It eliminates the complexity of maintaining a second, frontend application, as well as all of its build tools and dependencies. It even opens up the freedom to work exclusively in your preferred language. All of these are examples of removing elements, not just hiding them somewhere else.
Oh wow I thought only France has squatting problem.
here the squatters can legally occupy your place for 48 hours, and if that's your only place and you went away on vacation tough luck buddy, they can shit on the floor and tear the walls down

Good luck getting your money/property back
> At the end, you can directly program whatever you want into the car : change the VIN, change the odometer etc.

And you can wind up with an undriveable car this way. Particularly the odometer if you roll it back and try and sell it, your state's DMV will probably reject the title transfer.
The list of prompts are in table 2 on page 18.

Judging from the title, I was most interested in whether they tried to reason against some of the more logical phrases from Alice in Wonderland (e.g. "this bottle was not marked poison", "a grin without a cat", etc), and was disappointed to find that it was not the case.
Why would that be ironic. Apple wilfully is holding gaming back on OSX by ignoring Vulkan and having a pure shit opengl implementation.

The level of correctness from LLMs is actually pretty impressive, given that they are most just attempting to predict the next word, based on the prompt.

It shouldn't come as much of a surprise that we can easily formulate questions that it will get wrong, by wording questions in a particular way, or asking about subjects for which is has little to no training data.

For me the absolutely terrifying thing isn't that LLMs get answers wrong, it's the confidence with which it express those answers and how much some people / companies do not care. We know that the LLMs will get some answers wrong, they will lie, they will make up facts to justify their answers, but if will only do those last two because we make them and insist that they answer all questions (expect those where the developers put in restriction as to not offend).

In some way I feel like the model should be able to rely a confidence score to the user, mostly that might be an interface issue, because we insist on limiting ourselves to the chat bot interface. The confidence score should perhaps exist outside the answer box. So you'd get an answer, and next to it a score from 0 - 100 perhaps, 0 meaning that the model doesn't actually had the training data that would allow it to answer the question.
Tradeoffs on the kind of refurbishment needed compared to a splashdown, since Starliner is supposed to be reusable. Plus stuff like faster extraction of time-sensitive payloads and overall cheaper capsule processing operations since you don't need specially fitted boats chasing after the capsule.

Dragon was also initially intending to land on solid ground, but dropped the idea when NASA asked for additional tests to prove that popping landing legs out of the heat shield would be safe. SpaceX had intended such landings in large part because of the plans for Red Dragon, but since by then they had started to shift towards Starship, they deemed it easier to just splashdown and deal with the extra refurbishment than try to prove out a technology they no longer felt the need for.
Yep. Let's say you're a reputable business with solid earnings and market cap, and a track record of following the rules and being able to meet listing standards. Which exchange(s) are you going to consider? The well-known, venerable NYSE or NASDAQ, or the Texas Freewheelin' Discount Bargain Barbecue Exchange?

Now, if you're a less than reputable business, with questionable earnings and a disregard for following the rules, and you are ineligible to be listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ, which exchange are you going to consider?
Will have a look at it, thanks
URLs are only really uniform not necessarily unique. The most obvious case is something like `http://localhost/file.txt`, where the resource being located is almost sure to be different on every single "localhost," but this is true of any server. The pointer is neither unique nor has any true guarantee that the resource being pointed to can or should be considered unique for any given context. It is merely unique within its calling context, which, when dealing with URLs, is often anywhere on the web where DNS responds.

Even if you presume that the resource being located is in fact a unique resource in the general case, the "unique resource" may not be unique in the way that you presume. Some URLs at a given location are intended to be idempontent and cache-able, others are not, and many are time-limited forwarders. And there's no guarantee or even expectation that two identical forwarding URL's will resolve to the same location; it may well be network-topography dependent.
> Basically, if you buy property, make sure to close it and install a security system. If okupas appear, do the "legal fasttrack" and get them out within 48 hours and it won't be an issue.

Doesn't that make you not want to buy property in the first place? I'd rather buy it someplace where it can't be stolen.
> Yes this is a common thing I see people who think LLMs are idiots do.

