> An AI chip with questionable software support.

As many can attest with the random "ARM SBC of the day" the Raspberry Pi continues to reign supreme because the software and ecosystem is second to none in the ARM SBC space. You can Google "[insert project/task here] raspberry pi" and unless it's completely ridiculous you will have your pick of implementations, how-to guides, and things that are often packaged up really nicely for even the novice Raspberry Pi user.

NPUs on ARM boards are nothing new. Like many people I have a graveyard of SBCs including things like the Khadas VIM3 (2019). If you Google "khadas npu" you will find that it basically only supports OpenCV and that took three years[0]. That's not nothing but compared to GPU it almost is.

The BeagleBone ecosystem is likely the clear very distant second to Raspberry Pi. I'm hoping they do better.

As we can see from the near-absolute dominance of CUDA (> 90% market share) software support and ecosystem matters much, much more than "X TOPS".

Ask HN: Is Advertising Becoming Obsolete?
People hate ads. How are they still lucrative? Ive noticed with some apps on my phone, there are native popup ads trying to sell some paid token or premium membership or something, and they are YEARS OLD. But yet, the only thing I know about the popup when I see it, is that it has a 'Not Now' or 'Maybe Later' button. Same goes for any ad on any website. <br><br>
Ive noticed with my own browsing habits, that when I am on a website trying to read an article or a how-to, or just exploring, my mental goal is not to shop. So these ads are simply an annoyance that are getting in the way of what im actually trying to do. However, when I AM trying to shop, on a website where goods and services are sold, I am much more privy to be influenced by an ad. <br><br>
At the gas pump when they put on the little embedded TV that plays ads, I toggle my 'mental ad blocker', but when I happen to hear a company name hosting the ad, immediately a feeling of annoyance and intrusion is associated with that company. How are modern methods of advertising even making anybody any money?

Supercharge ChatGPT with automatically generated prompts
Building a chrome extension that boosts chatGPT's performance, any feedback would be much appreciated.
comprehensions are (a) expressions and (b) bind
IMO, this comment is as much a "hallucination" as the thing you're complaining about.

OpenAI was founded with that name in 2015; transformer models were introduced with 2017's "Attention Is All You Need"; Even ChatGPT's immediate in-house predecessors in the form of InstructGPT and GPT-3 were basically ignored by the general public.

No, what made these companies valuable is that ChatGPT specifically crossed the threshold into being vaguely interesting, and then everyone else copied it.

Likewise the finite state machines controlling NPCs in video games — and the search tree in Deep Blue and the learning from self-play system in AlphaZero — are called "AI": they're good enough to be interesting, regardless of your position on the question "what is this 'thinking' thing anyway?" which led to Turing coming up with the eponymous test.
During my brief employment at McDonald's, I got the minimum wage, $1.60/hour. That was about the price of five gallons of gasoline then. Five gallons of gasoline in LA now seem to cost about $17, so they are a bit ahead of inflation by that measure.

On the other hand, in-state tuition ran about $200/year back then, so the minimum hourly wage was about .8 percent of a year's tuition. Now UCLA tuition is $13.4 thousand per year, and the minimum hourly wage is .15 percent of a year's tuition.
Thanks a lot for advice, this seems the way forward.
Building car infrastructure will not solve this problem, it will only serve to worsen it. The only medicine is improving the actually efficient alternatives in the form of transit and cycling infrastructure. NYC already has the best transit in the U.S, but there's clearly room for improvement. As for cycling infrastructure, this can only serve to help.
I don't have a clear view on whether LLMs are intelligent or not, but I don't understand your argument at all. Why couldn't an intelligent agent exist that refuses to admit they don't know something, and just make stuff up? I've known people who come pretty close to this behavior.
This is probably true for simple objects, but there is almost certainly a market for hiring people who use SAM-based tools (or similar) to label with some level of QA. I've tried a few implementations and they struggle with complex objects and can be quite slow (due to GPU overhead). Some platforms have had some variant of "click guided" labelling for a while (eg V7) but they're not cheap to use.

Prompt guided labelling is also pretty cool, but still in infancy (eg you can tell the model "label all the shadows"). Seg GPT for example. But now we're right back to LLMs...

