Llama 8B is like 17ish gigs. You can throw that onto a single 3090 off ebay. 700 for the card and another 500 for some 2nd hand basic gaming rig.

Plus you don't need a 4 slot PCIE mobo. Plus it's a gen4 pcie card (vs gen3). Plus skipping the complexity of multi-GPU. And wouldn't be surprised if it ends up faster too (everything in one GPU tends to be much faster in my experience, plus 3090 is just organically faster 1:1)

Or if you're feeling extra spicy you can do same on a 7900XTX (inference works fine on those & it's likely that there will be big optimisation gains in next months).
The author wrote "it feels like C". You're saying "the language feels like a highly evolved C". Those are two very different things. I agree with your statement but "highly evolved" implies they're substantially different.
A total recall
Reminds me of when a favorite restaurant is bought and changes just enough to not be a favorite anymore, despite seemingly having the same menu. That feels like a similar analogy. Engineering has important details in the subtlety.
No recordings yet in my area, was looking how to contribute: audio seems licensed under creative commons so it's not locked in (nice), submission process sounds straightforward (nice), checking out the submission flow: that requires signing in with a google account... but there is also an email address mentioned, perhaps that's an alternative path. Bit sad that the default flow just assumes you're happy with one of the biggest ad tech companies' privacy policy, especially when this project seems to have taken the effort to make a clear and succinct privacy policy of their own.
Or crowd source the recognition, by letting people mark video parts as ads and then sharing that data and the recognition tool with each other.

Yeah, my eyes couldn't take that for very long
In the real world, cities like Boston go for what's called Land Value Capture instead of LVT. Basically asking developers for bunch of benefits such as bike lanes, affordable units, etc. at the time of permitting process.

My thoughts are mixed about this approach. On one hand, it feels like extortion since it is tied to permitting. On the other hand, benefiting the community in general around the development site seems also right.
Worse, using computers without being experts on them.
> French electricity prices turned negative as a drop in demand and surging renewables output prompted some nuclear reactors to power down.

Can they just not sell power to neighboring countries?

The US does that between states.
> taking from people who produce the most value and giving it to others.

Nice hand-wave. This presumes some people produce most value, and they bear the burden of carrying others (who receive value).

This is all very vague. I disagree with this notion pf how government works until you can be clearer of who you are talking about.

> Those people are society.

So is a drug dealer. Or a con artist. Among many others.

The state exists in part to regulate what is allowed or not.

Babysitters, Local tradespeople, their clients, etc and so forth benefit from it.
you mean pay actual money instead of time? what are we? savages?
On a solar scale though earth goes through a full orbit in just a year, Mars two years.

It is interesting that Jupiter has an 11 year orbit and that kind of matches the flip, might just be coincidence but that mass has a huge tug though. Sun is only 1000 times the mass of Jupiter, if you think of it like a "failed star" it's kinda like a pseudo binary? Eh I am grasping at straws.

No copyright license is going to stop a state from using the model for the military use that they really need. First of all, I’m pretty sure most countries have laws allowing the state to ignore copyright in the case of national defense. More importantly, power does what it wants and what it can get away with.
Very interesting hypothesis. Anyone here with more expertise want to comment?

The summary is that the sun is actually metallic hydrogen, which forms a lattice similar to layers of graphite. This both explains the black-body radiation of the sun and provides a mechanism to explain sunspots and the solar maximum and pole flip: sunspots are non-hydrogen elements that are excluded from the metallic hydrogen lattice and push it upwards as they migrate to the surface and are ejected.

Network television already has a couple of options with this with chirons on the bottom of the screen during programs and animated overlays moving across the screen as well. One has to wait for stuff to appear on DVD or other streaming services to get around those ads.
Ah yes, an amazing source where you can only read it if you're duped into signing up for a 12 month commitment to them for the pleasure of watching your pocket book sucked dry.

Both the /lore page and the wikipedia article provides more information about it for free than the NYT does.

Let's just go full circle and invent TiVo for streaming video.
There are already Recall type of products on the market, not just that, they also work on the cloud not just locally. All Microsoft had to do was make it opt in by default
No, the source of the information in the article is the author of SponsorBlock saying they currently have no way to distinguish the ads from the content for users who are getting these inline ads.
Hehe, +1 year ago I actually made a (half-serious, half-assed) project alluding to this possible future: https://butter.sonnet.io

The way this works: use LLMs to detect sponsored content in transcripts, then skip that during playback.

