I have 0% stake in any YC, and I'm very vocal in my negativity against any of these "AI" anythings. All of these announcements are only slighty more than a toddler anxious to show the parental units a finger painting looking to hang it on the fridge. Only instead of the fridge, they are a hoping to get funding/investment knowing that their product is not a fully fledged anything. It's comical.
A few footnotes:

The “stick” of the sundial is called a gnomon.

Early hours were not uniform in length (they couldn’t be, really, with a sundial). The Babylonians (and the Egyptians after them) divided day (daylight) into twelve equal regions and night (between sunset and dawn) into twelve equal periods, but day and night hours were not the same length, nor were those of successive days or nights.

Parasite was a kind of job: if you were rich you had a parasite or two who would accompany you when you were out and about. You paid for their food and upkeep and in exchange everyone could see how rich and generous you were.

So so grateful for the open sourcing of all the knowledge about Eink in your brain zephray!!!

So much great information in your readme about Eink. I've already read a decent bit of it, and am going to reference it for the years to come!

I don't know which kindle you have, but my Scribe is noticably faster than the Oasis 2nd gen from 2017. Almost makes me want to replace the Oasis with the latest Paperwhite.
Right, no AI agent has shown itself to be capable of building amazing things. I just thought if current trends hold and big corps keep gobbling up everything to create bigger and better AI models, then even average people will have a lot to gain from it if big corps actually successfully build intelligent AI. Because then the playground would be leveled.
I have noticed this the most in SWE's who went from being code writers to "human intention decipherers". Ask a an SWE in 2019 what they do and it was "Write novel and efficient code", ask one in 2024 and you get "Sit in meetings and talk to project managers in order to translate their poor communication to good code".

Not saying the latter was never true, it's just interesting to see how people have reframed their work in the wake of breakneck AI progress.

Only the dynamically linked bits, the statically linked startup code and libc_nonshared.a are missing from newer versions. Most programs don't need them (who needs working ELF constructors in the main program?). The libc_nonshared.a bits can be reimplemented from scratch easily enough (but we should switch them over to header-only implementations eventually).

I bought The Art and Science of Digital Compositing at Powell's Technical Books in Portland a year before I started my capstone project. It and Computer Graphics: Principles and Practice 2nd Edition in C were my main references.

There was much less open source code to look at back then, and it wasn't as easily searchable either. Working on graphics, I could usually (though not always) resolve an ambiguous directive by trying different approaches and looking at the output. Does the result look like colored snow? Does the whole image now have a magenta tint? I probably need to try a different interpretation (or just fix my bug).
I love how many people just aren't reading the article.

First of all it's both Fusion, the Mac software and Workstation, the Windows one.

Secondly, they're making them free for personal use. They're still paid for commercial use and it's going to be a subscription.
Gemini breaks new ground with a faster model, longer context, AI agents and more
Being able to simply hear the music in your head by reading or writing it sounds like the highest possible audio fidelity.
I think it's just hype fatigue.

There's genuinely impressive progress being made, but there are also a lot of new models coming out promising way more than they can deliver. Even the Google AI announcements, which used to be carefully tailored to keep expectations low and show off their own limitations, now read more like marketing puff pieces.

I'm sure a lot of the HN crowd likes to pretend we're all perfectly discerning arbiters of the tech future with our thumbs on the pulse of the times or whatever, but realistically nobody is going to sift through a mountain of announcements ranging from "states it's revolutionary, is marginal improvement" to "states it's revolutionary, is merely an impressive step" to "states it's revolutionary, is bullshit" without resorting to vibes-based analysis.
They're probably still wary of their latest PR disaster, the inclusive and diverse WW2 Germans from Gemini.
Finally I have switched to Google Gemini for no other reason than it works and ChatGPT doesn't - it's too slow.
Yes they are, and that's part of what so disillusioning about AI. Every major media company and corporation is going all in on AI as much as they can afford to. It will win, not because AI can create a superior product but simply because companies will push AI generated content over alternatives because it's cheaper, and advertising will train people to accept it as good enough.
The response you're waiting for is a refresh of the screen.

