While I largely agree with the premise of a converged multimodal world model, I'd argue it's more like Plato's images/eikons than the ideal forms/eidelons. The representations don't seem to be lossless, and instead derive fidelity from the parameter scale.

If we had these representations converge in a real computing neural network, maybe then we could argue that they were Plato's ideals a step above the corrupted quantization of physical forms. But as they are right now, the representations are an even more reduced representations of the physical originals.

Still very neat that it's happening though.

I think a cyber attack seems unlikely, if only because going from tripping those breakers to the bridge collapsing is a hell of a rube goldberg machine. (And if that was only an accident, and their only goal was "make the lights flicker", then that seems a bit of a pointless cyber attack).
I spent the last 20 hours using 4o writing a tauri/rust desktop app. I don't know rust, so it was a LOT of pasting errors back in copying back to my code. But I'd say after about 14 hours it got very lazy. Does AI get tired like humans?

Drones exist. If I slap one of these on the side of an autonomous taxi cab.. how long until they notice? That's a huge fleet ripe for abuse in this way.

This does not relieve the government from responsibly using our tax dollars when creating and delivering these implementations. Papering over real consequences with an after the fact jurisprudence is immensely irresponsible.

MTGA is Arena. Do you mean MTGO?

And you can buy individual cards in arena. You can buy wildcards in the store and redeem them for any card of the corresponding rarity. They’re stupid overpriced in many cases but you can’t say it’s not possible.
Note also that all those old cards were done on physical media, whereas today almost all the cards are done digitally. So the modern cards are much more _detailed_. Check out the Jesper Ewing cards like Frantic Scapegoat. He's notable for creating real paintings. To me they capture a bit of the old feel.

I played this app when it was on netlify and you posted it originally (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38913220). I noticed a few weeks ago the redirection of the domain.

Now I see this today and I'm very disappointed.

I can't click on desktop. It doesn't scale nor does tapping work on my phone. Basically ruined the app for me. I can't imagine my brother-in-law who says he used this app every day will be happy.
See, the thing about computing with someone else's computer is, that someone else ultimately decides what you can do or say with their resources... for good or ill.
They are asking if you can take the context being passed per interaction and train it into a session in real time (via an online algorithm).

Essentially bake the context passed in to the attention layer so that you can pass only the relevant chat context.

Trust me, for the luggage this is a brilliant combination. Or something like 0000. Unless I work for a 3-letter institute, I leave all luggage to their default or the usual.

This lead me to the question of why hasn't there been an effort to do this with 3D content (that I know of).

Because camera angles/lighting/collision detection/etc. at that point would be almost trivial.

I guess with the "2D only" approach that is based on actual, acquired video you get way more impressive shots.

But the obvious application is for games. Content generation in the form of modeling and animation is actually one the biggest cost centers for most studios these days.

On the author’s circular specification problem, there’s an aspect of this that happens in physical disciplines also.

We build houses and conduct surgeries, and planning helps the doing, but doing also helps the planning. One difference is those things are not freely replicable and there are physical costs to building copies or building exponentially improved versions of physical things. So we tend to build roughly the same thing over and over. That iterative feedback loop has been running for decades or centuries, informing the process to the point we can now estimate pretty accurately what it will cost to build a house and estimate how long it will take.

But software is freely copyable. One person can build something and share it with everyone. If it’s widely useful, it gets made into an app, library, framework, or language. We are never spending decades in the plan/build loop honing the process of building the same app over and over. We are, in a sense, perpetually on the forefront building something that hasn’t been built in exactly this way before, and the only way to build the new thing is to plan a little, and build a little, and iterate on it. And it often goes about as well as the first time someone tried to do surgery.

The last non-cellular Windows Mobile Classic PDA was the HP iPAQ 110 Classic. Released in 2008, it ran on Windows Mobile 6.0 Classic and featured a 624-MHz Marvell PXA310 processor, 256MB of Flash ROM, and a 3.5-inch screen with a 240 x 320 resolution. It included Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity but lacked cellular capabilities, making it one of the final models in the declining PDA market as smartphones began to dominate [oai_citation:1,List of Windows Mobile devices - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Windows_Mobile_devices) [oai_citation:2,The End of the Classic Version of Windows Mobile (AKA the PDA)](http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/commentary/end_of_WM_Classic.htm) [oai_citation:3,HP iPAQ 110 Classic - PDA Like It's 1999 - WiFi Planet](https://wi-fiplanet.com/hp-ipaq-110-classic/).

I beg to disagree^2. Tasks, threads, and processes are often structured as rings where there is always a "next" to maintain simplicity of task switching. The overall architecture of resources is modelable as cyclic graphs but implemented as rings, deques, single LLs, and other data structures.

Actually, more nuance: the thing about computing with someone else computer is: that someone else's compliance with various regulations decides what you can do or say with their resources. Worse than it being Google idiocy is that it's something they may actually have to do, as advised by their lawyers.

Because their weakness is in focus and execution, not resources.

If they focused all of their energy on, simply, a frontier AI model, and not trying to shoehorn a half-complete model into all of their products, there is no doubt they would be ahead.

But this is the innovator's dilemma, and why it is that startups are the disruptors.

Big companies move slow and lack focus. Small companies move fast and can only focus on one thing.

There are clear advantages and disadvantages to that approach, but assuming this is the correct choice ( seems plausible, but I am not automatically convinced ), is that the actual reason for being as behind as they are?

