Last week I had a similar idea as you. I created a webpage called https://zeli.app that automatically helps you parse the content of posts from the HN homepage, rewrite the titles, and generate abstracts.

So, I ended up with these post fragments, and I tried feeding these title + abstract lists to Claude 3.5 Sonnet to string them together into a 5-minute English podcast, emphasizing on making these fragments flow cohesively.

Honestly, I wasn't completely satisfied with the results because the topics switched too quickly, and each post only had 2-3 sentence introductions, making it sound less interesting.

Anyway, it was exciting to find someone with a similar idea as me, but I still think the lack of interesting content is the main issue.

No. This isn't a Hanlon's Razor scenario.

If you look at what he did it was definitely 100% actively malicious. For instance, his attack only executes when running on >256 GPUs. He inserted random sleeps to slow down training time and was knowledgeable enough to understand how to break various aspects of the loss function.

He then sat in meetings and adjusted his attacks when people were getting close to solving the problem.
I’ve run the equivalent process at my company and I absolutely want us to figure out who took the triggering actions, what data/signals they were looking at, what exactly they did, etc.

If you don’t know what happened and can’t ask more details about it, how can you possibly reduce the likelihood (or impact) of it in the future?

Finding out in detail who did it does not require you to punish that person and having a track record of not punishing them helps you find out the details in future incidents.

Oh I agree, producing text by llms which is expected to be produced by human is at least deceiving and probably plagiarising. It's also skipping some important work, if we're talking about some person trying to detect it at all, usually in education context.

Student don't have to perform research or study for the given task, they need to acquire an example of text suitable for reproducing their style, text structure, to create an impression of being produced by hand, so the original task could be avoided. You have to have at least one corpus of your own work for this to work, or an adequate substitute. And you still could reject works by their content, but we are specifically talking about llm smell.

I was talking about the task of detecting llm generated text which is incredibly hard if any effort is made, while some people have an impression that it's trivially easy. It leads to unfair outcomes while giving false confidence to e.g. teachers that llms are adequately accounted for.
I was laughing recently when at some place they started to install MS software on all Linux machines to integrate them into Azure. At that point you should just stop and think for a while about it. Didn’t you go for Linux because you wanted to have a reliable system?

"Imposing an invariant speed of causality to the Lorentz transformations" does not sound quite right. I think it is more like assuming that the Lorentz transformations are the true symmetry of mechanics. If one wants to keep that causal, there cannot be information moving faster than the speed of light because there is a reference frame where said information would be moving backwards in time.
Kudos for publishing in OOPSLA, but alas I'm skeptical. This seems to add visual clutter/mental overhead as one needs to parse a decision tree rather than having a "flat" sequence of patterns with the optional when-condition.

Also,

need to destructure the pair, even when only one of its components is needed

Can't one just bind the unneeded component to _ ? Isn't that actually a good thing, as it clearly self-documents we won't need that value on that branch?

I'd be cautious about that, because it means the kids with undiagnosed ADHD who are functionally incapable of studying without enforced assignments will just completely crash and burn without absorbing any of the material at all.

Or, at least, that's what happened to me in the one and only pre-college class I ever had where "all work is self-study and only the tests count" was the rule.

Correction: if you want to know if your compiler is correct, you look at the ISO standard. But even as a compiler writer, the ISO standard is not exhaustive. For example the ISO standard doesn't define stuff like include directories, static or dynamic linking, etc.
We may well need to invent new mechanisms for teaching, but I don't expect that to appear overnight.

The point of essays is not to have essays written. The teacher already knows. The point is to practice putting together a coherent thought. The process, not the product, is a the goal.

Eventually we'll come up with a way to demonstrate that along with, rather than despite, AI. But for the moment we have machines that can do the assignment much better than students can, and the students won't get any better if they let the machine do all of the work.

You could select which storage approach on a per table level. That way the new characteristics don’t surprise anyone.
/64 acts as a soft limit due to the prevalence of SLAAC. Which is good in a way, since it means ISPs have to give out at least /64, which means you're always able to subnet (although you can't use SLAAC and must use static addresses or DHCP) unlike IPv4 where you have to pay for extra addresses.

