My theory at this point would be that top management for their printing division must be an ex-HP consumer that got so pissed off with the printing crap at the time that decided to infiltrate the company and dedicate its life to ruin HP printers in every conceivable way. What else could it be?
Happened to me too and was wondering whether this was on purpose or not. Figured out the blog template is probably broken. Two column layout, both equal width on 100% container... That can't go well...
It’s look gorgeous, it feels gorgeous, but I’m sadly stuck in my organization because the OAuth support doesn’t expose enough knobs. (I.e. what if it isn’t OIDC? What if it requires one non-standard scope and nothing else? What if there’s no encryption key seemingly to be found? Etc.)
I expect it to be $2000+ MSRP. They don’t have to worry about AMD competition in the high-end. (They didn’t last time either, but there were strong rumors they would and they had the 4090 Ti ready for that eventuality). They’ll also be aware of its value for AI and what people are willing to pay for it.

I think there’s a small oversight in the release notes:

> In that case, upgrade to 3.4.0 without changing the default and enable xxHash in 3.5.0 or later so you can roll back to 3.4.0 then.

This should probably say 3.4.1, not 3.4.0, in the two places in that sentence where it says 3.4.0. Right?

Don't forget social media. I mean, we have some of the smartest, best paid people on the planet incentivized to use every bit of data they can to hack your evolutionary biology to keep you scroll, scroll, scrolling.

I think one reason I've sadly become quite disillusioned with technology is because I see it less and less as a tool for improving the human condition, and more about creating addiction machines to siphon ever increasing amounts of money from the system.
The financial industrial complex will make money on transaction fees selling the stock to their clients, institutional or otherwise. They don't need it to actually succeed in the long-term - as it is the clients, people's money, on the line, e.g. incentives aren't aligned properly.
That’s a pretty insane power draw if true. What would you even do with that power? The best graphics engine is still probably on a game that’s 3 years old by now.

I want to love this idea but I'm extremely skeptical you can automate "keeping the bad stuff out of it".

It's basically moderation, or a subdomain if you will, and I'm not sure there any place or product that currently has fully automated moderation that works. There's always a human involved if you want to do it properly.
Every now and then I lookup whether or not there is an OSS printer and am left disappointed.
Right but you’re defining integrity in a different way than anyone who has ever raised $10b and had a company (or whatever you want to call OpenAI, I have never really known how to refer to its unique arrangement) that was worth $150b and rapidly climbing.

They would tell you (and sincerely believe it) that it being a for profit is better for a whole list of reasons. They believe they have integrity. They don’t believe they’ve lost their soul. They believe they’re doing a whole lot of good for the world.

That’s my point. The denizens of HN think they lack integrity for this, I think they just define it differently and anyone playing for trillions would define it their way.
That’s what a spy would say…!
Yes totally! The framing of "web graffiti" was something I played with, but didn't like the association with spam or purely artistic purpose.
When smart and dedicated people are allowed time to think, plan and execute instead of being constantly forced to sacrifice everything at the altar of next-quarter results, the quality of the output tends to be better.
It's shocking to me that the very same groups that want you to think drug legalization is a good idea are pearl clutching over gambling. In the grand rankings of vices, drugs are significantly worse.

Gambling is a vice, no doubt, but honestly Americans are too puritanical about it.
As others said, it depends who you ask. The Augustinian view was that usury isn't defined by the rate but when, and I'm explaining this rather poorly, interest is charged for the use of money. Hence "usury." So a typical American mortgage would be usurious in the Augustinian definition, even if the interest rate were, say, 1%.

The alternative non-usurious loan would require you to post some other kind of security to receive the money, such as giving the lender the use of some other productive land until the principal debt is paid. More like pawning something at a pawn shop and then buying it back when you get paid.
This sounds to me like a straw man argument. Obviously 2+2 will always give you 4, in any modern LLM, and even just in the Chrome address bar.

