no, it would run either twice at the "same time" as it is read out, but obviously 60 minutes apart time duration wise; but this can't be helped as this time "existed" twice in that time zone. Or conversely in spring that time wouldn't happen at all, but the cron job will still run 60 minutes apart time duration wise. But this is the downside of local time, just make sure if you want to open a door at 01:30 local time that that is what you really want, because the unintended consequences could be a bit strange.
I feel like leadership and vision are lacking at DropBox, so they don't have any good ideas of what to do with the staff they've got.
They should be exploring new opportunities which leverage the skillset of their existing employees, this would diversify them from the effects of OneDrive and GDrive.

For example with AI alone we've seen an incredible number of new file services dedicated to just serving models, and DropBox has totally ignored that need.

Instead they regularly add bitsy, poorly implemented, "us too" features to DropBox which adds friction to common workflows - then provide no way to customise these features away for people who do not want them.

Perhaps to them they see this as evolving the product and keeping it relevant, but their approach doesn't address why Google and Microsoft are eating their lunch, nor does it take their eggs out of one basket.

So, LLMs face a regression on their latest proposed improvement. It's not surprising considering their functional requirements are:

For the purpose of AGI, LLM are starting to look like a local maximum.
It's very hard to measure memory use because it's reactive to how much RAM you have; if you have more then it's going to use it. That doesn't necessarily mean there are any issues.

It depends on their customers ("merchants"). I'm sure some of their customers will be fine. They could attract others like a foreign language teaching service that lures people in with a single price but somehow they're accidentally enrolled in something that has a 6 month commitment. It says subscription-based but it doesn't say anywhere that they exclude ones that have a commitment to multiple billing cycles, so "they have the option to cancel" probably won't even technically be the case with some services.

This is so uncannily close to the problems we're encountering at Pioneer, trying to make human+LLM workflows in high stakes / high complexity situations.

Humans are so smart and do so many decisions and calculations on the subconscious/implicit level and take a lot of mental shortcuts, so that as we try to automate this by following exactly what the process is, we bring a lot of the implicit thinking out on the surface, and that slows everything down. So we've had to be creative about how we build LLM workflows.
I sure hope so - at the very least I will use it for tabletop illustrations instead of having to describe a party's scenario result - I can give them a character-accurate image showing their success (or epic lack thereof).

I hate to say this but a large percentage (in fact, I believe a majority) of gamers simply do not care about invasive anti-cheats. Right now CounterStrike players are mostly begging Valve for kernel-level anti-cheat since their current solution isn't working at all. If anything, this warning will actually make many player's more impressed with the game. That said, more consumer information is almost always better in any case, especially in this case considering that this is not a requirement of law but of a private company.
No, they do. They just don't understand enough about technology/computing to know what's going on or they don't care (or at least pretend to, because they don't have any other experience).

Yeah but I can just assume that this would also apply to e.g. Microsoft Windows licenses, and that Microsoft lobbies strongly against such a law (also every other vendor who locks software licenses to a particular end-user or licensee)

At what point are people going to stop shitting on the code that Copilot or other LLM tools generate?

> how trivial the problems they solve are

A single line of code IS trivial. Simple code is good code. If I write the first 3 lines of a complex method and I let Copilot complete the 4th, that's 25% of my code written by an LLM.

These tools have exploded in popularity for good reason. If they were no good, people wouldn't be using them.

I can only assume people making such comments don't actually code on a daily basis and use these tools daily. Either that or you haven't figured out the knack of how to make it work properly for you.

I mean, nothing of this is new. ESEA, one of the most influential esports leagues, was caught using its anticheat to mine Bitcoin in 2013. [1] This is long out of control, probably since the days BattlEye switched to ring0 in 2012 due to chronic cheating in the DayZ mod, or maybe earlier. Modern anticheats are full-fledged rootkits with extremely complex and targeted payloads siphoning customer data and hijacking all sorts of stuff, and that's not a theory, they actively abuse players' trust and indifference.

If you care about your data and the control of your devices, you should probably avoid them entirely, or at least use them on dedicated gaming PCs on a clean identity, and keep them separate from your LAN and your non-gaming digital life.

if the end result of a mundane process is that a bomb gets dropped and lots of people die, it doesn't really much matter to most people how minor the role is; like it or not even the guy getting the coffee for the general is a part of that process which ends in an action that parent objects to.

people oft forget this fact, which leads into a slippery path of 'condoning via non-action' because "well it's just coffee!", until it all adds up into a 'war crime' or 'tactical victory'.

This isn't that obvious to me with current tech. If you give me a novel task requiring perception, pattern matching and reasoning, and I have the option of either starting to train an 8 year-old to do it, or to train an ML model, I would most likely go with the ML approach as my first choice. And I think it even makes sense financially, if we're comparing the "total cost of ownership" of a kid over that time period with the costs of developing and training the ML system.

This is a regression in the model's accuracy at certain tasks when using COT, not its speed:

> In extensive experiments across all three settings, we find that a diverse collection of state-of-the-art models exhibit significant drop-offs in performance (e.g., up to 36.3% absolute accuracy for OpenAI o1-preview compared to GPT-4o) when using inference-time reasoning compared to zero-shot counterparts.

