You seem to have misinterpreted my comment since we agree that the "no-space-before 'foo' way" is truer to the syntax, and to repeat myself, I had said "char* foo" is the bad cue and even mentioned @onre's multiple identifiers supporting point (which you reiterate). It can be hard to see whitespace on HN comments, though unless you do the 4space indents to get a monospaced font. You can in-page search, though.

The only difference with the spacing against syntax in "x+y * z" is that there are fewer type-relevant operators (e.g. '+' does not work in a type expression). One does NOT hear people advocating for more space around '*' than '+' (though I have sometimes heard "equal space"). Your non-disagreement has not persuaded me that this is a bad way to explain the problem, although I agree I could cut down on the double negatives. :-) { Even grade school kids have some sense of precedence of '+' & '*' which is so broadly adopted that even hand calculators do it. }

"How misleading" spacing against syntax can be is admittedly more subjective. I think whitespace can really matter to human readers. There are many other examples. gcc added -Wmisleading-indentation a while back. Off-side rule languages like Python embrace things that sometimes prevent that problem. The Nim compiler was once sensitive to exactly this kind of operator spacing where it would parse "x+y * z" { space around '*' } as "(x+y)*z" in an attempt to have the compiler "Do what I mean".
Google ads appeal process is broken?
Hi there HN. I'm posting this in case anybody who has a Google contact or works at Google themselves would be able to help.

My account was automatically suspended after signup because I needed to submit verification papers for my company. I did that successfully and then they asked me for a verification that I own the billing account. I do have that information but when I go to submit that I simply get a 500 error with "something went wrong".

Unfortunately in this situation Google Ads also disables your ability to contact support so I'm a bit out of luck here.

Funny enough, I was actually on the call with a google accounts rep when I was signing up and he pretty much hung up on me after I got suspended (live, with him) and has been dodging my call and emails. I assume he's just not incentivized or perhaps enabled to help out with things like this.

I'm not participating in any kind of banned or suspicious industries. My bank accounts through mercury.com and my c-corp is registered in the state of Delaware and in good standing with California's franchise tax board. Everything is totally above board here, it's just that I can't submit my verification documents through the app.

I know this is a long shot and I Don't like that you have to ask for tech support on social forums but here I am and if anybody has any way to help I would really really really appreciate it.
You've probably looked only at the Bazel BUILD files. They are indeed quite declarative (as the syntax is restricted even more).

If you open other Starlark files that have functions (in Bazel, that would be in .bzl files), you should recognize the Python syntax (e.g. `def` statements + space indentation).
It's been a few months since I saw the video, but from what I remember all of her expectations should have been realistic when taking into account the price of the experience. This was an extremely expensive experience, and she was comparing it to things done way better at way lower price points.
Is this affecting YouTube’s bottom line?

I’m sure that creators would like to have a person to talk to, but it doesn’t seem that alphabet needs to provide one. Will they make more money if they did?
It is.. and I don’t see a way to avoid it.

If your restores are too time consuming to test regularly, they sure as shit aren't going to be useful in a disaster.
My intuition went for video compression artifact instead of AI modeling problem. There is even a moment directly before the cut that can be interpreted as the next key frame clearing up the face. To be honest, the whole video could have fooled me. There is definitely an aspect in discerning these videos that can be trained just by watching more of them with a critical eye, so try to be kind to those that did not concern themselves with generative AI as much as you have.
Russian version of this article, published slightly earlier AFAIU ( https://habr.com/ru/companies/pt/articles/863536/ ) does not look very AI-assisted, but still contains some of the weird moments you mentioned.

"discreet" looks like translation error, in russian version word "special" is used. PC/AT is still there, as well as Xeon example (latter does not seem "not quite right" to me)
I took this conversation to be about ECC, not RSA.
It seems like there going that direction - especially the way they setup the Sora interface, It feels its nearing a video editing product.
Interesting!
I am not familiar with how integer weights work for LLMs, can you give me more details?

I would honestly be surprised if that was the case, but if you really tried, then you tried.

You pick who you’d hope would continue the mission OR you try to sell to employees.

> And what if they do 180 a week later?

Then you picked wrong, but the risk of picking wrong is not a good reason to not try to pick correctly.

> All networks are hostile. This is no longer a paranoid theory,

Was it ever?

We say "The enemy carries the message". That's one of Kerckhoff's
formulations of what is now more broadly seen as the Shannon-Kerckhoff
and Dolev-Yeo models [0,1];

Assume that hostiles know everything about your technical measures
except for your keys, and own every node on the network.

