I am not sure you appreciate the scope of distrusting submissions. Does this mean the reviewer has to clean-slate replicate everything? What if the author spent three years breeding a particular mouse model? Purified 8pg of an antibody extracted from flea tears? Spent six months of HPC time to simulate molecular dynamics? Some science is hard and incredibly difficult and expensive to do.

Even just reevaluating a submitted dataset is no guarantee. Someone committing an elaborate fraud could have faked the raw datasets as well.
I remember sitting on the front row of a conference where Yugo was presenting and watching all the other Flash experts lose their minds as he ran through his demos.

It's a government report, created by the government for the government. Of course it's going to be more comprehensive than three lines, that's how government reports work. It's supposed to be comprehensive. But its conclusion seems to be as unequivocal a denial of the UFO narrative as is possible:

To date, AARO has not discovered any empirical evidence that any sighting of a UAP
represented off-world technology or the existence a classified program that had not been
properly reported to Congress. Investigative efforts determined that most sightings were the
result of misidentification of ordinary objects and phenomena. Although many UAP reports
remain unsolved, AARO assesses that if additional, quality data were available, most of these
cases also could be identified and resolved as ordinary objects or phenomena.

They looked at all of the cases and all of the data that UFO advocates swore would provide irrefutable proof... and found nothing remarkable, and no reason to assume anything remarkable was likely given the margin of error and uncertainty. Maybe you won't believe that unless they keep looking until they come to the only conclusion you consider acceptable, but for most people this report and it's conclusions are unambiguous.
I think you're confusing dang with someone else. dang is actually Da Ng, a Malaysian Chinese hacker extraordinare
Wondering if QOA would work for the audio? https://qoaformat.org/ it's a pretty small implementation with decent compression, but not sure if it'd work in those constraints

(I'm guessing not. QOA's format includes 128 bytes of lms_state per channel even before it comes to the samples; way too big)
My comment was more about the influence of Louis on media in general (in this case HN) and less of a critique of the topic in question.

Why are you strawmaning?

The fact that I made this comment the same day he released his video in fact means I actively follow him and his mission.
Once you have identified a group of proven dupes, why wouldn't you keep ripping them off?
Elon, at some point in the past, would have been embarrassed to sell this product at this price. That it shipped feels indicative of how bent he’s gotten.
If you want cheap, but non-performant, there are AMD R-series like found in Dell/Wyse thin clients. They're pretty weak machines though 2-4 cores, but support ECC DDR3 single channel.
I don't make that stuff, I'm not making any assumptions.

But considering the state of discussion on the internet, I wonder how many takers you might get. Do / say something unpopular and you're just signing up for abuse online, heck even if you don't do anything. HN is better places than most but recently (not on HN) I got down-voted in a discussion where I said I didn't mind the neighbor kids running through my yard, and some folks stopped to e-yell at me how terrible it is ...

I'm more riffing off of a "Can we even have these conversations?" kinda question here, but I am interested if anyone would take you up on your offer if only because of the lay of the internet land.
"... Daddy? What does regret mean?"

"Well, son, a funny thing about regret is: it's better to regret something you have done, than to regret something you haven't done. Oh by the way, if you see your mom this weekend, would you be sure and tell her... SATAN SATAN SATAN"

>Living in Scotland and sampling your data there, concludes that all humans are white, along with having two eyes.

So? I also conclude that most humans have two legs and 10 fingers and a head, and two ears and skin and hair. We gonna dismiss all of that because the data is just anecdotal?

>The plural of anecdote is not data!

The plural of anecdote is anecdotes (with an s) the adjective form of anecdote, is "anecdotal" as in "anecdotal" data.
Peek-a-boo is a game. Jump rope is a game. An interactive storyboard is definitely also a game.

> Apple knows their rules are so unpopular

Are they? I know developers don’t like the rules, but I don’t know a lot of iPhone owners who feel particularly stifled by them. If they did, presumably they’d just buy an Android phone?
> the green spaces probably don't need irrigation

Truly they don't, but even inside Medellin the precipitation rates are not as great as the lands around...

...because of the deforestation that /already/ happened, say, 50 years ago...

Ain't no commercial high rise neighborhood (semi-common in Medellin) that can "pull in" as much precipitation as a virgin forest no way, and you can see this if you visit there and then you visit an actual virgin rain-forest...

...but of course, this is what they are trying to alleviate and if the outskirts of the city are super-green it can help...

