It’s too easy to make a tool
like this to charge that much.

Several other people have posted similar tools to Hackernews and I made my own personal one in about a week.

So yeah, ironically, gpts have made it way easier to make a basic gui to call some apis :)
I read a comic with a good prediction of what will happen:

1. Humans get used to robots nice communication, so now humans use robots to communicate with each other and translate their speech.

2. Humans stop talking without using robots, so now its just robots talking to robots and humans standing around listening.

3. Humans stop knowing how to talk, no longer understands the robots, the robots starts to just talk to each other and just keep the human around as pets they are programmed to walk around with.
Chatbots tell people what they want to hear
But technology has secondary effects that you can't just dismiss. Sure, it is fascinating that a computer embedded into a mechanical robot can uphold one end of an engaging conversation. But you can't ignore the fact that simply opens the door towards eventual isolation, where people withdraw from society more and more and human-to-human contact gets more and more rare. We're already well on the way, with phone apps and online commerce and streaming entertainment all reducing human interactions, perhaps it doesn't bother you, but it scares the hell out of me.
The Japanese equivalent to emoticons are 顔文字 kaomoji, "face characters", and will be familiar as the horizontal ^_^ and (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ type of emotes.
I suspect that most of the calls were for first-aid, not fires. Most fire departments spend the vast majority of their time responding to medical issues unrelated to fires. Boeing has about 67k employees in WA, so equates to ~0.3% of them requiring assistance per month, which is a bit high, but not outrageously so (as they may have rules about requiring trained first aid for any injury or ailment).
Very good point, and one I had heard of, but wasn't considering here.
It also doesn't allow en passant
Just because these capabilities exist doesn’t mean they exist broadly. They may have a few apps in their network that had a reason for the user to provide microphone access and then they exploit it for this. But it’s likely relatively obscure apps that aren’t well scrutinized. They might be able to target hundreds of users with it, and play up the “modern” approach and then do some lookalike thing to pad the audience into something that appears more effective to the customer.

Here's a video.
Two different things, Apple provides a pretty long window of OS updates for each device but doesn't ship updates for older OS versions. For example the 1st gen SE shipped with iOS 9 which has not been getting updates for a few years, but it can run iOS 15 which still seems to be getting security updates.
I am the same person. I mentioned that in my original reply. That’s what I was trying to imply by this comment

I could see the Python in the original link when I asked. It shows up as a clickable link. It doesn’t show when you share it. I had to ask it.
Agreed. I have several web sites with publicly visible email addresses and they don't get much spam.

The spam I get is rather mis-targeted. For a while I was getting spam for equipment which would be useful were I a bulk producer of olive oil. "We have 15 years of experience in the research, development and production of automatic edible oil filling equipment...." There are the usual fake financing deals: "We’ve pre-approved your business for financing..." Whatever sends that crap doesn't look at the web site at all.

When I get spam from Gmail or Outlook accounts, I report it, so they will get a strike against their account. I don't hear from those people again.

All other spam is so obviously bogus that simple filters are dumping it into a junk folder. Most of it seems to be phishing emails. "You have won a (some tool)..." seems to be popular this week.
Well, having AI transform some data into a certain CSV format is orders of magnitude simpler and more straightforward of a programming task than what I try to use it for.

A lot of the discrepancy between people's experiences is simply due to the fact there's there's a massive range of programming complexity/difficulty that people can be trying to apply AI to. If your programming is mostly lower complexity stuff, non-critical stuff, or simply defined stuff, it obviously works better.

I try to use AI when I get stuck on a hard problem/algorithm, hoping that it can provide an answer/solution to unblock me. But when I'm stuck the problem I'm facing is so complicated that there's no chance at all that AI is actually going to be able to help me with it. I see absolutely no point in using AI when I already know how to solve a problem, I just solve it. I only turn to it when I need help, and it can never help me.

> Why does Picard always have to specify temperature preference for his Earl Gray tea?

Completely OT, but, most likely, he doesn’t. Lots of people in the show direct with the replicators more fluidly; “Tea, Earl Grey, Hot” seems like a Picard quirk, possibly developed with more primitive food/beverage units than the replicators on the Enterprise-D.
I'm reminded of people talking about the original iPhone demo and saying 'yeah, but this is all done before ...'. Sure, but this is the first time it's in a package that's convenient.
Yes, exactly. Because when I want to talk about food issues, I "boast" by talking about the scarcity of what is perceived to be a lower quality cut of meat near my location, and how I'm driving to find a shop in a poorer neighborhood to meet my food demands. You nailed it, champ.
They know that it's stateless, of course.

