to be honestly from the way "safe" and "alignment" is perceived on r/LocalLLaMA in two years its not going to be very appealing.

We'll be able to generate most of Chat GPT4o's capabilities locally on affordable hardware including "unsafe" and "unaligned" data as the noise-to-qubits is drastically reduced meaning smaller quantized models that can run on good enough hardware.

We'll see a huge reduction in price and inference times within two years and whatever SSI is trained on won't be economically viable to recoup that $1B investment guaranteed.

all depends on GPT-5's performance. Right now Sonnet 3.5 is the best but theres nothing really ground breaking. SSI's success will depend on how much uplift it can provide over GPT-5 which already isn't expected to be significant leap beyond GPT4
If it’s said on a privately owned platform on private infrastructure then it isn’t free speech. Private companies have the freedom to restrict speech on their platforms, and they enjoy that freedom at the price of having to adhere to regulatory action.

Say it in the actual public square and the public government shouldn’t be empowered to silence you. That’s not an argument for giving Elon free reign to both silence his critics and also promote his own idiot views, that’s an argument for seizing the Internet back into public ownership.

> This appeal presents the following question: Is it “fair use” for a
nonprofit organization to scan copyright-protected print books in their
entirety, and distribute those digital copies online, in full, for free, subject to
a one-to-one owned-to-loaned ratio between its print copies and the digital
copies it makes available at any given time, all without authorization from
the copyright-holding publishers or authors? Applying the relevant
provisions of the Copyright Act as well as binding Supreme Court and
Second Circuit precedent, we conclude the answer is no.

When the conclusion is so obviously incorrect, we should examine the underlying precedent that leads us to such an erroneous conclusion. This precedent should give us pause. They're restricting a NONPROFITs to distribute legally purchased print media in a way that the publishers don't want.

And this seems to be the justification:

> In addition to selling traditional print books, Publishers collectively invest
millions of dollars in developing new formats and markets suited for the digital
age, including the eBook market.

> Here, by contrast, IA’s Free Digital Library offers few efficiencies beyond
those already offered by Publishers’ own eBooks. IA argues that its use is more
efficient because it “replace[s] the burdens of physical transportation with the
benefits of digital technology,” but this ignores the fact that IA’s digital books
compete directly with Publishers’ eBooks―works derivative of the original print
books.

This is an assault on free-use, libraries, and collective sharing of knowledge. If I buy a physical book, I can give it to anyone I want because the laws of yore did not see societal benefit to prohibiting this. I'm quite certain that these companies would prohibit the practice, if they could. The law is the only thing protecting the commons.

The argument here is essentially, "these companies are spending millions to distribute their IP digitally, so we should shield them from Open standards that would negatively impact their profits". "Your work isn't transformative, because we've already done a similar transformation". They're wielding a proprietary implementation as a hammer to crush open knowledge. The internet should be a tool to facilitate knowledge-sharing for the betterment of our entire species, not a weapon to stifle knowledge for the sake of corporate profits.

Thanks for the comment, very insightful.

As for LLM embeddings being inferior: the quality of embeddings really is dependent on the usecase. Embedding is a lossy form of compression.

In more than half the cases I've seen, a 32-dimension GLoVe embedding preforms just as accurately as the 4000 dimension LLM embeddings some people default to using. The 32d embedding performs better even, if you consider system performance (throughput, costs, etc.)
Yeah, you've got Apple, Nvidia and AMD heavily exposed to that geopolitical risk, but seemingly not willing to help lessen it by investing in US fabs. Whenever I note this people here and elsewhere say "they're smart to be fabless" but somebody's gotta run fabs and more fabs need to be run in the US and quickly. I realize industrial policy isn't in vogue these days but it might be a good idea for the future of US semiconductor production to arrange some marriages between some of these companies that have a lot of capital and have a lot of need to reduce their geopolitical risk. Our brand of capitalism isn't great at looking ahead more than a quarter or two.
Reading and understanding the opinion is the way for this one, for a simple reason as I understand it. The judges get to basically make up an opinion about the matter, which could be anything. And they can support basically any opinion using whatever they want, and it can be made to sound ok.

