Yeah.

I like tools that do one thing well. The Kindle has hit that spot for a long time. There were incremental improvements (faster processor, 3G/4G, front light, higher DPI / contrast, etc), but it's surprising how similar a 2010 kindle is to a 2024 one.
This is based on a limericks dataset published in 2021. https://zenodo.org/records/5722527

I think it very likely that gpt-4o was trained on this. I mean, why would you not? Innnput, innnput, Johnny five need more tokens.

I wonder why the NIAN team don't generate their limericks using different models, and check to make sure they're not in the dataset? Then you'd know the models couldn't possibly be trained on them.

Cold plunging has become a bit weird.

First time I went at a sauna/spa place, it was a big deal to watch someone grit their teeth and go into the cold plunge pool, and then step right back out.

I went more recently and there were people just hanging out in it like a hot tub. Granted, it was a group and they were only partially submerged. But they were in there for more than 30 minutes and no one wanted to go into the small plunge pool while they were there.

A DAG visualization of a model is a good abstraction to learn the general structure of the model to help contextualize the code you're reading.
Technically, it does. However, various other IPv6-related standards (like SLAAC, the stateless auto config protocol, often used on local networks instead of DHCP) will break with anything longer than a /64. If you are able to go with an all static configuration, you might be able to get away with longer prefixes.

> N95 respirators should be worn for a maximum of eight hours and should be replaced regularly.

I interpret this as a statement about the lifespan of a respirator, not about what's healthy for the wearer.
> This is such unhelpful, unsympathetic advice.

I think writing this advice off as unhelpful is actually more harmful than offering it in the first place. I think this is very real and very helpful advice. Is it hard to follow? Speaking from experience: absolutely.

Self-control is like a muscle: exercise it frequently, and it gets stronger. It also gets tired and needs rest, and it atrophies with disuse.

And like exercise, it's almost always beneficial. Even folks with physical disabilities see very real benefits from exercise, even when it's hard and painful! I used to live next door to a man who walked with a cane and very obviously struggled to go up and down stairs... And yet any time I would offer him help, he would refuse, because he knew the effort would keep him as mobile and active as he could be, given his circumstances--and do accept that help would actually harm him in the long run by accelerating the decline in his abilities. I doubt I would have his level of discipline were I in his situation, and to this day I envy that of him.

I think going so far as to say "telling someone to exercise self-control is unhelpful/unsympathetic" is exactly analogous to telling someone exercise is harmful. Not "too much exercise is harmful", but "any exercise is harmful", which is obviously untrue.

I'll be the first to acknowledge that humans are innately lazy, and that exercise is hard/boring/inconvenient/whatever. However, we do no one justice by giving them reasons to excuse that laziness. Justifying a lack of internal effort/ability should be and explanation of last resort, not the baseline.

Put differently: very few people are physically incapable of doing a pushup (or whatever other basic exercise you want to reference) due to actual physical limitations. Most who cannot simply haven't put in the work to reach the point where they can.

[E] This turned out longer than I anticipated. It turns out I feel strongly about this, and feel like this is one of the most toxic aspects of the society I feel like I inhabit. People should be encouraged to push their abilities, not given excuses not to. It's all too easy to accept those excuses as truth, and this prevents us all from reaching our highest potential. This feels like a net harm to society and a driver of very real inequality
> The healthy choice is to rebuild rather than upgrade any long-lived OS installation (e.g. your desktop) on distro release.

I wish there was more rigor (and testing) with this sort of thing. Generally systems should have the invariant that “install old” + “upgrade” == “install new”. This property can be fuzz tested with a bit of work - just make an automated distribution installer, install random sets of packages (or all of them), upgrade and see if the files all match.

/etc makes this harder, since you’d want to migrate old configuration files rather than resetting configuration to the defaults. But I feel like this should be way more reliable in general. And people want that reliability - if the popularity of docker and nix are anything to go by.
The fact that they had two explained power failures in port, and they made some changes to the configuration point to more likely causes: they made some faulty reconfiguration or the previously dormant breakers were faulty.

