1. The friend I know with FSD has had it nearly kill him twice in the last year, but it does seem notably better, but in the sort of incremental way I'd expect. They keep it more as a novelty than a functional service.

2. If anything, GPT4 has turned out to be less of an advancement over 3.5 than either OpenAI was claiming and what I'd expected. 2 years ago, people were all but promising AGI by now. Even the folks I know working in the GenAI space are telling me they're using Copilot/ChatGPT less now than a year or so ago. My work has actively cut back on spending in the area and investors have been asking our board questions to make sure we're not overinvesting in it.

I want to be clear, I'm not a doomer at all about this. I use these tools a fair bit and find value in them. But the value that GPT3 and 3.5 brought to me versus what GPT 4 has brought certainly isn't 100x. GPT4 isn't even 100x better than me using Google Search most of the time.
Huh? It brings the sort of functionality that many computer users still use their PC's for over to Linux. You bring over the ability to have fun and spend leisure time on Linux, more people may make the jump in the future. This in turn puts pressure on software and hardware makers to support Linux.

At least this blatant Apple pandering article is better green washing than the “Mother Earth” marketing stunt.
No, I understood perfectly well that they were talking about coming up from a deep(ish) breath holding dive (snorkeling). But I learned this in the context of a SCUBA course, for which at least at that time the first half was snorkeling. I think that was to weed out people who weren't comfortable in the water. I realize I didn't make that clear when I wrote that.

It saved me a lot more. I was parked on my street and a garbage truck sideswiped the front driver side corner. The truck driver said it wasn't his fault and the car was parked too far from the curb but the videos showed what really happened.
Go right ahead. Thanks!
I don't think either of you come off either great or horribly here. That is kind of a rude action (esp I mean, were you just a lurker at this point?) but also he didn't handle it very tactfully.

But it does seem wild to bring it up as a top level comment on another forum now. What are you hoping for? People to not use the language? An apology?
> Not just the back alley

The idea is that we already are sure they attack there, and therefore limiting the experiment to this back alley may be sufficient: there is no immediate need to extend the perimeter to the whole zone around building, however if the experiment fails it may be considered.

> it's pretty well established

IMHO an experiment gets better with each neglected assumption.
Western family life is so depressing to read about. How do people live like this?
LLMs can't explain their past behavior because any time you ask them to, all they're really doing is reading the previous context from a previous inference and looking for any reason they can think of that they might have said that, so to speak.

That is, they have absolutely no genuine recollection of what they were thinking at the time they said something in the past. Even with "Tree of Thought" approaches all you're doing is recording past conversations, states, and contexts, and your new inference asking for the "justification" of that, will be a similarly totally fake justification, because as I said they have no memory but only context.

In my own app I can switch to a different LLM right in the middle of a conversation and the new LLM will just continue to always think it said everything in the prior context even though that's not the case.
. There is an unwritten social contract here

It's not a contract though, its a dictatorship (which they have the right to do) but it's been getting worse and worse for the consumer, and is just another loss leader until who have consumers trapped and then start charging, abusing, etc... I'm with you in spirit, but google is not a good participant in this agreement as of late.
The second stop is legally irrelevant—if your first stop is insufficient you've run the red as far as the camera is concerned.

The second stop may actually be illegal in its own right depending on the state.

You do not understand Brazilian rule of law at all. WE have a specific bill that regulate specifically the internet and social media. We have a penal code that assure that freedom of speech it's not absolute. You do not have the right to be racis (for instance if you wear a nazi flag or post nazi content you go to jail). In 2021 the supreme court established a dept exactly to study and create legal mechanisms to understand and protect disinformation (specially on electoral period): https://portal.stf.jus.br/desinformacao/ And also a vast jurisprudence on the subject on many instances of Brazilian Legal System: https://www.tjdft.jus.br/consultas/jurisprudencia/jurisprude...
We can consider any question and conclude that we don’t know the answer. LLMs can’t meaningfully do that. They just make stuff up.
When the government is us there can be disagreement about what thresholds of taxes and services are best for society. Thinking only individually misses the forest for the trees. Private industry's record is just as messy as that of government. Thankfully voting gives us a voice. Private corporations listen only to share holders. (Unless they have competitors which is increasingly rare.) Yet corporations also get to lobby with their deep pockets, and sometimes control communication mediums themselves.
This is a good question- I’m not sure why you’re down voted.
Alternatively formulated, this suggests that an entangled state, if weakly coupled to a bath at high temperature and allowed to thermalize, will become fully disentangled at a finite time. (p1)

hinting that something different is happening here (from the C&L model mentioned below.)

Indeed the CS guys are probably looking for a way to redefine entanglement (entropy, as you summarized above), to essentially “work” in the same way as what they have in their preprint, but also cover the prethermalized cases..
The wording is slightly imprecise (if they had said "accelerated subjugation of" it would have been perfectly accurate), and a bit jargon-y; but can't you just go with it?

