I thought this was already obvious.

It's all just about the awareness of contexts. Want to improve it? Simply add a term to the prompt to unlock more considerations. Assuming we've not reached the edge of the context window, every new word "unlocks" new vectors with more context the language models adds to the considerations.

The similarity with how the human brain (seems to) works is so remarkable, it doesn't even make sense not to use it as an analogue for how to better use language models.

When the results (same way of manipulating an LLM as manipulating a human brain ... using the right words) can be achieved the same way, why believe there's a difference?

This is stuff one can learn over time by using/researching 3B models. While most people seem to shun them, some of them are extremely powerfull, like the "old" orca mini 3B. I am still using that one! All they really need is better prompts and that approach works perfectly fine.

The biggest hurdle I've found is the usually small context window of such small models, but there's ways of cheating around that without sacrificing too much of the quality using small rope extension, summarizing text, adding context words or leaving out letters of words in the prompt, virtually increasing the size of the context window.

If you want to improve the results of your language model, you should become a mentalist/con-man/magician/social engineer. It sounds weird, but it works!
I think that's spot on - what annoys me with some older Greeks is a fairly consistent 'look at our amazing history' attitude, as if they're ancestors of Gods. But then the actual culture is deeply rooted in Greek orthodoxy, driven by entirely different values, mostly pretty conservative. In reality, many older Greeks know relatively little about their own ancient history, or they focus on very specific aspects of it. Even though it's actually so colorful and full of human conflict and complexities.

I believe it's important for the country to look beyond that history. Not saying one shouldn't be inspired by it, almost everyone in the West is somewhat inspired by it anyway. This is a piece of humanity that played out on the same geographical area as modern-day Greece with a somewhat similar language, but it's long gone.

And I totally agree regarding conscription - if it were some sort of useful exercise for 6 months or so, one could probably make sense of it, but as it stands currently, it's a total waste of time.
Having tens of thousands of photos in Immich, I am surprised how accurate the model is. It rarely gets it wrong and when it gets it wrong, it usually happens with similar baby faces of close relatives.

Is it significant that the renderer is open-source when you need their paid products to create content for it?
There are, roughly speaking, two types of countries when it comes to names. One kind (like the UK) where you decide on your name and the government has to comply with it (after minimal paperwork and minimal expense). And the other kind (where I live) where your name is more or less set in stone after your birth, where it is subject to the whims of the approving official, where it is difficult and expensive to change at best, and sometimes impossible to change.

I'll refrain from going off on a naming tangent, but that stuff is wild.
Don‘t they say that imitation is the greatest form of flattery? :-)

I get your point – I just feel like there’s not a lot of potential economic improvement to be had here, but apparently there is.
>unambiguously legalize reverse engineering and circumvention

That'll never happen. It basically opens the door for all kinds of malicious activity that can go unpunished. From Malware to distributing decryption mechanisms for sensitive information. It's pretty important for some of that stuff to be stopped at its root.

> How is this a threat to their business?

One reason is that playing the emulated version is a better experience. Why would you play Breath of the Wild at 900p/30fps, when you can play it at 4k/60fps AND have all the customizability of running it on a PC.

Emulators illustrate that Nintendo forces you to buy an outdated tablet to play an intentionally hamstrung version of their game, so that once you are bought in to the hardware, you are more likely to buy more of their games.
I lost any trust in that ranking after I saw Germany on place 4... Bureaucracy is extreme and some things that you could do in hours in other countries may take months or even years in Germany. Average tax rate is also second-highest among all OECD countries. Energy prices are extremely high (3x higher than in the US) and labour costs are high. There are also many other problems with Germany if you want to do business there.
Also worth noting is that tiel fellows does not scale.

Gitlab has just told the world that they disable the accounts of people who contribute to a repository which receives a DMCA. You just need to send a reasonably complete DMCA takedown request to get the accounts of the contributors blocked and the repository removed. It doesn't have to be legitimate or even mention what content violates someone's intellectual property, who owns it or how it's actually violated.
100% agree. Lots of other things need to be in a good healthy state for OKRs to be useful.

