I think (hope?) many of the movie watchers are caught up on the tropes and the “always makes money” formulas that Hollywood has been riding for years. If they pay attention maybe they’ll greenlight genuinely new IP and try things and let creatives explore again. You can make a lot of “failures” for $160M and if two are hits you’ve made enough to pay for all the rest.
Yeah… not good. Particularly for a political organisation set up to counter and repair the damage caused by fascism. On both sides of the political spectrum, politicians act as if society simply doesn’t exist. Plus even if it’s not far right, it’s moving rightward as a response to the overarching and opaque system of governance that has been put in place that common people cannot do anything about. It’s one of the primary reasons for Brexit, and in that case the EU chose to see it as simply “a British problem” rather than taking pause to think whether there are serious systemic flaws in the EU that contributed to it happening. So now, as usual, Britain is doing the exact opposite to the rest of Europe and about to turn left wing and socialist for at least a decade, and staying out of the fight that will eventually erupt inside the EU, in order to be the ultimate peace keeper who’s job it is to resolve it.
I’ve found writing my own software a wonderful experience over a number of years; seeing how my skills have improved, seeing the evolution of the site, seeing what fads came and went. Obviously if you’re focused primarily on the message rather than the medium then using pre existing software—providing its not a trick to wall garden your now tracking-laden content—is a good idea.
You gotta hand it to him, most big tech bigwigs do a good job pretending to be soft-spoken thought leaders. It takes a special kind of narcissist to insist on destroying their own image early.
It's goofy to see people talking numbers and completely disregarding the mess that is Google's culture right now from the mass layoffs.

Everything has non-monetary costs associated with it. Chasing L7 means more politicking and less actually making things if I understand it correctly. Maybe that's invigorating to some people (am convinced people get off on fighting over artificially scarce resources), but I don't understand them one bit.
Ask HN: Are there any movements to create the equivalent of a sitemap for LLM's?
I've been working on an indigenous language project for a while now -> https://github.com/australia/mobtranslate-server/blob/master/dictionaries/kuku_yalanji/dictionary.yaml

It currently fits inside the token limit of gpt-4o (120k tokens), so I am able to prompt inject it and make a translator-like bot that has amazing results -> https://i.imgur.com/UuEQPUA.png (this is above and beyond good enough for the project goals)

The problem being that per translation I am paying for 100k+ tokens.

Other than the Github YAML version of the dict, I have a publicly indexed (Google) html version of it -> https://mobtranslate.com/dictionaries/kuku_yalanji

But obviously if the model's had trained on this data, it would already have an intrinsic knowledge of it and I would have to prompt inject a lot less.

I know that models have their training cut offs every iteration, but is there a way to ensure that you are crawled during the next. (I'm talking in the context of OpenAI but curious to other answers for any other models)

Essentially are there an equivalents of Google Webmaster Tools where I can submit a sitemap, check the progress of crawls or submit individual pages?

If there isn't, are there any movements to create such a resource?
A good xkcd question!

My guess would be so much that the actual criticality event would be caused by the gram of plutonium smashing into the surface of the resulting TNT neutron star at some high fraction of c.

Edit: found this nice write up on Wikipedia [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamper_(nuclear_weapon)#CITE...] which refers to some papers/books which appear to show that theoretically, with the right reflector/tamper, up to an 8 fold reduction in critical mass is possible. Which would, I guess, make Plutonium’s critical mass (uncompressed) go from 11kg to 1.375 kg.

Throw in the neutron amplification effects of beryllium with high radiation exposure, hyper compression using some of the new super-high-detonation velocity chemical explosives, and I’d bet there are production nukes out there with sub-kg plutonium pits.

Cool beans. Probably still in the 900g range though.
I love to ask it to "make me a Node.js library that pings an ipv4 address, but you must use ZERO dependencies, you must only the native Node.js API modules"

The majority of models (both proprietary and open-weight) don't understand:

- by inference, ping means we're talking about ICMP

- ICMP requires raw sockets

- Node.js has no native raw socket API

You can do some CoT trickery to help it reason about the problem and maybe finally get it settled on a variety of solutions (usually some flavor of building a native add-on using C/C++/Rust/Go), or just guide it there step by step yourself, but the back and forth to get there requires a ton of pre-knowledge of the problem space which sorta defeats the purpose. If you just feed it the errors you get verbatim trying to run the code it generates, you end up in painful feedback loops.

(Note: I never expect the models to get this right, it's just a good microcosmic but concrete example of where knowledge & reasoning meets actual programming acumen, so its cool to see how models evolve to get better, if at all, at the task).

Education is run by the government in the US, as is healthcare. It's ironic that you blame capitalism for that.

