Sure, everyone got their loot on. But each of its parts came from somewhere, and the dynamic of dumping so much money towards PPP "loans" feels right in line with the past decades of Republican upper class welfare. To me it was those PPP "loans" that kicked off the price inflation for manufactured capital goods (if you didn't have something to take section 179 accelerated depreciation on, then your forgiven PPP loan would have been taxable income).

Being fiscally conservative in a way that gets no play in the mainstream political discourse, and given how much the current narrative is hanging the now-apparent price inflation on the current administration (including how the incompetent Democratic party is just going along with it!), I'd say it's worth coining a term that points to when that monetary inflation actually occurred. Despite what those benefiting from all of the monetary creation would have you believe, these effects have causes!

Apart from CARES there was also interest rates. I had been cautiously optimistic that Trump was actually going to buck the trend there and continue pulling up from ZIRP (hence the hate from the MSM). But nope, as soon as that line started to go down, it was printing press time. Rates are not under the control of the President directly, but there is obviously significant influence.

There's also the issue of anti-leadership paralyzing society (thus the economy) much more than it had to be. A little positive leadership would have given Trump a shoe-in second term from the war/crisis time boost, but the dude only knew how to continue with the spiteful divisive poor-me whinging from the campaign.

(Related to this subject, I'll give positive credit for the steel tariffs as something that needed to be done. It was yet another spike in prices, but that was really only revealing what ZIRP had already hollowed out)
Yes I intend on getting smart lights. They’re expensive but I’m sure they’re worth it.

The same is true regarding humans though, so "use a magic ai to avoid bias from humans" still doesn't make any sense.
This is just another webapp, please God please can we go back to making true desktop/native apps again. We have these powerful machines that are under utilized for what they are.
Personally I loathe it. I have a client that insists I communicate with them using their channel. The UI is overwhelming and finding past references or info is not nearly as easy as it should be. I have no idea why some projects use it as their primary community platform (looking at you Svelte). Slack is not much better in many regards.
I did the same thing for a while, and found it weirdly hard to replace with electricity. Most options are too bright, almost none are incandescent.

If I try it again I’ll have to build my own battery powered lanterns with ultra-low-wattage incandescent bulbs (don’t want the spiky spectrum of LED for this purpose) to get them dim enough and in a useful form factor.

I could read and get around just fine by two beeswax candles (and after getting used to that, full room lighting seemed insane, it’s so bright) but most things you can buy are at least 5x that bright. Even most plug in night lights are brighter than two beeswax tapers.
I did 1k (0.1 percent) then figured I'd done my job. No scripts, just human labor/algorithm.

Could I boost it to 2-5x time with a simple JS script? Sure. However I figured rate limits were in place/that wasn't the spirit of...whatever this is.

I was literally about to type in my credit card number after seeing the new code editor window UX, but for the life of me I had no idea what I was paying for.

Anthropic needs to figure out what the hell they are selling.
No, it is not, and it has never been OK for as long as C has been standardized by ANSI or ISO.

C89 says that "The value of a pointer that refers to freed space is indeterminate." and that behavior is undefined "upon use ... of indeterminately-valued objects", hence a compiled program can e.g. behave as if `new_pointer == old_pointer` even though the object was relocated in memory.
The first thing I built with OpenAI a few years ago was a system that had a section for a program spec on one part of the screen and a live web page area on the other part. You could edit the spec and it would then regenerate the web page.
It would probably work much better now.
Eventually I might add something like that as a plugin in my current framework.
Read this book few years back, that dreams are a way of different regions of the brain to defend territory. So the neurons in the visual processing region stop receiving input signal when one sleeps. Those neurons can then be used by neighboring regions for whatever. To prevent that takeover pseudo signals are created to keep them busy. Can't remember the name of the book, but it was a pretty cool theory.

OP here, IMO the most feasible implementation of a tax-to-disposal scheme is probably universal plastic deposits. Deposits have historically proven to be a highly effective and efficient policy, one that Keep America Beautiful (the original polluter greenwashing[0] group!) naturally fiercely opposes.

Even if they only kept up with inflation, bottle deposits would be at least 25¢ today. The federal government should treat the microplastic tsunami like it did the hazard of drunk driving: tie federal highway funding to states adoption of universal plastic deposit laws.