The further insight today is "Assume every device is hostile" and
apply appropriate opsec (like keeping devices out of sensitive meetings
etc). There are very few trustworthy endpoints unless you're capable
of building and auditing them yourself down beyond the OS level to
firmware and hardware.

In my observation the accusation "paranoid theory" is always
propaganda from those who have an interest in breaking security,
selling insecure products, or gaslighting others to avoid confronting
their own denial.

LHC likely created these particles which means we have single atoms that have been created and not full compounds.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but the significance of this is mostly just further confirmation of the predictions of the standard model. The standard model says such particles should exist and now that we've created them, we've confirmed that they do indeed exist.

I don't think there's much practical application beyond further refinement of theoretical physics and ruling out other candidate theories.
> The Schrödinger equation inherently contains a multiverse.

A simple counterexample is superdeterminism, in which the different measurement outcomes are an illusion and instead there is always a single pre-determined measurement outcome. Note that this does not violate Bell's inequality for hidden variable theories of quantum mechanics, as Bell's inequality only applies to hidden variables uncorrelated to the choice of measurement: in superdeterminism, both are predetermined so perfectly correlated.

People really worry about fake video and images and whatever but I have to say, the correct heuristics both already exist and have existed for a long time:

1. Anything on the internet can be fake

2. Trust is interpersonal, and trusting content should be predicated first and foremost on trusting its source to not deceive you

This is imperfect but also the best people ever really do in the general case, and just orders of magnitude better than most people are currently doing

The issue isn't models like this, it's that people are eating a ton of information but have been strongly encouraged to be credulous, and a lion's share of that training is directly coming from the tech grift industrial complex

I wouldn't even say this is the most compelling kind of tool for plausible-looking disinformation out there by a long shot for the record, but without actually examining why people are gullible there is no technology that's going to make people accepting fiction as fact substantially worse, or better, really. Scams target people on the order of their life savings every day and there are robust technologies and protocols for vetting communications, but people have to know to use them, care to use them, and be able to use them, for that to matter at all
I don’t doubt it, but even 60 seconds of temporal consistency is an improvement, even if it’s incremental.
Do you mean Microsoft 365 for Enterprise? Teams is the chat app.

Thunderbird can sync with Microsoft 365 for Enterprise mail servers and can be configured to store email in a maildir format. So you could use Himalaya to read emails that Thunderbird synced, but you can't manipulate Thunderbirds maildir.
You can use V0.dev to build your frontend components.

You can also pay someone like Tailwind for a license to their UI kits which grants you access to premade components and full website templates.

What I don't understand is why modern phones like my iPhone 14 Pro have UI lag sometimes... Like you can see the frame-rate visibly slow down sometimes on translucency animations etc.

Like the 14 Pro is so much faster than the first couple iPhones, and those didn't even have UI lag like that.
I'm confused, it sounds like you're saying the same tape was being ejected every week and then reinserted without any rotation. But in that case, shouldn't the weekly backup process have failed because the tape was full? Was nobody getting those alerts?

Or do you mean the backup process was fine, but they restored from the wrong media, a very old tape that was about to be overwritten, instead of retrieving the one with last-week's copy?

That's... a good result, actually. No, I'm serious.

This reads exactly like my inner thought process on a novel or tricky task I'm asked to solve, especially when I know I'm tired (or drunk, back in the times I consumed alcohol on a regular basis), and need to spell everything out (out loud or in a text file).

Hell, it's exactly how I expect a kid who just learned about fractions would think. I have a vague recollection I processed such tasks this explicitly as a kid, until I understood the topic.

LLMs pulling this off reliably? That's huge progress. I used to say[0] that GPT-4 is best imagined as a 4 year old kid that memorized half the Internet. But this? This is 8 year old's stuff.

[0] - I currently prefer comparing it to "inner voice", and its performance and propensity to hallucinations to a smart schoolkid that's being asked questions by the teacher about things they only read about but didn't fully process, and who's pressured into giving some answer, as saying "I don't know" is an instant F and public humiliation. Such kid will be forced to extrapolate on the spot, but if they're smart enough and remember enough, they'll often get it at least partially right. I know that from personal experience :).
I'm not so sure, one of the primary complaints about IP farming slop that major studios have produced recently is a lack of firm creative vision, and clear evidence of design by committee over artist direction.

There’s a fun short story in qntm’s “Valuable Humans In Transit” about a scenario like this.
Too charitable indeed. Google was simply unprepared and has inferior alternatives.

