I'd like to repost this as a top-level comment because a lot of people are complaining about the same thing:

It's a common misconception that Airtags and similar products are designed to help you locate stolen items.

They not. "Tracker on stolen device" and "Tracker planted for the purposes of stalking" are indistinguishable situations.

They're to help you find things that you lost. They're amazing for that. They're sometimes helpful for finding stolen things too, but that is a side-effect.
GPT-4 only started training roughly at the same time/after the release of GPT-3.5, so I'm not sure where you're getting the "intentionally smaller".
Spam in GPT-4o Tokenizer
Yeah you wish that would work.

All the bad actors will do is steal someone else's credentials. Just like they do now. You still won't figure out who they are. They'll set up networks of fake names, fake friends, fake businesses, fake pages, fake comments, fake posts. They're not going to just roll over and start doing shady shit in their own names.
Right, and they are called the 1% for a reason, if the rich voted for the rich and the poor for the poor the overwhelming win would be for the poor. Many Americans believe they are temporarily embarrassed millionaires.
"Once the Guardia Civil obtained the iCloud email address, the documents show that it requested information from Apple, which in turn provided a full name, two home addresses and a linked Gmail account."

People fume and fret about startups wasting capital like it was their own money.

GPT and all the other chatbots are still absolutely magic. The idea that I can get a computer to create a fully functional app is insane.

Will this app make me millions and run a business? Probably not. Does it do what I want it to do? Mostly yes.
> For any product, users should be free to use it for any (legal) use they see fit.

None of these companies ever agreed to be bound by that value, and aren’t under any obligation to adhere to the tenets of Hacker culture. Hackers as a group have failed to convince the public that these things matter, so as far as these businesses are concerned, they don’t.

Like, I agree, it sucks when companies restrict what I can do with a device. But when that happens I don’t talk about it like they betrayed me, I knew what I was buying and decided to buy it anyway.
> the University of Minnesota did their best to help kill Gopher when they tried to license it for commercial use.

They didn't just "help" kill gopher. They assassinated and buried it. As soon as they announced this, most people dropped gopher like it was radioactive waste. It was widely perceived as greedy overreach by almost everyone else.
I think a lot of the style in older and modern pieces comes from the technology of the time.

Lots of those cabinets are ornate, because designing with panels allows for the growing and shrinking wood with temperature and humidity. The joints were also complicated, for the same reasons and to deal with the limitations of fasteners.

Centuries ago, if someone had duplicated an ikea design out of solid wood, it might come apart quickly because of the wood growing and shrinking, and the limits of old fasteners and simple joints.

It's ok to dislike ikea furniture, but remember that it is sophisticated in many hidden ways. The materials used are dimensionally stable, the fasteners are advanced, everything comes in a large flat boxes, and it can be assembled by most purchasers.

That said, there is some amazing furniture that has been built by hand. I also like those "hidden compartment" pieces you sometimes see.
We agree. We plan to bring Iceberg support as a first-class citizen as soon as we can, but unfortunately the support in Rust these days is still limited. We and the community are working on it
The full comment is right there, we don't need to seance what the rest of it was or remix it.

> Arguably, it is the other way around: they aren’t focused on appealing to those biases, but driven by them, in the that the perception of language modeling as a road to real general reasoning is a manifestation of the same bias which makes language capacity be perceived as magical

There's no charitable reading of this that doesn't give the researcher's way too little credit given the results of the direction they've chosen.

This has nothing to do with biases and emotion, I'm not sure why some people need it to be: modalities have progressed in order of how easy they are to wrangle data on: text => image => audio => video.

We've seen that training on more tokens improves performance, we've seen that training on new modalities improves performance on the prior modalities.

It's so needlessly dismissive to act like you have this mystical insight into a grave error these people are making, and they're just seeking to replicate human language out of folly, when you're ignoring table stakes for their underlying works to start with.

Show HN: C++ Game Programming and Intro to AI Course Lectures on YouTube
Since the beginning of the pandemic in 2020 I have been recording my university lectures for all of my courses and posting them online for free for anyone to watch.

You can click the link for a YouTube playlist, or click the Google Spreadsheet for a breakdown of all the lectures of that course offering.

