> But this is looking at the question from the wrong direction.

No, you nailed it with the marketing angle, the overlapping audience is the exact reason it's useful to put them all in one group.

> If you ask "what's the term for a book with explicit sex scenes in it?", the answer to that is "a romance novel".

No, the answer is just "book with explicit sex scenes". That's a cross-cutting feature across all kinds of genres, some of which are neither romance nor even erotica. You can have a thriller with explicit sex. To my knowledge there's no specific, shorter word or term for it.

A romance in publishing-speak is actually a very specific formula in many ways. Romance readers are somewhat infamously picky about their happy endings, for instance. But there's an expected arc of characters meeting, having obstacles to getting together, and finally overcoming those obstacles. That's the heart of the genre, not sex. I know less about erotica, but it's much more specifically and completely about sex.

Sorry, but to the extent it's possible to be wrong about terminology, as defined by actual usage, you're just dead wrong about this.
There are advantages to smaller models, namely you can process a lot more data, with a lot less vram. I think the intent here from the Google team is for a task-specific VLM that you fine-tune on your data, rather than a general purpose assistant.

From my own experimentation I have found it to really pack a punch for its weight. Another small model which has been very good has been https://github.com/vikhyat/moondream .
It’s sometimes awesome, and often extremely basic. “Contact sent you a picture of a group of people at an airport”. Amazing. “Contact sent you a screenshot of a social media post”. Useless. We know iOS can select text in pictures, so Siri can clearly read it. It knows it’s SoMe, so why not give me the headline?
Protections under GDPR apply to both local storage and cloud storage.

In this case both local storage and cloud storage are provided by same company so that distinction doesn’t matter but this storage location agnostic coverage of GDPR comes in handy on Android.

There is not a lot of pricing room between a $1 board with 10c 48 MHz 2 KB RAM chip (as here) and a $5 board with 1 GHz 64 bit 64 MB RAM board running Linux (Milk-V Duo).

That gap is pretty much filled by boards using e.g. the ESP32-C3 with 400 KB RAM, running at 160 MHz. You cvan find quite a few of those for around $1.80.

I left my phone (iPhone) in an Uber in Mexico and the driver ignored my attempts to contact him to get it back. A few weeks later someone attempted to spear-fish me: I was sent a realistic-looking message pretending to be from Apple saying that my phone had been found and I needed to log in to iCloud to see its location. Of course, it linked to a fake iCloud page.
Worth noting Android (or at least Pixel) does have a feature like this, but it actually does the opposite: while a Bluetooth device is connected it keeps the phone unlocked. It would be way more useful in the reverse: that if a Bluetooth device disconnects, it should lock.

These are two different things, since I do not want my phone to have no lock screen just because my headphones are sitting near it, but if it is unlocked and suddenly my headphones disappear, that would be a useful precaution, even if it doesn't eliminate the risk on its own.

How can you call the Nakba a myth? It is a historical event with historical documents. Some of the victims and perpetrators are even still alive today and do describe exactly what happened. Calling it a myth is the kind of denialism which makes it impossible for me to engage with. Climate deniers also deny that climate change is real, that doesn’t make their position correct, or even legitimate, it just makes them wrong, and impossible to engage with.

Now, I’m actually not that smart, and I don’t know how to summarize arguments in a convincing manner. We have plenty of people that have done so already, Wikipedia does an excellent job for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_and_apartheid I guess that is also appealing to authority.

The Messy Middle is an incredible book that essentially details how the CEO of BeHance, back in the day, rewrote Adobe's offering for the cloud, and detailed how he'd do it.

Scott Belsky - now investor himself - writing how he sold both BeHance and Adobe down the road for the rent economy.

I say The Messy Middle is an incredible book, but it is shelf help for dwindling execs.

To their generic credit, the open source scene for artistry and imagery is better than it ever was, because everybody has been priced out of the pro tools that actually can't keep up without community support.
Thank you!

Yes this is the actual working flow. When you click on a sender it should show the emails sent by that sender. Unfortunately, at the moment there's a bug. I'm waiting for a Chrome store review approval for the version with the fix to be published.

