OpenAI will presumably offer more than a chatbot in the future. Even so, you can already upload files into it for analysis.

I for one don't think it's a coincidence that Microsoft is pushing Windows Recall for consumers (keeping a permanent index of deleted files), pushing OneDrive as the default save location for O365 enterprise, and sinking billions into OAI.
Please write the post where you analyze R&D through these different lenses! I would love to hear more of your thoughts.
1. Fine. You didn't derail the discussion; you just deliberately opened a tempting door for it to be derailed. As a "bozo filter". Is that better?

2. The person who derailed the conversation was 293984j29384.

3. It's AnimalMuppet, not animalmuppet.

4. Why do I care? I think about that scene in Chariots Of Fire where the track coach is talking to a sprinter, and explaining that is starting steps are too far apart. As he explains what it's like, he says "It knocks you back" and slaps him lightly in the face. The runner rocks back slightly. "Knocks you back" and slaps him lightly. He does this four times. Then he says, "You see?"

That's what you're doing to your readers with your dates and your lack of proper capitalization. Sure, they can read it. But it costs them a small amount of unnecessary effort to parse it. Does it matter? As the track coach said, "I can get you another two yards." Two yards isn't much, in a 100 yard race, but it's enough to matter. (And posts are read more often than they are written. It's a small matter for each reader, but if 10 people read it, or 100, it adds up.)

Look, if you want to do that in a blog, that's fine. You do you. I won't care. But I care about HN, and I care about you making it a worse experience for people. I wish you would stop doing so.

ChatGPT says a desktop CPU uses 105Wh for every hour of maxed computations. I think a hash with 8 leading zeros takes around an hour and every additional 0 takes 16x that. I'll ignore anything less than 8 0s and disregard how close the hashes are to gaining or losing a 0.

There's 13 8s, so that's 1365Wh. 5 9s is 8400Wh, 2 10s is 53760Wh, 3 11s is 1290240Wh.

Total that's ~1.35MWh, which might cost $100 to $180. Very weak estimate, though.

Me and a colleague of mine once posted essentially the same video of us pushing a coke can across a table, making the sound vaguely similar to Chewbacca.

His video got maybe 100-200 views, and mine got 1.7 million views on YouTube and somewhere between 50 and 100 million views across other platforms. The reason? I happened to post my video to reddit a few hours later, which happened to coincide better with people getting ready for Thanksgiving in the states. I'm from Denmark, so it didn't really cross my mind.

PeerWave WebRTC Share and Stream
I'm thrilled to announce that I've created my very first repository on GitHub: PeerWave!

PeerWave is an exciting new website that lets you stream and share content directly via WebRTC, utilizing a peer-to-peer connection.

But that's not all—I've also set up a CI/CD pipeline to push images directly to DockerHub, making it easy for anyone to deploy.

And to top it all off, I've released PeerWave under the MIT license, so it's free and open for everyone to use and contribute to.

Check it out and join me in this amazing journey of decentralized sharing!

ffmpeg is C, unsurprising.

7zip is C++ but fairly light.

Try building Chromium or Firefox, perhaps.

In general, unless it's very pre-market and exploratory/academic, research and development almost implies BigCo--and it tends to tilt towards development over time. The obvious exceptions are both pretty rare and last about as long as the company has a bunch of extra money to toss around.
In recent years, people have been realizing how car centric transportation cannot scale (ie, induced demand); and is an environmental disaster.

In the US, I'm pretty sure a significant majority of people are more or less all in on a car centric lifestyle. That doesn't mean it can't change, but I sure don't think it has meaningfully started to change.
>The AI can nonetheless deliver bullshit better than a child, despite the child having potential to eventually do better.

Honestly, I always felt slinging bullshit was a super useful skill. I'm pretty good at it and synthesizing on the spot from practice. When the big models first hit and I saw how much better at bullshit they were than I was, it really made me feel uncanny valley uncomfortable. Their output had the same truthy+confident timbre that I could write, but it drew from an unfathomably wider shallow pool than I could no matter how much I've read and could tenuously link together.

I wish this wasn't the case. I also wish bullshit wasn't a useful skill and more people were inoculated against it. I'm just waiting for the new machine gun phishing wave to spring up where enough PII is available from hacks, and for-sale datasets to craft very persuasive, targeted phishing attacks at scale.
Seems fairly lightweight to me as well, but I think that is the point - this is a teaser for content the author intends to expand upon in later posts. So as just an intro, it seems fine. I do hope if they continue to write up this content, they focus more on why this categorization matters and what benefit it offers an organization to conceptualize their teams in one of these ways.
Absolutely agree. As most projects are small or medium in size, PostgreSQL is a good default choice. Problems arise when the problem does not fit the solution or tool. For example, using SQLite for high-volume transactions and then complaining that it doesn't work.
I disagree with the author. I have a Comma 3x and use a fork of openpilot.

It's comparable to tesla but not as good overall. It 100% reduces my cognitive load and definitely reduces fatigue. There is no question.

> Under the reporter’s privilege, a plaintiff in a defamation suit should first prove that what a journalist reported was false, defamatory and based upon unreliable sources before documents are turned over to anyone.

Unfortunately, this allows media to presume guilt and smear the subject while requiring extensive legal cost, pain and suffering, and often little to no recourse, even in court.

I’m not sure about the details of this case, but I have a close family member who the media decided to publish false allegations as fact. The scope of the allegations is large (related to billions of dollars of public money), but they were a salaried employee making less than a new grad at a tech company.

Following the stories, which are picked up and reported by other news outlets, social media runs with it and dumps even more accusations that have no basis in reality.

