I know Hartmut Neven personally and professionally, and have for decades. He's not anything like you claim he is. Attacking him for wearing a wristband? That's an ad hominem attack, and not worthy of my time to counter you on.

The fact is that "Burners" are everywhere, nothing about Burning Man means someone is automatically a quack. Your distrust seems misplaced and colored by your own personal biases. The list of prominent people in tech that are also "burners" would likely shock you. I doubt you've ever been to Burning Man, but you're going to judge people who have? Maybe you're just feeling a little bit too "square" and are threatened by people who live differently than you do.

Yes, Hartmut has a style, yes, he enjoys his lifestyle, no, he's not a quack. You don't have to believe me, and I don't expect that you will, but I've talked at length with him about his work, and about a great many other topics, and he is not as you think he is.

Your comment here says far more about you than it says about Hartmut Neven.

As I said in a previous part of this thread, the rules of logic are as arbitrary (by definition) as they are paramount, and often diverge from natural language logic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42365222#42368661

---

I mean, it's important to remember that the axioms of first-order logic are arbitrary. We could easily argue that the truth value of an empty group is undecidable, and that would better correlate to natural language logic.

The fact that we compact these edge cases into arbitrary truth values is just for ease of computing.

This is also relevant to the arbitrary choice of the 'inclusive or' as a default over an 'exclusive or', which most people use in natural language.

For those who can't try Sora out, Tencent's super recent HunYuan is 100% open source and outperforms Sora. It's compatible with fine tuning, ComfyUI development, and is getting all manner of ControlNets and plugins.

I don't see how Sora can stay in this race. The open source commoditization is going to hit hard, and OpenAI probably doesn't have the product DNA or focus to bark up this tree too.

Tencent isn't the only company releasing open weights. Genmo, Black Forest Labs, and Lightricks are developing completely open source video models, and that's .

Even if there weren't open source competitors, there are a dozen closed source foundation video companies: Runway, Pika, Kling, Hailuo, etc.

I don't think OpenAI can afford to divert attention and win in this space. It'll be another Dall-E vs. Midjourney, Flux, Stable Diffusion.

I'm not sure that's obvious, at least if you don't completely restrict yourself only to specific kinds of electronics, eg. have computer assembly, troubleshooting, phone and other device repair classes/workshops, etc. The most successful pivots create a market where there previously was none.
It saddens me. Innovations in AI 'art' generation (music, audio, photo) have been a net negative to society and are already actively harming the Internet and our media sphere.

Like I said in another comment, LLMs are cool and useful, but who in the hell asked for AI art? It's good enough to fool people and break the fragile trust relationship we had with online content, but is also extremely shit and carries no meaning or depth whatsoever.
Thanks, would you mind elaborate more on what you wrote below:

Sora is built entirely around the idea of directly manipulating and editing and remixing the clips it generates, so the goal isn't to have it produce usable videos from a single prompt.
And service.

AWS has lots of problems. But they have a team of real humans that respond to tickets around the clock and actually understand stuff. To many businesses, that's worth the extra cost clone.

> Long term, you'll never have a coherent movie produced by stringing together a series of textual snippets because, again, that's just impossible.

Why snippets? Submit a whole script the way a writer delivers a movie to a director. The (automated) director/DP/editor could maintain internal visual coherence, while the script drives the story coherence.
Having new initiatives in this space is always good. There was a blog post on OpenCollective about this as well [1].

The about-page specifically calls out that 'Deep dependencies are not receiving financial support' - which is a very hard problem to solve. So I'm happy that there are more and more people looking into this.

Having said that - within the Python ecosystems, both boto3 (AWS) and azure-sdk-for-python are receiving funding [2]? I don't know what approach they take in determining which projects receive funding, but I assume that still needs some (manual) fine-tuning.

The proper way to scale pixel graphics is by using nearest-neighbor (integer scaling) + CRT shader. Some games implement these filters excellently (eg Black Jewel, Hammerwatch (only the very first part), Animal Well), while others do it poorly (eg Skald).

