Very cool work. Note that this was completed using a vanilla ChatGPT-4o model, all the magic dust is prompting, the dataflow between stages (info gathering, self-reflection, task inference, skill curation, action planning), and some tooling like added object detection / bounding boxes / icon detection.

Also, neither here nor there but I enjoyed the discussion in the paper about how the model had a surprisingly low performance on sending an email in Outlook because while it well-understood the task and how to send an email, Outlook's UI still managed to confuse it - can relate.

Yes, I’m aware. But that can’t be what most of the population in Iran thinks, since some of the Persians I know in the US support a full scale war and regime change in Iran, while acknowledging that hundreds of thousands of their country people would die as a result and chance of success is near zero. More disturbingly they also seem to suggest that people outside Tehran and other large cities should have no say in how Iran is run, and when I say there’s no way they’ll allow that, there’s a blank stare. Also BBC is not a reliable source for information about either country. It’s quite literally government affiliated media.

Most linked financial news is auto-generated and auto-correlated. Lots of "why did.." when nobody knows, and frankly there often is no why. Perhaps that was the day a retirement fund shifted money, who knows.

While this price movement is very well correlated, perhaps causal even, but marketwatch (and all similar bottom feeders that are just trying to make ad revenue), it's a case of a broken clock being right. Those financial news sites which link recent news to stocks, eg Yahoo, benzings, - those recent news headlines are just the same as ad tech now. It is noise.
the cycle has an inside and an outside, so only half of it is reachable. you could draw it with fat lines to remove the ambiguity. as you showed in your image though, you can get to most of the accessible parts only after you've escaped the maze. to make it a proper maze with one entrance and one exit you'd want to use the interior of the cycle as the maze and cut entrance and exit points, maybe the exit being at the farthest flood fill distance from the entrance.

Oodle, a very optimized texture compression library used by Unreal, noted some problems months ago.

It is a bit odd that after months of this being well-known problem Intel still hasn't released a root cause. Is it an instruction sequence? Is their code subtly wrong in a way that works sometimes on these chips but always on other chips? Are some processors defective?
They've acknowledged the issue for a long time it seems.

Yes, I am absolutely annoyed that Firefox defaults to searching with Google, and much more so that it defaults to sending text from the search+URL bar before executing the search. Though I suppose on the basis that Mozilla does need to fund Firefox development, I would be more willing to give them a tiny bit of slack if Hugging Face or whoever is paying to be the default AI.

In other words, that seems to refer to giving the model prior info (a bias) about physical laws that generated the data. What I'm talking about is more abstract: using physics-y type math ideas to understand the internal behavior of the networks. Here are a couple examples:

The human body doesn’t have a static number of “things.” Cells divide and die. Microorganisms come and go with each breath. How do you define “thing?” Do we have a finite number of thoughts at any time? A finite number of sensations? Of gut bacteria?

The universe presumably contains a finite number of stars, but knowing that doesn’t get us closer to counting them, much less describing their interactions.
Supersonic has also been dead because passenger supersonic flight is banned over the continental US (and probably similar restrictions exist in Europe).

> What part of this exactly do you think is not possible with a standard firefox extension?

I don't know, because I don't know exactly what that functionality does. My comment was really more general: since the plugin system changed, there are quite a lot of things that are no longer possible or are no longer possible in a non-clunky way.

My assumption is that if it could have been done as an extension, it would have been. That the reason they build all these things into the mainline browser is because it's not possible to do them (or do them well enough) as extensions.

> firefox has a history of creating new APIs to allow extensions to do things that they want done

Kinda, but that's a very high friction path that can't be relied on. If the extension system doesn't currently have functionality that is needed to accomplish a thing, there's no point in starting to develop the thing until that functionality is added. That functionality won't be added unless there is a great deal of demand for it to begin with. That leads to a chicken-and-egg situation where there can't be provable demand without an implementation showing people want it, but you can't have an implementation without proving demand enough that Mozilla will bother to support it.
That's because they have the backing of the agricultural industrial complex. They need to do something with all that corn. Same thing with high fructose corn syrup
I think most people are a little bit tired of hearing that things that are manifestly possible, are instead impossible. If we'd take the time to recognise that the truth is somewhere in the middle (lots of tasks can be done, lots of them cannot), the conversation could at the very least be interesting.

