For sure, economic assessment is one way to figure out what to do.

When we as a civilization making decisions ending up where we are now (depleted soil and what else not looming). It does make one wonder if the current financial incentives is NOT aligned with the incentives of living beings on the planet? How can we make it so?

Where and when did that misalignment happened?

600-150 is a bigger number than 30 last time I checked. So even if the $30 machine were to loose all its remaining value instantly, not even scrap metal, you would be far, far ahead.

These are the dollar numbers claimed in the above post.
At one time I experimented with reverse engineering API from HAR files to automatically generate open API spec then client.

It actually worked decently well but of course there where edge cases and i was thinking of giving it a shot more recently to fill the gaps with LLMs.

Pretty cool to see someone take this idea much further and make it a service and I feel like theres even more potential here, and not just for integrations.
> "cyclometric"

it's cyclotopic, a term they coined. I suggest the intro section juxtaposing trigonometry vs 'circular' approaches might best be read as guidance as to how interested high school students (their past selves?) might think about the topic rather than a necessary preface for their paper.
There's always "better" of course, but my point was more that "can't see the pixels" doesn't usually mean "I can't see the pixels if I sit back from the display a bit". When the iPhone 4 was introduced, no one said "what's the difference, I can just hold my (other phone) away from my face further and I don't see the pixels!"

Can you reference an example that shows this phenomenon with angled lines? I haven't had an eye test specifically, but my vision is generally fine, and I don't see the effect you're referring to, on for example a lower-case "y".

> Say we had various factories for producing goods around the world, and different factories requested the same inputs in different amounts. An algorithm could probably calculate how much of each input it should distribute to those factories.

That's a manufacturing planning system. Each product has a bill of materials, and all those parts have to be present before the product is assembled. Factories which make many similar products either have to have very good systems to get all the parts in the right place at the right time, or carry excessive inventories. It's not a market-based system. The main goal is minimizing stalls, where production stops due to lack of a part. The cost of stalls usually dominates the cost of the parts, because revenue is zero until the product is complete.
Xorg-x11-server: heap-based buffer overflow privilege escalation vulnerability
Makes us really happy to hear this!
As a kid doing some urban exploring... I encountered a pentaconta crossbar in the wild, around ~1976. It was in a cinder block building on the grounds of a resort hotel behind an unlocked door. I turned on the single bulb hanging from the ceiling and beheld its awesome beauty in that room with bare grimy walls. Two racks just for the crossbars. And of course it was operational, routing three-digit calls between hotel rooms, room service and 'dial 9' outside.

It was a 'private branch exchange' built by ITT. Our own local telephone company had crossbar switches in use until 1980 but I never got to see those until 1987 -- when I was working at the phone company itself (owned by ITT actually!). The entire function of the the ground floor with its banks of crossbar switching cabinets had long since been routed upstairs to an ITT 1210 digital switch, and line cards of four lines each in dense racks also upstairs, and all voice traffic and several trunk functions with other adjacent digital exchanges (classes 3,4,5) was exchanged on a digital bus.

The crossbar beasts had been silent on the floor below for years, waiting for a potential buyer (perhaps in Central America) that was still committed to this reliable technology. That buyer never happened, and they were finally acquired for copper and gold, with the provision that the cabinets not be swept. Every one had a pile of metallic dust in the bottom.

But I'll never forget the smaller beast that connected the hotel, the slaps of call routing and teardown, the stepping relays counting digit dialling and redialing trunks. Many people still alive today feel an emotional connection to this technology. Fewer and fewer.
yeah ! you are right ofcourse. i think it is too late to edit the title now unfortunately.
YouTube Q3 Ad Revenue Beats Forecasts, Rising 12% to $8.92B
I can see why the developer doesn't bother: the UI would need to be very different. SmartTube is meant for use on TVs, not on touchscreens, so it has no touch UI at all and is designed for use with a remote control. There's some other apps that basically do the same thing, but on Android mobile, such as ReVanced I think.
> Secondly, you're assuming malice where it doesn't appear there is any.

I take such an extreme case of misrepresentation / exaggeration as an attempt to mislead readers, which for me is malice.

> Why comment at all if you only want to point out disagreement

I didn't point out a disagreement, but a wrong fact.

> Meanwhile, googling "marijuana death penalty singapore" turns up way, way too many results for this to be likely to be an entirely false claim

Let me cite from the article you linked: "The man, ..., had been imprisoned for seven years and convicted in 2019 for trafficking around 1.5 kilograms (3.3 pounds) of cannabis" - how is that strengthening op's case that you get executed for smoking a joint?

> So from my perspective you basically killed the conversation while contributing nothing of value.

I'm happy to discuss things once facts are settled. You're killing the conversation by this weird insistence that setting facts straight is wrong?
BRCM is becoming more like a service company designing ASICs for other companies who want custom ASICs. There are many companies who do this? How is this news?

BRCM is a leader in SerDes along with Marvell and other companies. There is so many IPs from Synopsys and Cadence that in turn many of these chip companies use. Not sure what is hoopla here. Nobody is going to completely vertically integrate all these IPs.

