One good sign is they're only a slight improvement on knowledge recall evals but a big improvement on code and reasoning evals. Hope this stands up to scrutiny and we get something better than GPT-4 for code generation. Although the best model is a lot more expensive.
Many PHP sites also don't announce themselves as well, so... how might you factor that in?
not a bad idea also, might have to give it a try if none of the other services work for me.
Haha those are my photos! Forgot I had that placeholder in there. I'll remove it until I have a tutorial video in place - that's my last major task left, outside some bug fixes and waiting for Chrome to fix their audio.

As for how the site works - make sure you have a microphone and ideally headphones. Click START and you'll hear a metronome. Click ADD TRACK to record a loop. If you're musically inclined you can combine multiple recordings to make a short looping song, by either adding bars to a loop or layering multiple tracks. Hit CTRL or right-click (long press on mobile) a track to modify how it sounds or delete it.

I'll post it to Show HN hopefully soon.
I have some official numbers for France, and they directly contradict what you’re saying: https://www.insee.fr/fr/statistiques/4805248 https://dares.travail-emploi.gouv.fr/donnees/les-emplois-vac...

According to our own government, the number of unemployed people in France at the end of last year is estimated at 2.3 millions (7.5% of the active population). the number of open positions for private companies of more than 10 employees (excluding agriculture) is 331,700.

I don’t believe for a second that including agriculture and smaller companies would raise this number even close to 1M, let alone 2.3M. The total number is most likely well below 500K. So it looks like in France, there is there is at most 1 open position for every 4 unemployed people able to work. Likely less. Given these numbers, if all the unemployed French people filled every open position overnight, at least 75% of them would remain unemployed.

I really, really have a hard time believing your numbers now that I have checked the official numbers for my country. I suggest you check for yours.
Different movement. I actually meant the „good roads“ movement from the 1880s:

If by "people" you mean "a vocal minority of app developers", then sure. But the average iOS user not only doesn't care about Apple's app store policies, they actively appreciate them (whether they know it or not).

All apps being required to use a single payment system is a great example: it sucks for the app developers but only for the app developers. From the consumer perspective, Apple's app store is the only place in the internet economy where they're not subject to pervasive dark patterns trying to get them to not cancel a subscription, not back out of a free trial, or otherwise separate them from their money. People pay good money for Apple phones in part because Apple successfully protects them from predatory anti-consumer behavior.

Contrast that with 90s Microsoft, where people bought Windows because that's mostly all that was available (because Microsoft made sure of that). Today there are more non-Apple phone choices than Apple choices, and yet a substantial number of people consistently choose Apple.

https://openrouter.ai/ lets you make one account and get API access to a bunch of different models, including Claude (maybe not v3 yet - they tend to lag by a few days). They also provide access to hosted versions of a bunch of open models.

Useful if you want to compare 15 different models without bothering to create 15 different accounts or download 15 x 20GB of models :)
The point you're missing that this is a just a demo for Wonnx, an inference runtime for ONNX models.

You can plug your own model into it, it's a general-purpose inference runtime that runs in the browser.

Much has been lost (of course far more has been gained - such as my kids using worthless hand-me-down Android tablets as cameras quite creatively) since photography went digital. And combining both photography paper-as-film and eyeglass lens optics and ... what do you mean, darkroom?

Sadly, this marvellous paper - direct positive colour and easy to develop - is no more.

Depends on the lenses, of course. There are still enough crappy new lenses on the market so.

Color rendition is also impacted by the sensor, assuming digital cameras.

Since I don't know which lenses you talk about, hard to tell. I do have some really old ones, 80-200 f 4.5 from the late 70s and an equally old 300 f4.5. Both render color just fine, no difference between those and new Nikkor lenses. Sharpness wise, those old ones are easily as sharp as any new one, lab test confirm that. And the limited amount of glass gives them, a totally subjective, clarity new lenses don't have. Bot that I would d be able to tell just from looking at a printed or processed picture.

Well the EU is not exactly known for well thought out jurisprudence or legislation when it comes to tech.
Human eyes do not work based on discrete frames at all. The entire "sampling" paradigm is completely wrong.

Estimates say humans can see max. 60FPS.

This is a ridiculous statement. You know that's wrong if you've ever switched your phone between 60 and 120hz. Even without personal experience, most HN readers would be aware that, for example, when the Oculus Rift folks were developing their headset they found 90hz to be the minimum to avoid visual disturbances and nausea in an immersive environment.
Different times. The corporate propaganda machine that resulted from the Powell Memo hadn't yet infected the majority of minds (even with Reagan's heavy push) so there were still more people willing to hold companies accountable.

