I like inserting art, like the header to https://simonsarris.com

A village pops up. There is no point to it. You can click to make more houses. You can right-click to drag things around. When I touch it again I think I'll add a sun and moon that track the time of day for wherever the user is located. Actually the footer has art too, each page has a semi-randomly assigned illustration from public-domain (old) art that I've found. Like drawings from James McNeill Whistler, for instance. I use his illustrations in 'useful' websites too.

Actually, I experimented with the sun/moon a few years ago, in this version: https://simonsarris.github.io/simeville/

If you left-click drag the sun downwards, you'll see the moon come up. That one is open source, but the code is quite slapdash compared to the new one. Also you have to click ITS TIME TO BUILD to get the buildings.

In general I think websites could be a lot more pretty (gorgeous even), silly, interesting, and a lot less corporate chic than they currently are.
I would like to propose that reasoning needs an intermediate representation for it to be effective. Consider the scene graph representation in computer graphics. This scene graph is the intermediate representation. The algorithm is not reasoning about individual pixels of two objects interacting in the scene graph. It uses IR. Now for some that IR takes the form of language/words. For some it takes the form of visuals. For some, these are just abstract feelings.

Inflation can only come with an increase in the money supply and the money supply only increases by issuing debt, which carries more interest.
The Pro designates more than just the core count. If you look at the A18 vs A18 Pro, they’re not simply binned versions of each other.

The Pro includes features like better display controllers, thunderbolt support and more video codec silicon.

So it’s more fair to say this is a binned A17 Pro than what would fit if they removed the Pro nomenclature.
As the parent poster said:

And even PA-RISC had 64 bits. Itanium was just a processor trying to disrupt the RISC market.
"crocodile tail" is a thing. "Body" is very generic, what kind of body? "Without a body" might not do anything for the prompt, try it without.

"Crocodile with just the body" is probably understood as just "crocodile" because "crocodile without a body" isn't in the training set to understand the nuance of the negative.
What on earth are you talking about with MH370 and Germanwings 9525? Do you believe I'm claiming that the TSA prevents mentally unstable pilots from crashing passenger aircraft? In case that's actually what you understood me to be saying: no, that's not what I said.

> This is nothing to do with the TSA's security theatre; it's simply because most people don't want to die.

There are plenty of aspiring terrorists who are perfectly fine dying during their attacks... obviously...
I have a hard time wrapping my head around what you are proposing here.
Say client A requests data, they get the token a-abc. Then client B requests data, they get the token b-cde. Client A commits their write, does the storage reject it because they already issued another token (the one from client B) or does it accept it?

Except when Apple implements their apps poorly, like Find in Apple Music, whose hot key does not activate the menubar item and thus Cmd-F cannot be rebound. This also makes a lot of Electron apps’ hot keys unable to be rebound as well; VS Code faces this issue.
In my experience this underrates them. They can do pretty complex tasks that go well beyond your examples if prompted correctly.

The real limiting factor is not so much task complexity as the level of abstraction and indirection. If you have code that requires following a long chain of references to understand, LLMs will struggle to work with it.

For similar reasons, they also struggle with:

- generic types

- inheritance hierarchies

- long function call chains

- dependency injection

- deeply nested structures

They're also bad at counting, which can be an issue when dealing with concurrency—i.e. you started 5 operations concurrently at different points in your program and now need to block while waiting for 5 corresponding success or failure messages. Unless your code explicitly uses the number 5 somewhere, an LLM is often going to fail at counting the operations.

All in all, the main question I think in determining how well an LLM can do a task is whether the limiting factor for your task is knowledge or abstraction. If it's knowledge (the intricacies of some arcane OS API, for example), an LLM can do very well with good prompting even on quite large and complex tasks. If it's abstraction, it's likely to fail in all kinds of seemingly obvious ways.
Well the past two years showed us that the Fed (the institution that can create money out of thin air) will not do that if inflation goes up. Paying debt with money created from thin air will cause inflation and then the Fed will stop making money out of nothing.
I think it's possible they may. I used to get 50 - 150 of those "I hacked the camera on your computers and videoed you wacking. Pay me bitcoins and I won't release it to all your friends". Many come from .kz, .cn, .in, and various others. I'd notify those ISP NOCs that their networks are being used of obvious criminal activity and criminals love to break into servers and networks. I also put in bitcoin abuse reports using the IP addresses that sourced the emails.

