In which case go read fiction. There's plenty of it. Stop polluting the space with gibberish. A joke article with 50000 citations is no longer a joke.

What fiction? QNTM did a great job and it's all available for free. qntm.org
I may well be missing something, but isn't the point of the title:

"GxHash is a fast and robust non-cryptographic hashing algorithm"

Exactly that I should use it when I want a fast hash, but not when I want a robust cryptographic hash? In which case I can ignore your attack? (Not to discount your work, I'm just trying to understand the scope here)

So I can use it in my hash-map, or whatever O(1) lookup, but I shouldn't use it in my rewrite of SSL?
Nobody in the comments seems to notice or care about GPT-4o new additional capability for performing searches based on RAG. As far as I am concerned this is the most important feature that people has been waiting for ChatGPT-4 especially if you are doing research. By just testing on one particular topic that I'm familiar with, using GPT-4 previously and GPT-4o the quality of the resulting responses for the latter is very promising indeed.
A lot of modern flatpack furniture isn't even particle board or plywood, it's structural cardboard. eg. https://old.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/ka4jl6/t...

Modern solid-wood furniture makes use of lighter materials too. Sometimes the backboard will be thin particle board, or certain planks will be pretty thin. Or the drawers are made of much lighter wood, possibly veneered. Also, the designs are much less ornate.

So in general, your modern solid wood furniture AND cheap, flatpack stuff will be lighter that old well-built furniture.
I'll get excited when I see the 128gb LPCAMM's out. It's tough to find a laptop with 4x slots to do 128gb, best option was a lenovo t15g with an 11th gen intel, but it's a pretty fat thing to have to carry. Luckily mine mostly stays home a stand.

Even 2 of these is better than having to fit 4 sodimm slots to now, but I'd really rather an ultra slim with 128gb.
Oh yeah, Carmageddon 1. This game was amazing. I hope they will manage to recreate the engine :) Fingers crossed.
I also think there’s something weird going on with YouTube recommendations. The thing that I’ve noticed is that people I follow on TikTok are showing up in my YouTube recommendations, and I’ve never interacted with their YouTube accounts. Most times I didn’t even know they had a YouTube account.

I use the same email address on both accounts, but it seems weird that TT would export its follow graph to YT for any reason.
Then you can tell it to do that. It will use whatever intonations you prefer.
Isn't that what you're doing with the magic human understanding vs the fake machine understanding?
What possibly could go wrong with a snitching AI girlfriend remembers everything you say and when? If OpenAI doesn't have a Law Enforcement lliason who charges a "modest amount", then they dont want to earn the billions on investment back. I imagine every spy agency worth its salt wants access to this data for human intelligence purposes.
I never said this insulates you entirely, I said relatively immune, and isolating yourself on the other hand would require living in a cave. Of course you can be aware of propaganda and still be influenced by it. Everything you read imparts an influence on your thinking to a degree, whether it be a bible verse or a wheaties ad or this very comment.
That's not analogous.

How would you know that when we just started studying such effects?
When I type "romance" into "Explore GPTs" the hits are mostly advice for writers of genre fiction. Can you point to some examples?

Building a custom wall mount for my downhill bike. It requires some extra engineering and planning, the space is tight since there is already one bike on the hallway. It is also important to estimate the forces involved, so that there is sufficient safety margin.
You might want to try Linq2Db, it is much closer to Diesel in how it works (More SQL DSL with parameter+reader mapper, less Unit-of-work ORM).

FWIW, it can actually work 'on top' of an Existing EF Core context+mappings (i.e. if you have an existing project and want to migrate, or just need the better feature-set for a specific case.) or you can get pretty close to 'yolo by convention' depending on case. In general though it's a lot less ceremony to start messing around.
I wonder if the sequence of online events that lead you to “organically” come up with pantyliner was also enough for the ad algorithms to do the same.

Maybe subconsciously in videos or other browsing activity pantyliner adjacent things were discussed.

Not saying companies aren’t using audio for ads, but it just feels like there would be more leaks from the big COs if it were ubiquitous in everyday life
This so much. Confronting thieves is always a bad idea. I prefer to view it in a positive light. The thief probably needed the stolen item more than I did. The thief is happy, I am happy for the thief. The overall happiness in the world has increased!
I wonder when it will be able to understand that there is more than one human talking to it. It seems like even in today's demo if two people are talking, it can't tell them apart.
I remember the Harvard OIT people had a gopher server running on their new mainframe back in the day. They were all excited about it too.

