1. HW3 is capable of running the latest iteration of FSD, which is very very good. In fact, the FSD stack still targets HW3, despite HW4 having significantly better hardware.

2. Tesla stated that they would upgrade HW3 cars if they run too far behind HW4...not that this means much.

3. Tesla has also been consistent about HW3 lagging behind HW4 while still being at least 3x safer than human drivers...not that this means much either.
> The only way to configure/disable that is via a .cn app!

What does it even mean for an app to be ".cn"? Apps typically aren't identified by DNS names. Did you have to download it from a .cn domain? Is it just a roundabout way of saying the app was Chinese?

Still wrong. In the UK, for example, it's virtually impossible to own a handgun of any sort. The info is easily available online.
> Doesn't peak so well of the vaccines and all the insistence they received.

It's one anecdote, the vaccines were never touted as 100% effective, statistically some people would not have the complete benefits, some others would have adverse reactions. That's how it works, that's how it was talked about. People were encouraged to take it because statistically it was proven to be effective, and studies done post-facto confirmed it.

Is it 100% effective? No, absolutely not, no medicine is and I have no idea why people still create this straw man...

On one hand, good for them. Any Linux distribution with Firefox and LibreOffice is enough for most people. On the other hand, it reminds me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Star_OS that is used in North Korea.

Yeah that works great until the partitioned device decides it requires Internet access and ceases operation. I recently had a Bose soundbar refuse to play sound until it was connected to the internet.. it promptly downloaded some massive 2gb update, then bricked itself while updating.
It's possible to do some voice transcription today but nobody has the budget or number of chips needed or bandwidth or edge device battery power to ingest billions of 24/7 audio streams and transcribe them in real time for ad serving.

On top of that they'd have to make it a conspiracy and make sure no engineers talk about it here on HN.

We can do those voice assistants only because everyone isn't using them simultaneously for 24/7 transcription.
I’ve been writing all of our transformer implementations in Rust using the Candle crate and it’s been great.

While dealing with CUDA and GPUs on servers is never a joy, deploying fully contained Rust binaries instead of a morass of python scripts has improved the situation for me significantly.

Getting Samurai running on Candle shouldn’t be that large of an undertaking. I believe there’s already a SAM implementation.

As some who started similarly as an indie developer (albeit mostly for macOS) back in 2005 and still doing it (on the side now), it's a dream and lifestyle that are very desirable for me since (similarly to the OP) I've learned that people made a living this way in the Mac world.

I left a well-paying engineering day job in 2009 while earning only $500/month on my indie apps in the hope of growing the business. The Mac/iOS developer conferences scene was great at that time ( NSConference, anyone) and I made a lot of connections and dev friends with whom I'm in contact still many years later. The dev community is still pretty good and helping.

Marketing apps has become a real hard problem these days, though, because most of the press doesn't care about apps anymore, unless they are from the big corp, or they just focus on Apple's own news and rumours.

Still, it's very fulfilling to see people who use your apps and recommend them.
Tokenization, still. LLMs don’t see individual letters. It’s like using Google translate to ask a German speaker the same question and concluding that Germans can’t count letters.
Lessons learned from launching my first product
I created a tool named Logo Spark(https://logospark.starta.trade) for logo design inspiration and launched it on Hacker News a week ago.

As a programmer, this is my first independently developed product. I've learned a lot in the process, including understanding user needs, defining products, and marketing. Of course, I'm still a novice in these areas.

I'd like to share what I consider to be the most important lessons, as they will help me in future product development:

1. Using unfamiliar technology for the sake of coolness led to bugs: My product's core functionality has undergone extensive testing before and after launch, so there haven't been any major issues this week. The main problem was with the product landing page; in pursuit of a cool effect, I used a technology I wasn't very familiar with. Users immediately reported that the page scrolling behavior was strange and the experience was poor. I realized where the problem was and immediately removed the odd scrolling effect. In fact, I thought the cool effect would add points to my website, but it failed; using unfamiliar technology carries risks.

