It makes me uncomfortable. No particular rational reason, I just don't like it.
Privacy and likeness rights, that kind of thing. And licenses expiring on stock photos or whatever's in the background.

That is amazing. Mine lasted for a super long time as well, and like you, I upgraded everything to its max. I think it was the last model with a 17 inch screen.

Sold mine last year for $100 to some dude who claimed to have some software that only runs on that specific laptop. I didn't question it.
You didn't actually ask or open a dialogue; you made a prescriptive statement with a built-in expectation. When you say, "I look forward to your blog post" you're essentially assigning them work based on your own interpretation of their interests.

It’s not really about whether you sound nice or if sarcasm is preemptively dismissed. The problem is that there's no actual invitation or question and it comes across as presumptive and entitled.

What makes it even harder to take seriously is the follow-up: "[a]nd I mean that honestly, no sarcasm at all!" That line doesn't sit well, because it suggests you knew how it might come across but chose to push it anyway. A bit more curiosity or an open-ended question could have made all the difference here.
there are lots of useful parts here doesn't seem like it is Gen.AI but some other provided tool

// automatically convert to text
def("PDF", env.files, { endsWith: ".pdf" })
// or parse and process
const { pages } = await parsers.PDF(env.files[0])

def("DATA", env.files, {
endsWith: ".csv",
// take top 100 rows
sliceHead: 100,
})
// or parse to JavaScript object array
const rows = await parsers.CSV(env.files[0])

const { files } = await workspace.grep(/[a-z][a-z0-9]+/, { globs: "*.md" })

so it seems to me these things could totally be so useful that you might use these and never care about the AI parts, at any rate I think I have to devote next week to this, as soon as the project I am on right now is shipped.
Finally time to leave.

I got in my friends Telsa

Waiting at the traffic lights started looking at Twitter

I got home and asked Siri

For food from UberEats

Only to get bored and open a tab of Reddit

Followed by television series from Netflix

With food from KFC

I then decided to go for a pee

Looked in the mirror

And questioned who is me.
I run rdfind[1] as a cronjob to replace duplicates with hardlinks. Works fine!

The secondary effect is that business will stop using processes and chemicals which require them to carry this warning. You've effectively created a new market segment.

Are the labels annoying to the point of comedy? Sure, but it's not /your/ behavior we were trying to modify.
I'm the first to say that AI will not replace human coders.

But I don't understand this attempt to tell companies/persons that are successfully using AI that no they really aren't.

In my opinion, if they feel they're using AI successfully, the goal should be to learn from that.

I don't understand this need to tell individuals who say they are successfully using AI that, "no you aren't."

It feels like a form of denial.

Like someone saying, "I refuse to accept that this could work for you, no matter what you say."
Couple of comments. Firstly, you are talking about highly redundant information when referencing VM images (e.g. the C drive on all Windows Serer images will be virtually identical), whereas he was using his own laptop contents as an example.

Secondly, I think you are conflating two different features: compression & de-duplication. In ZFS you can have compression turned on (almost always worth it) for a pool, but still have de-duplication disabled.
The ultimate end-game for image-gen AI is a closed-loop system where a computer can monitor sexual arousal levels and generate the most arousing porn possible for the subject. This would be VERY addictive. Unless people can just become completely immune to all pornographic stimuli.
question - is workspace.grep using JS regex or is it using actual grep? Like on Windows part of this would be depending on the Linux for Windows tools?
Decorative was my word to summarize your “catalog if 30 styles of nails”

> but this level of dismissiveness is a little difficult to reckon with

Let me summarize the key economic points that I feel have been dismissed:
- any kind of nail you want, you can buy right now.
- You can also buy nails of higher quality than anything that’s existed in preindustrial time
- popularity of which kind of nail is driven by demand
Yes. Productivity tools make programmer time more valuable, not less. This is basic economics. You’re now able to generate more value per hour than before.

(Or if you’re being paid to waste time, maybe consider coding in assembly?)

