Nah - sometimes after 5 attempts and Siri misunderstanding me every single time (not native speaker - Google for Siri being discriminatory against non native accents) I just give up and do the thing by hand.

Siri saying “I booked your appointment for 3 am” when I said “5 pm” is also a hallucinatory success response - no LLM needed.
Hey, great work! Definitely will look forward to using.

Can I ask what the tech stack is? Is it open source?
All of the above is to say, western morality is not all good (nor is it all bad), but the same goes for all the rest. To know more about further examples, that is an ignorance you need to work on personally to cure. Travel outside of the West & read more history. When travelling, culture shock is a real thing, it's striking to learn that others in the world actually think fundamentally differently, they have different values, and in some cases it's even a good thing (and sometimes not, but the fact it's different, it helps break the mold of your own experiences).
It's more like they are betting on a horse that's in the race.
I really enjoy reading about what people do in their homelab. It has turned into platforms that encourages actual 'doing' in contrast to just 'thinking about it'. When I am interviewing to hire a DevOps or System Engineering person, I love it when they have an example of how they pushed their knowledge outside of their core job. Just because your company isn't doing something does not need to block you from trying it.

There are some really neat things going on in the micro-homelab space as well - Using very small machines with very lower power footprint that opens up lots of possibilities. The N100 price/powerpoint has opened up more options along side the Raspberry PI and it friends. So cool!

Great article! I am currently working on a team where we help product teams adopt new technologies, and we are currently seriously looking at server components with Next.js. Server components offer a lot of advantages in terms of both composition patterns and performance. Server actions are a great way to encapsulate fetching behavior and offer a better pattern than using custom React hooks. Custom hooks, while useful violate basic software design principles because all consumers must depend on the implementation, not the interface of a hook, meaning you can't pass them in as properties and such.
I would give up and rename my vacuum the first time that happened.
I’ve had several experiences where I ask Siri to play X on Spotify, then it says it’s going to play X on Spotify, and then nothing happens. The music never starts playing.
I know there isn't any. The topic is what innovations are possible. One possible innovation is to create such a protocol.

> If you throw a bunch of unenforceable clauses into an NDA/non-compete/whatever, that increases the likelihood of the whole thing being thrown out

I’m not sure that this is true. Any employment contract will have a partial invalidity/severability clause which will preserve the contract if individual clauses are unenforceable.
Did they have a lead? It seemed like they were behind google assistant from the get go.
Id be happy to see a tax on fat people due to the externalities they place on the healthcare system. Im not happy to see policy that uses peer pressure though. I dont think the government should be shaming people for questionable activities that arent illegal. I really dont think the government should be in the business of shame at all.
Just completely disingenuous that they still pretend to care about customer privacy after rolling this out with silent-opt-in and without adding an easy opt-out option in the Slack admin panel.
The chess community has become the first industry to fully embrace Stockfish, an AI that surpasses even the world champions. Its adoption marks a significant shift in we leverage artificial intelligence. By examining this trend, we can extrapolate its potential impact on other sectors and predict outcomes. Thoughts?

Reading this, I had a little laugh after reading the entire spiel about increasing intuitivness and the first point is renaming issues (universally understood) to "work packages" (what?).

Maybe it's just me :) overall it looks like quite the overhaul from its redmine roots. A lot of what I had to hunt for in paid redmine plug-ins years ago is just a core feature in OpenProject.

In the west it’s becoming frowned upon to observe that someone is fat (obese). Doctors have to tip-toe around the issue lest some patients become offended[1]. Some patients take it as fat (obesity)-shaming rather than what it is advice to seek being healthier. Some see being fat as something to celebrate. I don’t think I would celebrate any medical condition I had, be it fat, skinny, one-eyed, one-legged, etc. We can of course learn to cope and live with the conditions, but celebrate? That’s backwards to me.