Clearly they have decided it's in their own interests to publicly pretend otherwise.
Have you tried replacing the input string with a random but fixed mapping and obfuscate that its chess(like replace the word 'chess' with say, 'an alien ritual practice') and see how it does?
Apple actually threw in the towel. OpenAI is going to be powering the next version of Siri.
I would just like a way to simplify the iPad OS - my mum uses it to keep in touch with her kids, and when she accidentally enables multi-app mode, it inevitably results in a call to one of her kids to sort it out. Older people - even when they aren't disabled - don't have the fine motor control required to precisely aim their touches/swipes on the screen. She prefers her old iPad because it has a physical button - the swiping up gesture is a bit tricky for her.

I want an iPad that runs one app at a time, no hot corners, no swiping from edges.
At some point in time someone said it about the boomers as well
What are some things that we should be wary of?

Lack of long term commitment.

It makes for a misalignment of interests.

For example, leaving your company and reentering the market as a competitor.

Or keeping leads on the side for their future company.

Think about how your company will be able to make sales once the salesperson leaves.

Good luck.
In the US, private property is probably one of the grayer areas. In practice, posting pictures from a private party is pretty normal--so long as no one says "please don't" which almost no one does in my experience. Obviously there are embarrassing/very private/etc. situations where it's pretty much inappropriate.

But in the US, shooting a casual photo of you in a public park for non-commercial (i.e. not marketing/advertising) purposes is pretty much fair game, especially if I'm not stalking you.

> Like when it thought his face was a desk because it did not update the image it was "viewing".

That's a rather uncharitable way of describing the situation. It didn't say anything like "your face looks like a wooden plank, it's very brown". It clearly understood that the image it was seeing was not matching the verbal request.
I have two airtags on me at all time. So my wife can find my wallet or my keys. I have an android. The iPhone network is larger so Apple seems more useful. And I can do nothing about these alerts.
I have always denied Instagram access to my camera, microphone, photos, and location, on top of disabling background refresh. Sometimes, upon switching to the app, I get this screen: https://i.imgur.com/Sj8Dikg.png

This has always struck me as odd, because it means the app would have started both the camera and microphone if it had permissions, without me clicking the right buttons to get to it.

I'm too lazy right now to see if I can trigger the screen, and whether iOS would show the microphone/camera activity icons, but maybe there's a bug that's actively being exploited by Meta. I don't know how active the microphone stays if it has permissions, but I wouldn't put it past them to send all the data captured by the sensors even if I'm not posting a story. They did it with "status updates" on Facebook back then, when they gathered the data even if I deleted whatever I wrote without posting.

Australian man says border force made him hand over phone passcode
an analog value in such a chip has far, far less resolution than a float32. Maybe you get 16 bits of resolution, more likely 8, and your multiplications are going to be quite imprecise. The whole thing hinges on the models being tolerant of that.
Good to know. I thought Colombians said "banano". That's what a Colombian friend of mine says.
>[Citation needed]

The basic kindergarten math that having your customers need to buy an iPad plus a MacBook to have their needs covered, instead of just an iPad with more power-user features or just a MacBook with a touchscreen, equals more profits for them.

Do you really need a citation that Apple would much rather make more money rather than less?
> Percentages don’t mean anything in temperature unless it is Kelvin where 0 is truly 0.

Well, technically any absolute scale: Kelvin is the most common, but Rankine has the same feature. (It just uses Fahrenheit-sized degrees instead of Celsius-sized.)
The upside though is Hollywood will finally be able to stop regurgitating its past and have stories about the milquetoast AI that found its groove. Oh wait.

Transformers still didn't hit their scaling limits wrt number of tokens trained on and the number of layers. Model size limits are now purely given by finances ($100M/training run still seems to be too excessive).
Dunno if you’d want a conversation partner with the memory of a goldfish though.
Maybe it's an uncanny valley thing, but I hate the fake emotion and attitude in this demo. I'd much rather it tried harder to be bland. I want something smart but not warm, and I can't imagine being frustrated by "lack of drama".
Wow... bookmarked. F-15 Strike Eagle II is one of those games I played the hell out of as a child. So much so I wore out two joysticks that my parents bought as a result.