So don’t be afraid. Learn to use the tools. They’re not magic, so stop expecting that. It’s like anything else, good at some things and not others.
They are not the same thing, but when you boil it down to the raw math, they aren't identical twins, but they're absolutely fraternal twins.

Both are trying to eliminate repeating data, it's just the frame of reference that changes. Compression in this context is operating on a given block or handful of blocks. Deduplication is operating on the entire "volume" of data. "Volume" having a different meaning depending on the filesystem/storage array in question.
Oh! Sorry, to be clear, I’m not the botsin.space sysop. That was just my explanation of why I wouldn’t use Hetzner to run my own server.
> game companies are highly incentivized to work with (or at least not antagonize) the elite players

Actually, this is generally untrue. Companies BELIEVE this but often times, these players are a vocal minority put on pedastal and they often end up making the game worse for the general player base.
I always assumed they were talking about vulnerabilities slipped into BMC firmware or maybe into (counterfeit?) ASPEED BMC chips themselves. If there was one thing an attacker would want to pwn to pwn an entire server, it would be the BMC.

Verifiable fact: SuperMicro BMC firmwares (really all BMC firmwares from all manufacturers) have and will continue to have exploits: https://www.supermicro.com/en/support/security_BMC_virtual_m...

Verifiable fact: SuperMicro BMCs' default behavior is to expose itself on the LAN0 port if the dedicated BMC interface has no link: https://www.supermicro.com/manuals/other/IPMI_Users_Guide.pd...

It's really weird to me how desperate so many people are to shut down any mention of this story instead of adopting a “if it were true, what would it look like?”-and-hope-to-be-wrong approach.
My question would be can't the netcode be improved to prevent this in the first place? The fact that all players receive full game state enables this. In the early 2000s this made sense. Does it still today?
Quite a few people. I've been into many high-IQ circles and you'll find people with photographic memory, or that are absolute Leonardo da Vinci's in both engineering and art, meanwhile it's all impressing they all ended up with a similar destiny as me which is upper middle class. Really smart people have very good intuition and this prevents them from taking risks where the odds are extremely against them, like quitting Harvard to make a social network that ends up becoming a trillion dollar business.

They also avoid doing fringe research in academia, making them not typically stand out when they happen to have researched the new hot topic.

I've known also a few people that either founded $100B+ public companies or did research like people like to talk about in HN "All you need is attention" and they weren't the smartest, but smart enough, but were quite lucky on their journeys and to be in the right place and in the right time
But then you have to be careful not to remove the one which happens to be the "original" or the hardlinks will break, right?
I'm building a hackable smartwatch. How much would you pay for it?
Community-run and moderated servers easily fixed this issue decades ago. Maybe video games should be fun centers of community again instead of maximally isolating and atomizing skinner boxes designed to make children addicted to endlessly practicing and competing at worthless skills so the sunk cost keeps them buying loot boxes
“Hacker News” was always the arm of Valley startup mentality, not Slashdot-era Linux enthusiast privacy spook groupthink. It is unfortunate that this change has occurred.
> it's very, very hard to make the fans spin on a 16" M1 Max. You have to utilize all CPU/GPU/NPU cores together to even make them move,

I routinely get my M1 fans spinning from compiling big projects. You don’t have to get the GPU involved, but when you do it definitely goes up a notch.

I read so much about the M1 Pros being completely silent that I thought something was wrong with mine at first. Nope, it just turns out that most people don’t use the CPU long enough for the fans to kick in. There’s a decent thermal capacity buffer in the system before they ramp up.
Consumer products like cars, washing machines, etc... are mass produced and made to last for a specified amount of time, at the lowest possible price. Voyagers were unique pieces made with a quasi-unlimited budget.

The thing with consumer products is not evil, they are made to consumer expectations. Would you buy a $10k washing machine? Probably not, even if is designed to outlast you. Of course you also won't buy a washing machine that lasts a week, no matter how cheap it is. Manufacturers did studies and noticed that there is a sweet spot at around 10 years or so of lifetime for typical household usage. More than that and it become too expensive and people might want to change anyways to benefit from new technologies or some other reasons.

