They've got a multiple PRC commercial companies with successfuly reusable tests. We'll know more in next few years. TLDR is state level "direction" to pursue reusable lauch + mega constellations only started last few years (probably saw value in UKR war). I think SpaceX tech is probably easier to copy vs military, once idea proven to work as you said, PRC pretty good at iterating and replicating, and scaling, provided there's reason for it, i.e. no idea how much payload demand outside of megaconstellations. US uniquely advantaged because they work with a lot of developed countries with their own launch needs that US provides. Some initial estimates for PRC mega constellation(s) is IIRC putting up 1500 before 2030, and 13000-26000 by 2035 to show the projected launch curve. Which TBF is like 30-40 rocket tier of demand. Question is if they find something to justify spamming magnitude more launch capabilities, and pertinent to this article, if they did, it's probably going to be weaponinizing space.
It would take your absolute top of the line CPU doing nothing but incrementing the counter for more than 12 years to worry about overflowing a 61 bit number. And what this is counting is much more expensive than incrementing a counter so you can’t run this at 6Ghz. Maybe ~500mhz which gets you to > 100 years if that’s all you’re doing but this counter is a side operation that won’t see much traffic even at scale so you’re talking about millennia in practice I suspect.

So it’s just not a practical concern - I just panic if it hits the limit. I think you may be failing to comprehend just how large numbers like this get and how long it takes to count because it’s such a very real concern with 32 bit counters. Addition of course can always overflow but this is a straight up strictly monotonic counter that counts from 0 to 2^61.

A voice isn't owned. It exists as a transient event of sound waves moving through space, shaped and modulated by the atmosphere, surfaces, and distances. Without a medium and the presence of listeners, these vibrations are meaningless. Thus, a voice exists only as a form of interaction with its physical environment. It's a communal event that doesn't belong to anyone.

This thread is fascinating for highlighting that what seems normal to one person seems rare to another.

I'm not sure I know a single "daily drinker". Even the people who had reputations as being heavy drinkers I don't think drank every day. Drinking daily sounds like something someone in recovery would talk about as the final stage of their spiral towards rock bottom before they went to rehab, not something I'd expect 1 in 20 people to be doing.

But maybe I'm underestimating how many people have one glass of wine with dinner or one beer after work.
Yes, the 30% is too much; they should take less, especially for indie developers and small studios.

Nonetheless, are Valve, Steam and SteamDeck the only reasons I spend money on games. Where other publishers just provide a storefront for their own games, Steam builds a customer-pleasing platform where, unlike Apple, you have the choice to go to another store. Additionally, their recommendation systems encourage people to buy niche/indie games and not only the most expensive AAA titles.
Making a game is not big problem. Making it FUN is. Theres no formula for this. Lets say AI can make a game from prompt just like that - I dont know if its going to be fun to play.
Those tweets were made on May 13th and 14th, so they’re pretty clearly in reference to 4o, and the effort to make the chat seem more lifelike (similar to the AI in the movie “Her”). The Sky voice came out last year, and it doesn’t seem like anyone at the company referenced “Her” when it did (from what I can find).

The voice chat didn’t seem to be particularly well publicized. People mention how after the 4o announcement, many people started voice chatting for the first time (and mistaking it for 4o voice chat) because they hadn’t realized the voice chat was there before.
Side question, are Samsung Electronics and Samsung Appliances really like 2 different companies under a Samsung umbrella in SK or are they actually the same company with employees being able to be assigned / move from group to group? Same question for LG I suppose.
There is a procedure at the link below for doing just that. You disconnect leads for the cellular main, cellular sub, and GPS antennas from the DCM, and replace them with 50 ohm terminators. This avoids error codes and check engine light, and instead leaves the transponder in a perpetual "out of range" state.

It's still an opt-in feature. The bug would have to be so bad that it calls that API even with the feature off.
I think the whole thing was scripted beforehand and approved by Sam Altman, of course.

Show HN: Wikipedia and Llama 3 70B
Hey everyone!

I built a little app for exploring Wikipedia.

https://atlaslib.com/wikipedia

You can tap on a suggestion or ask anything.

Why?

Wikipedia is awesome but search on Wikipedia unfortunately is not. I often use Google to search Wikipedia but I wondered if there is a more direct way.

