Usability did it.

You download an exe, install it, make an account and it runs. Just like that. Everybody can do it.

There are tons of useful and great software out there. Most of it is not easy for the public. Some (most?) of it doesn't even have an GUI. People rather sell their identity and even pay than suffer through too many hops.
One can only learn these languages after 40 years, or what is your actual point?
I love the idea of ReZero, basically using a trainable parameter, alpha, in residual layers like this:

Deep Network | xi+1 = F(xi)
Residual Network | xi+1 = xi + F(xi)
Deep Network + Norm | xi+1 = Norm(F(xi))
Residual Network + Pre-Norm | xi+1 = xi + F(Norm(xi))
Residual Network + Post-Norm | xi+1 = Norm(xi + F(xi))
ReZero | xi+1 = xi + αi F(xi)

However, I haven't actually seen this used in practice.
The papers we have on Gemma and Llama all still seem to be using layer norms.

Am I missing something?
It was definitely changed.

> do the minimum required by the EU

People have a misunderstanding of how these EU laws work.

They are designed to be flexible with all of the specifics left up to lawmakers to interpret. Which is understandable when you're dealing with so many technical issues which can't be anticipated ahead of time.

So there is no legal or technical definition of what is the "minimum required". There are high-level outcomes that require continuous negotiations to achieve.

And you can have consumer protections like Australia, UK etc that consists more of specific regulations rather than what the EU has.
I was watching the video of someone using openai voice chat, asking for a joke. Then I've tried it myself, asking for a joke and I got the exact same one. (Why don't skeletons fight eachother?).

Seems like if then else haha.
And then you can eat the pie as a reward.
It would improve things a lot if the Office of Research Integrity had the same clout as the SEC.
It is a fact that companies like Apple, Meta etc are not bringing AI technology to the EU specifically because the regulations are not clear of their obligations.

And if they don't comply it is a ridiculous and unprecedented fine of 10% of global revenue.
Or maybe companies should stop tracking every other step of user and sell their data to thousands of fucking advertising leeches?

Great guide for a founder, not a great guide for founders employees. Understand the difference and why it was a mistake. Personally, I apply most of what he’s saying to my daily life but I’ve learned very quickly you’ll have employees that hate you if you expect this from them.

This should be an executive handbook, maybe some trickled to employees knowing if they go above and beyond they’ll get further but there’s a very good reasons founders shouldn’t doodle their personal feelings into a handbook and it’s cost him big.

What we are seeing here is the result of a person that stayed as a startup mentality when it was time to grow into a corporate one. He will survive this I’m sure, but it’s going to cost him a billion dollars and we will start to see a much more grown up version. I hope founders are paying attention to how and why this happened.
5 billions in losses on 3.7 billions in revenue. So yes OpenAI is losing money, but they are looking at a valuation of 150 billion, so they could easily get investors to fund the losses, but of cause the case for investors has to be “invest and you can make a profit” which can be a tough sell if the mission isn’t aligned with making a profit for the company.

Around June or July 2023, Tuan, my partner, and I learned about the practice of Indie Hacking and the active community of Indie Hackers on X. They blew our mind. Ever since we got immersed into the community, we have learned so many lessons that could apply to our own startup. Here's my blog post sharing what I've learned.
Apple makes money from selling products.

Every text editor that understands Unicode already allows for that. If you want to use ≤ rather than <=, then you need to alter the language, not the editor.

These are professional, paid astronaut. They both have decades of experience and both have experience being up in space.

If I were to bet they’re probably happy to spend more time on the ISS because I doubt they have many more missions left to do in their careers.

They’re in no danger. There’s no harm done to them.
You know you can respect Apple products without simping for them, right?
> specifically because the regulations are not clear of their obligations.

"unclear obligations":

- do not use people's data without their consent

- disclose and document your training data

Of course it's "unclear" to companies like Facebook who opted everyone on their platform in to training their AI models by default.

Apple's "AI" is coming to all users everywhere eventually. As many of their products it's rolled out to US, English-speaking, rest of the world, in that order. And it won't even fully ship to the US until sometime next year. Their "boohoo EU" is marketing and PR bullshit aimed at gullible morons.

> And if they don't comply it is a ridiculous and unprecedented fine of 10% of global revenue.

