But you can run Cognita as is and you’ll get a fastapi server up and running. With that you can utilize the rest endpoints with your Ruby app.
Arriving at a generally accepted scientific definition of AGI might be difficult, but a more achievable goal might be to arrive at a scientific way to determine something is not AGI. And while I'm not an expert in the field, I would certainly think a strong contender for relevant criteria would be an inability to process information in a way other than the one a system was explicitly programmed to, even if the new way of processing information was very related to the pre-existing method. Most humans playing Wordle for the first time probably weren't used to thinking about words that way either, but they were able to adapt because they actually understand how letters and words work.

I'm sure one could train an LLM to be awesome at Wordle, but from an AGI perspective the fact that you'd have to do so proves it's not a path to AGI. The Wordle dominating LLM would presumably be perplexed by the next clever word game until trained on thinking about information that way, while a human doesn't need to absorb billions of examples to figure it out.

I was originally pretty bullish on LLMs, but now I'm equally convinced that while they probably have some interesting applications, they're a dead-end from a legitimate AGI perspective.
I’m with you. I have no idea how this can be legal, superhuman strength or otherwise. What the hell has happened to due process?

This comment being downmodded in a thread with dozens upon dozens of comments explaining BAFFLING behavior including shit where people are like "yeah I get random notifications all the time asking for my password and I just enter it" is BONKERS, I'm actually softly chuckling at the casual detachment some of yall have about it.
Human consciousness does though, e.g. the flow state. F1 drivers are a good example.

We tend to not experience continuous time because we repeatedly get distracted by our thoughts, but entering the continuous stream of now is possible with practice and is one of the aims of many meditators.
Yes, so true! I listened to the lady at the counter rent out a Tesla and she had no training or clue on how to even open the car, much less operate. I'd pay money for the video of this poor couple, once actually in the car, trying to operate it. When you buy a Tesla, you want to figure out all the features. When you rent a car, you just want to get to the dang hotel before you pee yourself.

Unfortunately, that just leaves you in a low-trust dysfunctional society. The correct response is to make sure that all parties are behaving above board. Engaging in whataboutism just degrades society and honestly I thought most people learned to mature outside of this childish way of thinking after puberty.

While a lot of RAG frameworks like Ragflow, langchain, llama index help in development phase of RAG, Cognita is developed to help productionize them well. In fact, it’s not cognita or others but cognita with others. Cognita leverages existing amazing open source frameworks and helps you organize the code in a manner that is easy to produtionize.

The api endpoints for all modules is a major plus. Besides, the UI for testing out different configurations is helpful for debugging and improvement and sharing with the rest of the world.
> Because they'll make bank off of Hashicorp Cloud Platform

I’m curious what you think IBM will do differently to make bank, considering Hashicorp failed to make bank from their cloud platform offerings.
What is far more likely (though still small in probability) is that some states decide to secede.

Probably far more likely than actual states seceding is that many individuals will 'secede'. Think along the lines of Republicans vs. Democrats (for example) rather than California vs. Washington. As the ideological groups win over territory they will progress to more 'normal' territorial warfare.

Probably a good analogy would be the 'White Russians' vs. the 'Red Russians' civil war back in the 1920s.

Interesting study! The results are not surprising:

One of the plus of platform cohesion is that you don’t have to learn the same thing twice while you’re on the same platform. I know that as soon as I press CMD+<Comma>, I get in the settings of the app. Option+CMD+T, will toggle the toolbar if they have any, and you can customize it to your liking. But today, applications wants you to live in their space, so they make things harder to switch from it. No one cares that Discord on Windows looks the same as on macOS, as most people only use one platform, if you have to hunt for everything as it doesn’t want to use the menubar.