Just my 50¢

I pay for both OpenAI and Anthropic pro plans, and can say OpenAI is lagging behind at this point. Hopefully their next model steps it up.
It's weird how many people misunderstands the intent behind anti-trust laws. In a nutshell, it's about abusing a dominant position in one market (which is ok) to enter and conquer another market by undercutting competition by providing your product in the new market with the existing dominant product at basically no cost to consumer (there are a lot more nuances).

Having non-interoperable features (like charging ports or iMessage green bubbles) has nothing to do with it, and those are ok (at least for anti-trust laws).
But how does that help with compliance? You can still very easily identify the data right?
It's trivial in C/C++ due to GCC being a first-class citizen in Linux, but idk how it's done for interpreted languages, Java, etc. If anyone can chime in I'm curious.

In C or C++, you just run 'ulimit -c unlimited' in your shell before running your program. When it crashes, a GDB-friendly core dump is generated. Then you can load it in gdb ('gdb myexecutable mycoredump'), and it takes you to the exact line where it crashed, including showing you the stack trace, letting you view local variables at every frame of the stack, etc. Every C++ IDE supports loading a core file, so it's literally an interactive debugger at the time you most need it. It's a life-saver.

Keep in mind you have to compile with debug symbols enabled to be able to make sense of the coredump. However, you can then strip your binary, as long as you keep an unstripped copy around to help you with debugging.

I don't need an AI to write code for me, but it is _astoundingly_ helpful to have it summarize various design options and new technology stacks without me having to scavenge Google for the obscure corner-cases I care about.

I have an idea for a project that involves streaming 3 giabits of data per second from a USB 3.0 device out over a 10 gig Ethernet connection, and it was able to compare/contrast various levels of support for high-bandwidth USB 3 and Ethernet in multiple frameworks and languages.

And the whole conversation, with code examples, cost me 3 _cents_ of Anthropic credits.

My new fear is when people start asking AIs "Hey AI, here is my codebase, my org chart, and commit histories for all my employees - how can I reduce the number of humans I need to employ to get this project done?"

> Mozilla.ai is not a serious organization. It seems to be just another “AI” clown car.

If this is true, then I’m a court jester, because none of my projects started as serious work by a serious organization. And ML wasn’t lame until everyone started taking it so seriously.

The key with ML is to have fun. Even the most serious researcher has this motivation, even if they won’t admit it. If you could somehow scan their brain and look, you’d see that all the layers of seriousness are built around the core drive to have fun. Winning a dota 2 tournament was serious work, but I’ll wager any sum of money they picked dota because it seemed like a fun challenge.

If the author is looking for a serious AI organization, they should start one. Otherwise they’re not really qualified to say whether the work is bad. I have no opinion on Mozilla’s project here, but at a glance it looks well-presented with an interesting hypothesis. All of my work started with those same objectives, and it’s mistaken to discourage it.

The more people doing ML, the better. It’s not up to us to say what someone should or shouldn’t work on. It’s their own damn decision, and people can decide for themselves whether the work is worth supporting. Personally, I think summarizing a corporation’s knowledge is one of the more interesting unsolved problems, and this seems like a step towards it. Any step towards an interesting objective is de facto good.

Bias has become such an overrated concern. Yes, it matters. No, it’s not the number one most important problem to solve. I say this as someone raising a daughter. The key is to make interesting things while giving some thought ahead of time on how to make it more inclusive. Then pay close attention when you discover that some group of users doesn’t like it, and why. Then think of ways to fix it, and decide whether the cost is low enough.

There is always a cost. Choosing to focus on bias means that you’re not focusing on building new things. It’s a cost I try not to shy away from. But the author seems to feel that it’s the single most important priority, rather than, say, getting a useful summary of 16,ooo words. I think I’ll agree to disagree.

It’s really cool and I wish I had one of these machines. On the assumption that I couldn’t afford such a machine myself for DIY, it would be really cool to have a send-cut-send like service. It seems like the relatively gentle process and I assume predictable results with minimal post processing would lend itself to an high degree of automation. Perhaps a scale out manufacturing set up where the speed of an individual machine is less important than the throughput of having many machines.

There are a lot of little random things that I would design if I knew there was a capability to have it made at non-aerospace prices. Initially heatsinks, manifolds, heat exchangers, but possibly many random things depending on the pricing.

