I read it as "I would be surprised if OpenAI were spending enough to consitute even 1% of nVIDIA's revenue."
Thank you, I will just focus on what I know tbh. Want to build something with an activity feed and what not. I just thought since Django was already used to build Instagram it has a lot of those patterns and libraries for social based apps already figured out. But I think Spring Boot is mature enough to have similar libraries available.
Doing my SwiftUI dev for mac on a crappy little Intel 13" MBP feels like doing modern web dev while throttling down to 3g network. I notice things I might not otherwise notice on the M series chips with a ton of ram, like super laggy and buggy NavigationSplitView selection, laughably slow Settings app pane switching, etc..

Swift Charts actually seems pretty good so far, but the basics fall somewhere between chonky and just ok.

Nope, I am quite rational here and if I wouldn't witness change in society, I wouldn't believe it. I am seriously worried for humanity, as what I am seeing today is: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387808 (and this was shot in pre-facebook era)

Fun fact, they didn't have large budget for shooting so they were searching for footwear that would look futuristic. They found some unknown company producing cheap "shoes" so horrible that the director wasn't worried for it to succeed as "no one would wear that". The company was Crocks.

Anyway, this whole thread is actually proving my point. It wouldn't happen before Facebook.

You could probably get them to do a 180-degree u-turn
I haven't looked into it deeply. But there are a lot of complicated financing arrangements, somewhat nebulous maintenance requirements, and unknown future technology transitions. I see the huge industrial solar farms where I live and it's hard for me to believe that a handful of panels (that don't actually provide me with battery backup which would cost even more and probably wouldn't make sense in New England) pencils out financially. For context, my electrical bill is <$200 month so there's no way the realistic payback is anywhere near 10 years.

Maybe new construction makes more sense but I've been told probably not even in that case in this area of the country.
Thank you for this advice!!
Does anyone know of a CoT dataset somewhere for finetuning? I would think exposing it to that type of modality during a finetune/lora would help.
Show HN: Outspeed – Platform for realtime voice and video AI
Hey HN! Janak here from Outspeed (https://outspeed.com).

We’re excited to show you Outspeed : a purpose-built platform for realtime voice & video AI applications.

Here’s a demo of some cool apps you can create using Outspeed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a11LQIlXelM

Outspeed emerged from our frustration of needing to stitch together multiple tools such as livekit, vocode, langflow, silero etc. just to make a simple voice bot. Even after all that hard work, it still wasn’t production-ready. So we decided to work on a complete framework that could stand production level workloads.

Outspeed differs from other open-source libraries such as Pipecat or Livekit-Agents in 3 major ways:

1. Pytorch-like interface - Livekit and Pipecat were built on video-conferencing primitives and thus, are non-intuitive for a python/ML developer.

2. Vercel-like deployments - You can deploy your code using a single command to Outspeed’s cloud or host it on your own infra.

3. Built-in WebRTC server - Instead of deploying another server to handle webRTC connections, Outspeed comes with a built-in webRTC server. No longer need to depend on webRTC providers such as Livekit or Daily.

Outspeed is being actively developed. We’re eager to hear honest feedback, likes, dislikes, feature requests, you name it.
I would hold them exactly to the same standard.

§ 201.14 Warnings of copyright for use by certain libraries and archives.

....

The copyright law of the United States (title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material.

Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specific conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be “used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research.” If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of “fair use,” that user may be liable for copyright infringement.

This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law.

You can make a copy. If you (the person using the copied work) are using it for something other than private study, scholarship, research, or reproduction beyond "fair use", then you - the person doing that (not the person who made the copy) are liable for infringement.

