The article rings true to me.

I don't think that we want to try to turn the clock back, as much as trying to find ways to combine the good parts of past and present norms, while excising the bad parts.

I'm a parent of 4 small children in a smallish town (16k, single school at each grade level), and I'm cherishing the sense of community much more than I expected. There's something to having shared context with almost every person I run into in town. I only wish I felt like it were safe for my kids to explore on foot.

We also live by my wife's entire extended family, and that, too, has been incredibly helpful.

I was raised in a tight knit Baptist church, and while I don't miss the theology, I do think the sense of community, service, values, and culture is something that I don't have a full substitute for, as much as I have the town and family communities. I'm considering seeking out a non-creedal group to belong to, like the Unitarian Universalists.
They didn't buy the phones to make calls. Just to flaunt that they could afford it. Just like you don't buy a Faberge Egg to have for breakfast.

The current code for board generation is as follows:

var neutralChances = Random.Range(1, MaxNeutralChances + 1);
square.GoodChances = Random.Range(MinGoodChances, 20 - neutralChances);
square.BadChances = 20 - (square.GoodChances + neutralChances);

MaxNeutralChances and MinGoodChances are both set to 6 in the release build. Note that one chance is equal to one face of the die, so 5%. Also, this overload of Random.Range() has an inclusive min value but an exclusive max value.

I guess I didn't include ties in that little blurb I wrote up, but the real results of my 10k trials were around 5:1:11.5 (lose:tie:win) for the AI vs random actor.

Would love to see your AI when it's done! Please shoot me an email if you want. My email is in my profile / in the site footer.

please explain how a meteor would guarantee the extinction of humankind, and if so, over what time frame this would occur. I think you're overestimating the severity of a large meteoric impact on a geologic time scale. Mass extinctions occur over thousands of years.

And Apple Fitness and Apple News.

I can follow workout instructions in english, as can my kids. But Apple has decided that Apple One is more shit over here for some reason.
I already linked to this article on Advanced Data Protection for iCloud (e2ee for most things) in a different comment, but it feels like a lot of people don’t know about this feature. It literally has zero effect on the user experience (except janky access to iCloud via the web, but shrug). Apple’s competitors don’t have anything close and their business models mean they probably never will.

I'm in Eastern Europe; I've only seen an "American-style" SUV once I think two decades ago. I still can't get that image out of my mind. It was like a tank in front of my car. I couldn't understand how it fits our streets, how it parks, I couldn't see around it. Just... wow, honestly. I have no idea what car it was, but it was like a huge pick-up.
It's amazing to see in China too ... cars pulling out everywhere in front of each other, weaving in and out of traffic.

However I suspect there are less road accidents there per capita than here in Australia since everybody there has to pay attention and is patient with other drivers. Australian drivers either tune out or are too aggressive (road rage) and cause more accidents.
Google drops users not customers. It's an important distinction.

Ok, they drop customers too, and even as a customer its gard to talk to a human. And that in itself is a huge barrier to entry to some possible customers.

Personally we use Google for ads. We pay them money, but don't get to talk to a human. They'd drop us if we behave in a way the algorithm doesn't like. They get away with this because there are very few alternatives.

But we don't use GCP. We use AWS, and talk to a human a couple times a year. And issues get fixed.

So yes, it works for Google, but only really in the space where they have a somewhat-monopoly.

In other spaces like Gmail or Google+, they happily drop users all the time because those are users, not customers.
I’m not sure I understand the paranoia that Apple is secretly storing your data. Sure they could secretly do so but it doesn’t make any sense. Their whole schtick is privacy. What would Apple benefit from violating what is essentially their core value prop? They’d be one whistleblower away from permanent and irreparable loss of image.
I think the parent poster's point is that nowadays Japanese studios also significantly outsource to Korea, which is probably true.
The HN rules say the original source should be posted (which may mean a paywalled link) and that you shouldn’t post comments complaining about it:

Yeah, by having literally a shitton of cash, and having bought multiple ML startups over the years.

The key issue brought up in my article is that ad networks are choosing to allow advertisers to defraud the public.

These ad networks are playing the victim by tying their hands behind their back and refusing to do anything about the issue that they created. They all support link spoofing while simultaneously declaring policies that they don't effectively enforce.

As a result, I believe that these advertisers are effectively complicit with the fraudsters that "abuse" them.

Went live with a small scale service business recently and am seriously looking into the branding kit platform.
Soto answer your question I would pay for that one and the current price, while discounted, seems like great value.

