My point was that the world is fed up with Israel’s behavior, and I gave this ICJ case as an example of how fed up the world is. This case is an action the world has taken in the hopes that Israel will finally have to face consequences for their violations of international humanitarian laws. You asked which ones, and the answer is in the case, as described by experts.

> The ICJ has not rendered any decision yet.

I know, however the world believes Israel has violated several UN orders, and is taking action based on that belief.

> It's an accusation by South Africa.

It is not. I cited two paragraphs from the written statement given by South Africa. This is more like a witness statement than accusations. South Africa gave Oral Testimonies reflecting this written statement[1] (page 10)

The accusations were done by the General assembly back in December 2022 (read the actual accusations here[2]). 87 countries votes in favor of these accusations, 26 against, and 53 abstentions

The reason I’m citing these is that actual legal experts formed a consensus about these and submitted them to the world’s highest court, which accepted the case. This is not just my opinion, but the opinion of several legal experts spanning most of the world. Like I said, you may not like it, but the world is taking actions against Israel’s human rights violations. This would have happened even without the Gaza Genocide being a part of this reality.

EDIT: And if you want examples of specific laws which Israel has definetly broken, with an ICJ judgement to prove it. Then read case 131 https://www.icj-cij.org/case/131 which ruled Israel to be in violation of certain International Humanitarian Law by building the border wall, which still stands today and is cited in the resolution I cited above https://documents.un.org/doc/undoc/gen/n04/419/86/pdf/n04419...

This is just one of many examples of international human rights violations of Israel, some of which have the backing of an ICJ court behind it.
It is political. As I mentioned elsewhere in HN, Telegram is now being promoted in the US by the political-right there because they have lost trust in US BigTech social media platforms who, they believe, are "unjustly" censoring them on their platform. That is why the right-leaning media are now heavily promoting Telegram ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ut6RouSs0w ) and bashing other platforms ( https://www.city-journal.org/article/signals-katherine-maher... ).

> don't know about short- or medium-term, but long-term the photos can...

You're absolutely right, however I said concerts for a special reason.

> When I got into photography I took high-effort high-quality photos everywhere I went...

This is also what I do. When walking around in a city, or taking photos in a vacation, etc. You can do this. Because when taking photos in a relatively serene environment (when compared to a concert, esp. an open air, festival one), you can internalize whole event before taking that photo, so that photo becomes an anchor for that event. In a concert, everything is so fast. Trying to concentrate to take a good photo makes you ignore a large chunk which prevents you forming that emotion and memory.

> Long term, I can be completely objective about the times, places, people, conditions, etc. ...

True, but as I said, you had time to internalize that event before taking that shot. This is what it creates the anchor and reinforcing effect. You can't reinforce a memory you didn't form.

> There's a less objective angle to this that I still acknowledge and enjoy. ...

Photos bring joy, but not always. There are many positive photos which makes me feel bitter, or even sad.

> That's part of why I think there's a big difference between scrolling a backup of all your phone photos vs hand-curating albums ...

I can relate to that, but I also take a different approach. If I have the time and feel for it, I challenge myself with "1 scene, 1 shot", regardless of the camera I have with me. This allows you to ingest the scene you're in, take a purposeful look and decide which photo to take, which forces you to create a relationship with your surroundings. When you take that photo and revisit it in the future, that frame will make you remember the whole area where you searched for that one shot, and will bring tons of memories and visions back.

If I don't decide to or can't do that, I curate albums as you do, yes.

As a developer, that long tail of folks on the previous major version really sucks with fast-moving frameworks like SwiftUI. There's no way my company (a banking app) would drop 10% of customers, so we typically do N-1 for iOS support.

The term "climate change" usage had a PR person behind it. Republican strategist Frank Luntz pushed for politicians to use the term instead of "Global warming" has it sounds less severe.

I don't see this as Gulp, but tier 1 support. Imagine a whole classroom where small groups are self paced (and shuffled as needed) where each table gets a decent AI that can basically help them while a "master teacher" gives the more direct support that they observe being needed over at table 4, who are 3 chapters ahead of most everyone else, or some extra time can be spent with table 6 who are still struggling to progress in chapter 2
It's just another way to get those things being done. Some people will love it, others will use

I think Apple minimizes the importance of Lockdown Mode because nontechnical users will be confused when some things break when it is enabled, resulting in poor user experience and increased support burden.