Once the web guys implemented inline images it was pretty much all over.
Countries like the UK are absolutely banning knives, forks, etc.
The sublimation process on cotton clothes uses synthetics as the bonding base. It could be a polyester resin or a vinyl. The shirt itself will still be listed as 100% cotton.
Couldn’t you do this with shell scripts? Make just runs commands anyway. If you’re not using make’s dependency-tracking features, might as well just use the shell directly and use the simplest tool for the job.
> if you say brains aren’t made of neural networks.

Except biological brains are not made like hyped-up artificial neural networks. The latter are from a simplified hypothesis then massively twisted and cut-down to fit practical electrical engineering constraints.

> The only thing that's separates us from [machine learning] is both scale [...] and agency

... And the teensy tiny fact you keep refusing to face which is that they don't work the same.

Declaring that the problem is basically solved is just an updated version of a perennial conceit, one which in the past would have involved the electrical current flow or gears.
Normal physical processes are not deterministic. You don't need to speculate on a source of non-determinism, it's right there in the substrate. Penrose's entire argument is based on a fallacy (you need quantum effects for a system to be non-deterministic) and we've known this since the double-pendulum.
Maybe unhinged people on Twitter for whom the terms "vaccine" and "mRNA" have been weaponized to mobilize them in whatever's the current culture war. Is there a substantive reason to be afraid more so than with any other medical advancement?
Apple really dropped the ball when it comes to Siri. For years I watched WWDC thinking "surely they'll update siri this year" and they still haven't given it a significant update.

If you'd have told me 10 years ago that Apple would wait this long to update siri I would have been like no way, that's crazy.
On the bright side, we're probably a couple of centuries away from being able to genetically engineer geniuses and avoid having to play the numbers game.

Genetic engineering might also be a way out of the reproductive Ponzi scheme. Grow ready-made adults in pods! No painful stupid 25-year investment period with uncertain payoff.
They're rollercoaster riders, being told lusterous stories by gold-panners while the shovel salesman counts his money and leaves.
> No support for encryption nor compression in the protocol.

I consider it a feature.

Compression adds complexity. Not only you have to implement compression itself, but also a way to communicate what type of compression you want. It also makes the protocol less readable though packet dumps and make using simple tools like netcat more complex. Simplicity is a big reason for using Gopher.

Encryption adds a lot of complexity, same argument, but ten times worse.

In addition to complexity, I don't really like the idea of HTTPS-style encryption for a niche like this, for the following reasons:

- HTTPS gives only limited privacy protection, an eavesdropper can still see your IP address and the server you are trying to reach. It is not TOR.

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

- Encryption is useful to send secrets, like passwords or credit card numbers. Why would you want use passwords? Isn't the big idea to make information publicly available? Why hide things behind passwords? And why would you want to send a credit card number, do you want e-commerce on your platform? Not having encryption is a way to ensure all information on your small network is freely accessible and stays this way.

And if you disagree with regard to encryption, maybe take a look at Gemini.

1 and 2 are good points.
Perhaps parent finds the physical manifestation of virtual girlfriends gross - i.e. sexbots. The confusion may be some people reading "a body" as referring to a human being vs a smart sex doll controlled by an AI.
IMO they are on different dimensions, orthogonal if you will. The medium will often be dictated by outside demands, but when talking about mediums themselves and the different aspects of that medium can take place without taking those into account. Just like you could discuss the differences between oil paints and acrylics without taking into account any specific work... of course if you flip that, talking acrylic or oil for a specific work, then it would matter.
I used .NET for about ten years since v1.1. After an almost ten-year break I'm developing with it once again, and finding the ecosystem much improved and even more of a pleasure. Wouldn't bet against .NET and C# given the evolution so far.
This. You need to monitor and mentor. My kiddo is a Fortnite and YouTube addict until baseball season, then is outside.

Encourage a healthy relationship with computers and they’ll start doing cool stuff. My son and his buddies are making 3D printed novelties and selling them now!
I'm worried about falling prey to conspiratorial thought, but I'm in the same boat. I can't think of any other reasonable explanation that would explain the advertising.
I meant social tools in general. The second paragraph addresses what I believe to be the specific mechanics driving our current popular flawed implementations of these tools. It should be noted, these are not the only sites in existence, and viewing "social media" strictly through the lens of them is probably unproductive.
Penrose argues just in terms of classical computers
I mean no disrespect to anyone who maintains a game on this list.

But I find this list incredibly sad.

A list containing mostly clones of other (old) games, or previously closed source games that have since had their source released. ( And few outside of iD software titles at that ).

It's difficult to get excited about a game when the promise is, "Play this game that was fun 20 years ago".

For all the creativity that ought to be present in the open-source "community", how come there's never really been a true open source gaming hit?