Google addresses started show up about 4 - 6 months ago; their IPv6 addresses. So I prominently mentioned in those bitcoin abuse reports that google should make any effort at all to secure their servers and notified their NOC/security email addresses. I also mentioned their addresses would appear in those public bitcoin abuse reports.

After a couple of months the google addresses stopped appearing as sources.

NOTE: I used a honeypot email address to snare these emails.
> The words the model sees are "alligator", "tail", and "without", but without means nothing.

That's an old approach used in SD 1/2 level solutions - for gpt that answer is incorrect/outdated. We've moved past that approach. New models use sentence embeddings which can represent meaning beyond individual words - for example Flux uses T5. OpenAI has been using some form of that for quite a while.
I assume the chips in this thing are a bunch of lower-binned chips that were otherwise destined for iPhones. It's not uncommon for them to ship binned variants under the same name. They ship 8- and 10-core GPU variants of the base M3, and iirc the entry-level M1 MacBook Air had 7 GPU cores while the next config up had 8.
Bone-conducting headphones have been on the market since a while - the tech is mature is enough not to be expensive, and the sound quality is also okay, if you disregard the lack of bass (according to others' reviews). They pretty much work by resonating very quick on your temple.
The old housing stock certainly supports the notion that it was very wealthy at one point. NB reminds me of Troy, NY - another small but very wealthy city that fell on hard times when its main industries left. The presence of RPI seems to be helping Troy experience a bit of a renaissance. Hopefully, the new MBTA commuter rail connection will be a shot in the arm for New Bedford.

How would they know their traffic was csam? Traffic passing through an exit node is traffic between a Tor user and the open Internet. Who's running csam servers on the open Internet instead of as hidden services? And without https? Especially when Tor Browser enforces https? This story doesn't add up at all.

They did bust a site owner despite Tor, though. That story's true.

It is just the context, those of us who came all the way from 16bit 80286, 32bit 80386 to 64bit will read the 64bit a little differently.

Especially in today's world. Some level of Hardware understanding used to be a requirement. Now a days most developers grown up with abstractions they dont have to care about any of these any more.
Again, the people acted, not some abstract social technology - the people action created the change (contrary to your claim that it doesn't matter). Technology might help/enable to do certain things, but human action might or might not follow from that. Without human action things don't simply change (laws don't write themselves, societies don't constitute themselves from technology only, ...). The presence of different societal model at the same time with the same technologies available shows that human action makes the difference.

It seemed like most players in tech a few years ago were using legal shenanigans to dodge liability here, which, to me, indicates a lack of seriousness toward the safety implications.
This (in addition to cosmic radiation) is why we will probably not have bases on the surface of the moon. We’ll need some mass over our heads to survive.

I don't mean to argue that it's just gimmick and any sane person would just use sand, but to be completely fair, sand is much less dense than steel, so if the coins pack well it does make a better weight.

I do also suspect that there must be some product that must be more cost effective than coins but denser than sand, but cannot think of it right away. I mean, scrap steel is a couple of cents per kg.
> edit: if it isn't clear I'm a staunch opponent of cryptocurrency in any form.

It's very clear, but your exposure to zealots, on both sides, shouldn't deter you from being objective and seeing what these technologies actually offer. Hence why i wrote that part in the 2nd to last paragraph.

HN has such misinfored vitriol for any technology it didn't ordain itself, you sem to be of that cohort, what's odd is that very same people who gave you VC.SV funded startup land are all major backers of this technology.