I would argue that is not the case. I won't re-list some of the reasons other posters mentioned, which, based on past year, appear more likely ( decisions hamstrung by corporate committees, data governance bureaucracy, and last, but not least, ideology focus ). Leadership that is actually focused on 'delivering value to the shareholder' or not being worried about first mover advantage seems only a part of it.

Except that many of the people involved do think of it like a football game, and thus it actually is like one. Of course the researchers and engineers at both OpenAI and Google DeepMind have a sense of rivalry and strive to one up another. They definitely feel like they are in a competition.

I worked in a hospital system for a time—those documents are often integrated through a medical system where the hospital pays a recurring subscription, and the site developers just plug things through an API to display the documents from the central medical system.

Thus, you have one document that's identical across dozens or hundreds of different hospital and medical system websites.

A long time ago, I held more weight in results from reputable places like Mayo Clinic, but even their site seems to be the same as all the others now.
I think calling it a "palace coup" gives it an inappropriate framing of what happened.

I definitely think that how the board handled the situation was very inept, and I think the naivety over the blowback they would receive was one of the most surprising things for me. But after reading more about the details of what happened, and particularly writings and interviews given by the former board members, I don't think any of them did this out of any particular lust for power, or even as some sort of payback for a grudge. It seemed like all of them had real, valid concerns over Sam's leadership. Did those concerns warrant Sam's firing? From what I've read, I'm of the opinion they didn't, but obviously as just some rando on the Internet, what do I know. But I do think that there were substantive issues in question, and calling it a "palace coup" diminishes these valid concerns in my mind.
How bad does it have to get before it stops working, I mean like phone a friend brittanica yellow pages bad? Quicker and more deeply we get there, the more effort and traction gets behind some breakout solution. Maybe it's just pure cynicism: burn it all.

Remember email spam? It got so bad, that we fixed it. I mean email has its issues and how but spam isn't one of them. I built a spam juggernaught in my day (got bills don't I :)) and I feel like I contributed a tiny bit to our almost-spamless latter days.

Yep. There aren't many software developers I know who have ever touched {Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, Windows} kernel code except for embedded devs, driver devs, security researchers, hobbyists, and SREs/PEs.

The % who have touched kernel bits, wrote a triangle engine scene renderer, wrote a compiler, touched server metal in production, have worked on ASICs, and can put together ML/AI building blocks shrinks way, way down to a handful of living humans.
This is one of these systems where you need somebody at the location you want to hack, and that makes things a lot harder from an opsec / legal perspective.

It is pretty trivial to detect where a malicious radio signal is coming from. Combine that with the requirement that it must come from the country being hacked, where police is presumably easy to deploy, and you get an almost-unhackable system in practice, despite many theoretical security flaws.

Compare that to the internet, where detecting the true origin of traffic (assuming the attackers are using VPNs and/or TOR) is very difficult, and even if you do so, you still have to convince some foreign law enforcement agency to prosecute. This is non-trivial with unfriendly countries like Russia, and actually impossible if the attacker is the nation-state itself.

> and tarballs don't support symlinks.

Err, don't they? If I make a tarball of a directory that contains a symlink, then the tarball can be unpacked to reproduce the same symlink. If I want the archive to contain the pointed-to file, I can use the -h (or --dereference) flag.

There are valid arguments that symlinks allow recursive structures, or that symlinks may point to a different location when resolved by the docker server, and that would make it difficult to reproduce the build context after transferring it. I tend to see that as a sign that the docker client really, really should be parsing the dockerfile in order to only provide the files that are actually used. (Or better yet, shouldn't be tarballing up the build context just to send it to a server process on the same machine.)

> We end up with real time global access from “low trust low income max exploitation because who is going to stop us” wankers to “high trust high income low questioning” societies and everything falls apart.

Obviously, there are "low trust high income max exploitation" folks doing the damage too, as one of the linked articles talks about frauds with wiring large sums (in 100ks of dollars) into Hong Kong, which is itself an expensive city.

Similarly, from the other direction, you've got high-income communities "exploiting" lower-income communities by getting cheaper labour (like getting things produced in China) — paying less than they would locally for the same or larger work effort.

The solution to this is obviously global equalization of salary bands, which is well under way due to an ability to do a lot of highly paid work remotely and globalization in general — but it will take some time (and it's also why China is becoming less appealing in particular: salaries are going up there as well). But that will lead to a new set of problems altogether.
No, you don't need to use linked lists to send a string to the standard output port in most Lisps. You just call a function.
I will say Google certainly has the better branding team. I like Gemini, Gems, and so on. “ChatGPT” is quite a clunky mess. OpenAI just feels like a faceless entity.

All things that could change but seems late in the game at this point. They certainly had the money to be more creative as they came to market.

Some of it is down to that.

Some is down to the metabolic products of ethanol, specifically aldehydes. There are other alcohols (like tert-Amyl alcohol) that people have used recreationally which don't cause hangovers in the same way.

There are other great reasons not to mess with these substances (tert-Amyl is very long lasting and as little as 30ml might kill you), but they do show that some of the hangover is down to the specifics of ethanol's breakdown in the body.
Well I don't know the full content of sparknotes. As far as I can remember, it provided summaries and analyses of literature. Those summaries obviously made reference to the original work. And those analyses were most likely not original & common enough to not need sourcing.

I'm not entirely sure what you're claiming. So because we can summarize books, we should allow the chatbot to regurgitate content and not make reference to the original?