"Could not demonstrate with 15 years to gather that data and present it" is a bit more than "Possibly"
me: "is 400000 the same as 4 * 100 * 100"

gpt-4o: "Yes, 400,000 is the same as 4 X 100 × 1000."

gpt-4:

Yes, 400,000 is the same as 4 X 100 × 100.
Here's the breakdown:
4 × 100 = 400
400 × 100 = 40,000
Oops, it looks like there was an error in my previous calculation.
So, 4 × 100 X 100 actually equals 40,000, not 400,000. To make it 400,000,
you would need to use 4 × 10 x 10,000 or adjust the numbers similarly.

claude-3.5:

No, 400000 is not the same as 4 * 100 * 100.
Let's break it down:
4 * 100 * 100 = 4 * 10000 = 40000
400000 is ten times larger than 40000.

Everyone keeps saying gpt-4o beats benchmarks and stuff, but this is consistently my experience with it. The benchmarks fall far off my every day experience.

This is entirely dependent on how people value free time vs money. The average person in the developed world would probably take the free time over more money. People already hate working 40 hours.
> I am yet to see a clear articulation of 1. What those critical interests are

The critical interest of the US is in avoiding direct war of the US with Russia when it invades Poland or Estonia. Russia _will_ invade a NATO country if it conquers Ukraine, and the US will be obliged to defend it. So if the voluntary support of Ukraine allows to avoid that scenario today, it obviously is critically interesting.

> Why they are worth pursuing at the risk of a/ destruction of European economies b/ alienating China,

Because it is much better to risk the destruction of European economy (btw, how exactly?) or alienate China than risk sleepwalking into a potentially civilization-ending NATO-Russia war.

Sellers don’t control when a sale will happen in the ways buyers do. Once you decide to buy you can — assuming the item is already for sale.

That already for sale part is the difference. Sales have lead times. Even at fire sale prices the decision to sell precedes someone buying. It takes time for the right person to find your item.

Pricing and advertising and marketing can help. But they don’t force the timing of a sale.
Much safer than existing powder-based systems. The feedstock is effectively water based so none of the flammability risks of metal powder. No special gases required, no high powered lasers or thermal processing sytems.

That being said it still is an industrial process and requires responsible handling of the feedstock and equipment to ensure safety to personnel and the environment.

The incredible ability of Claude 3.5 Sonnet to create coherent SVG makes me wonder if the LLM was not just pretrained on text. Vision capabilities are usually added later using a vision encoder that does not affect the LLM's knowledge of the visual world, but in this case the LLM clearly has quite a strong understanding of the visual world.

(Obviously, if your model has massive consequences (e.g. deciding whether to deny coverage, or grant a loan) then you should spend proportionally more time thinking of whether your model is covering all of the blind spots that you naturally have. But the vast majority of models don’t matter that much. And that’s an important philosophy to preserve. Imagine if someone felt that every line of code you ever write needs to be perfect on the first try. Imagine trying to get anything done.)

Surely this was heavily inspired by Runescape? The click to move (including cursor animation on click), camera angles and graphics, chat text colour and position etc. all give me huge Runescape (Old School Runescape) vibes.

> That was not my direct quote, so you can dismount your high horse now.

You apparently can't follow a chain of comments in a thread nor understand what is written down. My comment pointing out yours is here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40784174

> And it's telling that responding to the question of why an OS should do these things, you finding a definition of an OS and asserting (falsely, I might add) that transparent distributed systems and only those meet that definition.

Again, you have not read/understood what has been written down nor the sources to which i linked to elaborate my points. And also i never said "that transparent distributed systems and only those meet that definition".
In my comment here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40766810 i explicitly say "an OS is supposed to do viz. provide a uniform interface and transparent access to various Compute, Storage and Network resources wherever they might be." and then link to the distributed OS Wikipedia page for further details. If you had cared to even read that page you would have understood the key "Design Considerations" (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_operating_system#D...) driving the approach. It is the "User Experience" that makes a distributed OS approach so compelling; though its realization can be more complex/difficult compared to other approaches w.r.t. certain parameters eg. Scaling.

To summarize, i would advise you to read up on Distributed OS research before making silly blanket claims which can be easily disproved. Just because today the Cloud model has established itself as the industry standard doesn't mean that is the correct approach. You have to know both sides before you can argue for/against.
