It seems Claude (3.5 Sonnet) provided the longest summary for this discussion using basic single shot prompt for me:

After reviewing the Hacker News thread, here are some of the main repeating patterns I observed:

* Fatigue and frustration with AI hype: Many commenters expressed being tired of the constant AI hype and its application to every domain.
* Concerns about AI-generated content quality: There were recurring worries about AI producing low-quality, generic, or "soulless" content across various fields.
* Debate over AI's impact on jobs and creativity: Some argued AI would displace workers, while others felt it was just another tool that wouldn't replace human creativity and expertise.
* Skepticism about AI capabilities: Several commenters felt the current AI systems were overhyped and not as capable as claimed.
* Copyright and ethical concerns: Many raised issues about AI training on copyrighted material without permission or compensation.
* Polarized views on AI's future impact: There was a split between those excited about AI's potential and those worried about its negative effects.
* Comparisons to previous tech hypes: Some likened the AI boom to past technology bubbles like cryptocurrency or blockchain.
* Debate over regulation: Discussion on whether and how AI should be regulated.
* Concerns about AI's environmental impact: Mentions of AI's large carbon footprint.
* Meta-discussion about HN itself: Comments about how the discourse on HN has changed over time, particularly regarding AI.
* Capitalism critique: Some framed issues with AI as symptoms of larger problems with capitalism.
* Calls for embracing vs rejecting AI: A divide between those advocating for adopting AI tools and those preferring to avoid them.

These patterns reflect a community grappling with the rapid advancement and widespread adoption of AI technologies, showcasing a range of perspectives from enthusiasm to deep skepticism.
How long has that even been a regulation and in which countries does it apply? Software engineers are trained to view these kinds of things as bugs. Legal isn't trained to monitor bug trackers.
I love the idea of including links to some other blogposts about the same topic.
Perhaps someone on this thread will know the answer to this: is it possible to make V shaped grooves with a laser cutter, or would they end up stepped?

The number one thing I wish was addressed in future version of Python is the semantically significant whitespace.

Python is absolutely the worst language to work in with respect to code formatters. In any other language I can write my code, pressing enter or skipping enter however I want, and then the auto formatter just fixes it and makes it look like normal code. But in python, a forgotten space or an extra space, and it just gives up.

It wouldn't even take much, just add a "end" keyword and the LSP's could just take care of the rest.

GIL and JIT are nice, but please give me end.
Sure, but they’re also outbidding me for a house.
Content from Amusing Ourselves to Death presented as a visual comic to facilitate/"enhance" its communication is deeply ironic. Can't wait for the TikTok video.
One needs to use them in their personal lighting situations, not in a store.

I have both the current and prior iPad Pro version. IPS+Mini LED and the Tandem OLED. The IPS version was already great. The Tandem OLED is generally better, but often not by that much. It's also a bit brighter. Both are quite a bit better than the normal iPad displays.

I've seen the nano texture version of the Tandem OLED. Reflections are much less, but in brighter surroundings, the image is not that dark. But again, it all depends on the personal lighting situations.
I've tried this and the article misses a huge point. It looks like this prevents _every_ app on the phone from being uninstalled, not just the one declaring it.
I don't have this problem, and I've been writing Python for more than twenty years. Sure, I may have the occasional wrong space somewhere, but it's maybe a few times a month, whereas I'd otherwise have to type "end" for every single block.
Instacart has its own set of prices for the stores it pulls from. You're not doing true competitive shopping by using them, you're subject to whatever agreement they have with those chains and possibly individual product brands.
The Green Revolution, vaccines, and space exploration have been pretty great.
>What measures would you take to ensure this complies with relevant data protection regulations?

We hire devs to work on safety critical systems and do gauge for familiarity with standards applicable to our industry. This happens regardless of whether you're mid career or a new grad. I don't think it unreasonable to expect similar of devs working on systems where there are security or privacy considerations (which might as well be everything).
I wouldn't mind having second power supply just for a GPU if it meant I can play with AI locally.
The biggest reasons is that it isn't compatible with the python C API. So any library that uses the C API would have to be rewritten.
The day your wish is fullfilled is the day I stop working with Python. I can't stand all those useless braces everywhere, why are they there at all since good practice mandates proper indentation anyway?

I am at the point where I prefer single quotes for strings, instead of double quotes, just because they feel cleaner. And unfortunately pep8 sometimes mandates double quotes for reasons unknown.
Exactly, but the problem is that everyone has to be the first to publish about something and then every paper after that which deals with the same thing is relegated to second-level venues (or lower). So whatever is the first word about something becomes the accepted and is super hard to contest.

