Aside your point: It does look like she is wearing lipstick tho, to me. More likely lip balm. Her (unaltered) lips have specular highlights on the tops that suggests they're wet or have lip balm to me. As for the makeup, not sure there. Here cheeks seem rosy in the original, and not sure what you're referring to beyond that. Perhaps her skin is too clear in the AI version, suggesting some type of foundation?

I know nothing of makeup tho, just describing my observations.
A lot of this is a parable about what is wrong with the tech industry, which rewards dominance and market seizure rather than utility, longevity, and other consumer benefits.

Car makers what "differentiation". Uh huh. That is literally, exactly, what consumers do NOT want or benefit from.

I want consistency so that I can get in a rental car, or my friend's car, or my new car,

Burning the American flag does not make for a traitor. It makes for an individual expressing the greatest right we have — freedom of speech.

Suppressing freedom of speech is the most anti-American stance one could take.
what does it matter if that ends up being the case with the transportation p2p networks too?

You are imagining one way for this to work and then claiming it wont make good business sense, when that is clearly not the only option.

Browsers and spam filters look at the AS of the sending IP address, so if the other addresses in the same IP range send spam, host malware or engage in phishing, browsers and spam filters hit your address too, more or less. There are ways to lessen and even avoid that, one of which is to change to a different vendor, one that isn't committed to keeping the customers that generate the poor reputation.

I wonder how they plan to deal with that. I wonder whether if they even know about it.
One good reason is that 99.9% of the world population does not own a computer powerful enough to inference ChatGPT or GPT-4.
Let's say the CCP were to establish hegemony in the future and even managed to create a bloc of pro-China politicians in US congress. Do you think these notions of free speech will matter then? We've already seen implicit pressure to censor Taiwan or Hong Kong.

Like it or not, your freedom to access whatever software you wish is only really possible because you have a state that is capable of resisting foreign pressure to allow you to do so. This move is very much part of that removing leverage from an explicitly illiberal group. Paradox of Intolerance and so forth. You can pridefully choose to reject that, but I don't think your freedoms will last very long then.

There are open source generators for a ton of languages[1]! We've been reasonably happy with their output for ~5 SDKs over the last few years. We did a massive writeup on our experience at the time[2].

In the end...ongoing maintenance there was still enough of a pain that we made the decision to outsource it. For just one or two SDKs I think we probably would have kept going with it, though.

No, actually we dont. There is no divine mandate that requires us to do that, especially in a scenario where the geopolitical rival is using our credulity to their advantage.
There's nothing wrong with XML or XAML. There's even something to be said for UWP if it hadn't been for the foolish Metro style Microsoft enforced.

Ah, but it is directly applicable no? Showing the issue, even.

Why do you care about relationships at all except for your short/long term emotional needs, safety, etc?

Because #2 then is not actually optimal or perfect then for that stated goal, correct? It isn’t playing to social norms.

#3 and #4 tend to produce better outcomes in that sense. And #4 also can provide useful contextual information on a person, which is necessary for having a real relationship with them.

So isn’t hating these kinds of interactions, actually hating the difficulty you have in meeting emotional/relationship needs naturally? Instead of having of do exhausting rational work all the time while emotionally disliking (or even hating) it for reasons that are nearly impossible to see?

And this discussion is me demonstrating that. Because now you hate me, eh? But not because I’m wrong. But because it’s a truth you don’t know how to change or make better, and for which knowing makes it more painful - as it strips away the comforting self image.

Interestingly, despite what folks say, this also appears to be why a lot of people get so angry when someone offers unsolicited advice.

Because it’s often a solution that could work, if it wasn’t for the problem they had that they can’t seem to fix - because it hurts too much even seeing it.
How can we answer that with such limited information
The point is just because there are times of day where it's more difficult to hail a taxi, doesn't mean taxis are an unviable business practice. It's likely most of these p2p vehicles will be owned by people who use them exclusively for ride hailing.
GPT3 was a 175 bln parameters model. All the big boys are now doing trillions of parameters without a substantial chip efficiency increase. So we are talking about thousands of tons of carbon per model, repeated every year or two or however fast they become obsolete. To that we need to add embedded carbon in the entire hardware stack and datacenter, it quickly adds up.