2. Users will object to my use of arrogant marketing terms: I claimed on my website that my product would be better than traditional logo design methods, but in reality, I had no data or evidence to prove this. Users also pointed out this issue. In fact, my product, like other traditional tools, is an auxiliary process in logo design.

3. The product requires login and payment to use, but lacks clear instructions, which annoys users: My product design requires login and payment to use, but there was no clear indication anywhere on the website, leading users to feel deceived. In response, I urgently added a notice at key points stating that login and payment are required to use the product and added 10 free usages as compensation for all registered users. New registrants receive 5 free usages to improve their experience.

4. Privacy policy and terms of service are controversial: Users expressed dissatisfaction with certain clauses in the privacy policy and terms of service, especially regarding the product's use of personal information and copyright issues with generated logos. I don't understand legal and compliance issues, and for now, I can only modify them based on other products' statements. I think this is something most products will encounter. I thought users wouldn't care about these terms (I never read them), but in fact, agreements are important, users do care, and developers need to balance the rights of users and the product well.

Thank you to all the friends who have given me feedback, and I hope my lessons can be helpful to everyone as well.
I work in the sleep space, particularly enhancing slow-wave sleep - the synchronous firing of neurons which define deep sleep, the most restorative and vital component of sleep.

Only focusing on the amount of time asleep is a significantly limited viewpoint, but I believe this will change in the coming years as we gather more knowledge of sleep and access to EEG data about our brain activity during sleep increases.

Only measuring sleep time is like measuring the health of a persons diet is by measuring how much time they spent eating, but of course, looking at macronutrients, calories, is the right way of doing it.

I'll be writing more about this in the coming months, but my current thinking is that the concept of "can we sleep less" isn't the correct approach, and can be dangerous. At AffectableSleep.com - we increase the efficiency of deep sleep, and much of the research (https://affectablesleep.com/research) focuses on enhancing deep sleep in sleep deprived individuals (I'll post more research soon). This doesn't mean we should be sleeping less. A lack of quality sleep is already an epidemic in society, and massively underreported because the focus of the sleep industry has been the amount of time asleep, not the restorative functions of sleep.

Our goal isn't to help you sleep less, and we will need to be very clear in our marketing, but rather to ensure the sleep you get is as restorative as possible.

Of course, like any technology, some people will use it for negative purposes, which I believe would be to just "get by" on less sleep, rather than optimize your health through better sleep.

Regardless of the agency under question, wouldn't "deleting" them require an act of Congress and significant analysis?
I recently learned[1] that he didn't write this book. He was telling stories to Ralph Leighton, who then wrote the books, and there is reason to believe many of the stories were embellished/enhanced. I'm kind of disappointed now that he didn't write the book himself, but I remember enjoying it when I read it as an undergrad.

Parent is suggesting that sleeping must be good on the macro level. That does imply that it must also be good for the animal, right? In order to statistically benefit the population, the benefits to any given animal must statistically outweigh the costs. It can’t be all bad for all animals and still be good for the whole.

But sleep can be partially bad for some animals, they can be more prone to becoming prey while sleeping (though Google tells me sleep also prevents nighttime activity where predators have the advantage). There are definitely evolutionary adaptations around sleep to make it safer, sleeping in trees, sleep patterns & duration, hypnic jerk, etc.
Thank you for the excellent Saturday investigation topic!
I think that in 2014 it was already well known, there are several meta-analysis that precede this work. yes research is important, even just to state common knowledge, I just find the paper lacking depth and sources, making it not that interesting.

There is no follow-up of this research by the authors, and their research is not really focused on something in particular, I've the impression that it's just another paper on the subject.
?? I believe you're reacting to my reference of HN as the specific, and not example of what I'm referring to as the best use of social media--all social media.

Sheesh. I can only imagine what is your interest in personal expression--seems diabolical.
Yup. They did it for HW2 to 3 for the S and HW2.5 to 3 for the 3.

