I don't think that is true, but am open to learning otherwise.

A quick review of Wikipedia indicates dimethylol ethylene urea (DMEU) is used to crosslink the cellulose polymers itself.

Cotton is already a polymer (albeit a bio-degradable one). DMEU is not a polymer/plastic in its own right.

As far as I was able to see, permanent press is biodegradable.

I really would like to hear the actual-actual story here, since it is basically impossible it actually was "Google let customer data be completely lost in ~hours/days". This is compounded by the bizarre announcements - UniSuper putting up TK quotes on their website, which Google doesn't publish and also doesn't dispute.

if a massive client came and said "hey our thing is completely broken", then there would have been a war room of SREs and SWEs running 24/7 over two continents until it wasn't.
Huh, nice, 404 media has a podcast. Gonna have to check this out.

Curious about mic and cam permissions in modern smartphone and web. All of that is pretty locked down, but I wish there were a more standard way to know when an app is accessing sensitive hardware.
Fwiw, you can use JSX without React.

Another project on the HN homepage at the moment happens to do this: https://www.val.town/v/maxm/staticChess

const { renderToString } = require('react-dom/server')

renderToString(<ul>{[1, 2, 3].map(n => <li>{n}</ul>)}</div>)

Granted, you have to configure it so that JSX is allowed in your JS. For example, by running your code as `tsx server.js`, but I find it so much better than Pug/Nunjucks of yore that it makes up for that downside.
Big spiders neither stop nor start. If each webpage gives you on average 200 new urls, you need to aggregate them, calculate ranks and schedule the top 0.5% for crawling. Crawling capacity is constant, the only question is the quality of your ranking formula.
This reminds me of Hotline[0]. Chat, message board, file sharing. Late 90's, early 2000's, but apparently there is still a small community around it going.

Super easy to run your own server to host content from a desk/laptop and super easy to use a client to visit other servers. You could find servers using trackers (name severs that kept track of hotline servers) or keep the server private and only give out the server info to people you want.

Chess960 also has different castling rules from normal chess though, and the site can't know it should use those just from the FEN?
> It’s not perfect but the amount and types of data this will collect will be massive.

This is particularly concerning. Sharing deeply personal thoughts with the corporations running these models will be normalized, just as sharing email data, photos, documents, etc., is today. Some of these companies profit directly from personal data, and when it comes to adtech, we can be sure that they will exploit this in the most nefarious ways imaginable. I have no doubt that models run by adtech companies will eventually casually slip ads into conversations, based on the exact situation and feelings of the person. Even non-adtech companies won't be able to resist cashing in the bottomless gold mine of data they'll be collecting.

I can picture marketers just salivating at the prospect of getting access to this data, and being able to microtarget on an individual basis at exactly the right moment, pretty much guaranteeing a sale. Considering AI agents will gain a personal trust and bond that humans have never experienced with machines before, we will be extra vulnerable to even the slightest mention of a product, in a similar way as we can be easily influenced by a close friend or partner. Except that that "friend" is controlled by a trillion dollar adtech corporation.

I would advise anyone to not be enticed by the shiny new tech, and wait until this can be self-hosted and run entirely offline. It's imperative that personal data remains private, now more than ever before.

that means not on the same cloud infra as the rest of it, but also means different creds and different access paths.

as long as they are accurate I do not mind. I was annoyed that as women who is also an engineer google's ad profile always insisted I was a single man.

If you are going to show me targeted ads please make them ads I want to see.

Me? Right now, checking the weather is two thumb presses, one to unlock the phone and one to click the weather app tile. I could add a widget to the home screen and make that one click. It's probably possible to make the lock screen show weather and then it's zero clicks. And I can do it just as easily and just as well in an extremely loud place when the phone is unlikely to hear me, when I have a sore throat and don't want to talk, when I'm awake at 4 AM laying in bed and my wife is next to me and I don't want to make any noise (which, incidentally, is to me far and away why autoplay videos are the rudest thing to ever hit the web).

