I'm building Plandex (https://github.com/plandex-ai/plandex), a terminal-based AI coding tool which currently uses the OpenAI api--I'm working on support for Anthropic and OSS models right now and hoping I can ship it later today.

You can self-host it so that data is only going to the model provider (i.e. OpenAI) and nowhere else, and it gives you fine-grained control of context, so you can pick and choose exactly which files you want to load in. It's not going to pull in anything in the background that you don't want uploaded.

There's a contributor working on integration with local models and making some progress, so that will likely be an option in the future as well, but for now it should at least be a pretty big improvement for you compared to the copy-paste heavy ChatGPT workflow.

Ahhh...I understand now.

You're talking about motion blur created from eye tracking, rather than slow pixel response like I had assumed.

Meh, I don't see it as a problem, really. And as frame rates get higher, it becomes even less of a problem, as the distance an object moves across the screen between each frame is less. I'm already running at 144 fps, and I'll probably be looking for 240 fps in a few years.
This isn't true. There are lenders that will loan you money in a way that qualifies your offer as all-cash, even though you are still borrowing money with interest. I think the distinction is based on whether or not the borrowed money comes from a traditional mortgage.

I wonder why people think it's crazy for housing prices to go up in a short amount of time but don't think twice about the stock market going up more than that over the same time period.

I think people get confused by how this is possible because they only consider the wages required to buy a home when buyers in high cost areas have benefited from a doubling in their liquid net worth via stocks and other financial assets.
Once benchmarks exist for a while, they become meaningless - even if it's not specifically training on the test set, actions (what used to be called "graduate student descent") end up optimizing new models towards overfitting on benchmark tasks.

It's likely RAG / augmented with web data. Would be interested if local execution returned the same results.
Not really that either, if we assume that “open weight” means something similar to the standard meaning of “open source”—section 2 of the license discriminates against some users, and the entirety of the AUP against some uses, in contravention of FSD #0 (“The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose”) as well as DFSG #5&6 = OSD #5&6 (“No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups” and “... Fields of Endeavor”, the text under those titles is identical in both cases). Section 7 of the license is a choice of jurisdiction, which (in addition to being void in many places) I believe was considered to be against or at least skirting the DFSG in other licenses. At best it’s weight-available and redistributable.
That this is downvoted (twice!) is very interesting.

It will certainly decrease. Also, there are multiple ways to deal with hallucinations. You can sample GPT-4 not once, but 10, 100, 1000 times. The chances of it hallucinating the same things asymptotically reaches 0. It all depends on how much money you are willing to invest in getting the right opinion, which in the field of medicine, can be quite a lot.

I agree that it's not testing in the strict sense, but fuzzing isn't really testing either.

> "Nothing about Meta's license is open source. It's a carefully constructed legal agreement intended to prevent any meaningful encroachment by anyone, ever, into any potential Meta profit, and to disavow liability to prevent reputational harm in the case of someone using their freeware for something embarrassing."

You seem to be making claims that have little connection to the actual license.

The license states you can't use the model if, at the time Llama 3 was released, you had >700 million customers. It also says you can't use it for illegal/military/etc uses. Other than that, you can use it as you wish.

Lol, So? HN front page has plenty of garbage.
It’s a good idea because not only do you keep a list of things you want to fix, but letting things hang out in there sometimes gives you time to understand why something is the way it is.

There will be plenty of times where things were rushed or mistakes were made, but sometimes it really is the case that you just can’t wrap your head around some piece of complexity right away just by looking at a line of code.
Is this a problem? This sounds like ordinary business development / product management. Let's say I started a cloud provider. A customer comes to me and says "we need something like BigQuery". The first thing I'd do is sign up for BigQuery and try it out, right?

Do you believe a jet fighter drone with a gun can be manufactured with sensing, computing, landing, takeoff, and AI for a million, or even a million per kill vs fighter craft? I do not.

Maybe you'll want AI for loitering munitions, for air to air a fighter drone is going to look more like a first stage for a multi-missile launch platform. It'll fly a while, loiter, volley against aircraft or missiles, then return for rearm and recover.
That is roughly how I've approached things whenever I'm walking into a pre-existing situation. I spend the first week just reviewing everything and writing down questions/observations, etc. Not only the "WTF" moments, though. I also take note of things that I think work really well or were really great ideas.

