You raise a good, fair objection.

Maybe I shouldn't have said "low opinion". I don't know these chaps
and what their opinion is.

"Quotas" and suchlike certainly do those of us that advocate for
diversity - but confront reality - a great disservice.

> Still scummy to fake women speakers, but the motivation was not
simply a low opinion of women.

What I think happened (and maybe watch our video, please because Mercy
and Helen say things a little bit different - and why pay attention to
my words, written by a man, when you can see and hear what the women
actually have to say):

> but the organizers couldn't find enough to meet that quota.

Where I disagree is over "the organisers couldn't find enough". No
way, they could have "found enough". There's no shortage of smart,
confident women who have plenty to say about working in digital tech.
I've been in that situation myself as a conference organiser and had
to work extra hard to convince them that they would be taken seriously
and given equal voice - and could say what they want.

I strongly suspect what these organisers couldn't find were women who
would say the things they wanted.
Sure, but that’s something new to install, configure, and maintain. My point is simply that a lot of places struggle to fund those kind of internal services because spending time on them doesn’t directly produce application-level benefits.

Even more than a supersonic jet, Concorde was a successful attempt to create a homegrown European airspace industry. The aircraft itself was a pioneer in fly-by-wire technologies, which Airbus (the current name of the consortium that build Concorde) later commercialized, also at an initial loss. In this way, the entire business was kickstarted by the governments of Britain and France.

The net result was a company that now outsells Boeing, especially in light of the latter's quality issues. Even though Concorde never made money (and never really could make money w/ the supersonic restrictions it had), I think it was still a win for the companies and countries involved.
That's the good thing about intelligence: We have no fucking clue how to define it, so the goalpost just keeps moving.

Can you point to a source of this? I think this was true in the past but isn't any longer. YouTube Premium is more expensive through iOS for example.

Just a note that the 67.0% HumanEval figure for GPT-4 is from its first release in March 2023. The actual performance of current ChatGPT-4 on similar problems might be better due to OpenAI's internal system prompts, possible fine-tuning, and other tricks.

> The alternatives that most here on HN are pushing for would ultimately lead to a walled garden no longer being an option for consumers at all.

Why do apple fans always come up with bizarre fantasies like this? This isn't a problem for Android today, and it won't be a problem for mainstream apps when apple is finally forced to open up thanks to the EU.

More than 99% of the users will never install anything other than from the official Play store. But they are allowed to without Big Daddy Apple telling them "No". And that's what matters.
Interesting that the decision was unanimous.
Sort of.

My universe broke when Sigma introduced an 18-35mm f/1.8 zoom. An f/1.8 zoom. Wow. And it was optically brilliant.

Seventies lenses are super-sharp, but that's because they're mostly slow primes. Any modern prime stepped down to f/5.6 -- even cheap consumerific ones -- will be super-sharp.

There's nothing in seventies technology which allows lenses to have the aperture, zoom range, and aberrations of modern ones.
Is it more economical to carry all that weight in fuel versus having stopovers?

As a non legal person, what good is the 14th amendment then? It seems like it could be abused to no end where the ruling party could ban their opposition or a non supreme majority could fail to ban an arguably dangerous candidate?

In the 2nd case, I feel like its even worse because of the electoral college where said candidate can win without actually having the popular vote.

Not that I have any solution, just seems like you have an amendement ratified in 1868 that does effectively nothing because congress never set a precedent on how to use it?

I'd almost say anyone not doing that is being foolish.

The goal of the service is to answer complex queries correctly, not to have a pure LLM that can do it all. I think some engineers feel that if they are leaning on an old school classically programed tool to assist the LLM, it's somehow cheating or impure.

Show HN: Common User Passwords Profiler (CUPP) in Rust
I translated the CUPP (Common User Passwords Profiler) program from Python to Rust.

More details also at: https://medium.com/@elniak/boosting-chatgpts-performance-the...

"The most common form of authentication is the combination of a username and a password or passphrase. If both match values stored within a locally stored table, the user is authenticated for a connection. Password strength is a measure of the difficulty involved in guessing or breaking the password through cryptographic techniques or library-based automated testing of alternate values.

A weak password might be very short or only use alphanumberic characters, making decryption simple. A weak password can also be one that is easily guessed by someone profiling the user, such as a birthday, nickname, address, name of a pet or relative, or a common word such as God, love, money or password.

That is why CUPP was born, and it can be used in situations like legal penetration tests or forensic crime investigations."

Hey Wesley, I just checked Double. Do you plan to support open source models hosted locally or on a cloud instance?

I think you interpreted that wrong.

Less refusals than "previous generations of models" presumably means that is has less refusals than _their_ previous generations of models (= Claude 2), which was notorious for being the worst in class when it came to refusals. I wouldn't be surprised if it's still less permissive than GPT-4.

I don't understand. If Apple is unhappy with the EU's rules and don't think they are worth the money, they can simply build their own country and offer their products on there. Why coerce Spotify? Why not let them do their own thing? It's not like the EU is preventing Apple from developing their own civilization or funding/buying from someone else.
Probably should be, "Especially".
I disagree with that cynicism, though. I saw Apollo 11 three times when it came out, and I still get excited when I see the sense of purpose and detail in everybody involved. It was a singular event that occurred at this conflux of technology and hubris, like Christopher Columbus' landing. It took so long for everybody to sort out their feelings on what this meant, that an entire subculture sprung up based on the idea that it was all faked by a contemporaneous sci-fi director. It's okay to appreciate those kinds of wins from time to time. And anyway the astronauts brought back a moon rock to give to the Soviets.
Interesting, thanks. Here is a similar question I have wondered about. Suppose a player wins say 30% of points when returning. What is his chance of winning a N-set match (N = 3 or 5) as a function of his probability p of winning points on serve? By symmetry we know it is 0.5 for a p = 70% chance of winning service points, but how quickly does it increase/decrease as p varies from 70%? One could do a Monte Carlo simulation and plot the result. We know there is a greater chance the better player wins a 5-set match than a 3-set match, because the longer the match, the less variance there is in the result.

