The ability to do censorship would be a freedom for the government, yes. It's also a restriction on you.

I don't like HOAs, but the ability to form or join a HOA is definitely a part of individual freedom.

I'm going against the grain here probably, but I love those customer chat tools where the customer service is not a half-baked "AI" bot, but a direct line to someone knowledgeable. Or a Whatsapp/Telegram link.

E.g. over the years, Raidboxes.io has frequently answered to my questions on a Sunday, in the am, in less than 15 minutes. That's an outlier, but it has anchored my expectations for the future.

At the last startup I worked at we have tried to implement a similar responsiveness by utilizing a distributed team across the globe.

If you funnel your customer comms into one more or less decent system (most are different shades of crappy), it can work pretty well for both customers & team.
And so should we be able to have “é.txt” and “é.txt” in the same directory (with a different UTF-8 normalization?)
What encoding should we use BTW?

I’m not advocating for case-insensitive fs (literally the first thing I do when I get a Mac is reformat it to be on a case-sensitive fs), but things are not that simple either.
It doesn’t do a great job, though. A good simulator will have random drops, jitter, bursts, etc.

I really like Kdenlive and use it both in Windows and Linux: it reminds me of Sony Vegas, isn't much more complex than Windows Movie Maker used to be.

It gives me a look at how the video will be rendered and lets me mess around with the quality/bitrate settings to a nice degree, as well as the amount of threads I want (unlike something like DaVinci Resolve). Splicing videos and adding various effects is pretty simple and while I don't see it competing with something like After Effects, for basic editing it's wonderful, runs well and the download isn't super big either.

That said, unfortunately it doesn't have Intel QuickSync (I have an Intel Arc GPU that would be nice to use) support and the only hardware accelerated encoding seems to be Nvidia's variety, which understandably gives me the following:

Rendering of test.mp4 crashed

They can say whatever they want on that site. To me Firefox feels much slower and it's not just placebo. I suspect it has to do with poor multithreading. I still get hangs or slow responsiveness of the entire Firefox chrome because of a single misbehaving tab. I can also see that some media sites (e.g. di.fm or SoundCloud) use more CPU when playing media.

> but Google seems to be pretty honest here.

They're not.

Take "This means that AI Overviews generally don't “hallucinate” or make things up in the ways that other LLM products might."

This is just a lie, in two ways:

1. It's still an LLM, feeding search results into the prompts and asking for a summary reduces the probability of hallucination compared to directly asking the question in the prompt, it's still a probability non-negligibly above zero. This kind of pretending you can "fix" the hallucination problem by feeding data into the prompt is extremely wrong and dangerous.

2. It's missing the entire point.
"Um akshually the LLM didn't hallucinate, we simply gave it Reddit user Fucksmith's post which it confidently restated as truth" (or indeed, the much funnier, "we gave it The Onion, which it confidently restated as truth") is functionally the same as a hallucination to the end user. The mechanism here does not matter.

These are both fundamental critical issues to AI overviews. "Rare" hallucinations are unacceptable on a tool used billions of times a day. And the LLM paraphrasing lies/satire/ignorance/etc into truth is a fundamental flaw of using LLMs to paraphrase like this.

You can't just patch this issue, the entire thing is fundamentally flawed.
Ask HN: Anyone attending EMF camp this year?
Is anyone here at the Electromagnetic Field (EMF) hacker camp in the UK? For those who might not know, EMF Camp is a biennial festival for hackers, artists, geeks, and engineers, set in a field in the British countryside. It’s a temporary village of enthusiasts and creators from around the world, coming together to share knowledge, discuss new ideas, and show off their latest projects.

This gathering includes a mix of talks, workshops, and installations, with a strong emphasis on the DIY and spontaneous. Whether you're here to hack on projects, explore the fusion of technology and art, or engage in discussions with like-minded individuals, EMF Camp offers a unique space to collaborate and innovate.

If you're currently at EMF, what’s the most interesting project you've seen so far? And if you’ve been before, how does this year compare?
Well this is incredible. Love the interface and the speed. My only wish is that it gave more links, right now it only seems to generate a few of them for each response.

Also it seems to be way faster than ChatGPT, yet just as intelligent, how is that possible? Can you elaborate a little bit on the architecture you're using and how it all works? What model are you using? Is it just a straight up API to ChatGPT, or are you also using additional embeddings and fine-tuning?