Then there's some time to review/prioritize/etc before any sort of discussions.
I’m impressed by the benchmarks but really intrigued by the press release with the example prompt ~”Tell me some concerts I can go to on Saturday”. Clearly they are able to add their Meta data to context, but are they also crawling the web? Could this be a surface to exfiltrate Meta data in ways that scraping/ APIs cannot?

They put so much work into Breath of the Wild, that I'm glad they were able to recycle a huge amount of that investment into Tears of the Kingdom. Similarly, they put so much work into the physics system that I hope it also gets reused in another game on more capable hardware. If not Zelda, maybe Mario Kart?
What does not get a lot of attention is the work they have done with OCP (Open Compute: https://www.ocp.org/en-us) to first launch it in 2012 and then nurture and grow it since then.

One project I am really excited to see grow is Overture Maps(https://overturemaps.org/), I think it'll have an impact, from end user perspective, far larger than perhaps all other projects.

TSMC, as a business, has nothing to fear from a mainland takeover beyond the risk of losing some overseas customers. It would be in the mainland's interest to keep TSMC running as smoothly as possible, like they did in HK.

Diversifying outside of Taiwan is for the benefit of the US and allies. As you mention, for Taiwan this is a bad strategic move but they have no choice but to comply.

China has no military interest in any of those. Taiwan is Chinese territory.

At most China might be interested in the part of historical Tibet that is now in India (and which it still claims) but realistically a war is no longer viable or realistic.

I had a "moderate" TBI while in the military, and I'm actually dealing with a migraine today.

I am absolutely less smart (however you want to phrase that) on the days I have a migraine. I can't quantify it, but I can say that on normal days I can do advanced math, etc. and on migraine days I just... can't understand it. It's like it just doesn't "click".

It's fascinating and gives me profound empathy for those who don't have the mental faculties I do (on my good days).
I think you are 100% spot on. The socal buyer right now is a mix of SF/norcal deep pocketed tech employees(see my other post on this article) and just folks that are extremely desperate to buy a house, ie. they are cashing out everything they have(pension/401k/stocks/other assets) and getting themselves into a very risky position. If the stock market or housing market were to tank you would end up in a situation where all your assets(remember that you cashed out everything) are tied into the house and it crashes in value and you could also lose your job so you lose everything(a very scary situation).

> to places where absolutely nobody lives

I mean, have you actually looked into building a house in one of those nobody lives places?

First question I have is "can you". You might get an outright no on attempting to build it there.

Next question is how long before you get permitting.

Even if you get permitting, what are the hookup fees for utilities. Doesn't do you any good if it costs a million for them to run a water pipe out to you.

>If it is expensive to build a house - could it be optimized, 3d-printed, automated in some way?

We 3D print houses now, and this doesn't reduce the price of the house any if at all. Things like electric and plumbing certification cost a ton and are not currently automatiable. And in general pre-manufactured is not allowed or extremely limited in most places.
What a silly, provocative comparison. China is a suppressive state that strives to control its citizens while the EU privacy protection laws are put in place to protect citizens. If you cannot access websites from "the free world" because of these laws, it means that the providers of said websites are threatening your freedom, not providing it.
Yeah coming up with our pricing model was and still is challenging. We're due for a revamp. As with most things in tech, all of these features require a ton of time to build / maintain / etc. so while the marginal cost isn't that high, the development time for all of them is very meaty and still ongoing.

If you were comparing something like build vs. buy where you had to build every feature clerk has from scratch, just paying for clerk would be soo much cheaper. But not every app needs every feature, and there's also a lot of open source options out there that make the build out a lot easier, so that comparison isn't completely fair.

But the main idea is that we wanted most apps to cost ~$25/mo - $100/mo, and, if you're building a B2B SaaS, you're going to have far fewer MAUs, and so we wanted the base cost to be higher at ~200/mo.