I can see an approach, let's call it "universal adblocker", where there's an app running in background, detecting ads (using a11y APIs or just screenshots) and skipping / masking them with a full awareness of how to control a given app. It could block different sections of the screen or just control the UI to skip past the crap.
Maybe the powers that be will have to come to terms with how they have *completely fucking obliterated all public trust in any large institution*.
Recall uses local AI models built into Windows 11 to screenshot mostly everything you see or do on your computer and then give you the ability to search and retrieve items you’ve seen. An explorable timeline lets you scroll through these snapshots to look back on what you did on a particular day on your PC. Everything in Recall is designed to remain local and private on-device, so no data is used to train Microsoft’s AI models.

Clearly you don't value it if you don't want to compensate them or the creators for the content.
If you don't wish to be reliant on academics being able to study disinformation for you, the second best thing might be to read the textbooks that teach how it is produced.
My parents still use a TiVo and it as ad skipping features: https://tivoidp.tivo.com/tivoCommunitySupport/s/article/Skip...

I think the ads might be manually tagged, which would be a lot easier with hundreds of broadcast shows, instead of thousands/millions of random videos on youtube.
tl;dr: no-ish, it's getting better but still not there.

I don't really get it, only thing I can surmise is it'd be such a no-brainer in various cases, that if they tried supporting it as a service, they'd have to cut users. I've seen multiple big media company employees begging for some sort of response on their discord.
For broadcast, there are at least a few open source ad detectors: https://github.com/erikkaashoek/Comskip, https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythcommflag
>I really value youtube, but as long as google owns it I will never pay, never ever.

I really value youtube, and I do pay for premium. It's not expensive. We use youtube far more than any other streaming service, and it costs less than all the others.
Exactly, this is how you do it.
Public ledger is also a privacy (and potentially fungibility) nightmare.
Belts are actually elastic. They just are not that easy to stretch, which is exactly what you want.
Well, I know what I’m going to be watching for the next few hours…

I find these types of analysis very helpful at work and building strong fundamentals has never left me regretting the time investment.
This seems like a great way to speedrun losing your job.
For how much I watch and enjoy YouTube, paying full price is absolute worth it.
This is a very cynical take. I've not seen anything to make me think this feature is intended for surveillance as opposed to personal utility. The personal utility benefits are very clear to me - the problem is the ease with which malicious attackers might steal the data (if they can breach the system).
Sweet Christ that brings up horrible memories of scrambling across the living room to turn down the volume on a knob when I was seriptitiously watching late night tv. The volume on the shows were good, but the damn commercials were SO LOUD.

I blame a local car dealer for most of my groundings as a child.
Ask HN: Where do you hire when scaling?
When you went from 1 to 5 employees, where did you find these people?

And how do the best do this?

How did the guy who started Coinbase went from 1 to 3 people? Where did he find them? Or the guy who started Airbnb where did he find employee number 2 and 3?

Are they using Upwork to find talent?

Or many of you guys here with successful businesses and agencies. Where are you hiring?

How do the best tech entrepreneurs do this?

Rule of thumb for Youtube videos is to hit 3 to get to where the video actually starts.

Obviously not meant to be taken literally, but surprisingly often could be.
That's an awesome note. Thank you.
Ideally you'd have slides purely for presentation, and an accompanying interactive self-contained HTML document for the documentation of the talk.
They're not just burning the ads into the video once, they're splicing them in dynamically, so the location and duration of ads can be different every time you view a video. The article literally quotes the SponsorBlock dev saying this breaks SponsorBlock because it assumes the ads will always be at the same timestamp.
Voyager 1 is doing science and is still alive
The dev actually went on Twitter[1] to say this currently breaks the extension and they disabled submissions from users with embedded ads enabled

Unfortunately my mac mini isn't beefy enough to run ollama, it's the base model m1 from a couple years ago lol. But it's very powerful for builds, deploys, and some computation via scripts. Now I'm curious to check out how much memory the newest ones support for potentially using ollama on it haha. Thanks!
The little summary under the headline reads:

The Stanford Internet Observatory provided real-time analysis on viral election falsehoods, but has struggled amid attacks from conservative politicians and activists.
I'm not really sure what your point is...
using Tailscale can make the networking setup much easier, really like their service for things like this (or curling another dev's local running server)
We just rewrote our most heavily used SDK to run on top of OTel. What do we gain from it failing?

