I've seen something similar happen and think I figured out the reason. Weather forecasts in my area were very accurate for decades, then they got much worse. They were off in timing for events, and incorrect about whether rain was going to fall or not. Then I realized that the change happened around the time the local nuclear power plant was shut down. The plant had been funding a local weather station and weather radio station as part of government requirements to provide early warning of problems to citizens. When the plant shut down the weather station went with it. So NOAA was no longer getting accurate data from this area and the forecasts were off because of that. I've been thinking of setting up my own station and linking it into the public data to see if that makes forecasts get more accurate.
I believe it is absolutely suitable for generating controllers in java spring or connecting to database and making a simple query which from my experience as an ordinary enterprise developer in Fintech is most of the job. Making these huge applicatins is a lot of repetitive work and integrations. Not a work that usually requires some advanced logic.
This is the first time they have not obscenely limited their starter offerings with 8GB RAM. The time it took them to do that is just pathetic. Now I guess this will happen until how long? Maybe 2034 - and starting RAM 16GB. I wish I could say it's a welcome change but in 2024 for such overpriced machine if they are starting with 16GB RAM then that's anything but special. Also, I am sure the SSDs and RAMs are still soldered tight :)

If only they could allow their iPads to be used as a Mac screen natively I might buy a Mini and an iPad and get done with it two use cases but why would Apple want users to be able to do that without extra expense.
You can do a background check. That’s not where the asymmetry is, though. The pandemic checks have showed that the asymmetry can be flipped but then almost everyone working low-tier (flipping burgers) will quit his work. The Fed has then decided to re-enslave these people. Someone gotta take the garbage.
As much as I share the frustration, what does Google gain from providing a better service?

Its only serious competitor is Bing, which isn't even a search engine anymore but a billboard for Microsoft to advertise ChatGPT.
That study shows 4o, o1-mini and o1-preview's new scores are all within margin error on 4/5 of their new benchmarks(some even see increases). The one that isn't involves changing more than names.

Changing names does not affect the performance of Sota models.
Good catch. Unfortunately my RSS app isn’t displaying the feed. First time I’ve ever encountered this. I’ve reached out to Unread app developer to see if there’s a fix.
> First, I infer the gender of users from their usernames and the information provided on their profiles, labeling users as feminine, masculine, ambiguous, and anonymous.

This isn't going to give accurate results. It's common for those who are female to conceal this fact, with neutral usernames and profiles, to avoid harassment from predatory males.

Similiarly, there are many males who present with a feminine username and profile for various reasons, such as a desire to be female.

To be fair, the claim wasn't that it always produced the wrong answer, just that there exists circumstances where it does. A pair of examples where it was correct hardly justifies a "demonstrably false" response.

i like how people say that ai can only write "trivial" code well or without mistakes. but what about from the point of view of the AI? writing "trivial" code is probably almost exactly as much of a challenge as writing the most complex code a human could ever write. the scales are not the same. dont allow yourself to feel so safe..
Think of all the menial stuff you must perform regardless of experience level. E.g. you change the return type of a function and now you have to unpack the results slightly differently. Traditional automated tools fail at this. But if you show some examples to Cursor, it quickly catches on to the pattern and start autocompleting semi-automatically (semi because you still have to put the cursor to the right place but then you can tab, tab, tab…).
>Similiarly, there are many males who present with a feminine username and profile for various reasons, such as a desire to be female.

If you could actually get accurate data identifying which programmers are actually male or female, and which male programmers desire to be female, I wonder if you'd see a quantifiable difference in their code compared to regular males.
haha that is not what managers do. Managers follow their KPIs exactly. If their KPIs say they get payed a bonus if profit goes up, then manager does smart number stuff and sees "if we fire 15% of employees this year, my pay goes up 63%" and then that happens
A graviton is the smallest possible unit of a gravitational wave. The amplitude of the wave corresponds to the number of gravitons, like you said, and its frequency to their frequency (quantum particles have frequencies that are related to their momenta). We're aware that light, at least, works like that.
Why would that matter? Pretty sure running in a VM doesn't facilitate cheating.
Somehow I got downvoted for pointing this out, but it's weird that you have to spend an extra $800 USD just to be able to surpass 48gb, and "upgrading" to the base level Max chip decreases your ram limit, especially when the M4 Pro on the Mac Mini goes up to 64gb. Like... that's a shit load of cash to put out if you need more ram but don't care for more cores. I was really hoping to finally upgrade to something with 64gb, or maybe 96 or 128 if it decreased in price, but it's they removed the 96 and kept 64 and 128 severely out of reach.

Do I get 2 extra CPU cores, build a budget gaming PC, or subscribe to creative suite for 2.5 years!?
No doubt this is true for you, but my search usage patterns are quite different. 100 searches in a day is nbd for me, sometimes I go through that in a few hours.
I've been lightly using ollama on the m1 max and 64gb RAM. Not a power user but enough for code completions.

Strange take. These things are being put forward by major companies who hire very good engineers. Riot Games makes the most popular game in the entire world (League of Legends) and they use kernel-level anti-cheating. I interviewed with them and found their test to be one of the more difficult ones I’ve taken. I’m not under the impression they lack the necessary knowledge.

