> Imho there is no winning strategy for Nethack. It's some random stuff "you need to know" to progress even a little bit paired with complete rule of the dice while encountering maximally nonsensical "puzzles".

In the training data for the LLMs there is probably a significant of information about Nethack already, I would think.

So with the right prompt perhaps it could play better than some people, if those people did not have any info about nethack and had not played it before.
Nice, actually I think the best target for this would be people that poweruse sheets and have some SQL knowledge. I see teams that eventually would develop tools or use data lakes etc instead of sheets, but as a first tool to quickly operate over the initial startup sheet drama I think it could be powerful :D

AGI has been Larry and Sergei's pipe dream since Google's inception. Now that we can make out the faint outline of something resembling AGI, we can also see clearly that Google can't handle the responsibility. I'm not sure anyone can.
$158,000 Drug Likely Doesn't Work. Why Was It Approved?
Google certainly has more compute density than Amazon, the numbers I was able to find from the local power company was 250MW at Council Bluffs back in 2015 or so.

Amazon builds out 32MW shells, and the most utilized as of 5 or 6 years ago was 24MW or so, with most being much less than that.
This is true! I'm not sure I 100% agree with your analogy, but your basic point is of course correct.
I'm not labeling "from lab" as "healthier". I'm arguing that "from nature without human intervention = healthier" is not automatic, but also not saying "in factory = better".

> Most people’s entire income is a single W2, and their payroll provider should be able to deduct the exact amount down to the penny.

People also like to get steady paychecks. In any progressive tax system, anyone who leaves a job mid-year would either mean everyone would have to have paychecks that varied or job changers would have a discrepancy at the end.

Having paychecks varying due to taxes would no doubt be spun by some as “theater to make you hate you taxes”.

Homeowners with mortgages probably don’t want to share those details with their employer, out of some combination of “it’s none of their business” and “could they use that information against me somehow?”

I get that filing taxes is annoying, but trying to set things up so my payroll department eliminates that seems the wrong path versus making the front door to the filing system easier to use.
Of course the rate of expansion is not constant; That's the whole deal with dark energy which is understood to drive accelerated expansion of space due to its negative pressure (when you make something with negative pressure larger in volume you have to do positive work on it or give it energy and that energy is dark energy).

But the Hubble tension is something else: It's about measurements of H0 (the current value of the Hubble parameter) using two different methods (early universe and CMB OR recent universe and supernovae, etc.) that do not agree. The disagreement is about two estimations of the current rate of expansion called H0; Everyone agrees H(t) has been increasing (=accelerating expansion); But accelerating toward which recession velocity is the question.

I’ll accept that. But do notation is the closest thing to sensible we have, whereas most of these articles are just constantly trying to chip away at part of the problem in the hope that they’ll be able to make the whole mountain disappear one stone at a time. And to date, I don’t find the evidence promising that they can.

I’m not wedded to stuff like monadic state, I think that might be a bridge too far for regular programming (and besides which, it doesn’t really generalise anyway) but that still leaves a large family of issues that we’re all aware of but trying to dodge.
I have done pricing for multiple AWS services and while many people may be against the per-call pricing model of AWS, I would recommend you do a detailed costing of your service first.

Start with initial assumptions, like amount of customer data eat and then base your calculations on how much data is being requested. You will also get a deep understanding of how your system scales and where the cost really lies. For example, even for a simple crud app running in AWS, you can pretty detailed on your costing. Like how much IO you will consume from RDS per million queries etc.

That will tell you what your margins can be.

Even your bread/pastry scenario doesn’t quite make this part clear. And this is what will be difficult to prove - did OpenAI know and discuss a rug-pull of “we willingly plan to say we’re going to be doing non-profit work, but actually our plan is to be a for-profit company”.