That’s not the point of the post. The closed question is but an anecdote serving as introduction. It could be completely removed and it would change nothing about the argument.
That's the point.

The dirty secret of a lot of AI is that they rush out a hotfix for any such issues that pop up, and then just insist the issue was fake. "You can't replicate the issue, our AI is flawless, DO NOT LOOK AT THE PATCH ROLLOUT BEHIND THE CURTAIN".
Another part of this is that companies are in competition with each other. If company A reduces their workweek/hours but their competitor does not, then that might lead to them falling behind. It could be the difference between company A getting their new product out before company B which could theoretically mean the difference between launching a successful product and the company failing.

Whether this is how things actually work out...I'm not sure. It probably does in our short-term move fast economy over an economy that values long term investment, stability,\ and quality over quantity. To be able to switch to shorter work weeks, we also have to switch the economy to be more long-term oriented...which seems impossible after a decade of fake economy with free money getting everyone addicted to short-term games via gambling on startups and stock market.
I'm getting almost 2MB (5MB uncompressed) just for a google search.
Regarding SEO stuff, I cynically think Google knows about it, but doesn’t do anything because it would reduce revenue.

A friend told me that google estimates about 30% of its clicks are fraud, accident, waste, etc. But they have no incentive to fix because they make money off every wrong ad shown and every accidental or fraudulent click.

So SEO-farming sites make Google money. If I have to click on different ads and multiple garbage sites, that’s more lucrative than just seeing a good result and skipping all the ads and blargh. Remember when “I feel lucky” was helpful?

I can’t wait for some lawsuit discovery to produce the emails where google sees red team results for bad ads and decides to keep them because of revenue.

This stuff doesn’t make google money, so they’re happy to cut it.

This is the law in question. It's likely because it's considered unsightly.

> and having spent some time seeing their perspective they felt that transition would better resolve some internal tension

Thing is though, that during puberty there is a huge amount of internal tension as one's body goes through significant developmental changes. Especially for girls as they start to be sexualised by men. The idea that transition can be used to escape this makes for a tempting second option, and if there are peers who also think that way, it can be very encouraging.

We know that the number of detransitioners is on the rise, and their stories are very often along those lines. They became obsessively drawn to the idea of transitioning, often through social media and peers, and later, when they had the insights of adulthood and the obsession had faded, regretted what they'd done.

The problem is that transition isn't actually a change to the opposite sex, it just creates a poor facsimile at best, and the medical pathway of blocking puberty and taking cross-sex hormones causes irreversible harms to one's body. Loss of sexual function is a big problem. And of course, teenage girls who undergo mastectomy to affirm their idea that they should be boys, can't get those body parts back.
I'm not sure I agree, I run Brave with the standard ad blocking (agressive on Youtube though) and it has been smooth sailing, no ads. What's wrong with Brave's ad blocker according to you?

> "Data" isn't an inexhaustible resource

Synthetic data are the answers. For example see Tiny Stories dataset (https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.07759).

> Now ask the best LLM trained on "all the data" to translate some fragment of some isolate language not in its training set and not very related to existing languages.

If you give them the dictionary and grammar book as in-context instructions, it can do pretty well.

“Gemini v1.5 learns to translate from English to Kalamang purely in context, following a full linguistic manual at inference time. Kalamang is a language spoken by fewer than 200 speakers in western New Guinea. Gemini has never seen this language during training and is only provided with 500 pages of linguistic documentation, a dictionary, and ~400 parallel sentences in context. It basically acquires a sophisticated new skill in the neural activations, instead of gradient finetuning.”
They seem to have proper shadow information. I live in a semi-rural village and shadows from trees along our street are quite accurate ( and seem to be based on one section before it was cleared a year ago or so)
But also is it a failure or is it an expected part of the process? Do we have to bring out the Thomas Edison quote here?
Tensor network notation is really useful for differentiating with respect to tensors. For example, where F is a real function of a matrix variable, think of how you'd differentiate F(A X) with respect to X. Conceptually this is easy, but I used to have to slow down to write it in Einstein notation. Thinking in terms of tensor diagrams, I just see F', X and A strung together in a triangle. Differentiating with respect to X means removing it from the triangle. The dangling edges are the indices of the derivative, and what's left is a matrix product of A and F' along the index that doesn't involve X.