In other words, the issue they're identifying is that COT is an less effective model for some tasks compared to unmodified chat completion, not just that it slows everything down.
I get the use case, but in most cases (and particularly this one) I'm sure it would be much better to implement that client-side.

You may have seen in the WARC standard that they already do de-duplication based on hashes and use pointers after the first store. So this is exactly a case where FS-level dedup is not all that good.
Activity Monitor counts everything from I/O buffer caches to frame buffers in the "memory used" metric. Add in that MacOS won't free pages until it hits a certain memory pressure and you get a high usage with no desktop apps open.

This also means that cleanly booted machine with 16 GB will show more memory used than a machine with 8 GB.

Apple suggests you use the memory pressure graph instead to determine whether you're low on memory for this reason.
Occasionally it doesn't do anything for me and I have to use the dock anyway.
The anti-cheat problem is long-running and complicated. If you choose not to run anti-cheat because you understand that these are opaque rootkits, good for you! That's a totally, 100% valid choice. But please keep in mind:

- you are a tiny minority and not the target customer
- online multiplayer games are an absurdly big business (i.e. there are huge incentives here)
- no, you can't completely solve this server side
- elite players are insanely good - they are by definition outliers, so looking for statistical outliers is not in itself a solution
- game companies are highly incentivized to work with (or at least not antagonize) the elite players (so just throwing them in matches with cheaters is not a solution)
- the stakes are high both for the devs and their users, so "pretty good" anti-cheat is usually insufficient

You can sum things up by saying that kernel-level anti-cheat DRM is the worst solution, except for all of the other solutions.

I hope to see more discussion on possible solutions and tradeoffs - this is a challenging technical problem whose solution (if there is one) is fairly valuable.

I'd argue that a closer analogy is I bought a laser based measuring device. I point it a distant point and it tells me the distance from the tip of the device to that point. Many people are excited that this tool will replace rulers and measuring tapes because of the ease of use.

However this laser measuring tool is accurate within a range. There's a lot of factors that affect it's accuracy like time of day, how you hold it, the material you point it at, etc. Sometimes these accuracy errors are minimal, sometimes they are pretty big. You end up getting a lot of measurements that seem "close enough". but you still need to ask if each one is correct. "Measure Twice, Cut Once" begins to require one measurement with the laser tool and once with the conventional tool when accuracy matters.

One could have a convoluted analogy where the carpenter has an electric hammer that for some reason has a rounded head that does cause some number of nails to not go in cleanly, but I like my analogy better :)

Agreed.

I was sorely tempted by the Mac studio, but ended up with a 96GB ram Ryzen 7900 (12 core) + Radeon 7800 XT (16GB vram). It was a fraction of the price and easy to add storage. The Mac M2 studio was tempting, but wasn't refreshed for the M3 generation. It really bothered me that the storage was A) expensive, B) proprietary, C) tightly controlled, and D) you can't boot without internal storage.

Even moving storage between Apple studios can be iffy. Would I be able to replace the storage if it died in 5 years? Or expand it?

As tempting as the size, efficiency, and bandwidth were I just couldn't justify top $ without knowing how long it would be useful. Sad they just didn't add two NVMe ports or make some kind of raw storage (NVMe flash, but without the smarts).
I'll just answer here, but this isn't about this post in particular. It's about all of them. I've been struggling with a team of junior devs for the past months. How would I describe the experience? It's easy: just take any of these posts, replace "AI" with "junior dev", done.

Except of course AI at least can do spelling. (Or at least I haven't encountered a problem in that regard.)

I'm highly skeptical regarding LLM-assisted development. But I must admit: it works. If paired with an experienced senior developer. IMHO it must not be used otherwise.
Hey you make great points, but you assumed some things incorrectly.

I think there is potential in AI , and Bitcoin was a fantastic piece of software. I am confused why people on HN had so much trouble adopting these technologies.

yeah AI and Bitcoin have shortfalls in their design, but Bitcoin is used by alot of people now, and so is AI.

> The problem of cheating in games does not weigh more than the users ultimate ownership of and control over their own property.

What the users want to use their ultimate ownership and control over their own property for is preventing cheating.

It's not like Riot is forcing this on people against their will, people just don't like playing against cheaters.

The only place I ever hear complaints about kernel anti cheats are people complaining because they want to use Linux and it isn't supported or forums like Hacker News, where people paradoxically care so much about peoples computing rights that they are perfectly happy to limit what gamers are allowed to do with their computers.
I have a MBP M1 16GB at home, and a MBP M3 128GB at work. They feel the same: very fast. When I benchmark things I can see the difference (or when fiddling with larger LLM models), other than that, the M1 is still great and feels faster and more enjoyable than any Windows machine I interact with.
A few things to consider here:

- This is an abnormal case. Most hardware will work with in-tree drivers. Indeed, few vendors provide out-of-tree drivers for Linux.

- Nvidia is an established and reputable source. We aren't talking about some small hardware developer who doesn't have the resources to create secure drivers.

- Most Nvidia cards have in-tree drivers. There is a loss in performance, but the option usually exists.