The end result was they were effectively fired, have to “prove” their innocence in the public square when all information to do so is private and confidential or held by those who made the accusations, and now have to go through life with the burden of extensive local coverage of actions of a false narrative. While they retained legal counsel, the cost and time to correct the record is likely out of their reach.

This has made me extremely skeptical of news outlets and what agendas might be pushing the stories they are publishing. It may not even be the reporters fault- they are given a juicy document dump that doesn’t tell the entire story and then they infer the worst about the subject. Once that’s done there is seemingly little a normal person can do to fight back.

“so high that they pose a risk of the consumer developing acute poisoning”

That seems odd. I would expect it to be potentially dangerous from extreme irritation, but I wouldn't think that was "poisoning". An amount required to be "poison" would be inedible.

Perhaps he's speaking loosely, or the definition of "poison" used by regulators is different from what I expected.

Once you add sensors you can't promise buyers that their car with less sensors will be just as self driving as the car with more sensors. So adding sensors is a big deal for Tesla, because they are in the market of selling a promise of self driving.

> An executive from Clarin, an Argentine media group, told a Huawei event in May that his firm was replacing expensive Oracle database software with Gauss, Huawei’s offering.

This seems like an odd development. I can well understand why an organisation would want to drop Oracle RDBMS, but why move to another proprietary solution? The obvious replacement for Oracle's database is Postgres, no?

Is Huawei getting into the business of customizing their software to fit organisational processes then charging through the nose for that work?
One point not covered but clearly understood tacitly by the author is that the representativeness of a fact degrades over time. While it may be true that someone did something 10 years ago, that fact may not be a true reflection of their character today. Thus a statement may be technically true, but practically false, and thus should be considered defamatory (under the modern American definition).
There is still Comma 3X with openpilot. I use it and it's pretty good.

For the price it's very good.

Open source does not mean accepting everyone's work or even accepting contributions at all. From the article, it seemed like this was the major concern.

> This feels like a big missing piece at this stage of AIs evolution. I just searched on Amazon for five inch chair casters. They used to have them but don't anymore. But that took me a long time to find out. Instead it just dumped all of the chair casters and let me read the details to find out the hard way that none of them were what I wanted across 10 pages of results. But I've been spoiled by modern chatbots. I want it to read the product copy and figure it out, and just tell me "We don't have any of those. But here are some others you might like..."

Why would a company want to provide this? Modern-day Amazon doesn't win when you find out that what you want isn't there; they "win" when their search is so bad that you spend a long time browsing counterfeit or not-quite-there results that you might buy. The future of an Amazon-designed chatbot that I see would be for it to try actively to snowball me into buying an inappropriate product, not to help me quickly discover that what I want isn't there.

"Size" is not only a metric of physical dimension.

OP said "biggest", and meant "largest valuation". This happens to be incorrect -- nVidia was never the highest-valued public company -- but they were the second-largest, and came very close to first.

If you did not know what OP meant immediately from awareness of business news, you still should have considered "valuation" as one of the obvious possibilities. If you did not, then you might be lacking adequate context for this conversation, and might be better served by asking questions instead of demonstrating your confusion via misplaced pedantry.

SHA256 doesn't generate characters, it generates bytes that are usually rendered in hex form, which gives you the "first character".

There isn't a known way to calculate just the first bytes of a SHA256 hash faster. Each step in SHA256 depends on the value of the previous step, so you have to calculate the whole thing through. SHA256 is meant for cryptography and would be considered vulnerable to attacks if a shortcut were known.
I was thinking exactly this while reading the article. Open source goes further than external contributions.
Perhaps it’s theoretically possible. But honestly, it’s likely no one would.

Most people hacking into systems are doing so for financial gain or reputational gain. Neither exists here - there’s especially no positive reputation to be had in hacking something 46 years old that likely can’t be fixed again after you do.

There are plenty of vandals out there who don’t care about anything, but the probability one of them would have the skills and hardware necessary to do this is nil.

Honest question: if you expect people do read the link why make most of your comment quotes from it? The reason to do that is to give people enough context to be able to respond to you without having to read an entire essay first. If you want people to only be able to argue after reading the whole of the text, then unfortunately a forum with revolving front page posts based on temporary popularity is a bad place for long-form read-response discussions and you may want to adjust accordingly.

> I mean... does anyone think that an LLM-assisted program to trial and error cheesecake recipes to a panel of judges wouldn't result in the best cheesecake of all time..?

Yes, because different people like different cheesecakes. “The best cheesecake of all time” is ill-defined to begin with; it is extremely unlikely that 100 people will all agree that one cheesecake recipe is the best they’ve ever tasted. Some people like a softer cheesecake, some firmer, some more acidic, some creamier.

Setting that problem aside—assuming there exists an objective best cheesecake, which is of course an absurd assumption—the field of experimental design is about a century old and will do a better job than an LLM at honing in on that best cheesecake.

No, from a quick glance those are only for moves of individual values. Lifetimes are something different. They are used for relating multiple (> 1) parameters / return values with each other. There is no way to have that without having a syntax for it.

It's important to note that lifetimes are not just for the compiler. They are also documentation / API contracts:

fn add_to_vec<'a>(element: &'a str, vec: &mut Vec<&'a str>) { ... }

This documents that the vec passed into the function can't outlive the element that's passed in. That's because the string (a reference (pointer) to the string data) that's passed in gets stored in the vec. So freeing the string and then using the vec would result in a use after free.

You can't have this power without a syntax for it. You could of course do some global analysis, but now you can't have API contracts like this anymore, which are important for semantic versioning.

An alternative syntax a language could use would be to have arbitrary pre- and post-conditions that the compiler can verify, which would be a whole lot more powerful, but also a lot more wordy than the short lifetime "tags" that Rust uses.
