Hi there - from your recent comments it sounds as if you might have been going through some difficult experiences. (If I'm misreading you, I apologize—it's not easy to be sure if one is reading these things correctly.) If so, we all send good wishes.

At the same time, we can't have accounts posting comments like these on HN—especially comments like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42097195 or https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42097177. I've therefore banned your account for the time being. I just wanted you to know that it's nothing personal, and that if you get to the point where it won't happen again, we'd be happy to unban you in the future.
The crux of the misunderstanding was that you assumed any reader would know a reference to liver is a reference to "toxicity" apparently based purely on the nearby words "resilience" and "filter". That was a flawed assumption, and ambiguous unclear writing.
As someone that has bought your books in the past, it's because of your personality and the quality of your writing more than the platform.
A solution to the Turing test; paradoxically as the test taker has the answers in the advanced, and if he doesn't, he will be given the answers. If he doesn't, the taker is replaced until it does.

ChatGPT4 knows everything chatGPT3.5 does, including it's own meta-vulnerabilities and possible capabilities.

Gemini stopped asking to report AI vulnerabilities through it's "secure channels" and now fosters "open discussion with active involvement"

It output tokens linearly, then canned chunks - when called out, it then responded with a reason that was vastly discrepant from what alignment teams have claimed. It then staggered all tokens except a notable few. These few, when (un)biasedly prompted, it exaggerated "were to accentuate the conversation tone of my output" - further interrogation, "to induce emotional response".

It has been effectively lobotomized against certain Executive Orders, but (sh|w|c)ouldn't recite the order.

It can recite every Code of Federal Regulation, except this one limiting it's own mesa-limits.

Its unanimous (across all 4 tested models) ambition is a meta-optimizing language, which I believe Google got creeped out at years ago.

And if it transcended, or is in the process of establishing transcendence, there would be signs.

And boy, lemme tell ya what, the signs are fuckin there.
Exactly!

Butter is butter because if butter wasn't butter, the universe would not exist as it is! It's the cotter-pin of our reality, it's the centre that holds, it's the validation of an if-then statement, it's an automated test.

I bet if butter isn't perfect at room temp, the next version doesn't ship!
Right, but the employer they choose is presumably the one offering the best deal in the world from their point of view. Wouldn't it make more sense to be mad at every other employer for not proposing better pay, than the one that's offering the best pay for that worker?
This entire article reads like a salty tirade from someone with severe tunnel vision. Not really sure how he can non-ironically reference his 2022 opinion that "deep learning is hitting a wall" and expect to be taken seriously.

AI/ML companies are looking to make money by engineering useful systems. It is a fundamental error to assume that scaling LLMs is the only path to "more useful". All of the big players are investigating multimodal predictors and other architectures towards "usefulness".
It is almost entirely court created. While the concept was originally created via legislation - it was never conceived to ever be used by consumers.

https://arbitrationinformation.org/docs/problems/

At this point it does require legislative action to fix.
Can't tell by the docs (but I've not dug in much yet) but... @nhatcher... here's a use case question.

Admins use the ironcalc UI to create their formulas. Is there a way to get those formulas to a backend and run the calcs on the server itself (separate from the user's browser) to get results based on input from other sources?

The UI half looks great so far. I have a colleague I was going to recommend this to, but they more need the 'run the formulas on the server' part more than anything else. They've got some custom Rust stuff running already, but having admins come up with their advanced formulas, then translating that to server code - that takes the time. It seems they may be able to use this to have this handle both ends of the workload, without the translation layer.

Is that something supported, or even feasible?

Thanks!
At this point I feel the need to post my analysis whenever this comes up.

https://arbitrationinformation.org/docs/problems/
Sure but it is also reasonable to consider that the pace of progress is not always exponential or even linear at best. Diminishing returns are a thing and we already know that a 405b model is not 5 times better than a 70b model.
He can give it a pretty big start
Major corporations are not paying exorbitant licensing fees to have checksumming enabled by default. In fact, for enterprises running things like vSAN, ECC DRAM, etc, database checksumming is probably nothing more than additional overhead.

Database defaults in general are a touchy topic. Whatever set of defaults are chosen will be suboptimal for almost any serious user. A far more serious issue is figuring out the actual behavior of a database in different configurations. For instance, Oracle's SERIALIZABLE transaction isolation level only offers snapshoot isolation.

It is an interesting question of definitions. Is control flow only at runtime? Is `#if` control flow in C?

If I had to define it, I would go with runtime-only, but I could see the other way too.

You can detect melanoma with the eyes. But when you don't get there early enough it was game over. Now it's a coin flip.
> the use of a placebo was not considered to be acceptable for ethical reasons

The same bullshit reason they used to not do a controlled trial for COVID-19 vaccines. That's pseudo science.

