It's an interesting article but if you had five extremely experienced traders and you used historical events (and supplying them with enormous memory prompting by giving them headlines from financially important events like CPI, interest rate releases), chances are they can remember a huge amount of the results.
This is why glitter has been banned from my house.
There is no backdoor but the model is heavily censored and biased towards China. It refuses to discuss Chinese or North Korean politicians, Tiananmen square, Uyghurs or anything sensitive to China. It's quite positive about Putin - it doesn't mind trashing Western leaders, though. It may write clever code, and I understand that Chinese researchers have to abide by local laws, but it certainly has opinions that are incompatible with mine.
Adding insulation has complications, but not as many as you're making it out to have. You're making it sound like adding insulation requires replacing your heating system, and it definitely doesn't.

Making it just "add insulation" doesn't reduce the problem to trivial levels, but it does reduce the problem significantly.
>What value do they actually add to the business?

We bring the right people together at the right time to solve the right problem
This is so true. I love wfh.
>Almost every small business and government office I see is still using VGA.

I dont know where you are from but all Government Office and SME I have been to ( and I have been to a lot ) all have HDMI for their TV since at least 2020. They may have VGA lying around but they are not used. In fact the last time I went to an office that doesn't have HDMI port and only VGA was roughly 2016 or 2018.
> Unsurprisingly they all get quite stubborn if you ask them about topics like Tiananmen Square

Has anyone made a political censorship eval yet?
That was my thought, is model as a computer the best we can do?

Isn’t that limiting our perspective of AIs models to being computers and what computers can’t do, so the model can’t do.
thats also a part of the scientific method.

you dont believe the results you get, so you keep designing an collecting data from more experiments until you cant deny it anymore
how do you calculate what the maximum is, do you have a model for it?
Never touched a CMX, with the EditDroid being the oldest I ever saw and it had a trackball/scrub knob.

But the vi keybindings are directly from the LSI ADM 3A terminal, which is what Bill Joy wrote vi on.

It had overloaded hjkl for the arrow keys compared to it's predecessors like the 7700A and successor 3A+ that had dedicated arrow keys.

The fact that Home/~ were the same key thus ~ being your home directory and that esc was where the tab key is on modern keyboards explains a lot about the vi keybindings.
Honestly this is really sad

Motor-sports safety-related regulations only affected some pilots and the people following those races (or the percent of those followers that were in for the roughness of it all, not the safety aspect). On the other hand, environment-related regulations are affecting people on a global scale, without too much recourse (apart from trying to vote in populists/extremists, when that is allowed of us). That difference in scale matters.

Also, rallye as a sport is pretty much dead now, it has been dead since the late ‘90s, give or take, and those safety regulations were a big part of why it is now dead.
It’s absolutely possible to put a backdoor into an LLM.

For what it's worth, the product demands $50 for what is essentially a < $1.00 3D printed case and a < $1.00 NFC tag. You could probably (not endorsing it!) find the NFC code online and just dump it to a tag of your own.

Well, looking at their (as far as I can see highest end) accelerator the n300s we get:

- 24GB of memory

- 576GB/s of memory bandwidth

- $1400

As a hobbyist this is still not compelling enough to get excited and port my software - same amount of memory as a 4090/3090, half the bandwidth as a 4090/3090, slightly cheaper (than a 4090), more expensive (than a 3090), much worse software support. Why would I buy it over NVidia? This might be more compelling to bigger fish customers who would buy thousands of these (so then the lower price makes a difference), but you really need small fish people to use it too if you want to achieve good, widespread software support.

However if they'd at least double the amount of memory at the same price, now we'd be talking...

It actually has little to nothing to do with the connector standard but more of the TV system itself. I know there is HDMI / HDCP handshake but they dont contribute much to the 5s of switching channels.
Vim is this editor that a senior backend engineer told me to go try for a week, when I was still relatively junior. Like really try to remember all the shortcuts, not some half-assed attempt then laugh about not being able to remember <esc>:wq. If I were able to demonstrate fluent Vim skills at the end of the week, he'd gift me his TKL mechanical keyboard with a Vim keycap on the escape button.

It's been 9 years since that challenge, and I'm still typing on the Filco keyboard. Good memories. Although I've since moved on to NeoVim for the LSPs. It's nice that I can freely edit files on any machine for something I picked up in a week.

Show HN: Dropnread – Prepare your codebase for LLMs with a simple drag and drop
I built this tool because I found myself constantly needing to share codebases with LLMs for analysis, and manually copying files was tedious. The tool strips comments to save tokens, and excludes irrelevant files like node_modules, .git and so on. Just drag a project folder, and it combines all files into a single text that fits within your chosen LLM's token limit.

