You could always two time it. Earn enough money to do physics. Then do enough physics while living on ramen to extend the runway. Repeat it till goal is achieved. Quantum Silicon Valley.
That's not how cardinality is measured. The very first class on an introduction to set theory course will teach you that bijections are used to measure the size of a set.

Consider the tan function. When you give it a number between 0 and pi/2, it gives you a number between 0 and infinity, and it does so in a bijective way. Therefore there are equal numbers between 0 and pi/2 as compared to 0 to infinity. Now consider a simple linear function that multiplies its input by pi/2. From here we know that there are equal numbers between 0 and 1 as compared to 0 and pi/2.
> Meta is the only company releasing true open source

What? There are so many open source projects from huge companies these days.

VSCode, .NET, typescript from MS

Angular, flutter, kubernetes, go, android, chromium from Google

Come on man, if it wasn't Apple it would be some other manufacturer that would produce a dominant PDA+phone device using ARM CPUs.

Feature phones were already outpacing PC growth by then and Intel decided to snub the market. Canceling XScale was a truly stupid decision.
open source is so ambiguous its a useless expression at this stage. At least FOSS is less problematic.
I also had an ipaq ~2003. It didn't have enough storage to be a reasonable music or movie player for commutes and (mine anyways) only had wifi via a honking PCMCIA adapter that drained the battery in no time, so I otherwise browsed the web with a laptop. No websites were anywhere near designed for small screens in those days, either.

You're right that the OS was garbage, further limiting the already limited hardware. I think I also got linux or BSD running and messed around with some WEP cracking in my neighbourhood for a bit, but then it otherwise sat in a drawer.

I was still in school and it was a stupid and expensive purchase, but it did teach me to only get new tech if it was actually useful and otherwise wait, which as served me well since, including the iphone (which the first one was barely adequate for what it promised).
I didn't claim that it was generated by AI.
Giving only certain parts of your architecture access to certain capabilities is far from a niche use case

What is the "normal" best practice here then? I would just spin up multiple single-node k3s VM clusters and hook the AI k3s VM to the VPN and the others not.
I have been told by people working in $200k+/$300k+ SWE jobs to look up at the answers and just be able to regurgitate something along the lines of the Grind 75 answers as a first step.

As a next step - even within these 75 questions, Grind 75's eighth answer and fourteenth answer are answered essentially the same way, as are other questions in there. So the next step would be to see these patterns (binary search, priority queues, sliding window, backtracking) and how to answer them, and then be able to solve them in slightly novel problems (in the more complex questions I understand one might run into more than one of these patterns).
Truecolor finally being released is big
What Can You Learn from the Fastest Code in the World?
C-f moves forward a character which is also useful. The easiest to type character that had the least impact I could find was to remap to C-j. Works well in both Dvorak and Qwerty layouts and that's the one emacs shortcut I use so infrequently that I can live with having to type it twice.

I like your prototype, and people are already giving fantastic hints to make this even better; information about the geographic location of the offer would be my priority (EU).

This is particularly useful from an environmental point of view - all these machines can serve a good purpose for decades to come. Mini PCs use less energy, and every used machine re-used means one PC less built, saving minerals and energy.

I recently installed a DELL Micro-PC, which I intended as an X11-Terminal.
It turns out that it's also a fine machine for most local work like editing and email (except machine learning and heavy development work), so more beefy machines can stay off.
The Internet has long existed in a state of tension over where value gets created, how it is consumed, and who pays for it. This had evolved into an uneasy truce of ad-supported big sites, making the web almost (but not quite) unusable for most people except a few adblocking freeloaders who get the good experience.

AI just blows all that up by providing a general-purpose plagiarism engine. It offers a substitute for any content, with a similar-looking but inauthentic version. People might accept not paywalling in order to reach human users, but nobody wants to be fodder for the plagiarism bot.

In some ways this is the "Can Googlebot scrape your content and display it on the home page but without generating any ad views for you?" debate we've seen with news publishers before.
And we are still at the beginning of this. Some what like where Google search was in early 2000s.

As IDE integration grows and there are more and better models, that can do this better than ever. We will unlock all sort of productivity benefits.