And for app updates, people do. I can hold on on updates until I’m sure it’s good to use. You spend a month not using a web app, and it’s become something alien.
In democracies, the population decides what favors them, and the government enacts their will via regulation. Without regulation, some companies will abuse their customers when profitable to do so, often dominating over the companies that do not.
Using bash builtins and not binutils introduces some quirks of how globbing, IFS and $var expansion interacts. I tend to prefer worked examples use Bourne shell and are explicit about builtins vs bin utils.
interesting. i moved around as a kid a lot too, and later as an adult as well. but i have the totally opposite reaction. as a kid i didn't have any friends because of the frequent moving. but i love exploring, and now i feel at home everywhere i go. every place creates new memories, and i make new friends. especially going back to any place a second time always feels like coming home to me. whereas getting to a new place fills me with a sense of adventure. moving to a new city or country is like exploring a new neighborhood in my hometown. i guess the key point is that i feel as connected to the place where i am now as to the places where i grew up. effectively, the whole planet is my home.
I can’t speak for the OP, but a “rotor” can mean the brake rotor on a disc brake, which can warp due to excessive use/heat. They are common on most cars, and usually need to be “turned” (ie. machined to be flat) when they are out of tolerance.
Depends on how many people die in the apocalypse.

In general, tech requires specialization. (You don't have people who are devoting most of their time to something else who are also producing critical components of our tech tree - the exception being some open-source components.)

Specialization requires enough people that you can put at least one person in each specialty (plus enough to grow food to feed all those specialists).

So you can't create CPUs below a certain population level, whether or not the people remember the scientific knowledge that it all requires.
That question cuts both ways. How many lives did Weinstein and Cosby and Savile destroy? (And look how tough it was to nail them, and keep it that way.) What about the victims whose attackers are good at avoiding hard evidence?

The basic legal standard is crimes/torts in court have to be proven. English law violates it in defamation cases.
What would you have EMS personnel do when faced with excited delirium? Please let me know, all ears!
Wrong. That description was meant to provide context to the story. Vs the alternative: getting some foreign oversees call center agent who doesn’t speak English as a first language and doesn’t truly care about my account, as many companies use. When I said quality, I meant professional and helpful at the same time as an employee. Her being female was of no consequence and that’s your own projection.

Building a Startup – A Primer for the Individual Contributor – Free PDF
Author here, I wanted to give the community a free pdf access to my recently published book. I'm happy to answer any questions or comments if people have them.

The book is an amalgamation of 20 years of experience in and around startups and things I wish I knew before going out and building stuff from scratch.

Hopefully someone can skip past my failures and have new and more interesting failures of their own :p

Plug in hybrid, not pure BEV, but my 2014 GM Volt has 275K on it, have had to do minimal maintenance. Probably use 80-90% on battery only, few road trips where I've used gas.

I have a BEV as well, and I have to say - I don't understand why the PHEV market didn't take off. All the savings for daily trips, and the convenience of gas to never think about range anxiety.

Ask HN: Why can't Nvidia compete in the inference market?
Hey HN!
Lately I have been thinking about how the inference market will involve. We saw that llama 3 with groq was showing great results. Once question I had was why can't nvidia compete in the inference market? In the video below chamath was saying how nvida won't be able to compete in inference.

is here just chilling his bag or are there some truth to this? What are fundamental reason that this would be the case?
No I wasn’t impressed by that part Lol it actually terrified me badly because the Mac is still the single most important tech item I own, imagine if it was a $1600 Googlebook and locked on a brand new Google account. Who do you call? Anyways I accept partial fault for registering a sketchy mailbox name and using a name such as Unknown Name. But then again, perhaps it’s possible for a legal person to have that name so theoretically it could be legitimate. Not sure if any jurisdiction would allow a person to make their name that.
> Most Fortune 500 companies have (I am extrapolating wildly here since I haven’t worked at all of them) email retention policies that specify that emails will not be kept past a certain time after reception.

Those policies are suspended for materials subject to a litigation hold, whether triggered by actual or reasonably foreseen litigation or an active investigation for which they have been notified to preserve evidence (which is mostly a formalized case of reasonably foreseen litigation) and if they aren’t, the company can be sanctioned for destroying evidence (and adverse inferences can be drawn from the destruction of evidence in the litigation, separate from the penalties for destroying evidence.)