Can you offer a real situation where we should expect the LLM to return a deterministic answer and should rightly be concerned that we're getting a stochastic one?
Predicting it well enough for real world uses is a myth/delusion, yes, but predicting it well enough for entertainment purposes in a flight simulator is an entirely different, and much more mistake-tolerant, proposition.
There's also "estoppel by laches", which boils down to "you waited too long". Guarantee that's going to be part of WPE's defense too. Then there's the fact that a8c actually invested in WPE while this supposed infringement was taking place.

> ...replication protocol that allows you to synchronise casually connected instances...

That single featurte right there was why i first had started playing with couchDB several years ago. It really had been quite awesome! I think other features that help it really help with offline-first approaches also are really cool! But, ultimately, after playing with it (and really liking it), i just didn't have a need for too many personal use-cases....since sqlite was "good enough". I thought - and still believe - that for wider (maybe corporate/enterprise?) uses, it can still fit the need....but i don;t hear much buzzz about it in general...so in my case, i stopped using it, and forgot about it. Apologies to any devs behind it, no offnese meant...i just got my personal use-cases covered by sqlite...and on enterprise side, too many internal politics to convince stakeholders that couchdb would be better than other solutions in some use cases.

Also, the documentation back in the day to get started was ok-ish, but there didn't seem to be much around....i guess it could be one of those things where it is/was a great thing...but if not enough attention and use exists, then it won;t trigger a wider audience of devs who will also document more stuff and further triugger a virtuous cycle?

Anyway, good to see the devs are still at it! :-)
Every new generation of GPU seems larger and more power-hungry than their predecessor. Is there any effort to produce faster GPUs that are smaller and use less power?
The US has pretty strict laws against its citizens from gambling on the Internet. Other countries could pass similar laws for their own citizens.

> foreign interest in US sport is limited.

I am pretty sure that American baseball is very popular in the Carribbean and Japan. And American basketball is very popular in China due to the legacy of Yao Ming.
> No one was going for any team in particular. They were cheering for their bets to win. I lost all interest in the idea of me ever gambling after this.

You’re negative here — and I think you know it.

Wowza, calling me “triggered” and an “addict” because I enjoy something differently than you and thought your comment was negative isn’t appropriate.

I think your response here confirms my initial impression that you have issues with this topic.

> everyone deserves privacy

Definitely not users (useds?) of proprietary software. Use monitors for privacy they do not have any urge to phone home.

I agree that the testing should be ubiquitous but if the device is crooked it is no sense in trying to figure up how exactly crooked it is. Maybe it uses steganography, maybe it is able to detect MiTM devices, some TVsets cease to keep working if the internal memory is 100% filled with pictures of what are you watching so no extra knowledge about the crooked device is useful if you have already agree to have Pavlik Morozov with microphone and videocam right in your bedroom.
Two major reasons:

Capacitive losses. They're worse in water (dielectric), but they're there in air lines as well.

Compatibility and isolation of grids. If grid A is 35 degrees from grid B it's very hard to couple them. Also, cascading failures tend not cross DC boundaries.
Yes, but the yard is Canadian owned. I suppose it was Russian-owned before.

But the combination of foreign ownership together with exporting know-how, this combination is kind of how one loses an industry to some other country; and then upon that there's that you can't even sell to the country that owns the company because of protectionism on their part.

> I wouldn't trust them to not block my transactions and leave me stranded on vacation somewhere

I have multiple credit cards. And a debit card, and cash. It's advisable to notify the credit card company if you plan to travel. Most card websites and apps have a feature for this.

> I don't trust them to revert fraud transactions if they ever happen.

This might be a European thing. In the US credit card issuers are liable for any fraudulent transactions by law.
Here is another example [0]. 95% of the code was taken as it is from the examples of the documentation. If you still need to read the code after it was generated, you may have well read the documentation first.

When they say treat it like an intern, I'm so confused. An intern is there to grow and hopefully replace you as you get promoted or leave. The tasks you assign to him are purposely kept simple for him to learn the craft. The monotonous ones should be done by the computer.