I can't take a photo and look at it with a personal assistant - or watch a movie, play a game, read a book, draw a painting, compose music, learn for school, or look at a map. We will use them differently, take them out of pocket much less, but the devices are going to stay.

The Watch is a very obvious one imho - it's a fashion item, tracks your health and it's always handy when you need to look at it or talk to it. iPhone might be mostly replaced by the Watch but still some people really like to take photos or dislike wearing watches. And the iPad is hard to replace as a multimedia and gaming device.

You might be right about the Mac - which is why I didn't talk about it.
If you are looking for InstructLab, mentioned in the article: https://github.com/instructlab
This can't set alarms, timers, play music, etc. The only current overlapping use case I see is checking the weather (assuming GPT-4o can search online), and Siri is already fine for that.

I just tested out using GPT-4o instead of gpt-4-turbo for a RAG solution that can reason on images. It works, with some changes to our token-counting logic to account for new model/encoding (update to latest tiktoken!).

I ran some speed tests for a particular question/seed.
Here are the times to first token:

gpt-4-turbo:

* avg 3.69

* min 2.96

* max 4.91

gpt-4o:

* avg 2.80

* min 2.28

* max 3.39

That's for the messages in this gist:

Quality seems good as well. It'll be great to have better multi-modal RAG!
Your anecdotal experience mirrors mine too. Could just be some selection bias but it is really uncanny...
> GPUs (7) are the common choice of hardware for training large language models. However, there is a global shortage of GPUs due to the large investment from many countries to train LLMs. Under such circumstances, it is important to show that large language models can be trained using Fugaku, which uses CPUs instead of GPUs. The CPUs used in Fugaku are Japanese CPUs manufactured by Fujitsu, and play an important role in terms of revitalizing Japanese semiconductor technology.
It uses the FEN, which is the standard notation for chess positions.

And it's the right choice, IMO -- if two positions are the same they should have the same URL, regardless of the specific move order used to reach it.
We can ensure adequate supply of basic necessities... to the standard of the 1960's (food choices and availability, houses, cars, medical care, entertainment options etc). Problem is that someone living 1960's lifestyle would be considered poor today. And if old people realize that they are going to have a "poor lifestyle" in their retirement, a lot of political problems will follow.
Yep. Since it’s multimodal. Pictures, text, audio all go into token space.
Until I see an actual demo of this, I'm calling bullshit for what I think should be obvious reasons. Every device maker (Apple, Google, Samsung, etc.) has a huge vested interest in ensuring that any random app on your device can't listen to your conversations without explicit permission. So if this were actually happening, it must be one of the following things:

1. There is a 0-day in iOS or Android that is allowing this to happen. This could certainly happen, but would obviously be patched as soon as it was discovered. And if this 0-day did exist I think a lot more money could be made selling this to state actors instead of as a rando marketing tool.

2. There is some app that is being nefariously marketed as something innocuous, but then is actually selling your background conversation data. Also possible, but if discovered Apple, Google, etc. would still have a vested interest in kicking them off their devices.

3. There are some shitty devices that are sold that have always-on microphones. Also a possibility but wouldn't have the reach of devices from major manufacturers.

So, to Mindsift and CMG, I say "put up or shut up".
I did and regardless of the underlying technology it is, in fact, an improvement to an existing product - not something new from whole cloth.

If they had released a search engine, which had been suggested, that would be a new product.

> I think it “understood” the question because it “knew” how to write the Python code to get the right answer.

That’s what makes me suspicious of LLMs, they might just be coincidentally or accidentally answering in a way that you agree with.

Don’t mean to nitpick or be pedantic. I just think the question was really poorly worded and might have a lot of room for confirmation bias in the results.
I'm not sure where you're getting O(logn) from here. If it couldn't work that way when a container can grow and shrink, then arrays wouldn't be able to have both amortized O(1) push and pop as they do in most relevant implementations.