Some of the huge Wikipedia articles (e.g. animals, biology, history, health, science) are thorough but a bit dry.

A language model like llama 3 70b helps with both: discovery and with making a dry topic more approachable.

behind the scenes:

- client: 150 lines vanilla javascript, tailwind for ui
- server: flask on fly.io (shared-1x-cpu@256MB)
- inference: llama 3 70b at 300+ tokens/s via groq

I've set it as my new default page to load when I open a new browser tab.

video (in real-time): https://x.com/__tosh/status/1793699299756228976

I also applied with it for the upcoming YC batch but it is a bit of a last minute pivot from an earlier idea.

Curious what you think and how I could make it better!
Being unable to see the technical and organizational problems with a baked-in API driven feature that many people don't want is its own form of incompetence.
Quant or Qwant?
Qwant does not rely on the Bing api but has its own index.
It's always "not enforced" or "just a template" right up until they decide they need to pressure you into something and then they will have no problem referencing those items.

Do not sign a contract unless you are willing to entirely submit to everything in it that is legally binding.

Also be careful with extremely vague contracts. My employment contract was basically "You will do whatever we need you to do" and surprise surprise, unpaid overtime is expected.
AI is acting as a catalyst here to get people into flame war mode.

The issue here is the existence of a terminal feature that can send your commands to a 3rd party server.

It could have no AI whatsoever; it is reasonable to not want this in an app that you might paste secret keys into.

Do the people who don’t like this feature have the same standards for ever app they use? Probably not, they’re probably being a little hyperbolic, but it sounds like a reasonable request.
This is an unfortunate failure of community engagement. Apparently the feature was in beta for months, but given that most people don't use the beta or follow the development of their terminal emulator, it shouldn't be a surprise that there was pushback after release. Usually when introducing a controversial change, you want to do additional community outreach.

It's also a minor UX failure. The onboarding screens weren't loud enough about the need to provide an API key.

I really feel for the maintainers here. They added a cool thing to their popular-for-a-reason terminal emulator, and (from their perspective) people lost their minds over a misunderstanding or (again, from their perspective) unreasonable expectations.
Agreed. It's understandable that people were fed up with the rampant misinformation around the dangers of weed, but I fear we may be overcorrecting in the other direction now. Some people like to pretend that it's completely harmless even as they struggle with dependency issues.

We need some actual fact-based education around weed.
Entirely optional features that have a history of not becoming optional anymore in many other applications and quite evidently can easily be installed as a plugin instead.

Further, why in the world would you include a completely optional feature that runs afoul of many companies' software policies? And will be blocked by many companies even if it doesn't run afoul of their policies because nearly every competently run company will inspect software that claims to have AI features to understand the extent of the AI integration, but a significant portion of them will choose not to do that analysis for what's a fairly niche software that not only has many alternatives but is an alternative to an OSX built in feature and would block many of your users from using the application.

Even if you disagree with the ideological dissensions, and even if you disagree with the slippery slope argument, why would you grumble about the practical scenario which would block your users from using the application. Especially when you have a fairly easy alternative of packaging it in a plugin.

This isn't true at all. It can seem true for a surprisingly long time, but sometimes bad press is bad press.

Tesla's no press is bad press "strategy" recently came home to roost. No matter how you slice it, alienating your core constituency of customers is bad business.

This "bad" press certainly might not actually be bad. But it just isn't true that all press is good.

It's a nice quip, but in practice, the actual details matter.

And so OpenAI can't legally... use any adult white female's voice in their product?

I'm not a lawyer, but doesn't there have to actually be a reasonable voice resemblance to conclude that there's impersonation? In a side-by-side "taste test" I don't think these two voices are very similar.

Yes data migration is definitely the most gnarly part.

> I have two goals in this change:

> To allow developers in restrictive but technically incompetent organizations to continue to use iTerm2. That is, they disallow anything that could potentially exfiltrate data, but don't have their act together enough to implement MDM.

That sums this entire drama up pretty well.
Midler is actually the foundation for Waits. The appeal hinged in part on whether Midler was still valid precedent (the court ruled it was):

> How does this compare to ehealthexchange

Good question! eHealth Exchange (eHEX) is one of 3 national HIEs that we connect to (currently through Carequality). eHEX is mainly focused on connecting to state-level regional HIEs, which cover a different portion of providers than CommonWell, or Carequality do.

