> I like the idea of solving this by just asking for the location of an event.

One issue with this phrasing is that a user might react--quite reasonably--with frustration like: "Gawd, stop asking me you stupid computer, it doesn't matter, I already told you it's an online-only teleconference, it's not really anywhere!"

I'm not sure about the best way to phrase it, but ideally we want the user to be answering: "Which clocks determine when the meeting starts?"
Smoking is extremely addictive. I don't think people are obese because of food addiction. It's more a combination of unhealthy diet and lack of exercise.
I’m British. It guessed I was Turkish.

there were videos of ostensibly these drones. i've seen two that claimed such, but unfortunately i did not save the videos - dumb. "remote control aircraft" are so low on my radar (PI) that i wrote it off as people scared of their shadow. The original story was it was loitering near some Trump property, and that's why FAA issued a NOTAM for that area. afaik, this is standard procedure? But maybe people don't know that or the news they watch is explaining things poorly. who knows. I just know why i didn't save the videos.
The marketing and messaging for getting people to stop smoking is simple. "Stop smoking". You don't need to get nuanced, which is good because nuance kills marketing effectiveness.

The marketing and messaging for getting people to eat the right amount - "not too much! But also not too little!" is considerably trickier.

Also, you can put taxes on cigarettes, but you can't really put taxes on food...

On the other hand, once you have a large model, you can use various distillation techniques to train smaller models faster and with better results. Meta seems to be very successful doing this with Llama, in particular.
> ZIRP led to all sorts of unsustainable businesses...The company needs to recapture some of that value to remain in operation.

Absolutely 100% agree with all of this. VC money got real silly for a minute there, like actually investing dollars on the basis of github stars, but now the party's over and it's just about hangover time. A similar thing happens when you inject a bunch of temporarily abundant food into a closed ecosystem. You get a big spike in population growth followed by a really bad time.
For future reference you definitely want to remove PII from the API as soon as it's not needed on the frontend—people, even engineers, naturally expect to be able to visually confirm what information is and isn't public, and you don't want to be that site that exposed data through a side channel.
I'm having trouble in my head understanding how these workflows are actually executed in the open-source version. Are there workers somewhere? How do we provision those and scale those up and down?
Australia has just banned "social media" for under 16s.

As someone who got a lot of positive value out of parts of social media from around age 14, I think this needs to be done in a more careful way than it was done here. Specifically, I don't think that communication apps such as WhatsApp/Messenger/etc should be banned as they form a key part of communication in and out of school, staying in touch with family, etc.

What I'd like to see is more nuanced laws around the exposure of children to social media algorithms. For example, should 14 year olds be on Instagram? Well Instagram DMs are the chat app of choice for many people, so they should probably get that (with safety and moderation controls). How about the public feed? Maybe? But maybe there shouldn't be likes/dislikes/etc. Or maybe there shouldn't be comments.
Dunno, I feel porn gave me quite positive and reasonable expectations of sex (relaxed, that it is fun, that women like sex too, etc). It made sex seem much less dramatic and more normal. But maybe I am an outlier plus it is not like I started watching porn until I was like 17-18.
I've written two articles on this topic over the last few years:

https://medium.com/neuml/grow-your-open-source-project-5b439...

https://medium.com/neuml/grow-your-open-source-project-2-0-5...

In 2024, it's hard to get anyone to know you even exist. You can work all you want on GitHub but it likely will be a couple star project unless it trends on a site like this.

With how many developers oversell what they've built, everyone is generally skeptical with any new project. People are even more skeptical if a project mentions "AI".

Then you have VC-backed companies who have their ways to get their projects noticed. They'll get stars, articles and publicity but there is no direct correlation with project quality and funding. People use these projects, they're terrible and the cycle of disillusionment continues.

Given all that, it takes a certain resolve, belief in what you're doing and commitment to keep pushing forward. There will be little carrots along the way to re-energize you. Perhaps that is good enough, perhaps it's not. It's not for the faint of heart.

I fully agree that when an open-source maintainer doesn't want to do it anymore, it's like anything else in life. We have free will and the right to decide to move on to other endeavors. Just like one does with any other job.
Most of the experience of a live performance (especially for pop artists) is in being there, with a crowd, and the soundscape of a giant auditorium or stadium, so the lip-syncing doesn't matter much either way.