Infant mortality rate is indeed higher than the US. I dug into it a few years back. It seems that the definition of infant mortality is different among different nations. The US has the most expansive view of it - more specifically, we try to save preemies more aggressively than any other nation, and the failures are counted as infant mortalities. Other nations do not.

Wealth equality is a goal of communism. You are not worse off simply because someone else has more money than you.
> their customers all hate them, they have the worst reputation

Maybe worth pointing out- that's a feature, not a bug.

The value Ticketmaster provides is taking the anger from fans for high prices. The performers (and producers/labels/whatever) want to extract as much value from their fans as they can, and having Ticketmaster look like the greedy badperson prevents their fans from being mad at them.
Would that be some sort of non-compete agreement that would need to be enforceable in California?
To add on to your comment, in the arts and creative space there are substantial levels of opposition to AI as it's perceived as a job killer and maybe at some level perverse or akin to an automated plagiarism system that steals their intellectual property (this is complicated and not my personal take, but I see where they're coming from).

It's quite likely that SJ would suffer from severe reputational damage from being the literal voice of AI.

Online grooming is obviously very bad, but it doesn't seem like it's happening very much. Hope for Justice reports ~8,600 cases in 2022 [0], but there were 72.5 million kids in the US that year [1], so that's just .01% of kids. Like, if this is the threshold, we need to go after gun violence and car dependence, because in 2023 firearms killed 4,733 kids and cars killed 4,048 [2]. We need to go after air pollution (wood and gas stoves) which are crazy murderous to kids [3]. Do we really think we'll make a significant dent in that (very low) number by backdooring encrypted messaging apps? Do we even know how much of this is happening over encrypted messaging apps vs. just straight up X and Instagram? Honestly all I want here is an actual fig leaf, not someone spraying a fig leaf air freshener, not someone singing a whispery folk song about a fig leaf from long ago, not someone opening a can of fig leaf La Croix.

Oh that survey. Solidity leads over Javascript.
Schools in some states aren't allowed to discuss any topic that creates "discomfort, guilt or anguish on the basis of political belief." Which means they can't teach about slavery or manifest destiny or any other aspect of American history for which an honest, critical look might make white people uncomfortable. Texas even wanted to mandate that 'slavery' be referred to as 'involuntary relocation' and slaves themselves as 'workers' in textbooks, and Texas teachers are forbidden by law from teaching that slavery was part of the founding of the US, they can only teach that it was a "deviation from American values."

It's a bit more than mildly problematic.
I’m aware. And the company has shown its market-driven motive to be superior in pursuing these goals to the “micromanage-to-death” motive of a reactionary yet uninvolved board.

Having a different API from CUDA is not the problem. Having working and performant product is the problem.

AMD made a nearly clone of CUDA API with HIP (the implementation is garbage btw). The API mostly changes prefix from "cuda" to "hip" and even has semi-automatic source code modifier tool to make the switch.

It's like any other software migration (e.g. from on-prem to cloud):

If ("money to switch library" < "savings per quarter" * quarters)
{
"Do the switch"
} else {
"Status quo"
}
Definitely for the first paragraph. I've got a little blog and to be honest, I could careless if anyone ever reads it. I do it because I want to. If someone stumbles upon it and finds something useful, great! Otherwise its mostly for me. The only somewhat 'promotion' I do is, if I get a lot of the same technical questions over and over, I'll write a blog post. So next time someone asks, I just give them the link to the blog post. Im still active in my University's discord. Lots of people every semester get confused by pointers in C on their first encounter. So when those questions get asked, I paste the link in there and that clears up all the confusion. I can help others, but I don't need to constantly have the same conversation every 6 months.

If you're writing for three.js and GLSL you've already forgone best performance. This is for render agnostic web code - it could be running on anything from a low end android tablet to a gaming PC, in any browser engine new enough to support WebGL. Most developers who use it are looking for a usable API that works everywhere possible, and they don't really care that much about perf because it'll be faster than all the alternatives (JS, canvas, SVG, CSS) even if it's pretty slow for a GPU.

I have an oldish (1997) exotic car as a toy. It cost less upfront than a new Toyota Camry. At a car meet, I overheard someone say to their friend "Man, if I had infinite money, this is what I'd get". I definitely do not own a money printing machine.

Maintenance is something else but I do the work myself so it's not bad. And the fun thing about old low volume exotics is that they are mostly parts bin cars. Tons of shared components are easily available.

I wonder if I should buy a cabin or chalet in remote Canadian areas. It's time to learn camping, hunting and other survival skills! I should also hoard some medical supplies and hopefully get some prescription medicines. One annoyance is that it's too hard to get prescription medicines and virtually impossible to learn injection (and purchase injectable medicine) if you don't go to a school. Oh, don't forget about radios, batteries, gasoline, etc.