On labelling, there is still a dearth of high quality niche datasets ($$$). Everyone tests on MS-COCO and the same 5-6 segmentation datasets. Very few papers provide solid instructions for fine tuning on bespoke data.
It also matters because two peoples call it home.
If I were you I'd create a brand new HN account and ask for advice there.
That's the most compassionate and un-troll-like thing I can imagine anyone doing.

(I really hope you're not seriously asking HN for advice on this. If this is a genuine request for advice, you have plenty of it now. Please go and be a compassionate human and support your co-founder. Consider deleting this post before they get to see it for themselves)

Good point, you’re probably right.
This is probably still true.

Currently this doesn't get as much media hype for some reason. But definitely the military is all in on the current hype-wave.

Because is it really 'hype' if an AI fighter pilot can beat human F-16 fighter pilots? This has already been done and old news.

Games, poker, go, StarCraft, -- all have 'game' logic that can also be used on battlefields.

Robots, logistics, fighter plane drones, battlefield 'perceptual' analysis, etc...

There are companies building these things now, they aren't hype.

Just like Darpa Funded the internet, in the future when the military has huge AI components, we'll be looking back on today fondly like the good old days before there were thousands of autonomous drones tracking us all the time..
It should if most things the "AI experts" say lines up. Though the growth will ultimately only be felt by the corporate overlords, the government and the owners of AI server farms.

That's basically what's happening every time a developer runs "npm install" or "pip install". Sure, it technically not be a "binary", but it makes no practical difference given that no code scrutiny is given the majority of the time.

The introduction of LLMs doesn't change much. People are already predisposed to copy paste random commands from blogs/forums. LLM is just one more source on top of that.
> from 1989, both Egypt and Israel became major non-NATO allies of the US.

Just b/c somebody is an ally of the US, doesn't make them automatically an ally of Israel.

Paraphrasing: An ally of my ally is not my ally.

But with the current leadership and State Dept we are not sure that even US is our ally.

--

Türkiye is a member of NATO, with antisemitic leader. Is Türkiye a friendly country? It used to be, but now it's a gray area.

[Trans-]Jordan's royal family is on life support from Israel, but it still openly acts like an enemy.

Egypt is the most obviously an enemy, even though there is "peace" on paper. Instead of asking me, ask an average Egyptian or [Trans-]Jordanian if they see Israel as an enemy.

Just b/c US pays them extortion or "protection" fees, doesn't make them any less of an enemy. It only delays the coming inevitable military conflict with them.

We are not that far from NATO planes bombing Tel Aviv and carrying out SEAD operations[1].

You can't just sell land for development. If the land is zoned for argicultural use you can't just build a suburb there. Zoning doesn't end at city limits here. Every square meter of land has allowed uses assigned to it and changing it takes a long time with rounds of protests and consultations.

It won't. You can't extrapolate the short-term recent trend to centuries. In the past, social/cultural/religious norms forced you to have children even if you didn't really have a great desire for them. This changed and now there will be selection pressure on personality traits which desire children.

> watching BBC and not something else

You're not allowed to watch "something else" either - it's a national tax on televisions, not a BBC subscription charge.

Historically the detector vans tuned in to the local oscillator frequency generated by the television's "Heterodyne" tuning circuits. In order to tune to different channels, the TV generated different frequencies and used them to shift the broadcast an intermediate frequency to where they would decode it. If you know the intermediate frequency used by the TV (I believe they all use the same one), and can measure the local oscillator frequency, you know the channel being tuned to. You may well still know the frequency being tuned to with a digital TV, but each frequency now carries a multiplex of several TV or radio channels.

The article literally writes

>the Perceptron would lead to machines that “will be able to walk, talk, see, write, reproduce itself and be conscious of its existence.”
More than six decades later, similar claims are being made about current artificial intelligence. So, what’s changed in the intervening years? In some ways, not much.