I can just summarize this in one phrase: you seem to collectively not know, what you don't know and make leaps in logic and misinformed judgments from that POV.
I don't trust Apple's software acumen to be opinionated in a way that puts it ahead of the curve. I got rid of my Mac for this reason - Homebrew and third-party distributors fight against Apple to get their apps to behave the way they want them to between minor updates.

On top of that, Apple's first-party offerings haven't proven at all that they can stand on their own. Metal is entirely ignored as a 3D API for serious applications and it's most impressive demos are Japanese gachapon games for iPhone. Their hardware isn't competitive with Nvidia despite their advanced access to TSMC nodes and their software isn't even remotely gunning to replace CUDA or adopt a similar featureset a-la Apple's own (retired) OpenCL. They have given up on anything that doesn't entail a) locking in their users or b) making recurring revenue from services. They spurned Khronos, abandoned cross-platform API support and stopped competing on stats... for what? Why?

I think it's fine if you support this on a personal or ideological level because it doesn't bother you. But you also have to admit that the average user won't ever spend more than 5 minutes with AI features because they buy iPads to watch YouTube and porn, not design sports cars and rocket engines. Apple is building features for a market that doesn't exist while entirely neglecting rational uses of their time and development talent. It's absolutely pitiful to see a business as large as Apple fall that far - they deserve everything antitrust regulation has to give.
That doesn't mean that light (causality) couldn't be faster, right? You could increase the speed of light (causality) as much as you want and wouldn't run into any paradox.
Someone did an analysis of that site on tiktok or YouTube. It's using some tricks to speed things up, like preloading the html for the next page on hover and then replacing the shell of the page on click. So pre-rendering and prefetching. Pretty simple to do and effective apparently.

>What will be the advantage of having a bunch of obsolete hardware? All I see is more e-waste.

The energy build out, data centers are not wasted. You can swap out A100 GPUs for BH200 GPUs in the same datacenter. A100s will be 5 years old when Blackwell is out - which is just about right for how long datacenter chips are expected to last.

I do, however, think that the industry will move to newer hardware faster to try to squeeze as much efficiency as possible due to the energy bottleneck. Therefore, I expect TSMC's N2 nodes to have huge demand. In fact, TSMC themselves have said designs for N2 far outnumber N3 at the same stage of the node. This is most likely due to AI companies that want to increase efficiency due to the lack of electricity.
No, raising rate would bring the economy to a slower pace and reduce private sector consumer demand. Private sector investment can continue to increase but at some point that too will hit a brick wall. The public sector spending depends on which type of big ego people get to make decisions. Given the extreme excesses so far it can go either way. The now extinct fiscal conservatives might just make a return finally but don’t hold your breath.

Yeah - I find it 'odd' that people think they should be able to get a job in a month or with only sending out 20 resumes...Things have been so good the last 10+ years, that seems to be the 'new normal' and now its tightened up again, people are shocked.

I always figure 3-6 months to find a good position, probably because I started in the 80s and remember all the tight job markets between then and now. For me, 3-6 months seemed to be 'normal'.

I guess its a huge shock when all you've seen are the 'good times', but all fields/careers go thru boom-bust cycles. I seem to recall hearing we had a glut of lawyers and new grads couldn't find work.
This is the main "killer feature" I've personally experienced from GPT things: a much better contextual "search engine-ish" tool for combing through and correlating different internal data sources (slack, wiki, jira, github branches, etc).

AI code assistants have been a net neutral for me (they get enough idioms in C++ slightly incorrect that I have to spend a lot of time just reading the generated code thoroughly), but being able to say "tell me what the timeline for feature X is" and have it comb through a bunch of internal docs / tickets / git commit messages, etc, and give me a coherent answer with links is amazing.

Some people are motivated by more than just financial incentive.
For me it is for instance my involvement in the demo-scene in the 90’s.

A concrete example is Nikki, a demo released in 96 and captured (with some technical difficulties) by a friend here https://youtu.be/t8o-uuq73UU?si=4dlTla0s2mDCVzCK

Working on anything “useless” is profoundly life changing and “useful” on the long run!