I don't think that's Nate Silver's point? He said that some specific journalists are generalizing their social circle's opinion to the wider public leading them to make unfounded claims about the election. It seems clear that for all the attention pro-Palestine groups are given, the issue is basically a rounding error for the election, yet many left wing journalists are adamant that Biden is throwing the election on this issue. Are they bad journalists, or cynical propagandists? Dunno.
My main issue, at least here where I live, is that you can only have a single phone paired to your bank account. If anything happens to your phone, that's it, you are locked out of accessing your bank acc. You used to be able to access your bank account from a telephone call (sure, very arctic and insecure nowadays) or from the bank website without requiring the phone app to authenticate.

Had they provided a second form of access, independently of a single phone, I would be more than fine with it.

The field of inquiry was not algebra. It was a straightforward question using real numbers. I asked it about the first <number> kings of <country>. I don’t recall the exact number, only the stupidity of the answer.

So you understand, let’s say I asked for the first 20 kings of England. It told me it could not give the first 20 because there had only been 30, and that it would give me the first 25 instead.
Possibly, but we are paying enterprise customers (but not using HCP) and this still isn't possible. Seems like an obvious thing they could have at least offered to vault enterprise or TF enterprise customers years ago.
When it comes to the “oldest stars” there is reason to believe that very early there were very big Population III stars that formed very quickly and burned out fast leaving nothing but black holes and there is hope JWST will see some.

In general there are multiple recent observations that things seemed to happen much more quickly in the early universe than we expected so maybe what we think was the first 1 billion years was really the first 10 billion years or there is another big secret to be discovered in cosmology.

I was really excited about those hardkernel boards 10 years until I got one and found I had to use their outdated custom version of Ubuntu and still half of it didn't work.

The answer is that they all suck. I've used them, and I've written them. They sucked 20 years ago, and they suck today.

But they suck differently, for different reasons, and they suck in different magnitudes in the hands of different teams, with different needs.

I have never met an org that was happy with their infrastructure tooling! But I have met some that were happier with some tools than with others.

> Not misanthropic. Masochistic.

I disagree: The real goal is to get others to endorse and support their worldview about how the world works and what their own place within it is.

That doesn't come from the organizer enjoying pain/harm, but from desperately seeking to avoid experiencing a certain kind of it, emotional pain or harm to their ego.

That said, if someone else is willing to harm themselves (physically, financially, legal jeopardy) to "prove" their allegiance to the narrative, that may be considered a more powerful and pleasurable endorsement. Also a sunk-cost also makes it harder for the person to change their mind later.

In other words, more like "messianic cult-leader" and less "Pinhead from Hellraiser."
It's more of a "that they could do it at all" sort of feat. They're coming in somewhat cheaper (probably) and at lower project risk by using off the shelf professional camera lenses than by having tubes made for the purpose.

Your 6" scope is slower, probably much slower, than the telephoto lens they used. There really aren't any amateur telescope tubes I know of that you could directly compare to the 143mm aperture f2.8 Canon lens. The right comparison would be to a 6" apo, which would run $8K-$16K and still be slower.

We view any broad bases planning and restriction as totalitarian because such things can seemingly only be implemented by such structures.

I submit to you that the most brutal totalitarian existence is hard natural truths when the good times end and famine, war, plague, or pestilence come riding. Or the new horseman: nuclear assured destruction.

Basically really smart people all seem to sense that a higher form of societal conduct is needed to avoid the totalitarianism of environmental Armageddon, but there is no way to do it without lesser totalitarianism.

On Having More Interesting Ideas
> its pattern of strengths and weaknesses in code reviews is not the same as human patterns

I agree with you. Which is why I say that they complement. But your reply to Baron implies that what they were suggesting wasn't a solution. I agree with the sentiment of the post to do things in person. But what I take from Baron is that it is much harder to fake the process with GPT because the actual part of the code review isn't so much about finding the bugs, it is you watching someone perform the code review (presumably through screen sharing and a video chat). You could have this completely virtual, but I think you're right to imply that the same task could be then optimized.

But at the end of the day, I think the underlying issue is that we're testing the wrong things. If GPT can do sufficient, then what do we need the human for? Well... the actual coding, logic, and nuance. So we need to really see how a human performs in those domains. Your interviewing process should adapt with the times. It is like having a calculus exam where you test someone and ban calculators but also include a lot of rote, mundane, and arduous arithmetic calculations. That isn't testing the material that the course is on and isn't making anyone a better mathematician, because any mathematician in the wild will still use a calculator (mathematicians and physicists are often far more concerned with symbolic manipulation than numerals).