One of the best resources to understand "why would I not ... ?" in a data intensive context is Kleppmann's Designing Data-Intensive Applications[1] (mentioned elsewhere in the comments). There's a lot of nuance to why event streaming wins out over periodically "polling" a database, mostly about maintaining correctness while being able to scale horizontally.

Taking a look at the Kafka docs [2] is also enlightening.

> userbinator: "When someone assumes you know what English-speaking country they're referring to, it is likely to be the US."

I normally take a bit of a "dim" view of generalizing certain behaviors to an entire nation's population, but this one's spot-on for certain, and I say this as an English speaking U.S.-born citizen that's lived here all my life, and pretty much grew up "online" (had Internet access since the early days, and even before that I was on local and "long-distance" BBSs quite frequently).

When this specific sort of assumption is made online or in writing / speech, it's almost always "The U.S." Totally too many folks here have a "weird world" inside their mind where there is only "here" and "everywhere else", and "everywhere else" only really matters at all if it somehow "infringes" upon the personal-space of their social-media mandated "rage button".

A high school I worked at had a similar system in place called Evolv. It’s not a metal detector, but it did successfully catch a student with a loaded gun in his backpack. Granted, he didn’t mean to bring the gun to school. I think it’s stupid to believe that kids who want to bring a gun to school will arrive on time to school. They often arrive late when security procedures like bag scanning are not in place.

IO redirection doesn't construct a pipe, but piping does.

# Open foo.txt and use it as fd 0 in jq
<foo.txt jq '[1,2,3]'
# Create a pipe(). Use the write end as cat's fd 1 and the read end as jq's fd 0
cat foo.txt | jq '[1,2,3]'

Best thing would be a directed graph where each node is a process or a file. A process has at most one edge going into it (stdin) and at most two coming out (stdout and stderr). A file has exactly one edge touching it.

Hard to do in text, though. Would look like lisp.

Sorry, but I fail to see where the problem is. Any general purpose ISA designed in the past 40 years can handle 8/16/32 bit integers just fine regardless of the register size. That includes the 64-bit x86-64 or ARM64 from which you are typing.

The are a few historical architectures that couldn't handle smaller integers, like the first generation Alpha, but:

a) those are long dead.

b) hardware engineers learnt from their mistake and no modern general purpose architecture has repeated it (specialized architectures like DSP and GPU are another story though).

c) worst case scenario, you can simulate it in software.
I want to clarify that they actually did build a transistor-like device, and not just hypothesize about it. I missed section 3.2 when I initially skimmed the paper, which demonstrates and shows the results of a working “transistor”.

Unfortunately I can’t edit my original post, so apologies for causing any confusion.
I'm a professional writer and test AI and AI detectors ever other month.

Plagiarism detectors kinda work, but you can always use one to locate plagiarized sections and fix them yourself.

I have a plagiarism rate under 5%, usually coming from the use of well known phrases.

An AI usually has over 10%.

Obviously that doesn't help in an academic context when people mark their citations.

The perplexity checks don't work, as humans seem to vary highly in that regard. Some of my own text has less perplexity as a comparable AI text.
Why? We've done it for ages, most trust in Wikipedia, and before most trusted in encyclopedias. Books written by others have been used forever. We just shift where we place the trust over time.
That is really cool. I am very much into learning with the support of AI.

Last month I started to learn Rust and I used this prompt to help me:

'I am an experienced software engineer who wants to learn Rust, design a learning path for 3 months, with daily goals. Try to have a good balance of learning and working exercises using available resources like Rustlings or Learn rust by example. Output this path in markdown and add space to gather my learnings in a note at the end of each week.'

Maybe with some tweaks can be useful to someone else!
What does TPM has to do with this? Microsoft is cutting support for CPU generations irrelevant to TPM support. It's just a cutoff CPU makers told them to add.

Thank you for that and for everything you wrote above it. I completely agree, and you put it much better than I could have.