Hopefully everything calms down in a couple of weeks and (what's left of the government) comes out to find survivors.
>So in the 40 or so years since 1981, has that blue collar job's output as a percentage of global GDP increased, decreased, or remained the same?

It is a blue collar government job. Like most government jobs, one could easily argue that the "value created" was zero then and is zero now. In any event, the job remains the same, and salary has risen (more or less) with the official rate of inflation. There is no reasonable argument to be made that the same house that this government worker could buy 40 years ago for 2 years salary should now be worth 24 years salary.
> The nice thing about centralized democratic governments is that they can be changed based on the desires of the constituents.

States are centralized democratic governments. They are just smaller than the federal government. If you want to make the argument that having more people under a government is better then do you advocate for a single worldwide government? Why not go all the way?

> This doesnt always work perfectly but it does work more and more if broader sections of the populace spend more time being educated about policy and advocating for things they believe in.

I don't follow how having a centralized government means people are going to be more educated on policies? If the majority of politics happened on a state level why would people be less informed than if it occurred at the federal level. It seems like you are advocating for a more informed populace, which may be beneficial, but it doesn't seem relevant.

>See civil rights as a primary example.

While this may be an example right now, it wasn't always the case.

The federal government (pre civil war) required states that did not have slavery to return runaway slaves back to slave states.

If you want an example of post civil war, look at the Japanese internment camps.

Like I said in my previous post, I don't think it is really possible to determine if rights have actually been expanded since the federal government started getting more involved.

The federal government constantly violates rights.

> In contrast decentralized governments without the failsafes of things like the bill of rights to prevent them from descending into tyranny tend to do just that. Whether its the tyranny of the majority in one region or the tyranny of the rich and powerful, thats a quick route to having human rights trampled, oligarchs put into place and anti-social movements gain power.

I think most, if not all, of the states have a constitution that protects the rights of the residents. Why are you suggesting otherwise?

Maybe they aren't perfect, but the same can be said about the federal constitution.

> This may become less of a risk as education becomes more widespread in a populace and indeed statelessness is an admirable ideal but I dont think we are there yet technologically or ethically and certainly not in the 1790s.

What do you mean by statelessness? Are you advocating for anarchy? That hardly seems like a way to protect rights.
Yes, definitely agree. I didn't mean to say that the buyer has no skin in the game, just that the seller receives no compensation if the buyer pulls out of the deal.

In this case, the buyer probably spent more on the deal than I did, but that wouldn't really comfort me if they had backed out last minute.

Demand driven mainly by hyperscalers. And hyperscalers (MSFT as an example) are aggressively forcing customers (using tactics such a latency/performance compromises, one example being completions in 30 secs vs 1.5 min for the same prompt) to move from a Pay2Go schemes to buying Provisioned Throughput Units with minimum commitments in the order of 16-32k USD monthly with big penalties if you don't forecast your own demand with enough accuracy. Those half-assed offerings may be "interesting" to enterprise customers, but the intermediate/final consumer demand is not going to be in the scale where you think everyone and their grandma are going to use AI (as NVDA investors want to believe), the value is just not there.

That should say enough about the confidence in the capacity of such giant investments in GPUs to bring revenue in the short term future. They're not selling surplus capacity (from their own products as Copilot), they're hoping to sell snake oil directly to customers.
Requires a $10/mo data plan. So that is 2x of the many $5/mo plans you can get for a standalone-setup apple watch SE. Price is $70 less than the SE. Ok, so that crosses over in just over a year.

commercial benefit for copyright is not limited to literally selling things but also covers ads and publicity.

the legal system may be asked to consider if a press release for a new model counts as advertising, and if implying a connection to Her was a significant part of said advertisement.

the fact that it does not cost money does not make it legal. PETA can't go around running its mouth saying "Beyonce supports PETA and banning pets" when she's said no such thing.

Charging. The network of chargers and the billing is a shit show. Also service which is somewhat variable.

If I fast charge anywhere reliable here (instavolt) in the UK I’m better off driving a petrol car. Helm a coal powered one is probably cheaper. So that limits me to home charging which I can’t do any more because I live in an apartment block.

Then why would they need to contact SJ 2 days before the release? If they already had the Sky voice complete? If there wouldn't be enough time to have SJ record everything for the voice?

To me, it doesn't pass the sniff test. Either their talent department is just really bad at planning and had no clue it was releasing just two days later (unlikely), or they were trying to get an agreement signed with her before the release, anticipating that this would happen (likely).
