I have to interpret the question at face value, which may equate to natural language logic. I dont know the specific rules of any of these systems, which are obviously particular or wildly different from a layman interpretation. Most of the arguments seem to center around specialized conveniece rules (as you mention), which are eventually equated to the one true way to deconstruct meaning. At least, that is what I got out of this thread.

> Hypernuclei are exotic nuclei formed by a mix of protons, neutrons and hyperons, the latter being unstable particles containing one or more quarks of the strange type.
You're lucky to have good carers. I wonder how many parents or
organisations think to give this training?

Haven't read the FBI guidance yet, but it seems they're suggesting
we start teaching this outside of professional scope, to everyone.

I think that's a jolly good idea and will be thinking of how to build
it into civic cybersecurity syllabus.

Duress signals and a challenge-response for identification are

Vibes, based on what I can remember using that model for.

There's still a gpt-4 model available via the OpenAI API, but it's gpt-4-0613 from June 2023 - the March 2023 snapshot gpt-4-0314 is no longer available.

I ran one of my test prompts against that old June 2023 GPT-4 model here: https://gist.github.com/simonw/de4951452df2677f2a1a3cd415168...

I'm not going to try for an extensive evaluation comparing it with Llama 3.3 though, life's too short and that's already been done better than I could by https://livebench.ai/
But isn't this how all media (or everyday life) is already when people are given a choice? People self-segregate into Bluesky vs Twitter. MSNBC vs Fox News. Vox vs Breitbart. Shia mosques vs Sunni mosques. California vs Florida. People really like retreating into their own flock of fellow believers and don't want to be exposed to information contradicting their beliefs. Social media isn't doing anything new here, it's just selling the product people want to buy.
That’s just not true I’m afraid. I have domain specific knowledge in this area and recently talked to 20+ Atmos engineers for a piece of research I was commissioned to carry out.

Atmos mixes are not “just thrown together” and now, more often than not, the Atmos mix is primary and the stero mix is simply folded down from the Atmos master.
> None of those are geographically distributed physical locations that need to be staffed and operated constantly. They're monolithic institutions, pop-up restaurants of learning, or virtual.

I think you're misunderstanding how these operate. Almost all of these are staffed and operated for at least the same number of hours as a typical Radio Shack location.

> to a sector you have no practical or institutional knowledge in, which doesn't exist already

No, Radio Shack had more institutional knowledge here than just about anyone else. They made electronics kits, wonderful books, etc. A better example is AoPS opening up physical tutoring center (which they did, and which has been very successful).

> close down 7,000 stores (to roughly match the number of Kumon locations), get rid of all of your inventory

If you do this, you're managing the pivot like an idiot. Here is how you pivot:

1) Start a summer camp at one location. Iterate on the program until it's efficient and turnkey.

2) Start a small number of afterschool programs in a similar fashion

3) See what it takes to be successful. Perhaps grant some kind of certificate for those, and ideally, frame it so it can go on a college application, or if you're really ambitious, so amount of college credit. I can name a dozen other places this could go, but critically, it takes a bit of financial elbowroom to have time to explore and pivot like this.

Once this is going, expand reach to more and more stores. And do this in 1990, so you have time and elbowroom, rather than in 2000.

For big institutions, pivots almost never work wholesale.

> close down 7,000 stores

Scaling down was probably necessary at some point, but bankruptcy was not.

Scaling down can be followed by scaling back up.
I'm a little more in my wheelhouse here -- without an algo change, Grover's algorithm would privilege quantum miners significantly, but not any more than the industry has seen in the last 13 years (C code on CPU -> GPU -> Large Geometry ASIC -> Small Geometry ASIC are similarly large shifts in economics for miners probably).

As to faking signatures and, e.g. stealing Satoshi's coins or just fucking up the network with fake transactions that verify, there is some concern and there are some attack vectors that work well if you have a large, fast quantum computer and want to ninja in. Essentially you need something that can crack a 256 bit ECDSA key before a block that includes a recently released public key can be inverted. That's definitely out of the reach of anyone right now, much less persistent threat actors, much less hacker hobbyists.

But it won't always be. The current state of the art plan would be to transition to a quantum-resistant UTXO format, and I would imagine, knowing how Bitcoin has managed itself so far, that will be a well-considered, very safe, multi-year process, and it will happen with plenty of time.
There is a static vs dynamic distinction and strong vs weak typing

There is also a semi humorously named "stringly typed" which means weakly typed in such a way that incompatible types are promoted to strings before being operated on.