Features:

- Support for GPT-4, Claude, Gemini models with their respective token limits

- Comment stripping for common programming languages

- Configurable file/folder exclusions with sensible defaults

- Token counting

- No installation needed, works in your browser (the code never leaves the browser)

- Respects your privacy

- Open Source MIT License

Try it: https://dropnread.io

Source: https://github.com/yani-/dropnread

Tech stack: Pure JavaScript, Tailwind CSS, no build process needed.

Would love feedback from the HN community!

I had it trying to guess the economic status of a snow leopard.

It's difficult to definitively determine the leopard's age or exact health from the image, but it appears to be an adult in relatively good physical condition. There are no clear indications of its economic status or lifestyle

I'm late to reply but for the record I think you're way wrong about music. You (and I) are just old. I'm a musician and I do think there is a sense in which the most popular songs are "worse" - they contain fewer, simpler musical ideas. But there are plenty of good song writers doing interesting stuff. I'm not totally on the ball as I do prefer music from the past. But I would point to Billy Eilish as a particularly young example, there's also Jacob Collier for instance. Both very unusual, very popular.
I'd say it would be more expensive to make it like that? There's already enough complaints about how 'expensive' the Pi line has become (I don't think they are in reality taking inflation into account, FTR), so adding a few £ would mean they would be more expensive again.

In addition, there's not that many chances for performance upgrades - there's only been 2 generations in the current form factor, and that could change again depending on where the Pi6 line goes?
No, you don't only look at the end result when determining whether a work is derivative of another. The process with which one produced the work has implications whether it is a derivative or not.

For one, if you can show that you didn't use the original copyrighted work, then your work is not a derivative, no matter how similar the end results are.

And then if the original work was involved, how it was used and what processes were used to are also relevant.

That's why OpenAI employees who did the scraping first-hand are valuable witnesses to those who are suing OpenAI.

Legal processes proceed in a way that is often counter-intuitive to technologists. IMHO you'd gain a better perspective if you actually tried to understand it rather than confidently assume what you already know from tech-land applies to law.
That's why we usually end up starting with projectiles instead of ships. Once the drive is ready, someone will take it from you for a few decades to shoot at things.

Impact seems to have a timelined meaning, starting with destruction, then following up with conquering, and exploration coming somewhere before constructive applications at the far end.

As apes we just can't keep holding back till we can build houses or something with it, when we also could just throw that stone at something. Especially before someone else does :)
>perpetually terrible retail availability

Not sure I see that, aside from during the chip shortage when CM4 in particular were like hen's teeth. Aside from post-release shortages, I've always been able to get whichever model I need, at a non-scalped price, typically with next day delivery.
Withing that is this implicit assumption that managers are correct that forcing people back to the office will make everyone more productive.
What you need is a crystal ball for price (which Citadel etc has), not crystal ball for other information.
As someone who has purchased a half dozen SBCs over the years but who has also switched to mini PCs the other thing that you start to miss is having a real BIOS so you can install a vanilla operating system. With the SBCs, there is often a single Linux distro that is supported, and which rapidly stops getting updated. Even using stuff like Armbian, it's challenging to use an SBC that is more than a couple years old, and I've had bad experiences where the NIC stops working after a software update.

Sounds like a failure of regulation to me. I can't imagine how it would be possible to just rely on the moral compass of whoever ends up setting policy at a huge insurance company. It's one thing to try to live a good life, but you can't fight incentives, and it's far more likely that each cog in the machine doesn't have a particularly hard time justifying their own contribution.

I'd ideally like to see decisions about medical necessity made by a third party who isn't financially tied to the outcome of a payout decision, but failing that the insurance companies should be held to a high standard which is obviously not happening.

(This may be because many consumers have their insurer chosen for them by their employer, and will change insurer only when changing job.)

Interesting. I was curious what a single-payer healthcare system like the NHS has in comparison. The NHS is good for this because it has generally good data availability.

Here’s the summary for autism: https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/sta...

Based on this, I think the truth is that most societies are going to struggle to care for these people. We face a problem with a workforce expanding too slowly and increasing rates of these mental conditions. We’re going to have to either ration care or let something else go.

At this point, we have 1% of the federal budget dedicated to dialysis. Over time, I expect that we will allocate similar quantities of money to other chronic conditions that we have no means of escape from. Certainly some of the tools we use incentivize bad behavior (like the flat payment structure described in the article) but the fact that healthcare in another country is facing the squeeze indicates this isn’t the broad trend motivator.

