Tesla has not invested any money into new cars. Cybertruck, after years of delays and promises, is a total train wreck, being Elon's personal project.

He is clearly trying to stretch the con, juice the stock, and get out. There is really nowhere to go after you pull the "we are doing AI" scam.
This is very impressive. If i'm understanding the post they basically created an inrernal api and just have the llm use that api. Seems like a great way to workaround llms struggling to keep track of large codebases.

The benefits have to outweigh the cost. We're finally reaching the edge of silicon based technologies, where improvements are not guaranteed or incremental. There's still, obviously, a lot of possible improvement, but it's finally worth seriously looking at alternatives.

You'll likely start to see optical networking in cars first, fwiw.

I don't think this is the big deal use case for LLMs as much as Microsoft adding their shiny new thing into all the products they have, as in tradition.

This use case is definitely a solution in search of a problem though. Their stated example is something that can be done quickly and locally - for over a decade, mods could list down crafting/processing recipes, item uses and sometimes even highlight inventories with needed items. Everything else about Minecraft's undiscoverability could be solved by writing a comprehensive in-game guide and redoing the achievement system - something sensible instead of calling an LLM.

> getting Disney upset is another. They don't mess around with people appropriating their IP.

I am not sure why everyone repeats this line so confidently when it is so clearly wrong.

Have you been on the internet? Do you understand how common copyright infringement is?

Especially related to Star Wars? Its ubiquitous. Its everywhere. People make fan art of star wars. They write stories. They make fan games. They make youtube videos.

All of that is mostly illegal copyright infringement and everyone is doing it, and basically nobody ever gets in trouble for that.

I am not saying that there isn't a line. There clearly is. You couldn't just release your own star wars movie in theatres, or sell bootleg star wars merch in every walmart. (You could sell infringing merch on etsy, and mostly get away with it though!)

But the bar that you have to go above to actually get in trouble for infringement is extremely high. And a random demo of a bad tie fighter game just doesn't pass it.
It's not a supernova, it's a nova. But I agree with you, stars work by nuclear fusion (thermonuclear fusion), so claiming that this event is "thermonuclear" is beyond stupid. The star is already thermonuclear.

There is a help button in the top right that shows you need to focus on the circle node connectors to "solve' the problem.

At least for the first example:

You have a blue box labeled xt with a single node connector at the top.
You have a purple box labeled ht with a node connector at the top and bottom.
You have a green box labeled Yt with a node connector at the bottom.

The game tells you at the top you have 3 edges remaining.

Dragging a line from one node to another, releasing, and it turning green means you have placed a "correct" connection.

i.e. xt -> ht [bottom] will give you a green line.

Repeat until you have all edges solved for.

It's not spelling it out for you, but once you complete the "game" you'll at a very high level understand the moving pieces within the network, and the "flow" of data.
The safety record says elemental copper dust is an irritant outside very large doses and acute toxicity happens at levels above a gram.

I'm with you on the size issues, though I don't see html/css as solving it completely.

At the end of the day people want magazine layouts, newspaper splash styles, postcard type areas etc. I think even novel writers/editors have a "best viewed at" size and layout in mind that gives a perfect pace to their story.

Html/css gives the tool to switch layouts and potentially adjust to make the best of the area offered, but it will probably always be a compromise in the eyes of the more opiniated designers, and auto-reflowing content would be more of a necessary evil.

Even in our field we have traces of that with our recommended line length, method length, bracket styles etc.
> * Program in American English [only applicable for native speakers]

I don't really care that much about American vs. British English, except that it should be consistent within the code base. But I do think programming in English is generally a best practice that applies even if you aren't a native speaker.

I agree with most of your (dis)agreements, though.
I don’t mind critical but considered comments.

But I find so many many comments are critical and ill-informed. They’re contrarian but unnuanced.

And people with high karma (>15k) overwhelmingly seem to be the least insightful and most petulant and critical. Examples abound. They’re just low quality, similar to how cranky geezers spewing whatever nonsense they want because “they’ve earned it”

Maybe because they have karma to spend?

I feel that to enable good discussion, there should be a diminishing returns to upvotes to high karma folks.

We should also downvote unthoughtful comments more liberally. Otherwise rot sets in.

And it wouldn't be discussed through-out the Internet. It wouldn't be spoken about on CNN and other mainstream media.

