In a political discussion people are forced to give an answer each time and yet the discussion does not converge to utter nonsense, provided that both participants are intelligent. For the younger people here who have only watched recent political discussions, search on YouTube for discussions before 2000, preferably before 1980.

Same for a scientific discussion.

By the way, Bing Copilot absolutely aborts conversations it does not like. LLMs could also change the subject, like humans do if they detect repetition.
Ah yes, got my P plates mixed up. Thanks.
You mean "Rail baron Mick Lynch" - the dailymail would have you believe he spends most of his time on luxury yachts.
Nope. The whisper network is going overdrive on speculation, but that is to be expected. I kinda trust that the writer themselves did not know this was being done, that it was organised by their publisher.
> This happens because when the user agent navigates to a URL, it prefers text/html over other formats, so it's possible to distinguish it from an <img> fetch. This is a feature

Is it though? What non user-hostile things does it enable?
Not necessarily? This depends on how the system is set up.

For example, cars could share the positions of pedestrians and bikes with each other to ensure that even cars with no direct line of sight are aware of them, making the roads safer for everyone.

Likewise, if traffic lights are integrated into the system, the waiting times could be much shorter as cars can dynamically slow down to allow pedestrians to cross, wihtout being contrained by fixed time blocks of green/red.
Very cheap human labor in Africa:

Another hidden aspect of the current LLM landscape.
Why, could integrate the beacons into signal pedestrian crossings forcing the cars to stop (whereas currently an absent minded driver might go through it), also doesn't stop development of other safety systems like object detection.

They can’t. They are under political pressure from Congress.

Which, in part, is a good thing because it makes NASA into a technology development government agency that creates jobs in sometimes unlikely places and trains people on skills that are very valuable in other fields.
One thing I love about russian music videos is that while explicit acknowledgement (breaking the cave wall?) of the Nachahmung eines Scheinbildes is rare, and (pace The Muppet Show) considered "artsy"*, in the Old Country:

The irony of this happening on an article talking about bad design...
As an American there are few times when I think the government did something awesome.

But I’m amazed they are thinking of this. This so awesome.

Plus the FAA will need to do this as we get more electric personal aircraft
This won't work if implemented browser-wide as malicious website will just adjust the URLs for their images to compensate. In general, URL file extension snooping only causes more problems than it solves.
Here's a 16-bit bit-serial computer I made and tested on an FGPA https://github.com/howerj/bit-serial. If you look at `bit.c` it looks like an ordinary 16-bit Accumulator based Virtual Machine with a few odd instructions that make more sense when you know how a bit serial CPU works, nothing special about it. However the VHDL in `bit.vhd` shows how all those instructions are processed in a bit serial fashion, how data is fetched and stored in shift registers, etcetera.

The bit serial CPU in `bit.vhd` is actually customizable, you can make a 32-bit, a 14-bit, or a 27-bit CPU if you want from that VHDL quite easily.
If I Did It ... would be Wile E. Coyote style. Half saw the keel off and let a storm, major or minor finish off the job.
You asked for examples, and I gave you examples. I didn't claim AI revolution was around the corner, I just said I used them in these small ways that clearly will have big impacts in their respective areas.

My experience is in no way unique, and yes, I think it's just laziness or ignorance to think otherwise. Or in your case, a kind of zealous hostility as a reaction against hype.

I remind you that my initial comment said that yes, there are some aspects of AI that are definitely over-hyped, but that I have used the tools in ways that obviously seem to have huge economic impacts.

P.S. - if you were more familiar with AI image makers, you'd know that it's not difficult to make images that are indistinguishable from non-AI ones. But that's really not relevant here, because my point was that this new tool enabled me to create something that didn't exist before – not what your personal qualms were about AI images.
Yep!

“ It's clear you've never built or been involved with building systems that are classified as "Safety of Life Critical System".”

That couldn’t be farther from the truth. I have worked on safety critical aircraft systems for the past 10 years. We incrementally have built MVPs and have been very successful. I won’t say which but it’s one of the most successful aircraft projects in development today.
I would reject the implicit materialistic worldview, but anyone is free to have their own opinions of course.