I teach at a university in Japan. We started struggling with such issues in 2017, soon after Google Translate suddenly got better and nonnative writers became able to use it to produce okay writing in English or another second language. Discussions about how to respond continued among educators—with no consensus being reached—until the release of ChatGPT, which kicked the problem into overdrive. As you say, new approaches to education are absolutely necessary, but finding them and getting stakeholders to agree to them is proving to be very, very difficult.
Some of the larger Danish ISP has explained that they do not offer IPv6, because there's no demand. I very much doubt that they have any demand for IPv4 either, because most people don't know and don't care how the internet is delivered to them.

Okay, I wasn't aware of this. I've played another game named Oddsparks Automation Adventure where the "conveyor belts" are individual units that carry items, and the throughput is calculated by how long the walking track is combined with how many units are on that track.

I don't really have the will to do the math in my head either, specially since things may change frequently as you upgrade/add/remove things and a throughput at one place causes a cascading change throughout the production chain.
Same here. The Cody autocomplete is so off base all the time that it’s deactivated.

I serve Cody a direct question about 1-3 times a week. Of that, it gets maybe 50% correct on the first try. I don’t bother with a second try because by then I’ve already spent the equivalent amount of time looking at the relevant library source code and/or docs would have taken.
Idk about Meta, but Google is also pretty soul draining these days. Pre-Pichai it was a pretty cool place, but that was ages ago.

Exactly. It's not the legality of weapons, but the easy availability of them that causes the issues.

It seems to me like victim blaming for U.S. schools to have active shooter drills - it makes more sense to have much better training and screening of gun owners than trying to train the victims. However, given that the NRA is excessively powerful in U.S. politics, I can see why they are necessary, but it just seems easier to me to stop kids from being able to get hold of guns (e.g. have some rudimentary screening for gun purchases and require owners to keep them in locked cabinets when they are not in use).
Yes and no. From a practical point of view considering sync code as async is useless as sync and async code have very different usability characteristics and it is useful to have different names for the two domains.

On the other hand, form a more abstract, theoretical level, it is important to know that there is almost always an event loop at some point deep in the stack and sync code is just sugar over async and you can always transform from one to the other.

I believe this approaches some of the ideas put forward for the forerunner of UNESCO:

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

Personally, I dislike idea, as competition can be a powerful motivator in science. I think three things would go a long way to improving the current situation: (1) more rigorous peer review, perhaps even paid reviews or something like bug bounties, to incentivise scrutiny; (2) the normalisation of replication; and (3) publication of negative results, so the community can quicky identify if something is not replicating.

I think you're right here. I'm forgetting about "entertainment".

This will never replace my visits to HN because it's not efficient. Unless it uses neurolink to beam the information into my mind, that's always going to be the case. It fails in that way.

However, let's consider a podcast. You get 5 people that are entertaining, knowledgeable about technology, well spoken, and have differing opinions, and get them to spend 30 minutes talking about the top HN posts. It's slow, they would most likely not even discuss my favourite posts, but yet, I would consider listening. Is it possible to replicate that with AI? Could AI digest the content and all of the comments, and turn it into an entertaining and educational discussion and debate between a few different AI voices?

I think it's possible, and it changes the idea from being an inefficient method of summarizing content, to a form of entertainment. That could be the right direction to go with this kind of project. However, even if AI perfectly replicates a great podcast, how would I feel listening to it? I think this question applies to most AI content. How important is the human process in the content we consume? Do people only care about the end result, or do they want read a book written by a person, view photos taken by a person, listen to songs performed by a person, and listen to a podcast by real people?

Rust is experimenting with "portable SIMD": https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/simd/index.html

It defines a generic `Simd<T, N>` type, expressing "This is a vector of T elements (such as i8), and is present in chunks of N". Methods that are easily vectorisable are defined on it, so if you can express what you want to do with one, you'll get well defined vectorised operations. Maybe not as perfect as you could hand write if you know what you're doing, but it _does_ guarantee to use vector instructions, so you're not at the behest of the compiler recognising a loop idiom.