> These people will get burned

They decided this way. I can remember when the Facebook plague began. There was no real need to start living _inside_ Facebook, but most people did. They want their stuff back now? That's ridiculous. 15 years of social media didn't make them smarter in any ways. They want to get deeper and deeper, and I'm not going to stop them.

let's say somebody else said "There SHOULD be an expectation of privacy from the authorities when operating a motor vehicles on public roads on which you need a license to drive"

Is there some reason I should side with you over them, or just your opinion? If the courts decided that there was an expectation of privacy on public roads, would you agitate to change the law so there wasn't?

I'm curious what game that was.

In the olden days, we all had a copy of Hoyle's Games, which covered just about all decently well-known games, and variants.

Now people expect search will answer everything, so don't have dedicated and curated resources at-hand anymore.
Is it possible to try it without logging in?

Can you log in with anything other than a Google account?

I was excited by the tagline "Self-Sovereign", but it appears this is not.
Well. You know what I mean.

AI is also unreliable. Place chatGPT over a database and it's going to start lying about what is in it eventually.

That being said my statement likely isn't strictly true even when you account for ML. I'm sure there are even higher level languages that are not probability based and thus deterministic with expected results. But in terms of a software developers average experience, SQL is the highest level you can get without getting into the minefield that is LLMs.
I like the look and feel of this page. Can someone spot a hint to the generator/stack or maybe even the page source?
Large projects like the Linux kernel, which are mostly C, use the preprocessor in .S files quite heavily.

Linux has hardly any .s files.

~/linux$ find . -name '*.s'
./arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.s
./kernel/bounds.s
./scripts/mod/devicetable-offsets.s

But there are plenty of .S files with #includes

~/linux$ $ find . -name '*.S' | xargs grep -l '#include' | wc -l

- "A fully refueled Starship in LEO should have around 5km/s in an expendable configuration."

That can't be right; a naive application of the rocket equation gives (3.72 km/s) * ln(1,300 mT / 100 mT) = 9.55 km/s.
Safety Concerns:

• Menadione (also known as K3) is no longer commonly used in human supplements because it can cause side effects, including liver toxicity and oxidative stress, especially at high doses.

• It may cause hemolytic anemia in individuals with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency.

> Next, face filters are actually good for teenage self-esteem, just don't put mirrors in your house, or onlyfans... where women find the real mental glowup.

Did anyone suggest anything close to that? And why mention OnlyFans? If the number of teen users helped by a social media site with face filters is greater than the number of teen users harmed by the social media site, then the former group might already be avoiding or using the worse features (including but not limited to face filters) in a healthy way. Parents and guardians should be teaching children to use the internet in a healthy way, including by warning that photos on social media can be edited with internal and external tools. Some public schools include the topic of manipulated images on social media in health class. Removing face filters from social media sites that have them might be a good idea, but people with severe body image issues will resort to external tools and post the edited images in their group chats. But I digress.

Of the pressures that teen social media users attribute to social media, "overwhelmed because of all the drama" and "like their friends are leaving them out of things" are more prevalent than "worse about their own life" [2]; even then, most teen social media users report that social media makes them feel "more connected to what's going on in their friends' lives" and "like they have people who can support them through tough times" [3]. The percentage of teen social media users reporting that social media has had a net positive effect on them personally is greater than the percentage that report a net negative effect [3] (and the sample probably includes users of TikTok and Instagram, which have face filters).

> Written by Mike Masnick.....

Wherein he links to [4] the publicized results [5] of Facebook's internal research, provides a major infographic from the results, and follows up with infographics and excerpts from Pew Research, yes.

Also, I have to correct what I wrote in my previous comment. What I originally wrote:

> Facebook's internal documents showed that on 11 of 12 body image issues, Facebook was helpful to more teens than it was harmful to

The evidence I referred to was from public documents about internal research, not internal documents. The infographic was about Instagram, not Facebook. Instagram, which has an app with face filters. The reesearch was about 12 issues, of which one was body image. The corrected version of what I wrote is:

< Facebook's public documents on an internal study showed that on 11 of 12 issues (including problematic use, social comparison, and eating issues), Instagram was helpful to more teen users than it was harmful to.

