Encoders are suffering from the curse of all successful AI applications: they work so they are no longer AI.

Excited about trying this out, less excited about recalculating a petabyte worth of embedding if it's as good as it looks like it will be. At least I can keep my house warm.
This is actually a really nice interface for working with generative AI.

This seems like it could be really powerful and actually useful.
I imagine it's expected return is the same as Kelly

Given two options with the same expected return, most people would prefer the lower variance.

Accepting higher variance with no increase in expected return has a name: gambling.
Beautiful, thanks for sharing it!

I think the portfolio argument is an unnecessary detour though. There's a two-line proof by induction.

1. The payoff in the base case of (0,1) or (1,0) is 2.

2. If we are at (r,b), r >=b , have $X, and stake (r-b)/(r+b) on red, the payoff if we draw red and win is X * (1+(r-b)/(r+b)) * 2^(r+b-1) / (r+b-1 choose r-1) = X * 2^(r+b) * r / ((r+b) * (r+b-1 choose r-1)) = X * 2^(r+b) / (r+b choose r).

Similarly, if we draw black and lose, the payoff is X * (1-(r-b)/(r+b)) * 2^(r+b-1) / (r+b-1 choose r) = X * 2^(r+b) * b / ((r+b) * (r+b-1 choose r)) = X * 2^(r+b) / (r+b choose r). QED

Zooming is indeed an issue but selection works fine for me on safari ios.
In your requirements.txt, do you pin the concrete versions or leave some leeway?

If you aren't precise, you're gonna get different versions of your dependencies on different machines. Oops.

Pinning concrete versions is of course better, but then there isn't a clear and easy way to upgrade all dependencies and check whether ci still passes.
Explorer: A tool for visualizing and exploring agent traces
I think that's very subjective. SPAs load pretty quickly on a modern network. It's pretty much a non issue unless you are a bit OCD about such things. And I've seen some nice examples of SPAs that are actually quite nice to use. Mostly we're talking about the content of 2 or 3 floppy disks from way back (I'm old enough to have used those). Even back then that wasn't a lot. Many interesting things required multiple floppy disks.

My observation is that people vote with their feet. Including developers. The developers who complain the most about this stuff aren't actually building a whole lot worth talking about.

Anyway, it's hard to break conventions when the convention has actually been SPAs for quite some time now. Most major websites are simply not very old school at this point, to put it mildly. That stopped being good enough a long time ago.
I’m not sure the ancients had even basic stats?

But also… didn’t it require a cultural shift from seeing psychological problems as being caused by demons, or as being part of the nature of a person, to seeing them as pathologies that could be cured?
That might look like a toy, but that kind of remind me the Minority Report screen, where you see Tom Cruise moving things with a hand-mouse device.

The UI built by Tldraw is different from a chat interface. That doesn’t mean it’s not a good fit to interact with an AI/LLM.

I definitely see this in the hands of kids, just like they are great interfaces to code video games without writing a line of code.
You're right on North Macedonia (which again needs $200k, so terrible value for the $ hence the low takers) but wrong on others. Montenegro suspended its CBI program and Panama never had one, only a residence visa which then you use to naturalize after 5 years (plus it technically doesn't permit dual citizenship although enforcement seems non-existent)

For EB-5, China and India have a waitlist but that's only in the 'unreserved' category. There are new EB-5 categories now that both reduce the investment amount required and processing can be done in a couple months now. If one really wants to immigrate and has the money, EB-5 is still the best choice by far.
Tbf this isn't Hamas' first rodeo. They've been firing rockets into Israel since their conception. Then there was that ceasefire and the pullout by Israel from the Strip, but Hamas never really believed in a ceasefire. 15 years later, we ended up here.

While I don't think ARM = the Apple way, we see that nowadays no one would create a component ecosystem like there was around x86. This would be the death of personal computing, we would just own appliances.

So we should cherish and extend x86 while we can.
It's not even the perfect, it's the pointless. A new society that completely lost touch with ours is about as knowable as what's on the outside of the universe.

How does that even happen, by the way? Humans survived but somehow lost all knowledge/language and all artifacts they could have used to bootstrap? I've never really understood a realistic sequence of events that leads to that.
And fill them with what? How much nuclear waste are you expecting? At most you would need a few Yucca Mountain size facilities per century, because you need to reprocess at some point. There would probably be a few other facilities in other countries.