I was a child so it took me a long time to learn to actually do what the game wanted, and then learn after taking out the targets you got more medals by then bombing or strafing other targets. I don't think I ever got the hang of landing back on the aircraft carrier though.
You’re also scarface_74? Not that there’s anything wrong with sockpuppets on HN in the absence of vote manipulation or ban evasion that I know of, I just don’t know why you’d use one in this manner, hence my confusion. Karma management?

I saw a blue icon of some kind on the link you shared but didn’t click it.
You can always glue two Chipolos together. Interesting that they don't offer such product yet though.
Since it says on the blog that its only images, text and audio input, does GPT-4o likely have a YOLO like model on the phone to pre-process the video frames and send BBoxes to the server?

I thought "plátano" is only used for plantains in Latin America, and Cavendish is typically called "banana" instead. I'm likely wrong, though.
What creeps me out is that this is clearly being done deliberately. They know the computer is not feeling. But they very much want to present it as if it is.
This is an ad for ZenDB.

EDIT: Having reread the paper in full I don't hold this view anymore. Leaving up for reply posterity.
Thank you for this.

I, alongside seemingly everyone else, get frustrated that the OS doesn’t have more complex features. But for most of our moms, it’s probably better for them. The rest of us have macOS, Linux, etc.
I also find it fascinating, though I would say that we're not as highly documented as you might think. Articles and information is deleted and edited out of Wikipedia every second of every day. Mostly due to disagreements about whether a source, citation, or reference is "verifiable enough". For example, the device I have in my possession on which I found these oldest emoji is not proof enough that they exist, at least according to Wikipedia's rules. And then there's the grey area of early 1990s to early 2000s when the internet was still growing but wasn't big enough to contain enough good references, and those links that it did contain are probably long gone. So there's a second set of things that can't go on Wikipedia. Anyway! I think we have a long way to go.
I almost wish there was a law that if an article refers to a study, that they link to the study somewhere. Didn't we get taught in school to cite our sources? I shouldn't have to Google the university names with some related keywords and hope I can find it.
I felt the same, during a low period in my life. Now that I am older, more experienced, and recognize my own contributions to society, I no longer feel this guilt or project it onto others.
I wondered if there might be others but left it up to you to correct me. :)
"outside of the US" its still true.

Outside of the US, do people think that truth can be changed because you aren't in the US? Just deny literally 100+ years of history?

The only way Socialism works is in The Utopia that's never existed.

The real life examples of socialism are authoritarian nightmares. Thinking that outside of the US this isn't still true is an... interesting... attempt to deny history.
Walmart. Walmart is totally the winner in this category. It has all of the grocery store things you mentioned plus mountains of clothing, household goods, mind blowing technology, medicines...

> The signature aspect only ensures you are connecting to the right server, not that the content has been tempered with. It is not PGP.

The “T” in TLS stands for “transport.” It absolutely does guarantee that the content has not been tampered with, unless you don’t trust the website itself (in which case you would trust the PGP key no more or less than you would the website’s certificate).

But regardless, this kind of argument against encryption is just plain bad: there are all kinds of things you might want to do on the Internet that don’t involve passwords or “secret” information that a passive adversary (like a government or ISP) shouldn’t be able to observe. The contents of the political websites you visit, for example. This is especially true on our modern Internet, where observing individual endpoint IPs doesn’t really tell the passive adversary much (thanks to CGNAT and SNI/multiple sites hosted on the same IP).
`“My only defence is to regress to 1985 and travel without a single electronic device, depriving me of my ability to communicate, my livelihood and to even call my airline.”`

There’s an easier way. Just buy a device and keep it in Australia, and cross the border without a phone.
For commercial use at scale, of course cost matters.

For the average Joe programmer like me, GPT4 is already "dirt cheap". My typical monthly bill is $0-3 using it as much as I like.

The one time it was high was when I had it take 90+ hours of Youtube video transcripts, and had it summarize each video according to the format I wanted. It produced about 250 pages of output.