Which shows the author's complete lack of understanding of the basics. In ML reasearch, it has become very clear that compute is everything and architectures are actually not that important. So what has changed? And why is today fundamentally different, despite us still using the same perceptron architecture with a few tweaks? Look at the Kurzweil curve [1]. The available compute power has allowed existing architectures to flourish beyond what was possible in the 60s. Do you think it's a coincidence that computers in the early 2010s were suddenly able to distinguish pictures of cats and dogs reliably, when that was utterly impossible just a decade earlier? Or perhaps you think it's weird that GPT3/4 capability level models arrived in the 2020s? Just look at the curve (which was made in the early 2000s btw) to find out why.

I believe they don't have NFC enabled on the terminals at all. Same with Walmart (allegedly, I haven't been there in a while). I've heard rumours that the reason for this is so they can do customer tracking more reliably, but I'm not sure how much more valuable an actual card PAN is than a DPAN if the DPAN isn't getting rotated.
You can get Android based music players (DAPs e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/DigitalAudioPlayer/ ) which you could install software which streams when online, uses local storage when offline. Look into the Subsonic protocol - many music servers support this and it has built in support for this online/offline dichotomy.

Why the string searching? One million bits is 125KB. That would fit in L2 cache. Just build a bitmap of interesting results (small enough to ship with the app), do modulo 1000000, then do a lookup in the bit map. Could even be a byte map where the byte value indicates type of interesting number and would still fit in cache.

For sextuplets, you can just check whether the value is zero modulo 111111...

A nice thing to do might be to put "Mountweazel" packages under names like this, i.e. a package that always fails to install and gives an error explaining you've been duped by LLMinati.

There is already something like this for e.g. `nvidia-tlt` which exists on PyPI, but just as a placeholder telling you to go and add Nvidia's pip repository.

At the risk of seeming like an asshole:

I think for every highly competent person who just lacks a bit of social graces and is unfairly punished by a defensive bureaucracy, I have encountered many more incompetent people who, due to Dunning-Kruger, don't recognize their own incompetence, and instead ascribe the rejection of their (mediocre) ideas to the unfair defensiveness of the bureaucracy above them.

Speaking of CUDA, Nvidia's probably somewhere close to Beaglebone in support for their Jetsons. Though the Jetpack builds are all there is, so everyone's just resigned to dockerize anything they want to actually work on them lol.

Getting the cheapest Orin Nano with 20 TOPS for ~2.5x the price of this is still probably the better choice for any proper inference.
> Measuring GDP adjusted by purchasing power parity, but not per capita, seems like an odd metric.

Depends on what you want to compare.

If you want to understand the "heft" of the country in terms of the sheer size of the economy (adjusted for exchange rates) then you do country GDP on PPP basis.

If you want to understand the size taking into account currency rates then you do plain GDP.

If you want to understand how well off a citizen is THEN you do per-capita GDP.

When countries play on the world stage for influence, their overall heft i.e. total GDP (whether on a PPP basis or not) is essentially the main determinant.

There are plenty examples of self-awareness and reasoning, and even some that are arguably emotive, like laziness, annoyance or playfulness. I'm not sure what cognition means in this context, but I suspect it has some kind of metaphysical component to it?

Anyone know anything I can use to take video of a road from my car (a phone) and create a 3D scene from it? More focused on the scenery around the road as I can put a road surface in there myself later. I’m talking about several miles or perhaps more, but I don’t mind if it takes a lot of processing time or I need multiple angles, I can drive it several times from several directions. I’m trying to create a local road or two for driving on in racing simulators.
I think "bug" can also be a legitimate description in some cases.

If I imagine a very naive translation system that just does a dictionary substitution, and the dictionary has some bad entries, the correct and incorrect results look the same, but it's still a bug.

The system as a whole still messes up because "dictionary substitution" is not at all sufficient:

Hydraulic ram -> aqua ovis -> water sheep

… this probably counts as just "hallucination" while arguably not being a "bug", because the dictionary is correct (or close enough, I don't speak Latin), but the system as a whole can't ever be better because the model it relies on can't represent the right things.

I do think it’s notable that (a) the iPod is what really pushed Apple off the brink and into the mainstream, setting them on the path that got them to be the biggest tech company in the world and (b) the iPod really took off once Windows users could buy it, and Apple would not have been able to do this if Microsoft had the same rules in place that Apple has over the iPhone and iPad.

Had never considered this, great points.