Maybe. Many laser cutters are 3dof so there is no way to tip the cutter to a different angle. Find one with a couple extra axis and then sure.

> Wow, an actual open source language model

I find it funny that the AI field has somehow normalised the goalpost moving from capabilities all the way to definitions about open source. And people seem really tribal about it...

There absolutely are open source LLMs already. Phi3.5 (MIT), various Mistral models (Apache2.0), various Qwen2 models (Apache2.0) and so on. LLamas are not open source, nor are Gemmas. But to say this is "an actual open source model" is weird nitpicking for the sake of nitpicking, IMO.

Requiring the methods and datasets that someone used to create some piece of IP is in no way a requirement for open sourcing said IP. It never has been!

Imagine this analogy:

A dev comes up with a way to generate source code that solves a real problem. This dev uses a secret seed, that only they know. The dev also uses thousands of hours of compute, and an algorithm that they created. At the end of the exercise they release the results on github, as follows:

- here is a project that takes in a piece of text in english, and translates it into french.

- the resulting source code is massive. 10 billions LOC. The lines of code are just if statements, all the way down, with some hardcoded integer values.

- source code licensed under Apache 2.0, written in let's say python.

- users can see the source code

- users can run the source code

- users can modify the source code and re-release the code

Now, would anyone pre LLMs say "this isn't true open source" because it's too complicated? Because no one can reasonably understand the source code? Because it uses hard coded int values? Because it's 10b LOC? Because the dev never shared how they got those values?

Of course not. The resulting code would have been open source because Apache 2.0 is open source.

It's the same with model weights. Just because they're not source code, and just because you don't know how they were created, it does not mean the weights are not open source.

You can see the weights. You can change the weights. You can re-distribute the weights. It's open source. The definition of something being open source does not cover you understanding why the weights are like they are. Nor do they require you having access to the methods of creating those weights. Or datasets. Or whatever the devs had for breakfast.
Fighting disinfo in MAGA era: Ari Melber talks with Steve Ballmer [video]
There's various versions, usually named weak version, strong and strongest. I don't remember which one is which, but the one I find interesting is "all publicly[1] available information is already incorporated into the prices". This is not a statement of absolute certainty but a statement on expected values. The reason I said your claim is dumb is that it's equivalent to "EMH says there's no infinite free money". I'm pretty sure everyone agrees there's no infinite free money, that's so obvious we don't even give a name to that hypothesis.

[1] how to define what publicly means exactly is also a question on itself which is important but not theain point here.

> One of the first things I learned in film school is _nothing_ in a production at that level is coincidence or serendipity.

Perhaps they should have taught you to be less sure of that. So many takes in movies that ended up being the best one are where a punch accidentally did land, something is ad-libbed, a dialogue is mixed up, etc.

To take an example of a very critically acclaimed show: in Breaking Bad the only reason we got Jonathan Banks in the role of Mike is because Bob Odenkirk had a scheduling conflict, and Banks improvised a slap during his audition. Paul Aaron even complained about it indicating that he would not have agreed to it.

Threads vs. Lightweight Threads
Thank you for that. I really enjoyed it. It resonates with me. I have lived in three different countries, and in my two non-native countries, I have enjoyed my life much more. I think part of it is that there I have been somewhat oblivious to the news and current politics of the new places I have lived. I get some of news and politics from my friends, but I do not follow it like I used to in my country of origin. I have also dramatically reduced my news consumption in my native country, because I am not there very often, and it does not preoccupy me so much anymore. Though I have not given up the news entirely, either in my home country or in my adopted countries, but less is, I feel, much better.

I understand, fully and deeply, why news and current events are important, but they are also a cancer. At least in the way that they are sold to us. I also get a sense that the negative effect that the news has our mental health is quite widespread around the world. As in, it is not unique to America or Britain or European countries, etc.
Have you considered testing with molecular modeling and protein folding?

i live by the sea and have a sea view. when a gust comes through to stir seadogs the color is darker in patches where there is wind in small areas. You cant havr choppy weather without some of this patchy color. also the white chop never goes straight up as in the videos, but it curls at least slightly.
The performance degradation with nogil is quoted as 20%. It can easily be as much as 50%.

The JIT does not seem to help much. All in all a very disappointing release that may be a reflection of the social and corporate issues in CPython.

A couple of people have discovered that they can milk CPython by promising features, silencing those who are not 100% enthusiastic and then underdeliver. Marketing takes care of the rest.
Just a minor correction: it's looking like the release will be 7th October, back from 2nd October, for the reasons discussed here:

Certainly depends on the country.
Well, first, your website won't explode just because you can't update the plugins. If it's running just fine now, it can probably keep running just fine for months.