Once the "ideal" lifetime have been established, you are going to have parts that last the expected 10 years, others that last less, and other that last more, possibly forever. The parts that break too early need to be addressed as it may cause expensive warranty returns and a loss in reputation. But the parts that last forever also need to be addressed. Let's say the water pump is over-specified, sure it is great, it will never fail, etc... but all that doesn't matter because the machine will be trashed because of some other failure. So why would the manufacturer and ultimately the customer pay extra for that pump they have no need for. Instead, a cheaper should be used. The ideal consumer product is one where every part breaks down at the end of the expected life of the product, but not before, any more than that is a waste of money.

That's thanks to that value engineering that we all can afford cars, washing machines fridges and televisions, with cash to spare. These are not luxuries for the elite anymore. They are not made like they used to, but we don't pay them like we used to either.

I think you mean 2TB volume? But yes, this works. But also: if you're doing anything production, I'd strongly recommend doing deduplication on the back-end storage array, not at the NTFS layer. It'll be more performant and almost assuredly have better space savings.

It's worth noting that this may not be result of a pure LLM, it's possible that ChatGPT is using "actions", explicitly:

1- running the query through a classifier to figure out if the question involves numbers or math
2- Extract the function and the operands
3- Do the math operation with standard non-LLM mechanisms
4- feed back the solution to the LLM
5- Concatenate the math answer with the LLM answer with string substitution.

So in a strict sense this is not very representative of the logical capabilities of an LLM.
It makes it way easier to detect it. If a player can pre move their aim to be at the point near where the aimbot would take it by using a wallhack they can hide the action much more clearly. If they're constantly doing 180 no scopes you've got a pretty good indication something is wrong.

Also if your guns aren't _perfectly_ accurate then the aimbot can't actually predict much of anything.
The table only shows the models that they managed to beat, so there is no GPT-4o or Claude 3.5 Sonnet for example.

Off topic, any tool to deduplicate files across different external Hard disks?

Correlations between ancestry and IQ have nothing to do with phrenology. If they exist, they are not racist. Facts just are what they are.
We do have a pricing page however it's geared towards giving an estimation on how much additional we can generate for a merchant with our average improvement against industry average failure and recovery rates.

We tailor pricing to provide a double digit ROI since there's a huge range between each businesses metrics. For example, take two businesses with $4M MRR and one has a payment failure rate of 25% ($1m/mo) and the other has 5% ($200k/mo). We've found that Merchants are happiest with this approach as we also provide a free payment audit upfront to benchmark historical performance, estimate our impact, and set price. This way the benchmark, targets, and ROI are completely transparent.
> I don't think that's true. Most programmers I speak to have been keen to try it out and reap some benefits.

I’ve been seeing the complete opposite. So it’s out there.
Curious, what are others using local LLMs on a MBP for? Hobby?
An example:

I'm looking for a new job, so I've been grinding leetcode (oof). I'm an experienced engineer and have worked at multiple FAANGs, so I'm pretty good at leetcode.

Today I solved a leetcode problem 95% of the way to completion, but there was a subtle bug (maybe 10% of the test cases failing). I decided to see if Claude could help debug the code.

I put the problem and the code into Claude and asked it to debug. Over the course of the conversation, Claude managed to provide 5 or 6 totally plausible but also completely wrong "fixes". Luckily, I am experienced enough at leetcode, and leetcode problems are simple enough, that I could easily tell that Claude was mistaken. Note that I am also very experienced with prompt engineering, as I ran a startup that used prompt engineering very heavily. Maybe it's a skill issue (my company did fail, hence why I need a job), but somehow I doubt it.

Eventually, I found the bug on my own, without Claude's help. But leetcode are super simple, with known answers, and probably mostly in the training set! I can't imagine writing a big system and using an LLM heavily.

Similarly, the other day I was trying to learn about e-graphs (the data structure). I went to Claude for help. I noticed that the more I used Claude, the more confused I became. I found other sources, and as it turns out, Claude was subtly wrong about e-graphs, an uncommon but reasonably well-researched data structure! Once again, it's lucky I was able to recognize that something was up. If the problem wasn't limited in scope, I'd have been totally lost!

