of OLED TVs, maybe even potentially harmful[2].

RS-232 is particularly nice for tinkering with one's own TV, as it allows you to disable the OSD entirely, completely neutering all smart TV functions and pop-ups until the TV is turned off (or OSD is re-enabled via RS-232), and also includes video and audio controls not available on any of the IR remotes I've seen (brightness, contrast, bass, treble, etc.).

Along with a 4-port IR-controllable USB switch[3] and an audio interface with a TOSLINK input[4], I use the RS-232 functionality as a basis for my desktop "KVM", with inputs, brightness, power, and volume controlled with an Apple Siri remote paired to a Mac.

The only times I touch the menus are rare cases where I actually want to use the built-in smart TV apps (viz., for 4K video from services that don't support it on Mac or PC).

[1] https://github.com/jasminetroll/LgTvControl/blob/master/Docu...

[2] Source: unconfirmed Internet claims that the button resets a panel refresh timer that may lead to burn-in and warranty invalidation, which seems crazy for something that could be triggered without confirmation by a simple IR command one might accidentally mis-program into a universal remote by mistyping a single number.

[3] https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Sharing-Computers-Perip...

[4] https://babyface.rme-audio.de

Which is awesome and highly recommended, but for the present application any USB audio interface with low-latency monitoring and TOSLINK should work as well (and if you don't care about mixing the currently active HDMI audio source with other audio like I do, the volume on the TV's built-in speakers and non-digital audio outputs is controllable via RS-232).
As I recall, it began right after the George Floyd murder. It was clearly time for things to change, and the media latched onto that.
At minimum, the entire setup will be virtualized, which does add overhead.

GE’s decline wasn’t because they offered financial services. It's a textbook case of mismanagement of an overly complex business.

Tons of companies offer financing for products they manufacture just like car companies have done so since the 1920s — more than *100 years! — and in many cases longer than that. It’s not new. It’s not unusual. What’s different about this? The subject matter? The cloud-as-a-service component? How is it really different from support contracts? It’s really not.

Sitting around trying to make it sound like a manufacturer offering financing is some deep conspiracy is crazy talk, no matter how many times I get downvoted for saying it.

(Downvoting on hacker news is supposed to be used for deemphasizing poor comments not downvoting people you don’t agree with btw. This isn’t Reddit. The idea is to encourage high quality discussions not win popularity contests and we should endeavor to keep this community differentiated.)

I would love to see a coherent argument as to what’s so massively unique about providers financing their own equipment to their channels. I just don’t see it as being anything different from standard. Neither is investing in the most promising companies in your ecosystem unusual for Norge companies. These aren’t unusual things: they are well trodden paths used by many kinds of companies.

Imagine typing a description of your ideal self into an image generator and everything in the resulting images screamed at a semiotic level, "you are not the correct race", "you are not the correct gender", etc. It would feel bad. Enough said.

I 100% agree with Carmack that guardrails should be public and that the bias correction on display is poor. But I'm disturbed by the choice of examples some people are choosing. Have we already forgotten the wealth of scientific research on AI bias? There are genuine dangers from AI bias which global corps must avoid to survive.

OK, now please build the second floor. We need it fully completed and functional a.s.a.p.

However, do not build the first floor yet, because I am still waiting for some important decisions to be made.
While the current regime in Russia persists, any project you make and especially any company you make would carry the taint. It's not about you personally and you can do nothing about it, but doing serious business with a company headquartered in Russia would always be problematic for the Western counterparty, even if they don't have any political or moral objections (many would have). So, if you want to live in a world that is not limited by Russia, Iran, PRC and maybe India - leave. If you don't feel it's ok with you to live in a fascist country (and let's not mince words, that's what Russia is now), even if you personally aren't taking part in its atrocities, leave. As a young, smart person possessing skills that are highly sought after on the market, you'll do fine. There would be adjustment period, there would be some problems to solve, you may feel our of your comfort zone and you will undergo some frustrations, but ultimately you will be fine, and likely better than you are now.