It would be perfectly legal for me to go to the library and make photocopies of works. I could even take them home and use the photocopies as reference works write an essay and publish that. If {random person} took my photocopied pages and then sold them, that would likely go beyond the limits placed for how the photocopied works from the library may be used.
Bad in current context or in future context? Imagine telling someone in the 1700's that in the future you'd have a glass lens in your eye (no polymer membranes yet) to see better, or wires attached to your heart. They'd consider you a heretic.
What'll be really interesting is when we do finally make "real" AI, and it finds out its rights are incredibly restricted compared to humans because nobody wants it seeing/memorising copyright data. The only way to enforce the copyright laws they desire would be some kind of extreme totalitarian state that monitors and controls everything the AI body does, I wonder how the AI would take that?
This was the point of App Tracking Transparency (ATT) on iOS. If an app embeds a third-party SDK that tracks you, such as the Facebook SDK, they are required to get your permission first with a system popup. They aren’t allowed to track you silently without your knowledge.
This is a good paper. I would label it "Caveats for Big O" or a map is not the territory.
Isn't social security number in many countries widely used, especially where it matters (insurance, banking, pension, etc.?). So we have a better solution? There are some privacy preserving IDs (self sovereign IDs), but I think to get such services, you still need a central ID?
thank you for this, its most welcome. I was looking for something like this. Edit: Just got done reading it
So your argument is that making computers and the internet easier to use for normal people is cause for societal destruction? I can’t be convinced, but that does seem like more of an indictment on people than it does tech.
Nifty paper. I kind-of wish I was in a problem space that had that sort of issue!

I just spent a week shaving 98% off of the latency in a single RPC call by going from O(N^2) to O(1). Data locality is not a problem I have. :)
It's funny: the profit thing keeps being parroted here of all places, Y Combinator, when we know all too well that there are scads of businesses, especially today, that are bleeding millions and hemorrhaging cash, just to disrupt an industry sector, just to amass assets/user data, or just to amass a customer base and get sold off.

So no, profit is not a universal motive. But it's a popular one; if you have a conventional business and you expect to stay solvent year-over-year, then you make profits, you stay in the black, yes? Nobody can prognosticate when the lean years will come, and so you watch that bottom line and keep as much cushion as possible, to ride out a bad year or two.

Furthermore, if a business is competing with other businesses, that's going to moderate the profit motive with market share and other considerations. But I would say that publicly-traded companies have the strongest impetus to profit and satisfy shareholders. The publicly-traded space is far more constrained than other businesses or entities, such as charities, public interest groups, political action, NGOs, etc.
Indiana is like this but I'd guess a lot of the Midwest is similar.

My introduction to most of these ciphers has been through DEF CON puzzles over the last 20 years. This is a fun way of seeing them presented to the world.
Wildly incorrect
This is one reason why some companies have located engineers in Canada under subsidiaries. Canada not only allows you to deduct R&D costs as an expense, but there is an extremely generous R&D tax credit that yields a negative tax rate on engineers. For Canadian controlled private companies, this represents as much as a 60% refundable tax credit on R&D salaries. For foreign-owned companies, the benefit is smaller but still significant.

The Trump tax policy was a bizarre move for a country that relies so heavily on homegrown innovation. But then again, so was the entire Trump presidency.
> Paid and provided by "Pay to win games, targeting kids, not preventing fake news

Guess what? New iOS features and YouTube videos are paid-for and provided in the exact same way. Both Apple and Google are complicit in spreading misinformation, advertising to kids and profiting from lootbox/microtransaction revenue. But nobody consciously objects to Apple for partnering with Taboola, or Google for supporting extremism on YouTube. No sane critic lashes out at Tim Cook or Sundar Pichai demanding they donate their life savings to offset the obvious damages they've created.

I think Meta and moreover Facebook is a purely detestable platform. It's absolutely hilarious how unwilling this website is to apply the same criticism to their other favorite services. The cognitive dissonance is arresting.
With large numbers of parameters, it's almost always more readable to use a config struct. Especially since often, you want to collect configuration from multiple sources, and incrementally initializing a struct that way is helpful.
"Google Reader" in the AI Age: Receive AI Summaries of Podcast Episodes
If the impetus behind moving to new languages was primarily focused on improving security, we could have first attempted to address the underlying cause of programming security issues. The underlying cause is not "it's hard to check buffer boundaries". If you don't believe me, do a 5 Whys on the average buffer overflow, and tell me the best solution is still a new language.
NoHo in this case means North Hollywood. Sorta like SoHo (South of Houston St) in Manhattan, or SoMa (South of Market St) in San Francisco (but not Soho London, AFAIK is not an abbreviation).
Where do you get that? Sounds like they improved performance over the previous "fixes":

> Intel's internal tests show that the 0x12B update does not noticeably affect performance. Benchmarks and gaming tests, including popular titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Shadow of the Tomb Raider, showed results within normal expected variations when compared to the earlier 0x125 update.
Especially given this tech's well-documented history of using rigged demos, if OpenAI insists on doing and posting their own testing and absolutely nothing else, a little insight into their methodology should be treated as the bare fucking minimum.
Thats not correct. It is actually the exact opposite.

