One thing I tell myself: a lot of mistakes I made when I was younger - or things that I regret others having done to me - if they hadn’t happened, it is almost certain I would not have had the children I do. Sure, I might have still had children - but I wouldn’t have had these children. These kids, and those regrets, are a package deal. So in loving them and saying “Yes” to their existence, I have to say “Yes” to those regrets too, which are necessary to their existence.

I got this idea from reading Nietzsche’s Thus Spake Zarathustra, although it is my own personal spin on some of his ideas.

You are not wrong. Watching people on Youtube go through the process is how I absorbed knowledge. The fun thing with people like Jamie Oliver is that he is very loose and imprecise. He doesn't use table spoons, cups, and what not to measure things out. I don't print out or read recipes, ever.

Mathematical Symbols and JavaScript Equivalents
We're doing something similar. We first chunk the documents based on h1,h2,h3 headings. Then we add headers in the beginning of the chunk as a context. As an imagenary example, instead of one chunk being:

The usual dose for adults is one or two 200mg tablets or
capsules 3 times a day.

It is now something like:

# Fever

---
The usual dose for adults is one or two 200mg tablets or

This seems to work pretty well, and doesn't require any LLMs when indexing documents.

It's not that people are getting lured into spending time with ChatGPT instead of fellow human, but rather that the value of human interaction itself completely collapsed.

200 years ago if you wanted to survive you absolutely had to have friends and exchange favors with them, and in many places you also needed to have a partner. People stayed in bad relationships because that was the better option. Like, ok, your husband beats you, but also does a lot of work growing crops, and getting beaten beats starving to death.

At some point we just... stopped needing other people. It's perfectly viable to live on single income, and getting yourself into the complex world of "he did me a favor so I need to do him a favor" doesn't make sense when you can buy/rent everything you need for a few dollars. The only reason why you'd form relationships with other people is for fun. And most relationships aren't fun. They are difficult, they require lots of work, compromise, empathy, mutual understanding, openness, and so on. If this doesn't come to you naturally, you're screwed. I don't care about being an evolutionary dead-end because when I look at families around me I see that committing yourself to spreading your genetic material is rarely a good deal.

Once we figure out how to make AI models fun, there will be no reason to form relationships at all. I'm not ashamed to say that I'd have zero reservations forming a bond with a robot. In fact, I'd be happy to be an early adopter.

While OpenGl vs D3D11 I would agree I don't find D3D12 vs Vulkan difference to be that big.

What are the parts that you consider objectively better in D3D12 compared to Vulkan?
A good resource on this is UK campaigner Richard Murphy - http://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/

The basics are it is foolish to try and introduce a wealth tax - ie Bezos is worth 400Bn so we want 40bn now please. It becomes impossible to actually say how much a person owns - it fluctuates, even if they are co-operating fully it’s a fools game.

Yet tax rates are different for different categories - equalise those, and tax people at points of liquidation events - so capital gains is the most obvious.

Other liquidation events is borrowing against assets (the buy,borrow,die idea).

One can fairly easily imagine a minimum floor for all these - say 5 million in any fiscal year or whatever so we focus on where the money really is.

It’s also worth remembering that tax is simply a way of destroying the tokens of resource allocation (money). We want to tax the wealth to remove say X trillion globally. But remove it from the wealthiest who society has decided to give trillions to to handle covid but society thinks probably should not be having such a ratio of control over societies assets

And the implication is some other more destructive event can / will occur to rebalance - for example a massive stock market crash. The idea of “billions wiped off the exchange” is the same as a tax event - it’s just way more destructive and uncontrolled - event th wealthiest would rather t have tax planning than recessions and crashes

You should never use floats for money. In python Decimal works well. TigerBeatle uses 128 bit accounts and amounts which I thought was interesting although more than needed gor many cases.
If you search for 'D3D12' spec what you actually find is D3D12 doesn't have a specification at all. D3D12's "spec" is only specified by a document that states the differences from D3D11. There's no complete holistic document that describes D3D12 entirely in terms of D3D12. You have to cross reference back and forth between the two documents and try and make sense of it.