Aside from that, if a human creates a new work that builds on other people's work, it must have sufficient creativity and magnitude to qualify as new IP.

A human also does not connect to the Internet and distributes the IP that they have read to millions of users for subscription fee.
In fairness, i can see how stuff like http://phrack.org/issues/7/6.html#article might fit that description.

Early internet seems like a much less sanitized place.
Someone while designing for the mobile, forgot about desktops.

```
:root {
font-size: calc(1vw + 1vh + .5vmin);
}

html {
max-width: 100%;
}

body {
color: #444;
font-family: "Vollkorn", georgia, serif;
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 100%;
}
```

They can remove the width on the HTML and replace the body's `max-width: 100%` with something like;

```
width: 100%;
max-width: 1200px;
```
"pretty meaningless" is a strong take.
Getting into manual machining is another good one. If you go into it with even a hint of a "move fast and break stuff" mentality you'll find yourself mostly just breaking a lot of stuff. It's good practice for being deliberate in your actions.
Can you link this idle observation directly to the operation of LLMs or is this more anthropomorphizing boosterism?
Humans tokenize numbers too. Which is easier to read? 100000000 or 100,000,000? You only need tokens for 000 to 999
it's also worth noting here that a big benefit of supabase-js is that you can use it from the browser (assuming you have sufficient RLS policies). PostgREST is hosted on the same server as Postgres, so essentially you remove an entire network hop.
Unless someone, for instance from remote, crack some cars to send false signals, let's say a police mandating stop when an armored bank van pass by, signaling to also open doors meanwhile another armored semi-autonomous car from a very active activist suddenly accelerate crashing onto an elementary school group on a trip stating was the activist driving, and the smart-blood test state he/she is on drugs and alcohol while he/she was effectively not and wasn't driving at all or controls was not operational being by wires... etc etc etc...

You can't design the world as anyone is a good actor. Most are indeed good actors, but most and all are different quantities.

TL;DR - non standard proprietary software based solution.

While USB-C is also complicated. If you get basic USB 3.1 or later compliant cable and devices you have basic docking Mac/PC/Android you name it.

The exact opposite of another “standard” that won’t “just work.
Maybe he can't tell that they're AI, and thought that the images were real? Fairly bizzare.
Surely the only way you overcome this is to write a system which can actually generate something new, rather than regurgitate an incredibly complicated statistical reworking of things it got trained on.

I did note how the author said that training models on other models doesn't have the ethical implications of training on stolen human data - except it does, because where did the first model get its training set from? This is why we make it illegal not just to steal but also to handle stolen goods.
I wonder from all the people commenting here how much they relied on Source Graph, and how many actually paid for it. Running an open-source company is hard, just like running any company is. Sometimes you understand there are things you just can't give out for free, and that's part of maturing as a company.
Computer sciences:

- pure maths: algorithms

- physics and chemistry: how to build physically from "scratch" a computer.

Namely, without a strong scientific background, you just are a script kiddy until you decide to go thru years of really tough learning. Why do you think high school kids can code assembly which gets the job done?

What we call "tech", is just "usage implementation", but there you get full frontal with the worst the human kind can deliver in falsehood, toxic excess, etc.

So when you come from the "clean and pure" (well, you have smart and evil people)... computer sciences field, hitting this toxic diarrhea, this "usage implementation", because you need to have the job done, ooooof!

My copium: stay as close to the bare metal as possible using a near-0 SDK and aim for the very long run, but you will have to fight complexity where it does not belong, like the javascripted web, many file file formats (for instance runtime ELF), and for that, better get your lawyer ready and start to enlighten your administration for regulations, because you will have to deal with the (big) tech mob.
This has implications beyond just the current presidential race.

Can Taylor Swift sue for libel in this case for example? Or can Donald just keep lying without any repercussions forever?
I had some success making lenticular sheets using a 3d printer by printing a single-walled cylinder using a clear PETG, cutting it up and flattening it out using a heat gun. You can use the layer height to control "LPI". One problem is that it's double-sided, which reduces the quality quite a bit.
AFAIK, not yet
Hey, funny coincidence, I just started on Ancillary Justice a few days ago.
I'd just never come across it before.

