"urgency"? That's what they want you to think... and yes there are lots of articles but they get quickly flagged by those who don't believe in that religion.
It would be also quite normal for design plans to just specify that it should be "screwed here", depending on standard practices to use the standard screw locking.
There is no serious comparison to the performance and richness offered by native applications. Famously (and wisely), Apple quickly reversed their decision on web apps for iOS devices.

Those stupid, immoral things that the author did at 17 were also done on purpose. The mistake is in the reasoning that led to the decision to do the action.

Pai's mistake was _deciding_ to commit research fraud, and then doing it.
That number in itself doesn’t say anything.

What really causes a database to sweat is high cardinality.

Ask HN: Drumset form-factor for alternative keyboard?
I'm looking for a keyboard that I can use sort of like a drumset: I put the device on my desk, it's perhaps the size of a large keyboard tray but curved upward, I hold drumsticks and bang away at big labeled key buttons/targets. Modifier keys with pedals at feet and/or elbows. I haven't been able to find anything like this online.

If no such thing exists, I wonder how you would build it easily/cheaply. What is the simplest way to build a "software keyboard" on ubuntu? (my preferred OS). There are a lot of resources online, but it all seems to get rather esoteric quickly for a problem that appears to be relatively straightforward from the outside.

My motivation is RSI; I've tried many things including kinesis and friends, alternative layouts, various form-factors, etc. Most things work for me a bit for a bit, others not at all.
Sunk cost fallacy most likely.
Why would we take A.I. out of the equation?

Presumably, the production company and Scarlet Johansson would have it in their contract what to do in case she doesn’t want to act in a sequel.

No contract exists between OpenAI and Scarlet Johansson.
The way they generate account numbers is also perfectly and beautifully simplistic.
One is so easy, to run MS's software really locally. Just disconnect any Internet wires and wipe the system before installing any update from M$ to prevent Windows phoning home with my AI experience.
The point is that you can say the same thing about the ships they sail to Bangladesh for breaking up.

Sail them to Bangladesh, they are responsible for "recycling", problem solved.

The problem is that the place they end up looks like a huge dump where clothes end up to die. And with huge environmental problems. And health problems.

I am aware that shipping has less environmental impact, but was it really the intention that the clothes should have the same transportation impact when being "recycled" as when they were first manufactured? I'll let you come up with the numbers.
> Usually when people do this, they don't care that anyone with a half a brain knows they are lying, because they focus their attention ripping off people who don't have half a brain.

Indeed. The scammer doesn't care if most people disbelieve, they only need a few (their victims) to believe very strongly. The goals of being generally believable and very convincing to a few can even be mutually exclusive.

Especially when things like defamation litigation threats silences people who know he's lying, or at least keep them easily dismissed (e.g. posting anonymously).
The thing is that this preferential treatment should be the default - people should be able to get their accounts looked at, but as always there are hold-ups and moderator shortages and whatnot that drag waiting times closer to infinity. It's not like everyone else is guaranteed to be banned indefinitely - it's more akin to pulling your friends out of the line and helping them yourself. As long as it's not done at the expense of everyone else, I don't care much for it.
No. But in this particular case, there are two factors that make that irrelevant for me. One, I would have made their same mistake. (If I was Sam, I too would have found it a really cool idea to make GPT have the voice of Her, and I too would not have realized there was one dumb court case from the 80s standing in the way of that.)

Two, it’s bogus that conceptually this isn’t allowed. I’m already anti-IP — I think that IP is a tool that corporations wield to prevent us from using "their" ideas, not to protect us from being exploited as workers. And now this is yet another thing we’re Not Allowed To Do. Great, that sounds like a wonderful world, just peachy. Next time maybe we’ll stop people from monetizing the act of having fun at all, and then the circle of restrictions will be complete.

Or, another way of putting it: poor Scarlett, whatever will she do? Her voice is being actively exploited by a corporation. Oh no.

In reality, she’s rich, powerful, and will be absolutely fine. She’d get over it. The sole reason that she’s being allowed to act like a bully is because the law allows her to (just barely, in this case, but there is one legal precedent) and everyone happens to hate or fear OpenAI, so people love rooting for their downfall and calling Sam an evil sociopath.

