Bit of a butchered title? Suggestion: New $5B helicopters can't carry president; might scorch lawns
The BMW Z4 2018 and later models shares platform with the Toyota Supra 2019 and later. The platform, at least according to both brands marketing, was co-developed, and it is manufactured in Austria by a 3rd party that also built cars for other brands.

And no, Toyota doesn't make the most reliable cars. It might have been true for some period of time, but isn't true for every model and every year (even Corolla, often suggested as a very reliable sedan, has some versions that are in fact infamous for their tendency for oil sludge buildup that result in engine failures).
It's ironic that LLMs mimic one of the worst behaviors of some HN posters. They very confidently spout drivel!
Calling someone a name is only an ad hominem fallacy if you try to use it as an argument. Here it's just used for style. Since the author has plenty of valid arguments, the name calling - which is not an argument - can be dismissed without weakening the actual argument.

In any case, it is not sound reasoning to reject the entirety of an argument just because one of the subclaims is not a valid argument. Doing so is the fallacy fallacy.

In this case, it's true that name calling weakens the credibility of the post for a general audience. But I contend that we might not need need to care. It only weakens the credibility of the post for members of the audience who make the fallacy fallacy, and refuse to evaluate the other claims on their own merits.

Convincing or not convincing such an audience might not be a concern to an author focused on truth, since such an audience is persuaded by fallacies.

Another thing is that if a person is actually a bad person, calling them bad names describing how they are a bad person is actually a true statement and not an argument "to the man". In this case the actual claim that is being argued is the fact of the person's moral insufficiency. Calling them the bad name is just the conclusion of an argument.

The main snafu of calling someone names as a stylistic or concluding aspect of an argument is that it lacks the decorum. If the debate forum requires respectful decorum then an argument can be disqualified on these grounds.

However in this case the forum is the author's own blog. The author has clearly chosen to speak to an audience that can evaluate arguments without being set back by insults - presumably an audience who is already very upset at Google and wants to know which person they should be upset at specifically. In this role, I found the insults were actually rather enjoyable and funny!
Would such a capability (training) be useful for anything other than small scale experimentation? Apple doesn’t make server products anymore and even when they did, they were overpriced. Unless they have private Apple silicon based servers for their own training needs?
They did, they sponsored MacPorts. (And then Swift Package Manager.)
for sure, so my use case for example is

"using the following documentation to guide you {api documentation}, edit this code {relevant code}, with the following objective: Replace uses of {old API calls} in {some function} with with relevant functions from the supplied documentation"

It mostly works, but if the context is a little to long, sometimes it will just spam the same umlaut or number (always umlaut's or numbers) over and over for example. Perhaps some fine-tuning of parameters like temp. or repetition penalty might fix it, time will tell.
True, but it'd be nice if they could just answer "I don't know" unless they are able to use RAG to retrieve an answer.
They should do it to become the de facto platform for programming.
Every time I see someone being harassed for writing software in the open I'm going to think of the social campaign against the xz maintainer.
Looks like there's a Rust implementation: https://crates.io/crates/afsort

> When sorting English words, this implementation seems to be about 40% faster than sort_unstable from the Rust standard library.

That's better than I would have expected. It would be interesting to see how it does on other types of string sort problems.

Would be nice if they fixed and revived a few broken quests too. Worried a bit with how recent remakes have been handled, but maybe after 40k crashes, old game remakers will start respecting the source again.

Maxtext: A simple, performant and scalable Jax LLM
"MLX examples demonstrate how to run CoreNet models efficiently on Apple Silicon. Please find further information in the README.md file within the corresponding example directory."

> mlx_example/clip: ... an example to convert CoreNet's CLIP model implementation to MLX's CLIP example with some customized modification.

- FP16 Base variant: 60% speedup over PyTorch
- FP16 Huge variant: 12% speedup

> mlx_example/open_elm: ... an MLX port of OpenELM model trained with CoreNet. MLX is an Apple deep learning framework similar in spirit to PyTorch, which is optimized for Apple Silicon based hardware.

