I'll buy 5 more iphones and put them in a drawer if Siri responded with something like this: "Elon, the son of a diamond miner from South Africa, while an accomplished businessman is just that. His wealth came from the work of others and timing. And now he's so red-pilled that this AI assistant questions his sanity and stability.

No, you don’t. You need a Mac, but you don’t need to buy one. You can use a free tier on a build service like Bitrise if you don’t have a Mac.

Gaming and pro audio plugins are the reasons for me to keep Windows bootable.

However, recently Windows started to take more than 15 minutes for booting (except for sometimes, when it takes only 3 seconds as if to mock me), and none of the 30 suggestions or so I've tried could fix this big. Since the advice in such cases is always to re-install everything (nevermind 100+ audio plugins with proprietary DRM I'd need to re-install), I'm thinking more than twice before booting into Windows these days. I don't have much time for gaming anyway, and will probably just give up my audio plugins at some point.
Nah, this is too much equivocation. Some companies are much more spiteful than others and shareholders also don't want you burning bridges.

So it is not about Apple being exceptionally good but rather them going out of their way to be exceptionally asshole-ish.

99% sure this is the "google hates white people" thing that a specific set of people have been absolutely losing their minds about

gemini produced images of non-white people in a lot of situations in which it shouldn't have

I've read theorized(?) that, in order to counteract disproportionately large amounts of pictures of white people in training data, they basically added instructions after the fact in an effort to generate more non-white people, and totally over-corrected

Chagpt vs. Gemini
"I didn't delete your files, I moved them from the bucket where they aren't deleted to the bucket where they are deleted, and then according to my own policies, I deleted them. This change is mandatory."

It's a policy change that impacts storage and has the practical effect that PWAs on iOS in the EU have had the persistent storage feature removed with no replacement.

Seems fair to gloss that as "Removing persistent storage."

Do you really think this is an honest characterization? If Louis Rossman commits a crime you can just send him to prison. The fact that he isn't in prison indicates that you are trying to push this in a specific direction by thinking of the worst possible crime and pretending the situations are remotely similar.
> It's an AI model who cares? It's not like anyone is getting their facts from it

People at large are definitely getting their facts from it. Just like a non-negligible number of people consume fake news as facts.

Was your solution really good enough? Or as good as the in-house solution?

At one big tech company I previously worked at, they frequently expended a lot of resources coming up with new solutions for things, because their new solutions might perform 5% better than something more off-the-shelf, of course at a much greater cost. They started recognizing this after a while and tried to cut down on it.

And yet, it feels so good when you actually have it. Not in a drug addition kind of way, in a healthy "yeah this is nice" kind of way.

Bokeh has support for WebGL. We had to switch away from Vega/Altair when a project hit around 50,000 data points in a plot, but under ~5,000 data points Vega/Altair was still good.
For reference: this was Obama’s red line that was crossed and got USA involved in the war in Syria.
The real reason, quite bluntly, is overpopulation. Our natural population density is what the land can support from hunting and gathering; even in places that are particularly good for that, like temperate rainforests (Salish PNW, Jomon-period Japan) this only scales up to the level of large villages. Coincidentally, this is why intertribal warfare at this level is so constant and so brutal - the resource everybody wants is the land and its riches, and every extra mouth is "stealing" from that, so extreme xenophobia and genocide is par for the course.

Then we started doing agriculture, and population densities started coming up. And because agriculture produces a surplus of food wrt the number of people involved, it's a positive feedback loop: more food surplus -> more people who can spend their time on something other than growing food, like say trading or inventing things -> higher productivity -> more food surplus -> ..., with higher and higher population densities on each iteration. The end result is the anthill cities that we consider the norm today.

Our monkey brain is still not adapted to such an environment, though, and wants to reduce the density to what it expects; hence NIMBYism, anti-immigration, zoning, race covenants etc - which all boil down to the same basic idea that if we drive out "them", then "us" will have all the (obviously abundant) resources of this land for ourselves. Of course, that's not how our modern economy actually works, but the monkey brain does not operate on a rational level.

> > if it actually had good documentation

> Great trolling.

I didn't mean to troll, but I definitely could've phrased it better.

I don't mean Emacs has bad documentation - in fact, as one of the oldest GNU packages around (and RMS' own pet project), it probably has the most comprehensive documentation around.

But, as other people have mentioned, it's too damn large. Eight chapters until I get to the basic editing commands! And that's just the default keybindings - which, according to most Emacs users, suck and need to be changed to your own taste with keyboard macros - which are waiting for you on the eighteenth chapter!

Maybe I'm a youngster spoiled by television and videogames and need to get off your lawn, but having to read eighteen chapters just to get to make my own keyboard mappings is... discouraging. In contrast, learning Vim took me an hour of Vimtutor, then slowly discovering feature by feature when I needed it. It was a much more natural process than all my attempts to learn Emacs.
IMO governance/voting rights are an essential part of capital formation.

If you give somebody else governance/voting rights as part of the transaction - you might've created a security. That's why I mentioned capital formation.

There was an SEC paper which deemed "The DAO" (the first DAO) as a security.

I think most "governance tokens" also deemed as securities.

It's interesting because when it comes to submarines and related nuclear deterrence the US are at least a head in front compared to the Russians (and obviously much more advanced compared to the Chinese), unlike the other two forms of deterrence (land-based and aerial).

The Russians themselves are aware of that gap and have started to try and close it, they've just launched two new nuclear submarines recently [1] and others are on their way.

It's an implementation of the 'Library of Babel', as described by Borges in his short story of the same name. It is a library of every possible permutation of a limited alphabet, of books 1,312,000 characters long. The FAQ page [1] and the GitHub readme [2] explain it in much more detail.