Someone, please, make me a moral, ethical argument why what they did here was wrong. I’m happy to change my mind on this. Name one good reason that they shouldn’t be allowed to replicate Her. It would’ve been cool as fuck, and sometimes it feels like I’m the only one who thinks so, other than OpenAI.

Great work as usual.

I was pretty upset seeing the superalignment team dissolve at OpenAI, but as is typical for the AI space, the news of one day was quickly eclipsed by the next day.

Anthropic are really killing it right now, and it's very refreshing seeing their commitment to publishing novel findings.

I hope this finally serves as the nail in the coffin on the "it's just fancy autocomplete" and "it doesn't understand what it's saying, bro" rhetoric.

> small fractured markets, low salaries, high cost of living relative to wages...A big issue is there's a lack of mega successes high margin software businesses that pump knowledge and money back into the startup ecosystem.

Honestly, these factors apply to many countries outside of the US and stops them from being startup hubs as well. Singapore is in a similar position; despite its wealth and apparent connectedness as Southeast Asia's preferred location for company HQ, it didn't really succeed in kicking off a virtuous circle of winners helping fund new startups. It's pretty hard/costly to acquire customers in disparate small/nonwealthy markets, especially if they stick to established brands.

A related factor is investors' relative unwillingness to take on risk, because big payouts haven't been observed. So VCs all pile into the same few existing winners that are actually looking like they'll hit a payday.

At one point in 2013-2016 there was a flurry of support for new startups due to aggressive government funding grants and subsidies, but very few of these managed to cross the chasm and raise significant follow-on rounds. A few years later, the funding schemes were cut (due to a lack of observed successes) and the early-stage scene grew quiet.

It feels like only very big, integrated markets can support a dynamic startup scene (the US and China). It doesn't seem to happen without easy access to similar consumers/clients and the willingness of those clients to try new services and companies.
> OpenAI's mistake was caving to SJ. ... If SJ sued, they could simply prove another voice actor was used and make the legitimate argument that SJ doesn't have a monopoly on voices similar to hers.

Or... hear me out... maybe they couldn't prove that, which is why they caved. Caved within a day or so of her lawyers asking "So if it's not SJ's voice, whose is it?"

In the formalization of mathematics, things are built up structurally. Zero is the empty set. Natural numbers are sets that contain smaller natural numbers. Integers are pairs of natural numbers under an equivalence relation (a,b) ~ (c,d) if a + d = c + b. Rationals are pairs of integers under the equivalence relationship as above but if a * d = c * b. Reals are bounded sets of rationals (e.g. all the rationals q such that q * q < 2). Complex numbers are pairs of reals with addition and multiplication defined with i^2 = -1. Functions are really large sets with ordered pair (x,y) in the set f means f(x) = y. Etc.
That kind of reasoning seems amazing to me. Some people didn't perform as well on the test as the judge wanted, so the test is wrong. It's even racist!

Can you write functions and classes in Python that roughly mimic the DSL you're aiming for? This is often called an embedded DSL, and it's a great technique for allowing developers to work with domain objects inside a language that they're still familiar with.

There's a handful of templating languages that do this sort of thing using functions, so in Python you might write

form(
{"method": "POST"},
label(
"Name",
input({"type": "text"}),
),
)

The learning curve becomes significantly lighter because you're just using Python constructs in the Python language, which means your IDE can suggest functions to you like it would with any other library.

I think the media played a big part of it along with his litigation threats silencing the parts of it that knew better. Most of the coverage that did come out kept treating him and his claims as credible, astonishing as it was.
My kids attended the same high school district that this student's school, Canyon Crest Academy (CCA), is part of. My youngest has friends that attended CCA and I asked him once why he didn't want to attend (it's an open school district) -- his reply is "all they do is study for AP tests."
So I'm thinking there might be other pressures (i.e. parental) to perform, and this student may have responded in a desperate fashion.

2. What one does in their own time is personal business but what one does in their own time on company IP is not personal anymore. The person might even get fired, the karma point or couple hundred are not worth the risk.