The post shows where the cost is - storage and bandwidth. With IRC servers you're not expected to serve the all the history forever, with a website around it, persistent subscriptions, outbound queued notifications, etc. On IRC people also pretty much expect missed messages and splits from time to time. Those are very different services.

No relationship to the author, but this makes it into running a commercial service.

So, at a rough guess you need:

- Some kind of company entity for all this to belong to, possibly a LLC, and all the associated paperwork that goes with it.

- Bank accounts and some way to handle card payments

- Some level of requirement to provide customer service/support, at least for billing related issues

- Have to now also deal with card fraud, refunds, disputes, charge-backs - even if you use some service that will handle most of it, you'd still need some level of involvement

- Have to handle billing related tech stuff - issuing bills, ensuring accounts are activated/deactivated based on billing events

- And now you need to charge enough to cover all of the above, and your time, and the time of any professionals involved in the above

Starts to sound like at least a part time job. The OP may not want to go there.

For my personal projects that I provide as a service to others, I do them for the fun of it. In the past I've bailed or cut access to them when they've started to feel like a job.

I'm assuming by bullshitting you mean differentiating between LLM hallucinations and a human with low confidence in their code.

I've found that LLMs do sometimes acknowledge hallucinations. But really the check is much easier than a PR/questioning an author - just run the code given by the copilot and check that it works, just as if you typed it yourself.
>Standards like PKCS #7 have been designed with a reasonable level of care to allow one-pass processing. For example hashed and signed data has the hash algorithm information before the data so you know you should hash the data as you process it, and the actual hash value at the end.

>To avoid this, provide the ability to tag nasty surprises onto the end of the data with no warning that they're going to be there, so that the implementation has to go back to the start of the data and process it a second time.

I feel this sort of thing is obvious to software engineers, but not obvious to most people who write standards. DJB succeeded in revolutionizing cryptography because he was a programmer.
What's the difference between this and a generic photo from one of the dozens stock photo catalogs? Is this somehow "cheaper" because it's "AI" generated? Using stock photos is also cheap (free or cents per)...

Second, does anyone really care? Has anyone spent more than half a second looking at a generic picture on an unrelated article? Does the generic hoodie hacker look good on security articles? Or the earth with pretty links on a networking article? Or the overdone handshake on a deal article? They feel equally as cheap and more importantly equally unimportant. It's a placeholder that noone should really care about.

Third, what's the value of having human beings spend time on an image that's just there to fill space? I kinda get the argument for company identity and things that matter, but filler for an article? Nah, that's exactly where we shouldn't be spending human resources, IMO.
There are a bunch of large storage needs that macOS does not let you put on an external drive, like your synced Photos library and iMessage history.

Kicking off with a logical fallacy, strong start.

>There is "change", sure - the chip is now every so slightly faster, it can do "AI things", it can take slightly better photos, etc.

Just say you're technologically uninformed.

>But any comparison of these changes with the previous model for an average use case

Kathy using Instagram while she waits in line at the supermarket is not a useful point of comparison when we're comparing iterative improvements, keep up.

>Apple could have easily skipped releasing a new model this year, packaged exactly the same hardware and released the iPhone 16 the next year and fundamentally nothing would've changed.

What an absolutely ridiculous statement.

>But the shareholders won't like that, will they?

Low IQ statement.
I think you’re right, sorry for having missed it in that case.
I would like to see actual research into dyslexia vs spelling systems, because I've tried to find it and I haven't been able to. Instead I see only claims as the above, which, so far, appear to be based on "common sense", which doesn't actually work here. Common sense says that languages with complicated spelling rules (English, French) should affect dyslectics more than straight-forward languages like Italian and Finnish, but it doesn't, to any noticeable effect.

As an individual I only have anecdotal "evidence", but for what it's worth - I already mentioned that I've seen dyslexia in Japanese children, but not only that - I've also seen that dyslectic bi-lingual children have dyslexia both in Japanese and in their European language.

Unless I see real evidence I'll continue to assume that dyslexia is simply under-reported in e.g. Japan. As has been the case for so many other things - nobody speaks of lactose intolerance in Japan, though it obviously exists.
Nice, that's cool to hear (best computer), but yeah I suppose it has some inherent "rarity" to it. One of the nice things about the ThinkPads is their popularity/"ubiquitousness" (is that a word?) - I have like, five X230's at this point! So easy to find an amazing deal on one if you're patient. But yeah, these are really starting to show their age. Still fine to use overall, but it can be pretty limiting at times.
Part of what is so nutty is that 36 fabs don't cost $7T. That would put the cost of each fab at around $200B.
Yeah I think the lack of game code available to train on could be a problem. There's a fair amount of "black art" type problems in games too that a LLM may struggle with just because there's not a lot to go on.

Additionally the problems of custom engines and game specific patterns.

That being said there's parts of games with boilerplate code like any application. In a past game as I was finishing it up some of this AI stuff was first becoming useable and I experimented with generating some boilerplate classes with high level descriptions of what I wanted and it did a pretty decent job.

