You can make some software which supports local processing and cloud processing.

That software then does not require servers to run on, since it supports local processing.

In this way it remains accessible in the future and scalable right now. (Assuming local processing would be slow enough to hurt the experience)

Honestly, I didn’t think this concept needed to be explained at this level either.
I'd say so. I take over 500GB of personal photos/videos per year, and I'm not a huge phone user.
The only thing AI needs to do to demonstrate its value is replacing jobs at scale. Until it happens, it’s all capex and opex bs and hobby projects.

FWIW, I wouldn't recommend Orico. I don't live in the US so my options are somewhat limited but I found a local retailer that carries Orico. I've had five of them in the past five years and four died within 12-18 months.

If it was just one, I'd put it down to random bad luck. But with that many failures I assume they are doing something stupid/cheap.

Usually they would simply fail to power on but sometimes individual slots seemed to die (which RAID just loooooves).

And having an entire enclosure fail and waiting days/weeks for a replacement sucks as you lose access to all your data.

I eventually bought a Jonsbo N3 off of Aliexpress and PCI SATA card (to support more than the 2-4 drives most motherboards support) and that has been working well for months.

> Just out of curiosity, what's the human lawyer baseline on that?

Largely depends on how much money the client has.
I don’t think anyone doubts that.

The question is when exactly do we get to human level intelligence on all tasks (agi)? Is it going to be GPT5? GPT6? Or has the performance improvements saturated already? It makes a huge difference in terms of your investment and even career decisions whether you expect it to happen next year or 10 years from now.
it's the self-driving car problem. Humans aren't perfect either but people like to ignore that.
The iPhone was not the first cell phone. Initial adoption of cell phones was much slower than ChatGPT. Think 1980’s/1990’s.

Even when cell phones started getting popular, often only one or two family members would get one. The transition time between “started becoming popular” and “everyone has one” was >5 years and even then it was relatively normal that people would just turn off their cell phone for a few days (to mixed reactions from friends and family).
What ever happened to Openflow? Wouldn't this be a perfect device for it? Setting up a lab for it was almost impossible thats why I lost interest.

>> Correct, but the thing is, AI blown up much faster than phones

>What do you base that on though? Two years into the iPhone, Apple reported a $6.75b revenue on iPhone related sales. ChatGPT may reach or surpass that this year considering they're currently at $3.4b.

But the iPhone was launched more than 10 years past mobile phones (in fact, more than 20, but that's stretching it). There were more than 1B mobile phones shipped in 2006, the year before the iPhone launched.
> Shockingly, the German publication says that its sources indicated OHB did not fully test the functionality and deployment of the satellite antennas on the ground. This could not be confirmed.

Wow.

> This setback comes as OHB is attempting to complete a deal to go private—the investment firm KKR is planning to acquire the German space company. OHB officials said they initiated the effort to go private late last year because public markets had "structurally undervalued" the company.

Seems about right. Usually companies become worse for their customers after acquisition but private equity.
Yes, and I think we're on the way to that happening in chunks of the economy, but it's not going to be overnight, there are still a number of improvements to make along the way. I am willing to bet my time working on it that we will be replacing many jobs in the next few years.
The standards are, as usual, "minimum" requirements; a standard USB port should be able to supply up to 500mA after enumeration and 100mA before, while a device should not draw more than those values respectively. However, since it costs literally nothing for manufacturers of hosts to allow more, they have gone up to several amps. The situation is trickier on the device side, since it does cost more to limit consumption (and it might not even be possible for some types of devices.)

I came across this interesting thread a while ago with lots of technical details (and the usual trolling and arguing), where it seems manufacturers never went below allowing 1A from PC USB ports:

> Yes, I think one way to not come off as entitled when being critical to volunteers is to also offer volunteer work yourself.

So what level of contribution is the bar here? I mean, what's the commit count? Do I have to be developing core features for years? Does writing docs count? Do I have to volunteer for a particular project before I can in any way criticize it, or is just any open source work okay?

> And it's most helpful to provide feedback directly to the developers through their preferred means of communication.

This is not feedback meant directly for the developer - it's valid questions that were meant to spark a discussion here on HN. Of course, with users like you around, that's difficult.

> However, this is irrelevant, too, unless you're bolstering your "valid concerns" argument.

It is relevant, because it's absurd to think that just any developer can just go and contribute to such a project.
If we stop electing so many far-right, burn-it-all-down, my-opponents-are-my-sworn enemy, conspiracy-prone politicians we might actually get useful legislation and could stop relying on the elderly and untouchable judicial branch.
That's... my point. You're agreeing with me.

Siri and Alexa are bad. Very, very bad.