There is still skepticism about making these work at scale, with regards to both electricity and compute requirement for the larger audience. But if they can get this to work, we might see a new era tech boom way bigger than we have seen anything before.
Paragraph ~6/7

In a June 2021 interview with Fox Business, Trump falsely claimed that he “won the election,” that Democrats “cheated,” and that “Facebook and [CEO Mark] Zuckerberg, with the $500 million worth of phony lockboxes that he put on, some of them had 96 percent Biden votes in them — 96 percent!”

The claim was bogus then, and it’s bogus today — but almost four years after the fact Trump is still using it to sow doubt about the 2020 election.
A lot of these things are pretty great for general use, home server, game emulation and htpc duties. From the N100 at the relatively inexpensive, to the Ryzen 8000 series at the mid-range with top tier cpu capabilities and decent igpu to the relatively high end monsters.

Except for gaming duties, if someone wants a desktop experience, monitor, kb, mouse then mini pcs are awesome.
The llama models use a non open source license [0].

Yes it is still better than not being able to access the weights at all, but calling these weights open source is not correct.

Additionally, the ones, whose ad-induced distraction would most benefit society, will not see these ads as they will likely not take the subway.
> No, the reason robots and software have no inherent rights is because the law says so.

This is based in a limited theory of rights being delivered by a state as sovereign rather than inherent to every being. There are other valid ways of interpreting rights beyond "because the law say so."

Users should only need to care about what happens in user space. And the most important promise of Linux is "don't break user space". The kernel's programming language is literally just an internal implementation detail, irrelevant for Linux users.
erm its is still way more open than "openAI" or Anthropic...
It functions like a lightweight version of minicom (which is a terminal program), which when connected to the console port of many network appliance hardware devices (like switches, routers, access points, etc) allows local access to the device (much like having a monitor/keyboard/mouse connected to a computer) without having to rely on a network connection.
It's not just ad revenue though. Others put out content for exposure or as a way to connect with people or a larger community. Having that content laundered through an LLM removes those benefits.

If AI ever becomes a major way to search for businesses it will quickly become pay to play. Letting an AI company scrape your website won't get you much at that point beyond the ability to pay for traffic.
That's because all who gets hired at these hyper-fast startups are fresh graduates who can do leetcode by heart.

The people who have been in the field for a decade or more can't be arsed putting up with all that and so you get stupid issues which were solved years ago but the devs were not aware of them.
How this affects their journalistic integrity was oddly not covered in the articles from their various publications that I’ve seen.

To your point about siloed information, we also see this with Reddit and Google, since they have an exclusivity agreement.
I think we're talking about your personal take after reading of the post? Maybe.

I specifically mention bugs and glitches, unintended consequences, happy accidents (unintended things that become intended by virtue of them being kept rather than discarded), unequal weight given to decisions, and more. Of course I don't use your exact wording, but it's all there. I try to keep it neutral, rather positive vs negative outcomes, just "decisions".
Anyone know how to get to post on slashdot, seems they are exclusive to users?
I ask because I attempted to create a slashdot account and it says to email them why you are requesting an account, did that to no response, any similar experience over there?
Yeah, having run some state of the art obfuscated code through ChatGPT, it still fails miserably. Even what was state of the art 20 years ago it can't make heads or tails of.
I hadn't heard of Mitosis, that's super interesting. Thanks for sharing!
This a hard stance if you talk just about the code (not the model weights). The llama community licence is a bit weird and probably not an OSI compliant licence, but close. Regarding weights this is different, but to me it is actually difficult to understand still now to aplly copyright law here. Having said that one nicht und erstand why certain stupid looking clauses went into the code licence. If we do not understand copyright of model weights and do not have court rulings in the use oft training data und er different copyright regimes (US and EU), I would not care too much. We are still in the Wild West.
Elaborate. As of yet you’ve said nothing to refute the idea that forcing people who aren’t working to start working would result in more work being completed.
> The model has an EULA, you need to apply for downloading it

I am confused - I grabbed Ollama and pulled down some of these models. I don't recall having to go through any legal agreements. I just type:

ollama pull llama3.1

Maybe I missed something and am actually 10 steps behind. Who knows anymore. This whole space is totally insane to me.
But what's it based on?
I like the max integer example because it’s clearly a CRDT and also not particularly useful on its own. I get the impression that people think CRDTs are some sort of magical thing that gives you bug-free sync, but it’s pretty easy to explain why naively using a single max integer to implement a distributed counter would be buggy. CRDTs are just tools, and like any tool they can be misused!