This blog post made me realize that tensor diagrams are the same as the factor graphs we talk about in random field theory. Indices of a tensor network become variables of a factor graph and tensors become factors. The contraction of a tensor network with positive tensors is the partition function of a corresponding field and so on.
Funny I lived on 11 acres carved from a 180 acre plot. The 90 year old owner of the surrounding plot died and his children had it logged. For three years loggers were running chainsaws near daily and 18 wheelers were tearing up my small road as they built new ones to feed it. The road was shared from my house to his through my property. Then his teenaged grandkids started running motorcycles through the clear cut and shooting guns. Sitting on my porch used to be pleasant but now it was constant noise. Since the land was unmaintained and unincorporated I had no recourse. I moved before they finished. I check google maps every few years and they are STILL logging.

I forgot to mention that the lack of forest now means I can see floodlights from the local high school sports fields 20 miles away and can hear the freeway traffic that passes through the nearby town, also 20+ miles away. It’s not deafening just annoying and persistent instead of wind blowing through thick forest.
> you have to sign a contract

You have the right idea, but there isn’t a contract that a buyer has to sign.

A restrictive covenant is attached to a property when a developer (e.g., of a condo complex or subdivision) deeds a subject property to an initial buyer. The restrictions “run with the land” and are enforceable against any subsequent buyer. (The restrictions are a public record kept with the county recorder, so any buyer is on “record notice” whether they actually knew about them or not.)

Also, the way most HOAs work, there is no joining just as there is no opting out. You are a member if you own a subject property. That’s it.

I mainly know about California, but it should be similar in other states.
One problem stems from connecting full/half-assing with outcomes. If the person doing the assing is not feeling the fallout (if there is any, and often times, I agree, there is not) the evaluation of the assing will be off.

Some of us probably still over-correct for it, but having this as part of your calculus is a more important part of being a decent human being than it might appear at first glance.
Also wonder how many savings are still possible with a more efficient HTML/CSS/JS binary representation. Text is low tech and all but it still hurts to waste so many octets for such a relatively low amount of possible symbols.

Applies to all formal languages actually. 2^(8x20x10^6) ~= 2x10^48164799 is such a ridiculously large space...
What is an FBL (Feedback Loop) email?
Timely - Amazon Prime rolled out its "forever" free GrubHub delivery service yesterday.
It was never so black and white. If we define control as the ability to configure the browser as one wants and its extensibility then I'd agree that Firefox did have far more control until the Quantum update where it was gutted, while some Chromium based browsers like Vivaldi are feature rich and have features Firefox doesn't (only now approaching a quasi-equivalence with the pre-Chromium Opera before it too was gutted).

I still no longer use Firefox as a main desktop browser due to the features I loved no longer being possible and never getting equivalents, despite using Firefox as a mobile browser and every other day on desktop for other purposes.

However due to the Manifest v2 phase out some of the more useful extensibility on the Chromium side is being removed (outside of say backporting like Brave but we'll see how long that will last), so one may have to consider alternatives if need be.
Seems like that or some variant because it is quoting, verbatim, answers (read: comments) from reddit.
This is frightening.
I have a fear that even if this was done in jest it could actually make it more popular among normal people...
Why? Their goal is not to somehow get away with making the envirinment more ugly and consume a part of the street or driveway permanently.

I think this might be on the right track. Imagine using this to build programs as well, drag around generated functions and connect things visually. Each function can be its own node, and you can adjust the inputs and outputs by drag-dropping stuff and have the AI magically figure out the requirements.

how does this compare to differentiable search index (DSI) and it's updated version (DSI++)?
You look from technical perspective. From average person perspective, even files are too much technicality to deal with.

As a user I want my work to be preserved, I want to view my photos and I want system to know where is my funny foto of my dog I did last Christmas.

As a developer I need an identifier for a resource and I am not going to let user decide on the Id of the resource, I put files in system as GUID and keep whatever user feels as metadata.

Exposing average people to the filesystem is wrong level of abstraction. That is why iOS and Android apps are going that way - but as I myself am used to dealing with files it annoys me that I cannot have that level of control, but I accept that I am quite technical.