The industry as a whole is trying its best to not rely on Qualcomm, given its extremely litigious past. Apple already tried once to avoid using their chips for the iPhone's modem, which I seem to recall failed. When it comes to devices for enterprise, it's less of a gamble because the cost can be passed on to orgs who are less price sensitive.
FYI - Denuvo paid for that study.
I visited an international hospital in Saigon to have a skin infection drained and cleaned and bandaged. I remember them charging me around $14. Strange, as surely the nurse used more than $14 in PPE and bandages.

International hospitals in Singapore and Malaysia will be more normally priced, but still a small fraction of what you'd spend in USA.
While transgenderism is by no means common, it is unusually
frequent in programmers, and by my observation even more so in more productive programmers who are more likely to be selected if selecting people from code written. The ‘programmer socks’ meme does appear to have some merit.
I realize "did you actually read the article" is against HN guidelines, but what else am I supposed to say when I see this at the top of the comment thread?

I mean when you say "Google can't please all of the sites all of the time, or all the visitors.", I wholeheartedly agree, but this blog post was excellently sourced with data that shows exactly how Google raising sites that any reasonable human would say are considerably shittier than this site that is getting down ranked. It also seems pretty clear that the things that have changed are Google's ranking algorithm at specific points.

> They probably use machine learning too. There may be no reason for the lost rankings other than a wind change caused by some updated parameters in an OKR chasing model.

That is literally what TFA says in the very first section: "Some people believe they have lost control of their AI ranking systems, ..."
TL;DR They gendered people based on name stereotypes and ran Pylint against their code.

Methodology seems questionable.

By their own definitions earlier in the article, it seems like Pylint would provide biased results.
The whole one about the stateful blob of an object with all optional attributes got me real good. Been fighting that for years. But the dev that writes this produces code faster than me and understands parts of the system no one else does and doesn't speak great English, so it continues. And the company is still afloat. So who's right in the end? And does it matter?

The strategy is to funnel most users onto an ipad-like platform at most where they have basic productivity apps like word or excel but no ability to run general purpose programs.

Meanwhile you have a minimal set of developers with the ability to run arbitrary programs, and you can go from there with surveillance on MacOS like having every executable tagged with the developer's ID.

The greater the distance between the developer and the user, the more you can charge people to use programs instead of just copying them. But you can go much further under the guise of "quality control".
Do they really have a choice?
No, that's timeless.
That's why you should use butter because it's well known and you can test if you're eating too much.
>That study very clearly shows 4o, o1-mini and o1-preview's new scores are all within margin error on 4/5 of their new benchmarks.

Which figure are you referring to? For instance figure 8a shows a -32.0% accuracy drop when an insignificant change was added to the question. It's unclear how that's "within the margin of error" or "Changing names does not affect the performance of Sota models".
> "But for information-seeking queries, Google tries to give you organic results."

No, often it absolutely doesn't, and I posted two epic fails here previously. Worse still, Google organic results no longer understand(/distinguish) the difference between information-seeking queries vs product searches (or else, SEO people have been gaming it for years, and Google search rankings have made this worse):

____________________________________________________________

1) Google search relevance fail: result for “Africa longitude” https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30337563

Googling for "Africa longitude" should return a range of longitudes, like: "17.5°W - 51.5°E" or
"["17°31′13″W - 51°27′52″E"]" [1], or for the A+ answer:
*"Africa lies between 17°33'22" W, (Cape Verde, westernmost point) and 51°27'52" E, (Ras Hafun, Somalia, easternmost projection).

But it doesn't. Moreover these coordinates haven't substantially changed in 10,000 years (other than political/territorial disputes about islands, but the coords for the mainland certainyl haven't).

Googling returns the grossly misleading "Africa/Coordinates 8.7832° S, 34.5085° E". When you dig into why this so, it seems to be "optimized" for the SEO activities of a digital map storefront, MapsofWorld.com, acquired by MapSherpa Inc., based in Ottawa.
And those mystery nonsense coordinates ("8.7832° S, 34.5085° E") bizarrely point not even to the geographical centre of Africa but to a random rural location 2400km ESE away, in southern Tanzania, which appears to have been deceptively mislabeled, in Cyrillic, as a Russian store (by Russian SEO?). For a pin dropped in rural Tanzania. No QA!

2) Google search for "How many landings on dark side of moon" is grossly incorrect

(Update: the AI overview factbox has at least since been corrected to give Two: "Chang'e 4 (January 3, 2019) and Chang'e 6 (2024), instead of repeating what jagranjosh.com says).

However the #1 organic search hit is still the woefully inaccurate unauthoritative page:
https://www.jagranjosh.com/general-knowledge/list-of-all-suc...
which cheerfully claims "Aug 23, 2023 — There are over 21[!!] moon missions that have been launched successfully on the dark side of the moon by 4 countries."