I think some of the most significant productivity gains for games is going to be less on the code side and more in the technical art space.
That's a monopoly
Mass/Maas uses European results in his blog often, often commenting that the European predictions for the PNW are more accurate. So, fine, that's great. Why does the US have to keep up? Will it stop the decline of the Empire? Is it a stab in the heart of our world posture? Are we doomed to having to be the best at everything for all of eternity? I don't get it.

I'm more upset about all the interest being paid on the US national debt that -could- have been spent on something great instead.

Why?

If there is technology and established protocols to prevent spoofing, but some ISPs refuse to follow these protocols, why should it be your burden to prove it wasn’t you?

Is it reasonable to allow people to get credit cards with your SSN, when it’s physically possible to confirm their identity when they present your SSN, but the bank is too lazy to do it, and we put it on you to show up and cancel the credit cards? And of course present 3rd party attestation that it wasn’t you who did this. Maybe even bring an alibi?

I hope I misunderstood your comment.

I can't see the current state of technology, because I'm not in OpenAI's closed labs.

No, it wasn't because of vocabulary, which has only very slowly increased over time. The reading difference is instant and very noticeable. I can't read hiragana fast enough (matching speech) to follow subtitles which are all in hiragana, for example, while I can if there's kanji (though only if I can read it, there's still lots I can't read). This can be changed forth and back and tested with sites like Animelon, for example.
Do you really think those "extremely competent and high spirited developers" haven't tried? Not only that there are numerous attempts to extend or replace IRC, but those attempts generally understood what is fundamentally different between an ephemeral room-base chatting protocol and a protocol that allows efficient traversal, aggregation and streaming of possibly large social graph and interactions.
Nikolas from Prisma here! I've been around for almost 8 years (since the Graphcool days) and this description is pretty accurate but I can add a bit more color. The major product evolutions we've had were:

- Graphcool: A GraphQL BaaS written in Scala.

- Prisma 1 (see [1]): A GraphQL proxy server between DB and app server. This was essentially the "GraphQL engine" of Graphcool that we ripped out and made it available as an open-source component. However, its auto-generated CRUD GraphQL API never was meant to be consumed by a frontend. Instead, it was the abstraction layer for the app server to interact with the DB (at first only for GraphQL APIs on the app server via `prisma-binding`, then the first version of Prisma Client that worked with any API layer — both of these were thin JS/TS layers that talked to the GraphQL proxy server where the actual DB queries were generated).

- Prisma 2+ aka Prisma ORM (see [3]): We realized that with Prisma 1, we were essentially competing with ORMs but that our architecture was way too complex (devs needed to stand up and manage an entire server where other ORMs could be used with a simple `npm install`). So, we rewrote the Scala "DB-to-GraphQL" engine in Rust to be able to provision it via a download during `npm install` and run it as a sidecar process on the app server, added a migration system and Prisma ORM was born. That being said, it has evolved a lot since then. We dropped GraphQL in favor of a way more efficient wire protocol [4] and have continuously reduced the footprint and responsibility of the query engine (e.g. you can now use Prisma ORM with standard Node.js DB drivers [5]).

If you want more details, I talked more about this evolution on Twitter [6] a while ago.

This launch is a huge milestone for us and it's definitely one of the most exciting launches I've been a part of at Prisma!

There is no such guarantee in C99:

7.5 ¶2: [...] and `errno` which expands to a modifiable lvalue that has type `int`, the value of which is set to a positive error number by several library functions. It is unspecified whether `errno` is a macro or an identifier declared with external linkage. If a macro definition is suppressed in order to access an actual object, or a program defines an identifier with the name `errno`, the behavior is undefined.

7.5 ¶3: The value of `errno` is zero at program startup, but is never set to zero by any library function. The value of `errno` may be set to nonzero by a library function call whether or not there is an error, provided the use of `errno` is not documented in the description of the function in this International Standard.

The fact that `errno` can expand to an lvalue does reflect what is required for multithreading implementations among others, but that's about all.

Ask HN: ChatGPT Misses Major Updates?
As someone working with LLMs, I’ve noticed an interesting gap around knowledge cutoffs and "recent" feature support. For example, GitHub introduced LaTeX math rendering in Markdown in May 2022. Despite a 2023 knowledge cutoff, some models like GPT-4o don’t seem aware of this change, while others like Claude 3.5 Sonnet do recognize it but defer to outdated information if cross-referenced with another model.

Why would a model trained with data up to 2023 overlook a significant update on a widely-used platform like GitHub? Could it reflect selective data filtering during training, limitations on incorporating certain types of updates post-cutoff, or perhaps something specific to how different LLMs process and prioritize technical information?

What are your thoughts?

"Nobody has demonstrated it (publicly), so it cannot exist anytime soon" is not a very good argument IMO.

Your post reads a bit like that nobel prize winner who in the 90's said the internet would become similar marginal technology as fax machines. Just because nobody had demonstrated any revolutionairy use case for it at the time.