Btw all of the outskirts aren't super green but a lot of them are...
IMO this article seems to me like a wishfull thinking instead of have anything to do with the reality. Just because we have closed eyes, doesn't mean things are not cooking on the other hand. Just google "agi in china" , and you will see what efforts are being put forth by the government over there.
Regarding GPU restrictions, new tech to by pass GPU(or atlest require lesser GPU) are on its way.
I’ve often wondered about the reverse. Get the finest grand piano action, like the ones used in the Fazioli, and create a minimal mechanical unit that has just that piece and the pedals (with the action mechanics that connect the left/right pedals to the keys) and then nothing else but a couple of sensors and a couple fast USB-C. The Kawai Novus series did an OK action and left pedal, but then they connect it to a whole furniture and their sound synthesis and vibrations are imperfect. With modern powerful GPU the sound should be possible to become near perfect and easy to tune to one’s preference.
If you're young and holding long term I don't think it will matter which one - they both have great futures imho
This is how the online casinos do it in my state. They require location access on mobile or a dedicated download for desktop.

I recently spent a bit of time trying to bypass the location check (out of curiosity) and they have it pretty locked down.

The key is they require WiFi to be on so they can get around GPS spoofing.

I had even attempted re-creating all the SSIDs and other networks nearby my spoofed location but the existing networks near my real location were reducing the confidence and still getting me flagged.

One thing I learned during this was how complicit browser manufactures are in providing this information. There is no way to enable location services but disable WiFi triangulation in any mainstream browser. If you disable location permissions websites can just outright block you.

End solution was just a remote KVM setup but not exactly what I wanted.

Normally I would agree.
But there are also very heavy regulations around selling telecoms devices with hard requirements for things like interacting with emergency services, regs that do not apply to general electronics.

Similar also applies to medical devices.

Its the product in its entirety that gets certified as suitable for sale and warrentied against, for example, repeatedly dialing 911 in a fault condition and getting you shot by a swot team.
> Sarcasm and ill tone is fine when you use it, but not when I respond to it in kind.

Not at all. Use all the sarcasm you want; I'm a big boy and I can handle it.

And I'm not denying I used some unnecessary sarcasm myself.

But you said, "So far, the only people in this thread replying with vitriol are you and jerf." And I just wanted to make you aware that that's not quite correct.

You're not the innocent victim in this conversation that you think you are.
I agree with you in principle but the reality is that most Universities and research organisations are extremely political. If you challenge the beliefs of the scientists in charge, your funding and support will often be cut. The history of “Nutritional science” is a great example of how bad it can get when money and politics overrules basic science.
>Or perhaps really well trained AI?

We are really not there yet.

Not to mention the fact that he's been pouring through video archives to do his research, and finding the information needed for research is a big part of the work he's been doing (it's not available as readily as one would hope).
the criticisms are that other people have different positions on those questions; it should hardly be surprising that people with conflicting positions on questions like the correct standards of right and wrong will criticize one another

oh and also some bad people are effective altruists, which is something everyone agrees on, including the other effective altruists
Apple has been known to abuse their users like this for over a decade. Still somehow they're huge, they have a loyal fanbase of people that make excuses for it to justify their conspicuous consumption. They know it, so they do what they want.

iPhone demand has reached a plateau, they need the service revenue to keep growing.
> In Australia they can revoke the "Motorola warranty" all they want. However, everything sold comes with a warranty that can't be revoked which entitles you to repair, replacement or refund for a reasonable time frame (yes it's intentionally open ended).

Can you sell your warranty rights? For example let's say I've sold you something and later I offer you 150 AU$ to buy back your warranty rights. You decide that is worth way more than the warranty is worth to you and accept. Does this work?
I would be preparing to sell some not all of crypto right now if I were you.

But this is absolutely the wrong time to buy into crypto and stocks, especially when they are at near all time highs.

When a magnificent surprise crash comes along just like what happened at the start of 2022, then I would be buying again.
While it doesn't look like the version sold and $3,000 is kinda nuts, the actual version does look a lot more usable than the better looking mockup.
… how? If I click download the epic game store and it says “No” then it has been told my location

Edit: I suppose technically it could be a client level rejection and the App Store says “idk what went wrong”

Yes, my point is that move seems so self-evidently bad --- it was against the interests of most of the employees there, Sam and Greg had huge amounts of leverage, etc --- that it makes the board seem more sus to me than Sam.

