I don't follow that logic. If he thinks that the development of an AGI is inevitable, why would it make sense to be the first one to do it, when he also clearly thinks that its existence if a grave danger? What does it matter who does it first? The results are the same regardless.

If I thought that AGI was anywhere close to imminent (which I don't), then this perspective seems to me like it has a great risk of being a self-fulfilling prophecy. Why risk being the one to bring the bad thing into existence? Wouldn't it make more sense to let someone else be the bad guy and instead focus on defense?
Anyone who has had to administer anything user-facing will tell you that some users will ignore any warning. Updates need to be automatic and mandatory.

Linux doesn't have a dedicated team to make the desktop a smooth experience. I've tried it every couple of years for the last 20 years, and I always abandon the idea because it's so clunky.

My best solution now? Windows as my host machine and run Linux in the WSL. It's a real game changer. Much faster than a traditional VM. I get a good GUI and the power of Linux.
You are probably right, and now I wonder if this doesn't also apply to the standard Apple developer program.

I have not read the DMA but in the gatekeeper section of the official website the Core platform services listed are AppStore, iOS and Safari. Let's suppose that you single out iOs, why should I sign up something about AppStore to develop apps?

Duckdb seems pretty reasonable for embeddings, as there's a native vector type and you can insert it from a dataframe. For similarity, there's array_cosine and array_dot_product.
These things worked well when the internet was a toy.

Now it's no longer a good idea because that same browser is also:

This project seems pretty different to what you've proposed. Fructose looks like it's "just" asking an LLM to evaluate a function (written in English text), and then jamming whatever comes out back into your type system.

Being able to sometimes answer a given question is perhaps a first step to writing code that can answer that question reliably, but it's a long way from an LLM that does the former to one that does the latter.
A possible tie-in to this topic is this 1968 interview with Ralph Nader, discussing Unsafe at Any Speed, by Studs Terkel:

<https://studsterkel.wfmt.com/programs/ralph-nader-discusses-...> (Audio, 32:31).

Direct audio link: <https://s3.amazonaws.com/wfmt-studs-terkel/published/11364.m...> (MP3).

Nader covers a number of topics, including auto safety. Among the key points he makes is that (as of 1968), the contribution of the automobile itself to accidents was simply not legible, in the James C. Scott sense (Seeing Like a State), to the point that police accident report forms had no options for noting the contribution of the vehicle to the accident.

Built environment and highway design are another factor, of course, but the Nader interview came immediately to mind. I've listened to it several times, and it bears a few more listens as well.

(The Studs Terkel Archive itself is a true gem and recommended for those who enjoy podcasts.)
This attitude is a large part of what I find so repulsive about tech today. You are a guest on my machine. No matter how much you think you know better than me (even if you're right!), you don't get to make decisions like that. You can ask nicely, and if you can convince me that something needs to be done, I will decide to do it.

Hi, Type 1 diabetic here.

I can fast for days, my blood sugar does not go down.

On my last 4 day fast, my blood sugar stayed within about 20Mg/Dl.

And no, I cannot manage without my medical devices. Or are you telling me that I should fast for the entirety of police custody?
While there is usually some big case that then defines things like this, I'm worried whether any incidents of a person dying or developing life-threatening issues due their phone being confiscated will change much.

Consoles have managed to get special pleading in every law of this sort so far. It’s a Trumpian level of avoiding consequences.
Not really, no. Obviously a human can log in with his phone number for his bot, but he could do that with Worldcoin too.
>> but Apple has been making it crystal clear lately that they consider them to be their devices.

This is a great point. The thing that sucks is the market is down to two main phone companies - Apple and Samsung. Unless you're on a carrier where some of the import phones like Xiomi or ZTE work, we're all stuck between two companies who increasingly are abusing their positions in the market because they can.

Apple seems not to care any more about customer sentiment and does things more so for the bottom line than anything else right now. I guess that's what we should've expected when the guy who ran the supply side of the company with an iron fist gets promoted to CEO.
And what relevance does that have with memory bandwidth? Of course a faster SSD helps if you're swapping, but you said faster memory bandwidth is what's making the tiny amounts of RAM on modern Macs "not as bad"

If you had said "the fast SSDs make these tiny amounts of RAM not feel as bad" I would've agreed

a) No one has said that a US court ruling has jurisdiction over the EU. Developers have to sign seperate contracts in the countries that their apps are being sold in.

b) Epic's actions e.g. pushing hidden IAP features were a fundamental breach of the contract in all countries where it was signed including EU. It was never about Epic criticising Apple.

c) Apple takes the first move in terminating the contract. Then Epic sues. And then the EU legal system will settle the matter. That is the process.
Yeah, that's the point. It was spot on.