One advantage of knowing screen, it's likely already installed on whatever remote machine you're connecting to.
Perhaps we need to try the Tokyo model, with multiple competing subway/rail companies.

But unfortunately most cities are nowhere near the size and prosperity of Tokyo.
if something requires an EULA it isn’t open at all, it is just publicly available. By your logic, public services are “open source.” There are myriad corporations that release actual open source software that is truly free to use. If you experience massive success with anything regarding Meta’s LLMs, they’re going to take a cut according to their EULA.

I believe there will continue to be a market for people building websites. Storefronts, landing pages, personal pages, blogs. I don’t see these going away.

The feedback I keep seeing on hn and elsewhere is a mix of ease/ownership/flexibility but still abstraction of coding and hosting that most people might not want to do. It’s a super broad space and lots of people want different things in a solution.

Advice: go after a narrow niche since the space is crowded, competitive, and arguably commoditized.

Here’s an example I saw launch recently and thought “that’s an interesting niche”

I agree, it is fun!

LLM source recovery from binaries is thing. The amazing part is that they are pretty good at adding back meaningful variable names to the generated source code.
Could you provide a link for downloading the complete and exact training software for the latest models?

You need to provide an email address and click a license agreement. Then you get a download link that expires after a day. I do not have to do this with the Linux kernel. Perhaps you are downloading from within Meta and are not exposed to these issues?
If labor costs keep going up, it seems like the right path for the industry is to simplify installation more so it becomes more DIY. More plug-and-play. Less skilled carpenters and electricians.
There is a very important and often forgotten caveat to the Bell's inequalities: it covers local hidden states. If we are to assume that measurement and particle creation apparatuses are entangled with each other (after all, they had plenty of opportunities since the big bang), then we have a global hidden state and the quantum measurment randomness becomes a simple artifact of removing global state from the picture. This interpretation of QM is usually called "superdeterminism" and, personally, I like it much more than the black vodoo measurement magic with collapsing wave functions or creation of whole new worlds on each tiny measurement. This video can be a good introduction to this topic: https://youtube.com/watch?v=dEaecUuEqfc (don't mind the clickbaity title, the video itself is good)

That’s literally the first time you made that argument, so obviously I didn’t counter it.

And again, nobody is willing to fund it at the current price. It’s simple economics that if the price were to be lower, the willingness to buy it would go up. I don’t need to explain this to you.
Depends on what "a little NAS" means to you, and what interfaces you need. But in general, most any PC made in the last 20 years would work for as simple and small storage server.
Not good enough to be considered open source.
nope. I am self-hosting. support is pretty good actually. llama.cpp supports it (v1.6 too; and in openai API server as well). ollama supports it. open-web-ui chat too.

Fintech outfit Klarna swaps humans for AI by not replacing departing workers
It's a shame that people need to use this template to design these sorts of eBay search sites though. Seems like it'd be easy enough for eBay to create a tabular view where one could choose fields applicable to their search - the same table that works for mini PCs could work for smartphones or comic books or collectable coins or whatever.

I suspect that doing so wouldn't be great for eBay's business though - the table is sortable, but eBay wants to sell promoted listings that are at the top of pages. And less dense search result views with big photos probably entice people to buy "shiny" things rather than specs.
Ask HN: Have you made the switch to an AI code editor?
I've been seeing news about all these AI co-pilots/code generators and I'm wondering if anyone has actually made a full time switch for >1 month.

Extensions like Coedium and co-pilot are fairly easy to install and use but I've been hearing about Zed and Cursor a lot. Is anyone actually using these products or is it just more hype.
I have the suspicion that there are several very simple experiments we have yet to think up that would give incredible revelations with the inner workings quantum mechanics.