I'm not aware of any static weakly typed language, but it's logically possible to have one
So we are now a few years into the AI video thing.

I'm curious to know - is it actually useful for real world tasks that people/companies need videos for?
I wonder when in the future ai images and videos will be remotely useful and easy to create. These are still weird and garbage quality.
n today’s unpredictable job market, job insecurity has become pervasive. According to a survey conducted by Professional Résumé Writers, nearly 50% of employees expressed concerns about losing their jobs, with 66% of executives feeling similarly anxious.
If we take HunyuanVideo, which is similar to Sora, as an example, they state that generating a 5-second video requires 5 minutes on 8xH100 GPUs. Therefore, if 10,000 users simultaneously want to generate a 5-second video within the same 5-minute window, you would need 80,000 H100 GPUs, which would cost around 2 billion USD in GPUs alone.
There was always a deep cultural problem in Intel - at least since otellini when I was there. But it's not just the management that was arrogant - engineers too were a bit arrogant because they were taught that Intel was the best. The cultural problem was Intel assumed that they did not need to look outside the company about how the world and tech landscape was changing, and really they assumed they could always depend on the semiconductor process advantage to cover design inefficiencies. So the whole company was living in the past. Plus they did not hire the best - either in terms of thought leaders or in terms of senior people who were really really innovative. Intel had or has this culture of hiring lots of recent college graduates who would push new designs that were iterative but they were not of the level of new patents, or truly an outcome of research. Whereas amd was being successful with a much smaller number of employees, because of new patents and hired mostly senior people.

Once Intel lost its research focus it became an extractive company extracting the riches that were already there, instead of creating true innovation. Case in point - Intel stopped doing it's research day long time ago.

If the producer wants to publish bad physics, they get bad physics.

If the producer wants to publish good physics, they get good physics.

It doesn't matter if it is AI, CGI, live action, stop motion, pen-and-ink animation, or anything else.

The output is whatever the production team wants it to be, just as has been the case for as long as we've had cinema (or advertising or documentaries or TikToks or whatevers).

Nothing has changed.
Also a significant number of palantir senior leadership moved over to Andruil years ago. I would imagine this “fellowship” between the two companies has been in place for quite some time already
I agree that the scary scenario is stored SSL frames from 20 years of banking. That's nuclear meltdown scenarios.
If you will try to play this game in real life, with such logic it will be easy to trick you 100% of the time.
A lot has changed since ChatGPT was released. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Markets_Act wasn't in effect back then. Microsoft hadn't made their big investment yet either. OpenAi is a growing target, and the laws are becoming more strict, so they need to be more cautious from a legal perspective, and they need to consider that compliance with EU laws will slow down their product development.
If you are ok with physics that is completely wrong, camera angles that just don't feel right, strange light effects, and all other kinds of distorted images/videos, maybe Hollywood is doomed. But I don't see that happening.

A reminder: as advanced as CGI is today, lots and lots of movie are still based on (very expensive) real-life scenery or miniature sets (just two of many examples), because they are far, far more realistic than what you get out of computers.
Yes, and you have to put that in your cost-benefit analysis.
I was dealing with a more general variant of the version that Vos Savant gave. Which is that you were able to look at the contents of the envelope that you got. She claimed you didn't gain useful information. Calling it "information" is problematic, but it certainly is useful, because the stated strategy then works!

This is one reason that probability theorists have learned to be more careful in stating the double money version to rule out the solution that I gave. But my version has been in the literature since, I believe the 1950s. Under, as I first encountered it, the same exact name. (I encountered it from Dr Laurie Snell at Dartmouth College in the mid 1990s.)
oh yes, Suipercideman
I wonder what I will be doing with 20 garbage videos. And this probably includes revisions too. It takes 10 attempts to get something remotely useful as an image (and that's just for a blog post).
So pre-LLM were you offended when someone posted their personal poetry or artwork on internet if it was clear they had put little effort into it? Somehow I doubt it.

I have found a channel that curates and cleans some AI generated music. I really enjoy it, it's nothing I heard before, it's unique, distinct, and devoid of copyright.
I don't know, but I agree it seems foolish.

I also loathe that US banks don't use standard TOTP (which they could implement for free) but instead only offer SMS or app-based Symantec tokens, which are either insecure or impossible to backup.

That must be exactly it. The simulated scene extends beyond what the camera is currently capturing.