Software is a mean to an end. So programming is a mean to a mean to an end. LLMs are also means to an end. Why would we want to use LLMs as a mean to a mean to a mean to an end, when it can be transparently specialized to get users directly to the end? I think end-user programming has to be a fallacy, because I see no one other than programmers wanting it. It’s not to say it’s an invalid idea, it’s more likely misdirected. I understand the feeling that programmers wish more people could yield the generalized control over their computer devices, as programmers have over their own. But do end users actually need that? Should this be a priority, when time is limited and people can spend it doing more fulfilling things than fiddling with machines? Don’t they have numerous other things to optimize for in their actual, physical lives? Why would we wish they carry the burden of such frigid discipline when others can do it for them? As far as I can tell, prompting itself already is end user programming, what’s lacking are the bridges between the models and diverse effectful APIs. As absurd as it sounds, at whatever level, programming is merely data parameterization over a set of interfaces. It’s also what prompting is, except the underlying interface is overly general. So it seems like a viable future should involve standardization efforts so LLMs can invoke APIs on their own, and we provide it with compatible interfaces it can use to service users. In this scenario, the applications behind the endpoints will not merely be stateless request/response interfaces, as they need also to instruct, model and contextualize remote data capture interfaces within the client – generative interfaces. Software can hardly be more malleable than that: contextually generating whatever UI it’s needed to achieve a task that was prompted in natural language. Once there’s enough composable black-box services accessible via LLMs, there is no need for end users to program anything, they will directly demand the effects. Sure, there can be service-generating services, but I fail to see how users could parameterize such calls while lacking domain knowledge, and while there’ll be a direct path to the exact or approximate effect they need in the first place. As for special cases, they will always require special solutions and specialized knowledge, no matter the domain.
You're more concerned about your home Plex server going down than the service you run at work?
A considerable number of people did buy a PS5 for the Remake/Rebirth, myself included. Definitely not what they hoped for though.

I feel strongly enough that I'd argue that it isn't bad. The quality of the game is excellent - the graphics are great (the amount of detail in the environment alone is amazing), the additions and amount of content, gameplay, voice acting, minigames, all around a great game. They did a great translation of the original game to this era of gaming.

When it comes to reviews, they are also overwhelmingly positive.
…a choice that’s carefully hidden deep in the ToS and requires a special person to send a special e-mail instead of just adding an option to the org admin interface.
The article is from a non english speaking country. Siri was (and sometimes still is) really horrendous in some languages, so that might explain the trash talking.

For example I had the following happen till 2 years ago:
"Siri, turn off the lights"
"Do you mean here or in the bed room?"
"Here"
"Sorry, I can't do that"

So you always had to include the room with your command.

The most recent bug is Siri pretends to not know some people when calling, but will happily message them.
Hmm maybe I’m misremembering then

I do recall there was some recantation or otherwise distancing from CEV not long after he posted it, but frankly it was long ago enough that my memories might be getting mixed

What was the other one?
Your analogy inadvertently once again emphasizes the point. Now change it from being a rabbit and a turtle, to an unknown animal and some non-animal thing pretending to be another unknown animal. And you have to guess which is which. It would be effectively impossible to figure anything out, because you have absolutely no basis to work from.

LLMs are trained on nothing except the corpus of human knowledge. It is literally impossible for them to e.g. accidentally say something that it's inconceivable for a human to say, if we have absolutely no way of constraining the identity of said human. And another way these tests are made easier is by generally having all participants manually type out their interactions, instead of having them transcribed. So the dozens of interactions you'd normally have in 5 minutes goes down to ~5. Making all of this that much more true. It's just silly.

And no, always giving bad answers it not a failing strategy. As I mentioned, the scenario I'm describing is not a hypothetical. The Turing Test (or at least yet another abysmal bastardization of it) was passed in 2014, with the chatbot in question impersonating a 13 year old Ukrainian teen who was not good in English, or maintaining a coherent dialogue, or train of thought, or even being coherent for the most part. I'm sure this is exactly what Turing had in mind. [1]

Realistically, if you eat smaller servings and walk more, it's easier to have a healthy weight.