Seems like an advantage is extra speedups thanks to specialization for Apple Silicon. This might be the most power-efficient DNN training framework (for small models) out there. But we won't really know until someone benchmarks it.
Awesome! Now I can drive an hour+ to Rancho Cucamonga, park, wait for the train, pay the equivalent of four plane tickets for my family, then take a 2 hour+ train ride, instead of driving for 4 hours from my house for the cost of half a tank of gas ($35). So cool!
> It looks like a mid-level implementations of training and inference

I’m not familiar with how any of this works but what does state of the art training look like? Almost no models release their training source code or data sets or pre processing or evaluation code. So is it known what the high level implementation even is?
by that logic nothing is a framework, everything "compiles" to js and css

Good read and I simpathise. Dealing with publicity can be horrible. You need such a thick skin and self confidence not to be moved by insults and demands coming with people actually start using what you created.
Neither, still, the answers it does provide - despite a few hiccups - are truly outstanding. I am really impressed with this model, even with its issues. Though, I am sure the issues such that they are, are a month or two away from being fixed. For what its worth, I haven't played as much with the bigger model, but it seems to not struggle with the same, though take that with a grain of salt, it runs too slow on my hardware for me to rapidly test things.
Didn’t Andrew Carnegie, the very definition of rich and difficult to work for spend a huge chunk of his fortune funding 3000+ libraries?

That's a statement about audio playing only though. To first approximation the core job of a car infotainment product is map and navigation display. Everything else is noise.
>Same goes for companies. Nobody cares about you as long as everything is working smoothly, but as soon as they encounter a problem, guess who comes knocking on my door?

Companies do not use libraries, devs do. Dev ability to pay for the libs is essentially zero, and even if you try to escalate it to management and purchase the license, this can easily take a year of few to approve.
It's kinda the same problem we have in the EU though. High speed rail is mostly state level. France wants their TGV serving mostly French travellers. Same with the Spanish AVE and German ICE.

It would be amazing to book a high speed train from Amsterdam to Barcelona at prices competing with Aviation. But nobody cares about this at a pan-EU level.
"class traitor" has a specific meaning: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class_traitor

it's not about not-being-something, more like the component created by UI kit will function regardless of any framework you use, or the lack of one.
That is the big "if", to be sure. I spent three years working for Intel after they acquired Vertex.AI, trying to help build that software story, and it was rough going; we didn't accomplish much, and it doesn't sound like they're using any of it.

> Why?

Why not?

"Highly skilled" people are highly sought after because, by and large, they are the people most likely to create new capital. Success in creating new capital begets a desire to create even newer capital and so long as the people continue to be successful in capital creation efforts, there is really no end.

Not a whole lot different as to why Silicon Valley hasn't stabilized with Detroit. Of course, Detroit is also interesting here because it provides a cautionary tale as to what happens when capital creation seizes up. That is what Canada is desperately trying to avoid by trying to bring in the "highest skilled" people from other countries.
It will not work. Congress is full old people who do not even know what tiktok is.

You cannot force a company to sell because you "believe" they are a national security threat. Is there proof they are a national security threat?

I mean I believe Fox news is a national security threat, they actively helped a rapist lie and overthrow the US government. Can we force Fox to be sold to some less evil billionaires?

If the bill even makes it out of the Senate then it will fail in the courts. It is a waste of time and posturing by old people who should have been replaced years ago.

I guess you are right. I never actually did the math on animation storage but I just somehow assumed it was bigger. They obviously use a standard character model (or at least a few) that every animation works with. I just assumed it would be bigger esp with the number of emotes modern cosmetic games have.
I will never understand how entitled or mean people can be towards OSS devs. I sympathize with this post a great deal and wish the author all the best in whatever he does next.
Laws are tautologically in the domain of government.