If you, or anyone reading this, ever feel like they're paying "too much" for Clerk - reach out to us and we'll work out a custom deal or even help you off-board to something else.

Banning users is still currently on the $25/mo tier which feels wrong, it should be in the free tier. We're due for a pricing revamp again quite frankly to make these pricing options more attractive. The tricky thing with the MAU costs is that a lot of folks seems to think they have a monster on their hands and forecast for like 1M MAUs or something, which is so far from reality.

It's tough to balance all of these competing priorities -- and if we don't have enough revenue, we can't keep building and investing in the platform for which we have pretty big ambitions. I will say that over a long period of time we want auth to be free and we want build applications to be 100x easier than they are today. I'm kind of getting ramble-y, but we also recognize that clerk's not for everyone and your use case might not make sense!
Meta (and other privacy exploiting companies) have to actually... care? Even if it's just a bit more. Nothing draconian about it.

>But a loop can be constructed with just these gates.

No, it can't be. You could unroll a constant length loop into a network of these domino calculators (which is how you get Turing-completeness in homomorphic encryption from a few logical primitives), but you cannot implement arbitrary looping that real computers can do.

>CPU, memory, and etc sre just a collection of these gates, connected by these gates.

No, they aren't. Those implement the additional functionality necessary to do that for arbitrary cycles of calculations, not just one static loop unrolled into a fixed-size circuit.

>For sure, you need to go further in this direction to build a general purpose computer, but it is in this direction that you have to go.

No, the functionality implemented here cannot generalize to arbitrary computation until you implement other, orthogonal primitives.

If 5 people live in a house and 4 move away that has not changed the housing situation any.

Hold down the option key while dropping one folder over another. It will offer to merge files. Alternatively, open the folders and drag files from one to the other. Overwrites will ask you is you really want to. (like cp -i)

I'm not arguing that speed plays a factor, but you should still wear a helmet.

I know two people who had brain damage (like, serious damage that persists years later) from low speed falls - one was literally standing still, and the fall sent them to the hospital for a week. The other one was low speed, just starting off after stopping at the bottom of an uphill section. Not sure the exact details of what happened, but same story - fall -> hospital -> permanent loss of cognitive abilities and some change to personality.

Totally agree that if a truck runs you over, helmet probably won't do much. But a helmet will totally be the difference between an embarassing fall with a few minor scrapes, and one of the most (negatively) impactful moments of your life.
Tangent: running old OSes (with no virtio support) under QEMU on Linux has the peculiar property that I/O-heavy portions such as installation can run faster under TCG (JIT) than under KVM (hardware virtualization), presumably due to all the trapping.

> We got around this by cutting our budget in half, and using what would have been a 40% downpayment for a 1.5 million dollar house to put 75% down on a $800,000 house.

Wow, that's wonderfully financially responsible. I'm glad you were able to do it, but I'm doubtful many people would be able to pull this off.

> I have no way to prove this, but my impression is that most people with mortgages are buying more house than they can responsibly afford, and they are effectively gambling on not losing their incomes.

I think they are definitely doing this, but I also think most people think assuming constant future income instead of a bug jump counts as being financially responsible.

What I fear is that many people instead are betting that they can make the payments for a couple years by hook or crook (undeclared personal loans and credit card advances) until interest rates fall and then they can refinance. If this projected drop in interest rates occurs, they come out way ahead. Real estate prices soar, and they can afford to stay. If it doesn't, house prices will drop, refinancing will be impossible, and there will be an awful lot of foreclosures of underwater mortgages in a couple years.

I think the way quant funds handle this problem is everyone only works with a small incomplete part of the overall code, never the entire product, so to any employee it's never obvious how the whole thing works. Moreover, incomplete code is useless if one was to try to integrate it with a competing firm's code. Only a few people have the entire blueprint.

China's central government also believes it is protecting its citizens.

The fact that they CAN exert so much power on information access in the name of "protection" is a bad precedent, and opens the door to future, less-benevolent authoritarian leadership being formed.

(Even if you think they are protecting their citizens now, I actually disagree; blocking access to AI isn't protecting its citizens, it's handicapping them in the face of a rapidly-advancing world economy.)
