I don't specifically remember it though I'm sure I've seen it. I'll maybe take a look when I'm in Manhattan in a bit over a week. It's actually in a pretty trafficked area near the model boat pond and a Fifth Avenue entrance.
I do this on a couple of devices where I'm not logged into accounts at the device level, so app stores are not always available. I end up using the browser for most things, and it works great. The browser saves my sign-ins, and I bookmark sites like apps to make them easy to access. Works really well, dodges all the weird app stuff (app store exclusivity, permissions, app upgrades, etc.). This is all Android though, so I can add all my browser add-ons that make the web usable, which helps the overall experience tremendously.
Google has "demoed" dozens of seemingly world-changing products that lead nowhere (remember Google Duplex?). It's impossible to ascertain from an event like this the extent to which demos are cherrypicked or faked entirely.
> The Windows problem has always been so so much worse

Hard, hard disagree. The problems are somewhat comparable. But if any platform is more painful it's Linux. Although they're similar if you exclude glibc pain. At least in my personal experience of writing lots of code that needs to run on win/mac/linux/android.

> pretty much all developers simple resorted to shipping the OS system runtime with every package

Meanwhile Linux developers have resorted to shipping an entire OS via docker to run every program. Because managing Linux environment dependencies is so painful you have to package the whole system.

Needing to docker to simply launch a program is so embarrassing.

> except of course you can't even combine some modules compiled for debug with modules compiled without debug in the same executable

That's not any different on Linux. That has more to do with C++.

That's a prosecutable abuse of power by Apple.
I've tried CoPilot a few times and it sucked for me. The last attempt was when I was trying to find a text document where I documented a bunch of SMART data. I asked it if it could help me find a document with SMART data in it and of course it says "yes!" Then it proceeded to give me the dumbest suggestions I've ever seen in my life. The dumbest was to use CrystalDiskInfo to search for documents containing SMART data.

The only innovation AI is making from what I see is that it can replace people and doesn't cost anything. It's dumb as bricks and can't say "I don't know."
You realize when you say, "Microsoft", you're basically talking about OpenAI tech right?

Here is the conclusion from the article: "Across 71 benchmarks ran across all three Scaleway Elastic Metal instance types, the EM-RV1 was much slower than even the aging Intel and AMD x86_64 instances. The EM-A315X that is using a 10 year old Ivy Bridge Xeon with 4 cores was around 7.4x the performance of this RISC-V cloud server. Or the half-decade old Ryzen 5 PRO 3600 within the EM-A210R instance was 18.3x the performance of the EM-RV1. Comparing to the very latest Intel and AMD CPUs would be even more mind-boggling advantages for latest x86_64 performance over RISC-V. See all the benchmarks in full here.

The Scaleway Labs EM-RV1 is interesting for a number of reasons as noted and a great way to dabble with RISC-V cheaply in the cloud, but do so with realistic performance expectations."

Basically, the reviewed RISC-V chip is not competitive because it is a about seven times slower than a 10 year old Intel chips. My guess is its performance per WATT is lower than current chips from AMD, Intel, and ARM.

> I don’t think I’ve seen serious criticism of Google’s abilities

Serious or not, that criticism existed on HN - and still does. I've seen many comments claiming Google has "fallen behind" on AI, sometimes with the insinuation the Google won't ever catch up due to OpenAI's apparent insurmountable lead
In a world of IKEA, people still perfect the craft of handmade furniture.

In the era of the camera, people kept painting. Some still paint landscapes — others were driven to create new forms of expression.

Poets still exist in the era of tweets, and directors shoot on 35mm in the age of TikTok.

Change is constant — but there's always joy in finding something you love and diving deeply into it.
Bingo.

>> One had 380 micrograms of lead per gram of hair, while the other had 258 micrograms. For reference, a normal level of lead in a gram of hair is around 4 micrograms or less. His hair also had 13 times the normal level of arsenic, and four times the normal level of mercury.