I’m a fan of Pay once use forever models. Another site I purchased access to, with pdfs etc was “howacarworks.com” which has been valuable and was like $20

Good luck with things

Just pull yourself up by your bootstraps into a house! Easy.
I recently lived in Portland when a teen was killed by a car in the southeast part of the city. The guy fled back to Saudi Arabia and no semblance of justice occurred. In the real world, vehicular crimes are seen as just a part of life. Consider the common term "car accident" and the absolving of responsibility it implies.
Well, here's another one: they promised that your local (non-iCloud) photos don't leave the device. Yet they will now — among many other things they mentioned doing with your photos — allow you to generate "Memoji" that look like the people in your photos. Which includes the non-iCloud photos.

I can't picture any way to use a RAG to do that.

I can picture a way to do that that doesn't involve any model fine-tuning, but it'd be pretty ridiculous, and the results would probably not be very good either. (Load a static image2text LoRA tuned to describe the subjects of photos; run that once over each photo as it's imported/taken, and save the resulting descriptions. Later, whenever a photo is classified as a particular subject, load up a static LLM fine-tune that summarizes down all the descriptions of photos classified as subject X so far, into a single description of the platonic ideal of subject X's appearance. Finally, when asked for a "memoji", load up a static "memoji" diffusion LoRA, and prompt it with the that subject-platonic-appearance description.)

But really, isn't it easier to just fine-tune a regular diffusion base-model — one that's been pre-trained on photos of people — by feeding it your photos and their corresponding metadata (incl. the names of subjects in each photo); and then load up that LoRA and the (static) memoji-style LoRA, and prompt the model with those same people's names plus the "memoji" DreamBooth-keyword?

(Okay, admittedly, you don't need to do this with a locally-trained LoRA. You could also do it by activating the static memoji-style LoRA, and then training to produce a textual-inversion embedding that locates the subject in the memoji LoRA's latent space. But the "hard part" of that is still the training, and it's just as costly!)
I agree, but I was talking specifically about the govt.

The govt basically requires total access doesn't it? I mean every govt basically wants it, and the US has tried many times, but so far hasn't quite gotten complete access everywhere.

Talking about billions is disingenuous, you should be talking about percentages of revenue. Ten billion _sounds_ like a lot but really isn't.

For Google, over 80% of their revenue comes from ads.

Apple's revenue is around 380 billion, 5-10 billion in ads is in the "other" category if you draw a pie chart of it... They make 30 billion just selling iPads - their worst selling product.

Apple can lose the ad category completely and they won't even notice it. If Google's ads go away because of privacy protections, the company will die.
I don't see anything wrong with that at all. They've created a branding term that allows consumers to get an idea of the sort of pixel density they can expect without having to actually check, should they not want to bother.
This is a case where The Bitter Lesson [0] should make you feel better about the future. We are already butting up against the limitations of the current model and veering into fine-tuning and incremental improvement of what we've got (RAG, etc). The next step change will indeed leverage an order of magnitude more compute, but what we have now isn't "it" (AGI).

What would be an example of a macro process causing a micro without going through micro processes?

I would think the best you can do is something like fractal geometry, where self-similarity appears at all scales. In some sense, the rules are both micro and macroscopic. An example where this might have real-world implications is Palmer's Invariant Set Theory, which suggests that this fractal structure shapes both cosmological structures and what we see in quantum theory, eg. like violations of Bell's inequality,
I have been involved in security audits for 110% closed code, code that's secret even within the company.

Auditing helps the company writing it, the auditors are usually experts in breaking stuff in fun ways, and it's good for business - we could slap "code security audited by XXX" on the sales pitch.
Your products look fine. I suspect that your marketing and targeting are one of the reasons for the lack of traction.

Over the years I have observed that many technical people suffer from not-invented-here syndrome and prefer to write solutions themselves. Non-technical people can't be bothered to understand essential technical concepts. They just want somebody to do it for them.
I am wondering why we don't see more OF models using custom domains instead. $10/yr shouldn't be too big of a price for them. Perhaps those About You page services don't support that?

Obvious cheats like spinbots spinning like crazy aren’t the only form of cheating, many cheats are more subtle and you may not realize as a player in the game, or an admin.

My hoster does not support docker, this is the problem.
This is true for even regular software APIs. By all accounts, we could have a beautifully interwoven quilt of standardized APIs that connect any system to any other system with ease.