How is that the open source community can appear to organise to deliver millions of unpaid hours of cutting edge work when it comes to operating systems and it's applications, but falls so flat when it comes to the creative side, especially gaming?

I'm not saying you shouldn't enjoy things like openTTD, it's fine to enjoy that if you do, but it's just difficult to get too excited about a game if the goal is simply to recreate an experience that was available 20+ years ago, and when the screenshots page unironically links 600x400 images.

If that's the best example of open source gaming, then there's no hope.

Perhaps I'm being unfair, certainly Mindustry looks like it actually fits the trifecta of being:

* Original
* Credible
* Modern

I can't see anything else on that list that fits that description though.

Lists like this do a dis-service to gaming, if someone was getting into PC gaming was presented this list, they'd be more put off than encouraged when many of the games appear to have fewer pixels than their mobile, and are loving re-creations of old games, many of which you probably wouldn't enjoy if you hadn't played the original.

If this list were simply a short list of the 2 or 3 games which do appear to be more modern and original, it would be a better list.
Even if this were true, which it isn't, you can't boil down humans to just what they say
I applaud the aim to make lean and fast websites, but the lack of timer and drag+drop on this game makes it unusable, so I think this actually makes the reverse point -- one should not put non-functional requirements ahead of the function of a product. In other words, this was not a good compromise.
Can you be more specific? I can’t find this in the announcement. How does this work? What example did you try?

EDIT: web search does seem extremely fast.
Modern furniture (even those "fancy" new DTC brands you hear on podcasts) has taking a nosedive since it's been offshored: https://wapo.st/4bnkYl6

These days, if you want quality, you pretty much have to make sure it's made in America or Europe.
Would Apple (or Tesla) have to be colluding here if it was in fact using the iphone mic to listen in?

They are already pretty worthless as far as air travel goes in my experience. Airtag indicated my bag was on the tarmac at the first airport pretty much until it dropped in front of me in the baggage carriage at the last airport. Effectively it gives me zero information I didn't have already from the old analog method of using ones eyes and following up with airline staff.
It might be simpler to mandate accounting and (progressively) tax production to pay for remediation to force the market away from polluting.

And maybe it would encourage more out of the box solutions, like this one:

Maybe Google are listening to you use Tiktok?
Sorry for being condescending.

I’d also agree Tesla is definitely weak on taking customer input.

For (3) you have to not only press the brake, but also pull the stalk down or whatever other gear shift of the month button it is, at the same time. I’ve encountered times when you have to pull (the stalk) twice in quick succession if once doesn’t do it.
That isn't how I view relationships with humans, that is how I view relationships with robots.

I hope you understand the difference between a relationship with a human and a robot? Or do you think we shouldn't take advantage of robots being programmable to do what we want?
ehhh, the value in loom is easily having a link to pass around instead of a 1gb file I have to upload everywhere
They could be thinking of the stain resistant treatments which are a ureathane (plastic) coating.
Imagine having to interact with this thing in an environment where it is in the power position.

Being in a prison with this voice as your guard seems like a horrible way to lose your sanity. This aggressive friendlyness combined with no real emotions seems like a very easy way to break people.

There are these stories about nazis working at concentration camps, having to drink an insane amount of alcohol to keep themselves going (not trying to excuse their actions). This thing would just do it, while being friendly at the same time. This amount of hopeless someone would experience if they happen to be in custody of a system like this is truly horrific.
Because it's an extended period, with a simple round time window that doesn't include the IPO pop from the frothiest IPO environment of the last decade. Happy to have gone with any time window outside of 2021. That should be clear from my comment.

"But, Creddit", the ignorant accuser of cherry-picking whine, "why after 2021?"

Because as anyone in tech knows, that was the frothiest IPO environment of the last decade. Source for those who aren't aware: https://site.warrington.ufl.edu/ritter/files/IPOs-Tech.pdf
This is what we've been gaslit into believing that's for sure....
The reconstruction looks even better than ground truth images in their examples.
And your source is what?
sorry, maybe i'm not completely understanding what you mean by "in consumer products".

reading your argument on reddit, it seems to me that you don't consider 3d printing a success because there's not one in every home...which is true.

but it feels uncreative? like, sure, just because it hasn't been mass adopted by consumers, doesn't mean there wasn't value generation done on an industrial level.
you're probably using consumer products right now that have benefitted from 3d printing in some way.

> ML absolutely has an applicable location, it's not nearly as vast as the hype train would say

what hype train are you referring to? i know a lot of different predictions in machine learning, so i'm curious about what you mean specifically.
I should have made my point clear, but I'm referring to the tracking compatibility feature, that an airtag would be compatible for geolocation with the Android ecosystem and vice-versa toward building a global single tracking network instead of having 2 coexisting networks.
In the same situation as you. Genomics data mining with validated LMM responses would be a godsend. Even more so when combined with rapid conversational interactions.