For example, Cerner is a major EHR vendor (used by the VA and others) whose data can only be accessed through CommonWell, since they don't participate in other HIEs.

> that have many years of experience

Relatively speaking, modern HIEs are a relatively new concept (Carequality was founded in 2014) - so extra years of experience doesn't necessarily add any value, and usually just results in more legacy tech to deal with!

> charge lower costs?

This isn't necessarily true - since you brought up eHEX, see their pricing page: https://ehealthexchange.org/pricing-payers-vendors-and-for-p...

TL;DR just to get started it's going to cost you $20k + some months to integrate, $12.5k/yr as the base membership fee (up to $400k if you make a lot of money!), and they charge a per-query price.

The caveat here is per-query in eHEX, isn't what a query is in Metriport. They literally mean every single query (remember the HTTP requests to thousands of endpoints to find patient records, each one of those would be a query). So, if you want to integrate with eHEX only to get limited, messy C-CDA data, then you're looking at paying ~$0.80 per full record retrieval for a patient with 2k documents.
Off topic, but I cannot resist to comment on that line under the headline:

> By Chris Welch, a reviewer specializing in personal audio and home theater. Since 2011, he has published nearly 6,000 articles, from breaking news and reviews to useful how-tos

So 13 years, that’s around 460 publications per year. That sounds pretty high, you would have to be writing non stop for more than a decade. I know nothing about the tech new industry but is that realistic or just a fantasy?
I live in UK where it’s still illegal. It used to be like once a month that I’d smell it in public, and now it’s a few times a day. I think it changed during the Pandemic? Doesn’t bother me personally but the sharp change is interesting.

I dunno if alcohol is so much worse than weed in the grand scheme of things. A lot of Europeans, especially up north, are downright alcoholics by US standards, and yet their societies seem to be doing just fine, quite flourishing really.

For example Ireland has the highest GDP/Capita in EU and Finland has the best educated school students in the EU.

Not promoting alcohol consumption, but from my POV here in Europe, traditional alcoholic societies seem to have developed further than traditional stoner societies.

Just a shower though.
I felt sad for her father's death but then didn't make it through the great length with which she talked about a cat that you knew was going to be dead anyways.
> OpenAI would have to be explicit in copying the likeness.

Unless you are privy to the last 10 months of OpenAI's closed-door meeting notes, I don't think you have the authority to explicitly deny this. Time will tell what comes of it, but the obsession with namedropping Her among OpenAI employees feels like the final nail in the coffin. If OpenAI fully complies with the discovery process I don't have faith that Sam Altman was as sneaky as he's made-out to be.
Using fast math in one particular expression is way different and less risky than doing it globally.
I actually worked with George and he is about the nicest person there is. This is not sarcasm or double speak. He really was a great guy to work with.

Now he's spending his free time working almost daily on free, open source gift that is iTerm.

The issue here really is the hysteria of people who complain about it.

It's something you had to configure by entering an API key and it wouldn't do anything if you didn't.

Didn't stop people being wrong about what happens and refusing to accept they were wrong even when it was explained to them they were wrong.

You try to spend your free time providing great software to people, add a useful people and have a stream of ignorant complains and hate rain down on you.

I'm sure you would be all sainty about.
AI #65: I Spy With My AI
What does this look like?

There are lots of factors in life that can cause psychosis, reading philosophy can do it via triggering an existential crisis? Right? Obviously other traumatic events cause psychosis.

I wonder if these require multiple things to happen, a life event + regular usage.

Or if it really is a deterioration is inevitable.
Ehhh...I can see how people interpreted it this way based on the way the onboarding screens looked. It was very jarring to open up my terminal one day and be greeted by yEt AnOtHeR gReAt Ai FeAtUrE. I imagine that emotional reaction is fueling the discourse quite a bit.
Here's a search for you with about a zillion results. [1] It's definitely way above 20:1. Your link references that number only for games with less than 1000 sales, and provides the data - which is super biased towards games with very near 0 sales, but tons of reviews. It could just be the games were terrible, but another potential issue is shilling. Many developers buy fake positive reviews. To my knowledge nobody has ever been banned for this (though devs have been banned for naively writing fake reviews themselves), but I expect these games end up getting some sort of a deranking or soft shadow ban, because it'd be absurdly easy to detect on Steam's side, and the games that do it seem to often end up buried after what's presumably an extremely low sales:review ratio. Here's an article that also includes some of the games that are hiring shills. [2]

How is RPM calculated?
Honestly the issue here isn't that they let the zone get stale. The root zone doesn't change that much. So a couple of TLDs had to hold off on making changes, who cares.