3. This just creates a channel to identify the weak links in human chain for phishing attacks

I once flew from Weston-on-the-Green as a guest on a sky diving flight, a couple of years after this accident. We went right up to 12,000 feet which I was told was the natural ceiling for this sort of activity.

It amazed me that everyone on board could think straight at that altitude — it really affected me dropping to two thirds atmospheric pressure so suddenly. As I recall we didn’t spend long at altitude: the aircraft and the sky divers went pretty much straight up then straight down again with surprisingly little difference in time spent in the air between them and us. You’d want to have your wits about you anyway when jumping out of a plane, let alone one where the landing site is next to two busy roads (the newly built M40 near the Oxford/Bicester A34 junction.)

(And yes, if you’d told me in the early 90s that you were going to take a flight in a second hand soviet turboprop I’d say take a parachute because you must have a screw loose. Turns out both were the case.)

Enjoyable article. I love debugging/troubleshooting articles like this (loved the TV series "Air Crash Investigation") and always marvel at how much layers-upon-layers of complexity exists in such systems and yet everything works perfectly well most of the time. It is a testament to the scientific prowess, logical layering, technological realization and overall ingenuity of the people involved in designing and implementing the system.

Putting on my conspiracy tinfoil hat, i don't think it was bad design/error/accidental that the production introduced this single point of grounding failure even though the original designs had explicitly called out for at least two grounding points. Why? Because it is the easiest method to get rid of

An NVIDIA 4070 puts out 836 "AI TOPS" using 200 watts of power. So the 40 TOPS target is about 10 watts of power draw equivalent, assuming it uses a similar silicon logic tech to what NVIDIA used. With a more modern process, this is about 5 watts.

For an ultra-mobile tablet or laptop, this is... reasonable, I suppose.

For a desktop, it's quite a bit behind the current-gen tech, let alone "the future".

Like I was saying, this is aiming for where the puck was, not where the puck will be.

From reports wright was already spending a multiple of what his opponents were spending, the risk of having to pay our legal costs was probably not a major factor in his thinking.

He essentially bragged on his slack that the relative costs didn't matter as his goal was ruining his opponents by causing them costs.

A relevant detail is that even though loser pays in the UK they don't pay 100%, so one can potentially make the residual they do pay ruinous.
Yep, that brings up good memories. I spend some time fixing electrical faults in my first two cars when I was 22 and knew nothing about electrical engineering (I did know math and programming though).

The thing is that’s once you’ve casted most external inputs to lisp data structures, you don’t really need anything else other than utility algorithms (crypto,…). And with metaprogramming, it’s easier to do stuff without special classes and decorator. You can visualize the code as data being transformed, as a chain of transformers, or when you do metaprogramming as data generating code and code generating data. It’s all organic and you can do a lot without external code, because very soon you’re coding with a language adapted to your problem domain.

To GP: Think about how simple the HTTP protocol is (the core), so if you want a web framework, you want something that will map the headers and the body to cl data structures and then you can go to solve smaller problems like routing, auth, response generation,… Then you notice boilerplate and you macro them out. Same for most client libraries. It really easy to add an ad-hoc library that solve your problems. So you do that instead of reaching to others’ code.

Show HN: Rational numbers for Java, why not?
A while back I built a science library supporting both physical and abstract dimensions. Almost immediately I discovered working with floating point numbers suck in that space and BigDecimal isn't much better in terms of managing scale wrt margin of error across calculations, Java doesn't make this easy.

Rationals are in my view much better suited for science/math in that information cannot be unintentionally lost when using them. So I made a Rational for Java, and in the process _forced_ Java to work better with science and math.
I've given this a quick try. One observation is that it is very fast.

The other is that I have much muscle memory about keybindings for emacs that are both from built-ins and code that I have written.

Ask HN: Are you a people manager using hacky tools?
As a people manager, I've found myself using a plethora of "tools" to help me keep notes and track informal progress towards goals for the reports I work with.

My needs evolved to a point where I'm using VSCode for its file structure and ability to quickly find things via global search.

I'm in the process of building something custom for myself and wondering if there are other people managers out there using hacky solutions to solve for use cases outside of more formal tools like Lattice.

Would love to hear any pain points or hacky solves. Also if you're interested in playing around with the solution I'm working on, lmk!