The 12th issue was body image. Instagram was helpful to more teen boys than it was harmful to, but more harmful to teen girls than it was helpful to.

I feel like this has happened to most apples, even most fruit, forcing fruit to become all-year fruit in general has made those fruits worse off in the long term in terms of quality due to the necessity to make them long lasting. I used to personally dislike all apples until I started getting them from farmers markets that only sold them seasonally as opposed to supermarkets or costco, suddenly they started to taste like something and not just water.
The known upper bound for transformers on the fly computation abilities is a complexity class called DLOGTIME-uniform TC^0.

There is a lot to unpack there but if you take FO as being closed under conjunction (∧), negation (¬) and universal quantification (∀); you will find that DLOGTIME-uniform TC^0 is equal to FO+Majority Gates.

So be careful about that distinction.

To help break the above down:

DLOGTIME = Constructible by a RAM or TM in logarithmic time.
uniform = Only one circuit for all input sizes, when circuits families are the default convention
TC^0: Constant-Depth Threshold Circuits

Even NP == SO-E, the second-order queries where the second-order quantifiers are only existantials.

DLOGTIME-uniform TC^0 is a WAY smaller group than most people realize, but anything that is an algorithm or a program basically is logic, with P being FO + transitive closure or a half a dozen other known mappings.

Transformers can figure out syntax, but if you dig into that dlogtime part, you will see that semantic correctness isn't really an option...thus the need to leverage the pattern matching and finding of pre-training as much as possible.

Ultimately I think humans are innate optimizers. It's the reason why I stay playing factorio until late at night, because I want to see those production graphs go up up up.
LLM B would be a very bad LLM with only limited vocabulary and turn of phrase, and would tend to have a single writing tone.

And no, having 5000 different summarizing LLMs doesn't help here.

It's sort of like taking a photograph of a photograph.
Maybe I missed it in that massive article, but did they ever actually come to a conclusion why the apples taste worse today? Except maybe long term storage?

It was a really long article about the history of the apple and difficult growing it, but I didn't see the title answered anywhere. It ended taking about surplus and storage requirements.
Higher level easily end up more domain specific. Think SQL or other query languages. Future ones will likely be designed around AI somehow.

I'm not convinced that the economic harm to content creators is greater than the productivity gains and accessibility of knowledge for users (relative to how competent it would be if trained just on public domain text). Personally, I derive immense value from ChatGPT / Claude. It's borderline life changing for me.

As time goes on, I imagine that it'll increasingly be the case that these LLM's will displace people out of their jobs / careers. I don't know whether the harm done will be greater than the benefit to society. I'm sure the answer will depend on who it is that you ask.

> That's a good thing! If a company cannot raise to fame unless they violate laws, it should not have been there.

Obviously given what I wrote above, I'd consider it a bad thing if LLM tech severely regressed due to copyright law. Laws are not inherently good or bad. I think you can make a good argument that this tech will be a net negative for society, but I don't think it's valid to do so just on the basis that it is breaking the law as it is today.
To be fair, we only know there are no reported orca attacks. For a report to be filed they’d have to leave witnesses ;).
An interview with Javier Milei, Argentina's president
That's a good point.

It would be very nice to have a LLVM IR-style language for database queries, though. As a language, SQL is... well, a little behind times. ORMs explore lots of interesting design choices, but as you mention, by piling up high-level decisions on top of something that, by many aspects, are even higher decisions.

I wonder what an LLVM IR-like would look like in this space.
No, this 2004 letter specifies that the string with loops on its own, because it was designed to be used to modify a rifle to fire automatically, was a machinegun.

Three years later, in 2007 the ATF decided differently, "Upon further review, we have determined that the string by itself is not a machinegun..."

BTW, do you suggest a LINQ kind of integration in Rust? I just found the Microsoft has a Rust for C#/.NET developers resource [1][2] which is more about integration I think. It is a little weird that there is not Rust.NET yet. .NET is not a garbage collection only platform. I guess Microsoft is working internally on this.