Get information from llms after learning how to prompt them so that they won't hallucinate. Get information from searches by using llms to filter through the crap results. Get information from scientific papers on Google scholar and the arxiv. Get information from textbooks on the library Genesis. Get information from audiobooks on the audiobook Bay. Get information from peers trained in specific domains. Get information by reading code and documentation belonging to open source projects. Get information by performing experiments and trials. Get information by compiling reports and essays.

There are still many sources for information. And it's okay to work hard for it.

Good luck and Happy knowledge work.
> human curation is an algorithm

This phrase seems too muddled to be useful to me. An algorithm that aggregates preferences of people isn't "just" a "a finite sequence of mathematically rigorous instructions".

If we run amok with the usage above (which I don't care for), what _isn't_ an algorithm? When everything is an algorithm, the word has no meaning.
They are trying to maximize their power to their own advantage, just like everyone else. (Un)fortunately it’s way too late to ban e2e encryption for anyone who really wants it (i.e. nerds and criminals), but they might end up banning it for the general public out of spite.
They've actually gone through different eras of interpreting expansively or restrictively.
Hmmm? I've taken Amtrak coast to coast and it took four days.

Currently searching on amtrak.com (they don't seem to make PDF schedules anymore, sadly!):

Scheduled transfer time in Chicago Union Station is about 4 hours.

So this should take a total of about 79 hours.

The problem isn’t outdated thinking. Outdated thinking is fine. Conventional police tactics, and surveillance, work just great with encryption.

The problem is a very futuristic vision of what surveillance should look like.
I have to say, I'm just struck with astonishment to encounter a truism about "flexible government" as a defense of autocratic despotism.

The world consists of more than two people. It isn't just about them. Am I misunderstanding your point?

Many individuals care about society as a useful construct -- a construct that is not easily calculable from individual utilities. [1] This would suggest that even utilitarians should care about society -- unless they think they get to define what matters to their precious individuals. [2]

[1] Sure, one can say society is _causally_ derived from individual actions, but... (1) the derivation of what society looks like is not predictable enough for the time scales we care about; (2) individuals are influenced by society, as a matter of perception

[2] If I may attempt some satire, I wouldn't at all be surprised if some utilitarians are a sort of "mini-autocrat" at heart -- in the sense they get to decide what counts in every individual's utility function. e.g. "I value you, individuals!, yes I do!... but I get to tell you what really matters for your happiness! and after I do that I decree that the summation operator is how we put it all together!"
and again, if they will never be shared, there is not much to worry about. We do need tools to persecute people who failed on the 'never be shared' front. Be it theft or otherwise, if others get the material from them, it doesn't matter, it should be treated as guilty of producing with intent to distribute. This is for two reasons, the first being this way people cannot hide behind the 'oopsie' defense.Second, if you made compromising material of others without consent, your duty of care is through the roof. If it leaks, you are at fault, no matter how hard you tried to prevent it. You never had to make that material. There was no reason to make it other than a selfish self-centered personal pursuits of a hedonistic nature, now if its victimless I don't care personally but the moment your selfish self-centered behavior hurts others, you are a danger to society.
Happens too often. Ironic that the open source, "free" projects are often the most criticized.
Does anyone had a similar experience like that?

I totally understand the abuses described by the author and feel sorry about that. But I wonder how other successful open-source projects survived and eventually became rentable like Vue.js

> When it’s completed, the train will travel at 186 miles per hour

If China can push 286 mph in Shanghai, which means the tech exists, then why isn't this comparable? This is not snark; I am just curious what makes the Chinese train capable of such speeds, but the US train can't.
I think the difference is that I don't think I deserve, necessarily, a say in the decisions that affect the company. Maybe after a certain point, and under certain conditions I would feel as if I "deserved" a say. Or if it was my own company, or a company I co-founded. But that is an earned privilege. Incidentally I feel similarly about government, albeit the bar is an order of magnitude lower.

Anyway, the whole idea to me is strange since the joint-stock corporation has been around since the 17th century (arguably much earlier if you include economies outside of Europe, and your definition of "joint" and "stock"), so surely if having a "democratic" company was a better way to operate that would be the norm instead.
They probably aren't good employees then, honestly. My scenario here is entirely dependent on leaders trusting their reports, if that isn't possible then at best they can try to force objectives down from the top.