It all really comes to this, doesn't it? It all comes to the established belief in the authorities. With enough uncontested claims like yours, the power of ICC would fade. However because of witty responses of skissane, its power grows.

Your doctor or mechanic is not trying to lobby or otherwise influence lawmakers directly.

Obviously interested parties as well as the general public should be allowed input to the legislative process. However, input should not be solely or even primarily be sought from moneyed interests. The legislature has entire government departments at their disposal and should if need be commission their own research.

Sure, I should’ve said I tried to or I intended to:

You can see another comment here, where I acknowledge I communicate badly, since I’ve had to clarify multiple times what I was intending: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40424566

This is the paragraph that was intended to narrow what I was talking about:

> I will say, when EA are talking about where they want to donate their money with the most efficacy, I have no problem with it. When they start talking about the utility of committing crimes or other moral wrongs because the ends justify the means, I tend to start assuming they’re bad at morality and ethics.

That said, I definitely should’ve said “those Effective Altruists” in the first paragraph to more clearly communicate my intent.
You have to be a hermit in a cave if you want to actually do that. Those same people you worry about are also in the grocery store, in the parking lot, at the airport, on the sidewalk, walking around your property. Really there is no added risk in taking transit because you’ve already taken on the risk anywhere else public facing. If anything there’s less risk on transit than many other places you’d find bad characters considering there are surveillance cameras, witnesses, and a driver whose job it is to call the police.
I spend a lot of my time stepping outside of my shoes and making technical things accessible to non-technical people.

People having on-device private AI is something Apple is already pushing. Not sure if you've had a chance to catch up on that lately.

The important parts to explore are what people aren't doing, and what will be ready for people to adopt.

Still, this isn't the perfect example and I think it's a little unrealistic to use this as the reason to shut down the possibility of something easily existing on-device. But it is an example.

It's true, you're focusing on specifically how LM Studio works. But I provided an example that makes it a few orders of magnitude to use on a desktop, and for the interested, this is enough to learn from youtube.

You should see how non-technical people are learning to use AI and teaching others, it is very eye opening.
It is frustrating to read through demos which feature a hypothetical AI that greatly exceeds the capacities of any actual LLM, and which does not consider the serious risks of learners getting misled by confabulations.

It is especially frustrating when I recently tested GPT-4o on a factual question and got 1000 words which were all completely wrong, including fake citations.

It is especially frustrating to read this sci-fi daydreaming after talking to a high school science teacher who was forced to use generative AI tutors in their classes this year, even though these tutors are poorly tested and seem to have a ~20% confabulation rate. This particular teacher is technically sophisticated but even they sometimes get confused and misled by the chatbot. Students don't have a chance.

I think Matuschak has valuable insights on learning in general. But it seems incomplete to go through this AI thought experiment without discussing how inadequate current AI is to the task. "Technology will get better" but what if it takes 50 years?
> Our rationale was that we wanted to go beyond the existing engine integrations (i.e. Unity already has an AI assistant) and reimagine the entire game creation experience with AI and multiplayer in mind.

How does that pan out?

There's hundreds of millions of dollars of product development in Unity and Unreal specifically for game design. How will you ever catch up?

Godot got $8m, for the people who authored it, what does it have to show for it? It seems like hopelessly little money.

Maybe you said to the investors, "You don't want to be locked in" or whatever. The browser still an engine. Mobile Safari and Chrome are also moving targets. You're still playing in someone else's back yard. There are no games that are designed to be played in Mobile Safari and also make money. I mean the browser also has AI assistants.

Obviously I want you to succeed but this sounds more like a good story than a good strategy. It doesn't hold up to an ounce of scrutiny. Right now it sounds like it's not interesting to develop the toolset for Unity because they are already doing it.
A nice idea to make it easier to navigate your way through the gane, but by basically baking in user made strategy guides they can make even more unexplained game mechanics as well as further encourage players into cookie cutter play methods.

That sounds like an interesting practical workaround for certain support issues, yet at the same time it seems... I dunno, like some sort of tiny indictment of the ethics of modern capitalism, the idea that justice is only available to owners.

It wastes a fair amount of your time blabbing on about this cartoonishly evil company, but that evil company has no real effect on the gameplay, so it's just distracting and irritating. And it's not some sly or evocative social commentary; it's ham-fisted and over-the-top. It almost feels like listening to the caricatured horribleness of this company is an extra price you have to pay to play the underlying game.