> It’s weird that if the companies had a policy to immediately delete them it would be “bad” but if they delete them after 30 days due to “storage” reasons and a clear, global, openly stated policy, it’s OK.

Actually, deleting either way would be sanctionable where a retention requirement of the type at issue applies.
Much better, but still missing "than" after "greater", which seems kind of critical.

"Using" is important as a number greater than ten can't be written as a digit, but can be written using digits ("with" would be just as good). Repeating "written" makes it clearer that there are two instructions.

TBH Hertz having EV is a good thing for me as a customer because they are cheap. It’s difficult to rent a gas car for $50/day near NYC but they are renting out EV at this rate. Although recharging is a hustle, I tried several times and never get a Tesla, and there’s no enough fast charger for other brands.
WhatsApp is on IOS tho, they are hiding from the wolf in the wolf den.
I think it's the opposite. No one will be driving except the elite class. That's all EVs are a transition to - an elite status.

Mandatory EVs will remove the access of freedom of movement that the lower and middle classes came to enjoy in a way that use to be impossible le
Pretty good deals to be had buying an EV from Hertz. I bought one a few weeks back; they had a bunch to choose from and some had low miles and in near mint condition, with little or no apparent wear, priced near the bottom of KBB.
> but in almost all cases I find Internet scraping to be unethical and downright malicious.

The Web (you said the "Internet", but you meant the Web) was not envisioned to be a commercial space. Your statement is antithetical to the original idea of the open Web. It's when the MBAs joined the party circa 2k and decided to profit out of it that all of these confused and wrong opinions about what the Web should be arose and that lead to the situation today. Your statement is a vast display of zero historical context. MBAs are obviously not very concerned with history. They just want to protect their own little turd for their own little profit and vanity, which is why they now put it behind a paywall, JS, and anti-bot proxies.
I agree, and how did that happen? It’s incredibly hard to find a painter who will actually paint, even when it takes exactly less time to do it properly than do a thin layer and be summoned to come back( Did we go to far into commoditizing everything, such that people don’t care about their reputation anymore, and don’t care about the poor schmocks who will have to live in half-built houses, and therefore, the only important thing is the plausibility that the job was performed?

> Mainstream medicine does not recognise the label as a diagnosis: it is not listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders or the International Classification of Diseases, and is not recognized by the World Health Organization, the American Psychiatric Association, the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Emergency Medicine, or the National Association of Medical Examiners.

> In 1985, an article titled "Cocaine-induced psychosis and sudden death in recreational cocaine users", co-authored by deputy chief medical examiner for Dade County, Florida, Charles Victor Wetli. The article was published in the Journal of Forensic Sciences and reported that in five of the seven cases they studied, deaths occurred while in police custody.

> In 1988, Wetli claimed that a series of nineteen women, all Black prostitutes, had died of the condition due to "sexual excitement" while under the influence of cocaine, but police later announced they had found a serial killer responsible for those deaths.
on item 1 the peripheral itself can be the webserver (although that does come at a hardware price)
There are quite few technical reasons people pony up the app store overhead instead of make a PWA. Performance, UX, lack of standards. PWAs are popular but how often do you see comments bemoaning the use of web stacks and pining for native apps?
What does due process have to do with subduing combative subjects, preventing persons from harming themselves or others, or other lawful uses of force? Due process doesn't come into whether or not a police shooting is justified, for example. Or the use of a Taser, nightstick, carotid restraint, pepper spray, or a simple arm bar.
You can. It is actually relatively hard to do though unless you are extremely motivated.

