They don’t “disallow” turning off Bluetooth easily. You can trivially do it via the settings app. The control panel pull down does it temporarily because that’s what most people want. 99.9% of people are turning off wifi because the wifi connection they currently have is acting up. So turning it back on tomorrow so the user doesn’t forget and ends up chewing through mobile data is the obvious best UX.

I doubt it was a big splash of news given that leap seconds have been a fairly routine thing for quite a while. Lately there’s been talk about a possible negative leap second, as Earth’s rotation speed has been increasing for a few years now. Many things can have a measurable on Earth’s rotation, including dynamics of the molten outer core, earthquakes, ocean currents, and melting of polar ice caused by the climate change.

Even before we invented precise enough clocks that there was any need for leap seconds, we knew that Earth’s rotation is slowing down due to tidal drag – the moon is literally robbing angular momentum from Earth, and getting farther from Earth in the process. Back in the Cambrian, day length was around 21 hours. Shortly after the formation of the moon, 4.5Ga ago, it would have been only around five hours, assuming the giant impact hypothesis is correct.

There are processes for “chemical recycling of plastics” that either convert polymers back to the monomer (pretty easy for styrene) or to mixed petrochemicals (such as pyrolysis). There are other problems, but the economics are always going to be tough for them because bulk plastic monomers and other petrochemicals (even fuels) usually cost about 50 cents a pound which is a hard price to beat even when you don’t consider the cost of gathering and transporting all that plastic.

I really want to be impressed, but I've been reading papers about breakthroughs in deblurring and upscaling for two decades now, and the state of the art in commercial and open-source tools is still pretty underwhelming. Chances are, if you have a low-res keepsake photo, or take a blurry nature shot, you're gonna be stuck with that.

Replace that with any political influencer (Ben Shapiro, AOC, etc) and you will see the exact same argument.

People remember things that didn't happen and confidently present things they just made up as facts on a daily basis. This is because they've learned that confidently stating incorrect information is more effective than staying silent when you don't know the answer. LLMs have just learned how to act like a human.

At this point the real stochastic parrots are the people who bring up the Chinese room because it appears the most in their training data of how to respond to this situation.

Elevenlabs isn’t remotely close to how good this voice sounds. I’ve tried to use it extensively before and it just isn’t natural. This voice from openAI and even the one chatGPT has been using is natural.
This only works as long as the username is active/unchanged. It would probably be better if usernames were never linkable to phone numbers, but if your threat model requires a persistent, non-ephemeral username to remain anonymous when targeted by law enforcement that has access to your telecom records and warrants... that's going to require a pretty high level of opsec.

The UX on usernames in Signal might be non-ideal. It might be helpful to have a toggle that regularly cycles your username if that's important for your threat model.

It remained staggeringly expensive because the Space Shuttle was a disastrous design to follow up the lunar rockets. It held up the space program half a century in some ways.

It reduced the manned program to Earth orbit, was supposed to be highly reusable to reduce launch costs, but didn't work out that way. And of course, it was supposed to be reliable and safer.

If we had continued going to the moon, even infrequently, or aimed further, we would have had no choice but to actually achieve reusability, safety and reliability much sooner.

(In the meantime, ... NASA's current manned program isn't better. Multi-billion dollar throw away rockers. Good thing someone validated reusable first stages and space craft, and is working to eliminate non-reusable second stages.)
If you follow much of the education world, it's inundated with teachers frantically trying to deal with the volume and slop their students produce with AI tools. I'm sure it can be useful in an educational context, but "replacing a poor-quality cheating tool with a more efficient poor-quality cheating tool" isn't exactly what I'd call "meaningful."

The most interesting uses of AI tools in a classroom I've seen is teachers showing students AI-generated work and asking students to critique it and fact check it, at which point the students see it for what it is.
I always wondered how different our auto/road system would be if the NHTSA investigated each and every human driver crash as thoroughly and visibly as they seem to be interested in autonomous driving crashes--and instituted corrective regulatory action on human driving as heavy as we're likely going to see on autonomous driving.

3.13. Disablement

The accessory SHALL have a way to be disabled such that its future
locations cannot be seen by its owner. Disablement SHALL be done via
some physical action (e.g., button press, gesture, removal of
battery, etc.).

Ledvina, et al. Expires 22 June 2024 [Page 26]
Internet-Draft Detecting Unwanted Location Trackers December 2023

3.13.1. Disablement instructions

The accessory manufacturer SHALL provide both a text description of
how to disable the accessory as well as a visual depiction (e.g.
image, diagram, animation, etc.) that MUST be available when the
platform is online and OPTIONALLY when offline. Disablement
procedure or instructions CAN change with accessory firmware updates.
These are provided as part of the onboarding process (Section 7).

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-detecting-unwanted-lo...

Yes. Physical access would likely be needed for most of these devices and would be sufficient for satisfying the RFC, based on the examples in section 3.13.