Nobody can tell you what your ethics should be, now that you're not a kid anymore, it's for you to discover and decide. But leaving Russia with your age and your skill set is certainly doable and in fact not that hard. I emigrated twice, and I wouldn't say it's exactly easy, but it's certainly something one can do if you want it to happen, and there's nothing to it that a reasonably smart person can't solve. And the younger you are, the easier it is. If you feel like that's what you want to do, don't waste time.

There's very little chance you can do anything for Russia now, if you don't like what's going on there. If you try, you will likely be hurt, jailed and maybe worse. Some people still do it, out of the feeling that even the tiniest chance of making difference is worth it. Nobody can advise to anybody else to be a hero, it's a very hard and very thankless thing to do. Many, including me, would admire such a choice, but nobody can require it or fault anyone for not choosing it. I know what I'd do - I'd leave as soon as I could and never look back - but your choice is yours and only you can make it.
Yes, for booking appointments, a simple interface might do the trick. However, we've seen many excellent use cases of our API that prevent repetitive tasks and help companies save money, like AI logistics assistants, pre-surgery data collection, AI tutor and AI therapists. I believe the future will bring even more voice interface applications. Imagine not having to navigate complex UIs; you could easily book a flight or a hotel just by speaking.
Also, older people might prefer phone calls over navigating UI interfaces.
I always had the impression that it was a design taken blindly to desktop after it ended up getting positive reception on mobile.

On desktop, I found it to have weird buttons, weird spacing, weird controls and layouts with hamburger menus all over the place.
Yes, we are a developer tool, and we certainly get interest from clients working on customer satisfaction agents, call center agent training, etc.
At the end of the day it's SQL on top of my integration layer. I love that. I don't know how it'd work in practice, or if it's any better than adopting a data warehouse - but even for understanding state management or offering a tool to create a view of a "customer" data definition is valuable.

There's value to be had, I don't love the concept the author is proposing but the overall thing they're building, provided it "just works", certainly has some legs.
Really. I am not that impressed. It is not something radically different from doing the same thing with a still photo which by now is trivial for those models.

What is being tested here doesn't require a video. It is not showing to be able to derive any meaning from a short clip.
It is fucking doing very fancy OCR, that's all.

What would impress me is if shown a clip of an open chest surgery it was able to comment what surgery is being done, which technique is being used, or if shown video of construction workers, be able to figure out what is the building technique, what they are actually doing, telling that the guy with the yellow shirt is not following safety regulations by not wearing a helmet.
Thanks! If you go to where you installed the model from and click on the download button, you can install additional models or remove installed models.

Now that I think of it, it could be a bit confusing. Thanks for asking, I feel like I need to improve this a bit.
I had a very similar problem this week, trying to encode 5**13 states in a 32-bit int. Should be doable with this. What is this encoding called? I haven't seen it before.

But you're mixing things which are regular maintenance with things which are a larger repair job.

It almost feels like you're saying the mileage a car lasts is about how many miles it can last without maintenance?

Adjusting valves (on cars that need it) is a regular maintenance item.

Cat converters, timing chains or belts are also maintenance items. Same for bushings, hoses, seals. None of these are a big deal. (Well, a few seals might be, depending on access).

Valve stems and crank bearings are a more major engine rebuild. I've never had to do this on any car even into the 200k-250k mile range. But if it is necessary, the car is back on the road after that, so it still "lasts".
The one I'm most excited about is improved error recovery:

That problem would be mostly solved if they didn’t use the phone number = account model. If you have public usernames that are sufficiently complex, spammers would spend the vast majority of their time shouting into the void. Presumably, seeing an account spamming messages to recipients that don’t exist would be a strong indicator of an account that should be closed.
I am not sure if I understand things correctly, but what apple did seems like a lot of work for little benefit. Symmetric encryption is not threatened nearly as much by quantum computers. Using a PQ key exchange should make adequately safe until someone breaks symmetric encryption, which seems like a high odds bet. The author of age wrote some time ago why aes128 is good enough.