It's a fine up to 10% of global revenue. And that number can only be reached when the company willingly and willfully continues to break the law

Yeah making everyone waste time on every site with the cookies warnings is something we should all be grateful for the EU.
And for me it was this ingenious 2019 paper co-authored by Stephan Hoyer and Sam Greydanus on doing structural optimization by employing a (constrained) neural network as a storage/modifier/tuner of the physical model describing the structure to optimize: https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.04240
Super interesting approach and very well written paper.
Asking ChatGPT to give me boilerplate is a huge productivity win for me still. For example, I recently asked ChatGPT to give me a Terraform file that sets up API Gateway, Lambda, and DynamoDB. The script it gave me worked after only a couple of minor tweaks. Was up and running in about 15 minutes, whereas I'm pretty sure it'd be hours if I had to dredge through the docs myself.
Thank you, I was hoping someone would take the bait and complete my chain of pedantry.

LLMs can be revolutionary for approaching areas you do not know well ("how do you do this with this library, provide short working code").

But you need to use Retrieval Augmented Generation (or bare LLMs will either invent the nonexistent or present solutions to non-proposed problems).
Do we want this kind of law, as citizen?

It’s self incrimination, but that’s not the main point. It shows we’re trying to guess what the moral person was thinking while doing the crime. Is this ok in the justice theory?
ChatGPT o1 preview is producing amazing results for code and generally helpful with life. It's not well integrated to many IDE tools yet (I use Cody a bit which has a wait list for o1 preview), but then I keep going back to just using the ChatGPT interface anyway because it feels cleaner to manually select and upload the relevant files attachments anyway. I'm sure that will change as integrations improve. Claude seems really popular on here but I wonder if that's just because Sonnet is free and useful enough. I prefer the results of newer ChatGPT models currently and feel they are worth paying for.
Code completion. I’m about 50/50 on whether it’s actually helpful or I just spend more time reading the completions to make sure they are correct instead of just learning and typing it out myself.

I bet if you asked each of them if they could extend such a unique experience - one they're unlikely to experience again - would they say yes? IN. A. FCKING. HEARTBEAT.

The postive's overwhelm the negatives by an infinite amount.
I haven't except on one or two occasionally where I tried it to use me help figuring out how to refactor a bunch of functions quickly.

The downside of LLMs is that it doesn't remove your need to know your code. And writing code yourself is a very good way to know it.
I thought you were right, but I tested it on x86_64 GNU/Linux with this struct:

struct ts {
int32_t dword1;
int64_t qword1;
int32_t dword2;
};

Writing -1 to all 3 members and printing out the individual bytes up to sizeof(struct ts), it produces this with -O0 and -O3:

FF FF FF FF 00 00 00 00 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 00 00 00 00

With -Os, I get some garbage data after the last member (always those 2 byte positions, with different values every time):

FF FF FF FF 00 00 00 00 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 45 76 00 00

I feel like I'm missing something obvious here. Or maybe my system's ABI is a weird exception.
Of course there is danger. They're in space! Even when things are going to plan it's dangerous.
Even the pro-privacy groups disagree with you.

The (AI) Act leaves too much to the discretion of the Commission, secondary legislation or voluntary codes of conduct

https://ecnl.org/news/packed-loopholes-why-ai-act-fails-prot...

This is the problem with the DMA and AI acts. The specifics are not written into law. Everything is left up to the EU Commissioner to decide as each case presents itself. Which makes it impossible for companies to predict what their decisions will be. And why would they take the risk with such massive fines on the table.

This kind of regulatory uncertainty is toxic to business.

Also Apple didn't just not release Apple Intelligence in the EU. They've geo-blocked it so you specifically can't use it even in English. They would only do this for legal reasons.
>The comac airliner also directly competes with Boeing's beleaguered 737

Not in any remotely meaningful way. Some estimates suggest it will be more than a decade before Comac will have the manufacturing capacity to fill existing domestic orders (as of now they've built 9). Then there's the fact that their planes aren't nearly as fuel efficient as those from Boeing and Airbus - the engines may be imports but are neutered due to export restrictions. China's own airlines aren't even interested.
I’m a huge IRC fan and I dislike Discord, but all these other services are way too clunky and IRC is really only usable through IRCCloud that has a relatively okay mobile app these days.

Recently a very technical group I’m part of migrated from Telegram to Matrix and the user experience is just not very good. The apps are buggy, don’t look good, then in the new “Element” app SSO isn’t supported so I can’t use my account with it. There’s lots of paper cuts that are okay for someone like me who likes to figure it out but I’d never try to convince my friends to use it.

In civil aviation specifically jets, your AI pitch on the horizon does actually reference body angle not level flight. I wonder if it's a function of the precision and scale of mechanical AIs and also the wider flight regime of military aircraft.
I'm going to share my own insane idea for drawing down atmospheric CO2.