Here is my standard response for those asking for the assignment files, which I unfortunately do not provide: https://www.cs.mun.ca/~dchurchill/teaching/youtube.txt
It's objectively true that LLMs do not have bodies. To the extent general intelligence relies on being emobodied (allowing you to manipulate the world and learn from that), it's a legitimate thing to point out.
But it may be intelligent. After all you are with a few trillion synapses also intelligent.
Mojo has its foot in the door through compatibility with Python.

Otherwise, there is no reason to pick either when you can do `dotnet add package System.Numerics.Tensors` and access pure C# BLAS that runs at optimal hardware speed that lets you easily implement inference without ever reaching for C or C++. And for GPU-related scenarios there is ILGPU. Now, either is extremely niche compared to Python, but the overall choice will give you great support everywhere, unlike with Chapel or Mojo.
Oh nice. Long live classical ML! Best of luck to you.
WTF are you even talking about, we're talking about understanding and communication not taking actions, navigating an OS and browser, tabs etc are actions, not thoughts or communication. This model isn't taking actions there is no nail to hammer lol, and if their was you'd be smashing a brain into a nail for some reason.
lol that's fair enough. This is a tangent and unrelated to Make - but I also find myself in that situation pretty frequently, since I do a lot of embedded systems and some CI/CD work.

If you find yourself in that situation frequently, I'd recommend one of:

1. Use sshfs to mount your remote target locally on your dev machine, or:
2. Use vscode's remote-ssh mode (if the agent can run on your target).

Vscode's remote-ssh mode is really nice. It's good enough that it single-handedly made me switch from my previous editor, and I wish that I knew more tools like it.
Blah blah blah indeed, the hype train continues unabated. The problem is, those are all perfectly valid criticisms and LLMS can never live up to the ridiculous levels of hype.
Playing to Win is a really fun read - definitely a classic. Even if you don't want to buy into its "mindset," the comparisons between chess and Street Fighter legends by one of said legends himself is worth the time.

And the meta discussions such as "What Should Be Banned?" are applicable to things beyond game design.
Butchers are less common than supermarkets, and generally more expensive, but most places have them.
It's a shame most of the people don't even try to learn Haskell because of stereotypes.
Thanks. I's sorry for p/w link.
Yeah, I'm still trying to make sense of this, at all. Lots of technobable flying around and no big picture talk. Why the fuck would Google and Apple work together on this AND trash their tech at the same time. Feels like they are trying to stave off regulation.

Someone will find a way around this. It's too fun of a hack to go unanswered for more than a week. Now only the criminals will have this physical tracking ability (well,them and Apple+Google).
Yes, of course, probably sometime in the following days. Some people mention it already works in the playground.

I was wondering why OpenAI didn't release a smaller model but faster. 175 billion parameters works well, but speed sometimes is crucial. Like, a 20b parameters model could compute 10x faster.
I dunno, the search on Discord is trash. The one time I thought it would be useful to go back and find something, it was completely incapable.
The huge difference between this and your analogy is that 3d printing failed to take off because it never reached mass adoption, and stayed in the "fiddly and expensive" stage. GPT models have already seen adoption in nearly every product your average consumer uses, in some cases heedless of whether it even makes sense in that context. Windows has it built in. Nearly everyone I know (under the age of 40) has used at least one product downstream of OpenAI, and more often than not a handful of them.

That said, yeah it's mostly niche locations like customer support chatbots, because the killer app is "app-to-user interface that's undisguisable from normal human interaction". But you're underestimating just how much of the labor force are effectively just an interface between a customer and some app (like a POS). "Magical" is exactly the requirement to replace people like that.
I think this GPT-4o does have an advantage in hindsight, it will push this product to consumer much faster, and build a revenue base, while other companies playing catch up.
Between this and Eleven Labs demoing their song model, literally doing full on rap battles with articulate words people are seriously slacking on what these models are now capable of for the voice acting/music and overall "art" areas of the market.

