That's not ideal, but.... If you want more safety, you should want ford to do stuff like this. From the way it was phrased, I was imagining they added extra bars only to the actual cars sent for testing. This is them following the incentives and making their customers safer as a result; a win for safety testing.

Obviously it would be better if they had a deep commitment to safety and made every variation of every model maximally safe. But I'll take it. No such thing as absolute safety, so moves in a better direction are good.

Show HN: Finetune Llama 3.2 Vision in a Colab
Hey HN! Just added vision finetuning support in Unsloth! VLMs like Llama 3.2 11B, 90B, Pixtral 12B, Qwen2 VL 2B, 7B, 72B and all Llava variants. Unsloth finetunes them up to 2x faster with up to 70% less VRAM without any accuracy degradation!

There appears to be a hyperfocus on only a single element of the requested remedy. Perhaps many HN commenters are "web developers" and this explains the fixation on popular web browsers.

Perhaps commenters should consider that this particular request regarding Chrome may be removed when the revised Proposed Final Judgment is filed in March or this particular request regarding Chrome may be denied by the Court.

More often than not, the unbounded speculation put forth by HN commenters is incorrect in predicting the future.

IMHO, it would be great if web browsers became simpler to write and more numerous as opposed to the status quo where people commenting online assert that writing a web browser takes enormous investment and accept that there are only a handful to choose from, and these must be all controlled by commercial entities seeking to sell advertising services or partner with such commercial entities.

Browsers do not need to be Trojan Horse software to enable surreptitious data collection, nor vectors through which unsolicited advertising may be served. I am typing this comment with one that satisfies neither of those "requirements".

I think at this point it’s very clear LLM aren’t achieving any form of “reasoning” as commonly understood. Among other factors it can be argued that true reasoning involves symbolic logic and abstractions, and LLM are next token predictors.
I stand corrected:

hey folks! I'm fresh off presenting a well received Realtime API demo (https://x.com/swyx/status/1859607840639549871) at the 3rd OpenAI devday. There's been a lot of little roadbumps along the way building with the new API, and I've benefited a lot from advice from @kwindla, that I figured it'd be worth publishing a guest post with him on everything we learned using this rather strange new audio (and soon video) API (which we think is quite different from standard text/json over HTTP.

The Slang Shading Language and Compiler
This was weirdly condescending and content-free.

I've been programming for 30 years, and getters/setters are both pointless and anti-productive.

They hide (potentially a lot of) code from people reading the program, which leads to a lot of "wtf" moments later.

Magic in general is bad, and it's the kind of "look how concise and clever I am" thinking that leads to unmaintainable software.

If setting a property isn't straightforward, make it private/protected and add explicit getter/setter methods. It's more work today and much less work later on.
In this piece, I explore how our tendency to react to external events shapes our decisions and actions, drawing from both historical patterns and modern challenges.

Looking for Something? Binary Search Can Help!

Have you ever wondered how to find something faster than your mom finding out you skipped breakfast?

This week on my blog, I break down binary search, the search algorithm that’s all about dividing and conquering your way to the answer.

With just a few steps, you can search through a sorted array like a pro—no magic wand required!

I even implemented it in Go and shared a practical example. Spoiler alert: If the number isn’t in the array, Go’s answer is as brutal as your code reviewer on a bad day: “Item not found.”

If you’re curious to learn more, laugh a little, and level up your algorithms game, check it out!

Peaked in Silver in Valorant, lemme tell you, the hardware isn't much of a gamechanger after a certain price/quality point. I'm just a very tactile guy, and like diving down rabbit holes for stuff that suits me. My input devices are how I interact with the world, so, why not take some care to find one that sparks joy?

Kids these days who are 'graduating' from default laptop keyboard, $40 wireless keyboard/mouse combo, etc to "Hardware I picked out for myself" have plenty of good options, considering how hardware has gotten SO much nicer over the few decades I've been using it.

The 1mm actuation thing is probably for advertising how 'good/sensitive/capable' their switches are. I would personally never use something like that, what with my heavy hands. Little Timmy, on the other hand, is wading through a bunch of actually-decent mass-market options, and may see 1mm actuation as "WOW, NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN THIS GOOD!"

Likewise with LLM you don’t know if it is truly in the “chess” branch of the statistical distribution or it is picking up something else entirely, like some arcane overlap of tokens.

So much of the training data (eg common crawl, pile, Reddit) is dogshit, so it generates reheated dogshit.

