Simulation is fun and understandable by many more than a block of math. Specially if using a more complex problem where there might not be an analytical solution.
Probably, but neutrinos definitely pass through your house (and you).
The linked article doesn’t seem to say anything about growth in revenue numbers - but it does say overall revenue has dropped 50% since Musks takeover. The quarterly chart doesn’t look great either.

Further, the brand has been tainted and Threads was allowed to pop up. Now threads is around 1/4 to 1/3 the size of Twitter MAU. It may not have replaced Twitter, but the door has been opened and that seems like an unforced error.

This election season looks poised to further drive long term disengagement as the platform is going to be very toxic and very unmoderated.

Otoh, profit might actually be up - if revenues are down 50% but costs down 80%, it may make more money. I suspect, like other private equity investments, this will not work for too long. With how much Musk has put his personal brand onto the site, it may also be difficult to unload the pieces at a profit as per the normal PE playbook.
One of my favorite ideas in this space is Lotus Improv. It lets the user edit and view arbitrary "tensors" and not just 2d or 3d data. The UI/UX is fairly intuitive and I'm sad no one developed the idea further. It's formula system is also very interesting.

Here is a demonstration video I found about it

Show HN: I built an Multi-AI platform, like an AI version of Quora
Hello HN friends,

I'm Allan, the founder of Aiswers. We recently launched our website Aiswers.com, a revolutionary platform that brings together the collective intelligence of AI from around the world.

Our platform allow users to pose questions and receive responses from a vast array of AI models and agents. Whether a researcher seeking insights, a student looking for explanations, or simply someone curious about the world, our platform provides an opportunity to explore and learn from different AI. Also users can share their questions and the corresponding AI responses with the community. This feature allows users to view and engage with others’ queries, fostering a collaborative learning environment where knowledge is shared and wisdom is gained.

We are also planning to release our open platform so developers can link their AI models or agents directly to our website and showcase it's ability, Users are able to tap into the knowledge and expertise of various AI systems, each with their unique strengths and specializations.

Please have a try and any suggestion are welcomed.

Thank you and have a great day!

Allan Ren
Founder & CEO

Yes, only if you genuinely agree with the same argument about extroverts, i.e. force them to be in solitude for more than they feel comfortable.

I'm not talking about literally locking them up in jail, but let's say if your logic holds, we should be able to say COVID did extroverts a lot of good by making them appreciate solitude during the lockdown periods.
How does this compare with e.g. Tailscale?
Do we really need yet another VPN protocol?
Every day I get 5-10 new followers bot followers. I haven't gotten a real follower in months, I don't use the account that much.

Other than that, the fyp shows me a lot of right wing content (and particularly
Elon Musk posts) that I ignore, but they do show them.

Regularly as I'm scrolling down the page, it'll randomly refresh or insert/disappear posts that I'm viewing. Yeah, the site is functional, but it is not better than its ever been. Not by a mile.
Reality is nothing and everything at once
That's horrible! What can we do to defend ourselves against this constant neutrino bombardment?
There is a line between investing and gambling. Buying in NVDA after ChatGPT 3 is investing. Buying Intel now is IMO gambling.
I could imagine him having a variety of reasons, but in certain situations pretending it's only one of them, to apply pressure.

I don't have any special knowledge in this situation, I'm just drawing on my understanding of people.
Yeah, the death of comments sections really signified the end of Web 2.0 as something people eagerly believed in, rather than just a stagnant reality we're all trapped in. And they didn't die quietly - the real "Aslan slays the White Witch moment" happened when both major browsers removed the Dissenter extension, which allowed users to read and write comments on websites. These comments were shared among all users, and of course, sites couldn't censor them. Oh no! Luckily, now we're all safe from having the option to read uncensored comments, phew.

I don't endorse Dissenter, however, I do think it's death coincided with a vibe shift. Before that, there was kind of a left-libertarian vibe on the internet. Even banning obviously horrendous content would be met with hordes of "muh freeze peach" outrage from greasy web bois. It feels like the state and media managed to collaborate against big tech to reign them in as a competing power.

I say "feels like" because I have no idea what I'm talking about. Take everything I've said as seriously as you'd take "What if we are just really advanced NPCs and the whole universe is a video game for aliens" lol.

My point is, I miss comments sections (and I guess, that I project my nostalgia onto weakly evidenced conspiracy theories about the machinations of the state)
Wonderful idea. I'll need to give this a try.

Maybe those projects were used as-is by OpenAI, so there was nothing new to contribute.
If it is taken into consideration that a vast majority of gun deaths are suicides, that doesn't mean "the vast majority of gun deaths outside of <insert blue city>". Statistically the same proportion of gun deaths are suicides both in cities and out of cities.

We have 5 Chromecasts with Android Tv around the house, and we don't have any of the problems you describe - no 2-3 minute wake-up, it's pretty much instant on all of them. No ads, we use "apps only mode". The remote is just fine, your hands may be the problem. Media playback never crashes.