Hey NYT I hope you’ll enjoy my game called QWERTL https://qwertl.com

Or my other game https://redactle.net which sounds ever so similar to wordle so you had better send your lawyers.

Or what about https://memorycardsgame.com - I mean it has a grid layout so surely that must be copyrighted too.

I will file any complaints into my computers /dev/null disk.

>Maybe the bar is just set super low?

Or maybe it isn't, and this person is a rare savant?

The article presents a very clear case that it's the latter, but I guess it's much easier for some to dismiss an entire field as inept than to accept that there's a 20-year-old savant somewhere in the UK.

>And isn’t this just normal twitter use?

From the article: no.

Well, you can't really exclude the RAM difference, not for an LLM.
It's not whether Apple will, it's the other developers that you might not have a choice to interact with. Sure, in the tech space, we're all imagining the great open source on iOS revolution. Gamers are anticipating their Fortnite.

And I'm sure Facebook is anticipating not having to ask for permission to hoover up all your personal data. Sure you don't need facebook, but if you want to be using WhatsApp to communicate with your friends and family, you might not have a choice. Shady companies that sell shady spyware to schools "for the children" are looking forward to a much easier time rolling out the most invasive ideas they have. The ad companies are I'm sure salivating over telemetry libraries with extra detailed modes for non-Apple app store installations.
Neat!

I'm curious, and maybe a bit cynical, but do you handle explicit things? Since kids could be one of the largest audiences, I'm just always interested in hearing about whether people prepare for users creating explicit content given there's a home/explore feed of games.
This most probably violates Cyber Resilience Act by intentionally making their customers vulnerable to prevent security updates.
The "loot" here was compensation for the OpenAI employees actually doing the work, and they took it from a board that was doing... none of that work.
all US border security is theatre. ports are part of it any malevolent (smart, resourced) actor who wants to move people or items in or out has obvious ways to do it
Great, so now there will be zero accountability once they drone schools and hospitals, just blame it on an AI hallucination.. truly satanic behavior.
I don't care for companies dictating what can and cannot be done with MY property. I may not agree with certain decisions the OEM made on how things operate, and I should be able to change them to fit my needs. If I physically destroy the device by whatever I do to it, then I don't expect warrantee service (but this should not be possible by changing the software alone, or it's a design flaw the OEM should be held accountable for). Otherwise, I should be able to customize my device to my needs and desires without losing coverage for a faulty device, just like we've been able to do to PCs for decades. Never mind the environmental concerns of being forced to trash a device because the OEM won't provide what's necessary to resuscitate it should something go wrong. Providing basic information and software necessary to do so is simply the right thing to do.
A lot of people can't use anything other than Windows because of compatibility issue with their work software...etc. I don't think anyone's forced to use iPhone.
> I don't understand why they are doing this

Billions and billions of dollars, that's why.
platforms created by private companies can do whatever they want on them. They are only subject to standards that are set by themselves. You honestly don't think FB, Insta, and Snap censor content or have rules around whats acceptable to post ?
Yep! His name is Daniel Gackle, here is a 10 year old YN blog from pg introducing him and others:

Look's like its almost 10 years since he officially joined full-time. We should have a party.
Furthermore, both have AI, e.g. creating photos, but only one of those runs Gemini Nano.

Which, to be clear, launched after both phones were released anyway.
Agreed, though that certainly _feels_ orthogonal to unlocking the bootloader? If I modify the hardware some other way (a la a modchip) and achieve the same thing, it'd be illegal for the same reasons.
no I read it, and its all xeno rhetoric
Is qualcomm capable of doing a flsgship cpu/gpu without overheating and high power usage?
I once tripped with a guy that took 4x200. Best part was, he was meant to be the trip sitter.

The most I’ve ever taken would be around 125 and that was starting to push it.
I've previously used PianoVision, and it worked quite well. The concept seems similar, now augmented with VR. I anticipate that VR pianos will evolve to such an extent that they'll replace traditional pianos in many scenarios (like teaching/learning)

At first the Apps store rules provided an advantage to the Apple ecosystem though. And there are still some advantages that keep people in the ecosystem for now. But Apple needs to evolve their offering.

Yes I always dreamed of uploading my passport and proof of residence to use a phone..
At what point is it just a lie and illegal? I feel like this is at that point.
It’s the exact opposite in my experience. Google photos automatically sorting and searching my photos is awesome. I love that convenience.

AI generated slop used to create SEO spam, adverts, and usually incorrect answers is what I and many have become tired of.