The Kindle excels at being a low-cost device for reading novels, or linear non-fiction with no graphics etc. For anything fancier, it's simply not built for that.
You may be able to better pin it down along sharp contrast lines, maybe moving, or flickering patterns. Eg. a black and white grid, stripes, or small checkerboard pattern on an LCD screen. And of course isolate eyes for these tests.

Your brain can fill in a lot of voids before you notice, especially for monotonous areas and static impressions (as mentioned the blindspot or the blood vessels on your retina are usually "invisible" until you provoke awareness through unusual lighting changes, or defined peripheral accounting experiments). You likely won't notice acquired "blindspots" looking at a white wall, or chaotic fallen leaves on the ground, especially where the other eye provides missing information, but at the edges of highly predictable patterns, one eye closed at a time, you may trick your brain to fuck up, eg. blur or indent otherwise clearly defined areas, when it can't decide which color to fill. Reading texts with on eye closed may also highlight "dancing" letters or distortions around your center of vision.

Worth noting, such defects may be caused by progressive conditions like retina detachment or even ocular melanoma, and the association with laser/light accidents may be incidental. If you spot a spot, do not brush it off as a limited loss! Have it checked, even with a likely attributable cause. You may prevent full blindness through medical intervention in case of disease!

Edit: You can see the blood vessels when you look a white wall and steadily move a (smartphone) flashlight in and out of the field of vision, slowly waving the light next to your head, illuminating from your ears to the side of your nose and consequentially your eyes at a shallow angle. This will cause an unusual blood vessel shadow, now meandering through your vision. The blood vessels are also very visible during eye examinations when the doctor moves the slit lamp around (go check it out ;)

Very weird seeing the insides of the very eye seeing, by ... well ... seeing.

> UK MPs do not dare criticize the country's policies anymore

We have to remember that the UK is not a real country. It does not have a real government. It's all Potemkinised. It's all for show. It's not real. It's not run by serious people. It's run for oligarchs and money launderers.

Besides, the 2018 killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi is now a massive 6 years in the past, so no-one is tweeting about it or shaming any Saudi-friendly folks publicly about it any more, so the startup CEOs can come and busk on the Riyadh street corners without fear of retribution.
I suspect it's also a general fatigue with the over-hype. It is moving fast, but every step improvement has come with its own mini hype cycle. The demos are very curated and make the model look incredibly flexible and resilient. But when we test the product in the wild, it's constantly surprising the simple tasks it blunders on. It's natural to become a bit cynical and human to take that cynicism on the attack. Not saying it's right, just natural, in the same way that it's natural for the marketing teams to be as misleading as they can get away with. Both are annoying, but there's not much to do.
The original question asked if anyone had GPT-4o. You're asking a different question.

Steps taken when? When building glibc? And - what steps?

But ld and lld are linkers...

> Zig solves the glibc linking issue.

But Zig is a language. Do you mean the Zig standard library? The Zig compiler?

Why do you need stub functions at all, if you're not actually using them?

It seems that by using the PCIe interface for the M.2, once it's being used for the main disk you cannot share it with other peripherals for example GbE otherwise it won't boot if the OS is being accessed from the M.2 interface.

There's a sibling comment that wished for two M.2 slots for the HAT+, perhaps this the reason why.
Agreed, something that can sober you up or reduce hangovers would be incredible.
AI is a pretty direct threat to software engineering. It's no surprise people are hostile towards it. Come 2030, how do you justify a paying someone $175k/yr when a $20/mo app is 95% as good, and the other 5% can be done by someone making $40k/yr?
Separate note: what do folks use to virtualize Windows on Linux? Is anything good enough to run older games in Windows in a VM? Think Dota 2 (I know it's available for Linux, just using it as a perf reference).
Interestingly, when I use Cloudflare's Warp DNS I don't have access to it. So, it might have something to do w/ region as well?
People have a way of forgetting that everybody poops. Famous people have the same human deficiencies as any other, but if anything talent probably intensifies those issues through relentless focus on greatness or money to the point of complete neglect of yourself.

Bill Gates is super sus, rich, and powerful, but he must feel like hell every time he wakes up or bends down.
There is no speculation needed - the perverse incentives are a matter of fact. Whether it has happened yet or not is academic. Sure, by some miracle the government resists them for now, but that panglossian optimistic view still leaves it a ticking timebomb.
The amount of copium in this response is astounding.