I use LLMs to help me code. I'm pro new technology. But when I see people bragging on Twitter about their fully automated coding solutions, or coding complex systems, or using LLMs for medical records or law or military or other highly critical domains, I seriously question their wisdom and experience.
Are we building whatever we want??? or what the customers want??? :thinking_face:

Here's how we use customer feedback in our PLG roadmap…

1. How did we collect user feedback?
2. How did we organize user feedback?
3. How did we gain the trust of engineers and designers?
4. How did we prioritize user feedback?

An in-depth look at what we did and what could have done better...

Fair point. My experience is with enterprise storage arrays and I have always used dedupe/compression at the same time. Dedupe is going to be a lot less useful on single computers.

I consider dedupe/compression to be two different forms of the same thing. compression reduces short range duplication while deduplication reduces long range duplication of data.

No, this implies that actions are in response to something. This is not true. I can shoot my gun at any time, and even randomly. It does not depend on an opponent starting to move.
LLMs are a local maximum in the same way that ball bearings can't fly. LLM-like engines will almost certainly be components of an eventual agi-level machine.
There are also cheaters on old games (Modern Warfare II (2009)) that will inject code into your client to disable the quit menu, so you have to dashboard. I can't imagine what psyche someone must have to not only cheat, but force people to play against them.

Well, that's why I'm asking what threshold of certainty people want to apply. The hypotheticals you cite are certainly possible, but are they likely?

what if the reality is, that 99.9% of the matches are actually false positives

Don't you think that if Google were deluging the cops with false positive reports that turned out to be perfectly innocuous 999 times out of 1000, that police would call them up and say 'why are you wasting our time with this?' Or that defense lawyers wouldn't be raising hell if there were large numbers of clients being investigated over nothing? And how would running it through a judge first improve that process?

What about intentional matches, like someone intentionally creating some random SFW meme image [...]

OK, but what is the probability of that happening? And if such images are being mailed in bulk, what would be the purpose other than to provide cover for CSAM traders? The tactic would only be viable for as long as it takes a platform operator to change up their hashing algorithm. And again, how would the extra legal step of consulting a judge alleviate this?

should police really be checking all those emails, photos, etc., without warrants?

But that's not happening. As I pointed out, police examined the submitted image evidence to determine of it was CP (it was). Then they got a warrant to search the gmail account, and following that another warrant to search his home. The didn't investigate the criminal first, the investigated an image file submitted to them to determine whether it was evidence of a crime.

And yet again, how would bouncing this off a judge improve the process? The judge will just look at the report submitted to the police and a standard police letter saying 'reports of this kind are reliable in our experience' and then tell the police yes, go ahead and look.
Any idea how many Googlers still have the pre-dotcom-boom Internet technologist-citizen mindset?

I know a bunch flocked to Google early on. But the landscape has changed a lot since then, and many people weren't even born until after the Internet and society were very different.
I get it, you are a true believer. I just disagree with your belief, and the fact that you can't bring credible examples to the table just reinforces that disagreement in my mind.

Well put. I like to say compression is just short range dedupe. Hash based dedupe wouldn't be needed if you could just to real-time LZMA on all of the data on a storage array but that just isn't feasible and hash-based dedupe is a very effective compromise.
Ask HN: Do you trust Instacart less since they added creepy AI stuff?
I just saw a recipe in the app that was claiming to be from a person who recently had a medical diagnosis and they were making this dish from an Asian American influence.

At the bottom it says it was AI, in small print. The recipe is unrelated to the picture which is also of really disgusting looking slop.

I am shocked that Instacart seems to not even review their AI output.

Every time I open the app I actively feel my appetite just evaporate. Like the food pictures from AI that they use look suuuuuuper gross.

Why don’t they even use a higher quality image generator? Like this is will smith eating spaghetti level of unappealing.

It’s so confusing.