What is "normal"? Normal for now, or normal for the 17th century? Looking at the hair and makeup regimes of the wealthy, they were all probably soaked in poisons. Arsenic seems more common than garlic, lead used more liberally than salt. If we apply modern standards for poisons, nobody should have survived those times.
Yeah, you can argue Sean Hannity was a pioneer, as well as the alt-right. I don't think the alt-left has come close to matching the overall ridiculousness, truthiness and evil.

Still they have their moments, and it seems people care more big picture, than the veracity of the argument; but there's valid reasons for that.

People are sick of being manipulated by arguments that seem so logical, yet drive them in directions they think are evil.

If you're a Christian, chances are you think this about abortion or something. For people (me) that are "woke" it's racism/bigotry.

There's legitimate reasons not to hear people out on some of these issues.

Do you really think ...with multi-model modals and action-based models that AGI isn't coming? AND FAST? The AI news cycle continues to speed up, not slow down. It's not even an ebb and flow.

AI is a baby, it only takes 5-10 years for it to become a teenager or adult, at that point it can do just about everything a human can do.

> There is for example no such thing as general intelligence
I think general intelligence means a single machine that is better than 100% of people in every aspect, perhaps every reasoning and logical aspect at first, but when these are in machines -then also physical aspects. That is highly do-able in the next 5 years.
AI could also be used as a tool to help you develop the language - you could try to teach your language to a LLM, or finetune one to help generate the language, or simply plug in a grammar to the ones that can restrict by grammar and have a ready-made generator.

It's responsive enough to do what it was purpose built for - read a book. It can do other things, but it's not made or marketed to do them, so they keep the cost low by not innovating on responsiveness. Instead, they make it more comfortable to use in other ways, such as how it's held and navigated, and the backlight.
Most trials in the US never go to jury, right? The risk of receiving a crushing sentence is just too big, so almost everyone accepts a plea bargain.

Ask HN: What area of AI/ML doesn't get enough energy?
There’s been so much focus on LLMs, image & video generation, and text to speech models lately.

These models obvious have wide general purpose capabilities, so they are particularly useful to folks technical and non-technical.

I’m curious what (relatively) general model domains does the HN community not think get enough research and product building energy?

For example do you think that image recoginition or non-verbal audio recognition isn’t getting the direct sunlight it deserves from both developers and customers?

Watching those direct-drive robots jump and land smoothly is impressive. No problem with shock loads. They look like they're on springs, but there are no springs; it's all magnetic fields in the motor.

With good temperature monitoring and over-speced MOSFETS, those direct drive motors can probably be way overdriven for a few hundred milliseconds. That's probably the future. You don't need that extra power all that often, but sometimes you do.

I have no problem with “exascale” or whatever, it’s just not a barrier, there was nothing in particular to overcome to get there, it’s just a signpost along the normal path forwards.

Unlike the sound barrier in flight, it was for a while thought impossible to fly faster than sound and there are indeed models of subsonic flight that have an infinity in them at the speed of sound. It indeed took new models and radically different designs to fly faster than sound.

Making this computer do a certain number of calculations didn’t involve any such problem to overcome.
Are you sure thats not just the blind spot? It's quite big - roughly the size of a rubbish bin lid on the other side of a bedroom.

Here's how to spot it:

Hold you hands together, with thumbs up, at arms length. Close your left eye, and slowly move your right thumb away to the right, while looking at your left thumb. At around 6 inches it will dissapear.

It's kind of hard to notice when my thumb is static, but it's more obvious if I wiggle my thumb while doing it.
That reminds me of one case, where an author of software saw any improvement or genuine feedback as a personal attack - directed at him and his "legacy". Can't go into specifics, but only features directly or indirectly praising the original software were allowed. I was student/intern at the time and learned about that the hard way.

Still, one of most important teaching moment to this day.
No. Developing on a bigger monitor is always going to be a better experience, but you can certainly develop on a 13inch screen as well (when traveling or out and about).

"...a new (often anticipatable) requirement seems to appear..."