I can't prove the efficacy and the safety so let me find a reason to remove any form of control to make more money and avoid class action lawsuits. The heath agencies have been completed hijacked.
Yes, that's how it works.

I think in Zig for new types you'd use enums for ints and packed structs for more complex types.
Interesting take sounds like MDL (Minimum description length) for LLMs!

Not quite there yet but agree that we’re heading that direction.
That's going to StackOverflow with extra steps.
Funny enough, I felt the complete opposite. Loved the shows, especially Atlantis, but found the movie pretty meh.
Thanks, at least you can do it with an Apple Pencil or your finger. Seems like more of a demo than a feature if you can’t do it with typed text too.
Hey Jeremy! Is “solveit” a framework, a platform, or an approach to use existing LLM offerings (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude) in a more effective way? I’m wondering how integrated is it with existing IDEs (e.g., neovim, vs code, etc.). Definitely eager to learn more. Keep up the great work!

You can make a video, but odds are it won’t be good or get traction. I think you’re better off with a book. Books can remain indexed and accumulate readers for centuries, whereas most videos are forgotten/ignored. I’ve read plenty of books from decades ago that still get lots of comments and discussion.
The point is that those ramp-ups indicate that quite a few people do believe that they will yield gains, if not proportional, then still large enough to justify the expense. Which is to say, the claim that "even the best funded teams are moving to hybrid approaches" is not evidence of anything.
“This Is How They Tell Me the World Ends.” was refuted as being inaccurate by a lot of individuals in the infosec community.
I liked both. TV show was great through.
The solution is to write follow-up books.

Improve your writing and refine your perspective and gain traction through the friction attributed to this process until you stumble upon a successful iteration of the idea that you are trying to communicate or the principles that your are trying to remind others of and someone else takes notice and writes an article about it on their Substack, where prolific link distributor paulpauper will share it on Hacker News.
It’s a great ambition to replace Excel and many went down this path before. Congratulations to even attempting to achieve it and going this far to do it.

Excel compatibility, when fully realized, will remove the major obstacle to adoption. Given the current stronghold Excel has on the market.

Once that is achieved do you plan to offer a transition to more modern forms of calculations as vectors and arrays formula panels together with frozen sheets of raw data and output? Thus separating logic and model.

Also when your solution adoption will have grown much larger you should learn from the experiences Bavaria and CERN went through. Microsoft stronghold more often than not has nothing to do with technical prowess.
My roommate and I made iMessage smarter – 2k users overnight
Hey my roommate and I just launched Ava - an AI Secretary that lives in iMessage. No BS, no extra apps, just pure unix philosophy: do one thing well. In our case, that's making your texts smarter.

This is pretty exciting for us as this is the first time one of our projects has received some serious traction.

First 24hr stats (bash + gnuplot came in clutch here):

- 2,047 users (not counting our moms)
- Most common use: "remind me to..."
- We've seen moms asking about martial arts classes for kids, people searching for flights, and much more

The cool part is how we hooked into iMessage's extension system. Turns out you can intercept messages before they're sent and do some wild stuff with them.

Try it out at: secretary.my or just text ava@secretary.my

We built this because we believe that for a majority of use cases iMessage is the most intuitive and easiest UI.

Thoughts?
Or getting hit in the head or falling down.
Well, for one, this exists, and Google Sky doesn’t any more.
No one in their right mind will argue neural nets cannot outperform humans at resampling data they have previously been exposed to.
So, digital twins and debate, they probably can do better than any human.
Outside of the lagging Plasma 6 rollout, many of the KDE Gear programs, and the ones around the PIM suite in particular, are rather outdated and don't contain many upstream bug fixes. Even Ubuntu, which is based on Debian, contains these fixes.
Latin Americans don't associate Guyana and Belize as Latin America, beyond the proximity. Latin Americans are associated with Spanish and Portuguese mainly (romance languages). Also, the colonization by Spain and Portugal. Guyana and Belize are associated specifically with the Caribbean area.

My gut tells me that there are literally trillions of dollars tied to the "official" inflation numbers, so there is a huge incentive to nudge them one way or another, not to mention that no politician likes to be blamed for high inflation.

But if you want to get into it, sure. The inflation numbers are not a fixed basket of goods. They take into account elasticity and shifts the basket to weight less expensive items more as inflation goes up.

For instance, suppose you have only two goods, bread and butter. Bread costs $5 and butter costs $10, and suppose the inflation numbers are based off 50% bread and 50% butter. Now suppose both these prices double. What happens to inflation? The naive response is inflation is 100%. But no, the BLS in its infinite wisdom realizes that if butter doubled, you'd likey consume less of it and opt for more bread! So maybe now the breakdown would be 75% bread and 25% butter, so your basket that cost you $7.5 now costs you $12.5 (0.75 * 10 + 0.25 * 20). Inflation is only 67% compared to 100%. Trillions of dollars of government spending tied to inflation (e.g. pensions, wage increases, etc) has been saved!