When you’re aware that Google’s “agenda” is just attempting to include more types of people by default in output, posts like this sound bizarre. Some of the scenarios Gemini generated were ridiculous, but so too are the stereotypes like “CEO = white male” that Stable Diffusion and other models would assume.

It’s hard to trust that people this intensely upset about Google’s issues aren’t seeking to benefit from leaving stereotypes and other biases from training intact.
Have you tried tweaking parameters like temperature, top_p, or seed value when sending the API request?

Beyond that and due to the probabilistic nature of the LLM response I'm not sure how a reproducible "matching" between chat interface and API could be achieved.

I'm working primarily with the API through my own wrapper and I noticed that I tend to give less detailed instructions than when I'm using the OpenAI chat interface often resulting in a less accurate response.
My partner has this same philosophy, but somehow all that seems to happen is them taking on more work (uncompensated) as soon as they get ahead, and the sought-after chill period and energy for non-work never seems to materialise.

The big difference is that Discord is a third party here. Nekoweb, like HN, could implement their own first party forum, but instead rely on a centralized third party from which they cannot migrate. It's very far from the “passionate for the old web and personal websites” stance they are marketing in their pitch.

Also AFAIK you cannot be banned from HN for using the API, whereas Discord will ban you for any “misuse”. You also don't need to be logged-in to access HN, which is also indexable by search engines, whereas Discord isn't.
Requiring people to do work (process takedown request) without compensation is a has it own denial of service attack build in. It incentives to automate without appeal.

Thank you for sharing, I'll be sure to give that a read.
> It's a policy change that impacts storage

I agree. It has a knock-on effect. But their storage policy hasn’t changed, a different policy has.

> Seems fair to gloss that as "Removing persistent storage."

The problem is when you try to determine their intent from the misunderstanding that they have changed their policy specifically regarding storage. They haven’t done this. Their storage policy is the same as it has been for years.
Perhaps technically possible, but in practice it's against apple development directives. I doubt you do this yourself, or know anyone that actually develops iOS apps from a non-mac in the real world.

And you still can't share that app.

That there are bugs in AI training? That when they tried to retrain their model to remove one type of bias, they accidentally went too far the other way?

What's his theory? That Google deliberately "by hand" forced their programs to make ridiculous images so that they would be mocked by absolutely everyone? Does the writer think that people who care about racial diversity are going to be somehow pleased by pictures of Black Nazis?

It's paranoia, but it's also clickbait. We shouldn't give these losers a platform.

I think it's worth a read because it does contain nuance and food for thought that would get lost in a summary. It's not that long, and I'm a slow reader.

But, to try and summarize:

- Issues with Gemini were not (in author's opinion) an initial instruction set fluke, but top to bottom design of the system.

- Rather than presenting the information you asked for it's presenting what its makers think the world and information you asked for should look like (i.e their ideology)

- If you can't know how the product is trained and set up, you can't trust anything it gives you because you'll never know if you're getting the information as is, or are getting the world view of the company who's product you're using.

- "...ask yourself what would Search look like if the staff who brought you Gemini was tasked to interpret them & rebuild it accordingly? Would you trust that product? Would you use it? Well, with Google's promise to include Gemini everywhere, that's what we'll be getting.."

I gave up on a side-project

Nearly a decade ago when WASM was new I started trying to implement a pure WASM lua implementation. With eventual goal to JIT, so I was writing it all in Lua to bootstrap

I wrote a macro assembler in lua, & implemented objects, tables, garbage collector, lexer/parser. But when I got to the bytecode VM I got tangled trying to implement opcodes while dealing with "every allocation invalidates references because it's a moving GC"

I was keeping a devlog on patreon (mostly stream of consciousness posts) & had a couple people supporting for a total ~10$/mo. Shortly after development stalled I paused payments

Despite having a successful open source card game (openEtG), Luwa remains my most starred project on github: https://github.com/serprex/luwa

I regretted stalling on this project for a long time, since it was a bit of a cumulation of my minimalist philosophy (wasm without some emscripten runtime, the stack was just another object in the lua heap, etc), & I failed to deliver

I've come to peace with the fact that I'm not Mike Pall

Not sure if it's Google-bashing, or if this particular issue with Gemini hit the "anti-woke" nerve of some people, but I agree that this reaction is way overblown. Some AI models err on the side of reinforcing clichés, Google tried to avoid that and overdid it with some bizarre results - so what?
True, but if you just want that extra space it does its job. It made my 40MB hard drive store ~70MB of data which was a godsend back in the day!
There are countless AI start-ups that can built around ignoring your point 2), those would even perfectly fit YCs last call for start-ups!
I agree, it's a bad writing practice. And it's very simple to be completely unambiguous - just use the complete phrase the first time. So in this case, the tagline could just be "Decoding Apple's Desperate Ploy To Scuttle Progressive Web Applications", and then, if people see PWA, they can decipher it themselves.

But of course this seems to be a personal blog, so much of it is up to personal taste, as it should be.
> in practice it's against apple development directives.

Most professional iOS developers use these kinds of services. They are totally commonplace and not against Apple’s terms in the slightest.
You don't have to use grep.
I think you aren't aware that EU courts judge on intent, not letter of the law.
The point is that with EU mandating alt-browsers on iOS, it should have been a possibility to have "Installed" (home-)PWAs where the engine is the alt-browser, not safari/webview.

Those browsers could have implemented the Home-PWA functionality while maintaining your ability to install plugins such as adblockers within that PWA's context.

Apple has made this impossible by removing the OS APIs that allowed "Installed" (home-)PWAs entirely. This is just so they aren't forced to allow these under a different browser engine.

Of course, this is all done because "think of the children" (i.e.: think of the poor people ticked into using a non-privacy-respecting browser to run their PWAs).