Some of these are cultural such as it being safe to give feedback and a propensity to act on what is learnt.

This maybe sounds smart until you take a few seconds and notice the crazy amount of work these companies put into doing the exact opposite of your premise: preventing you from installing alternative operating systems and preventing you from using alternative marketplaces. When Apple claims they have to do extra work to make their devices support alternatives that is them lying to you and you are apparently eating it up :/.
It is significantly less complex yet without compromising anything. This means a larger portion of a chip's design effort can be put elsewhere such as into preventing side channel attacks.

According to IMDB, the show is rated "TV-MA", so not really "aimed at younger viewers"

Sure, I hear that argument. That is why zrok (zrok.io) and OpenZiti (CloudZiti) have SaaS services so that the hosting is outsourced to specialists.
That is not how paging works. The swap area is also a cache in every sense of the word. And the kernel will swap out pages that clearly are accessed less frequently than another page, even if that page is the buffer cache. When used like that, swapping is a way of getting more disk cache.

Generally speaking, systems do not swap out pages only under memory pressure. That design would be ineffective. When memory pressure is high enough, you've already lost.

You realise of course that models can be wrong. The map is not the terrain. Models are not reality. The observations here are on models.

If I knock up something in excel, and other people use that thinking it is how things are, but do not refer to the reality the model represents because there is no way to do that, how useful is the model?

Have you ever looked at old medieval beastiaries? Information is being relayed, but how useful is it?

https://alexanderadamsart.wordpress.com/2019/07/30/the-besti...

Without a means to view the underlying thing the model is meant to represent, to check and correct one's misunderstandings, how useful can the model be?
Achievable and valuable definitely more valuable than hard. I do suggest it's healthy not to 100% know how you might achieve the goal over the period - its good to be open to options and look for evidence you are making progress. I think this is different than trying for a moonshot every quarter :)
I am interested though. Thanks for sharing.

Like others have said, the 42 character limit is a bit of a sweet spot that I've found where basically everything is spam.

I do take a look at strings under 42 characters but have to take a bit of a manual approach there as natural repeated strings start breaking through.
Is there a hosted service of Immich? I'm keen to try it but really don't want the faff of self hosting (happy to pay!).
I can believe that, but revenue may not be the only thing the author cares (not saying it is the case for Nintendo or any large companies, but in general).

I subscribe to Patreon artists frequently. Lots of them, especially Japanese artists, have expressed that they hate piracy (i.e. repost their paid rewards on interweb) simply because it's (in their opinion) wrong. They're fully aware people who pirate is unlikely to pay a single penny regardless, or that piracy actually increases their "exposure".

At the end of the day, in my opinion it's right holder's call, regardless if their decision is based on emotion or rationale.
Pay because it’s inexpensive and you are supporting the development of a platform that brings joy to a lot of people (including children). It’s hosted (splore for finding games), a community forum is maintained and is a wealth of knowledge. It’s a hub for learning. Paying for pico-8 is like donating to Wikipedia. Basically, you are putting a few dollars towards a “good thing”.
>Very few people are willing to change because they have their own network of people who have decided on their preference.

This sounds radical, but: why can't people just use multiple apps? That was the whole marketing scheme for smartphones and yet we decide to corral back into the same little gates as 20 years ago. I have Whatsapp, Discord, regular messages, facebook messages, and probably 3 other stupid abandoned Senior Engineer Google promotion fodder on my phone. Hell, I'll answer of LinkedIn if you so incline. it's not like they don't all just flow onto my notification bar anyway.

And I guess since it's an inevitable question: I'm a 30YO single male. of course I don't have large friend group chats; We barely have friends that aren't busy with their SO's. on the one off per year we need to coordinate we'll pick and choose a platform.

I even own a Switch and a bunch of games and I still emulate it on my PC instead because the experience is so much better. Meanwhile, the Switch is the most successful console of this generation.