This is hopelessly wrong, even if we utterly misunderstood the key word "landing" and also count any mission which merely photographed the dark side (Luna 3, 1959) or human overflight over it (Apollo 8, 1968). But not "landing".

And why on earth did Google decide jagranjosh.com was more authoritative than any reference website or wiki?

It depends where, in France we had only one state controled company that gave use the lowest prices in Europe and became an international leader in the domain, until under pressure from activists and Germany we introduced competition and cut EDF in small pieces.
I would say that competition is good for energy only if you depend on importation.
Pebble might be the best hackable. They’re discontinued, not sure how much used ones go for on eBay. But it was ahead of its time, I don’t think there was a wearable that useful until the Apple Watch. No cel, no gps, just the basics.
I hope this dataset is used to probe the wrong answers much more than try to get all the answers correct. I don't need LLMs to know everything, but I do need them to know what they don't know. That's not a capability that comes naturally to a probabilistic sampling of tokens.

The ideal 'progress' on this benchmark is for a model to remove incorrect answers and replace them with I don't know answers. Even if it hurts the correct answer count a bit I'd gladly make that tradeoff for a model that hallucinated far less often.
This is my main concern. What's the point of other tools when none of the LLMs have been trained on it and you need to deliver yesterday?

It's an insanely conservative tool
yeah, this is by far the most interesting part of this page, the fact that LLMs can know what they know is not a trivial fact.
At its scale google could just hire a big group of diverse internet-aware professionals (two of each kind) who would do random searches and simply manually ban sites that restyle or spam content. It’s absolutely easy for a searcher to tell if it’s spam.

Over the years my coder colleagues have been about 95% male and 5% female. Of them, I rate about 80% of the males as producers of quality code, and about 95% of the females as such. That's just my experience and my subjective scores.
The premise is that "Women code differently, but no worse .."

ie. Stylistic differences likely arising from in-group dynamics, cross reading, pair programming, etc.

As such there's likely no implicity { transgender, male, female } style, more various styles that are more pronounced in groups that cluster, be that male programmers, female coders, transgender hackers, google devs, etc.

Using https://github.com/kvcache-ai/ktransformers/, an intel/amd laptop with 128GB RAM and 16GB VRAM can run the IQ4_XS quant and decode about 4-7 token/s, depending on RAM speed and context size.

Using llama.cpp, the decoding speed is about half of that.

Mac with 128GB RAM should be able to run the Q3 quant, with faster decoding speed but slower prefilling speed.

For most gamers you'd have to invoke Cloud Strike, to explain whats happening. They play games not study CS.
Everyone here is arguing about the average AI code quality and I'm here just not believing the claim.

Is Google out there monitoring the IDE activity of every engineer, logging the amount of code created, by what, lines, characters, and how it was generated? Dubious.
A 2004 G4 iBook has been unsupported for any software for decades, let alone Chrome who was first released in 2008. I don't know if they actually ever made an official PPC version of Chrome but I doubt it.

You are a liar but a bad one.

You can like Macs, you can prefer it, you can rationalise the added cost any way you want.
But the fact is, Macs do not have any more useful life than PCs if your price matches them.
You play the role of the typical Apple fanboy who compares a 1.5k MacBook to a random crappy Lenovo that was on sale for less than 500.
The Mac is better/longer lasting. It's almost as if price convey some sort of information on quality...

There are absolutely zero indicators that Microsoft will ever STOP being privacy-invasive.

> I think most programmers who claim that LLMs aren't useful are reacting emotionally. They don't want LLMs to be useful because, in their eyes, that would lower the status of programming.

I think revealing the domain each programmer works in and asking in hose domains would reveal obvious trends. I imagine if you work in Web that you'll get workable enough AI gen code, but something like High Performance computing would get slop worse than copying and lasting the first result on Stackoverflow.

A model is only as good as its learning set, and not all types are code are readily able to be indexable.
At first glance, it looks like this is almost JavaScript (or TypeScript), but with imports removed / implied. (Sort of like Arduino is almost C++.)

I'm wondering if the same functionality would be available as an actual JavaScript library, or whether there is something special (other than syntactic sugar) that requires a different file type?

If the Romulans were talking to the Klingons over a link secured by the quantum no-cloning theorem, the Enterprise could use quantized gravity to entangle the ship's computer with their adversaries' quantum radios in a way that no matter-based shielding could prevent.

By this logic wouldn't chess and go need to be played after cavity searches? Cheating is enabled by tech but based on what people decide to do.
Yeah, style != quality
Running a VM gives the parent the ability to read/write arbitrary memory without [even rootkit] anticheat being able to detect, which can facilitate cheating, and therefore can earn you bans. The whole point of the rootkit is that the game can confirm that you don’t have any way to read/write arbitrary memory.
Don't be hard on yourself. I recall times when Rustaceans eagerly marketed "memory safety" to mean "safety" in general. Sometimes even extending "safety" to mean "bug free".

I chalk up the confusion to true believers playing the motte-and-bailey game. When the marketing meaning feels good, they use it all over the place. Then, when the substance doesn't live up to the hype, the fans retreat to the technical definition. This is not a new phenomena: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41994254