> can see how it's tempting to chalk this up to hysteria, but they are absolutely large drones of some kind

It's probably neither enemy infiltration or hysteria, but mis-identified drones and aircraft. (Together with some hooliganism.)

Pentagon should investigate. But this is way below the threshold of warranting public alarm. "What is that thing in the sky" is a notoriously terrible game for the public.

It's much more valuable to watch it, see what kind of scans are coming from it than to just shoot it down immediately. It is also a bargaining chip for those in international politics.

If you're going to shoot it down, it has the same value if you do it immediately or later (assuming any remote wiping/detonation), so either you're paranoid that it poses a legitimate threat or it's beneficial to not shoot it down immediately.
also when you quit smoking you normally end up gaining weight
L2 cache is 1000x closer than the PCIe bus. Pretty much anything that has to respond in ~realtime to outside events will run better on the CPU. You can use the GPU to visualize the state of the system with some small delay (e.g., video games), but it is not so great at modifying state in an efficient manner - especially when serialization of events & causality are important.
I agree that what you're saying is a problem but if your doctor is not handling anything about your health properly why are you not finding a new doctor instead of saying you don't want to talk about something?

And I am not saying that your doctor needs to constantly bring it up, but at a yearly physical I would expect that anything that could be contributing to other issues or my health in general would be brought up no matter how many times it was brought up. There are exceptions to this that I would generally expect the doctor to know and you not needing to ask it.

I mean replace weight with any other thing that could (not saying it's easy or possible for everyone) change and it sounds ridiculous. I cannot imagine a doctor respecting being asked, I don't want to talk about me smoking. Or sitting all day for work, or other risky behavior. It's all part of your entire health picture.
Most of the Toyota acceleration accidents were almost certainly the result of operator error. The fact that the staistical probablity increased with age gives that away.

However, Toyota got convicted because their software development process was so terrible that they were effectively criminally negligent and deserved to get absolutely roasted for it.
Downtimes like these really make it easy to see which tools / products use OpenAI APIs vs Anthropic or own Models. Just tried a few like Snapchats "My AI" and some AI Calendar / Organisation Apps and they either would spin a loading indicator forever or just throw a timeout…
Show HN: AGPLv3 Markdown Resume Management Pipeline System
I was laid off a couple of months ago. I took the time to turn my resume from a difficult to maintain MSWord doc into a process using Markdown -> Pandoc -> PDF . Currently working on extending it to generate JSON and FRESH resume formats.

Hope folks find it useful.

i mentioned elsewhere but if you had a large octocopter (think like 8' across) you could fashion lights to it to imitate other aircraft, like nose and tail and wing markers. My DJI has a front and rear light, the rear one blinks two colors so you know which side is which, my older DJI clone had lights on all four rotors, different colors between front and back (green and red? or am i confusing boat markers, haha).

If i wanted to freak a bunch of people out i'd start my design like this, at least. Some aircraft can fly really slow (biplanes, for instance), but the videos i saw of ostensibly these aircraft they were moving too slow to be actual fixed wing aircraft of the shape the were implied to be by the lights. But who knows if the videos were doctored (cropping would fool my brain about relative speeds), or even of the aircraft we're talking about? I didn't save them so i got no idea, sadly.
And you recorded if of course!
Agreed! The bigger shift is switching to data parallel coding styles.

I thought this was for men who couldn't find relationships. Why would the marriage rate go down? Prompting your own porn will be so much better than current human porn that the people who are actually married will choose to be single instead?

If a dead bedroom marriage is still intact now, why would AI porn change that? Do you need to get divorced before you can chat with the bot? Is the bot going to help parent the children you were staying in the marriage for?
You aren’t supposed to. The team is supposed to help you get setup, help you navigate around the project, essentially telling you what to type almost when you’re in front of the keyboard. You’ll be taking a tour.

When you aren’t in front of the keyboard, everything will continue with somebody else while the rest of the team continues to talk through the problem. On day 1, your only contribution is probably going to be familiarizing yourself with how things are setup and maybe asking some questions.

I think whoever set this up for you did a really poor job of explaining the intention.