If we do not accept the reality of rationing care, we must accept the reality of letting go of something else: pensions, our ability to patrol foreign waters, incentivize businesses or so on.

It’s an interesting thing. I would not have expected one of these things to have been a Precipice for our society.

Akai LPK 25 is like $50 brand new, so is LPD 8 if you're more interested in pads (MPK Mini gives you both for $100 new). There's cheaper options out there, but that's the cheapest I know from a well-established brand.

Even if you have no interest in music, get one. MIDI is super easy to read, you can DIY something like an Elgato Stream Deck for a third of the price, physical volume knobs included. It's up there with a Raspberry Pi for the coolest cheap gadget.

Having owned Macs and supported Macs in IT... Both Dell and HP had lower TCO and that's only more true now since I can still extend the life of the Dell/HP/Lenovo if need be with disc/ram upgrades if push come to shove.

In 5 years the Mac must be replaced...
I suppose that is because of social exclusion. If all the important things are coordinates online and in real-time, then those kids can't participate. Communicating with your peers is much harder when the peer's baseline is "I'll just write a chat message" and it would take considerably more effort to talk to the kid who doesn't have mobile internet access.

That kind of sarcasm is not just saying the opposite of what you mean. It’s an attempt to compel the reader into understanding their own flawed rationale by presenting an argument under the reader’s pretense that is obviously flawed.

An adolescent way of thinking would be deriding sarcasm as beneath you intellectually.

However, toBsky.com exists to fill that gap in the meantime and offer users an easy, free way to enhance their profiles with analytics and a memorable link.

The interpretation of these studies is a bit confused to me. Most of the proposed detriments are entirely plausible, but that is about as instructive as finding out that air pollution is bad for you during the industrial revolution.

What are the effects on the opportunities of a child today, with restricted access to tech for 18 years in a highly developed country? What are the effects on a country with wide spread restrictions? To the best of my knowledge there's very little data on that (for obvious reasons), but that should maybe lead to a little more prudence when it comes to weighing the negative effects of the much simpler to run studies.

We use combustion engines, have noise, air and light pollution, move too little, sit on desks and use phones not because we enjoy harming ourselves, but because of the benefits attached. It's great that we run studies to learn more about how we are effected. But reasonable consequences, less clear.
When the LLM knows how to simplify/solve the formula and the person using it doesn't, it could be much more efficient than directly running the brute-force/inefficient version provided by the user. A simple example would be summing all numbers from 0 to a billion; if you ask o1 to do this, it uses the O(1) analytical solution, rather than the naive brute-force O(n) approach.
The funniest bit about upgrading to Sequoia for me was that running programs in Apple's debugger breaks establishing local network connections.

i.e. a device directly connected via ethernet can be communicated with when running the binary normally, but cannot under lldb. Meanwhile no prompts about allowing network connections etc. are presented.

That wasted at least half a day until I realized I could just use the upstream LLVM debugger.
Apple might aspire to be the Ferrari and Lamborghini of the computer world, yet that is exactly why their growth is now limited, and they are desperately looking to iPhone next, failing at VR, arriving late to the AI party, and there is only so much rich people in the planet.

Why does a group of Year 8 pupils (age 12-13) have smartphones in the first place?

I don’t know what age I’m giving my son a smartphone but it’s sure as hell not as early as 12.

“But my friends all have one”? Then I judge his friends’ parents.
Well, I think it was mainly the social media, notifications, and content consumption – not so much the smartphone itself. Dumping the smartphone was simply a "cold turkey" solution.
it is a risky gamble IMHO.
(some) needy/vain people use it to 'prove' to themselves 'I am so close to person X that we understand each other so well that when I say the opposite they still understand me'. IE it's a bit like yanking a chain to prove it still holds.

Problems with that.. people get tired of people continuing to yank chains for no good reason (cry wolf). And other people are busy with their own lines of thought and lives. So instead of the intended (wow we understand each other/so close!), 25% (* ) of the time instead the receiver thinks "hmm he's probably in a bad mood today?!"
So, net effect is instead often to be viewed as grumpy moody.

Famously, kids don't parse sarcasm well, neither at them or others. My grandfather, who was,
in retrospect,
actually rather cool, was viewed as semihostile by us kids, because he often phrased his terms of endearment sarcastically. Net result was that we thought he didn't like us much, merely tolerated us. That is what macho sarcasm got him.

Now I am his age, with similarly bad habits. I guess my kids will end up sarcastic too.