We are not far from the models asking themselves questions. Recurrence will be ignition = first draft AGI. Strap in everybody.
I can use a steak knife as a screwdriver but I wouldn't expect it to be good in that role.
that's the general idea, yes. Or rather, store several chunks of audio, and discard the oldest. aka "Rolling window".
on our end the core is open sourced, we keep the saas backend closed.
Exactly. It’s not about whether it’s enforceable, it’s about the fact that a sketchy license indicates that they might not always operate in good faith.
You can have open source and still charge for it. For example, getinboxzero.com or posthog.com or cal.com. Many others too.

Projects use different licenses for enterprise and regular features. Cal does that for example.

Novu doesn’t commit their enterprise features to their codebase. And they symlink those features in. Their project is all MIT because of this.
In 2009, before HTTPS replaced HTTP, one could easily argue against FTP in favor of HTTP.

https://web.archive.org/web/20090223180617if_/http://mywiki....

But in 2024, it is exceedingly difficult to use HTTP without TLS to download all the source code that is _still_ found on FTP servers.

It's not FTP, the protocol, that is the best. It is the _option_ of having something else to use besides HTTPS, third party-controlled "web PKI" and for-profit "developer platforms" in order to download source code.

Having that simpler, non-commercial option is the best. IMHO.
Shameless plug, but I am working on a Swift Client/Server Gopher implementation[0] used in a SwiftUI app for macOS/iOS/visionOS[1]. I will soon be making a Gtk implementation for Linux!

Why? It is a pretty simple protocol to implement, and I love reading people's daily phlogs

me too, but I bricked mine when flashing the bios. just a fluke, nothing to be done about it.
Excellent work teams.
Now expand the tracking networks to each other's phones.
There is a big liability issue for these companies if they say its for tracking stolen items. Anecdotally according to reddit threads, police don't care if you have the tracker showing its at the thiefs house, thats not enough evidence to do anything and its not an active crime with people in danger worth being prompt about. law enforcement also don't want you to confront the thief due to the risk of that situation escalating. If these companies start advertising for stolen items they are effectively encouraging vigilanteism and you can imagine how much of a legal headache that will be as soon as the first airtag user is shot dead.

I'm a fourth-year Data Science student at the University of São Paulo seeking an Internship role (August - December). My course has provided me with a good background on Statistics and CS, with classes such as Deep Learning, Non-Structured Data Mining and Bayesian Statitics. I have had the oppotunity to do a Research Internship in France earilier this year, receiving one of the most prestigious scholarships available in my country, it was about Time Series extrinsic regression for Mobile Health.

My current experience has been as a Machine Learning Intern, creating a MLP, FCN, ResNet and Inception in PyTorch comparing it to a new implementation for a paper yet to be published. Not to mention a few kaggle competitions and a bunch of projects, I have also had some data engineering experience working with ECG data.
OK neither GPT-4o nor myself is great at counting apparently
If it's going to be available via Siri this could make sense.

It does make me wonder how such a relationship could impact progress. Would OpenAI feel limited from advancing in directions that don't align with the partnership? For example if they suddenly release a model better than what's in Siri, making Siri look bad.
I'm surprised they're limiting this api. Haven't they not even opened the image api in gpt4 turbo?
No offence, but your comment sounds AI generated.
Upvoted, I'd like to see screenshots.
Is it possible to run this on a generic linux box? Or if not, are you aware of a similar project that can?

I've googled it before, but the space is crowded and the caveats are subtle.
sonicontrol firewall exists and pings when watching youtube and television, but not on dvds manufactured before cellphones, out in the forest, etc.

Just a thought.
It's happening and we are being gaslit by people saying oh it would never happen. Apple and Google would never allow it to happen. They're both capitalist corporations driven by profit alone. There's immense profit in this. It's happening and it makes me want to throw my phone in the river.
I remember seeing this from STH as well, and my first thought was "I want one of these in my laptop!" It'd be perfect then to max ram in a laptop with 2 sodimm slots, or one of these 64gb lpcamm's. Ideally with a thinner laptop in mind, but probably not with the heatsink for THAT massive xeon.

I really hope the hbm memory on-die trickles down into pro-sumer processor chips eventually too.
Games are harder to self-start than, say, OpenSSL because you have to make art and music and stuff.

The expensive is only worth it if an existing game has already justified it, like with mods (mods whose scale and complexity can be staggering).