As it stands every publication on this subject is filled with a lot of people that feel they need a polarised stance or they'll immediately be shot: Either they say LLMs are fundamentally broken and can't do shit (this is ridiculous) or they say that LLMs are self-aware and we should give them every single task ever (also ridiculous). It is really tedious to read the same dumb shit every single time.

The WT9011 should be able to send sufficient data. Practical in that it has iOS SDK, so very familiar territory for the author.

Working on ideas is a creative endeavor so this prompts the implicit 'what is your personality type?'

There are imo two general paths: opportunistic (in a positive sense), and inspirational. The former maps to 'resourceful' mindsets, the latter to 'creative'. Since you are asking this question, the assumption is that you are not a naturally creative type, so work on the opportunistic angle.
Wow, I would not make a public statement like this without narrowing down the issue and making a replication case.

Given what little insight they have now, the crash-triggering fault could just as likely be in the peculiarities of their own code, some flaw in their build toolchain, some flaw in a runtime library, etc

With all respect to the folks at this studio, this statement reads like a junior dev throwing up their arms and blaming others over a bug they can't wrap their head around.

Even if they have a hunch that it's a CPU bug and can't afford to prove it, a more professional approach would be to perform the hardware change to AMD and toss out a more curious and less authoritative statement -- "Anybody else seeing more crashes on these processors? Have you figured out what from?" vs "These are broken and should be recalled".

I mean I just skimmed through the thread you replied in and I don't see anyone making any of the arguments you're arguing against.

No one is claiming that beef and tofu are identical in flavour or whatever. No one (as far as I can tell) is particularly shaming people for eating meat. I see people mostly making pretty sensible and measured arguments.

Your comment is just arguing against a couple of strawmen you've cooked up. You aren't really engaging in the debate you're replying to.
Grainy 60fps is better experience than choppy FHD, to both play and to deliver to consumers. Right now, GPU performance on lower end phones is a problem that both differentiates high end ARM chips from the rest, and is also harming app growths.

60fps on non-SD8 SoCs is going to sell more Play Store cards, and also co-incidentally more ARM licenses. Maybe it could also preemptively save Google Tensor before its public reputation points run out. Game players also gets better experience, but that's maybe entirely coincidental.
I pull music from a wide array of sources (Bandcamp, yt-dlp, etc.), drop each album or release in its own folder in ~/Music, run beets on those files to clean the metadata and consolidate into V0 MP3, then rsync the beets library over to a VPS running Navidrome.

Took a fair bit of scripting and config to get beets working as desired, but the process is pretty close to perfect, and scales well into the terabyte range.
It’s the same codebase that was my point. Whether it’s still called Windows NT or whether that name died in the 90s can probably be argued either way.
The inspiration for Prismix came from observing a persistent problem in the social media landscape: the growing complexity and time-intensive nature of effective social media management.

As social media became increasingly crucial for businesses and individuals alike, we noticed many were struggling with:

1. Content creation fatigue
2. Difficulty maintaining consistency across multiple platforms
3. Challenges in understanding and adapting to rapidly changing algorithms and trends
4. Time constraints in managing social media alongside other responsibilities

We believed that everyone has something valuable to share, but the tools available weren't making it easy enough. Existing solutions often felt overly complex or didn't address the full spectrum of needs.

Our vision was to democratize social media management - to create a platform that's intuitive enough for individuals but powerful enough for businesses. We wanted to abstract away the complexities of algorithm changes, optimal posting times, and cross-platform consistency, allowing users to focus on what truly matters: their message and their audience.

Prismix aims to be more than just a tool; we're building an ecosystem that fosters creativity, encourages collaboration, and simplifies digital communication. Our goal is to reduce the stress associated with social media management, making it more enjoyable and accessible to everyone.

In essence, we're trying to solve the meta-problem of social media management itself, making it as frictionless as possible so that users can concentrate on creating impactful content and building meaningful connections.
You may want to take a look at some of the sleuthing Wendell over on Level1Techs did.

He was able to identify a large group of CPUs used in W680 chipset motherboards (i.e. using stock Intel power curves, never seeing a lick of overclocking/overvolting) which exhibited issues.