The issue here is that they didn't notice until someone with a direct contact at Cogent emailed them to tell them.

A corollary to that issue is the fact that the last news item is the same thing: they failed to get updates and their monitoring failed to tell them. Supposedly their monitoring was fixed then, in 2019. Why should we believe it's any more fixed now?
Rick Astley v. Hauri is a recent case in the same vein: https://unicourt.com/case/ca-la23-richard-rick-paul-astley-v...

This one is unique because Hauri (aka "Yung Gravy") is another music artist. The Midler case is actually mentioned in the court filings, too.

It's interesting to think about the blurry line between art and commercial products.
How can such an expensive thing be deprecrated in two years? It seems malicious. IoT devices need to come with some sort of "works until" or something.
How do they control them? Is it using Internet/4G? Isn't easy to jam those signals?
Makes sense. I still think it would be cheaper to just reload it from S3 (straight into memory, not using EBS at all) on every boot. The entire OS shouldn't be more than a gigabyte which is quite fast to download as a bulk transfer straight into RAM.
Why does a developer for an OSS project add any feature? They felt like it.
> why did the developer decide to add the feature in the first place? Was it community feedback or some other mechanism that inspired this choice?

You're moving the goalposts and again putting the developer in a position where they have to justify themselves. Which they don't. As GP puts it: "But iTerm is a free (both as in gratis and as in libre) open source project. The developer released a feature that they were probably happy and excited about."
Greaseweazle. Back in the day, there was Central Point's Copy II PC Deluxe Option Board, or the rarer Central Point's Copy II PC Enhanced Option Board able to copy physically-damaged-for-copy-protection media.

For copy protection, NevrLock and CrackAid. I still encounter DOS malware and a lack of proper cracking in some poor quality releases on the interwebs. For archival purposes, it's generally better to buy several physical copies of a game and Greaseweazle it and end up with at least 1 complete and unspoiled version.
This whole ordeal was absolutely absurd and anyone who commented on that Gitlab thread, here on HN, or on other social media are the biggest bunch of entitled crybabies I've ever seen.

I've said my piece on this many times over the last few days here on HN so I won't repeat myself but if you were one of the people complaining then I want you to know in no uncertain terms that you are what's wrong with open source and you are why people don't want to maintain open source projects, you should really be ashamed of yourselves.
I wonder if a lot of the heated discussion is purely an emotional reaction to be hit with "AI feature onboarding" immediately after a normally-drama-free terminal emulator software update. If they had gone with a much more low-key way of notifying users of the feature, maybe folks would be more reasonable.

Not that I blame the maintainers for using the approach they did, though! Usually you do want to be super obvious about new things.
Paying Respects to Press F
The wave/particle duality has long-since been accepted, as have other dualities (e.g. the event horizon of a black hole is both a completely normal portion of spacetime, and a boundary region that emits Hawking radiation, depending on your trajectory), where it is impossible to make an experiment that could see both at the same time.

But QM can't be reconciled with GR in the same way. One day we'll have precise enough instruments to measure the gravitational interactions of large particles. One day we'll have large enough particle accelerators to be able to measure quantum properties of huge molecules whose gravitational properties we already know. When those days come, we'll need a unified theory of how quantum fields cause gravitational effects.

And even if it turns out there is some fundamental limit of some type of measurement that does cause a QM/GR duality to exist, a theory that includes that specific limit would itself be a new, unified theory, that supersedes both QM/QFT and GR.
> that will probably be around as long as humans exist.

My goodness, that's a strong claim to make, about a glue layer in a computing technology that's been around for just 50 years. I mean, arguably the internet as we knew it is already dying. The original design of DNS was flawed (no security), and the patches to fix those flaws are far from perfect.