The last time I went to Japan with an American friend, she commented that the portion sizes in Japan were so small. Combined with all the walking from using trains (we'd easily get more than 10k steps per day), we both lost weight during that trip.

Is your Logo interpreter implemented as a functional language?

I was introduced to Logo in 1st grade. (Moving the turtle around to draw stuff...)

- Years later: when learning how to program, my mind was blown when I found out I was actually already programming in 1st grade.

- Years after that: while learning functional programming, my mind was blown again when I discovered Logo is actually a functional language[1].

How is this false? The clients I mentioned cannot talk with each other, and your page is showing exactly that.

You then say UWPX is discontinued as an excuse, which I could accept... if it wasn't because the problem is that it is implementing a _newer_ version of the protocol than most clients in your list! So it's not "incommunicado" because it is too old, it is incommunicado because it is too new! Why would the time since the last release have any effect, then?

Kaidan is actually implement what appears to be the _current_ version of the spec, so if anything the problem is going to even get worse over time, not better.

Is there _any_ client which actually implements multiple versions of the protocol so that it can actually talk with clients from multiple eras at the same time? Otherwise this is literally worse than Matrix, and that's saying.
Consider caching your API results, and eventually upgrading to a paid tier to increase your API limits. Also, I should be able to enter a stock ticker on your website and see the corresponding model without needing to sign up.
Go for it. It sounds like a tangible, workable idea.-

60hz :( There's no going back once you're used to high refresh rates. Especially with a monitor like this which you might want to use in either orientation, 60hz panels are prone to jelly scrolling* when rotated 90 degrees from their native upright position due to the way that LCDs scan the image out line-by-line.

Where are you getting energy and land from for these AI's to consume and turn into goods?

Moreso, by making such a magical powerful AI as you've listed, the number one thing some rich controlling asshole with more AI than you, would be to create an army and take what they want because AI does nothing to solve human greed.
It's interesting to look at the shelf-life of actual, logistical national security issues and compare that to the "peeling an onion" rhetoric around information release. The useful time span seems to be weeks to a handful of years.
We used to do something similar here in Vienna at Türkenschanzpark, one of the biggest (and my favorite) parks in Vienna at night with 20-40 people. It was always so intense, especially not easily knowing who was on your team.
They’re going to be cloud models. Also Google’s Gemma:2b could totally run on an iPhone.

But Apple has their LLM research, and MSFT and others built good local models. Apple will offer local LLM APIs, which Siri and Apple-provided products will rely on a cloud service, as it had.
Isn't that a fully-general argument? I say that flywheels will cause a revolution in military affairs. You reply with, "Why haven't we seen flywheels used in war?" I reply that flywheels are such a potent weapon that armies are afraid to deploy them out of fear that their enemy will response by using flywheels against them, which would be just too terrible and might cause a global ecological catastrophe or a general breakdown of society.
> Eastern societies have different ways of dealing with things than Western, and that’s ok.

This is basically my point. A lot of the policies the writer points to arent transferrable to the west imo because they rely on eastern values that wouldnt fly here. In some ways the estern values are better, in some ways the western ones are, nothing wrong with that.

In EU all of these are mostly illegal and void, or strictly limited. You have to pay a good salary for the whole duration (up to two years), and let the employer know months before them leave. Almost right after they are fired.

Sound like a better solution?
I think it's by definition that the unique elements of a set is a subset. Nonetheless, the clarification is a good point.

To take a stab at a yet more correct statement, maybe something like the follows captures it: In the algorithm noted, we are extrapolating the size of the unique elements by looking at additional subsets, which themselves are an equivalence class.
It's not dead. I just launched an app this year with it. Users love it.
I think the ego and cult-like atmosphere will lead to more growth (maybe not in the "right" direction but in the technical prowess direction) which offsets all criticism.