Yes, there is a noticeable negative response from HN towards Google, and there has always been especially when speaking about their weird product management practices and incentives. Google hasn't launched any notable (and still surviving, Stadia being a sad example of this) consumer product or service in the last 10 years.

But to suggest there is a Sam Altman / OpenAI bias is delusional. In most posts about them there is at least some kind of skepticism or criticism towards Altman (his participation in Worldcoin and his accelerationist stance towards AGI) or his companies (OpenAI not being really open).

PS: I would say most people lurking here are just hackers (of many kinds, but still hackers), not investors with shady motives.
Honestly just think that Google has burned their good will at this point. If you notice, most announcements by Apple are positively received here and same with OpenAI. But since Google's "don't be evil" persona has faded and since they went through so much churn WRT products. I think most people just don't want to see them win.
We already knew it was the hottest on record, but I suspect they are looking at beyond that (2000 years).

I don't dispute he is an excellent manager and an excellent CEO. But excellence is execution does not drive vision. The times demand a different profile, as AI is not there yet, but can within the next 24 months become really disruptive for many business models.

One example: Amazon generated $14.65 billion from its advertising services. And Google a gazillion more. But if I send an AI agent searching for me or shop on Amazon, they don't care about the ads.

I think there's a tremendous compute cost associated with both models still... I can't see how either company could withstand the instant enormous demand, even if they tried to command crazy prices.

Even at $1 per 5-second video, I think some use cases (including fun/non-business ones) would still overwhelm capacity.
I can't find a quote I remember reading, attributed to Beethoven, something along the lines of "if people could hear what I hear in my mind, they wouldn't care about my music". Does that ring a bell (!) with anybody? I could not get any language model to help.
The cited research exploring potential weaknesses in the Vehicle-to-Infrastructure standards seems worthwhile, in part because the primary entities (auto makers and a government agency) aren't exactly known for robustly secure early implementations of new emerging technologies.

More broadly, the area of roadway infrastructure tech brings up a pet peeve of mine. The street I live on ends in a T-intersection with a traffic light onto a main thoroughfare in our mid-sized suburb. The cross-traffic on the main thoroughfare can be quite dense but only during peak commute hours. Understandably, the wait for the green arrow to turn left onto our street is quite long after triggering the in-road sensor because it's stopping a lot of traffic which they don't want to do too frequently. Late at night the wait timer is set much shorter since there's very little oncoming traffic. However, quite consistently, there are other periods with equally little oncoming traffic, such as a couple hours every weekday mid-morning and mid-afternoon.

This leads to residents in our neighborhood waiting three or more minutes to turn left in the middle of the day when there aren't even any oncoming cars to stop, and often no cars at all on the thoroughfare within half a mile. Regularly leaving turning cars idling for so long when no other cars are even in sight is environmentally wasteful as well as super annoying. I assume a Raspberry Pi-level SBC with a camera could easily make the traffic signal efficient for cars waiting to turn left without adding any delay for oncoming traffic over the current timer system (or digging up roadway for more sensors).

In this not-uncommon scenario, the "smart light" doesn't need to even be that smart or bullet-proof since it can always fall back to the basic timer if the situation isn't clear and can be gated at the other extreme by a max frequency limit for acting. Which is why I'm puzzled I don't see any such solutions deployed anywhere. It seems like a simple way to improve worthy metrics that's easy to deploy, low cost and has no downsides.
> What if you need seats for 5?

Well, I did say:

>> get the smallest car you can manage with

If you actually "need" 5 seats, then you cannot "manage" with less.
We use GPT-4o for data extraction from documents, its really good. I published a small library that does a lot of the document conversion and output parsing: https://npmjs.com/package/llm-document-ocr

For straight OCR, it does work really well but at the end of the day its still not 100%
> I'm not sure everyone has this ability, but whenever I've written/recorded music, I almost literally hear it before I even try to create it or play it. My memory of sound is REALLY strong

I’m the same. Details in sound is the same as details in vision for me, I can remember the fine details of complete songs seemingly forever (yet my memory for everything else is terrible). And I have the same thing where I have the sound and musical progression of what I’m about to make in my head, ‘playing’, before I even start trying to make it happen on a synthesiser or on my modular system. And I don’t just mean known sounds like violin, piano, etc. I’m doing sound design as well as composition in my mind (I can hear it) before I start doing it for real.