Where you have to find a setting in mac / windows as well as configure your browser (chrome) for it, by using an obscure icon in the address bar etc.. and then you can have some apps fighting for you to change the setting. And then it depends on which browser profile is currently active. It is pretty messy to say the least
What Apple's done is also violating antitrust laws, which has gotten them in trouble with the DOJ recently. And it's about time. They are a business, but an abusive anti-competitive one that has serious lock-in that bars competitors from their platform for no good reason other than to make even more money. They also forbid some apps because Apple releases something similar, and they don't want any competition. If they did allow competition they might not have made so much money, but they also wouldn't be the subject of major lawsuits in the US and in the EU.
LaTeX is very much an open format, or, rather, it is no format—it's just plain text. It can be very hard to look at a LaTeX document and be guaranteed to know what the symbols means, because included packages, and even the document itself, can change the meaning of any symbol, but the document itself is just plain text.
I want to toggle this off, but if I do, making an app full-screen on one display makes the other displays turn black. This is too annoying for me.

This is related to the "full-screen apps pretend they are their own space" Mac OS behavior. I wish the toggle turned that off too.
I’m personally not interested in using LLMs in my work, but I’d push back on this. A good idea can also synthesize a number of existing concepts into a new one, and LLMs appear to be well-suited to pattern recognition.
Interesting, is that in the US? I’ve never heard of that being required by law in the UK. I think it’s just an Apple thing here. I mean we obviously have laws about refunds etc but I don’t think we have any law saying you can open any product and start using it and then return it even if you have no complaint with it.
For simple things, make is fine. It does file caching and the GNU tool does parallel concurrency.

For anything needing light-to-moderate software configuration management, cmake is readily available and simple.

If you're running a Google then you're using a build and DVCS that make use of extensive caching, synthetic filesystems, and tools that wrap other tools.

I won't say what not to use. ;)
So the question is now whether they also come back this time as they did before, or whether this time it’s for good.
Intel mostly dominated thank to the monopoly practices.

AMD was better in 2002-2004 on Opteron times ... but Intel just paid 'manufacturers' to use Intel instead in their offering.

Current AMD ZEN/Ryzen is just too strong to make that happen again.

I would say 'fuck intel' but I also like the fact that Intel was the first one to offer open source GPU drivers ...
Don't be ridiculous. Hertz is a for-profit corporation. They're not intentionally trying to lose money in order to sabotage EVs as some sort of grand conspiracy. They're just incompetent.

I’m totally ignorant on this subject so do you mind saying why that is?

The xbox team thoroughly disagrees with this statement.
I mean if the feds can't win on the Amazon Business Services Agreement being written by Amazon Legal and stipulates most favored nation status when it comes to pricing, what the fuck are they actually doing? Who cares what messages exist? The crime is in writing in a forced click-wrap agreement ticked by every Amazon Seller.
Literally none of those things affect me except RTO, and we're "only" 3 days/week, so it isn't that bad.
It is actually the other way around.

If EU did not mindlessly toady along Washington’s imperial goals, it would have a reliable low cost commodity and energy supplier and European economy would be competitive and not be where it is today.

EU needs an independent foreign policy that maximises its own strategic interests.
But the problem is EU is not a homogenous country. So it is unlikely to happen.
> Everyone knew Android was supposed to be the response to google having to keep stashes of j2me devices in drawers, which is ironically what everyone ended up needing to do with Android devices.

It was still a better situation. An Android app might need tweaks but at least you're dealing with the same SDK/API (maybe with proprietary extensions?)

Those J2ME phones felt like you needed to start from basically scratch for each phone model.
The same is happening with air travel.
It's literally the headline of the article. But yes, the article doesn't go into detail about capturing and executing people on the spot.
Likely because they don't make inference accelerators, they make GPUs. It's entirely plausible that someone could optimize the hardware pipeline better by incorporating less complex logic; I wouldn't expect Nvidia to try that though, not with their main products.
Rejection is usually something the IRS can suss out immediately when you e-filing such as incorrect SSN for dependents. Correction letters are just form letters from automated audits, usually forgetting to input a 1099 misc from some bank account.