> other important factors in programming include things like knowing how to program, knowing how to listen, and being willing to ask for help (and accept it), which a board game generally will not test

I agree the game won't help with the first part. But I thought I didn't need to explicitly state that you should also require a resume and ask for a github if they have one. But I did explicitly say you should ask relevant questions. And I'm not entirely convinced on the latter, which are difficult skills to check for under any setting. There's a large set of collaborative games in which do require working and thinking as a team. I was really just throwing a game out there as a joke, being more a stand-in for an arbitrary setting.

At the end of the day, interviewing is a hard process and there are no clear cut solutions. But hey, we had this conversation literally a week ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40291828

Apparently it's a controversial statement for some folks, but yes, having good material conditions basically makes it stupid to commit crimes.

Why would you risk your life or your freedom for some quick bucks when you can enjoy social comfort and 5 weeks of guaranteed vacations per year?

You can thank trade unions for that lifestyle. They fought very hard until very recently. Nowadays it's getting tougher for them and for all of us for sure...

My iOS devices are in lockdown mode 99% of the time. To disable lockdown mode, go into Settings > Privacy > Lockdown Mode, it offers the option to "Turn Off and Restart", then asks for a passcode.

The behavior being described sounds a bit like malware. If it happens again, the best option is to Force Restart (VolUp, VolDown, hold side button until the device reboots), which cannot be intercepted by any apps which might be trying to simulate iOS system prompts.
When Photoshop went subscription I bought the full version of CS6 (or whatever the last non-subscription version was). It was very expensive. Then when that stopped working on Mac, I tried using every reasonable competitor, paid for several. I'm sure some of them are very competent tools, but it was a nightmare trying to learn a new UI. I bit the bullet and started paying the subscription.
I think you are misunderstanding. This post is about new capabilities in GPT-4o. So the existing reasons for RAG may not hold for the new model.

Unless you have some evals showing that the previous results justifying RAG also apply to GPT-4o?
In case anyone else wants to know the solution is:

>> woman = imread("~/Downloads/woman-with-cat.png");

>> imagesc(woman, [0 255]);
>> pkg load signal
>> cat = dct2(woman);
>> pkg load image
>> imagesc(imsmooth(cat, "Gaussian", 1), [-4 4]);

dct2 is unimplemented in the image package but exists in the signal package.
I think privacy is a dumb argument in this context, and "privacy" as a worthwhile tech concept is at risk of being cargo-culted to death.

A Discord is a public space. For most users, hanging out in Discord is akin to hanging out in your local bar. No once cares too much that anyone at the bar can see everyone and overhear all of their conversations. If anything, I am there to be in a public place. The tables are nice and the drinks are cold. And if the owner sees we are unhappy and having a bad time, and uses that information to improve the bar, so be it.

Even if Discord guaranteed absolute privacy, they can't guarantee that some other users is not just scraping the conversation and reposting it somewhere. The danger of "privacy" is when people are being mislead about how alone they are. But just falling back onto a "more private = more gooder" is not an actual argument about risk associated with using Discord.

You can try to convince your friends to go to a worse bar with worse service strictly on the basis that it's more private. And maybe that's a good argument for your friends or your context! But you can't actually assume all of your friends are only going to care about that.

It's not as convincing an argument as some people think it is to run into a Discord server where hundreds of users and moderators are having very public conversations, yelling "none of this is private!", and expecting them to care.
I get really nervous about using LLMs for OCR due to the risk of both prompt injection (instructions in the OCR'd text causing the model to behave differently) and also the risk from safety filters - I don't want an OCR tool that refuses to output text from a document if that text contains offensive language, for example.
Bay Area city orders scientists to stop controversial cloud brightening exp
Oh yeah, like that time you guys locked me out of my phone after I reset it, lent it to a friend, who reset it when they returned it to me?

> Hashes are typically numbers

If we want to get really pedantic, hashes are typically sequences of bytes, not a single number, so really `UInt8Array` is obviously the best choice here. It wouldn't fix the whole "getting arguments with the same types swapped around" issue though. Without named parameters, you have to pull out some hacks involving destructuring objects or branded types like these.
You can say a lot of negative true things about Apple but this is just silly. There is no way Apple is going to expose that data to underlying apps in the same way they refused to do it in Vision Pro. I'd bet a good bit of money it works the same way where it's a layer on top of the app that the app can't access and from the video it looks like that's exactly how it works.