The degree of indignation you're expressing here at this ancillary snippet (as opposed to the historical genocide itself, and the continuing injustices suffered by the survivors' descendants to this very day) seems to be in itself rather cringe.
I'm not sure what you intend for me to infer from this context-free link. It doesn't seem to include any examples of the government ordering Twitter to ban certain accounts, although it does have a few of the suggestions regarding content I mentioned.
This page is just a container for a youtube video. I suggest updating this HN link to point to the video directly, which contains the same links as the page in its description.
Nah. Or rather, I don't doubt that some billionaires do, but they're not the target audience. First, not many billionaires spend time on Reddit. Second, if you're Warren Buffett and have obscene net worth but minimal living expenses, there's really no point. It doesn't matter if you're spending .1% or .125%. If you do borrow against your assets, it's usually to invest, not pay the bills.

People preoccupied with strategies like that are the ones who are burning through their net worth at a much higher rate, so the difference in tax burden actually makes a difference. They're usually just wealthy enough to have a "wealth advisor". Doctors, successful techies, business owners, etc.
Don’t be hoodwinked by a plausibility engine. The central dogma of oracle-type LLMs is that plausibility converges towards accuracy as scale increases. This hypothesis remains very far from proven.
Maybe Twitter will become more popular and influential now that it's banned. It could be the place to find out what the government doesn't want you to know.
Is this... a service for spamming patent applications as fast as you can without paying lawyers as much as we used to? Can't see how that could exacerbate all of the deep problems with the patent system!
Until next-gen models show a drastic improvement in intelligence again. Then the hype will go through the roof once more.
Also in the US. My family's first PC was a Magnavox-branded 386SX. Weirdly overengineered (motherboard with a lot of SMD components, almost tool-free case, CPU on a card so it could be sold as a 286 or 386SX) but janky in other ways (1M RAM/40M disc)

In retrospect it sort of made sense: Philips was an electronics company making a nice piece of electronics, rather than a computer company that was chasing benchmarks and features.
I wish he'd just talk normal instead of inflecting his voice in that robotic way.

Not looking for anything. This post was titled “My first experience with the Gleam language”, I also think the language was pretty great but I am sharing my poor first experience with the language and the community. I don’t even fault the guy for not wanting to answer questions, but it was in the #off-topic channel and the response was just abrasive.
I hope people use the language, I think it has huge potential and honestly it looks beautiful. I thought sharing ‘my first experience’ was pretty on topic.

Sooner or later someone is bound to crack the code on plastic recycling — enzymes or gm bacteria or whatever, or even just throwing it all back down empty oil wells. I think separating all this crap in the meantime is perfectly cromulent.
"Bo hate" -- typo for "No hate"?
Not sure it is necessary as the captive crow may communicate it status (croaking "I'm trapped" or "I'm free") with this one, but it would be an insight.
I expect it's more like how people often inflect differently when reading from a script, or if they're self-conscious about public speaking in general.
Did your house witness a crime?

We already have cameras on many of our homes, so it should be roughly the same process.

Towing sounds ridiculous. No one should be penalized for a crime someone else did. But taking away one’s car is a major penalty.

There also won't be any discussion of replacing the C-suite with LLM assistants at a fraction of the cost - the compute cost must be less than all the 8-figure yearly payouts. Maybe LLM assitants would also be vastly more reliable managers of pension funds, too? I'd be surprised to hear a word mentioned about that.

Its not intelligence, is probabilistic prediction. Ie fancy autocomplete.
The 20 seconds first start is because it is only an x86_64 binary -- no native Arm build.
Lead dev behavior is highly relevant to programming language discussions because the lead dev has a massive role in shaping everything about the ecosystem. This is just one anecdote, but it suggests that the lead dev is still pretty young and immature and has a fairly fragile ego, which could have a major impact on the development of the ecosystem.

I'd definitely be interested in other people's experiences with them to see if there are contradictory anecdotes, but I don't see it as irrelevant to bring up here.

(All that said, I concur that OP could have likely behaved differently as well. But again: handling disruptive behavior effectively is part of the job of a BDFL/lead dev, and this incident was not handled well.)

At least in V8, wasm is handled by the same internals as javascript is. Its processed by the same optimization passes and turned into machine code by the same backend which generates the machine code for js.

While I'm not sure how much cross-language optimization is being done, it sounds like these all reduce to the same concepts in the end and I don't think the performance impact will be as large as you think.

Please stop. The moment you mentioned started mixing the Executive with the Judiciary ("has support of sitting president") it became clear you are not providing pure facts, but an opinion.