Bad idea anyway, you want geological stability and either low moisture or clay sealing. There are several good places, that are more than big enough, but putting waste everywhere would be stupid. At that point just store in dry casks like we do now.
I can only think of one thing. The computational overhead of this parsing insanity.

With the size of modern web pages and the scale. This must amount to a very significant cost.
Python packaging is broken mostly because bootstrapping is broken, and it cascades to packaging but people don't know the bootstrapping is responsible and blame packaging.

Not saying packaging doesn't have faults, but on it's own, on a good Python setup, it's actually better than average. But few people have a good setup. In fact most people don't know what a good setup looks like.

And here is why bootstrapping is broken: https://www.bitecode.dev/p/why-is-the-python-installation-pr...

Is the Tech Industry on the Cusp of an A.I. Slowdown?
>I've heard people quip that browsers should be less forgiving and enforce perfection. That allowing jank makes the web somehow 'bad'.

Considering all the misery inflicted by computer crime that's enabled by the forgiving attitude, I 100% agree. And given the choice between "you can still visit the Space Jam website[0]" or "never worry about drive-by ransomware again", I'm pretty sure I'd be with the majority in choosing the latter. Security is a heavy price to pay for whimsy. Old-technology hobbyists could still run old web browsers in sandboxed VMs.

Commercial airliners tend to fly themselves to a large extent.

Most of the aircraft used in general aviation are about as good at flying themselves as a motorcycle.
It is, I think, a common feeling among Echo/Alexa users. Now that people are getting used to the amazing understanding capabilities of ChatGPT and the likes, it probably increases the frustration level because you get a hint of how good it could be.

I believe it boils down to two main issues:

- The narrow AI systems used for intent inference have not scaled with the product features.

- Amazon is stuck and can't significantly improve it using general AI due to costs.

The first point is that the speech-to-intent algorithms currently in production are quite basic, likely based on the state of the art from 2013. Initially, there were few features available, so the device was fairly effective at inferring what you wanted from a limited set of possibilities. Over time, Amazon introduced more and more features to choose from, but the devices didn't get any smarter. As a result, mismatches between actual intent and inferred intent became more common, giving the impression that the device is getting dumber. In truth, it’s probably getting somewhat smarter, but not enough to compensate for the increasing complexity over time.

The second point is that, clearly, it would be relatively straightforward to create a much smarter Alexa: simply delegate the intent detection to an LLM. However, Amazon can’t do that. By 2019, there were already over 100 million Alexa devices in circulation, and it’s reasonable to assume that number has at least doubled by now. These devices are likely sold at a low margin, and the service is free. If you start requiring GPUs to process millions of daily requests, you would need an enormous, costly infrastructure, which is probably impossible to justify financially—and perhaps even infeasible given the sheer scale of the product.

My prediction is that Amazon cannot save the product, and it will die a slow death. It will probably keep working for years but will likely be relegated by most users to a "dumb" device capable of little more than setting alarms, timers, and providing weather reports.

If you want Jarvis-like intelligence to control your home automation system, the vision of a local assistant using local AI on an efficient GPU, as presented by HA, is the one with the most chance of succeeding. Beyond the privacy benefits of processing everything locally, the primary reason this approach may become common is that it scales linearly with the installation.

If you had a cloud-based solution using Echo-like devices, the problem is that you’d need to scale your cloud infrastructure as you sell more devices. If the service is good, this could become a major challenge. In contrast, if you sell an expensive box with an integrated GPU that does everything locally, you deploy the infrastructure as you sell the product. This eliminates scaling issues and the risks of growing too fast.
Seeburg had the whole concept - blah music intended only for background use, total ownership of the content, several different playlists for industrial, commercial, and dining settings, and their own distribution system.

Their main competitor was Muzak, which started delivering blah music in 1934, and, after much M&A activity and bankruptcies, is still around as Mood Media.[2] Muzak won out, because they could deliver content over phone likes or an FM broadcast subcarrier, rather than shipping out all those records.

Here's a free stream from a Seeburg 1000, from Radio Coast.[1]

Microsoft 365 will be renamed to Microsoft 365 Copilot
Conda used to be a life saver when years and years ago, compiled extensions were hard to install because you had to compile them yourself.

Nowadays, thanks to wheels being numerous and robust, the appeal of anaconda is disappearing for most users except for some exotic mixes.

conda itself now causes more trouble than it solves as it's slow, and lives in its own incompatible world.

But anaconda solves a different problem now that nobody else solves, and that's managing Python for big corporation. This is worth a lot of money to big structures that need to control packages origin, permissions, updates, and so on, at scale.