Many of D3D12's newer features (Enhanced Barriers, which are largely a clone of Vulkan's pipeline barriers) are woefully under specified, with no real description of the precise semantics. Just finding if a function is safe to call in multiple threads simultaneously is quite difficult.
> Apple recorded almost 100 billion in profit in 2023. They can afford to hire every single UX and UI designer on the face of the planet with that money

Lots of senior people have left in the last 10 years, and Covid/RTO dialed up the exodus to 11. Many of the best Apple designers - the ones who had been there for over a decade or two, with lots of deep, hard to acquire skills/knowledge - are gone, and they made so much money from stocks that there’s nothing Apple could offer to bring them back, seeing as the reason they left is that they missed the scrappy high impact environment of the 2000s/early 2010s and got tired of the trillion dollar company vibes.

It’s a tough problem to prevent, and it’s only going to get worse.

A tangential but related problem is that old school designers came from a very different background than modern day UX designers - since UX wasn’t formalized as a field back then, it was industrial design/print design/architecture/software nerds who found themselves having an interest in designing UIs who got the jobs. Today’s junior UX designers all have the same portfolio of hamburger menu apps and nonsensical personas and are lost the moment they have to design something more complex than an informational website in Figma. There might be 1000x more UX designers today than there was 20 years ago, but finding amazing ones in all the noise is harder than it ever was (the same way you can find tons of junior devs who can copy paste React code from chatGPT, but good luck finding devs that can write clean high performance code).

The company is still streets ahead the competition in many areas tho so I’m not too worried about the stock price for the next 5-10 years. Beyond that, who knows.

The image of SJ in a leather jacket flipping off IBM often comes to my mind. Apple is as old, has as many employees, and is much richer, than IBM was at the time this picture was taken. Time for founders to go take pictures of themselves flipping the bird in front of AP.
If I had to guess, the typical Arc user is a Mac user in tech. It doesn't run on Linux, most windows users wouldn't run it, and non-tech people haven't heard of it.

Then most engineering IC people will most likely run Firefox or Chrome, so you're probably looking at designers/founders/managers as your target.

Probably some interesting targets there, but not the type that the NSA cares about. Just pure conjecture on my part of course ;).
In many cases I can't tell anymore.

For example on Twitter/X it has become obvious in an aggregate sense, but it's hard to tell which individuals are bots. On Reddit it depends on the sub. Niche communities feel the same as ever, larger subs tend to feel more robotic, but it's still hard to distinguish on case by case basis.

Very nice, nice set of constraints!
In many corporate cases, SSH tunneling is the desired way of accessing a closed by default port on a firewall. Very often from a predefined bastion host.

If you don't want to open a range of IPs, it allows only people with their ssh key registered on either a selected bastion host or the server to open a specific port.

It can also be a way to authenticate users. For example if you want to secure the access to an open source version of an app for which only the proprietary enterprise tier allow authentication by ldap/AD/oauth2. You can have ssh authenticate against LDAP/AD/oauth2 and leave the app running without authentication enabled or with a single user. As long as you don't need RBAC/privilege separation or some kind of auditing of what each user does on the app this is a particularly valid solution.

As explained in the book, it was simply “The Premise.” Like a lot of my favorite sci-fi, it tried to run through a speculative scenario as faithfully as it can to science, engineering and sociology. But was there any reason for it to happen in the first place? No. Stephenson explicitly says so and doesn’t bother cooking up some contrived reason. He wrote the book because the premise was entertaining to him.
Ok, but this is something that shouldn't be my problem. And it's not just that; I have to go unfreeze it if someone needs to run a credit check.
> Europe could enforce corporate entities to give the right to be heard to people

Maybe not quite what you meant....

.... but the GDPR gives users the right not to be subjected to decisions based entirely on automated processing (including AI).