Funny how tech can be like that. Something is widely understood in some circles for some time periods and is completely new outside that. I used to be a lot more involved in Web UX stuff but I've been doing other things for a few years and it seems like there was a collective change in terminology!
It's important to say that data cannot be decrypted by the relay
I wouldn't call crawling public data stealing. LLMs are just lazy and bad like the people who implemented them.

Loading proprietary binaries at runtime is still GPL-compliant.
Yes. It should still be faster than a (fanless) RP4 even when thermal throttling without a fan.
> Only you can know what you desire, what drives you

I think a) what I desire is pretty exchangeable and not fixed at all and b) it might be the other way around: I desire what I pay attention to.

Of course, my desires are in a certain area. I might think I really want to learn kite-boarding, but riding a bicycle is nice too. Or just walking. And when I walk, the desire to really learn kite-surfing goes down.

I might desire a nice meal, but if I wait a bit, the baguette with cheese from the bakery sounds good too.
In the human space there is also 'model collapse' as demonstrated by group-think, or the dark arts of marketing/PR to sway opinion in the large.

This is why the scientific method was developed.

If you want an AI that truly learns then it has to get up of the sofa, and test the ideas in the real world, rather than learning to parrot hearsay.
There won't be any. If you want to do that kind of stuff you'll take a wheelchair to the nearest "activity centre" where you'll be able to move your appendages around to simulate some kind of neolithic locomotion. It will be considered quite a niche pastime, though, as you can just take pills to remain happy and in shape.
The trouble with "people who listened to X also listened to Y" is it can't ever recommend music that nobody has listened to yet, and is unlikely to recommend anything that doesn't have a reasonable quantity of listeners already, hence likely some level of promotion behind it.
>just create another Google account in a fake name.

You seriously think that the company that knows more about you than most intelligence agencies can't tell if you're hoodwinking them?
Ignorance is not a “dick move”, it’s having something to learn.

The extreme sleep deprivation doesn’t really conflict with the author’s point that better UI could have avoided this. Better sleep could have too.
I didn't read it necessarily like that. It can also mean that even with fully rested sailors, the same confusion can still happen again, because the interface is inherently confusing.

In a sudden life-and-death situation combined with information overload, a bad interface can be what tips the scale into disaster.
> 1. Stop comparing digital products (data) to physical products (food).

That's not a fallacy. Perhaps the way they are compared is wrong, but they can be compared. If you want an example: e-books vs books, mp3s vs cds, Netflix vs DVDs, online banking vs your local branch office.

> 2. Don't use the word "take", nothing is taken, only copied.

You do take it, except when you intend take to mean "remove from a place." You can take a nap, you can take a breath, etc.

> 3. ... This is a pretty big assumption

Copyright owners do have the right to restrict access, legally and morally, although the latter is IMO, of course.
Ask HN: How to get a direct link from Google search result?
I am not sure how long is this malfeature with us, but I have noticed the following sequence:

1. Search anything on google (I use FF on PC).

2. Make sure the status line shows a direct link if to hover the needed result with the cursor.

3. Make a right click to call the menu which allows to copy the link.

4. Observe that the link has changed from result.com/result.html to google.com/url?key=value&...

What is the most proper way to overcome this enshittification? I have found that clicking the kebab menu near the needed ling may result into receiving the link but this method requires me to deposit some brain area to google's temporary quirk. So I would like to have more advanced methods like a browser extension for auto-copying the correct link from the status line buffer or some on-demand DOM freeser because actually google is not the only webpage who uses to do this kind of messing with my copied content.
They should be falling in price and gaining in capabilities. The "price" is the supply chain and transaction cost. With that structure in place, we should always be able to buy "the 40$" RPi that is what ever is great right now.
This post is more about syncing between local and remote dev environments than about monorepos.
That’s what I thought. Which means most of his supporters also have no idea they’re fake.
Presumably, if you’re writing a Spine runtime, it’s because you’d like to integrate it into one of your own projects in an environment that they don’t officially support. I’m not sure why you’d take on that “work” if you didn’t already have a license.
My actual commercial, real car, have some ADAS, some times every let's say 1000km driven it decide I'm nearly crushing on someone else triggering not needed "phantom" breaks, while I might have some other cars/bike nearby my rear bumper, normally with automatic braking on parking it does not sense the void so if I trust the system and go back without looking I might and up downhill...