That month I paid $12-13. Well worth it, given the quality of the output. And now it'll be less than $7.

For the average Joe, it's not expensive. Fast food is.
Doubtful, from what i've seen it really seems to be a basic toy bot, it doesn't have a tie in to any big AI models for like putting laundry away which is where the real work remainsi think

Obviously very cool idea and implementation tho! I think the answer to the google question is “probably”
There are a few acquaintance over the years that have been involved in various sectors of social media and various 3 letter government agencies. The one thing they have always said is, just assume they doing to most morally questionable things to get data - they just won't public admit until it is absolutely vital to do so.

Slightly off topic but I did like one of them being so frank about Linux and open source. They worked for a while with the NSA, all they said was "Linux has 100 million lines of code. You have to fooling your self to think we didn't slip in hundreds of backdoors onto that thing". The same can be said of almost any other system though.

I have long suspected that the gaslighting thing of "it is just subconscious coincidence" is just a very neat cover for these things. There might be a slight influence but it is nowhere near as powerful an effect as they would like you to think. With advertising swaying people, they can move a few percent of people a few percent in one direction but it doesn't really target individuals effectively in guaranteeing results. Only as an aggregate.
At least IME, and there may be regional or other variations I’m missing, people in México tend to use “plátano” for bananas and “plátano macho” for plantains.
What heuristic distance function is being used? If it were using Euclidean distance, wouldn’t it be a lot more efficient and not pursue paths that are going in literally the opposite direction as the destination?
I find that kind of surprising; the lack of “customer service voice” is one of the main reasons I prefer the Mistral models over Open AI’s, even if the latter are somewhat better at complex/specific tasks.
True... but we've never had absolute capitalism. Just like we've never had absolute communism. Absolute socialism. Absolute monarchy. etc.

What we have is imperfect capitalism vs imperfect communism vs imperfect socialism vs ...

The reality is that imperfect capitalism, despite its flaws, is better than the alternatives, despite the attempt to ignore their flaws.

Because that's the only way you can argue socialism is better... is arguing the idea of socialism vs the reality of capitalism.

We can discuss the "line" that gets drawn but when that line crosses from one system to the other? We can absolutely judge Capitalism vs Socialism vs Communism.
Yes, I do like that. My istanbul data hard coded. But i want to add data import menu. It's on my todo list.

The article mentions this, but housing is so much more expensive now that it's by far the largest cost for some people depending on where they live. For example, my father's first house was less than 2x his annual income. Now, in the same city, a similar house is about 17x the annual income of someone working a similar job. Even a small condo is about 8.5x.

Why does it need to be either one or the other?

There's absolutely no reason the iPad can't have both, as in a simple kiosk mode for old people to call someone, and then a "Power-user" toggle in the setting for those who want to enable the more complex features.
Can you copy a neural network, train each copy on a different part of the dataset, and merge them back together somehow?
Lisp isn't one language like Ruby or PHP; it is a family.

Some members of that family are fully self hosting. E.g. to build SBCL, you need an implementation of Common Lisp. It doesn't have to be SBCL.

My problem with applying principles to an artificially low level is that it lays bare the inherent dishonesty in the principle.

In sending this message, an unknown but certainly non-zero number of proprietary systems will be invoked. Can RMS ethically post on Lemmy from any platform? Why is this ok? And if it is, why can we not use web pages that rely on transient but nevertheless client-side JavaScript?
I'm curious what your results would be if you switched to A*. The heuristic could be as simple as geographic distance, which would still allow for optimal paths but might reduce the amount of searching you do in the opposite direction of your destination.
It's not a task which benefits much from dividing it into lots of small work units that all get processed in parallel without much communication between the nodes. It's naturally almost the complete opposite: it wants very high bandwidth between all the compute units, because each iteration of the training is calculating the derivative of and then updating all the weights of the network. Splitting it up only slows it down: even if you were to distribute training amongst 10x the compute nodes each of which was 10x faster, if your bandwidth drops to even 1/2 you're gonna lose out. This is why all the really big models need a lot of very tightly integrated hardware.
Thank you for making this available.
Currently it runs my home assistant installation at home, so, a bit more processing would help, but it is not a critical load that requires speed most of the time. The most annoying task is compiling ESPHome firmwares from the raspaberry, which could take several minutes.