If it's just a handfull of companies doing it, fine, it's negligible versus benefits. If it starts to chase the marginal cost of the resources in requires, so that every mid to large company feels that a few million $ or so spent training their a model on their own dataset makes them more in competitive advantages, then it quickly spirals out of control hence the cryptocoin analogy. That's exactly what many AI startups are proposing.

Yes, avoiding creating societally-harmful content is what the Gemini "debacle" was attempting to do. It clearly had unintended effects (e.g: generating a black Thomas Jefferson), but when these became apparent, they apologized and tried to put up guard rails to keep those negative effects from happening.
Yesterday you posted about your AI tool so it sounds like you already made your choice? I've never used a web3 app but I have tested a couple of AI apps so from my (limited) point of view the chances to get users is higher with AI.

Well sure, it took time for there to be a large enough installed base of 386s to be willing to release software that wouldn't run a 286. And time to write software that made use of the new modes.

But when you had to retire your 286, it was because it couldn't run 32-bit software. Or because you really needed to multitask some dos stuff.

This completely breaks iframes that use session cookies for authentication. The Storage Access API (https://developers.google.com/privacy-sandbox/3pcd/storage-a...), which is the supposed way around this is very much still a work in progress ("Work is continuing to resolve all remaining blocking issues, before standardizing the API.") - and it seems ridiculous that they'd sunset 3rd party cookies before this is fully baked / supported (not to mention that the UX of the flow is very rough).

I'm really hoping this gets knocked down by regulators. It's really all to do with anti-competitive behavior from google ads, and nothing to do with privacy - all the big players have already long-since moved on, because of ad-revenue has shifted to mobile.

I said "Make a cool game" and it replied with

Creating a full game is a bit beyond the scope of what we can do here,
especially since games typically require a lot of JavaScript and game
logic, not just UI design. However, I can help you design a cool game UI
using TailwindCSS! For example, we can create a simple game landing page
that includes a hero section, game features, and a footer. Let's start
with a basic layout: working on code, 822 characters...

Understandable, but it didn't let me confirm, it just started building a landing page even though I asked for a game.

I never got to see the end result, my demo seconds ran out before it finished making it and the pricing overlay appeared.

However, I realized you can just Inspect Element and delete the pricing overlay and use the product as much as you want haha. So the second time around I said "design a basic landing page" and after several minutes it rendered what looks like a very stripped down default page with an image at the top and text sections with a copyright of 2023.

Feedback: IMO it should not be a 5 minute timer, but just limit them to ~3 generations. And should move the validation to the backend, so people can't just delete the overlay and use the service for free (I could Block Element in AdBlocker and never see it again). Beyond that I would just iterate on quality.

Thanks for sharing, it could be very good if it was faster and had a little higher quality outputs.
That sounds different than a co-op. The interesting and tricky part about a co-op is navigating entry and exit.
I'm eternally confused as to why other countries don't do this. The Manhattan Project resulted in so many great minds, purely due to the cross-pollination of all those geniuses in such a small place. You'd think any nation state would be gunning for the same advantage.

Interesting, how common is this in your experience?
How will the LLMs be used for this? They can't solve captchas, and they're not smart enough to navigate the internet by themselves. All they do is generate text.
Why not restrict it everything to be local server and have IT monitor and restrict traffic outside the country
The source code they're talking about is not the training code. The only thing I saw released was their inference code and weights. You can verify this by visiting the following:

https://github.com/Snowflake-Labs/snowflake-arctic/tree/main

https://huggingface.co/Snowflake/snowflake-arctic-base

https://huggingface.co/Snowflake/snowflake-arctic-instruct

To put it another way, when they share the weights for the model, that's like sharing the compiled output for some software - like releasing an executable instead of the source code that can produce the executable. They aren't sharing the things you need to produce the weights (the training code, training data, any preprocessing code, etc). Without those inputs you actually cannot even audit or verify how the model works. The team making the model might bias the model in all sorts of ways without your knowledge.
You dont need intelligence to have a startup that succeeds. I bet that within this thread, there are users who have ideas that can become mutltimillion companies. All it would take is someone who knows how to navigate the business space to set up funding and talk to the right people in the right way to make sales.