And often not, particularly when you are building a new system. And if you are replacing an existing system, the requirements that you discover are usually, "it must work exactly the same way as the old system."
There's foolish optimism too. E.g. what is stopping the dubai government from ending laws like death penalty for homosexuals and atheists, or being put on trial for violating ramedan as a nonmuslim? Nothing, except for their cruel leadership who is interested in harming groups they don't agree with in this manner. Why would you expect to change if it hasn't already? What evidence does the leadership need to wake up from their bigotry and hatred? Has logic and empathy ever shifted a bigots opinions before? I think not. You can argue well "the next generation will be better" but at the same time this current generation of leadership is the generation that should have known better, yet here we are.
Long context is a little bit different than extra email storage. Having 1 gb of storage instead of 50 mb has essentially no downside to the user experience.

But submitting 1M input tokens instead of 100k input tokens:

- Causes your costs to go up ~10x

- Causes your latency to go up ~10x (or between 1x and 10x)

- Can result in worse answers (especially if the model gets distracted by irrelevant info)

So longer context is great, yes, but it's not a no-brainer like more email storage. It brings costs. And whether those costs are worth it depends on what you're doing.

There's no daylight between this and calling them childish. But I fully acknowledge they were also at fault, particularly the thing about getting you fired, and the reason I didn't make any defense of or apology to you is that it didn't seem to be getting under your skin.

I would say that response fails to demonstrate maturity, and wasn't an appropriate response to your question. You don't have to take the bait. Two wrongs don't make a right, you shouldn't respond to a bad comment with another bad comment, etc.

If someone isn't giving you something substantial to respond to, you can choose not to respond rather than responding inappropriately.
Just wondering if I understand the Apple ecosystem correctly.
Yeah it's hard to read this as anything other than "I'm an awesome idea and marketing guy and I partnered with this lowly engineer to build something, which is super easy, and a monkey could do. I paid them an ENORMOUS ($84K) salary and granted them a HUGE (5%) amount of equity, and after saddling them with impossible product requirements on zero budget and failing to find product-market fit, his bad attitude ruined all my awesome ideas. Hacker News plz halp me kick this useless CTO out!"

Although the initial plan didn't work out, I can confidently say that kicking out the toxic CTO and throwing another $100k to a different lowly code monkey will definitely fix OP's problems. $100k won't even pay for a proper Shopify migration in 2024, but OP's product ideas are so awesome that they'll change the world, if only it weren't for these toxic 5% co-founder CTOs being paid Burger King Manager wages with their bad attitudes.

Who needs introspection when your ideas are just that awesome?
To me this is just one of many infrastructureisms. Tools, platforms, etc are all leveraging metaphors that don't map well to the mental model of _application development_.

No, this is simply cause and effect. I wager a number of security researchers don’t find any moral issue with selling exploits, but prefer to be paid a bounty by the big corp due to ease and cachet. If that’s no longer tenable, they will hold up their middle fingers and just keep doing what they do. You can tell them they’re acting immorally all day long, but you will only be wasting your breath.
No like, the point is that the only reason you (and I: I do this all the time, including with my open source software... like: no judgment) want to target some old version of glibc is so you can distribute that binary to people without caring as much about what version of the OS they have; but that would be unnecessary if you just gave them the source code and have them compile their own copy for their system targeting the exact libraries they have.

> Maybe it’s me but the advances in AI are just leaving me feeling disillusioned as a builder.

I think we're living a big evolution in tech and as a developer myself I think it will take time to really adopt those tools (and not fear them). For now, to be honest I don't see any big advantage using AI for code generation. However I think today stuff like ChatGPT are great dev rubber ducks. Sometime it helps you think and put you on the right path.

> There’s an odd feeling that whatever I am going to build will just get gobbled away by some big tech company.

I could be wrong but for now we're still in the hype train, AI companies are showing off everything they can to impress and raise as much money as possible (because their own subsistance is based on huge amount of money they're not able to generate by themselves). Don't get me wrong, what they are showing us is extremely impressive. But today I tend to think those tools will give more credit to the builders that will imagine and build apps and tools with something AI eats but doesn't have... Creativity, Taste and Imagination.

I might be a fool to believe that but If I compare that to cooking, even if you have restaurants where that only re-heat stuff that taste good, people still appreciate a good meal prepared with love by a real chef :)

So my only advice here is: be a chef, build what you think makes sense to you, be happy at what you're doing. Learn, try, brake and build but just don't stop doing it.