Old consoles can be connected to an LCD monitor using a device called RetroTINK, which can add this effect perfectly. For static images, software like Photoshop, Affinity Photo is sufficient, but the goal should always be a CRT effect rather than generic scaling or fancy blur.

The point is that OBJECTIVELY pixel art looks incomparably better on CRT monitors, which is why this effect is emulated.

This is an exponential moving average aka first order average and has been used for decades. It's introductory material in any DSP class.

There are multiple varying derivations of the coefficients that have different meanings, the best one for this example would be as an approximation of an N-point moving average (derivation of that is an exercise to the reader, but it's like five minutes of whiteboarding)
> I immediately start to approach the author of this with distrust:

> I'm a layman in this domain

I think your skepticism is well-founded. But as you learn more about the field, you learn what parts are marketing/hype bullshit, and what parts are not, and how to translate from the bullshit to the underlying facts.

IMO:

> He's writing about multiverses

The author's pet theory, no relevance to the actual science being done.

* He's claiming a quantum performance for something that would take a classical computer septillions of years.

The classical computer is running a very naive algorithm, basically brute-force. It is very easy to write a classical algorithm which is very slow. But still, in the field, it takes new state-of-the-art classical algorithms run on medium size clusters to get results that are on-par with recent quantum computers. Not even much better, just on-par.

> Or is this just how technology breakthroughs start (after all the Transformer paper wasn't)

You could say that. It's not truly a breakthrough, but it is one more medium-size step in a rapidly advancing field.
AI is essentially search. Quantum computers are really good at search.

Replication isn't a backup, because if you accidentally delete a file, and that deletion is immediately replicated, then you can't get that file back.

Backups are a specific point in time.
Are we talking about the actual T&C or the "intent" of T&C?
There is, it's the "Vacuous Truth", generally any affirmation about elements of the empty set is true.
It's very useful as it allows you to convert any statement "All elements of x are Y" in "No element in x is Not Y".
People exhibit different behaviors of risk taking when they know there are safety systems in place to protect them.

Love Postgres, but major version upgrades remain the one genuine pain point. One misstep and you're in backup-restoration hell. Solid guide.
This is why I find this discussion so paradoxical. People, who are tired by the rapid change in Frontend-Dev, are surprisibgly eager to jump away from the most stable and backwards-compatible framework in this space, for which all the problems are known and mapped out.
Perhaps they aren’t even his hats at all and the “my” part is the lie.
That depends on how they fail. If they trigger on false positives, that's money wasted on lost time and damaged equipment.

On the flip side, if they fail a real case, it may well be because they engendered a false sense of safety, a bit like a sharp knife being safer than a dull one.

What you're saying can only be true to the extent that natural language doesn't look like formal logic.

Unfortunately, there are some obvious discrepancies. My favorite is that "can't" really means something closer to "not can".

This can be demonstrated with a close analysis of the statement, "I can't not do that." To get our usual understanding of the sentence we need to parse it as, "I (not can) (not do that)." And then turn that into, "I must not (not do that)." And now cancel the double negative to get, "I must do that."

Suppose that you try to parse it as, "I can not not do that." You quickly get, "I can do that." Which is not at all what that sentence actually means.
You have to be specific. What's more important to you?

- uncensored output (SD + LoRa)

- Overall speed of generation (midjourney)

- Image quality (probably midjourney, or an SDXL checkpoint + upscaler)

- Prompt adherence (flux, DALL-E 3)

EDIT: This is strictly around image generation. The main video competitors are Kling, Hailuo, and Runway.
That's an awful result. It turning around has absolutely nothing to do with what you asked for. It's similar in nature to what the chatbot in the recent and ongoing scandal said, saying to come home to her, when it should have known that the idea would be nonsensical or could be taken to mean something horrendous. https://apnews.com/article/chatbot-ai-lawsuit-suicide-teen-a...