Not exactly, the conscious intent of communicating is important too. For example, someone in a coma may react reflexively, but they’re not communicating per se.
When I started using glp 1 I went from obese to not obese very quickly. There are bad side effects for some but I’d expect many people to benefit. Saxenda that is mentioned in this article and comes off patent has the same active ingredient as victoza which is now off patent. I’m sure some doctors are writing off labels rxs for Victoza
Thank you for this!

Do you think multi-country adds so much complexity that you shouldn't explore it too early?

E.g. What if you have an incredible opportunity in another geo? Should you put it on ice? How long for?
>but the specific ways they don't follow physics have very deliberate intent behind them.

That is only true for well crafted things. There's plenty of stuff that's just wrong for no reason beyond ease of creation or lack of care about the output.
Okay, what’s the larger picture then?
My Chuck E Cheese didn't have that, which is probably why I always preferred discovery zone (my NES at home was better than most arcades anyways).
Heh. Thanks for this. I am a bit disheartened about how much the arbitrary example I made is getting picked apart vs the actual point I was trying to make. It is what it is. HN gonna HN and all that lol.

Blameless culture is very important. You need psychological safety. Maybe I should have picked something else as an example like rudeness or something. Ah well.
That is great, thank you. I'd love to continue the conversation-- maybe easier in a separate forum. Can I follow-up via the email address on your profile (gaven...)?
They don't even get basic details right. The ship in the 8th video changes with every camera change and birds appear out of nowhere.

It couldn't possibly be the case. The only way that could make sense is if your contribution were paying for something like automation of the services you will one day need. Otherwise, at the end of the day, the services you'll need will require labor, and if there's insufficient labor available because not enough people had kids, then the amount of money you contribute today is irrelevant, and it's ultimately unfair to expect a future generation to devote most of their available resources to taking care of a previous generation.

Money is a grease to help direct resource utilization. You can't expect the big bucket of grease you saved for the future to mean much if there are no resources to flow. You cannot rely on a financial abstraction to "invest" in the future without everyone also actually concretely investing in creating a future.
The same party and candidate vowed to repeal Obamacare last time he was in office. Never happened; they tried 50+ times, all unsuccessfully. Same guy claimed he'd solve the Ukraine war 24 hours after election - before getting into office. Again, didn't happen.

The only way this goes forwards is a collapse of the system itself. Which isn't impossible, but seems like a higher bar than they already ran into with the ACA.
It is the other way around - others are terrible pieces of software.

Like I suspected, you unfortunately don't have the capacity to see things from another persons perspective. That's normal, that's how most people are. The only way you could understand would be if you yourself had to make a living from ad-supported creativity. Until then, you will not be capable of understanding. Or you've effectively used sophistry enough in life to make it a habit. But everybody sees through it.

This is the reason why corruption is so rampant in the world. People skip the line to get healthcare by bribing an official. They think it's right, because they only look for their own interests. The bribe-taking official is an "enterprising individual".

The creators of Brave skillfully use this egotism of users to make them accept and even defend their illicit practices. "Oh, I get free money, then I like it". If they were honest about their business they would distribute their ad money to creators without going through the user, but which user would then enable their illicit ads?

Blocking ads as a user is completely different. Nobody makes money by blocking ads for themselves.
Sure. In theory. In real world being a customer often means adapting your expectations and finding workarounds to get what you need. If this solution could have worked, building your own data center would seem rather extreme and unpractical.
Writing task-specific evals are pretty important, and lots of people are just going off of vibes right now. If this all seems too much all at once, and you don't know where to start, we wrote a jargon-free issue for getting started with system evals.

https://forestfriends.tech

The basic idea for system evals is to find a way to define a qualitative trait you want in the LLM responses using a corpus of examples, rather than being able to define it exactly using prompts. Then through systematic improvements, you nudge your LLM-driven task to adhere closer and closer to the given examples, for some metric of closeness. That way, you can be more sure you're not regressing on LLM responses as you try to make improvements. This is standard stuff for data scientists, but this way of working can be a little foreign to web engineers (depending on prior experience). It just takes a little adjustment to get up to speed.
Do different DACs frequently sound different? I would expect that it's audiophile's fairy tales.
You don't have full control over AI-generated images though, or not to the same extent producers have with CGI.

There's a video on sora.com at the very bottom, with tennis players on the roof, notice how one player just walks "through" the net. I don't think you can fix this other than by just cutting the video earlier.
The Raspberry Pi has three huge advantages over those other options:

1) GPIO, letting you do things like learning to flash LEDs or controlling robotic arms and getting ready to use a Pi Zero for robots or such.