If their pivot was pre-meditated then I could see Musk having a case, but if they pivoted purely from market factors and realizing they wouldn’t be able to cut it as a non-profit, I’d think he’s SOL

> how humans interact, how users behave

I've seen pretty dramatic changes in both of those in the last 5 years. Human interaction seems to have become a lot shittier. Users' behaviour seems more entitled. How people behave and interact also differs quite a lot based on culture/geographic location.

Sure, at the end of the day we're all human with more or less the same wants and needs, but how we express them is neither uniform nor fixed.

From 9-5 to Tech Founder
Hey HN,

I’ve spent the past year+ developing a course aimed at a group I've noticed is underserved: non-technical founders looking to launch tech startups. It’s called "From 9-5 to Tech Founder – No Coding Skills Required," and it distills everything I learned from my 10 years career as a Software engineer for startups and Big Silicon Valley based companies.

The course is designed to take someone with a strong idea but little to no tech background from concept to launch. It covers:

Idea validation: Ensuring your idea solves a real problem.
MVP creation: Using no-code tools to build your first product.
Customer engagement: How to talk to users and iterate based on feedback.
Intro to tech: Basic coding principles to help you work effectively with developers.
Building and launching: Crafting landing pages, handling pre-orders, and more.
Given the depth of experience and insight in this community, I'd particularly value your feedback:

What are the biggest challenges you’ve seen non-technical founders face?
Any essential topics you think a course like this should cover?
For those interested, there’s a pre-order available https://wwwsubtledev.co.

Would love to hear your thoughts and answer any questions!
No kidding, I take the Paris metro and every time there's a "this line is delayed because a person fell/jumped on the tracks" notice, people around have the exact same sociopathic reaction. It's uncanny.

Not much to do with AI x-risk though.
Definitely -- but the problem isn't really "content" moderation. What it seems like you actually want is personality / tone / user moderation -- which Bluesky isn't really doing.

To analogize to real life, I have friends with whom I agree 100% on politics, but I never talk to them about it, because they're annoying when they do it. But I also have friends who disagree with me on political and other issues, but we have wonderful conversations because of the manner in which we disagree.

I don't what Bluesky is doing will actually help with this problem. For one thing, I think it's design as a "feed" basically precludes any solid sort of discussion (compared to an Internet forum). The medium kind of encourages the "one-off potshots" you mentioned, and moderation won't do much to cure it.

I could be wrong though!
The same argument based on the “Russia vs the global west” narrative can be leveled perfectly accurately against western-citizen maintained software.

Everyday Russian developers are no more or less involved in their country’s empire-building than everyday American developers are in theirs (lest we forget about the 12(!) foreign countries in which US forces are currently invading). “Russian” is not synonymous with “suspect”; or, if indeed it is, perhaps “American” should be, too.

As the parent comment said - but I was questioning about whether increased torque has an actual impact on tyre wear.
Ahh. In that case they are using the term JIT weirdly. Usually that means just in time compilation of script or byte code to machine code.
The AirTag comparison is interesting. AirTag tracking is clever and results in Apple not knowing the location or identity of either the AirTag or the phone reporting it. This relies on rotating keys that can be seen as random, or at least not identifiable.

But rain or other objective information? I suppose it works, maybe a bit like “limit IP address tracking” — cloudflare or other edge provider could mediate so Apple gets the data, knows it comes from an iPhone (to prevent bad data attacks), but Apple can’t tell what phone sent which data.

(the privacy concern being documentation of when you were inside/outside/etc).

It sounds like, perhaps, the moderators only label the content. Then it’s up to your own client (and how you configure it) to filter the content, based on those labels.

If I’ve got that right, then a client could be created that, e.g., displays labels from different moderators rather than filter the content. In fact, I’d guess most clients will have that mode.
Well if you are getting at the top, go for it. You will build more credibility and trust from top universities rather than working on some startup. If the startup happens to be like OAI, then choose that one. The rate you learn at startups is something else.

A good idea would be to try research in academia for 2 years, see if you like it not, then drop out with a Masters. If you are a citizen of the states, why not do both? Work at startup and pursue PhD as a hobby? Pretty sure you are capable of doing that.
> all mods will be working on all of the content. No subreddit-like boundaries to reduce the overlaps

Not necessarily, that's up to the moderator.