It simply isn't a threat to their business in any way. Also, that argument leads to a lot of insane consequences once you start arguing that you're not allowed to do things because they're vaguely, potentially a threat to a company.

Who validates the ”correctness” or ”validity” of the DMCA notice?
i had never pirated/emulated switch games before but after this all settles down and a switch emulator exists for more than a day, i certainly will now.
You must be in some kind of bubble, even half the technical people I know are not regular BitTorrent users.

Take pirated switch games for example, the root cause of this whole discussion. For a given game, you'll find 10 sketchy but fully functional direct-download sites before you find a magnet link. (Yes I'm sure your favorite private tracker has a great selection, but private tracker users are an even smaller niche within a niche)
Should this be judged against Apple, nothing prevents Apple from maintaining their walled garden, and nothing prevents you from staying in it. It's more freedom, not less.
I don't decide WPT policies (and I honestly don't know who does), but I'm pretty sure using a build script would be right out, as WPT is deeply embedded in a lot of other projects. E.g., if you made a build script, you would need to add support for running that script in Blink and in Gecko and in WebKit, and their multiple different runners, and probably also various CI systems.

As for the second option, I don't actually know. If it becomes 10x as long, I would assume you get a no for maintainability and readability reasons. If it's 20% longer and becomes no less clear, I'd say give it a try with a couple tests first? It's possible that the WPT would be interested in expanding its scope to a wider web platform than just browsers. You would probably never get people to stop writing JS-dependent tests, though, so you would need to effectively maintain this yourself.

Of course, for a bunch of tests you really can't do without <script>, given that a lot of functionality is either _about_ scripting support (e.g. CSSOM), intimately tied to it (e.g. invalidation) or will be tested only rather indirectly by other forms of tests (e.g. computed values, as opposed to used values or specified values or actual values or …).
It is possible to export iMessage threads by purchasing an Apple computer and enabling "iCloud for Messages", at which point the messages will be synced to the computer and stored locally in an SQLite database then exported using open source tools... unless you sent too many messages or attachments, at which point you also have to purchase an additional iCloud subscription based on how much storage you need.

Hopefully you can accomplish all this within the return window of the computer (or purchase a used one). The iCloud subscription fees are non-refundable. You can also just give up, keep the computer, and embrace the Apple ecosystem.

Thank you Tim Apple, very cool!

You asked for feedback in your post. No more, no less. Then you started flaming a person for giving their feedback. And start defending the flaming because you actually wanted feedback _in a certain format and worded nicely_.

You are doing great stuff with Memories. Community building skills need some work though.

That is my feedback. Which you asked for.
That is really shitty behaviour, and bizarre. Glassdoor is only feasible if users can have trust that their feedback is anonymous. I really hope this has not harmed anyone, I'd imagine the lower rated companies are most likely to retaliate.
DMCA seems more like a weapon abused by corporations. These laws are written solely for corporations. An emulator is not the thing.

It's an American law but a European company abides by it with no leeway given. Shameful.

Bad leadership will make a meal of any approach to work, its true. OKRs are not easy - they take good leadership, discipline and a culture which is open to feedback and committed to learning and adapting to what it learns. I wouldn't even say OKRs is the best way to work this way, just the most popular (hence why I wrote about the complimentary things we paired with it).

Dang, that seems like a lot of effort. It looks great though and it's such a big help for understanding something like this. I wonder if there are tools to automate this sort of thing. Like, is there a debugger that could highlight code that it passes through and when?
Thank you for the feedback, I need to improve the home page a lot. I thought I should make it as brief as possible so that people don't need to read long essays to quickly understand what it is about. But at the same time, presenting all the necessary information in a short text seems hard.
Some time shortly before the API changes I did see _a lot_ of the spam content was clearly aimed towards prompting for comments to answer all kinds of rather generic questions about various life experiences. I can only imagine what it was used to train.

If they control how SMS is received and displayed, they absolutely do control the featureset of SMS. On Android it's trivial to use different SMS apps, the receiver gets to decide how, if at all, they'll be separated.
What I find amusing is that all of those WhatsApp users don't know or don't care that they are uploading their entire list of contacts (with phone numbers) to Meta/Facebook and syncing it every day.