They pretend to understand spoken English, but they don't, because they're just a huge set of hard-coded rules written out one-at-a-time by enormous numbers of very expensive developers.

This is the 1990s approach to AI: Fuzzy logic, heuristics, solvers, dynamic programming, etc...

That approach has been thoroughly blown out of the water by Transformers, which does all of that and much more with a thousand lines of code that can be banged out in a couple of hours by one guy while talking in a YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCc8FmEb1nY

Transformers will revolutionise this entire space, and more that don't even exist yet as a market.

Take for example humanoid robots: Boston Dynamics has had the hardware working well enough for a decade, but not the software. You can't walk up to one of their robots, point at something, and tell the robot to complete a task. It can't understand what it is seeing, and can't understand English instructions. Programming that in with traditional AI methods would take man-millenia of effort, and might never work well enough.

If we could speed up GPT-4o (the one with vision) to just 10x or 50x its current speed, with some light fine-tuning it could control a humanoid robot right now with a level of understanding comparable to C3P0 from Star Wars!
High in pectin. Soluble and insoluble fiber behave differently and I used to be able to explain it somewhat but my brain has been too full of other things lately and I don’t think I can do it justice.
Unfortunately, the general perception is that Python is easier to learn compare to Clojure.
> We can even measure productivity improvements from Slacks/Zooms auto-summary features.

While not code generation, this auto-summary is powered by the same tech. I think using it to sift through and surface relevant information, as opposed to generation of new things, will have the biggest impact.

By far the greatest value I get out of LLMs is asking them to help me understand code written by others. I feel like this is an under-appreciated use. How long has this feature been in Copilot? Since February or so? Are people using it? I do not use Copilot.
I ran one of their full sizes for years. The Topre is easily my favorite switch, but I got tired of the cost, the very limited board selection, the non-repairability, and the total lack of customization. I've got some nice boutique switches in this that are pretty light, like 40g, so it's pretty close to that feel.. I forget the exact switch offhand, but it was some limited run/special edition Kailh Box or something like that.

Exactly. I was looking at using a sat solver for a rules engine and couldn't make heads or tails how to use it.

Nice experiment, but they are still measuring neutrons, that are quite small. I don't understand why they try to sell this as a macroscopic experiment. Bell inecuality can be also measured at long distances, but it doesn't make it a macroscopic experiment.
Two of the key features that were part of of early git that show much git was about support Linux kernel development:

https://git-scm.com/docs/git-am

https://git-scm.com/docs/git-send-email

Git was built around supporting the linux kernel email lists. And while there are a number of other options out there that sprang up around the same time, many of them didn't fill the core need for git at that time - to reduce the stress / workload on Linus.

The alias is closer to:

alias wcurl = curl -# -O $1 --location --remote-name --remote-time --retry 10 --retry-max-time 10 --continue-at -"

the main reason I use wget is because it automatically retries downloads, which is vital for my not-so-great internet, and an option I wish was on in curl by default, as half the world uses curl, and then keep trying to automatically download 400MB files, which I have trouble finishing.

Then, if you look at the script, it's basically that, with some minor cleaning up and nicer error handling.
It’s like those USB battery packs that advertise “20k mAh”. They clearly do not understand SI prefixes.
I wonder how much of that is adaptive and how much selective. Does your body learn to absorb more, or do you have to have a high absorptivity to make it as a pro.
Non shielded RAM is subject to bit flipping. Non-ECC always carries this risk in general computing, but the problem is compounded when you run a filesystem like ZFS which uses memory as a significant storage element for write cache.

If it would hugely impact your life if a bit were flipped from a 0 to 1 in your stored data - say you make videos or store your bitcoin wallet key on your NAS - you are running a risk not using ECC.

You may not have had issues or ever have issues with non-ECC. Your car may never be stolen if you leave the keys in either, but it's not a good risk proposition for most people.

> They are more intelligent than the average person I deal with on a daily basis.

No they aren't. They are differently intelligent. Which includes being more "intelligent" in some ways, and vastly less in others.

It is an all too common mistake to infer an LLM's capability based on what it would mean if a human could produce the same output. But it's not the same thing at all. A human that could produce the quality of many LLM outputs I've seen would be a person with superintelligence (and supercreativity, for that matter). But a human who is constrained to only the output that an LLM is capable of would be an untrustworthy idiot.

What's interesting to me is looking at the human+LLM combos that have recently entered the world. (As in, everyone who is regularly using good quality LLMs.) What are they capable of? Hopefully they'll be at least as intelligent as a regular human, though some of the articles on people blindly accepting LLM hallucinations do make me wonder.
Yes. It comes with a lot of features overlapp with NextJS and there are plugins for the rest.
Except it isn’t that, necessarily, and all the things you are saying could just as easily be hyperbolic editorializing. Eerie is the exceptionally mellow thing to say.