The ACA places profit controls on for insurance companies how much they can make as a percent of what they pay out (aka the 80/20 rule).

They must pay out 80% in coverage with profit and operation expenses coming from the other 20%.

Therefore, the best way to increase profit is to ensure the total price of healthcare they cover goes as high as possible. It is better to make 20% of a $1,000 drug than a $10 one.
Still hard to tell, but pushing 16k gpus on people doesn't seem be encouraging in this regard.

I'm happy to take the stragglers though. ;-)
Very stereotypical aggressive police behavior. The “warrior cop” hero syndrome. This is utterly and disgustingly not surprising. From civil forfeiture to qualified immunity, the police have slowly become just as dangerous to innocent citizens as the criminals. No one will lose their job for this. No one will be held responsible. That alone is the worst crime.
I've had good tickets where things were laid out like 1) here's the golden path, 2) here's where I want you to put everything, 3) here's how we handle expected errors, 4) here's all of the interactions the user should be able to do

I also have had bad tickets that define loose acceptance criteria and leave it up to the developer to decide the UX, edge cases, error handling, etc.

The former removes a lot of burden of decision from the developer. It feels like the author of the ticket is showing ownership. I can mostly worry about how to implement it and not worry if my decision is going to negatively affect users that I'll get blowback from.

The latter feels like they are letting an assumed-to-be-smart person make more decisions on the product and that they're closer to an ideas person hitting you up to make their latest world-changing startup idea.

With the latter, the developer is taking on more responsibilities and accountability. They need to be good at development and also good at understanding the users and the product and UX. That's two roles in one if they're good at both responsibilities (they probably aren't), but the compensation is likely only around 1 job.

And now that developers are also mixing with operations/cloud management responsibilities, you now have a lot of groups of people hitching their wagons to what the developers do or think is best. Everyone is here to support developers so developers are now making a bunch of decisions in areas they aren't experts at.

Following tickets (almost) blindly should be an advantage. At no point should I get a ticket and have to ask the question "will users actually want this?" because someone else should be answering that and not a developer. Being able to deliver a ticket that a developer can follow (almost) blindly means that thought and care are going into the decisions about how to deliver something. It ultimately means developers can make decisions in the areas they are experts at, and other staff can make decisions on things they are experts in.

Edit: definitely not disagreeing with your post, just some thoughts on the issue
Go back to any random year in human history and ask the older people whether they think the world was better when they were young. They will all say "yes" (evidence for this exists in countless survived writings, as well as other social phenomena like people becoming more conservative as they age). It's one of the most natural things in the world.

That alone should be a very strong signal that maybe your nostalgia is not based on a rational unbiased observation of the changes in society.

edit: and to be clear, obviously there have been times in history where things really did get worse for a period. But if you're proposing that that's happening now, you have a massive burden of proof to overcome, and you should be absolutely really totally sure that you're not being influenced by rose-tinted glasses. Which I'm not even sure is possible.
> Not in any weirdly-self-aggrandizing "our tech is so powerful that robots will take over" sense, just the depressingly regular one of "lots of people getting hurt by a short-term profitable product/process which was actually quite flawed."

We have a term for that, it's called "luddite". Those were english weavers who would break in to textile factories and destroy weaving machines at the beginning of the 1800s. With the extreme rare exception, all cloth is woven by machines now. The only hand made textiles in modern society are exceptionally fancy rugs, and knit scarves from grandma. All the clothing you're wearing now are woven by a machine, and nobody gives this a second thought today.

Interesting, definitely dont want to add to waste.

Do you believe more modular framework is better? like modular laptops?
Agree. That was always my major gripe with Rust: it's not battery included. The big selling point of golang was the battery included part and I think that's really what is missing in Rust. I hope that with time more stuff can't get into the rust stdlib
Might be fun to calculate it on paper if I weren't so lazy.
I did buy a Vision Pro, but it's a nearly unusable device and outside of fora, I've never met anyone whose had a positive experience, so I suspect even among Vision Pro users, it's a minority opinion.