Maybe this is yet another wake-up call to startups: wrapping up another company's APIs to offer convenience or incremental improvement is not a via business model. If your wrapper turns out to be successful, the company that provides the API will just incorporate your business as a set of new features with better usability, faster response time, and lower price.
Are you over or under 30?
For a crowd that likes to believe they are more analytical and less emotional than the plebs they sure do take criticism badly.
Can anybody help me try the direct voice feature? I can't find the button for it. Maybe it's not available in Europe yet, I don't know.
What is a human brain without the rest of it's body? Humans aren't brains. Our nervous systems aren't just the brain either.
The whole "cut deep and then replace 10 percent of what you cut" philosophy works great for parts. Kind of toxic to do to human beings.
According to the article, they've rolled out text and image modes of GPT-4o today but will make the audio mode available at a later date.
The ammount of "startups" creating wrappers around it and calling it a product is going to be a nightmare. But other than that, it's an amazing announcement and I look foward to using it!
Cool so ... just ignore the test results and say bullshit lol It's not GPT3.9 many have already said its better than GPT4 turbo, its better than Gemini 1.5 Pro and Opus on Vision recognition. but sure... the price difference is whats new lol

Google Lisp style guide: Use macros when appropriate, which is often. Define macros when appropriate, which is seldom.

Heinrich Taube's "Lisp Style Tips for the Beginner": Beware of macros. They are a very important feature of Lisp but a poorly implemented macro can cause bugs that are very difficult for a beginner to solve. Avoid writing macros until you understand how the Lisp reader and evaluator work. Never write a macro to make things "more efficient".

Guy Steele and Kent Pitman, "Tutorial on Good Lisp Programming Style" [1993]: Decide if a macro is really necessary. [...] Don't use a macro where a function would suffice.*

Carnegie-Mellon Lisp FAQ: Never use a macro instead of a function for efficiency reasons. [...] Don't define a macro where a function definition will work just as well -- remember, you can FUNCALL or MAPCAR a function but not a macro.

I've never seen a book, tutorial or style guide document saying that Lisp coders should be writing lots of macros, and constantly looking for any excuse to write another macro or some such advice.
A year is an eternity in tech and you bloody well know it. A year into an $80 billion dollar valued company's prime hype cycle, and we have... chatbots, but fancier? This is completely detached from sanity.
Has this been observed in other countries too or just in USA/North America? Exposure to various chemicals and food habits are vastly different, if those are the source (which are the first culprits I'd consider) of cancer increase, then numbers should also be very different elsewhere.
My point was not to answer those questions, it was to demonstrate the lack of nuance in the original post.
Yes, I agree with everything you just said. That also contradicts what OP said:

> LLaMA still has an "IP hook" - the license for LLaMA forbids usage on applications with large numbers of daily active users, so presumably at that point Facebook can start asking for money to use the model.

The license does not forbid usage on applications with large numbers of daily active users. It forbids usage by companies that were operating at a scale to compete with Facebook at the time of the model's release.

> They don't care about future companies because by the time the next generation releases, they can adjust the license again.

Yes, but I'm skeptical that that's something a regular business needs to worry about. If you use Llama 3/4/5 to get to that scale then you are in a place where you can train your own instead of using Llama 4/5/6. Not a bad deal given that 700 million users per month is completely unachievable for most companies.
It’s not good example as technicaly you are required to pay the “digital product tax” in many countries outside EU (and more are comming every year).
Actually if you are based in EU paying the EU VAT is the easiest for you because you collect the taxes (just like any ecommerce store would) and use OSS (One Stop Shop) where you pay them to your country along with your native taxes.

You will probably still need MoR because similar schemes GST (australia, canada, india), russia and yes US sales tax. And those would be a lot harder for you to pay than VAT (US sales tax is particularly complicated ad changing).

Now of course you could not care about paying these (unlike EU that would find out quickly) but it could be pretty unfortunate if one gets stopped on trip to Canada about 7 year old unpayed taxes with fines adjusted for inflation…
> I'm not aware of any major use of plastic where going backwards in time is on-net more environmentally friendly.

Literally all of them. They reduce plastic pollution to 0. CO2 pollution is not the driving factor behind plastic reduction.
Luckily we do not need to believe you, we have data from UK and Canada, where people routinely die waiting for care, and get told that care would not improve their QoL enough to have it done. No thanks.

Why do you think people come to USA for the best care when money is no object? Because the profit motive drives the existence of said care.
What is the expectation here? That the companies would refuse to comply with an (apparently legal) governmental information request? What justification would they use?

Wire and especially Proton seem to have gone to the limits of their ability to enable their users to be anonymous, and the weak link was the user's own inclusion of the recovery address.

Obviously Apple (and Google, and Meta, and Microsoft, etc) will have more information about their users, but I don't think it's a common expectation that those kinds of services are anonymous.