For instance, they noted it had been happening since at least ‘08 in the area - but didn’t note that it had not been happening since before then. Which I suspect means they only had aerial footage since ‘08. Or they would have said it.

These kinds of things do actually happen naturally in some areas, and it could be a slight increase - or just something that happens every once in awhile in that specific river. No one actually knows, apparently, based on that article.

This is completely untrue. There is no way that you could make a BK clone by telneting to a BK and running commands. Those commands don't tell you the network protocol, they show you the results of that protocol but show zero insight into the protocol.

Tridge neglected to tell people that he was snooping the network while Linus was running BK commands when Linus was visiting in his house. THAT is how he did the clone.

The fact that you all believe Tridge is disappointing, you should be better than that.

The fact that Tridge lied is disappointing but I've learned that open source people are willing to ignore morals if it gets them what they want. I love open source, don't love the ethics. It's not just Tridge.
This is all well and good, but it's omitting the most important, top-secret inner workings of the FARCE.

More information (CNN updated the story):

> Wednesday’s order limits the preliminary injunction to just the plaintiff (Ryan LLC) and the plaintiffs-intervenors, which are the US Chamber of Commerce, the Business Roundtable, the Texas Association of Business and the Longview Chamber of Commerce. However, it doesn’t extend to the member companies of those groups. “[T]he Court declines to extend injunctive relief to members of Plaintiff-Intervenors,” the judge wrote.

> Even though the court indicates that it believes the FTC lacks the rulemaking authority to issue a noncompete ban, the judge declined to issue a nationwide ban for now, Coleman said.

There were also the audio CDs that had data on them. Audio CD players would just play the audio, but a CD-ROM could access both. Some had apps that were games that would play the audio portion for the game.

If you want to know about the different types of CDs, you'll want to know about the various colors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Books
How does this stack up against a Teensy? The rev 4 is ~$24, and the audio shield is ~14, so that clocks in at about 75% the price of the sonatino. Looks like the sonatino picks up more flash, wifi (at the cost of an antenna, though), ble. AFAICT the teensy is limited to 44.1/16 but can do up to 16 channels, but doesn't 'officially' support the adc for audio in. Looks like teensy ends up with another addon board for a PT8211 dac...

At this price point an arduino due seems like maybe a better comparison. The Due has 16 analog inputs, 2 DACs, bluetooth, but no wifi, no sd card, and no amplifier. And of course it's a much larger form factor.

Hm. It's a narrow niche - compact, battery, speaker amp, audio in/out, wireless - and you need to want at least half of those for this to really justify the price - but might be a good board when a pi is overkill. Even so, I just yesterday finished an esp8266 / max98357 build; yeah, wiring up the six pins on the max is not as convenient, but then again a d1 mini and the max are both less than $3 apiece, and $6 is a far cry from $50. (Note the max98357 is the same amplifier present on the sonatino).
Very few people are working on technologically hard or novel things. Those people have always had very special effects on society, and will continue to be special going forward - LLM's aren't going to prevent those people from delivering real value. HN has an absurdly rich concentration of these special people, which is why I like it. And many of them are surrounded by other similarly special people in real life. I only regularly talk with maybe 1-2 people in real life who are even close to that type of special. Even when I was a chemical/electrical/petroleum engineer working closely with other engineers - usually only 1-2 people at each workplace were doing really smart work.

That said, the majority of my friends are doing relatively manual work (technician, restaurants, event gigs, sex work) and are neither threatened by LLMs nor find much use for them.
When Sihanouk and the communists are in alliance in 1975, and the head of state is Sihanouk - everything is blamed on the "Khmer Rouge", whatever that means.

I think this is the right sentiment. I know a handful of AI startups that have raised 10's to 100's of millions. All of them were crushed with gpt-3 and subsequent models. None of them have any real revenue, have crazy burn rates with their compute spend, and generally haven't proven any value with their AI platforms. Most seem to be working on tech to find a problem rather than the inverse. Funds are throwing money on ideas.. that haven't panned out for years now. I worked with one and they were spending 10's of millions per researcher on AI compute... which makes sense if it's directed but most of the researchers were just running off on their own and the company hoped one would figure something out. Very disorganized for the stacks of cash being spent. Similar things have happened in the Cyber Security field just at a lesser scale.

But hey, Nvidia is investing in companies.. to spend money on Nvidia .. infinite money glitch!