Yes. 2.8% is kept by the business. vs 40-60% by a bookie.
I think this is an interesting concept! Please don't let the negative comments get to you.

One suggestion is to maybe allow users/community to have a walled garden in regards to writing rights. This would help with moderation, and allow users to subscribe to the walled gardens/bubbles they are most interested in.
> you're basically saying it's in the public's interest to give more power to Intellectual Property law

Not necessarily. An alternative could be to say that all models trained on data which hasn't been explicitly licensed for AI-training should be made public.
> The Tcl language is made up of commands

As someone that is stubbornly trying to design a Smalltalk-Forth hybrid syntax, where everything is words, nay, messages in a declarative/concatenative pipeline, without success, reading this makes me inappropriately giddy.

I need to learn Tcl.
That industry will only form if LLMs don't improve from here. But the evidence, both theoretical and empirical, is quite the opposite. In fact one of the core reasons transformers gained so much traction is because they scale so well.

If nothing really changes in 3-5 years, then I'd call it a flop. But the writing is on the wall that "scale = smarts", and what we have today still looks like a foundational stage for LLM's.
Crop insurance is partially subsidized, but I am personally not a buyer. What fun is gambling if you’re going to insure the gamble? But I could theoretically benefit from that, to be sure. The farm property tax rate is lower than the commercial rate, so I guess you could say we're subsidized like residential property owners are. I can't think of anything else that is applicable to my farming operation. My country only really likes dairy and poultry producers, of which I am neither.

Hard to say what indirect support is out there. What is and isn't an indirect subsidy is always debatable. The government brings in temporary workers from foreign countries to work at the coffee shop in town, which perhaps, if you believe such action reduces the price of labour, makes life around agricultural areas more affordable. Would you consider that an indirect subsidy to farmers?

The roads are maintained which helps get our product out. Is that a subsidy to farmers? Or is that a subsidy to those on the receiving end? Or is it really a subsidy to the “city folk” driving on those roads to get to their cottage?

The government recently paid a privately-owned ISP to put in a second fibre line in the rural area alongside where the cooperatively-owned ISP already placed one a decade earlier. That is a clear subsidy, but do you consider that a subsidy to the farmer (We theoretically gained some redundancy, although I doubt anyone is making use of it. Internet service to the farm isn't usually that critical, especially when you also have wireless – both mobile and fixed – service available as a backup. Frankly, it was a complete waste of money), or to the ISP?

Yeah I was considering that idea too, like a trusted circle feature. But haven't done any user management yet as this is purely an experiment. Agree automation can only go so far, but at least that can catch the low hanging fruit.
Id say the best i ever done was to practice recall. Just try to think about the subject when you are bored, recall facts, add some concious integration after the learning.
Sure. Is a private free for all better though?
Curious does anyone use the secondaries private platforms like https://forgeglobal.com/ to get exposure to OpenAI or similar pre-IPO tech companies?
The other thing I’d add is a mandatory system where people can tell the company not to allow them to bet with a lengthy time delay (say 90 days) to remove themselves from the list. Most people with problems know they have them at least some of the time and it’s important to give them tools to prevent moments of weakness.
> The joke is that this is all rather performative when the lifetime of the device isn't as long as it could be

I don't replace my phone every 6/12 months and I don't really want to replace the battery so frequently either, mainly because of the hassle.

I've noticed that some people get really insecure/defensive about this question, and have this urge to prove that optimizing your battery usage can't be worth it.

But isn't it plain obvious that it's a trade-off which can come out differently based on your subjective priorities?
Your browser probably reads printcap to get the printers already. So, the same way you already print from the browser. You can also print to pdf and then send the pdf to the printer from the commandline.
This isn't some "freedom" issue, it's an incredibly huge power asymmetry and I think "we the people" need protection from these forces

No thank you, I can protect myself.
Yeah AI can give you a good base if its something thats been done before (which admittedly, 99% of SE projects are), especially in the target language.

Yeah, if you want tic-tac-toe or snake, you can simply ask ChatGPT and it will spit out something reasonable.