It's also rare for a doctor to tell a person they are too fat and to lose weight. The assumption (and most cost effective solution) is that patients just want a prescription for something and be sent on their way.

Not super constructive either, the beauty of having things like HN is to be able to discuss ideas, rather than just point to them as wrong.

At least a couple of counterpoints on why this would be a bad idea and offer a better approach.
I'd recommend looking at P/S, Gross Margin and Operating Margins. They're more robust measurement tools than P/E and Net Margin, because – unlike Net Income (Earnings) – Revenue, Cost of Revenue and Operating Expenses are not accounting magic.

Today, Apple trades at 6.94 Price/TTM Sales per Share. P&G trades at 4.7.

Apple's TTM Gross Margin and TTM Operating Margins are 45% and 30.7%.

P&G's are 50% and 22%.

Apple's TTM Operating Margin is 1.395x of P&G's, and their P/S is 1.476x of P&G. This is the explanatory variable for the higher P/S – higher operating efficiency. Which makes sense because their blend of revenue includes services and insurance, not just high-margin physical products.

IDK the point you're trying to make, because these companies have essentially the same multiples today. Apple's market cap is higher because their TTM revenue is $386B and P&G's is $84B. But their key ratios are not so far apart.

I wrote all this up to show you the perils of P/E comparisons... before realizing that Apple and P&G actually have essentially identical P/E valuations (~26-27). In this instance, there's not a lot of peril, because they're both in a similar phase of corporate life: operating as late-stage growth companies surfing the wave separating innovation from profit-maximization for as long as they can – where generating income is important (so net income is not hovering around zero) but not the end-all/be-all (there're still expectations of YoY revenue growth).

Besides, Apple's customer and revenue composition is also not at all static, and you'd understand this if you read their earnings reports. They are not a dam that's waiting to burst, in spite of some people willing them to be. On the contrary, they've never been stickier or more mass-market than they are today.

Ask HN: Does ChatGPT-4 have 128K context window or is it just for the API?
GPT-4-Turbo has 128K context window. I was wondering if that is just available on the API, or whether the ChatGPT-4 app also has that much context window.

Given that Claude 3 now has 200K, I'm also interested to know if Anthro is offering that only to API.
All Hamas has to do is issue uniforms for fighters. Israel would probably even voluntarily foot the cost. But Hamas won't do it because of how much leverage civilians getting killed gets them.
I stopped my ChatGPT subscription with the free 2 months and finding it useful enough, but just ended up signing up for Claude with that out of curiosity. I still think ChatGPT is a little more reliable for what I use them for but fairly confident long term Gemini will be better so probably not going to sign back up
Wondering how this affects Apple employees. Back in the day, working for Apple seemed cool. (Pirate flags on building etc).

Previously MSFT used to be (maybe they've turned that around?) the most hated tech company (becz of their very aggressive attitudes to competitors especially Netscape).

One thing they didn't FU and is represented by the infamous sweaty Balmer video [0] of him shouting "Developers, developers, developers", is pissing of people who build on their platform.

Well Apple seems to have topped that with this and other malicious compliance shenanigans in the EU.

I can't every imagine developing an iOS/native app on that platform going forward.

It's worth taking a second to note that the author just assumes that readers understand "the wilderness" to mean "not Google".

This post gives a lot of credit to Google's infra and hardware teams, and I'd love to read a perspective from one of those insiders who then went on to do related work elsewhere.
Kudos on launching it, I will be trying in a few meetings to see if it goes well, so far I am finding the UI unresponsive, I click and it marks an action item as completed (optimistic update) then it reverts back to unchecked (failed). I asked the assistant what Synergy meant and it just hanged.
I liked the use of a fake meeting as an introduction to the product and the action items as an onboarding checklist, I like that you launched with a delete my account as well, most startups take a long time before implementing the exit path.