Disney & Co - "You will not own it. You will stream it, and we will monitor you. And you will like it. Furthermore, if we decide to stop streaming it. You will like that as well. That is, your ability to enjoy the work will no longer exist. It's our world, you just stream it."

On the other hand, small (in this case) anime outfits - "To us it's art. We want you to enjoy it. We want you to owm it, perhaps share it. The physical medium is part of the aesthetic. If we should collapse tomorrow, we want the art and your enjoyment of the art to live on. Ideally forever."

And ppl ask me why I still buy physical medium-based art when I ca? Isn't it obvious??
Worthless PR. Further down, another selling point is "MacBook Air supports cloud-based solutions, enabling users to run powerful productivity and creative apps that tap into the power of AI, such as Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365, Canva, and Adobe Firefly."

Wow. Until they support CUDA or more ML/AI implementations on their chips, this is just marketing speak.

M1 is still fast enough, but for next time at least they fixed that.
GPT-4 is also cheaper, 10/30 $/m vs 15/75 $/m for claude 3 opus
If nothing else, this pushes OpenAI to release its next generation in the next couple of months. It can't afford to rest on its laurels.
The chip now also supports connecting up to two external displays at once, finally making up for one of the few feature regressions in the transition from Intel to Apple Silicon

Very surprising they shipped laptops so long with little backlash (at least they felt comfortable that this is not an issue for 3+ years)
There is nothing hard to replicate here.

Microsoft could have put 3 of their programmers to work on this for one month. But it's probably faster and more convenient to just buy it out.

At what point did Apple neglect Safari?

They didn’t chase Google to implement features that solely benefit ChromeOS, but iPhones have completely dominated Android and any other browser engine for mobile rendering performance since the iPhone 4. A miserably slow browser that can receive push notifications is pointless.
I really hate rebases.

Maybe, with a little compression, we have enough disk space to simply do both.

After squashing and rebasing, some normally-hidden data in the commit lets a client resurrect the original, highly-detailed commit graph including every "uh forgot to commit on Friday afternoon, dunno what this was but it's important" commit.

(Of course you can always redact sensitive data, as long as you control and trust every hard disk the data is on)
I'm fascinated by this. I like both Rust and Zig, but I would have guessed that for the kind of complex data structure manipulation required for CRDTs and other clever algorithms Pijul employs, the degree reliable correctness Rust gives you would win out. Are you doing something (like entity-component models?) that disables much of Rust's smarts? Or is it just that much more pleasant to program in Zig?

Routing in the 1970s (and until at least 1992) would also likely have been far longer, with most Soviet and Eastern European airspace closed to Western flights.

Whether the lack of non-stop service was on account of routing and range or of lack of sufficient travel demand I don't know.

Current routing appears to traverse Pland, Ukraine, Russia, Georgia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. I could see much of that not being advisable in the 1970s.

I went by the reviews - I don't intend to read the book. Her husband believes she suffered from borderline personality disorder. Have you had a friend or family member with BPD, or another cluster-B PD?

These are clinical standards for self-absorption and toxic personality traits. In their relationships, cluster-Bs select for supplicants who will love them despite their toxicity. What you're saying about the memoir is consistent with this.

Her mental health conditions aren't a reason to disregard everything she says, but she is providing social and interpersonal advice here, in a way that is likely to encode the dysfunctional schema and disordered thinking she suffered from in life.

For an opinion piece that is about how to empathize with other people, I think it is relevant information that the author probably had a clinical impairment in their own ability to empathize with and understand others.

Yeah the output pricing I think is really interesting, 150% more expensive input tokens 250% more expensive output tokens, I wonder what's behind that?

That suggests the inference time is more expensive then the memory needed to load it in the first place I guess?
they won't trust it end-to-end, but they will allow AI to generate code and have humans perform final review, at least at first. That requires way fewer developers.
Looks like this is the only announcement, other than new colors for cases and watch bands[1]. That's surprising, I was expecting something iPad related as well.

That's not a contrarian take, because it's just not relevant. "C and C++ seem to work" is not the question at issue.

Moreover, C and C++ are the world we live in in which CVEs flow like water, where our systems crash routinely, where we have the problems that are making us have this discussion in the first place.

If you think this is all just fantastic, that there isn't any option of doing better, we just have to live with the effects of memory unsafety, and there's no point even trying to improve the quality of our base level tools, then honestly all I can say to such a battered spouse syndrome sufferer is that we're going to have to agree to disagree.
No, the inference accuracy of the image classifier is dependent on the model used and this is a demo of the code executing the model in a browser with GPU acceleration not the model itself. You can plug and play any model in the onnx format e.g. https://github.com/onnx/models. As a comparison, complaining about the "abysmal quality" of the dummy model on display here is like saying blender is bad 3d modeling software after opening it for the first time because all it models is a blank cube.