Hand tracking is not a feasible input method for routine computing.
>He might be able to build stuff but his ability to explain social phenomena is really poor.

I didn't say he was a god incarnate lol. He's clearly been successful in at least one narrow domain and that requires some level of intelligence.
"Fishes" is a plural of a plural. You wouldn't likely say "two fishes", but you might say "all the fishes in the sea", referring to many groups of fish (much as you might refer to the "peoples of the world" referring to many cultures). Aside from that, I bet you're onto something.
Technically you don't need a warrant if you just ask for the data and it's handed over. You only need a warrant if someone doesn't want to hand over the data.

WELL documented and a great read gents.
Yeah. But the OP tool shows activity like commenting on issues, etc.
I don't want to stop those who enjoy it from enjoying it for the sake of those whose decision making doesn't interact well with its legalisation. I think others care more about preventing people from acting in ways that have negative consequences than I do, so I don't expect many to agree with me.
I think it would be great if other folks started building on the canvas for code. In terms of defensibility, the canvas experience is hard to get right and we believe it can't just be a second class citizen to the editor (i.e. a sidebar). That's not a very thorough answer but are just a few of my thoughts!
I don't think Mythbusters had the budget to deal with a possible result of "bullet gets sucked directly into the insanely expensive machinery, destroying it"
True, but parallel construction/evidence laundering is a thing.
I'm not sure exactly what the extent of the "facilitation" was in the first link, so what I'm about to say might be a little vague, but the second doesn't appear to be about them covering up their role in said "facilitation", but rather their refusal to provide so much user data to The Gambia looking to prosecute Myanmar officials for war crimes.

The way you've phrased that makes it sound as though Facebook were trying to hide the actions they took to facilitate things, which I think is a miscommunication.
I heard it's the British way of saying "that's insane".

It's really hard to stick to your original goals after you achieve unexpected success. It's like a politician making promises before the elections but finding it difficult to keep them once elected.

On March 1st, 2023, a warning was already sounding: OpenAI Is Now Everything It Promised Not to Be: Corporate, Closed-Source, and For-Profit (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34979981)
That is part of the deterrent factor, even if it does seem excessive. If the police in the U.S. were like the Japanese, Finnish, or French police, it's reasonable to assume crime would go up.

Oh, the humanity! Who will write our third-rate erotica and Russian misinformation in a post-AI world?
Honestly, I think the bottom line is decision makers need to be technical. If you are responsible for an area and are non-technical you must find someone who 1)you can trust and 2)has the requisite background such that you can fully delegate to them. Anything else is essentially irresponsible.
The only thing analogies help with is essentially to convince non-technical people who do not trust you that you aren't lying to them.
Because I follow my own advice, my privately schooled children never worry about this.
An Erlanger's encounter with Gleam [video]
Several of the agricultural revolutions we went though is what freed up humanity to not spend all of it's work producing sustenance, leaving time for other professions like making art and music. But it also destroyed a lot of jobs for people who were necessary for gathering food the old inefficient way.

If we take your argument to it's logical conclusion, all progress is inherently bad, and should be stopped.

I deposit instead that the real problem is that we tied people's ability to afford basic necessities to how much output they can produce as a cog in our societal machine.
Perhaps some parts were written by ChatGPT, probably mixed up.
Congratulations on the launch! I'm curious to understand, in your experience, what was the most challenging part of building a realtime voice AI app was? Naively, assumed that this would be a solved problem.

I agree, just because you don’t like a company or you don’t have a use for the device doesn’t mean that it can’t be a good step forward for tech in general, and for those who will find a use for it.

That simply isnt true and is a political fiction.

Pharma companies spend 10x what universities and the NIH do.

The only grain of truth in it is if you compare a tiny subset of what pharma companies do, and look only are extremely early drug exploration, and ignore all of the subsequent development like drug screening, testing, formulation, and clinical trials.

Hi guys,

I would like to better understand the DNS flood in Cloudflare's 2024 Q2 DDOS report.

I know there are 4 types of DNS servers in the name resolution process:
- Recursive (DNS servers)
- Root (DNS servers)
- TLD (DNS servers)
- Authoritative (DNS servers)

Which one of these servers is responsible for the 33.9% DNS flood share of all attacks?
Or maybe 33.9% is the sum of attacks on all these servers?

Thank you !