The whole point is that the judges are forming a judgement. It's, like, their opinion on the matter. The judges don't have to find out mathematically what the law says. They're making (case) law, by making an opinion, based on how they feel about it all, trying to be well-informed on the matter and its background, but really just putting down their feeling on it. Here's the most essential thing they wrote IMO:

From Page 2: """Is it “fair use” for a nonprofit organization to scan copyright-protected print books in their entirety, and distribute those digital copies online, in full, for free, subject to a one-to-one owned-to-loaned ratio between its print copies and the digital copies it makes available at any given time, all without authorization from the copyright-holding publishers or authors? Applying the relevant provisions of the Copyright Act as well as binding Supreme Court and Second Circuit precedent, we conclude the answer is no."""

They justify it in a series of points. We can disagree with the points all we want, like whether or not it is transformative, or commercial, or all the other things. But at the end of the day, these judges said, nah, we're going to say that we don't think this is fair.

I mean, I can see their point. But this would have been a chance for them to see the point in what the IA was doing and to say, "oh, you know what, that is actually fair in our view". Only, they didn't, it looks like.

I guess the next step is to see if the Supreme Court is interested in weighing in on the topic.

`unsafe.Pointer` isn't really a pointer, it's more like a uintptr; Go actually flat-out has safe pointers to begin with. They can do most things you'd care to do with pointers, including being passed around, dereferenced and storing addresses to non-Go memory. The only reason to use `unsafe.Pointer` is to do unsafe things with the addresses stored in pointers, like passing pointers across programming language boundaries, performing pointer arithmetic, reinterpreting memory, or serializing/deserializing pointers.

The real fear you should have is wasting your time by using unsafe mechanisms when you could use much more robust safe mechanisms instead, by reframing your problems. Pointers themselves, obviously, are nothing more than memory addresses with possibly a type attached to them.
Valve sells the SteamDeck and is preparing SteamOS for use on similar handhelds available now from most major vendors.

They may not be traditional laptops or desktops, but they're PCs, and they're being sold with compatibility with a large installed base of Windows games in mind. Moreover, handheld gaming PC users seem to perceive SteamOS as being superior to Windows in this device category.
I've concluded that it's a HW driver bug after trying out creating swap file, adding resume device and offset to grub; even tried setting SELinux to permissive.

By Jay Zimmerman and Jim Nitchals. The choppiness was key: it played the note uninterrupted (literally!) for just long enough to let the listener ascertain the pitch, but not so long that it interfered with the rest of the game loop.

I never disassembled it, either, but my teenage ears sensed that the sound was still playing, albeit at a near-inaudible frequency, even during musical pauses. I assumed the game would set a memory location somewhere to indicate the note to play, and the sound routine's job was simply to play that note (probably attempting to keep a constant time as the frequency varies). That kept the frame rate consistent even if there wasn't sound to play.
This is from what I remember. I can't provide any proof because it's just from glances at the Yuzu Discord.

From what I recall, the Yuzu dev team (or at least some members) kept a private "stash" of pirated Switch games on a private Discord server and constantly used it to talk about Switch piracy and the like.

If the lawsuit progressed, it would have come out in discovery. Not a good look.

This explains why Nintendo went after Yuzu but not Ryujinx, which employs the same decryption mechanisms as the former.

Some trauma isn't obvious to the victims. Like if a parent never emotionally connected with their children but still provided shelter, food, etc. Trauma can also be disguised under (pick your ideology / religion) and therefore the victim doesn't call it trauma. Other people experience trauma and the way their mind adapts is by forgetting. You'll often hear about these people remembering shocking things that no "normal" person would forget, like sexual abuse.

Also, trauma and drugs could be two of several ways of becoming open to the other world. Another could be genetic. Or there could be multiple other worlds or different categories of spiritual beings, some people susceptible to some and others to others.

They're pretty incredible machines for the price. I bought one a year and a half ago in an emergency, as the networking on my laptop died over the course of a few days and I needed something for browsing and email.

I don't get how some people struggle with the idea that he may simultaneously be a gifted businessman (in certain sectors, obviously Twitter was a disaster) and also simultaneously be a raging asshole.

Bill Gates was a raging asshole. Steve Jobs was a raging asshole. Larry Ellison was a raging asshole. It's not ideal, but it also doesn't preclude success.
At this point, I'm not sure why you'd want to go public unless it's simply to cash out ASAP. Everything you just described seems like major hell to deal with.
It's worth noting this is just one person's opinion, it's not an opinion of the Fed itself. The paper analyzes corporate profits on the basis of interest and tax rates alone, but ignores other monumental shifts in global markets over the past few decades like globalized supply chain networks. It's probably true that the efficiency gains from globalization have already passed their peak, but that would have as much of an impact on declines in profit growth rates as any other factor.