I can easily believe that Beethoven was capable of “hallucinating” the music that he was composing in the same way.

Interestingly, I don’t really get this when reading sheet music, only when I’m creating or reflecting. Presumably, it’s a different pathway in the brain.
I don't think LLVM is particularly good at optimizing VLIW code.

Very good optimizing compilers existed before LLVM. Intel had one specifically for Itanium. It wasn't enough.
This is pretty much a non issue since the crime requires locality and it’s really no different from vandalizing equipment, just with much steeper consequences.

For example, sometimes kids shine laser pointers at helicopters. They get arrested for it. This crime would require a much more sophisticated attack than that which makes it a bit too difficult for a bored teen. Also the consequences aren’t disastrous enough for a terrorist.

I wish people would take into consideration the intentions of an attacker when publishing risk assessments.

Apple made a deal with OpenAI for GPT4o, the stakes are indeed high, can't be caught with pants down. iPhone needs to remain the premium brand.
When I see an important-looking headline like this and then the link is to a YouTube video, my immediate thought is that somebody is optimizing for revenue rather than trying to put out useful information that helps people.
This goes with a lot of "ZOMG UR GONNA DIE" type topics that the media loves to use to scare people with. Statistically, we're almost all a bunch of future cancer and heart disease patients meaninglessly stressing out about being shot by some rando or eaten by a shark or the like, even though the likelihood of these things happening is extremely rare. Most people flat-out suck at estimating risk.
Beethoven wrote a letter to his brothers that he never sent but it’s often referred to as a suicide note. It’s interesting — apparently he hid his bad hearing for a long time and considered it a humiliation. From the letter it also sounds like he was a real dick to people around him as a result, but they weren’t aware. So it serves as a sort of confession, apology and goodbye.

You can read it here it’s pretty short.

Just a warning to everyone: This effect doesn't seem to have much scientific support beyond the cited paper. Other work has followed up and was not able to replicate: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8603706/.
They claim it can accept an "input video and editing command" to produce a new video output. Also, "In addition, it supports masked editing, enabling changes to specific areas of the video when you add a mask area to your video and text prompt." Not sure if that specific example would work or not.
It would seem the real mystery is why did the breakers open.

I have watched a youtube video where a knowledgeable chief engineer who works on comparable ships was very dismissive of the idea that it might be a cyber attack.[1] He was mainly reasoning that the on-board equipment is air gapped from the internet. Which of course it makes an attack more complicated but it is not like the airgap saved the centrifuges in Natanz.

That being said it also does not say that it was a cyber attack. Could be any number of ordinary malfunctions. But i don’t see that the publicly available evidence would exclude the possibility of a cyber attack as of yet. It would be very different if they would have found a damaged shaft in the generator, or a clogged fuel filter. Something hardware-ish.

No. What looks like blueprints and other architectural/drafting related stuff.

https://htdp.org/
Recent libstdc++ has a _dl_find_object@GLIBC_2.35 dependency, so it's not exactly trivial anymore to link a C++ program against a older, side-installed glibc version because it won't have that symbol. It's possible to work around that (link against a stub that has _dl_find_object@GLIBC_2.35 as a compat symbol, so that libstdc++ isn't rejected), but linking statically is much more difficult because libstc++.a (actually, libgcc_eh.a) does not have the old code anymore that _dl_find_object replaces (once GCC is built against a glibc version that has _dl_find_object).

This applies to other libraries as well because there are new(ish) math functions, strlcpy, posix_spawn extensions etc. that seem to be quite widely used already.
But what about Clang and gcc?
That’s true. And how the Saudis choose to run their society is none of America’s business. The feeling that America is intruding into their societies is in fact a huge source of anger in the Muslim world.

But nothing about the principle that societies are entitled to decide for themselves how to govern themselves requires people in America to accept Americans doing business with other people who have very different values. That’s a completely different matter.
That’s a pretty bold assumption to make.
