> I do see these artificial limitations in their product lineup. For example, you can't get a 1TB SSD in their 16" MBP unless you get the M3 Max as opposed to the M3 Pro which is a $600 upgrade.

That's odd. I have no trouble clicking the 1TB button when configuring a 16" M3 Pro system, and seeing the price go up by only $200. But I'm also seeing only $400 to upgrade from M3 Pro to M3 Max (assuming both are configured with 36GB of RAM), so maybe you're in a different country with different pricing and options?

> TypeScript/React both using VSCode

If you're using any Jetbrains IDE and want to also run your app/nodejs/etc. you mac will start freezing and and input lagging. Of course it's a pretty bloated Java app that could be optimized a bit more but I can't really blame them, RAM is so cheap nowadays that there is no reason why you'd have less than 16GB or even 32...

Also having any mildly memory intense app + Chrome (with > 10-20 tabs opened) is a no go etc.
Not really, and no. Torch and CUDA align computation to hardware.

If it were just a matter of doing that, we would be fine with fully-connected MLP. And maybe that would work with orders of magnitude more data and compute than we currently throw at these models. But we are already pushing the cutting edge of those things to get useful results out of the specialized architecture.

Choosing the right NN architecture is like feature engineering: the exact details don't matter that much, but getting the right overall structure can be the difference between learning a working model and failing to learn a working model, from the same source data with the same information content. Clearly our choice of inductive bias matters, and the transformer architecture is clearly an improvement over other designs.

Surely you wouldn't argue that a CNN is "just" aligning computation to hardware, right? Transformers are clearly showing themselves as a reliably effective model architecture for text in the same way that CNNs are reliably effective for images.

I have a hellcat redeye, approximately one of your $100k cars. I've thoroughly enjoyed the car in the nearly 2 years I've owned it. But, I'm barely over 6,000 miles, and I've killed 2 batteries and just had the starter replaced and a loose ground (fixed/replaced under warranty). The loose ground may not have been a factory defect: I had to have the wiring harness replaced after some rodents chewed through some of the wiring...

> The idea that intelligences [...] should be forbidden from learning from code freely shared on the internet goes against everything I like about open source.

Love it or lump it, this has been the battleground for most free software distribution. Just having a licensed copy of code does not permit you to do anything with it, even the BSD license has restrictive terms for the user. I'm an enormous Copyleft advocate, but arguably Open Source is only enforced by stopping people from using it illegally. If ChatGPT's fate is to turn into an GPL-licensed code-launderer, then projects have a great basis for banning it among their contributors.

> I think it's fair that no one should be able to use reproduced copyright code verbatim

Then I don't see how you can be upset at Open Source projects for adopting basic standards. They also want to protect their own license and community, with the main difference being that they're not in it for the money. Again - there was never any point where "Open Source" was synonymous with "do whatever you want with the code unconditionally".

> The problem with Tesla at it's core is Musk. He is nothing more than a spoiled brat who exploited the gullible edgelord-praising kids and young-ish adults.

It's hard to take this comment seriously as I watch rockets fly into space on a routine basis, taking humans to the ISS, deploying thousands of satellites which transmit low-latency internet signals across the globe, and watching Tesla go from a doomed-to-fail novelty to having the #1 selling car in the world. Even his oft-lampooned pet project Cybertruck has been a massive success.

You don't have to like the person or even refrain from ridiculing him, but to say he's Tesla's core problem is absurd.

> because the human brain is some kind of copyright laundering machine

I once came up with the idea of a physical copyright laundering machine. It had three CD-R drives (this shows how long ago I had the idea). You’d insert a CD-ROM to launder, and two blank CD-R discs. To one of the CD-Rs, it would write a one-time pad, to the other it would write the input CD-ROM XOR the one-time pad. A hardware RNG (I wanted to use a quantum process such as radioactive decay for more emphatic indeterminism) generates the one-time pad. It also generates a single random bit which determines which output CD-R gets the key and which one gets the ciphertext. That bit is never revealed to the user (or recorded in any way). The end result is two CD-Rs, one containing random data, the other a copyrighted work encrypted with random data-but it is impossible to know which is which.

I never actually built one of these machines. I wanted to patent it, but gave up when I realised how much patents cost. I also eventually realised that my machine would never work, because it was approaching the law with the mind of a developer not the mind of a judge - I doubt any judge would actually be convinced by my copyright laundering machine, they’d find a way to rule against it, whatever exact way that might be. The law and computing are both systems of rules, but the rules in the former involve far more discretion and flexible interpretation.

'Blameless postmortem' requires people are able to discuss things without being blamed.

Bikes: a desperate demand for society to subsidize the hobby of high-status individuals.

Why should we allocate scarce infrastructure land for marginal increases in bike-lanes (that are chronically under-used), for perhaps uniquely the worst form of transit?

If someone told you that they wanted you to provision funding/space for a new form of transit that was:

* Slow/short range

* Impractical in all but basically nice weather

* Requires parking

* Not family-friendly

* Not friendly for the elderly or anyone who is disabled to almost any definition of "disabled"

* Unsafe

* Has low to no cargo capacity

Show HN: Reduce ChatGPT costs 10x with distributed cache for LLMs
Hello HN!