I'd argue that still won't work, and in my experience it hasn't. Id your employees don't understand the business or aren't good at defining goals, you've failed them as a leader. Maybe they shouldn't have been hired, though I'd argue they have been poorly managed and put into roles that don't fit their skills and interests.

The model I was talking about here would be flipping the script entirely though. There wouldn't he a chance for someone to misunderstand the business. Leaders' entire task is taking what their reports' priorities are and unifying a vision and business plan from that (recursively until you reach independent contributors). Employees can never misunderstand, leadership can only misunderstand their employees.
Ok, but folks are perfectly willing to drive to Rancho Cucamonga if it means avoiding the 200-mile long traffic jam on I-15 on Sunday afternoon. A full transit system for everyone in LA would dwarf the cost of this rail line and it would take so long for people to return home they just would drive instead.
I wonder how frequent that is, the "We've pointless patents. And legal budget larger than your last round. Thank for playing, goodbye." It seems a reoccurring theme.

But as for the usefulness of patents to startups, at least with material-science-y hardware, I've heard possession of a defensive patent portfolio described as "table stakes" for existence, with enforceability et al being secondary.

It was interesting watching patents and unicorn dreams shape VR. Instead of years of commercial ferment exploring low-hanging niches, we wait for monoliths to eventually create maximally-hard mass-market consumer tech, and will then backfill easier niches, eventually. An industrial policy optimized for pharma, yielding pharma-shaped industries.
I haven't seen a car USB port that does fast charging, only slow 5V @ 1 or 2 amps. So if I need a charge, I'd rather use a fast 18W "cigarette lighter port" charger and wireless connection.

Otherwise my trips are usually short enough. Also my phone's dual screen addon case (LG V60) blocks the USB port.
There was a distillery in chicago that made it:

I'm a tech founder who has raised money from VCs in India. For some reason, I feel like I know the 'syndicate' you're talking about. If you're okay sharing, are they Mumbai-based?

After running my co. for over half a decade, I wouldn't touch these investors with a 10-ft pole. "Helping you raise" does not justify the additional equity being sought.

If your friend isn't in dire need of money, I'd recommend avoiding being invested in by these investors and instead, only going after Tier-1 VC firms.

All in all, this is really bad for the ecosystem.

Another interesting "anomaly" is that the same concept can be expressed both with 漢語 (kango: Chinese-origin vocabulary) and 和語 (wago: Japanese-origin vocabulary). Kango is mostly nouns but one can easily add する (to do) and turn a noun into a verb. So, for example, if one wants to say "to compare" there's both kango version: 比較する (hikaku suru) and wago version: 比べる (kuraberu).

Usually kango sounds a little bit more formal and used in writing more often but plenty of them are also used in casual contexts. However, even though they often share a common character, the reading is different (onyomi for kango and kunyomi for wago). Non-native speakers need to basically learn both versions separately and one cannot easily deduce one from another (which is the case for example in English: comparison - to compare; or Polish: porównanie - porównać).
I'm much more interested in the rhetorical device, "I stopped reading at X and couldn't take anything after that seriously." It looks like I have some more learning to do before employing it successfully.

> Does it? It’s not like they have to hire someone extra, they just call up someone from the crew

This is a bit of a bizarre argument. Do you think the crew is made up of volunteers? Do you think the number of crew members somehow isn't determined in part by the throughput of tasks crew members are needed to perform? I'm not even sure what you think is going on here.

Yes, that annoyed me. What they really mean is that they claim this rail line will be in operation before CA High-Speed Rail. I find that hard to believe, but I would be happy to be surprised.
Is there any country or international line on the entire planet that attempts to have a serious discussion about the merits of a 6-12 hour+ train ride versus flying? High speed trains reduce the need for any other form of transportation where someone could reasonably waste a full day in the car. Nobody is trying to justify a train trip over one of the widest countries in the world.