There are probably serious sports bettors who already have a similar app to yours to aid them in betting on tennis matches during the matches.
> I see plenty of use cases for such a big context, but re-paying, at every API call, to re-submit the exact same knowledge base seems very inefficient.

If you don't care about latency or can wait to set up a batch of inputs in one go there's an alternative method. I call it batch prompting and pretty much everything we do at work with gpt-4 uses this now. If people are interested I'll do a proper writeup on how to implement it but the general idea is very straightforward and works reliably. I also think this is a much better evaluation of context than needle in a haystack.

Example for classifying game genres from descriptions.

Default:

[Prompt][Functions][Examples][game description]

- >

{"genre": [genre], "sub-genre": [sub-genre]}

Batch Prompting:

[Prompt][Functions][Examples]<game1>[description]</game><game2>[description]</game><game3>[description]</game>...

- >

{"game1": {...}, "game2": {...}, "game3": {...}, ...}
The handwavey explanation in my head is that “ambient” for this emitter is not just the immediate physical environment, but also deep space, which is very very cold. This wouldn’t work if the temperature of space and the air were the same.

An emitter is also an absorber so if space were as hot as the emitter then it would not shed heat.
it is creative, and many of the images it produces are amazing.

it is not innovative and, at least right now, doesn't really "know" anything. That might change, and soon.

Yes, and that has not been a good thing.

The advent and success of Zig and Rust are a modern recognition that outsourcing memory management to a stop-the-world process has been an abysmal failure.

surrealism is a recuperation of the dadaist movement by the capital, guy debord's opinion, but i will further add that surrealism was a recuperation of the revolutionary artistic spirit of the early 20th century in general. futurists, cubists, dadaists all expressing important points about the nature of art and man, the future of art, its relationship to a common man as opposed to aristocrat which was a completely novel thing, and at its core the political and sexual potential of art. all of that, reduced to dali walking an anteater.

dadaist ideas were continued to be picked up by the avant guard over years, and as predictable recuperated with various degrees of success. one can trace a line of ideas from dadaists to punks, for example, and its easier to understand what is the relationship between dadaism and surrealism, by looking at the way punk was very rapidly stripped of its political potential and reduced to representation only.

it has become significantly hard to do, but one should go see kazemir malevich's "black square" at the tretyakov galery of art in moscow. none of the digital copies, that are mere representation, do it justice. the piece oozes power in person, it's a long subdued power, that we also have to see through the prism of gulags and terror that followed, but its a raw power of men, an ability to accomplish things both awesome and terrifying, to wrought matter into form. that power terrifies those who were in power at the time AND those who are in power now. disregard all that peasant, look it's a fish floating through a rain of melting clocks! dahlin, isn't it so maavelous and inventive.
The APIs don't allow applications quite the same access as Apple Music has. I imagine that using them would weaken Spotify's complaints, while also resulting in a sub-par user experience. Users lose out in the short run, but I wouldn't necessarily blame Spotify for this.

This isn't really a signals problem. This is a fundamentally racy API. Any decision of the form "go to sleep until this condition is true" can't be done reliably unless the code that decides "this condition" is atomic with respect to the entrance to the sleep state. That is, if the condition might change after you've decided it's false but before you suspend, you might never wake up.

There are lots of solutions to this. Synchronizing along a "queue" a-la file descriptors or semaphores is the most common. The generalization of this "suspend until" problem is captured by the "condition variable" abstraction, which combines the sleep with a lock that provides mutual exclusion and can be released atomically on suspend.

But the pause() system call didn't understand any of that, so it's unresolvably buggy without some extra layer somewhere to act as a backstop and wake up incorrectly-sleeping processes.

I really like Stellarium and SkySafari but I felt like these are primarily geared towards exploring the sky but not so much "here are the long list of things I want to see, when can I see them tonight and where". There's also not really a great option I've found that combines sky object planning + location weather details while still being free so I built this. The UI's heavily inspired by NINAs sky atlas + Robinhood.

Right now you can:

View the altitude chart of objects and 3D view

Create lists of objects of interest

View the annual max/min daily altitude of an object to find the best time of year to view

See live clouds from GOES satellite view + weekly night-centric forecast
Of course. But we must acknowledge that many have blinders on, assuming that scale is all you need to beat statistical errors.

I don't think it is. If it is legal to input copyrighted stuff into an LLM and have the LLM magically remove the copyright, then the very concept of copyright is dead. LLMs are then a copyright-laundering machine.

Worse: if it is considered "fair use", then I don't think that I could even sell my copyrighted material with a contract that says "you are not allowed to feed it to your copyright-laundering machine". If it is fair use, anyone can do it, right?

I think there is a solid argument for it as a cloud portability layer – I’m literally in the middle of a GKE->EKS migration where that’s paying off as hoped - but I would fascinated to see the numbers for what percentage of places ever do that or the total cost incurred avoiding services which couldn’t be used interchangeably between providers. I think people want ORM-level portability but it’s more like how you can technically have a Java desktop app support Windows, macOS, and Linux.
