> Google did not state when AI Teammates would be rolling out, only saying “stay tuned.”

I think it was a very interesting demo, just a shame that with what I'm used to from Google, it'll either never be released, or will be released only after we've already seen better products by competitors, and then will be promptly cancelled.
> I think the main reason they don't offer a `--make-my-binary-compatible-with-the-ancient-linux-versions-users-often-have` is that GCC/glibc is a GNU project and the are philosophically against distributing software as binaries.

You don't have to statically compile glibc, gcc just needs an option to tell the compiler to target say, version 2.14 instead of the latest one.

The newest glibc has all the older versions in it. That's why you can compile on say ubuntu 14 and have it run on ubuntu 24.

I would love for one of Matt Levine's scenarios to come true and have the Delaware court refuse to allow Telsa to move its head quarters to Texas because the purpose of that move is to evade the Delaware courts ruling:)

I do think Musk will get a huge pay package but in addition to the problems the article discusses....

- pay can't be for past deeds, which means any new package must be for new price goals, and not past performance

- must be from independent counsel which can't possibly happen with the current Tesla board that was all had picked by Musk and has his brother on it.

- any package would immediately crater the stock as it would cause a huge loss to show up in the balance sheet. This would hurt Musk as he's loaned against his stock, he would be causing a margin call on himself by doing it and would have to. Tesla stock is down 31% already this year, another 10-20% down due to the financial hit of a new pay package means alto more forced selling.

Tesla now has bigger head winds than it did back in 2017.

- Now Tesla has legit competition form US and Chinese manufacturers.

- previously they could sell every car they made and keep the float from pre orders, now they can produce far above their sales levels.

- They used to be able to make money from credits, those had two great features, you could recognize revenue immediately for them and they cost Tesla nothing as they got them by virtue of their core business, technically they got them from other car companies, but it cost Telsa nothing. This free money made up a significant portion of their revenue and will be down to zero within a year or two.

- US tariffs on Chinese cars are helping Telsa, and other US manufacturers, at the moment. Biden just announced tariffs would go from 25% to 100% on Chinese cars shortly. Sooner or later a sub $20,000 Chinese EV will go on sale in the US and Telsa will have to face the innovators dilemma and this is a tipping point that many market leader companies fail to over come.
You have to give Google credit as they went against the OpenAI fanatics, Google doomsday crowd and some of the permanent critics (who won't disclose they invested in OpenAI's secondary share sale) that believe that Google can't keep up.

In fact, they already did. What OpenAI announced was nothing that Google could not do already.

The top comments around Sora vs Veo suggesting that Google was falling behind, given the fact that both are still unavailable to use wasn't even a point to make in the first place, but just typical HN nonsense.
If and only if you write web boilerplate all day. Try asking it for advice on embedded and hardware design, it'll just tell you to connect black to red.
Hmm. The MSVCRT.DLL/MSVCRTD.DLL not being binary compatible between releases of Visual Studio is the same thing, except of course you can't even combine some modules compiled for debug with modules compiled without debug in the same executable. The Windows problem has always been so so much worse that pretty much all developers simple resorted to shipping the OS system runtime with every package and it's just expected nowadays. It's where the phrase "DLL hell" originated, after all.

Not to say the ABI problem isn't real if you want to combine binary packages from different Linux-based OSes. Plenty of solutions for that have cropped up as well: containers, flatpacks, snaps, the list goes on.

People getting back to 2nd amendment are a funky bunch, they talk about need for automatic weapons to defend against government, when in reality they would be bringing say ar-15 to a drone fight.

If war in Ukraine showed anything its that armed single guy, or bunch of them, are meaningless against any modern threat. Other, say SHTF scenarios, are just wet fantasies of big kids doing some obscure form of LARP.
Words have meaning and meaning is important.
The AI/LLM boom has really hurt my interest in developing new programming languages. I worry that even if I come up with a new language that's a significant step forward, the lack of an existing corpus for it would limit the ability of tools like Copilot to work with it, which would discourage adoption.
That's why China have almost committed suicide with the one-child policy. That's why all who can try push automation at maximum... That's also why some neo-malthussian think we should drop to around 3G humans, not saying directly but evidently meaning mass killing an enormous amount of people, not counting the fact that good ideas tend to emerge rarely, so to have many we need a large population.