But I am a classical musician so for the love of god don't listen to me.
No, they cannot be reliably parsed. There is no unambiguously correct parsing for many (or, arguably, any) strings. Two people could say the same thing in the same context and mean different things by it. You can't even definitively say whether what they said/wrote is valid English. Sure, there are strings most would agree are and strings most would agree aren't, but even taking consensus opinion as the source of truth, most isn't all, and there's no universally agreed upon threshold for acceptance.
If you are a beginner and you are coding in Python, I'd say hold off on the design patterns (as defined by the gang of four) but instead focus on idiomatic Python. The reason is many of the design patterns are baked into the language. It may create more confusion. For idiomatic Python, I can recommend two books that I've found really helpful:
1. Python Cookbook by David Beazley (it doesn't have the latest features like pattern matching but the 3rd edition uses Python 3 and it is still very relevant)
2. Fluent Python by Luciano Ramalho (the book itself is very good but it is also very valuable for the list of suggested readings at the end of each chapter).
Should you fine tune for JSON output?
But with the upside that it is technically unknown whether or not you actually could have pulled it off if you tried, and if every once in a while you manage to perform the impossible, that covers for 100 failures.

Actually the most important step of parsers (as even non-incremental, slow (or better: not fast) parsers are fast enough) is error recovery (error resilience) from syntax errors (mostly half written or half deleted code).
What is time consuming is e.g. type-checking. Semantic checking in general, like exhaustiveness checks of pattern matches, syntax checking is fast.

he calls this technology "exciting." it makes me shudder. i have been contemplating this for a decade, this specific thing, and now it really is right in front of us. what happens when the useful data within any image or video stream can be extracted into the form of text and descriptions? a model of the world or of a country will emerge that you can hold in your hand. you can know the exact whereabouts of anyone at any time. you can know anything at any time. a real-time model of a country. and AI will be able to digest this model and answer questions about it. any government that has possession of such a system will wield absolute control in a way that has never been possible before. it will have massive implications. liberal democracy will no longer be viable as an economic of political framework. jeff bezos once said that we are essentially lucky that the most efficient way for resources to be utilized is in a decentralized manner. the fact that liberty is the strongest model economically, where everyone acts independently, is a happy coincidence. centralized economies, otherwise known as communism, havent worked in the past but that will change because with the power of AI, and with the real-time model and control-loop that it will make possible, the most efficient way to manage and deploy resources will be with one central management entity. in other words, an advanced AI will do literally everything for us, human labor will be made worthless, and countries that stick to the old ways will simply be made obsolete. inevitably, the AI-driven countries, with their pathetic blobs of parasitic human enclaves hanging off their tits, will move in on the old countries and destroy them for some inane reason such as needing more space to store antimatter. whatever.

even without looking all the way into the future, these AI video and image digesting tools will give birth to new and horrifying possibilities for bad actors in the government. their ability to steam roll over peoples lives in a bureaucratic stupor will be completely out of control. this seems like a sure thing but it doesnt seem likely at all that AI will be proactively and bravely used to counter-balance the negative uses by concerned citizens. people need to open their eyes to the possibility that different levels of technology are like points on a landscape -- not necessarily getting better or worse with time or "progress."
I see it as not unlikely that there'll be a campaign to sigmatize, if not outright ban, open source models on the grounds of "safety". I'm quite surprised at how relatively unimpeded the distribution of image generation models has been, so far
You don't protect the wiring, you protect the start protocol. Similar to asking "Can we protect the internet by protecting the ethernet cables?"

Put a public key on the engine controller, have it challenge the key with a random start number, have the key respond with the signature of that number, engine starts.

You can do that challenge over the can bus.
Humans are legally and contractually required.

No, seriously, there are rules having nothing to do with AI that require certain things to be done by separate individuals, implying that you need at least two humans.

People assume that we can scale the capabilities of LLMs indefinitely, I on the other side strongly suspect we are probably getting close to diminishing returns territory.

There's only so much you can do by guessing the next probably token in a stream. We will probably need something else to achieve what people think that will soon be done with LLMs.

Like Elon Musk probably realizing that computer vision is not enough for full self-driving, I expect we will soon reach the limits of what can be done with LLMs.