It would seem enthusiast ricing is, at best, an aggravating factor to some other underlying cause.
I did a very simpleminded form of this for testing the compiler in Steel Bank Common Lisp. The COMPILE function in SBCL should never signal an error condition, even on invalid code, so the test just involved splicing together fragments of code from existing Common Lisp code bases (packages in Quicklisp as well as other publicly available CL programs I could find) and trying to cause the compiler to error. It found a significant number of bugs.

This is a lot simpler that what these people were doing, as they wanted to produce code that was actually meaningful and could be run.

There was a period early in iOS's existence when people were willing to pay up-front for relatively inexpensive games that had none of the mobile nonsense typical today.

For example, Tiny Wings was the number one iOS game in 2011 and cost two bucks.

I think, even if you pass it over to a small claims process, setting timelines helps here.

For example, send a demand letter with a response time. Typical is to give a couple of weeks or some such.

Atomicless Per-Core Concurrency
I didn't read the whole article, but had something similar happen to me.

For about a decade, I maintained a list of farm shares in my region. I spent some time building out a custom web application which let folks slice and dice the data (type of farmshare, cost, pickup cities, etc) to help them find the right one.

It was a huge lift to get all the data updated every winter. After a year or three of trying to figure out how to do the update sustainably and failing, I decided to let it go. I put it in read-only mode for a year or two, put notices about stale content on the site, and then finally let the domain name expire.

A few months after I do that, I start to get emails from farmers wanting to update their listing. Which is weird, because I thought the site was gone?

Someone had bought the domain name, harvested all the content (I think from archive.is or similar), put it up on their own site, and were using it for link farming. They hadn't changed the email address or anything else and I don't think they updated the content. There was certainly no contact info for them on the site.

It pissed me off a bit, but I didn't figure there was anything I could do.

Just checked now and the site appears to be gone, so must not have been a moneymaker.
Yeah that's fair pushback. Maybe the video approach could be a secondary confirmation then? I imagine it's pretty easy to confirm in video that the cat isnt moving location-wise, and you can cross-reference that with rapid movement detection on some sort of gyroscope enabled device.
I have two approaches:

1. Random ideas that come from reading, browsing, coding - like https://eamag.me/2024/HackerNews-Prediction-Evaluator#why

2. Have some big goal in mind and think about missing things that have to be built to achieve it - like https://eamag.me/2024/Automated-Paper-Classification#motivat...

From the article: "How am I supposed to judge the correctness of an article if I can’t see the entire process?" If you can't, then don't. When software developers do code reviews, obscurity of the changes made is sufficient to deny a pull request from being merged.

If a peer reviewer can't follow a scientific paper then they shouldn't be rubber stamping it. I'd say it's the responsibility of the paper's authors to ensure it has enough information in it to determine its validity. Reviewers shouldn't be afraid to send back papers that don't.

I thought about this as well, after my first remark. I think this issue could be solved by building a secondary labyrinth of ventilation ducts to channel the fresh air into the dead ends, in a way that entices the Minotaur in very confusing ways. The ducts could even have baffles that open and close, just like real ventilation systems in houses with zone-control airflow.

The ventilation ducts could also work to confuse and terrify any humans who were sent into the labyrinth. They’d carry sounds allowing the human to hear the heavy breathing and bellowing of the Minotaur in ways that make it sound like he’s always just around the corner!

The auth alone makes it so much simpler. We initially were going to setup a self-hosted vault and setup all the auth to integrate into our EC2s and on a whim I spent a few hours setting it all up with AWS Secrets Manager with implicit auth through an IAM role attached to the EC2s and it was dead simple and done. Best part is, I don't have to care how AWS Secrets Manager is hosted and my services don't care how to authenticate against it, it's all implicit through a simple api.
> With most Work for Hire agreements in the US, the client owns the code..

I think you have this backwards. By default the creator owns the code. (unless you agree in writing otherwise) Some exceptions I am aware of (IANAL) is if you are an employee, then the employer owns the code by default.

Under the "work for hire" clause, I think (?) that if you are commissioned for the work as an individual, you should have the copyright by default but may not have the copyright based on agreements made. But if you are commissioned as a business entity, your business entity would own the copyright. (again, unless explicitly agreed otherwise)

If someone else can chime here, as I may be wrong on this.