I have a mental model for entanglement that's probably very wrong, and I would love to devise a proper test to falsify it.
Without commenting on whether it's a good feature or not, this morning I had the pop-up ad for this new feature displayed in my Fastmail web page. However, it was positioned on the screen so that the "Got It" link at the bottom was obscured, and the pop-up captured all clicks. I could move the mouse all over the place, things highlighted and unhighlighted, but the only thing actually clickable (Got It) was off the screen. And the ad said something about paying my utility bill online, which I don't have setup, so I thought I had some kind of virus locking up my email account.

I really didn't appreciate this at all, and that's being diplomatic about it.
Hinton claims they do reason. I am going to go with Hinton on this.
I would advice to use tmux. It's not worth it to keep fighting with that issue.

Take this from someone that used GNU Screen from ca 2002-2024. Yep, I just recently switched, because of truecolor and because of the issue you mention.

Of course GNU Screen is in my heart. Where it stays.
That's an interesting finding so far!

> The provided code is quite complex, but I'll break it down into a more understandable format, explaining its different parts and their functionalities.

Reading the above statement generated by ChatGPT, I asked myself: Will we live to the day where these LLMs could take a large binary executable as input, read it, analyze it, understand it, then reply with the above statement?

> I followed up asking to "implement equivalent code in TypeScript and make it human readable" and got the following response.. To my surprise, the response is not only good enough, but it is also very readable.

What if this day came and we can ask these LLMs to rewrite the binary code in [almost] any programming language we want? This would be exciting, yet scary to just think about!

This is a good—albeit shameless—business model. They could probably do the same thing in San Francisco’s MUNI stations.
“Hallucinate” connotes consciousness and self to me. Bullshit does not. Markov chain text generators bullshit, they don’t hallucinate. I’m not aware of anything in LLM tech that warrants implying any sort of awareness, understanding, or consciousness. Not even close.
IEEE 754-1985 had a nextAfter function (which C implemented them as nextafter and nexttoward), but that was removed in IEEE 754-2008 in favor of nextUp and nextDown, which C implemented as nextup and nextdown, but only as of C23, which still hasn't officially been published by ISO.

There's also another wrinkle: next* functions go from -subnormal to -0 to subnormal, and don't give you an iteration for both -0 and +0, which can be useful for some iteration purposes.
The goal is basically repeating what Google did with XMPP/Jabber: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-netwo...
What kind of question does it ask the LLM? Giving it a whole function and asking "What should we rename <variable 1>?" repeatedly until everything has been renamed?

Asking it to do it on the whole thing, then parsing the output and checking that the AST still matches?

If you were going to sell a kit, having 48 sets of 3d printed mirror mounts of the right length for each position wouldn't be out of the question. Just a screw-on clip with the right length standoff for each mirror corner would be all you'd need. You could conceivably have different sets with different focal lengths.

I don't think it would be too fiddly done that way but it might take some work to make fine adjustments straightforward.
>I'm having a hard time getting past the assumption in the article that energy use is tied directly to GDP per capita

Why? They are correlated and so are reasonable metric to gauge progress when starting from a subsistence economy (as all economies in the world began). At some point, this may be less true when you hit a energy generation ceiling and you start 'optimizing' and trying to do more with the same amount .. but again, we're not there yet so it's a good metric today, and especially for developing economies.

Put another way, you show me GDP per capita or per capita Energy use and I can get a reasonable ballpark for the other as well as a measure for the wealth of that nation.

> willingness to buy it would go up

You are basing things on economics 101 models, demand curves max out. People don’t drink infinite water when it gets cheap enough. I don’t think streets need to be cleaned as much as they are, and that’s not based on how much it costs to clean them.
> Information is going to start being silo'd

There is an argument for banning (or limiting the term of) exclusive licensing arrangements for purposes of training an LLM. Nobody is forced to do business with anyone. But OpenAI or Facebook shouldn't be able to force a publisher to only do business with them, thereby closing the market to new entrants.
It's useful to know who owns a company or know a company's financial state for anyone who wants to do business with that company.

It adds a level of transparency that makes it easier if you're at the beginning of a relationship with a company (i.e. there may not be a large amount of trust at the start of the relationship; knowing who owns a company and its financial state can be good signals).