Second, WP Engine can create their own repository of plugins to update their customers' plugins instead of relying on Wordpress.org.

Third, WP Engine customers can just leave to another host if WP Engine can't actually provide the service they are selling.
I live on the beach now and I have a view about 14 stories above the water also- and somehow its clear to me its fake. Its missing the dark patches from

My first thought was that "Game Boy" was a very generous description of a Flipper Zero, but the linked device [1] is indeed much more similar to the Anbernic-style emulator handhelds, which makes me wonder whether plausible deniability [2] was the main goal of the design, or just a convenient bonus on top of having shells and designs readily available.

Use Intel's mlc (memory latency checker) tool to measure your system. On a GCE instance I see about 97ns for RAM access. On a highly overclocked gaming computer with a small amount of RAM I see 60ns. Under load, latency usually drops to about 200ns. On workstation with a lot of RAM and cores I see it drop to a microsecond.
I suppose the craft/art view of coding will follow the path of chess - machines gradually overtake humans but it's still an artform to be good at, in some sense.
It is very impressive, and better than anything I've seen before but think something is bit off with the swell. If I had to explain I would say that high frequency waves don't travel on top of low frequency waves the way they do in the video.

Is the full memory bandwidth actually available to the CPU on M-series CPUs? Because that would seem like a waste of silicon to me, to have 200+ GB/s of past-LLC bandwidth for eight cores or so.
Neovim + ruff lsp. I have gone through many formatters to try and get this better, but it is always worse than any other language where whitespace is not semantic.

I believe digital reading could be more benifitial if better media were applied. This 2012 study invited "72 tenth graders read texts as PDF on a computer screen", which is simply bad.

For example, people spent hours exploring wikipedia, this could never be done with physical paper. I often find myself looking for Ctrl+F button holding a book. Interactive textbooks were posted on HN many times, like you can alter a numerical input and see graphs chaning in real time. This helps a lot for kids with limited imagination.

These days I can't live without an AI assistant. While reading, it's just so convenient just to ask. The AI might be wrong from time to time, so keep a critical mind, the AI is immensely helpful for foreign-language materials and complex acedemical papers.

Quote from Postman according to wikipedia[0]:

"the level of sensibility required to appreciate the music of Roger Waters is both different and lower than what is required to appreciate, let us say, a Chopin étude."

Ouch.

I actually got the album when it came out, and was roughly aware of the concept and the book from reviews in the music press. Had I known that it was comparing Orwell and Huxley I'd have definitely made the effort to read more. But this was before the internet so it wasn't easy (you had to do things like going to a public library), so technological progress is not all downside.

A laser cutter has no inherent depth control. But you can modulate the power, which depending on the exact laser+material combination will give varying depth. In "raster" mode it can be modulated continuous so smooth transitions/slopes are possible. But the exact effect will need to be tested on samples.
You’d be surprised, but from my first hand FAANG experience that is definitely not the case. Tooling can capture things that are known to it - but not everything is setup perfectly.

Here's a more interesting question. Is Effective Altruism wrong in idea or in execution? What would it look like if we had something like that done right?

(To me, so far, it seems more right than wrong, but feedback from people who disagree is very valuable.)

My own value system here is "minimize suffering". EA emphasizes more measurable metrics like death and disability, which is a fair proxy. Though I've also heard criticisms of the fundamental idea, and more broadly utilitarianism in the first place.

> I was comparing you to one. Just because you were working in a donut shop at that age doesn't mean that that's the benchmark for achievement. Some people go to the Olympics. I honestly don't know enough about Sam's achievements before then to know if he'd done impressive things.

Exactly. I was comparing myself to him when i mentioned that I worked at a donut shop. At that age I ( and many others) were indistinguishable from him. I went to an ivy league too btw.

Your olympian thing is absurd here because a teenager destined to be an olympian is indeed very distinguishable from his/her peers very easily, ppl can tell why this person is special.

You keep saying Sam was special ( next bill gates) but fail to tell me why. I asked you multiple times too , but instead you keep attacking me instead for not accepting circular "he is impressive because he is impressive" .

> But that wasn't anything specific to Sam; that's how it worked for everyone.

I just told you but you keep ignoring. Did PG mention anyone else was bill gates or Michael Jordan to his VC friends and publicly in interviews. (Ironic, given Michael Jordan is one the most impressive athletes that came from no where ). Or continuously give him leg up despite failed ventures ( loopt or whatever). I cannot think of anyone else who failed upwards like Sam because he had PG to back him with ridiculous and vacuous pumping of Sam's so called genius.