AI tech is best when it’s invisible. No one cares if their AirPods are using AI tech for advanced audio processing, they just care that the product seems to work better than the others. What people are sick of is AI support chatbots that are useless, AI generated spam, fake political images, and tech companies trying to tell you that their useless AI product is going to change the world.
I believe that intelligence is not the same as being smart. Intelligence (what we measure with IQ tests) is basically just a measurement of your ability to think abstractly. And yes being able to think abstractly is an excellent skill to have! Especially when working in math/physics/engineering/programming. However the world is full of high IQ people who make non-smart decisions every single day.
You can query a SQLite DB entirely client side over HTTP: https://github.com/proofrock/ws4sqlite

The pre-processed data would have to be served from somewhere though. I'm not sure if GitHub could be used to host.

If not, Scaleway Stardust includes a bit of disk, 75GB free S3-compatible storage, and most importantly: free 100mbps outbound data transfer for < $4/month.

There are probably other cheap shared web hosts that claim unlimited data transfer but not sure they'll deliver.
This is what I understood the first-sale doctrine to be as well. Turns out there's a whole separate section for trademark law:

Does that prevent you re-selling a device with an unlocked bootloader if you clearly indicate that it is unlocked? Probably not, but it's more complicated than I thought at first glance.
That is greed, everyone who works for OpenAI already had a ton of money since they pay so much, demanding more at the cost of the non-profit mission is greed.

I am fine with people being greedy, but don't say it isn't greed.
Why not make rules for the apps which generate "billions of dollars"? Constrain those apps via special APIs subject to Apple policy. Why stop at 30% extortion, go for more. Leave the rest of apps alone, until a new billion dollar category appears, then it can get the same mafia treatment.

This is Platform Sherlocking 101. Let new crops grow before demanding a cut. Don't scare everyone from farming.
I will just thinkpad, and if I ever needed I will ssh into my server/station, I think that’s the best combo
Considering all the talk about AI risks, talk which has been put out by Altman and the others involved in this as much as anyone, I would say "good" would mean people who can be trusted to be responsible stewards of such a potentially risky technology. At the very least, that would mean people who (a) can act like mature adults, and (b) have a healthy amount of humility. I don't see either of those characteristics in any of the people involved in all this.
>You aren't "programming the presentation logic", you're configuring the browser.

Under-appreciation of frontend skills in action. Do you think of "presentation logic" as an oxymoron?

I think many people can't see HTML, CSS and even SQL of backend land as programming languages, because they don't think declarative Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) count, don't think of their specificity and limitations as design strengths, and because each one is super easy learn to start but the rest of the enormous iceberg is so often ignored.
Ozempic side effects: may cause unwanted power
We've got a technical post with all the juicy details coming next week. But that bit refers to packing the 4-bit weights into a type FSDP is happy to shard (like float16 or float32) which matches the other non-quantized bits of the model. This way FSDP will happily wrap and shard all the parameters as if they were just normal floats.
Except that isn’t what will happen.

We are already plagued by spending that is funded by deficits and not new taxes. Why? Because one of those things is MUCH easier than the other. Easy to agree to spend money, difficult or impossible to add new taxes.

This is exactly why MMT has stopped being a thing. The pandemic Federal spending deficit ballooned, contributed greatly to inflation and was not met with increased taxation like MMT said would happen. Whoops…

Academic arguments always sound great then reality hits them hard.
I know Plex isn't to everyone's cup of tea (I've created a Jellyfin VM, but haven't tweaked it to direct play most of my content), but since it got an Apple TV client, I've rarely turned on my Roku (I have an Ultra 4 in the entertainment center, and a Streambar in both my office and the guest bedroom).
Yes, even compared to 2 years ago...

But the prices of "nationally-distributed" "things" (e.g. laundry detergent right?) pretty much adheres to the national trend...

...however rent in Medellín has gone up in these past 2 years too, like in some places it has gone up to double, gotta account for inflation (in USD terms you know) too but still...
> I am not sure you appreciate the scope of distrusting submissions.

What you're saying is, the first option I gave, to fix the peer review process so it is a good indicator of the reliability of research, is not feasible.

If that's the case, that just means we have to pick the second option: stop treating peer reviewed research as if it is reliable.
Thanks for the pointer, I just downloaded the app. What is the name of the layer showing property boundaries for free? I can see the “Private Land (US)” but it’s prompting me to sign up for premium when I click on it.