The gameplay itself is just great though.

By that reasoning even humans are not thinking. But of course humans are always excluded from such research - if it's human it's thinking by default, damn the reasoning. Then of course we have snails and dogs and apes, are they thinking? Were the Neanderthals thinking? By which definition? Moving posts is a too weak metaphor for what is going on here where everybody distorts the reasoning for whatever point they're trying to make today. And because I can't shut up I'll just add my user view: if it works like a duck and outputs like a duck, it's duck enough for any practical use, let's move on and see what do we do with it (like, use or harness or adopt or...).

And be excruciatingly slow, unreliable and wasting Gigabytes of storage. All while consuming tons of CPU time in the background.

The idea of an indexing service is good though. KDE's Baloo faces similar issues. It's not that easy to make it a good experience.

Everything (mentioned in this thread) comes closest to being fast, reliable, and usable. It can even index external disks and search them while offline.

Maybe not React itself, but the UI frameworks that draw devs to the frameworks, yes. Frameworks like that offer the promise of responsive design to developers without actually helping them understanding how it works, and as a result often fail to deliver on that promise. Splitting everything into 12 grid columns often just hides the actual work that needs to be done. Plain HTML is fully responsive by default, almost all framework components are less-so.
On Hacker News, please don't make hostile, dehumanizing generalizations about entire populations.
Huh? It is almost as if you have not read/understood what i had implied w.r.t. Modern Science in my comments above. I had even specifically mentioned "Physical Laws", "Evolution" etc. Notwithstanding the fact that it is our "Consciousness" which "perceives Reality" through "Subjective Experiences" we have managed to remove a whole lot of subjectivity (biases, emotions etc.) through the application of rigorous Scientific Methods to understand a "Objective Reality". All of your Physical Sciences/Technology is proof of that.

Some readings;

1) Objectivity in Science - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objectivity_(science)

2) Subjectivity and Objectivity in Philosophy - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subjectivity_and_objectivity_(...

PS: In the Samkhya/Yoga school of Hindu philosophy there is a neat assertion which goes - Objective Reality exists because it is common to others besides oneself.
It appears to be associated with the use of react based visual components - particularly model type dialogs which when they appear allow enabling scrolling but that can appear partially offscreen.

Obviously it's a developer competence issue, but I wondered if there was a React specific trick here - or as you say it's just that popular tech has by definition numerically more low quality/inexperienced developers.

Just because companies are violating people's artistic ownership and the State isn't punishing or preventing it fast enough is not an indication that a majority of people "could care less". If anything you can see the fomenting dislike with OpenAI right in front of you.

Per the cited real world figures, that's about 1 in 40 tests that pass human review, or a success rate of about 2.5%.

It's hard to see value in spending resources this way right now - most notably, engineer time to review the generated tests. Improve the hit rate by an order of magnitude, and I suspect I'd feel differently.

In this case, most information about Alexander the Great comes from four distinct sources, the most famous being Arrian of Nicomedia who famously used Ptolemy I Soter as their primary source.

Ptolemy at the time he wrote his testimony was already a king and only had benefit of grandizing his own contributions not his old King. His account was famed for how straightforward it was and seemed only to confirm Alexander's exceptional leadership in battle.

My wife and I visited the shipbreaking yards near Chittagong on our honeymoon. It was remarkable. I make field recordings; I was able to do a fair amount of field recording before a nervous foreman invited us to tea, gave us a calendar from the shipbreakers' association, and politely escorted us off the property. Apparently there had been journalists by in months prior doing some investigative journalism into issues of various kinds and while it was pretty clear we were not that, it wasn't worth his job to be wrong. Could not argue. Before we got booted some more junior and affable guys invited us to come through the former hold of a half-dismantled oil tanker and then up on to the fragment of deck remaining and the control tower. Amazing to be where thousands of tons of oil had been in living memory.

The specialization of labor and application of manual force to an industrial process on that scale was mesmerizing, but as you can tell from the photographs, was unsafe in innumerable ways.

Always wanted to visit the ones in Gujarat as well.
the interesting advance in the anthropic/mats research program is the application of dictionary learning to the "superpositioned" latent representations of transformers to find more "interpretable" features. however, "interpretability" is generally scored by the explainer/interpreter paradigm which is a bit ad hoc, and true automated circuit discovery (rather than simple concept representation) is still a bit off afaik.