Thus, you have the right to have a human (an actual person!) consider your bank loan application, parking fine, passport application, membership cancellation etc, rather than just have an automatic system say "computer says no" with no right of appeal.

This is an important law which restricts potential tyranny (and I use that word with its full meaning) caused by allowing governments and corporations to limit public's engagement with wider business and society though the use of a restrictive IT practice.

What happens in 3d?
To add some context, this isn't that novel of an approach. A common approach to improve RAG results is to "expand" the underlying chunks using an llm, so as to increase the semantic surface area to match against. You can further improve your results by running query expansion using HyDE[1], though it's not always an improvement. I use it as a fallback.

I'm not sure what Anthropic is introducing here. I looked at the cookbook code and it's just showing the process of producing said context, but there's no actual change to their API regarding "contextual retrieval".

The one change is prompt caching, introduced a month back, which allows you to very cheaply add better context to individual chunks by providing the entire (long) document as context. Caching is an awesome feature to expose to developers and I don't want to take anything away from that.

However, other than that, the only thing I see introduced is just a cookbook on how to do a particular rag workflow.

As an aside, Cohere may be my favorite API to work with. (no affiliation) Their RAG API is a delight, and unlike anything else provided by other providers. I highly recommend it.

This has been a fun thread to read, though not reflecting highly on HN. For what it's worth, I agree with you that the original adage kicking this off is kind of silly, and basically wrong. For further enjoyment I found this interesting blog post from another PhD that addresses things more comprehensively (and also basically agrees with you): https://www.mydistributed.systems/2021/10/exactly-once-deliv...

The opening lines include: "The exact definition, however, is not agreed upon in the community. As a result, there is a debate on whether EOD is possible or impossible to achieve." If nothing else, I and probably others learned today that this is apparently a debate that can quickly turn into a flamewar. And I thought flamewars were mostly dead!

Another interesting paper that came up, as I have an interest in TLA+ proofs: "LogPlayer: Fault-tolerant Exactly-once Delivery using gRPC Asynchronous Streaming" https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.11286 It seems there's no problem in the community to do things like prove fault-tolerant exactly-once delivery, even if such terminology isn't universally agreed on.

We are not not doing anything wrong, but we are completely neglecting the attacker side.

All our actions are defensive.

Look at our physical security. Basically nothing is reasonably protected. 99% of stuff (buildings, locks) can be broken into with tools available in any home depot.

The key reason why it doesn't happen that much is because it's possible to find the attacker.

Why can any scammed just create a website without any traceability? It wouldn't be foolproof, but it would raise a bar.

Yes and no. HMAC is very inefficient for short messages, but that inefficiency quickly vanishes into noise for anything over a kB or two. (HKDF and HMAC-DRBG are probably the worst offenders as they are always running HMAC on small inputs).

But, on the other hand, HMAC has repeatedly proven itself to be resilient to all kinds of attacks. I definitely didn’t mean any MAC when I recommended HMAC: eg I don’t think Poly1305 is a good general purpose MAC. PRF maybe, but sometimes you need the MAC to be committing too. Yes, some hash functions can be used with a simple prefix MAC, but then you need to list which specific hash functions to use (and most of those are not yet widely available).

I think the innovation is using caching as so to make the cost of the approach manageable. The way they implemented it is that each time you create a chunk, you ask the llm to create an atomic chunk from the whole context. You need to do this for all tens of thousands of chunks in your data. This costs a lot. By caching the documents, you can spare costs

Is apple only using jxl for their “raw” camera capture, but not regular camera capture?? The non-raw use case seems to be the one that would have more impact to regular folks.

Why? Is jxl inferior to HEIC?
In the specific case of JPEG XL I think Google support will be the real inflection point: no chrome and default android support is a deal breaker for wide audience content publishers.

The ironic part being of course that Chrome used to support it way too early, but support was dropped as nobody followed. So yes, Apple support is a big deal, but not more consequential than the other actors of the pretty vast ecosystems.