Today, I subscribe to the #LawSky and AppellateSky feeds because I am interested in legal issues. Sometimes these feeds have irrelevant material: either posts who happened to use the "" emoji for some non-legal reason or just people chatting about their political opinions on some legal case.

Someone could offer to label JUST the posts in these feeds with a "NotLegalTopic" tag and I would find that filter quite useful.

To the best of my knowledge, Finnish government hasn't made any attempts at interfering with software development built in Finland, or spying on software users. The same cannot be said of Russia.

It's worth going through that entire thread and Ctrl+F search userid "MZMegaZone" to get F5's rationale for assigning a CVE.

Why are some customers running experimental code in production?!? I can only assume they do it to solve a problem and take early advantage of a new feature that doesn't exist in the stable release.

I think the foundation models are a commodity, anyway. The bulk of the economic value, as usual, will be realized at the application layer. Building apps that use LLMs, including fine-tuning them for particular purposes, is well within reach even of indie/solo devs.

That’s why Sam Altman makes so much noise about “safety” - OpenAI would really like a government-backed monopoly position so they can charge higher rents and capture more of that value for themselves. Fortunately, I think that llama has already left the barn.

Because I was maintaining some IRC bots, I knew the IRC protocol quite well back in the days.

I remember when I was about 12 years old...

The school computers were quite limited in terms of software and it was just not viable to download or install mIRC during a class.

So I fired up the telnet application to connect to the IRC network everyone at school used. The computer lab prof. was not impressed... Next class she told me that if something happened to the machines, she knew who did it... lol

* granted, we used a lot of colors / decoration (ctrl + K on mIRC) and while I was able to demonstrate my abilities it was not much practical as it was just too damn hard to read the messages quick enough.
Yeah, the schema driven approach does really lend it to the world of LLMs. We've found that with minimal guidance LLMs can generate schemas, validate them and iterate if necessary.

What's great about this is that once you've got a valid schema you can then guarantee the correctness of the code downstream as well as it being very testable. This text-based abstraction makes it possible to generate a complete production-ready backend with AI rather than trying to get a LLM to write complete applications from scratch.
For Chromium-based browsers, an option is to use BrowZer (built on OpenZiti, Apache 2.0). Enables you to connect into a full mesh private network (mTLS, e2e encrypted, no TLS man in middle inspection). 3 examples below with well known apps. Disclosure, I work on the project.

MSFT RDP (video):https://youtu.be/1NMrxRIowog

Private network for Grafana (video):https://youtu.be/l5ktiI-j3eg

Private network for Plex (blog post)https://blog.openziti.io/its-a-zitiful-life

Basically you decide what 'app' you want to deliver via the overlay, e.g. Grafana, Plex, RDP. For those destinations, a (one time) bootstrapping process (invisible to end user) results in your browser receiving a <script> tag which includes some configuration when the browser attempts to connect to the destination (Grafana etc). This ultimately results in the browser downloading some JavaScript and WA, and registering a service worker (the wasm contains the PKI bits).

After successful auth, your browser can then open a websocket to your private OpenZiti overlay network (distributed, OpenZiti overlay network software routers, deployed where you want them), and ultimately hit the app (which no longer needs to listen to anything other than the overlay network; becomes private).

Desktop Chrome is the most tested, followed by Android Chrome.

> Because MacBooks are just better

I'm not sure how that implicitly conveys an opinion.

Saying "the sky is blue" is not an opinion when the sky is blue, it's a fact. Saying something is better is also not an opinion, it's a fact. Saying "in my opinion" or "I believe/think/feel like/etc" makes your statement an opinion, ommiting that is ambiguous and is left for interpretation.

Could not have said it better. Nobody has won the race yet and things are getting better. Building a foundation model is not cheap but not out of reach still for a startup.