Lockdown Mode does effectively block active zero-click exploits.[1][2] Despite who you are, how does it feel knowing your device is hackable and that there is an option that makes it less hackable? Considering that Lockdown Mode has almost no downsides for technical users (other than disabling shared albums), I think most people should have it enabled. I'm not a public figure, but I am a sysadmin that manages resources for many clients. I'm not likely to be targeted, but I'm not going to disable it (and thus make my devices vulnerable) just so I can share photo albums.

"I paused a bit too long thinking of a word and it just started responding to my obviously half spoken sentence. Trying again it just became stressful as I had to rush my words out to avoid an annoying response to an unfinished thought."

I'm a native speaker and this was my experience as well. I had better luck manually sending the message with the "push to hold" button.
However, where have I contradicted any of this?

The part where you go "nuh uh, this won't work on motors that no mass-produced electric bike or scooter ever uses". It probably won't work on horses, either, but that's not what TFA is about.

I've always been wondering what GPT models lack that makes them "query->response" only. I've always tried to get chatbots to lose the initially needed query, with no avail. What would It take to get a GPT model to freely generate tokens in a thought like pattern? I think when I'm alone without query from another human. Why can't they?
I know it is super crazy, but maybe they could become a non-profit and dedicate themselves to producing open source AI in an effort to democratize it and make it safe (as in, not walled behind a giant for-profit corp that will inevitably enshittify it).

I don't know why they didn't think about doing that earlier, could have been a game changer, but there is still an opportunity to pivot.

I think we can agree that victims of domestic abuse and stalking have a risk of physical harm and that physical harm trumps property rights / being peeved right?

This is a 0-sum choice & erring on the side of not letting this product be used for stalking seems like a sane choice. There are stalking products you can go buy that are more expensive that can give you the theft protection you want. Apple's and Google's monitoring network is unfathomably large and can passively monitor any device anywhere in the world. The threat vectors they have to balance against abuse is completely different.
When it comes to the economy, some monkey business is going on, but i think you can be more optimistic about the capabilities technology like that unlocks for everyone on the planet.

> The simplest example is “list all of the presidents in reverse chronological order of their ages when inaugurated”.

This question is probably not the simplest form of the query you intend to receive an answer for.

If you want a descending list of presidents based on their age at inauguration, I know what you want.

If you want a reverse chronological list of presidents, I know what you want.

When you combine/concatenate the two as you have above, I have no idea what you want, nor do I have any way of checking my work if I assume what you want. I know enough about word problems and how people ask questions to know that you probably have a fairly good idea what you want and likely don’t know how ambitious this question is as asked, and I think you and I both are approaching the question with reasonably good faith, so I think you’d understand or at least accommodate my request for clarification and refinement of the question so that it’s less ambiguous.

Can you think of a better way to ask the question?

Now that you’ve refined the question, do LLMs give you the answers you expect more frequently than before?

Do you think LLMs would be able to ask you for clarification in these terms? That capability to ask for clarification is probably going to be as important as other improvements to the LLM, for questions like these that have many possibly correct answers or different interpretations.

Does that make sense? What do you think?

Realtime videos? Probably their internal tools. I am testing the gpt4o right now and the responses come in 6-10 seconds. Same experience as the gpt4 text. What's up with the realtime claims?!
ChatGPT would be wrong in this case. It applies to (and was originally identified with) hash functions built from cryptographically secure hash functions. Note that this isn't as strong as AES. It's just built with some of the same machinery as AES, it doesn't carry over its guarantees.

Still an interesting construction I'll play around with some more when I have time.
From the same era was this oddball solution[0], which at the time I had thought was something that never got out of R&D but apparently did exist as a commercial product in laughably limited numbers.

The a2024 monitor did not require any changes to the Amiga that drove it, except that software needed to be aware that it existed which naturally almost none did.

It basically just used the bitplane model as a tiling frame buffer and rather than displaying four or five bits of color depth, dropped the color depth by half and interpreted different colors as shades of gray using some monitor translation profile type of thing.

Again software would have to know how to play ball with this to work, but the effect was that you got a rock solid 60 hertz screen that displayed, initially, 8 or 16 shade greyscale at 1024 x 800 resolution.

There was a limitation in that the individual quadrants of the screen could only be redrawn at 10 or 15hz even though the scan rate of the tube was non-interlaced 60hz. Subjectively, having seen this thing in person I didn't get the sense that it made much noticeable difference for the kinds of applications that would use it, which would be principally dtp or coding. The computed vector refresh rate of the entire display field was in general nowhere near quick enough for the raster quadrant paging to be noticeable, except in vertical scrolling.