Only now am I able to do more similar stuff (my current research is around music + code + lightning and videos, this time connected to real life performances), and it is massively pleasurable (and also likely one of the most technical types of work I will be working on for now!)

Could be Amazon and AWS instead or in addition. Google's cloud team has large offices around Seattle as well.

It's nonsensical anyway since Washington gets most of its electricity from hydropower so a nuclear reactor near enough to Seattle to affect it has no reason to exist.

My feeling is (current) AI is more of a teacher than an implementor. It really does help when learning about something new or to give you ideas about directions to take. The actual code however still needs to be written by humans for the most part it seems.

AI is a great tool and does speed things up massively, it just doesn't align with the magical thought that we provide the ideas and AI does all of the grunt work. In general, always better to form mental models about things based on actual evidence as opposed to fantasy (and there is a lot of fantasy involved at the moment). This doesn't mean being pessimistic about potential future advancements however. It is just very hard to predict what the shape of those improvements will be.

The actual physical fiber was useful after the companies popped though.

GPUs are different, unless things go very poorly, these GPUs should be pretty much obsolete after 10 years.

The ecosystem for GPGPU software and the ability to design and manufacture new GPUs might be like fiber. But that is different because it doesn’t become a useful thing at rest, it only works while Nvidia (or some successor) is still running.

I do think that ecosystem will stick around. Whatever the next thing after AI is, I bet Nvidia has a good enough stack at this point to pivot to it. They are the vendor for these high-throughput devices: CPU vendors will never keep up with their ability to just go wider, and coders are good enough nowadays to not need the crutch of lower latency that CPUs provide (well actually we just call frameworks written by cleverer people, but borrowing smarts is a form of cleverness).

But we do need somebody to keep releasing new versions of CUDA.

Agreed. Soyuz is old but reliable and SpaceX is new and reliable. Why go for something in between ?
This is just an opinion.
The only way forward with automated and autonomous vehicles is through industry cooperation and standardization. The Tesla approach to the problem is inadequate, lacking means for interoperability, and relying on inferior detection mechanisms.
Somebody who solves these problems and does it by offering interoperability and standards applied to all automakers wins.

Sold Tesla investments. The company is on an unprofitable downward spiral trajectory. The CEO is a total clown. Reinvested on advise in Diamler, after Mercedes-Benz and Diamler Trucks North America demonstrated their research and work into creating true autonomous technology and safe global industry standardizations.
If that's your opinion, then define intelligence in a meaningful/reductive fashion (not just "i know it when i see it"), then defend this opinion based on that!
> LLMs are great for simple, common tasks, i.e. CRUD apps, RESTful web endpoints

i gave it a yaml and asked it to generate a json call to rest api . It missed a bunch of keys and made up a random new key. I threw out the whole thing and did it with awk/sed.
This is partly why I believe OS makers, Apple, Microsoft, Google, have a huge advantage in the future when it comes to LLMs.

They control the OS so they can combine and feed all your digital information to an LLM in a seamless way. However, in the very long term, I think their advantage will go away because at some point, LLMs could get so good that you don't need an OS like iOS anymore. An LLM could simply become standalone - and function without a traditional OS.

Therefore, I think the advantage for iOS, Android, Windows will increase in the next few years, but less powerful after that.
Very interesting choice of using Cypher[0]

In 2014, we built a similar type event-driven system (but specifically for document distribution (a document can be distributed to a target set of entities; if a new entity is added, we need to resolve which distributions match)) and also ended up using Cypher via Neo4j (because of the complex taxonomical structure of how we mapped entities).

It is a super underrated query language and while most of the queries could also be translated to relational SQL, Cypher's linear construction using WITH clauses is far, far easier to reason about, IMO.

EDIT: feel like the devs went overboard with the mix of languages. Shoehorned in C# Blazor? Using JS and Jest for e2e testing?