If you're among technologists discussing LLMs academically, as we are, that's a reasonable approach. However, I see a lot of people fail to distinguish that from LLM-powerd products sold to the general public as intelligent bots that can understand your plain english and output answers.

People use their existing mental models when interacting with something. If you have 3 different interfaces with a widget to trigger the same exact function, but one look like a music play button, one looks like a gas pedal, and one looks like mechanical pinball plunger, we interact with those things differently because we know how those things work. In this context, chatbots are designed to engage people's existing mental model for chatting with a person via text. The further you stray from people's expectations of human chat, the further you are from people's expectations, for better, or worse.

If you're selling someone a product claiming it understands plain language questions and gives plain language answers, then not getting the right answer to that question makes it idiotic. The subtleties aren't within most users' grasp, and the "FYI: this thing might be full of shit" disclaimer isn't helpful if you don't know enough about what you're asking to administer a proper smell test.

Your statements are obviously not wrong, but I see people saying these things like its reasonable for non-technical end users to reason about those subtleties. Considering how those things are marketed, I really don't think it is.

As I understand it, the Canada housing market is significantly more broken than the US one overall:

Also, isn't there now a massive concern about large scale loan defaults and bankruptcies the next time mortgage rates reset in Canada?
I wouldn't be surprised if anti-gender-bias training (which, to be clear, is a good thing to do IMO) does some cognitive damage to these particular formulations because questions about "sister" and "brother" get associated with training data where the correct answer was to refuse to generalize. Pure guess though.
The queue time for x64 appears to vary quite a bit still. But you are correct that it is much better than what it was a few weeks back, when the analysis was written (it was not unusual to see 60s+ spikes).

Also note that I specifically mentioned that "all third-parties are good on that front, expected [sic] Ubicloud (but that may change)."

Also agree that now that you removed the outdated CPUs (was still active end of May), the analysis should mention that you have OK CPUs by now. I will fix it.

For providers that are on this page, do not hesitate to write to me if you find the analysis outdated for your specific service.

I'm sure the story is true, but I doubt it was effective. I don't think most politicians are really looking at their social media given most of it is trolling junk. I'm sure Russia/Iran/Hamas adjacent countries were doing the same. I just don't think they have been that effective in getting politician support. Direct lobbying or phone/email is much more effective than an online troll farm to get the attention of a politician in DC. I have worked in DC and this still feels very true to this day.

I think the more worrying is going after the low information voter. I didn't think Russia's election interference had much effect in 2016, but now when you look at US Media (largely conservative outlets) their footprint is very visible.
The page loaded for me, but I got bombarded with modals asking me to disable my ad blocker and accept cookies, so it's unreadable anyway.

How many congressmen are dual citizens with Israeli citizenship? This is even worse. Also, AIPAC is allowed to exist. As a thought experiment replace Israeli with Russian citizenship for the Israeli dual citizens in Congress and replace AIPAC with a hypothetical Russian ARPAC. Imagine how crazy this would be. Yet the current situation is somehow completely acceptable.
The fidelity seems pretty good, at least if you convert to MARCXML and then use the XSLT from Library of Congress to generate it. IIRC it has record types for all the FRBR levels. It is also not flat like DC. It was a joy to work with from a record aggregator perspective, especially if you were generating it from MARC. You can even put the full table of contents into it. At the time that one of my colleagues wrote the "MARC Must Die" article (at least if I remember correctly) the teams working on RDA and MODS had a lot of overlap and MODS was being designed with the era's cataloging theory in mind. There was a moment in time where it seemed like a "new MARC" might go in that direction.

Having catalogers or metadata librarians write directly in MODS XML by hand never made sense (although some folks tried this), but as far as something usable to ship around I'd rather get MODS than MARC or dublin core. I really don't want to have to query a triple store to aggregate records.

Catalogers ideally would have tools that make it easy for them follow RDA/AACR2 descriptive practices without having to think about the details of MARC or MODS or linked data.