Sadly this was obviously was a desperate if rather clever hack solution to the eye-strain drawbacks of the Amigas interlaced display at high resolutions, so no software support however appeared that would have driven further work in this direction. However had that happen, and the technique applied to this monitor was updated to match the capabilities of the AGA chipset, the resolution would have been potentially as high as 2360 by 1024 at 75hz, (edit: should be 60hz. 75hz possible "only" at 1600x1200) which comfortably exceeds HD (though only in greyscale) but for 1992 would have been safely well out in front of almost anything else at any price range, let alone a few thousand dollars.

Given the awkward aspect ratio, a more sensible use of that resolution would have been splitting it vertically into a dual monitor setup, although one would need two identical monitors to make that work. and the Amiga's version of multiple virtual desktops, pull-down screens, would have been impossible to make work effectively, and one wd have to do multitasking entirely on the workbench display in full-screen application windows like the Mac.

But at least it would have been preemptive multitasking, which clearly was entirely worth all of the extra associated hazards of multitasking without an mmu-aware kernel. /s

You can already change the voice in ChatGPT (in the paid tier at least) to one of 5 or 6 different 'people' so I imagine you can change it in the new version too.
Extension of that is fine tuning an AI that loves you the most of everyone and not other humans. That way the love becomes really real, the AI loves you for who you are, instead of loving just anybody. Isn't that what people hope for?

I'd imagine they will start fine tuning AI girlfriends to do that in the future, because that way the love probably feels more, and then people will ask "is human love really real love?" because humans can't love that strongly.

It would 100% be used for stalking & be directly contributing to easier violence against victims. Not sure I buy the argument it's purely because of image PR reasons vs there being a genuine well-founded harm-minimization strategy for why it's designed this way.

Ok, well final story is, i rummaged around and found some wired keyboards and mice. It was a little frustrating, but i finally found a pair that seemed to function. I'm still not sure what the point of 3 mouse buttons is; it seems like right and left click do the same thing(that is with the mouse i was able to actually get working - maybe RISC OS doesn't like any of my mice). Also the [FN]+Q,W,E,arrows trick didn't work on my keyboard that actually had a Function key. I guess i could have rummaged more(and maybe i will), but my hardware generally works fine with the linux distros I have used(mostly MX). It seems like some more work could be done here. Also, my wifi dongle seems to be recognized but incorrectly as a usb-ethernet interface, so i have an IP, but no internet, and i can't find a way to change that. riscosopen.org says sign-ups are disabled i need to email the webmaster; maybe i will; i am interested in trying out RISC OS, but it doesn't give me much confidence with my experience so far. ...it looks like MX still publishes a 32bit version, so i guess i can try and run that on my old Model 2 B+? ...but i bet it's going to have the same problem with no web-browser. So i guess all my 32bit stuff is bricks now? on a side note, i noticed some degradation in the desktop experience with the latest version of MX on my old laptop(it is a Thinkpad T510 with an intel i5). It is still functional, but i can feel the walls closing in.

This is great! I would love to find some open source games that I could really get into. There's not many things more satisfying and rewarding than playing a great game and then being able to hack on it.

Anyone else out there like me that can give some recommendations of games they've gotten into? Minetest came super close and totally would be that for me if I was more into the Minecraft style of game.

I would also love to see some lists by:

1. Popularity

2. Rating

3. Tech stack (such as by language like C++, enginer like Godot or Unreal, etc). There's some info on wikipedia[1] but it's mostly not filled out. Guess it's largely a data entry job though.

We've had voice input and voice output with computers for a long time, but it's never felt like spoken conversation. At best it's a series of separate voice notes. It feels more like texting than talking.

These demos show people talking to artificial intelligence. This is new. Humans are more partial to talking than writing. When people talk to each other (in person or over low-latency audio) there's a rich metadata channel of tone and timing, subtext, inexplicit knowledge. These videos seem to show the AI using this kind of metadata, in both input and output, and the conversation even flows reasonably well at times. I think this changes things a lot.
Yes. This model - and past models to an extent - have a very unique american and californian feel to them in their response. I am German for example, and day to that conversations lack any superficial flattery so much that the demo feels extreme to me.
Is that going to save them? If Apple helps establish voice as the new UI, then at some point Open AI can eject the middleman (Apple) and serve end users directly.