Seems their findings are that, to grossly oversimplify, some people just have a higher chance of getting sick than others, and that remains consistent from youth to old age. And given how many chances there are to get sick, making it through 'the filter' to get to 100 is only realistically going to happen to those who are both lucky and have that low base rate of disease going for them.
Great questions and a few answers to various parts of your question that you've mostly identified yourself I think:

- Golf clubs specifically (and most sporting equipment) actually goes down a different pipeline in most airports, since generally this stuff doesn't behave well on conveyor belts.

- Data driven approaches can tell you a lot just from visual information, usually about deformability of objects, but also about expected centers of mass, etc

- Part of the reason we're using single big robots is because you can use heavy duty end-effectors - grasp all the way around the object with a grasp that's predicted to be robust to these kinds of perturbances, and then use quick feedback to safely execute a plan to place it

You're absolutely correct though, that there's a long tail of things coming through and that some objects are very, very difficult. Our problem formulation then becomes identifying confidence in graspability, and deciding explicitly that we shouldn't attempt to grasp some object and should instead flag them for human handling.
It still doesn't make sense. He was elected to Congress in 2018, long after the end of the Cold War. I think GP is just mixing him up with someone else.
Even if it is warranted on their part, the 1% false positive will be detrimental to those affected. And we all know there is no way to reach out to them in case the account is automatically flagged.
I tried accessing Gemini 2.0 Flash through Google AI Studio in the Safari browser on my iPhone, and to my surprise it worked. After I gave it access to my microphone and camera, I was able to have a pretty smooth conversation with it about what it saw through the camera. I pointed the camera at things in my room and asked what they were, and it identified them accurately. It was also able to read text in both English and Japanese. It correctly named a note I played on a piano when I showed it the keyboard with my finger playing the note, but it couldn’t identify notes by sound alone.

The latency was low, though the conversation got cut off a few times.
Thanks, Benjie! Great to see you here. I hope it's OK if I plug your excellent writings on robotics that I think everyone should check out: https://generalrobots.substack.com/
Does that sound as worrisome when you remember that his “talk” was repeatedly accusing parents of faking their own dead children, to the point that many of them were receiving violent threats from his listeners? Nobody went after him because he had weird views on tax policy or international relations, it was because he refused to leave suffering families alone.

This is also a good time to consider what you are saying by calling it a “political vector”. Lying about a mass shooting snd harassment aren’t traditionally a partisan position so by using that framing you’re implicitly saying they belong to his party.
Andrew Kelley is just one guy and he’s allowed to express his own political opinions online, just as you are. What evidence is there that the community as a whole is “annoyingly political”?
That you’re delusional?
I just don’t get the argument that they need to compete with those other stores. I have a Safeway (Albertsons) and Fry’s (Kroger) less than a mile from my house. I go to these for my general grocery shopping along with a few smaller specialty grocery stores. I have a Walmart just over a mile from my house and sure I’ll buy groceries there but usually because I am already needing a hardlines product from Walmart. Costco is by far the biggest clusterfuck of them all and I’ll only step foot in there if I’m buying bulk items or want something that only Costco sells. Why can’t they all have their niche?
No the judge stated he believes it could be sold at a higher price not that the deal wasn’t structured properly.

There’s been confusion on the math. Because one party was forgoing a portion of their share everyone else not just the other victims would be better off financially.

ps: Economic maximization alone isn’t relevant here. The underlying economic value matters when individuals aren’t voluntarily participating in a transaction. If I destroy your car then I owe you based on the cars worth, but if you trade in your car moderately under blue book perhaps you’re just in a hurry.
Yes, it potentially could be optimised out, which is why platforms provide functions like SecureZeroMemory() for cases where you want to be sure that memory is zeroed out.
Taking away a phone from a child is far from meaningless. In fact, it is a very effective way of obtaining compliance if done correctly. I am curious about your perspective.

Furthermore, it is my opinion that a child should not have a smartphone to begin with. It fulfills no critical need to the welfare of the child.
And blocking core contributors with their stupid “Affiliated Checkbox”.

Unfortunately outright lying and saying that “I personally don’t think they voluntarily contribute enough” is “contributes nothing” seems to have been partially successful in seeding the idea.
> On Wednesday, the Pentagon responded and addressed the baseless claims from one Republican New Jersey congressman that the drones were from an “Iranian mothership” lying off the coast of the state.