Success in startup space is more about motivation in terms of pushing harder than others, and support system that gives you a higher chance to make correct decisions.

The Snowden leaks were bad because they exposed a lot of 100% legal, directly part of their charter activity by the NSA, like monitoring the communications of foreign leaders and other non-US persons.
You have points here and I'm not discrediting them, but this still reads like you are blaming the maintainer.

They don't have any obligation to put up with improper conduct and pointing out improper conduct is a totally fair thing for them to do. I don't think they mean for internet users to go hunt that person down, but I also don't see why it's their obligation to try to protect them. If the user didn't want to be criticized back, or cannot handle the light and fair criticism that people posted in that issue, then they maybe should have not thrown the stone in the first place?

My the point is it feels out of place to blame the maintainer for this, in my opinion. If they want to say "hey this is unacceptable, and here is specifically what is unacceptable" that is totally fair game.

I feel like this type of calling out unacceptable actions is not done enough and we really should start to do it more to signal that it's not ok to be so rude to someone providing you free stuff.
Don't know why you got downvoted, 100% correct.

The Storage Access API is an unmitigated pile of garbage. Google's page on it admits as much (https://developers.google.com/privacy-sandbox/3pcd/storage-a...).

Ask HN: Local server, Global client – What am I missing?
I'm thinking about various deployment options for this client-server product my small team is making. OnPrem and SaaS comes with their own pros and cons, and this hybrid approach seems like a good middle ground.

This is what I am thinking of:
We would package our python server that the user installs on their machine. The user then opens our internet hosted web client. The client calls APIs at localhost:5000.

The customer is happy because their files never leave their machine. We get real time analytics of what the user is doing with our product. We get to push fixes to the client quickly and conveniently. The server responds to our client only because we set the allowed origins.

I've been playing around with a POC and it works without issues so far. However I know that I'm definitely not the first person to think about this. Yet I do not recall seeing any product that is deployed like this. This leads me to believe there are some big issues with this idea which I seem to to be missing.

What are those issues? Have you seen/done something like this?

I would say not doing AI research (or buying another big company that does) is tantamount to dropping the ball on AI, if it turns out that AI is a capability they should have had and must have to succeed.

You could argue that publishing research is not the same thing as doing it. But they don't seem to have done much of it until fairly recently.

I agree that Apple does less research than other big tech companies. But they do it where they think it matters. Their M-series CPUs are more than just integration and polishing. And they have been doing some research in health AI as well, I think.
Isn't a coop just an employee owned company?
I agree. Grammar matters. "Just do this one thing" is worthless blather while "do just this one thing, then consider next steps" is a necessary call to focus.

Does he seriously think the US SCOTUS is going to override the will of 79 senators, for the sake of a company with documented ties to the Chinese Communist Party?

If I was a senator, I would consider that almost treasonous. Frankly, even if you disagree with the vote, a democracy can and should be able to make such judgement calls. At that rate, the CCP should be able to buy beachfront property in California, ship military and nuclear weapons to the property, and claim that we can’t stop them because they paid the import fees.

What role community plays in free software
Snowflake has only released the inference code - meaning the code you need to "run" the model. So if you take the weights they have released (which is the model that is a result of training), you can host the weights and inference code, and feed prompts to it, to get answers. But you don't have the actual source code you need to produce the weights in the first place.

As an example of what open source actually means for LLMs, you can look at what AI2 does with their OLMo model (https://allenai.org/olmo), where each model that they release comes with:

> Full training data used for these models, including code that produces the training data, from AI2’s Dolma, and WIMBD for analyzing pretraining data.

> Full model weights, training code, training logs, training metrics in the form of Weights & Biases logs, and inference code.

> 500+ checkpoints per model, from every 1000 steps during the training process, available as revisions on HuggingFace.

> Evaluation code under the umbrella of AI2’s Catwalk and Paloma.

> Fine-tuning code and adapted models (with Open Instruct)

> All code, weights, and intermediate checkpoints are released under the Apache 2.0 License.

OLMo is what "truly open" is, while the rest is openwashing and marketing.