But business realities mean that just cannot exist, it actually doesn't survive first contact with business logic let alone all the auth* issues. An atomic level of interoperability will hit this issue immediately.

If they are seeing AI as a sort of fuzzy connector between components, it is a non-starter from my perspective. Even if you had squishy brains doing the work, it wouldn't pan out.
It definitely looks a bit too concise and extraneous information packed to be anything else

I’m curious if simply running the proton mail bridge on a Mac at home would allow the native mail app feed “semantic” context across devices to iOS.
When you search for an app, google will happily allow attackers to buy that result and direct mislabeled links to the attackers' site. A former ceo got his laptop owned that way trying to install Adobe Acrobat because he unfortunately trusted google and thought the first result for a search for Adobe Acrobat would be legit. I was quite annoyed about having to clean up his laptop but you have to be relatively sophisticated not to get taken in.

This continues to be a problem; from the article, see eg this ad for Bitwarden:

https://x.com/KarlEmilNikka/status/1792554054893072672

Google allows the attacker to target navigational queries (in this case, bitwarden) and display "www.bitwarden.com" as the link text on a link that does not actually go to www.bitwarden.com .

The root cause is Google are parasites that (1) monetize navigation / install queries; and (2) force you to buy ads on your own company's name [1]. This opens the gate to attacks like the above, which they also don't effectively police.

A couple of years ago Apple was busted when it was discovered that most Apple first-party apps weren't getting picked up by packet sniffer or firewalls on macOS.

Apple tried deflecting for a while before finally offering up the flimsy claim that it "was necessary to make updates easier". Which isn't a really good explanation when you're wondering why TextEdit.app needs a kernel network extension.

To be fair, NATO didn't accept any states between East Germany (1990) and Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland (99).

During that time Russia had a failed coup (91), Yugoslavia had crumbled and devolved into war (92-95), Russia had fought one Chechen war (94-96) and was in the middle of another, state assets had been sold to form the oligarchy (95), and Putin had just inherited power.

It's not unreasonable to think the 1990 plan was to incorporate Russia into Europe, and by 1999 that was revealed as unreasonable.
That's true, but also it should be possible to make an OS that people can trust without trusting you, and as users we should encourage movement in that direction.

Yea, their models are more targeted. You can't ask Apple Intelligence/Siri about random celebrities or cocktail recipes.

But you CAN ask it to show you all pictures you took of your kids during your vacation to Cabo in 2023 and it'll find them for you.

The model "underperforms", but not in the ways that matter. This is why they partnered with OpenAI, to get the generic stuff included when people need it.
I just checked out mvprecipes.com, here are some thoughts:

* You spend a lot of time explaining what a MVP is, for the target audience this is moot, and it also creates negative expectations, eg “ maybe this is not for me”

* I wasn’t excited and tempted to shell out $39 since I didn’t really understand what the capabilities of your offering are: where’s the video or link to blog post that shows you or someone else transforming an idea to MVP using the product. Maybe I missed this.

* I found the “someone in the US bought this 7 days ago” banner annoying

Did you look at the eyes/pips?

On the side with 5, they are overlapping.
On the side with 4, some of them are half missing.
On the side with 3, they are arranged in triangle instead of a straight line.

Not to talk about that 2 and 5 should be on opposing sides, same with 3 and 4.

It's basically like early AI being unable to generate hands, or making 6 fingers.
SuperMemo for Wizards (2020) [video]
There's no shortage of technical info on the internet. If you want to learn about networks or printing or Active Directory or databases or Windows APIs or Web Servers or security or whatever you like, it's sll there.

Yes, the AI let's you ask questions and get answers. It's a more interactive approach, and it helps to clarify thinking, but having a solid foundation will always lead to better understanding.

As someone who has always worked in a small company, and as someone who has by necessity had to learn many different parts of IT, up and down the IT stack, it's always been possible.

Equally I work with businesses, the vast majority of whom are less than 10 people - and those small businesses produce code every day which is used all over the place. Turns out, if you knew a domain really well, could code, and don't have 3 layers of management, good things can get done really quickly.

Ive watched people who swear that Apple "just works" struggle when it doesnt.

The difference is just that because of the halo effect they dont blame Apple for the shit that doesnt work. If there is a 3rd party tangentially involved they blame them instead.
The "AI" bit (a word they didn't mention during the keynote BTW) is the processing of a natural language user command to something the existing ML model can understand.

Most of the things shown during the keynote, can already be done with older iPhones - on device, but they need to be "talked to" like a computer, not with natural language that's not completely perfect.