A lot of people in power seem to be panicking because so many international conflicts are dying down in recent months. After a Ukraine-Russia ceasefire how is the military industrial complex going to sustain itself? We need a new boogeyman, asap.
Not commenting on NJ specifically, but there have been drone sightings near sensitive military sites recently, as reported by the military
That's 50/50, having lived in a poor and non tech heavy part of the world, at least Apple models are relatively few and high value, so shops pay special attention on keeping stock of what's reasonable and first party may be an option if you go to an affluent part of the country

On the contrary, usual recommendations, like business grade retired fleets were a lot more uncommon, because "business" work laptops on the area were just consumer grade whatever was cheap at the moment

The weird ocasions you saw stuff like Thinkpads or similar, they commanded a premium because the techies WANTED them
I asked Gemini about banning risks, and it answered:

Gemini: Yes, there is a potential risk of your Google account being suspended if your SaaS is used to process inappropriate content, even if you use Gemini to reject the request. While Gemini can help you filter and identify harmful content, it's not a foolproof solution.

Here are some additional measures you can take to protect your account:

* Content moderation: Implement a robust content moderation system to filter out inappropriate content before it reaches Gemini. This can include keyword-based filtering, machine learning models, and human review.

...

* Regularly review usage: Monitor your usage of Gemini to identify any suspicious activity.

* Follow Google's terms of service: Make sure that your use of Gemini complies with Google's terms of service.

By taking these steps, you can minimize the risk of your account being suspended and ensure that your SaaS is used responsibly.

In a follow up question I asked about how to implement robust content moderation and it suggested humans reviewing each message...
You're just communicating your offering directly to people that may be interested. I don't see why that's gross. It's not deceptive or manipulative. There's a cost to search and sometimes targeted offerings that come directly can be very helpful.

Direct outreach is pretty much the only way to get your initial customers. If you have warm connections, use those, sure. But those can be a false signal as warm connections tend to talk to you or feign interest just to be nice. A cold contact owes you nothing, so if they do take the meeting or engage in your product, that's a lot stronger signal.

Anyone have a business they built without using direct cold outreach? Would love to hear alternatives
You don't even necessarily get it with enterprise products; last time I checked, Nvidia requires additional CAL-type licenses installed on a "certified" server from the "Nvidia Partner Network", while AMD and Intel limit it to very specific GPU product lines targeted at VDI (i.e. virtualizing your employees' "desktops" in a server room a la X/Citrix terminals).
A magic 8 ball cannot implant ideas into someone's head, it can only say "yes", "no" or "maybe" to an idea they already had.

A chatbot can introduce a kid to wrist cutting without the kid having ever been aware that that was something distressed people did. That's not something a magic 8 ball can do.
OK but you still need a grid cutoff--you absolutely can't put power into the grid when it's down. It's not a huge investment, but it's not nothing.
In this case, if we are basing it on screenshot samples, it does seem to me that the parents were lazy, narcissistic and manipulative. Based on what the kid was telling to AI themselves. AI was calling it out in a manner of an edgy teenager, but AI was ultimately right here. These weren't good parents.
That's on the roadmap, circa 2045.

We just got unpaginated threads after several decades so it'll be a while before the developer cooldown is up.

> He lets them all go to voice mail, so nothing about his behavior encourages them to keep calling. Yet they keep coming.

I mean, he lets them go to voice mail. Pick up and set the phone down might use more time on their calls and get the line marked as worse target. But I still get several calls a week, so it's not perfect.
So what would be the consequences of not honoring these, "instructions"?

Oh, nothing?

Algorithmic sorting + public or semi-public content. Chat rooms have different problems.
I understand when a kid is anywhere from up to 13 years old, but at 17, it seems completely wacky to me to take the phone away and then go through the phone as well. I couldn't imagine living in that type of dystopia.

I don't think smartphones or screens with available content should be given as early as they are given on average, but once you've done that, and at 17, it's a whole other story.

> obtaining compliance if done correctly

This also sounds dystopian. At 17 you shouldn't "seek to obtain compliance" from your child. It sounds disrespectful and humiliating, not treating your child as an individual.