If we're unhappy with the outcome here, I think it's a legislative question, not a technical one.
I mean it didn't really ramble he just seemed to be in a rush, and i'm sure you could system message it to provide short concise answers always.
A fixed point attack would allow creating collisions. Whether that's an issue or not depends on your use case, but the answer is going to be yes surprisingly often in my experience.
Working better, but I think some of the old static pages may need to be regenerated?
I think you missed this bit:

Also anecdotal, but we (Spice AI) see more requests for Iceberg, but in practice more deployments of Delta Lake.

> Hackers as a group have failed to convince the public that these things matter

I distinctly remember friends at Apple being surprised, in the aftermath of San Bernadino, at the backlash they received for refusing to break the encryption on the shooter’s phone for the FBI [1].

[1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple%E2%80%93FBI_encryption...
HN had a big discussion on this already last week [0]. Frankly it's a nothingburger and "encrypted services" is pretty irrelevant, beyond yet another reminder that technical privacy and security measures are tools that make opsec possible; they're not opsec all by themselves. Businesses or individuals offering encrypted services aren't breaking the law and somehow actively rebelling against the government of their jurisdiction(s), they're offering tools that others can use for their work/lives in a more privacy preserving manner within the limits of their own abilities. The services and technical measures did their job, in that they did in fact make law enforcement go through the legal path with a specific inquiry vs warrantless mass harvesting, and depend on metadata vs clear text. But the absolute most paranoid fully encrypted anonymous leeching public wifi into Tor into a VPN into Tor again scheme wouldn't somehow prevent a person from just going ahead creating an account leaking their real world information. And recoverability vs side-channel balances will always present tradeoffs.

At 2016-12-31T23:59:59.999Z, 1483228799.999 seconds had elapsed from the epoch, excluding leap seconds, according to "Unix epoch source time".

At 2017-01-01T00:00:00.000Z, 1483228800.000 seconds had elapsed from the epoch, excluding leap seconds, according to "Unix epoch source time".

Now, at 2016-12-31T23:59:60.500Z, how many seconds had elapsed from the epoch, exluding leap seconds? What about 2016-12-31T23:59:60.000Z, or 2016-12-31T23:59:60.750Z? The only monotonic solution is for all of these to have the exact same timesamp of 1483228800.000 seconds. But then that runs into a thousandfold increase in collision probability.

I have been working on a AI "tutor" for kids (6-10) based on the constraints of - no websites, no apps, no ipad/iphone. But after this demo, I need to rethink my entire approach! Maybe these ideas I am holding on to, are just not relevant.

>Given the lack of taxes, Americans have effectively subsidized this charity. Have we gotten anything in return?

1) Opportunity costs are not real costs. Not taking something is different than giving something.

2) The US public and US government also spend money overseas. To that extent, this is a economic multiplier. Instead of collecting $1 in taxes, $5 is spent by private parties.
Doing good “overseas” does benefit Americans. America exists as a part of the world; Americans as part of humanity. Raising the bar for minimum levels of health care and quality of life is good for all of our souls. It also inevitably creates more avenues for economic and diplomatic cooperation.

About 11 minutes in as an aside they look at an example where they're initially mutating a growable array (Rust's Vec, Mojo's List) and now they want to replace it instead.

The narrator (rather than Chris) shows that Mojo makes this fairly easy - we were never promising only to mutate the container, so if we replace it instead that's fine. And they (presumably correctly, I am not a Python expert) say that Python just can't do this.

But they also claim Rust can't do it either, and propose a fairly serious surgery to adjust the function signature instead to write a function which takes and returns ownership.

But you don't need to do that in Rust. We have a mutable reference, Rust doesn't mind us changing what it refers to, it's mutable after all, we just can't move it because it's not ours to move. This is where core::mem::swap, core::mem::take and core::mem::replace enter the picture, they allow us to easily use this capability.

For the example they're explaining you can just core::mem::replace(v, vec![8, 8]); and you're done, the signature doesn't change at all.

I assume you mean information density?
If so programming languages basic information density is set by their amount of keywords and symbols used for parsing.
But there also is implicit density caused by every abstraction - therefor a Lisp can express extremely complex programs with only a few lines of code.
This may also hold true for natural languages when using phrases or metaphors.