I've been out of the business for a couple of years, so I have not been following Library of Congress' BIBFRAME transition.
So, not tell them that they're doing the process wrong? Weird.
Landing in water is bad for equipment--the salt water tends to corrode, so refurbishing the capsule after a water landing is a bit harder.
Are any of those problems challenging to deal with? Even if it’s a few expensive man hours the ROI is still quite short.
I am not familiar with the specifics in Spain, but in a lot of jurisdictions that would be illegal. Until they are legally evicted they have the exact same rights as regular tenants, and harassing them would be a crime.

The reasoning behind this is that some shady landlords might try to claim that genuine tenants are squatters in order to get rid of them. There are plenty of desperate people who'd accept a verbal contract and payment in cash, after all. Not that hard of a choice when the alternative is being homeless. Oh, but you paid your rent a day late? Sorry, you're now a "squatter", so we're cooking you alive until you leave.

Making it too easy to get rid of squatters would expose the most vulnerable people in society to even more abuse, and making it trickier for absentee landlords to get rid of real squatters is considered a fair price to prevent this.
Anything like that (a bank vault, a safe) is good for a certain amount of time but will fall if people have enough time to attack it.
True, thanks for correcting that, somehow got it wrong but edited now.
To answer the question in the title, I don't think that Microsoft is even remotely trying to commit suicide. I think they realized that they are so freaking huge that they can nuke the equivalent of an entire year of revenue and still be in no danger.

So they can just try stupid shit left and right and see what happens, if they get lambasted for it, it's no big loss. If it works they will be genius visionaries, stock prices go up, investors are happy.

It doesn't please me but, it is what it is.
Yeah, in general it's not this easy. In this case, seems like the worst case is getting x.999 of each chip.
I think convienence, depreciation and longevity are the main killers of EV popularity. Hybrids (plugin or traditional) win on convienence while having great operating costs. And for depreciation and longevity, it's hard to beat buying a Japanese car and driving it for 20 years before selling it still in great working condition. That tanks any operating cost savings you might hope to get from a EV.

For example, I bought my last car, a 2002 Honda Accord, slightly used in 2004 for $4k. I sold it for the same this year. Obviously it lost value when you factor in inflation, but even so that almost rivals bicycles in affordability. Operating costs were negligible even with the cost of gas being what it is, certainly not enough to tip the scale for EVs.

What kind of evidence do you need? It could be summarized in 3 sentences - it's wordy and repetitive. A human could also write such a thing if paid by line but in 2024 I'd rather assume it's a human + LLM.
AMD ROCm 6.1.2 Released with Fixes and Optimizations
after dealing with LLMs for a while, you just know.

>It is essential for property owners in Spain to be proactive in protecting their assets against potential squatting. This includes ensuring that properties are properly secured, regularly monitored, and that any signs of illegal occupation are promptly addressed with legal action. For squatters, it is important to be aware of the legal risks associated with occupying a property without consent, as well as the potential social and ethical considerations of such actions.

just this paragraph alone is as blatant as misshapen fingers and distorted text in AI-generated images.
Explorer tabs are worth the move.
This is besides the point, the AutoSpotting and EBS Optimizer tools are not even in the scope of this release, I just mentioned them for a bit of extra context about myself and what I've been building previously.

Feel free to criticize them, but that code saved thousands of customers over $100M over the years in aggregate, and was launching at some point a non-negligible percentage of the total AWS Spot capacity.

Regarding the OSS repos, I said they're also still available as open source, but evolved a lot since in the commercial version as stated in the readme of AutoSpotting.

This is the list of changes only available in the commercial version of AutoSpotting: https://github.com/LeanerCloud/AutoSpotting/discussions/489

For EBS Optimizer, the OSS code base evolved into the Optimizer tool released under the ONCE model as part of this bundle and it's been all but rewritten.

Regarding the lack of tests, the code base has seen many changes since, and critical areas have unit tests now.

When it comes to IaC drift, in case of AutoSpotting and EBS Optimizer the ASGs and volumes are expected to be tagged as per the expected tags, and you can do that through IaC to avoid drift.

The instances launched by the ASG can be replaced by AutoSpotting without creating any IaC drift, because the infrastructure code does not have any reference to the instances.

The same is true for EBS Optimizer, it is expected to run against EBS volumes created when launching instances. The IaC will not show drift because it's not keeping track of the underlying EBS volumes, only launching the instances.