Capture CO2 as biomass or with direct air capture. Pyrolyze biomass to charcoal or use the Bosch reaction to recover pure carbon from CO2 chemically [1]. Then combine the carbon with silicon to form silicon carbide via the Acheson process:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acheson_process

Silicon carbide is extraordinarily resistant to mechanical erosion, oxidation, or any kind of natural degradation. Put the silicon carbide in a geologically stable desert and it could keep the carbon out of the carbon cycle until the sun grows hot enough to render the Earth uninhabitable. Continually extract and convert CO2 from the atmosphere and oceans until natural CO2 levels drop near zero and the desert is full of silicon carbide mountain ranges.

As a mere mitigation for AGW, this is a stinker. It requires an order of magnitude more energy and complexity than direct air capture of CO2 (which itself is already too energetically demanding and complex). But if you have the Sahara-sized robotic solar farm and industrial complex to put it into practice, it makes a great doomsday weapon!

Most actually-buildable doomsday weapons leave numerous survivors behind. Ordinary global nuclear war would barely deplete uncontacted tribes in the Amazon. Cockroaches would still survive cobalt salted nuclear warfare at the gigaton scale. Even an army of roving Terminators might eliminate multicellular life yet struggle to locate protozoans.

But I think that Total Carbon Sequestration could end all life, not just the visible-to-the-naked-eye species. All life needs carbon. And no species (save humans, via technological means) is capable of extracting carbon from silicon carbide. So with a hundred trillion dollar investment in a fully autonomous complex of solar farms, carbon capture facilities, and silicon carbide factories, I believe that we could solve global warming and end all life on Earth. Just like the Earth will do naturally in about a billion years [2] as CO2 levels fall, but up to 10,000 times faster! I'm still working on a funding model and a rationale for why this should be done at all, but some things are inspiring just because they're possible.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding this but this doesn't seem like an accurate explanation of overfitting:

> In machine learning (ML), overfitting is a pervasive phenomenon. We want to train an ML model to achieve some goal. We can't directly fit the model to the goal, so we instead train the model using some proxy which is similar to the goal

One of the pernicious aspects of overfitting is it occurs even if you can perfectly represent your goal via a training metric. In fact it's even worse simetimes as an incorrect training metric can indirectly help regularise the outcome.
Personally, that's a part of it. I might it find more tasteful if Shotwell and her team (the actual heroes) were ones getting the credit here, but Musk will get the headlines.

But it's not a political knee jerk reaction. It's an actual jerk reaction to him being such an actual jerk. The guy, and his current cohot, are distateful wankers. Excuse my English.

Recognition of good behaviour isn’t “simping”.

I really want to know… how did Apple hurt you?

I’m being serious. There’s a group of people here on HN (and Reddit) that have a seething hatred for Apple, but always for vague unstated reasons. The few reasons that are stated are always something like “they’re spying!” — said by people that prefer Google Android instead because clearly that is the paragon of user privacy.

So I ask you: please engage in conversation instead of name-calling.
Yes, popular parochialism is another common theme discussed in tech
critique. Each generation believes its technology to be an exceptional
pinnacle, disconnected from its antecedents. It starts to see the
world in no other terms. What you're saying feels like a reformulation
of McLuhan's "the medium is the message". People who see their world
only through the TV or smartphone screen can no longer "see" the
technology that undergirds it. Their world gets smaller, into a
Plato's cave if you like.
It was a neutral statement. If you read it (ha!) in "reddit snarky style" that's on you. Maybe reduce your reddit time?

Maybe it would be time for you to reflect on how much you implied in that simple sentence. None of what you said I implied or desired to do. It was simply my comment and opinion and contribution to the comment.
Except they do make a good point here. As much as I understand and share the sentiment 'imiric expressed, the comment is sloppy with its implications, and GP is right to point out that the regulation can have both good and bad effects, be praised for the former and criticized for latter, all at the same time, without any one being incorrect.

Unfortunately, normal people do have to be reminded of the basics, because they seem statistically unable to process nuance in any argument they already have an opinion on. The whole idea of winning an argument is a kind of weird normie thing, a sportsball game with words, which is fine as entertainment, but problematic when it gets confused for reasoning about things.
> there’s no emergency situation at the moment

It’s space. The ground state is emergency. I am training to be a pilot. Anything going off flight plan is an emergency. If ground control gives me corrective instructions, in the course of a mistake, I hope I will have the humility to not refuse its designation as a rescue.

The dark patterns to make the rejection 5 clicks while acceptance is just 1 click are not the responsibility of EU.
I disagree. To me it looks like Apple is trying to put the EU into bad light. They have already said they’ll bring AI to European countries in 2025 but for the whole summer the news was “the EU won’t let Apple bring AI to the masses.” Even my mother told me about it.

They are a trillion dollar company, it’s not like they don’t know what is and isn’t allowed by the law.