On the other hand, programmers are very expensive.

At some level of accuracy and consistency (human order-of-magnitude?), the pricing of the service should start approaching the pricing of the human alternative.

And first glance at numbers, LLMs are still way underpriced relative to humans.
PrinceXML is expensive but I feel it's worth the money. I've used it to layout several RPGs with Markdown source files and HTML and CSS for templates and styling. RPG layouts can be quite complex with stat blocks and the like and it's handled everything I've thrown at it.
This may explain the substantial performance increase in proprietary models over the last 6 months. It also may explain why open-air and others had to drop open models. Distributing copyrighted material via model weights would be problematic.

> What is a derivative” has feed millions of lawyer’s family’s, imo this type of broad interpretation does not belong in OSS

I am sorry but your view is dying out because it’s unrealistic.

Most things in life have grey areas, most things in life have legal concerns and liability attached.

Even the simplest possible things, like If you sell bicycles and someone breaks their neck, they could sue and there will be grey areas as to the bicycles’s quality. If you sell food and someone gets food poisoning, same thing.

The fact that software developers could make millions and never worry about law, is a giant privilege and it’s disappearing because software is no longer just for kittens and porn, it is now everywhere and it’s responsible for life and limb

How could that possibly get past EU antitrust regulators?

My Spotify subscription, for example, was purchased on their website, which I got to via a browser on my desktop computer. Apple has had no involvement whatsoever in my relationship with Spotify other than as a provider of some of the platforms on which I run Spotify's apps to use my Spotify service.

If Apple were to tell Spotify that Spotify must provide a way to cancel my totally outside of Apple Spotify subscription from Apple's subscription managements interface as a condition of being allowed on the App store I can't see the EU allowing that.
In my experience, your numbers are out for this particular example. It'd reduce it to at most a day. You're right that there's a few hours of faff at either end, though I don't believe it's nearly as long as you're cumulatively adding up. However, those things are dwarfed by the 24 hours of in-air time it currently takes (sure, 17.5 if you want to go to Perth). That time in the plane is death for me, as I cannot sleep sitting upright. It means I get off extra-fatigued and that multiplies my jetlag several-fold.

I agree completely with you that the faff at either end needs to reduce, and long-haul travel will always be a time sink, but I still think reducing the in-air duration for those ultra-long journeys would be huge. The faff getting better what with removing liquids limits and not needing to pull electronics out of carry-on. Check-in can sometimes be a pain, but I've found it to be fairly ok both within the UK and AU most of the time. Combining a few things together - BA's 23kg carry-on limit, removed liquids limits, online check-in with etickets - would go a long way to streamlining it. Combine those things with a reduced in-air duration to make it ~8-hour duration event and I think it'd be much more comfortable, more in line with flying east-coast to west-coast AU.

What would I pay for it, and would I opt for it over doing a layover in e.g. SEA if I had the spare time to do so? No idea, honestly.
I could only send one message, after that I had to add more credits to my account. I don't really think it's worth paying if I already get Gemini, chatGPT and Claude for free.
Through the late 90s and yearly 2000s I needed to purchase an expensive and slow emulator plus a Windows license just to do banking, taxes or accurately open some Office files. That's a monopoly.

If you buy an Android phone, you can use Uber, Instagram, Spotify, banking, maps, accurately render web pages, taxes, etc. There's nothing essential to modern mobile that's iOS only.

MS had ≈ 95% global market share back then, Apple has ≈ 30% of mobile market share now.

You may not like Apple's attitudes, but claiming they have a monopoly on mobile is comical.

Had the author presented her as, say, a socialist who started a workers cooperative, that criticism would be justified. But the author did not. It's perfectly valid to talk about "profit-sharing and company co-ownership" even if she didn't share the ownership evenly.
It's literally the definition of rent seeking and it's toxic to free market society.

We don't want your landlord to get a cut of every thing you buy in their apartment. We don't want them to get a cut of every service you order. We dont't want them to get a cut of every single thing you buy while living in that apartment.

We don't want those things for digital landlords either just because they deigned to put together some eletronics they were already paid for.
These examples are covered in high school level economics classes.

All it takes is one landlord to have a slightly different concern to change their strategy. They need money fast, so they drop the price to get a tenant, boom competition.
> No GPT5 = users go elsewhere.

You're not wrong, but most of the big players will take a while to switch, at least in my experience you have to put more effort into making sure your prompts result in what you want, and that's annoying especially if GPT4 is already working for you. Claude historically has really bad refusals for safe prompts.

Also, GPT4 is cheaper 10/30 $/m vs 15/75 $/m for claude 3 opus - I'm not sure that price hike is worth the _slight_ benchmark improvement.