But the Optimizer tool part of this ONCE release will indeed cause drift because it's changing the instance type of RDS databases and Elasticache clusters, which is captured in the IaC code. The drift will need to be resolved after the fact, which is what I do as part of my service work when using this tool for my customers.

These tools saved me a lot of time when saving my customers money, and the TF building blocks are just examples of a few patterns that I used for delivering infra for my customers and I've been thinking it may save some people time from building the same from scratch.

If you're not interested in these, fair enough, some people already bought these.
> Basically, if you buy property, make sure to close it and install a security system. If okupas appear, do the "legal fasttrack" and get them out within 48 hours and it won't be an issue.

And also, if you’re gonna buy property please do so to actually live there yourself or to house a business that you own and actually operate.

Don’t buy houses to rent them out.

Don’t buy houses because you think that letting it sit unused for a few years will let you sell it for more in the future.

Don’t buy houses to “renovate” (read: do unnecessary “improvements” that make the value appear higher) just to turn around and sell it.

In general I wish housing was not seen as an “investment”.

There’s plenty of people still that cannot afford to buy a house. Because other people are using housing as a way to gain more money for themselves.
Thank fuck my mortgage rate is locked in. I refinanced when rates were at rock bottom, I'd hate to see what my mortgage payment would look like today if my bank was allowed to raise it.
Boeing's airplane and space segments are about as separate as you can get within the same company.
MBAs really is just a cult or I guess based on the amount of people it can be considered a religion?. They got a bunch of little equations they threat as universal laws of science all in an effort to 'maximize' profits in the short term and ruin the whole company in the medium/long term.

They are a plague that infects every business. Remember that spot you used to visit that was good but now it's shitty and expensive?. Where instead of going back to what used to sell they double down on making it shittier and or smaller. They employ any and all cost cutting strategies imginable, they have less staff, go cashless, etc.. yet they will keep charging the same or more than before.
I'd see as both Spain and France has a housing crisis, the squatting is a symptom of that problem.

Guess the difference is that in Spain if you detect them within 48 hours of them entering the property, you can "easily" and legally remove them with the help of the courts and police.

But once you're beyond those 48 hours, things get a lot harder.
That's what happens when you turn criminals into victims. Wrong incentives and side effects make a bad situation worse.
It's owed to these entities at that rate for a specific amount of time. Swapping homes should then mean that the new home is on a payment timeline of whatever the remaining term is, not reset to 30 years. You'd also need to have not increased the loan amount for the math to work out, so either you'd need to sell the old home for more than what the new one costs, or come up with the difference in cash. On top of that, the original loan is backed with the old home as collateral, so the new home would also need to be worth at least as much as the remaining balance.
“Unfortunately, human beings assume that LLMs are sentient and understand the questions they're asked, rather than being unthinking statistical models that cough up the highest probability answer-shaped object generated in response to any prompt, regardless of whether it's a truthful answer or not.”

I don’t think this is something that will stay true. Users become more educated on what their systems can and cannot do as well as an intuition of their inner workings over time. Getting the shape of the highest probability answer is a very useful tool that shouldn’t be underestimated, especially if it’s understood that way.

As for the Recall related stuff in the rest of the article, I have similar sentiment. Only difference is that I feel like they could really pull off a very useful, similar tool but there are definitely a lot of serious concerns to be solved here first, and rolling it out in its current state is morally irresponsible of those pushing it at Microsoft.

You'd be surprised by how many HN users would prefer to keep politics-first-tech-second news off the site.
This is pure madness. So you have 48 hours after squatting started to report it and potentially get a fast eviction (why is it not an automatic criminal case for breaking into the property is beyond me). But after 48 hours it seems like it becomes a nightmare. So if you are on a business trip for 3 days or visiting parents in a different city or vacationing for a few days and somebody enters your home, you are out of luck and the squatters now have more rights than you?!
Sort of - basically prevent outside snooping and slow down someone trying to break in. I don't know of too many that claim they also are meant to survive attempts to break in as long as a bank vault.

Frankly I'm surprised the method wasn't simply knocking on the door and saying "Hey, I forgot my badge/key/code, can you let me in?"