My prediction is that next year they will catch up a bit and will not be shy about releasing new technology. They will remain behind in LLMs but at least will more deeply envelope their own existing products, thus creating a narrative of improved innovation and profit potential. They will publicly acknowledge perceived risks and say they have teams ensuring it will be okay.
And Big Capitalism doesn't give two shits. They drew some lines and people on your side of the line on average cost more than they produce (based on their numbers, which are likely not reliable) so you get banned.

The platform will always be preferentially targeted because the larger you are the more you have to lose, the more likely it is you actualy have assets to go after if you don't deal with the alleged noncompliance.

How have y'all not realized that's how all this works?

It's why DNS is an anti-feature. As long as registrar's exist, it'll be an active lever utilized for basic deplatforming. Until everyone can host their own stuff, and networking is de-hub-and-spoked, this type of behavior will continue.
Even excusing used hardware you can litterally buy brand new ready to go windows based pc's in that price bracket.

Prices from Pimoroni. The price of a Pi 500 is £84.60 for the unit + £11.40 for the PSU + £3.90 for a micro hdmi adaptor (which I'm adding because almost everyone will need one). Giving you a total of £99.90 plus shipping. You'll also probably need more storage as it only comes with the 32gb micro sd (down to about 27gb after OS space) but I'll exclude that from this for now.

- For £74.99 including delivery & PSU you can get a Kuyia Win10 Pro Celeron J4105 mini pc with 8GB rand and 256gb SSD.

- For £80 including delivery & PSU you can get the GMKtec G3 N100 with 8GB Ram, 256GB SSD, or pay £10 more an get 16GB Ram, 512GB SSD.

Theres so many of these around now. I know people have a soft spot for the Pi but it's really not the best option for most applications, and hasn't been for a long time now.

All of these, for a desktop experience are better. All of them have hardware Windows licenses should they be wanted. All of them support Linux, all of them are upgradable.

Unless you need GPIO the prices just do not make sense, and if you're willing to buy used/refurb the leap in specifications is even higher.

> Not all details matter, some do

This is a key observation, unfortunately generally solving for what details matter is extremely difficult.

I don’t think video generation models help with that problem, since you have even less control of details than you do with film.

“The version of Sora we are deploying has many limitations. It often generates unrealistic physics and struggles with complex actions over long durations. Although Sora Turbo is much faster than the February preview, we’re still working to make the technology affordable for everyone.”

My rule of thumb is "if you had the opportunity to tell your side of the story but chose not to, then I'm going to accept the other party's side of the story as gospel".
I feel two things simultaneously reading this.

On one hand, the original study seems faulty, on its face (a human who isn't involved in a project can't possibly accurately assess how much actual effort went into a particular commit - much less, an AI model.) And the media's interpretation of the results (10% of engineers do nothing all day) is obviously laughable.

On the other hand, despite the premise and interpretation being laughable... I feel like the conclusion kind of isn't. We know from our own experiences that many engineers at large companies are not producing much value with their time. 10% is an underestimate. And it's a problem I reflect on quite a lot.

But the reasons are a lot more complex than, they log in to work everyday and then go take a nap. No, rather most of the time an engineer is not producing much value because she is not being asked to produce much value, she's just being asked to look busy. In other words it's an organizational problem.

Per Parkinson's Law, you can take any engineering task previously done by an individual and expand it into work for an entire team. (Take that API and turn it into a service, take that service and make it into a bunch of microservices, take those microservices and deploy them on Kubernetes, take that Kubernetes cluster and automate its maintenance and deployments and upgrades, and now take those maintenance processes and wrap them in an internal service...) And at every step of the way, you can easily justify to your boss, and your boss's boss, that the work is important. And some of it is! But it's a difficult job figuring out where to draw the line exactly, and most leaders have no incentive to do so (bigger org = bigger paycheck).
O(sqrt(N)) is easily dominated by the relative ease of constructing much bigger classical computers though.
not to be confused with "Drunk Magnus", a very strong player.
That’s a very SV view on things; i.e. that small companies inevitably get acquired. Most small companies don’t actually get acquired, and are not looking to be acquired.

The simple answer is: Choose a registrar without significant external investors.
Where exactly do you think the idea for a quantum computer came from in the first place?

One could ask why the boring company landing page exists in the first place though. If it's not providing value to humans to warrant actual attention being paid to it...
i think its relevant that the liar has to say false things, which is more limited than just not-true things.

if you dont assume the vacuous truth, and instead leave it undefined, then when hes got no hats, "all my hats are green" is absurd, rather than false.

the gotcha only stops applying when you put a vacuous false, rather than true or undefined.

is this really a flaw in applying classical logic? with the vacuous true, the only information you get from "all my hats are green" being false is that they have at least a hat, same as the intuitive result