And then the lines will cross over the break even point and be absorbed into Microsoft who proceeds to enjoy the lunch for the foreseeable future.

It is not like Microsoft’s CEO was behaving very admirably or free of ego.
Bear in mind that an average person who doesn’t frequent sites like HN might see this differently.

Altman seems to be very aware of that, dropping short sound bites/bits like implying that he has no financial interest in OpenAI (congress hearings IIRC) or comparing GPT4-o to Her.

It sounds like complete nonsense (if you know anything about tech) or cringe at best (Her), but what matters is quotability/catchiness because that what gets pumped by the media.
But that's better than taking them all down. Fact of the matter is most of us hate using VORs anyway, and left to our own devices probably wouldn't care one bit if they were removed.

It is a good thing that someone is second-guessing that. Degrading to MON wouldn't be great, but it would be much preferrable to hoping poor ATC can figure out how to vector everyone all the sudden.

I think more industries could apply the idea of a Minimum Operational whatever
How would they know? We don't have general AI but it's written as if they already know what it will be, how safe it will be, etc.

I think it's an important topic to discuss and consider, but this seems to be speaking with more knowledge and authority than seems reasonable to me.
Any one noticed how Sam sometimes intentionally tries to attack his own work? For example, he has said GPT-2 was very bad, GPT-3 was bad, and GPT-4 is okay. He also fed the AI doomers by talking about AGI dangers and how the world needs to watch out for a future AI catastrophe. He just gives off the vibe of someone trying to act humble but I don't know how much of it is just an act and how much is real.

I've never seen any CEO just straight out diss their own products.
> this is turning into huge power/money grab

The power grab happened a while ago (the shenanigans concerning the board) and is now complete. Care for humanity was just marketing or a cute thought at best.

Maybe humanity will survive life long enough that a company "caring about humanity" becomes possible, I'm not saying it's not worth trying or aspiring to such ideals, but everyone should be extremely surprised if any organization managed to resist such amounts of money to maintain any goal or ideal whatever...
I find Siri to be rather useful - I don't use it for complicated tasks, but I use it daily. That's about all I want. If Apple can keep process all that on the device, then great. If they have to ship it off somewhere else to analyze it and quantify it for marketing purposes, then not only no, but Hell No.
Are you referring to the Metabo law section? I'm not sure if I overlooked something but I don't see anything about co-workers paying a tax. Are you referring to the potential fine the company pays?

For what it's worth. I've worked at a Japanese company since the program was introduced in 2008 and don't recall that happening. I'll have to ask some of my former co-workers about it next time I see them.

upon further investigation I might not have experienced it because I was under the ago of 40 when I worked in Japan

Reddit post from Project Manager is pretty pointless. If Google decides to get rid of Flutter, they are not going to tell Kevin before hand, they are likely not even going to tell Kevin boss before hand. Stadia employees were swearing up and down that Stadia was full steam ahead despite layoffs until it wasn't. When it happened, it was clear from all Twitter posting that no one except really high up Google Executives knew Stadia shutdown was coming and they didn't tell anyone.

What cult-like vibes? The OpenAI employees wanted Sam back because of financial reasons and peer pressure. Sam has learnt how to keep employees on leash via money.

I'd argue the way American culture is constructed (drive everywhere, less opportunities to walk, folks are socially isolated) in a way that actually puts people in a situation where they are much more likely to be overweight.

So the costs are ones we as a society are putting on individuals are coming back to bite everyone in the ass.
"AI" has unfortunately become synonymous with "LLM," even though LLM's are only a subset of AI.

"Autocomplete" seems to be the simplest way of explaining it is just fancy pattern recognition.

Slightly longer:

> Traditionally programming meant explicitly telling computers how to do something. 'AI' just gets the inputs and outputs, and figures out the 'how' own its own.