Ask HN: Is anyone else receiving lots of recruiting emails from "AI" startups?
Over the past few months I have been receiving an (alarming?) amount of emails from recruiters working with "AI" startups and I was wondering if other software engineers are seeing the same. All these companies seem to have two things in common: (i) very high base salaries and (ii) unclear products or business models. Some of them mention they are pivoting or transforming in some way, which I guess is fair for a startup, but then I don't understand how they can pay those salaries.

Just for context, I did work on CV and ML for a little bit several years ago but nothing related to the current wave of generative models - so no keywords on my resume that could be relevant for these roles.

Also, I'm quoting "AI" here because that's how these companies define themselves. None of them are doing research as far as I could tell.
I really wanted to read the work about carpets also and even found a copy available online. The price was massive sticker shock however and I couldn't justify buying it.

I love that OOPSLA lecture, incidentally. In my view the software industry really missed the mark on what Alexander was outlining there.
There is a demo booth, so I assume that this is probably working but not at a production level.
Where do you draw the line? GPT2 was introduced as a LLM, and you can easily run it on more limited devices than a recent iPhone. Did it stop being an LLM when bigger models were released? Is llama 7B an LLM or an "SLM"?

Just an aside, gym bros are one of the most friendly, educating bunch when it comes to new comers. Everyone starts somewhere (even the gym bros) and if you are willing to go and ask, they are likely willing to help you get started.

Start on the treadmill walking, lift the easy to learn machines, and stick to a routine. Diet is a great first start. Follow up with exercise. It'll help you keep the weight off and extend your life.

Keep at it.

Article talks about the individual income tax on NSOs in a misleading way. To clear things up, using IRS Pub 525 [1]:

1. As an "nonstatutory stock option that has a readily determinable FMV", the FMV of option would generally be income when it vests. Since it is compensation for services, it would be taxed as ordinary income.

2. When the FMV is included in income upon vesting as described in #1, the taxpayer doesn't have any income when they exercise the option to buy shares.

3. When the taxpayer sells the shares, they have capital gains, but their basis is the amount they pay for it plus any amount included in income previously. In other words, any income included in #1 is not taxed again.

The assertion that there is somehow an individual income tax benefit seems unfounded. Since Tesla has been a publicly traded company at all relevant times, the mechanisms of the income tax shouldn't have changed. (Though of course, the amount of the compensation may differ...)

No, it's constantly accused of such by the Falun Gong (a religious cult that officially believes that David Copperfield is a real wizard), and a lot of western governments looking for something to attack China with amplify the accusation without any evidence. A good way to do that is to cite the conclusions of an "independent tribunal" that no one had heard of, whose only concerns are spreading the consensus about the evils of China and the Chinese, and who are mysteriously funded.

Western governments attack enemy regimes by funding religious cults (with associated militias) like MEK and Falun Gong (which are allowed to have multiple OTA TV channels while the Chinese government are banned from most of the internet.) They also fund fundamentalist Islam in northern Africa, and neo-Nazis in central Asia and eastern Europe.

It's important to dismiss "strong suspicions" from semi-anonymous sources and ask for actual evidence, circumstantial or not. Propaganda is supposed to be what we dislike about China. We shouldn't help spread innuendo if that's actually a value we have.
“Deal” implies consent.
But it’s also a dangerous financial incentive. Oh innocent? Humm, I can make 10k from his organs if that evidence gets lost.
Impressive breadth and depth of information in just the README alone.

When this kind of stuff gets in the open like it does here, I expect rapid innovation and disruption from the crowd.
I think history is full of examples of people using god and religion as an explanation for far more prosaic things than is typical now. An explanation for why crops fail, or a child dies of the flu. An explanation for why a birds song is beautiful or the colour of the sky at dusk. And I think that religious thought would sit more easily alongside other ideas. Rather than something discrete that has a "primary purpose". It was more self evident and less based on modern ideas of faith.

Naively it seems like that has changed. We are far less likely to believe in the power of prayer or that god is the proximate cause of events. I don't think that science is the only cause of this change and in fact religion has been a moderating influence sometimes. But science and evolution do seem particularly powerful. It does give an explanation for many of the most important events and feelings in our lives.