So you might get a notification of a device "following" you because I have a tracker in my bag but no phone (or my phone is off, perhaps; or maybe it's just malfunctioning and mis-reporting as happens sometimes). You play the sound and find out it's in the bag underneath your seat on the bus, but that's my bag. You could attempt to rifle through it and take my tracker and disable it, but I'd probably stop you.
I feel like it's largely an effect of tuning it to default as "a ultra helpful assistant which is happy to help with any request via detailed responses in candid and polite manner..." kind of thing as you basically lose free points any time it doesn't jump on helping with something, tries to use short output and generates a more incorrect answer as a result, or just plain has to be initialized with any of this info.

It seems like both the voice and responses can be tuned pretty easily though so hopefully that kind of thing can just be loaded in your custom instructions.

pg_house just wasn't as catchy!

In all seriousness though, I see your point. While it's true that we don't provide the storage or table format, our belief is that companies actually want to own the data in their S3. We called it pg_lakehouse because it's the missing glue for companies already using Postgres + S3 + Delta Lake/Iceberg to have a lakehouse without new infrastructure.

The problem with "seconds since the Epoch" is that if you naively add milliseconds, it is no longer monotonic.

Since 2016-12-31T23:59:60Z is 1483228800 seconds since the Epoch, and 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z is also 1483228800 seconds since the Epoch, that means that 2016-12-21T23:59:60.xxxZ would have the same timestamp as 2017-01-01T00:00:00.xxxZ, for all xxx.

This corresponds to the counter jumping backward 1000 milliseconds at 2017-01-01T00:00:00.000Z.

Show HN: Move data from any vector DB to any other vector DB
While building semantic search and LLM-powered apps, one needs to try out various vector databases because they differ widely in feature set, cost and other characteristics.

The Vector-io library introduces a universal open format for storing vector datasets (Vectors, along with their metadata), along with import and export scripts for a wide range of vector databases:
- Pinecone
- Qdrant
- Milvus
- GCP Vertex AI Vector Search
- KDB.AI
- LanceDB
- DataStax Astra DB
- Chroma
- Turbopuffer

This will allow easier backup, snapshots, sharing of vector datasets and managing data across different vector DBs.

I'm also curating a list of publicly available datasets in this format, which can be loaded directly from HuggingFace into your favorite VectorDB: https://huggingface.co/collections/aintech/vector-io-compati...

If you have data in a vector DB, please try it out and let me know if you have feedback. Thanks!
Also, it's easy to take basic necessities for granted. Only when you experienced hunger you realise how having plenty of affordable food is a luxury.
It does. Their instructions for disabling AirTags shows you how to remove their battery. That's a good thing: you shouldn't be able to remotely disable someone else's tracker.
If this smells like anything to me, it's the start of the internet.

this is a different thesis than "AI is basically bullshit astrology", so i'm not disagreeing with you.

I was just thinking about this relative to another post. I think people push companies to solve this problem because Government is slow moving, and often well-resourced interests can get traction when the average citizen cannot.

This should absolutely be solved by government. But with collective action (noisy social media, mostly) people can often have quicker effect on a company.
I don’t know about this at all, but ChatGPT suggests that this attack is thwarted by a secure compression function and block function. As you point out elsewhere, it uses AES for compression but not sure if that’s enough. Do you know?
"Adoption" of tech companies pushing it on you is very different from "adoption" in terms of the average person using it in a meaningful way and liking it.

Will this affect battery life? I can see how Apple's proprietary AirTags don't affect battery (of smartphones around them) much, but if they're trying to detect other companies' trackers it seems less likely that the battery impact is quite so minimal.
And this is how you get a promotion.
Well done, lads!
I skimmed the Overview and am not an expert.

It seems to me they don't use any ML at all. They use backpropagation to jointly optimise the entire physics/motion model, which models camera motion and the generated blurry images (they generate multiple images for each camera frame along the path of motion of the camera, and then merge them, simulating motion blur)
The article becomes ironic because it's an example of the very thing she is complaining about. All the decent, kind, caring people are vastly outnumbered by people like the writer who apparently tread the exact mainstream line on things like climate change, the Gaza conflict and "Trump is bad" (she writes: "The last threads of democracy are unraveling right in front of us"). One of her covid articles mentions how "we were waiting on the FDA to approve vaccines for children under five". She couldn't be more mainstream if she tried, I couldn't find a meat=bad article but maybe that's still coming. How she can feel alone when the entire US mainstream is on her side is an achievement in self absorption.

You can use whatever solution you want - hold the timestamp, smear time, it's up to you. It's still monotonic, and uses the same epoch.

You've still got 74 random bits.
In my experience, a lot of people are distrustful of logical arguments about what may happen. If it has never happened, then it doesn't happen in practice - that's how they reason I suppose. This article shows that it does happen in practice.
Their point still stands. A false positive algorithmic account deactivation coupled with the impossibility of getting a human to review the decision is a very real scenario.