E.g. Going to 2 then down to 0, back up, back down and stabilizing again at 0; of course sophisticated coordinated activity will pace itself, even if across real users, as to not "waste their ammo" or be blatantly obvious; makes me wonder if there have been any studies analyzing this.. anywho. Back to life.
Yes in theory it could. Depends on how it learns. Does it learn by memorization or by learning the rules. It depends on the architecture and the amount of 'pressure' you put on it to be more efficient or not.
Effective next-token prediction requires reasoning.

You can also say humans are "just XYZ biological system," but that doesn't mean they don't reason. The same goes for LLMs.

Great point! We're really relying on the superintendent's expertise, transcribing/compiling what they're saying rather than flagging code violations or other notables ourselves.

How do you define 'understand'?

There is plenty of AI which learns the rules of games like Alpha Zero.

LLMs might not have the architecture to 'learn', but it also might. If it optimizes all possible moves one chess peace can do (which is not that much to learn) it can easily only 'move' from one game set to another by this type of dictionary.
The biggest limitation for thermostats is the user interface. Most require digging through cryptic options, or they’re very expensive with a nice screen interface.

I think there’s a market opportunity for many of these types of devices to implement Bluetooth networking to provide a web interface usable on a phone. This avoids the need for expensive screens, since we all already have one in our pockets.

The main motivation stopping this is the desire vendors have to capture the market and get everyone signed up to their own app, so they can try to lock you in.
That is the kind of stuff I would have expected `go vet` to fix.

> At some point in a certain kind of seeking, the proof is accepted and no more is needed.

This is part of what intrigues me about this topic, the inductivist view that if we make enough empirical observations we can eventually settle on an objective truth. E.g. by observing enough cats we can conclude that all cats have whiskers.

The realm of science is falsifiable statements. "All cats have whiskers," is a falsifiable statement. We can only state it with 100% certainty by observing all cats (impossible). We can disprove the statement by experiment, however, one designed to discovering just one pathetic little whiskerless cat.

I subscribe to this, Karl Popper's view, that truth is an ideal we can pursue but never quite expect to arrive at. Truth seekers aim to be less wrong, but have little hope of being 100% exhaustively right.

This isn't to say we are unable to act like we believe anything. We can assume the next cat we meet will have whiskers and get by pretty well. But I wish more people could accept that statements like "God exists but is not observable in any way," or "The government is covering up aliens and anyone who says differently is part of the cover-up," are not falsifiable, and because they can't be disproven they also can't be trusted as truth. Maybe they are true, but you can't know, so it doesn't matter.

If a used car salesman tells you the car you're buying has above average fuel efficiency, you can test that and you should. If he tells you that it is a magical car that only runs out of fuel when destiny ordains it, we can't test that, so we should stay skeptical of the claim.

Whatever means by which someone believes they are directly querying the universe, if they are making falsifiable statements, those statements can/should be tested by the truth seeker; and if they are not making falsifiable statements, there is no compelling reason to believe them.

Are you asking why 5 million people don't just accept total subjugation to Israel and renounce all desire for self-determination as a nation? Let themselves be subjugated to permanent occupation and political persecution? All in all to a state that rejects Palestinian right to ever try Israelis for any and all crimes they do to them, including war crimes and crimes against humanity? (that's what even several EU states effectively argued before ICC, when challenging the jurisdiction of the court)

Israel claims there will be no Palestinian state ever, because it's a percieved threat to Israel security. Knesset resolution claiming that was passed this year. And by that, for Israelis that's poof "no self-determination for 5 mil. people". No loss for Israelis, I guess in that. They'll not even let them be citizens of Israel, because democracy doesn't mean much to Israel. Israel has to be a Jewish state, not like half Jewish half Arab and soon majority arab looking at demographic growth...

I don't know? Maybe they really don't want this, and don't know how to get out of that situation created by Jews and their European "allies" back in first half of last century in any other way.

And please don't tell me you're presuming Israel to be the innocent and honest party in all this.

This is the future I was trying to pitch in 2018 when we had built Ayvri and had every paraglider in the world, the world's largest ultramarathons, drone operators, and lots of other users of our real-world 3D environment.

Though we were using map tiles at the time, we were developing a model that took photos and a GPS track to add information that better matched environmental conditions (cloud, better lighting, etc).

People still ask me to open-source or give them our source code, but the code was acquired, so that isn't possible. But I do regularly say that if I were to rebuild Ayvri today, I'd do it as an interactive video rather than loading tiles.

an absurd comparison
I don't think so. I am aware that the US has thrown in about 20 Billion to the war effort. Israel has spent more than twice that much from its own budget.

Pre-war US military aid was about 4 billion/year, compared to the the Israeli domestic budget of 16 Billion/year.

The idea that Israel would have "no guns" without US aid is flat out wrong. Doubly so when you are talking about enough guns to to defy the ICC, which actually has zero.