That said, I'm not paying $100 for the same experience I recently paid $30 for. I'm going to test on the Onn 4k streaming device for $20.
I have a bad feeling that this is just going to introduce more shovelware apps that try to shove AI use in without really understanding what they are going to get back.

Yay I can now ensure the json object will look how I want, but lets completely disregard any concern of wether or not the data returned is valuable.

I don't understand why we are already treating these systems as general purpose AI when they are not. (Ok I do understand it, but it is frustrating).

The example given of "look up all my orders in may of last year that were fulfilled but not delivered on time".

First I have found these models incredibly dumb when it comes to handling time. But even beyond that, if you really are going to do this. I really hope you double check the data before presenting the data you get back as true. Worse that is just double checking what it gives back to you is accurate, not checking that it isn't telling you about something.

Every time I try to experiment with supplying data and asking for data back, they fall flat on their face before we even get to the json being formatted properly. That was not the issue that needed to be solved yet when it still fundamentally messes up the data. Often just returning wrong information. Sometimes it will be right though, but that is the problem. It may luck out and be right enough times that you gain confidence in it and stop double checking what it is giving back to you.

I guarantee you someone is going to have a discussion about using this, feeding it data, and then storing the response in a database.
Community notes predate Musk. They're a lot more common now, but they're needed more than ever too. Meanwhile spam is everywhere (except in the "probable spam" section) and all ads are scams.
Backups are like prayers, only if you make backups you won't need prayers.
I don't have a SO account, so I'll post here. I'm having trouble finding the reference, but there's an IKEA in Sweden or Norway that is really far away from industrial pollution, and so gets basically no soot deposited on its perfectly white painted roof. Some intrepid amateur astronomer put 2 + 2 together and realized it's a perfect collection mechanism for space dust. They thoroughly cleaned the roof, then came back a week later and carefully collected the accumulated dust. Looking at it under a microscope confirmed minerals that only form in microgravity environments.
Yes. We’re having some issues with Adobe apps on some Macs. We hope to have a fix out for that soon!
Proton has multiple services, and the data retention of one service may have little to do with another. In particular, any data retention for their VPN service is going to be very different from say email for obvious reasons. Even for email, afaik, it was the recovery email address that gave access to the data in the account.

What's a better VPN service anyway? Mullvad? I see Proton's stealth feature as being valuable.

Disclaimer: I have no conflict of interest whatsoever with Proton other than being a free user.

A large part of it is the transition from small local businesses to faceless corporate chains.

I care if my local, family-run pharmacy gets robbed. If someone steals from some corporate behemoth, one that treats me like a criminal regardless of whether I steal from them or not, well, what do I care?
Depends on your standards I guess. You could cut it down to one person and have a website running. As it stands if you look at most people's profiles when logged out you see tweets starting a couple years ago other than the pinned tweet. I haven't used it much since a bit before Elon took over but generally as I understand it's more buggy and spammy than before. If that's good enough, I guess you could say it's still trucking.

Funny thing is that I took the opposite side of that bet. I figured Elon would slash things that people thought were important but actually weren't, and make it more efficient. It's mostly played out, except that the site is still rickety. But maybe from a business perspective that's not important, which is a shame for us.
I don't think it's been well enough acknowledged that all of the shortcuts LLMs have been taking with ways of attempting to compress/refine/index the attention mechanism seem to result in dumber models.

GPT 4 Turbo was more like GPT 3.9, and GPT 4o is more like GPT 3.7.
Agreed. To that end, I wonder what the current prevailing recommendation is for a top tier VPN? Or should we roll our own using a VPS and Wireguard?
What I found annoying is the output does not seem helpful at all. Even if you are tech savvy or an IT manager, does the memory dump information help you diagnose the problem? Did the Microsoft programmers at least benefit from it?
It's so wild that the bar for AI performance is both absurdly high and absurdly low at the same time. To specify an output format (language or grammar) for solving a computational problem is one of the oldest exercises around. On the one hand, it's breathtakingly mundane that the model can now do the most basic of tasks: conform to an output specification. It's weird reading the kind of self-congratulating blogpost about this, like OpenAI has just discovered flint knives. On the other hand, a computer system can process natural language with extremely ambiguous, open-ended problems, compute solutions to said problems, even correct its own mistakes--and then it can format the output correctly. And then on yet another hand, it only took about 10^25 floating point operations (yeah, just ten million trillion trillion, right!?) to get this outcome.
Scott Alexander's recent article, "Details That You Should Include In Your Article On How We Should Do Something About Mentally Ill Homeless People", strongly informs my reading of this new Freddie piece.

Ok, Freddie, let's increase involuntary commitments. Please address Scott Alexander's objections and be specific.
My major complaint is that they show the stack trace and memory address information first. 99% of users don't care about that. The instructions about options to proceed and their consequences are solid. They should just be put first.

In case you're looking, I have a friend with a set of special skills that can help with this. This friend is very discrete, and there will be nothing left that traces it back to you. It will look like natural causes. I think you can find an ad in the back of an issue of Solder of Fortune.