The way I see this: the Supreme Court asked X to remove content and accounts that main purpose were to promote hate and aggression towards the electoral system and institutions; X didn't comply; fines were issued; fines were never paid by X; the justice started using all available legal tools to fulfill the previous mandates (content removal and/or pecuniary penalties).
How you describe it is irrelevant, the results are what's relevant and LLMs have made it possible to significantly improve efficiency in a really broad range of tasks. And not just in BS tasks like blog spam copy, SEO sites, etc.

You can scrap copper for anywhere between $1-$3/lb depending on quantity, quality, and location. Copper is commonly recycled.

I don't contest the answer "nope" (in fact, I provided an explanation) -- I contest your decision to prioritize snark over helpfulness.
Is this level of tone policing helpful on net, though?
I think that they can get away with not exploring pricing as much because they’re trying to drive costs down instead and expand the market first. But I agree I’m surprised that prices aren’t being explored more.

Their new mini model is supposedly a lot smaller and cheaper than anything they’ve released before. If it compares to v3 which started this craze, then it’s clearly good enough to capture imagination and drive usage. People have posited that it’s cheap enough for per-click advertising to fund too. OpenAI claims that the lower cost model has doubled demand, which would be a good sign for supply-side growth.

It's a generic complaint about how The News in general doesn't view things in the particular way that a particular subset of the tech crowd views them. Just, a complaint that's trying to name-drop for extra views.

This sounds good at first. But if you think about the incentives that lead to ludicrous counts of advertising, the appeal disappears.

On line ads are really good for advertisers because they externalize some of the costs to everyone else. Who pays for storing the ad? You do. Who pays for transmitting the ad? You do. Who pays for displaying the ad? You do.

Utterly unlike any real world ad, like a billboard, or a neon beer sign, or even a TV commercial, those bring advertised to bear a lot of the costs.
LMAo. I just gave you an objective breakdown of what happened and suddenly, I'm prone to conspiracy theories? I gave you the info of two people Elon Musk has platformed explicitly (EndWokeness, Tate brothers) and how they inflamed the riots across the UK, and somehow, what you deduced is that I'm a conspiracy theory type?
I can't go back to coding without copilot. I agree it's a real efficiency booster.
The problem is that we are told to reduce, reuse, recycle. In that order.

Instead people are told there is a solution for recycling. They feel like the problem of plastic waste is solved. So they don’t make any efforts to reduce or reuse their waste.

Even when you know, as you do, it's tough to avoid such characterizations.
> I see no reason why someone should be allowed to spread obvious lies

The right to lie is fundamental to the principle of freedom of speech. Also the lies you think are “obvious” are almost certainly not obvious to everyone - they rarely are. And if someone cannot share a different view then you can’t arrive at the truth.
Since you've already looked into it, do you happen to have studies of particular quality for or against reduced work hours?

I wouldn't have put a database on k8s five years ago, but today the options are a lot better for persistent and resilient storage on k8s and there are pretty significant advantages to being able to normalize your deployment platform. I use CrunchyData's Postgres operator on top of Longhorn volumes for most of my stuff and being able to have what amounts to one-click deployment of multi-host-redundant, automatically backed-up databases is really nice.

The Percona Everest operator doesn't look as full-featured for Postgres, which is the only database I typically use, so this isn't for me, but might be a little better if you're a MySQL user (though that's just me guessing).
Thing is that LLM generated word salad is destroying Google search.

> There will be no mention of the repeated attacks on labor that have been systematically funded as “tech innovation” in recent years, including the gig economy, blockchain and crypto hype, and attempts to push the metaverse and thoughtless return to work.

Blockchain and crypto an attack on labour? Pointless and wasteful I could see, but I don't think they really have much to do with any kind of job or work at all, the whole appeal is that you get rich from not doing anything, they have no relation to anything tangible, it's entirely based off hype.
Another thing that could be fixed if we wanted to ensure that wealthy people actually pay taxes during their lifetime would be to treat taking out a loan using an asset as collateral as effectively the same thing as selling the asset and buying it back at the same price. They then have to pay capital gains.ize

Taxing unrealized gains in general I think is impractical since many assets simply don't have well-defined valuations, but if you take out, say, a $10 million loan using, say, shares in a privately traded company, then those shares are apparently worth $10 million dollars because the owner and the bank agreed they were.
It certainly could be helpful, as it is a reminder that the people making the observations also have functioning brains and, being more expert in the topic than the naive querent, would most likely have already considered the obvious. After some contemplation of the rather mild rebuke, the querent might ask better questions, or at least refrain from asking bad ones.

Many folks on HN, when encountering non-"tech" articles in the sciences, have a somewhat distressing habit of plunging toward assumptions which suggest that the people in the article have failed to look for the obvious and/or are decades behind in what the subjects know. This is especially sorrowful, because who among us hasn't suffered through someone asking us, in our specialty, "Why don't you just hit the EASY button? It's around here somewhere! You're making this sound hard!"