2) Cool add-ons, like the Pi Camera or AI modules, and a product family such as compute modules, Pi Zero, etc. A strong third party market of Hats, etc.

3) SUPPORT. Pi 500 is available as part of a kit with the official Raspberry Pi Beginner’s Guide, which I know from experience in teaching people interested in learning this kind of stuff, is a really awesome getting started resource. But it doesn't stop there -- Raspberry Pi Press has a lot of freely available books that teach various topics, AND a monthly magazine to teach and inspire. Not to mention countless tutorials meant specifically for Pi and Pi OS.

This is really, really awesome.

Those ebay specials aren't going to satisfy any of these. And while direct RPi competitors do provide a response to the first point, they get weak on the second point, the RPi is pretty unique in the third point.

I'm not really referring to broken / questionable hardware here. I'm talking about ex office stock thats been flashed with a fresh copy of Windows and is ready to go out of the box, the same way any new PC would. That's far more accessible than a Pi.

I'd argue you need a lot more technical competency to get a pi running than a fresh out of the box mini pc.
AI physics isn't worth worrying about compared to other inaccurate things kids see in movies. It doesn't seem to hurt them.

If you really want something to worry about, consider that movies regularly show pint-sized women successfully drop kicking men significantly bigger than themselves in ways that look highly plausible but aren't. It's not AI but it violates basic laws of biology and physics anyway. Teaching girls they can physically fight off several men at once when they aren't strong enough to do that seems like it could have pretty dangerous consequences, but in practice it doesn't seem to cause problems. People realize pretty quick that movie physics isn't real.
I have trouble believing in God, but when I play chess, I sometimes get the sense that it’s not me and the opponent playing against each other, but God playing against himself. I guess it’s something to do with the mystery of insights.
I don't think financial institutions are legally allowed to even offer this as an option. Plus, it would be very expensive to opt you out of the risk systems. Plus, some subset of opted-out users would still sue when they are, inevitably, pwned and some hacker runs off with their life savings.
Um, wowowow. This is a huge leap forward in 3D Asset generation. I'm downloading it right now. This feels like a combination of ergonomics - pulling together multiple somewhat janky workflows - better training data - and solid architecture innovation. Thanks Microsoft, seriously. I'm looking forward to playing with this.
> Or simply because the alternative is being homeless?

As I already mentioned, you can simply sign a contract and then proceed to ignore all the illegal clauses. They're not binding.

> And why should the default for foreigners be getting screwed?

People getting screwed because of them not knowing their rights is basically something that can happen in every legal system, and if people come from other countries without certain legal protections, they're more likely to not know about them. That's just a reality of life.

The next step is to automatically add "nodes" to the 3D images where the model can pivot, rotate and whatnot and then boom, you have on-demand animated, interactive content.

Feed it some childhood photos and recreate your memories. Add an audio sample from a loved one and have them speak to you. Drop into VR with noise-cancelling headphones for extra immersion. Coming soon! Click here to join the "Surrender Reality" waitlist
It does indeed, but then many of those people don't notice they're already consuming half-decent, personality-less slop, because that's what human artists make too, when churning out commercial art for peanuts and on tight deadlines.

It's less obvious because people project personality onto the content they see, because they implicitly assume the artist cared, and had some vision in mind. Cheap shit doesn't look like cheap shit in isolation. Except when you know it's AI-generated, because this removes the artist from the equation, and with it, your assumptions that there's any personality involved.
Nah, I'm good. HN can be a very amusing place at times. Thanks, though.
The point is not to be precise. It's to be "good enough".

Trust me, even if you work with human artists, you'll keep saying "it's not quite I initially invisioned, but we don't have budget/time for another revision, so it's good enough for now." all the time.
Of course, never put all your eggs in the same basket. Have a different registrar as well, and maybe a different CDN ready to go at a moment's notice.
Still, the REPL is nice to have.
Well there's a reason I have those Tradfris ;)
They are? The short term recommendation is 3072, and I still see lots of 2048. Actually, it's mostly 2048.
Hey this is actually really good, one of the best image to 3D models I've seen so far. From an image of a bollard I was able to generate a pretty good mesh. The GLB as generated was 1.2MB, after compression I got it down to 35kb (!) and the fidelity is good enough for most projects.
Nope.

It's useless bureaucrats that scare companies so they don't want to waste time and money figuring out all the nuances and put themselves at risk of getting sued.