As long as the expensive O(n) resize operation happens at some frequency relative to the size of the container rather than every constant size difference (i.e. capacity doubles when length == capacity and halves when length == capacity/2) then it will amortize out to O(1).

Couple of questions:
1. You link to fair.io but it seems there isn't a latest license there only a legacy version. Do you know what the current status is on what seems like a pending version update?

Seems the intermediate level is trash too. Everyone is a senior now after 2-3 years. Nobody wants to acknowledge that a large number of senior devs are really intermediate.
It's one of the reasons I discarded mine.
It's easy to jump to conclusions from this one single meta analysis however based on my experience I would want to see a more deep dive review. I would guess that underreporting, especially in the pre-2010 era after which electronic medical records became much more prevalent, as well as the changeover to ICD10 from ICD9, are likely culprits. Data quality in healthcare today is a D- at best, 20 years ago it was absolute and total garbage. Though this persists today, the excel 65k row limitation and excel date bugs are reponsible for an unimaginable amount of healthcare data destruction.

Up until 2012 even, most CDC reporting was done as manual chart reviews typed into an excel sheet. That was a very error prone process.
This honestly feels kind of silly. Back-of-the-envelope, this training run (13B model on 380B tokens) could be done in two months on a single 8x H100 node using off-the-shelf software, at a cost of around $35K from a cloud compute provider. They don't seem to list training time, but this cluster appears to use ~3.5 MW of power, so it's going to burn something like $500/hr just in electricity costs.

Rust actors and ArcMutex: handle with care
> These are the basic problems ORMs solve splendidly.

Depends on the ORM.

I have noticed that typically, 'unit of work' type ORMs (EFCore and Hibernate/NHibernate as examples) prevent being 'true to the ORM' but 'efficient'.

i.e. Hibernate and EFCore (pre 7 or 8.0ish) cannot do a 'single pass update'. You have to first pull the entities in, and it does a per-entity-id update statement.

> I just fail to see what else would you do, besides implementing a bug-ridden, half-ORM yourself.

Eh, you can do 'basic' active-record style builders on top of dapper as an afternoon kata, if you keep feature set simple, shouldn't have bugs.

That said, I prefer micro-ORMs that at most provide a DSL for the SQL layer. less surprises and more concise code.
Charm? Django and Rails.

Future? JavaScript. Or Python or Ruby or C# or anything else you're productive in, if you prefer.

Anyone can make such moves.

The idea that reading is not passive is not at all original. After all, authors are not “active” (and often do not exist), and books can't read themselves. A reader's head is needed for anything at all to happen, and that's the only “active” part at a given moment. There's enough words written about what's happening on the receiving side, the mirror of someone's “creative process”.

So called “passive consumption” should be defined as repetition of the usual, unchallenging, satisfying work (as opposed to trying hard to understand something). I have no idea what the book is about, but it must better be critical to a swindling which turns human beings into “dumb masses” instead of being based on it.

Also, there's mechanical reproduction side to it. Recorded music might be inferior to a concert in some ways, same with printed pictures and photos. But written text is also only a 2D projection of a conversation or performance. Many thinkers in human history wrote very little, and even actively disdained written accounts of their words. This is how that active-passive rift can be bridged.

Yeah, I'm not really up to speed on how plastic turns into microplastic and how that might work with coated cans either, but it's a fair question to ask.

I think one argument against glass is the transportation cost (dollars or carbon, take your pick) on a grams of packaging to grams of product basis. Plus the added volume of both the glass and the packaging required to keep breakage manageable, which is volume that isn't being devoted to product either. A case of wine is 6^H (edit: can't math) 9 liters of wine, whereas a 24 pack of beer in 350ml cans is 8.5 liters is less overall volume and mass.

It seems insane to me that you can get a glass bottle of wine from another hemisphere for a single-digit or low double digit number of dollars. Just melting the sand to make the glass seems like it should cost a couple bucks.