The article also ignores technology as a factor. If globalization is at its peak, automation is probably still in its infancy. Robotics and AI are rapidly advancing and it's going to have a substantial impact to supply chains and labor markets over the coming decades, regardless of what happens with interest rates.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing that detail. As someone who has tinkered with tokenizing/training I quickly found out this must be the case. Some people on HN don't know this. I've argued here with otherwise smart people who think there is no data preprocessing for LLMs, that they don't need it because "vectors", failing to realize the semantic depth and quality of embeddings depends on the quality of training data.

I've been a Mechanical Engineer for a similar length of time, using Solidworks and Creo, and I concur. I've released many thousands of parts over the course of my career, and I don't think of the modeling itself as a major time sink (provided you have some decent training, and are using a thoughtful approach and not fighting the software). If the AI copilot could actually do all the modeling based on prompts, that would be pretty interesting, especially if it could create a feature try that I could tweak.

Automatic drafting is something that I think might be a good target for doing some AI research on. Your prompt exists in the form of the solid model, and it's feature tree and parameters. The output is the lay out views and annotations. It's okay if the output isn't perfect, as I would expect to be reviewing it and doing some tweaks.

Helping with all of the ERP processes involved with releasing and maintaining engineering documentation would be a HUGE time saver. If I could ask a copilot program to start a change request, and give it some basic descriptions of what I'm changing, it would be massively helpful if it could start pulling relevant files, and auto-filling the right requests/forms/whatever to do that process.

The subject of study of physics is "physical quantity" which is defined as a number with a unit. Physical quantity doesn't have to be a "physical" quantity. So physics does not study exclusively physical objects. I think this is how mathematics and physics are related, mathematics does not deal with units (except unity).
At least as far as the filesystem labels are concerned, the designers of SELinux consciously chose to use inode-based labels instead of path-based policies because the latter can be dodged via hard links. For this reason, it's best to disallow hard linking when using AppArmor, while such a restriction is unnecessary under SELinux.
Well, if you do, my email is in my profile and I'll be happy to be an advance proofreader if you're interested. I've got a couple of teens in a very similar position as well, so I can even provide multiple people's point of view. I have pretty much the exact right amount of experience for that; I've been in there, I've done things, even completed a couple of non-trivial projects (nothing amazing, but, more than just "a pad with a pocket in it"), I recognize I'm confused, I don't know where to proceed from there.
sotck can be low because it's undervalued by the entire market and going to jump once they catch up to the future value potential, or it can be low because it accurately reflects the decline and limited value. If you only see the "attractive perk" from being so low you're the one using historical performance as the indicator, thinking Intel's only a few quarters or years away from former glory days.
i'm always super impressed by brett victor and highly admire his work.

that said, I have to admit that it doesn't really feel "right" based on what I've seen. there's so many limitations to the physical world that a virtual space doesn't have. i get that physical objects can participate in the UI and that arranging things in 3D space is sometimes nicer than using a mouse/keyboard.

However, the fact that there is still code written on pieces of paper, and that the projector can only show a 2D image (which is only primitively interactable) just looks super awkward. and the question of "what can you do" when you're staring at a blank table seems tough

again, it's super cool research but i wonder if he has plans to resolve some of these fundamental issues with mixing real and virtual

Metering in software is usually terrible.

It discourages experimentation and use. It also adds significant mental overhead when it comes to using something. One can imagine this mental overhead when using Canva or Photoshop. But if evrry app was like that the complexity would rise exponentially.

Metering leads to reaching local optimal states at best, and makes it very difficult to reach a global optimal state.

There is very little marginal cost when software is concerned so metering isn’t even reflective of the costs of using a product.

However, this isn’t currently true of AI. AI has significant marginal costs so metering probably better aligns with the expenses, but metering is so bad for other reasons that most companies are choosing to forgo the “reflective of costs” benefit and just charge flat prices anyways.

This being ycombinator and as such ostensibly has one or two (if not more) VCs as readers/commentators … can someone please tell me how these companies that are being invested in in the AI space are going to make returns on the money invested? What’s the business plan? (I’m not rich enough to be in these meetings) I just don’t see how the returns will happen.

Open source LLMs exist and will get better. Is it just that all these companies will vie for a winner-take-all situation where the “best” model will garner the subscription? Doesn’t OpenAI make some substantial part of the revenue for all the AI space? I just don’t see it. But I don’t have VC levels of cash to bet on a 10x or 100x return so what do I know?