Actual research [1] says that just taking a photo of everything you eat helps awareness of food choices and portion sizes, which should contribute to healthier diets. Anecdotally, for me, just writing down everything I eat (without even counting calories) helps me avoid unnecessary eating.
Also there's not much practical defense to an unscrupulous extension author "exiting" with an under-the-table password transfer or "oops we got hacked" to a shady buyer.

<tinfoil hat> One could imagine a nefarious state actor offering the author of e.g. uBlock $XX million to get access to a lot of browsers. Not sure about the economics, but more niche extensions could probably be targeted for a lot cheaper.

> All in all, this is only a small part of the story of how we started a company, raised some money, bought some chips and matched Gemini pro/GPT 3.5 and outperformed many others in less than a year having to build everything from scratch.

I wonder what was the budget spent for the chips/cloud GPUs to achieve GPT 3.5 level LLM - at least in the order to magnitude - 2-5 millions?
There are other options.

I switched last year to a slightly older Android phone running Graphene OS and have been using that but have realized there are drawbacks to doing that.

Depending on what carrier you have, you can also check out some of the other Chinese imports that are competing well with Samsung and Apple. A lot of people I know are just using a personal cloud storage with their phones and just offloading their stuff there which is pretty easy to set up. Hell, even Microsoft OneDrive is easy to set up syncing with. iCloud is just one solution for backup and storage these days.
This is really useful, although, as another commenter said, this should be a built-in feature.

A question I got regarding this extension, as I didn't take a deep dive into the source code yet: Does it automatically notify you (not necessary in real-time but at least in startup) of ownership change or you need to manually trigger a check command?

A few months ago, a story on this topic was trending:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36233068

From the top comment of the above story:

"I think it would behoove Firefox and Chrome to change their policies around automatic extension upgrades in these scenarios: if an extension discloses a change in ownership, then upgrades should require user approval. If an extension fails to disclose a change in ownership, then users should be able to report it as malicious."

As a side note, probably the title should be prefixed by "Show HN"
The rules of war are completely out the door when one side routinely pretends to be civilian, which is a war crime.

Yeah but something has to happen. It's just idiocy to think that users will subscribe to every publication they visit a handful of times per month. There must be some way to make this happen.

I never liked the way he used TCP as an example here.

I don't think it's sensible to think of "make it reliable" as a process of abstraction or simplification (it's obviously not possible to build a reliable connection on top of IP if by "reliable" you mean "will never fail"). "You might have to cope with a TCP connection failing" doesn't seem to be the same sort of thing as his other examples of leaky abstractions.

TCP's abstraction is more like "I'll either give you a reliable connection or a clean error". And that one certainly does leak. He could have talked about how the checksum might fail to be sufficient, or how sometimes you have to care about packet boundaries, or how sometimes it might run incredibly slowly without actually failing.

Consider this:

What if your date finds you attractive already? Could be because of real or perceived popularity or high "status" in you? (I'm guessing you're a man?) And maybe you're ok handsome?

Then, what does it matter what you do during the days?

If you're high status enough already -- what do the reasons for that matter?

And so she'd rather talk about herself and her interests.

When you mentioned you tried a second date, I thought, I bet she'll show up.

To be fair these aren't exactly the most relevant examples. On paper the balance of power economically (and military to a somewhat lesser degree) is certainly on the side of the EU/NATO. It would be relative pretty cheap to invest enough just to deter a second rate country (besides nukes) like Russia.

Weird thought here but maybe the distributor of chrome extensions should not allow one extension to change owner? Doesn't make sense to me.

I don't use chrome though. I wonder how Firefox handles it.

>And now I'm working with LLMs, the most opaque abstraction of them all!

You put a black box around it to fit it into the world of abstractions that traditional programs live in.

But I'd say the most interesting thing about neural networks is that they do not have any abstractions within them. They're programs, but programs created by an optimization algorithm just turning knobs to minimize the loss.

This creates very different kinds of programs - large, data-driven programs that can integrate huge amounts of information into their construction. It's a whole new domain with very different properties than traditional software built out of stacked abstractions.
Do you believe the rare cases of fraud like this mean that we should stop referring to Theodore Geisel as Dr. Seuss and to Andre Young as Dr. Dre?

It'd be neat if there was a way to install an extension from git, including getting notified of updates and an easy way to install said updates. The current UX around installing extensions "out-of-band" is poor (in both firefox and chrome), I wonder what it'd take to improve things.