[Fractional] Quantum Hall Effect: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39384522 :

> In 1988, it was proposed that there was quantum Hall effect without Landau levels. [3] This quantum Hall effect is referred to as the quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect. There is also a new concept of the quantum spin Hall effect which is an analogue of the quantum Hall effect, where spin currents flow instead of charge currents. [4]

How are spin currents and vorticity in electron vortices related?
We're not looking at ratios but rather at absolute numbers, the same way a toxicologist would be interested in the amount of mercury in a person's system (rather than its ratio to other substances consumed); or a judge in how many banks one has robbed (rather than the ratio of that number to one's non-crimes).
An interesting analog to this is finding the/a sequence of moves leading from the standard starting to a given chess position, this is called https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_game

In fact, this is a problem I'd love to see AI companies tackle, especially since it is somewhat related to automated theorem proving.

Please try to actually understand what og_kalu is saying instead of being obtuse about something any grade-schooler intuitively grasps.

Imagine a legally blind person, they can barely see anything; just general shapes flowing into one another. In front of them is a table onto which you place a number of objects. The objects are close together and small enough such that they merge into one blurred shape for our test person.

Now when you ask the person how many objects are on the table, they won't be able to tell you! But why would that be? After all, all the information is available to them! The photons emitted from the objects hit the retina of the person, the person has a visual interface and they were given all the visual information they need!

Information lies within differentiation, and if the granularity you require is higher than the granularity of your interface, then it won't matter whether or not the information is technically present; you won't be able to access it.

Show HN: Genkit does not have an official OpenAI plugin, so we open-sourced ours
Google just announced Firebase Genkit at the Google I/O Developer Keynote. Firebase Genkit is an open source framework that helps you build, deploy, and monitor production-ready AI-powered apps.

In case y’all want to build on Genkit and want to use models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, Groq, Mistral, etc - we’ve just open-sourced our community plugins here: https://github.com/TheFireCo/genkit-plugins

Some plugins are still in the making, so code contributions are more than welcome!

Serious question, not a troll.

If we sought maximal safety, would we not mandate a traffic control OS and require external control of vehicles?

The tech exists; yet there is a gnawing concern that such a traffic OS might result in unintented consequences.
These will be remembered as the AI wars.

"With half of the jobs eliminated by robots, what happens to all the people who are out of work? The book Manna explores the possibilities and shows two contrasting outcomes, one filled with great hope and the other filled with misery."

And here are some ideas I put together around 2010 on how to deal with the socio-economic fallout from AI and other advanced technology:
https://pdfernhout.net/beyond-a-jobless-recovery-knol.html
"This article explores the issue of a "Jobless Recovery" mainly from a heterodox economic perspective. It emphasizes the implications of ideas by Marshall Brain and others that improvements in robotics, automation, design, and voluntary social networks are fundamentally changing the structure of the economic landscape. It outlines towards the end four major alternatives to mainstream economic practice (a basic income, a gift economy, stronger local subsistence economies, and resource-based planning). These alternatives could be used in combination to address what, even as far back as 1964, has been described as a breaking "income-through-jobs link". This link between jobs and income is breaking because of the declining value of most paid human labor relative to capital investments in automation and better design. Or, as is now the case, the value of paid human labor like at some newspapers or universities is also declining relative to the output of voluntary social networks such as for digital content production (like represented by this document). It is suggested that we will need to fundamentally reevaluate our economic theories and practices to adjust to these new realities emerging from exponential trends in technology and society."

And a related YouTube video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p14bAe6AzhA
"A parable about robotics, abundance, technological change, unemployment, happiness, and a basic income."

My sig is about the deeper issue here though: "The biggest challenge of the 21st century is the irony of technologies of abundance in the hands of those still thinking in terms of scarcity."

PDFs and comics are not a small use case at all - the push to larger screens is mostly driven by people who want to read scientific papers, business documents, etc which come in pdf form, or manga and other graphical works (the drive for color ereaders seems to come almost entirely from this segment). The smaller "ebook only" readers are much cheaper and marketed less aggressively.
I reminded you that you shouldn't be rude. You don't need to be rude to get your point across. I was arguing in favor of the same perspective, I was insulted by the same person, but I managed it. Frankly I find it absurd for you to say this person is "behaving like a child" and then, when challenged on your behavior, to turn around and say "they started it."