That "end-to-end encrypted" advertising has done its job, and most people don't want to be bothered with thinking too much anyway.

WhatsApp is a gold mine of real-world social graph data for Facebook/Meta. If you think for a moment how much you can infer by merging that data with other information you get from people using other FB apps and sites, it's incredible.

I used to regard myself highly as somewhat of an expert in tech, with my relatives and friends as a reference. I would spend days (cumulatively, weeks) customizing and locking down my Windows and Linux machines. I could not imagine paying for a closed product if an open alternative was available, even if it meant more ongoing hassle.

At first I got into Apple’s ecosystem because it ticked the boxes of being Unix-compatible yet very capable (perhaps rivaling Windows) of working with multimedia, which I did and do.

However, the older I get and the more I lurk here and elsewhere, the more I realize there is another reason: I am not an expert, the aforementioned weeks spent on securing my device are not substantially benefitting my life and are better spent on something else, and while no one should completely give up on keeping up-to-date with modern attack vectors paying someone to do that work more competently is worthwhile.

I still go to crazy lengths to avoid closed products in actual work I do, but I consider a base system that is maybe proprietary but just works, and securely enough, to be providing value in that way and enabling me to provide more value in turn.

And I still consider myself more knowledgeable than 95% of my friends and relatives, so there’s them to think about.
Mapping almost every law, regulation and case in Australia
Hey HN,

After months of hard work, I am excited to share the first ever semantic map of Australian law.

My map represents the first attempt to map Australian laws, cases and regulations across the Commonwealth, States and Territories semantically, that is, by their underlying meaning.

Each point on the map is a unique document in the Open Australian Legal Corpus, the largest open database of Australian law (which, full disclosure, I created). The closer any two points are on the map, the more similar they are in underlying meaning.

As I cover in my article, there’s a lot you can learn by mapping Australian law. Some of the most interesting insights to come out of this initiative are that:

⦁ Migration, family and substantive criminal law are the most isolated branches of case law on the map;

⦁ Migration, family and substantive criminal law are the most distant branches of case law from legislation on the map;

⦁ Development law is the closest branch of case law to legislation on the map;

⦁ Case law is more of a continuum than a rigidly defined structure and the borders between branches of case law can often be quite porous; and

⦁ The map does not reveal any noticeable distinctions between Australian state and federal law, whether it be in style, principles of interpretation or general jurisprudence.

If you’re interested in learning more about what the map has to teach us about Australian law or if you’d like to find out how you can create semantic maps of your own, check out the full article on my blog, which provides a detailed analysis of my map and also covers the finer details of how I built it, with code examples offered along the way.
With [traditional] power-assisted steering, there is always a direct mechanical connection between the wheel and the steering box/rack. It's assisted, usually hydraulically, but it is not isolated by a wire; that direct mechanical connection is always there.

With [traditional] power-assisted brakes, there is always a direct connection between the pedal doing the braking and the wheel cylinders. It's assisted (usually, but not always, by vacuum), but that direct mechanical connection is always there.

With one-pedal driving that only uses exactly one pedal, there is never a direct mechanical connection between that singular pedal and the braking system. That connection is only electrical; there is no direct mechanical (or hydraulic, to split hairs) connection at all. It is entirely brake-by-wire, unless one chooses to place a foot on the brake pedal and thereby do something other than one-pedal driving.

Thus: Unless there's hydraulics connected to the accelerator pedal, then: As long as mechanical braking (pads-on-rotors friction) can be performed in one-pedal mode (and it can be), then one-pedal mode must perform braking-by-wire.

We're already there, I think; people use brake-by-wire every day. (That we also have a functional hydraulic brake pedal as a backup does not mean that brake-by-wire is not a thing that one-pedal-mode provides.)

(If that sounds aggressive, then I apologize. I'm still recovering from a vacation with a 30-hour drive, and I may be up too late, and may also be drinking a bit much tonight.)
