You can sort of work around it by placement new, but it’s still hugely inconvenient in the general case since the thing could have strict alignment requirements.

Oh and not just stack, it also breaks global variables because destructors often get run for those when something gets unloaded or the program stops.

Finally, because C++ gives you tons of control over how assignment works, it’ll probably break being able to use things within other objects unless you give those mark those classes as friend.
You jest, but we praise Cern for inventing the web, not the millions of people who actually built websites and uploaded content. Someone who kicked things off via directing funding gets zero credit.

Just stop trying to redefine AI as a term, you'll lose against the old hands and you'll lose against the marketing dept and you'll lose against the tech bros and nobody who you actually need to explain it to will care. Use AGI or some other common term for what you're clearly talking about.

Come on guys, it’s already far beyond superhuman if it’s able to do that and so quickly. So if it’s not able to do that, what’s the big deal? If you’re asking for AG.I., then it seems that the model performs beyond it in these areas.

Stock videos are indeed crucial, especially now that we can easily search for precisely what we need. Take, for instance, the scene at the end of 'Look Up' featuring a native American dance in Peru. The dancer's movements were captured from a stock video, and the comet falling was seamlessly edited in.
now imagine having near infinite stock videos tailored to the situation.

If you ever find yourself stranded back in time at that spot, skip over the fancy clocks and invent a radio transmitter that can send out a powerful pulse for "it's noon in $city" once a day.

Then sailing ships can manage with simple receiver plus clock just good enough to measure 12 hours. The time delta between receiving the land-broadcast and their own observed noon will tell them their relative longitude.

Since you aren't trying to encode any other information in this pulse, that makes the job a lot easier than if you were trying to make a wireless telegraph.

If you want to restrict who can benefit (e.g. to support a particular military that happened to recognize your time-traveler genius) plan random offsets for when you will be triggering it, and give authorized users a copy of the offsets.
Sure, but that defense spending number only gets higher the more we add on to it. The point is that it's not going to be lower than the debt interest no matter what. I don't think it's misleading to say that we aren't being told the upper bound of defense spending.

There are high tech eInk devices that can refresh much faster than a Kindle and that you can buy right now, but any eInk discussion on Hacker News lives in a parallel universe where those devices should never be mentioned and we should pretend that the technology is where it was 10 years ago.

With the rapid rate of development recently, I would expect eInk displays to break the "magic" 24 fps barrier in 2025 and hit the mainstream in a major way. Considering that offices worldwide have been constructed to block out sunlight to accommodate display use, this tech has the potential to change everything.
It does, but it’s a whole rabbit hole of specialized settings from what I can tell.

Certainly many places have signals that are coordinated for several blocks, but in my experience, more often than not, intersections appear be controlled by local sensors.

The Landauer principle gives a lower bound for the energy needed for computation (specifically, irreversible information erasure). Is it possible that there is a heretofore undiscovered lower bound that is higher?

As an aside, modern computers perform computation like a car with square wheels --- in discrete steps, where all your energy is irreversibly discarded in each step. Theoretically, reversible computing [1] can do useful work with less energy without needing to erase information.

Ask HN: Rather than Gemini Nano, what's the best way to run an LLM in-browser?
I would like to my javascript app to have local access to a basic LLM.

In the next version of Chrome Google says that Gemini Nano will be included, thanks to the advances in WebAssembly. But it's surely going to be awhile (if ever) before other major browsers choose to integrate Gemini Nano.

Since WebAssembly is widely supported, has anyone experimented with LLMs that can run in-browser? Ideally, one that can even run on mobile Safari/Chrome?
Too bad they're actually nice people hey?
How would you regulate them if at all?
Hmm. I can easily play songs in my head and imagine new ones, yet I have absolutely no musical background. I’m now wishing I had more time available so I could mess around on fruity loops.
You might look into Mindbug[1]. It uses a few, very streamlined mechanics. It plays quickly - 3 life, 10 cards. But there is a ton of card variety, and wildly powerful cards, because the mindbug mechanic makes each game self-balancing to a degree.

I believe Garfield also gave creative input during development.

I used to bicycle along a route where there was a left turn like this, the light wouldn't detect my bicycle. If I sat in the left turn lane on my bike (like I'm supposed to if I'm turning left) and the car behind me stopped a reasonable distance from me the light would never change. This is a street that terminates into the cross street, so there's no one across from us to trigger it, no one going straight to trigger it, and right turners would clear out too fast to trigger it. If I was malicious I could easily have grown a pretty absurd line of cars and buses behind me.

I no longer bike through that intersection (because I don't need to very often, and because I found some nice side streets that happen to take me around it), but I doubt it's changed in the years since.
I've used it at a previous job, the email not containing content was a great feature for when people (inevitably) needed to retract something. That's all I ever took it for - super easy to turn those off and just use in-app messages.

Or, they correctly understand exactly how the license works and intentionally choose something that's effectively impossible to use in anything proprietary (for some definition of "use in" that's probably less severe than you're implying, though IANAL).

Correct; AGPL is 100% Free and a commendable choice. (Not that there's anything wrong with permissive licenses, but copyleft is also good.)