Aside the car is so safe and well done in software terms I often have my car's companion app to open, activate/deactivate A/C etc connect to another car in another country for unknown reasons and I potentially can control some function of that car, while I imaging someone else could control mine...

Do you really want to trust these systems? Do you really want to trust instructions from another peer automatically without any means of human correction? Let's image a trigger to stop an armored bank van somewhere for a robbery...
One of my dev machines for Android dev is a MacBook Air 2017 (8 GB RAM).

People flooding the 'net with LLM-generated crap are both eating their seed corn and poisoning the well.

Steel manufactured before 1944[0] can be incredibly valuable[1] because it hasn't been tainted by the nuclear tests/bombs fallout, and maybe fairly soon any archive internet material written pre-2010 will be considered equally valuable.

The universe might not be enacting retribution, but it seems very suspicious timing that both defendants died so soon after winning the case.

Downloaded both Lite XL and Pragtical and have to say that Lite XL looked ok on open, while Pragtical looked super tiny and all the UI was out of alignment.
Orange PI Zero 3 is my choice. £30 on Ali express for the 2GB model with case and fan. I got one last week.

Only issue is, the distro they promote is a bit dodgy.
The Propeller 2 sits nicely between the two. I use it for autopilot things. The only bad thing is that it doesn't have integrated wifi, so it wants an esp8266 or similar to talk to.
The best way is to use Kagi.

Paste (pay) and pray does not sound too good on the other hand.
The Parallax Propeller 2. It's pretty easy to code for, has plenty of horsepower, and it's very robust electrically. I use it as standard for most of my autonomous stuff.

Not to forget, the same problem has happened before with aircraft pilots.

Someone doesn't notice that the the wrong engines are running, or someone forgot to power down one of the engines.

Or there was an engine failure. And in the confusion, someone powers down the wrong engines.

Usually in these cases, fatigue or information overload is a major factor.

The pilots were fully qualified. They were simply overworked, and too tired to realize their mistake.

I wouldn't assign all the blame to lack of training. The navy is very famously overworked and understaffed, and not just in the USA.
Things can change? The newer standards improve upon the errors of the old ones and presumably make the old ones deprecated
Yup. For me the cutoff date is 2010 when it comes to "is there any chance to enjoy it".

Certainly true but I think he is saying that the author should have indicated his limited knowledge of the context of the collision early on in the article.

You are both right and wrong. A competent crew wouldn't have failed.

But given the operating conditions (lack of sleep) and recruiting (lack of personnel) a competent crew couldn't be assembled on the McCain.

The crew did their best under the conditions, and failed.

People are late, because they know that everyone will wait for them.
Waiting for others is a sign that it's okay to be late.

When a meeting starts at 10:30, and some people come at 10:30, there is
often a social pressure to show some courtesy and wait for the rest. But
who shows the courtesy for people who actually came on time? These
people follow the rules and are being _punished_ for it.

People should just start the meeting when it's scheduled. Start it at
10:30. If there's nobody on the meeting, I would start it regardless,
how stupid this might sound.
Before paying up, keep in mind the bait-and-switch played on people with version one. Anyone without a Steam account is stuck with an old version when it required a Steam account after launch.

When it comes to getting a neutral response, the advice risks falling into the middle ground fallacy, where people might mistakenly believe that the truth always lies between two opposing arguments. Most people, myself included, don’t have the expertise to fully grasp complex issues, and there's no shame in that—we can’t expect everyone to be well-versed in every subject. This can make it tough to determine which side is more credible, leading to confusion or a false sense that both sides are equally valid, even when they’re not.
Training is good, but it's not like design (I mean in how it should be used, not looks) is something which should be ignored. If you have a bad design, you need an awful lot of training to compensate for that.

The incident report almost didn't mention design at all, so what are the chances of the problems ever getting addressed?