So it thrives there.
So much of the modern computing environment goes incredibly far out of its own way to hide information from the user. It's getting difficult just to see the URL in mobile browsers, and in some fairly general-purpose computing environment (iPads, etc) the concept of a "filesystem" has become very abstract and increasingly difficult to ascertain.

It doesn't surprise me that people half my age have difficulty with some of these - it's much harder for them to play with and explore the concepts.
That's an impossible standard, and by it you should also stop having opinions on this matter.
I find the PFC program utterly unsurprising.

Take all the easy listening covers that every single cafe seems to be playing on end. It’s the perfect storm:

Cafe wants quiet music and music customers know. Spotify wants to pay only songwriting royalty instead of both songwriting and performance royalties.
I agree. I have left streaming services, and rely on purchasing digital downloads of albums to obtain music. I am very into a niche subgenre of electronic music where many artists don’t have their music available on streaming services. I pay for those albums (if I like the music, obviously) and I am happy about it. I also fairly happily pay $3-5 for an album that is available on streaming services. But when I encounter albums that are on streaming platforms, but cost $10+ for the digital download, it’s a hard pill to swallow. I want to give them money for their music, but to do so I must give them vastly more than their listeners on streaming platforms give them.

I know that artists often just treat digital download sales as a donation mechanism, akin to a busker’s money can. But I want to pay for music, not donate to artists who are then handing that along to streaming services by giving them their music practically for free.

I’m not sure if my feelings about this are justified, or if they’re irrational.

This exists in automotive, cf. ASPICE. And even more extensively in aviation.

The HN crowd is mostly web and mobile and unaware how broad the software field is, even though software in safety-critical applications of course predates both.
Agreed that a C++ API for qml would be great. qml by itself is great though, I don't see why it is unweildy. If anything it's unpolished, there is stuff that is more difficult than it should be, but it's miles ahead of what there was before imo.
EHR is basically freeform text. So you use LLM to parse the text for certain conditions and criteria.

Yet, during my 8-years at Instacart, they were our most effective and consistent weapon in ensuring we made meaningful progress on our hairiest problems.*

to be a really long-winded way of saying, "I'm utter shit at management, refuse to prioritize until it's a company-threatening crisis, and I'm happy to make my team suffer for my incompetence."

I'm sure the employee churn at Instacart was in no way related to this fact.

And now he's operating a PE/rollup firm.
I have no clue why people would use Conda

The big thing to realise is that when Conda first was released it was the only packaging solution that truly treated Windows as a first class citizen and for a long time was really the only way to easily install python packages on Windows. This got it a huge following in the scientific community where many people don't have a solid programming/computer background and generally still ran Windows on their desktops.

Conda also not only manages your python interpreter and python libraries, it manages your entire dependency chain down to the C level in a cross platform way. If a python library is a wrapper around a C library then pip generally won't also install the C library, Conda (often) will. If you have two different projects that need two different versions of GDAL or one needs OpenBLAS and one that needs MKL, or two different versions of CUDA then Conda (attempts to) solve that in a way that transparently works on Windows, Linux and MacOS. Using venv + requirements.txt you're out of luck and will have to fall back on doing everything in its own docker container.

Conda lets you mix private and public repos as well as mirroring public packages on-perm in a transparent way much smoother than pip, and has tools for things like audit logging, find grained access control, package signing and centralised controls and policy management.

Conda also has support for managing multi-language projects. Does your python project need nodejs installed to build the front-end? Conda can also manage your nodejs install. Using R for some statistical analysis in some part of your data pipeline? Conda will mange your R install. Using a Java library for something? Conda will make sure everybody has the right version of Java installed.

Also, it at least used to be common for people writing numeric and scientific libraries to release Conda packages first and then only eventually publish on PyPi once the library was 'done' (which could very well be never). So if you wanted the latest cutting edge packages in many fields you needed Conda.

Now there are obviously a huge class a projects where none of these features are needed and mean nothing. If you don't need Conda, then Conda is no longer the best answer. But there are still a lot of niche things Conda still does better than any other tool.

> The web is built on this foundation of resilience, both in technology and ethos. It's what allows a website from 1996 to still render in a modern browser. It's what lets a page load even when half the CSS is invalid. It's what makes it magic.

The concept of graceful degradation in web feature support is dead now. Presently most of the web fails to render at all if you don’t execute a giant javascript blob in full that is responsible for putting the words on the page. It’s quite sad.