We also make most of our revenue from errors which don’t have an open protocol implementation outside of our own.
Does it really matters in performance. I see python in these kind of setups as orchestrators of computing apis/engines. For example from python you instruct to compute following list etc. No hard computing in python. Performance not so much of an issue.
Because Google <insert reason here>, you think you are entitled to accessing it for free?
This strikes me as a rebrand of the "value-added" reseller or consultant implementation model; particularly in the middle-market space. I'm sure there are imagined differences in theory but in practice I can't imagine that it's much different with the exception of private capital coming from VCs rather than PEs.

I'll say this every time this comes up: if YouTube wants money for their service, that's fine and their right, but they do not have the right to try to circumvent what my browser does. If they don't like that, they can block people who use adblockers. Simple.
I think there's more to it than that. After a while, they say "We're going to send some of your information into the cloud to give you a better experience." Then a while after that, you have to click the button giving permission to send all your information to the cloud or you can't use Windows.

In spite of claims often made on this site that nobody understands or cares about privacy, people do care and understand when it's something this obvious and this extreme.

> The AI won't care if the human on the phone is angry, since it doesn't have emotions.

I'd say that AI can care about humans emotions, but the wonderful thing is AI doesn't have to have programmed emotional responses to emotions of others. Theoretically speaking, AI could respond to anger by applying some soothing techniques, like acknowledging emotions and active listening.
TPM was met with resistance due to privacy concerns and Microsoft quietly re-introduced it anyway. The same will happen to Recall.
Why do they not have that right?
And more generally, consumers of Windows-only software, of which there is still a ton.
That hasn't been my experience with ghost/dark kitchens. They work great for niche ethnic foods that might not attract enough foot traffic.
That's an anecdote. From the perspective of lean employers I suspect that when it comes down to it soft skills will lose out to productivity/cost.

Also call me cynical but this probably means more meetings, many of which can turn out to be a big waste of time for the individual.
Paypal didn't "break off": it was spun off by eBay. It's not like a division can secede and declare independence.
Makes a lot of sense.

On the other hand, I think there will be a tipping point where if there's enough hints that what you're saying over the phone is not exactly what the other person is hearing, you will become even more frustrated / angry and will simply stop trusting support calls in general. Humans are too perceptive.
In the early 200s my family has a DVR called a ReplayTV. It was like a TiVo but it had an auto-skip function for commercials, and it usually worked pretty well.
So what you're saying is ... there's a market for LLM to help make mouse movements look natural to avoid this in the future.
If it does, it does. If it doesn't, it doesn't.

How is your question relevant?
Let’s say you have a fishing net that is end-of-life. It can be discarded, in which case it will break down over time into microplastics etc., in the ocean or a landfill.

Or it can be recycled, in which case most of the plastic in the net is fixed into a new physical object.

The second one seems better to me than the first one. Do you disagree? Or is your objection to the continued use of plastics in clothing at all?
I don't agree, imo being asked questions still draws creativity from yourself. It also help to clarify your thoughts.
It's like pair programming or rubberducking. The goal isn't to wait until someone else tells you what to write.

But I agree that a lot of people are copy pasting from chatGPT until it works
I understand what the author is saying, but vendor lock-in with closed-source observability platforms is a significant challenge, especially for large organizations. When you instrument hundreds or thousands of applications with a specific tool, like the Datadog Agent, disentangling from that tool becomes nearly impossible without a massive investment of engineering time. In the Platform Engineering professional services space, we see this problem frequently. Enterprises are growing tired of big observability platform lock-in, especially when it comes to Datadog's opaque nature of your spend on their products, for example.

One of the promises of OTEL is that it allows organizations to replace vendor-specific agents with OTEL collectors, allowing the flexibility of the end observability platform. When used with an observability pipeline (such as EdgeDelta or Cribl), you can re-process collected telemetry data and send it to another platform, like Splunk, if needed. Consequently, switching from one observability platform to another becomes a bit less of a headache. Ironically, even Splunk recognizes this and has put substantial support behind the OTEL standard.