Google figured it can't beat OpenAI technically, but they sure know they can beat them financially and infrastructurally.
AI should be applied towards the mundane tedious tasks that people dont want to do or would rather not do. Example: cleaning public toilets. While this is more a robot thing it does require AI.

AI is a tool. I feel its the attitude of the big players wielding those tools that is more the problem. Instead of applying AI to tedius unpleasant tasks they seem to want to go for the more creative tasks that we would classify as "The Arts". It seems the big players were applying AI to purely cut Labor costs.
That would be fine if we didn’t selectively pick which countries we apply those rules to. China is an ethical nightmare but we have and continue to do business with them, why change that when it comes to the Middle East.
Yes, this intersection has that. The problem is the sensor starts a timer that's set to 2 or 3 minutes for most of the day. This becomes a minimum wait time even when there are no oncoming cars for the entire wait period. At this intersection, the wastefully pointless "idle there for 3 minutes with no other cars anywhere in sight" scenario happens quite often.

There's also an even more perverse failure mode: we often end up waiting for 2.5 minutes with no other cars anywhere in sight, then when a lone car is randomly approaching the light that's been green for no cars (going its way) for 2.5 minutes, that one car gets stopped and waits as we finally get our turn arrow after 3 minutes. If the light was the least bit "smart", it would have changed for us right when we pulled up and no other cars were in sight. The turn arrow is only 10 seconds, so we would have been long gone and the intersection back to green by the time that other car was approaching - no car would have needed to wait and everyone would have been better served.
I do not doubt the academic credentials of anyone involved, and I'm sure they earned them fairly, but that doesn't influence my view of their report. If we're talking about the background of the report, I need go no further than noting that it was funded by Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth.

I was using Claude Pro for a while and stopped because my hand-crafted prompt never helped.

I'd constantly be adding something to the tune of, "Keep your answers brief and to-the-point. Don't over-explain. Assume I know the relevant technical jargon." And it never worked once. I hate Claude now.

I have next to no interest in LLM AI tools as long as advice like the above post is relevant. It takes the worst of programming and combines it with the worst of human interaction: needing an ultra-specific prompt to get the right answer and having no means of knowing what the correct prompt is.
Feel free to ask a friend you trust to be honest with you whether I was unfair, and whether there's a material difference between saying someone is childish and saying they "sound like a child," telling them "don't be childish," and saying they "behave like a child."

It was mentioned elsewhere in the thread, but alcohol is an amazing chemical for absorbing other potent flavors. It's why it's commonly used for herb extracts and medicines. Part of what I like about many alcoholic drinks is they have pungent flavors that are hard to find elsewhere. An herbal liquor is going to often have much stronger flavor of the herbs than you'd get from making a tea or a soda.

There's also more diversity in the options because it's a natural preservative. Much easier for a store to stock niche-flavored spirits in small quantities when they functionally never go bad, which in turn helps keep a market for niche products that wouldn't exist if they needed steady high demand. Even something as popular as Fernet Branca doesn't really have a flavor equal in any other beverage class.
My bad. Yes, I was thinking of glances.
Then why imply that it is a commodity because they (partly) compete on price?

Fungibility is the defining characteristic of commodities. While these products can be used to accomplish the same task, we're not near real fungibility yet.

The kind of dumpster you see behind a restaurant weights 1000-2000 lbs empty, and another 1000-2000 lbs full.

The effort and risk profile of pushing one of those over to an intersection is completely different than wireless interfering with a system.

This comparison isn't logical at all.
I don't know whether you meant the submitted title ("A malicious vehicle can block "smart" intersections in the USA") or the current title ("One malicious car could trick smart traffic control systems in the US"), which was my attempt at shortening the article's own title* to fit HN's 80 char limit.

In any case the GP comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40359800) broke the site guidelines either way; we're trying to avoid shallow internet dismissals here. They're not only uninteresting in themselves, they influence threads to become less interesting.

Not disputing all of that, but telling the GP flat out "no" is incorrect, especially when distributed training and inference are the only way to run modern massive models.