But i think we often take those scientific ideas for granted in the modern world. We teach kids to wash their hands and brush their teeth long before they know the lords prayer. So we don't need to look to god for an explanation of why they died of an abscess or dehydration after diarrhea. And if they do die the questions will be narrower. A question of faith more than practical cause and effect.
Google's PR needs some serious works. I am not even sure if they are dogfooding the actual product...

Search isn't profitable. Their ad business is, and both of those together are their original product. What big successes have they built since?

Gmail is widely used, but is it profitable? Last I checked, their office suite and cloud business were rolled into a single item in their 10K, so it was impossible to tell.
> The demos just become more cringey, the messaging more duplicitous and fake-authentic.

This part sounds like you are going through a rough patch. Like you are feeling down, not sure why, and are digging around for reasons.

What you are saying is legit. What you are feeling is legit. But, it would be worth doing some deep chill soul-searching to figure out if these really are the reasons. Maybe you need a hike in the woods. Maybe you want a job better mission behind it. Maybe I'm full of shit.

Either way, best to laugh at cringey demos. Learn how to use AI. What is good for and what it's not. Use it or don't. Just build stuff people need either way.
Hyper-V? I don't run VM's on windows, only on Mac and Linux. I'd imagine a first class hypervisor like Hyper-V is the way to go on that platform. AFAIK it is included with Pro versions of Windows.

I wonder how well dataset distillation would work between NN <-> KAN. Could significantly reduce training time by seeding the initial KAN model, thus making more of these experiments feasible to conduct and thus can experiment on larger models.

A lightweight model that you can only use in the cloud? That is amusing. These tech megacorps are really intent on owning your usage of AI. But we must not let that be the future.

90+% of "AI" use by the general public is going to happen via Google and Microsoft products. It was always going to be a feature of established, scaled businesses with cloud offerings.

People that think OpenAI is going to replace, or even meaningfully effect, Google are ignoring basic laws of economic gravity.

> What OpenAI announced was nothing that Google could not do already

I don’t think I’ve seen serious criticism of Google’s abilities. Apple didn’t release anything that Xerox or IBM couldn’t do. The difference is they didn’t.

Google’s problem has always been in product follow through. In this case, I fault them for having the sole action item be a buried waitlist request and two new brands (Veo and VideoFX) for one unreleased product.

A) This fills a gaping hole for cheap multimodal models, OpenAI doesn't have one

B) Anthropic's Haiku is a good choice.

You) wow A didn't know Anthropic. Goes to show power of brands, much like snack foods

B) Eh I wouldn't conclude anything from A. Its one comment. some people don't know what an Anthropic is because there's high interest in AI relative to interest in AI APIs. you can expect a low SNR ratio, even on HN

You) Stop personally attacking me! It's against the rules!!

I feel it. I imagine it's how someone like David Foster Wallace felt when postmodernism overtook the culture at large and seeped into every nook and cranny.

How does this model compare to the 3b Gemma if I would use it only with text?
Oh good, now I can get AI generated spam results directly rather than having to click through to the SEO spam pages that Google loves to serve.

More broadly though, it feels like this is going to accelerate the decline of the open web. Fewer and fewer people are going to create quality content as Google steers more traffic towards their own generated content derived from other's original works.
I also have ML chops on my resume, but the only AI solicitations I get are from the Usual Suspects: Facebook, Amazon, Google, etc.

However, I managed to get off of the bottomfeeder recruiter lists a few years back (primarily by deleting my LinkedIn account). That may explain why I've not seen a particular uptick.

The importance of distinguishing climate science from climate activism
In 2017 Tesla was losing money hand over fist, was two weeks away from bankruptcy, was in the middle of "production hell" and was facing competition from upcoming Tesla "killers" like the i-Pace. The sentiment was that as soon as Tesla faced real competition from established makers taking electric cars seriously, they'd die.

Today Tesla has >$20B in the bank and is making >$1B per quarter. They're making mistakes, but have the financial headroom to make mistakes.

OTOH in 2017 Tesla stock was dirt cheap, and in 2024 it isn't. It can be argued it was a better investment in 2017, but as a company it's in much better shape now.
I am not a lawyer but it looks like the creator of the project / repo did not put the appropriate license if they didn't want the designs to be used for commercial purposes.