OTEL is far from perfect, and maybe some of these goals are a bit lofty, but I can say that many large organizations are adopting OTEL for these reasons.
I understand the sentiment, but I have a hard time seeing any educational value is 99% of anything I’ve ever seen on tiktok. There definitely were bad teaches, and I assume still are. But the window and paper airplanes weren’t tuned to suck you in for hours and hold your attention. I still think things are legitimately worse today.
AI Search: The Bitter-Er Lesson
What's next? Maybe jump by youtube thumbails +/- seconds.

There's old project called timelens with youtube userscript that generates visual timeline like:

Matching bands of colours signitures that maps to whats actually onscreen seems more durable than timestamps. Until youtube gets rid of preview thumbnails.
No need for that. Every time the ad plays it is the same bitstream so you need to mark it once (for every resolution and format). So we essentially we will have signatures for ads similar like anti-virus software does for malware

For everything else it’s next to useless.
I don’t see how that is a logical set of sentenced. You try to circumvent their ads, they try to circumvent your ad blocking.
They do have the right to try to circumvent what your browser does. They're not even circumventing it by trying to disable stuff in your browser; they're just changing their delivery mechanism. It's semantics but in reality they're not actually messing with your computer.

The alternative is revoking your viewing privileges without having watched an ad for the video you clicked on, which they both morally and legally have the right to do if you decide not to pay for the service you're consuming.
Are there any videos/audio examples of this in action?
Yeah technically they aren't trying to circumvent anything your browser is doing they are just serving you videos with ads in them instead of videos and ads served separately
I really wish that I could pay for an ad-free service, without being tracked on every site there is :(

Just offer a plain youtube-Account and we have a deal.
How would they even know?
Don’t do this. Google will ban your account. My friends have done this before in video games and have gotten their accounts perma banned months / years later.
Don't learn frameworks, languages, or even computer science! The real secret is to become a tech influencer on social media. Just post photos of yourself with the latest MacBook in trendy coffee shops, drop buzzwords like "blockchain", "AI", "Web3", and "disruptive innovation", and watch the job offers roll in.

Who needs to grind LeetCode or understand algorithms when you have 100k followers? Companies will throw money at you just to look cool by association.

Of course, this strategy may only work until the VC funding runs out and they realize you can't actually code your way out of a paper bag... But hey, by then you'll have cashed out and moved on to your next "passion project"!

Interesting; I do wonder if transcripts, or at least subtitles, will contain info from the inline ads. If they don't, it hurts accessibility and thus reach of the ads, and if they do it can then be detected by software.
One concern not mentioned would be the proliferation of the fungi if they are exposed to a new endlessly abundant source of food, and which then upsets the current ecosystem balance.
Has TPM been a net positive or negative for users / enterprises / the industry?
Then I think they should submit the email (e.g. in a pastebin or Google doc or something). Not misrepresent the contents of this page.

First, editorializing the submission titles is against HN policies. Second, it'd let us see the actual communication from Vercel rather than a paraphrase.
It's reductive, but the great thing about democracy is that the voters get exactly what they deserve.
This must be location dependent.

In the US, generalists are still high in demand. You might end up writing Wordpress plugins or some other unsexy tech, but there's work available for a decent salary.

Or if you are in the US and you're thinking about tech purely in terms of startup/vc/faaang terms, then you're more right, but wrt tech more broadly that's just not the case.
That's why I said "and someone to manage them". The difference is in the tens of thousands of dollars per instance. The savings from even a dozen instances is enough to pay for someone to manage them full time, and that's just for the first year. Year 2 and 3 you're saving six figures per instance so you'd be able to afford one person per machine to hand massage them like some fancy kobe beef.

A100 TDP is 400W so assuming 4kW for the whole machine, that's a little more than $5k/year at $0.15/kWh. Again, the difference is in the tens of thousands per instance. Even at 50% utilization over three years, if you need more than a dozen machines it's much cheaper to buy them outright, especially on credit.
Yeah the big question I’m struggling with is exactly when training demand will fall if at all