So you were lucky indeed to be able to run your prompt and share it, because the result was quite illuminating, but not in a way that looks good for Sora and OpenAI as a whole.
No one can have a fully formed vision. But intent, yes. Then you use techniques to materialize it. Word is a poor substitute for that intent, which is why there’s so many sketches in a visual project.
I regret opening this can of worms called Monty Hall.

But anyway I'll link the relevant section from Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem#Other_host_...

> The version of the Monty Hall problem published in Parade in 1990 did not specifically state that the host would always open another door, or always offer a choice to switch, or even never open the door revealing the car. However, Savant made it clear in her second follow-up column that the intended host's behavior could only be what led to the 2/3 probability she gave as her original answer. (emphasis mine)

My point was that when people ask this question, they often word it like the very 1990 version did, lefting out this critical statement (which Savant considered needed as well, therefore she clarified in the follow-up column), making the question ambiguous.

(Although Savant also said "Very few (out of people who said is 2/3 is wrong) raised questions about ambiguity"... so perhaps people are actually just bad at probablity...?)
Oh, it has a ROM, just on an external chip. I misunderstood your original post. I thought they had somehow programmed the device without using ROM at all, which made it either very old school or very custom.
One problem with replication is if the disaster is that all the data has been deleted, that deleted state will get propagated to the replica, so you will still have no data.

But yes, if the problem is simply that the main setup is down, replication will often give you a more (or even completely) up-to-date copy than a daily backup will.
Do not make assumptions about people you do not know in an attempt to discredit them. You seem to be a big fan of that.

I have been working with NLP and neural networks since 2017.

They aren’t just black boxes, they are _largely_ black boxes.

When training an NN, you don’t have great control over what parts of the model does what or how.

Now instead of trying to discredit me, would you mind answering my question? Especially since, as you say, the theory is so simple.

DALL-E 3 image quality has always been subpar, but its prompt adherence is on par with FLUX. Midjourney has some of the worst prompt adherence, but some of the best image quality.

There's this FinTech ad on the NYC subway right now. I can't remember the company, but the entire ad is just a picture of a guitar and some text.

Anyway, the guitar is AI generated, and it's really bad. There are 5 strings, which morph into 6 at the headstock. There's a trem bar jammed under the pickguard, somehow. There's a randomly placed blob on the guitar that is supposed to be a knob/button, but clearly is not. The pickups are visually distorted.

It's repulsive. You're trying to sell me on something, why would you put so little effort into your advertising? Why would you not just...take a picture of a real guitar? I so badly want to cover it up.
Merely recording is a necessary, but not sufficient condition to invasion of privacy.
For hardware failure, replication is the bees knees and indeed means you'll lose less (no? depending on your replication settings) data.

But, backups will help if you replicated _bad data_, or more accurately _data changes_.

You can restore from backup if you accidentally ran `DELETE FROM foo;`, where replication will not help!

(Insert cryptolocker type viruses, bugs, human query mistakes, etc).

Thanks for asking! The teams we've worked with do one of two things when deploying Helm charts with ArgoCD. They either pass values directly to the chart from the Application resource, or they use scripts to merge values.yaml files together and pass them to the helm template command to implement the rendered manifests pattern.

In both cases it's tedious to manage the helm values, and they're usually managed without strong type checking or having been integrated into your platform as a whole. For example, you might pass a domain name to one chart and another value derived from the domain name to another chart, but the two charts likely use different field names for the inputs so the values are often inconsistent.

Holos uses CUE to unify the configuration into one holistic data structure, so we're able to look up data from well defined structures and pass them into Helm. We have an example of how this helps integrate the prometheus charts together at: https://holos.run/docs/v1alpha5/tutorial/helm-values/

This unification of configuration into one data structure isn't limited to Helm, you can produce resources for Kustomize from CUE in the same way, something that's otherwise quite difficult because Kustomize doesn't support templating. You can also mix-in resources to your existing Helm charts from CUE without needing to template yaml.

This approach works equally well for both in-house Helm charts you may have created to deploy your own software, or third party charts you're using to deploy off the shelf software.