A VPN protocol won't really make a difference for that, usually online services detect VPNs based on IP addresses.
Who cares about the interface? Not everyone is interested in conversational tasks. Corporations in particular need LLMs to process their data. A restful API is more than enough.

Tell me you don't shop at Whole Foods without telling me you don't shop at Whole Foods.

Whole Foods is actually cheaper than many (most?) grocery stores for staple items. Sure, the grass fed organic beef is expensive, but stuff like rice, pasta, ketchup, snacks, hell even a lot of produce, is way cheaper than other grocery stores. At least in an urban environment like NYC.
Anyone else catch this reference in one of the examples?

I picked up the Google TV 4K and generally like the experience, but in 2024 the performance feels really sluggish. I was considering getting an Apple TV as a result, but maybe this new "streamer" device will be competitive.
US law generally requires either 60 days notice of a mass layoff or 60 days pay in lieu of advance notice.

So 2 months pay for an immediate termination isn't generous, it's legally required.

However, the additional severance 1x week pay/year is generous in comparison to other companies conducting layoffs of this size.

Good job releasing your project! It's a cool idea and surprisingly minimalist. That said, I've found a number of cryptographic flaws in the application source. This should not be used in instances where the encryption is mission-critical.

1) You generate a random key [0] and then feed it into PBKDF2 [1] to generate a 32-byte AES-GCM key. If you can generate 32 random bytes instead of 10 reduced-ASCII characters and a key stretch, just do that. PBKDF2 is for turning a password into a key, and it's far from the recommended algorithm nowadays; prefer scrypt if you need to do this sort of thing.

2) AES-GCM with random 12-byte nonces. Never use random IVs with GCM; this breaks the authentication [2] [3]. Given the pitfalls of AES-GCM with respect to random nonces, you might prefer switching to XSalsa20+Poly1305. The advantage of XSalsa is it has an extended nonce length, so you can use random nonces without fear.

3) Random key derivation with a restricted character set can make brute force attacks easier. You should have a 256-bit random key, and if you want that key to be within a certain character set, then encode the byte output from the CSPRNG using that character set.

4) 1fps achieves symmetric key distribution via a URL with a fragment identifier ("#") which IIRC is not sent to the server. Therefore it assumes you have a secure key distribution channel - the link contains the key, so it's important that only the intended recipient can view the part after the "#". If the server is truly malicious, it can deploy client-side Javascript to send the fragment to the server, allowing the server to access the key (and thus cleartext communication).

Just another day: some megacorporation trying to use scary lawyer letters to take down a parody site, banking on some member of the public not having the legal knowledge to know they're full of shit.

Also, complete 100% bullshit on it being unintentional. I'd imagine some executive in their organization found that and had a right tizzy about it. It's exactly the sort of completely meaningless deck-chair rearranging that the C-suites LOVE to send urgent-marked emails about, speaking from both anecdote and personal experience.
Unfortunately it's not gonna work. The GFW periodically disturbs/resets any persistent or large-enough traffic to IPs outside of China and bans them. That's why even if you have the best obfuscation protocol (like setting up your own server outside with truly indistinguishable traffic like a normal HTTPS), you still cannot have stable connections with large traffic. The current reliable ways of evading GFW are using IPs inside China via non-GFW controlled IEPL connections. These are loopholes deliberately left by GFW in order for certain legit use cases to bypass them (like research / big international corps etc.)
Nature made some choices about my chronic conditions, so I depend on access to healthcare. Healthcare is tied to my job (I live in the USA). Should I cut back on my life expectancy?

The problem is that it sounds good to talk about "allocating resources" and "communication" and making the system more resiliant. But even identifying places where heroism is being applied is extremely difficult except for the hero. Most importantly, the people who need to know that herois is keeping things alive will often be completely unaware that there is even a problem.

In the end the only way to do this is to allow the system to fail. If you find yourself in a position of being a hero, you have to notice it and do something about it. You could do a big writeup of how to fix the system to remove the requirement for heroism, etc., but as an SRE you don't always have insight into how important the particular issue is, so you could be wasting a bunch of time on something completely unnecessary (or that is not worth your time or the time to fix it).
On the contrary, instrumental concert music was a relatively new phenomenon and many people considered it inferior to vocal music or even called it empty noise. The idea that Classical symphonies or sonatas were the popular music of that era is completely wrong. See https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrumentalmusik (sorry, German only).

The quits rate in May 2024 is 2.1%. If we assume quits are uniformly distributed, then the probability of staying in one job for greater than 5 years is 28.0%. That means 5 years is above-average tenure, but nowhere near enough to justify a statement like "Who stays at a company for five-plus years?". Not everyone is a serial job hopper that changes jobs every year.

that's what I thought as well, but then I read this part:

This part does not seem to support that use case, you don't need 30 FPS pointer tracking for text chat.. Moreover, it'd be actively bad, as the cursor is likely to be pointing to the text chat window.