But this is not much better than a search engine/framework to be honest.

Asking it to be "creative" or to tweak existing code however ...

Prior to legalized sports betting, was "state violence" used against people who bet on sports as a casual hobby? It seems like it was basically tolerated as long as it was kept amongst friends/coworkers, etc.
With ZFS that wouldn't necessarily help. I've been using ZFS at work for many years with mostly large files. Even if I repeatedly read the same file as fast as possible, ZFS will not cache the entire thing in memory (there's no shortage of RAM so that's not it). This is unlike most linux filesystems, which are usually pretty aggressive with caching.

Maybe there is some combination of settings that will get it to cache more aggressively; just saying that it's not a given that it will do so.
I've donated to archival efforts before and, as many, would be happy to chip in for this one. It doesn't seem possible though and we don't know why it appears stalled.

Have you ever seen a network printer announce itself by talking to a print daemon on port 631?

I’ve seen network printers announce themselves over DNS-SD/mDNS and over NetBIOS, AppleTalk, etc. All of those are a layer beneath the print daemon.

Cool article. They are saying to use a regular book as a way of numerically referencing your message, but then aren't you limited to some generic phrase from that book?

It seems to me, at least in pre-computer times, that a regular book would work fairly well as a one-time pad. Especially something widely available, innocuous, and very long, like a bible. You'd probably want to add something like an offset, and a rule to skip letters (e.g. use every 3rd letter) so there are no real words to provide predictability. Guessing the book, offset, and skip rule would be a massive space- on the order of billions of possibilities. With modern computers of course, this method would be easy to crack.
No, those have very different characteristics. This is a variant on annotation.
With LLM's like gemini, which have massive context windows, you can just drop the full documentation for anything in the context window. It dramatically improves output.
I read the NY Times article that someone else linked to in the thread.

I've been in semiconductor / chip design for almost 30 years at 8 different companies including 2 that owned their own fabs. I've also worked on 2 different AI accelerator chips.

Altman sounds like someone who has no idea about the industry. The numbers in the article are laughable.

This quote summed it up.

> It is still unclear how all this would work. OpenAI has tried to assemble a loose federation of companies, including data center builders like Microsoft as well as investors and chipmakers. But the particulars of who would pay the money, who would get it and what they would even build are hazy.

He's trying to get a bunch of diverse companies including Microsoft to fund this but it's unclear what kind of chips he actually wants. Many of the big companies including Microsoft are designing their own custom AI chips.

But the article mentions Nvidia. Does OpenAI have any plans to design their own chips or do they just use Nvidia? It may be difficult to get Nvidia competitors to want to join his effort.

> TSMC makes semiconductors for Nvidia, the leading developer of A.I. chips. The plan would allow Nvidia to churn out more chips. OpenAI and other companies would use those chips in more A.I. data centers.
The other day I decided to write a script (that I needed for a project, but ancillary, not core code) entirely with CoPilot. It wasn't particularly long (maybe 100 lines of python). It worked. But I had to iterate so much with the LLM, repeating instructions, fixing stuff that didn't run, that it took a fair bit longer than if I had just written it myself. And this was a fairly vanilla data science type of script.

"Smart" goods in a nutshell. The hardware is a trojan horse to get it into your possession, where the manufacturer uses it as a platform for useless---if not self-serving---software.
Pre 1970s it was something you did at the on-track TOTE and in Bingo Halls/Working Mens Clubs.

Games of skill with money wagered have always been a significant part of Western European society, starting with the Equestrian Aristocratic classes and funnelling all the way down to the 'Football Pools' and the national pastimes of putting a wager down for the Grand National or Cheltenham festivals, legitimised by social events like Ladies Day or Student Race Week.

There are multiple ways of 'fairer' gambling - exchange markets like Betfair rather than sportsbook being the current epitome. The main issue is lack of legislation around targeting vulnerable demographics and those suffering from addictive traits - and that's an advertising rather than a gambling issue.