Common way to do this would be to keep an eye out for large fundraises, and then track back to see if you can catch them using the personal license early on.
What makes you say that? I have barely any idea who she is outside of this thread.
I think with AI content, we'd need to not treat it like expecting fine grained control. E.g. instead like "dramatic scene of rider coming down path, and dismounting horse, then looking into distance", etc. (Or even less detail eventually once a cohesive story can be generated.)
That is openly laughable. Incognito mode claims, just one of a long list of examples of this politicized monopoly engaging in criminal behavior.
It's actually one of the perks of centralized platforms like Reddit: if they want to, they have the technology and the resources to investigate bad actors like that. I don't just mean just finding and blocking their IPs, but untangling their ownership, corporate structure, tooling, and so on. Hiring actual PIs if necessary. It's the bread-and-butter for many spam and abuse teams at Big Tech.

That said, just because they can doesn't mean they will. It's possible that they've grown complacent and underfunded these capabilities (instead relying on community moderators to weed out bad actors). Or it's possible that they're too focused on the short term to see the existential risks. If I recall correctly, they couldn't resist the temptation of selling user content for LLM training, same as Stack Overflow.

But in an internet overrun by spam LLMs, the future are curated, walled-garden communities, and Reddit could be the basis for that.

"Existing noncompetes for senior executives - who represent less than 0.75% of workers - can remain in force under the FTC’s final rule, but employers are banned from entering into or attempting to enforce any new noncompetes, even if they involve senior executives. Employers will be required to provide notice to workers other than senior executives who are bound by an existing noncompete that they will not be enforcing any noncompetes against them."

Have you considered that the whole destructors with multiple arguments thing is more elegantly done with just making the zero argument destructor private and having a wrapper function in the proper module as the only way of accessing it.

great read. I hope more folks show off the infrastructure of AI. Its cool to see demos of products, but its a breath of fresh air to see how its made.
They almost work like this. std::move doesn't actually move an object; it leaves an intact instance... which we still don't know how to destroy (because its destructor is private). This also means that if we have an e.g. Outer struct whose constructor takes some kind of linear type, that Outer has no way to ever relinquish it again, which is a prerequisite of all those desirable linear type / higher RAII patterns.

This godbolt hopefully illustrates: https://godbolt.org/z/qqMnnKbnd though apologies if it's not too clear.

If C++ didn't have its quirks, you'd fundamentally be correct. Higher RAII can almost completely be implemented by this one sentence: make destruction private. (In fact, that's why Vale's `destruct` keyword is file-private)
I'm wondering how long it will be until someone goes reversing and publishes a hack to unlock all cores. A disclosure like that could end up stimulating direct and indirect sales, and increase brand "goodwill" indirectly through cool factor (IBM needs all the help they can get).
I think OSes really should take inspiration from the newest generation of programming languages here. Rust and Julia (as well as a few others) do a lot better than the OS. Features like environments (e.g. for installing per user packages), and a clean separation of a project and an environment would be very nice.
Useful too for sales people at business dinners, execs doing corporate entertainment, journalists, even politicians - anyone who's employment requires them to engage in quasi-social activities with 3rd parties where it's awkward to refuse a drink or six.
I think large language models can be used to classify people, lying, or saying, rehearsed, things or being disingenuous. Simply train them on a lot of audio of people talking, and they would become better than most polygraph machines. There’s something about how a person says something that quickly reveals that it was rehearsed earlier, or premeditated, and I’m sure when they’re lying there can be things like that too. the LLM can instantly pick up with some probability and classify it

I’ve seen claims during open AI demo that is there software can now pick up on extremely subtle emotional clues, how people speak. Then, it shouldn’t take much more to make it read between the lines and understand what people are intending to say, for example, by enumerating all possible interpretations and scoring them based on, many factors, including the current time, location, etc. In fact, by taking into account so much context in factors, the LLM‘s will be better than people the vast majority of the time understanding what a person meant, assuming they were genuinely trying to communicate something.

it will become very hard to lie because everyone’s personal LLM will pick up on it fairly quickly, and find tons of inconsistencies, which it will flag for you later. You will no longer be fooled so easily, and if it has the context of everything the person has said publicly, plus if the person gives permission for your LLM to scan everything they’ve said privately because you’re their Business partner or sexual partner, it can easily catch you in many lies and so on.

I predict that in the next 5 to 10 years, human society will completely change as people start to prefer machines to other people, because they understand them so well, and taken into account, the context of everything they’ve ever said. They will be thoughtful, remembering details about the person in many different dimensions, and use them to personalize everything. By contrast, the most thoughtful husband or boyfriend will seem like, a jerk seems now. Or a cat.

Humor and seductive conversation, will also be at a superhuman standards. People will obviously up their game too, just like when they do when playing the game go after Lee Sedol was totally destroyed by Alpha go, or when people start using Alpha Zarro to train for Chess. However, once the computers understand what triggers people to laugh or have sexual response, they will be able to trigger them a lot more predictively, they simply need more training data.

And bullshitting will be done on a completely different level. Just like people no longer walk to destinations but use cars to go thousands of miles a year, similarly people won’t interact with other people so much anymore. The LLM’s, trained to bullshit 1000 times better than any human, Will be undetectable and gradually shift public opinion as open source models will power swarms of accounts.
So they lost and have to give up the information/metadata they have. It's just good news that it wasn't much. But that's not guaranteed to always be the case.