We're building a caching solution for LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude). By combining cutting-edge approaches, such as edge computing, prompt compression, vectorization, and others - it can reduce your AI bills by up to 10x and significantly lower response times.

Key Features:
- cost efficiency: our system stores frequent queries, reducing the number of upstream (paid) API calls
- fast responses: with various nodes globally, we reduce latency by serving data from the nearest location
- scalability: designed to handle increasing loads and data sizes without degrading performance.

The cache operates transparently, requiring minimal changes to your existing setup. It's like your local content delivery network (CDN), but for LLMs, ensuring that users get the fastest possible access to information.

While still in its early stages, we are excited about the potential and are looking to gather feedback from the community. We will share the demo once you subscribe to our mailing list (to control our spending ;))

This could be a game-changer for those using LLMs in prod environments where cost and response time are critical.

We’re eager to hear what you think!

(launching from the Bunny Coworking House in SF - thanks, Henry, Liyen, and Grace, for having us)

The full control plane is not open source, so if you use tenants or many of the not-in-postgres features you will need to implement the control plane. It's not too much work to do so - there's already a few open source projects starting to do so - but just be aware of that.

I can’t really tell what the author’s point is.

I was a bit disappointed that git didn’t end up taking my suggestion: either getting rid of the default name entirely or making it something obviously useless like “unnamed”.

The logic is that neither “master” nor “main” is actually a good name. In the git model, the default branch is a local concept, and it becomes a public property of a fork in most cases when one pushes. If I clone an upstream project, git used to make me a local branch called “master,” which made no sense — my clone isn’t the master copy [0] of anything. But it’s also not the “main” branch of anything other than my local fork.

So why does it need a default name that implies any particular usage at all?

[0] In the sense of an audio master, for example. I’m not sure of the exact etymology here, but I’m not convinced that this usage traces back to master/slave. But this branch is, of course, also not in charge of anything, nor does it have anything resembling a slave.

Seems like this was just an (unlicensed) "fork", with the only addition being obtrusive ads.

The copyright situation here seems a bit confusing, though: At least for Delta, a multi-console emulator by the same author, there's a notice that the author "has no choice but to distribute Delta under the AGPLv3 license" (due to the emulator cores being licensed as that) [1].

The license note goes on to say "unless you plan to submit your app to Apple’s App Store, in which case written permission from me is explicitly required".

This sounds like an additional restriction incompatible with at least the GPL-sourced emulator cores included.

Thank you for your insights. AS someone who is absolutely new to this, could you clarify the role of embedding in RAG? Do I need to use OpenAI's OpenAI embedding model (text-embedding-ada-002) always to use for embeddings ?

Supposing I do use text-embedding-ada-002 model and store the index in a vector database, will I be able use these for RAG with other LLMs such as Claude Haiku etc. ? Or does each LLM have its own text embedding model ?

> There's nothing quite like interfaces in Haskell.

What are the differences you care about between programming against an interface in go and programming against a typeclass in Haskell?

From my industrial Haskell experience, programming against a typeclass is natural and common, and the differences that come to mind (no need to declare instances, pervasive ability to fallibly downcast) don't seem to support a claim that Haskellers "don't program against instances" except in the useless sense (that I don't think you intend) that what they program against aren't exactly go interfaces.
In LA only half that planned system was built due to protests over how it was planned to be built (eminent domain through populated neighborhoods). So even back then, it is false to say these things were easy, they ran out of political will within a few years of construction.
Skimmed through it and didn't really see any focus on products or users. Red flag IMHO.

I could not agree more. "master" and "main" always seem to be the most abused branches in my repos. I keep having developers who aren't familiar with GIT workflow yet, work on it locally and then push directly without a PR. It would be really nice to have GIT refuse to work until developers set their username, email, and default branch (something other than main/master).
> You can’t reverse an operation that loses information with absolute certainty unless you are using other factors to constrain the possible inputs.

Ok, but there are other factors you can use to constrain the possible inputs.

For example with license plates. You know the possible letters and how they appear when "blurred" so you can zoom-enhance them.
Very cool, but i imagine it'll hit a number of fun bugs randomly, with code like:

{

Trace(TRACE_FORCE_DONT_PRINT, "InterlockedCompareExchange");

if (compare == *dest) {
*dest = xchg;
}

return temp;
}

Not very interlocked at all :)

Happy Supabase user here, albeit on a tiny app I work on in my spare time. So no comment for larger or more complex orgs.

That being said, the Swift documentation could use some love. It’s not terrible but it’s also not great. There have been a number of times when I wanted to do something, ended up reading about it on the Supabase JS documentation, and then thought “well I assume it’s roughly the same in the Swift library.” It worked, but a pain to have to guess a lot.
I also have a Toyota hybrid. Regenerative braking falls off as speed decreases. Whatever algorithm they use to determine how hard to apply the brake pads either doesn't compensate for this or is tuned conservatively.

I don't think this is too much of a problem. But there's another failure mode that will startle you unless you're monitoring the battery charge on long downhill slopes. If the battery gets too full, the regenerative braking cuts out abruptly.

If you're dealing with this kind of terrain regularly, you might want to get familiar with the engine braking mode. (B or S on the shifter)