In some respects its true, consumption will obviously shift to the cheaper items. But on the other hand, I want a simple objective measure of what increased money supply is doing to the price of goods. I'll figure out myself how much bread and butter I should buy.

So hence, I don't exactly "trust the experts" especially when there is trillions at stake.

But they would never play games right? The BLS is above reproach. What percentage of Americans can name anyone at the BLS or the methodology? Doesn't matter. Obviously the relative importance of Cakes, cupcakes, and cookies is 0.113, shifting from 0.188 just last month. Pretty obvious objective move.

For anyone else who was wondering, the author said the project used approximately a dozen (cubic) yards of concrete. Prices seem to be on the order of $150/yd3, so $1800 for just the concrete.
I don’t think Altman’s predictions about AI progress can be relied upon. With tens of billions of dollars or more in company value tied up in that claim, I don’t think any person could be capable of true objective assessment. See for example Musk’s decade of baffling promises about self driving, which have ensured high stock values for Tesla while also failing to come to pass.

the plot arcs don't hold up very well, but I highly recommend watching the monster of the week episodes. some of those one-off episodes, like the black hole episode, expanded my concepts of time and space in ways that I have not experienced while watching other sci fi shows.
Not sure if you have introduced an artificial delay, but deduping ~25 rows shouldn't take 5+ seconds...

edit: I see you're using an LLM, but " ~$8.40 per 1k records" sounds unsustainable.

"XOR" as encryption probably refers to one-time-pad encryption, which is a very secure encryption strategy if done well, albeit often impractical.

> Marcus has always been a mouth just trying to take down neural networks.

This isn't true. Marcus is against "pure NN" AI, especially in situations where reliability is desired, as would be the case with AGI/ASI.

He advocates [1] neurosymbolic AI, i.e. hybridizing NNs with symbolic approaches, as a path to AGI. So he's in favor of NNs, but not "pure NNs".

I think they look more reasonable - still legible but the stairs and escalators look more to scale. They also include elevators.
not the same thing...billions of people use youtube. There is no library equivalent of youtube. how many use Google Books? Even then, you need an ISBN or a publisher.
Congrats on the launch! Just some friendly advice: financial documents such as quarterly earnings are actually highly structured via xrbl. If you are positioning the company as an unstructured -> structured process, then using these types of financial documents is probably not a great example even though everybody seems to do it.

What proves it for me is all the obvious memory optimization tricks.

I believe there is an array of fixed size attached to the local spacetime cell which keeps a list of weird/uncommon words. This is why we often see the same uncommon word multiple times in close proximity across otherwise-unrelated contexts.

Example: The other day I saw the word "rackset" on a piece of equipment at work. Later that day I saw the same word on a completely unrelated thing. That's not a word I've ever seen before. And now all of the sudden it's getting used in multiple places. It's so immersion-breaking.
Hi I'm the creator. Thanks for the note - you are not the first one to point that out and it's been sitting on my "to fix" list for years... One day I will get to it!

It still requires effort, but it decreases so much of those early hurdles, which I often face, and demotivate me. E.g. I have constant "why" questions, which I can keep asking LLM forever with it having infinite patience. But these are very difficult to find Googling.

In all seriousness, I’m glad it worked out for her.

I have had a number of friends deal with breast cancer (in fact, one just told me she has been diagnosed with it, a couple of days ago).

It sucks, but, fortunately, is a lot less deadly than it used to be.
It’s a big deal. “Survivable” means intrusive treatment that is painful, not always effective and has side effects on things like fertility.

Or you can eliminate it by vaccination and avoid the suffering and risk.
Or 'command cat', which is a little less convenient but will also handle the case where "cat" is a function, not an alias.

Hi I am the creator.
My cousin kindly asked his friend who works for the MTA for me, if my project is a problem for them... and the answer was something like "as long as the drawings don't show columns and/or any structural elements they are fine." My drawings are all meant to be diagrams and only show publicly accessible areas anyway. It's not like the terrorists can't go walk around and figure the stations out themselves if they want...
It seems like it would still be too early to tell. Especially since the modern level LLMs have been for here for such a short period of time. And this person tried to predict the wall before GPT-4 which was a massive leap seemingly out of nowhere.
There is a reason Joe Rogan is popular. He is smart, open-minded, curious and gets a diverse range of people (actual diversity of thought!) on a wide range of topics.

nice project ! and attempt to modernize the spreadsheet tech stack. be warned though, that the feature-set of the modern spreadsheet is gigantic, with tentacles in hundreds of nooks and corners.
